Early in the morning, when Zhong Hao woke up, he saw Ke Yao sitting at the table in the guest room, holding her chin with her hands, looking at her with her big watery eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ke Yao saw Zhong Hao suddenly open his eyes, and his face couldn't help but turn red, and he was slightly shy. Ke Yao stood up, came to Zhong Hao's bed, and said crisply: "Son, you are awake, the slave family will serve you and dress!" ”

"No, uh...... That Ke Yao, you avoid it first, I'll dress myself! ”

Ke Yao blushed and retreated, Zhong Hao hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up.

Ke Yao took a basin of warm water and put it on a chair and said, "Childe, wash your face!" Ke Yao was still holding a white towel in her hand.

Zhong Hao rolled up his sleeves, washed his face, and felt that his head was much refreshed. Seeing that Zhong Hao finished washing his face, Ke Yao immediately handed over the white towel. Zhong Hao took the towel, wiped his face, and sighed in his heart: It seems to be really good to have a maid with vision and price to serve.

After washing, Zhong Hao went to call Cui Feng and they went to the lobby for breakfast. Ke Yao didn't come down together, first, she didn't want to sit at the same table with Zhong Hao and them, and second, she planned to take advantage of Zhong Hao's absence in the house to ask Aunt Wang, the proprietress of the restaurant, to help her change the medicine.

Zhong Hao and they hadn't finished breakfast yet, when they heard a hearty voice coming, "This is Brother Zhong?" ”

Zhong Hao followed the sound and looked back, and saw a young man wearing a white samurai robe with red lips and white teeth, looking at Zhong Hao with a smile.

Zhong Hao stood up and arched his hand: "Under Zhong Hao, dare to ask who the son is?" ”

The white-robed boy brother smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhong is fortunate to meet, junior brother Yang Huaiyu, I have come to invite Brother Zhong to come over for my father!" ”

Yang Huaiyu?! This name is still very familiar to Zhong Hao, who is familiar with the Yang family generals in later generations. This Yang Huaiyu should be Yang Wenguang's youngest son. Since he is Yang Wenguang's youngest son, it must be Yang Wenguang who sent him to invite him.

It turned out that Yang Wenguang didn't know how powerful the soju was yesterday, and he drank too violently, so he was really drunk. After Yang Wenguang woke up today, he thought of Zhong Haolai and felt that he was really a little slow. This Zhong Hao is now in charge of the training of troops in Tuntian, and the Cave River runs through Linzhou, Zhong Hao's rights and responsibilities and his own rights and responsibilities will definitely overlap in the future, and they will inevitably have to deal with each other often. This Zhong Hao is said to be the beloved son-in-law of the rich Xianggong, and he is also a person valued by Fan Gong, so he must be treated politely and reasonably. At present, Yang Wenguang is making amends, and today he specially asked his son to invite Zhong Hao to show his attention. And his son and Zhong Hao are the same age, maybe they are easy to deal with.

As for the place where Zhong Hao stayed, the Yang family wanted to inquire, so they naturally had ears and eyes to inform. As a military and political boss in Linzhou, if he can't even inquire about this bit of news, it would be really incompetent.

Zhong Hao's later life was influenced by book reviews and film and television dramas, and he still had a good impression of Yang Jiajiang's characters, and at this time, listening to Yang Huaiyu call himself his eldest brother very politely, he was still a little fluttering, and his good impression of Yang Huaiyu also increased. At that moment, Zhong Hao smiled and said: "Old General Yang is too polite, and I want to let General Yang Xiao come to invite him personally, I really don't dare to be in the future!" ”

Yang Huaiyu heard Zhong Hao call himself General Yang Xiao, and he also added a little favor to Zhong Hao, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhong must not call Yang Xiao General under the grass, Zhongrong under the grass word, Brother Zhong can call the little brother the grass word!" Brother Zhong take a look, if it's convenient now, let's go to the state office, okay? My father is anxious for Brother Zhong to come over! ”

"Okay, then let's go!"

Zhong Hao asked Cui Feng to wait for him at the inn, and he followed Yang Huaiyu to the state government to see Yang Wenguang.

……

Zhong Hao went to the state government with Yang Huaiyu, and Yang Huaiyu and Zhong Hao chatted very warmly along the way. The two talked about the New Year, Zhong Hao was really a year older than Yang Huaiyu, and Yang Huaiyu called Brother Zhong more smoothly. At the beginning, Yang Huaiyu deliberately made friends with Zhong Hao according to his father's intentions, but when he talked with Zhong Hao along the way, Zhong Hao knew a lot and talked extraordinary, which really made Yang Huaiyu a little admired, and this Brother Zhong was quite natural.

Although Zhong Hao knew that he and Yang Huaiyu were only shallow friends, Zhong Hao was really a little fluttering when Yang Huaiyu called him the eldest brother, and being the eldest brother of the Yang family general seemed to be quite a sense of achievement.

