Since the age of three slowly began to recover the memories of later generations, Zhao Chongyang and Zhao Benchuan knew that there was not much time left for them. In another ten years, Wanyan Aguta will send Wanyan Xiyin and others to the Central Plains to lobby and join the Song Dynasty to destroy Liao. Cai Jing and the others only know that they know what military affairs they know about every young man, and they will inevitably still be like in the history of another time and space, and they will say to Zhao Ji, the person who died in the country: Liao is a feud of the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be eliminated by the hands of the Jin people. Unbeknownst to them, a few toothless tigers were removed, and a group of more ferocious jackals were ushered in, burying the splendid country and putting hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains in dire straits.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Chongyang secretly vowed: Since I have worn this time and space, I must not let the tragedy happen again. No, even if it is to raise the banner to rebel and overthrow the decadent and declining Great Song Dynasty, it will not hesitate.

Therefore, he studied literature during the day, and practiced martial arts at night with the head of the nursing home at home. The head of the nursing home is surnamed Zhou Daxing, who is over 50 years old this year. He is the cousin of Zhou Dong Zhou Daxia, a famous martial artist known as the world's first master, because he likes to practice fists and feet and guns since he was a child, and has been guided by his cousin Zhou Dong, his martial arts are naturally good, and he can be regarded as a famous figure in the rivers and lakes. When he was young, he worked as a junior colonel in the old breed of Yan'an Mansion for a few years, and as a dart master in middle age. Five years ago, he was injured in a duel with the enemy, and on the way back to Nanjing for medical treatment, he lost too much blood and fell near Zhaojiazhuang. After being learned by the owner of Zhao Zhuang, he was carried home and asked the doctor to revive him, and his body recovered after three months.

Before Zhou Daxing was fifteen years old, his parents died. At the age of 15, he began to go out. Most of the front body is in the rivers and lakes, there is no fixed place, and there is no family. Now that he has entered his old age, he is tired of the days of fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, and now that the enemy is dead, he wants to find a place to spend the rest of his life. Seeing that Zhao Wuji's family was honest, kind to others, and their own life-saving thoughts, they invited themselves to be slaves and take care of Zhao Chongyang's home.

Lord Zhao Zhuang knew that he was a famous righteous man in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally would not treat him as a person, so he treated him as a brother. It's just that in front of the owner and his wife, he always calls himself an old slave.

Zhao Chongyang knew the trend of another time and space history, and knew that in a few years, Fang La would start an incident in the south of the Yangtze River, and the entire south would be impacted at that time. At that time, Zhaojiazhuang must have the ability to protect itself, and the population of a village will not be killed by the rebels. Therefore, he suggested that his father first select dozens of strong domestic slaves, follow Master Zhou to practice bows, arrows and guns, and when encountering troubled times, he used these domestic slaves as the backbone to select two or three hundred young adults among the villagers to form a village protection team. Therefore, after the age of five, he began to practice martial arts with Zhou Daxing at night and began to call Zhou Daxing his master.

……

More than ten miles southwest of Zhaojiazhuang, there is a village called Liujia Village, which is the location of Zhao Chongyang's grandfather's house. His grandfather has passed away, and now the Liu family is in charge of his second grandfather.

He has an uncle named Liu Yuhua, who is the younger brother of his mother's Liu Yuzhen, and has two boys and a daughter, and his daughter Liu Qiaoyun is 15 years old this year. Among the sons, the elder brother Liu Jinbang is 12 years old, and the younger brother Liu Jinkui is more than a year older than Zhao Chongyang, and he is now 9 years old.

The Liu family is also a big family in Liujia Village, although it is not as rich as Zhao Chongyang's family, but it also has business dealings with some businessmen in Nanjing.

There is a family in Nanjing surnamed Liang, whose ancestors were prefects. The current head of the family is called Liang Zipei, and Gu is said to be Liang Zhongshu's brother. Liang Zhongshu He Xu is also the son-in-law of Cai Jing, the minister of the imperial court, and the prefect of the Hebei Daimyo's Mansion.

Since climbing the line of Liang Zhongshu, he spent tens of thousands of dollars, and Liang Zipei, who was on standby at home, became the magistrate of a county in the north under the recommendation of Liang Zhongshu. Due to the cold in the north, Liang Zipei only brought two concubines to take office, and his wife and children stayed in Nanjing. Although the Liang family claims to be a scholarly family, in fact, they also run a shop in Nanjing to do business, and they happen to have some business dealings with Liu Yuhua's family.

