The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter!

Gu Zhilun has been in a great mood these days, and received a letter from Lu Zheng, asking him to immediately purchase tea, silk, porcelain, and most importantly, refined salt from the south of the Yangtze River to the north.

What does this mean? This means that Lu Zheng has the confidence to open up the passage from the northwest to the north, and once this passage is opened, it means that the silver of the white flower will enter his pocket like flowing water.

More than a year has passed, and Gu Zhilun has already sprinkled more than 300,000 taels of silver in the northwest, and except for opening a bookstore that lost money, the rest of the money has been paved.

As a businessman, the silver flowed out of his pocket like flowing water, and he was really distressed in his heart. But what he keeps is a belief, that is, no matter what happens in this life, he has to follow Lu Zheng.

If he didn't know Lu Zheng, he would still be just a small bookseller in Yangzhou, and now, he is the first-class boss in Jiangnan, as a side branch of the Gu family, he can almost compete with the Gu family, which is all thanks to Lu Zheng.

When business is done to a certain point, silver becomes a number, and things other than silver, Gu Zhilun's own ability cannot be obtained in any way, Gu Zhilun can only look forward to Lu Zheng.

Looking at the news sent from Jiangnan, Gu Zhilun couldn't help but be overjoyed, these tea, silk, porcelain, and salt were only purchased in Jiangnan for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they were transported from Jiangnan to the northwest, and they were worth at most 100,000 taels of silver.

But once they crossed the Kan'er River and arrived at the Hulun Prairie, these things immediately turned into golden lumps, and 100,000 taels of silver became 500,000 taels or even 1 million taels.

Cattle and sheep fur, goat milk, milk on the Hulun grassland are piled up, the price is low there, as long as you go south and cross the Kaner River, it is immediately several times the profit, and if it can be transported to the south of the Yangtze River, a fox skin scarf, it will cost a hundred taels of silver, such a fox skin only needs to use two catties of salt to exchange hands on the Hulun grassland.

With a stirring mood, Gu Zhilun came to Lu Zheng's mansion in a carriage, and when the guards led him to the backyard, Lu Zheng was talking to the boy about things.

He subconsciously wanted to step back, Lu Zheng beckoned: "Uncle Gu, you are not an outsider, come, come, let's take a look at this place of Elm Bend!" ”

Gu Zhilun approached and found that Lu Zheng had actually laid a completed map of Longyou on the ground, looking at this map, it was drawn extremely finely, and the place names, mountain names, and water names on it were marked with great accuracy.

Looking at this map, it is like seeing real mountains and real waters, as if the entire northwest region is right in front of you. Gu Zhilun sighed at just one glance, thinking that Lu Gongzi's magical powers are really vast, and such a picture can be obtained, I am afraid that this is a top secret thing in the imperial court and military!

Lu Zheng didn't care about Gu Zhilun's thoughts, he pointed at the map with his hand, and said: "Yumu County is not as good as Liangzhou, the area of this county is more than four times that of Shatian County, but the population is not even half of Shatian County. The life of the people is hard, the war is endless, and the day is not safe!

The Turkic cavalry that crossed the Kan'er River harassed Yumu County almost every year, and in the past five years, Yumu County was breached three times, and several county commanders were killed! Hehe, so, serving as the county magistrate of Yumu County is not a good errand, what do you two think? ”

The boy's expression was very solemn, and he said: "Childe, if you go to Yumu County, the first thing you will do is to rectify the defense, otherwise, once there is a war, I am afraid that ......"

The boy was halfway through his words, then he closed his mouth, and Lu Zheng said: "It's not that once there is a war, and there must be a war!" Elm Bend has always been the most frequent place for war, attacking and retreating are important places, at present, Song San's situation, internal and external troubles, his opponent has no way to take him from the front, and he may not do some unsightly deeds beyond the convention, once that happens, Elm is a fierce place! ”

Lu Zheng sighed and said faintly: "The most terrifying thing in this world is the human ......."

Lu Zheng thought of his past and present life, although he had been in the army in his previous life, he had been in the fire brigade, and the military was a short board, especially for the military in the era of cold weapons, he was even weaker.

In addition, he is the body of a scholar in this life, and he doesn't know martial arts, so he can't think about killing enemies on the battlefield. However, everything is forced, and if Lu Zheng wants to go to Yumu, he has to get involved in the military, and even his physical fitness has to be improved quickly.

Lu Zheng didn't want to go to Yumu to take office by himself, like some previous Yumu county orders, there was no return.

Lu Zheng now has more than a dozen masters on hand, and Tong Zi is the top master, but in the face of the cavalry rolling on the battlefield, no matter how high the master is, it is not easy to use, so to put it bluntly, he is a little nervous.

Gu Zhilun said: "Brother Zheng, I have a sentence that I don't vomit and be unhappy!" As far as I know, the third prince of Song was ostracized in the Song family, and Liangzhou has been rumoring that General Song intends to deprive him of his military power.

This time, because of your help he got through it. But several of his brothers will definitely be more jealous of him, although he Song Sangongzi is brave and unparalleled, but as the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, in case of accidents, be careful to affect the pond fish......"

