"I'm not interested in money!"

Li Kui often said this, after all, he doesn't even know how much money he has now. If he is really interested, reading the account book can make him exhausted. Even with the wealth he has in his hands, he can not even know how many wives he has. Unfortunately, Li Kui is a man of integrity. If there are too many women, he will be unable to do so. He is determined to restrain himself.

But no one believed this!

Look, the person with red eyes stared at Li Kui, saying behind his back that he was full of personal pockets and was greedy for the minerals of the Song Dynasty.

Li Kui really did not plan to enter the turpent oil industry, mainly mining and mining. It was really troublesome for the Song Dynasty during the period. It would be better if it was a coal mine, but how could it be easy to extract oil? If the shallow oil is dug, deep oil will inevitably be mined in the future. He does not have the ability to engage in business such as drilling that requires a large industrial foundation.

However, in Yan'an Prefecture, there are really few people who can do this business. This not only requires official background, but also requires sufficient influence in the Central Plains. Li Kui is naturally the first to bear the brunt. He has his own business and a trustworthy family and marriage.

He had to reluctantly become the first black-hearted boss in Yan'an Prefecture to control three oil wells and own the first local oil refining factory.

Adhering to the idea of ​​not eating alone, he brought up his second brother-in-law Cheng Zhijie. This current commander was dizzy by the sudden merits. He became the first commander of the Song Dynasty to expand territory for the Song Dynasty since Emperor Shenzong. His subordinates conquered two states inadvertently, and he became a great winner in life, winning all the generals of the Song Dynasty. The meritorious service was promoted to the deputy commander of the front hall. It was rumored that the emperor intended to move him to the generals of the guards.

It’s just that the generals of the Song Dynasty were a bit low-end, but they were not the generals of the pre-Qin period, but below one person and above ten thousand people.

The generals of the guards of the Song Dynasty were the third rank, one level worse than the commander in front of the palace. However, they were also one of the few high-ranking officials who could become real power.

A year or two later, it will be a foregone conclusion that Cheng Zhijie will return to the capital to report his work.

Of course, if Cheng Zhijie manages the tinder oil business, the business will probably be ruined. Cheng Zhijie is a thug in this business. When encountering difficult things, you have to solve them with shamelessness. Anyway, he is a martial artist. The stupider he is, the more trusted he can get in the Song Dynasty officialdom.

Another partner is Hao Sui.

Unlike civil servants, eunuchs like Hao Sui, although they were in the local area, they were the emperor and often needed to return to the capital to report what happened to the local area to the emperor.

This also gave him the opportunity to return to Beijing to host the sales of tinea oil.

Before leaving, Hao Sui was still struggling.

"Renjie, you and I have spent a lot of money on tincture oil, so I will give it away for nothing. Wouldn't it be a pity? Otherwise, we guys can cut the price and charge a little more than giving it for free." Unlike oil lamps and oil bottles, they also have to fill the oil lamps and oil bottles with tincture oil so that people can know the benefits.

Li Kui rode his sweat-blooded horse that he had fooled from the little prince of Liao. His momentum suddenly rose. Anyway, he gave people a man's appearance of being rich in a man's family. He said indifferently: "This is a small money, the biggest business, so you can't be stingy with small money. Hao Sui, if you can't bear it, you'll be mine. We are not the kind of person who can't afford to lose."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother, are you a person who doesn't even recognize your brothers for money? Forget it, you will pay it. As long as the turmeric business can be done, our family will follow you and you will be able to save a living for your nephew to start a family and start a business." Eunuchs are a very special group. They may be selfish and flattering, mainly because of the attributes of the eunuch class. If he even said good-sounding and would not frame people, he would not be able to make a fortune in the palace and would have been killed by his peers long ago.

Once officials have a status and status, they will be particularly loyal, fearing that they will be looked down upon by others because of their own shortcomings. Of course, they will definitely not be loyal to the same kind of loyalty. When they are enemies, they will be killed by each other. They are loyal to the powerful outside the palace. Of course, if they can get a civil servant, they are still the kind of civil servants who are highly expected, and they are willing to send their wives out. In this regard, eunuchs are the most loyal people.

For a new political star like Li Kui, Hao Sui wishes to be a family with him.

Hao Sui looked like he was appointed, stood in the car and fisted at Li Kui, saying, "Brother, take care of him."

"Safe all the way!"

When Li Kui said goodbye, he instructed Peng Hu: "Protect Eunuch Hao along the way. Forget it, there seems to be no thieves around."

