Mao Yuanyi stayed in Xintun for a few days, and then returned to Jinzhou City with Qi Dazhuang and others.

Yang Chengying saw them off.

"What's in there?"

Accepting the gift from Yang Chengying, Mao Yuanyi did not open it immediately.

"Just look at it." Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Mao Yuanyi opened the cloth wrapped outside, and the items inside turned out to be soap and mosquito coils.

"There's not enough production, so there's only so much to give you."

Yang Chengying smiled: "I hope you don't mind." ”

Mao Yuanyi solemnly wrapped it and thanked: "The general is affectionate and friendly, and his subordinates are grateful." The parting is imminent, and the subordinates have one more thing to tell you. ”

"Please."

"Fang Xun is nominally supervising Jinzhou, and the general should not be too alienated from him, and even treat him like General Luo.

The mystery is not difficult to see with the talent of a general. ”

"I made a note of it."

"Farewell."

Mao Yuanyi and Qi Dazhuang greeted the people who saw them off, got on their horses and left.

Yang Chengying waved his hand and bid them farewell.

At this time, he was pondering the deep meaning of Mao Yuanyi's words in his heart.

Yang Chengying said goodbye here, but Tian Chonggui ushered in a distinguished guest.

"Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for many days, which makes Brother Fool miss you very much."

Tian Chonggui cordially took a middle-aged man's hand and entered the main hall.

The man smiled: "After a long absence, look at Brother Tian's complexion, it is getting better and better." ”

"I've won awards, I'm over half a hundred years old, and my complexion will only get worse day by day, how can there be a reason to get better and better."

Tian Chonggui greeted each other while inviting the other party to take a seat.

The maid served tea.

The man took a sip and said bluntly: "The tea that Brother Tian drinks is still slightly inferior to Jiangnan. ”

Tian Chonggui said half-jokingly: "How can the poor countryside be compared with the prosperous Jiangnan, Brother Shen, you have been raising your mouth in Jiangnan during this time. ”

"Oh? Hahaha...... Jokes, jokes. The man rubbed his beard and laughed.

Tian Chonggui also laughed.

After the pleasantries, we got to the point.

The man asked, "I don't know how Brother Tian prepared the supplies I need?" ”

"I've already prepared what you want. Just wait for you to pass the eyes, you can be shipped to Port Arthur for loading. Tian Chonggui replied.

"Oh." The man looked left and right, "Why don't you see Ling Qianjin?" ”

"She was not in Jinzhou City, she went to Xintun in the north."

"Xintun? I've never heard of this place. ”

"It is a big city that Yang Chengying is building in the north, and it is still in the construction stage."

"Oh, hehe...... Congratulations to Brother Tian. ”

That person was obviously mistaken, thinking that Tian E went to Xintun to accompany Yang Chengying.

Tian Chonggui listened and almost choked on the tea.

While wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he explained: "She went to Xintun, but it was not what you thought. She was teaching girls to read and write. ”

"Huh?" The man was taken aback.

A woman's lack of talent is virtue, how can there be a reason to teach girls to read.

Tian Chonggui said with a smile: "Not only girls, but boys also have to study."

According to his daughter's letter, Yang Chengying invited a few teachers to teach literacy classes to those soldiers. ”

"This is unheard of, those old Qiu Ba are also worthy of literacy."

The man smirked.

"Who's to say it isn't." Tian Chonggui sighed and said, "However, now that this Golden State is his world, he says one, and no one dares to say two." ”

Hearing this, the man's eyes rolled and a hint of cunning flashed.

"On the way here, I heard about it."

The man said: "It is said that the imperial court sent a brocade guard to arrest him, but he was stewed by him instead. ”

"It's not a legend, it's a real thing."

Tian Chonggui told that person in detail about Yang Chengying's handling of Cui Yingyuan and Xu Xianchun in Port Arthur.

"In this way, no one in Golden State can control him now." The man asked.

"Can you handle it?" Tian Chonggui smiled and shook his head, "The imperial court wants to entrap him and use him to deal with slave soldiers." ”

"The dignitaries in the capital admit defeat so easily? The omnipotent Father-in-law Wei also has nothing to do with him? ”

The man thought it was incredible.

"The emperor is far away, and he has grasped the trade route to the Chaoxian and Wa kingdoms, how many means can the imperial court have to deal with him?"

"It seems that we should also change our strategy, not engage in soft confrontation, but turn to cooperation."

"That's why I let my daughter go to Xintun. The girls she taught are very likely to become the main family of the younger generation of generals in the future, which is an intangible wealth. ”

"High, really high."

The man gave a thumbs up.

Tian Chonggui waved his hand awkwardly, looking embarrassed.

Back then, he was the most active opponent of Yang Chengying, and even did not hesitate to abandon his family and business and went to the north to ask the governor of Liaodong.

For more than a year, Yang Chengying has grown and grown, and the yamen of Liaodong Governor has moved to Guangning.

Reality forced them to choose to change their strategy, some chose to soft confrontation, and some chose to leave.

Only Tian Chonggui, who was the most active at that time, chose to cooperate.

mentioned Tian E, which reminded Tian Chonggui of one thing.

He asked the other party to wait, got up and went to the back hall.

After a few moments, he returned to the main hall with an extra bag of things in his hand.

"This is ......," the man looked curious.

Tian Chonggui put the things on the table, opened the cloth wrapped on it, and introduced: "This is something that Yang Chengying took people to develop, called soap." ”

A pale yellow cube-shaped object the size of a matchbox appeared in front of the man's eyes.

The man observed for a few seconds, picked it up, looked at the sunlight outside, found it opaque, and sniffed it on the side of his nose, and there was a faint fragrance.

"This is, bathing thing, right?"

The man had seen it in a wealthy family in Jiangnan, "You can make a lot of money!" ”

Tian Chonggui smiled: "It's worthless. ”

"What?"

"Free for the people. My daughter also got a copy and asked someone to send it to me. ”

"It's not easy to make soap, and it's not easy to get materials, so it's free to distribute."

"It's that amazing."

Tian Chonggui smiled bitterly.

The man was the most business-minded, and he immediately thought of something.

"We can buy it in large quantities and then ship it to Jiangnan, even if it is not Jiangnan, we have to send it to the capital, and we can make a lot of money."

"Don't think about it."

Tian Chonggui shook his head and said, "Unlike last time, because the soap materials are more expensive, after distribution. Anyone who gets soap is tested. ”

The man shouted, "Check? The tube is so wide. ”

"My daughter told me that what Yang Chengying meant was that every household must be cleaned to reduce the spread of diseases."

"We don't have to charge more, ask each of them for a little bit, and we can make money by re-casting."

Tian Chonggui listened, but still shook his head: "This time is different from the past, Yang Chengying is already as dazzling as the sun in the eyes of the people of Jinzhou, and he can no longer obtain it as easily as he did when he bought charcoal." ”

The man's eyes rolled again, and he counted on his mind.

"In that case, why didn't Brother Tian let Ling Qianjin take the opportunity to get close to him, and then marry Qin and Jin?"

The words were very tactful, and Tian Chonggui could hear it.

"Yang Chengying has strong self-control, my daughter said, when she saw a beautiful woman, that kid's eyes were shining.

But he refused to even accept a beauty like Xue Niang in the room, and hugged the dead girl of Tian Rong's family every day. ”

Tian Chonggui sneered.

The man heard hope, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
