The second master of Zuo personally went to several counties to collect grain, and in less than ten days, he got together enough for twenty boats of rice and grain, this time even Cui Jiong had to admit that the second master of Zuo was really a genius in this regard, if he was not too eager for quick success, he could really say a few words to Zhao You for the Zuo family, and the matter of preparing grain and grass would be handed over to the Zuo family in the future.

But looking at the virtue of the second master Zuo, he refused to even tell him the origin of those ships, if the Zuo family got this benefit in the future, I don't know what kind of arrogance it would become.

However, after all, the second master of the left grew up in the mansion, and he would observe words and emotions since he was a child, and when he saw Cui Jiong's words insincerely, he guessed that Cui Jiong must be jealous of his merits, Zhao You is far away in the northwest, and there is still this Cui Jiong between him and Zhao You, so for a while, he can't offend Cui Jiong thoroughly.

Cui Jiong is a scholar, but there are few scholars who don't like petty feelings, so the second master on the left procured two Yangzhou thin horses and sent them to Cui Jiong.

Cui Jiong immediately refused, and said a lot of reasoning, the second old man on the left smiled, and withdrew under the pretext that there was something urgent.

The next day, Cui Jiong asked someone to send back a thin horse, saying that the other was too weak, and he was afraid that after she was sent back, she would be embarrassed by the people who raised her, so he stayed for the time being.

The second old man on the left smiled and leaned back together, and went to the Qinhuai River to see that eight of the ten flower boats were entertained by Jiangnan talents.

This Cui Jiongke is really sour, he clearly fell in love with one of them, but he still has to pretend to be a rescuer, which is really hypocritical.

But the next thing really went well, Cui Jiong wrote a letter to Zhao You in person, praising the second master Zuo for judging the situation and being shrewd and capable.

And the second master on the left, seeing with his own eyes forty big boats are full, the boatmen are all strong and strong, from the wind and frost on the face can be seen, these are people who have been on the water for many years, speaking of the few water villages on the river, these boatmen laughed, and said: "Although we and they are not brothers, but they are also old acquaintances, not to mention forty boats of grain, even forty boats of salt, they will not move." ”

The second master of the left is very satisfied, and those people in the Cao Gang are nothing more than that, no wonder there are so many ships, it sounds like they are specially transporting salt to the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

He paid attention, so he deliberately tried to tempt, and soon affirmed that every time these people transported goods from Beizhili, they would take a detour to Yangzhou to transport salt to the salt merchants. The salt merchants used their ships to transport salt, which was far more suitable than raising their own boats to support people, and the road was not smooth in recent years, and the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Dong family, all of them coincidentally sold a lot of ships and hired their ships instead.

The second master of the left was completely relieved, Cui Jiong, a stupid man, actually went to Yangzhou to find salt merchants to borrow boats, and the salt merchants no longer needed their own boats, but fortunately, they were lucky to meet these people.

Cui Jiong also went back with the thin horse sent by the second master on the left, and the dozen or so people who came with Cui Jiong, four of them followed Cui Jiong, and the others got on other ships, they were not manpowered, and they could not supervise all the ships, so they could only perform their duties according to the layout of the head, middle and tail.

The second master of the left personally sent Cui Jiong away with forty boats, looking at the mighty fleet of 10,000 boats, the second master of the left took a deep breath, only to feel that the river breeze was sweet.

He looked up at the blue sky, and a sense of pride arose. In troubled times, the important thing is to recognize the position and strike first. If the Zuo family follows the orders of the ancestors, then they can only watch other families get ahead, and if they are like their eldest brother, it will be even worse, and then they will only have the share of mermaids.

Fortunately, the Zuo family still has him, and he finally led the Zuo family on a broad road.

The second old man on the left was excited, he warned himself that he could not be frivolous, and there was a stronger task waiting for him next, with these forty boats of grain, Zhao You would definitely hand over the envoy who raised military rations in Jiangnan to him.

This is a fat shortage of fat shortages at all times.

Looking at the whole Jiangnan, who else but him can make this errand so beautiful?

Therefore, the messenger must be his.

This is really a good messenger, not only now there is money to earn, but when Zhao You ascends the throne in the future, he is the minister of the humerus, no matter how hard he works, even if he can't be a household official, he can also get a household servant.

At that time, he would not take Qin Xuan, who was struggling in the Qingshui Yamen, in his eyes. The Zuo family came out of Qin Xuan, the son-in-law who became Xiao Jiuqing, and his stupid pig-like eldest brother also became stubborn, look at the time to change the dynasty, who else will the Zuo family rely on?

The second old man on the left stroked his beard, looking at the distant shadow of the lonely sail with unfinished eyes, imagining a better future, and his future was as bright and shining as the river covered with sunshine.

At this moment, a dull voice came from behind him: "Second Master Zuo, the river wind is too strong, you better go back." ”

The second old man on the left's beautiful imagination was interrupted by force, he frowned impatiently, this voice was very unfamiliar, not like his entourage.

He turned around and saw two people standing behind him at some point, both with bronzed skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was taken aback, looked around, and found that his entourage was all gone.

"Who are you?" shouted the second old man left, but there was no confidence in his voice.

One of them smiled and said: "What kind of people can we be, of course we are the ones who came to arrest you, I have been blowing the river breeze with you for a long time, I have been waiting for a long time, second master, don't rub it in, hurry up and follow us." ”

"Are you ......" The second old man of Zuo held on to keep his feet from weak, he really met a robber, robbers, there were robbers in Jinling? Aren't the robbers all on the river? When did they go ashore?

......

When Qin Jue received Zhan Erpeng's letter, the forty boats of grain, along with Cui Jiong and his beauties, had already gone to Hubei in the wind and waves.

When Qin Hao went home from the palace, he encountered a startled horse and knocked over his official sedan chair, Qin Hao's leg was also broken, and in desperation, he had to take sick leave.

Within a few days, more than 20 children in the Qin family's houses who had not yet tied their hair, together with young female dependents, went out of the city one after another, some boarded the ship from Tongzhou, and some boarded the ship from Tianjin Wei, and went to Anhui separately.

After Qin Hao arranged the affairs of each room on the kang, he heard a news that he didn't want to hear.

Qin Ye wants to officially become a monk in Guangji Temple.

The Great Zhou Dynasty emphasizes Buddhism, and it is not a new thing for the children of the family to become monks, and it is also a blessing to be able to worship high monks as teachers and devote themselves to practice.

But Qin Xuan knew in his heart that Qin Ye didn't see through the red dust, nor did he want to practice hard, he was a monk at this time, I was afraid that he didn't want to face the Ye family.

If Zhao Yi regains the dragon throne, the Ye family will be the eldest princess, but in the genealogy of the Qin family, the Ye family is already a dead person. Of course, it is not difficult for the royal family to rewrite this matter, but it is only Qin Ye who is caught in it.

Since the Ye family is not Qin Ye's deceased wife, Zhao Yi will recognize his nephew and be grateful to the Qin family for their righteousness, but he will not let the Ye family and Qin Ye renew their relationship as husband and wife.
