Chapter 65: Uyghur Visitors

Last year was the seventh year of the Great Song Dynasty and the first year of Jin Tianfu, and the crops in the world were generally not good, because of the drought in the Great Song Dynasty, and because of the military disaster in the Great Liao. However, the local political situation in southern Liaoning is relatively stable, especially in the three prefectures of Fu, Chen, and Kaizhou, because of the large amount of cattle, horses, and iron tools, and the people in power pay attention to farmland and water conservancy, so they have a good year. Since the beginning of spring this year, people from all over the country have been flocking to this area. Fortunately, both the upper administrative order and the lower civil order have been established in the three prefectures of southern Liaoning, and not only do there be a large amount of wasteland in the countryside to accommodate the peasants and herdsmen who flow into the territory, but also a large number of manual laborers are needed in Jinmen, Liaokou and Anpo.

Yang Yingqi has been hiding in the Guanning School to study and teach in the months after the Spring Festival, ignoring anyone who comes to see him for military affairs, and even Lu Kezhong is politely turned away. In the past few months, except for the teachers and students of Guan Ning Academy, only three people have seen him.

The first was Yang Pu, who went to Zhu Xu overnight after the Song envoy ship entered the port.

The second is the Cause Monk of Gushan Temple, who disappeared from the Liaodong Peninsula after meeting Yang Yingqi. A month later, a new Qixia Temple was built near Qingyang Port on the Shandong Peninsula, presided over by the monk Zhengyin. In these years, Emperor Daojun continued to force the disciples of Buddhism to change to Taoism, and the Buddhist temples in the Great Song Dynasty decreased but did not increase. In this context, a new Buddhist temple suddenly appeared, which attracted the attention of monks all over the world.

The third is a Uyghur businessman named Ayimusi. In the past few months, even Zhao Lumin, Liu Jie, Li Xianglong, Lin Ling, these "old customers" can only contact Yang Yingqi through letters, and this Hu businessman who came from thousands of miles and only brought two truckloads of goods actually got Yang Yingqi's favor, and those in the know were surprised when they heard about it.

This scene of Hu Shang seeing Yang Yingqi was later leaked by a mouthy student in Guan Ning Academy.

This student is Lin Ling's cousin Lin Yi, last year Lin Ling left this fifteen or sixteen-year-old cousin to study in Guanning School, Lin Yi is smart and witty, and he is very loved by Yang Yingqi. On this day, Lin Ling came to Jinmen again by the monsoon, so Lin Yi asked for leave and entered the city to see Lin Ling.

In the evening, Huang Jing held a banquet to wash Lin Ling's dust, and Lin Yi also accompanied him. In addition to Liu Cong and Zhao Guan from Yanyun, Li Xianglong from Goryeo, and Chen Guanghu, the second head of the Chen family in Quanzhou, who came first.

These big businessmen sat together and didn't talk about business, but they talked about the wind and moon, and slowly talked about Yang Yingqi. Among this group of people, Chen Guanghu has the least seniority in Jinmen, and he has not been able to meet the seventh general who controls the lifeblood of southern Liaoning, so he quickly pricked up his ears when he heard this topic for fear of missing a sentence, hoping that it would be helpful when he asked to see the seventh general in the future.

Huang Jing spoke loudly, talking about his hobbies from Yang Yingqi's knowledge, saying that he didn't love anything else, but loved books: "Now even the price of good books in Quanzhou has risen, why?" It's because everyone knows that the Seven Generals like good books! Everyone was looking forward to offering a copy to his delight. If you can get a huge piece of good pasture like Liu Dangjia, then you won't be able to eat and wear for ten lifetimes! ”

Everyone laughed at the same time. Lin Yi said: "Actually, in addition to books, the Seventh General has another favorite. ”

Chen Guanghu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and Huang Jing said: "Although Young Master Lin is young, in the past six months, he has followed the Seventh General before and after, and his knowledge has been growing rapidly. When it comes to grasping the preferences of the Seven Generals, everyone here is afraid that no one can match it. ”

After all, Lin Yi was still a child, and his whole body was thirty pounds lighter by his pat, and he didn't even see Lin Ling's eyes, and said proudly: "If you say that in the past few months, none of the merchants in Jinmen have been able to see the Seventh General, except for one person......

