The west city of Lingzhou City is where the original Lingzhou Mansion is located, and the large and small yamen are concentrated on one street, and after the Song army occupied it, it was requisitioned as the camp of the prince and the military headquarters of the loyal army. With the war calming down, the shops and restaurants on the street are gradually opening for business, and the vendors and pawns are gradually increasing, recovering the liveliness of the past.

The Lingzhou Mansion is a large compound with three roads and four entrances, and it also adopts the form of the Han system of the front and back houses, and the front yard is reserved for Zhao Ren's office, and his personal guards and military law teams are stationed in it. The back hall is naturally occupied by the prince, garrisoned by the guard battalion, Zhao Ta lives in the east courtyard, since the last assassination attempt, his safety has become the first priority of the loyal army, to enter this courtyard at least four posts, not counting the secret sentry arranged in the hidden place, it can be said that the guard is heavily guarded.

Having learned the lesson of the last intelligence failure, Li Jun, the director of intelligence, also transferred people from all over the place, pretending to be all kinds of characters to mix in the streets and alleys, and at the same time transferred the 'iron hand' to Lingzhou City, and lived in a compound near the mansion.

The two sides temporarily ceased fighting, and Zhao Ta also had a little free, and he wanted to go to see the eight scenes of Lingzhou, but he was in no mood when he thought that he would hug him as soon as he went out. Just when I was bored, someone came to report that Erwa and Zhang Qu came back together, and Zhao Ta immediately came to the spirit and asked people to invite them in.

"Lord Wang, the second baby has given the order, and the task is complete. Now send the captives to Lingzhou City with the caravan. It's just that the person put it a little early, isn't it? The second baby was dressed as a caravan man, and saw the prince Shi Lidao.

"It's not early, just right, we just broke the city, and Brother Cha ran back, I have to give you a big credit!" Zhao Ta pulled the second baby and said with a smile, "You have all worked hard, you have been in the place where the bird doesn't for so long!" ”

"Alas, my lord, we are done coming back. Didn't try my best! Erwa said that after the prince and Cha Ge finished talking near the Situ River that day, Er Wa led the team to cross the river in Cha Ge and his party according to the order, and entered the time when the Shahai people were sleepy and tired. Disguised as horse thieves, they captured them all, locked them up, and they became guards and missed the battle.

"Erwa, you are wrong, your role is greater than taking a Lingzhou City, have a good rest, now is the time to employ people, and you are busy!" Zhao Ta patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Lord Wang, Zhang did come as ordered. Please command! Zhang did see that the prince had sent away the second baby, and came over to give a salute.

"Did I bring everything you had with you?" Zhao Ta asked him to sit down.

"Lord Wang, I have brought all the 213 Xixia people in Xiazhou safely, and all of them have been placed in the designated place outside the city!" Zhang Qu replied, it is not easy for these people to get it, they are all put together in phases and batches, and they have to be 'picked up' on the road, some are 'bought' with money, some are 'cheated', and some are even 'hand-to-hand' robbed, he doesn't know why the prince of Lu Dao wants him to spend so much money, but he also knows that there must be a deep meaning. But he didn't dare to ask, just do as he was told.

"Well, you have to take good care of these people, don't have any accidents at this time!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, these people are the children of Western Xia nobles captured by the loyal army. He had already instructed Jianxi to take measures to separate these people. Then all kinds of coincidences were created, and they all got them into Zhang Qu's caravan.

"Don't worry, these people are all isolated by their subordinates, divided into several caravans, with different information from each other, and placed in different stations!" Zhang Qu said, "I heard that the prince captured Lingzhou, and his subordinates didn't sleep for two days when they were happy, and our business can be bigger this time!" ”…,

"What else do I want?" Zhao Ta ignored the elated Zhang Qu, frowned and asked again.

"Oh, look at the little head, I'm happy to forget all the things that the prince wants, I've already brought it, it's in the car, I'll let them in right away!" Zhang Qu was stunned for a moment, patted his head and said suddenly, and immediately went out to let people move in a few huge red lacquer boxes.

"All as I was told?" Zhao asked with a smile.

"Lord Wang, you have repeatedly instructed your subordinates to careless, this is all the best things to choose, and it is absolutely impossible to make it by the best craftsmen, or you can take a look!" Zhang Qu patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay, I'll give you the money when I get back!" Zhao Ta nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't mean to inspect the goods, "Zhao Xin, you move these things to your house first." He twisted his face and said to Zhao Xin.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Zhao Xin agreed, and ordered someone to move the box out of the box, but Zhang Cheng looked at Zhao Xin suspiciously, as if he had thought of something.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, this time our business is going to be bigger, you have to be ready, our caravan will not only go to the whole Hexi in the future, but also be able to do the Uighurs, Tibetans, and Black Khan, and go further, and you will have to take care of the business in Hexi in the future!" Zhao Tan looked at Zhang and said sincerely.

