Pressing Zhao Chongyang's words to fool Gao Yanei, let's go on to say that Zhao Chongyang is going to Cangzhou Mansion to visit Chai Jin to solve the problem of war horses. If Chai Jin is willing, and they have the ability to solve the transportation, they can also bring the liquor, cloth, paper, etc. of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce to the Liao State or even the Jin Kingdom to change hands, which is more profitable than their horse trafficking. Of course, in this way, the Wantong Chamber of Commerce has another trade route.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Chongyang first went to Cai Jing's mansion to give him two bottles of liquor in exquisite glass bottles, Cai Jing knew that the market price of wine per catty was less than ten yuan, which was nothing. But now this pair of finely made glass bottles is priceless, worth at least 100,000 yuan.

Cai Jing knew that Zhao Chongyang's generous gifts were not easy to receive, and he would have to give certain benefits if he received them. But for such a peerless boutique, it is already in the hand, and it is impossible to let go.

When Zhao Chongyang saw his expression, he wanted and was afraid that it was a hot potato. I felt secretly funny in my heart, so I comforted: "I came to see the Taishi today, mainly because I want the Taishi to postpone the time of Uncle Zhang's increase for more than a month, and only after I come back from going out will I let the officials write, so that I can take over his work smoothly and take over the administrative affairs of Kaifeng Mansion." There is nothing else to ask for that that makes the Taishi too difficult. Therefore, this pair of jade glass bottles can be accepted with confidence. ”

In this way, the old man was disrespectful. However, the old man did not ask for this heavy gift from you in vain. After another year, the old man will strive to get your actual position and rank together, so that you will become a veritable four-grade Kaifeng Mansion Yin. In addition, the old man also heard that you are not only good at literature, but also quite good at martial arts, and you are a disciple of the rumored martial god in the rivers and lakes. You also know that the civil officials of our Manchu Dynasty, except for Zong Ze and Li Gangzhibing, no one else has the talent to command the army. If you put some effort into studying the military book and war strategy, in the future, when there is a shortage of commanders such as the economic envoys, the town guard envoys, and the system envoys at the border gates, I will recommend you to the officials, so that you can sit in the Western Xia border like the old and small ones, and you will perform miraculous feats in three or five years. Cai Jing drew a big pie for Zhao Chongyang.

Zhao Chongyang hit the snake with the stick, and took the opportunity to say: "Actually, I really don't care if I don't have this mansion Yin, but I am more interested in the one you said about going to any local magistrate at the border pass to manage the army, and getting off the horse to manage the people." If I command more than 50,000 Western troops, I can destroy the Western Xia in three to five years. However, there must be one condition, I only accept the dispatch and moderation of the Taiwei, and cannot accept the moderation of Tong Shumi. Tong Shumi neither knows the soldiers nor gives up power, if I lead the troops to the Xingqing Mansion in the Western Xia, if he says that the official family, if I destroy the Western Xia, people are so young, and they have made such great contributions, I am afraid that in the future, I will not be able to seal it, and the merit will be high, and I will be forcibly recalled, do you say I listen or not? If it is handed over to Taiwei for direct control, with you and Taiwei in the court, it will be said that Tong Shumi has no supervisor, and if he does not know the inside story, the official family will not fully believe Tong Guan, as long as there is a dispute in the court, it will drag on for ten and a half months more, and maybe Xixia will be dead by then. ”

Cai Jing said: "It should be possible to change the moderation of Gao Taiwei, and there will really be a day when my untalented son-in-law will be brought along by the way, so that he can follow the irrelevant idle errands, and if he can get some credit back, my Gao family will naturally be willing to take care of it for you." ”

Zhao Chongyang smiled: "Good calculation! At that time, will the Taishi also send a nephew to accompany the army to counsel military affairs, and will also get some military merits for the Cai family? But it doesn't matter, Taishi is a Yang Mou, and everything will be negotiable at that time. ”

After Zhao Chongyang finished speaking, the two laughed at the same time.

