Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Another person asked: "May I ask Master Zhu, when will this hero meeting be held in Longxi?"

Fatty Zhu gestured and said, "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

"How many days?"

Fatty Zhu was also unambiguous, stretched out a slap, and said, "It only takes five days!"

Many people fell into silence again. Tens of thousands of people stayed in Longxi for five days. It was indeed a grand event. At least it could promote the local economy of Longxi to take off a little, and the GDP could be doubled no matter what?

This is a good time to make money and make silver.

But this time the object of making money is the water bandits who make people look angry, Nima, there are still tens of thousands of people.

It's really a mouse as an escort for a cat, asking for money but not dying.

Since Guo Ye was in Longxi, everyone was not so upset, but soon, another fatal problem came to mind.

Sure enough, someone with a quick mind immediately raised it and asked, "Well, can these tens of thousands of water bandits be given money for their basic necessities in Longxi?"

Yes!

This is the key. Who has ever seen a bandit eat, eat, stay in a hotel, and give you money generously?

But tens of thousands of water bandits come to spend and don't give money. Isn't this going to overwhelm Longxi County?

When Fatty Zhu was asked this question, he also fell into hesitation for a moment, as if he hadn't really considered this matter.

Because he had never seen any bandits who gave money to eat and eat out.

How the hell should I answer this?

Suddenly, a thick and firm voice came in from outside: "I'll give you the money!"

"You entertain guests with confidence and courage, and all the money will be paid by the official!"

shhhh~~

No. 30 people present at the scene followed the source of the voice one after another, looked out of the hall, and suddenly it was the handsome and heroic training envoy of the Six Counties Regiment——Guo Ye.

Chapter 182 The Water Bandits of the Heroes Conference Enter the City

It was personally agreed by Guo Ye, the host and organizer of the [-]-mile Minjiang Heroes Conference, and the military commander of Yizhou Prefecture.

All expenses of this event will be paid by Mr. Guo.

Everyone was thirsty in the scorching summer, but they could drink a glass of iced sour plum soup. They were so happy and happy.

With Guo Ye's words, it's like taking a reassurance, it's all right.

Eight villages in the ten miles of Longxi, and even in the territory of Yizhou Prefecture, who knows that Brother Guo is quite keeping his promise, never cheating, and what he carries is Jibu Yinuo, which is more important than a thousand catties.

Immediately, everyone nodded in agreement and praised, swept away the previous wave of worries, and then left the Guo residence one after another.

It can be said that I came here with pleasure and returned with satisfaction.

Watching these dozens of merchants leave the living room and walk towards the gate of Guo Mansion, Fatty Zhu on the side hesitated for a long time, and sighed behind Guo Ye shyly: "Little, little brother, do you open your mouth like a lion? It’s a little too big, don’t look at the tens of thousands of water bandits who have only tossed about in the city for five days, but they don’t have 8 to [-] taels of silver, tsk tsk, don’t even think about closing this gap!”

Guo Ye suddenly nodded, turned around and said, "How much silver do we have now? Could it be that we didn't even save tens of thousands of taels of silver in the search a few days ago?"

Fatty Zhu has always been in charge of miscellaneous matters such as money, food, and weapons in the army. Guo Ye really doesn't know how much money he has now.

Hearing this, Fatty Zhu said with a solemn face: "The money is barely enough to deal with, but this hero conference is such a toss, all the wealth we have saved with great difficulty will be in vain. Then the **** It's important to get on with your life."

Fatty Zhu's implication is that he has worked so hard to save up his family's wealth. If the Heroes Conference takes care of everything, he will have to go back to the pre-liberation all at once.

After listening, Guo Ye smiled and glanced at Fatty Zhu, who looked like a philistine like Grandet, and said with a smile: "Fatty, money is not saved, but earned. Small money doesn't come out, big money doesn't come in." Don’t worry, wait for the Caobang to be completed in the future, hehe, our home on the [-]-mile Minjiang River is equivalent to holding a golden rice bowl to live, and then the gold and silver will be like flowing water, lying in our pockets.”

