Zu Dashou understood, and said to the left and right: "Lead the guests from Dengzhou to the study for a while, and they will arrive immediately." ”

Hearing this, Hu Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief, where is the current scene of generals gathering in schools to be hospitable? Is that a demonstration good......

Hu Gui walked to the door and said loudly: "Zu Shuai, my family has admired the general of Liaozhen for a long time, but Lushun is at war with Jiannu, and the villain is in a hurry.

After speaking, Yao Wenzhao hurriedly shouted hello to the guys waiting outside, and everyone held some crystal clear wine bottles on trays, those wine bottles were opened, and the people at the door already smelled a strong aroma of wine.

Zu Dashou saw that everyone in the business was complete and cautious, so he nodded and gestured to present it, and a few guys walked all the way with plates, and the mellow fragrance of the second pot immediately surrounded the people in the entire hall.

Half an hour later, everyone waited for Zu Dashou, his face was slightly red, and he spewed out a breath of wine, and there were a few people dressed as entourages who followed him, thinking that it should be the shopkeeper of the trading company for the ancestral family.

"The business you adults are talking about is this two, what's the second for?" Zu Dashou sat down and asked eagerly.

"Lushun Erguotou" Hu Gui carefully corrected: "But it's not a big business, the biggest business is that my family wants to buy a batch of horses from Liaozhen." ”

"Oh, buy a horse? Yang Bo wants to buy a horse? Zu Dashou was slightly surprised, his head turned around a few times for a while, and he didn't understand Hu Gui's words.

Hu Gui glanced at Yao Wenzhao, and the latter explained with a smile: "Business." Naturally, there are contacts and contacts, and Lushun Erguotou is the only one in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no other semicolon. Liaodong bitter cold, soldiers naturally have to drink some spirits to be heroes, my family said, we sell wine to Liaozhen, can not let Zu Shuai suffer, so in addition to a large number of purchases of fur, herbs. He also wanted to buy 3,000 war horses from Liaozhen, and Zu Shuai also knew that Jiannu was skilled in bow horses. Although Lushun can't compete, it can't make it easy for the Tartars, so ......"

Zu Dashou touched his chin and smiled secretly in his heart. What can 3,000 war horses do? Besides, I bought a horse. There is no three or five years to train a cavalry that can compete with the Tartars, since Yang Bo is willing to do this wrong, he is naturally happy to see it, Zu Dashou said: "Yang Bo asked me to buy a horse is really right, not a boast, except for a certain one, the entire Liaodong really can't find a place to buy a good war horse, but the brother is a clear account." A certain ugly saying is ahead, every war horse ......"

Zu Dashou hasn't finished yet. An entourage behind him rushed to say, "Fifty taels!" ”

Zu Dashou touched his head, nodded and said, "Not bad, fifty taels"

Hu Gui smiled and said nothing, he stayed on the entourage for a moment, and said to Zu Dashou: "Zu Shuai, let the people of the business discuss these trivial matters, the villain has another big event this time, and he wants to report to Zu Shuai alone."

Seeing Zu Dashou's hesitant appearance, Hu Gui lowered his voice and said, "In addition to bringing liquor, sugar, tobacco, tea, and cotton cloth, the most important thing is that the firm also brought more than 400 heads. ”

When Zu Dashou heard the head, he chuckled in his heart, but he quickly reacted, and the entourage behind him was also stunned for a moment, with a happy face.

"Is it Zhenyi?" Zu Dashou didn't care about humility, so he came over and asked.

"All of them are real, such as fake," Hu Gui said in a low voice.

"Come, come, you come with me!" Zu Dashou was overjoyed, and warmly took Hu Gui's hand and said to a few shopkeepers: "You should greet the business name of Lushun well, the Yao family came to Liaozhen for the first time, you don't have to worry about it, if you lose your manners, a certain family will not be spared." ”

Hu Gui glanced at Yao Wenzhao, followed Zu Dashou and a few guards and his entourage to walk out, but his heart was not easy, the few key points explained by the adults were a little eyebrow-raising, but the money village promoted by the adults, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Let's take one step at a time, right?" Hu Gui maintained a calm expression, but he was faintly concerned about the battle situation in Mopan City, without strong military strength as a backing, let alone Qian Zhuang, even these ordinary business dealings were afraid that Zu Dashou would be swallowed up by his belt bones.

After sitting down, Zu Dashou also asked Hu Gui to serve tea, and then motioned for the idle people to retreat, Hu Gui took a sip of tea, thinking about how to provoke the conversation.

