On the school field in the barracks, an elite army was conducting drills, and the shouts of killing shook the world, and in an official room next to the school field, a very young official was seriously handling official business, no matter how loud the soldiers on the school field shouted, he was deaf and unaffected in the slightest.

"Pei joined the army, those merchants surrounded the camp gate, and some soldiers in the army couldn't sit still, do you think it's time to let those merchants in?" At this moment, I saw a lieutenant walking in quickly, and then asked the young official very respectfully.

"Don't worry, those profiteers have pressed the price too much, they only paid a few dozen yuan for a thousand yuan, or even bought it at a lower price, these things were brought back by their brothers who worked hard, and they definitely couldn't be so cheap for nothing, so let them stay outside, and don't think about coming in if the price doesn't rise!" I saw this young man known as Pei Shenjun put down the pen in his hand, then raised his head and smiled.

This Pei is surprisingly young, he definitely doesn't look more than twenty years old, he has no beard, his face is delicate, and the corners of his mouth have some fluffy whiskers unique to young people, but although he is young, he has a resolute face, and his words also have a convincing temperament.

"But if we really make those merchants angry and leave, who should we sell the things in our hands, and we can't go back to the frontier, right?" However, Pei joined the army's words did not put the captain at ease, but asked worriedly again.

They were originally soldiers stationed in the northern Xinjiang, this time they were ordered to go to the southwest to quell the rebellion, and then return to Chang'an to receive the merit, but after receiving the credit, they have to rush back to the frontier in the shortest possible time, if they don't sell it now, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell it after they reach the frontier, even if someone is willing to buy it, the price must be several times lower than that of Chang'an, so they are now in a hurry to sell the loot in their hands.

"Those profiteers just caught our mind of being in a hurry to make a move, so they dared to lower the price so much, businessmen are profit-seeking, in their eyes, the spoils in our hands are a big piece of fat, they will not give up so easily!" I saw this young Pei Senjun speak again.

Seeing that this Pei joined the army with such a resolute attitude, the captain had no choice, and finally had to retreat, originally with Pei's position in the army, he was not qualified to be in charge of the entire battalion, but when General Su left before, the military camp was handed over to Pei to join the army for management, and the other party was not only a student of General Su, but also always smart, and he also made many tricks on the battlefield, so his prestige in the army was not comparable to ordinary people.

After the lieutenant left, the young Pei joined the army and continued to deal with the affairs of the army, and with the calmness he showed, it really did not match his current age.

However, just when Pei joined the army and just dealt with official business for a while, he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps outside the door, he thought that it was a person in the army who couldn't hold his breath, and he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and then raised his head and just wanted to say something, but he didn't expect that it was Su Dingfang who went out early this morning, and there was an extraordinary middle-aged man beside him, saying that he was middle-aged, but in fact, he looked like he was twenty or thirty years old, but the other party's eyes were a little vicissitudes, which made people impressed, and people generally had this kind of eyes. He must have a wealth of experience.

"Keep the promise, come and let me introduce you, this is the Duke of Yan Guo that I often mention to you!" Without waiting for Pei to react, he saw Su Dingfang very excitedly introduced to him.

"Yan Guogong!" When Pei Senjun heard that the other party turned out to be the famous concubine Li Xiu, he couldn't help but stand up in shock, and then walked forward quickly and saluted, "Join the army Pei Xingjian, meet the concubine!" ”

"You're welcome, you're Pei Xingjian?" Li Xiu also showed a curious gaze at this time, looked up and down at the very young official in front of him and said, when he came in just now, he already knew that the student Su Dingfang accepted was actually the famous Pei Xingjian in history, which made him very curious, so he didn't go anywhere after entering the camp, and came to see him directly.

Although Pei Xingjian is not as famous as Fang Xuanling and others, he is also a generation of famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty, especially after Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, the founding heroes withered, Pei Xingjian became one of the most famous ministers in the Tang Gaozong period.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Pei Xingjian's greatest achievement is not to shock the Western Regions, but that he knows how to make good use of people, and has recommended talents to the Tang Dynasty many times, such as Wenchen has Su Wei, Wang Xian, etc., and the generals are Cheng Wuting, Zhang Qianyue, Cui Zhiyu, Wang Fangyi, Silkworm Jinbi, Liu Jingtong, Guo Zhifeng, Li Duozuo, Heizhi Changzhi and others, all of whom he recommended to the Tang Dynasty, these people will either become a generation of famous ministers or a generation of famous generals in the future, it can be said that almost half of the main generals in the late Tang Gaozong army were recommended by Pei Xingjian.

