Chapter 172: The Imminent Death of Man

"Brother Yang, Brother Tang: Seeing the words is like meeting ......" As soon as he saw the beginning, Yang Congyi immediately knew who the letter was.

In addition to Wanyan Liang, who else will there be!

After reading the letter carefully, Yang Congyi smiled and said: "Thank you, Wang Yuanwai, this is the letter that my friend gave me." ”

The merchant surnamed Wang said: "Lord Yang is polite, a little thing is not enough to worry about." ”

Yang Congyi got up and said, "Sit outside the king, I'll go out for a while." ”

"My lord, I'll send it to you later?" The king stood up.

"No, I'll talk about it later." Yang Congyi didn't go back to the door.

Tang Xun was writing a letter at the table, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, so he put down the pen, put away the unfinished letter, and then got up to open the door.

"Brother Yang, don't you want to rest, why are you back again?"

"I'll show you something." Yang Congyi entered the house and closed the door reflexively.

Tang Xun took the letter with some hesitation, sat down, opened it, and exclaimed: "Isn't this the person we saved last year, what's it called?" ”

"Finished."

"yes, that's the guy. When did you go to him? You see, he was not small-hearted, and gave us 10,000 taels of gold each, and he knew how much 10,000 taels of gold was? Open your mouth and come. "Tang Xun has never had much of a good impression of Wan Yanliang,

"You're right, he's really just opening his mouth. I went into the city today, and when I heard that the envoy of the Jin Kingdom came to congratulate the Tianshen Festival, I thought about trying my luck. So I asked someone to take the knife and look at it, but I really brought letters, and two carts of things. But I don't know if it's gold in the car. Yang Congyi said with a smile.

"In addition to saying that he would send gold, he also wanted to invite us to be officials in the Jin Kingdom, I really had ideas, we were all dying people, and he wanted us to go to him, I am afraid that he wanted us to collect his body." Tang Xun smiled disdainfully and handed the letter to Yang Congyi.

"Don't curse people, although he is from the Jin country, he is also a good heart, he writes letters, sends things, and invites us to go to the Jin country, and he is also a kind and righteous person." After Yan Liang next year, he should be the emperor, if it weren't for the cold and dry in the north, it would be good to have time to take a look.

"What do I curse him for, he will surely die in two years." Tang Xun smiled mysteriously.

Yang Congyi suddenly remembered that last year on the edge of the Huai River, Tang Xun seemed to have said something similar, after saying that Yan Liang was about to die, he thought it was a joke at the time, but now when he heard him talk about it, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be another deep meaning in it. Tang Xun's family is engaged in the medicinal herb business, and he doesn't understand some of the medicine practices, can he see what kind of disease Wanyan Liang has with his complexion?

"How do you know that he is going to die, I see that he is alive and well, there is no disaster or disease, and it will be no problem to live for a few more decades."

"You don't believe it, you don't understand it, he will die in two years, you just know it." Tang Xun said very surely, and his appearance seemed to be certain.

"You tell me, how do you know if I believe it or not, whether I understand it or not." There are a lot of things to wait for Yan Liang to do, he can't die now, although Yang Congyi doesn't believe that he will die in two years, but he is also a little worried that it will come true, after all, Chinese medicine is really magical, and it is impossible to say what can be seen.

"You remember he had an arrow wound, how did he deal with it?"

"Use your family medicine for wounds, the effect is magical, I still remember that his injuries were healed in a few days. What's wrong? ”

"Let me tell you the truth, my wound medicine is to be used with a potion, otherwise it will be poisoned, there is nothing at the beginning, and after three years, the poison will enter the bone marrow, and there will be no cure. He is a golden man, and letting him live for three more years is already for the sake of saving him in order to maintain the peace of Song Jin. Now that the world is fine, it has nothing to do with us if he is dead. Tang Xun said these words in a calm tone.

"Poisoned? Is your medicine poisonous? Yang Congyi jumped up, unable to believe his ears.

"Yes, my father specially explained to me, this medicine is used to save life, but there are great side effects, there is a medicine in the prescription that contains highly toxic, but it is very effective in the treatment of trauma, the ancestor used precious medicinal materials to prepare another potion, which is used in conjunction with the treatment of injuries to resolve the toxicity of the injury medicine. This medicine is never taken out, so I just bring a little from home. ”

"What kind of medicine is that highly poisonous?" Yang Congyi asked eagerly, although he was not sure whether the wound medicine was poisonous or not, and whether Wan Yanliang was poisoned, but Wan Yanliang could not die, for the sake of safety, it was better to ask clearly and give him a reminder.

"I want to know, too, but my dad didn't tell me, it's all powder, and I can't tell the difference." After finishing speaking, he suddenly said: "You ask what you are doing here, this medicine has not been used for you, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Save Yan Liang's life again? He couldn't say that. Although Song and Jin negotiated peace, but the hatred of the people could not be dissolved, if it were not for the upper hand inside and outside the court led by Qin Hui, the soldiers and righteous soldiers would have gone to the north to kill the gold thief and avenge the emperor. This Wan Yan Liang is a royal family, and killing him can be regarded as a little hatred.

"Hahaha, Brother Tang is too worried, I'm just curious, I didn't expect that such a good wound medicine actually has poison, and poison can also increase the healing effect, it's really magical. Your ancestors are amazing! Yang Congyi vaguely past.

