When Zhang Fuguang went back, Zhang Nashan was waiting for him in the hall drinking tea. As soon as Zhang Fuguang entered the door, he told his father what Zeng Yu told him just now, Zhang Nashan heard this, and said to him: "Fuguang, I am already old, and the next thing is the world of you young people." You must follow the lord well, whether my Zhang family can make a fortune depends on yours. Although the status of the merchant is now underground, I don't think the lord is an ordinary person, in ancient times, Fan Li assisted the Yue King Goujian to take revenge, and there was Lu Buweiqi to live in, and these two people later achieved one person under ten thousand people. I don't have high requirements for you, because there is still such a talent as the Yin Master Book under our lord's command, but at the level of Jiuqing, I hope to have a place in my Zhang family in the future. In this way, when I die, I can proudly explain to my ancestors. “

"Don't worry, father, the child will work hard." Zhang Fuguang replied respectfully.

"With me, you can rest assured about the affairs of the family, you will now focus on the Chamber of Commerce, our Zhang family and the Chamber of Commerce can be said to be both prosperous and loss-making. Now there are many talents under the command of the lord, not to mention the fellow villagers of the lord, they have a close relationship with the lord, and we can't compare. And those who joined later, such as Tian Yuanhao and Guo Fengxiao, have met them a few times for their father, and they can see that they have a strategy in their chests, and they can be said to be dragons and phoenixes among people. Our Zhang family with the initial support of the relationship with the lord, the lord in order to be grateful to the chamber of commerce to you to take care of, sooner or later there will be a day when the favor will run out, our Zhang family wants to maintain their status, must develop the chamber of commerce, become the money bag in the hands of the lord. Zhang Nashan has always been worried about the status of the Zhang family, but after learning from Zhang Fuguang's mouth about Zeng Yu's plan to cultivate their Zhang family, his heart also fell to the ground, but he was worried that Zhang Fuguang relied on the original friendship, so he had to remind him carefully.

"The child understands that I will definitely do my best to handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. In this way, the wine that the lord said still needs to be arranged by my father, and when I get the winemaking recipe from the lord tomorrow, everything will be handed over to my father. Zhang Fuguang said.

"I will naturally arrange this, no matter what, your father and I have been in business for most of my life, although I am old, this little thing can still be handled. You still have to go to the county government tomorrow morning, so go and rest early. Zhang Nashan nodded and said to Zhang Fuguang.

"The child is gone, the weather is cold, and the father should rest early!" Zhang Fuguang arched his hand and said to his father.

Zhang Nashan looked at the back of Zhang Fuguang walking away, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, whether it was him or Zhang Fuguang, he would never have thought that the young people he brought to the county would be the opportunity for the rise of their Zhang family, let alone what kind of behemoth the Anping Chamber of Commerce, which is still weak now, will develop into in the future, maybe this is the so-called fate.

These things are very important to the Zhang family, but compared to Zeng Yu's plan, they can only be regarded as trivial, after handing over the recipe for brewing wine and wool processing into wool to Zhang Fuguang, Zeng Yu turned his head and focused on the current situation of the Han Dynasty. Because of the Spring Festival, the control of news in various places is not so strict, so Xie Jing arranged for intelligence officers in various places to send a large amount of news from all over the country, and the one he cares about the most is the news of Taiping Dao.

According to intelligence, the 36 square Qushuai of Taiping Dao, which is located in the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan, has been assembling believers under his command since the end of the year, and at least half of them are Dafang, who has more than 10,000 people, and there are 7,000 or 8,000 others. These are all loyal disciples of the Taiping Dao, and their fanatical beliefs will make their combat effectiveness much higher than that of ordinary people.

Judging from the actions of Taiping Dao, their incident may be imminent, and Zeng Yu does not know when Taiping Dao will start an incident. However, the equipment of the cavalry battalion under Zeng Yu has not yet been built, and the unclothed army elite battalion and the archer battalion have just been replenished with a thousand recruits, which will take time. If there is an incident in Taiping Road at this time, he will fall into an embarrassing situation, so he needs the Taiping Road Incident to occur at least after March, so that he can have a chance to make contributions in Jizhou, the base camp of Taiping Road.

He thought carefully about how to prevent Taiping Dao from rushing into trouble at the beginning of the year, and suddenly thought of an incident that had happened before the Taiping Dao incident. That is, Zhang Jiao's disciple Tang Zhou was afraid, but he who had agreed to respond in the capital reported to the imperial court, so the imperial court quickly captured the Dafang Yuanyi of Jingzhou and broke the car in Luoyang. At the same time, the Han court ordered the assassins of Jizhou to arrest Zhang Jiao and others. Zhang Jiao and other governors have been revealed, galloping in all directions, and all of a sudden, that is, the famous Yellow Turban Uprising officially kicked off.