Although Li Kui was an official in Yan'an Prefecture for a short time, in order to train peasants, he swept all the surrounding mountains, and even did not let go of Yongxing Army Road.

In today's northwest, I dare not say that I don't pick up the road and don't close my doors at night, but my safety is guaranteed. At least the chance of encountering a disaster on the road at night is almost slim.

Unlike before, there were many defeated soldiers in Yan'an Prefecture, and returning to the military camp was a dead end. These people lost their military salary and had to hide in the mountains and forests and do business without capital.

We are at peace all the way.

After crossing the Yellow River and reaching Hedong Road, it is a smooth official road.

Hao Sui rushed all the way to the long-lost capital.

After crossing the Yellow River, it was already under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. When he saw the north gate of Fengqiu in the capital from afar, Hao Sui muttered for a while. Ten feet behind him stood Peng Hu, drooping his head, pricking his ears, and then he heard intermittent words, and swearing words.

What "I, Hao Sui, are back!"

"I won't leave this time!"

Wife and children and so on...silly words.

Peng Hu is a fighter and a loyal military man. He can't understand why eunuchs have such a deep obsession with their family. Can they do that? Will their wife raise men on their backs? The man goes to Hao Sui's mansion. If he encounters good things in his family, what should he do? He has no experience in dealing with this area at all. It's so panicked!

In particular, he is not Hao Sui's confidant yet.

It is a gift that Li Kui gave to Hao Sui casually.

In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, especially for low-level military officers, they were gifts that high-ranking officials could send at will. Peng Hu, who was unable to fight and train troops, was very resentful when he was abandoned by Li Kui. But he couldn't accept it. Looking at the people around Li Kui, he suddenly made him unable to get up to the idea of ​​winning. Twenty-eight cavalry entered Xixia and killed the Empress Dowager, Emperor, and National Master of Xixia. He could not do it even if he died a hundred times!

An ordinary character like him can only become the object of abandonment.

Peng Hu comforted himself: "Follow your father-in-law, at least be safer!"

This is true. Hao Sui is a guy who cherishes his life very much. Unlike Li Kui, who is obviously a civil servant, maybe his subordinates will lose their lives on the battlefield that day. What's the use of promotion and wealth? Isn't it a wild man who is cheap outside?

Hao Sui brewed a moment of emotion, savored his sad nostalgia, and ordered the team: "Go to Fengqiu Gate."

Peng Hu hesitated and said, "Dadfather-in-law, that... Chen Qiaomen is not closer, why..."

It doesn't matter if he talks too much, but he angers Hao Sui and rushed to Peng Hu and cursed: "You kill the embryo, Chenqiaomen is also a place where you and me can go? You don't even look at your virtues. If you want to die, don't pull us. Forget it, why are you angry with me? Chenqiao is the place where Taizu's dragon rises, and peddlers can go, but slaves like us dare not leave."

Peng Hu was frightened. He was so scared that he took two steps back, and tears were almost falling.

What do we mean by slaves?

When Li Kui was disliked and sent to others, he never said he would follow Hao Sui to attack and become a eunuch!

No, he wants to go back, he wants to make contributions, so that Li Kui can see that he also has the courage to fight for dignity. He also thought too much, and with his brain, when he entered the palace, he could kill himself with an unknown mouth. As a eunuch, Peng Hu was far from being a eunuch.

There were twelve gates in the outer city of Kaifeng Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, and there were eighteen city gates in the Kaifeng City of Kaifeng City in the Song Dynasty, including twelve dry gates and six water gates. But among these eighteen gates, there was only one city gate that was a taboo place for eunuchs in the palace, which was Chenqiao Gate. In fact, in terms of function, Chenqiao Gate was just a side gate in the north of the city and was not considered the gate in the north at all, but this gate belonged to the legendary city gate of the Zhao family. The eunuchs all had the habit of avoiding it in private. In superstitious terms, eunuchs belonged to Yin, and walking through Chenqiao Gate would impact the dragon energy of the Song Dynasty.

After entering the city, Hao Sui felt a familiar atmosphere. He was from Kaifeng Prefecture. Most of the eunuchs in the palace were from Kaifeng Prefecture, and few people in other places were young people who were determined to be eunuchs. Moreover, Kaifeng Prefecture, especially the poor at the bottom, had the experience of making a living in the city when they were young and had developed a likable mouth. Only such people could survive in the palace where crises were everywhere.

The same is true for Hao Sui. When he was young, he walked through every corner of Bianliang. He was familiar with every alley, every market, and every yamen in Kaifeng Prefecture.

