Chapter 198: Huo Qijing's Secret
Since Qiyang recovered, Huo Qijing has a feeling of "people are in good spirits at happy events", and he has more smiles.
When he went out this time, there was actually someone arranged by Huo Qijing, and he knew the general situation.
What Han Yi said here is similar, in short, they have already run this trade route, and the contacts everywhere are also stable. In addition, he also pulled the rich money, that is, the gangster leader over there.
But on the surface, the one who collects wool and cashmere is a businessman named Zheng Zhi, who is actually from Huo Qijing's side.
Xia Yuhui was shocked when he heard this.
He is not stupid, nor is he a person like Xu Wenqu who focuses on learning, the reason why Xu Wenqu recommended him is because he is good at communication, and he has also done this kind of thing, and he is an expert.
But Tang Shiyue, a little lady, is really refreshing his cognition anytime and anywhere.
At first, he was surprised that the recently famous "Hero Wine" was actually related to Tang Shiyue, but gradually, he was shocked by their connections and methods.
Although Han Yi took it for granted when he said it, he could hear all the aspects involved.
It was only at this moment that he put away all his laziness and self-righteousness, and began to really attach importance to this "job".
So in the end, it became him asking from time to time with a serious face, and Tang Shiyue and Huo Qijing chatted while eating, Xia Yuhui listened to the whispering in his ear and "chirped" like a bird, obviously these two people were really engaged in chatting.
Then the two of them were very polite until Han Yi finished speaking, and then got up and left while chatting.
Han Yi glanced at him silently, and Xia Yuhui also glanced at him silently.
The mood of both of them is: "Although the owner is very good, and the owner trusts me very much, I should be very happy, but there is always a sense of loss that is disliked, how can I break it?" ”
Then Xia Yuhui picked up the wine jug and poured him a glass of wine: "Come, Ah Yi, let's talk while drinking." Tell me about the next cashmere ......."
In fact, Tang Shiyue really listened to it with a little energy, and she didn't listen to it again when she heard that there was no big thing, she mainly remembered one thing.
There are many sheep on the grassland in Lanzhou, for the people on the grassland, that is, a person who eats mutton and drinks goat milk wine at most, but for them, in fact, the whole body of the sheep is a treasure!
If the opening for collecting wool and cashmere is opened, facing the same people, you can consider others, such as goat's milk can be used to make milk lumps, that is, cheese, which is a very delicious snack, and mutton fat, which can be used as candles and soap.
So what they have to think about now is, whether they want to do this business themselves.
Huo Qijing never thought that there was so much business to do and it was so easy to make money.
In fact, for him, it is enough to have the silver earned by hero wine, but since he can earn more, there is nothing wrong with it, and if he is worried about being taboo, he can do it in partnership.
Huo Qijing couldn't help but ask her: "Ah Yue, don't you ask me, what is the use of the silver?" ”
"It doesn't matter!" Tang Shiyue said: "I know you won't do bad things." ”
Huo Qijing sighed silently: "I want silver, mostly to comfort the families of some dead soldiers at the border pass, and the rest, I want to buy some winter clothing, grain and rice, and send it to the border pass before the cold winter comes." ”
It was the first time he really mentioned the border pass, mentioned his secrets.
Tang Shiyue nodded quietly, and was very obediently ready to make a tree hole.
He glanced at her and said softly, "Ah Yueke still remember those Lanzhou merchants?" Did they mention Huo Jiajun? ”
She nodded again, and Huo Qijing was silent for a long time: "Since the founding of the country, the Huo family has been guarding the border gates, and my grandfather Huo Bai is even known as General Yum, and his reputation is extremely high. But my father, who was frail since he was a child, was good at calligraphy and painting, but he was not good at archery, horseback and archery, let alone military formation, although he was detained by my grandfather to study, he still couldn't do it. ”
He paused: "Later, when I was born, it is said that I had a little talent, so my grandfather stopped teaching him, and only took me with him to teach, but when I was ten years old, my grandfather died on the battlefield. ”
Tang Shiyue held his hand comfortingly, and then asked him: "That 'border city waste', is it Ling Zun?" ”
Huo Qijing was stunned.
He glanced at her before nodding: "Yes, it's my father, Ah Yue is so smart that he can't hide anything from you." ”
Tang Shiyue said: "I just saw that your expression was a little wrong at that time. ”
Huo Qijing was stunned again.
He didn't expect that at that time, she would pay attention to his expression, and her eyes couldn't help but warm.
The Huo family army has guarded the border for generations, and everyone in Dayan knows it, and even Tang Shiyue, an outsider, has heard it many times.
The Huo family is known as the family of gods, and it is rare that the monarchs of all dynasties have also trusted and named the king of the northwest, which is the only king with a different surname in Dayan, hereditary replacement, and the special Yun family is in the border city. It broke the tradition of the military generals of the previous dynasties to stay in the capital.
The story of General Yum is also circulated among the people.
But Huo Qijing's father, Huo Yi, has really never heard of it.
Huo Qijing was taught by his grandfather since he was a child, but when he was ten years old, Huo Bo died on the battlefield.
Three years later, in a big battle, the Yan army was defeated, the enemy army broke through the border city, Huo Mu was killed in the chaos, Huo Yi lost his mind for a while, recklessly led the troops to counterattack, and once again broke the halberd and sank into the sand, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Huo Yi was seriously injured, and then he pleaded guilty in a blood letter, stating that he had passed the crime, and pleaded that the crime would not be for his family.
Then he killed himself in public.
In fact, this is to use the merits of the Huo family to bring the emperor to the army.
But the big mistake has been made, and in order to protect his family, Huo Yi has no other choice.
After that, Emperor Ming Yan issued an order to kidnap the title of the northwest king of the Huo family, and demoted Huo Qijing and Huo Qiyang to concubines, but he did not add any more crimes.
Since then, in the mouth of the border people, Huo Yi has become a bastard who is obsessed with love and disregards the national body, and he is also infamous after his death.
In the past two years, Huo Qijing has been working hard to earn money and compensate the families of the dead soldiers, especially those who died in the last battle, which can be regarded as atoning for his father's sins.
Now this matter is over.
Tang Shiyue listened to Huo Qijing's narration and nodded slowly.
If Huo Yi is a "waste man in the border city", even Xu Wenqu admires him so much, obviously he has a high attainment in calligraphy and painting. Then, it is normal for a literati who is good at painting and calligraphy to not be good at fighting.
It's like asking Xu Wenqu to lead the troops, and he doesn't know how to bring them, it's the same.
Huo Qijing said: "Although I left the border pass, the Huo family's personal guards, many of my grandfather's old departments, are still in my hands...... It's just ......" he hesitated: "There are many of them, we don't agree with each other, and we have drifted apart. ”
Now guarding the border pass, the main general is called Du Qisheng, who once served as Huo Bai's deputy general, and Huo Bai is a brother who has been fighting side by side for many years.
Many people think that Du Qisheng is ungrateful, taking away the Huo family army and taking away the position of the Huo family's main general, hoping that Huo Qijing can drive away Du Qisheng and regain the boss's tiger talisman.
Tang Shiyue asked, "What do you think?" ”
"There's nothing to think about," Huo Qijing said very calmly: "What do you say about the Huo family's army, in the final analysis, it is Dayan's soldiers and horses, no matter how many generations we have been in charge, we will not become the Huo family's private army." And General Du Lao was also appointed by the imperial court to be the commander, not to rob the Huo family's tiger talisman. ”
He sighed: "So, their statement is inappropriate, and in the final analysis, it is just unwilling." ”
