Chapter 11 Pro-Soldiers
Gu Zhaojun was noncommittal: "Money is one thing, but if you want to do this, you can't just have money." ”
Song Yang made a 'continue' gesture: "You say." ”
"One word: earth." Gu Zhaojun gave the big topic first.
Song Yang is not only a smart person, but also his colleague in conspiring with big things, so Gu Zhaojun didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The gambling house is a partial door, and the amount of gold and silver is large, and all kinds of troubles are indispensable. You are. I chose your fiefdom to build this golden nest, not only because your family has mountains and power, but also because I want your protection. ”
In front of the Marquis of Changchun, there is the protection of the king of Zhenxi, and there are mountains and streams to rely on, and there are mountains and streams in it, and there will be stone guys and great masters in the future.
Song Yang smiled: "You trust me." ”
"You're not someone who will turn the other cheek for money. If I'm wrong, I consider myself unlucky. Lao Gu's answer was an understatement, but this sentence was the most critical place for him to come to Song Yang's partnership: he felt that this partner could be trusted.
Gu Zhaojun turned to the topic again: "Then there is the matter of buying land, I think, this 'land' needs you to come forward to buy it, and now a radius of five miles is almost enough." ”
At this time, Xiao Yu interjected from the side and asked, "The 'land' that Mr. Gu wants is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, right?" ”
Lao Gu nodded: "Yes!" If I don't occupy farmland, I won't enter the town, and I want a wasteland on the edge of the mountains. ”
Xiao Yu knew the terrain there very well, and immediately coughed, waved his hand and smiled: "Those wastelands that are originally ownerless, you can just use them, let alone five miles, even if you expand five hundred miles into the mountains, no one will ask you for money...... It's just that Shanximan is estimated to turn his face. ”
Without Gu Zhaojun opening his mouth, Song Yang shook his head and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the barren mountains also have their masters, and they are in the south." ”
Xiao Yu was still puzzled, and winked at Song Yang with a smile, and the latter continued to explain with a smile: "When the mountains are barren, no one cares, and when they build some scale and change their appearance, someone will definitely take care of them." No one picks up the stones on the side of the road, but if someone discerns the treasure and polishes the stone skin to reveal the beautiful jade, someone will come to grab it... It's pretty much the same. ”
Gu Zhaojun said: "Before the start of construction, buy the land first." It will be cheap to buy now, but it will be worth a lot of money later. So it's useless for me to buy it, the difference between the front and back is too big, the official word is two-mouthed, I really want to find trouble, and the one who suffers is always me. But if the person who bought the land was Song Yang, the meaning would be different, even if it was Fenglong, he would have to give the Uighur king a face. ”
Changchunhou is just a fictitious position, and the so-called fiefdom is not a feudal territory, but a superficial statement, the things on the ground are still under the jurisdiction of the government, and this land is still owned by the imperial court in the final analysis, not owned by Song Yang, so it is necessary to buy it first.
"I will pay for the land, and I will give you this land." When talking about business, Gu Zhaojun's tone was solemn: "As long as I am allowed to do things on this land, it will become... I won't say much about these superficial things, I will list the detailed rules for you to see, in short, you need to take care of the big picture, and I will do the specific reclamation and construction, this industry is counted as the two of us, and you and I each account for half. ”
Song Yang smiled: "This is too cheap for me, it's not like your style." ”
"This is my style, the surname Gu will never treat people who sincerely cooperate with me... Besides, this thing really can't be done without you, instead of worrying about silver taels with you, and awkwardness, you count me, it's better to be generous and pull you on the boat completely, this is my ship, and it is also your ship. After speaking, Gu Zhaojun thought about it, and said with a smile: "In addition, I also know that most of the properties in the feudal town are held by the lord of Chenghe County for you, this highness is a powerful character, I have to give less, it is not difficult to take you down with face, but when the matter comes to her, it is still not passable, just be happy, everyone is happy, and it saves the trouble of talking about it." ”
Song Yang also smiled, and brought up the old thing again: "What about money? What you said, just think about it, you know that the cost is huge, and you have money in your hands? ”
"I have money, but not enough." Gu Zhaojun responded.
The rotten ship also has three catties of nails, and Lao Gu still has the last share of the family, and it is not difficult to use this money to make some decent deals, but with Lao Gu's surname and style, he wants him to honestly run a silk village, a shop, and a restaurant? He would rather eat, drink, gamble, and squander his money.