Both of them were very satisfied with this conversation. Zhao Chongyang said goodbye from Cai's mansion, went back to have lunch, and then went to Uncle Zhang's night house to visit, the two are not only superiors and subordinates, but also good friends who have forgotten the year, plus Zhao Chongyang is ready to receive oil, salt and rice on the house, including iron stoves, anthracite or coke for heating in winter, all of which are sent by the Wantong Chamber of Commerce on time. Therefore, when the subordinates heard that Zhao Zhuangyuan was coming, they did not inform them in advance, and took them directly to the study to see Uncle Zhang who was reading.

Uncle Zhang saw that Zhao Chongyang was coming, just like he did with his own nephew, he pointed to the seat opposite and said, "You kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say what kind of bad intentions do you have this time?" ”

"How dare I have any bad intentions in front of you, I am here to tell you the good news, you may be promoted from the third rank or the third rank of the servant. In addition, I have to delay more than a month when I go out tomorrow, and the daily work is handled by Wang Lao and Zhu Wu, and the case is handled by Lin Chong, Pang Wanchun, Shi Qian and others, which will not affect the general normal affairs and work, but when I encounter a difficult case, I have to ask you to personally explore the doubts. Zhao Chongyang said with a grin.

Uncle Zhang said: "Okay, I don't bother to ask you anything, you go and come back quickly." I guess when you come back, you will be able to accept my affairs in full, and I will have to report to a new position.? ”

Zhao Chongyang nodded and said goodbye. After Zhao Chongyang left, Zhang Shuye found that Zhao Chongyang left a small burden under the chair just now, Zhang Shuye opened it and saw that there was a note on his face, and there was a message from Zhao Chongyang on the note: "Wendao Lord's hometown is in drought, and now nine out of ten households in the people's homes there are out of cooking, so I ordered the Wantong Chamber of Commerce to transport 50,000 stone of grain to Guixian County in batches to help the victims." Although the Zhang family is a famous family in the county, most of the people of the clan make a living by farming and studying, and the family has no surplus grain. In the past few days, he has sent people into Beijing to ask for help from adults, wanting to have a clean breeze on his sleeves, but he is afraid that he will have more than enough heart and not enough strength. This is a 50,000 taels of silver tickets, which can help thousands of adults and clansmen to reset their homes and tide over the difficulties. This is not to bribe the adults, but to let the adults use the money to save the people. Reading this, Uncle Zhang's eyes were wet: "God really has eyes, send such a young man who helps the poor and understands the poor to do things under him." In order to let these more than 1,000 clansmen tide over the difficulties, this time the old man will take your love. In the future, on the premise of not violating my bottom line, when the old man can speak for you in the court, he will try his best to say a few good words for you. ”

Early in the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Chongyang took Wu Song, who had returned after being ordered in advance, and Lu Junyi, who came from the Daimyo's Mansion, as well as Qiu Hu and Yan Qing with two hundred special training team members, and drove two hundred carriages full of various goods to Cangzhou City. The goods are contacted by the monopoly merchants, and the wholesale is given to several merchants who have paid the monopoly fee. According to the news of the return of the beggar gang, the actual boss behind two of them is Chai Jin. In early spring, the weather in the north was still a little cold, and the soldiers who drove the car were wearing thick cotton jackets and cotton trousers, and their feet were full of custom-made leather combat boots with wool pads inside. Several of the main generals did not want to sit in the carriage, and all rode forward. Only Zhao Chongyang took Pang Qiuxia and Fang Baihua, two jade figures, to sit in the carriage, and there was a small coke stove inside, and the red charcoal fire was burning in the furnace. The roof of the carriage is lifted slightly back to keep the air flowing inside the carriage. The three of them sat in the carriage, eating roasted sweet potatoes or dry food when they were hungry, drinking tea, sometimes playing chess, sometimes playing paper, sometimes walking down when the road was good, so that they could enjoy the snow scene in the middle of the mountain, and their hearts were very happy......
