As soon as he heard about the opening of a racecourse, Qi Yu couldn't help but think of the horseshoes Qi Jing had asked Qiongzhou for.
At that time, I was busy with the Battle of Luzon, which was organized by my daughter Xiaotong. Now I suddenly remembered, why not take the opportunity to ask about the follow-up?
So, Qi Yu smiled and asked: "Master Zhao, I, Qiongzhou, have provided you with tens of thousands of horseshoes from Mobei for free before. With such a large amount, can your Guan army use it up?"
"Haha, I can only say that it is barely enough. Maybe in the near future, I will ask for another batch as a backup." Zhao Mingyu did not hide it and answered truthfully.
oh?
Seems very powerful?
Qi Yu's eyelids twitched and he asked again: "Let me tell you, how many horses does your Mobei Army have now?"
Zhao Mingyu made a rough summary and replied: "In the beginning, General Qi once used cross-breeding between foreign horse breeds and our Chinese native horses to increase reproduction, and the effect was very good. Based on this experience, he sent several small teams to remote areas. I also gained a lot from going overseas to conquer horses. Adding the two together, I currently have more than 8,000 horses of various sizes..."
More than eight thousand horses?
There are quite a few of them~~
Hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but he quickly returned to his normal state.
After coming to his senses, he asked about Zhao Mingyu's real motive for coming here. As for the reason he just said for passing by, he didn't believe it at all.
"Mr. Zhao, we are good friends who have known each other for many years. If you have any ideas, it's best to say it in person. If you keep it secretive, it will seem too out-of-the-box."
Zhao Mingyu was startled when he heard this. He never expected that Qi Yu would ask so directly, without even the slightest hint of tact.
However, since they have made their words clear, it is best for you to answer truthfully. If you go around and around again, it will really look unkind.
Thinking of this, he went straight to the point: "To be honest with Mr. Qi, Zhao came here on the orders of General Qi to ask for three things from you. I hope that you will remember the past kindness and grant it." ."
Oh, something happened indeed!
And, there’s more than one.
Qi Yu nodded, smiled, spread his hands and said, "Sir Zhao, what are the three things?"
Zhao Mingyu put down the tea cup in his hand and said seriously: "The first thing is that my adopted son Hong Tao, General Qi, is currently in Qiongzhou, your hometown. My idea is to take advantage of this trip to take him back to Mobei and ask him to Accept the general again

The military couple's careful cultivation enabled them to develop talents. "
What? Looking for someone from me?
Hearing these words, Qi Yu couldn't help but think of the message sent by Qi Jing's wife Fang Ruojiao to ask for her son when he was still reporting on his duties in the capital.
At that time, I heard it in confusion and couldn't understand its meaning, but I never thought that this was actually the case.
Normally, I would definitely not refuse something like this, but the problem is, that child is not here!
Maybe some people have said that Qi Dalang's conclusion is too arbitrary, right?
actually not.
He felt that as Qi Jing's adopted son, the child must know the relationship between the two families. If he really came to Qiong, he would definitely come to him as soon as possible so that he could find a good place to live.
This is human nature. As long as you are not a fool, you will not choose to avoid yourself and find another way out.
Therefore, Qi Yu can basically conclude that this son should not be in Qiongzhou currently.
Therefore, he said: "I disappoint Mr. Zhao. To be honest, Qi has never seen this child. You just said that he is now wandering around Qiongzhou. I think it is unlikely. If he really When you come here, why don’t you come and pay homage to me, an elder?”
Zhao Mingyu didn't believe it, and laughed and said, "Could it be that Master Qi saw that this child was so cute, so he hid him?"
"How is this possible? Qi is a humble gentleman, how could he do something like that to win someone's love?"
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course!" Qi Yu's face turned serious and he said solemnly: "You said, I haven't even seen that child, so how can I say that I like him? Besides, just because of my iron-clad relationship with Qi Jing, How could he occupy his son?"
After hearing this, Zhao Mingyu really believed it.
He knew Qi Yu's character very well. Although this person was very scheming, he would never do that kind of thing to deceive his friends. Since he said it so righteously, it should be true.
As everyone knows, Qi Dalang started to murmur a little at this moment. He always felt that the name Hong Tao was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, which was very strange.
At this time, Zhao Mingyu sighed up to the sky, shook his head and said, "The kid clearly said in the letter that he wanted to come to Qiongzhou to hang out. Could it be that he changed his mind halfway?"
Qi Yu smiled happily and consoled him: "It's easy to know whether he is hanging out in Qiongzhou or not. You just need to go to the house and check the household registration."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yes, simple and convenient. In this way, the doubts in your mind will be eliminated. "
Check household registration?
Well, at least I can feel at ease.
This matter is over.
Qi Yu changed the topic and asked, "What are the other two things you mentioned? Please tell me one by one."
Zhao Mingyu nodded and replied: "The other two things are all requests. The first one is to ask Mr. Qi to help me with some iron tools in Mobei for military needs; the second one is to ask you for some feed for livestock. , for the supply of war horses.”
Ironware, feed?
These two things are both specialties of Qiongzhou!
Especially this feed was developed in less than a year. How did you, Mobei, get the information?
In this regard, Zhao Mingyu explained: "The statement about the feed was obtained from the mouth of Mr. Lu Boxuan, the second deputy minister of the cabinet. He has a high position and cannot talk nonsense, so Zhao judged that this information must be true."
So that’s it.
Before Lu Boxuan joined the cabinet, he had governed southern Guangdong for a long time, and he indeed knew his Qiongzhou well.
However, it is not difficult to see that he still intends to secretly help the Border Army, otherwise, he would not be 'guiding' like this.
Qi Yu suddenly realized, and then said: "Let me tell you, for the two things you want, should I provide you with paid assistance, or should I give them to you for free? You have to make this clear."
"Haha, it's free!" Zhao Mingyu laughed.
Well? Do you want me to give it away for free?
Anyway, since Qi Jing has spoken of this respect, he has to show it, otherwise, can he still be called a close friend?
However, this kind of help must be limited, and he cannot be allowed to ask for unlimited amounts. This is a basic principle.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu said humbly: "The family in Qiongzhou has a small financial background and has not developed for a long time. Although there is some hoarding at present, it is not rich enough and I really don't dare to spend lavishly. Well, I will ask the Chief Secretary to Let’s total it up and see how much we can give away.”
Zhao Mingyu said, "Isn't Mr. Qi too modest? To tell you the truth, since Zhao came to Qiongzhou, he has been collecting information. I browsed a lot of newspapers alone. Passed From what we have heard and seen, it is not difficult to see that Qiongzhou has now entered the ranks of the wealthy, isn't this not rich enough?"
Cough, spit!
You old fox, you actually touched my bottom?
Qi Yu stroked his beard and began to think deeply.
