"I also know, but when Brother Xiao Tang led the Liangshan brothers to attack Nazhujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang in Dulonggang, Dongping Mansion belongs to the rule of Jingxi Road, and if it is not the boundary of Donglu that I can help in secret, I must also beware of the military commander and army on that side...... Ah, yes, since my brother has been running on Jingdong Road these days, I just hope that I can come to stay here for a few days if I have more time. ”

Hua Rong instructed Yan Qing again, but Yan Qing, who was very good at observing words and feelings, found that Hua Rong, who had always been free and simple, was a little embarrassed at this time, so he asked: "Brother Hua Rong, do you have any good things in Qingzhou, do you want to teach the brothers to know?" ”

"But it's not a very important thing......

Although Hua Rong said so, but his face was already a little embarrassed, and after a while, Hua Rong said: "Some time ago, I went back to the former residence of Qingfeng Village to visit, and talked to some old neighbors and friends, when there was a family in the village Cui family also often took care of our two brothers and sisters, and now that Cui Yuan saw that I returned to my hometown in fine clothes, and did the East Road Soldiers and Horses Commander like a military dispatch, so he found a matchmaker to match, to marry his daughter to me...... It's all the old knowledge of Qingfeng Village, and I also know that Cui's daughter is a virtuous person, to... He also agreed to this family business. ”

Yan Qing raised her eyebrows when she heard Hua Rong say it, and said with a smile: "Oh? That's a great thing! Brother Hua Rong first married his sister to Guan Zhong, and he should marry a lover and start a family earlier, and I will definitely report this happy event to Brother Xiao Tang earlier...... It's just that when Pang Wanchun Pang Zhai of Baiyun Mountain on Liangzhejiang Road went to Beijing to visit his brother before, he didn't want his sister to do green forest work for a long time, so he entrusted Pang Qiuxia to settle in Bianliang, Tokyo. I can naturally see through his thoughts, the little sister of the Pang family is a child of the rivers and lakes, although she is not as gentle and gentle as ordinary ladies, but she is frank and straightforward, I thought that her temperament was also compatible with Brother Huarong. The one who can get into the eyes of Brother Hua Rong must be a very virtuous and gentle woman, but you are looking for a suitable beauty to marry in your hometown, but you are afraid of the master of Pang Zhai...... Even the little sister of the Pang family was about to be disappointed. ”

Hua Rong smiled slightly and said: "That Pang girl is a good woman, and she will definitely be able to find a wishful husband, but since I don't have that fate with her, why bother to do one, but I will miss each other for life." Xiao Yi likes to talk about others, although you have a prodigal son's nickname, you only care about three tiles and two houses, causing many women to worry about you, if you talk about age, you shouldn't have found a suitable partner to marry earlier, and your mind should be determined. ”

"I just want to have a leisurely time, everyone has their own fate, and the brothers have a big family, but it may not be suitable for Xiao Yi to ......"

Yan Qing said leisurely, and then said to Hua Rong with a smile: "I will return to Xiao's family set earlier, and when I send the flying pigeon to pass the book, I will definitely report such a happy event to Brother Xiao Tang, estimating the time, presumably Brother Xiao Tang has also arrived in Banqiao Town, Mizhou now......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

As the most important treaty port for the management of maritime foreign maritime trade in the northern government in the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao Tang knew for the first time that the merchants of Banqiao Town, Mizhou were gathered and prosperous, and the storefronts that were connected together with hook-up roofs were the most important in the early days, and with the growing size of Xiao Tang's name, there was Yang Xu, the son of Yuanyi, who was the best at doing business and gathering wealth, in Bianjing, and there were also Xiao An and other stewards in Mizhou who personally inquired, and now they are the largest merchants in the sea in the territory around the Bosi of Banqiao Town. It has long been a business name under Xiao Tang's name.

"Young master, there are many noble things, and I can't see the little one for a long time, but Xiao Yi has a good life, and he can often accompany the young master to help him.

In the past, Xiao An, the young master of the Xiao family, was a three-tailed pheasant, and Yang Xu had the ability to call the business, and he had personally experienced it for a long time in the territory of Mizhou City, and his words and deeds had matured a lot. But after Xiao An reunited with the young master who took off the mask of the pig and appeared in Mizhou again in his original identity, he couldn't help but reveal a little bit of his gag back then. Among the many leaders and stewards under Xiao Tang's command, Xiao An is also one of the few people who are used to calling him by his old titles, which also makes Xiao Tang feel nostalgic in his heart.

