Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Standing side by side with Guo Ye, Wang Bajin and Guo Ye, watching the river boat sail away, frowned and asked indignantly, "My lord, is this too cheap, Cui Yigui? Not only did you give him the benefit of 1 taels , and also took the land deed, house deed and land deed as collateral. One month later, he will return the principal with interest. Here and there, are we losing money?"

Guo Ye smiled, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "Ba Jin, if you don't give Cui Yigui some sweets, and don't act more realistically, how can Cui Yigui trust me completely with his suspicious temperament? Those who make big things don't care about small things, What’s the point of taking such a small loss? Don’t worry, today is just a foreplay. Just watch, the big show will start in a month’s time!”

Speaking of this, Guo Ye showed a bit of ruthlessness on his face. Looking at the boats going far away on the river, he said coldly: "My target is not Cui Yigui, nor Yangzhou Yinhao, but the Cui family in Qinghe. I want them to take Spit out everything you eat!"

Chapter 823 The Days of Waiting

In order to make Cui Yigui completely believe in his identity as a merchant in central Sichuan, Guo Ye asked Zhang Jiujin to escort 30 taels of silver to the head of the Salt Gang, pretending that he wanted to hand over silver to the Salt Gang to buy private salt.

Afterwards, he asked Wang Bajin to lead people to observe the surrounding area to see if there was any eyeliner sent by Cui Yigui.After confirming that there was no Cui Yigui's tail, he returned to Yangzhou city and the government office of Yangzhou.

The next thing he needs to do is only one thing, and that is the word "wait".

He had to wait a month before letting Zhang Jiujin escort the 30 taels of silver back from the head of the Salt Gang again, and then return the principal with interest to Cui Yigui.

He took so much trouble to move it around for only one purpose, and that was to make Cui Yigui believe that he had really smashed Yangzhou's private salt into Shuzhong, and succeeded in reaping huge profits.

As the saying goes, borrowing and repaying, it is not difficult to borrow again.

Guo Ye arranged it so meticulously, and put in a lot of effort and foreshadowing in the early stage, in order to "borrow" with Cui Yigui next time.

In the following days, besides waiting, I still wait, waiting for the arrival of a month.

In order to prevent Cui Yigui or Cui Yigui's people from bumping into him in Yangzhou City, he even locked himself in the government office and stayed at home.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

On this day, he was bored, so he played with Wu Xiuxiu on a swing in the backyard.

Wu Xiuxiu was sitting on a wicker chair swinging on a swing, and Guo Ye was behind her holding two ropes for her, pushing waves to help her from time to time.

Speaking of this swing, Guo Ye saw that Wu Xiuxiu was bored and moldy with him in the government office all day long, so he took advantage of this period of homeboy life and specially built it for Wu Xiuxiu.

It's nothing more than trying to add some vitality and freshness to her boring life.

Swinging on the swing, one is swinging, the other is pushing, the young couple are also happy and carefree. From time to time, Wu Xiuxiu's joyful laughter on the rattan chair on the swing is enough to prove that Guo Ye's romantic behavior is deeply loved by Wu Xiuxiu.

"grown ups!"

Chen Jitao suddenly ran into the backyard garden, stopped not far away, and called Guo Ye softly.

Hearing this, Guo Ye knew that Chen Jitao must have something to do with him, so he grabbed the rope that was still dangling, stopped the swing, and looked at Wu Xiuxiu apologetically.

Wu Xiuxiu heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately understood that her husband wanted to discuss something with Chen Jitao.Immediately, she gave Guo Ye a faint smile, and said softly: "Husband, let's get down to business first, and I will go to the room first to complete the needlework that was not finished yesterday. It will be the same if you spend time with me again tomorrow."

After saying that, she jumped off the swing and trot happily back to her bedroom.

As soon as Wu Xiuxiu left, Guo Ye waved to Chen Jitao, signaling him to come over.

After Chen Jitao came over, he nodded apologetically, and said in a low voice, "It's a great crime for me to disturb your lord and his wife's harmony."

Guo Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "Stop making jokes, these days I'm nestled in the government office every day, people are going to be moldy. If I don't make fun for myself and my wife, I think I'm going to be moldy and hairy. You suddenly came to me, Could it be that it’s the Yangzhou Bank and what’s going on?”

Chen Jitao said: "That's not true. Everything at the Yangzhou Bank is as usual, and Cui Yigui also opens the door to do business as usual. There is nothing special about it."

"Then you are..."

Just as Guo Ye was about to ask, Chen Jitao suddenly took out an open envelope from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "Lieutenant Liu sent a letter to the officer from Chang'an."

Guo Ye took the letter and read it, a smile gradually formed on his face, he nodded and said: "Yu Nuannuan, Chai Lingwen, Liang Shuyu are very efficient in their work, and several million taels of salt tax are actually paid in the shortest time. Make it up for me. Now the salt tax has finally been paid to the Household Department as scheduled. It’s a big thing on your mind and mine.”

Chen Jitao had read the letter before, knew what Liu Zhenxuan said in the letter, and said in a good mood: "Yes, sir, you have a wide network, and you can mobilize millions of taels of silver in Chang'an thousands of miles away. It’s really hands and eyes open to the sky, and the magic power is boundless!”

"Don't put a high hat on me!"

