The reason why the Runing Army wanted this area, and it was also carefully calculated, was to establish a large number of reclamation Zhuangzi in this area to protect the safety of the Runing Army's sailor port, and also had a role, that is, to facilitate the future operations of the Runing Army in Nanzhili and Huguang.

However, the lack of Lu'an has made this well-designed base one less link, how can this not make Chang Meng annoyed? You must know that the Reclamation Commercial Bank is not only a money-making commercial house, but also a pioneer in the development of territory by the Runing Army!

"Master Chang! Do you want the little one to bring some brothers to give Nazhi County a little color to see? One of the leaders of the guards asked.

"You don't have a brain, huh? Thought it was in Runing? Chang Meng immediately scolded, "You don't think the old man has enough trouble?" Do you want to add another fire to him? ”

Seeing that the high-level executives of the commercial banks were silent, Chang Meng waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get out!" Give me some gifts, and I'll personally visit the magistrate who doesn't get in the oil and salt. ”

"My lord! It is not wise to boast and oppose my family! Chang Meng said while secretly looking at Sun Zhixian's face, and what made him strange was that although his tone was very heavy, Sun Zhixian still had a smile, as if he didn't care. Although Chang Meng said that the more he spoke, the more bottomless he became, he still had to finish his words, "I advise you, you should accept the gift!" If not......! ”

"What if it doesn't?" Sun Zhixian suddenly put away his smile, "Brother Shigong dares to do anything about this county?" Tell me about it, huh? Sun Zhixian's tone was getting heavier and heavier.

"Brother Shigong!?" Chang Meng couldn't calm down all of a sudden, and he immediately asked cautiously: "Dare to ask my lord, you and my family are old acquaintances?" ”

"More than ten years of friendship." That Sun Zhixian did not hide it, "Fellow classmate! Friends! Sun Zhixian said in an accentuated tone.

Chang Meng stood up from his seat all of a sudden, he was from the Wu Mansion, so he definitely didn't dare to lose the rules. So Chang bowed down and gave a big salute and said, "The little one is from the old man's mansion." Say hello to grandpa. Please ask grandpa Gao's name! ”

"Sun Chengxiu of this county." While speaking, Sun Chengxiu took out a letter from his sleeve, "Give this to Brother Shigong!" ”

……

Don't say how Chang Meng returned in a gloomy manner. After the conversation, Sun Chengxiu returned to the inner house, and his wife greeted him with his young son in her arms. When he saw Sun Chengxiu, he said, "Master! Uncle is good, why should you embarrass him? ”

"Women, what do you know?" Sun Chengxiu immediately blew his beard and glared. But as soon as he saw his young son, he was about to wake up, so he hurriedly said, "What are you doing with your son out?" Hurry up and go to sleep in his room! ”

Although he has not been in contact with Wu Shigong for a long time, Sun Chengxiu has never forgotten this friendship. So Sun Chengxiu has always been very concerned about Wu Shigong's every move.

In the beginning. Every time Wu Shigong was in danger, Sun Chengxiu was happy for his friends, but as Wu Shigong rose step by step, Sun Chengxiu felt that something was wrong.

Wu Shigong's Taoguang cultivation at the beginning completely avoided the attention of the imperial court. But no matter how much you escape. can't escape the eyes of those who have a heart. For example: the enemy Yu Zilian; For example: friend Sun Chengxiu. So Sun Chengxiu was one of the first few people to discover Wu Shigong's ambitions.

Of course, Sun Chengxiu would not report such a trumped-up speculation to the imperial court. will not deliberately expose Wu Shigong. Anyway, the sky is high and the road is far away, as long as the two of them are safe. Therefore, Sun Chengxiu has not been in contact with Wu Shigong.

The reason why this is the case is because Sun Chengxiu has a son in middle age. Now he has no head in the officialdom, and he is very lucky to be a prefect at most, so Sun Chengxiu's heart is all pinned on the safe growth of his son.

What happened after that. also confirmed Sun Chengxiu's judgment. The Runing army shot the gentry indiscriminately in Huanggang and beat the magistrate. Then Wu Shigong was arrested and killed by Qincha. After failing to do so, Wu Shigong killed all the Jinyi guards who guarded Qincha. Although this matter was finally quelled by the imperial court, Wu Shigong's wolf ambition could not be concealed. Therefore, Sun Chengxiu didn't want to have anything to do with Wu Shigong anymore.

But the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, Sun Chengxiu wants to hide. Wu Shigong took the initiative to find the door. Sun Chengxiu knew the background of the Jimin Reclamation Commercial Bank, so he categorically refused the Commercial Bank to enter Lu'an.

Chang Meng was quite depressed this time, and he could only ask Wu Shigong for an idea. But compared to Tao Xin, Chang Meng is still good, and now Tao Xin is already speechless with surprise.

Regarding Wu Shigong's order, Tao Xin was not as obsessed with it as Xiaojie. Although it was the beginning of the new marriage, and Xiaojie was like glue, Tao Xin could still understand Wu Shigong's hard work, so as soon as he received the order, he led the new legion and the pro-army team allocated to him to Nanzhili.

"General! We can buy everything here, we can sell everything, it depends on whether the general can afford this price. "A merchant was mouthful in front of Tao Sin.

When he passed through Huoqiu and set up camp, a merchant came to his door. Out of curiosity, Tao Xin met with him, but he did not expect that the merchant was specifically doing business with the army.

"And what do you have here?" Tao Xin asked curiously.

"Women, wine, everything, and the price is quite cheap. There are also a lot of fabrics and mountain goods. Of course, we also collect things, all horses, weapons, and armor, even grain and grass, and both silver and goods, and the children are not deceived. ”

"And what is the price of the horse?" Tausin grew more and more interested.

"It depends on the quality of the horse."

"I'll just ask the war horse."

"Then thirty taels of silver." The merchant replied.

So cheap? Tao Xin immediately thought that the Runing army was short of war horses, so he then asked, "Are you really at this price?" If it is true, sell it to the official first, and pay for it as soon as the goods arrive. ”

"Huh? Isn't the general selling? That's not the price, that's forty taels! The merchant quickly changed his tune.

"What do you mean?" A question mark suddenly rose on Tao Xin's head, "Could it be that your war horses were all collected in the army?" ”

"This ......! The general still don't ask more. Anyway, I made sure that the horse was fat and strong. ”

"That's it!" Tao Xin thought about it for a while, he led his troops to fight in Nanzhili, and he didn't have time to take care of those bad things in other places, so he didn't want to make trouble. But it was forty taels, and the war horse was also quite cheap, so he asked inquiringly: "Forty taels is forty taels, send a hundred to the official first, and if you are satisfied, then come to the day for a long time." ”

"Do you want harness, then? A set of ten taels of harness. ”

"You even have harness here? Is there any artillery or gunpowder? ”

"Yes, there are several ...... of this artillery" (to be continued......)
