Chapter 27 Turning the Caspian Sea into the Inner Lake of the Tang Dynasty
Lan'er was not a greedy person, but when she saw the 30,000 white silver ingots sent by the warrior, she was shocked. Thirty thousand taels were quite 30,000 jin, which was not something that ordinary wealthy families could easily take out. Lan'er and Xu Erniang thought they had the wrong point, so they counted it three times, one was not more or less, and six hundred large silver ingots of fifty taels.
Lan'er was so scared that her face turned pale and hurried to find Chen Ying.
When Chen Ying saw Chen Qi, he felt inexplicably strange. When Chen Ying asked Li Yuan to resign and not do anything, Li Yuan ignored Chen Ying again, and Chen Ying was so happy that he was forgotten by Li Yuan. However, he did not expect that Li Yuan actually ordered Chen Qi to come and convey the oral order.
When Chen Qi saw that Chen Ying was about to speak, he knew what he wanted to ask.
The eunuch is a rare creature with integrity, and they rely on the palace, so they don’t have many opportunities to make money. They will never smash their golden signboards. The news they sell is quite credible. Of course, they are not everyone’s money. For example, when Liu Wenjing was imprisoned, Liu Wenjing wrote a ten-thousand-word letter in prison, bribed it with a price of thousands of yuan, but he did not dare to accept Liu Wenjing’s penis.
Chen Ying smiled slightly and led Chen Qi to the room. When Lan'er happened to be hurried over, Chen Ying winked at Lan'er.
Lan'er was not ready to scatter the silver for a while. In desperation, she brought one of the silver ingots sent by the warrior. But the small teacup could not be put at all. In desperation, she just took a big bowl of rice.
Chen Ying was stunned when he saw Lan'er holding a large bowl covered with a plate. He was also worried that Lan'er would be stingy, so he put a bowl of copper coins in the bowl. A bowl of copper coins was only 200 to 300 yuan. In Chen Qi's eyes, this amount of money was just like giving alms. Chen Ying was worried that Lan'er would be backfired, so he hurriedly took it first.
Chen Ying quietly lifted up the plate and saw a fifty-two silver ingot, and couldn't help but feel ache. The entanglement on Chen Ying's face flashed away. When Chen Ying was facing Chen Qi, he was already smiling: "Eunuch Chen is here to work hard, drink more tea."
Chen Qi had already appreciated Chen Ying's method, and drinking tea was a secret code of bribery, but it was a bit strange to see the large bowl and plate on the bowl in Chen Ying's hand.
After taking it, he started to take it heavy. Chen Qi's smile became stronger.
Chen Qi said: "General Chen, Your Majesty summoned him, but there is a good thing!"
Hearing this, Chen Ying felt very at ease.
However, at this moment, Lan'er whispered softly in Chen Ying's ear: "The warrior sent 30,000 taels of silver!"
Chen Ying narrowed his eyes. He was short of money now.
If Samurai was just sending two sons to study under his school, there wouldn't be so much. Besides, Samurai had already sent it once, but Samurai gave it to him for 30,000 yuan at one time. Could it be that Samurai was told that Li Yuan was about to agree to Li Xiuning's marriage with him?
Thinking of this, Chen Ying said to the warrior: "Mr. Wu is so polite. How dare Chen Ying take such a generous gift? If Chen Ying refused to accept it, he looked down on Wu Shishou..." He ordered Lan'er who was standing aside, "Lan'er, just reluctantly take over the rich gift of Wu Shishou for me first."
Because of the origin of the Warrior, there are almost no one who can see the Warrior in Chang'an. Some are just some warriors from poor families, but Chen Ying knew that it would not be a loss to be friends with the Warrior. There was no need to pretend to be noble and not to interact with the Wu family. He decided to save and accept Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang as disciples, so he had this idea. Of course, he was disrespectful to the Warrior's generous gift.
Warrior thought Chen Ying would give up, but he was thinking about how to persuade Chen Ying to accept this gift. However, he thought that Chen Ying would accept it so happily. He seemed to be waiting for him to come to the door. He was slightly stunned. After a while, he laughed: "General Chen is really a pleasure-loving person. Shi Yao likes to meet pleasure-loving people..."
Chen Ying's coachman quickly got on the carriage. Chen Ying, the warrior, Chen Qi and his group rushed towards Chang'an without eating in the Qinglin.
...
Chen Ying was not as hostile to eunuchs as people of this era. At least in Chen Ying's eyes, the group of eunuchs is a product of imperial power in essence. Castrated men lose their fertility and are very safe for the emperor in the palace.
