Zhang Bojian doesn't look like a businessman no matter how he looks, he is in his thirties, with a big face full of arrogance and confidence, his thick eyebrows are full of cunning, and a pair of big bright eyes look directly at Yang Chong, only a beard, and like the legend, he is as bare as a beard. Yang Chong shrugged his shoulders freely and invited Zhang Bojian to sit down, and the bearded guest's gaze did not put any pressure on him; After the maidservant served tea, only Yang Chong and Zhang Bojian were left in the house, Yang Chong picked up the teacup and asked, "Brother Zhang came to Chang'an this time, what kind of business is it?" ”

Zhang Bojian said with a smile: "I brought a boatload of spices, pepper, porcelain, sandalwood, etc., I don't know if Yang Gongzi is interested in eating it." ”

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty repaired the Tongji Canal, Hangou, Yongji Canal, and Jiangnan Canal, and now Yangzhou can also take the waterway from Chang'an, Yang Chonghan asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang is from Jiangdu?" ”

Zhang Bojian was stunned for a moment, and then replied calmly: "I entered the inland river from Huating this time. ”

Sure enough, it is a pirate to go to sea, and it is a business to go ashore; Yang Chong bowed his head and said: "I have been friends with Brother Zhang for a long time, and the eldest brother made a price, and I ate this batch of goods." ”

Zhang Bojian lowered his voice and asked, "Yang Gongzi has heard of me?" ”

"Li Jing's brother of the alliance, how could I not know." Yang Chong said lightly: "Brother Zhang is not only strong in martial arts, but also unmatched in his military strategy and ambition. ”

Zhang Bojian's face changed slightly, not many people knew that he was Li Jingmeng's brother, and the ambition in his heart was not even clear to Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl, but the young man in front of him seemed to know everything. In view of Yang Chong's current reputation, Zhang Bojian didn't dare to act rashly, and asked tentatively: "Yang Gongzi knows my identity?" ”

Yang Chong took a sip of tea and said, "I know, so I'm willing to eat all the goods." Brother Zhang ventured into Chang'an, one is for the safety of shipments, and the other is to find another way out, Zhang Zhenzhou and Zhuge Quan have arrived in southern Fujian, and now I am afraid that they have boarded Liuqiu, and your life is not very easy. ”

Zhang Bojian breathed a sigh of relief, Zhuge Quan and Yang Chong are friends, it is very likely that some of the circumstances of being a pirate were written by Zhuge Quan to tell Yang Chong, Rao is so, Zhang Bojian is also very wary of Yang Chong, this kind of vision and association, not ordinary people can have. Zhang Bojian was very disgraceful, and directly stated his plan: "Since Yang Gongzi is clear about Zhang's situation, Zhang has made it clear that as long as we become business partners in the future, all the goods I bring to Chang'an will be given to Yang Gongzi." ”

"Deal." Yang Chong said without hesitation: "Brother Zhang wants to bring back any goods, you might as well open a list, and I will arrange someone to purchase it." ”

Zhang Bojian saw the sincerity in Yang Chong's eyes, took out a list and handed it to Yang Chong, and said with a smile: "I want fragrant pancreas, soy sauce, wine from Yuwen Wine Workshop, and books." Don't bother Yang Gongzi with other things, I've already bought it myself. ”

Fragrant pancreas, soy sauce, and the wine of Yuwen Distillery are all goods that Yang Chong can receive at any time, but the books make Yang Chong stunned, no matter how ambitious Zhang Bojian is, he will not have to prepare for education now; Yang Chong looked down at the list and immediately understood. Zhang Bojian's books mainly focused on the Four Books and the Five Classics, which were not very many, and should have been prepared for places in Nanyang or Silla, where these countries admired the culture of the Central Plains, especially the aristocracy, and were proud of their relationship with the Central Plains; Zhang Bojian must have taken some templates and went to Yangzhou to find someone to copy them.

