Soon after, Yang Congyi and his entourage set off from Liuqiu by boat, went north to Mingzhou with the wind, and then turned overland to Huaixi through Lin'an.

When passing through Lin'an, Yang Congyi went back to the Huiyi place, and the procurement of goods in charge of Tang Xun was already in progress, and some businessmen entered and exited the Huiyi place one after another.

According to Tang Xun, the last time the return to the Yi failed, resulting in the difficulty of the purchase of goods increased a lot, many businessmen asked the Hui Yi to repay the previous arrears, they will consider continuing the follow-up cooperation, but this kind of request, she naturally can not agree, the court only gave five million guan, and the Hui Yi this mess, the arrears of more than 8 million guan, with the current funds, can only be made this Hui Yi first, the Hui Yi can be brought back to life, and the accounts owed can be paid off.

Despite the difficulties, the procurement team led by Tang Xun still signed a contract for the purchase of goods worth more than 4 million yuan, and as time goes by, businessmen from afar will come one after another in recent months, and in general, it is expected that it will not be much worse than the first time.

Yang Congyi was relieved to Tang Xun, she said okay, then it must be no problem. Taking a step back, even if the purchase is less than 100 cargoes this time, as long as the sea is properly managed, it should be able to make enough profits.

After staying in Lin'an for two days and seeing Huang Qi, Yang Congyi rushed to Huaixi with four preparers and a team of elite soldiers.

A month later, the group arrived in Huaixi, and Yang Congyi and the four prepared to go to Anfeng, Qizhou, Huangzhou, Wuwei, and Anqing to recruit people, with unlimited posts, the more the better.

Those who apply for the draft must be between the ages of 15 and 25, and the specific requirements are based on the recruitment standards, and once they are recruited, they will be paid two settling-in money.

Yang Congyi brought enough money with him this time, and each of the generals received a large amount of money, including minister's money, settlement money, food and salary, and material purchases.

On the way to Huaixi, they had already made a lot of preparations, and whenever they went, they would inform the local government and send a letter of assistance back to the Yi Office, and then, with the assistance of the government, immediately began to post and distribute recruitment notices.

Yang Congyi returned to the familiar Huaining County, but he didn't know any of the officials he met.

Even if there are no acquaintances, the officials of Huaining, including the Zhijun, are still very enthusiastic about Yang Congyi, after all, he is the person who walked out of the Huaining County Ya, and now he is just in his early thirties and has returned to the Yi Department alone, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the imperial court, and the future is limitless.

In response to Yang Congyi's request for assistance, Lord Zhijun gave full support, and soon sent orders to all counties under his jurisdiction, ordering each county to convey the recruitment notice to every village, town, and every mountain village.

With such strong support from the Anqing military government, Yang Congyi's recruitment pressure has been reduced a lot, and they just need to wait for the news of recruitment to spread to various places, and then set up a recruitment banner.

After staying in Huaining for a few days and having a few banquets with Huaining officials, Yang Congyi went west to Taihu County.

Taihu Lake is the place he is most familiar with, when he ran all over the county's villages and towns in order to repair the river, Taihu Lake is almost his hometown, and there are a few acquaintances he has here, this time he came to Taihu Lake for him.

Yang Congyi quietly appeared in front of Guo's house, and Guo Qing, who came in a hurry, was very happy to see him and hurriedly invited him into his home.

At a family banquet that night, Yang Congyi was the undisputed guest of honor.

Because of the unusual relationship between Yang Congyi and Guo Qing, Guo Qing, as the second son, has also suddenly improved his status in the family, and his seat at the banquet is next to Yang Congyi, and Guo's father is sitting on the other side.

At the banquet, Yang Congyi unabashedly told everyone about the re-establishment of the imperial court and Huiyi, telling them that if they wanted to do business with Huiyi, they could go directly to Lin'an Huiyi to talk to Deputy Envoy Tang, and once the business was negotiated, they could definitely make a lot of money.

Guo Qing helped to return to the Yi to do things, the first two times back to Yi he participated, two times down to make a lot of money, last year originally wanted to wait for the fleet to come back, he purchased a batch of overseas goods to Huaixi to sell, who knew that the fleet had a problem, brought back not many goods, no strong relationship, can not be bought at all.

The Guo family has been doing silk cloth business for generations, and there is also a certain amount of power in Huaixi, and the imperial court organized the return to Yi twice before, they didn't hear about it, but they just felt that it was unreliable, and the silk cloth was transported from Taihu Lake to Quanzhou The road was too far, and once there was a problem on the road, there was no return.

For businessmen who have a certain amount of power, taking a big risk to make a fifty percent profit, it is far less than making two percent of a profit, the most important thing for them is safety, as long as there is no big mistake, even if they don't make money, the family's assets are enough to support a hundred years, once they meet a good opportunity, it is very simple to recover within a few years.

The Guo family's silk cloth business has been so immortal in recent years, not to mention making money, but not to lose money, in and out is basically flat, if you take a risk, it is easy to say if you succeed, if you are unlucky, it will be over, then the Guo family's business will be over in an instant.

