Ao Run is in Wudu, and they need to contact the Chamber of Commerce at all times outside. Among the five people, Ha Michi and the Green-faced Beast are beast barbarians, so it is difficult to act alone; Feng Yuan is a mage, and his physical strength is not good, and his IQ is not necessary. Ao Run had to stay in the city to deliver the message back and forth, and he also had to appease Fu'an and others. I Fu'an brought ten reliable imperial soldiers to guard the Yanei. Although he was driven away, no one dared to go back. Staying in Wudu is closer to a high IQ. It's good to say that the Taiwei has an explanation. As for whether it can be used, it can only be left to fate.
Cheng Zongyang has lost contact with Lin'an since he entered Canglan. Although he has met Feng Yuan, Feng Dafa doesn't know much about Lin'an's situation. Ao Run has the Longjing Jade refined by Lin Qingpu. He can take the initiative to contact Lin Qingpu. Cheng Zongyang also has it, but it fails when entering Canglan. I don't know if it is because of radiation.
Cheng Zongyang's top priority was to restore contact with Lin'an, send a message to Yiling's semi-colon, and ask them to go to Canglan to meet Mo Rulin and others, and at the same time tell Wu Er and the little fox his whereabouts so that they won't wait blindly
The dancers were at the foot of Shouyang Mountain. Cheng Zongyang asked Feng Yuan's horses and took Old Man Zhu and Xiao Zi to walk all the way. He rushed to the city just after noon.
The city of Wudu is magnificent. Its area is not inferior to the well-known city of the Six Dynasties, but it lacks many complex and gorgeous decorations and exquisite curves. The eaves of the official office are generally large, but there are few flowing eaves. Instead, they are simple straight lines and thickly pressed on the beams. Round tiles are arranged under the eaves, with various cloud patterns, bird patterns, beast patterns, insect patterns, flower and bird patterns and text patterns drawn on them; below are huge wooden pillars, with painted all over the columns, solemn and steady.
Compared to Lin'an, every inch of land is much more empty, and there is also a large wasteland in the city, which seems to be vast and sparsely populated. Most of the roads are ox carts, and the roads are padded with loess. The deep ruts are printed with pedestrians and young men who are galloping on horseback. Most of them carry swords and swords. It can be seen that the people are brave and the martial arts style is very prosperous.
Ao Run did not live in the inn, but Fu'an and others rented a house together to settle in Han Dynasty. Most of the houses were rammed with loess walls. After smearing, white ash was painted. Most of the roofs were tart and grass, and occasionally a few were made of tiles.
When Cheng Zongyang arrived, several men were holding bundles of thatched grass and mud to repair the roof, Ao Run squatted under a big locust tree, biting his fingers and holding his breath.
Cheng Zongyang asked in confusion: What are you doing?
Don't make noise, don't make noise! I'm almost remembering this word... Ao Run racked his brains and patted his forehead, and suddenly stood up, "Taoer Cheng!" It's you? Why is there no news at all?
Cheng Zongyang took the wood chips in his hand, which were written in a few lines of ink. What was it?
The official gave it to the official, saying that the government ordered the outsiders to fill in their names, hometowns, and address. One was hung outside the door and the other was handed over to the official.
Then fill in it
Ao Run grunted twice, lowered her head with a sarcastic eyebrow and said in a low voice: I can't read...
Then why are you grinding with a blind ball? Where is Fu'an?
A man jumped off the roof and said with a smile: The rich butler is drunk and has not woken up yet
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Did you drink it early in the morning?
Last night last night! Ao Run quickly said: Yesterday, the rich brother celebrated his birthday, and the brothers set up a table of banquets, but as soon as they felt like they were drunk
The man bowed to Cheng Zongyang with his fists, and said, "The Imperial Guard, Zuo Yuhou, is this man probably Cheng Yuanwai?"
Hearing the official's help, Cheng Zongyang imagined the appearance of a squire wearing an octagonal hat, shaking his belly with a swaying step by step, and quickly said: When you go out, where are you paying attention to these things? If Mr. Liu Yu respects me, we will be called brothers.
Liu Zhao relaxed and said with a smile: No wonder Brother Ao always praised Cheng Touer, saying that Cheng Touer is a man, and he has no airs at all.
Cheng Zongyang is going to beat him up, brothers, don’t be polite, Lao Ao takes the pen, I’m going to fill in the road guide, right?
