A trip relaxed the nervous nerves, and they went to work as soon as they returned to Xilin. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Bin is still buried in the bamboo slips and thinking about the countermeasures brought by all kinds of troubles, so he simply does not have the past, and the scholars who have joined Xilin have filled some grassroots vacancies, and the people's livelihood is developing in a better direction.

Han Anguo, Meng Zhao, and Lu Yan, as soon as the three of them returned to Xilin, they got into the Central Council and did not come out, judging from the officials who came and went from the main organs of the Central Council, some people seemed to be brewing an important plan?

It was on the morning of the second day after the outing, Lin Bin met with several relatively famous wealthy family owners and representatives in the Han Kingdom, among them the more famous ones were the Nie family, the Zhong family, the Xiahou family, the Chen family, the Xiao family, and the other dozen or so small clan patriarchs came to Xilin in person, they saw that Lin Bin's purpose was different, but this was of great significance to Lin Bin, indicating that the family and the wealthy family had gradually accepted the existence of the Han Dynasty and began to contact.

Since there is contact is developing in a good direction, Lin Bin feels that he has been closed for a long time, and it is time to create a good environment to absorb the culture of Chinese civilization to improve his cultural literacy. There is another one, the Nie family, the Zhong family, and the Chen family are all families of merchants, and they are not here to belong, but to negotiate business, which is also part of reviving the economy, isn't it?

The cunning guys didn't say what they meant directly, and Lin Bin was no longer the Leng Touqing who didn't know anything, and after a short contact with each family, he let people take them down to rest, planning to hold a banquet in the evening to wash their dust.

Waiting to appease all the visitors, Lin Bin immediately called someone to summon Han Anguo and Meng Zhao, who were more familiar with the Han Kingdom.

Han Anguo was previously a close confidant of King Liang. The princes of the Han Kingdom, the major lords, the great families, the wealthy families, the powerful and powerful, and some chaotic forces can be said to know the roots.

Needless to say, Meng Zhao has a huge information network within the Han Kingdom in his hands. The Qin people of the former Mengzhao Department infiltrated the temples and folk of the Han Kingdom very thoroughly.

Lin Bin was holding a piece of parchment in his hand, which was full of the list of guests who came to Xilin this time.

"The Nie family and the Zhong family are royal merchants, right? The people they came this time were all senior brothers of the direct lineage, and they were supposed to buy goods for the central government. ”

Han Anguo blinked his eyes and muttered, "What the king said is wrong. ”

Lin Bin was slightly stunned......

"Nie Yi of the Nie family is an official in the court, and it is not wrong for Nie Yi to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but Nie Yi is by no means an imperial businessman, and Nie Yi is not enough to represent the entire Nie family."

Lin Bin didn't know much about the details of the regulations and restrictions of the current clan ministers. He could only wait for Han Anguo to explain.

"Nie Yi uses the family as a resource for advancement, which is the way for the family to be an official. For the Nie family, the fact that the Nie family's children are officials in the court is also the foundation of the Nie family's business. There are children of a family who are officials in the court, and the local officials dare not make it more difficult, so isn't it easier to do such a family business? Nie Yi's work for the Son of Heaven is not the same as the Nie family's work for the Son of Heaven, there is a big difference between the two. ”

Four words popped up in Lin Bin's mind in an instant: collusion between officials and businessmen!

Han Anguo didn't bother to say much when he saw Lin Bin's clear expression. He seems to want to save something. Respectfully added: "The king is clear! The Nie family and the Zhong family did come to buy weapons for the Son of Heaven, and the last general thought that the two preferred commodities must be war horses! ”

If Lin Bin understands this era, he will understand the importance of the Nie family and the Zhong family, the Nie family is a big businessman in the north, and the Nie family has always been doing horse trading, as early as Lin Bin did not come to this era, the Nie family's business partner was the Xiongnu, the friendship between the Nie family and the Xiongnu is extraordinary, and there is no need to say more complicated things, as long as the Xiongnu only recognize the Nie family as a trading partner and reject other businessmen, they should understand how deep the so-called friendship is!

The Huns lacked iron and copper. Iron was a necessary material for making ordnance, and if the Huns did not have copper, it meant that they had no money. At this time, people equated copper with gold, that is, copper is gold in this era! It's just that there is a ratio of copper to real gold.

So the Huns are poor, what do they trade with the Nie family? The Huns not only traded their livestock and horses, but they also exchanged the things they had stolen from the Han Border with the Nie family! To put it plainly: the Nie family is simply one of the channels for the Huns to sell stolen goods!

