Chapter 178: Returning Home
Yue Kun was also very angry, but he didn't speak, Meng Heng frowned a little, and wanted to teach Huang Yan a lesson in displeasure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gao Huaiyuan intercepted Meng Hui first and explained: How easy it is to talk about! How can the old thief not guard against me? Speaking of the front division of the palace is in charge of me, in fact, after this purge, the old thief still installed a lot of his people in the front division of the palace, and after the change in Huzhou, he transferred a soldier and horse from Jiaxing to the capital, and the person headed by the party is a cronie of the Shi party, in order to contain me, and now I have to save face for him!
In addition, there are people and horses in the city, I am afraid that I have not yet launched a mutiny, the old thief will know about it first, and once the mutiny fails, it will cause chaos in the world, which is not what I think, so I still have to wait for the time to be ripe! You just have to do your things well, as for the promotion, you don't have to worry about it in the future, I will help you and others in the capital, don't mention these things in front of people in the future, in case they are passed into the ears of the Shi Dang, when the time comes, I am afraid that none of them will be able to run, and they will be immediately dismissed and driven out of the army!
Meng Heng and the three of them immediately nodded and agreed, no longer mentioning the matter, and asked Gao Huaiyuan why he returned to his hometown at this time, Gao Huaiyuan used the excuse that he needed to avoid it for a while, so he would return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
During the banquet, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly remembered the two people he had introduced to Huang Yan, one Dong Qiang and the other Guo Liang, I didn't know what their situation was, so he inquired about Meng Heng and Huang Yan.
Yes, these two people are indeed generals in the Zhongshun Army, and they are very motivated, I see that Dong Qiang is a good kung fu, so he first made him a Chinese officer, and now he is a general under Huang Yan, and he has become a ready general, leading an army of generals! And that Guo Liang is very smart, I made him the commander of the baggage battalion, he was just promoted some time ago, and now he is in Gwangju as a general, and he has also become a preparation general, and he is doing quite well! Meng Hui then told Gao Huaiyuan about the situation of the two of them.
Huang Yan also nodded and said: Guo Liang is an old acquaintance, needless to say, this Dong Qiang is quite good at kung fu, I often ask him for tricks when he is fine, he is really a tiger general! Unexpectedly, Daye County is really a place where the dragon is hidden and the tiger is crouching, Dong Qiang is now a member of the loyal army, and he can be regarded as a figure in the loyal army!
After listening to their explanation, Gao Huaiyuan was relieved, he sent these two people to the Zhongshun Army at the beginning, just to enhance Huang Yan's strength, now it seems that the two of them did not embarrass him, they are doing well in the army, and he has nothing to worry about, so he told Huang Yan to go back and say hello to Dong Qiang on his behalf, and the four of them have been drinking and talking until the day is getting brighter, and then the reunion is over.
In private, Gao Huaiyuan pulled Huang Yan and asked him: Let me ask you something, some time ago, I ordered Chengdu Mansion to start transporting you the war horses from Tubo, have you received them now?
Huang Yan blinked his eyes, smiled very treacherously, nodded proudly and whispered: Received, Chengdu Mansion has transferred more than 300 good horses to me in batches, and many of them can be used as stallions, now I have bred these horses and handed them over to the local people in Zaoyang to raise properly, and there will be many foals born in the coming year, plus the war horses rationed in the past two years, I have basically formed a battalion of light cavalry, and selected a battalion of good men to practice riding, In time I will have a brave cavalry here! Hey!
Gao Huaiyuan was relieved at this time, it seems that the matter of exchanging wine for war horses has finally been done, and if it goes on like this, at least the loyal army can form a usable cavalry team in the future, which will be very huge for an army dominated by infantry troops.
Early the next morning, Gao Huaiyuan said goodbye to Meng Heng and the others, left Huangzhou by boat, crossed the river directly, and arrived at the Chuzhou wharf.
When Gao Huaiyuan's official ship docked at the wharf, there was a lot of gong and drum noise, and Gao Huaiyuan was welcomed ashore, and he was brought to Chuzhou City to entertain him, which made Gao Huaiyuan very annoying.
After another day of delay, Gao Huaiyuan finally left Chuzhou and returned to Daye County with his pro-army, and after Daye County learned the news of Gao Huaiyuan's return, it was naturally a good pomp and circumstance, and went out of the city twenty miles to meet Gao Huaiyuan and his party, and welcomed Gao Huaiyuan back to Daye County.
No one in Daye County doesn't know Gao Huaiyuan now, everyone applauds Gao Huaiyuan, thinking that when he left Daye County, he was just a county lieutenant acting for Daye County's government affairs, but in a few years, when people came back here, they had already become a prominent palace marshal, how not to make the people of Daye County proud!