Of course, Gao Qiu sent someone out in private and would not be called the Imperial Guard. Even Fu'an and others used the title of Cheng's Chamber of Commerce. Each of them had a road quotation to indicate their identity and origin. There were even several blank documents with official seals on the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to an official recognized identity card.
Cheng Zongyang waved to Lu Yin and walked towards him. Fu'an was the deacon of the Chamber of Commerce, Feng Yuan was the accountant, Ao Run and others were all porters and guards in the business, and the two beast barbarians were the powerful soldiers of the Chamber of Commerce.
When Old Man Zhu was unhappy when he saw that he was being filled with a groom, he was unhappy when he traveled around the world and respectfully called him the groom, Xiao Chengzi, change it for the uncle!
Is Bima Wen okay? Cheng Zongyang said, "While he changed it to a horseman, he didn't start to come into contact with brushes until the Six Dynasties. As his cultivation grew, his brushwork became more and more round and more fulfilling. Although he had never copied the inscriptions, he was quite good
After copying, I asked someone to send it to the main hall of the village. Ao Run said: Cheng Touer, why are you here? I just contacted the Chamber of Commerce last night, and they also said that you are in Yiling
Cheng Zongyang put down his pen, can he contact Qingpu? There are a few things I want to explain
Ao Run said: Cheng Toer, here
Although it was a thatched hut, it was cleaned up inside. It was obvious that Ao Run took out a jade plaque, a special place in the quiet room. Mr. Lin ordered that as long as he received a message from the jade plaque, he would be able to contact him within half an hour.
Cheng Zongyang nodded, sat cross-legged, and said: I came directly from the ancient Taiquan Formation, he stopped Ao Run's interrogation, don't say anything about this.
Ao Run exhaled, ^ It's so amazing! How did you do it?
Cheng Zongyang said: I just need to know
Ao Run hurriedly said: Cheng Touer, you are here. I am worried about reporting to you something.
What's up?
I met someone from the Yun family outside the city
Cheng Zongyang's expression moved and he sat upright
I have been in Jiankang for so long. Although I haven't even entered the Yun Mansion, most of the people who come in and out of the Yun family look familiar with the man who is a guard of the Yun family. I met at the city gate the day before yesterday. I wondered why he came to Wudu. Then I thought, could the Yun family have a house here?
Cheng Zongyang's heart was beating, did he admit his mistake?
That's right! I followed quietly and saw a carriage. Although there was no sign, I had seen several people accompanying him. They were the guards next to Master Yun Liu.
He was really right when he transferred Ao Run to Wu. Cheng Zongyang asked: Do you know where they are going?
Ao Run said: I dare not follow too closely, so I stared at a big mansion outside the city from afar. I asked about it and said it was the Yun family's industry.
At this time, a wave of light flashed inside the room, and Cheng Zongyang said: Let's prepare for this matter later, I'll go with you.
Ao Run agreed, and the water mirror that exited the quiet room had been formed, and the slightly flashing waves showed a calm and slightly shy face.
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help laughing. He had a rough and generous person like Wu Zhanwei and Ao Run; there were a man like Qi Yuan and Xu Junfang who talked about people and talked about ghosts; there were a man like Qiu Shaojun who was wise and stupid, and everything was not lingering in his heart; there were a man like Meng Feiqing and Wu Erlang; there were a man like Qin Huizhi and Gao Qiu; there were a man like a romantic person like Xiaohou, and there were also a man like Zhu, who was shameless. Only Lin Yupu was like a big boy next door. Although he was already at the core, he would blush from time to time.
Lin Qingpu saw that he was the head of the family. When he was excited, the water mirror shook randomly and almost interrupted the spell. He quickly concentrated his spirit and entered into meditation. Another person appeared in the mirror, but it was Qin Huizhi.
Qin Hui bowed his hand and said lightly: Although the head of the family's tone is plain, the feeling of relief cannot be hidden.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Hello, Huizhi, I haven't seen you for many days, and the style is still Ah! Qin Huizhi's Way: Since the head of the family entered Canglan, there has been no news. I didn't expect that when I went to Wu, I didn't know how good the little marquis and others were?
Today's message is for this matter. Cheng Zongyang knew that Lin Qingpu's water mirror technique could not last long, so he briefly mentioned the agreement he reached with Mo Rulin and others, and then said: You should immediately send someone to Canglan to hand over to Xu Junfang. If his injury allows, please come and tell the little marquis that I have escaped from danger. Xiao Zi is also here, so that he can rest assured.
