After Fu Gongyou thanked him and went out, Li Hong's representative Li Zhang came in, dressed as a scribe, and thanked Yang Chong when he saw him: "Thank you for summoning you by making an exception." ”

Yang Chong smiled, motioned for Li Zhang to sit down, and said, "You are Ling Jing's brother-in-law, and we are our own people." I want to know if Li Hong is trading with us, will one of the Li clan in Longxi secretly pay money, or if you are looking for materials or gold and silver on the territory to exchange. ”

Yang Chong's words were so straightforward, Li Zhang smiled understandingly: "Any family, as long as the disciple rebels, it is equivalent to leaving the family, the clan may be able to help a lot, but it will not provide funds, it is too easy to be true." Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass first, we could say that we had not yet gained a stable foothold in Fufeng and Longxi, so we wanted to ask the general manager for advice on how to maintain the economy. ”

The children of the five surnames and seven wangs are really different from the ordinary anti-thieves, Li Zhang is the first person to ask Yang Chong about this problem, Yang Chong said with a smile: "There are no scarce commodities in those two counties, but there is a lot of fertile land, grain is the foundation of everything, with food, there is confidence." What you need can be met with gold and silver, and I still have tens of thousands of troops to pay, and I lack these things. ”

Yang Chong agreed to the deal, Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief, he could explain to his wife when he went back, and he would not be threatened to sleep in the study again; Yang Ze asked at the right time: "Li Zhang, do you agree?" ”

Li Zhang nodded and said, "Then I will stay in Zhangye, open a trading house, and meet Yang Ze when I need to purchase." ”

Yang Chong admired Li Zhang's way of thinking, only by doing trade could he earn more money, and even Li Zhang considered using Ling Jing's resources, Yang Chong asked a question that no one could guess: "Is Tang Guogong Li Yuan a member of the Li clan in Longxi?" ”

Li Zhang was caught off guard and replied in a panic: "Yes." ”

One word represents infinite meaning, Ling Jing can only sigh, Yang Chong thinks too much, Li Zhang thinks too little. Everyone in the world knows that Yang Chong can buy war horse armor here, and even Yang Xuangan's remnants dare to take it in, what else does Yang Chong dare not do; It's okay if Li Zhang doesn't have contact with Li Yuan in the future, but if he provides information to Li Yuan, life will be very uncomfortable.

The war between all sides gave Hexi a temporary respite, and Yang Chong took the opportunity to give up the business of the bronze bell to the Buddhist family, the Zhangye Ma family, and the Dunhuang Fu family; The porcelain workshop is divided into official kilns and private kilns, and the folk kilns are cooperated by Jiang Long and Zhangye Fuqujia and Dunhuang Zhangjia; The paper mill business gave the Yu family a two-percent stake. Hexi Commercial Bank established Liangzhou Salt Bank separately and withdrew from Qinghai Fang in the Western Regions, and the shares of Qinghai Fang became Hongnong Yang Shi Sicheng, Yang Gongren Yicheng, Shanshan County Liangcheng, Gaochang, Jimo, and Yiwu County each 10%.

Yang Chong successively recovered 50,000 yuan, Yang Chong asked Jiang Fei to write letters to his important people who had no assets, Du Yan, Fang Xuanling, Dai Guan, Liang Shuo, Ling Jing, Sikong Xing, Liu Hongji, Shan Xiongxin, Xie Yingdeng, Tuoba Anhu, and Xifeng Changshan, a total of eleven people, asking if they had any plans to do business together.

Dai Xuan and Fang Xuanling refused, and the remaining nine agreed, and each of them gave 1,000 yuan together with Qi Bige; Jiang Fei made 30,000 yuan and partnered to set up Qilianshan Commercial Bank, specializing in the business of cattle and sheep leather herbs, Jiang Fei was fifty percent of the shares, and the rest were half percent each. Everyone knows that Jiang Fei will give each person a thousand yuan when he opens, Fang Xuanling and Dai Xuan refused for fear of this situation, but others don't have this worry, they follow Yang Chong to fight the world, this business house is just the beginning, and they will get more in the future.

