After the meal was full, Zhao Dezhao accompanied Yang Meng and the others, boarded the carriage, and went to the north of the city, and Yang Meng was in the restaurant Yang Meng meant that if Zhao Dezhao encountered any trouble, such as someone secretly watching, then Changchun Hall came forward to protect Zhao Dezhao for the great cause of restoring the country and cleared the obstacles on the road ahead for him.

The carriage arrived in the north of the city, Zhao Dezhao under the leadership of Yang Meng and Wan Song, entered an inn, this inn is called Liangcheng Inn, Zhao Dezhao looked up, almost blinded, in later generations, his own college lesbian table, I like to read a book called "Liangcheng Inn", the author seems to be called Antonye, the story tells the story of the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the traitor Cai Jing was in power, the first major cult in the rivers and lakes "Qinglong Society" took advantage of the rise, and the king of a generation of killers, Lengbeicheng, was frustrated and returned to the Liangcheng Inn, and then Zhao Dezhao forgot other contents......

Yang Meng saw that Zhao Dezhao was distracted, so he asked, "Zhao'er, what's wrong?" Have you been here before? ”

Zhao Dezhao shook his head, touched his forehead with his hand, inexplicably withdrew the wry smile on his face, and said, "No, father-in-law, I have been busy with the business of the restaurant recently, and sometimes I am in a trance, and I am fine." ”

Yang Meng also felt that Zhao Dezhao was only five years old now, but he was busy with the affairs of adults, which was really unfair to him, and it was easy to consume his mind, he said: "What? Are you alone in the restaurant now? Why don't you let someone who is handy help you. ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "Yes, I asked him to be in charge of the affairs of Guangwei Group, but now that person has gone to Luoyang, I told him to open a branch of Guangwei Building in Luoyang and enter the market in Luoyang City." ”

Although Yang Meng doesn't understand what "market" is, he knows that Zhao Dezhao has a bigger plan in his heart, and he agrees with his point of view, for Zhao Dezhao, Guangwei Group is his child, and for Yang Meng, Zhao Dezhao has such ambitions, he may not think it's a bad thing.

The three of them talked and laughed and walked into the Liangcheng Inn.

Yang Meng took Zhao Dezhao to a room and instructed Wan Song to invite Lao Jiu to this room. Zhao Dezhao waited for a while, and saw a blind face with one eye, covered with a long black cloth, walking steadily, he had heard his father-in-law say that Lao Jiu was his guard, and it was estimated that he was a practitioner, and he was a few years older than his father-in-law, and he had been following his father-in-law for more than forty years.

"Zhao'er, this is Uncle Nine."

"Zhao'er has seen Uncle Nine! Uncle Nine is polite. ”

Lao Jiu saw Zhao Dezhao's polite posture, and saw a relieved expression on Yang Meng's face, he guessed that the child in front of him should be Zhao Dezhao, and now he should be his young master.

"Lao Jiu has seen the young master!"

"Uncle Nine don't be like this, Zhao'er can't afford such a big gift, not to mention that I'm just a child, you always torture me, you are an old man next to your father-in-law, I should respect you, call you 'Uncle Nine', you have worked hard for your father-in-law for more than 40 years, and here the younger generation bows to you for your father-in-law." After Zhao Dezhao finished speaking, he respectfully replied.

"The young officiant is heavy, how can he be old and decrepit! The young master has good intentions, and the old man understands it. ”

Lao Jiu fell into the land of Huainan at the beginning, but fortunately met the army of Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu at that time, and was favored by the king of Wu, and then became Yang Meng's guard. After more than 40 years, born and died, he was blind in one eye and was blinded by swearing to protect Yang Meng to the death, this great kindness, Yang Meng is difficult to repay in this life, and Zhao Dezhao, as Yang Meng's righteous son, should be like this.

What's more, Zhao Dezhao admires this kind of heroic deeds of loyal protectors, and Yang Meng has a son, which is also his creation.

Yang Meng, who was on the side, saw this situation, and recalled the past in his heart, and unconsciously a muddy teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye, silently, he was afraid that the people present would see it, so he turned his head, and waited for the tears on his face to dry, and then turned back again.

"Lao Jiu, you can accept Zhao'er's heart, in the future, whether in front of people or after people, you are Zhao'er's ninth uncle, you are also a man I respect Yang Meng, we have always been friends." Yang Meng said this, it should be to repay Lao Jiu for your merit and hard work, as well as life and death.

"Lord, young master!" When the one-eyed Lao Jiu heard Yang Meng and Zhao Dezhao say this, he felt that all the hardships he had suffered over the years were worth it.

"Lao Jiu, okay, you don't want to be like this, I brought Zhao'er here today so that he can familiarize himself with everything in our Changchun Hall, so that he can take on the next inheritance of Changchun Hall as soon as possible." Yang Meng returned to the topic.

"Okay, Lord, young master, I will tell you everything about our Changchun Hall, as for what the young master has to do now, is to slowly familiarize himself with and master the affairs of Changchun Hall! Young master, do you have this faith? ”

"Ninth Uncle, I said don't call me young master, you can call me Zhao'er, and I have the confidence to let Changchun Hall flourish, and I also avenged my father-in-law for the blood and revenge, and gave an explanation to the subjects of the world."

"Okay, less...... Zhao'er, the Lord didn't misunderstand you, Lao Jiu will follow Zhao'er in the future. Lao Jiu immediately told Zhao Dezhao some things about Changchun Hall, Zhao Dezhao felt that his head was not enough, and when he listened, he sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned.

