Yan Xing returned to the tent and waited, and Liu Qiao quickly rushed over from the army.

Although he didn't know why Yan Xing summoned him, Liu Qiao walked all the way, with a flattering smile on his face, the mustache on his lips trembled, and his eyes flashed with fine light.

"Little official Liu Qiao visits the general!"

After Liu Qiao was taken away by Yan Xing in Yangcheng, he had neither the capital of a merchant nor the freedom to leave, and there were no idlers in the army, so he could only act as a small official and receive some rations to support the family.

Yan Xing glanced at Liu Qiao, who was prostrate on the ground, and said lightly:

"Get up."

"General Xie!"

"In the army, can you still get used to it?"

Hearing Yan Xing's casual question, Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, he was originally a businessman, although he was a lowly person, but he had little money, and he was dressed in fine clothes.

But now, this army is a group of soldiers who lick blood with knives, he acts as a nameless petty official, coarse cloth and garments, and has to bury his head in the case all day long, and occasionally he will be called around by some rude and rude military officials, and sent to do errands, how can he get used to this?

But Yan Xing was standing in front of him, his life was at stake, Liu Qiao could only squint his eyes and replied with a smile against his will:

"Thank you for your concern, the general, the habit, the habit!"

"Oh, that's good, I think of the past in the military market, you colluded with adulterers and blackmailed people and goods, I haven't forgotten it, but I don't know if in our army, will you also be greedy for military funds and steal baggage?"

Yan Xing's soft joke suddenly frightened Liu Qiao's legs and softened again, he trembled, and bowed down and said:

"This is the great crime of 'lack of military prosperity', even if someone gives the villain another guts, the villain will not dare to do it, the villain is an official in the army, and he has always walked on thin ice and abided by the law!"

Yan Xing laughed, nodded and said:

"Okay, what a 'walking on thin ice, abide by the law and discipline', you are used to living in the army, and you can abide by the law and discipline in the army, just now that the war in the land of Xihe is about to start, and the boat and vehicle transfers are frequent, you will be sent to the army of Xihe, you can make the best use of it!"

When Liu Qiao heard this, his face immediately collapsed. Hedong is now that the war has just been calmed down, he, a junior official in the army, can just live a few days of peaceful life, but according to Yan Xing's statement, he is going to be transferred to the land of Xihe where the war broke out to be a junior official in the army, isn't this his life?

Although a small official like him does not need to go to the battlefield, it is extremely dangerous in the battle array, and it is even more common for the whole army to be annihilated, even if the battle is won, but the enemy's rangers take advantage of the chaos to harass the grain and grass in the rear, or a stray arrow that does not have long eyes, maybe it can also be able to end a poor worm like him who is insignificant in the army, has no ability to protect himself, and has no one to protect.

Feeling what he said just now, he directly brought himself into the ravine.

Yan Xing looked at Liu Qiao with a bitter face, pretended to be displeased, and asked in a deep voice:

"Look at your face, do you like my dispatch?"

As he spoke, Yan Xing didn't wait for Liu Qiao to hide his words, and immediately sneered and said:

"Hey, I almost forgot, Liu Junnai is a talented person who has studied Fan Shaobo's learning, and he once said, 'I govern production, Yu Yiyin, Lu Shang's strategy, Sun Wu's use of soldiers, and Shang Ying's practice is also.'" Therefore, his wisdom is insufficient and changeable, courage is not enough to decide, benevolence can not be given, and he cannot be guarded, although he wants to learn my skills, he will not tell you in the end', this appointment of you to the West River to the army of small officials, in your heart must feel that it is overkill! ”

Hearing that Yan Xing turned over the old accounts, Liu Qiao's face was even more embarrassed. At that time, he had no eyes, thinking that Yan Xing was an ordinary ignorant soldier, and wanted to arch the guards and gain fame, so he pretended to be a talented person, wanting to take the opportunity to win Yan Xing's favor and trust.