Liu Yuhua's ancestors were born in a craftsman family, and opened blacksmith shops in both Nanjing and the county, mainly selling ironware. The production of ironware is mainly done in the village. A few years ago, the Liu family not only sold ironware, but also opened an iron-making furnace in the village, but because there was no good charcoal and master, there were too many impurities in the iron, and the ironware produced was easy to break and rust. Because the quality of the iron tools produced was too poor, it affected the business, and after refining a few times, he gave up. Iron furnaces and unused ore are still there today.

The Liu family has good genes and produces beautiful women from generation to generation. When Zhao Chongyang's mother was young, she was notoriously beautiful. And Liu Qiaoyun, like her aunt, has exquisite facial features, and when she was 15 years old, she was also slim, like a spring bud.

Although Liang Zipei's eldest son is only 17 years old this year and is not good at school, he is a veteran prostitute. Since the age of 14, he has been messing around in Fengyue with his parents behind his back, and he is a typical playboy. In this era, according to his age, he should marry a wife and have children, but he thinks that marrying a lady has more constraints and fetters, so he can't be high, and he can't be low.

This time, I followed the housekeeper to Liu's house to talk about pen business, and I accidentally met Liu Qiaoyun, and I was shocked, and I wanted to get it home to be a housekeeper. After returning home, let her mother find a matchmaker to propose. When his wife asked, it was the daughter of a craftsman, and she thought that the Liu family's door was a little low. But he couldn't stand his madness, which made the family restless, so he had to invite Li Yuanqing, the artisan supervisor of the city's master household, to be the matchmaker and go to Liu's house to propose marriage.

Although the Liu family's base camp is in Liujia Village, they also have some rumors about the affairs of Liang Dagongzi in Nanjing City, and they know that his reputation is not good. Therefore, in the spring of this year, when Li Jiangjian came to propose marriage for the eldest son of Liang, although the Liu family did not refuse, they did not immediately agree. It is said that she has found someone to tell her daughter's fortune, and she should not be engaged before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, otherwise she may be widowed. The so-called widow means that the woman has not passed the door, and the husband dies.

For this kind of thing, it is generally better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist. Li Yuanqing told Liu Yuhua: "Since this is the case, please accept the dowry first, and wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival before officially recruiting." ”

As the saying goes, county officials are better than current management. Although this craftsman is only a small craftsman household, the fixed equipment that the craftsman hands over to the imperial court every year must be accepted by him. If you offend him, say that your products are not up to standard, report to the relevant departments, and deprive you of your craftsman qualifications, your iron shop will only be closed, just like the revocation of your business license in the future.

Because, in the Great Song Dynasty, copper and iron were strictly controlled materials, and private individuals without craftsman qualifications were not allowed to deal in iron tools. Therefore, although the door of the craftsman is not high, because of the monopoly privilege, as long as you complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, you can earn money to support your family with iron tools, and it is certain that you will make a small fortune. In this way, the imperial court also reduced the cost of raising a large number of artisan households.

Looking back, although the Liu family temporarily stabilized Liang Gongzi, it was not a long-term solution. Let the shopkeepers of the Liu family's shops in Nanjing send people to inquire about the situation of Liang Gongzi, if it is just some small problems, he will reluctantly agree to this family business, if it is really incorrigible, he will find a way to push off this family business, and he can't let his only baby daughter fall into the fire pit.

Who knows, I don't know, I don't know, I was shocked when I inquired. Liang Dagongzi not only prostitutes, but also gambles. Not long ago, he lost 1,200 taels of silver overnight. During this period of time, he got acquainted with Tong Yanei, the only son of the Tong Governor's Mansion, and the two hit it off. Fighting cocks and lackeys, running horses on the street, robbing people's girls on the street, doing all kinds of evil. When he was strolling on the street, when he saw someone's things good, he picked them up and went to please Tong Yanei, and never gave money. The people of the city are afraid of it like snakes and scorpions.

Therefore, for the sake of the happiness of their daughter's life, the Liu family decided to push off this family business. But after thinking about it, several months have passed, and I have never come up with a safe solution. Anyway, you can't directly say that you don't agree, otherwise not only Li Yuanqing won't be able to pass the pass, but Tong Yanei will be even more uncomfortable. Now that Liang Gongzi is in Tong Yanei, he must have no fear, say something unpleasant, handle it improperly, and it is possible to directly bring people to Liujia Village to rob relatives. Liu Qiaoyun reminded: "Although my aunt's little cousin is young, he is known as a prodigy and resourceful, so why not ask him to come up with an idea, and by the way, let my uncle and aunt know a thing or two." ”

The family really couldn't think of an idea, so they agreed to their daughter's proposal, and the couple took their daughter to Zhaojiazhuang that afternoon.
