The best way for men to enhance their relationship is between banquets and banquets.

Zhang Guang was a little reserved at first, but after drinking a few glasses of wine, this restraint immediately disappeared and was replaced by enthusiasm.

After all, when you drink a jar of strong liquor, you will most likely lose some of your etiquette, justice and integrity.

"Junhou, Zhang Guang will follow you in the future. I hope Junhou will not dislike you."

"How can you dislike it? I sweep the couch to welcome you."

The two drank the wine bottle after bottle, as if they were dying. Even Liu Yong, who was beside Wang Sheng, had a look of worry on his face.

"Master, you can drink this wine, but drinking too much will not be good for your health. I think you should not drink so much wine."

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Sheng waved his hand gently.

Although he drank a lot, Zhang Guang drank even more.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The whole study was filled with the smell of strong alcohol, and after drinking almost the third bottle, Zhang Guang finally couldn't drink any more and fell to the ground drunk.

When it comes to drinking, he is as good as anyone else.

After all, in later generations, he would drink a lot of this wine.

"Liu Yong, send General Zhang to the guest room area for safe accommodation."

"promise."

Although Wang Sheng's face was red with drunkenness, he spoke and behaved in an orderly manner, which proved that although his master drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk.

After drinking so much strong alcohol, the master is still not drunk, so his alcohol capacity is really strong.

Even this general who is marching and fighting has never drank from the king. It seems that his worries are in vain.

Liu Yong secretly blamed himself on the side.

"Come here, prepare some sobering soup."

Not drunk is not drunk, but it is impossible to say that he is not drunk. Wang Sheng's head is now dizzy, and his head is as heavy as a mountain.

What Wang Sheng wants most now is a bed, where he can lie down and have a good sleep.

However, now is not the time for sleep.

Sitting back again, Wang Sheng rubbed his temples to make himself more energetic.

On the other side, Zhang Guang, who was already drunk, was sent to the guest room and placed on the bed. When everyone left, the eyes of Zhang Guang, who was originally drunk, suddenly opened.

After drinking nearly a jar of strong wine, it is impossible to say that Zhang Guang is not drunk, but it is also nonsense to say that he is drunk.

Zhang Guang was famous for his drinking in the army.

but...

Marquis Guangyuan's drinking capacity still shocked him a little.

I originally thought that a few glasses of wine would make Marquis Guangyuan drunk, but I didn't expect that Marquis Guangyuan would not get drunk after drinking almost a jar of wine.

If he drinks any more, he risks getting drunk.

As the saying goes, one can see people's hearts when they are drunk. It would be terrible if he said some nonsense while drunk, so Zhang Guang just pretended to be drunk.

Now it's finally out.

This time, with the help of Marquis Guangyuan, I think I can be like Zhang Hong.

Kill the king of Qi.

This is a great achievement.

By then, he can also have the title of marquis.

Soldiers and titles are all obtained on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guang became a little ambitious.

.......

In the study, Wang Sheng drank some sobering soup and finally sobered up a lot.

Of course, it is still difficult to completely get rid of that drunken stupor.

The efficiency of reading books is naturally much lower.

However, the efficiency of reading was extremely low, but Wang Sheng was generally quite happy.

After all, being able to capture Zhang Guang will be very beneficial to him in the future.

After drinking so much wine, drinking hangover soup, and vomiting a lot of wine, I felt a little hungry.

Just when Wang Sheng was considering whether to go to dinner first, Liu Yong walked into the study again.

Generally speaking, when Liu Yong comes into the study, it's because he has something important to do.

Wang Sheng also asked directly.

"what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the leader of the army, Hua Heng, would like to see you."

Hua Heng?

Wang Sheng was very surprised that Hua Heng would come to see him.

You know, the last time Hua Heng came to see him, Wang Sheng's attitude said it all.

Although Hua Heng is not a very smart person, he is still relatively smart. Couldn't he see this?

Wang Sheng didn’t believe it.

But even so, Hua Heng still came to see him, which is worth thinking about.

"Bring Hua Heng to the living room."

This study room is where Wang Sheng meets his own people, and the living room is where he really entertains guests.

When Hua Heng comes here this time, I wonder what tricks he will come up with?

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason, so Wang Sheng had no choice but to bury his doubts in his heart.

After meeting Hua Heng, all this will naturally become clear.

In the living room, Hua Heng looked very calm, which was completely different from the first time he came. Speaking of which, Hua Heng was also a handsome guy.

