I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The war was over, Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan were responsible for the reorganization, and Du Qi went straight to the house to rest.

After all, stayed up all night last night.

The spirit is a little ill.

When Du Qi woke up, it was already afternoon. As soon as he woke up, Liu Jian came to wait for Du Qi to wash and bring the food. Du Qi went back to the study to deal with government affairs after he finished eating.

In the evening, Liu Zhengxi came.

Liu Zhengxi reported: “His Royal Highness, Xue Rengui, who went to Dushan, sent a sentry to report the news first, saying that he has arrived in Dushan and is counting the supplies. The specific situation needs to be completed. It can be sent back. Now there is only one message that has been returned first.”

Du Qi nodded: “Now that Dushan has been taken down, the thieves in Suzhou have been wiped out. Next, It is against Shazhou and Guazhou.”

“That means it.”

Liu Zhengxi was nodded.

“dong! dong!”

The knock on the door sounded outside the study again, and the attendant reported: “Your Majesty, I want to see you.”

” Please!”

Du Qi gave an order.

The attendant sent the order, and after a while, Yu Deshui came to the study. When he saw Du Qi, he bowed to Du Qi and said: “Your Highness!”

Today, Yu Deshui has been involved in affairs on a large scale, and because he is in charge of the World’s First Building, he also takes care of it. intelligence. Yu Deshui is also a very core member under Du Qi’s command.

Du Qi nodded: “What’s the matter?”

Yude Waterway: “Reporting back to Your Highness, there is the latest news. The new Shazhou Provincial Governor Wei Shuyu, Guazhou Provincial Governor Su Dingfang is about to arrive in Jiuquan County. They are about to arrive, do you want to prepare to meet them in advance.”

Earlier, Li Shimin wrote back to Du Qi, informing Du Qi of Suzhou The candidates for Provincial Governor are arranged by Du Qi, but the candidates for Shazhou Provincial Governor and Guazhou Provincial Governor are appointed by Imperial Court.

Du Qi has no opinion on this arrangement. Suzhou, Shazhou and Guazhou are the areas that Li Shimin wants to control. The territory Du Qi wants to seize is to the north of Guazhou, and that is his area.

Du Qi nodded and said: “You go to arrange it, and when they arrive, the king will greet them personally.”

“Yes!”

Yu Deshui immediately It should be down.

For Yu Deshui, this is not difficult.

After Yu Deshui turned and retreated, Liu Zhengxi said: “His Royal Highness, the mining of coal is now proceeding in an orderly manner. However, the coal is mined in large quantities, and a part of it is now sent to the Cement Plant for use. , The other part is used in the forging of weapons.”

“It is not consumed.”

“There are also large quantities of coal, which are useless, all piled up. The backlog caused by the accumulation of mountains is huge. So much coal is mined, and the intention of your Highness is definitely to sell it after the cold weather.”

“In fact, there is too much hoarding. There is too much coal, and too much money is wasted. So Humble believes that whether to suspend coal mining, wait until the second half of the year is cold.” Liu Zhengxi said: “After all, open Mining of coal and rock will continue to use money. This is a bottomless pit where money is invested, and too much money will be invested in it.”

The mining of coal and rock, Liu Zhengxi thinks is of little use.

Because of investing too much money.

Du Qi said with a smile: “Mr. Liu, coal is a very critical strategic material and must continue to be mined. In the future, whether it’s cooking by fire or smelting iron, or the rest Anything that can be used on fire can use coal. Such coal must be left. As for the use of coal, I will make a separate explanation. Because Jiuquan is not our foothold at the moment, so I I didn’t carry out any reforms, and waited for a foothold in the west to discuss.”

When Liu Zhengxi heard this, he stopped talking. He believed Du Qi’s arrangement. From the early tea, to the restaurant, to the Cement factory, down jackets, etc., it was Du Qi’s arrangement.

The appearance of Newspaper was also proposed by Du Qi.

It can be said that Du Qi has countless fantastic ideas and countless feasible operations.

Liu Zhengxi stood up to say goodbye, then turned and retreated.