Yang Chong didn't take the attitude of the two seriously, life is like this, no matter how good a friend is, no matter how good a subordinate and subordinate complement each other, it is impossible for everything to be happy. How many people in the upper position are too serious in obsessive-compulsive disorder, so they change in constant suspicion, and finally waste a good hand; What's more, in history, Fang Xuanling was a cautious and humble gentleman, looking at his face, Dai Xuan is estimated to be not much worse.

Just after the autumn harvest, the news that Wang Bo was defeated by Zhang Xutuo first came, and then in December, Meng Rang was defeated by Wang Shichong of Jiangdu County, and the 100,000 army was annihilated, and Meng Rang fled from the battlefield with more than ten horsemen. Yang Chong understands that the peace in Hexi is coming to an end, before Li Shimin and Li Mi make a move, Zhang Xutuo and Wang Shichong are invincible generals, if it weren't for the fact that there are as many thieves as leeks and killing a stubble and a stubble, these two people may really be able to prosper the Great Sui.

The first eye-catching news is that Zheng Rong, the general of the right guard and the doctor of Zuo Guanglu, was appointed to stay in Taiyuan, plus Guo Rong of Longyou, Zhang Jin of Guanzhong, and Qu Tutong of Hedong, in addition to leaving one guard in Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangdu, and Zhuojun, among the twelve guards that can be mobilized everywhere, one-third of the forces are deployed around Hexi at this moment, and there are many famous generals like Li Yuan and Huangfu Wuyi.

Chang'an's trade routes were cut off again, and Huangfu Wuyi sent troops to block all roads leading to Liupan Mountain in Guanzhong; Taiyuan, Hedong, and Qinghai are also very strict inspections, and now even a truckload of goods will be repeatedly checked. After Yang Chong discussed with Fang Xuanling and others, in addition to stopping the delivery of materials to Chang'an, he ordered Wei Yuanzhao and Qu Tugai to set up a card on Tuyuhun Road, and did not allow cloth, tea, porcelain, and books to be transported to the Western Regions, nor did they allow woven carpets, cattle and sheep, steel, and spices to be transported to Chang'an.

But at this time, he sent people to trade with great fanfare, and asked for 10,000 catties of iron for 1,000 horses and 5,000 cattle and sheep at one time; After Lingqiu's iron works were controlled by the Great Sui, the supply of steel for Shibi Khan was sharply reduced, and Wang Xuba's rebels were in urgent need of a large number of weapons, so they had to let Dubi trade them. Dubi also hoped to make Yang Chong and the Great Sui Center completely fall out, so he didn't hide it at all, and the team headed towards Juyanhai in a mighty way, lest the world would not know.

Yang Chong's aggressive heart to blame can be seen clearly, but he understands that he is short of materials, and it is indeed a little difficult to be forced by the center and Chang'an step by step, so he finally agreed to the deal, and just instructed Yang Ji to operate secretly. As the first person in the long history and civil affairs, Cui Zhen still got the news; Cui Zhen knew that it was crucial for Yang Chong to take this step, Yang Chong had broken through his bottom line, and sooner or later he would become without a bottom line, and it was only a matter of time before he went to war with Chang'an.

Cui Zhen officially wrote to Chang'an, asking if there was a complete break, and proposed that he was sent as the center of the long history, in Hexi for two years, ready to return to Chang'an to resume his life; In the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions, Cui Zhen began to hand over the work to Fang Xuanling. Yang Chong learned the news and didn't say anything, Zheng Rong and Li Yuan in the five surnames and seven hopes were in Taiyuan, and the Boling Cui family must have given Cui Zhen instructions, the relationship between Cui Hongsheng's father and daughter and himself was far worse than that of Cui Hongdu and Cui Hongsu, and his opening may be to make Cui Zhen embarrassed.
