Chapter Ninety-Seven: He Baihu
In the evening, when Hai Xiya talked about it with his family at home, he was still very happy.
When He Baihu arrived in Suzhou more than a month ago, he saw that the other party was young and capable, and he was the son of a hereditary hundred households in Liangzhou, the son of a partial general, and a big family, he didn't expect that people would come to take over his experience from Qipin, but he thought that Liangzhou Wei saw that Suzhou Wei had made money, so he also wanted to learn from it, and sent young children to learn from it.
Haixi Cliff was still a little unhappy at that time. Suzhou Wei took a lot of effort to open up the sales of the goods produced by the two workshops, which is not stable, and the glassware has Chang'an and Ganzhou, two strong competitors, why Liangzhou is also coming to grab business?
However, he also understood that as one of the most remote guards in Dachu, Liangzhou Wei was not easy. The commander there is also the adopted son of the Zhou family, he has always been upright, and he is also extremely filial and close to the old marshal of Zhou, how can the people of the old faction of Sun Ge in the cabinet look at him pleasing to the eye? What is the treatment of Suzhou Wei, Liangzhou Wei is also the same treatment, at most it is relatively peaceful, there have been fewer battles in the past few years, and the financial shortcomings are all dependent on the money and food earned back by the Zhou family's caravan.
It's just that in recent years, the Zhou family has been suppressed more in the court, and the caravan has become more and more difficult, and it is difficult to ensure that all the guards of the Northwest Frontier Army have sufficient money and food. Liangzhou Wei saw that Suzhou Wei had found a way to be self-sufficient, so he also wanted to learn it and reduce the burden of the Zhou family, which was also human nature. They may not be able to find any glassmakers there, let alone compete with Ganzhou and Chang'an, and the only thing they can make up their minds is the wine workshop. It just so happens that Liangzhou is also a place where grapes are produced, and wine drinking was also very popular in the early years.
Thinking of this, Haixi Cliff was much more tolerant of He Baihu, and was willing to give him more advice, so he hoped that Liangzhou Wei would be able to repay the favor, don't rob Suzhou Wei's business too hard, it's better to take Suzhou Wei to make a fortune together.
As a result, I didn't expect that He Baihu actually came to take over the affairs of Suzhou Wine Workshop and Glass Workshop, and Haixi Ya's previous dedication to teaching now helped He Baihu complete his unfinished business in Suzhou, and his long-term hard work was rewarded, how could he not be happy?
Haixi Cliff couldn't help but drink an extra glass of wine for dinner tonight to celebrate.
Ma Shi was listening, and he was also happy for his husband, but he was a little curious: "Listening to what the master said, then He Baihu is young, his family background is good, and his family business is also prosperous, why are he willing to leave his family in Liangzhou and come to our Suzhou to have a small experience from Qipin?" He's a hundred! β
Hai Xiya said with a smile: "I heard that he is the son of a partial general, his father and ancestors died on the battlefield, he supported the family business at a young age, and he is very capable." But Liangzhou Wei has no suitable position for him now, and it just so happened that our Suzhou Wei was vacant, and the Zhou family in Chang'an wrote a letter to the past, and the commander of Liangzhou Wei sent him over. Although it is only a small experience at the moment, with his family background and talents, as long as he does a good job and has merits in two years, is it not easy to be promoted? The generals of our guard are the most talented, and they will never wronged him. β
Xie Wenzai is more well-informed than his cousin in this regard: "This He Baihu, his deceased father was originally a powerful general under the command of Marshal Zhou, but unfortunately he died early. However, Marshal Zhou has always been very concerned about the growth of He Baihu, and in his early years, he also took people to Chang'an to teach them personally, and only when he was eighteen years old did he return to Liangzhou. Although he is only in his twenties now, in addition to being good at running his family's industry, he is also very good at managing logistics in the army. It's a pity that Liangzhou Wei is now in charge of this kind of affairs is his own uncle, he is not good at competing with his uncle, and he doesn't want to be idle at home, so he simply came to Suzhou to break through. Although the He family's business is in Liangzhou, most of these He Baihu will not stay in Liangzhou in the future, and they may have a greater future. The Zhou family wanted him to go to various health centers to experience it, which was also the meaning of cultivating him. β
