After the meeting, all the participants had a reunion dinner at the dock restaurant at noon, and everyone hurried home to reunite with their families.

The Zhao family compound in Zhaojiazhuang, Linjiang County, has long been let out and expanded into a white paper workshop, and Zhao Gongzi and his family simply moved to the headquarters of the Zhaojia Wharf Chamber of Commerce to live. It is more lively than Zhaojiazhuang, and there is more of a New Year's atmosphere during the New Year. In the evening, Zhao Chongyang had a party with Wang Dakuan, Qian Xiaobo and others who rushed back here a year ago, and Zhao Chongyang introduced Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Yang Zhi, and Shi Qian to Wang Dakuan and others. The wine just happened to be drunk to a tour, and suddenly the waiter came to report, saying that Fang Tianding, Fang Tianjie, Fang Tianjun, Fang Tianlin, Fang Tianbin and several other people rushed back from the north for the New Year, and stayed at the dock hotel tonight.

Zhao Chongyang heard that it was Fang Tianding them, and ordered: "Set up a few more tables, let the chef rearrange a few more dishes, and set up wine for a young hero who has returned to Jiangnan!" Then he took Wu Song, Shi Xiu, Yang Zhi, Shi Qian, Wang Dakuan, Qian Xiaobo and others to greet them, and went downstairs to call all the more than ten people to the hall where they gathered on the third floor. The five Eight Immortal Tables were arranged according to the long snake formation, everyone sat down in turn, regardless of age and status, the previous leftovers have been removed, the new dishes have not yet come up, everyone poured the wine, Zhao Chongyang introduced the two sides to each other, and after the introduction, everyone toasted to each other, even if they knew each other. Zhao Chongyang found that some of the young heroes who went to Jiangnan did not come back, and when he asked, he learned that there were twelve middle- and lower-level officers who remained in the temporary branch of the North to enrich the strength of the Northern Self-Defense Force. Then, Zhao Chongyang asked some more about the development of the northern branch, Fang Tianjun was eloquent, and everyone recommended him to Zhao Chongyang to introduce the development of the northern temporary branch.

After a while, the dish came out, and everyone drank and ate the food while talking about the situation after the farewell. According to Fang Tianjun: Since Wang Dakuan and they led the caravan to Yuejiazhuang in Tangyin County, due to the handwritten letter of Zhou Dong and Zhou Daxia, Wang Gui began to follow the requirements of Wang Dakuan and the technical personnel: on the one hand, arrange people to open up the wasteland to plant corn and sweet potatoes, and on the other hand, it is convenient to arrange people to expand the liquor making workshop to produce high-grade liquor and perfume, and at the same time expand the inns in the county seat and Xiangzhou City, and the chefs who went to Nanjing launched stir-fried and steamed dishes, so that the inn's business quickly became popular. Later, soap and soap were made, and people from nearby villages were also recruited to make paper and spin and weave cloth, and within half a year, Yuejiazhuang became the richest village in Tangyin County.

With the increase of Yuejiazhuang's fame, those who want to come to join the family, blackmail, and forcibly ask for money emerge in an endless stream, and all kinds of local heroes and families and all kinds of characters on the green forest road want to come and get involved. Fortunately, Zhou Dong and his cousin Zhou Daxing soon returned to Yuejiazhuang, with Zhou Dong's connections and prestige, most of the people on the green forest road were discouraged, but a very few were unwilling and went underground.

But those local heroes and families, with the support of the government, are always unwilling to watch Wang Gui make a fortune alone, and there are always troubles. Fortunately, as soon as Wang Dakuan and his family arrived in Yuejiazhuang, they set up a 300-person self-defense team with 100 bodyguards brought from Nanjing as the backbone to escort the big customers who came to buy goods. Because Wang Dakuan's crossbows, knives and armor left behind were all magic weapons for victory, those mountain bandits and family members who came to rob the road all left some corpses and fled in embarrassment.

The millennium brought back by Zhou Tong has cured his son's disability, and his son Zhou Qing is currently recovering. After Fang Tianding and his entourage arrived in Yuejiazhuang, the two Zhou masters taught them to practice martial arts diligently every day and trained the self-defense forces at the same time. However, the relationship between Yuejiazhuang and the nearby local Haoqiang is becoming more and more stiff, and whenever there is a dispute, the government always favors those other people while collecting Wang Gui's money. Therefore, Wang Gui always can't let go of his siblings and go all out to develop in Tangyin County......

Zhao Chongyang listened to Fang Junjie's words, and said in his heart: Wang Gui's father Wang Tianfu is only suitable for being an authentic businessman, and if he wants to be comfortable in a complex and changeable social environment with complicated affairs, it seems that it is not possible to stand alone. I can't get out of this side for the time being, and it seems that I have to send a capable person to take over the work over there, wielding a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, pulling and beating part of the local forces in order to gain a foothold in the local area......

