(Happy National Day, book friends, thank you for the three 588 rewards of the students who are not the result of the ending, and thank you for the reminder votes of the mysterious people!) )

-----------------------------------------

With a bang, a whimper sounded by the Suoshui River.

Xingyang City is not far behind, and the valley manor where the Zheng family was raided is only twenty miles away. Xu Gai took off a ringing arrow and shot it towards the sky, and the sounding arrow screamed in the air. After a while, many boats suddenly appeared in the originally calm Suoshui River Bay. Just now, they were all hiding under the willow trees on the bank of the river bend, and now they heard the signal and leaned over together. Ling Yun estimated that there were at least two hundred boats in the river, not to mention the thousand numbers and more than a hundred horses, even if there were twice as many people and horses, these boats would be more than enough. Looking at the number and scale of this ship, Ling Yun knew in his heart that everything was actually under Xu Gai's calculations. When they came, they had only fifty horsemen, and they traveled by land. But before he came, Xu Gai already knew what the result of this trip would be, he even calculated the number of craftsmen in Zheng's workshop and even the tools and materials in the workshop, mobilized enough ships and then rushed from the waterway, and waited here early.

As soon as Lingyun and the others came out with the team, they would be able to board the ship here immediately.

It is not difficult to copy Zheng's workshop, but the difficult thing is how to copy the workshop and the craftsmen with tools and materials.

It turned out that Xu Gai calculated so well.

The Suoshui River is a tributary of the Bianhe River, which originates from the Songshan Zhoushan Mountain between Xingyang and Luoyang, flows into the Bianhe River through Xingyang, and enters the Yellow River in the north. Although this river was called Bianshui at this time, it had not yet undergone large-scale dredging, and it was not the Tongji Canal in the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, which was later unobstructed, but it was also an important waterway from Luoyang to Huainan. It is even connected to the Ji River, one of the four desecrations, but Xu Gai can mobilize so many ships to the Zheng family's workshop under the nose of the Zheng family, Ling Yun has to admire that this Xu Gai is indeed an old fox, although he is less than thirty.

With the help of these ships, it was not difficult to evacuate quietly under the nose of the Zheng family.

By the Suoshui River, the boats docked one after another, the trestle had been erected, and the stewards and family members of the Shan Xu family who came with the boat had jumped off the boat and began to direct the craftsmen under the boat to carry goods onto the ship. The crowd gathered on the shore, Xu Dan even brought a lot of steamed buns and buckets of egg drop soup with the boat, and many frightened craftsmen and apprentices who were nervous were also hungry at this time, and the meal was suddenly very lively, and the people's hearts were much more stable. Xu Gai took this opportunity to talk about the treatment after leaving with him among the craftsmen, and the salary was double that of the Zheng family, and he would bring their families together, which attracted this group of craftsmen to be happy and grateful.

Ling Yun didn't care much about these, it can be said that this operation was Xu Gai's use of him to attack competitors, and even rob opponents to expand his armory. But Ling Yun doesn't care, the so-called friends, many times not everyone can stick a knife in the ribs of a brother, more often, friends are built in the case of mutual benefit. In this operation, Xu Gai's family got practical benefits, and Ling Yun also charged some interest to the prince, and everyone got something.

However, Xu Gai is an old fox, and he also knows that he can win the Zheng family this time, mainly relying on Ling Yun. And afterwards, you have to rely on Yang Guang behind Lingyun as a backer, so that you can really not be afraid of the prince. Therefore, after appeasing a group of craftsmen, Xu Gai generously said that the three hundred complete sets of ordnance harvested this time were divided equally among the fifty people who came, with six sets each. In addition, these materials will be folded into 5,000 yuan, and the fifty people who come will be divided into 100 percent.

The three hundred sets of ordnance were originally packed and shipped to the prince's secret armor, the whole set of ordnance included a set of iron armor, a horizontal sword, a spear, a longbow, a crossbow machine, in addition to short swords, round shields, arrows, etc., the quality is very good, according to Gao Bo's estimate, such a set also includes a lot of small pieces of complete ordnance, at least worth a hundred times, just that set of high-quality Mingguang iron armor, it is worth dozens of times.

Six sets of armor per person plus 100 guan money, which is 6 or 700 guan, 6 or 700,000 yuan of meat is good, one penny is a pound of rice, and 6 or 700,000 jin of rice. This money is nothing to Xu Gai, Shan Xiongxin, Su Yong and other heroes. But this money is actually not small, even a lot, even compared to most of the family businesses of the middle-class soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty.

At least for middle- and low-level officers like Sima Dejiao and Qin Qiong, this is a windfall. With their salaries, they may have to work for years to save that money.

Sima Dejiao was actually a little reluctant to make this trip before, especially knowing that behind this Zheng family's workshop was actually the crown prince, although he followed the king of Jin, he was not willing to offend the prince. It's just that I got gifts such as war horses and horse lances from various families before, and I have newly married brothers, so I can't save face. Who would have thought, it was just a trip, Xu Gai actually gave such a big gift. At this moment, Sima Dejiao had an impulse to ask Xu Gai if there was such a thing.

Shu Bao was also slightly excited, the Qin family was in the middle of the road, otherwise he would not have been able to join the army. Since joining the army, he is just a gang leader, and he doesn't even have a formal official position. Suddenly, I got hundreds of gifts, and I couldn't help but be surprised and excited.