But relying on this money alone, it is too far to achieve the golden nest of 'the immortals hugging the moon and the momentum' that he said.
"You know, what are the troubles of the really rich?" Gu Zhaojun suddenly diverted the topic, and said with a smile: "It's because my own industry can't be expanded, and I obviously have a large amount of silver taels in my hand, but I can't find a suitable way to put it out." I know a lot of such people. ”
"It doesn't matter if I don't have enough money in my hand, it's good to have enough in the early stage, as long as I build a shelf and show a meaning first, someone will naturally invest money in the future." Saying that, Gu Zhaojun shook his head again and said with a smile: "You may not be able to understand these things, just let me take care of them anyway." ”
Song Yang understood, and Gu Zhaojun planned to empty the white wolf in the back...... However, Song Yang really admires Gu Zhaojun, the characters of 'more than a thousand years ago', can not only think of 'business district', but also think of 'investment promotion', no wonder people are gate valves. It is especially rare, Gu Zhaojun is also the same as Ren Churong, not just sitting there dreaming, since the matter came out of his mouth, it means that there is already a case in his chest, and all the relevant details have been filtered through his mind I don't know how many times, and the plan can be started and implemented at any time.
After the serious matter was probably explained, Gu Zhaojun leaned back to his seat, and the whole person relaxed, and the topic was relaxed...... Three days later, Gu Zhaojun and Song Yang resigned and set off for Yanziping.
Chenghe was in the town, Song Yang had already passed the book, and carefully explained Gu Zhaojun's meaning, and the specific things still had to wait for the two of them to meet and discuss in detail, Song Yang and Xiao Yu, the two big shopkeepers of Yanziping, continued to stay in Phoenix City, waiting for the Uighur envoys.
After more than a month, the Uighur mission finally arrived, and the chief envoy was a respected old khan in the Uighur country, who had little real power, and the adjutant was an acquaintance of Song Yang, who was known as the henchman and mistress of the East, the brave warrior Asha.
Nanli's welcome ceremony was grand and unprecedented, followed by complicated court etiquette, the host was tired and the guests were even more tired, and the process was needless to say. But the envoy brought 'bad news': the wedding could not be celebrated for the time being...... Just one day before the mission entered Phoenix, the envoy received news from within the country that the Great Khan had died and his soul had returned to the embrace of the flame.
The Great Khan is the father of the East, and Samer Khan and Song Yang share all relatives except for their daughter-in-law, so the one who died is also Song Yang's father, and the Uighur custom is that a person who has lost his father cannot marry within eighteen months.
Since it is a peace between the two countries, it is necessary to follow the rules of the Uighurs, and there is nothing to say about this weight. The agreement with the relatives will not be changed, but the marriage date will be postponed for a year and a half, Song Yang frowned, pouted, and even the Fenglong Emperor Yanjing was disappointed, but then the Uighur envoy read the letter of state, the first article is that the Uighurs and Nanli will become a brotherly state, and they will always be united and hateful, which makes Nanli greatly excited.
To tell the truth, Song Yang is the same thing about Samer Khan, but people are really enough to save face for him.
When the mission left the country, the Great Uighur Khan was still alive, and he canonized Song Yang a 'Guardian of the Holy Fire King', this 'throne' had been heard of by Song Yang before, there were more than 300 Uighurs in the country, which was considered a priesthood, and there was no need to ask, just like the Marquis of Changchun, just a title, with no real power. But this canonization also made Song Yang's 'Wang Jia' statement well-deserved.
Immediately, the state banquet in the Nanli Palace was filled with a large row of state banquets to entertain the VIPs, which was really lively, and it did not disperse until late at night.
That night, despite the late night, Ah Xia came to visit Song Yang again, brought the greeting of 'out of the East', laughed a few words, clapped his hands again, called in a warrior from outside, and asked Song Yang with a smile: "Does Wang Jia still recognize him?" ”
Song Yang laughed: "Of course I recognize!" With that, he got up and beat his chest with the samurai...... In the end, in addition to Asha, there were three warriors left in the Uighurs, and the one in front of him was one of them, who knew a little Chinese and was called 'Alihan'.
