Originally, he wanted to go to the Ministry of Accounts. After hearing what the waiter said, he went to the Taiping Inn first. Song Cai was calm by nature and not irritable. Unless the matter was urgent, he would never send anyone to rush him.

Arriving at the Taiping Inn, Song Cai was waiting anxiously. When he saw him coming, he immediately invited him into the secret room and explained the reason. It was not a Buddhist magical weapon or a secret book of magical powers, but a mount.

He had previously asked him to pay attention to good mounts, and now he was his owner. Naturally, Song Cai always remembered what his owner ordered and took the lead in handling it. The main business of Taiping Inn was auction and consignment, and at the same time, it also ran Tonghui Bank, all over the country.

There were all semicolons, and Song Cai immediately released the news, asking semicolons everywhere to pay attention to good mounts. As long as there was news, Fei Ge would report it immediately.

It's a coincidence that last time the two of them talked about the sweat-blooded BMW being a national treasure of Dawan and not easy to obtain. This time they got the news about the sweat-blooded BMW. There was a rebellion in Dawan not long ago. The rebels invaded the capital. The old man

The king was killed, and the prince and some of his relatives took advantage of the chaos to escape.

At the beginning of the escape, the team was very large, with nearly a hundred people. On the way eastward, some were killed by the pursuers, and many were stopped by bandits from various places on the way. Dawan was twelve thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and reached the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty.

Only a few people were left in Longyou Road, and the gold and silver they carried when they fled were also looted. The troubled Dawan royal family was now in Tingzhou on Longyou Road, and they were already dead.

He was penniless and strapped for cash, but luckily he took three purebred horses with him when he fled. In desperation, he had no choice but to sell the horses to raise money for expenses.

These troubled royal families knew how valuable the blood-stained horses were, and also knew that people in the Middle East were eager to sell them. Therefore, they did not sell them at random, but entrusted a local business in Tingzhou to conduct an auction. The time was set at noon on the 15th of this month.

.

"Fifteen?" He frowned suddenly, "Today is already thirteen. Tingzhou is far away in the northwest border. It is probably five thousand miles away."

"Tingzhou is located in the northwest Gobi, 5,800 miles away from Chang'an." Song Cai said.

"It's too late," he shook his head and said, "We have a semicolon in Tingzhou. It seems that we can only send a letter to them and entrust them to go and order the photo."

Song Cai shook his head and said, "My master doesn't know something. Tingzhou is far away in the horizon, and we don't have much power there. The sweat-blooded horse is the best among horses and the king of land. There are too many people who want to get them."

After pondering for a moment, he said, "The flying pigeon over there is passing a message. Let me see it."

Song Cai took out the letter and presented it with both hands. He took the letter and read it quickly. Since it was sent back by a flying bird, the paper was very small and written on both sides. The general meaning was what Song Cai said before.

"I can go there in two days," he frowned slightly, "but I can only go there by myself, and I can't bring my entourage."

"My boss, Tingzhou is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. There are many strong men and bandits from various countries in the Western Regions. I'm afraid there will be something wrong with you going alone." Song Cai paused briefly here and then said again, "

As far as I know, there are two White Feather Immortals in Longhu Mountain..."

Before Song Cai could finish speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted him, "Right now, Master Zhang is busy training the new army and can't get away. Besides, I don't want to bother them about this matter."

"My boss, think twice," Song Cai was worried. "You are an important minister of the imperial court and have a rich body. Although you have unique skills, traveling far away alone is still very dangerous."

"It doesn't matter, Tingzhou is the territory of the Tang Dynasty. I can call on the officers and soldiers there." He said casually.

"My boss, as far as I know, the most powerful person in Tingzhou is not the government," Song Cai said.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion," he asked casually, "How much silver do you think you need to buy these three horses?"

"There is no market for such sacred objects as sweat-blooded horses. I feel that each horse is worth at least one hundred thousand taels of silver," Song Cai added immediately after finishing speaking, "It should be more than that. I said at least one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"How much is our semicolon in Tingzhou worth?" asked.

"I

Our business in Tingzhou is not big, if it is converted into silver, it should be around 500,000 taels." Song Cai said.