After living in the northwest for a year, he became more obsessed with the breath of Kaifeng. The endless stream of people, confident and rhythmic Mandarin, and a convenient life. The key is that Hao Suiqing, his roots are in Kaifeng Prefecture, and his home is in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Back to the mansion.

Hao Sui pursed his lips and nervously used his vigilance to inspect the territory. After walking around the backyard for a while, he finally let go of his worries with satisfaction, and there was no wild man.

Only then did Hao Sui remember that his great career with his good brother Li Kui had not been completed.

Unfortunately, Li Kui is a guy who is not good at it. If Li Kui can help improve the descendants of the Hao family... these are brothers for life, but they cannot become a family.

In the afternoon of that day.

Hao Sui went to the palace to meet the emperor. As the emperor's spy, he was able to receive all the information in the northwest and delivered it to the emperor in all directions.

There are officials from Yongxing Jun Road, Qinfeng Road, Huanqing Road, and of course, Fuyan Road is indispensable.

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. Even though he saw that Cai Jing and Liu Yannian had disagreement, he deliberately detained Qin Fenglu's war horses to make profits, he was not angry. Of course, the emperor might have been the reason why he saw Cai Jing hoarding war horses and finally lost all his money, so he was not angry. However, he still asked about the situation of Qin Fenglu, as well as some situations in Qingtang Tubo, Qin Fenglu's military preparations and other issues.

Hao Sui was a person who had lived in the palace for most of his life. He sensitively realized that the emperor seemed to have thoughts about Qin Fenglu. To be more precise, he had thoughts about Qingtang Tubo. Today's Xixia, I dare not say that it will definitely not become a threat to the Song Dynasty within 20 years. Leaving a Qingtang Tubo is indeed a bit uncomfortable for the young emperor.

Only solved the problem of Qingtang Tubo. The Song Dynasty had a strategic pasture, and the problem of the most scarce war horses in the army was also solved. More importantly, as long as the land of Hehuang and the step-by-step approach to the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty would likely completely solve the border problems in the northwest within ten years. Once the Song Dynasty solved the border problems, for the Song Dynasty, the big stone that had been pressed on its chest for fifty years would be put down.

Even the finance department can afford to spend 30 million yuan in a year, and it will last for a year. It seems that there is hope for using this money to plan for the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

As long as Zhao Xu achieved two achievements, he would be the emperor of the Song Dynasty second only to Taizu. Even more powerful than Taizong. How could Zhao Xu let go of such a great temptation?

But strangely, the emperor did not ask him to recommend military generals, which was not in line with the emperor's usual style of doing things.

After leaving Xuande Gate, he was still thinking about something that he didn't think carefully about it. When he left the imperial city, he was about to board the carriage and unexpectedly met Tong Guan. This coincidence was too familiar to Hao Sui, as if he was deliberately waiting for an opportunity to come out, with too obvious traces.

"Brother Hao."

"Brother Tong, but I'm back to the palace and come back to the palace. Your Majesty is handling government affairs."

Hao Sui didn't understand Tong Guan's purpose, and he did not have the intention to get entangled with the other party.

However, after hesitating, Tong Guan reached out and made a invitation: "Brother Hao worked hard and made great contributions. Tong envied his elder brother's temperament in the northwest. I wonder if Brother Hao could give Tong a thin face and give me the opportunity to invite Brother Hao."

"I'm idle, I can do it later."

"You might as well go now. Brother Hao, please!"

Hao Sui was stunned for a moment, and then agreed happily: "Brother Tong!"

Hao's follower came out of the Chuigong Hall and realized that it was different. The emperor did not arrange errands for him, which was not common for the meticulous Zhao Xu.

Tong Guan is a person around the emperor, so he may be able to answer his questions.

Cailou Private Room.

Tong Guan enthusiastically picked up the wine cup again and flattered Hao Sui: "Brother Hao, please drink this cup!"

Compared to the beard on his face, no matter whether it is true or false, Hao Sui dared not be bold at all when he looked at Tong Guan, who stood out among the eunuchs. His alcohol tolerance was even more difficult to support Tong Guan toast frequently. The eunuchs were very cautious people. He could not get drunk, at least he could not say what he shouldn't say after being drunk.

Putting down the wine cup, he did not do it like a warrior like Tong Guan, but said solemnly: "Brother Tong, do you better say anything clearly?"

"This..." Tong Guan hesitated for a while and said, "I have begged His Majesty to go out of Beijing to handle military affairs in the northwest..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hao Sui stared at Tong Guan like a fool and exclaimed: "You are crazy!"