Generally speaking, Uighur warriors were physically strong, and Alihan was no exception, being half a head taller than Song Yang, and unusually strong. But unlike his clansmen, Alihan did not have a yellow beard tied in a mess, and he was also kind and kind-eyed, with a rich face, and he did not have the fierce appearance of a samurai, and if he changed his clothes, he would look like a tall fat old lady.
However, when he was fighting, Alihan was as strong as a bear and as fast as a tiger, which left a deep impression on Song Yang.
Ah Xia continued: "The mission came with gifts, and when they set off, they chose three hundred warriors to accompany them, and these people stayed in Nanli and followed you to do things, and Alihan led the team. As ordered by Samer Khan, King Songyang was the prince of my Uighurs, and he could not be without Uighur guards. ”
The Uighurs were considered to be the 'in-laws' of this harmony, and the mission brought two sets of gifts, one was the dowry for marrying the princess, and the other was the great khan's reward for the 'King of Songyang', which was already extremely rich, but he did not expect to send a small team of elite soldiers to Song Yang.
This is an unexpected joy, when in front of the Guogong Mansion in Jingcheng Town, the Uighurs and Tubo fought on the long street, and Song Yang saw the quality of the Uighur warriors in his eyes, not to mention that this time he also took an Alihan, and the samurai who could go to fight on behalf of the country would not be the same reaction, if Song Yang was bare-handed, he would definitely not be Alihan's opponent.
Ah Xia was real, and without waiting for Song Yang to speak, she shook her head and said, "Leaving this pro-army is related to the prestige of the Uighur state, and the king cannot shirk it." ”
Song Yang didn't refuse, but he was a little puzzled, and it was easy to say that he sent a team of guards, but Alihan was a famous Uighur warrior and a fierce general on the battlefield, and it was a bit exaggerated to give it away.
Ah Xia explained with a smile: "After the last separation, Ah Xia returned to China and reported everything that King Song Yang did that night to Samer Khan. Later, when he and his envoy visited, the Khan learned that Princess Nanli was the beloved daughter of the king of Zhenxi, and that the king of Zhenxi was the old enemy of Tibet...... Therefore, King Songyang should have a good Uighur general by his side. ”
Ah Xia's words were not clearly stated, and when the point was reached, Song Yang nodded with a smile, and changed the topic: "Have the other countries cashed in on the bet of Yipin?" ”
As soon as he mentioned this Ah Xia, he didn't fight in one place: "It's all bad!" ”
…… After more than half a month, after the Uighurs returned, the Marquis of Changchun bid farewell to the emperor, the king of Zhenxi, the prime minister of Zuo, and many powerful people in Beijing, and led his three hundred Uighur guards to Yanziping in Fengyi. According to the laws of Nanli, the Marquis of Changchun could not raise a private army, but the guards were given to Song Yang by the Uighur Khan, and no one could say anything, anyway, the number was not too large, and Banzai would pretend not to see it.
Chen Hui, Luo Guan and Song Yang walked together, and as for Er Du, Nan Rong, Xiao Jiu and others, they naturally returned to the town with him.
Like Song Yang, because of the postponement of the relationship, Her Royal Highness the princess has also become a nobody, when the relationship between the two people was secret, Xiao Yu had a lot of scruples, and he couldn't always guard his sweetheart, but now the relationship has been semi-public, she can't wait to be with Song Yang for a long time, so she first went to the palace to find her emperor's cousin, resigned from the position of the armillary supervisor, and cheekily went to discuss with her father, and wanted to go to Fengyi with Song Yang.
Even the sensible girl ran to help her future husband Zhang Luo Fengyi, not to mention this surnamed Ren, the king of Zhenxi had already thought about it...... When he set off, it was already the middle of summer in the middle of the year, and the knife wound on Song Yang's back was completely healed, and he began to take medicine and condition his body on time according to the house opened by Amber, so as to eliminate the harm caused by the three levels of the demonic breakthrough.
Along the way, the scenery was beautiful, the prefectures and counties they passed through were hospitalized, and the people also gathered on both sides of the street, as if they were looking at monsters, pointing at the Uighur warriors, their expressions were extremely excited, and the blonde and blue-eyed scimitar guards were considered 'Western scenery' in Nanli.
