Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

But this time he didn't entangle with You Ji, but looked directly at Guo Ye, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Guo, it's okay to say that the crown prince decides this matter, but... ..."

"Hehe, if the Crown Prince Caobi has something to say, just say it. Now it's you who want to ask this official, not Guo. So..."

Guo Ye now knows that this little devil in Caobi is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he is still afraid that the other party will speak loudly, so he deliberately reminded: "So, please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Caobi can understand the current positions of you and me. We can reach a consensus, and everyone is happy. It is not in vain for me to be enthusiastic; if there is no agreement, hehe, I will not lose a single hair. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and your entourage of a thousand people, life may be difficult... But don't worry, If you are short of food or clothing, feel free to ask me, even if you are short of money to go back, I can help you."

What he said was as good as sending a beggar, but it was also strange that the Caobi Crown Prince was not angry at all, not angry.

This kind of self-restraint and tolerance are not what the perverted little devil just now possessed.

Which one is his mask?

Guo Ye couldn't help being curious, and An Ye, who had been sitting in the wheelchair without saying a word, couldn't help raising his head and sizing up the Fusang Crown Prince, who was not highly regarded in his mind, with bewitching eyes.

Chapter 1125 The Lion's Big Opening

After Guo Ye's words fell to the ground, he cast his eyes on the face of the little devil Caobi, and he didn't withdraw for a long time, as if he was waiting for an answer, more like he wanted to see through the other party.

On the other hand, Yagyu Kyoyoshi and Bei Chenichiro were sweating in secret. They didn't understand why their crown prince would suddenly change his mind, so they could only silently pray that His Highness the Crown Prince would not be too willful, and gave the only Tang official who could help them. excuse me.

"Hey, since Mr. Guo is so straightforward, then Xiao Wang will just say it straight."

Crown Prince Caobi bowed to Guo Ye, and said eloquently: "The total number of Buddhist monks in the Central Plains is probably not less than hundreds of thousands? So many people have migrated to our Fusang country, hehe, the cost of food and drink is not a fortune. It’s a small amount. Even if they can cultivate their own fields when they arrive in Fusang, at least their livelihood must be guaranteed for a year, right? This amount of food, hehe, our Fusang Small National Committee really can’t provide it!”

Damn, Guo Ye cursed secretly, he really didn't stalk the eagle if he didn't see the rabbit, how dare this little devil really open his mouth like a lion.

He made a rough calculation in his mind, and if an ordinary person wants to fill their stomachs, they need at least one catty and two taels of grain a day, so they need at least 360 eight catties of food for 430 five days a year, which is equivalent to about three and a half stones.Assuming that 50 monks migrated to Fusang this time...

At least 170 million shi of grain is needed to ensure that the 50 monks can fill their stomachs within a year. 170 million shi, a full 2 million jin of grain! ! !

My God, Guo Ye was dizzy for a while, this little devil really dared to speak.

This has to be reported to the palace, not to mention that His Majesty Li Er will not agree, I am afraid that the spitting star of the court officials will drown himself.

There is no way, the little devil wants to use the matter of migrating monks to Fusang to ask the Tang lion for food, but there is no way!

Immediately, Guo Ye shook his head, and resolutely refused: "The conditions are harsh, and it's hard to obey! Forget it, you can continue to toss in Chang'an City. As for the Buddhism in the Central Plains, you don't need to bother, let it take its course!"

"Uh……"

Crown Prince Caobi was dumbfounded for a moment, he didn't expect Guo Ye to refuse so simply, without any room for maneuver.

Bei Chenichiro and Yagyu Kyoyoshi also had black threads, and they scolded Crown Prince Caobi all over their hearts.

"Clap~"

Guo Ye clapped his hands twice, and shouted out of the living room: "Come here, see off the guests, by the way, ask the accountant in the mansion to wrap 100 taels of silver for the three Fusang guests who came from afar, and treat it as a package given to them by the official. "

100 two?

money for the journey?Or the entanglement of more than 1000 people?

This is obviously sending beggars away.

"Mr. Guo, be safe and don't be impatient!"

At this moment, Yagyu Kyoyoshi couldn't hold back any longer, and wanted to redeem himself: "My crown prince was joking with you just now, Datang and Fusang are in the same strip of water, we can help your Majesty, we are already with Yourong What the hell, how can I ask you for food anymore? The most urgent thing right now is for us to meet His Majesty of your country and fulfill the important task His Majesty entrusted to us. Do you think so? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The last words were naturally directed at Cao Bi, intending to remind him not to forget the important responsibilities.

After Guo Ye heard the words, he didn't issue an order to chase away the guest, but he didn't talk to him, but looked at the little devil of Caobi.Because he knew very well now that Yagyu Kyoyoshi had nothing to say, and the one who could really make up his mind was the Crown Prince Fuso, Cao Bi.

Cao Bi rolled his eyes, pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed dryly, and said, "Haha, Mr. Liu Sheng is right, Xiao Wang was joking with Master Guo just now, it can't be serious, it can't be real. This Central Plains Regarding the relocation of Buddhism to Fusang, Xiao Wang can barely agree to Duke Guo. After all, my Fusang country has always believed in Buddhism. It would be interesting to let the Central Plains Buddhism migrate to Fusang. But, since it has been resolved for your Majesty the Emperor This is a small trouble, so can Xiao Wang make a few small requests?"