Du Qi was reading in the study alone. Not long after the afternoon application, news came back that Xue Rengui had returned. In this campaign, Xue Rengui attacked Dushan and obtained 40,000 shi of grain, which is a lot of materials. In addition to this, there are some money, weapons, and armor, and the rest are cattle, sheep and other livestock, and the rest are nothing.

It is also good to have seized these materials.

We have money and food to supply ourselves.

After the conclusion of the battle, Xiao Yuanqi Statistics gave the names of the soldiers who died in the battle, and all the lists and methods of compensation were sent to Du Qi. Du Qi approved one after another.

Du Qi also arranged the award for the officers.

Xiao Yuanqi arranged it one after another according to Du Qi’s arrangement.

All the awards in the military should be awarded.

All those who should be caressed.

After this incident, the morale of the army lieutenant and generals rose extremely for a while. After all, the soldiers in the army received a lot of money in this battle, plentiful harvest.

With money, and having face with Du Qi, the soldiers are happy.

When the sky was getting dark, Yu Deshui came to the study and reported: “His Royal Highness, Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang have arrived at the city gate and are heading for the palace.”

“Let’s go and meet at the door.”

Du Qi stood up and ordered.

For Du Qi, Wei Shuyu is a relative of him. Moreover, he and Li Jing went north to crusade Turkic, and he had some friendship with Su Dingfang, so he made a special trip to meet him at the door.

Du Qi dressed in formal clothes, came to the door. The lanterns on the palace are now lit, and the palace is brightly lit. The waiting time was not long, and the entire group of Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang had arrived.

The two drove on horseback.

When the entire group arrived outside the house, Du Qi scanned his eyes and raised his brows because he saw Fang Yiai. However, Du Ruhui’s letter mentioned Fang Xuanling’s request and hoped that Fang Yiai would follow him.

Du Ruhui responded.

Du Ruhui specially came to the letter, let Du Qi take care of Fang Yiai.

Du Qi was not surprised by this. He nodded to Fang Yiai, then flicked his robe and said with a smile: “Brother Wei, Brother Su, the style remains the same after many years! “

“I have seen King Pingxi.”

Wei Shuyu stepped forward to salute.

“pay respects to King Pingxi.”

Su Dingfang also stepped forward to salute.

Both know that Du Qi can reminisce about the past and can be brothers with them, but they have to pay attention to etiquette and follow the rules. As for Fang Yiai, now he is only an accompanying person, and for the time being a transparent person.

Du Qi waved his hand and said: “Two people, please!”

“Pingxi King please!”

Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang answered at the same time.

Du Qi walks in front, Wei Shuyu, Su Dingfang, Fang Yiai and the others walk in the back. After the entire group entered the mansion, the host and guest were seated, because it happened to be the evening for dinner, Du Qi directly let the person open the table to pick up Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang.

Du Qi picked up the wine bottle and said, “Brother Wei, Brother Su, welcome to Longyou Road. In the future, I will do many things with you, so I will bother you two to take care of it. If If I did something wrong, I would like to ask you to help me.”

Du Qi’s posture is very low.

He is a courtier and then a soldier.

Whether it is Wei Shuyu or Su Dingfang, Du Qi takes the initiative to release goodwill. If the other party accepts it, that’s all. If the other party doesn’t accept it, then no wonder Du Qi.

Even if the two and Du Qi are friends, Du Qi will not show mercy. Because it is outside of Guazhou, that is where Du Qi wants to stand, and no one is allowed to intervene.

Wei Shuyu modestly said: “His Royal Highness has turned the dead end. I came to Shazhou and served as Shazhou Provincial Governor. His Highness must help me. After all, I don’t have a single soldier here. People are here to take office.”

Su Dingfang said: “His Royal Highness, I have brought three thousand soldiers. But it is not easy to manage Guazhou with this strength. After all, the area of ​​Guazhou is quite wide. It’s also located on the border and the environment is quite complicated. Therefore, the great help of His Highness is still needed.”

Paused, Su Dingfang continued: “Before I came, I visited Li Jing Teacher. Teacher once said. , In Guazhou, I will discuss the matter with His Royal Highness. I deeply agree with Teacher’s suggestion.”