After all, there are too many women in the emperor, and no matter how good the emperor's energy is, he cannot take care of him.
In fact, even if the palace is full of eunuchs, women in the palace will not have a chance to have an affair.
Jia Nanfeng was one of them during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. She was the queen of Sima Zhong, Emperor Hui of Jin in the Western Jin Dynasty and the daughter of Jia Chong. She was ugly but jealous, and was once authoritarian because of Emperor Hui's cowardice. She was one of the initiators of the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty. Jia Nanfeng was not only ugly, but also did even uglier after entering the palace. First of all, she was despicable. She was ugly and disgusted with her husband's dementia and did not understand the charm. Jia Nanfeng, who was ugly and passionate, entered the palace as soon as he entered the palace.
She gave her husband a cuckold. It is said that she had long been lewd with officials who could enter and exit the palace freely, such as the imperial physician Ling Chengju and others. Since she was in power, she has no scruples and has collected male favors for her tonic, which has caused a lot of controversy in the court and the country. Her subordinates have criticized people who specifically look for a healthy young man everywhere and secretly sent it to the palace. Of course, Pan An, the most famous handsome man in ancient times, was also one of Jia Nanfeng's male favors according to unofficial history.
In addition to Jia Nanfeng, when it comes to cuckolding the emperor, Jin Yueguang, the former Emperor Zhao Liu Cong. Liu Cong's body cannot satisfy so many concubines in the harem. Jin Yueguang still stayed alone on the empty bed, so he couldn't help but find a few beautiful boys to enter the palace to save his loneliness. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanda, who was specifically unable to get along with Liu Cong's concubine, found a clear understanding of this matter. He collected a lot of evidence of Jin Yueguang's secret matter and wrote it in the memorial to hand it over to
Liu Cong saw that it was Jin Yueguang's affair, and there was a lot of evidence, so he couldn't help but feel angry. He immediately ran to the palace of the queen and scolded Jin Yueguang, throwing Chen Yuanda's memorial on Jin Yueguang's face for her to see. After reading the memorial carefully, Jin Yueguang felt guilty and did not dare to argue, so he had to kneel on the ground and cry, begging Liu Cong to forgive her. Liu Cong was furious and left, and the next day the eunuch came to report to Liu Cong that Jin Yueguang committed suicide by taking poison.
In fact, relying solely on eunuchs is impossible to avoid having an affair in the palace. As long as you want to steal, women in the palace can always find opportunities.
Chen Ying and Chen Qi walked in the same car.
As soon as he got on the car, Chen Qi felt that Chen Ying's carriage was different.
Chen Ying's carriage is equipped with new bearings, which is labor-saving and has a shock absorption system. When walking, there is almost no vibration.
Chen Qi said eagerly: "General Chen is a good car!"
"Do you like it? If you like it, this car will give you it!"
"How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Don't you look down on me?"
The two refused, and Chen Qi took Chen Ying's carriage for difficulty.
Chen Qi bowed and said, "It's so good for General Chen to know that you are going to make a fortune this time!"
"What, make a fortune?" Chen Ying asked in confusion: "How is this possible?"
"Earlier today, His Highness the King of Qin entered the palace and consulted with His Majesty. It is said that he would build a road from Chang'an to Tongguan!"
Chen Ying suddenly realized that throughout the ages, the most profitable thing was the project. With such a large project volume of 300 Miles Road, if Chen Ying was the supervisor and embezzled half of the project payment, he was absolutely sure to make the book clean and no one could find it out.
Chen Ying did not do this. The Qin Dynasty's Chi Dao was left with only a few remains in later generations. However, the data records show that it seems that part of the Qin Chi Dao was used in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. If Chen Ying could build a Chi Dao in the Tang Dynasty, it could not only be left to future generations, but at least it could improve the supply capacity of the Tang army.
It was precisely because Yang Guang built the Grand Canal that during the Tang Dynasty, although all three expeditions to Goguryeo failed, the supply of the Grand Canal allowed the Tang Dynasty to be injured but not damaged in this battlefield.
However, for the northwest and inland areas in the northwest, due to the lack of water resources, water transportation could not be navigated, and could only rely on inefficient land transportation. Whether it was the war against the Western Turks or the war against Gaochang and Kucha, the Tang Dynasty could only rely on the combat effectiveness of the Tang army to make up for its numerical disadvantages.
If there are fewer numbers, the enemy will not be afraid psychologically. If it leads 100,000,000 Tang troops to fight westward, the process of the western expedition will be very smooth.
