When the night fell, several ancient towers in the city of Yancheng used only a little habitat under the bleak bright moon to shield the victims of the flooded county from the cold wind of this autumn night. In the crowd leaning together, the occasional coughing and wheezing of the old man was heard; Some sighed; A few child cries.

The king sat next to a big rock, and his hair was a little messy from the wind, but this did not affect his handsomeness, but made him look more wild and manly. During the day, Cai Jing's words touched him, and he was thinking. Or since he traveled to the Song Dynasty, he was only interested in one thing, and that was silver. So much so that when he had the opportunity to be an official, he resigned to do business.

Master Zhang Yi is right, there is nothing wrong with the path he took, no one will know how fate is arranged, even if he comes back after a thousand years, his future is uncertain. Perhaps business warfare can destroy the enemy in a war without gunpowder. However, a businessman is powerless to deal with natural disasters, just like the county town in front of him. Water control is a major event in ancient and modern times, but it is not just a businessman who has money to do.

What did you do when you came back? Is it just to enjoy the glory and wealth that you didn't enjoy in your previous life? No! An idea gradually germinated in Wang Bei's heart, it is not difficult to do business. He wanted to make sure that he didn't cross over in vain. He had one hand on his chest, covering the piece of the ancient crystal through his clothes.

A cool breeze blew, and the king came back from his contemplation. Two figures walked near the ancient pagoda not far away, and the young one who walked up to the king and said, "Childe, get ready." ”

Wang Bei's bright eyes looked at Xue Xiang: "Lord Xue, I will be the master today." ”

Xue Xiang shook his head, he admired the courage of the king, not to mention what kind of guests and hosts are there at the moment, the affairs of the victims are the first priority: "Where is there a master here, you and I are the same, not to mention that I am trying my best to do things well." Prince, you can command. ”

Wang said and stood up: "Trouble Lord Xue, take Yuan Chang to ambush from the woods." He glanced back at Cai Jing: "Those people will not give up when they see us entering the city, I think they will come tonight, I am here to guard!" ”

Just as Wang Bian expected, in the middle of the night, two people sneaked into the city, and after looking around, they didn't find Wang Bian's stupid way back, they didn't find it, and they had been followed by Wang Bian.

In the woods in the middle of the night, the footsteps of the two thieves stepped on the dead leaves, getting closer and closer to Xue Xiang and Cai Jing, and the two of them walked one after the other and said: "It's bad luck today, I obviously saw those two people entering the city and didn't leave." The other said: "Didn't there be two horses out of the city, it is estimated that those two boys were afraid of us and fled in official clothes." ”

The person who walked in front said: "Then it won't be separated, and we have to go back anyway, even if we don't find out after three or four days, if we really transfer officers and soldiers, we will be in trouble, do you want to tell the boss?" You talk about you, and you don't talk when I ask you, huh? He said as he walked, and after saying a few words, he did not see anyone behind him answer, and when he turned around, he found that the man behind him had fallen to the ground, and beside his fallen companion was a man in a night suit.

And just when he turned around and found that at the same time, the man in black had already arrived in front of him, and before he could react, he felt that his calf bone was kicked heavily, as if he was about to be kicked off, and he subconsciously bowed down and elbowed his back at the same time.

The movements were so coherent, and the time was running so fast, that both thieves fell to the ground, and before they could call out to their companions, they were covered with their mouths.

The two thieves were brought back to the ancient tower, where they were found to be local residents. These thieves were originally soldiers defending the city of Yanzhou, and they ran back when they heard that there was a flood in their hometown. When he came back and saw such a tragic situation, no one in the family survived, so he got together and became robbers.

Wang Pan had also heard that Xue Xiang was upright and sympathetic to his subordinates, and Xue Xiang now happened to be the deputy envoy of the transfer of power to Shaanxi, and he also served as the post of preparing and dissolving salt. When I came to investigate this time, I must have dealt with him, and through his handling, I can also see Xue Xiang's style of doing things. Thinking of this, Wang sat on the side, waiting to see how Xue Xiang dealt with it.

After listening to the two of them, Xue Xiang asked coldly: "As locals, aren't you ashamed to rob your father and fellow villagers?" ”

Everyone thought that Xue Xiang was going to say something about the law of the country, what kind of grass and so on, but they didn't expect that Xue Xiang didn't say righteous words to other officials, but suddenly talked about the unspeakable things about the robbers. If they are not ashamed, they do not need to be masked.

Originally, the two of them were also ready to rectify the Fa, and their relatives were gone anyway, and they were determined to hold the fate of Hengzhu, but hearing Xue Xiang's words really touched his nerves, and he suddenly lowered his head with a flushed face.

Xue Xiang ordered someone to loosen the two of them, hearing this order, everyone present was stunned, he nodded and affirmed his order even more, and the two were loosened and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Wang watched quietly, thinking that this Xue Xiang was really not simple, but he heard Xue Xiang say: "If you don't do anything about taking the money, why do you want to be this robber, go back and tell those people, as long as you go back to the city to help the people in the city clean up and bury the corpses, I won't pursue you, don't forget that there are your own relatives here, and you can't take care of the bones of your relatives." ”

The two thieves were both grateful and saddened, and were ordered to find their companions. About an hour or two later, the five men returned. Xue Xiang didn't lure them, the city was in urgent need of manpower now, and the corpse had to be buried as soon as possible. And the first thing to reassure the people after the disaster was to distribute the food returned by the robbers to the people, and sealed the silver taels for the receiver to deal with.