Qin Huizhi 2 recorded it, and then said: Half a month ago, my subordinates had sent someone to Yiling to find the young master
Cheng Zongyang frowned and said: Is something wrong?
Since the beginning of summer, grain prices have risen. Many grain stores have used banknotes to exchange them for raising coins to deal with the grain prices. At that time, the gold baht in the warehouse was almost out. Fortunately, Chang Bo sent a gold baht to relieve his urgent needs.
Where did Wu Sangui get the money?
It is the money for the sale of cement in Jiangzhou. Qinhui's way: Jiangzhou now produces 150,000 stones of cement every month. Apart from its own use, it sells nearly 90,000 stones every month, which can make a profit of 50,000 gold baht. He paused for a moment and lowered his voice: Last month, a foot trip in Qingzhou took 50,000 stones at a time, using the certificate of the Black Demon Sea.
Black Demon Sea is quite rich! The agreement signed with Jian Yuji, the Black Demon Sea's share guaranteed for each year was 200,000 stones, and the upper limit was 1 million stones. I thought it would be good if they could guarantee it, but I didn't expect to transport 50,000 stones at a time
At this scale, the cement produced in Jiangzhou is not enough for their own use in one year.
The subordinates have sent someone to investigate the footwork, and a reply will be made soon.
No need to check it. Since Jian Yuji dares to use this family, she is not afraid of others investigating it. Cheng Zongyang focuses on the issues he cares about most. Has the grain price risen sharply?
Qinhui's Way: There are many severe droughts this spring, and it is said that even Qingzhou will have to bear the revenue. The trading volume on the market is only 20% in previous years
Wang Maohong once asked him to hoard grain to help Jin overcome the shortage of food. Now the price of grain harvest has begun to soar before the summer is over. The situation is very bad. Cheng Zongyang pondered for a moment and ordered: Send the situation in various places as soon as possible.
Yes, Qin Huizhi did not dare to delay at all, and said: Another thing is that his subordinates just received the news that the three immortal masters of the Shenxiao Sect had left the customs one after another and had already gone to Jiangzhou to build a Taoist temple for the Song Lord.
Taiyi Zhenzong came forward, Jiangzhou and Song State reached a private agreement, and Jiangzhou provided the venue to build a Taoist temple for Song Lord, which was to make up for the face of Song State. Unexpectedly, Shenxiao Sect intervened and buried a nail directly in his heart. Cheng Zongyang was as fed as he heard the news, but he couldn't turn his face.
Don't be idle at all! Cheng Zongyang said: Send people to Taiyi Zhenzong and the Sofan Temple in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the scholars and people in Jiangzhou respect Buddhism and good ways. Please invite them to build temples and temples in Jiangzhou. All the land is given for free. If cement is required to build a temple, all the places are half price! All the places are outside the city, and the farther away from the riverside, the better! Qin Huizhi hesitated: It may not be a good thing to go on for a long time. Please ask the head of the family to think twice.
Let’s talk about what happened in the future, and pass the level before us first. Cheng Zongyang said: Shenxiao Sect may not dare to take action, so let Boss Meng be more careful
Understanding
Cheng Zongyang glanced at Lin Qingpu who was using his skills. What is the situation in Lin'an? The key point is to tell me
The Wumu Palace has begun to be rebuilt. Because of the tight funds, it is now that the construction of money shops has been slowed down. Merchants have come to exchange them one after another. Although the money is not much, it is not without a small amount of compensation for the grain of Jin. Qi Yuan has a letter, so I have someone to send it to Qin Huizhi smiled. Miss Yan'er and Lan Gu and others are all good, but they are just worried about the young master and keep asking when the young master will come back.
Cheng Zongyang felt warm and said with a smile: I brought her a gift, brother, and I will not go back to Lin'an for the time being, so I will send someone to come here.
Yes, after Qin Huizhi finished speaking, Lin Qingpu's spell was coming to an end, and the water mirror gradually disappeared
Cheng Zong raised up and walked a few steps. Qin Huizhi's ability was beyond doubt. Although Lin'an has a lot of affairs, he must be able to deal with the situation later. The situation was clearer. The Song State insisted on using troops to Jiangzhou. Jia Shixian was equivalent to being cheated by the Song State. Among them, Song Lord even added fuel to the fire and attacked Jia Shixian's power in the army.
