Chapter 62: Business

The rain swept across the heavens and the earth, and the violent thunder and lightning roared among the low-pressure clouds, shaking the mountains and shaking the mountains, and the earth cracking and collapsing, showing that only nature itself is the master of the universe. /.ο½‘Ξ’οΌ•γ€ο½ƒο½Πœ/

The lightning pierced the dark sky, revealing trees swaying wildly in the storm coming from all directions.

"Boom" a flash of lightning hit a large tree in the distance.

Zhang Xuanning stood on the deck, and in the midst of the lightning, he had already seen the scene in the distance.

"My lord, we have arrived at the inner harbor port outside Huiji City. Chen Changlin stepped forward and said.

The strange thing is that when you get to the pier, the thunderstorm is gone, and there is not much time for the clouds to disappear. At sunset, the afterglow of the sunset shines brightly on the river.

"Well, give the order, and say we're back. Zhang Xuanning said lightly, however, a giant ship attracted Zhang Xuanning's attention, that is, in the harbor, although there are eight sailing ships of various kinds, but that giant ship is very eye-catching.

At this moment, the ship issued an order, and the sentry on the opposite pier immediately noticed it, read the flag, and then took out a horn and blew it.

The trumpet sounded loudly, and it could be heard within ten miles.

It didn't take long for the sound of a neat formation near the dock, a large number of soldiers had already stepped forward, they were all wearing uniform uniforms, although the weapons in their hands were relatively simple, but the solemn array, three thousand people and silent, layer by layer, brought an incomparably terrifying aura.

Wearing armor and a long knife hanging from his waist, he rode out, it was Zhou Feng, he turned over and dismounted, and the armor rattled. Straight up, and the other docks were immediately isolated by the sailors, driving the original ships aside.

When Zhang Xuanning got down to the dock, he saw Zhou Fengmeng stepping forward and kneeling: "Zhou Feng, the commander of the ministers, meet the lord!"

Suddenly, the three thousand soldiers behind him also knelt down together: "Meet the Governor!"

The sound was deafening, between the skies. For a moment nothing else could be heard.

Zhang Xuanning laughed and said: "General Zhou, please get up, well, General Zhou's martial arts have made great progress, it is really gratifying, the Military Academy, has it come out?"

In this era, large-scale academies for non-commissioned officers and officers, are really undesirable. However, a small number of trainings are also legitimate, and the military academy was built to cultivate descendants, and to teach martial arts and the art of war at different levels.

Under his current gaze, Zhou Feng's changes are clear at a glance, this person followed him early, laid the foundation early, and in Yangzhou for three years, he was also regarded as a third-rate master and in his own army. After more than half a year of training, I was taught a higher mental method, and finally faced a breakthrough.

The general only needs to have a second-rate master, and with the strength of the guards, the world can go to it, and he can be in charge alone.

Zhou Feng is like this. The other Feng Yuanding, Feng Shengji's two brothers, and Ding Xingbang, are even more so, finally, their own army, there are also generals who can take charge of themselves, although they are still naΓ―ve, but they can be regarded as seedlings, and they don't need to do everything themselves.

"Yes, I have read the art of war taught by my husband. The minister was dull and only learned the skin. Zhou Feng said modestly.

Just by virtue of this, he knew that there was a lot of progress, Zhang Xuanning thought of Luo Jin and Ren Jie, and couldn't help sighing, although his martial arts and art of war have made progress, but the progress is not big, and his martial arts are not second-rate masters. can only serve as a general of a thousand people, and can no longer continue to be entrusted with important tasks.

Otherwise. If tens of thousands of troops under his command were assassinated and killed, wouldn't it ruin the overall situation? This is also one of the rules of this world, and no one can do anything about it.

"You go and inform Mr. Li, count the goods I have brought, and at the same time move them down and transport them to the warehouse, pay attention, don't open it, don't miss a box, violators, behead! Well, don't move the boxes on my ship first, move them directly to my governor's mansion, and don't count them." ”

"Yes, the minister. Zhou Feng was immediately ordered, and then the soldiers stepped forward to carry the goods.

With the ordnance inventory of the two counties, in fact, it can only meet the armament of 10,000 people, and it is still the standard of local weapons and equipment, not even the regular army, let alone the standard of the forbidden army.

Now that there is this Yang Gong treasure, the entire army can be upgraded, almost like a forbidden army.

Of course, the forbidden army is selected by strong people from all over the world, and although their own army is strictly trained, it is also two levels worse than it, so it is not the time for a head-to-head confrontation.

Seeing that the matter had been explained, he took thirty guards and came to the big ship, and sure enough, on the big ship, a group of people were pointing on the deck.

"Dare to ask, is this the Song family's boat?" he said, bowing to one of the people on the boat and saying.

"It turned out that the chief manager came in person, don't dare or don't dare, it should have been my Song Shidao who apologized first!" The person in the center, this gentleman is indeed handsome and personable, he also said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Song Gongzi, who was disappointed, and asked for forgiveness. Zhang Xuanning said after a good time: "I should have welcomed Gongzi off the boat immediately, but my dock is busy, I don't know if I can be allowed to get on the boat.

