Meng Kunpeng is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, but it does not hinder the ideals in his heart, and to do what he wants to do, he is still the house slave of the Yuwen family, but he is the master of Yuwenkai's money to let more than 50 people get rid of slavery, which is an amazing thing in itself. So the placement of more than 50 people became Meng Kunpeng's business alone, although Yuwenkai asked Yuwenhu to provide a lot of help, but Yuwenhu would never dare to do anything that made the Yuwen family unhappy.

So listening to Yuwenhu's letter, Yang Chong needed manpower, and Meng Kunpeng immediately selected fourteen people and brought them to Yang's mansion together; Yang Chong was really reasonable, four women were servants, and ten men were handed over to Yang Lei, who went to the workshop to cut down wood and transport things. Yang Chong made it very clear that they did not need to be enslaved, each person had the same money for a month, paid every month, and provided free food and lodging, but everyone must sign a three-year contract, with Meng Kunpeng as the guarantor.

When Meng Kunpeng signed the contract with fourteen people, Yang Chong asked Yang Lei to bring fourteen taels of silver, handed it to Meng Kunpeng and said, "This is the insurance fee, I know you are short of money now." In addition, Uncle Hu said, only you can help me keep the workshop, if you are willing to help me with this, I will talk to my senior brother. ”

Yang Chong was paid according to the commission of the labor intermediary in later generations, but in the Great Sui, he had never heard of the guarantor taking money, Meng Kunpeng and Yang Lei both thought that Yang Chong was thinking of a way to help Meng Kunpeng, because with Meng Kunpeng's character, Yang Chong offered to borrow money, and he would not ask for it. Meng Kunpeng is not a hypocritical person, he accepted the money and said: "I disappointed the Yuwen family a lot this time, even if your senior brother and Uncle Hu don't care, I can't stay in the Yuwen family, don't worry about leaving the Yuwen family, but you have to think about it, I came here with so many people." ”

Yang Chong waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't I still have a field, you go there first to build a house to live in, and by the way, help me do some other things, and when my workshop opens, you can just work for me." Both Meng Kunpeng and Yang Lei believe that Yang Chong's continuous business activities show that for Yang Chong, opening a workshop is as simple as building blocks.

As soon as Meng Kunpeng said to Yuwenhu, Yuwenhu handed over the contract of sale to Meng Kunpeng, and from the first day of Meng Kunpeng's devotion, Yuwenkai handed over Meng Kunpeng's contract of sale to Yuwenhu, and instructed that at any time, Meng Kunpeng could leave at will. Naturally, for the rest of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Hu will insist that Meng Kunpeng was kicked out because of his ineffective work; As soon as Meng Kunpeng heard what Yu Wenhu said, he laughed, everyone was gone, so he naturally didn't care about being told by others, what he owed Yu Wenkai was not one or two points.

Under the guidance of Meng Kunpeng, after Yang Wu and Yang Ba converted the three workshops into secret rooms, Yang Chong began to guide Yang Yi to make soap, and the two made it three times in a row, Yang Yi quickly mastered the skills, Yang Chong smiled: "Yang Yi, with your current skills, you can make a lot of money when you go out." ”

Yang Yi is a Han who grew up in Hetao, and when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master of the family, no matter what Yang Yi does in the future, he will not leave this workshop. ”

Yang Chong dragged Yang Yi up and said, "It's not so serious, but don't worry, even if you are now slaves, I will still pay you every month, and after ten years, you can redeem yourself." ”

When the two got outside, Yang Chong told Yang Lei his thoughts and asked him to prepare a copy of the agreement of all the house slaves according to his own requirements, Yang Heng asked on the side: "If you are not ready to redeem yourself, can you not redeem yourself?" ”

Yang Chong scolded: "What's so good about being a house slave if you don't have a good life?" ”

Yang Heng shook his head and said, "I have changed my surname, what does it matter if I can't get out of slavery." I know that you are getting bigger and bigger, and you may become a prince in ten years, and I am afraid that we old people will make trouble in your name, so I promise you that you will not cause trouble. ”