Now Jiangzhou has no external troubles. It is a period of rapid development. With Meng Da in charge, Shenxiao Sect can't do anything even if it is to worry about the only thing that is food. Jin State lacks harvest, Song State lacks harvest, and even Qingzhou is lacking. Once a famine occurs, there will be civil storms. The average yield per mu of the Six Dynasties is only one or two stones. The best land yield per mu is only four stones, which is only four or five hundred kilograms, less than one-third of the future generations. Unfortunately, he does not have the ability to turn stones into gold, so he can change all the rice seeds at random.
Cheng Zongyang pushed the door out, Lao Ao! Prepare the horse!
Ao Run responded and led the horse out.
Wool! Wool! At this time, the dog barking came, but Xiao Zi asked someone to fetch water and threw Xuexue into a wooden barrel to take a bath
Xuexue's two little claws were lying on the edge of the bucket and trying hard to jump out, but unfortunately her legs were too short and she couldn't climb out for a long time.
Cheng Zongyang went over and hugged Xiao Zi and said in her ear: Yao'er might be here, I'll go and see it
Xiao Zi handed him a piece of rope and took it
What to do?
Xiao Zi smiled and said: If the Yun family refuses, tie your Yao'er up.
What a joke! Cheng Zongyang threw the rope aside and sighed in his heart. He knew that the real trouble had not begun yet
Wait for me at home, don’t run around. Cheng Zongyang raised his voice and said: Go out and fight hares, is anyone here?
Old man Zhu ran out wildly, me! me!
Cheng Zongyang and Ao Run rode their horses out of the city. Not far east, they saw a big river Ao Run was not idle either. They had already found out the situation in the city and pointed out: This is the Wuyang River. The trees cut down from the mountain flowing down from Shouyang Mountain are tied into wooden rafts and put them down from this river for another month. When the logging season is peak, the rafts in the river can cover half of the river.
Cheng Zongyang pointed at both sides of the Wuyang River. Aren’t these the fiefs of the Pi family?
The river bank needs to be built with silted fields, so the family cannot handle it. Therefore, the river channel and the land within a hundred steps next to the bank belong to the official land.
Cheng Zongyang had seen the scene of drifting wood hooking in the mountain. At that time, he was wondering why he didn't put the trees directly downstream, but had to risk dragging them onto the shore. Now he realized that the river channel that came out of the mountain belonged to the government. If it was not tied into wooden rafts for sale as goods, it would become a drifting item downstream.
Cheng Zongyang said: The Han Dynasty is clear about public and private affairs
Ao Run said: Old Ao couldn't understand the various things here, but Old Ao heard the complaints from the little retainer of the Marquis of Pingting, saying that although the title of the Marquis was glorious, the Marquis was the emperor's fraternity. If a crime of disrespect can be eliminated, it is safer than the local wealthy family who can keep wealth and honor.
Cheng Zongyang said: The rich family are afraid of destroying their families! Not to mention the prefect, even the county magistrate can't afford to offend them.
Old Man Zhu smiled, otherwise the local tyrants would be crowded with filial and honest people!
Old man, are you familiar with these?
That's not! Old Man Zhu blew his beard and said: The uncle has also purified filial piety and integrity before.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Have you raised it?
Old man Zhu said without blushing: It's a little bit short, just a little bit short.
I also thought about becoming an emperor, but I almost became an emperor
Oh, Xiao Chengzi, have you done this too?
You are the emperor?
Old man Zhu smiled and said: That's just a little bit
Cheng Zongyang ignored him, Lao Ao, have you arrived?
Ao Run held up the whip and said, ‘It’s all after passing this forest!
After a moment, Cheng Zongyang looked at the building in front of him and said in shock: Lao Ao, is this the big mansion you mentioned?
Ao Run said confidently ‘^ That’s right! That’s it!
Let's talk nonsense? Whose house is built like this!'
In front is a trench nearly three meters wide, with only half of the water in the trench. The exposed trench is enough to be high. Under the water, you can vaguely see rows of sharpened Muchun trenches behind it is a 500-step high wall. There is a watchtower built every 100 steps on the wall. There is a plank road between the buildings and the four corners of each with a viewing building of more than ten meters high. There is also an iron chain with a thickness of arms hanging in front of the gate.
Is this a house? It's all caught up with the city!