At this time, Hua Heng was wearing a snow-white brocade robe with a very drapey feel. He wore a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist. There was only a piece of black jade with excellent quality hanging on it. The shape seemed rough but

Simple and melancholy.

Especially that face, with clear features like a sculpture, and an angular face that is extremely handsome.

No wonder Princess Rongyang despises Hua Heng, but she always plans for Hua Heng.

There is also the possibility of marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, or following a dog, but I'm afraid Hua Heng's appearance also plays a big role in it.

"Leading Army, hahaha, how come you have time to come to my Jingu Garden today?"

When he arrived at the waiting room and saw Hua Heng, Wang Sheng came forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"Junhou."

Hua Heng bowed to Wang Sheng.

"I came here this time because I have something important to do."

Hua Heng did not engage in Tai Chi with Wang Sheng, but went straight to the point.

Important matter?

Hua Heng's words made Wang Sheng stunned for a moment.

"I wonder what's important?"

"this..."

Hua Heng glanced at Liu Yong behind Wang Sheng, and then at the maid serving in the waiting room. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

There are too many people here.

What important matter needs to be kept secret?

Wang Sheng frowned slightly.

"Forget it, Liu Yong, please let everyone in the living room disperse. I'm afraid the leader of the army has something important to discuss with me."

"promise."

Although Hua Heng was the leader of the army, he was not tall. When he entered the house, he was searched and there was no murder weapon on him.

In this way, the safety of the Lord naturally does not need to be considered too much.

Liu Yong moved the servants waiting in the living room out and stood guard at the door.

"Commander, how about it? Can we talk about it now?"

Hua Heng nodded lightly.

"Jun Hou, the reason why I came here again is to ask if there are any other tricks in this new land tax?"

Other tricks?

Wang Sheng's heart tightened, thinking that Hua Heng had seen something.

"I'm afraid only Your Majesty knows if there are any other tricks. At least, I don't know about it."

"really do not know?"

Hua Heng looked at Wang Sheng suspiciously.

Wang Sheng's head shook like a rattle.

"I really don't know about this matter."

Wang Sheng didn't look like he was lying.

certainly...

It doesn't look like lying on the surface, and it doesn't mean that Marquis Guangyuan didn't lie.

Even if a person like Guang Yuanhou is lying, ordinary people cannot tell.

"Yesterday, His Majesty summoned me to explain the new land tax. The military situation in Yizhou made His Majesty anxious, and he also urged me to collect the tax quickly..."

Hua Heng recounted what happened when he was summoned by the emperor yesterday.

After listening, Wang Sheng probably understood the purpose of Hua Heng's trip.

The affairs in Yizhou and the King of Qi in Yingchuan made the emperor feel that time was a little tight.

And war requires money, and the emperor is particularly short of money now.

Therefore, the emperor was eager to get the money from this new land tax.

The emperor was eager to get the tax money, which made the central leader Hua Heng suffer.

The task of collecting taxes was not that easy originally, but now the time has been shortened. This was not an easy task in the first place, and it is even more impossible to reach the emperor's pace.

"This new land taxation matter is indeed not easy, but it is hard work to lead the way."

"Junhou."

Hua Heng looked at Wang Sheng closely and said, "I said so much, not just because I want you to be a prince."

Wang Sheng's eyes flashed, of course he knew that what Hua Heng wanted was not what he said.

But it was impossible for him to say anything else.

Hua Heng felt that time was tight and wanted him to speak in front of the emperor?

but...

How could Wang Sheng speak for him in front of the emperor?

Now the emperor is in urgent need of money. If Wang Sheng continues to say that this matter is impossible, isn't this going to bring trouble on the emperor?

You, Hua Heng, have an urgent matter right now, but I, Wang Sheng, am not a philanthropist!

Therefore, if the Hua Heng matter can be dealt with perfunctorily, it will be perfunctory.

"But, apart from these words, what else can I say?"

"The prince is an important minister beside your majesty. Your majesty always listens to the prince's advice. As long as the prince explains your current predicament, your majesty will probably give me a few more days of grace."

Do you really want to give advice to the emperor?

Wang Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head decisively.

My relationship with you, Hua Heng, is not that good yet.

"Forgive me that I can't help you with this matter."

Hua Heng was not surprised at all by Wang Sheng's actions.

If it were him, he wouldn't speak for Wang Sheng.

Regarding this, Hua Heng did not resent Wang Sheng. When he came to Jingu Garden, he was 100% confident in winning Wang Sheng.

