It can be said that Han Derang is already a powerful 'regent' who is enough to stand side by side with Yelu Hugo. is such a character who can set off waves by stomping his feet in Liao. actually invited Yang Peng, a businessman from an unknown source, to dinner. Shen Peng saw Yang Peng looking at him with strange eyes, so he explained with a smile: "City Lord, don't look at the old servant like this, the one who really invited you to dinner naturally couldn't be Han Derang." In fact, the one who really invited you to dinner was the second son of the Han Mansion. He was just pretending to be in the name of Han Derang. ”

Yang Peng raised his eyebrows and said, "The second son of the Han Mansion, can there be a way for me to see my fourth brother?" Shen Peng coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "The old servant heard that Xiao Zhuo, the empress dowager of the Liao Kingdom, has an unusual relationship with Han Derang. Therefore, the relationship between several princesses of the Liao royal family and the two sons of the Han Mansion is also relatively close.

It is said that Xiao Zhuo, the empress dowager of Liao, has agreed to marry the eldest princess of Jinguo, the eldest princess under her knees, to Han Derang's eldest son. In short, the relationship between the Han family and the royal family is very close. If the second son of the Han Mansion is willing to help, it will not be difficult for you to see the fourth young master. Yang Peng waved the invitation card in his hand and chuckled: "So, this second son of the Han Mansion, do I have to see it?" ”

"Yes." Shen Peng smiled implicitly. Yang Peng asked with a smile: "You bothered to promote the Han family so much, I don't believe you have any plans in this...... The smile on Shen Peng's face stiffened, and he said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it, our money is good, although we have a relationship with the descendants of the Xiao family, it is not reliable." If we can get in touch with the Han family, then our business in the south will be as stable as Mount Tai in Liao.

The old servant is not a plot, but I just hope that the city lord can help us by the way. ”

"You, you!" Yang Peng pointed at Shen Peng with a smile, then threw the invitation card in his hand to Shen Peng, and scolded: "Go and prepare." When Shen Peng heard this, he said ecstatically: "The old servant will go and prepare." Yang Peng can understand Shen Peng, and at the same time, he also knows that there is moisture in Shen Peng's words. He didn't believe that Qian Xing and the Han family had no relationship, if he didn't have a relationship, why did the second son of the Han family invite him to dinner?

It can only be shown that the current contact between Nanguo Qian Bank and the Han family is still at the weakest level of the surface, and it is not reliable and stable. Even, Shen Peng didn't talk to anyone with the real status of the Han family at all. Aristocrats are always the group of people who hold their own identities the most, and they always try their best to isolate them from ordinary people, and even set up a huge and insurmountable gap between the two through various means to set off their identity.

The Han family finally got mixed into the aristocratic circle at the top of the Liao Kingdom, so they naturally held their own identities more. Therefore, in the eyes of the Han family's real status, perhaps only the proprietor of the Nanguo Money Bank is barely qualified to talk to them. After Shen Peng got Yang Peng's consent, he quickly contacted the people of the Han Mansion, and the two sides jointly agreed on the event of going to the banquet.

In fact, it was basically the people of the Han Mansion who set the time, and Shen Peng had no room to refuse at all, but patiently acted as a mouthpiece. The agreed time was two days later in the evening. Shen Peng specially prepared a dress for Yang Peng that looked full of luxury, but Yang Peng refused.

Yang Peng simply put on a snow-white robe, tied a jade crown with hair tied on his head, held an ivory bone fan in his hand, and put on a bearskin coat, daring to go to the banquet.

The place to go to the banquet is in the Fan Tower. Fan Tower in the capital. Compared with the Fan Tower in Bianjing City, the Fan Tower in Shangjing City is more exotic. Although the construction and decoration of the restaurant are imitations of the Fan Tower of Bianjing City, compared with the Fan Tower of Bianjing City, which is full of bookish atmosphere, the Fan Tower of Shangjing City is full of copper smell.

There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no scene of white ding, which cannot be seen in the Fan Tower in Shangjing. As soon as I entered the Fan Tower in Shangjing, I saw more of the noble children of the Liao Kingdom, leading vicious dogs and driving eagles, fighting each other. It seems that the victory or defeat of the two dogs is far more compelling than a moral essay.

Occasionally, there are also some nondescript scholars dressed up in it. But the obscene words in their mouths are simply unbearable. A few things that were criticized as vulgar texts in the Great Song Dynasty seem to be more popular among them.

Suddenly, the man was in the dim light...... Do you know under what circumstances Yang Pengren's poem was made? "Under what circumstances?" "Hey, hey, hey...... You imagine that when you turn around and see a woman in a place where the lights are flickering, tell me what this woman is doing......"

"...... in Sichun", "Voyeur man......", "...... in the bath", "......"