Xiao Tang patted Xiao An on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xiao An, now you and I have no distinction between master and servant, since we have gathered together with the capable people and people with lofty ideals in all places, we are all commensurate with our own brothers when there is no one else." Yang Xu and your brothers who are good at managing money are taken care of, this time I came to Banqiao Town, Mizhou, to cover people's eyes, secondly, you and I have not seen each other for a long time, so it is appropriate to talk more about the old feelings, and third, you said that the two capable people you have recruited, I really need to meet them in person, and see if I can win them over and talk to them, and teach those two people to know what we are secretly planning. ”

At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi also stepped forward with a big grin, he grabbed Xiao An's shoulder without seeing it and patted it hard, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry!" There are a few of our brothers who often go in and out of Banqiao Town, and the boat business can also help some Xiao An stewards, the business business is smooth sailing, and there are no eye-opening birds in the territory of Mizhou who dare to come to beg for wildfire food. Xiao An is in charge, don't you say? ”

Xiao An's mouth grinned, and he quietly shook his body again, in the past, when he was in Mizhou, this living Yama always had to laugh and tease, and Xiao An, who was indeed not very good at dealing with reckless characters in the green forest, couldn't help but have a headache, seeing that this Ruan Xiaoqi was going to joke in front of the young master, Xiao An was also busy changing his words, and told Xiao Tang about the development of shipping matters in Mizhou over the years.

Cui Muyuan, a Korean who had also received the favor of Xiao Tang back then, was later regarded as a grateful retribution. As his two younger brothers in Goryeo, he picked up some aristocratic merchants who also made a living as a seaman, and he also walked around the commercial market in Banqiao Town under the name of Xiao Tang very frequently. With the expansion of the shipping business, in addition to trading some local sought-after commercial goods with the Goryeo Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao An also set up a line with several merchants in Dongying Fusang, in addition to transporting materials and goods to Liaodong and other places in the north through the name of mutual shipping, whether it was with Goryeo or Japanese maritime dealings, it was enough for Xiao Tang to make a lot of money and open up several commercial routes with rolling financial resources.

Later, Xiao An also met with Cui Muyuan in person a few times, and the Goryeo scholar who spoke the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty was very inarticulate, but in the past few years, he has become more and more fluent in Chinese. Xiao An also heard Choi Muyuan say that he was willing to emulate the ancestor of the Choi clan in Gyeongju, and was also respected by the North and Korean academic circles as the originator of Chinese literature in later generations.

It's just that in recent years, Cui Muyuan has suddenly disappeared, and I don't know if there was any accident during the boat crossing between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo. It's just that the Goryeo scholars who had a few encounters back then, Xiao Tang didn't care very much, but Xiao An said that he found out from Cui Muyuan's mouth that the Goryeo domestic and Jurchen tribes rose in Liaodong, and successively defeated the Liao army, and some people in the DPRK and China also planned to take the opportunity to go north, encroach on the territory in the direction of the Yalu River, and even covet the territory of Goguryeo's "homeland" claimed by the Goryeo people in the north.

Xiao Tangxin said that what should come will always come, back then, there was a great Liao in the north, and several times defeated the Goryeo Kingdom, so that the guys did not dare to look north to Liaodong again. Now that the strength of the Great Liao State is declining, the Goryeo people will inevitably have to move when they see that it is a good time, but when Wanyan Aguta led the Jurchen Alliance with inferior numbers and equipment, they were able to beat the Goryeo army to the head, and since they want to win or lose with the Jin State in the future, the Jishan Army and the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong tribes who guarded the Haizhen Prefectures such as Phidao and Baozhou can also play a role in tempering the soldiers of the Goryeo army when they meet with the Goryeo army sooner or later.

When he was thinking about it, Zhang Shun suddenly walked into the hall of Xiao Tang's mansion not far from Bosi, Banqiao Town, and said, "Brother, the gentleman from Bianliang, Tokyo, has also arrived in front of the mansion, just waiting to conspire with my brother. ”

Zhang Shun then revealed the name of that gentleman, Xiao Tang smiled slightly when he saw it, and secretly said that the scholar who was originally a deviant, since he has now cut off the idea of serving the imperial court, it should not be difficult to lure him into joining the gang.
