It's been sunny for a few days, and the road surface is still muddy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the suspension bridge in Xin'anzhuang, a huge convoy gathered, still the kind of heavy and deep rut wheeled carts, each car, are inserted with the word "money" embroidered wolf tooth dart flag, the horse is strong, and the chest is hung with a yellow and clear shining copper bell.

As soon as the wind blows, it rings and rings with the wind.

The wheels were covered with mud and sand, and many men with breeches, leggings and wrist guards, and crimson belts around their waists were guarding the chariots, each of them wearing red tasseled felt hats, cloaks, and double plugs, all riding horses, and their faces were full of dust and haggardness.

However, everyone is still fierce and capable, just like the dart scene that Yang He saw at the beginning.

Uncle Huang, the ninth master, his eldest son Qian Likui, his fourth son Qian Lijue, and his daughter Qian Sanniang were on the horse, looking curiously at the Zhuangzi in front of him, as well as everything around him.

Uncle Huang is okay, he has been to Xin'anzhuang before, although after the New Year, there have been changes around Zhuangzi, but he finally has a psychological preparation.

Jiu Ye and the others looked at everything around them, and their eyes were full of amazement and admiration.

Yang He led his henchmen out of the suspension bridge, Uncle Huang, Jiu Ye and others all dismounted, and Uncle Huang stepped forward with a smile: "Hahahaha, Yang Xianggong, no, now I want to call Lord Yang, and I haven't congratulated Lord Yang on his promotion." Huang also luckily fulfilled his mission, and on the order of my young lady, he escorted all the commercial goods on the manifest to him. I also heard that Lord Yang was promoted, and my young lady wrote a congratulatory letter and prepared a number of congratulatory gifts. ”

Yang He said with a smile: "Steward Huang has worked hard all the way, they are all old acquaintances, why bother to see outside, just call it as usual." Thank you for the kindness of Miss Guifu, this mere nine-grade official position, what a lot of care, she is too polite. ”

The two of them are smiling and laughing, they are all affectionate, and now Yang He and Wang Qiong'e are cooperating to enter the honeymoon period, and he needs this big-chested Zhang Luo.

But this turbulent waves also pulled a big customer, how can it not be intimate? Not to mention anything else, among the orders issued by Yang He to her, there is an item of 40,000 catties of refined iron, and this alone is a big deal of more than 6,000 taels of silver.

Then all kinds of grain, cloth, salt, sugang steel, copper, sulfur, lead, wool, cotton, tung oil, cowhide, etc., as well as white lead and black lead, that is, graphite and zinc, although some of them are also from other places, but most of them are supplied by Wang Qiong'e.

Over the course of a year, just by doing his Yanghe business, you can have a lot of income.

And look at it this way, the annual orders will only be more, not less, and the closer the cooperation between the two sides, it is just a matter of course.

Uncle Huang, as Wang Qiong'e's henchman, still watched her grow up, and he was one of the very close figures around her.

Of course, it is a good idea to make friends with Yang He.

For example, last year, when he heard that Xin'anzhuang needed a large amount of coal, he contacted the coal merchants in Xuzhou for him, where coke originally needed 221 tons of silver, and he talked about 18 taels of silver per ton.

It has also narrowed the relationship between each other, and also allowed Xuzhou coal merchants to gain the market and increase their contacts, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

This is also the reason why although Yang He is arrogant, his popularity is getting better and better, and more and more people rely on him for food.

Many small shops only have a turnover of a few hundred taels a year, and he Yang He casually fingers down anything, which is enough for them to eat and drink all year round.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yang He looked at Jiu Ye and the others with a smile.

Ninth Master Qian Zhongyong also had a smile on his face, he was still broad-shouldered and broad-backed, with an extraordinary spirit, a strong bow on his back, and a crimson cloak, but faintly, Yang He could see that he was tired and haggard that went deep into the bone marrow, and there were more and denser beards on his cheeks.

The cloak was also full of mud and rotten water, mottled and mottled, and many of the traces were still bloodstains.

His eldest son, Qian Likui, was still calm, but his sideburns under the felt hat were scattered, and his face was covered with mud and water, with exhaustion.

His fourth son, Qian Lijue, was like a mud monkey, looking left and right, curious and faintly envious.

In the end, it was his daughter Qian Sanniang Qian Guse.

When Yang He first saw her, she was wearing a red tasseled felt hat, a cloak, dressed like a man, and still wearing a red cloak at this time, but wrapped her hair in a scarf, somewhat like a daughter's family, what remained unchanged was that her face was still cold and beautiful, and her legs were slender.

She had a heavy mace on her horse, a double prong at her waist, and a heavy sword pinned to her, presumably a two-handed heavy sword.

The waist is wrapped with a cloth scarf, which shows the devil's figure even more, concave and convex, and has a heroic and cool taste.

She stood there, like a crowd of chickens, and a lot of men around her were a lot shorter than her.

However, at this time, there was some muddy water on the face of this cold woman, and there was also some mud on her hair, but the dart team was walking outside, and she did not wash her face for the sake of protecting her face, so her whole body was only slightly better than her brother Qian Lijue.

She didn't make a sound, sometimes glancing at Yang He, but when Yang He came, she turned her eyes away.

Finally, there was a rather stout woman beside her, also wearing a cloak, wrapped in a scarf, and a pair of short axes pinned to her waist, heavy and sharp, this woman should be less than twenty years old, a little delicate, but with a long scar on the right side of her face.