When Yang Peng heard that his plagiarized poems were explained like this, his face was terrifying. I can't wait to turn around and leave. However, as soon as he turned around, after meeting Shen Peng's pitiful eyes, he could only sigh and step into the Fan Tower in Shangjing. As soon as Yang Peng entered the door, the noisy Fan Building was much cleaner. Yang Peng's dress and temperament all show that he is a pure reader.

In this upper capital, there are not many pure readers. After most of the scholars entered Beijing, they changed their ways and dressed up as Liao. They seem to want to use this method to win the favor of the nobles of the Liao State, so that they can seek a half-official position. There were also some hard-boned scholars, among whom they were handsome, and they were all snatched into the mansion by the fierce women of the Liao State. The other part was made up of the noble Liao nobles and became staff members in the mansion with a strong income.

In short, the Liao people seem to be full of infinite desire to conquer the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, and they do not distinguish between men and women. It seems that the Fan Tower in the capital is a place where scholars stay, but in fact, there are not many real scholars. Suddenly, a handsome, pure reader appeared. All of a sudden, it was like Tang Seng entering the daughter country, which was eye-catching.

As Yang Peng entered the Fan Tower in Shangjing City, the noisy voice of the Liao people in the Fan Tower subconsciously became a lot lower. Many people watched Yang Peng whisper. Among them, there are some women who accompany their brothers out to play, and they do not hide the possessiveness in their eyes. Yang Peng was like a piece of fat, and suddenly appeared in front of a group of vicious wolves.

"Look at what, the people invited by our Han Mansion are also available for you to peep at will." A woman dressed in white suddenly appeared at the staircase leading to the second floor of Fan Tower, and reprimanded the Liao people on the first floor with a cold face. Among those Liao people, there were obviously people who felt fear.

But there are also people who are full of hearts, with their heads bowed and their faces full of resentment. In short, none of the Liao people present dared to face the might of the Han family. It can be seen that the Han family's status in the Liao State is as high as the sky. The woman in white reprimanded the Liao people present, and bowed to Yang Peng, "But the young man of Qianxing." ”

Yang Peng returned the salute, "Exactly." The woman in white made a gesture of please, "Yi Gongzi upstairs, please, my son-in-law has been waiting for a long time." Yang Peng was also polite, and accompanied by Shen Peng, he followed the woman in white all the way to the second floor. After the second floor, the woman in white did not stop, but continued to go upstairs with Yang Peng.

All the way up to the top floor of the fourth floor. The top floor of the fourth floor is not large, but the layout is very exquisite, and it is full of elegant atmosphere. The entire fourth floor, with no private rooms and no separate tables, looks more like a one-person study. Directly south of the fourth floor was an open window, and a man in Tsing Yi sat cross-legged in front of the window, lighting a brazier in front of him, and the fire in the brazier was burning.

Beside the man in Tsing Yi, there is a low table, on which a small red clay stove is boiling hot water. Yang Peng caught a glimpse of a pillar embedded in the center of the entire fourth floor, and was slightly stunned. Immediately, under the leadership of the woman in white, he came to the man in Tsing Yi.

"Childe, the guest has arrived." The woman in white saluted beside the man in green and whispered. The man in Tsing Yi stood up, flicked his sleeves slightly, and bowed to Yang Peng, "Contemptible Han Qing." Yang Peng returned the salute, "Ryukyu is easy." ”

It's just a pseudonym, as long as Yang Peng doesn't reveal his identity, what name he uses is secondary. The two of them were looking at each other while saluting each other, and Han Qing gave Yang Peng the feeling that he was facing a scholar in Bianjing City.

Gentle and elegant, with the temperament of a son, even if he has a prominent background, he can't see any arrogance on his body. In Han Qingqing's eyes, Yang Peng, the proprietor of the Ryukyu money company, does not have the copper smell he imagined, let alone a big belly, but a scholar who is neither humble nor arrogant, and has a proud backbone.

At least, among the scholars Han Qing has encountered, there are very few people who can be neither humble nor arrogant in front of him. Qing's first impression of Yang Peng was good, and he made a gesture of please, "Brother Yi, please." ”

"Brother Han, please." After greeting each other, Yang Peng sat cross-legged with Han Qing facing each other. Shen Peng and the woman in white waited on the side, waiting for the summons at any time. Qing is cooking tea, and it is still clear tea, not the tea soup that the Great Song scholars like. After a bowl of piping hot tea was cooked, Han Qing handed it to Yang Qi and asked with a smile, "Brother Yi is a businessman?" ”

Yang Peng picked up the tea, took a sip, raised his eyebrows, and was slightly stunned. The tea cooked by Han Qing is actually a kind of tea called Daohuaxiang produced in the tea plantations of the southern country. This tea tree is planted not far from the rice fields, and when the rice grows, the rice flowers are sprinkled on the tea leaves when the wind blows.

