"Xiangjiazhuang will be burned if it is burned, my Beidi Dragon Master is not so shallow-eyed, and money is just something outside his body. If I were to do it with you, I would have one more requirement in addition to the above conditions......"

"My nephew, Xiang Ying has no hope of being implicated by you, and the road to the imperial examination has been completely blocked. That's why I want you to take him as an apprentice, and you don't want me to fool me with the fake tricks of a foreigner's teacher and student, and I want a closed disciple who has passed the apprenticeship and entered the wall of your door, and you won't agree......"

Before Xiao Letian could speak, Xiao Hexin was the first to go crazy, "Are you dreaming......" With a loud roar, the whole person rushed out like a black panther, and the light of the knife flashed and went straight to Xiang Shaolong's neck and slashed it.

Behind Xiao Hexin, two more figures rushed over almost at the same time, one was Wang Huaiyuan and the other was Sima Yun.

Since Xiao Letian began to write books and say in Taibaiding, these three personal guards have already regarded themselves as disciples, and when there are no tasks on weekdays, the three of them always sit together to study the places that they don't understand in "Westward Journey" and take time to ask Xiao Letian for advice. In just a few months, the knowledge of the three of them in Western studies was already one of the few in the Qing Dynasty.

Today, Xiang Shaolong actually dared to snatch the righteous name of the inner disciple, which is unbearable, even if he is not your opponent, he will fight with you.

Xiao Lotian couldn't understand the relationship between master and apprentice in the ancients, and in the ancient law, the relationship between master and apprentice was almost equal to the relationship between father and son. Even the apprentice can inherit the master's property in the law, and he is a very important legal heir in addition to the children.

But this inheritance is not just about property, it's more about prestige. Xiao Letian's current status as a great master of Western studies can already be predicted, so who are his big disciples? What is the ranking? These are all questions, and this is related to the spread of Western studies in the Qing Dynasty in the future.

A saint is not something that ordinary people can be, but there is still hope for being a sub-saint, even if there is no life of a sub-saint, being one of the 72 sages is enough to leave a name in history.

Xiang Shaolong is too arrogant, can't he even be greedy for fame if he can't ask for money? For Xiao Hexin and them, the shame of being tied up just now when they were not as good as others is far inferior to the shame brought about by Xiang Shaolong's rudeness.

"What are you doing here...... Xiao Letian didn't finish speaking, when suddenly the scabbard in his hand disappeared with a whoosh, and he saw four black shadows on the ground, and no one could see how to fight between the clanging bells.

In less than half a minute, I saw three figures flying out upside down, slamming on the river beach, Xiang Shaolong was not struggling with one enemy and three enemies, and instantly gained the upper hand.

"What do you want to do? Crazy! Stop me, sit down......" Xiao Letian was almost dizzy, how could he do it? If you want to do it, it's okay to do it, it's a shame to lose all three fights and one. However, this also reflects from the side, Xiang Shaolong's worth is definitely high enough, and it is definitely a treasure to be able to pull it over.

"Xiao Hexin, what's the matter with the three of you?...... "Xiao Le, the weather wants to whip them. At this time, Xiang Shaolong held the steel knife he had just seized in his hand, put it on the ground and said with a smile, "Maybe what I just said is not very rigorous, my nephew is going to enter Mr. Xiao's door wall, but he will not rob the position of the boss, we martial arts people still pay attention to seniority......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Le genius understands, it turns out that these people have equated their Western studies with Xianxue, and they don't understand what an open university is, let alone what the tutor system is. However, Xiao Letian doesn't have time to wash them now, on the contrary, there are some sect ideas, which are still good for Xiao Letian's subordinates.

"Get up, lean aside and give me a penalty...... Lao Tzu will have tens of thousands of disciples in the future, how can you be careful in the future? Don't embarrass me......

Speaking of which, Xiao Letian clasped his fists with both hands and gave Xiang Shaolong a salute, "From now on, please entrust Master Long for peace in the next place......

Xiang Shaolong didn't speak, but just straightened his clothes, and a thousand beat down, half-kneeling in front of Xiao Letian. Xiang Shaolong, a big tycoon in the north, has officially joined Xiao Letian's camp at this point.

The dark clouds of the day all dispersed, and after a group of people had a simple rest by the stream, the large army escorted Yinliang to continue to march towards Taibaiding, while Xiang Shaolong, Xiao Hexin and other four people surrounded Xiao Letian and grilled fish by the fire.

After a brief conversation, Long Ye sighed that Xiao Hexin had ink in their stomachs, and Xiao Hexin and they admired Long Ye's good skills.

After a few words of greetings, Xiang Shaolong returned to the truth: "Mr. Xiao may not know that there are at least three waves of green forest characters around you now, one is those eagle claw grandchildren raised by the Internal Affairs Government, these people are all Jianghu characters invited by the imperial court, although it is difficult, but obviously they are just spying and have no intention of harming you......"

"The second wave of origins is more mixed, and it is not unified, it should be the family members and generals of some important officials in the court, and occasionally a few people in the rivers and lakes are not top masters. I guess it has something to do with my previous employer......"

"The remaining one is more difficult, it is actually the eagle under Zeng Guoquan, which is the Southern Eagle with the same name as me. During that time, I played him no less than three times, and each time it was a draw. But fortunately, Mr.'s important speech information did not let them spy on ......"

Xiao Lotian was stunned at the time, he never thought that during the time when Xiang Shaolong disappeared, he was actually secretly protecting himself, and by the way, he also helped him spy on intelligence.