Later, he talked exaggerated in front of Yan Xing, adding fuel and vinegar to the examples he heard from Xi Zhicai, making a lot of nonsense, and talking more and more wildly, until he was finally taken to the camp by Yan Xing and exposed the lie in front of him, and then he suddenly realized that he had to kowtow and confess.

What's even worse is that in order to survive at that time, he directly sold Xi Zhicai, and now Xi Zhicai is reused in Yan Xingjun and is in a high position, but Liu Qiao is not good to go over and ask Xi Zhicai for help.

Liu Qiao was shy, and could only say ashamedly:

"Joe doesn't dare."

Yan Xing saw that Liu Qiao's face was red and white, he laughed, and then reached out to help Liu Qiao up.

"Now is the world of great contention, talents are rare, the head of the horse, Shang Si has made contributions, not to mention everyone? In the past, the country of Qi was in decline, and the pipe was repaired, and the nine mansions were set up, and the Duke of Huan was hegemonic, and the princes of Jiuhe were all over the world. And Hedong is waiting to be prosperous at the moment, I am interested in reviving the benefits of business, Zigao does not like the affairs of the army, but I don't know if there is a good way to speak for me? ”

Liu Qiao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Yan Xing was going to open up a business, but then he heard that Yan Xing asked him to offer a good fortune, and he immediately withered again.

According to the law of products known to the people of the time, Shanxi rao wood, bamboo, grain, silk, Xuan, jade; Shandong has many fish, salt, lacquer, silk, sound and color; Jiangnan out of the di, Zi, ginger, gui, gold, tin, lian, dansha, rhino, tortoiseshell, pearl, tooth leather; Longmen, Jieshi North Horse, Cattle, Sheep, Zhanqiu, Tendon Horn.

And these of them are now following this law, running north and south, transporting thousands of miles, and making profits by buying cheaply and selling expensively, entering low and exiting high, and he really doesn't know how to be rich and skillful.

As for those ways to operate the profits of Shanze Salt and Iron, presumably even if you don't need Liu Qiaojiao, Yan Xing knows how to do it, and it can be seen from the previous official Salt and Iron that this Taishou is also a person who is good at making profits. Besides, Yan Xing is not only the Taishou of Hedong, but also the commander of the three armies, and there are so many talents from the county government and the shogunate around him, how can no one give him the art of abundant wealth?

Looking at Liu Qiao's speechless appearance, Yan Xing knew that he hadn't been able to understand his own meaning yet, so he smiled instead:

"Do you know Rathon?"

Yi Dun was a famous businessman in the Warring States Period, Liu Qiao heard his name, nodded, and said:

"The villain knows."

"Then do you know that he made his fortune in the Hedong Yi clan?"

“。。。”

"Well, I'll ask you now, do you want to be a Badun?"

Yan Xing showed a deep and unpredictable smile, seeing Liu Qiao's eyes, he was surprised and happy, only to feel that happiness came too suddenly, a heart had already jumped to his throat, he held back a trembling voice, and said slowly:

"The general means, let me-"

"That's right, it's to make you the Yidun of Hedong!"

Yan Xing clapped his palms, smiled and asked:

"You should know, what is abundant in Hedong, and what is in short supply in Qianghu and Montenegro?"

After Yan Xing's persuasion, the light in Liu Qiao's eyes at this time appeared again. Hedong is rich in salt and iron, and the Qianghu in Xihe and Shangjun, and the Black Mountain in Hebei are precisely salt and iron.

Although there are also halogen and iron ore in the land of Qianghu, those natural brine salts can be used for livestock to eat, which can be used for human consumption, which is not only difficult to swallow, but also toxic, and is easy to be poisoned and sick if eaten for a long time. Finding ore veins, determining ore sites, and mining and smelting iron are even more difficult things for Qianghu.

