The red light and the dark clouds touched one place, and countless thin red rays pierced into the sea of clouds, and the cloud waves rolled and stretched, pulling, kneading, and blocking the red rays. Chen Ankai saw the air flow around the two of them spinning rapidly, occasionally escaping a sharp air front, like a sharp blade breaking through the sky, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

A thin red mang burst out, bursting a small space in the cloud waves, Yang Siqi secretly said that it was not good, and the true qi was like a raging wave, instantly filling the small gap. The red mangs burst one after another, and Yang Siqi couldn't stop more and more small voids from joining together, turning into large and small gaps, and the qi waves formed by the dark clouds gradually thinned.

Finally, an astonishing true qi accompanied by a faint red light broke through the thin sea of qi and rushed towards him, Yang Siqi roared violently, his body retreated, and his hands were rounded out. The round balloon met the red light, and there was a thunderclap on the ground, and the true qi was flying around, and the yellow sand was all over the air, blocking Chen Ankai's vision.

The true qi dispersed and disappeared, revealing Jiang Anyi and Yang Siqi who were standing opposite each other, and a big pit as deep as a foot appeared between the two. Jiang Anyi's hair was messy, the left sleeve was torn, hanging on his arm like a broken wing, and the clothes under Yang Siqi's right rib were torn open by True Qi, and faint blood marks were printed on his shirt.

Standing still for a moment, Yang Siqi smiled and said: "Happy, Lord Jiang, today does not matter whether you win or lose, and you will fight again another day." ”

Yang Siqi faced Jiang Anyi, his figure jumped back, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if the tide was receding.

Jiang Anyi did not pursue, even if he fought again, he couldn't keep Yang Siqi, seeing Yang Siqi's figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, the heroic singing voice came clearly. Jiang Anyi listened quietly, "The Yuan Tianlun cherishes the passing years, and the clouds cover the sky full of stars in the Yellow Garden. Whoever knows the ingenuity of creation will teach Hanhai to change mulberry fields. ”

As the singing gradually fell, Jiang Anyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, Chen Ankai approached him and sighed: "My lord, good kung fu, this dragon battle has opened my eyes, and I hope that adults will give me more guidance in the future." ”

"Listening to this person's song, I know that his ambition is not small, but unfortunately it can't be used by the court, but it will be a disaster." Jiang Anyi said sullenly: "This person has escaped, with his skills, I am afraid that it will be extremely unfavorable to Huazhou, I am afraid that he will disregard his face and attack the officials of the court and disturb people's hearts." ”

Chen Ankai said with a smile: "Adults are not from the rivers and lakes, and they don't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, so they will never attack ordinary people with this person's skills." ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

On the way back, Chen Ankai roughly explained the rules of the rivers and lakes to Jiang Anyi, these conventions and customs of the rules of the rivers and lakes originated from the Warring States period thousands of years ago, when the countries attacked and killed each other, and the masters of the rivers and lakes were used by the courts of various countries, from the battlefield battles gradually evolved to assassinate the other party's leading generals, and then it became more and more intense, and the officials of the other court were also assassinated, and finally even the officials' families were old, weak, women and children.

After half a jiazi's mutual vendetta, the people of the rivers and lakes finally found that they couldn't afford each other, so they held a martial arts conference in Yanming Mountain and set up the rules of the rivers and lakes: no bullying people with force, no attacking ordinary people with martial arts; Personal enmity is only against oneself, and family members and children must not be bullied; It is not allowed to provoke the court for no reason, etc., if there is a violation, it is the public enemy of the entire martial arts.

"These rules continue to this day, except for a very small number of scum in the rivers and lakes, most people do not follow the rules, Yang Siqi is not only the master of the Haitian Pavilion, but also a famous place in the rivers and lakes, and should abide by the rules agreed by the rivers and lakes."

