Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 670 The Elders Call

  This world is not black and white. In fact, almost no one is pure black or pure white. Most people live in gray, but some people are more white, and some people are more black.

  If you want to live well in this world, you have to adapt to this gray area.

Li Xin probably knows a little about what the current weapons supervisor is like. This Zhao Jianzheng, who is polite in front of himself, has another appearance in front of those craftsmen, deducting wages, rebates for iron ore, etc. He has done most of the things that can make money. Of course, he has to send money to the officers and gentlemen of the Ministry of War. After all, the money for the military equipment supervisor must flow from the Ministry of War.

   With Li Xin's current status, it is only a matter of one sentence to replace this Zhao De, but he is too lazy to do it, after all, this is not his responsibility.

   This is something the emperor should take care of.

  There are too many injustices in the world, Li Xin can't handle it, and he won't handle it unless it touches his bottom line.

   However, there is still a need for verbal reminders. At the very least, Zhao De must be slightly restrained on this matter. Otherwise, he will lose face as a minister of military affairs.

   Zhao De respectfully sent Li Xin to the door of the Weapons Prison.

   Li Xin sat in the carriage driven by Chen Shiliu and closed his eyes again.

   This matter is very strange. If the emperor started preparations for the northern expedition three years ago, it is impossible for the weapons supervisor to remain silent until now, and at least there should be a lot of reserves.

   But the weapons supervisor on this side of the capital has no reserves. If this Zhao De did not deceive himself, then...

   Li Xin took a deep breath and glanced north.

   Then, in the prison of the old Northern Zhou capital to the north, most of the weapons are already piled up like a mountain.

   Wanting to understand this, Li Xin slowly let out a breath and stopped worrying about this matter. After all, the matter of Beizheng is not his own business. What he has to do now is to do a good job in the Ministry of War.

The Military Weapons Superintendent has already done it. The other thing is to purchase Zhurongjiu. The Yujiu Division responsible for brewing Zhurongjiu is a royal business. At present, it should be one of the eight eunuchs in the inner court. Since it is the emperor's own business , then things are much easier to handle, just give a little money in a symbolic way and let them send the wine to the Ministry of War.

   Anyway, it is impossible for the Ministry of War to buy wine from the Imperial Wine Division at the market price. At this price, I love to sell it.

   If you don't sell my military department, you won't want it.

   As long as Li Xin maintains this attitude, it is impossible for the Imperial Wine Division to refuse to accept the softness. After all, this is their boss going to fight the north, and it is not Li Xin's military department that is going to fight the north.

After finishing the matter of the Military Equipment Supervisor, Li Xin returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and when he walked to the gate of the mansion, he saw that Yu Linwei's people had already begun to move money to his house. Obviously, the note that Li Xin wrote to Xie Dai worked.

   In other words, the household department gave face.

   Lord Jingan narrowed his eyes and walked towards Xie Dai who was in command.

   "Xie Lang Jiang, has the Ministry of Finance sent money?"

  Xie Dai hurriedly turned his head and said respectfully, "Master Hou, the Ministry of Accounts has already allocated the money, tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the rank and file will be able to figure out the amount."

  Li Xin patted Xie Dai on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "Well done."

"Tomorrow afternoon, the people from the Weapons Supervisor will come back to the Hou's Mansion to collect the money. At that time, please Xie Lang will hand over to them clearly. As for the weapons and equipment, such as the armor, knives and crossbows, this officer also asked the Weapons Supervisor to prepare them. , When the money here is clear, please ask Xie Lang to take the four hundred brothers and **** them to Yunzhou City."

   Having said this, Li Xin said with a smile: "But there are so many things, most of you one commander's camp is not enough. Go back and tell your majesty, your Yulinwei's right camp will **** these things to the north together."

  Xie Dai was stunned.

   He stared blankly at Li Xin, and asked dumbly: "Master Li, shouldn't these be done by people from the Ministry of War... How can I still have Yulin Wei to **** military resources..."

   Li Xin's face was not blushing or his heart was beating, and he said lazily: "This matter has already offended the Ministry of War, so let's not bother those old men of the Ministry of War, just let Yu Linwei do it by himself, and you should rest assured."

   "Why, Xie Lang will not be willing?"

  Xie Dai shook his head again and again and said, "No...it's just a little sudden."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said: "It's a good thing to go to the north. At the beginning, this official was also ordered to **** things to Yunzhou City. After returning, he was promoted to a level. Xie Lang will wait to come back from the north. Maybe It's Yulin Weizhong's general."

  Xie Dai smiled bitterly, bowed his head to Li Xin and said, "Thank you Hou Ye Jiyan."

   Li Xin smiled and went into his house with his hands behind his back.

  …………

   The next morning, when Li Xin had just finished standing on the fist pile and was about to sit down and rest for a while, a servant in the Hou residence sent an invitation to Li Xin.

   is not a wedding invitation, but simply an old man, please tell Li Xin to the house.

  Li Xin took the invitation, looked around, and finally decided to go out. The reason is very simple. The owner of this invitation is someone he can't refuse.

   Zhang Qu.

   Zuo Pushe, the current minister, is the prime minister among the prime ministers of the three provinces and the most powerful civil servant in the entire Taikang court.

Such a big man, although not as influential as Li Xin's professional teacher Ye Shenggao, but in terms of authority, he has already surpassed Ye Sheng by a lot. Such a big man in the court sent a message asking Li Xin to go to his house, why should Li Xin want to? Go on a trip to save face.

   After stuffing the invitations into his sleeves, Li Xin did not choose to ride in the carriage, but took out his Moli horse from the backyard and turned on his horse.

This black horse is the brother of Li Xin's original Wuyun horse. Wuyun was seriously injured that night because of the change of the Renchen Palace. He passed away a few years ago. Horses too.

   After Li Xin got on his horse, he turned around and said to Chen Shiliu: "If a person surnamed Zhao comes to the door later, let him wait for me in the side hall, and I will be back in the afternoon at the most."

  Chen Shiliu nodded respectfully: "Understood, Lord Hou."

   Li Xin then rode out of Jing'an Hou's mansion. After turning the horse's head, he left Yonglefang and walked towards Mingdefang next door.

Yes, the civil official leader of the Great Jin Dynasty, Haoran Gong, who is also the leader of the Shilin literary world, does not live in Yonglefang, but in the next Mingdefang, not because Zhang Qu is not qualified, but because Zhang Qu is not qualified. The old man kept a low profile.

  In the entire Yongle Square, including the two families of Jing'an Hou's Mansion and Chen Guogong's Mansion, Zhang Qu and Zhang Haoran's status can still be the first leader in the court.

   This kind of person no longer needs to rely on where to show his identity. On the contrary, because he lives in Mingdefang, the status of Mingdefang will be greatly improved.

Li Xin quickly arrived at the entrance of Zhang's residence in Mingdefang. After handing over the invitation from Zhang's residence, the servants of Zhang's residence saluted Li Xin respectfully, and then brought him to the living room to serve tea. Li Xin only sat for a while. After that, an old man with gray hair and beard walked slowly into the living room from the backyard.

  Li Xin got up and bowed his hands to the old man: "Junior Li Xin, I have seen Mr. Haoran."

   In terms of grade, Li Xin is no worse than Zhang Qu, and even a little higher, so he discussed seniority here, which is regarded as giving old man Zhang respect.

   Zhang Qu glanced at Li Xin and said with a smile, "Master Li Hou came so quickly."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "The elders are summoned, I dare not not come."

   Everyone, don't go out easily! It's dangerous outside! Wear a mask when going out!

   So scary...
