After returning to his camp, Zhu Quan looked at his master Qin Zhuofeng, and said in a deep voice: "While Lan Yu is training the army here, we have to find the thousands of cavalry under Feng Tieling." ”

"In the past, the old madman had to guard against the Yuan army under Nahachu in Liaodong, and he also had to beware of the kid Lan Yu, and the place where he was stationed should be very secretive, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to find." Qin Zhuofeng said with a frown. He and Feng Tieling, who saved Zhu Quan and Xu Ying's life by mistake in the past, both served in the rebel army under Chen Youliang in their early years, and they were lifelong friendships, so they naturally called him an "old madman".

Zhu Quan scratched his head, and suddenly recalled that when he had an encounter with Feng Tieling, he had witnessed his brother-in-law, Shen Peng, the profiteer under Ouyang Lun, trading salt with Feng Tieling, maybe he could get some news from Shen Fatzi. Thinking of this, he and Qin Zhuofeng walked towards Lan Yu's handsome tent together.

Lan Yu was discussing with Wang Bi, Guo Ying and others in the big tent about training soldiers, and when he heard that his soldiers reported that King Ning wanted to see him, he immediately ordered him to come in. Seeing that Qin Zhuofeng also walked into the handsome tent with a big grin, he was not annoyed, and arched his hand towards him with a peaceful face, looking quite respectful. Although he was arrogant and arrogant, but the last time he conquered Nahachu, he had witnessed Qin Zhuofeng and the masters of the Oirat tribe under Tuhuan sacrifice their lives to fight, and later he succeeded in the night attack on Gyeongju, and he also relied on Qin Zhuofeng's means to assassinate the main general of the Yuan army unknowingly, the cunning and calm Pingzhangguo. It is to look at this master with supreme martial arts, but it is much more pleasing to the eye than the apprentice.

After listening to what Zhu Quan said about wanting to personally recruit Feng Tieling, Lan Yu slightly bowed his head and agreed. When he was responding to the sky, he had the will of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu, asking him to try his best to recruit An, a subordinate of Chen Youliang in the past, and naturally he would not speak out against it at this time.

"I heard that their whereabouts are secret, how does Your Highness plan to start looking for them?" Lan Yu asked with a frown. It turns out that the land of Liaodong at this time, although it is fertile and thousands of miles, but because Nahachu has been raging in Liaodong for many years, it is still vast and sparsely populated, and it is tantamount to looking for this cavalry with thousands of people coming and going like the wind in such a large area.

After Zhu Quan said his plan to find Shen Peng's idea, Guo Ying's eyes flashed on Wang Bi's side, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the last time Marshal Feng Sheng surrendered to Nahachu, the "Wuliangha" Sanwei people decided to submit to our Ming court, His Majesty has already ordered to open a field in Daning, so that all the large and small tribes in Liaodong who are now submissive to our Ming Dynasty will come here to trade tea, horses, salt and other things. Although the current field has not yet been established, it will be a market for private merchants and herdsmen of all ethnic groups in a few days, and it will not be difficult to find Shen Peng when the time comes. ”

Although the tea and horse trade is expressly forbidden by the imperial court, because the wife married by Ouyang Lun is Princess Anqing, who was born to Queen Ma, she can be regarded as Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved daughter. Therefore, from the founding fathers below Feng Sheng to the border generals everywhere, they all have to give this horse master some face. At present, not long after the pacification of Liaodong, under fear, almost no other mainland merchants came to Liaodong to trade with the tribal herdsmen, and Shen Peng honestly and unceremoniously monopolized all border transactions. Each time, the goods were only transported to Daning for sale, and they were no longer traded in convoys to the territory of Wuliang Hasanwei as before.

Zhu Quan heard Guo Ying say this, so he calmed down and turned to leave.

At the market a few days later, Zhu Quan asked Ma Sanbao to go to the city to find Shen Peng's location, and specially told him to go to the city to find a restaurant and have a "casual banquet" with Shen Peng to discuss important matters. The requirements for the restaurant are only eight words, not the best, but the most expensive.

In the afternoon more than an hour later, Zhu Quan found Zhu Di, and Qin Zhuofeng, Ma Sanbao and others walked towards the city like a wolf and a tiger with great anticipation.

Since Lan Yu reorganized the army, the military regulations have been extremely strict. Although Zhu Quan and Zhu Di were princes, seeing that Lan Yu was eating rough food like ordinary soldiers every day, he forced himself to endure and stayed in the army camp to suffer, and did not dare to openly go to the city to enjoy himself. At this time, under the pretext of "doing things according to orders", they naturally hoped to slaughter this fat man who was almost oily. .com Zhu Quan has already made up his mind to be in the same boat with Zhu Laosi, so he doesn't want to hide this matter from him and go hand in hand, so as not to cause unnecessary estrangement and be detrimental to each other.

Daning was the largest city in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and because of its extremely important strategic position, even when Nahachu ravaged Liaodong, it was firmly guarded by the Ming Dynasty's heavy troops. In the past, it was only occasionally attacked by a small group of Yuan troops, and it has never suffered from the disaster of fire. The city is densely populated, with more than 100,000 people living and working in peace and contentment, although it is far from being compared with the prosperous Jingshi places such as Yingtianna, but it is also full of vitality.