Jiang Anyi's heart was a lot calmer, Yang Siqi fled west, it seemed that he was leaving Huazhou, as long as he didn't implicate ordinary officials, he didn't have to be afraid of him. On the way back, he met with Park Tianhao, and listened to Chen Ankai's vivid description of the Jiangyang War, Park Tianhao was annoyed, how many times can he see such a master in his life, but he actually ran the wrong way and lost the opportunity, which is a pity.

Jiang Anyi stayed until the tenth day of the seventh month before returning to Huiye Mansion, the affairs of Tuntian were properly handled, Ning Qingzheng of Tuntian Yamen took over, Ning Qingzheng focused on promotion, the Ning family was rich, and corruption was not very likely, and with Ning Qingzheng's family background, those Tun army commanders had to think twice about him.

On this trip, Jiang Anyi brought two classmates from Zechang Academy, replacing the two scribes who were dismissed by him, the surname Yan in the farm and Lin Shujuan, who was in charge of the granary, with these two eyes and ears in the Tuntian Yamen, the government of Tuntian should go on smoothly.

In order to ensure the continuation of the Tuntian government, it was necessary to establish rules to refine the system of the Tuntian Yamen, and this matter was handed over to Liu Jiexing and Ning Qingzheng. Huazhou Tuntian has achieved great results, Liu Jiexing knows that after he reports to the Son of Heaven, Tuntian will inevitably be promoted throughout the country, and his rules in Huazhou are very likely to be promoted to all parts of the country.

When Jiang Anyi left, the grain had been collected into about 300,000 stones, and it should not take half a month to enter the warehouse. The three Tun army commanders were all invited by Long Wei to drink tea because of Xu Baifu's matter, and the disposition of the military department has not yet come down, and the arrogance has long been defeated. Jiang Anyi was not at ease with their promise, Jiang Anyong brought six hundred light cavalry on this trip, his official rank was the same as that of the commander of the tun army, Jiang Anyi simply asked his younger brother to organize the selection and training of the tun soldiers, Wu Dagang and others had to suffer a dumb loss in order to pass the pass.

The fragrance of melons and fruits wafted from Huiye Mansion, and the melon farmers on the street had a smile on their faces, this smile was really sweeter in Jiang Anyi's eyes than the sweet juice of drinking honey fruits, and the laughter of the people was the best praise for officials. Xinfei's delivery date was approaching, and Jiang Anyi decided to stay in the government during this time, waiting for the arrival of a new life.

It was rare that Siyu also picked up the needle and thread, and sewed a few clothes for his unborn nephew (daughter) crookedly, and Tian Zhi couldn't help laughing. Jiang Anyi sighed secretly, it was really taught by a master, and this skill is comparable to that of Xinfei.

An old man in the family is like a treasure, Tian Shaoqiu not only has amazing gambling skills, but also has good medical skills, and a few tocolytic pills make Xinfei feel very good, especially after Tian Shaoqiu touched her pulse a few times, he definitely told her that it was a boy, which made Xinfei more and more happy. Tian Shaoqiu's gambling addiction is not small, after competing with Jiang Anyi twice in the capital, he felt that Jiang Anyi was a talent that could be created, and when he was free for dinner, the two took their gambling skills and sat in the gazebo, drinking tea while competing in gambling skills, one old and one young were very compatible.

Occasionally, Guo Fatzi would come to fight the tooth sacrifice and brag to Jiang Anyi about his business experience. With the help of Jiang Anyi, Guo Fatzi's honey fruit has been presented to the palace as a tribute to Huazhou, the Son of Heaven saw the signboard with a chubby smiling face a little strange, and listened to Liu Weiguo explain that this Guo Fatzi was Jiang Anyi's brother-in-law, doing business in Huazhou, earning a lot of oil, and he had a share in the Jiang family's business, so he opened Chrysostom and asked Guo Fatzi to offer 2,000 cans of each honey fruit into the palace, anyway, he didn't care if he was rich.

