It took seven days for the old lady to enter the funeral, the old man chose to be buried with the deceased husband, the mausoleum was built a long time ago, and when the day came, after digging up, the old lady was carried in and buried with the old Taishan of the folded family.

These seven days are the most gloomy seven days after Yang Qi arrived in the Song Dynasty.

Before She Saihua had time to enter filial piety, the old mother died, which made She Saihua very sad, almost every day was washed with tears, and she fainted several times from crying.

In later generations, Yang Qi has seen a lot of this kind of scene, and he always feels that when the old man is alive, the children are not good at filial piety, good companionship, and crying after the old man dies, which seems very contrived and fake.

But when this kind of thing really fell on his head, he felt that this crying was not pretentious at all, and it was not fake at all.

People always don't pay attention to it when they hold family affection in their hands, perhaps because it takes too long, so people always subconsciously ignore it.

But when it is really lost, it will be clear what it has lost.

She Saihua's grief Yang Qi couldn't comfort him, because he himself was also grieving.

Lao Yang has never been a very comforting person, so his She Saihua is no different.

Fortunately, Cao Lin arrived in time and took over the matter of comforting She Saihua, otherwise Yang Qi really didn't know what to do.

Today is the day of Heling.

It's a big day.

The descendants of the Zhe family and the descendants of the Yang family knelt down in front of the mausoleum.

The angel of the imperial court announced the edict of Zhao Guangyi to seal the old lady of the folding family.

Even though the Zhejia family is now located in the northwest, the name still belongs to the Great Song Dynasty.

The old lady of the folded family also carries the name of a lady with an edict.

'Yide! ’

These two words are the nicknames given by Zhao Guangyi to the old lady of the Zhe family.

These two specifications are directly chasing the nickname of the queen mother, which makes people a little overwhelmed.

Zhi Yuxun and Yang Qi, the two bigwigs in the northwest, couldn't understand when Zhao Guangyi became so generous.

If you don't understand it, you don't understand it, since the imperial court has given such a lofty title, then they have no reason to refuse.

After prostrating his head and giving thanks.

The broken dragon stone at the entrance of the mausoleum fell inch by inch.

Hoarse cries rang out again.

But no one can stop the broken dragon stone that falls inch by inch.

When the Broken Dragon Stone falls, there is basically no possibility of opening.

This marks that from now on, there is really a separation between yin and yang.

buried the old lady of the Zhe family, and everyone returned to the Zhefu with empty hearts.

After the funeral, it was time to separate.

A sumptuous feast is a parting gift for all the guests.

After everyone drinks high, it is inevitable that there will be some profligateness.

The shouts of shouts, fist strokes, and amusing laughter diluted the deep sadness.

Zhi Yuxun instructed Zhi Yuqing to greet the guests, he invited Yang Qi alone, and the two of them gathered in the study to talk secretly.

In Origohoon's study, there are not only chairs, benches, and desks, but also a large ondol.

Oriyuxun sat cross-legged on the kang with a small low table on which two appetizers and a pot of wine were placed.

After Yang Qi entered, Zhi Yuxun rubbed his face, wiped away the fatigue on his face, and beckoned Yang Qi to go to the kang.

"Come over and have a good chat with my uncle."

seems to have remembered the reminder of the old lady of the Zhe family, and Zhe Yuxun is a lot closer to Yang Qi's self-proclaim.

Yang Qi was not polite, took off his boots and went to the kang.

It is impossible to burn a kang in summer.

There is a layer of mats on the kang, and it is very comfortable to sit on it.

Zhen Yuxun wanted to pour wine for Yang Qi, but Yang Qi snatched the wine jug, "How can there be a reason for an uncle to pour wine for his nephew......"

Complaining a little affectionately, Yang Qi poured wine for Zhe Yuxun and poured himself a glass.

The wine is aged, and the liquor is amber, like the color of black tea.

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and you know that it is a good wine when you smell it.

Zhi Yuxun saw Yang Qi's sniffing movement, the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and raised his wine glass, "The flower carvings that have been treasured for more than fifty years, taste ......"

The voice landed, and Zhen Yuxun drank it all.

Yang Qi took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he took the wine glass and drank it all.

The wine is definitely a good wine, and when you drink it in one sip, it will leave a fragrant fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.

Zhi Yuxun smiled and motioned to Yang Qi to pour him another glass, picked up the wine glass, and said with emotion: "When your grandmother gave birth to your mother, I didn't know that when the maids in the house said that when the southerners were born, they would bury a jar of wine, and when the daughter got married, take it out and drink it.