"If you have any lightweight valuables at the Taiping Inn, bring some with me," he said.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Song Cai no longer tried to dissuade him, "Okay, I'll go and prepare immediately."

"I'll go out and change the horseshoes for the horses," he turned around and stepped forward, "I'll be back in a while."

He quickly left the Taiping Inn. He had lived in Chang'an for many days and was very familiar with Chang'an. He found a blacksmith shop and changed the horseshoes for Mr. Black, and then returned to the Taiping Inn.

Song Cai had already packed his things. When he came back, he immediately handed over a baggage, "My boss, here is a string of one hundred and eight blood spirit beads, which are polished from the blood horn of water rhinoceros. Rhinoceros horn is a national treasure.

It is a treasure that can ward off evil spirits and channel spirits. Wearing it with you can see ghosts and ghosts, and can relieve evil and evil. It is priceless and difficult to estimate. There is also a luminous pearl, which comes from the ribs of a dragon. It is the size of a chicken egg and can shine up to five feet at night. You can see

Hair is also a priceless treasure. There is also a painting of Zhong Kui, a painting of the saint Wu Daozi, and an authentic handwriting of Yan Zhenqing, both of which are extremely rare."

"Okay, I understand." He picked up the things and turned around.

Song Cai hurriedly followed him to see him off.

While walking, he said, "Even if I get all three horses, I can only keep two, and one must be dedicated to the emperor. You continue to pay attention. If there are good mounts with strong legs, you have to help me find them."

Song Cai nodded yes.

He got on his horse and returned to the Yushitai to change into casual clothes and put on his weapons. Then he called Yang Kai to explain a few words. He didn't say where he was going or what he was going to do. He just said he would be out for a few days, seven days in the morning and ten days in the evening.

Will definitely return.

After leaving the Yushitai, I went to the Ministry of Revenue again, summoned the left and right ministers, and delegated power appropriately. I was away for a long time this time, so I had to delegate power to the two deputies. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the people's livelihood across the country, and daily official duties must not be backlogged or delayed.

.

You can't gallop your horse in the city. As soon as you leave the city from the west gate, you immediately shake the reins and urge the horse. The black master has his mane spread and his tail flat, and he moves as fast as flying.

As a high official of the imperial court, he cannot leave Chang'an at will. He is an official of two departments and a first-class official, and he cannot leave his post without permission. However, he also has a reasonable excuse for this trip, which is to find a peerless mount for the emperor. He always keeps it in mind.

Zhang Shan reminded that the emperor is also a human being, and he also has likes and dislikes. If he can successfully bring back three sweaty horses and give them all to Yang Kai and others without giving any to the emperor, the emperor will definitely feel uncomfortable. He must

Give the emperor a horse, even if the emperor doesn't ride it, you must give it to him.

He was thinking about things while galloping on his horse. The emperor's previous approval made him feel very good, which showed that the emperor still trusted him. However, he also knew very well that the emperor's trust also had a great degree of helplessness, because the emperor needed it right now.

For a person like him, there are some things that only he can do.

The most taboo thing in life is to be arrogant based on favor. The more approachable the emperor is, the more he has to lower his profile and be sincere in doing things. Self-denial and devotion to public service are the foundation. In addition, you must try to be respectful and seize the opportunity to express your loyalty. You are the emperor.

The emperor and the minister are ministers. The emperor rewarded him for not kneeling when he saw the emperor. He must have been very uncomfortable deep down in his heart. Everyone was kneeling, but he did not kneel. In order to ease the awkwardness in the emperor's heart, the necessary expressions of loyalty must not be missed.

.

His dislike of officialdom does not mean that he does not understand officialdom. If he wants to annoy his superiors, the most effective way is to become close to his superiors and call him brothers. This is why he tries to avoid direct contact with the emperor. He maintains the necessary distance and shows what subordinates should do.

For his attitude, the emperor rewarded him with the status of a very human minister and treated him as an equal. If a minister does not show some respect, he would be too ignorant and too disrespectful.

With two jobs, he didn't have many opportunities to travel far away. However, he had no intention of traveling around the world this time, and he didn't even care to understand the sentiments of the people. The time was too tight, 5,800 miles, and it took two days and nights to get there.
