Chapter 57 Reliable
After the selection, everyone will return to the national capital Phoenix with the princess, but it doesn't mean that they will leave today after the election yesterday. Soon after, the king of Zhenxi will sign that Qingzhuang will enlist in the army in Qingyang Prefecture, and Hongbo Mansion will first help the prince to lay a good front station, and there are still many things to do, and he will have to wait for a few more days before leaving for Beijing.
Waiting was boring, Song Yang was thinking about waiting for breakfast to call a few companions and walk around Qingyang City, but before he could go out, there were garrison soldiers who came to report, and there were guests who were waiting outside the post house.
Song Yang went out to see that it was the county lord of Chenghe who had just met last night, and he came alone, neither with Ren Xiaozhuo, nor with the Hongbo family general to escort him.
With a cloth skirt and a smile, Ren Churong nodded at Song Yang: "I'm here to disturb Mr. again." β
Song Yang shook his head: "Originally, I had nothing to do, so why bother, and I don't need to be a long man and a short son, it's awkward." β
Ren Churong handed over an envelope: "The silver of the Tubo caravan has been deposited in the bank, Fan Qingyu." Not only in Nanli, as long as there are Han people, there is their money bank, and it is convenient to exchange. Song Yang thanked him and happily put the silver ticket in his arms, Ren Churong did not mean to leave, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the front: "Let's go?" β
Song Yang happily agreed, walked side by side with the county lord, and laughed casually...... In Phoenix City, the county lord of Chenghe is famous, but few people know him in Qingyang, but Song Yang was in the limelight on the high platform yesterday, and people recognized him wherever he went. Ren Churong always smiled and looked happy, as if she felt that the people around her were amazing, and she was honored.
Qingyang is the capital of a state, the city has been built for many years, there are both bustling markets and tree-lined quiet roads, and there is no certain direction under the feet of two people. The topic is not serious at all, and he walks and chats casually. Song Yang didn't have any special feelings about this, but Ren Churong's expression revealed a heartfelt comfort.
When she turned an alley, her eyes lit up and she said to Song Yang, "Wait for me." After speaking, his steps were brisk, his eyes happily ran towards a candy seller, said a few words, chose some candy, followed the county lord to wave to Song Yang from afar, called him to him and said with a smile: "I didn't think too much about it when I went out, I forgot to bring money." β
Song Yang reached into his arms and took out the dozen silver tickets he had just received...... He didn't expect to go shopping, and all the money on his body was just given by the county lord.
It's all a big ticket of one thousand taels.
If it was replaced by other sons and gentlemen, maybe for the sake of Lord Bo's happiness, he would hand over a silver ticket, but Song Yang didn't burn the bag so much, a thousand taels was enough to buy a house and land and buy an industry, so it would be used to exchange it for a bag of sugar?
What's more, even if he is willing, the peddler may not agree, and people don't recognize such a big silver ticket at all.
The county lord blinked, smiled, and was about to hand back the candy in his hand, Song Yang was still a little unwilling, pointed to his nose and said to the vendor: "Take a closer look, do you recognize me?" β
The peddler shook his head, not all Qingyang people went to see Xuanxian.
Song Yang coughed for a while, not discouraged, and continued to smile: "It's okay if you don't know, I can help you think of some ways to make the business prosperous, just treat it as sugar money......
Before he could finish speaking, the peddler laughed: "You don't have to bother with words, just pack candy, just take it and eat it, I'm here every day, and I'll send the money when I pass by one day; It doesn't matter if you don't send money, I'll just treat you to dinner. I think the sugar is delicious, so introduce me to more guests. β
With that, the peddler waved the two away, so as not to interfere with business. Song Yang wanted to 'turn stones into gold', but he didn't expect the hawker to be generous but not appreciate it, Song Yang was stunned, the county lord laughed, and thanked him and dragged him away.
Just plain candy. Ren Churong, who grew up in brocade clothes and jade food and tasted delicacies from all over the world, actually ate with relish.
Song Yang tasted one and didn't think it was any good.
Ren Churong smiled: "Look at me eating sweetly, do you think it's strange?" It's not that the candy is good, it's that the mood is good. β
No matter how arrogant Song Yang is, she will not feel that she has given the county lord a good mood, her happiness is just 'stealing half of the time'.
Although Nanli is small, it is also a dynasty, and the competition between the forces of all parties in the court has never been interrupted since the founding day. The more scenic the place, the steeper and more treacherous, the king of Zhenxi is like this, he has an outstanding position with heavy troops, but the pressure from all sides is impacting Hongbo Mansion all the time, and the county lord of Chenghe, the little woman, just helps his father hold up half of the sky...... Half a day, Ren Churong was very happy.