So after Gao Huaiyuan returned to Daye County, many people waited on the side of the road when they heard the wind, just wanting to witness Gao Huaiyuan's demeanor.
Being so popular with the people of Daye County, Gao Huaiyuan can be regarded as content, he was an official in Daye County in his early years, and he was finally good to the people here in vain, and now everyone can still remember him, which also makes him quite gratified.
And the current magistrate of Daye County about the Daye Bow and Arrow Society, the magistrate hurriedly replied: Lord Dianshuai, please rest assured, since you implemented the Bow and Arrow Society in Daye County, the local security in Daye County has become more and more stable, and has formed a quite strong folk customs, so that the surrounding thieves dare not enter Daye County, although the lower officials are here to take office, but they do not dare to waste, continue to remind the adults in Daye County that the autumn shooting competition is held every year, and now it has gone through several circles, and the county has already formed a good martial style, There are not a few people who are skilled in bows and horses! Nowadays, as long as the township warriors of Daye County are useful, they can casually gather three to five thousand people as township soldiers, please rest assured!
After Gao Huaiyuan listened, he nodded again and again, so he didn't waste his efforts, and finally formed a martial style around Daye County, not to mention the future resistance to Mongolia, at least now the benefits are reflected, at least the thieves don't dare to be a disaster in Daye County anymore, this is also a good thing for him to the people of Daye County!
When he finally returned to Gaojiazhuang, Gao Huaiyuan saw a group of people coming out early, and he saw Zhou Hao rushing over, Gao Huaiyuan threw the stirrup off the saddle and dismounted to meet him, and hugged Zhou Hao who rushed over.
Eldest brother! You're finally back! Zhou Hao hasn't seen him for a few years, he has matured a lot, his body is a little stronger, and there is a kind of majesty between his gestures, during Gao Huaiyuan's absence in Daye County, all the affairs of the Gao family have been handed over to him to take care of, Zhou Hao is now the head of the Gao family, although he is not an official, but he is Gao Huaiyuan's most solid backing, so that Gao Huaiyuan has been working hard outside all these years without any worries, and after Zhou Hao saw Gao Huaiyuan, he couldn't help but have a little red in his eyes.
Gao Huaiyuan also couldn't suppress his excitement, and hugged Zhou Hao and said yes again and again, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
Because the things he wanted to do when he came back this time were more secretive, Gao Huaiyuan ordered the accompanying escorts to live in Gaojiazhuang, and the gentry of Gaojiazhuang rushed to provide them with food and lodging first, and treated them as guests and good students, while Gao Huaiyuan only took Li Ruohu and others and followed Zhou Hao back to Crouching Tiger Village.
Crouching Tiger Village in a few years, under the management of Zhou Hao, there have been a lot of changes, although the yard has not expanded a lot, but the building seems to have constituted a community, look carefully will find that these buildings in addition to practical, but also quite a defensive function, the original workshops in the yard, now because of the continuous development and growth, has long moved out of Zhuangzi, another place to re-establish, and Zhuangzi basically only left a pigeon farm a dog farm, the rest is the place where they train people.
After returning to Crouching Tiger Village, Gao Huaiyuan felt like home, and only when he arrived here did he feel that he had truly arrived at his home.
And Liu Er, who came back with him, was also very happy, and even Ji Xiancheng, who came back with him, completely relaxed when he arrived here, leaving Gao Huaiyuan behind, and letting Zhou Hao send someone to lead him around the Zhuangzi.
And the important stewards who stayed behind also gathered in the Zhuangzi to welcome Gao Huaiyuan home, like Jiang Peng, Xue Yan, Li Tong, etc., the old people in the Zhuangzi, all of them did not pull all of them, and after everyone saw each other, it was naturally overjoyed.
After sitting down, Zhou Hao began to give Gao Huaiyuan a detailed introduction to the situation he has been operating here in the past few years, the business is now mainly responsible for Jiang Peng, and there are Xue Yan, Li Tong and others below, basically don't worry much about the business, whether it is a wine workshop, a mine, a smelting furnace, a glass workshop, a soap factory, etc., the current business is very good, although some people want to steal their formula process, but because they are well guarded, no one has been able to succeed, although Gao Huaiyuan has no time to pay attention to these things in recent years, and there are not many new products. But under the research of Jiang Peng, a geek, he still came up with some new things and put them on the market.
In this way, Gao Huaiyuan has completely created a business empire in the Southern Song Dynasty, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that Gao Huaiyuan is rich and rivals the country, and the monopoly business is easy to do, not to mention that there is no monopoly law This kind of thing has been introduced, and it is even more difficult to make a fortune, so now even Zhou Yi, the financial director, is here, and he can't say how much Gao Huaiyuan's assets are now, because now their income is astronomical every day, and the business in various places is constantly expanding. The silver money can be said to flow into Gao Huaiyuan's pocket