Zhao Guan snorted and said, "If this Lin Gongzi doesn't say it, we also know that it's that Hu Shang Ayimusi!" ”

Lin Yi thought to himself how to subdue these adults if he didn't throw out some news that outsiders didn't know, so he said, "Then what did this Ayimusi rely on to impress the Seventh General?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention overflowed, and Lin Yi's heart was even more proud, even Lin Ling kicked him under the table, and continued: "That day, the seventh general was taking a few of us to read "Yu Gong", and at noon a classmate came to report that there was a Hu businessman who asked to see him, and he was scolded by the seventh general before he finished speaking. We thought that the Seventh General was not happy to see Hu Shang, but during the lunch break, the Seventh General called the classmate again and asked what kind of Hu Shang it was, and the classmate said that he was a Uyghur, and the Seventh General thought about it for a while, so he asked me to take the Hu Shang into the mountain gate. ”

Zhu Xushan was originally not forbidden to enter and exit, but the merchants in Jinmen knew that Yang Yingqi did not want to disturb the peace of the Guanning School, so unless all parties were invited to give lectures in the mountain, they were reluctant to recruit Yang Yingqi's jealousy.

Zhao Guan and Yang Yingqi have been friends for many years, and they know that this seventh general is far-reaching, since he met with that Hu Shang, he is afraid that what he is planning is not shallow, and knowing more about these things may not be beneficial, so he interjected and said: "If what the seventh general said is an important military and political matter, Lin Gongzi had better not say it." There are some things that we businessmen should not know. ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Where is the important military and political affairs, in fact, it is that Ayimusi gave a gift to the Seventh General." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and Lin Ling said: "This Hu man is so abrupt, I think I must have been scolded by the Seventh General again." ”

"Nope!" Lin Yi's answer was unexpected: "The Seventh General actually listened patiently to Na Yimusi's words, and finally not only accepted two gifts from him, but also asked him for two more things. ”

Everyone was surprised, and Chen Guanghu hurriedly asked, "What kind of gift is this Hu Shang sending?" What kind of treasure did the Seven Generals ask for? ”

Lin Yi saw that everyone at the banquet was focused on himself, and an inexplicable sense of superiority arose spontaneously, and he spoke even more energetically: "The first gift from that Ayimusi was a blonde and high-nosed beauty from the Western Regions. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the protruding Adam's apple just now chrysalis moved up and down, who of you here is not an old treacherous and cunning except him? As soon as I saw this scene, I knew that the beauty of the Western Regions must be very enchanting, otherwise it would not have provoked this young man to think about it.

Lin Ling coughed, Lin Yi's face turned red, and he was busy using narration to hide his embarrassment: "That Western Regions beauty...... Well, it's very beautiful, but the seventh general only glanced at it and turned his head and said: 'On our side of southern Liaoning, women and men are equal, and women can't give them away, let alone sell them!' Even if she is a slave girl, as soon as she enters my territory, she has the right to demand that she be free. Did you deliberately send a woman to me to violate the laws of my Han Department? ’”

Lin Yi said this, stopped for a moment, and wanted to see everyone's reaction. He originally thought that everyone would be amazed, but everyone present had a natural look on their faces, and it turned out that Huang Jing and the others thought in their hearts: "It's not strange that heroes and heroes don't covet women, otherwise what a great thing can they do!" ”

Seeing everyone like this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, so he had to continue: "That Ayimusi was very frightened, and hurriedly asked for the guilt, and the seventh general didn't blame him deeply, but just asked what the second gift was. This gift aroused the interest of the Seventh General. ”

Huang Jing smiled: "It must be a book!" ”

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Uncle Huang guessed right, it was two boxes of parchment books. What is written on it is all twisted and twisted words, and even the Seventh General doesn't understand it. There was also a little old man beside him, who knew both Dashi and Chinese. The seventh general asked what kind of books they were, and the more he asked, the happier he became. The two of them had been talking for more than an hour, and even the afternoon class was suspended. I stood by and listened, but I didn't even understand it. Later, the seventh general invited the Hu man to stay, and was willing to keep him as a teacher in the Guanning School with a lot of money, and at the same time translate the two boxes of big food books. ”

Liu Cong snorted and said, "This Ayimusi also does what he likes." I have also collected a lot of ancient and modern books, but I didn't expect the Seven Generals to be interested in Lian Fanbang's books. ”

Lin Yi said: "This second thing that aroused the interest of the Seventh General, it is not difficult for everyone to guess correctly, but it is not easy to guess the third thing accurately. If Uncle Huang and Uncle Liu can guess, then the little nephew will really be convinced. ”