"Your Majesty, don't refuse in a hurry."

Seeing Hua Heng's confident look, Wang Sheng naturally knew that Hua Heng had a back-up plan.

I'm afraid this backhand was also the reason why Hua Heng came again even though he knew he would refuse.

"What do you mean by leading the army?"

If you want to give benefits, you must first list the benefits and I will consider them later.

In fact, politics is no different from shopping malls. They are all transactions, and everything can be traded.

One difference is that fights in shopping malls are bloodless, but political fights may cost the lives of the entire family.

"How did you raise the money and food for your expedition to Wei County this time?"

Money and food for the expedition?

Wang Sheng smiled softly and said: "Although we haven't raised all the money and food yet, we have already collected more than half of it."

Wang Sheng recruited many children from aristocratic families during his expedition to Wei County this time. Naturally, these children from aristocratic families had to pay some price for being able to enter the military camp for the expedition against Wei County.

These prices are the money and food Wang Sheng wants to get.

It was a perfect deal to exchange money and food for the fame of my son-in-law.

Wang Sheng's answer made Hua Heng stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He originally thought that Wang Sheng was worried about this matter of money and food, but unexpectedly it was not the case.

As a result, the power of his trump card will be greatly reduced.

"Since we have raised most of it, how can you raise the remaining half?"

It is a bit strange that Hua Heng is so concerned about raising money and food for his expedition.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

What kind of medicine is sold in this Huaheng gourd?

Wang Sheng glanced at Hua Heng and said: "There is still more than a month left for the remaining half of the grain. If we slowly raise it, we can always raise it completely."

"That's it!"

Now, Hua Heng is in a dilemma.

If he wants to tell him about his bribery to Wang Sheng, but Wang Sheng refuses to accept his bribe and backhandedly reports it to the emperor, what should he do?

Isn't this just losing your wife and losing your troops?

By then, the purpose of alleviating time has not been achieved, and instead, one's own life is in danger.

Hua Heng wouldn’t do such a thing!

"Zhong Lingjun has nothing else to say?"

It seems that Hua Heng was silent for a long time, and Wang Sheng couldn't help but speak.

this...

Hua Heng thought for a while and finally made up his mind.

Marquis Guangyuan has almost raised his military expenses, but no one has too much money.

Moreover, even if Marquis Guangyuan made a report to the emperor, he would just have to deny it.

The worst thing is, this job is lost.

If you don't get some grace from the emperor, you might as well throw away this job!

After understanding this, Hua Heng also spoke directly.

"Jun Hou, to be honest, I came here this time to make a deal with you."

trade?

Wang Sheng had already expected it.

And since it is so secretive, this transaction is very interesting.

"Central leader, please tell me."

"The Lord knows that I am responsible for the new land tax, and there are many loopholes that can be exploited. The Lord is sitting in the Golden Valley Garden, and ordinary money is naturally looked down upon. But, what if it is ten thousand gold? Ten thousand gold, Lord

Isn’t it so hard to look at it?”

Ten thousand gold?

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up.

This ten thousand gold is ten thousand yuan, which is one hundred million yuan.

This is certainly not a small number.

Wang Sheng owns the Golden Valley Garden, and he is usually not short of money, but if he wants to do something big, the accumulation of the Golden Valley Garden is still not enough.

The emperor was short of money, so how could Wang Sheng be short of money?

The dead soldiers raised in Mangshan Villa and the thousands of soldiers from Wanzhou County in Hongnong County are all human beings and they all need to eat.

Fortunately, the prefecture and county soldiers in Hongnong County are tasked with suppressing bandits, so they don't have to pay for the food and salary.

However, as long as Wang Sheng wants to raise some soldiers privately, he will have no money.

In troubled times, only the barrel of a gun provides the most sense of security.

To have a gun, you must first have money.

In a short period of time, Wang Sheng's eyes changed several times.

And Wang Sheng's appearance was naturally noticed by Hua Heng.

really...

Even the Marquis of Guangyuan couldn't hold back when he saw this wealth of ten thousand gold.

Wang Sheng's appearance also gave Hua Heng a lot of confidence.

"This ten thousand gold is a gift. The prince only needs to express his power to His Majesty. In order to extend the grace period for ten more days, in just ten days, this ten thousand gold will be delivered to the prince."

Ten days.

Ten thousand gold.

Wang Sheng's eyes flickered. After thinking for a moment, Wang Sheng curled his lips and nodded heavily.

"I promise you."