There are nearly ten kinds of melons and fruits that can be made into honey fruits in Huazhou, and one of the two thousand cans is 20,000 cans, which is worth forty or fifty thousand taels of silver at the market price, but Guo Fatzi laughed when he got the news, and Siyu said in surprise: "Fat brother, the emperor wants something from you to be reasonable, you won't be heartbroken and crazy." ”

Guo Huaili spat on Siyu, and scolded with a smile: "What does the little girl know, when did you see the fat brother lose money in business, don't look at the face of the Son of Heaven who is greedy for cheapness, but Lao Guo really has the inside." ”

Tian Zhi smiled and asked: "Fat brother, even Uncle Sun admires your business methods, you tell me, maybe when I go back to Miao Village in the future, I can also do some small business to support my family." "Sun Licai is a powerful person in Miao Village, Tian Zhi knows that Uncle Sun sold the rock candy that is not valuable in Miao Village for a sky-high price of 550 Wen a catty, which is simply beyond Miao Zhi's imagination, are the Central Plains people so rich?

When she followed her grandfather to Huazhou Huiye Mansion, she knew that it was this fat brother surnamed Guo who was doing business with Uncle Sun, Tian Zhi was still laughing secretly at that time, this smiling Brother Guo was deceived by Uncle Sun, and when he learned that the truth was like him, Tian Zhi was dumbfounded, it turned out that he was a fool. This amiable-looking Brother Guo waited for Uncle Sun to transport rock candy to Huazhou, he didn't have to do anything, he could sell it for 800 wen a catty as soon as he changed hands, and make a net profit of 250 wen a catty, which really made Tian Zhi envious and admired.

Being able to show off in front of the two little girls, Guo Huaili was proud, shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "The honey fruit is sent to the palace, and my old Guo's Guo Fat Honey Fruit is a tribute, and it is naturally different from other honey fruits." You say don't you? ”

Siyu and Tian Zhi both nodded. Last year, Jiang Anyi told the people of Huazhou free of charge, but it was the gentry of Huazhou who could really make honey fruits, and the hard-earned money of melon farmers. In April this year, melons and fruits went on the market, and honey fruits began to appear, not only in Huazhou, but even in neighboring states knew the practice of honey fruits, but the price of honey rose too much this year, and the profits during the period were not as good as last year.

Waiting for the arrival of rock sugar in Miao Village, although the price is expensive, it solves the problem of insufficient honey and high price, and the honey fruit on the market gradually increases, and the price is about two taels of silver per can, mainly sold to various places by traders and transported to the countries of the Western Regions by Hu merchants. Counting only the commercial tax, one out of ten taxes can also bring hundreds of thousands of taels of tax silver to Huazhou.

"Since it's a tribute, it's something eaten by the Son of Heaven, Niangniang, and the prince and grandson, do you think it should be a little more expensive than other honey fruits?"

With Guo Fatzi's smug words, Siyu and Tian Zhi both nodded violently, and Tian Zhi's eyes were even brighter, feeling that the fat brother was too good at business.

Jiang Anyi smiled: "How much do you sell a can in the shop in the capital?" ”

"Two, two, six dollars of silver," Guo Huaili said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to taste the royal tribute, it was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves, but it is no worse than the perfume business." ”

"Even if you come to Huazhou to buy it, you will need two taels of silver a can, and you will not bargain." Guo Huaili patted his stomach proudly. Everyone knows that due to the fact that there are too many honey fruits, other honey fruits on the market can only be sold for about one, two, and five.

"Ouch", Xin Fei suddenly cried out in pain. Jiang Anyi jumped up anxiously and asked anxiously, "My stomach hurts, but I'm going to give birth?" ”

There were preparations in the courtyard, and Wen Niang helped Xinfei into the house. Half an hour later, a crisp baby cry resounded in the backyard of the mansion, and Wen Niang held a baby and reported the good news to Jiang Anyi, who was anxiously waiting in front of the door: "Congratulations, my lord, it's a boy." ”

The second child of the Jiang family, Jiang Chenyi came to the world.