This means that if it were not for Tang Zhou's high secret, Zhang Jiao's incident would definitely be later, so that he might be able to buy enough time to train the troops in his hands. As for this, it would also make Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao more prepared, but Zeng Yu was not worried, because the composition of the Taiping Daoists doomed them to be unable to complete their goal of overthrowing the Han court.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yu instructed his own soldiers: "You go and help me call Zhiyuan and Guo Junshi." ”

The soldiers received the order and quickly went out to the house of Xie Jing and Guo Jia, at this time, it was just a few days after the New Year, and neither of them went out. Sure enough, the pro-soldiers received them at the house of the two, and after telling them Zeng Yu's order, the two immediately got dressed and followed the pro-soldiers to the county office.

"The lord called us over, but it's for the sake of Taipingdao?" Guo Jia met Xie Jing, who was also invited by his own soldiers, on the road, and chatted with him along the way.

"That's right, seeing Feng Xiao, I also saw that Taiping Dao's recent movements are relatively large, I am worried that they have risen recently, but neither our cavalry battalion nor the unclothed army on the mountain are ready, at least until March they will have enough combat effectiveness. I came here to ask if there is any way to prevent Taiping Dao from causing trouble right away? Zeng Yu nodded and said.

"My lord, there are no of our people in the core of Taiping Dao, and if you want to guide them when something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Xie Jing was in charge of specific intelligence gathering, and was called by Zeng Yu at this time and took the lead in speaking.

Zeng Yu didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia. After Guo Jia talked to Xie Jing just now, he also roughly guessed Zeng Yu's thoughts, he thought for a while, and said: "Since we can't influence Taiping Dao from the inside, we can start from the outside." For Zhang Jiao and others, the Taiping Road incident is a major matter of life and death, and they must be properly prepared before they can do it. If we want them not to rush into trouble, we just need to grasp this opportunity and let it appear later. ”

"Then how to operate Feng Xiao can have an idea?" Zeng Yu asked.

Jia didn't expect it for the time being, but Taiping Dao has been preparing for so many years, if you really want to find an opportunity, you must need an event that can shake the entire Han Dynasty. And if you want to do this, the most direct thing is to seize Luoyang, Kyoto, and I think Taiping Dao must also have someone there, maybe their opportunity is there. Imagine if Luoyang falls, the Son of Heaven is imprisoned, and the Taiping Road rises up, at this time, the dragons have no leader, and the Taiping Road uprising will have a great chance of winning. Guo Jia analyzed.

Listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Zeng Yu fell into contemplation for a while, it is obvious that Guo Jia's analysis is very reasonable, in Zeng Yu's memory, Zhang Jiao sent his proud disciple Tang Zhou to Luoyang, and contacted the Zhongchang servant Feng Yu who believed in the Taiping Dao, trying to take him as an internal response, directly seize Luoyang, Kyoto, control the palace, and control the Lingdi and Jiuqing and other adults in their hands.

Although he didn't know why Tang Zhou, as Zhang Jiao's disciple, betrayed him at the most critical time, causing Zhang Jiao to rise up in a hurry and eventually fall short. But whether it is his or Guo Jia's analysis, Tang Zhou is the key person in their delay to the Taiping Road uprising.

"Zhiyuan, can anyone arrange for us in Luoyang?" Zeng Yu asked Xie Jing.

"Back to the lord, Luoyang has our people, but as the imperial capital, it is very xenophobic, and we have been operating for a short time, and now the people and horses in Luoyang are all ordinary identities, and I am afraid that I can't do anything big." Xie Jing replied.

"It's okay, I don't need them to do anything now, I just need you to go to Luoyang in person and find out Tang Zhou's whereabouts. Don't talk about him after you find him, just spy on him, and report to me in time if there is any unusual behavior, and I will allow you to make your own decisions when it is critical. Zeng Yu instructed Xie Jing that he had been in charge of intelligence collection, and naturally knew Tang Zhou's identity.

"I don't know what the identity of this Tang Zhou that the lord said, could it be that he is the opportunity for the Taiping Dao incident?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

"That's right, this person is Zhang Jiao's proud disciple, but he has been lurking in Luoyang without revealing the mountains, and he must have an important task on his shoulders. Zhiyuan went to Luoyang, first, to prevent this person from being an internal response and leading thieves into Beijing to control Luoyang before March. The early emperors of the Tang and Zhou dynasties have been in capital for several years, and they must have colluded with forces inside and outside the palace, so you must have an idea. In addition, if Tang Zhou is exposed in advance, you should not let life fall into the hands of the government. As long as these two points are achieved, I think Taiping Road will not cause trouble just after the New Year. Zeng Yu explained.

"No! It's just that in this way, what about the intelligence work everywhere. Please also ask the lord to make it clear. After Xie Jing clenched his fists and received the order, he asked Zeng Yu.

"You don't have to worry about this, Feng Xiao, during the time when Zhiyuan left, you will be responsible for the intelligence, and you need to analyze what Taiping Dao is most likely to do." Zeng Yu instructed Guo Jia.

"No!" Guo Jia also changed his uninhibited appearance, and replied with a straight face.