Looking at Jiu Ye and the others, Yang He walked over with a smile, and he arched his hand and said, "Jiu Ye, after a few months, you and I will see each other again, don't come unharmed?" ”

The Ninth Master also bowed his hand and laughed: "I've seen Yang Xianggong...... Oh, Lord Yang, alas, it's hard to say, but Qian can't be compared with adults. Look at this Zhuangzi, look at the bazaar over there, I haven't seen it for a few months, and the adult style is better than in the past. ”

Yang He smiled: "Ninth Master, what kind of friendship do we have?" That's what you call it. ”

He looked at the ninth master Qian Zhongyong's face was quite haggard, obviously too hard in the past few months, and then looked at his dart team, Yang He remembered that when he first met him, his dart team together with the dart master, the coachman, and the executioner had a total of fifty people.

Then in the battle of the official road, he suffered eight casualties, two dart masters, and one executioner died, and some of the rest were injured.

However, before parting in that battle, he also had some silver taels and twenty war horses, but now it seemed that there were only forty people left in his dart team, and some of them were obviously injured, so they only rode on horses to endure it.

Speaking of this, the ninth master was also embarrassed, and he sighed: "This is the Ming ...... Alas, the world is getting more and more chaotic, there are many thieves and bandits, and the business of the dart game is not good. ”

According to what he said, after arriving in Huai'an, he also went to Yangzhou and other places, and did a few orders of business, but even there was a big drought for many years, and there were hungry people over there, and it was very unsafe to walk on the road.

He often asks all parties to take care of it, and it is not uncommon for him to be in distress.

Then escort the goods of the palace up, the Yellow River Canal waterway is still convenient, but it is common for water to transport overturned boats, some valuables, such as Sugang, etc., must be transported by land, but the land route is sinister, and there are too many thieves.

As an escort, the dart team has been damaged from time to time along the way, from 50 people traveling from Xuzhou to more than 40 people now.

After a few years of darts like this, I'm afraid the dart game will be empty.

Speaking of which, this dart head who changed from the 12 horsemen of Tongzhou is quite at a loss, where to go in the future?

He sighed and said: "Look at Yang Xianggong again, when you and I met, the team was two or three hundred, and the young and strong were less than a hundred, but now they have laid such a large foundation, and they have a nine-rank official position, and they are really people with great ability." ”

He sighed with embarrassment, and Yang He smiled: "The ninth master is too famous, after Yang arrived in Xin'anzhuang, he was also frightened step by step, and after struggling, he had the current situation." ”

The ninth master, Qian Zhongyong, just admired, and he also said: "When Qian came over, he saw that he was taking in hungry people over there, and he saw that there were quite a few people digging ditches and paving roadbeds on the side of the road. ”

Yang Hedao: "Exactly, I plan to build Zhuangzi to the market, the market to the wharf, and the north of Zhuangzi this year, and repair the road for more than 30 miles, all paved with bluestone slabs, so as to facilitate the people here." ”

"Thirty miles ......"

Jiu Ye and the others were even more shocked, how much food and manpower did it cost.

The Ninth Master said with emotion: "When Qian saw Yang Xianggong, he felt that he was a dragon among people, and it was really extraordinary. ”

That Qian Sanniang glanced at Yang He, her eyes were rippling, and even the stout woman beside her showed an incredible expression.

Looking at their shocked looks, the people around Yang He were proud.

In this era, the construction of bridges and paving roads has always attracted attention, not to mention the bluestone road, or the 30-mile-long bluestone road, it is conceivable that when the road is completed, Xin'anzhuang will be more famous, and the name of the Yang River will spread rapidly.

Just like the later generations to go out to talk about business, no good car can not see people, this thirty miles long bluestone street, in the future will be the largest façade signboard of Xin'anzhuang.

Everyone greeted each other, all of them sighed, and they were all happy when they reunited after a long absence.

The son and daughter of the ninth master also came up to see Yang He, in addition to Qian Likui and others, that Qian Sanniang also gave a salute.

She hugged Yang He with a fist, lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes were long and trembling slightly.

Looking at his daughter Shili, Qian Zhongyong had a smile on his face.

This kid finally has the appearance of a daughter's house.

Just, alas......

It's so high, the matchmaker was scared away when she saw it.

The daughter can't get married, which has always been the heart disease of the ninth master.

Seeing that his daughter's self-esteem was frustrated and became colder day by day, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

The stout woman beside Qian Sanniang also hugged her fist at Yang He, Yang Hedao: "Who is this?" ”

The ninth master said: "Oh, this is the little girl rescued on the road, Li Ruwan and Li Xiaoniang are." ”

The stout woman stroked the cloak behind her and said boldly: "Slave Li Ruwan, I have seen Yang Xianggong." The slave family wanted to ask Yang Xianggong, is there a student surnamed Wei near this Xin'anzhuang? He is my fiancé, and he is also a person from Nanzhili. ”

Yang He glanced at the two heavy short axes on her waist, shook his head and smiled, "I haven't seen it." ”

Li Ruwan sighed, with a disappointed look on her face, and muttered: "Xianggong, where are you, the slave family is so hard to find you." ”

After greetings, Yang He asked Steward Huang, Jiu Ye and others to come into the village to talk, everyone laughed and entered the village, Yang He looked at Minister Yang and glanced at Li Ruwan, looking thoughtful.

He whispered in surprise: "You won't fall in love with that Li Ruwan, right?" You have also heard that she has a fiancé, a student surnamed Wei. ”

Minister Yang shook his head and said, "No, she is still too thin to suit my appetite." I just wondered if she had a sister or a younger sister who was stronger than her. ”