Ao Run scratched his head, the houses in the countryside of Han are like this
This is called a fort! Old Man Zhu said with a wide mouth: All the local tyrants in the Han Dynasty like to build such houses. Do you see the granary? At least one hundred thousand stones of grain can be stored! There are gold, silver and silk mountains inside... Tsk tsk! I said Xiao Chengzi, you will be sent if you want to capture one!
You're crazy! Cheng Zongyang shouted, looked at it with a blank face for a while, and murmured: The cement agency rights in Han Dynasty must not be given to one, the market is too big... Do it! This fort alone can sell 100,000 stones!
Ao Run raised his thumbs up, no wonder it was Cheng Touer! It was business in his eyes! Even if Lao Ao wanted to break his head, he would never think of this Cheng Touer. Lao Ao was right to follow you!
Are you flattering?
Ao Run said angrily: Touer Cheng! You can scold me, but you can't insult me! Although Lao Ao is illiterate, he is strong! What can I do to flatter me? All I say is heart-to-heart!
Don't shout! Someone 0
A few figures appeared on the wall, as if they were looking here
Ao Run said: Head Cheng, I'll say hello
Cheng Zongyang stopped him, no, I'll go by myself
Old man Zhu blinked and said: What's wrong? What's wrong? Didn't you say it's easy to get a rabbit to eat?
Cheng Zongyang cyclone to the trench, then jumped off his horse and said loudly: Junior Cheng Zongyang, come to visit Master Yun Liu.
There was a commotion on the wall, and then the suspension bridge was rolled down. A guard rode out and bowed: It was indeed Young Master Cheng!
Cheng Zongyang said in surprise: Do you know me?
The guard smiled and said: The young man had seen the young master in Lin'an. He saw it from a distance and had sent someone to report to the third master.
Cheng Zongyang was delighted, Brother Yun is here too?
A dry cough sounded from a distance. Cheng Zongyang looked up and saw Yun Cangfeng standing in the door hole with his hands behind his back. Before he could approach, Yun Cangfeng said with a stern face: If Brother Cheng comes to be a lobbyist for the little marquis, please go back.
As soon as we met, Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly: Brother Yun, don’t be angry, it’s okay for me to come this time to have nothing to do with the little marquis
When Cheng Zongyang said this, Yun Cangfeng's face became even more ugly. He swung his sleeves and left, directly treating him as air.
Cheng Zongyang regretted it so much that his intestines were blushed. It was all his fault that he was so happy that he took the blame for the little fox. The Yun family still thought it was Xiao Yaoyi's good thing. If he came to be a lobbyist for the little marquis, he would definitely not have a good face to see such a thing. The little marquis is like nothing happened, and the Yun family is even more angry.
Cheng Zongyang took off his backpack from his saddle, followed behind Yun Cangfeng for a few steps, and said with a smile: Brother Yun, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you every day
Humph! The little marquis relied on his identity to not take our Yun family seriously. Do you think our Yun family is easy to bully?
Brother Yun calms down, please listen to my explanation for this matter...
What is there to explain! Yun Cangfeng's anger has not subsided. It is said that family scandals should not be made public, but I am not afraid of you. If the Xiao family does such a conscience, the little marquis doesn't come to kowtow and admit their mistakes. My Yun family and their Lanling Xiao family are definitely not finished! Yi Cheng Zongyang said to you: Aren't I here? If I kowtow and admit my mistakes, I will kowtow to you immediately. Although this matter was taken by Yao's initiative, I can't even say it's his wrong conscience! Who would have thought that Yao's daughter would get pregnant?
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Brother Yun, you are used to traveling around the world and seeing rare treasures. I have got a few good things this time, I want to ask my brother to take a look.
Yun Cangfeng frowned and said, "Isn't it really for the little marquis?"
Cheng Zongyang gritted his teeth and said: It's really not
Yun Cangfeng stomped his feet and said with hatred: I'm so angry! Come on! Please come! Our Yun family will never give up until the Xiao family is destroyed!
Brother Yun, wait! Let’s see the things first!
Yun Cangfeng roared a few times and suddenly lowered his voice. What does the surname Xiao mean? Our Yun family also needs shame, and if you drag it on, you can only turn your face.
Brother Yun, don’t worry, I’m here to solve this problem. Cheng Zongyang said: I must satisfy you no matter what.
How do you solve it? The person surnamed Xiao became a turtle...
Before Yun Cangfeng could finish his speech, a guard hurried in. Third Master, Sixth Master is invited.