Your grandmother forced your grandfather to get two carts of Huadiao wine and buried it in the backyard. When your mother gets married, take it out and feast the guests.

When your mother and your father got married, it was a war, and they were in a hurry, and they forgot to get up the wine.

This wine has been stored for decades.

When I dug it up a few days ago, it became a lump of wine cream, and it tasted really good when I put it on the new wine. ”

A little old thing, Yang Qi was dumbfounded when he listened.

Yang Qi felt that what Zhen Yuxun said was a bit untrue.

The old lady of the folded family buried the wine back then, and eighty percent of it was a whim, and then he forgot about it.

Others probably forgot about it.

After all, during the Song Dynasty, transportation was not convenient, and it was very common for one place to be customary, and one place to speak.

Fuzhou is thousands of miles away from the south, and the customs in the middle are even greater.

It is a common thing to occasionally learn the customs of the southerners and leave them behind after a long time.

There is a bit of moisture in the old things, Yang Qi is too lazy to care, the Huadiao wine that has been buried for more than fifty years is a rare thing, and it is necessary for him to drink two more glasses.

It seems that I want to drink the taste of fifty years from the sake.

Zhi Yuxun felt that his feelings were too bad, and it was time to talk about business, so he pretended to ask casually: "Zhao Guangyi suddenly became so generous, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Yang Qi was stunned and put down the wine glass in his hand.

He was not a fool, and he quickly guessed that there must be a purpose for Zhen Yuxun to ask him to speak alone.

Faced with the question of folding Yuxun, Yang Qi frowned and thought about it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something." ”

Zhi Yuxun smiled implicitly: "Then do you want to hear your uncle's opinion on this matter?" ”

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You say." ”

Zhi Yuxun took a sip of wine, ate two mouthfuls of food, and said in a low voice: "Just like you said, if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something." The nickname 'Yide', even if it is an ordinary queen mother, may not be worthy of it.

Zhao Guangyi is suddenly so generous, the picture must be not small.

If my uncle expected it to be true, it must be related to the Northern Expedition to Liao. ”

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said in amazement: "You mean...... Zhao Guangyi is paving the way for the Northern Expedition to Liao, and when he really goes to war with Liao, will he let us join the war? ”

Zhen Yuxun grinned, "That's for sure. Let's fold the Yang family, although they are now self-reliant, but they are still Song Chen in essence. The Northern Expedition to Liao and the capture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were things that the two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi had been plotting for decades.

Whether the sixteen states of Yanyun can be recovered directly affects the national capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangyi's first two Northern Expeditions ended in failure.

This third Northern Expedition naturally has to be a success.

If not, he would not want to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in his life.

You should understand the truth that there are only three things.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyi must clear all obstacles and gather all the strength that can be gathered. ”

Zhi Yuxun pointed at Yang Qi, and then pointed at himself, "You and I are now sitting in the northwest, and the total number of soldiers and horses under our command is as high as 400,000. If we are the vanguard, it is equivalent to adding a strong arm to Zhao Guangyi's northern expedition to Liao.

Tell me, can Zhao Guangyi do without us? ”

Yang Qi nodded with a deep groan.

What Zhi Yuxun said is reasonable, and the analysis is also the Tao.

Even if Yang Qi encounters this situation, he will make the same choice as Zhao Guangyi.

Using someone else's hand to help you build your own career is a sure-fire deal.

It's just that Yang Qi has some doubts in his heart.

"This doesn't fit Zhao Guangyi's character? With Zhao Guangyi's character, he will definitely adhere to the policy of first securing the inside before the outside world. ”

Zhen Yuxun guessed: "Uncle thinks that this is probably related to Zhao Guangyi being in a coma for a month before. ”

After a month in a coma, he suddenly became spiritual?

Was it crossed?

Yang Qi secretly guessed.

After all, he's a traverser.

The first case of crossing happened to him, and he can understand that others have been crossed.

However, Yang Qi quickly rejected the idea.

If he is really a traverser, when facing the current situation, he will definitely be able to easily dig out the fact that Yang Qi is a traverser.

Those who are gloomy in their minds, or those who have other plans, will definitely secretly send someone to carefully investigate Yang Qi.

Then the southern country will inevitably be excavated.

But it is obvious that even if Nanguo appears on a semi-public level now, Zhao Guangyi still does not find out that Nanguo belongs to Yang Qi.