"I haven't asked for advice yet, what position does this gentleman have under Yang Bo?" Zu Dashou did not treat Hu Gui as an ordinary person at this time, but politely arched his hand.

Hu Gui hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Zu Shuai killed the villain, the villain is in charge of finance under Lord Yang, and all the money and silver accounting such as food and salary, commerce and trade in Lushun are handled by the villain." ”

Zu Dashou was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, he was in charge of money and silver exchanges, that was Yang Bo's absolute confidant, he didn't expect this person to be in charge of money, and his tongue was fluent.

Hu Guidao: "Liao Town is an important town against Jiannu, thousands of troops are easy to get, there is Zu Shuai sitting in Jinzhou, clamping Jiannu does not dare to offend, my family often says, in the future there will be more than Liao Zhen to move around, the two families are each other's aid, in the same boat, communicate with each other, my family also said, I wish only the ancestor Shuai Ma is the first to look forward, as soon as possible to recover Liaodong, Lushun not long ago a small victory, cut more than 200 Zhenyi heads, my family said to be more close to Liao Town, so he ordered the villain to bring all the belonging, these heads are nitrated, Zu Shuai can order people to go to the post station to check it, In addition, my family also brought a lot of captured back flags, knives and guns, bows and arrows, firearms, etc., a little careful, and I hope that Zu Shuai will not dislike it. ”

Zu Dashou's face was slightly red, but fortunately he couldn't see anything abnormal after drinking, he quickly ignored Xiao Xinyi's ironic words, and asked with some doubts: "Didn't Mr. just say that there are more than four hundred heads?" ”

Hu Gui smiled and said: "Zu Shuai forgives his sins, this time the villain brought a total of more than 400 Zhenyi heads, half of which were given to Zu Shuai as a meeting gift, as for the rest, the rest ......"

Hu Gui pretended to be embarrassed, and swallowed for a long time, Zu Dashou was a little impatient, and urged repeatedly, Hu Gui said: "For the rest, my family originally wanted to buy some war horses from Zu Shuai, but the silver money in his hand was a little turnover, so the villain took the liberty of asking, can you use the remaining head to deduct the silver taels for buying horses?" ”

"Oh? So? Zu Dashou suddenly realized, thought about it and frowned: "It's not easy to raise soldiers. Lushun is at war again, so it's no wonder that your family is like this. Ke Yong, you take a few people to the post station to check the authenticity of the head, and quickly report back to me. ”

Zu Dashou's cousin Zu Keyong nodded and left, Zu Dashou asked Hu Gui to tell him the origin of these heads, as well as the attack on Fuzhou and other battles. I even forgot to give an answer to the matter of deducting silver taels with the first level.

Hu Gui was not in a hurry, he picked up some more difficult battles with a slight exaggeration, and paid careful attention to Zu Dashou's reaction. Zu Dashou has had a hard time lately. The imperial history of the imperial court continued to impeach him for not being able to shrink back, and Emperor Chongzhen did not send reinforcements to relieve the siege of Yangguan Fort, and also issued several holy decrees to Zu Dashou, and his tone was stern. and asked him to send troops to clamp down on the Eight Banners. Zu Dashou ignored it as usual, but now that he has the head sent by Yang Bo, then he has to think about how to send troops to go through the motions, and then think about the imperial court to repay the merits, whether to send troops to Sanchahe or to Shengjing? Although they still have to talk to the governor of Liaozhen, everyone knows it anyway. Four hundred Zhenyi heads, as well as other flags and other seizures, Zu Dashou has decided to eat the rest of the heads. Then the court will reward at least more than 10,000 silver, if you fight for it yourself. Or it is not necessary to be able to reward more than 20,000 yuan, in addition to silver and natural instruments, etc., more importantly, it alleviates the suspicion of the imperial court and increases its own prestige, which is simply a deal that can be counted in one fell swoop.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, Zu Keyong came in and nodded at him slightly, Zu Dashou was immediately overjoyed, and said without any hesitation in his heart: "Very good, very good, since Yang Bo is not rich, let alone use the first level to deduct, even if Yang Bo comes empty-handed, what is the matter?" Our two towns will communicate with each other in the future, the days will be long, Liaodong is bitter cold, what liquor, tea, cotton cloth are urgently needed, the Yao family wants to come to Liaozhen to do business, a certain can't ask for it, in this way, let the Yao family set up a semicolon in Liaozhen, in the future, Yang Bo has any inconvenient places, just talk to someone, don't see the outside like this. ”

Hu Gui said with a smile: "If there is any business under the name of Zu Shuai, I will also go to Dengzhou to set up a business, my family knows a lot of big businessmen who come and go to Dengzhou, in addition to my Daming, there are also Japanese, Hongyi, etc., you can also introduce to your business, but there is one thing......"

