Here, Yan Hong waited out of the yamen of the military department, Li Chengliang and others were waiting outside the yamen, and when they saw them coming out, they quickly kowtowed to Lu Bing together, thanking Lu Dajinwu for his rescue. Lu Bing said with a smile: "Why bother, you are all heroes who kill enemies for the country, and you deserve to be awarded." This official will go first, virtuous nephew, you will be with them. Then he whipped and walked away.

Lu Bing left, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Chengliang stepped forward and said: "It turns out that the little minister is the eldest grandson of Yuanfu, and my old Li has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but he has lost his manners." Xiao Xianggong reached out to help today, this kindness and virtue, Li Mou will not dare to forget. ”

Yan Hong hurriedly put his hands together and said, "How can you worry about it." General Li is on the border of Shizhen, and he is a city for the country, and Yan admires it very much, and today's things should be effective. ”

Sun Lie also said on the side: "This General Li is indeed a good man, he helped us in the yamen, and beat that dog official, if it weren't for Yan Yan's arrival, I'm afraid I would have to suffer." He knew that his status was low, the relatives of the concubines were not among the in-laws, and the word virtuous son-in-law could never be called.

After this incident, Yan Hong's official business had to be delayed first. It happened that the time was close to noon, so Yan Hong took Li Chengliang, Sun Lie, He Dayong and others to the cheap shop, prepared a banquet, and recounted the past few days by the way.

Speaking of Sun Lie and others in Shandong, how majestic it is, on the green forest road, even the governor and prefect are not in their eyes. It's just that the situation is different from the past, and now that he has been recruited, he can no longer disagree as in the past, and draw his sword against each other. They have been sneered at by the officials of the Ministry of War in the past few days, and they have all endured it, and Sun Lie specially ordered not to say it to his uncle. lest you have to have your uncle come out in everything in your family. Most of the money of these people was used to make a dowry for Sun Yuerong. If you want to pay a bribe, you are also shy in your pocket. You can only survive there. Those military officials didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong, but they were sarcastic and debauched, and said that Sun Yuerong was debauched, not to mention that their backgrounds were all obtained by being shameless and offering their daughters for glory.

To be honest, Feihushan got the actual position this time, and it really relied on the emperor's extra care to a large extent. It makes perfect sense to say that it is Sun Yuerong's nepotism. But on the other hand, the people of Feihu Mountain in Jinan are indeed fighting hard with the White Lotus Sect and the Mongols, and their bloody and dangerous level is not under the great battle at the border pass. Now that he has been viciously degraded like this, even if it is the truth, he can't speak so badly!

They later spoke for Li Chengliang again, and as a result, Li Chengliang was also involved. As a result, the trouble has reached today, and it is unbearable, and under the quarrel, it is a trouble after all. If it weren't for Yan Hong arriving. Most of them will suffer.

When Yan Hong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Father-in-law." Why don't you treat me as your own? The son-in-law is half a child's work, if there is such a thing, you should tell me early in the morning, and when the son-in-law comes out, you will not be exposed to the bird's anger of these days. I have seen your farewell this time, in addition to those who stayed in the Jinyi Yamen of the Beijing Division, one group went to Shandong Biaoying, and the other batch was allocated to Hu Lao Duxian for use. In Shandong, I have dealings with those four people, and Ding Yizhong also wants to give me some face. In Zhejiang, the third son of Hu Lao Duxian and his staff Mr. Xu have some friendship with me, and I will go back and repair a few letters, you must bring them to your office, go to the door first, and then talk about other things. In addition, the silver must also be taken, all kinds of joints are dredged, how can you leave the money, if you are polite, you will not take the son-in-law as your own family. ”

Seeing him make such an arrangement, Sun Lie couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the money with a red face, as for the letter, it was too late to write it at this time, so he could only wait to talk about it later.

Then Li Chengliang was arrogant, and said to Sun Lie: "Old man, what Yan Xianggong said is reasonable, you can accept it when you are old." But if you don't have today, you wouldn't be able to make good friends. This fight is still enough, come and eat and drink, and don't get drunk today. ”

Yan Hong saw that this person was very bold, and he faintly knew his prestige in later generations, just now in the yamen of the military department, he listened to the dialogue between Yang Bo and Li Chengliang, and knew that this Li family's family was very powerful, and he had the heart to make friends at the moment. So I talked to him about the military of Liaodong. Yan Hong himself doesn't know anything about the actual war, but he has always read some historical and military novels, and he can talk a few words on paper. But seeing Li Chengliang talking eloquently, talking about tearing and killing in battle, he did not avoid arrows and stones, he was indeed a great general. He asked again: "I wonder how many families the Li family has now?" ”

Li Chengliang said: "Although my Li family is not good now, they also have two hundred families, and when they meet the Jurchens and Tartars, they dare to fight to the death with them when they rush up, and they have never been afraid of anything." The armor and weapons are not boasted by a certain family, but the guards in Liaodong can't find anything better than my family. ”

Yan Hong asked: "If Brother Li is rich and rich, will this Ding also have to be expanded?" ”

Li Chengliang said: "That's nature. Now I don't have any money in my hand, if I have money one day, I will naturally have to recruit more family members. Choose the strong, bold and loyal one, no matter how you have to recruit thousands of people, equip him well, and train him strictly. At that time, I look at the entire Liaodong, which Tartar dares to make trouble? ”

