Xue Ling's words made Zhao Bufan very silent, he didn't expect Cai Jing to pay so much attention to himself, he didn't expect that he was unknown, but he would be taken so seriously by Cai Jing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Do you have questions?" Xue Ling seemed to see through his thoughts, and suddenly opened her mouth.

Zhao Bufan stared at Xue Ling quietly, staring at her beautiful eyes.

"Cai Xiang actually values me so much?"

"Cai Xiang is not ignorant of military affairs, he knows how difficult it is for you to lead seven hundred soldiers to defend Bazhou City, and you are still very young, so he values your ability and potential very much, and I have also strongly recommended you, saying that you are not a reckless man who only knows how to fight, but has wit and scheming, and he believes in my vision very much. Xue Ling said casually, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Zhao Bufan looked at her indifferent eyes, and felt that this woman was bottomless and couldn't see through it at all.

"Why do you recommend me?"

"Because you do have some skills, I appreciate you!"

"You colluded with Liao, aren't you afraid of being exposed by me?"

"You can expose it, but who believes it? You are not afraid of suffering from it? If you don't reveal it so far, aren't you unsure?" Xue Ling was still cold and flat, as if she had no emotions at all.

Zhao Bufan took a deep breath and felt that the woman in front of him was too elusive.

"Who are you? I don't know what you're trying to do?"

Xue Ling smiled, this was the first time Zhao Bufan saw her smile, as if the cold winter dissipated and a hundred flowers bloomed.

She turned around and faded away, looking graceful even when she walked.

"I am a woman, a beautiful woman!"

These words made Zhao Bufan's heart very depressed, and he really had the urge to spurt blood, staring at the distant shadow, and said fiercely: "You demon girl, I must find out your true face!"

"I also want to know what my true face is, it would be nice if you could help me!" Xue Ling didn't look back, and walked forward.

Zhao Bufan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Hey, what are the results of Qin Ming, Hua Rong, and Huang Xin that I recommended to Cai Xiang?"

"You still have some vision, Qin Ming and Hua Rong's martial arts are indeed extraordinary, Cai Xiangzheng needs some talents with strong martial arts, they have been transferred to the capital as officials two months ago, Qin Ming and Huang Xin are pure martial artists, a tenacious guy, they are very grateful for Cai Xiang's promotion, so it is relatively easy, although Hua Rong is grateful to Cai Xiang, but his attitude is not particularly clear! In short, Cai Xiang is very happy about this matter, if you still know this kind of master in the future, you can write to him at any time to recommend him!"

With the words, Xue Ling disappeared into the corner of the dark street, Zhao Bufan took a deep breath, relaxed slightly, and thought secretly: Now that Qin Ming, Hua Rong and Huang Xin have been temporarily transferred, Song Jiang, who is wandering around, should not be able to touch them, for the time being, it can be regarded as letting these people get rid of the tragic encounter, and I will slowly find a way to get them under my command in the future!

In Zhao Bufan's vague memory, Qin Ming can be regarded as a very tragic person among the heroes of Liangshan, who was originally the prisoner of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, and was ordered to levy the bandits in Qingzhou, but was calculated by Song Jiang who was exiled in Qingzhou, and secretly sent Wang Ying and others to impersonate him, slaughtered several villages with blood, and spread rumors that he had surrendered to the bandits. Murong of Qingzhou knew that Qin Ming's wife and children were angry, and hung their heads on the city wall.

Qin Ming was then caught by Song Jiang, and when he learned that they were the ones who harmed him, he wanted to immediately join them, but Song Jiang used both soft and hard methods, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger. At that time, he was afraid of Song Jiang's powerful bandits, and at the same time, he was desperate, and he wanted to kill Murong Zhizhou to avenge his wife and children, so he finally chose to give in and became one of the five tiger generals of Liangshan.

Although Song Jiang is the one who sets up the game, but the two armies are fighting, there are many such means, conspiracy and deceit are the rules of the battlefield, and the generals often hate not the enemy, but their own people who stab them in the back, so he hates Murong Zhizhou the most. It was for these multiple reasons that Qin Ming was finally forced to get on the thief ship, and the people slowly changed and gradually integrated into Liangshan. After all, not everyone is a hero, everyone is Yue Fei, everyone can stick to their hearts, Qin Ming has superb martial arts and talents, but after all, he is an ordinary person, and he still slowly fell, until he died on the battlefield after Zhao'an, which ended his sad and painful life.

As for Hua Rong, he was also both civil and military, and he didn't have to say anything on the battlefield, but he was too righteous and was coaxed by Song Jiang to become the most loyal thug around him, and he was confused until he died. In order to reduce the hatred in Qin Ming's heart, Song Jiang asked him to sacrifice his sister and compensate Qin Ming as his wife, but he didn't say a word, and directly agreed. can be said to be a person with outstanding strengths and weaknesses, but it is a pity that when he met Song Jiang, his advantages were used, and his shortcomings became the beginning of a tragedy.

Zhao Bufan still vaguely remembered this, so he couldn't accept it, in his heart, if these people were correctly guided, just like Yang Zaixing met Yue Fei, then they would not be so miserable, then they could also become the backbone of the country, instead of going to tragedy.

Standing alone on the street for a long time, the sky was already bright, Zhao Bufan stared at the sunrise in the east, and quietly clenched his fists.

"Even if there are faint kings and traitors, poor and evil bandits, threats from enemy countries outside, and people are degraded inside, I still have to play this game of chess!!"