Yun Cangfeng didn't bother to say much, I'll go see Lao Liu, you're waiting here
Cheng Zongyang has lost contact with Lin'an since he entered Canglan. Although he has met Feng Yuan, Feng Dafa doesn't know much about Lin'an's situation. Ao Run has the Longjing Jade refined by Lin Qingpu. He can take the initiative to contact Lin Qingpu. Cheng Zongyang also has it, but it fails when entering Canglan. I don't know if it is because of radiation.
Cheng Zongyang's top priority was to restore contact with Lin'an, send a message to Yiling's semi-colon, and ask them to go to Canglan to meet Mo Rulin and others, and at the same time tell Wu Er and the little fox his whereabouts so that they won't wait blindly
The dancers were at the foot of Shouyang Mountain. Cheng Zongyang asked Feng Yuan's horses and took Old Man Zhu and Xiao Zi to walk all the way. He rushed to the city just after noon.
The city of Wudu is magnificent. Its area is not inferior to the well-known city of the Six Dynasties, but it lacks many complex and gorgeous decorations and exquisite curves. The eaves of the official office are generally large, but there are few flowing eaves. Instead, they are simple straight lines and thickly pressed on the beams. Round tiles are arranged under the eaves, with various cloud patterns, bird patterns, beast patterns, insect patterns, flower and bird patterns and text patterns drawn on them; below are huge wooden pillars, with painted all over the columns, solemn and steady.
Compared to Lin'an, every inch of land is much more empty, and there is also a large wasteland in the city, which seems to be vast and sparsely populated. Most of the roads are ox carts, and the roads are padded with loess. The deep ruts are printed with pedestrians and young men who are galloping on horseback. Most of them carry swords and swords. It can be seen that the people are brave and the martial arts style is very prosperous.
Ao Run did not live in the inn, but Fu'an and others rented a house together to settle in Han Dynasty. Most of the houses were rammed with loess walls. After smearing, white ash was painted. Most of the roofs were tart and grass, and occasionally a few were made of tiles.
When Cheng Zongyang arrived, several men were holding bundles of thatched grass and mud to repair the roof, Ao Run squatted under a big locust tree, biting his fingers and holding his breath.
Cheng Zongyang asked in confusion: What are you doing?
Don't make noise, don't make noise! I'm almost remembering this word... Ao Run racked his brains and patted his forehead, and suddenly stood up, "Taoer Cheng!" It's you? Why is there no news at all?
Cheng Zongyang took the wood chips in his hand, which were written in a few lines of ink. What was it?
The official gave it to the official, saying that the government ordered the outsiders to fill in their names, hometowns, and address. One was hung outside the door and the other was handed over to the official.
Then fill in it
Ao Run grunted twice, lowered her head with a sarcastic eyebrow and said in a low voice: I can't read...
Then why are you grinding with a blind ball? Where is Fu'an?
A man jumped off the roof and said with a smile: The rich butler is drunk and has not woken up yet
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Did you drink it early in the morning?
Last night last night! Ao Run quickly said: Yesterday, the rich brother celebrated his birthday, and the brothers set up a table of banquets, but as soon as they felt like they were drunk
The man bowed to Cheng Zongyang with his fists, and said, "The Imperial Guard, Zuo Yuhou, is this man probably Cheng Yuanwai?"
Hearing the official's help, Cheng Zongyang imagined the appearance of a squire wearing an octagonal hat, shaking his belly with a swaying step by step, and quickly said: When you go out, where are you paying attention to these things? If Mr. Liu Yu respects me, we will be called brothers.
Liu Zhao relaxed and said with a smile: No wonder Brother Ao always praised Cheng Touer, saying that Cheng Touer is a man, and he has no airs at all.
Cheng Zongyang is going to beat him up, brothers, don’t be polite, Lao Ao takes the pen, I’m going to fill in the road guide, right?
Of course, Gao Qiu sent someone out in private and would not be called the Imperial Guard. Even Fu'an and others used the title of Cheng's Chamber of Commerce. Each of them had a road quotation to indicate their identity and origin. There were even several blank documents with official seals on the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to an official recognized identity card.
Cheng Zongyang waved to Lu Yin and walked towards him. Fu'an was the deacon of the Chamber of Commerce, Feng Yuan was the accountant, Ao Run and others were all porters and guards in the business, and the two beast barbarians were the powerful soldiers of the Chamber of Commerce.