Guo's father hesitated, and Guo Qing quickly took over the business of logistics supply of the Huiyi fleet, although this business was laborious, but Huiyi was generous, as long as he was careful in his calculations, he would make sure that he would not lose money, and he could make a lot of money.

Yang Congyi knew that Tang Xun was under a lot of pressure to purchase goods, so he came to Huaixi to help her pull some powerful businessmen by the way, as long as the businessmen were willing to take some risks, it was still more convenient to transport the goods from the Yangtze River to Quanzhou.

After living in Guo Qing's house for a few days, Guo's father personally invited some influential businessmen in Taihu County to come to the house to discuss matters at the suggestion of Yang Congyi, and under Yang Congyi's several explanations and persuasions, finally five businessmen were willing to do business with the Guo family to return to the place, and the goods that the six of them could provide were worth more than 500,000 yuan, which was not a small amount.

Yang Congyi agreed with them on the spot on the draft, and gave them a letter, asking each of them to send a representative to Lin'an to sign the final purchase contract.

After negotiating business, Yang Congyi did not stay too long in Taihu Lake, and soon returned to Huaining and began to prepare for recruitment.

Of course, during this period, he also asked the government to come forward and convene a group of powerful businessmen to inform the imperial court of the return of the trade again, and persuade them to actively participate, however, judging from their feedback, they did not dare to be interested in this matter, because doing business with the Jin country is no worse than selling the goods to the return trade, and there is not too much risk.

In fact, what they said is also reasonable, Huaining is not far from the Song-Jin border, and the horse trade has been much more prosperous than in the past years, and the transportation is quite convenient.

Many years ago, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun escorted Yan Liang back to Huaibei when they went to Anfeng Army, when it was sparsely populated and the fields were barren.

As soon as my heart moved, I wanted to go to the border to see.

Before the recruitment began, Yang Congyi's mind moved, so he immediately got up and urged the fast horse to go towards Luzhou and Anfeng.

Along the way, both sides of the official road are full of green crops, the wasteland has long been reclaimed, everywhere you can see the busy farmers in the fields, peaceful and harmonious, thriving, almost do not feel the tense atmosphere of the border, compared with eight years ago, Luzhou, Anfeng is more suitable for the people to live, recuperate, this is a good thing for the people, but if they know that the Jin people will definitely carry a knife to the south in five years, I don't know if they will leave now, whether to wait for the arrival of the Jin people, or there is another way to deal with it.

It stands to reason that it should be easy to guess whether the Jin people will continue to go south, but obviously the imperial court is not prepared for this, because he only saw the people along the way, and almost did not see many soldiers, not even the troops stationed in the city, and he couldn't see that they were elite, more like a mess and made up the numbers.

Through Luzhou and Anfeng, Yang Congyi soon reached the border of Song and Jin, the county seat of Shouchun.

At that time, he and Tang Xun sent Wanyan Liang back to the north of the Huai River from Shouchun County, and they were in a hurry to return to Lin'an Wuxue, so they only stayed overnight and left in a hurry.

Now that he has come to Shouchun again, he has felt a completely different atmosphere from when he was in Luzhou, where people are obviously more anxious than other places, and they are more wary of strangers who are approaching, even if they talk and talk, they will not get too close.

Across the river from Jinguo, this is the real border!

But even so, Shouchun did not have many troops stationed, it is said that there were less than 2,000 people, and it was still tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

If the imperial court knew that Yan Liang was going to urge Ma to go south five years later, would they still deploy like this?

Yang Congyi is not in the imperial court, not in the Privy Council, even if he knows something, with his current status, he can't do anything.

After staying in Shouchun for two days, he walked around and looked around, and the only unexpected gain was to find that the pawnshop that took Tang Xun's sword eight years ago was still there, and the pawn ticket of that year had long been lost, but he still wanted to try to see if he could redeem the sword for Tang Xun.

When he explained the reason to the shopkeeper and told the other party that he wanted to redeem a sword that he had lost eight years ago, the shopkeeper said to look for it, and according to their rules, if the current period exceeds five years, it will be deemed that the original owner has given up the redemption, and the pawnshop can dispose of it at will.

After two teas, the shopkeeper put a sword in front of Yang Congyi, the scabbard was already a little rotten, the hilt was also moldy, and the sword body was also full of rust, which seemed to be caused by poor storage.

Yang Congyi didn't make much trouble, and immediately redeemed it at the original price, this sword was Tang Xun's belongings back then, and she should be very happy if she brought it back.

On the way back to Huaining, he stopped by to see the recruitment of personnel in Anfeng and Luzhou, and the results made him very satisfied, the two teams of people had each recruited hundreds of people, and people from various counties came to recruit one after another.

When he returned to Huaining, there were no less than 100 people who had come to apply, and the government had already settled them on his behalf.

The recruitment banner was immediately erected, and a register of applicants was created one by one.