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chongyang packed his luggage and prepared to leave for Huaixi tomorrow. At noon that day, he brought Wang Dakuan and Bai Xiaohe and his wife to prepare for them to go north to Tangyin County, with Bai Xiaohe officially serving as the president of the northern branch, and Wang Tianfu and Wang Dakuan serving as vice presidents. Bai Xiaohe is in charge of the overall work, Wang Tianfu is in charge of the business in Xiangzhou and nearby areas, Wang Dakuan is in charge of the Self-Defense Forces and is the head of the Northern Detachment, Zhou Dong and Zhou Xingda are in charge of training the Self-Defense Forces in their capacity as chief coaches of the Self-Defense Forces, and Zhou Dong is also responsible for training young backbones for the Self-Defense Forces. Zhao Chongyang handed over all the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that he had prepared for Zhou Dong last time to restore his strength, and asked him to hand them over to his master Zhou Dong, and find the divine doctor An Huichun (An Daoquan's father) to prepare an elixir for Zhou Qing to quickly restore his body functions. It is best to spend a high price, like hiring the Ling family father and son, and hire the An family father and son into the Chamber of Commerce. and wrote a letter to his master Zhou Tong, asking Zhou Tong to gather several powerful disciples Shi Wengong, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others around him, so that if there is something in the north, they can deal with it together. Lu Junyi's family is very wealthy, and he can hand over the business of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce in the Daimyo Mansion and nearby areas to his family. Lin Chong was destined to commit a villain, got out of the land of right and wrong as soon as possible, and was reluctantly ruined, and finally forced to Liangshan.

It's trust, but it's also a challenge. Regarding Zhao Chongyang's arrangement, Bai Xiaohe and Wang Dakuan readily agreed. Zhao Chongyang asked Wang Dakuan to go to the Jiangnan special training camp to select 50 people to accompany him, and then bring some soap, soap and glass products over, glass products of the same quality are more expensive than gold, so Zhao Chongyang only gave them a small amount of gold and silver to use on the road, and sold some water and jade products along the way, so they didn't have to worry about running out of money.

In fact, in Zhao Chongyang's original plan, Bai Xiaohe was going to be sent to Yangzhou this year, but now considering that the market in the entire north has basically not opened up, only good steel is used on the blade.

Yangzhou is located in the north and south of the water transport rush, its prosperity can be compared with the north of Kaifeng and the Daimyo, and the south of Nanjing and Suzhou and Hangzhou two states, but it is located in the middle of China, the south to the north of the Shang Jia than the Daimyo, Suzhou, Hangzhou more. Therefore, Zhao Chongyang has always wanted to build a trade city here that integrates wholesale, retail, leisure and accommodation, and entertainment. Now the Liu family has opened up the situation here, but if you want to become bigger and stronger here, you still need people with special means. However, now that the best candidates for development and management are sent elsewhere, the only way to find the right people is to find the right people. In the end, among the newly bought house slaves, a young woman with a great talent for business management was selected, she was Wan Hongzhu, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Suzhou who was destroyed by Zhu Mian's house, yes, it was the one who saved her father, wrote a complaint, and took the bloody handprints of the whole family, which aroused the sympathy of the people in the city, aroused the anger of the scholars in the city, and caused Zhao Chongyang to lead Wu Song and Shi Xiu to eliminate harm for the people, and remove Zhu Mian's filial piety in Suzhou. Through the understanding of the original slaves of the ten thousand families, this filial daughter is not only talented, but also a business genius, and has helped her father with some business since the age of thirteen. Zhao Chongyang also found that Shi Xiu's eyes lit up when he mentioned Wan Hongzhu, and he fell in love with this good-looking girl.

Therefore, Zhao Chongyang decided to send Shi Xiu to bring a company of the Naval Army Self-Defense Force and a company of the Army Self-Defense Force to protect Wan Hongzhu to work in Yangzhou, and of course bring some business and technical talents to the city.

Wang Dakuan went north, and the direct detachment leader was Nangong Tianxiong as the detachment leader, and Fang Tianding stayed here as the deputy detachment commander and the battalion commander of a land operation. Fang Tianjie and Fang Tianjun and Zhao Chongyang should be taken with them and focus on training.

Now, Zhao Chongyang has one thing to do, and he wants Wu Song to take Fang Tianjie and Fang Tianjun to complete, that is, to bring a lot of money to the Jieyangling area of Jiangzhou to find the Jianghu heroes who are particularly good at water kung fu, Li Jun and his brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng, as well as Zhang Heng and his brother Zhang Shun in the waves, of course, if you meet other heroes in the rivers and lakes such as Li Li, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Xue Yong and others are also invited, you want to organize a fleet to cross to Fusang, and it is obviously not possible to have people who are not proficient in water.
