Jiajing forty-two o'clock yuan, Puzhou Zhang's old house:

As a leading figure in the Jin merchants, his sons and relatives are all officials in the court, and all of them are increasingly powerful, and the Zhang family's status in the Shanxi Jin merchants has already reached the point of being in full swing at this time. Today, there is an endless stream of guests who come to congratulate the New Year, including many local dignitaries and dignitaries in Shanxi, and even the local brocade guards and town guards have also sent people to come to congratulate the New Year.

The Zhang family advocated that Yun Ling was dressed in a magnificent red robe, sitting on the main seat of the lobby steadily, smiling and greeting important people among the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, and on the other hand, there was a large stream of people.

At the beginning of last year, with the help of Li Rusong, Zhang Yunling's distant nephew Zhang Jie, successfully took control of the gold mine in Gulezhai as a general. At the same time, the caravans of the Zhangjia, Fanjia, and Wang families were escorted and helped by the dangerous mountain army, and they were unimpeded in the Liaodong area, not only did they not have to worry about the intrusion of the Jurchens and horse bandits, but they could also go to Korea to trade along the ancient road of Korean tribute during the Chenghua period.

What pleased the three family owners the most was that the Wufeng fleet had opened up a new sea trade route with Mayang Island in North Korea as a new base. Compared with the road trade of Jin merchants, sea trade is simply a profitable business.

"Hehe, Lord Wang has won the award, the old man is just an ordinary businessman, how can he afford such a generous gift from the adult" greeted the distinguished guest with a smile, but Zhang Yunling's eyes kept looking out of the door: Didn't that guy say that he would pay New Year's greetings to himself today, and there was something important to discuss?

"Li Rusong, the general of the dangerous mountain, has arrived!" Just when Zhang Yunling was absentmindedly greeting the visiting dignitaries and dignitaries and confidants, a loud registration voice came from outside the door:

"Li Rusong, the general of the dangerous mountain, and General Li Chengliang, the deputy general of Liaodong, congratulate Mr. Zhang on his great joy on the first day" Li Rusong was wearing a strong cotton robe and a three-mountain hat, and the monk Greenqin behind him led fifty Liaodong iron knights, all wearing the clothes of ordinary people and carrying congratulatory gifts.

Li Rusong had a gentle smile on his face, and behaved like a scholar who had been educated for many years, and his every move was polite.

"I'm tired" showed a gentle smile like a spring breeze, Li Rusong took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it to the door on the side, leaving Seng Lingqin and others to wait aside, he showed a humble smile and walked towards Zhang Yunling, who had been waiting at the door of the lobby for a long time.

"Little nephew Li Rusong, meet Uncle Zhang" walked quickly in front of Zhang Yunling, Li Rusong pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and gave Zhang Yunling a gift to the younger generation.

"Liaodong Deputy General Li Chengliang Li! General Li Rusong and General Li of the dangerous mountain, father and son sent congratulatory gifts: ten Liaodong East pearls! Five ginseng strains that are more than 100 years old! Fifty complete tiger skins! The door here shouted extremely loudly

"What a valuable gift!" All the guests, including the servants and confidants of various dignitaries, heard the content of the gifts, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:

"Dongzhu" is the treasure of the treasure, rare and rare. The so-called "East Pearl", also known as "North Pearl, Big Pearl, and Beautiful Pearl", is a kind of pearl taken from the freshwater pearl mussels produced in the rivers of the Heilongjiang River Basin. Compared with ordinary pearls, it is more noble because of its crystal clear, round and huge, and has become a necessary tribute to Chinese dynasties since ancient times.

There is also this hundred-year-old ginseng, which is a treasure that prolongs life and prolongs life, but it is impossible to find it, even if it is the palace Ouchi, this kind of thing is extremely rare. And in the mansion of dignitaries, if there is a century-old ginseng, it must be a treasure worth ten thousand gold, and Li Rusong's shot is five!

The most lull tiger skin, that is also very valuable, the key is the word "complete", to know that the tiger that was hunted by the trap set by the hunter in the road has a large number of wounds on the fur more or less, which affects the appearance. Only the extremely brave and fierce Liaodong Orion will use an ash pole spear to pierce the tiger's eye head-on, and stab it to death to ensure the integrity of the fur.

It can be said that Li Rusong's gift is worth at least one million taels of silver, which is enough for Zhang Yunling.

"Hehe, nephew, please get up, follow me to sit inside" Zhang Yunling's face was full of red light, and he walked forward with a smile to help Li Rusong, and the two walked into the lobby hand in hand.

"This Li Rusong is just a mere general, how can he be so courteous to Zhang Yunling?" A housekeeper of the palace next to him couldn't help but snort lightly when he saw Li Rusong being treated so highly.

"Hehe, this General Li is not an ordinary martial artist! When the old Xu Jie, the elder Xu Ge, the elder of the high arch and the elder of the high pavilion, as well as Zhang Juzheng, Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang Siwei and many other cabinet officials, all praised this son," Zhu Guoguang, the governor of Shanxi next to him, smiled lightly and said slowly.

Shanxi, like Liaodong and Jimen, is one of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and the news exchanges between various border towns are exchanged, so Zhu Guoguang is no stranger to Li Rusong.

"Shhh When the people around heard Zhu Guoguang say this, they couldn't help but gasp, and the eyes that looked at Li Rusong changed from disdain to respect, jealousy, and fear.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and the status of military generals was extremely low, and there was almost no status in front of the literati.

But Li Rusong is absolutely an existence that no one dares to despise and ridicule, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others, who hold great power in the court, each of them praise him, so doesn't it mean that these ministers are Li Rusong's backers?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others do not all support and are optimistic about Li Rusong, as long as one of them supports Li Rusong, the latter can soar to the sky!

All of these people present are shrewd people, and they all look at Li Rusong's eyes with all kinds of ideas, in short: build a good relationship with this person!

"Uncle, there are a lot of people here, can you find a secluded place? The little nephew also has a big congratulatory gift to give to his uncle" Here Li Rusong is not in the mood to take care of these people's thoughts, so he took an opportunity and whispered to Zhang Yunling.

"Oh? Virtuous nephew come with me" A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and Zhang Yunling said immediately.

Li Rusong's ability has completely convinced Zhang Yunling after some cooperation, he understands that as long as he cooperates with Li Rusong, there is absolutely no harm, and Li Rusong can be trusted.

With such thoughts and purposes, Zhang Yunling pretended to be unwell and asked relatives to help him entertain guests, while he himself took Li Rusong to an underground secret room in the backyard.

"Virtuous nephew, what a gift? Hurry up and take it out, let the old man open his eyes! Sitting comfortably on a chair with bearskin cushions, Zhang Yunling held a cup of hot tea and said with a smile.

"Hehe, if this gift from my uncle is done. Jin merchants will become the first merchant gang of Daming Sea Trade, do you say this gift is heavy? Taking out a map from his arms and placing it in front of Zhang Yunling, Li Rusong said with a smile on his face.

"What? There is such a good thing! Tell me about it! ”