Hai Xiya suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, when he went to Chang'an, our family just moved to Ganzhou, otherwise we would have had the opportunity to meet each other." I've heard of his father's name, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with it, but he is indeed a hero. β
Ma said: "Since he has such a family background and a talented descendant, then the master can rest assured that he will hand over the affairs in his hands." The order has come down, and our family should be ready to leave. Seeing that the weather is about to get cold, if you drag it until it snows and then hurry, it will not be pleasant! β
Haixi Cliff hurriedly said: "Naturally, it won't be delayed until then, we will go to Chang'an a year ago." Before, because we didn't have a letter, we didn't want to make a noise, but now that the order has come down, let's send someone back to Chang'an to send a letter to clean the house. If the old house in Chang'an has not been inhabited for too long and is decaying, you have to ask someone to repair it quickly. β
Ma pouted and said: "I really have to wait until the master speaks, the daylilies are cold!" E's has already written to Sister E, and she will repair and clean the house for E. Even the family's carriage has been repaired, and a few new ones have been added, and a few more horses have been added to pull the carriage. The things that need to be used on the road have already been purchased! β
She even looked for someone to see the house she lives in now. When the whole family leaves, the follow-up large luggage is slowly transported away, and the house can change hands.
Haixi Ya saw that his wife was well prepared, and thanked her for her hard work: "There are a lot of things in the future, and I have to ask the lady to bother a lot, and ask the lady to work hard more this time." When I return to Chang'an, I will definitely reward my mother. As he spoke, he got up and solemnly bowed to Ma's.
Ma Shi curled the corners of his mouth: "Okay, what is this matter, why is the master still polite?" β
Haitang watched her grandparents flirt and scold, and when she saw Uncle Xie smiling beside her, she pretended to be dumb with a smile.
However, she caught a glimpse of her brother Hai Jiao sitting next to her, with a strange face, as if there was something on her mind, and she couldn't help but be curious.
When the family meeting was over, everyone went back to the house, and Haitang followed the reef into the east wing: "What's wrong with my brother tonight?" Why do you seem to be wandering all the time? β
"It's nothing ......" Hai Jiao paused before lowering his voice and said, "When I heard the name of He Baihu, I always felt a little familiar, and I was a little suspicious that he was the General He who later took over the border army commander's seal. β
Haitang blinked: "I remember my brother mentioned it...... That General He was originally from Liangzhou, and he was under the command of Zhenguo Gong...... These can be matched, that's how old you are...... Seems too young, right? β
Haitang has never seen He Baihu, only heard that he is a young talent in his twenties, who looks like a military attachΓ©, but a scholar, and the official documents are also very well written, the words are very beautiful, and even Xie Wenzai has praised him. However, he is good at riding and shooting, he is not a weak person, whether it is dealing with military Chinese and secretary work, or taking care of the industry of the health office, he can do it, but ...... Become the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army? Is it possible?
Haijiao stopped going to the guard house before He Baihu arrived in Suzhou, so he didn't pay much attention to the other party, and he didn't realize until today that it might be a big man he had heard of in his previous life, and he was naturally shocked in his heart.
But in addition to being shocked, he was more suspicious. Will He Baihu really be He Dashuai? But now that he no longer stays in Liangzhou to earn military merits, but comes to Suzhou to work as a civilian, will he still have the opportunity to lead the army in the future?
However, if the Zhou family had not been calculated by the Sun family again, lost many of their children, and lost the power of the border army, then He Baihu might not have the opportunity to become the commander of the northwest again. After all, the Zhou family has so many outstanding children, and there is no shortage of military merits. On the contrary, He Baihu, who was young, and had caught up with the peaceful years after the peace talks, was deficient in military merits......
Haijiao once again felt that the experiences and memories of his previous life were not as useful as he thought.
Domino effect. From the day the result of the Battle of Suzhou was reversed, he ushered in a new future.