Seeing Hu Gui's hesitation, Zu Dashou pretended to be displeased and said, "What's the difficulty? Just say it, isn't Mr. still worried about the credit of a certain family? ”

Hu Gui smiled and said: "I don't dare to borrow a coward, like this time the Yao family brought more than 5,000 silver, it is extremely inconvenient to go up and down all the way, the two towns are closer to each other, this is just the first transaction, and the future silver exchange must be greater, Zu Shuai is the same, the shopkeeper sold the goods in Dengzhou, and returned to Liaodong with a huge amount of cash, in case there is a mistake along the way, how much loss is not to say for the time being, the most important thing is to affect the cooperation between the two families, so the villain thinks that he can set up a Huitong money village in Liaozhen, and everyone will use silver tickets to communicate in the future. This also eliminates a lot of cumbersome matters, but I don't know what Zu Shuai wants? ”

"Huh?" Zu Dashou habitually touched the back of his head, and only hesitated after half a ring: "Huitong Qianzhuang? Who drove it? ”

Hu Gui didn't dare to conceal it, and said: "My family has a part, in addition to my family, many powerful people in Beijing have taken care of it, such as the first assistant, the superintendent, the Denglai Junmen, etc., the key is that there are eight Huitong money villages in Shandong, Tianjin, Jingshi, and Jiangnan There are also many semicolons, and I didn't visit Zushuai before, so Liaodong has not been opened, but with Qianzhuang, business contacts are very convenient." ”

Zu Dashou nodded, but did not nod, he needed to go back to discuss with someone he understood, Hu Gui also avoided talking about it with interest, the two talked for a while, Zu Dashou was a little anxious, so he agreed to discuss some details after three days.

When Hu Gui said goodbye, he happened to see Yao Wenzhao with a happy face, and there was an entourage of guests behind him, so Yao Wenyuan had no choice but to secretly give Hu Gui a thumbs up......

Two days later, Zu Dashou held a banquet in the General Military Mansion, and solemnly invited Lushun Hu Gui and others, obviously, Yang Bo's silver bullet and head offensive have completely narrowed the attitude of Liaodong, and many generals and colonels along the way saw them and nodded slightly, compared to the previous hostility is simply a world of difference.

Yao Wenzhao and those shopkeepers finalized many agreements, including acquisitions and dumping, many things that can't be sold at a price in Liaodong have doubled several times this time, which makes the shopkeepers smile happily, of course, the in-demand materials from Lushun are also very profitable, unlike Yao Wenzhao, Hu Gui is still a little worried, he shoulders a business and political mission, the decision to open a money village is in Zu Dashou, he doesn't nod Hu Gui can't do it, in addition, he also hopes to connect with the Mongolian tribes through Liaozhen, at present, Mongolian Chahar, Tumut, After Horqin and others were annexed, the Jin tribes suffered heavy losses in Lushun, and after the deterrence of force, it was time to use commercial means to divide them.

In the wine feast, the short Yao Wenzhao shuttled among the burly Zu Dashou's henchmen, this time was when he was like a fish in water, he persuaded the wine on the one hand, and knocked on the side quietly, these words went back after the reorganization of the Lushun Intelligence Division, the composition of various forces in Liaozhen can have a rough clue, and the Intelligence Department will also give some constructive suggestions to the trading company.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang at the next table!

Yao Wenzhao was shocked, not only him, but the other generals were stunned, they stopped talking and laughing, but saw Hu Gui standing up very embarrassed.

"It's not enough to drink, the villain is not strong enough to drink, but it makes everyone laugh......" Hu Gui made a group for everyone with a smile, everyone saw Zu Dashou with a mocking face, and also laughed, only Yao Wenzhao knew Hu Gui's amount of alcohol, he leaned over, only to hear Hu Gui lower his voice and said: "Zu Shuai, the Changping army is gathered, so how do I deal with the regimental training camp?" Is the regimental training camp really reversed? ”

Yao Wenzhao raised his glass disappreciatively, and suddenly his head slammed, and he instantly realized what Hu Gui meant when he said this, something happened to the regimental training camp in Changping! (To be continued......)
