Chapter 316 There are gains and losses, and the military situation in the south is urgent
The old lady of the palace, who monopolized Li Jiaping's business in the Tang Kingdom, and Shen Daguan, who monopolized the business of Yecheng, because these two places were close to Dingbei County, and they were both familiar with the Dingbei garrison, so it didn't take long to finish this business, earn enough money, and bring back a large number of daily necessities from Luodu, and returned to Dingbei County to live a comfortable life behind closed doors.

When Li Deyi returned to Dingbei County with his soldiers and horses, the old lady was playing with his newborn grandson at home. Suddenly, I heard the big housekeeper running in a panic, shouting loudly: "Old lady, old lady, it's amazing!" When the old lady heard that her chief housekeeper Fu was so flustered, she thought that something had happened. Fuquan has followed him to the north and south since the twelfth or thirteenth, he has never seen any scenes, he has long been calm and introverted, his joy and anger are invisible, and most of the things that can make him panic are big things.
The old lady of the palace is worthy of the ups and downs of the business sea all her life, and every time there is a major event, she hands the little grandson in her arms to the wet nurse, stands up and straightens the folds on her clothes, and straightens out the cuffs that her grandson has broken away, and then she steps out of the house.
"Xiaofu, why are you so flustered?" The old lady asked in a deep voice. The name of Xiaofu, the whole family is only called the old lady of the palace, he and the housekeeper Fuquan have been working hard together since they were teenagers, so many years, they have long been like brothers, but because of the early determination of the name at birth, they have to be commensurate with the master and servant outside. The old lady of the palace has not called Fuquan by his nickname for many years, and now he is shouting like this to make Fuquan calm down.
When Fuquan saw the old lady in the palace, he immediately couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and when he raised his head again, he was already in tears, and when he opened his mouth to speak, his lips began to tremble. Fuquan is now an old man in his sixties, even if he is the eldest son of the palace family, the palace uncle has to be honored when he sees him. Over the years, I have long been honored and disgraced, and my heart is like water. Unexpectedly, this time, he was finally broken by what he saw in front of him.
"Old, old lady. Brother Gong, it's amazing. Our identity as a member of the Dingbei Chamber of Commerce turned out to be true, and it really worked! Fu Quan swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and then said a sentence completely.
The old lady said strangely: "The black paper and white characters of the original signature and painting are clear, and my eight-year-old great-grandson has now been sent to the Dingbei Military Academy, can this matter be fake?" ”
"Brother Gong, I'm not talking about this. When, the little general promised to send troops to stand up for us. Fuquan stretched out his hand and grabbed the sleeve of the old lady of the palace and said excitedly.
"So you said that? That's what General Xiao Li said, but what can he do? In this way, our businessmen have always been looked down upon and ridiculed as lowly businessmen. It's rare for General Li to be able to trade fairly with us now, so why think about it so much. General Xiao Li said that just to stabilize us, and he didn't have to take it seriously. "The old lady has suffered too much in her life, and she has never heard any nice words, so she is very calm now.
Fuquan simply said directly: "Old lady! That General Xiao Li really sent troops this time! rescued Zheng Million, who was robbed by bandits! Not only that, but he also killed all the bandits who dared to rob the road. I walked closer and took a look, and the bandits' heads alone pulled three carts! "I really haven't seen the world, where can the three major cars fit 10,000 heads.
Li Deyi was too lazy to chase after the bandits who escaped, and only cut down more than 3,000 heads. Cutting these heads, Li Deyi is also useful. Along the way, use these three car heads to worship the mountain. Whenever there were bandits on both sides of the road who were falling grass and gathering in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, Li Deyi would put the heads of these three cars outside the door of their cottage and shouted: "As long as you don't move the caravan of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment in the future, I don't care what you do." Whoever dares to move my caravan with a finger, these three carts of heads will be his end! ”
Li Deyi's actions, if those famous ministers can see it, they have to laugh at him. What's the difference between this and a wild dog peeing on a turf? You're just a bandit, you're here to demonstrate and intimidate.
Although Li Deyi did this, he was neither atmospheric nor scene, let alone benevolent. But the old lady of the palace, an old man who is familiar with human affairs, eats his set.
"What?! Are you serious?! The old lady couldn't hold it steady anymore, and even her hands began to tremble.
"It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes. That Zheng Million sat in the carriage, showing off his might, so majestic! Although he lost the deal, he was happier than how many silver coins he earned, and his face was full of smiles. Fu Quan replied loudly.
"Quick! Let someone go to Curry to find the member wooden card issued by the Dingbei Chamber of Commerce, and prepare a generous gift, I will personally ask to see the little general! Wait, Xiaofu, you go to prepare the ceremony in person, I'm afraid that the children in the family don't understand this matter, in case they treat General Li slowly. The old lady trembled, and her gray beard trembled.
Fu Quan agreed heavily, turned around and left quickly. An old man in his sixties can run faster than a twenty-year-old boy at this time.
When the old lady arrived, Li Deyi had already unloaded the car in the Trade City, settled the soldiers and horses on the expedition, and was busy with the chores. That Zheng Million, who still followed Li Deyi, was grateful for his kindness, but he refused to leave. Li Deyi ignored him and was busy with his own.