When he was about to arrive in the town, Mu En, who had always been unaware of etiquette, actually became thoughtful this time, took his men down to the mountain stream show, and greeted him from afar, but as soon as the 'two armies' met, Xiao Jiu laughed out loud...... The Uighurs were tall and well-armoured; The mountains and streams are dry and short, and the equipment is poor, and the contrast is too strong at first glance.
However, compared to the Uighurs, although the mountain Xixiu was thin, it did not lose a penny in momentum, and the two groups of men and horses were together, the former was a majestic lion team, and the latter was a group of snakes in the mountains and forests...... They walked silently, as if they would disappear in the next moment; They are half-bowed, this is the easiest angle to exert force, and if they want to move, the short spear in their back will shoot like a flash of lightning in the blink of an eye.
However, Shanxixiu does not have any discipline at all, and people often leave the team to 'convenient', and what is even more disgusting is that they are all men, but they are all half-squatting on the ground with their backs against the big tree when they are relieved...... Ordinary Uighurs laugh, but Alihan does not, this is the 'posture' of the beast, it will not be distracted, it will not be 'too late', as long as there is danger, even if it is in the middle of a small solution, it can fly away.
The mountains and streams are barbaric, ready all the time, ready to do it at any time.
However, with a cup of tea, Alihan swept away the contempt at the beginning, spoke strange Chinese, and said to Song Yangwen in a crepe manner: "The warriors under Wang Jia have the power of barbarians. After speaking, he nodded to Mu En again.
Mu En said suspiciously: "Your person is not bad. ”
Shan Xixiu escorted a section, and before entering the town, he dispersed into the mountains and forests, and disappeared, as if he had never appeared, only Mu En stayed and continued to accompany him. At this time, Ren Churong had already come out, and the county lord had been running into the mountains recently, and his face was tanned. Seeing Song Yang from afar, she showed a smile, and her eyes were crooked like a crescent moon.
Beside the county lord, in addition to the personal guards, there were also a few wizards such as Ayigo, blacksmiths, blind men, and dwarves, and behind her were the townsfolk of the town.
A year and a half ago, the town 'broke out of the plague', from top to bottom everyone died clean, all of them were closed, and now these people are later 'new residents who moved into the town from all over the country', all the household registration and procedures are handled by Cheng He, anyway, the emperor will not run to check the household registration book of Yanziping by himself, as for the surrounding officials, no one will be full to go to the ground to embarrass Hongbowei.
Civilians are easy to handle, and it is not difficult to arrest these registered torturers, but the slightly troublesome thing is the original county commander Zhou and his team, they are all court officials, and if they are 'dead', they are dead, and they can't come back. Fortunately, Master Zhou's term of office is about to expire, and he also has self-knowledge, knowing that with his own ability, there is no future in the mixed officialdom, so he took the new identity arranged for him by the county lord, received a sum of money from Hongbo Mansion, and went to Qingyang City to be a rich man comfortably, and the chief bookkeeper and other small officials under him are also like this.
The current county magistrate's surname is Murong, and it is said that he is a student of Lord Shangshu Du of the Criminal Department...... In short, the town is still a small town, the villagers are still the villagers, basically nothing has changed, but Song Yang, who has been away from his hometown for more than two years, has become the Changchun Marquis of Nanli, the guardian of the Uighurs, and the Holy Fire King, in addition to the future third son-in-law and seventh aunt of Hongbo Mansion.
Song Yang doesn't take this seriously, how does his identity change, Yang Lingzi is still Yang Lingzi, come back and get along for a while, everyone will gradually relax.
Hou Ye returned to his hometown in fine clothes, every household had gifts, and soon Lao Gu also came from his own 'construction site', everyone met for a while lively, greeted and laughed for a while, the villagers temporarily dispersed, and Cheng He led the way to take Song Yang out of town...... When she walked out, Xiao Yu ran to her sister's side, she was thinking about one thing in her heart these days, and when she saw her sister, she immediately took it out to discuss, and whispered to Cheng He: "Xiao Rong'er, you go first." ”
Cheng He immediately understood what her sister meant, she had already received the news that 'Heqin was going to be postponed for eighteen months', but she didn't know what to say, she just shook her head: "No." And that's not all... You have to remember, never again. ”
When speaking, Ren Churong bit the word 'again' very hard, followed her to take Xiao Yu's hand, and whispered two words in her heart: Thank you...... I haven't exported, but I'm still serious.
