Chapter 23 Cangzhou Chai Jin

Chai Jin is the bloodline of the royal family of the Later Zhou Dynasty, although there is an iron coupon of the Danshu given by the emperor, after all, it is different from others, and the official naturally can't do it, since he can't get the power, he can only think about money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When it comes to money, we have to say a word about the geographical location of Cangzhou, Cangzhou is connected to Jizhou, close to the Song-Liao border, although after the Tanyuan Alliance, there has always been a tea and horse market between Song and Liao, but the official has always been the most foolish, at this time is no exception, the Liao State restricted horses into the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was not to be outdone, raising the price of tea and salt, which led to the emergence of another profession - smuggling.

One of the more famous is the smuggling of smuggled salt, such as Duan Jingzhu's horse trafficking. And Chai Jin intervened in both of these things, otherwise where would he get the spare money to feed so many customers.

And Li Jing also learned from Song Wandu Qian, there are many sea salt farms in Shandong at this time, Chai Jin has been cooperating with Liangshan to do some private salt business, and the main customer is naturally the north, and he will often sell some horses back to the Great Song Dynasty. Chai Jin was also quite smart, and many of the horses he sold were given to the border army in the north, thus forming a stable financial route.

Chai Jin is a descendant of the previous dynasty, and he is not distressed at all when he digs up the corner of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Jing doesn't believe that Zhao Ji will not know about this, if Chai Jin continues to make friends with good men in Cangzhou, and he doesn't know about winning people's hearts, Zhao Ji, the emperor, may have come to an end. It's just that as long as the firewood is in and out of line, it's up to him.

Li Jing even suspected that in the future, Gao Lian in Gaotang Prefecture arrested Chai Jin, and did not mean Zhao Ji, you must know that Gao Lian is Gao Ji's brother, and Gao Yu is Zhao Ji's hardcore confidant, how can he not understand Chai Jin's embarrassing identity!

Of course, it's useless to think too much, now that Liangshan is in the hands of Li Jing, Li Jing will naturally not cut off this financial road, and this time he also has the meaning of looking for Chai Jin to contact his feelings.

The group traveled for seven or eight days, and finally arrived in Cangzhou, during which Li Jing was also painful and happy, and often got tired of being with Hua Xiaomei, but Hua Rong would always find out at the right time and interrupt the two-person world of the two. By now, Li Jing has listed Hua Rong's coughing sound as the most ugly sound in the world.

Lin Chong is a Zhuangzi who has been to Chai Jin, and now the gold seal on his face is gone, and he walks on the road openly, no one will compare him with the fugitive Lin Chong, but he is depressed Li Jing, all the way is full of his portraits, although there are only seven or eight points of similarity, but Li Jing is not willing to take risks, every time he meets a passerby along the way, he has to cover half of his face with a felt hat, which makes Hua Xiaomei laugh all the way.

Chai Jin doesn't have much to do on weekdays, and he has someone to take care of the smuggling business, and most of the days are hunting, watching people compete in martial arts, or going to see the new heroes in the village, but he also lives comfortably. For comparing himself to Xiao Meng on the rivers and lakes now, to be honest, Chai Jin is still very excited in his heart.

In fact, Chai Jin also knows in his heart that the fate of the Great Song Dynasty is closely related to him, and now he is nothing without the Great Song Dynasty. What he is doing now to recruit Zhuang Ke is actually like a child having a temper, probably just to disgust Zhao Ji. Maybe even Chai Jin himself didn't notice that he was actually a little unwilling in his heart, unwilling to be raised as a pig for the rest of his life.

On this day, Chai Jin came back from hunting, and heard a report from a villager, saying that a guest was visiting, and the person who came claimed to be old. At present, a group of nearly 20 people has been arranged in the guest room.

