Chapter 258: The Gentry, the Merchant, and the Scribe
Except for Zheng Erren, who had a ghost in his heart, almost all the rest of the scribes came, and the state officials He Dongwen, Ma Zheng and others all looked at the group of generals behind Xiao Yi in horror at this time, and they didn't dare to be a little arrogant.

Although He Dongwen, the state official, is a civil official, he usually governs the people, and compared to other civil officials, he is relatively stout, and the two people behind him always follow cautiously and dare not say a word.
When He Dongwen saw Xiao Yi coming over, he also smiled and stepped forward to say a few words.
There is also Ambassador Chen Tai, who is a thin and thin person, who is respectful and full of fear for Xiao Yibi.
Shi Yun, the state judge, and Su Yunfang, the director of the Department of Medicine, each had a beard, and they were both full of respectful patting Xiao Yi's ass.
Xiao Yi has not paid much attention to these people, and this time Xiao Yi watched them carefully one by one, imprinting their appearances, names and positions in his mind, which may be used in the future.
The civil officials congratulated Xiao Yi on his victory, what to continue the feelings of colleagues, Xiao Yi's subordinate soldiers were mighty and heroic, Xiao Yi just smiled at them back, and he didn't know what to say if he said something else.
After the scribes, there were representatives of some local gentry and merchants, among whom Zhao Yanglian, the head of the Zhao family in Ulzhou, was invited to attend and talk about Zhao Xianglian.
On the day of the rebellion, she imprinted the figure of Zhou Baotai, the deputy commander of the night, all along, the two often met secretly, and there was a feeling of breaking the thread, Zhou Baotai refused at first, and he couldn't think of Zhao Lianlian, a rich daughter.
After a long time, it slowly loosened.
Xiao Yi has never seen Zhao Yilian, but Zhao Yilian has seen Xiao Ye many times, she stepped forward to give a gift, and said gracefully: "It is really the honor of the Zhao family to meet the Lord of Ethics this time." β
Xiao Yi only knew that the Zhao family was a big family in Ulzhou, and it had always been in a relatively important position in the gentry group, and he saw that the head of his family was actually a woman, and he was a little surprised at the moment, such a weak woman supported this huge family business so much?
Xiao Yi smiled and said: "The eldest lady is polite, this official just repelled those thieves, and the future will be long." β
Zhao Yanlian's beautiful eyes opened slightly, looked up at Xiao Yi, and said, "When I saw it today, Lord Ethics is really not an ordinary man, and he will definitely not be a person in the pool in the future." β
After Zhao Yanlian finished speaking, several heads of the main gentry families behind him followed closely and echoed them one after another.
Representatives of several merchants came forward, including Niu Pingmao, a big cattle and sheep merchant in Ulzhou, and almost all of the cattle and sheep transactions in this vicinity were involved, as for whether there was a transaction with those Mongolians and Houjin people, it is unknown.
At this time, Niu Pingmao squinted his eyes, and his fat body made a funny salute to Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi smiled in return.
Yin Luohua, a big cloth businessman, although he is a big businessman in Ulzhou, but the Tao family has opened a lot of shops in Ulzhou in recent years, and Yin Luohua naturally can't compete with the Tao family who has been doing the cloth business for generations.
His business was robbed a lot, and when he saw Xiao Yi coming over, this middle-aged man in his forties barely squeezed out a smile, and he bowed without humility or arrogance, but in Xiao Yi's opinion, this smile was really ugly than crying.
Wu Yuan, a large grain and rice household, with the name 'Yuantai', almost monopolized the grain and rice market in Ulzhou, and in the entire Datong East Road, there are also many branches of the 'Yuantai' brand, which is really a large grain and rice household.
This Wu Yuan has a hooked nose and a pointed chin, and when he was introduced, he smiled at Xiao Yi and said: "I have long heard that the martial arts of the master of ethics are famous in the world, and it is really better to see than to hear." β
Xiao Yi also smiled: "Mr. praised it falsely." β
After introducing them one by one, Xiao Yi actually saw a familiar person, that is, the eldest lady of the Tao family in Daizhou - Tao Qingfeng.
After being rescued by Lai Damao last time, he stayed in Ulzhou and never returned to Daizhou, and wrote to his father Tao Wanfu that he wanted to gain a foothold in Ulzhou.
My daughter is going to be independent, this is a good thing, although Tao Wanfu didn't know why, he immediately agreed, and replied to Tao Qingfeng with a letter, which roughly means that Tao Qingfeng should work hard in Ulzhou, and the Tao family will fully support it.
Hearing that Ulzhou was besieged, Tao Wanfu couldn't eat and sit well all day, and after half a month, everyone lost a lot of weight.
