Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty The Honest Lord
Gu Qing gradually mastered Han Jie's speaking style.
Sometimes he is not upright, but unconscious.
Every time he said something that deserved a beating, he didn't feel it himself. That face that wasn't even handsome was full of innocence, and people couldn't bear to punish him.
"The attitude of the Marquis towards the three Tibetan businessmen is very different. Is there any plot? The general always feels that the Marquis is playing a big game of chess, but he can't figure out how the Marquis plays it."
Gu Qing sighed: "It is indeed a big chess game. If it succeeds, it will at least save the Anxi Protectorate from having to worry about it for ten years. If we are lucky, we may be able to defeat the entire Tubo and make it our territory of the Tang Dynasty."
.”
Han Jie was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "The Marquis indeed has an earth-shaking strategy. Tubo has been a problem that has plagued the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. If it can be quelled by the Marquis, it will be a great achievement passed down in history."
Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that simple. This game of chess is too big. With my ability, I can only do it reluctantly. It also depends on the right time, place and people. Each one is indispensable. One wrong step will be in vain. The most important thing is,
This is a national strategy that requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources, so the emperor of Chang'an must support me, otherwise it may be difficult to achieve it with Anxi alone."
"Is it difficult? Why don't the Marquis speak to Your Majesty and explain the pros and cons of this situation? With Your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely agree to the Marquis's plan."
Gu Qing glanced at him with a smile and said: "If it were that simple, everything in the world would be easy. The court is very complicated, and so many eyes are staring at Anxi. It is too risky for me to play this game. Your Majesty and the court will not know how to do it."
I agreed easily."
Planning for national affairs is also a desperate plan, and there is no room for mercy in the war between the two countries.
Calculating the time, An Lushan will probably raise his troops in the next year. In less than two years, this national plan may not be effective, but it will play a certain role. In the future, when Gu Qing leads his troops eastward
, so that the Tibetan army would not raid the home.
Therefore, Gu Qing's next plan against Tubo was not only to eliminate a century-old trouble for the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, he wanted a stable rear. When he led his troops eastward to suppress the rebellion, Tubo would not be able to invade Anxi even if it knew that it was empty.
.
Tubo has such a large territory, but the cultivated area is less than one percent of the entire territory. Unfortunately, Tubo is too unsatisfactory. In addition to the staple food of highland barley, the other economic crops are also very poor, which led Gu Qing to want to use Tubo to cash in.
Some commercial crops seem a bit far-fetched and do not gain much credibility.
Still holding a soft and wilted Tianshan Snow Lotus in his hand, Gu Qing looked at it carefully, his mind racing rapidly.
Han Jie sighed: "Master Hou, don't look at it. You can see that there are only a few uses for flowers. The reason why Tibetan medicinal materials are difficult to sell is because they are not many varieties and have single effects. We in the Central Plains and Han Dynasty have many medicinal materials.
They can be replaced by Tibetan merchants. The Tibetan merchants brought them all the way. The cost is not small, and the asking price is also high. The price is high and impractical, so only a fool is willing to buy it."
Gu Qing ignored him, still looking at the Tianshan Snow Lotus in his hand, and murmured: "What will the martial arts writers think after a thousand years? Why do they all say that this thing can increase one's martial arts? It's obviously just a medicine to treat dysmenorrhea and palace cold.
It is more appropriate to call it a 'friend of women'..."
Han Jie smiled and said: "Yes, this thing is very effective for women, but we men can't use it."
Gu Qing still murmured: "I don't know whether the border supervisor is a man or a woman. Why don't we give him some medicine to see the effect, but he doesn't have dysmenorrhea, and the cold in the palace may be enough..."
Han Jie suddenly became nervous: "Master Marquis, please think twice. Even if you drug the border supervisors, don't let the general go."
Gu Qing seemed to remember something and suddenly said: "Did you just say that this thing is for women?"
"Yes. This medicine has strong heat properties and is quite effective in treating cold women's uterus."
Gu Qing smacked his lips and sighed: "It can be regarded as an advantage. No matter what kind of medicine, there must be a reason. It will be reasonable when it sells well in the future."
Han Jie looked at him in confusion, and Gu Qing smiled: "You are much cuter when you are ignorant than when you are mean-mouthed."
Looking up at the sky, Gu Qing said: "It's almost time for dinner. Let's go to Fuzhi Inn. I'm here to make the inn shine. I hope the female shopkeeper won't press for debts, which will affect the appetite.
.”
Han Jie was surprised and said: "Master Hou, this is the first time that you have taken the initiative to go to the inn for dinner."
"Really? Ever since I owed the female shopkeeper a hundred taels of silver cake, I feel guilty every time and dare not look at her. Is this love?"
…………
"Debt" and "love" are two different things. When you are "in debt", you feel guilty when you see your creditor, but when you see your beloved, you avoid your eyes, which is shyness.
Gu Qing was not shy about Huangfu Sisi, he only felt noisy. Huangfu Sisi always liked to sit opposite him every time he had dinner, holding his chin in his hand and staring at him without blinking, with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his lips.