Xue Xiang's move made Wang Bian very appreciative, Wang Bian and Cai Jing stayed for a few more days, helping Xue Xiang deal with the post-disaster reconstruction, and waiting for the person who sent the letter to mobilize materials to come back.

Don't look at Wang Bi looking young, after all, what he knows is not only taught by Zhang Yi, but also has a lot of experience in his previous life. What's more, on the issue of business, Wang has a self-confidence, so after three or five days, Wang is afraid that he and Xue Xiang will become irreversible friends.

Wang said goodbye to Xue Xiang and went to visit Zhang Zai again, seeing that Zhang Zai, the victim of Duncheng, had been properly settled, and thought that Duncheng had mobilized supplies, and the disaster victims heard that the son they met on the road had come to Yunyan, and they came to the county government to thank him, but Wang was embarrassed to stay for a few more days. He explained to the victims that the robbers had dispersed, and that the city had begun to rebuild after the disaster, and that those who had labor could go back, and everyone was very happy.

Before he had gone far from Yunyan, Wang saw a team of ox carts on the road, Cai Jing became excited, and hurriedly said to Wang Bian: "Son, look, this is the ox cart of our Jinxiang Mansion." After speaking, he did not wait for the king's answer, and urged the horse to the front of the convoy with ox carts. stopped the person who was driving the car, and then the convoy stopped, Yu Danian jumped out of the carport of the first car, and saw that it was the two people next to the king who ran towards the king happily.

It turned out that Yanzhou's Zhongzhen sent a letter to Wang Bi, this year's winter coal was directly transported from Jinxiang Mansion to Yanzhou, which is a big business, you must know that there are many soldiers stationed in Yanzhou and other border places, and the annual demand is very large.

This year, Chongyi personally supervised the coal business, and gave Wang Pan great preferential treatment in terms of taxation. The amount of coal used by the garrison is large, and the coal of these dozen ox carts is only the first batch, and at least three or four batches will be transported later, and all the soldiers defending the city of Yanzhou will be purchased for a winter.

Wang was naturally happy to hear the news, but he was not too sure of such a large amount of demand. Seeing this, Yu Danian said: "When Gongzi went before, he was sure that the method of making a diversion well was good, or there was water seepage or rain, which did not affect the coal digging, and there were two new places where the coal storage was really high, and the coal seam was found without digging deep. Now our output has increased by two or three times compared to our past, and there are also those that we buy on weekdays. You can rest assured that you will never delay the use of the capital. ”

Yu Danian was very excited, and introduced it in one breath, and Wang was relieved to see that the coal in the capital would not be delayed. I asked Yu Danian about the situation in Meyer's Mansion and Jinxiang's Mansion, and as far as Yu Danian knew, everything was working normally. I also heard that there are a few more states and counties that ask Mayer Mansion about Jinxiulou's joining, and Yuan Ze on Yunxuan's side also takes good care of it, so I can be relieved.

Seeing that it was not far from Yanzhou, Wang followed the ox convoy to Yanzhou, settled in the post house and saw that the post house already sold "Cloud Pick", so he bought a copy at his own expense and chatted with the post house shopkeeper for a while, and learned that this "Cloud Pick" was selling very well, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "You came at the right time, if you come late, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it?!" ”

Cai Jing couldn't help but "and" was about to speak, but was stopped by the king. Back in the guest room, Cai Jing asked, "Why did Childe buy it himself?" ”

Wang Bei smiled: "Do we want to go back to the capital and see it again?" This shop is also a business of selling cloud picks, so it doesn't have much money," he said, flipping through it. "Cloud Pick" has Yuan Ze Zhongzhen and a few people have discussed it until it has been following the style of discussion, but I found a few pages, it was actually a new layout when I was away, and the title of the layout was "Female Frequency", and the published was also a woman's work.

This is something I didn't expect, I thought it was funny, this Yun Ze has never liked to deal with women, it is estimated that it was Su Shi's idea, see that the poems above are really unique, and the penmanship is delicate. I thought that there would definitely be a lot of women's masterpieces in the future, and there would be more readers who read Yun Pick.

In the first issue of "Cloud Picking", which has a female frequency, there are two women's poems, one is the "Mrs. Wei" that Wang has seen next to her, this female poet is quite profound, and she is Zeng Bu's wife. The other is signed "Su Xiaomei", which makes Wang Pan quite interested.

Whether it is the legend of this Su Xiaomei in the past life or the rumors now, she has only heard her name and has not seen her, but Wang Bi has no time to inquire on weekdays, and she is embarrassed to ask Su Shi, lest people misunderstand and think about it. Since this is so signed, I will definitely see it when I look back.

It is said that the talented women of the Northern Song Dynasty are outstanding, at least until now, what Su Xiaomei, Li Qingzhao, I don't remember their birth years, but I haven't seen them yet. Moreover, it is also said that there is Master Li............

Hey, where do you want to go, Wang Bian himself also smiled, put Yun Jue aside, and instructed Cai Jing to prepare the clothes he wanted to change, he now wants to meet the town guard Yanzhou, and he has won many battles recently, breaking the Western Xia harassment of the incoming soldiers.