This time, Yang Wenguang did not receive Zhong Hao in the signing room of the Second Hall of the State Ya, but received Zhong Hao in the living room of the courtyard where the Hou Ya lived by himself. Obviously, Yang Wenguang did this with the intention of deliberately showing closeness. He figured out the huge prospects of the soju trade and Zhong Hao's unlimited future today, but he was very willing to have a good relationship with Zhong Hao, otherwise he would not let his son personally pick up Zhong Hao to meet him.

Zhong Hao saw Yang Wenguang and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen General Yang!" ”

Yang Wenguang smiled and said: "Wenxuan is here, you're welcome, sit down!" ”

Zhong Hao sat down on the chair next to the coffee table, and Yang Huaiyu stood behind Yang Wenguang.

After Zhong Hao sat down, his own maid came up for tea. Zhong Hao picked up the teacup, opened the lid of the bowl, and saw that it was the kind of tea with foam that literati often drink, and tasted it, the taste was a little strange, and he was really unaccustomed to drinking it, so he put it on the coffee table, looked at his nose and nose, and waited for Yang Wenguang to speak. Zhong Hao felt that Yang Wenguang suddenly became a little enthusiastic about himself, and personally sent Yang Huaiyu to invite him, I am afraid that he must have felt that the soju business has huge benefits, otherwise it would not be so. Since this soju is his own, Zhong Hao also calmed down and waited for Yang Wenguang's conditions. At this time, the more calm you are, the more you can take the initiative.

Yang Wenguang originally thought that Zhong Hao was in a hurry, and everything was a hasty creation, since he brought soju to his place and wanted to do business jointly, it must be very urgent, but he didn't expect Zhong Hao to be young, and his qi cultivation kung fu was quite good, and he was quite calm when he sat down. The two looked at each other speechless for a while, and sat down for a while, Yang Wenguang couldn't help but ask first: "Wenxuan's soju is made by himself?" Why is the wine so strong, I have never seen such a strong wine! ”

Zhong Hao said: "This wine is made in Xia, that is, the "natural residence" in Qingzhou is also taught in Xia, such a strong soju can be regarded as unique in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what General Yang thinks of this soju?" Do you want to do some business with Xia Ren with this soju? "If you want to work with people, you need to show what you can do. When Zhong Hao was in Qingzhou, he often dealt with literati and scholars, for fear that others would know that the secret technique of "natural residence" was taught by himself, and he was afraid that others would say that he was not doing his job, but when dealing with a military general like Yang Wenguang, he naturally did not have such scruples.

Yang Huaiyu listened to Zhong Hao's words, and said with a smile on the side: "Brother Zhong is too angry, since you and I are brothers, then don't call General Yang and General Yang Daddy, it seems that it is more appropriate to call Uncle Shi!" "This is playing the emotional card, although Yang Huaiyu is young, he was born in a family of generals and has been educated since he was a child, which is not comparable to ordinary young people. Of course, he admires Zhong Hao a little, but he really wants to get closer to him!

Yang Wenguang listened to Yang Huaiyu's words, said yes with his jaw, and said with a smile: "That is, Wenxuan always calls General Yang so-and-so, but it seems to be raw, since you and Huaiyu have been engaged, you should call me Uncle Shi!" ”

Zhong Hao said in his heart: What did he engage with Yang Huaiyu, he and he only met for the first time, although he has always called himself eldest brother, but Zhong Hao didn't think that this was an engagement, Zhong Hao felt that this was not a polite title!

However, there is really not much resistance to his sudden addition of Uncle Zhong Hao. First, this Yang family will be a positive character that he has heard and seen since he was a child, and he still has a very good impression of them. Second, there is no harm in getting engaged to Yang Huaiyu and having a good relationship with Yang Wenguang. In the future, I will have to fight on the boundary of Linzhou, and it is indispensable to deal with Linzhou and Yang Wenguang, and it is still necessary to have a good relationship.

At that moment, Zhong Hao followed Yang Huaiyu's words, got up and solemnly revisited Yang Wenguang with the gift of a junior: "The little nephew has seen Uncle Yang Shi!" ”

"Hehe, Wen Xuan doesn't have to be polite!" Yang Wenguang is also quite happy, and he also hopes to have a good relationship with Zhong Hao. Although Zhong Hao has nothing now, he has the weight of these bigwigs, Fan Gong and Fu Xianggong, and the future is unlimited. After all, he is a Wenchen, and he still has a future than Yang Huaiyu, a son of a family of generals who can only be a military general. He really hoped that his son and Zhong Hao could make more friends.

Besides, it's just that this soju business is afraid that it will be very profitable in the future, and it is indispensable to have a good relationship with Zhong Hao, after all, this soju is now exclusively owned by Zhong Hao.

Since his son and Zhong Hao are engaged, Yang Wenguang and Zhong Hao talked a lot more cordially, and they spoke a lot, and then Zhong Hao's question just now, he replied: "Wenxuan's soju is really as hot as fire, and Uncle Shi really likes it." To tell the truth, Uncle Shi is also a person who drinks a lot, that is, the strongest 'Pear Blossom White' wine in Tokyo, and he is not drunk when he drinks two jars, but yesterday's soju, the small half of the altar put Uncle Shi and I down, and it was very enjoyable! The northwest land is bitter cold, and this shochu is definitely a bestseller! My Yang family also has some caravans, if Wenxuan is interested, we can do some business together! ”

The generals of the Great Song Dynasty are now degraded greatly, and many generals have long since lost their children who can be generals. Most of them are content with wealth and embarrassment. The Yang family is one of the few generals who still have outstanding children who can be generals. Like the Gao family, the Shi family, and the Cao family, there are basically no outstanding talents. Nowadays, most of them have their own caravans and businesses, grabbing money for their own enjoyment.