There is also a bridge family and a Ren family behind the Nie family, and these two families did not send people to Xilin, but judging from past examples, if the Nie family and Xilin have negotiated, then the Qiao family and the Ren family will basically follow the Nie family together.

Any Era - Giants, Giants...... They don't have some stain on them, who believes? The difference is whether the stain has been lifted or not!

Waiting for Meng Zhao to give a slight explanation next to him, Lin Bin jumped up halfway through hearing Huo Di.

Lin Bin's face was a little unsightly, and he almost grinded his teeth: "You mean to say that the Huns invaded the border, burned, killed and looted the Nie family and several other families were accomplices!?" ”

Meng Zhao didn't seem to expect Lin Bin to have such a big reaction, he was born and raised in this era, and he understands the laws of survival in this era very well, in fact, who in the Han Kingdom doesn't know what bad things the Nie family and other families have done? They know, but what if they do? In fact, no one in the family of this era has nothing to see, everything is just silent.

"Cattle! Beast! For the sake of money, he did this! ”

Han Anguo and Meng Zhao immediately had black lines on their faces, and they all felt that Lin Bin was making too much of a fuss.

- This is the limitation of the times and the difference in thinking, the legendary generation gap......

"The Zhong family is an authentic Central Plains businessman, although there are illegal things, there is no big fault. Remarkable, the Zhong family did not do business with foreign people in their lives, once the Huns invested 100,000 gold to buy salt and iron, the head of the Zhong family, Zhong He politely refused, so the Zhong family suffered a lot of losses, the second son of the Zhong family was assassinated because of this matter, although there is no real evidence, but the second son of the Zhong family should have died at the hands of the Huns. ”

Meng Zhao is still there that the rivers are flooding and surging......

Lin Bin had a white and pure fat man in his mind, the fat man was laughing all the time, speaking neither humble nor arrogant, giving people a feeling that he liked to be close, this fat man's name was Zhong Hai. He is the eldest son of the Zhong family. He didn't expect the family behind the fat man to be so tough, he had a good impression of the fat man, but now the impression is even better.

"Oh? Been harassed and tough not to do business with the Huns? Have a backbone! ”

Someone has decided to take good care of the Zhong family. And this decision will be unimaginably beneficial for a businessman!

Han Anguo and Meng Zhao basically figured out Lin Bin's temper, they felt a little funny about the conclusion they had reached, Lin Bin looked very brave, and sometimes he was even more reckless, but Lin Bin was very short-guarded, and he was too short to the point of being overcome, otherwise he would not have issued an order because of a friction on the border. That order plowed the Caucasian tribes on the Heilongjiang Plain again.

What are the two of them thinking now? They were thinking: "It's okay if you bully Han Guo, but if others bully Han Guo, they want to draw a knife and cut people?" It's incomprehensible......"

"Ahem......" Meng Zhao raised the parchment in his hand: "The Nie family's visit here this time shows that the Xiongnu did not sell horses because of the preparation for the war, otherwise why did the Nie family abandon the Xiongnu who had an extraordinary friendship and not come to our Han Department?" A certain general thought that the king should pay more attention to the movements of the Huns. ”

Lin Bin nodded. He was very interested in the sentence "I have a very good relationship with the Huns", and secretly thought that the Nie family didn't want to buy anything from the Han Dynasty, even if they didn't sell a single stone to the Nie family! As for the Huns, it is inevitable that people should pay more attention to the Huns. And it seems that it should be the people of the Western Regions who should be nervous. After all, judging from all kinds of signs, the targets of the Huns' shouting and shouting were the people of the Western Regions.

Night......

In order to express his appreciation for several families and families, Lin Bin asked the chief of the palace to organize a grand banquet, and those singers sent by Liu An, the king of Huainan, who were not used once, were also ordered to come out to entertain.

Lin Bin is not a woman, since he came to this era, there has always been only one woman, and the swallow's appearance is not glamorous, but it is more delicate. But Lin Bin values Yanzi's skillfulness very much, he himself does not have much requirements for lust, but Yanzi has repeatedly panicked and wanted to increase sisters. Several times persuaded him to take a concubine or raise a beautiful child, a man who was dizzy by the pressure of survival had only one action. That is to shake the head and refuse, this attitude provokes Yanzi's heart to be sweet and afraid that others will misunderstand his good jealousy, and the two quasi-concubines of Chunxiang and Qiuju are even more resentful......

