Xiao Tienu perked up when he heard this: "I didn't listen much to what you said about it, but you said that we can have a population of two million, hey!" Listen to this sentence! With a population of two million, you can feed an army of 500,000! It's enough to compete with any great power. ”

Yang Yingqi was shocked and said: "500,000 troops? You're a good fighter! Where is it needed so much! ”

Xiao Tienu said: "When our Han Department was in Huining, there were less than 20,000 people, but even the sappers under the third (Yang Kaiyuan) were counted, there were more than 5,000 people. Two million people feed an army of half a million, which is about the same. ”

Yang Yingqi smiled bitterly: "How can it be counted like this!" In the past, we were able to maintain this ratio of soldiers to civilians because Han Village was small, and the third brother's sappers were half-soldiers and half-civilians, so they had to help repair equipment and build houses in normal times, and they had to help with the harvest when they were busy with farming! When the population is large and the country is large, where can it still be done? In the future, the structure of our military department will have to be changed gradually, and it is impossible to have so many people. Besides, as long as we have good weapons, strong horses, well-handed generals, powerful soldiers, and sufficient food and grass, 100,000 people will be enough to run rampant in the world. ”

Xiao Tienu nodded and said, "Okay, 100,000 is 100,000." Hey! The Khitan people said that the Jurchen was not satisfied with 10,000 people, and they were invincible. Our Han elite is no worse than the Jurchens! If I have 10,000 cavalry under my hands, I will not see who will destroy whom! ”

Yang Yingqi sighed: "Today, whoever has a war horse is the king!" When I was in Huining, I desperately exchanged tea for horses, and when I left, I exchanged a lot of fertile land in Han Village, and now our cattle and horses are relatively thick. However, the expansion of the army still has to be done slowly, and there is no hurry. ”

The two were pointing out the country and talking about the future, when suddenly the boy came to report that a businessman named Huang Jing asked to see him.

Yang Yingqi thought for a moment and said, "This person's ability is not small, and he can actually find here." Let him come. ”

Xiao Tienu was not interested in these things, and led the servants to ride horses and shoot hunting.

That Huang Jing came over to salute Yang Yingqi, and Yang Yingqi asked, "Are you from the Huang family in Quanzhou?" Seeing Huang Jing say yes, he asked again: "Who are you Huang Lu?" What are you doing here? ”

Huang Jing said: "Huang Lu is the brother of the villain. From Quanzhou to Goryeo, I was originally in charge of the family's business on this sea route. Nowadays, Daikin has opened a port in Jinmen, with complete goods and a convenient system, which is really unprecedentedly prosperous on the coast of the East China Sea for thousands of years. My brother admired the talents and courage of the seven generals very much, and ordered me to bring some local products, and asked the seven generals to laugh at them. ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to come up, and held a few wooden plates, which were covered with red cloths, and it seemed a little difficult to hold the man, thinking that they were all gold and silver treasures. Huang Jing was about to go over and open it, but Yang Yingqi stopped him and said, "Wait!" I won't want these things! If that's all you have to do this time, you can go. ”

Huang Jing was terrified and said, "The villain is abrupt! Please forgive me. Adults are as clear as water, as clear as a mirror......"

Yang Yingqi interrupted him and said, "That's enough." Those who know themselves are clear, and those who know others are wise. I don't have anything else, I still have some self-knowledge, you don't give me a sycophant! I know what kind of character I am, so I don't need you to praise it! If you want to ask me for anything, just say it. If I want money or things, I will naturally mention it to you directly, so I don't have to engage in these twisted and twisted false words. ”

Huang Jing is a businessman, and when he heard that Yang Yingqi was willing to make a clear offer, he was happy and said: "Since this is the case, the villain will be bold." My Huang family has a lot of boats, and they have quite good connections in the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, and in the northern seas, the Ouyang family could not be compared with my family. It's just that the Ouyang family has a great four generals, and my Huang family is a white ding, and I will be compared to it when I get there. So...... This ......"

Yang Yingqi smiled: "You want to regain the commercial rights of the East China Sea, don't you?" ”

Huang Jing hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." We just want to be on par with the Ouyang family. ”

Yang Yingqi retreated left and right, and said: "You and my Han Department originally had nothing to do, but as soon as the port of Jinmen opened, the sea from Liaokou to Jinmen, you got forty percent, do you know who this means?" ”

Huang Jing's heart moved, and then he was overjoyed: "It turned out to be the favor of the Seven Generals!" The awe of the young man in front of me deepened.

