Yang Chong heard Yang Xuangan's words, and immediately asked for leave to go back to develop glass, Yushan had just set off, and it would take at least three months to arrive in Chang'an, just after the Western Regions Conference. Yang Xuangan appreciates Yang Chong's letting go, and the workshops that make a lot of money are transferred to others, and they are waiting to be idle if they are officials or not, and they are already frizzy if they are replaced by young people, Yang Chong is still neither humble nor arrogant.

Yang Xuangan waved his hand, signaling Yang Chong not to be in a hurry, and asked left and right: "You are buying grain in Henan, but you are ready to make wine?" ”

Yang Xuangan once served as the assassin of Songzhou, and was the leader of the Heluo aristocracy, Yang Chong's every move in Henan could not hide from him, Yang Chong said: "Returning to the country, it is to exchange grain for the wine of Yuwen and the Du family." I need their wine to make agar now, so I can get the approval. ”

Yang Xuan thought about it and asked, "I heard Dr. Kong say that the disinfection effect of agar wine is better than that of Yuwen Wine Workshop?" ”

"Yes." Yang Chong knew that Kong Yingda had taken refuge in Yang Xuangan, and he was not the slightest surprised, and replied: "I have already asked Sun Simiao and Shuai Daochang to experiment, and I have also taken the excerpt, and I hope that the imperial court will build a special winery, but there has been no response." ”

Yang Xuangan smiled: "As far as I know, Duan Shangshu of the Ministry of War has urged many times, but Su Xiang feels that the difference is not particularly big, so there is no follow-up." Yang Chong, we are clansmen, along with Yang Gongren's relationship, you still have to call me uncle, I have one thing to ask you, why did Sui Hantang assassinate you? ”

Yang Chong guessed that Yang Xuangan should have begun to plan a rebellion just like in history, so he would not let go of every incident; Yang Chong replied: "I won't talk about the well-known things, I don't think it's Sui Hantang who wants to assassinate me, everyone in Sui Hantang is an elite, every time they act, there is more danger of exposure, and they won't be so boring." The people in the court who really want to kill me are the people in the court, and perhaps, I have inadvertently sabotaged their affairs. ”

A trace of solemnity flashed in Yang Xuangan's eyes, and he asked, "What can you do to destroy them?" ”

Yang Chong shook his head and said: "I don't know, otherwise I can find Pei Ju and explain things clearly, now, I have guards to follow me when I go in and out, and there should be no problem with safety." ”

Yang Xuan asked unexpectedly: "Cui Hongdu has already set off from Luoyang, do you know what he is doing in Chang'an?" ”

Yang Chong and the Cui family are business partners, and it is impossible for Yang Chong to say that he doesn't know, so he nodded and said: "He has been back in Hebei for more than a year, and this time he went to Daoist Sun Simiao to review his body. As for other plans, we will know when the head of the Cui family arrives in Chang'an. ”

Yang Xuangan finally said his plan: "When Cui Hongdu arrives in Chang'an, you go to visit and say that I want to have a meal with him." ”

"No problem." Yang Chong immediately agreed. In history, Cui Hongdu should have been dead for two years, because of his own reasons, Cui Hongdu is still alive and well in this life, so Yang Xuangan's rebellion may also have a different ending, Yang Chong feels that it is better to maintain the relationship with Yang Xuangan, and he will not die if he spreads a word. Yang Chong didn't care, when he walked out, Yang Xuan felt the gloomy gaze behind him.

When Yang Chong returned to Ma Xingfang, he learned that Cui Hongsu had arrived, and Cui Hongsu came with Xu Shiji and Xu Shigan brothers, Liu Hongji and Shan Xiongxin directly followed Sikong Xing's caravan to Shannan Villa. Xu Shiji looks like a talent, half a head taller than Xu Ziling, although he is dressed as a scholar, he has no weak state, but he gives people the feeling of being well versed in martial arts; Xu Shigan is a down-to-earth businessman, and he looks a little similar to Xu Shiji, but he is not as ambitious as his eldest brother Xu Shiji and second brother Xu Shibi, and this time he was specially sent by Xu Gai to do business.