What about two?"

"It is an honor for me to be here, Lord Steward. "Song Shidao really spoke decently, not arrogant or humble, just right.

"Childe and Steward, they are just external titles, why bother, it's better to match our names. Zhang Xuanning stepped forward, and the pro-soldiers followed, and at any time, he would not give up the pro-soldiers, this is his principle.

"This is the honor of the teacher, Xuanning Xian Brother is only eighteen years old now, what a hero, my father has heard you, I have heard the reputation of the virtuous brother for a long time, I came to visit, but I didn't expect that the virtuous brother has traveled, it is between the chagrin, but today I saw the virtuous brother come back, this is really fate. Song Shidao said with a smile, although his tone was modest, but unconsciously, there was a sense of condescension.

The Song clan is the most powerful clan in the south, and the lord of the "Heavenly Knife" Song Que is known as the world's first knife master.

At that time, Yang Jian ruled the world and established the Great Sui, because he was afraid of the power of the Song people, he adopted a policy of appeasement towards them, and named Song Que as "Zhennan Gong", and Song Que also knew that the general trend of the Southern Dynasty had gone, so he deceived and bowed down to protect the family.

Among the four surnames. The other three surnames are all mixed with Hu blood, and this fruit is the only surviving, and the southern clans that maintain their prestige have always adhered to the tradition and strictly forbade the clansmen to intermarry with people other than the Han people, so they are regarded as Han orthodoxy in the rivers and lakes. When Emperor Wen Yang Jian was in power, with Song Quan's majestic strategy, he still did not dare to act rashly, and he was still obscure. Concentrate on cultivating and avoid catastrophe.

It was not until Yang Guang ascended the throne that internal strife and external worries, the government was corrupted, and rebellions broke out, and the Song valve became active again. Song Zhi, the younger brother of Song Que "Earth Sword", is one of the few sword masters in the world, and he is also famous for his wisdom, knowing that the Sui Dynasty is still vigorous. If he raised troops too early, he would be the first target to be attacked, so he persuaded Brother Nai to postpone his rebellion against Sui and engage in all kinds of profiteering transactions.

In recent years, the power of the Song family has been secretly growing, and even supporting some related rebels with financial resources to weaken the power of the Great Sui, so now Zhang Xuanning has this momentum, and it is natural for the Song valve to send people, Song Que has four sons and two daughters, and Song Shidao is the youngest son. Specializing in all kinds of business, he is even a father's favorite.

Seeing him, Zhang Xuanning suddenly remembered Fu Junwu, this Goryeo woman and Song Shidao were born with fate, and they fell in love at first sight, and they were going to kill Fu Junwu. It was because she knew the secret of Yang Gong's treasure, and now that Yang Gong's treasure had been taken by herself, there was no need to kill her, so it was better to let this person entangle with Fu Junwu and make him lose his ambition.

After all, Song Shidao is the heir of Song Valve, if he is entangled in the private affairs of men and women, it is really beneficial and harmless to himself, should he arrange for him to meet Fu Junwu?

But I don't know if things develop like this, with the Song Dynasty's strict tradition of not allowing foreign marriages, will Song Que personally kill this foreign woman Fu Junwu who confused her son? But that's none of your business.

He had already made up his mind in his heart, and immediately smiled: "I have a small name, why can I be moved by the Zhennan Gong? I am really terrified! However, if the time comes, I will go to see the Zhennan Gong!"

In the end, it is a family, extraordinary, and there is not much time, and the cabin hall has a banquet, which is exquisite and grand. But the places that are eligible to attend, except for Song Shidao. But there is only one person, it is about forty years old, but he is full of white hair, with a silver-white beard, but there is no sign of aging at all, graceful and heroic, a man with everyone's bearing, this is Song Zhi.

But he didn't see Liu Jing, let alone Song Yuzhi, which made Zhang Xuanning very regretful, so it can be seen that his own power has not really moved Song Valve, otherwise, he has no wife, and Song Yuzhi should come on a blind date with the boat.

It is impossible for the marriage of a big family to be autonomous, and Song Que has two daughters, ranking fourth and sixth respectively. Song Yuhua married Xie Wenlong, the son of Xie Hui, a Xichuan tycoon based in Chengdu.

Xie Hui, a first-class master on the same level as Song Zhi, built his own "Duzun Fort", one of the emerging forces that have sprung up outside the four surnamed gate lords, and the marriage of the two Song Xie families is full of the flavor of political transactions.

As long as he is strong and in the south, Song Valve will naturally extend an olive branch, in Zhang Xuanning's opinion, Song Yuzhi has long been a beautiful lamb who wears heavy palace clothes outside, but actually doesn't wear underwear.

However, if Song Valve knew that he had taken the treasure of Yang Gong and the jade seal of the country, even if he couldn't pack the ** Song Yuzhi and send it to him to taste at will, he should send it half-exposed and half-covered for him to go on a blind date, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Sump, I don't know what the good news is for the virtuous brother?"

"Of course there is, I am very happy that my brother came this time, in other words, the younger brother wants to buy some goods, I wonder if the elder brother is willing to do this business for the younger brother?" Since he said so, Zhang Xuanning didn't mind climbing up the stalk.

