"What did the lady write to you in the letter?"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's sigh, Qi Qige blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously:
"It's nothing, it's just that someone is trying to call friends and do useless work!" Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
Regarding Ye Mingsheng's words, Qiqige nodded as if she understood, and then said: "Since the letter has been handed over to you, I will go back to the lady to report my life..." "
"Don't worry, Miss Qiqige, you can go around Fengzhou and see what Fengzhou is like under my rule, Mr. Ye. I think Miss Miaoyi will be very interested in this. In addition, give me a few days." Time, I want to give Miss Miaoyi some of our Fengzhou specialties for you to take back with you." Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
Upon hearing this, Qi Qige hesitated for a moment and felt that Ye Mingsheng's words still made some sense. She immediately nodded and agreed to Ye Mingsheng's suggestion.
After letting Ye Dong settle in Qiqige's residence, Ye Mingsheng thought quietly for a while in the study, and then asked the guard:
"What time is it now?"
"Tell me, my lord, it is the hour of Xu!"
Hearing that it was not too late, Ye Mingsheng immediately ordered: "Get Mr. Gu Sansi Gu!"
"yes!"
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Gu Sansi came out in front of Ye Mingsheng. Although he was fully dressed at this time, his face looked a little sleepy, as if he had just come out of bed... ······
"I've disturbed Mr. Gu's rest!" After looking at Gu Sansi's appearance, Ye Mingsheng said apologetically:
"I went to bed too early. Did something happen to you, sir?" Gu Sansi asked respectfully:
Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice: "I got the news that the reason why Murong Yuliang arrived a little later than scheduled is because he has been in contact with the Cui family. He and Cui Dakai of the Cui family had secret meetings for several days!"
When Gu Sansi heard this, he immediately reacted and said with some seriousness:
"Murong Yuliang wants to use the Cui family to make you throw a trap..."
"It should be like this. Although it is still unclear what the two of them talked about specifically, Cui Dakai plans to set off today and come to our Fengzhou!"
"You are here to support Murong Yuliang!" Gu Sansi frowned and said:
"Yes, this Murong Yuliang can become a Hanlin bachelor. He really has two brushes. He is not given for free. He even played such a trick on me... But if he If you think that bringing in the reinforcements from the Cui family will tie me up, you are totally wrong!" Ye Mingsheng said with a sneer:
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's attitude, Gu Sansi pondered for a moment and warned:
"Sir, I think instead of killing Murong Yuliang as soon as we come up, it would be better to see what he wants to do first..."
"We don't have to give face to Murong Yuliang and the Murong family, but you still have to consider the face of the Cui family carefully. If you want to achieve great things in Liaoyang, the help of the three clans of Liaoyang, especially the Cui family, is indispensable! "
"Since the Cui family wants to stand up for Murong Yuliang, we can also take advantage of the situation and drag the Cui family into trouble. If the relationship between the master and the Cui family is not fully utilized, it will really be a waste!"
After listening to Gu Sansi's suggestion, Ye Mingsheng, who was originally prepared to take drastic measures, gradually calmed down and fell into thinking.
Seeing Ye Mingsheng starting to think, Gu Sansi continued:
"Your Excellency, please wait until Cui Dakai arrives in Fengzhou, see what Murong Yuliang's attitude is, and see how strong the Cui family's support is for Murong Yuliang. Your Excellency, it is not too late to make a decision..." ··”
"Anyway, Murong Yuliang is in Fengzhou and he can't escape. You only need to give an order to bring him here!"
"Okay" Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and adopted Gu Sansi's suggestion.
After talking about Murong Yuliang, Gu Sansi seemed to have remembered something, and immediately reported to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, I have made progress in the Khitan strategy. Through Huo San's relationship, we have established a line with Yelupeng's people and have started the first round of negotiations."
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he immediately became interested and asked:
"What is the outcome of the negotiations? How much are the Khitans willing to pay to redeem these prisoners of war?"
"At the beginning, these Khitans were only willing to spend some, and I rejected all the worthless things like sheep furs. Later, these Khitans were willing to spend a hundred gold bars and three thousand taels of silver. But I also rejected it!”
"After repeated negotiations three days ago, Yelupeng's envoy has raised the price to ten thousand taels of silver, two thousand sheep, and two hundred gold bars!" Gu Sansi answered truthfully, with a hint of pride in his expression.
Hearing Gu Sansi's story, Ye Mingsheng gradually became excited. Although Ye Mingsheng's financial pressure has been reduced a lot due to the development of the land policy, for Ye Mingsheng, who is recruiting troops and developing strength, it is still Money is needed everywhere.
The price offered by Yelu Peng, converted into market price, is already nearly 20,000 taels of silver. For Ye Mingsheng now, it is already a large amount of money. Ye Mingsheng can definitely get this money. Recruiting thousands more troops!
I have to say the one who rides the horse! This stupid Khitan prince is really rich!
To be honest, Ye Mingsheng had no hope that Gu Sansi could get anything back from these Khitan prisoners of war at the beginning, but he never thought that Gu Sansi would give him such a big surprise when he returned to the town... ··········
Just when Ye Mingsheng was calculating in his mind how many soldiers he could recruit after getting the money, Gu Sansi spoke again:
"Sir, although Yelupeng's offer is good, judging from the situation below, we still cannot accept it."
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Yelupeng's offer seemed to him to be very sincere.
Using these Khitan prisoners who were no longer of much use to him in exchange for twenty thousand taels of silver was definitely a hugely profitable deal for Ye Mingsheng.
At that time, he can also use this matter to publicize in Liaoyang, letting everyone know that the Khitans were defeated and paid compensation, which can greatly stimulate the morale of the military and civilians, promote the progress of Fengzhou's population immigration, and accelerate the pace of recruiting troops.
Gu Sansi should understand these benefits. Does he want more?
wrong!
What Gu Sansi wants is not gold and silver!
With a thought in his heart, Xinye Mingsheng realized something and immediately said:
"Gu Sansi, do you want a Khitan war horse?"