Cao Bi deliberately accentuated the word "small request" with a particularly strong accent, intending to tell Guo Ye that he will definitely not open his mouth this time.

Guo Ye heard that it would be a lie to say that he was not bored, and this little grass-walled devil is really difficult to deal with.

However, he still waved his hand, motioning for the other party to speak.

Cao Bi said: "First of all, because Xiao Wang has to hide his identity, it is inconvenient to show up, so he hopes that Liu Shengjun and Beichen Jun can meet the emperor of your country through Guo Jungong's recommendation. If you return to Fusang empty-handed after receiving the reward from the emperor of your country, it will definitely attract ridicule from all the officials in Fusang. Moreover, this time the Fusang court knows that the prince led a delegation. I'm afraid my brother will also use an excuse to speak ill of me in front of His Majesty the Emperor."

The little devil still knows that His Majesty Li Er loves face, values ​​reputation, and likes to slap his face to make a fat man. He hopes to take the opportunity to get some rewards, and he is addicted to taking advantage of it.

However, Guo Ye also analyzed from Caobi's words that the interior of the Fusang court and the palace are not monolithic, which is rather useful information.

This is not a big request, just treat it as a meat bun beating a dog.So, he nodded and said, "That's no problem. As long as you agree to relocate hundreds of thousands of Buddhist monks from the Central Plains to Fusang, it will be regarded as a small favor for His Majesty, and it will be no problem to meet the two Patriarchs."

Seeing Guo Ye's promise, Cao Bi said, "Xiao Wang also hopes that my thousand-member visiting group will be able to get enough freedom during their stay in Chang'an."

Guo Ye could more or less hear the other party's real purpose, but he still pretended to be stupid and asked in a daze: "Sufficient freedom? Could it be that you have stayed in Chang'an for so long this time, and someone still restricts your personal freedom?"

Cao Bi laughed dryly again, and said, "Master Guo, Xiao Wang knows that you are in charge of the yamen of the leading military guards, and the security of the entire Chang'an city is in your hands. However, this time when our group of thousands of people is in Chang'an, we want to learn The culture and advanced skills of your country, such as weapon shops, blacksmith shops, wineries, and bookstores, hope that these places can be opened to us Fusang people. The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, so why should we guard against us? What about a small country like Fusang? Isn’t it great that the two countries are friendly and make progress together?”

Good mother!

Guo Ye's face remained the same, but he cursed heavily in disgust in his heart, secretly thinking, I know you little devils didn't hold back your farts when you came here this time.The majestic crown prince of a country said such shameless words, his face almost caught up with the old lady's foot wrap.

Some time ago, due to Dongchang’s vigilance in advance and preventive measures in advance, Caobi’s group did not get what they wanted in Chang’an City, and they were repeatedly blocked. Either the shop was closed or temporarily closed, and they were not given any chance to learn. .This is also the real reason why they stayed in Chang'an City for a long time and refused to leave.

Guo Ye suppressed the disgust and irritability in his heart, nodded and smiled against his will: "Is there such a thing? I just returned to Chang'an recently, so I really don't know the details. In this way, as long as your group of people in Chang'an City don't If it violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty and does not endanger the public security of Chang'an City, I will order it to go down and do my best to make it happen."

After he finished speaking, he did not forget to turn his head and glance at An Ye who was sitting in the wheelchair. There was a strange look in his eyes, because they were carrying the grass wall on their backs, they naturally couldn't detect it.

However, An Ye understood and didn't respond aloud, but nodded slightly, expressing that he knew what to do.

When Caobi and the others heard Guo Ye's words, their faces immediately lit up. This was their biggest purpose for coming to the Central Plains this time.I didn't expect the other party to agree so easily, and my heart was suddenly elated.

Cao Bi laughed loudly, and praised Guo Ye without hesitation: "Master Guo is really bold and forthright. He really deserves to be the pillar minister of the Tang court and the number one celebrity in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

If someone else wears this high hat for Guo Ye, he will welcome it.But Cao Bi, the little devil, he just listened to it. If he could listen to the little devil's flattery, he would surely be eaten by them until there was not even a bone left.

He chuckled lightly, and then asked: "Alright, I have agreed to all of His Highness Cao Bi's requests. Does that mean that the deal between us has been concluded?"

"slow!"

Cao Bi hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang has one more small request at the end."

Damn, what else is there to do?

Guo Ye was suddenly unhappy, his face was filled with joy, and his brows were already twisted into a big pimple.

Seeing this, Cao Bi quickly explained: "Master Guo, don't misunderstand, Xiao Wang is not a person who wants to make progress. It's just that this small request is Xiao Wang's personal request, and I hope Master Guo can help make it happen."

Guo Ye asked patiently: "Let's talk, let's see if I can help you with your personal request. If I can't help you, don't blame me for being reluctant to help."

"I can do it." Cao Bi said with a look of anxiety on his face, "As long as Mr. Guo can facilitate this wonderful thing about Xiao Wang, then Xiao Wang will be grateful to Mr. Guo, and will be deeply moved!"

As he spoke, he quickly moved his gaze away from Guo Ye, and slowly landed on the girl You Ji who shared the couch with him beside him...