Song Shidao was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I am in the family, I am in business, I don't know what kind of goods do I want?"

"I want rice, I wonder if my brother can agree?"

"Although my family is not specialized in the rice and grain business, but this is in stock, I don't know how many stones do you need?"

Yes, it can be used, and if it is, he doesn't mind funding.

So he casually said, "I can give a discount to my brother." ”

In his mind, how much money does an emerging force have? The Song valve network is all over the south, and this is true of both black and white business, although there is a bit of chaos in the world now, but it does not affect this kind of network.

"Thank you so much, Brother Xian, the younger brother doesn't want much, it's enough to come with a million stones first. Zhang Xuanning said casually: "Now the price of grain is one and a half stones and two taels of silver, since my brother is willing to discount, how about the price of four dollars and eight cents of silver and one stone?"

"Poof!poof!" Suddenly, Song Shidao and Song Zhi were drinking. When they heard this, they all spit out their wine, and almost spilled half of the banquet.

One stone here is equal to 100 (in fact, it is 106 catties), one million stones, is equal to 100 million catties of grain, you know, the Sui Dynasty famously has Xingluo Cang, Chang Ping, Liyang Cang, Guangtong Cang, etc. The grain stored in each warehouse is only one million stones, and this amount really scares the two families.

But the two of them were both heroes, and they calmed down in a blink of an eye, thinking that Zhang Xuanning should not have meant to joke yet, so Song Shidao said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Xian really scared me, although my family's annual grain business also has more than 100,000 stones, but the number of one million stones." I still haven't done it before, so it's better to be like this, I can be the master, and bring 100,000 stone of grain first, and count it at four and a half cents of silver per stone, and for the rest of the land, I must go back and get my father's approval. ”

So saying, he motioned for the old seat to be removed and replaced with a new one.

"That's very good, Brother Shidao, please. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send 20,000 taels of silver as a deposit. Zhang Xuanning said without minding.

Yang Gong's treasure in his hands can't be hidden from those who have a heart, because the output of each county is limited, and he has such a means to get rich, so naturally there are only a few possibilities. After a few exclusions, a conclusion can be drawn.

And he is not afraid of leakage, the treasure has arrived in the base area, and now no one can help him, spread it, not only does not lose it, but let everyone in the world know that he has potential and strength, just to attract people to take refuge - everyone wants to take refuge in a promising landlord's family.

Of course, gold is not a panacea, if it cannot be converted into purchasing power. That didn't work.

There is a disadvantage in the development of the south, that is, due to the policy of the imperial court to emphasize the north and ignore the south, most of the grain harvested in the past was concentrated in the north, especially the warehouses near the second capital. It was not controlled by the Li valve, it was really time to buy land. Don't wait a year or two to buy it, and you won't be able to buy it.

If there is not enough food, we will not be able to raise enough troops, and if we do not have enough troops, we will implement the so-called argument that "if you win the world, you must first win the north."

At this time, the south has not yet completely become a granary production area!

And such a large-scale purchase of grain, without the participation of Song Valve, is impossible, and you can buy part of it yourself, but after all, it can't meet your needs.

This is also the meaning of showing strength to Song Valve early.

"Why does Brother Xian want so much food?"

"There is no way, I raise 30,000 troops, the food in the county is already insufficient, and next month, I want to use soldiers again, of course, the consumption is even greater. Zhang Xuanning smiled.

Just in the middle of talking and laughing, a new seat was served.

When Song Shidao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a dumb smile: "Brother Xian is really an ambitious person, so he will use soldiers again soon, come, I will celebrate Brother Xian!"

"Ding!" the cups touched, and both of them drank them all.

Then, the sound of singing and dancing came out, and a group of beauties came out wearing tulle.

Song valve is indeed powerful, on the ship, this room is also elegant and simple, delicate and beautiful, bead curtain fully reflects the combination and use of "separation" and "transparency". The small room, but it seems to be integrated inside and outside, and it is particularly elegant.

Zhang Xuanning smiled and watched the dance with all his heart, as if he was pouring into wine, and it made people feel that he had a good spare time and could withdraw at any time.

Seeing this scene, Song Shidao and Song Zhi couldn't help but glance at each other.

After the banquet, it was already midnight in the middle of the night, and Zhang Xuanning was surrounded by a group of relatives and guards, and he got off the boat.

Zhou Feng was still busy, and immediately stepped forward to pay respects, but saw that the lord looked up at the sky, only to see that the starry sky was not stretched endlessly, and countless stars were shining.

But as a courtier, he had to wait patiently by the side.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xuanning said, "Have they all been moved to the warehouse?"

"Not yet, Mr. Li is still presiding over the count, do you want me to call Mr. Li?" Zhou Feng replied respectfully.

"No need, it's not too late to see him tomorrow morning, everything I'm going to transport to the governor's mansion has been transported, right?"

"Yes, the first batch was shipped back. ”

"That's good, I'll go back first. After speaking, ignoring the congregation's soldiers in unison, under the escort of a hundred horsemen, Zhang Xuanning urged the horse to go straight to the city.