Under the influence of rice flowers, the tea leaves are naturally dyed with a hint of rice flower fragrance, hence the name. Yang Peng likes this kind of rice flower fragrance the most. Since the tea produced in the Great Song Dynasty is fermented black tea, Yang Peng is not used to drinking it, so Yang Tong often prepares some rice flowers for Yang Peng at home. Yang Peng didn't expect to be able to meet a person with similar tastes to himself in Liaoguo.

Yang Peng answered Han Qing's question while sipping the tea carefully, "It's not a businessman, and the businessman just happens to be at the right time." At my core, I'm still a reader. Han Qing seemed to be very satisfied with Yang Qi's answer, nodded, and asked again: "Then, from the perspective of a scholar, Brother Yi will help me take a look at the most valuable of the picture scrolls and classics in my room." ”

Yang Peng was stunned, shook his head and smiled: "You are questioning my identity as a scholar." Han Qing just smiled and didn't speak. Yang Peng was invited, inspected a circle, carefully observed Han Qing's collection, sat back in place, and said with a smile: "Brother Han is really a collector of everyone, in your collection, there is no shortage of unique books, celebrity calligraphy and paintings." The most valuable thing is Zhang Xu's wild grass. ”

Han Qing said with a smile: "Brother Yi's words are wrong, although Zhang Xu's wild grass is rare, but there are many survivals, and there may not be no people who surpass him in the future." Therefore, Han believes that the most valuable thing in Han's collection should be a poem, a word, and a painting by Yang Peng. Yang Peng can be described as a genius in the sky, and in just one year, he has practiced a full stomach of economy, and his poetry talent is even more unparalleled in the world.

In addition, the sketch school created by Yang Peng is a family of its own. The original thin gold body has everyone's style. The most important thing is that Yang Peng is only one in his twentieth year.

Such a character, we can only hope for it. Even if it is thousands of years away, no one can surpass it. Han Qing's admiring expression made Yang Peng a little embarrassed. Yang Peng really wanted to tell Han Qing to let him wait a few more years, and after he strangled the young Su Laoquan and nippled Su Shi in the bud, it would not be too late for Han Qing to boast that no one would surpass him.

Of course, Yang Peng could only think about it, but he couldn't say it. Moreover, even if he really met the young Su Laoquan, he would not really do it. At most, he will bring Su Laoquan into the door and become a registered disciple. Then let Su Shi Su be a big foodie in the future, and live under his glory for the rest of his life.

Also back to business. What Yang Peng didn't expect was that Han Qing was actually his fan. Yang Peng could only accompany Han Qing, be cheeky, and boast of himself together, blowing himself to the sky.

At the beginning, he bragged about Yang Pengren, and Han Qing was like being beaten with chicken blood. Yang Peng tried hard to recall the poems he had copied, chanted them, and praised each one.

It was recognized by Han Qing at once. Han Qing almost introduced Yang Peng as a confidant and talked about everything. The woman in white listened with fascination. Shen Peng, who knew the inside story, rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost went crazy.

Han Qing and Yang Peng also didn't patronize and talk about Yang Peng, and after the topic was opened, the two of them also took the time to chat about business. "Brother Yi Xian, I heard that the Ryukyu Money Store was set up by the Ryukyu royal family, and the Ryukyu emperor is surnamed Yi, could it be that Brother Yi Xian is a member of the Ryukyu royal family?" When the two were talking, they used to know each other's age, Yang Peng was one year younger than Han Qing, so he was called a younger brother. Yang Peng shook his head and smiled: "The Ryukyu money store is only entrusted to the hands of the Ryukyu royal family, not the industry of the Ryukyus. Although I share the same surname as the Ryukyu Emperor, I am not related by blood.

I am ashamed to say that when Your Majesty founded the Ryukyus, my grandfather gave a lot of money to support Your Majesty. After the founding of the country, His Majesty took pity on my grandfather's merits and gave him the imperial surname Yi. In essence, our home is still our home, a pure merchant. The Ryukyu royal family is the Ryukyu royal family, but it is not the same as us. ”

Han Qing suddenly realized: "I see, I didn't expect there to be such a story in this." If you don't see Brother Yi Xian today, Brother Wei won't be able to understand the Tao. ”

The story told by Yang Peng was obviously told by touching Han Qing's pulse. The Han family also faced the problem of giving surnames. Therefore, Han Qing has a sense of empathy for Ryukyu's statement.

"The royal family is honorable, and the grandfather of the virtuous brother can be given the surname by the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, which is also a deep blessing." These words sound like they are praising Yang Peng, but in fact, there is no intention to comfort themselves. Changing the surname to Yelu may be a great way for the Han family to bring the wealth of the Han family to a higher level.

