is similar to Gao Cheng's guess, the big man in front of him is Weizhou Tizhi Luda, Luda's personality is straightforward, hearty and atmospheric, it didn't take much effort, Gao Cheng exchanged names with the other party and chatted.

Gao Cheng bluntly said that he heard about Luda's reputation, and specially came to make friends with heroes, and deliberately showed his strength. Immediately made Ruda impressed.

A strong person will attract the attention of others as long as he shows his ability at any time.

Gao Cheng's main purpose in coming to Weizhou this time was to make friends with Luda, and after getting to know each other, he left Weizhou City, if as expected, Luda would kill Zheng Tu next and go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk.

This is the bane of Ruda's character, but it is also his chance. Gao Cheng didn't want to let Luda lose the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth order because of himself.

Anyway, he will go to Tokyo Daxiangguo Temple later, and when Gao Cheng arrives in Tokyo, it will not be too late to catch up with the other party......

Ten days later, Gao Cheng returned to Huayin County with Chen Da, Li Zhong and others.

At this time, the dart bureau established by Gao Cheng has been in full swing in Huayin, and in the first few days, only some businessmen who have a good relationship with Zhao Jiazhuang have hired the dart bureau to escort the goods in the face of Zhao's steward.

Zhu Wu, Yang Chun and Chen Hong and others, for the dart bureau of these tasks very important, every time out of the escort will be dispatched one of them, there is a strength to reach the second order of the good hand in charge, the dart bureau escorted goods do not have any danger, even if they encounter some bandits and robbers who rob the road, they were defeated and repelled by Zhu Wu and others.

When the dart board was safely transporting the goods to their destination, these merchants calculated in their minds that if they hired a dart board escort every time, their cost would be doubled. No more temporary hiring of some in-depth coachman porter.

Time is like water, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and Zhaojiazhuang's dart business has gradually spread from Huayin to Yan'an Mansion and Tongguan.

The world has been peaceful for a long time, Tongguan, the most important barrier to the east in the pass, is also in disrepair, only hundreds of soldiers guard the wall, in the mountains and forests near Tongguan, there are many bandits entrenched.

When the dart bureau escorted the goods through this place, he repeatedly encountered bandit robbery, Gao Cheng knew about it, and specially asked Shi Jin to set off together, sweeping away all the famous cottage bandits within a radius of 300 miles.

After this, Gao Cheng also made a name in the rivers and lakes, and was secretly called a tyrant on the Northwest Green Forest Road by those bandits, referred to as "Zhao Tianba" or "Zhao Tianwang".

Gao Cheng had already made up his mind to use the power of the Great Song Dynasty government to develop his power, so he didn't care about his reputation in the green forest.

this day.

Gao Cheng was checking the accounts of the dart board in the study, and he looked at the account book with a slight smile on his face. "It's not bad, it's only two or three months, and all the expenses spent on setting up the dart game have been earned, and there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver in profit!"

"In the future, the dart game will be on the right track, and if you maintain this state, you will have an income of more than 100,000 taels of silver every year, and in addition to the consumption of cultivating your subordinates, the remaining silver can strengthen the foundation of Zhaojiazhuang several times. ”

When an industry emerges, people who eat crabs at the beginning can make a lot of money in a short period of time. However, the formation and profitability of the dart board is not a secret, and after a while, those who have the manpower and financial resources may also follow the formation of the dart board to get a piece of the pie.

"The most important thing in the dart game is manpower and prestige, if there are good players in the rivers and lakes who are familiar with the green forest, if not, they only need to form a dart bureau, then wait to be robbed by bandits, as long as they lose the dart twice in a row, the dart board they formed will lose the trust of all businessmen, and can only close the door. ”

After Gao Cheng checked all the account books, he secretly made a decision in his heart, and was ready to give Yang Chun, Chen Hong, and Zhu Wu a reward of silver, which could be regarded as a reward for their dedication during this time.

When he let Steward Zhao succeed, he let Yang Chun and Chen Hong sit in the dart bureau, and as for Zhu Wu, he followed him as a master's staff.

"Young Master, Steward Zhao is back!" came the voice of the maid outside.

Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows, immediately stood up and walked out of the study, and happened to see Steward Zhao coming with a happy face.

"Young Master, it's successful!In a few days, the will of the imperial court will come down!" Steward Zhao hurriedly said.

A few days ago, Gao Cheng asked Chen Da and Li Zhong to escort Steward Zhao to Tokyo City, and smashed open the gate of Chu Guogong in Tokyo City with a full 30,000 taels of silver.

The Duke of Chu is the descendant of Zhao Defang, the king of Qin, the son of Taizu's lineage, and Gao Cheng, the incarnation of Zhao Yu, is an ancestor, with this relationship, plus gold and silver to open the way, Gao Cheng has an additional official position of Chengjielang.

Chengjielang is a position from the ninth grade, and is at the lowest level in the rank of officials in the Great Song Dynasty. But such a small official position is something that many people can't afford to struggle for all their lives.

In Gao Cheng's memory, after the Liangshan hero Zhao'an, many famous generals died on the battlefield, and the final posthumous title was also this position.

"Cheng Jielang, from Jiupin! I have this official position, and I am qualified to serve as a county lieutenant or a lieutenant in the army. In the future, the county commander and the county lieutenant will not be able to easily trouble me! If it weren't for my clan status, even if I had 100,000 taels of silver, it would be difficult for me to seek such an official position!"

Gao Cheng said secretly in his heart. The official system of the Great Song Dynasty was more complex and strict than that of the Three Kingdoms, the Tang Dynasty and other worlds. Just the martial arts in the army are enough to have fifty-two ranks.

However, a large part of these 52-rank official positions are not in the stream, and many soldiers work hard and make many meritorious contributions before they can make meritorious contributions and slowly climb up.

From the Chengjielang of the nine products. has surpassed the vast majority of soldiers, and the magistrate that Luda is now serving seems to have a lot of power, but in fact he is a kind of official. and the official position from the nine products is the difference between heaven and earth.

"It's hard work Uncle Zhao!"

Gao Cheng's eyes fell on Steward Zhao's body, he was not young, he had been running around on the road continuously these days, and there were many more gray hairs on his head.

Steward Zhao still had excitement on his face. "Young master, don't say that, if it weren't for the young master, the Zhao family's family business would definitely not be so prosperous. can revitalize the Zhao family, and the villain will be willing even if he dies now!"

Gao Cheng laughed, hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Uncle Zhao, don't say unlucky things at every turn, there will be more places for me to rely on Uncle Zhao in the future!

"According to my calculations, it will be there in three days!" said Steward Zhao.

Gao Cheng nodded, his eyes looked to the east, thousands of high-rise buildings rose from the ground, as long as he could become a member of the Great Song Dynasty official system, he would have a channel for meritorious promotion.

If he becomes Chengjielang and then exterminates the Shaohua Mountain Cottage, he has meritorious service, and he may be able to move a ministry official through the Duke of Chu. Seitsuro represents Gao Cheng's official rank rather than dispatch.

Only when there is a dispatch in his body, that is, the so-called minister, can Gao Cheng have real rights.

"When the decree arrives, Uncle Zhao, you will sit in Zhuangzi, and I am going to go to Tokyo in person to see if there is a chance to be sent!" Gao Cheng said.

In Tokyo, there are many future Ryoyama shoguns. And after a while, Ruda will go to Daxiangguo Temple. Gao Cheng naturally wanted to seize this opportunity. Try to solicit the other party.

These days, Gao Cheng sent people to pay attention to Luda's movements, and two or three months ago, shortly after he left Weizhou, Luda committed a life lawsuit and was forced to go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk.

In fact, in addition to Luda and Shi Jin, there are many heroes in the land of Guanzhong, who are not weak, but these people do not have the true spirit of the stars, so Gao Cheng did not pay too much attention. After all, his future plans are in Tokyo, in Shandong, not in Guanzhong.

A few days later, a civil official of the imperial court came to deliver the edict and named Gao Cheng as the Chengjielang. With Gao Cheng's identity, it is not enough for the eunuchs of the palace to dispatch, and an official position from Jiupin is not enough for the emperor to personally issue a holy decree.
