"Rock sugar gourd ~ tofu flower ~"

In the early morning, the sound of hawking is loud or small.

It was in Zhangjiakou, a famous horse market in the Ming Dynasty.

People dressed in various colors walk through the streets and alleys.

One team stands out in particular.

They claimed to be horse merchants from outside Cyprus, and the common people with a little discerning shook their heads in disbelief.

I had never seen the horse merchants walk, and all of them had their backs straight, and their eyes were very vigilant.

It was followed by a carriage, and people speculated that it was loaded with weapons.

Yes, it's that unsociable.

Yang Chengying's heart was broken.

Before leaving, let them pretend to be lazy and ruffian one by one.

As a result, Yang Chengying looked back and saw that the guards had walked in two straight lines.

Apart from sighing, Yang Chengying had nothing to say.

The group arrived at Fan Yongdou's compound.

"Ho, that's magnificent!" Duoduo's eyes lit up.

Except for the feudal hierarchy, the steps are not high, and the others are very magnificent.

In particular, the two stone lions in front of the door can be seen at a glance to see the exquisite workmanship.

There is no need to call the door, Fan Yongdou led the whole family to wait for a long time.

Seeing Yang Chengying coming, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Slave Fan Yongdou to meet his master." ”

"Don't call me that, it's not like you're used to it."

Yang Chengying patted him on the shoulder and walked straight inside.

Fan Yongdou hurriedly followed, "If it weren't for the master giving the slave a bowl of rice to eat, how could the slave have today's scenery." ”

"It's your hard-earned money, I'm just providing security so you can get your stuff there."

Yang Chengying said: "But you are quite capable, and you actually made a big town north of Zhangjiakou. ”

"Thanks to General Li's support, let the minions wait to build inns and restaurants in Zhangbei, and send soldiers to station them to protect the safety of the minions."

Fan Yongdou sneered.

There is a famous place north of Zhangjiakou called Yehuling.

The Ming Dynasty built the Great Wall on Yehuling, which together with Shangzhuang Fort, Shanfang Fort, Zhangjiakou Fort, etc., constituted the northern defense line.

This side wall separated the Ming Dynasty from the outside into two worlds, and it was not until Yang Chengying passed through the north that it changed.

Li Guoying, out of the needs of army supplies and post stations, after consulting with Abatai, set up a town in a place called Xinghe north of Zhangjiakou.

Because it is in the north of Zhangjiakou, it is called Zhangbei Town.

Fierce as a tiger led a part of the soldiers stationed here.

Because of the presence of the Liaodong Army, both the Mongols and the Han felt at ease.

Many people fled to Zhangbei Town to reclaim wasteland and pay taxes.

The Mongols sold horses and lived here.

Gradually, the town grew in size.

Two-thirds of them were opened by the Chamber of Commerce headed by Fan Yongdou, and after paying taxes, they still made a lot of money.

"Are you ready where I want to be?" Yang Chengying asked.

"The master sent someone to inform him in advance, how dare the slave slack off."

Fan Yongdou said: "The servants have vacated the entire east courtyard of the mansion for the master and you to live in, and the maids and servants have served the servants for many years, and they are loyal and reliable. ”

"You're really thoughtful."

Hearing this, Yang Chengying couldn't help but boast that Fan Yongdou would do things.

When I came to the main hall of the East Courtyard, I saw that it was really magnificent.

On the plaque, there are four big characters of "Rijin Doujin", with gold characters on a red background, which is not publicized.

Underneath the plaque is a couplet:

Spring, autumn, winter and summer goods are always available, attracting people from the north and the south.

It's kind of interesting.

Yang Chengying sat down on the main seat, and Fan Yongdou personally served tea.

"I'm so swaggering this time, aren't you afraid of causing you to be killed?"

Yang Chengying took the tea and took a sip.

"Slaves can have today, and it is all because of the master's support."

Fan Yongdou replied very well-behaved: "Besides, if you ask casually in the market, you will know that the master is the big backer of the slave." ”

"Okay, I'll bother you for a few days." Yang Chengying said.

Yang Chengying came this time for a purpose, and he believed that if he was so ostentatious, that person would definitely know.

Sure enough, a young man defeated by ordinary people quickly entered the yamen.

The official in the Yamen was none other than Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda.

Lu Xiangsheng's Governor's Mansion was not originally here, he just inspected Zhangjiakou.

Of course, Yang Chengying came precisely because he knew about it.

"Are you sure?"

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard what his subordinates had seen and heard.

"My subordinates can be sure that those people are not horse dealers at all."

The young subordinate said: "Du Tang think about it, whose horse merchant is with forty or fifty small servants, and the little servants are all with their backs and straight backs.

In the entire Xuanda, only the Liaodong Army in the north has this faction. ”

"If it's as you say, then ...... It's just him! ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and then ordered his subordinates to bring a set of civilian clothes, and he wanted to go out to meet guests.

"Dutang, do you want to see them alone? It's not right, if they don't come well, the capital will be in danger. ”

The subordinates hurriedly persuaded.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "If he comes, I can't help but see it in person, and meet the big man who is powerful in the north." So saying, the maids came with their civilian clothes.

The subordinates were not persuaded again, so they had to retreat.

Lu Xiangsheng changed his clothes, took a small servant, rode out on horseback, and went straight to Fan's mansion.

When he set off, Yang Chengying was playing chess with Duoduo by the pavilion in the lotus pond.

The two played Go.

Duoduo held the sunspot, and was beaten by Yang Chengying's white son and lost his armor.

"Go is really boring, it's still fun to play chess."

Duoduo shouted: "Arch pawns, vault horses, and kill generals to win the commander, that's interesting." ”

Yang Chengying was holding the white seed between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and was about to fall, when he heard this, he looked up at Duoduo:

"You are disgusted that I was not decisive enough in my conquest of the Sauron Ministry, and directly besieged the city, instead of expelling Bomu Bogol, this way is easy to mess up."

"The king is so smart!" Duoduo laughed.

"The purpose of war is not to destroy the enemy, but to perpetuate politics."

Yang Chengying said: "To put it bluntly, I don't want to destroy Bomu Bogol, but to let other tribes see our strength.

Unless he wants to hide in the deep mountains and forests of the Lena River and be the companion of the Rakshasa Kingdom. ”

After that, the white son fell.

Duoduo suddenly realized: "No wonder the three sweaty farts came to meet him, it turned out that they were frightened by your soldiers. ”

He thought of something and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do if Bomu Bogol is not caught?" ”

"It's okay to catch it next time." Yang Chengying said with a smile, "Why do you just give the governor of Liaobei Province a little work?" ”

"It's time to give him something to do!" Duoduo strongly supported it.

During the Battle of Liaoyang, Duoduo felt that he had been tricked by Zilharang, and he was angry in his heart.

Hearing that Yang Chengying asked Ji'er Harang to go to the Northeast to endure hardships, Duoduo was very relieved.

At this time, Fan Yongdou came in a hurry.

Fan Yongdou looked a little flustered: "Master, Governor Lu is here." ”

Yang Chengying put the white son back in the urn and instructed: "You invite Governor Lu to the living room for tea, and I will arrive later." ”

Fan Yongdou answered "yes", turned around and left in a hurry.
