After listening to Liu Deng's instructions, Du Ziteng hurriedly prepared a gift. Before leaving, Liu Deng gave Zhao Wengu a few words.
Even though she is just a little girl now, she has been enjoying herself in Honglu Temple recently.
As Liu Deng's personal maid, she is naturally very popular in Honglu Temple. All the officials in Honglu Temple serve her carefully. After all, the status of His Highness is different now.
As the only one among the kings surnamed Liu who is good at fighting, he can be met by all the petty officials in Honglu Temple. In the next few years, this great king will probably become famous.
The Huns in the imperial court have been using troops for more than a year or two. Counting all the generals, which one has as rich a record as His Highness the Acting King?
That is to say, he is the king of vassals. Otherwise, he would not be able to pick among the Guannei lords in the world?
After Liu Deng left, Zhao Wengu took advantage of the kitchen to directly reveal the purpose of Liu Deng's trip.
There are eyes everywhere in Honglu Temple, and all the aristocratic families are looking at this place eagerly. It only took a few hours for the news to spread throughout most of Chang'an City.
"What did you say? This boy handed over the debt collection matter to Dou Pengzu!"
Liu Xun, who was only separated by a wall, was of course the first to hear the news. Originally, he wanted to wait and see if there was any improvement in the matter. After all, it cost millions of dollars.
Although his Jiaoxi country is considered wealthy now, since he came to power, he has really been so extravagant and lustful that he has not saved much money. If he takes out so much money at once, even he will be in pain for a long time!
However, the corner of Liu Xuan's mouth twitched when he thought of that guy Dou Pengzu coming to ask for debts in person.
He came to Chang'an City this time on important matters. On the surface, he wanted to move his mother's grave to Jiaoxi Kingdom, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that when he did this, on the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of this. He wanted to be known as a filial son, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to build a relationship with Mrs. Shen.
However, he never expected that something like Liu Deng would happen. When he made a bet with Liu Deng, he made the bet as soon as his mind was hot. It was only after he lost the money that he realized that if this brought him If all the money he received was lost to Liu Deng, he would not even have the money to give gifts...
By the time the money came all the way from Jiaoxi, the day lilies were already cold.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"You ask me what to do, how do I know what to do?"
How did things get to this point?
Liu Xun is really depressed now. Is it possible that he has to show off his old face and go to that bastard Liu Deng to discuss with him so that he can take some time off?
But now it seems that the matter has reached the current stage, and he seems to have no other choice but to do this.
In desperation, he could only wait shamelessly for Liu Deng to come back. Until the last moment, he really didn't want to ask Liu Deng. After all, although the two of them had not met a few times, this dirty thing had already happened. Already buried.
On one side is King Wu Liu Bi, on the other side is the bastard Liu Deng. Do you still need to think about how to choose?
The reason why his Jiaoxi Kingdom has developed so smoothly over the years is inseparable from his good relationship with Liu Bi.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. I'll give this money to my eldest brother. I'll give it all back to you. It's just that there is so much money that this family can't put it down for the time being. Where do you want me to put it for you?" Woolen cloth?"
Liu Deng didn't care whether he was in trouble or not. After arriving at Dou's house, of course he was served with good wine and good food.
Although his marriage to Dou Muyao has not yet been completed, everyone in the Dou family has already regarded him as their son-in-law.
The Queen nodded and agreed to this marriage, and he is developing so well now, and he has a vague attitude of running towards the best prince in the world. Of course, the Dou family will not have any dissatisfaction. Since marrying Liu Deng, they have Even Dou Pengzu, the second generation ancestor, suddenly became popular in Chang'an City.
A person who used to be despised by dogs has now become the target of many wealthy families vying for banquets. Of course Dou Pengzu understands that many people hope that he can introduce Liu Deng to them, but he is not a fool, and he should take this benefit. No one will be refused, but when it comes to doing things, it depends on Liu Deng's own wishes.
"Brother, don't worry about it. I will leave a garrison. There are still some things to be done near Chang'an City. All the money sent to me, brother, just needs to be sent to the military camp. I have discussed this with His Highness the Prince this time. , all the money sent was used to purchase ordnance and food, which can be regarded as a small supplement to the imperial court. What our country urgently needs now is food and ordnance. As for the money, I have enough for the time being!"
He couldn't take the money away, so he sent it directly to the treasury, and then waited for His Highness the Crown Prince to produce ordnance for him, and then raised food on the spot. Since he won the battle this time, the people of Dai Kingdom should also be able to live with it after returning. It’s been a fat year.
What's more important is that Liu Deng captured so many war horses this time. These good horses really need to be carefully raised. The Huns suffered such a big loss this time. It would be strange if they could swallow this sigh of relief.
Liu Deng could foresee now that in only two or three years at most, the Huns would definitely make a comeback. If he didn't seize the time to stock up on more food, I'm afraid that when the Huns invade, the food would have to be eaten by those unscrupulous people. The princes and kings were fetched sky-high prices.
His relationship with Wu King Liu Bi has become tense. Although this was originally part of his plan, as his understanding of the seven vassal states deepens, Liu Deng's fear becomes deeper and deeper. .
Although Liu Deng boasted loudly in the palace, he knew in his heart that Daiguo had many shortcomings. The biggest one was that it was unable to be self-sufficient in food.
In today's day and age, if someone chokes on food, it will be fatal, especially when the Huns may come to grab a piece of it. They must be ready for war at any time. As the saying goes, the troops have not moved. Food and grass go first. Without a batch of food in hand, Liu Deng really felt that he could not sleep well.
The promotion of new grains will take time. The things he brought are still seeds. It will be two years before they can be truly promoted on a large scale.
Although he also knew that those things were the real high-yield crops, and they were the treasures that could completely get rid of famine in the Han Dynasty, and they were also one of the springboards for rapid population growth, but the breeding and promotion of these things took time. , now he is holding a golden rice bowl and can only go and beg for food.