After Guo Ye finished speaking, he didn't allow Fatty Zhu to babble again and again, and urged: "Go, go, listen to my buddy, you can't be wrong, if you are in short supply all of a sudden, you can discuss it with my father-in-law, even if you borrow with him at high interest rates. .This old man is smarter than you and knows how to make a lot of money. Once you open your mouth, he agrees."

After finishing speaking, he forcibly pushed Fatty Zhu out of the living room to prevent him from being hypocritical.

After walking into the courtyard, Guo Ye counted the days with his fingers, and murmured: "It seems that I have to hurry up and discuss with Guan Jiujiu. After choosing the venue, I will hand over the hosting of the hero meeting He, and only a pretentious guy like him can go on stage without showing timidity. As for Lao Tzu, there are still fun things to do..."

Suddenly, Guo Ye raised his eyes and found a delicate figure walking through the corridor, it was the housekeeper of Guo's mansion, the young woman Zhenniang, walking slowly, shaking her waist and hips.

Immediately ran up and shouted: "Zhen Niang, go and see if Cheng Erniu's idiot is still in the mansion, and say that my brother called him to do something."

"ah!"

Zhenniang was frightened by Guo Ye's sudden yelling, she stopped in a panic, then turned her head to look at Guo Ye who was rushing towards him, her face froze and she patted her chest with her small hands, and said angrily: "So it's Brother Guo, Startled the servants."

Shit, it's said that crazy women are pretty widows, they can't be wrong at all.

Seeing Zhenniang's coquettish and coquettish behavior to the core, Guo Ye's heart was ready to move for no reason.

However, she was quickly corrected by the business, forcibly resisted the urge to step forward and be flirtatious, and ordered: "Zhen Niang, go and find Cheng Erniu, that stinky girl Xiaoman knows where he is. "

Zhenniang bowed her knees and said a thousand blessings, said hello, turned around again and left shaking her small buttocks.

Looking at the back of Zhenniang leaving gracefully, Guo Ye wondered in his heart, after finishing the hero conference, can he consider giving Zhenniang this little girl?It's not the same thing after years of working hard, we are also normal men, aren't we?

……

……

In the next few days, the entire Longxi County, inside and out, up and down, kept up with clockwork, and began to turn busy, with only one purpose, for the smooth holding and successful conclusion of the hero meeting.

On the first day, Kang Bao divided the government soldiers into four gates, and personally led 200 people to sit at the head of the east gate.

The next day, the regiment training army began to patrol various parts of the city in different shifts.

On the third day, all the inns, restaurants, and other miscellaneous shops in the city put up big red announcements, saying "Welcome heroes from all walks of life to visit the inn", "Welcome heroes from all walks of life to stay in this inn", "Welcome heroes from all walks of life to visit our inn" Tea." "Welcome..."

It can be said that there are so many varieties and patterns, and the atmosphere of the entire Longxi County is suddenly exaggerated, just like going to a temple fair on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

In addition, it is now the first month of the lunar year, and the heat of the Spring Festival is still there, making it even more noisy, and I can't find the original sense of panic that the water bandits are about to enter the city.

On the fourth day, Guan Jiujiu finished repairing the selected meeting place, and received Guo Ye's order. Guan Jiujiu was in charge of the meeting, and everything was handled according to the rules and regulations that Guo Xiaoge explained.

As for Guo Ye himself, after explaining to Guan Jiujiu, he disappeared from everyone's sight suddenly.

There is no Guo Mansion in Fushun Lane, no Wu Mansion, no county government office, no streets and alleys, and there is no trace of him.

Disappeared with Guo Ye were Cheng Erniu and the twenty or thirty brothers with good skills in Cheng Erniu's hundred-man team.

Fortunately, these loyal confidants of the Guo family class have received rumors from Guo Ye that the little brother has other important things to do, and everything remains the same.

Otherwise, not to mention that the Hero Conference has not yet started, Longxi County will start to mess up because of the search for Guo Ye.
