Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Hussar General
Time flies quickly, it is December in a blink of an eye, the Qinjia banknotes have been gradually improved, and the water conservancy project is still hot. Pen Fun Pavilion continued to build a winter conservatory for the bird clan near www.biquge.info grassland, and the cliff cave was finally completed, and Shu Debao's subordinates had expanded to more than 5,000, and he didn't want to continue to expand and increase the burden.
Wintering is a big deal, Zhuang Zhuang sent a lot of coke to the butterfly demon clan to help them survive the winter, and Rui Rui also paid for her clan to build a large number of double-layer beehives to protect them from the cold. The hunting party stopped sweeping, and the snowy mountain began to adjust its garrison and withdraw all its men and birds.
The cement road leading to the sugarcane forest is still not watered all the way, 8,000 horse spirits are the vanguard, 100,000 cattle are the rear team, and 500 Yizi team and 3,000 Xincheng people are going to cut down all the sugarcane forests under the leadership of Yikang.
The team that transported sand and gravel to the mountains also made a lot of money, and all the oxen and horse-drawn carts were replaced by new civilian carts produced in Xincheng. They used paper money to settle the bill, and the members of the chamber of commerce exchanged paper money from them at a price higher than one percent of the paper money, and then used the paper money to buy sugar, milk powder, Qinjia flour, Qinjia rice, Qinjia corn flour, condiments and other profiteering commodities, and each car had to earn three times the profit.
The squires and big families of Fengxian County couldn't stand it, and they couldn't stand it anymore when they saw the completely shameless approach of the Jinsha City Chamber of Commerce, and the gold and silver cars were going back and forth. One day in early December, they openly gathered a crowd at the county office to petition for the county keeper to come forward to stop the Sands Cotai Chamber of Commerce, despite Li Siran's official authority.
Li Siran was busy studying simplified characters, and was very annoyed by their way of resisting the official authority and law, and ordered the officials to beat them away with sticks on the spot, and even his own brother who was mixed in the crowd was beaten on the head and bleeding.
These people didn't want to leave after being beaten, so they gathered in Mingyueju, the newly opened largest restaurant in Fengxian City, to discuss countermeasures. A group of people took the entire second floor down and discussed how to get the Sands Cotai Chamber of Commerce to do some business. When the shopkeeper came up to report the name of the dish, he had an extra mouth: "You can try to find Niu Nan, my restaurant is the wine shop that Niu Nan used to sell to me." He's got a lot of contact with Xincheng, so you should be able to get some things out of him for help, right?"
Li Siran's sibling, Li Siwen immediately asked his subordinates to reward the shopkeeper with a gold and asked where Niu Nan lived. It turned out that Niu Nan had disappeared after he didn't run a wine shop, and the shopkeeper of Mingyueju bought Niu Nan's industry, of course, he knew. Niu Nan has now purchased land outside Jinsha City, has built a large manor, and has countless families with their own convoys and horses.
After finding out Niu Nan's address, the thirty-six township gentry ate the banquet, and went to buy gifts in a hurry, and met at the West Gate tomorrow morning to visit Niu Nan, a wine dealer.
The next day, they waited in a long convoy and finally found Niu Nan at his new home. Niu Nan has been notified by the Qin family that the immortal is drunk and can't leave. The Qin family will let him act as an agent for new ale wine and fruit wine, although the price is not as high as that of the immortal drunk, but these two kinds of wine are important in terms of sales, and large sales require a large amount of transportation, so Niu Nan raised so many families and purchased a fleet of horses.
More than 200 people in 36 carriages came outside the manor, and Niu Nan summoned 500 people to take up a position to deal with it in person. Li Siwen, who was far away, said to his subordinates: "This cow man is still reasonable, and he put on such a big pomp to welcome us!" ”
There were still 300 steps away from the manor, and I heard Niu Nan's family shouting: "Stop, what does it mean?"
Li Siwen shouted from afar: "Brother Niu, I'm Li Siwen! He shouted alone, and he couldn't hear it on the other side, and the house slaves shouted together, and finally they all shouted like this, Li Siwen's face was uncomfortable. Niu Nan finally heard it, and by the way, he asked the family members to collect their weapons and put them in a welcome formation, the younger brother of the county guard still has to give face, and the Li family still has to give face, so many people have come out to welcome by the way.
Niu Nan's manor is really magnificent, the bricks are red red bricks, the tiles are glazed tiles, the ground is watered with concrete, the carved beams are painted, and the cornices are on the walls. This nouveau riche who has only been doing business with Qinjia New Town for a year is now a herd of cattle and horses with 100 acres of grassland. He didn't buy fertile land, because he didn't need to farm, and the 100 acres of grassland were sprinkled with Qin family grass seeds for cattle and horses.
Although the squires could not show their disdain, the polite Wagyu Niu Nan presented them with a gift list, and the Niu Nan invited them into the largest courtyard, put ginger tea, and instructed the kitchen to make lunch with Qin family spices to entertain the distinguished guests. The squire led by Li Siwen felt a lot better, and he told the reason for coming during the conversation.
Niu Nan decided that he had to take the wax paper, write a text message with a pencil, and the flying pigeon sent a message to ask Qingshi. The squires received no reply, and after lunch they made an appointment to come back three days later, and they left the manor and came to the official road, but they could not get through.