When Uncle Nine said everything, he said: "Uncle Nine, I understand the ins and outs of Changchun Hall, and why you founded Changchun Hall in the first place, but now the world is still split, and Changchun Hall is located in various states, counties, and towns, with a large number of people, and it is inevitable that some people use Changchun Hall to achieve his ulterior secrets, and our purpose is to remove the carrion on the thighs and ensure that they can survive." ”

"Culling carrion? How to deal with this, so as not to ensure that Changchun Hall will not produce a chaotic situation over time. ”

Zhao Dezhao didn't think of how to do it for a while? He shook his head and said: "Uncle Nine, father-in-law, you are actually wrong, I plan to boil the frog in warm water, step by step, step by step, if it is eliminated at once, the other party will react, cut constantly, and the reason is messy, it is difficult to ensure that you will not be bitten by the vicious dog, and the vicious dog will not be asked in any case." ”

Zhao Dezhao suddenly used the later generations of "boiled frogs in warm water" and Li Yu's poems to compare the current situation, although Yang Meng, Lao Jiu and Wan Song didn't know about boiling frogs in warm water, but they were forced to bite rabbits and still understood the truth, and all three nodded.

Zhao Dezhao saw that these three people had this expression on their faces, and he said eloquently: "I plan to open the Guangwei Group to various countries, and then use the restaurant to monitor the Changchun Hall branches scattered in various countries. That's all I have to do now. But I will open Guangwei Group as soon as possible, and my next plan is to open the restaurant to Luoyang, Jiangning Mansion and Chengdu, father-in-law, uncle nine, brother-in-law, what do you think? ”

Zhao Dezhao knew that Emperor Guo Wei of Zhou was going to conquer Shu next year, and then recovered the four states that were seized by Shu, and then conquered Tang three times and annexed the fourteen states of Jiangbei of Tang. In the next six years, Guo Rongnan conquered two major countries, so Zhao Dezhao thought it was an opportunity to enter other countries and establish his own sphere of influence, but militarily, Zhao Dezhao didn't want to participate now, mainly because his father Zhao Kuangyin was a soldier of the forbidden army beside the emperor.

But in order to ensure that the history of this period does not deviate greatly, he decided to start with business, and then use the invisible hand of business to penetrate into various countries, and Zhao Dezhao is also confident that he can do business very well.

In addition to business matters, he also has to sort out the various forces in each country where Changchun Hall is located, so that the two can be better combined and complement each other for a win-win situation.

Yang Meng said: "Zhao'er's method is good, and the effect is slow, but it is to make progress in stability, step by step, and we can not go out for the time being, but since Zhao'er is the young master of Changchun Hall, everyone should follow the instructions of the young master, so I agree with Zhao'er's idea." ”

Lao Jiu didn't know, but everything should be done according to the instructions from above, so he also agreed with Zhao Dezhao's idea; Wan Song also agreed, and in this way, Zhao Dezhao and the four of them talked for a long time in the room, and before they knew it, it was almost dusk.

……

On the outskirts of Xinzheng over there, Emperor Guo Rong of Zhou left the imperial mausoleum, took his own soldiers, and set off all the way to the east, and after a night, he finally caught up with the front army of the Zhou army.

The Zhou army temporarily stayed on the plain and stationed a large camp, and Zhou Emperor Guo Rong entered the main general's camp.

At this time, a secret agent of the Wude Division entered from outside the tent door, and he bowed down and said, "See the official family!" ”

Guo Rong asked: "Pingshen, have you received a report from the capital now?" ”

"There is no official family yet, everything is calm in Kaifeng."

"Oh, that's fine, you go down first."

"No!"

……

At this moment, the Jiangning Mansion of the Tang State, the spies lurking in Kaifeng of the Zhou State reported that Guo Rong personally led the army to return south, and now he has reached the vicinity of Mengjin.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing took Feng Yanji and Chang Mengxi as bachelors, Feng Yanlu as Zhongshusheren, Chen Jue as privy envoys, and Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui as deputy envoys. Chang Mengxi was on duty in the Xuanzheng Palace, specializing in the secret order, while Feng Yanji and others were all treacherous and dictatorial, and the Tang people called them the "five ghosts".

Li Jing reused the "five ghosts", changed the national policy of Liezu to protect the territory and the people, and successively took advantage of the civil strife in Fujian and Chu to send troops to attack them, and successively attacked Fujian and Chu (In August 946, Tang destroyed Fujian. In 951, Tang destroyed Chu) But although these two countries have been destroyed, they are not actually in the hands of the Tang State. The Tang State has been fighting in the east and west for many years, and the wealth accumulated by the previous generation was quickly squandered.

It is rumored that when the Zhou army defeated the Han army, in Jiangning Mansion and the imperial court, Li Jing sat on top of the court, and the five ghosts were all people who were good at poetry and literature, and they didn't know anything about military affairs, so they didn't say anything. Such a great opportunity, if you take advantage of the Zhou army to meet the enemy of the Han Khitan coalition army, at this time the Tang army waved north, Kaifeng City does not know who the surname is, so miss the opportunity, and Li Jing is alone, he was saving the Khitan and attacking the Central Plains, this policy is right, but the Khitan of the Han State went south, and he could take advantage of this opportunity, but he did not take advantage of it.

Now, according to the report of Tanma, the army of Zhou went south to Kaifeng, and the Tang court did not make any big moves.