This is not to say that Zhao Guangyi is stupid.

It can only be said that it is a blind and unbelievable.

After all, it took two years to make such a thing as a country in the south, and even if it was told to others, others might not believe it.

If the founding of the country is really so easy to build, everyone will not have to fight for it, fight and kill.

Since it has been concluded that Zhao Guangyi cannot be crossed, it can only mean that Zhao Guangyi has been in a coma for a month and is really enlightened.

Speaking of which, forcing Zhao Guangyi into a coma is also Yang Qizao's sin.

Unexpectedly, he indirectly helped Zhao Guangyi.

Yang Qi was thinking wildly in his heart, and Zhi Yuxun naturally couldn't guess it, after analyzing Zhao Guangyi's purpose, Zhi Yuxun asked tentatively: "Good nephew, tell me, Zhao Guangyi really wants us to help fight Liao, how should we fight?" How much effort does it take? ”

Before the Yang family was destroyed, the Liao State could not threaten the Zhi family, so Zhi Yuxun spoke with confidence.

It's just a fight against Liao, and it has no impact on the Zhe family.

If it's good, the Ori family doesn't mind helping.

The meaning of Zhe Yuxun's question to Yang Qi was to ask Yang Qi if he could get benefits.

Take a few percent of the benefits, and give a few percent of the strength.

Yang Qi glanced at Fold Yuxun and muttered: "It's hard to say how much strength you have, and I don't think it's necessary for the Fold family to spend their strength on the Liao Kingdom." ”

Zhi Yuxun was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Yang Qi said with a smile: "To the east and north, it is my territory." Therefore, in the northeast direction, there is no room for folding. Even if there is a plot against Liao, it is my business. If the folded family is mixed in, at most it will mix some money and food, and it will not be mixed with too many benefits. ”

Zhi Yuxun half-squinted his eyes and asked, "Listen to what you mean, go to the northeast, and don't let us touch our family." That is to say, you have taken a fancy to them? ”

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled: "How big a mouth, how much food to eat." I didn't think about taking all the good stuff. I just think that since the Zhejia family has occupied most of the party's items, it should develop nearby. ”

Zhi Yuxun nodded thoughtfully and said, "You tell your uncle about it carefully." ”

Yang Qi groaned: "It's not okay to go east, and it's not okay to go south. Then consider going north or west. ”

Zhen Yuxun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The north is a bitter cold place, and it is useless to ask for it. The western part of the country is full of nations, and there is a vast desert, which is very barren, and it does not benefit much. ”

Yang Qi shook his head indifferently, "Then you are wrong, although it is bitter cold to the north, it is precisely because of the bitter cold that the population is sparse, and these places are relatively primitive."

The fields have been uncultivated for thousands of years and are exceptionally fertile. There are countless trees, flowers, cattle, sheep and horses. There are also gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals that have not been cultivated.

With a little effort, you can easily amass a huge amount of wealth.

Although there are many countries to the west, they are basically some small countries, and there are few people who can resist them.

The wealth accumulated by the western nations over a hundred years or thousands of years can be easily obtained.

And there are many minerals.

Across the desert, further west, you will find a large expanse of land that does not belong to the Great Song Dynasty.

Where is the wealth more staggering.

It is said that the people there like to decorate houses, temples, and so on with gold. ”

Zhi Yuxun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his face was incredulous.

Yang Qi hit the railway while it was hot: "Uncle, take a long-term view, this world is far bigger than you think." Everyone always thinks that where there are no people or sparsely populated, they are barren and pitiful. It seems that there is no place in the world that can compare to the land of the Central Plains.

This is a wrong idea.

If nothing else, let's talk about Jiaozhi, Dali, and Yongzhou.

These places, which are believed to be inhabited by the Nanban, are far more abundant than those of the Central Plains.

Everyone thinks that people are very poor, but if they haven't seen it with their own eyes, how do they know if they are really poor?

I went to see with my own eyes, there are countless gold mines in Cochin, and the grain there grows three times a year. If you throw a handful of rice down, you can easily get a harvest without intensive cultivation.

Ivory piles are piled up, spice trucks are loaded, and precious wood is piled up in patches.

There is also Dali, in a small part of Dali, the gold ore and copper ore produced far exceed that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Can you imagine that the output of Dali copper mine alone can easily solve the problem of lack of copper in the Great Song Dynasty? It can be seen how rich the copper mine is in Dali. ”