Yang Chong asked, "When will Brother Zhang leave?" ”

Zhang Bojian replied: "Five days later." ”

Yang Chong estimated and said: "I will arrange for the unloading today, and the day after tomorrow, I will load the fragrant pancreas, soy sauce, and wine on the ship, and deliver the books before you leave." I compensate for the difference in price. ”

Zhang Bojian said happily: "Gold is the best, and in bulk transactions, gold is a hard currency. ”

This order went very well, after Yuan Hongzhao took someone to unload the goods on the ship, Yang Chong and Jiang Fei estimated that they could probably earn 10,000 yuan. Jiang Fei already knew that Zhang Bojian was a pirate, and when there was no one, he whispered: "You really want money and don't want to die, one day Zhang Bojian has an accident and will confess you." ”

Yang Chong smiled indifferently: "No one can catch Zhang Bojian, I read the documents of this ship and the cargo on board, there are road guides from various government offices, I asked Yuan Hongzhao to leave all the road guides, it will be fine." By the way, when do you ask Tianjian, Tianji, and Tianren, are you willing to return to the vulgar, Meng Kunpeng and Yang Lei said a few times, Taoist priests are in charge, and many people look awkward; If they compensate a little bit against Lou Guan Dao, I can pay some money. ”

Jiang Fei smiled, she had seen it several times in the workshop and the courtyard, and the picture was so chic that she couldn't say it; However, Yang Chong's empathy made Jiang Fei very pleased, although the three of them didn't care about Lou Guandao's identity, but if they were allowed to take off their robes and really return to the vulgar, they would definitely still have some knots, and compensating Lou Guandao was a good way to help them get free. Jiang Fei nodded and said, "I discussed it with them that day, and when you see your second senior brother, remember to say it." Also, what about books? ”

Yang Chong touched Jiang Fei's hand and said, "I wrote a letter and asked Miao Yun to go to Cui Chuzhi and buy some from their house first; In addition, the old books we have been collecting and the manuscripts in the private school have the books of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and when the time comes, we will put them together and give them to Zhang Bojian. ”

After Yang Chong's private school moved to the manor, there were more and more students, and Yang Chong has always asked his subordinates to collect books from various channels, and also let literate students continue to copy them, so that every child who goes to school has a book and builds a library; In Yang Chong's private school, the Four Books and Five Classics are only used for literacy, and each child only needs to recognize the words in any book and copy them, the most important thing is to teach arithmetic, simple calculation of Arabic numerals. Therefore, Yang Chong's private school does not lack these books, some are students' homework, and what is lacking is the exquisite and beautiful manuscripts and prints of the Cui family.

After Zhang Bojian left with a shipload of goods, although the books given by Yang Chong were a little miscellaneous, Zhang Bojian was still very satisfied when he saw that more than 20 of the books had the seal of Boling Cui's family; Zhang Bojian repeatedly told Yang Chong that he still had to collect some books when he had the opportunity, and he would definitely want it next time he came over.

After Zhang Bojian left, Yang Chong was still not ready to see Wang Jun, Yang Chong, as a traverser, himself respected people like Xiangshi, Yuan Tiangang was one of Yang Chong's taboos, so Yang Chong was not interested in what Yuan Tiangang recommended, unless it was a celebrity. In fact, Yang Chong didn't know enough about the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Wang Junjun was still a little famous in history, and was called Shen Yi and strategic.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan entered the Dingguan, Wang Junjun and Wang Junkuo led the troops to surrender, worship the general, seal the Xinxing County Duke with military exploits, and relocate the general Zuo Wuwei. After following Tang Taizong Li Shimin to conquer Liaodong, and Goryeo fought in the garrison mountain, fought and died, Li Shimin deeply mourned, and gave the general of Zuowei, the governor of Youzhou, Xing Guogong, and buried Zhaoling.

Wang Jun was stunned and couldn't guess Yang Chong's thoughts, and couldn't meet him several times, so he had to send a letter to Yuan Tiangang and Pei Ju, but he knew that Yang Chong must have a reason why he didn't see him, and this reason was probably Yang Chong's weakness; Wang Jun was stunned and thought of a plan, and found a teaching errand in Chang'an, temporarily settled, and found an opportunity to contact Yang Chong again in the future.