Yan Hong nodded: "In that case, brother, I will give you a fortune." The elder brother's family has expanded, and it is also very beneficial to Yu Guochao. ”

Li Chengliang said: "Yan Xianggong, your kindness, old Li Xinling." It's just that this army is a bottomless pit, and no matter how strong one person is, it is difficult to support a large army. You must know that in addition to military salaries and food, horses, weapons, and armor are all money. Your Yan family is rich, but it's not such a law, and Lao Li is in the side court, if you use the money of your Yan Xiangye's family to raise soldiers, you must also prevent someone from looking for you. ”

Yan Hong smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart that this guy looks very rude, but he still has a little heart. At the moment, he said: "Brother Li is very knowledgeable, and he is not using my own money to support your brother's soldiers." I thought, after a while, the imperial court may want to open up sea trade, and when the time comes, you will contribute a share of the capital, trade to make a fortune, and use this income to raise soldiers and horses, won't you be able to recruit many more families? ”

Li Chengliang's expression was first overjoyed when he heard this, but then he was gloomy: "Yan Xianggong, this thing sounds good, but if you join hands with others, you also need to be rich." All the money of my Li family was spent on the family, otherwise I would not be empty-handed and have no money to stuff a dog hole in the military department. Now it's this sea to make money, but I can't get in, so I have to watch others get rich. ”

Yan Hong said: "You don't have to take the capital to heart, I still have some silver taels in my hand, so I will take it out and invest in the shares, make money, and share your share of the interest, if you lose it, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Hearing Yan Hong say this, Li Chengliang was surprised and asked, "Yan Xianggong, you and I are not relatives, why are you so kind?" My Lao Li is not a person who doesn't know what to do, but he also knows that the Tao is useless. I don't dare to take this kind of favor. ”

Yan Hong waved his hand and said: "That's not the case, the nine sides of the national dynasty have been invaded by the Tartars, defeated every year, and lost the opportunity every year. Yan Mou made some effort to help from it, but it was nothing, and besides, today's matter, General Li extended a helping hand, and also made Yan feel guilty, I want to make this friend. If Brother Li refuses to accept the reward in vain, then borrow ten people and eight people from your family to serve as guards in my caravan, and you can be regarded as a shareholder, which is always reasonable, right? ”

Li Chengliang didn't know that this young man was a rare golden thigh, but he just wanted to come to his own lack of capital and was difficult to cling. Now that the other party is turning in, if he doesn't know the way, he will not be able to give face. At the moment, he hurriedly drank wine, bowed down and said: "Thanks to Yan Xianggong for looking up to me, Lao Li will have the courage to make you a friend, and this silver money will be talked about after the sea is opened." But no matter whether there is money or not, he will be useful to me in Lao Li's place every day, just open his mouth, and a certain family will never be that ungrateful villain. ”

Yan Hong saw that Li Chengliang was bold and refined, but he also liked this person very much, and immediately took advantage of the wine and said: "In this case, then Yan is willing to marry Brother Li as a brother, and my father-in-law will lead the alliance, I wonder if Brother Li will give this face?" ”

Li Chengliang was overjoyed when he heard this. In recent years, the children of civil officials have pulled military generals to worship them, but it is really difficult to find. Especially if the other party is the first assistant grandson, now the celebrity in the court officialdom, even his own outsiders know that the word Yan Chunchen is given by the Son of Heaven, if he is a brother with him, he will have great benefits in the future.

He hurriedly raised the wine bowl and said, "What are these words?" The little minister gave me face, do I dare not carry it? It just so happens that Grandma Sun is also here, we will be brothers from today onwards, and I will climb big and call you brothers. ”

Yan Hong also picked up the wine bowl, touched it with the other party, and said, "Brother respect." "Raise your head and drink it all. He thought in his heart, this Li Chengliang is now the time when he has not encountered wealth, and he pulls him by himself, which can be regarded as a bottom-buying investment. The so-called icing on the cake, how can it be like sending charcoal in the snow, with today's incense love, you can form a friendship with the Li family. In the future, if the Yan family falls, it is also a way to flee to Liaodong. Thousands of miles of fertile soil, white mountains and black waters, it is a good hiding place, and with such a local tyrant to protect him, he is not afraid of being pursued by the imperial court.

This was a great joy for the guests and hosts, and when they parted, Yan Hong took the silver ticket on his body and gave it to Li Chengliang and said: "Big brother, I don't have much money on me, you buy yourself a good line first, and make more contacts in Beijing, he will be useful every day." Tell me where you live, and I'll ask my family to send you a piece of gold and silver. ”

Seeing that Li Chengliang wanted to resign, Yan Hong said with a straight face: "You and I are siblings with different surnames, and we already have the meaning of wealth, could it be that my eldest brother looks down on me in his bones?" ”

When Li Chengliang heard this, he accepted all the silver tickets, and thought in his heart: If Li is down-and-out in this life, he will naturally stop mentioning everything. He will be rewarded tenfold if he is rich and prosperous one day. He drank and ate a lot, and at this time, his blood surged, and he held Yan Hong's hand and said: "Brother, the eldest brother is stupid and doesn't know how to speak, and I hope you don't have to be surprised when you speak." I have heard people say that flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are not good for a thousand days, and your family is now very good, but since my dynasty, there are few Wenchen who can enjoy the scenery of the third world. If one day, my brother encounters any difficulties, don't forget that there is my eldest brother in Liaodong. As long as I go to Liaodong, I can also take on the big stake. (To be continued......)