Lu Zheng frowned slightly, clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Gu is right!" I was also negligent in this point, my safety is very important, and Song San may not be safe. Once I arrived in Yumu County, he and I were grasshoppers tied to a rope, one was prosperous, and the other was lost! In this way, I am not sure that it is a good deal, but unfortunately I regret it a little late now, it is too late! ”

Lu Zheng suddenly waved his hand, his heart was horizontal, and he said: "If you want to die in the sky, you won't die for thousands of years!" Isn't it war? The world is not peaceful, how can it ever be stable? ”

When Lu Zheng said this, Gu Zhilun and Tong Zi both looked at each other, and their faces showed strange expressions. Lu Zheng is the number one talent in the south of the Yangtze River, a personable talent, chic and elegant, suddenly changed his style, his mouth burst out of foul language, his big hand waved, and his face showed a ruthless and resolute look, this scholar is really ruthless!

"Uncle Gu, it's good that you're here! Now from Liangzhou all the way to the Kan'er River, all the tricks have been cleared for the time being! Duan Runan and Wang Wenyuan of Liangzhou Mansion should not make rash moves for the time being, take advantage of this opportunity, we will cross the Kan'er River in one go, and pass this severed trade road, so your people will go to Yumu ...... with me" Lu Zheng said.

Gu Zhilun said: "Oh, brother, don't worry, you are not afraid of death, we will be afraid of death?" I have arranged everything, the goods from Jiangnan are transported to the suburbs of Beijing through Cao, and I have already gotten on the snowmobile to come here, and it will arrive in about ten days!

I immediately personally brought someone into Hulun, and as long as I got in touch with that side, I would be able to get the goods over immediately......"

……

The weather is getting colder and colder, the snow gets heavier the further north you go, the carriage becomes a sleigh car, and Lu Zheng and his party go to the north to take office.

In the cold wind, the shadow was wrapped in a thick fur, revealing only a small face stained with tears, Lu Zheng hugged her gently, and said: "Remember to take care of your home in Liangzhou, when spring is open and warm, I will let someone pick you up." ”

Nie Xiaonu stood behind Lu Zheng, his expression was also very reluctant, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Sister Ying'er, don't worry, I can take care of my son!" Elm is a dangerous place, and Childe has not gained a firm foothold in the past, so he is worried about ......"

Nie Xiaonu said the back, his tone was choked, and it was difficult to express. She and Ying'er have known each other since Jiangnan, from Jiangnan to the capital, from the capital to the northwest, the two followed Lu Zheng together, got along day and night, and had a very deep relationship.

Yumu is a dangerous place, Nie Xiaonu took advantage of her superior martial arts, and following Lu Zheng can not only serve him, but she can also help Lu Zheng at a critical time, while Ying'er can only stay in Liangzhou and cannot get into danger for the time being.

The hero is short of breath, the love of children is long, Lu Zheng is ruthless, he raised his hand, the boy who drove the car shook the whip in his hand, the horse pulling the car galloped forward in the snow, and the convoy quickly disappeared into the vast snow.

This season is the hardest, mainly because the weather is too cold, the dripping water turns into ice, and the Qanar River freezes again, and the northern Turkic rangers and even the hungry herdsmen, who only need to wrap their horses' hooves with brown, can easily cross the border.

The cavalry lost the barrier of natural danger, came and went freely, and acted like the wind, so the pressure of border defense was just great in winter, and the general Song Naifeng had never returned to Beijing for the New Year for so many years, and the Northwest Army camp was also located in the Red Kao Gobi of the Kaner River.

The general's tent is naturally unusual, the tent is not only tall, but also the facilities inside are luxurious like a palace, the fire is blazing in the huge charcoal basin, and the temperature in the house is like a spring.

Song Naifeng was wearing a brocade robe, seeing that his figure was not tall, sitting cross-legged behind several cases, holding a book in his hand, he looked like a gentleman in a private school, or a good and elegant outsider.

Looking at his left and right, the soldiers are like a forest, all of them are heroic, there are many strategists, and everyone is extraordinary. In the Chinese army's marshal's tent, everyone held their breath, and everyone's attention was on Song Naifeng.

"All here?" Song Naifeng's voice was low.

"See the General!" Everyone saluted in unison, and the sound in the tent was like a rainbow, and the momentum was great.

Song Naifeng put the scroll in his hand in front of him, raised his head and looked like a knife, sweeping over everyone's faces, and the atmosphere in the audience was even more tense, almost like a needle drop.

"Why didn't the third child come?" Song Naifeng said.

"Back to the general, the three generals fought with Hekuo too viciously a few days ago, and killed Hekuo too straight to the depths of the Hulan grassland, the three generals because they chased too quickly, accidentally injured the horse, and after coming back, they also contracted the wind and cold, so they were sick in bed, and it was really inconvenient to walk, so they sent the last general to lead the general's order!" An ironclad general with a sassy son came out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately sneered: "Song Wensong is thinking about raising soldiers and respecting himself, and he doesn't respect orders, right?" It's a coincidence, I don't get sick in the morning, I don't get sick in the evening, but at this time I contracted the wind cold, I think there is something strange in the middle. General, I thought this matter should be strictly investigated! ”