"Fifth Brother Xu's good intentions, let's accept it." Ling Yun smiled slightly, this time he gave out almost tens of thousands of yuan, and he Lingyun also had two percent of shares in it, which can be said to be equivalent to almost seven thousand yuan for him. But he doesn't care, first of all, although he is the major shareholder of this joint arms, but he only takes dividends and does not interfere in the operation of these two percent shares, and secondly, these two percent dividends are not really given to him alone. These two dividends are for him, as well as for the Tiger League and the Gao family, and he is just a representative. Besides, how could Xu Gai do a loss-making business, it seems that he took out tens of thousands of yuan, but first of all, these tens of thousands of yuan are not really his, but he just robbed the prince and the Zheng family's things, and then used them to give favors. Secondly, in addition to the ones that were sent out, they still made a lot of money, and the thousands of craftsmen and apprentices alone had nowhere to buy them even if they had money. Professional and technical talents, there is no market. With these professional craftsmen, the combined arms business of Xu alone can be doubled.

In short, in the end, everyone was happy.

Xu Dan and the other seven families destroyed an important competitor, and also looted each other, robbed a lot of materials and equipment, and the biggest gain was to get thousands of craftsmen and apprentices that the prince and the Zheng family had managed to get, and they were very happy.

Sima Dejia and others were also very happy, ran a trip, there was no danger, and they made hundreds of thousands of dollars of extra money windfall, if you count the same gift worth hundreds of yuan received in Erxianzhuang, this trip in Henan, they really made a fortune, harvested nearly a thousand yuan, and almost earned a small family business.

The craftsmen are also very satisfied, most of them were forced to bring here, and now they have changed owners, their wages have doubled, and they can even bring their families together, so they are naturally satisfied.

If they are not satisfied, I am afraid that only the Zheng family, who was looted by the armory, is the most dissatisfied, but who cares about them.

The Xu family and others are worthy of being local heroes, and the efficiency of their subordinates is very fast, more than 1,000 people and many goods have been loaded into the ship soon, and then they pull up the sails and go down the river.

By noon, it had already entered the Bianhe River and passed through Xingze City.

Not far to the north, I heard the bells of the west bank.

"That's the Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo, Daihai Temple." Xu Gai said on the side.

"Daikai Temple?" Ling Yun seemed to be a little familiar with this name.

Legend Guanyin traveled north to cross people, moved to Xingyang, since then the moat of Xingyang City began to rise and fall with the tide of the sea, so this Guanyin Temple is also known as Daihai Temple. This temple has a history of more than 100 years and was built in the Wei Dynasty. ”

Xingyang, Daihai Temple, Ling Yun silently recited it several times in his heart, and suddenly remembered a name, Xingyang Dahai Temple.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xutuo, a peerless general, was brave and unparalleled, became the firefighter of the Great Sui, and went around to fight the rebellion of all parties in Henan, and his last battle was in the Dahai Temple in Xingyang. This is a hero's final battle, and at the same time, it is also a battle for the advent of heroes. In this battle, the hero Zhang Xutuo and Wagang fought again, before Zhang Xutuo defeated Wagang several times, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others heard that Zhang Xutuo changed color. But this battle was a battle commanded by Li Mi.

He sent Zhai Rang to fight against Zhang Xutuo, and deceived the enemy. Zhang Xutuo pursued, and as a result, he encountered an ambush by Li Mi in this Daihai Temple. Zhang Xutuo was outnumbered, and he and his three tigers scattered Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, and Jia Wuben. During this period, Zhang Xutuo fought his way out of the encirclement four times, but every time, he didn't leave, he said that there were still brothers who didn't come out, and every time he turned around and rushed into the battle without hesitation. But until the end, he didn't find Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, and finally in the midst of the siege, he was shot by Li Mi's student Wang Bodang with an arrow and died on the battlefield. After this battle, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Jia Wuben and others were defeated by Pei Renji, and soon after, they descended to Wagang with Pei Renji.

And Wagang also became famous because of this battle, and Li Mi became the real leader of Wagang with this battle, and also became the leader of the alliance jointly promoted by heroes from all over the world at that time.

Daihai Temple, an important node in the collapse of the Great Sui.

Ling Yun turned around, and at this time, behind him, there were many people who had participated in this important process in Daihai Temple in history.

Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Shubao, Wang Bodang, Jia Xiong, Zhai Hong, Wang Ruxin

At this moment, he was in a trance.

He also suddenly remembered the reason why Daihai Temple was later renamed Dahai Temple, before the battle of Dahai Temple, Li Yuan was the Taishou of Xingyang County, when Li Yuan's son Li Shimin suffered from eye disease, and sought countless famous doctors, and later came to Daihai Temple to seek Buddha, and the result was cured. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered Wei Chi Jingde to expand Daihai Temple, the new temple is 20 miles long from east to west, 18 miles wide from north to south, the scale is like the sea, so it was renamed Dahai Temple.

Ling Yun looked back at Wei Chigong behind him, at this time he was just a little blacksmith with a beard, his newly acquired righteous son. I can't put down the new horse lance in my hand!

History is so wonderful, looking at them, Ling Yun felt that maybe he had changed history!