In the distance, a large group of cavalry with flags to open the way, with a long convoy with no tail in sight, appeared on the concrete official road. The cavalry was flying the flag and carrying such a long convoy, of course, it was not to exterminate the Qinjia New Town, and there was only one explanation. It is the imperial court, and the imperial court must be doing some big business with the Qin family, and the big one cannot afford to be escorted by the elite of the iron cavalry. Who dares to stand in the way? Blocking the front is a dead word, and if you are not killed, you will be trampled to death.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and Li Siwen recognized that the leading chariot was the deputy general of the Fengxian battalion, and he didn't dare to inquire about the situation, so he could only continue to stop on the side of the road and wait for the convoy to pass. The speed of the convoy was very fast, and it took half an hour to pass through, and the squires estimated that it should be three thousand iron horsemen in the lead, five thousand carts in the middle, and two thousand iron horses in the back. What kind of business is this? With so many convoys of elite riders, can they still have business to do? With a nervous mood, everyone continued on the road, seeing that they were about to arrive at Fengxian City, and the city gate was wide open, and the soldiers lined up Li Siran stood outside the city as if waiting for some big man.
Li Siwen didn't want to pay attention to his bastard brother, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity and got out of the car and walked over to inquire. Li Siran told him, stand farther away in a proper manner, and soon there will be a Yulin army passing, the old man of the Bai family is here, and he of our Li family looks like an eyesore, be careful to beat you half to death. Li Siwen remembered that he had to deal with Xincheng's encounter with the Bai family's thugs, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately notified the squires to stand far away, and hid his carriage in the middle of the convoy and waited quietly for the old man of the Bai family to pass first.
Half an hour later, the sound of hurried horses' hooves broke the peace, and then the pennant was unfurled, and the Yulin army with armor and white feathers appeared outside the city gate. After about three thousand horses, a boxcar with eight horses drawn by the Forbidden Palace passed with the Qincha sign, and then the six horses of the old man of the Bai family with the hussar general and the white banner were inserted, followed by dozens of four-horse horse-drawn boxcars, and finally the Zhenxi general Bai Wuregret stood on the chariot with four hundred chariots and two thousand ironclad elite horses.
Li Siwen saw it clearly, Bai Wuregret nodded at Li Siran when he passed, thinking that his bastard brother still has merit, and even the people of the Bai family respect him! When he was about to talk to his brother again, Li Siran shouted at him to get out of here quickly, and Li Siwen said goodbye to the squires and went home.
In the hussar general's car, the old man of the Bai family was already very haggard. He was able to get here in less than half a year, and he was already filled with ginseng soup, and the corn paste was full, and he couldn't stand the fatigue of the carriage and horses, but in order to rush to the new city to take things that increased his life, he could only fight. In the camp of Fengxian County, he has rested for half a day, checked the cause of his grandfather's death Bai Qiugan, he is proud of his grandfather who is so tough, and has completed all the exercises of the last three layers of the White Tiger Divine Skill, it is very rare to eat a bowl of chicken and mushroom soup, and he wants to go to Jinsha City to rest before dark.
When the imperial court's commercial convoy arrived at Jinsha City, they could already see Shigang Village, but they continued to advance to Xincheng without stopping, even if they walked at night, they had to rush to Xincheng to rest again.
The Qin family has already received the flying pigeon from the shop in Fengxian County, and the three Qingsong brothers rushed to Jinsha City to meet the old man of the Bai family with Yannian Dan under the escort of the airlift team, and Manniu, Zhuzi, and Bai Ping rushed to Xincheng with the airlift team to deliver the seeds. Can't let Bai Ping go directly to Jinsha City, Bai Ping is too eye-catching, it is estimated that many people in the capital know him, and for the time being, he doesn't want the whole world to know that Bai Ping has joined Xincheng and separated from the family, Xincheng is too fat.
The three Qingsong brothers took the airlift team to the outside of Jinsha City and walked into the city, and went straight to the Terracotta Division where the Yulin Army was stationed.
Qing Song gave him a look, Liang Pi ran out and took Qing Song and them to change their clothes, and the three brothers followed Liang Pi into the Soldiers and Horses Division with gifts and came to the door of the old man's bedroom of the Bai family. Liangpi said to the general standing at the door: "I have brought some new city specialties here, which are a bit valuable, so I took three veterans to personally serve them to the hussar general, you can help me spread the news!
The general really went to report it, and the old man knew that it must be someone from the new city who was coming, and he was happy to let people freshen up, and it was reported that people came to the hall to watch the seats.
The old man of the Bai family is really tired, and he is supported by someone in the few steps from the bedroom to the hall. Seeing the old man coming, the four of them quickly stood up. He did not salute the military but said with the bow of the elders: "Qin family, Qin Qingsong, Qin Qingshan, Qin Qingshi, Qingshi Yizi Liangpi, meet my uncle and uncle!"
The old general excitedly helped Qin Qingsong up with both hands and said, "After a few generations, we finally met!"
After some greetings, Qin Qingsong offered the Longevity Pill, and after the old general took it, he used Tai Chi True Qi to help comb it, all the way to the blackened hair, eyebrows, and beard all faded, and the snow-white beard slowly turned blue with the help of the pill and Tai Chi True Qi, and the skin color and wrinkles also changed.
The soldiers and the officers who accompanied them guarded the door and the surroundings of the hall, and even the food deliverers were blocked back. An hour later, the old general's strong laughter shook and the roof fell tiles.
The old man of the Bai family told Qin Qingsong that his name was Bai Fu, this was because his father felt that he should be blessed, his grandfather went to trouble with his ancestor, and his father, who was only a few years old, was raised by the family, and when he gave birth to the old general, he was named Fu'er. There are only ten words missing, which shows the Bai family's belligerent domineering, but their family's military book was lost in the fire, and the Bai family could only rely on word of mouth to teach the art of war.