At the gate of the most luxurious restaurant in the city, "Hongbin Building", Shen Peng frowned and secretly thought to himself. I recalled in my mind that His Royal Highness King Ning, who was rampaging in the past, had the audacity to go to Liaodong with himself in the "Wuliangha" three guards, making a fuss everywhere, and when he returned, he was still afraid of the danger of being chased and killed by the Yuan army of Highlander. Thinking of the "reasonableness" and arrogance of this highness when he was repaying his debts, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and secretly prayed that this little ancestor who he could never afford to offend would not give himself any more problems. It turned out that a few days ago, he had already received a letter from his owner, Ouyang Lun, the commander of the horses, asking him to make good friends with these two Yan Wang, Ning Wang, who are currently favored by His Majesty the Emperor and are very likely to hold military power in the future. Today, when he was busy, after hearing Ma Sanbao's message, he had to squeeze out time to feast on the two highnesses.

Shen Peng saw Zhu Quan's figure from a distance, walked forward quickly, bowed down with a smile, and said, "Grass people Shen Peng, see the two adults." He is a very sleek businessman, seeing Zhu Quan and Zhu Di coming in civilian clothes, he no longer pays homage to the two princes with a big gift, so as not to reveal their identities in public.

Zhu Quan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't help but smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, but you seem to be lucky again." He had been with Shen Peng for many days, and he could be regarded as friends who shared hardships and hardships, and he seemed quite affectionate in words.

Zhu Di couldn't help frowning secretly when he heard this, and said with a smile in his heart: Zhu Quan, this kid, doesn't have the slightest bit of a prince's shelf, and he has made friends with such a lowly businessman, but he has no trace of etiquette. One moment with a knife and a tartar to fight hard, and a while with people patting shoulders and arms, not like a prince, but like a reckless man in the green forest. How did he know that Zhu Quan got along with his masters Qin Zhuofeng and Xu Ying all day long, and he was unconsciously contaminated with a lot of habits in the rivers and lakes, but he just pretended to follow the rules when he met Zhu Yuanzhang. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one cares about things. After coming to Liaodong and leaving the barracks, the laziness was unconsciously revealed.

Shen Peng smiled and respectfully invited the two princes to go upstairs. After coming to the third floor, Zhu Quan, Zhu Di and Shen Peng went to sit in the private room that had been booked for a secret talk. Qin Zhuofeng has always been so wary of Yan Wang Zhu Di, and he can hear that Zhang Yu and Sima Chao are always arguing to fight wine along the way, so he honestly and unceremoniously ordered a few jars of good wine, sat down with them in a place outside the private room, and drank happily, with the intention to treat these two hairy boys who claimed to have a large number of hairy heads.

After Zhu Quan took a sip of the hot tea offered by his buddy, he looked Shen Peng up and down, and suddenly said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Shen is the most powerful person under his brother-in-law, right?" How can you still be so frugal and thrifty? With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the cloth clothes that Shen Peng was wearing. In his mind, Shen Peng monopolized the trade of tea horses, silk, salt and other transactions of various tribes in Liaodong, and was a business tycoon who could mobilize tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn. Such a simple cloth dress is far from the majestic CEO who rode a luxury car and wore a famous brand in his previous world. Is this what the ancients said about wealth not to be revealed?

Zhu Di had already heard about the relationship between Shen Peng and his brother-in-law, Ouyang Lun, the commander of the horses, and heard Zhu Quan say this at this time, so he was naturally not surprised, and secretly thought to himself: Ouyang Lun, this kid doesn't seem to be obvious on weekdays, but he just travels extensively, but he has the courage and courage to openly do tea and horse transactions that violate the ban of the imperial court in this Liaodong land, from this point of view, Lan Yu, Wang Bi, Guo Ying and other border army generals are afraid that they all have their own share in such lucrative tea and horse transactions. It seems that after returning to Yingtian, I have to make more decisions about this brother-in-law who has hands and eyes.

Shen Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said slowly: "Doesn't Your Highness know? Our Ming Dynasty paid attention to scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce. But all the teenagers who have a little ambition are studying hard in the cold window, hoping to win a fame one day. Not only can we and other businessmen not be able to participate in the imperial examination, but we are also not allowed to wear silk clothes, even if we have a dispute with an ordinary farmer and start a lawsuit, it will be our loss. Even if the family has a huge amount of money, when he sees those talents who have no long things, he will immediately be half shorter, let alone sit on an equal footing. ”

Zhu Quan was drinking tea at this time, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he choked and coughed again and again, and said with a forced smile: "Could it be that you sell a lot of silk to the tribal herdsmen all day long, but you can't wear silk clothes yourself?" Although he knew about the low social status of merchants in this Ming Dynasty society, he never expected that even wearing a silk dress would scold people, and he couldn't help but be unexpected.

"I want to come to His Royal Highness because I live in the palace, and I don't know the suffering of the people." Shen Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

Zhu Quan touched his chin and suddenly smiled: "In fact, as far as I can see, many nerds who memorize the Four Books and Five Classics will only talk about the truth, if it is about the ability to do practical things, I am afraid that it is far from being comparable to your shopkeeper Shen." When he said this, he secretly thought to himself: The developed countries in later generations are all commercially developed countries. Under the governance of Old Man Zhu, our Ming Dynasty gave priority to agriculture and imperial examinations, but there was class discrimination against merchants. The feudal education of the Eight Stocks of the Imperial Examination has indeed cultivated a lot of nerds. Like Shen Fatzi, doing business among the tribes in eastern Liaodong is by no means a skill that can be read by reading. Just talking about this insight of running around and traveling thousands of miles, I am afraid that many important ministers in the DPRK and China will never be compared.