A few months ago, when Huang Lu came to Jinmen, Yang Yingqi had not yet gone south, and seeing that Ouyang had proper power, he thought that it was hopeless to get a piece of this big business, but in the end, he actually got forty percent of the sea from Liaokou to Jinmen for no reason. The profits of this short-distance shipping route were not very impressive at this time, but it was a demonstration of the family's maritime strength on the Liaodong Peninsula. If there was no forty percent of the sea, it would be difficult for the Huang family to gain a foothold in Jinmen, but they were afraid that they would have been squeezed out by the Ouyang family. Huang Jingxin said: "At that time, this seventh general had not yet arrived, but I didn't expect him to be able to control the situation remotely, it seems that it is not wrong to bet on him!" ”

I heard Yang Yingqi ask again: "Do you know why I want to help you?" ”

Huang Jing said in fear: "The villain is ignorant, please ask the seventh general to make it clear." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It's very simple. If the Ouyang family is allowed to dominate, it will not be beneficial to the Han Department. ”

Huang Jing was pleasantly surprised, Yang Yingqi even said this kind of thing, it seemed that he intended to train them as royal merchants, and hurriedly said: "The Huang family is willing to serve the seven generals!" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "It seems that you have misunderstood." Not to me, but to the Hanbu. Seeing Huang Jing's eyes flickering, he said, "Okay, don't think too much." In short, as long as you listen to me and do things well, and don't violate the ban of my Han Ministry, your family's business will grow and grow. Tomorrow you send someone to stay in Jinmen, and I can inform you in time if I have anything to take care of. ”

Huang Jing was overjoyed and said, "Yes!" ”

Yang Yingqi suddenly asked, "What is the strength of the Quanzhou Lin and Chen families?" ”

Huang Jing knew that this seventh general was well-informed, so he didn't dare to lie, and said: "The two of them mainly go to Nanyang, and in terms of strength, they can compete with my family." This sentence is actually not very honest, the strength of the Lin and Chen families is actually better than the Huang family.

Yang Yingqi asked again: "Do they have any intention of going north?" ”

Huang Jing was embarrassed for a while, and said, "It's a little interesting, but I can't enter the door." After hesitating for a while, he thought that with the shrewdness of these seven generals, most of them would know about this sooner or later, so it was better to say it first to show their loyalty: "In fact, they have sent ships to explore the door, but they are just hanging up as a loose number, thinking that they want to hide from us, so as not to be excluded by my family and the Ouyang family, but where can this kind of thing be hidden from peers!" ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "Since they have a heart, my Han Department can't give them a cold face." You can help me thread the needle and lead the two families to meet me. ”

Huang Jing's face is difficult, and he leads others to share his own meat soup, where is he willing? But he didn't dare to refuse.

Yang Yingqi sneered: "Huang Daguan, Dajin is now one of the strongest countries in the world!" Our department is fully responsible for Dakin's maritime business, this business is very big, you and the Ouyang family can't finish it! I'll tell you plainly today, on the northern trade route of the East China Sea, I plan to let your Huang family and Ouyang family each share 30%, Chen Lin's family 10%, and retail investors eat the rest. As for private business, it's up to you. ”

Huang Jing heard Yang Yingqi say this bluntly, and knew that he wanted to achieve balance. I heard Yang Yingqi say again: "You do a good job for the Han Department, and I won't be able to lose you in the future!" Today I can let the Chen Lin family go north to Jinmen, and tomorrow I will also support your family to go to Nanyang. Huang Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

After Yang Yingqi finished explaining his official business, he said again: "By the way, can you please do something for me personally?" ”

Huang Jing hurriedly said: "Please give orders from the Seventh General!" ”

Yang Yingqi instructed the boy to bring a list and said, "I can't find these books for a while, you can help me pay attention to them." ”

Huang Jing took a list and looked at it, there were nearly 200 kinds of lists, he was generally knowledgeable, and he didn't understand much, so he said honestly: "I don't know much about books, and when I go back, I will ask the great Confucian of Quanzhou to inquire and collect them on my behalf, and I will definitely buy them for the Seventh General." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Even if you buy it, I will not be able to miss you when the time comes." In addition, if there are Confucian students in Jiangnan who are willing to come to the sea, please be sure to take me to express your courtesy. If they are willing to look at Liaodong, they will all be treated as guests from the general downward! I'll pay for everything. Now that the Song Dynasty is corrupt, if there are people who are willing to go to Liaodong, as long as they are truly knowledgeable, the door of the Han Department is open, and those who come will not refuse. ”

Huang Jing agreed repeatedly, but said in his heart: "Let us businessmen make money, it is unbelievable, and we want Confucian scholars to be officials in this wild place?" Who's going to come? ”