However, what attracted Li Xiu the most about Pei Xingjian was not his exploits in history, but that Pei Xingjian had a fierce general brother, this person was named Pei Xingyan, who was known as the "enemy of ten thousand people" in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and was once the general of Wagangzhai with Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, and even Qin Qiong admitted that if he really fought on the battlefield, he would not be sure to win Pei Xingyan, but unfortunately Pei Xingyan died at the hands of Wang Shichong, who was only in his twenties at the time, and died young.

Of course, people in later generations may not be familiar with the name Pei Xingyan, but if you mention "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Pei Yuanqing, who ranks third among the thirteen heroes and makes two sledgehammers, must have a lot of memories, and Pei Yuanqing's prototype in history is Pei Xingyan, Li Xiu liked to listen to the commentary of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" when he was a child, and later not only read the original book, but also found relevant historical materials, so he also knows something about Pei Xingyan, Pei Xingjian is Pei Xingyan's younger brother, and their father Pei Renji, also died at the hands of Wang Shichong.

At this time, Pei Xingjian not only felt that Li Xiu's gaze was a little strange when he looked at him, but also the questions he asked were a little strange, as if the other party seemed to know him, but he didn't remember where he had seen Li Xiu. However, he finally replied very respectfully: "The next official is Pei Xingjian!" ”

"Haha, when I was on the road just now, Dingfang kept boasting to me that he had accepted a good student, and now I see that it is really extraordinary!" Li Xiu also felt that he was a little out of shape at this time, and hurriedly laughed to cover it up at the moment.

"Thank you for the compliment, it is also my blessing to be able to get the teaching of Master Su!" Pei Xingjian said again at this time, neither humble nor arrogant.

Pei Xingjian was born in the Pei family in Hedong, and his father and brother were both famous generals of the former Sui, but his life experience was very bumpy, because his father and brother conspired to assassinate Wang Shichong, and was killed by Wang Shichong, and the Pei family was also implicated, and Pei Xingjian's mother was pregnant at that time, so he finally escaped from Luoyang in chaos, and then gave birth to him and raised him.

Originally, Pei Xingjian was left with such a lone seedling, at the request of his mother, Pei Xingjian also abandoned martial arts, the last imperial examination, he passed the examination of the Ming Jingke at a young age, but the Pei family's blood may flow with the tradition of martial arts, Pei Xingjian even if he embarked on the road of the imperial examination, but still wanted to enter the army to serve, it just so happened that his father and brother were friendly with Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong and others, so with their help, he entered the army, and served as a member of the army under Su Dingfang, and was quickly appreciated by Su Dingfang, was accepted as a student by the other party, and he was ready to give away the art of war he had learned.

Li Xiu was also very interested in Pei Xingjian, and asked some about the other party's situation at the moment, Pei Xingjian also answered one by one, he knew that his teacher Su Dingfang was recommended by Li Xiu, and Su Dingfang also highly respected Li Xiu, in fact, among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the only thing he admired the most was the horse in front of him, so Pei Xingjian also behaved very respectfully.

However, after chatting a few words, Li Xiu suddenly thought of the reason why he came here today, after all, it was not early now, and it would be dark if he delayed any longer, and the bank was opening for the first day, so there must be some things to deal with by himself, so he didn't want to go home tonight.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu didn't dare to say any more gossip, and immediately turned his head to Su Dingfang and asked, "Dingfang, where is the loot you brought back this time, is it still in the hands of the soldiers?" ”

The Tang Dynasty allowed the soldiers of the army to take the captured materials as their own trophies, of course, some of them must be handed over, and the rest were their private, the last time they destroyed the Turks and returned to the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiu found that many soldiers had large bags around them, loaded with the spoils they got on the grassland, Li Xiu himself also took a Jieli waist knife home to collect, this knife was originally captured by Su Dingfang in the Jieli tooth tent, and later gave it to Li Xiu as a gift.

"That's not true, because the loot captured this time is a bit too much, and it is inconvenient for the soldiers to carry it, so Shou Covenant proposed to me that the soldiers' loot be collected and transported and preserved, and now they are all stacked in the warehouse!" Su Dingfang pointed at Pei Xingjian at this time and praised again, Pei Xingjian is not only his student, but also his right-hand man.

Li Xiu couldn't help but praise a few words when he heard this, if the loot was scattered in the hands of the soldiers, I am afraid it would take time to check it, and now that Pei Xingjian has collected it and put it into the warehouse, it will be much more convenient.

At that moment, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian took Li Xiu to the treasury, but when Li Xiu saw the things in the warehouse, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression, and it took a while before he came to his senses, and at this moment, he suddenly found that there was a big problem in the bank, if it was not improved, I am afraid it would affect his original intention of establishing the bank!