When Xiao Yi's victory was passed to Daizhou, Tao Wanfu remembered the Ulzhou ethics who saved his daughter twice.
Tao Qingfeng stepped forward, looked at Xiao Yi directly, and saw that Xiao Yi had been looking at her for a long time, but he still didn't mean to retract his gaze.
Her heart suddenly throbbed, and she smiled: "My father is very happy to hear that Lord Ethics has made great contributions again, this time, one is to thank Lord Ethics for saving the little girl last time, and secondly~"
Speaking of this, Tao Qingfeng looked around at the surrounding merchants and said softly: "My father has a word, all the cloth of Lord Xiao and the Yong'an Army in Ulzhou, our Tao family has all covered, even if it is to congratulate the adults on their immortal achievements!" β
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding merchants immediately discussed, this is the Tao family of the fourth generation of cloth, the Tao family supports this Xiao Yi so much, it seems that the old man has chosen a good son-in-law, and he is immediately envious and jealous of Xiao Yi.
Also, Xiao Yi is twenty-five years old, but he is in a high position as an ethics officer, and this time everyone thinks that Ulzhou will be catastrophic, but Xiao Yi still killed Wang Zishun with a weak momentum.
Promotion is inevitable, such outstanding people will definitely have a great future in the future, who does not want to win over, those merchants and gentry who have no daughters in the family are suddenly beating their chests, and they feel a pity in their hearts.
Xiao Yi knew that Tao Qingfeng was already very surprised, and Tao Qingfeng's words surprised Xiao Yi, the Tao family was extremely rich, known as the fourth cloth cloth in Daming, and received the full support of the Tao family, which can save a lot of expenses, and at the same time, it can also deter some merchants who want to get into it.
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Yongan Army, thank you for the strong support of the eldest lady and Mr. Tao, and I will kill more thieves and captives to repay!" β
Tao Qingfeng giggled, her wonderful eyes swirled on Xiao Yi, and she said softly: "The little woman doesn't want the gratitude of all the soldiers. β
Smelling the faint incense coming from his nose, Xiao Yi's brain buzzed, and it happened that the introduction of greetings had been completed at this time, and Wang Zhan took everyone into the lobby.
Xiao Yi hurriedly followed, Liu Tong picked up from behind, and said with envy: "My lord, it seems that Miss Tao has a little to the adult... Meaning..."
Xiao Yi scolded with a smile and kicked over, but Liu Tong flexibly avoided it.
Shi Lu smiled sideways: "My lord, this is undignified, if you want to kick him, you have to go back to the barracks and kick it again." β
Xiao Yi said as he walked: "What kind of decency do military attaches want, it's just to kill thieves." β
After hearing this, the military attachΓ©s praised one after another.
β¦β¦
Compared with the profligacy of the military general's banquet, this civil official's celebration banquet is extremely boring, this is the most boring celebration banquet Xiao Yi has ever participated in in his life.
Wang Zhan entertained Xiao Yi, everything was according to etiquette and rules, and when he arrived in the lobby, he didn't sit down, and everyone greeted each other again, and then the guests and hosts sat down.
This is followed by the routine speech of Lord Zhizhou, if this is done by a martial artist, it is less than three sentences, raise a glass and drink, and everything is in the wine.
Wang Zhan said that it was not over, what to build a state city together, share the worries of the holy monarch, the civil and military officials present need to be in the same boat, and the gentry and merchants must also understand the hardships of the imperial court, and there are a lot of nonsense.
After Wang Zhan finished speaking, Xiao Yi and the generals sitting beside him finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was even more terrifying.
The gentry and the merchant clerks all stepped forward to chant poems against each other, and in the midst of the prostitutes in the hall playing and singing, they had a good time, composing song after song, becoming more and more elated, leaving a group of military generals to sit and stare dryly.
The performance of the generals in Yuanzhou City was okay, Li Erniu was drowsy, Zhou Ding looked up at the sky, Yuan Shaogong looked straight ahead, and he didn't know that he thought he was listening carefully, but he was actually asleep early.
As for the generals of the Yong'an Army under Xiao Yi, they were all from a big and rough background, and they were sitting all over the body, but they couldn't move, and they all sat there blowing their beards and staring.
Shi Gang muttered softly: "Niang Xipi, I knew that this banquet was so boring and I wouldn't have come, but I was quite happy to have a long experience before I came..."
Huang Yang yawned, Shi Lu looked at the desktop in a daze, Wang Dayong stared at the hips of the prostitute and thought about it, Liu Tong was the most serious one, he was actually listening carefully.
As for Xiao Yi, what else could he do except sit there and look at the hall with a smile on his face? (To be continued.) )