Guo Ye cursed with a smile, and said emphatically: "Ming Ren, this money is not a small amount. I borrowed it in the name of Yangzhou Governor's Mansion with my personal reputation. If I don't borrow money from Qinghe Cui for a day If we get back the robbed salt tax, we will have to bear the debts of Changlefang Big Bank in a day. Haha, the interest in a day is not old or young."

Chen Jitao knew that Guo Ye was already working on this matter, whether the success or failure was in the hands of Guo Ye alone, including the future and fate of the big guys, was tied to Guo Ye alone, so he could only agree with him with a smile: "That is, That is, you have to rely on the adults to strategize."

After Guo Ye reminded Chen Jitao, he changed the subject again and said, "However, the salt tax that needs to be solved urgently has been delivered to the Ministry of Households as scheduled, so for the time being, Changsun Wuji and the others can't take advantage of this to attack us, at least they can use Panasonic He breathed a sigh of relief. As for how to get back the salt tax money from Qinghe Cui's family, it is not something that can be done in a hurry. Now that the plan has been launched, the first step is considered to have successfully gained Cui Yigui's trust. Waiting for a month to expire After that, according to the plan, we need to make other plans.”

Chen Jitao clasped his hands and said: "I would like to listen to your lord's orders, and I will never give up as an official!"

Guo Ye waved his hand and said with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, it's not to the point where you will die. Ming Ren, listen carefully, you need to do these things for me next..."

While talking, Guo Ye leaned close to Chen Jitao's ear, whispering secretly to Chen Jitao about the next plan.

……

……

At the same time, in Chang'an City, in Changsun's residence.

Changsun Wuji was also talking to a guest from afar in the back garden of the mansion.

This guest was about 50 years old, dressed in a green robe, with a refined and bookish look on his face, he looked like a scholar who had read poetry and books.

This person is none other than the person who ordered the robbing of the Yangzhou salt tax in the inn in Qinghe County. His surname is Cui, his name is Heling, and he is the current head of the Qinghe Cui family.

Changsun Wuji and Cui Heling are sitting under an old tree in the back garden. It is the cold winter season, the old tree is withered, the leaves are withered, and it is a scene of twilight.

At this time, Changsun Wuji was also in the same mood as an old tree's twilight, depressed, shaking his head at Cui Heling and sighing: "Brother Heling, it's really not as good as God's calculations, and he was escaped by a kid surnamed Guo. The Ministry of Household Affairs mentioned that this year’s salt tax in Yangzhou was escorted to the treasurer of the Ministry of Household Affairs as scheduled yesterday.”

"what?"

Cui Heling's elegant complexion not only showed a bit of surprise, but he said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the treasurer of the Yangzhou government is empty now, and I have someone secretly rob Yangzhou's salt tax in Qinghe County, how could he possibly?" How can I still pay this huge amount of silver? My eldest grandson, it’s worth millions of taels. Don’t you tell the guy surnamed Guo that his family is so rich that it can rival the country? And in order not to be reprimanded by the Holy One, he even took out his own pocket and took the initiative. Fill in the salt tax of several million taels?"

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and said, "I don't know whether the guy surnamed Guo is rich or not. But this time he did pay the salt tax out of his own pocket. As far as I know, this salt tax worth millions of taels The money was borrowed from the big bank in Changlefang. Hehe, I only know that he secretly gave a foot in the big bank in Changlefang, but I didn't expect that this guy surnamed Guo would dare to cut off his wrist like a strong man, but this is also in line with his Consistent style."

"Tsk tsk, what a young hero, amazing!"

Cui Heling praised him sincerely, and said: "My lord, grandson, if it wasn't for this Guo surnamed being an enemy of our Guanlong family several times and hurting our interests repeatedly, I would like this young man quite a lot."

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said in a cold voice: "Brother Heling, this son is definitely a disaster. If he is allowed to grow stronger, he will definitely be a confidant of the entire Guanlong family in the future. Brother Heling, the Zhang family in Yangzhou is exterminated. Soon, this will be a lesson for the past!"

Cui Heling heard Changsun Wuji's dissatisfaction and doubts, and immediately put away his calm look, and hurriedly explained: "Master Changsun, don't take it to heart, Cui is just talking casually. Our Guan Long The family is united in one spirit, I know the importance of this."

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji's face softened a little, he nodded, then sneered, and continued to say coldly: "However, it doesn't matter if he pays for it himself, or a strong man cuts off his wrist, anyway, the millions of taels of salt tax in Yangzhou have disappeared, at least It would be a relief to let him bleed and lose his fortune. Hehe, this is not three or five hundred taels, but millions of taels. I want to see how he will plug this hole in the future. He'd better be In Yangzhou, if I do something corrupt and break the law to make up holes, as long as I catch him, I will definitely put him in a place of eternal doom."

Cui Heling nodded in agreement again and again, he had always believed in Changsun Wuji's ruthless methods.Otherwise, the Guanlong family would not always regard Changsun Wuji as the spokesperson in the court.

Afterwards, he remembered another matter of his visit to Chang'an this time, thinking that he would leave Chang'an and return to Qinghe tomorrow, and then hurriedly asked: "Master Changsun, Cui has another matter to discuss with you when he comes here this time." on."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Brother Heling is being polite, but it's okay to talk about it."

Cui Heling suddenly smiled shyly, and asked in a low voice: "I know that the eldest grandson has three sons under his knees, and the third son is now a handsome and handsome young man who is not yet married. What about Cui's kiss?"

Uh……