Cui Hongsu and the three followed Yang Chong to the study, Wei Chili and the others immediately blocked the surrounding passages, Cui Hongsu smiled heartily: "As soon as the eldest brother heard that you wanted the Xu family to help, he specially met Shi Ji and said that you have a vicious eye, and specially asked me to ask, how did you find this talent?" ”

When Xu Shiji heard this, his face suddenly brightened, how many people were received and valued by Cui Hongdu, the head of the Cui family? As soon as Yang Chong looked at Xu Shiji's expression, he understood that what Cui Hongsu said was true, but Cui Hongsu praised Yang Chong and Xu Shiji on the surface when he spoke, and the key was to explore where Yang Chong got the news. Yang Chong hesitated and said, "There is someone who has seen Xu Gongzi who recommended it to me, but Boss Cui really can't say his name." ”

Yang Chong's expression made Cui Hongsu and the others believe that Yang Chong began to enter Henan and Yangzhou to do business, and there must be business partners, and there must be some secrets. Cui Hongsu then asked, "How are you going to let the Xu family help you?" ”

Yang Chong understands that a meeting with Cui Hongdu has made his plans go to waste, and even if Xu Shiji comes to help him, he will feel that his Xu family is looking at Cui Hongdu's face and will not give up on himself. Yang Chong naturally didn't make it difficult for others, and said with a smile: "I have recently developed a new kind of tea, and I need people to go to the Western Regions to promote it, but I don't get along well with the Sui Hantang, Chijin Turks and other forces, so I want to ask the Xu family to form a caravan to take the Eastern Turkic route." ”

Tea is not within the scope of the Great Sui's embargo, it is a legal trade commodity with the Turkic tribes, Cui Hongsu thought about it and said: "You are in the Western Regions, Gaochang, Xinkai Five Counties, and Tiele are now under the control of the Great Sui, and you should welcome your caravan, and even many people in the army will help you transport it, only the Eastern and Western Turkic whips can't reach it." Yang Chong, how do you see this, the tea business is handed over to our Cui family tea house, we will give you 30% of the shares of the tea house, and the Cui family and the Xu family will organize a caravan together, what do you think? ”

Xu Shiji was stunned, although Yang Chong's reputation has risen in the past two years and he is a top figure in business, but in Xu Shiji's mind, there is no such height, the Cui family is willing to cooperate with Yang Chong in this way, Xu Shiji can't help but look at Yang Chong. Yang Chong seemed to have been prepared for this question, shook his head and said, "Boss Cui, I have agreed with Yang Gongren and Yu Qintao, and the Western Turks have been wrapped up by Yu Qintao. This matter cannot be changed, but you can rest assured, my kind of tea is called brick tea, which is only useful for the Hu people, and there is no market in the Central Plains, and I will buy tea from you on a large scale in the future. ”

Yang Chong asked Miao Yun to go to the warehouse to get a piece of brick tea, Cui Hongsu took a look, the appearance of the brick tea is flat, the edges of the four corners are distinct, the thickness is uniform, the color is oily and gray yellow, Yang Chong cut a piece of tea, the soup is yellow, the aroma is peaceful, the taste is thick and slightly astringent, and the tea of the Cui family is completely different, but there is a bit of tea soup. After Yang Chong returned from Handchuan, he asked Yang Liu and Yang Jiu to study and make tea bricks, and after the product came out, he contacted Yang Gongren, and finally pulled Yu Zhongwen's fourth son Yu Qintao to partner.

Cui Hongsu understood that the Cui family had missed an opportunity, and if it weren't for Cui Chuzhi's letter to remind him, he wouldn't have known about it; Cui Hongsu simply put down the tea brick matter and said: "The matter of brick tea is up to the Xu family themselves." The head of the family came this time, ready to meet with you, Cui Yao came with the head of the family. ”

Yang Chong was taken aback, what kind of moth is going to be born in the Cui family, Cui Hongsu and Cui Yao are both people with special identities, and they must have made a big move when they come to Chang'an together. The Xu Shiji brothers didn't expect to come to Chang'an in a hurry, first, they were not familiar with the Eastern and Western Turks, and second, the Cui family was rejected by Yang Chong, which made the two very stressed, and said that they would discuss it with their father Xu Gai before making a decision. Yang Chong sent Xu Shiji's brothers away, returned to the study and asked Cui Hongsu, "What happened?" ”

Cui Hongsu said with a serious face: "Li Baiyao dismissed his official position in Jiangnan, returned to Anping, and came to be a guest for a month, saying that Tuoba Bo met with him and talked about some things in the Western Regions, and some things are inconvenient to come out and talk about now as Li Baiyao, so please help the head of the family when he comes to Chang'an this time." ”

Li Baiyao is the son of the great Confucian Li Delin, and he is also a generation of Confucianism, a side branch of the Li family of Zhao County, and the Cui family is in Boling County, and they are connected to each other; Yang Chong immediately interrupted Cui Hongsu's words and asked, "Boss Cui, is it Tuoba Bo or Li Baiyao who came with the head of the Cui family?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Chong's thinking was so quick, Cui Hongsu smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know, I only saw Li Mengwei in the convoy." ”

Yang Chong said decisively: "After I go to the private school tomorrow, I will have a lot of time, and as soon as the head of the Cui family arrives in Chang'an, I will immediately go to the medical school to wait for him." ”