He didn't know whether the poison in the medicine was true or not, but he didn't believe that the poisoned person would suddenly be incurable without warning, Wan Yan Liang was a royal family, and he was not feeling well, so he naturally had a medical officer to diagnose and treat him, and it was a big deal that he wrote a letter to remind Wan Yan Liang to pay attention to it.

"He said that he gave us 10,000 taels of gold, and since it was delivered, we will accept it, anyway, it was robbed from us before, don't don't want it in vain. What do you say, Brother Yang? Tang Xun had a smile on his face.

"Okay, of course we have to accept it, the two of us worked hard to escort him back, and he is still trustworthy. But I'm afraid it's not appropriate to move the money here, two cars, you see how to deal with it. ”

"Just deposit it directly into the bank, just take the banknotes back, it's convenient and trouble-free."

Yes, paper money, how to look at this matter, there is a large amount of cash is not used, it can be stored in the bank, replaced with easy-to-carry banknotes, and then taken out when used, the Song Dynasty has long had paper money, long-distance large trade, it is very convenient to use paper money.

"I haven't been in the bank, and I don't understand the rules inside, if those two cars are gold, you can deal with them together, and I won't go." Yang Congyi directly pushed the matter to Tang Xun.

"It's okay, where is the money, take me to see it." Tang Xun immediately agreed.

After all, these things were given by the Jin people, and if they were seen, they would leave some handles, Yang Congyi wanted to develop in his career, and he couldn't leave this kind of hidden danger. And Tang Xun is different, he is a person who is satisfied with a half-official position, the world is peaceful between Song and Jin, even if he is recognized, no one can do anything with him.

However, there are countless petty officials like them in Lin'an City, who will notice them, they are afraid that they are too worried.

Yang Congyi called the businessman surnamed Wang, and after a brief communication between the three, Tang Xun left with the businessman surnamed Wang.

Back in the room, Yang Congyi took out the letter again and read it carefully, and learned from the letter that Wan Yanliang has now returned to Beijing as an official, and it is the time to return to the capital.

As a royal family, when you return to the capital, you will have the opportunity to enter the center of power, and presumably now Wan Yanliang has touched the corner of power. But the current emperor of the Jin State is in the prime of life, and it is estimated that he is less than forty years old, and the Song and Jin Dynasty do not fight, and the government should be stable. Wan Yanliang probably doesn't have the intention of seizing the throne yet, but when the opportunity comes, it is logical to kill the current emperor and become the emperor himself.

When Yan Liang ascended the throne as the emperor, it is estimated that he is still at sea, and whether he can be transferred to a civil official in the future depends on him to tear up the peace agreement and wave his troops south. Although I am not from the same country, I have known each other, so write a letter in advance to congratulate him.

Yang Congyi sat down and picked up the pen to write, wrote a few sentences, and felt inappropriate, and suddenly remembered that Wan Yanliang likes to compose poems, so write a poem for him.

After thinking about it for a long time, I wrote the manuscript, changed it again and again, and finally wrote: Try to recall the long road back then, and the gentleman looks forward to breaking the tide of Qiantang, saying that he needs to be fearless, and there is a period when the emperor can climb the township. Waving his hand to repel the obstacle fog, the soldiers swayed and the thorns were removed, looking south at the willow tail embankment of the West Lake, crossing the river and crossing the river like flat land. In the bitter cold land of the north, many diseases invade, if you feel unwell, timely diagnosis and treatment, I wish you well, good luck, take care of your body!

After writing, it was signed by Yang Lao Wu. Put the letter paper in the envelope and seal it with fire paint.

It's too late to finish all this, so I'm going to take a break and rest. After giving Yan Liang's letter, I can ask someone to send it to the Jin Embassy tomorrow, and now I should think about the question of how to build another fifty ships.

Now there are two major seaports in the Great Song Dynasty, Quanzhou Port and Guangzhou Port, the seaport goes to sea more, and some pointed bottom sea ships will be built, although the Hanoi shipping is developed, but the flat-bottomed river boats are used, the draft of the pointed bottom boat is deep, and it is easy to collide or run aground in inland navigation. If you want to build a sea ship, you can only go to Quanzhou to see if there are other shipyards to build sea ships, if you have enough time, you can also go to Guangzhou, if you don't have time to build a new ship, then buy an old ship.

It's just that the road is too far away, the time is limited, and most of the time has to be delayed on the road, leaving little time for the shipyard. The last time I went to Quanzhou for a month, if I went to Guangzhou for at least two months, the distance was not particularly far, but the main reason was that the horse was too slow, and I could only run two or three hundred miles a day. Although there are good horses in the north for sale in Lin'an, they are often ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and one million, which is prohibitive, and there are also grassland horses of hundreds and thousands of times, but the running speed and endurance are insufficient. If he wants to buy a horse with 10,000 yuan, he is really reluctant, and 10,000 yuan is enough for Xuanwei Army to eat for a month.

Time is so tight, if you want to complete the shipbuilding errand, you can only rest less time and hurry more.

On the second day, Tang Xun told Yang Congyi that he had stored two wagons of gold ingots in the money village overnight last night, no more, no less, a full 20,000 taels.

Then he gave Yang Congyi a stack of 100 taels of gold bills.