When he looked up again, Li Deyi suddenly found that those wealthy businessmen actually surrounded themselves in the middle. "Why are they all here? What are you looking for? Buying and selling are going well, right? Li De snorted and wanted to leave.
The old lady trembled and solemnly took out the wooden plaque symbolizing his membership from his arms and bowed deeply to Li Deyi. The bluffed Li Deyi hurriedly jumped aside and said in a lost voice: "Why is this?" ”
The old lady said excitedly: "The old man has traveled all his life from south to north, and he has seen many high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and heroes. But there has never been a person who is as faithful as the little general. The little general is willing to go out of his way to suppress bandits for us and other businessmen and lowly people. It's really hard for us to repay this kindness. Please accept the old man's salute again" said and saluted again, and at the same time, a circle of merchants around him were also vying to give Li De a salute.
"Oh, you're doing it for? Didn't I say yes at the beginning? Whoever dares to touch your goods, I will lead the army to kill it. You are doing business for me, and you are the people of the North Garrison. You are all members of the Dingbei Chamber of Commerce now, and it is only natural for me to do this, you don't have to be so excited. This time, it's just to exterminate some grass bandits, and it doesn't take much effort. In the future, you can rest assured that you will buy and sell, no matter who it is, even if it is south of the Shuangshui River, as long as you dare to touch you, I will still kill you and get it back. Li Deyi waved his hand indifferently, as if he had done a trivial matter.
When the merchants heard this, they were even more grateful, and there was no need to elaborate on this. After returning home, these businessmen re-found the wooden plaque of the members of the Dingbei Chamber of Commerce that had been shelved, poured out the family heirloom from the treasure box, and solemnly put the wooden plaque into it. Then he called all his children and grandchildren, and announced in public that the wooden plaque was henceforth his family's heirloom, and no one was to damage it. At the same time, the rules and regulations of the Chamber of Commerce were taken out, forcing all children and grandchildren to memorize them overnight, and there must be no mistakes. Whoever dares to be lazy will be expelled from the house forever!
In this world, there are gains and losses. Li Deyi acted like this, although he won the hearts of these wealthy businessmen, but at the same time, he also annoyed a large number of people.
After hearing the housekeeper's report on Li Deyi's request to marry a wife, most of the patriarchs of these big families were shocked and angry. There are a few who are free and easy, and they will laugh at themselves: "Who made us look down on others back then, and it was too late to start." Now that the power of this Weibei camp has been established, where will we still be taken into account. ”
Since then, these big families have completely given up the idea of marrying Li Deyi. It's not that Li Deyi wants too much money, these wealthy families are the shortest, and they have been passed down for more than 400 years.
They can't afford to lose this person, although the main purpose of marrying with the Dingbei garrison is to have this army of soldiers and horses as their own reinforcements, so that they can have a capital to settle down in this troubled era.
However, things in the world are so strange, these families obviously mean this, but they must not say it explicitly. Li Deyi's words pierced their minds, and they felt that their faces were damaged, and they immediately stopped mentioning the marriage, as if it had never happened. Die to save face, that's it.
During this time, the war between Pingtang and Tuliao in the south gradually became more and more intense, and the military reports sent back also increased day by day. The soldiers and horses of the Pingtang Kingdom finally became emboldened after fighting with the colliding army a few times.
There is a fierce general of the Li family named Cheng Yanyin, who preemptively launched a test against the Golden Wolf Cavalry. He took advantage of the fact that the other four-way soldiers and horses were entangled in the colliding army, and no one paid attention to him, so he led the army commander to drive straight into the golden wolf cavalry.
As a result, Cheng Yanyin, who was alone in the depths, fell into an ambush arranged by Fan Guoshi, not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, he was also besieged by seven or eight masters of the five realms with his own soldiers and horses, and finally there were less than 200 cavalry left, and he fled in embarrassment.
These masters of the Five Realms are all the good hands sent out by those big families after they defected to the Tuliao Kingdom, as well as the children of the clan. After discussing with Emperor Tuliao, Fan Guoshi finally decided to use these masters of cultivating Yuan Qi. The masters of these great families were organized into a separate army, called Wolf Tooth Capital, which was specially used to attack and kill the generals of the Ping Tang Kingdom.
This return trip to bite the silver is to be the first victim. Fortunately, this Cheng Yin is not only a fierce general, but also a deputy general. After he was ambushed, he couldn't get out of the battle for a long time, and he thought that he would die here.
However, at this moment, the sky suddenly overcast, and the thick black clouds directly blocked all the sunlight, and the entire battlefield suddenly dimmed. In an instant, the day became like night, and the darkness could not be seen. Cheng Yanyin took this opportunity to take the cavalry around him, took the path and fought desperately into the mountains, turned three times and two times, and finally disappeared into the vast dense forest, and escaped by luck.
At this time, it was June, and the weather changed as soon as it was said, and a sudden black cloud and heavy rain made the day as dark as night, but it happened to save Cheng Yanyin.