However, Han Qing, who has been advocating Sinology since he was a child, feels that this has a feeling of betraying his ancestors. He actually didn't agree with the issue of the Han family changing their surname. However, his Lao Tzu and the Queen Mother are fighting hotly, and he is the head of the family, and no one can stop his decision.

"Hey~" Han Qing let out a long sigh, and simply didn't think about these troubles anymore, he said to Yang Peng: "Brother Yi Xian, I invite you to a banquet here today for my brother, mainly for two things.

Some of us have taken a fancy to the financial resources of your Ryukyu money bank, so they want to mix it in. But they are afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble. Therefore, after learning that you, the proprietor of the money bank, arrived in Shangjing, he sent me out to find out the details of the money bank. Han Qing paused and said frankly: "I won't hide it from you as a brother, the people in the clan have decided that if you have a background in the money bank, they will choose to take a cooperative attitude with you." If you have a shallow background, they will swallow the money raw. ”

Yang Peng was stunned and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Zhengqing for informing me." It's just that the nobles want to kill chickens for warmth, aren't they afraid of breaking their teeth? Han Qing sighed: "With the increasing power of my father, they have become more and more unscrupulous. Although Brother Wei can talk to you, he can only tell you the truth, but he can't help you. ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Brother Zhengqing can tell him calmly, I am already grateful." As for the noble clansmen, if they want to swallow my Ryukyu money, isn't it a bit too much? The Liao State is now suffering from internal and external troubles, the internal political situation is unstable, and there is a strong enemy of the Great Song Dynasty outside, not counting the recently rising revival Guan Yang family. If you provoke us in the Ryukyus again, aren't you afraid of inviting the disaster of destroying the country? ”

Han Qing hesitated: "They believe that Ryukyu is far away from our Liao country, and it is not enough to pose a threat. Yang Peng shook his head and smiled: "My Ryukyu is far away from Liao, but it is not without the power to interfere in the war. Not to mention that I have countless Ryukyu sea ships, and I can transport my elite soldiers of the Ryukyu at any time. Just between Song and Liao, the most important thing I lack in Ryukyu is money and grain, if I am willing to give 30 million loads of grain to support the Song State to invade Liao, what do you think is the chance of victory for Liao? ”

Han Qing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers and horses under my father and the king of the Southern Courtyard are invincible. ”

"No, no, no......" Yang Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Once a war breaks out between Song and Liao, it will be an earth-shattering war. The number of troops will rapidly increase to hundreds of thousands, and the combined forces of both sides will even exceed one million.

In addition, the number of people, servants, etc., will reach millions. In this case, the nature of the war changes. From the initial war between armies and armies, it has evolved into a consumption of national strength. Whoever is weak will be defeated. This is an indisputable fact.

If I can continue to provide food support to the Great Song Dynasty, with the strength of our two countries, it will be enough to consume your Liao Kingdom. Therefore, in the current situation, offending the Ryukyus is causing trouble for you, the Liao State. And, in my opinion, the Ryukyus and the Liao should not be enemies, but friends.

You tell me? "Han Qing was a pure scholar, although he had a son who was the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, but he had little knowledge of war. The perception of war also stays at the most basic combat effectiveness and troop strength.

They are completely unaware of the importance of national power in war. Yang Peng's words, Han Qing, who listened to it, was dumbfounded, he pretended to be calm, and said: "Brother Yi Xian is really knowledgeable, even if he is involved in the art of war, he is so deep. It's better to be ashamed of your brother.

These things will be told to the people by the Brotherhood. As for how they decide, it's up to them. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's also recruited by themselves, and it has nothing to do with being a brother, being a brother is just an errand runner. Yang Peng echoed with a smile: "Brother Zhengqing is still open-minded and honest, not like me, who works hard all day long." ”

Having said that, Yang Peng didn't believe it in his heart, Han Qing, the second son of the Han Mansion, was just an errand runner. And again, even Han Qingzhen is an errand runner. So who can order this second son of the Han Mansion to run errands, I am afraid that only two people in the entire Han Mansion can do it. One is his awesome old man, and the other is his eldest brother who has lived for a long time.

Whether it is any of these two people, they can actually represent Han Qing. In other words, no matter what story there is behind this, it is inseparable from Han Qing. The two of them were polite again, and at the time of parting. Yang Peng pondered for a moment, and said to Han Qing a little shyly: "Brother Han, I have a private matter I want to ask Brother Han, I don't know if Brother Han can make it convenient." ”

"A private matter? Tell me about it. Yang Peng lowered his voice and whispered: "I heard that the princess of your country, Tiejing, is a rare beauty, and a pearl on the grassland. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to meet ......."

"Poof~" Han Qing squirted out the tea he had just drunk into his mouth, staring at Yang Peng with a stunned expression.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