To tell the truth, the heroes and heroes that Chai Jin has helped are too many to count, even ordinary criminals passing by Zhuangzi, Chai Jin will also send someone to entertain him, and he will give at least ten yuan when he leaves, of course, like Lin Chong, he will naturally be treated well.

Chai Jin likes to recruit heroes, there are many guest rooms in the village, and they are also very large, like this kind of twenty or so people, there are also courtyards for placement. Asked where the yard was, Chai Jin hurried to the guest room, before entering the yard, he saw a person guarding the gate of the courtyard, this person saw Chai coming in from a distance, and quickly entered the yard to report, and when Chai came in front of the courtyard door, he saw that the people inside had come out.

Chai Jin took a closer look, wasn't the one on the left Lin Chong! Chai Jin saw that at this time, Lin Chong swept away the haze on his face in the past, and his face was full of smiles, and even the golden seal was removed. Chai Jin's impression of Lin Chong's face was always bitter, and now seeing Lin Chong come to visit him so high-spirited, Chai Jin was also very happy in his heart, and immediately greeted him.

Lin Chong came to Chai Jin, and immediately hugged his fists, and said, "Lin Chong has seen Chai Daguan." Li Jing and Hua Rong next to Lin Chong also hugged their fists and saluted, and Chai Jin also returned the salute one by one, not mentioning it.

At this time, it was not early, Lin Chong had already informed Chai Jin of the names of Li Jing and Hua Rong, the names of these two Chai Jin had heard of it, but he had not heard of Zhang Jiaotou, Li Kui and Duan Jingzhu, I heard that Zhang Jiaotou was Lin Chong's father-in-law, so he didn't mention it. Before he could sit down and talk more, he saw Chai Jin say that the banquet was ready, so he invited a few people to talk at the banquet.

Li Jing naturally would not refuse, Chai Jin was also very careful, knowing that Li Jing had female dependents and retinues here, and they were all prepared very properly, which made Li Jing feel very comfortable.

In this way, there were Li Jing, Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Zhang Jiaotou, Li Kui, and Duan Jingzhu who went to the banquet with Chai Jin, and called the sergeant who followed Li Jing and Hua Rong's general, leaving only the female dependents in the courtyard, and Chai Jin called many Zhuang guests to accompany him.

When Li Jing arrived at the place of the banquet, he saw that there were three large tables, which were already full of dishes, and he had been preparing for a long time, but this was because there were intimate Zhuang guests to help buy them, and Chai Jin was good at hunting on weekdays, and when there were many prey, Zhuang Shang did a lot of this kind of thing, and there was an organization to follow. Otherwise, it will be too late to wait for Chai Jin to come back.

Chai Jin wanted to invite Lin Chong to sit at the table, but where did Lin Chong want, after several shirks, Chai Jin sat by himself, after two glasses of wine, Chai Jin asked about Lin Chong's recent situation in Liangshan, Lin Chong did not hide it, and told the fire that day in the Liangshan Juyi Hall, Chai Jin was a little sad after hearing it, just said:

"When the Zhuang Ke who sent my brother to Liangshan came back, he told me that Wang Lun wanted to refuse to accept my brother, I just didn't expect that he still wanted to hurt my brother, when I saw that he was a scholar, I funded him, but I didn't expect him to be such a person!"

Lin Chong comforted himself here, and Li Jing also got up and pleaded guilty: "There is also the fault of the junior brother in this matter, and I also asked the big officials for guilt this time!" ”

Chai Jin naturally didn't blame Li Jing, but said that Wang Lun's life should be like this, so he didn't mention the matter, and asked why Lin Chong appeared in Cangzhou, and Lin Chong told Li Jing that he helped settle his family, and now he went to Qingzhou to pick up his family, etc., Chai Jin was amazed.

By the time the matter was finished, it was already dark, the lights had already been lit around, and everyone had drunk a lot of wine. Li Jing was suddenly a little anxious, and Chai Jin found a Zhuang Ke to lead the way and lead Li Jing to the east corridor.