Although the Montenegrin Army claims to be one million, it also occupies many mountains and forests and wanders through counties, and there is no territory and conditions for boiling salt and smelting iron. Therefore, for Qianghu and Montenegro, salt and iron are materials that they are in short supply.

Qianghu's war horses, furs, jade, medicinal materials, gold, silver, wealth, people and livestock captured from Montenegro can be used to trade with the salt and iron of Hedong, although it is indeed dangerous to open up these trade routes, but once successful, it is a huge trade that is tantamount to ten thousand gold!

Liu Qiao trembled slightly with excitement, he buried his head on the ground again, in order to suppress the surprise and joy in his heart, and said excitedly:

"Joe is willing to serve the general!"

···

After leaving Pingyang, Taishou Xingchun's car began to turn back and head south, heading to the last stop, Jiangyi.

After the political affairs of Jiangyi persuaded Nongsang to be completed, Yan Xing rushed to the garrison camp of Jiangyi at the time of feeding, which was the station of Xu Huang's soldiers and horses, Xu Huang personally greeted Yan Xing and accompanied Yan Xing to inspect the military camp.

Xu Huang's troops were stationed in Jiangyi, taking into account the military affairs of the cities of Huze, Duanshi, and Dongyuan, and needed to guard against potential enemies in the direction of Hanoi and Shangdang, and most of the troops were veterans, so although his battalion was not like Cao Yuan's military camp, where there were endless riding drills every day, it was also orderly and appropriate.

Yan Xing was dressed in armor and walked with Xu Huang in the barracks, as if the two had first known each other, Yan Xing looked at the wisps of cooking smoke in the camp, turned his head to Xu Huang and asked:

"Shangdang and Hanoi have been moving recently?"

Hearing this, Xu Huang shook his head, and then said:

"There is no change in Shangdang and Hanoi, but there was one person last year who stirred up the situation in these two places?"

"There are forces such as Zhang Yang, Montenegro, and Yuan Shao in these two places, which are complicated, who can stir up the situation in these two counties, could it be that the newly appointed Bingzhou Assassin Shi Gao can't do it?"

"It's Chang Lin Chang Bohuai, a famous man in Hanoi County!"

"Oh?"

Yan Xing suddenly became interested, and Xu Huang said with a smile:

"Chang Bohuai is a native of Wen County, because of the bad relationship with the former Taishou Wang Kuang, so he took refuge with everyone to go to Shangdang, the dock fort where their clan lives is adjacent to the old river Taishou Chen Yan, and the second surname is the family of the big surname of Shangdang, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yangqiu plundered Shangdang, sent troops to invade Shangdang County, coveted the wealth and silk women of the Chen and Feng clans, and divided the troops to besiege the dock fort of the Chen and Feng clans."

"Shangdang is too weak and incompetent, and the state assassin Shi Gaogan has not yet arrived, and he is unable to resist Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses, it is this Chang Bohuai, leading the clansmen to help the Chen and Feng clans to hold the dock fort, although Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses plundered the Shangdang, but can besiege for more than 60 days, but can not capture the dock fort of the two clans, can only withdraw the army and return to Hanoi. Afterwards, Gao Gan recommended Chang Bohuai as a cavalry captain, but he refused. ”

"Interesting."

Yan Xing also felt interesting when he heard Xu Huang talk about this, he knew that Zhang Yang had sent troops to plunder the Shangdang last year, but first, Zhang Yang had never invaded Hedong, and secondly, there were all kinds of industries in Hedong County to be developed, so Yan Xing didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, one of Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses would fall in front of the dock forts of Changlin, Chen, and Feng.

After Yan Xing laughed, he thought of something, his smile gradually retracted, and he looked at Xu Huang and asked:

"Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses are mostly from the annexed land, and his people enter Hanoi with soldiers, but I am afraid that not only the people in the county are not convinced, but even the soldiers and horses under his command are also nostalgic for their homeland, otherwise, why should Zhang Yang use wealth to lure each other and repeatedly drive the soldiers to plunder the party?"