Everyone laughed, Yang Chong was so angry that he asked, "Who are you listening to?" ”

Yang Heng thought for a while and said: "In the Yuwen Workshop, there is a person named Shi Shiliang, who said it when he met the old man Yuwenhu. ”

"Shi Shiliang?" Yang Chong and Meng Kunpeng asked almost in unison, Meng Kunpeng had a strange feeling, Shi Shiliang was a hermit, Yang Chong should not know. Yang Chong knew that it was because Shi Shiliang had met Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and said that Li Yuan's bones were surprising and he must be the lord of a country, so it touched the nerve of Li Yuan's rebellion; Yang Chong always thought it was apocryphal in the history books, but he didn't expect that there was really such a person.

Yang Heng was frightened by the reaction of the two, and after thinking about it, he wanted to say: "That's right, that person is called Shi Shiliang, with a strange appearance and a beard. ”

Meng Kunpeng bowed his head and said: "Shi Shiliang looks like this, he is a person from Quentian Pavilion, he once visited Chang'an ten years ago, and Yu Wenkai and I had a good time, Yang Heng, when did he come?" ”

"More than ten days ago." Yang Heng had a good memory, and Meng Kunpeng turned to ask Yang Chong: "Where did you hear about this person?" ”

Yang Chong had already regained his composure, and he opened his mouth to reply, "When Senior Brother Feng talked about Quentian Pavilion that day, he mentioned this name. ”

Meng Kunpeng didn't doubt it, and after signaling everyone to leave, he said to Yang Chong: "Quenching Heaven Pavilion is a very mysterious sect, every time it appears on the rivers and lakes, it means that something has happened. The last time Shi Shiliang came to Chang'an, it happened that Dugutuo used the cat ghost witch Gu, although I have no evidence, but I always suspect that there is a problem. I didn't expect him to be so interested in you and so optimistic about you. ”

Yang Chong smiled and said, "I can't contact the Quentian Pavilion at all, so I don't need to worry about him." Brother Meng, tomorrow let those who have nowhere to go come over first, live in the house of the carpentry workshop, and wait for me to report to the military department, and then take the time to go to the medical school to see if there is a chance on Sun Simiao's side. "Yang Chong has seen Zhen Xueqing, and knows that Qutian Pavilion and Lou Guan Dao are in the same group, and his heart is very stable, even if there is anything, he can also ask Feng Qi to come forward; Since Meng Kunpeng promised Yang Chong, he naturally would not break his promise, so he turned around and went to arrange.

When Yang Chong returned home, he found that the apprentice of the ghost nun had already arrived, and it was two young girls, accompanied by Shuai Guozhen. The girl standing in front is called Jiang Fei, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a slender figure, and surprisingly fair skin, I don't know how Jiang Fei is maintained in that kind of place in Louguan; The girl behind Jiang Fei is Hao Ting, full and graceful, her eyes are a little blue, her eyes look at Yang Chong presumptuously, and she knows that she is not a Central Plains woman at a glance.

Shuai Guozhen said very politely, it was Jiang Fei who came to live in Yang's family, Jiang Fei was good at medicine in addition to good martial arts; Hao Ting was sent by Guini Yuanhui, one was afraid that Jiang Fei would not be familiar with the environment, and the other was to come to see Yang Chong. Yang Chong didn't expect Lao Dao to speak so directly, it seems that the ghost nun is also a figure that he can't be provoked, shrugged his shoulders and said to Hao Ting: "Have you seen enough?" ”

Jiang Fei took a step forward, stretched her waist lightly, and said, "I'm sorry, Hao Ting is ambitious, so she is curious, don't blame the son." ”

Jiang Fei and Zhen Xueqing are completely different beauties, Yang Chong has to admit that although he doesn't feel amazing in the face of Jiang Fei, he looks very eye-catching. Yang Chong hurriedly returned the salute and said, "It is Yang's honor for Miss Jiang to be a guest at the house. ”