If Gu Qing hadn't been reluctant to give up such a delicious meal, he would have reported her for harassment and thrown her into jail to reflect.
Today's food is still delicious. The female shopkeeper seems to have completely mastered his taste. She can always make dishes that are salty and salty, and strives for perfection. She is still learning and trying. Gu Qing already has a feeling of panic in his heart.
Once a woman has mastered a man's stomach, she is not far away from mastering his heart. As a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Shaobao, Guanglu doctor and Marquis of Qingcheng County, Gu Qing held a high position of power and status, but he was raped by a woman.
I conquered it easily with a few meals, but it sounds like I have no future at all, and I feel very useless...
Ignoring Huangfu Sisi's affectionate gaze, Gu Qing finished three bowls of rice very comfortably and calmly under her gaze. In the last bowl, he soaked the leftover rice in oil soup. The food was swept away, and the disc operation was very thorough.
After burping, Gu Qing stroked his belly and said lazily: "The food money is still recorded in the account. Well, money has been tight recently..."
Huangfu Sisi rolled her eyes and hummed: "I know, it is a great honor for me to have the Marquis come to the shop for dinner. How can I dare to ask the Marquis for money..."
Gu Qing said happily: "The girl finally realized that yes, a person must have a pattern. In Anxi, I am the pattern."
Huangfu Sisi chuckled: "Master Hou is really not humble at all."
Gu Qing sneered: "If I am humble, I will show my timidity. How can a timid Marquis refuse to pay with confidence? I still have this kind of psychological quality."
Huangfu Sisi laughed angrily, shook his head and sighed: "The longer I know the Marquis, the more I feel that the Marquis is really shameless... If you are the lord of Anxi, I believe that Anxi will never suffer a loss, if the enemy takes advantage of it.
You will try your best to make up for the bargains, Anxi is lucky, I am lucky, I can finally live a peaceful life for a few years."
Gu Qing smacked his lips and quickly judged that this was not a nice word, it should be a roundabout way of scolding him.
But today I don’t care about her, I want to ask for her today.
"We've had enough wine and food, and we're in a happy mood. Let's talk about what's on our minds next..." Gu Qing suddenly stared at her with burning eyes, which made Huangfu Sisi's hands and feet go numb, his whole body felt weak, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"You...what are you talking about?" Huangfu Sisi looked flustered, and his palms were sweating unconsciously.
Gu Qing smiled, as kindly as a worker who walked into a single girl's home to repair the water pipes: "Is your health normal recently? Is your aunt on time for her monthly visits?"
Huangfu Sisi asked doubtfully: "What is a 'great aunt'?"
Gu Qing explained her doubts seriously: "The 'eldest aunt' is a relative of the woman. She comes every month, as little as three to five days, and as many as seven or eight days. Every day the blood flow is endless, accompanied by pain or uterine cold...
It can be seen from your ignorant eyes that you still don’t understand, so I’ll be more straightforward, ‘menstrual affairs’, ‘monthly letters’, do you understand?”
Huangfu Sisi blinked his beautiful eyes a few times, and finally reacted. His pretty face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he stared at him in shock and shame.
"You, you, you, you... you are a bastard!" Huangfu Sisi was filled with shame and anger.
"Don't be too busy being shy. Let me tell you something serious. Answer me seriously. Is your period on time? Does it hurt every month?" Gu Qing had a serious expression on his face as if he was doing an academic research.
boom!
Huangfu Sisi finally showed his fierce nature as the innkeeper's wife. She was so ashamed and angry that she didn't care about his identity and punched him subconsciously.
…………
Half an hour later, the two sat opposite each other calmly, looking at each other with complicated eyes. Huangfu Sisi's cheek twitched slightly, while Gu Qing's expression was dull, and a black eye socket showed that he was not actually calm at the moment.
After so many bad words, I finally got a real beating.
"Girl, I don't have any evil thoughts. Please have a more correct attitude when we talk about business. I am a serious person and you cannot have any improper thoughts." After explaining clearly, Gu Qing sighed helplessly.
Huangfu Sisi's expression was still a little shy, her face turned red and she lowered her head, covering her mouth and smiling.
"Just tell me what the Marquis needs me to do. I'll help you if I can." Huangfu Sisi raised his head and saw Gu Qing's black eyes. He suddenly chuckled and lowered his head again in embarrassment.
"I forgive you for this punch, because it offsets the one hundred taels of silver cake I owe you." Gu Qing said seriously.
Huangfu Sisi rolled his eyes at him and spat out one word: "No!"
"Let's get down to business. The girl has lived in Qiuci City for many years. She should know the young women and girls in the city. I need the girl's help to spread the word among the women's circles in the city. I said that there is a medicinal material that is very effective in treating women's menstrual cramps and uterine cold.
, Not only that, it also has miraculous effects on beautifying and whitening the skin. This medicinal material is native to Tubo and is called 'Tianshan Snow Lotus'..."
Even though he had already explained clearly, Huangfu Sisi was still extremely shy. He lowered his head and whispered softly: "The Marquis hides the man in a dignified manner, but cares about the woman... every month. It is too unseemly."