............

A month later, He Daye and Yan Qing secretly came to Yantou Village, and Zhao Bufan personally went to meet the two outside the village.

As soon as they met, Yan Qing directly gave Zhao Bufan a bear hug.

"Extraordinary, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you have grown taller again, and you are more handsome!"

"Okay, what are the two brothers polite, how are things going?" Zhao Bufan was very concerned about his plan, and directly changed the topic back.

Yan Qing said with a smile: "At the beginning, we found that the treasure was really valuable, and after all of them were processed, a total of 167,823 copper coins were exchanged, and then I exchanged them for pure gold to the merchants in the south in batches, all of which were loaded on the two carriages behind, and I never took a penny, but when those friends from the rivers and lakes helped sell it, they took a lot, after all, this is the rule, there is no way!"

"I still can't trust Brother Xiaoyi?" Zhao Bufan rolled his eyes and said excitedly: "Brother Xiaoyi, this money should have been divided equally between you and me and Zhizhi, but now I have an urgent need, you lend it to me first, and I will repay you twice in the future." ”

"It's okay, you can use it first!" After Yan Qing readily agreed, he asked suspiciously, "But what are you doing with so much gold all of a sudden?"

"Buy Zhuangzi and land!" Zhao Bufan did not hide it, and directly stated his intentions.

The more Yan Qing listened, the more puzzled she became: "What are you doing when you buy a Zhuangzi? Aren't you in front of a commander? I don't want to be promoted, how can I get a big Zhuangzi out?"

"You will naturally understand in the future!" Zhao Bufan smiled mysteriously, and turned to He Daye and said, "Daye, I will find a way to help you retire from the army tomorrow!"

"Really?" He Daye couldn't believe it, he wasn't interested in too much money, but just wanted to leave the army as soon as possible and live a good life with his family.

He has seen too much bloody wind and rain in his life, whether it is the army or the rivers and lakes, he is tired of it, and he also looks down on power and money, because of this, he and Zhao Bufan have become confidants, otherwise Zhao Bufan would not let him participate in such an important matter.

Seeing that He Daye couldn't believe it, Zhao Bufan smiled slightly: "Actually, the person who made you delay your discharge from the army is me!"

"You?" He Daye stared at him with wide eyes, and a little annoyance gradually rose on his face, the anger of being deceived by someone close to him, but he regarded Zhao Bufan as his best friend.

Zhao Bufan knew that he would be angry, and hurriedly explained: "Ohno, the reason I did that was to give you a better placement!"

"What to settle? I have enough savings, I will go to the south to buy ten acres of land, live in peace and stability, don't worry about you!" He Daye turned his head angrily, this veteran was really angry.

Zhao Bufan had long expected this to be the case, so he didn't care, and pulled him to continue to explain: "Daye, you can indeed go back to the south to buy a few acres of land to live a stable life, and then raise your children well, but what about them when they grow up? Have you thought about their way out? Da Song's situation, you don't know, with your ability, you can support a family, but you will always grow old, and you will die, and you can't take care of them for a lifetime!"

These words were said to He Dayi's heart, which made him feel a lot less angry, but he still didn't speak.

Zhao Bufan looked at him, and smiled again and continued: "I saw a big manor in the southwest of Dacheng County, at the junction of Bazhou and Hejian Mansion, including good fields, secondary fields, poor fields, roads, houses and several mountains and forests, totaling more than 25,000 acres of land, more than 500 hectares, more than 1,000 small households, about 6,000 people, I want you to go to the manor in the future to be in charge, this is not embarrassing for you!"

The system of the Song Dynasty is 50 acres for one hectare, more than 500 hectares is equivalent to less than 17 square kilometers in later generations, this is a large piece of land, although not all arable land, as well as mountains and forests and roads are also counted, but it is also a large manor, even in the Great Song Dynasty, where the land annexation is very serious, such a manor is also medium to high, and the larger manor is basically only owned by the imperial relatives and important ministers of the imperial court.

He Daye was shocked when he suddenly heard him say that: "You bought such a large piece of land, but let me be the capital manager?"

"Hmm!" Zhao Bufan nodded with a smile: "You are experienced and well-informed, it is most suitable to have you to help me operate, and you are open-minded, honest and loyal, you will not bully small households, let alone lie to me, if you don't have you, I really don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others, I don't want to be a bad rich man, I want to be a good rich man!"

He Daye was moved, and suddenly turned his head: "Bufan, how can you make me appreciate you, I can still get such a beautiful difference after I am discharged from the army, it is a blessing from the previous life." Don't worry, I will help you run the Zhuangzi prosperously, the small households will have enough food and clothing, and you will also have a full warehouse of money and grain!"

Zhao Bufan shook his head with a smile: "Daye, the two of us are friends of life and death, we are both our own people, thank you too much, I can trust you!"

He Daye looked at him solemnly, didn't say anything more, and gave it away!

This is a good man who has really gone through hardships, and he is also one of Zhao Bufan's most trusted people.

The atmosphere quickly eased down, Zhao Bufan didn't intend to stop there, instead looked at Yan Qing, and asked solemnly: "Brother Xiaoyi, the money I borrowed will be returned to you as soon as possible, but do you want to continue to follow the master in the future, or do you want to go out alone?" I still have some ideas, which are being prepared to be realized gradually, and I urgently need the help of someone with ability!"