"Huh?!" Zhang Qu was surprised and almost knocked over the teacup, "Lord Wang, you trust your subordinates so much, and your subordinates will never give up!" He suddenly turned over and knelt down and said, do business all over Hexi, the Western Regions, in the past he didn't dare to think about it, what a big business this is, I didn't expect the prince to let himself take care of it today, I can't help but let him be grateful.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I hurriedly recruited you this time to let you become a trafficker first!" Zhao Ta helped Zhang Qu up.

"Lord Wang, please command!" Zhang Qu is on the rise at the moment, let alone let him sell people, let him kill people without blinking an eye.

"You have been walking in Western Xia all year round, and you must know the characters of Western Xia very well!" Zhao Ta saw Zhang Qu nodding and continued, "I have a roster here, you can re-verify the identities of the people above, see how their family background is, how strong the family is, and then we will talk to them about business!" ”

"Lord Wang, these are the children of the Western Xia clan, are you going to sell them..."Zhang Qu took the roster, flipped through the roster and said in surprise, he was not a stupid person, and suddenly remembered those people who were mixed in his caravan, it turned out to be them.

"Well, strictly let them ransom!" Zhao Ta nodded slightly, confirming his conjecture, "These people are all the children of the Western Xia nobles captured in the previous campaigns, their status is noble, if they are returned in vain, we will suffer a big loss, they go back as captives, not to mention the family's reputation, their own future is over, so now their identities are all missing, and you were inadvertently rescued, of course, you have to take a lot of risks, and you should collect some hardship fees!" ”

"The prince means to let his subordinates contact his family members as outsiders, trade secretly, and avoid the official mansions of the two countries quietly!" Zhang Qu said with a twinkle in his eyes when he heard this.

"Yes, you have to carefully screen and help our future business, you can sell half and give it away for free, but you must grasp the scale, don't make a loss-making transaction!" Zhao Ta was quite satisfied with his comprehension and admonished.

"Don't worry, your subordinates understand, we have to put a long line to catch big fish!" Zhang Qu nodded and said, with the help of these people to pave the way for future business, but he felt in his heart that the prince was really not a mortal, he had considered today's things as early as the beginning of the war, and he had a long-term vision...

"Zhao Xin, everything has been put away?" At this time, Zhao Xin walked in, her face was crimson, very excited and shy, Zhao Tan asked.

"The second master has put it away!" Zhao Xin replied softly. …,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, how much are these things worth, I'll give you the money!" Zhao Ta said to Zhang Qu.

"Lord Wang, how can you collect your money for some things, it can be regarded as a subordinate honoring you, if you collect your money, isn't it a slap in the face of the villain?" Zhang Qu waved his hand.

"No, my brother still has to settle accounts, if you can do it for me, this king is very grateful, how can you not collect money!" Zhao Ta said unhappily.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you have followed the prince for so many years, and you still don't know his temper? Don't make the prince angry! Zhao Xin said.

"That's... Then the subordinates are welcome, this batch of goods are selected high-quality satin, the best embroiderers, tailors and craftsmen invited, if it is on the market, less than 20,000 small ones will not be shot, and some of the things are processed by the shopkeeper of Sun, I told him that the prince wanted, and he only charged a cost. Since the prince insists on counting the money, the small ones can't ask for more, and they can also be returned to the small ones according to the cost! "Zhang is indeed worthy of being a good dealer, even if he suffers a loss, he has to fall into personal favors, "Lord Wang, free of a fraction, you will give the villain 7,000 yuan, the road expenses and material money are even if the caravan is the caraver, anyway, the caravan is also yours, everywhere is the same, you just give the small one a note, just deduct it from the year-end accounting, and you don't need to move money!" ”

"Well, your price is quite kind, I gave an extra hundred yuan, and I drank for the guys, and everyone laughed at me for being stingy!" Zhao Tan said with a smile, and then instructed Zhao Xin to write a note, stamped his signature and handed it to Zhang Qu.

"Lord Wang, the matter is done, the subordinates will leave first, and then come back when there is a small eyebrow!" Zhang Qushili said goodbye.

"Well, I won't leave you to eat today, and I should come back in two days, just discuss the matter!" Zhao Ta nodded, and then asked Zhao Xin to send him out.

"Chief Guard Zhao, the prince has purchased so many things for women, is it given to the little lady of the folding family, if the prince marries one day, you can inform me as soon as possible, and prepare a congratulatory gift as soon as possible, the prince has taken great care of Lao Zhang over the years, how can he not lack the number of courtesies!" Zhang Qu said to Zhao Xin as he walked out.

"I don't know much, but if I have news, I can not tell you, you have made a fortune over the years, and the prince has long wanted to scrape some oil and water from you!" Zhao Xin listened, his heart sank, but his face remained unchanged, and he joked.

"Ha Luha, Captain Zhao will also joke, what do you need, just say hello, Lao Zhang will not give up!" Zhang Quda said with a smile, Zhao Xin used to be true to them, and now he can joke with him, obviously he has treated him as his own... (To be continued.)