What made Xiao Letian even more unexpected was that he had been surrounded by wolves, but don't underestimate the ancients, they just lack modern natural science knowledge and don't understand the direction of history. It doesn't mean that they are stupid, these politicians who are immersed in the power dumping are all red-faced and black-hearted and even kill people without blinking, and their methods of treating political opponents are extremely vicious.

Xiao Letian secretly stroked his chest, and said in his heart Fortunately, fortunately, there is such a group of heroes around him to protect himself, otherwise there would be no bones left that were bitten by this group of wolves. What else is the crosser, the steel knife is still bleeding and dead when it is slashed on the body.

Xiang Shaolong brought not only the intelligence of the spies, but also the news that made Xiao Letian cry and laugh, the old Wang Hanlin who had a stroke in bed is now dying, and those Qingliu Confucians actually secretly conspired to give Xiao Letian a big dismount in Beijing, and they actually wanted to carry the coffin and break through the door.

"I was also stupid when I heard the news, sir, it's right if you don't go back to Beijing, now Wang Shizheng is a living dead, and when you return to Beijing, you will definitely be greeted by a mourning team and a big coffin, they just want to use this way to completely stink your reputation......"

With a snap, the grumpy Wang Huaiyuan smashed a pebble with one punch, "Old Wang Balamb, this is too lacking in virtue, I will go to Beijing now and kill him......" After speaking, he wanted to lead the horse, but Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun held him down.

"Don't make trouble for Mr., if you want to do it, they will have more excuses, and when the time comes, the basin will still be buckled on Mr.'s head, you sit down for me......" The two of them pressed him back fiercely.

Xiao Letian shook his head, "This group of rotten Confucians, that's it, it's like I care a lot about this bit of false fame, I'm just a second devil who returned from overseas, and that's what I want...... Let them make trouble, I have my own way to deal with it, in the face of absolute strength, this disgusting little trick is rubbish at all......"

The meeting around the fire will continue until it is dark, and then everyone will ride back to Yixian County. Xiang Shaolong's joining is really a very big news for Xiao Letian. On the one hand, Xiao Lotian got a top-level bodyguard, and the security issue was guaranteed to the greatest extent, and on the other hand, Xiang Shaolong could get a large number of people in the rivers and lakes, which was very helpful to the establishment of Xiao Letian's intelligence network.

Even Long Ye also offered a clever plan to the coinage plan, which even Xiao Lotian and the old shopkeeper did not expect: "Since Mr. wants to mint silver coins privately, why don't you go to collect scattered silver taels outside the mouth?" The policy of the imperial court has always been that the eight banners of Mongolia rule the world together, and the princes and nobles on the grassland do not have to pay taxes at all, and every year is a symbolic intersection of fur prey......"

"In the hands of the Mongolian herdsmen outside the mouth, there is a large amount of silver that can be collected, and they must be rushing to ask for such a beautiful silver coin as we have minted...... The most important thing is safety, no matter how much silver you exchange, it won't attract the attention of the imperial court, which is much more convenient and safe than our customs clearance......"

A word woke up the dreamer, Xiao Lotian was discussing with Liu Sanbian during this time how to pay the summer tax silver, what is the appropriate ratio of silver coins to silver ingots? There are too many silver coins, and the fire consumption in the county will be less, and the imperial court must be suspicious, but the proportion of silver ingots is too much, and Xiao Lotian is reluctant.

It's a headache, but Long Ye's strategy has helped a lot. The business outside the mouth is familiar with the shopkeeper Fan, as long as a few second shopkeepers are sent to open a business in Zhangjiakou to specialize in this thing, when the time comes, there are secret places on the grassland, and you can start minting coins by setting up a silver furnace, Xiao Letian's financial empire is another tentacle.

When Fan Yao heard this strategy, he slapped his head excitedly, "Confused! confused...... I've been walking outside the mouth for so many years, how can I forget this stubble? I'm going to send someone, no, no, no, I'm going to go myself......"

In the end, Xiao Lotian persuaded the excited old shopkeeper, although the foreign business is important, but the foreign bank in Tianjin is more important, Fan Yao can't leave now.

Under Xiao Letian's arrangement, two second shopkeepers and more than a dozen capable men, under the protection of more than 40 soldiers, went to Zhangjiakou with a start-up capital of more than 100,000 silver coins.

Fan Yao went straight to Tianjin with the greatest manpower and material resources, believing that with the help of Pastor Lewis's letter of introduction, it would be no problem to establish a preliminary cooperative relationship with foreign businessmen, and strive to set up Xiao Letian's foreign firm in May and June.

As for the Wing King Shi Dakai, he actually let Xiao Letian send it out, and now the more than 200 people in Taibai Ding are definitely not enough, and how many of the Wing King's old subordinates can be collected is too critical to Xiao Letian's career.

On the official road of Taihang Mountain, Xiao Letian held the hand of the Wing King and said, "Lord Wang, remember that as long as our people are fine, we are not raising the flag to rebel, and those who are too violent and fanatical must be used with caution." In addition, the secret mission I entrusted you with must not be pretended to others, and the prince must do it himself, this matter is too important, and no one can worry about it except the prince......"

The Wing King patted Xiao Letian on the shoulder, "Good brother, you just wait for my good news." Now I can see that compared to you, what we used to do in Heaven was like a child's play, and failure was purely self-inflicted...... This new road of yours, brother, I will accompany you to the end......"

After speaking, the Winged King took more than a dozen soldiers and urged the horse to run towards the south.