Right now...... The newly built hall is lit up, the glamorous dancing girls are singing and dancing endlessly, dozens of cases are lined up on both sides, the guests who kneel and sit are placed in front of the table with delicious food and wine, and the atmosphere is quite good under the drumming and music.

Lin Bin did not pay much attention to etiquette, and when receiving guests, he should have worn a gorgeous crown dress (clothes that only the Son of Heaven and princes could wear) as a sign of respect. What about him? Wearing a fish-scale armor full of evil spirits, and a four-foot long knife at the waist and hips, it doesn't look like entertaining guests, but more like being on the battlefield of killing, and may break out and kill at any time.

Lingzi is also slim now, if it weren't for her kneeling next to Lin Bin and occasionally pouring wine, occasionally whispering a few coquettish words, those guests who came to the banquet today probably wouldn't even be able to laugh.

In addition to Kaimeng Zhao and Lu Yan, the two commanders who returned to Xilin to take up their posts, Han Anguo, the head of the Central Council, Gong Du, the deputy commander of the Black Flag Army, Lin Boer and Zhang He, the deputy commanders of the Tiger Army, Shuang and Han An, the deputy commanders of the Shence Army, and several captains with more powerful positions were also present.

Among the civil officials, Chen Mi, director of the Law Enforcement Division, Xiao Yan, director of the Civil Affairs Department, Jia Zhuo, director of the Power Administration Division, and seven subordinate officials also attended the banquet.

The hall is not small, and the arrangement is not crowded, the guests of the Zhong family and the Nie family on the right, the military generals and civil officials of the headquarters on the left, and nearly 100 people sit and enjoy the song and dance, and occasionally talk to each other A few words are also happy.

"I heard that the last time Li Guang came, it was only a small banquet, and today the King of Liao (Lin Bin) gave this big banquet, and so many important people from the Liao Department (Han Department) attended, what do you want?"

The surname of the person who spoke was Chen, his name was Yu, he was the eldest son of the Chen family, and he was also the representative sent by the Chen family to Xilin this time.

The white and pure fat man still had that smiling expression, and he glanced at Lin Bin, who was sitting on the main seat, as if he was helpless by a petite demon next to him: "Maybe it's the King of Liao who is happy." ”

Chen Yu rolled his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

In this era, there is no derogatory meaning to call women 'enchantress', the main intention is to describe women as beautiful to a certain extent, which can be regarded as praise.

And it seems that the people of the Han Kingdom never recognized Lin Bin as the title of King of Han, and they had two titles for Lin Bin, either as the Lang General of the Protector of the Han Dynasty, or as the King of Liao.

Now the Han people are basically not very clear about the contradiction between the high-level Han and the high-level Han (generally referring to the Son of Heaven), they still regard Lin Bin as a prince of the Han State, and this prince in their eyes is a bit weird, not under the orders of the Son of Heaven, with their own tribal names but without a country name (such as Liu An's Huainan Kingdom), everyone is at a loss and strange, and they don't know how to evaluate it.

Lin Bin's behavior is indeed strange in this era, and he has not moved except for a welcome speech and a toast at the beginning. He was now busy dealing with Lingzi's coquettishness, and let Lingzi rub and rub beside him, rubbing the nail piece 'bang-bang-bang-'.

"Daddy depends on me, just follow me!"

Lin Bin felt that his head was a little big, and he didn't understand why Lingzi wanted to learn the art of war, and who he couldn't learn well with but found such a half-witted person as himself.

"You Uncle Meng......"

"Don't! Uncle Meng can't beat Daddy, so I don't want it! ”

Meng Zhao suddenly sneezed, he turned his head a little 'frightened' to look at Lingzi and then immediately moved away, seeing that posture seemed to be often bullied?

"That'...... Lu Yan? ”

"Uncle Lu is so cunning, it's not the right way, and I don't want it either. I love learning from my father. Attached to Lingzi? ”

Lin Bin looked over and saw that Lu Yan was also looking here, he seemed to see Lu Yan with a gloating expression on his face? It's not a matter of two or three days to think that this girl from Lingzi has such an idea, and several generals who are often in Xilin should have suffered?

"Daddy doesn't teach Lingzi how to fight the Huns? Got a family? ”

“……”

Lin Bin sighed in his heart, Lingzi's family was brutalized by the Huns, although Lingzi has not said anything all along, she should be worried about revenge in her heart, right? He just wanted to say something when he saw a guy standing below, and that guy seemed to be the representative of the Nie family-Nie Ying.