"Don't you think it's strange that Chen Hui is a senior who is a great grandmaster, but he came to Qingyang to select talents?" Ren Churong's voice was soft.
The topic was abrupt, but Song Yang was not surprised. The county lord of Chenghe is not Ren Xiaoyu, and he will not come to chat with him for fun. Song Yang nodded and replied perfunctorily: "It's very strange." β
Ren Churong asked: "What do you think of this matter?" β
Song Yang shrugged his shoulders: "It has nothing to do with me, I'm too lazy to guess." β
Ren Churong disagreed: "If you don't guess, I guess." Among the samurai selected by several other countries, it is estimated that there will be an old man's enemy who is against him, and Chen Hui's predecessor is going to the opponent. β
Chen Hui is a reclusive master, and his opponent is naturally similar to his identity. Because of the seclusion, Chen Hui couldn't find the other party, but I don't know how to receive the news that this enemy will represent his country in the 'Yipin', so Chen Hui came to participate in the selection of talents, and he asked for the qualification to fight a product, in fact, he asked for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.
Ren Churong looked up at Song Yang: "What do you think I guessed?" β
Song Yang nodded: "Reliable." β
Ren Churong narrowed his eyes into crescent moons, smiled happily, and diverted the topic again: "There are many brothers and sisters in Hongbo Mansion, but I am the closest to Xiaofu. Three years ago, she did a little thing of catching fast in Yanziping, and I don't know how many times she told me over and over again, although you and I have only met twice, but I don't know how many times I have heard the name Song Yang. Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and the smile in her expression was much lighter: "After I went back yesterday, I didn't sleep well, but I also figured out a few things. β
Song Yang made a gesture and motioned for her to continue.
"You are proficient in medicinal stones, and you are a master of your skills, not to mention your medical skills. But his old man died suddenly. Birth, old age, sickness and death, mortals suffer from the four sufferings, even a generation of famous doctors will eventually die, maybe it is not worth wondering, but what about thinking about it one more step? β
"At the end of the wake period, the little man who hibernated in Yanziping entered the world in a high-profile manner, and became a blockbuster in the selection of talents in Qingyang. I can't be more clear about the case of the Yin Family Stack, you can't be wrong if you don't want to make a name for yourself... Well, even if you change your mind, after the death of your elders, you want to make a name for yourself and earn a great future. But it still doesn't make sense. β
"The most important thing is that this selection is indeed a great opportunity for others to leap into the dragon gate, but for you, it is not a real shortcut, because you recognize Xiaofu."
"Compared with the emperor, it goes without saying that he is superior or inferior. However, in terms of seeking the future of the official, it is faster to serve the king of Zhenxi and recommend himself to the emperor? In fact, this account is not difficult to calculate...... Even if Jindian High School becomes a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, he just gets a false title, has no power or money, and only has a better reputation. And the king of Zhenxi was in charge of the war on the Western Front, and he held two words in his hand: military merit. β
"Not only our Nanli, but also all countries and dynasties in Middle-earth are the same, and the heaviest of the many feats is military feats. If you want to be an official, a big official, and a high-ranking official with power and money, the only shortcut is military merit. Your mind will not fail to think of these things; With your skills, you have to be recommended by Xiaofu and serve your father, and it is not difficult to get reused. You didn't choose Hongbo Mansion, you chose Qingyang to choose talents, this is not a smart choice, but you are obviously a smart person...... After thinking about it, I finally determined one point: you came to select talents, not for the sake of being an official or fame, but for the sake of selecting talents. β
"If it's not for fame and wealth, what else can attract you? The more I thought about it, the more scary I felt. It turned out that there was not only one Chen Hui who took revenge, but also Song Yang...... You Yanzuo was not born, old, sick and died, but was killed, and his enemies will also represent other countries and go to fight for a product, right? I feel like this string of speculations... In your words: reliable. β
Even if it is not in the middle, it is not far away. If the 'Dragon Bird Knife' is removed, the difference between Song Yang's real purpose and the county lord's guess is only: the former is to track down the murderer, and the latter is to directly snipe the enemy.
Song Yang was noncommittal, just smiled.
Ren Churong stopped, carefully wrapped the remaining candy, and put it away: "Let's talk about a deal, you won't lose money." I've suffered a lot, but I'm glad to do it myself. β