In fact, this is also related to the policy of the Great Song Dynasty. Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's way to gain the world is to seize power by military generals, and after he came to power, he naturally didn't want his generals to follow his own example, and do this again. Through the "glass of wine to release the military power", let those generals under him hand over the military power and enjoy the wealth and contentment. If they are allowed to enjoy wealth, they must be satisfied in all aspects of money. Many Jiangmen families have their own exclusive businesses and various caravans, and these businesses and caravans have great preferential treatment in many policies and taxes, which bring huge benefits to Jiangmen families. It is not surprising that the Shomen family, while enjoying wealth, quickly degenerated.

As a family of generals, the Yang family naturally also has its own business and caravan. It is undeniable that the Yang family is still absolutely sincere to the Great Song Dynasty, but the interests and money that should be fought for still have to be fought for. They don't eat the fireworks of the world, they also want to eat and drink, and they still enjoy material life.

"Then the little nephew will sit in this business with Uncle Shi, and we will add two to five of the profits at that time, and divide them equally!"

Yang Wenguang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, it seems that this emotional card is played very effectively. This soju is unique to Zhong Hao, and it will definitely make a huge profit in the future, Yang Wenguang feels that Zhong Hao is responsible for brewing, and he is responsible for sales, and it would be good to get 30% of the profit, but he didn't expect Zhong Hao to give up half of the profit, and he couldn't help but be a little overjoyed.

Of course, in fact, Zhong Hao originally planned to give up half of his profits to Yang Wenguang, not because of any emotional card, but because he had many other aspects that Yang Wenguang needed to take care of, and giving up half of his profits would be regarded as a gift to make a good relationship.

There are two main places in the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, one is in Shunning Village of the Security Army, and the other is Gaoping Village of Zhenrong Army.

However, the trade in the field is strictly controlled by the government, and the government has priority in trade. The superintendent and the governor of the state army in the area where the field is under the jurisdiction of the district are also set up to inspect the goods and collect commercial taxes.

For example, the Shunning Zhaichang of the security army between the Song and Xia Dynasty and the Gaoping Zhaichang of the Zhenrong Army both stipulated that ten small businessmen would settle the insurance and carry half of the goods to the other party's Rongchang for trading each time. The big merchants were all detained, waiting for the other party's merchant tribute to come.

The commercial tax of the field is a large amount of financial revenue of the government, and the tax amount of the trade is quite heavy, and there are also officials who assess the grade of goods, contract and pay, and collect the tooth tax. Moreover, the two parties to the transaction must be mediated by the official and must not have direct contact.

Moreover, there are strict regulations on the types of commodities traded in the market, and it is strictly forbidden to trade privately in Western Xia such as war horses.

Zhong Hao wants to go to the security army and the Zhenrong army to trade, not to mention the distance, it is quite troublesome to enter the field trade, and it is impossible to get war horses.

Song and Xia border trade, in addition to these two fields, there are also some and cities.

Relatively speaking, these cities have more private trade and less official trade. Most of the small merchants in the border areas of the Song and Xia Dynasty chose to trade with these and the market.

There are five or six cities in the territory of Western Xia, such as Liangjin, Wubao, and Yinxing, and most of the cities in the Great Song Dynasty are located in some border fortresses in Linzhou.

Of course, there is also a city in Linzhou City, and many party members will come to the city to buy and sell things. The party businessman Zhong Hao met yesterday was afraid that he came to Linzhou City and City to buy and sell things.

Of course, caravans that come to trade with the city will also be strictly inspected before leaving the customs, and it is difficult to get out of the customs for strictly prohibited privately traded items such as war horses.

The profit in Linzhou is not as lucrative as going to the Western Xia, mainly because the demand for Western Xia products in the Great Song Dynasty is far less than the demand of the Western Xia people for the products of the Great Song Dynasty.

It was also thought that every time Xia launched an offensive and disputes with the border people, the Song threatened to close the field and prohibit communication with the city.

Zhong Hao can actually sell soju in the city and the city of Linzhou by himself, but the profit is not as lucrative as going to the silver star and the city. Selling it to those Western Xia merchants here, I'm afraid that they will make all the profits.

And to trade with the city of Yinxing in Western Xia, I am afraid that Zhong Hao's conditions will not be met, there is not enough force to guarantee, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do business, and there may be a lot of harassment and looting by the Xia army and the Tibetan tribe along the way.

Moreover, even if you go to Yinxing and City, it is difficult to wait for the war horse you want, this smuggling caravan that relies on the Yang family. Besides, Zhong Hao and Yang Wenguang are in the soju business, and making money is secondary, and the main thing is to establish close ties with Yang Wenguang. (To be continued.) )