When Old Man Zhu was unhappy when he saw that he was being filled with a groom, he was unhappy when he traveled around the world and respectfully called him the groom, Xiao Chengzi, change it for the uncle!
Is Bima Wen okay? Cheng Zongyang said, "While he changed it to a horseman, he didn't start to come into contact with brushes until the Six Dynasties.

After copying, I asked someone to send it to the main hall of the village. Ao Run said: Cheng Touer, why are you here? I just contacted the Chamber of Commerce last night, and they also said that you are in Yiling
Cheng Zongyang put down his pen, can he contact Qingpu? There are a few things I want to explain
Ao Run said: Cheng Toer, here
Although it was a thatched hut, it was cleaned up inside. It was obvious that Ao Run took out a jade plaque, a special place in the quiet room. Mr. Lin ordered that as long as he received a message from the jade plaque, he would be able to contact him within half an hour.

At this time, a wave of light flashed inside the room, and Cheng Zongyang said: Let's prepare for this matter later, I'll go with you.

Cheng Zongyang couldn't help laughing. He had a rough and generous person like Wu Zhanwei and Ao Run; there were a man like Qi Yuan and Xu Junfang who talked about people and talked about ghosts; there were a man like Qiu Shaojun who was wise and stupid, and everything was not lingering in his heart; there were a man like Meng Feiqing and Wu Erlang; there were a man like Qin Huizhi and Gao Qiu; there were a man like a romantic person like Xiaohou, and there were also a man like Zhu, who was shameless.

Lin Qingpu saw that he was the head of the family. When he was excited, the water mirror shook randomly and almost interrupted the spell. He quickly concentrated his spirit and entered into meditation. Another person appeared in the mirror, but it was Qin Huizhi.
Qin Hui bowed his hand and said lightly: Although the head of the family's tone is plain, the feeling of relief cannot be hidden.

Today's message is for this matter. Cheng Zongyang knew that Lin Qingpu's water mirror technique could not last long, so he briefly mentioned the agreement he reached with Mo Rulin and others, and then said: You should immediately send someone to Canglan to hand over to Xu Junfang. If his injury allows, please come and tell the little marquis that I have escaped from danger. Xiao Zi is also here, so that he can rest assured.
Qin Huizhi 2 recorded it, and then said: Half a month ago, my subordinates had sent someone to Yiling to find the young master
Cheng Zongyang frowned and said: Is something wrong?
Since the beginning of summer, grain prices have risen. Many grain stores have used banknotes to exchange them for raising coins to deal with the grain prices. At that time, the gold baht in the warehouse was almost out. Fortunately, Chang Bo sent a gold baht to relieve his urgent needs.
Where did Wu Sangui get the money?
It is the money for the sale of cement in Jiangzhou. Qinhui's way: Jiangzhou now produces 150,000 stones of cement every month. Apart from its own use, it sells nearly 90,000 stones every month, which can make a profit of 50,000 gold baht. He paused for a moment and lowered his voice: Last month, a foot trip in Qingzhou took 50,000 stones at a time, using the certificate of the Black Demon Sea.
Black Demon Sea is quite rich! The agreement signed with Jian Yuji, the Black Demon Sea's share guaranteed for each year was 200,000 stones, and the upper limit was 1 million stones. I thought it would be good if they could guarantee it, but I didn't expect to transport 50,000 stones at a time
At this scale, the cement produced in Jiangzhou is not enough for their own use in one year.
The subordinates have sent someone to investigate the footwork, and a reply will be made soon.
No need to check it. Since Jian Yuji dares to use this family, she is not afraid of others investigating it. Cheng Zongyang focuses on the issues he cares about most. Has the grain price risen sharply?
Qinhui's Way: There are many severe droughts this spring, and it is said that even Qingzhou will have to bear the revenue. The trading volume on the market is only 20% in previous years
Wang Maohong once asked him to hoard grain to help Jin overcome the shortage of food. Now the price of grain harvest has begun to soar before the summer is over. The situation is very bad. Cheng Zongyang pondered for a moment and ordered: Send the situation in various places as soon as possible.
Yes, Qin Huizhi did not dare to delay at all, and said: Another thing is that his subordinates just received the news that the three immortal masters of the Shenxiao Sect had left the customs one after another and had already gone to Jiangzhou to build a Taoist temple for the Song Lord.
Taiyi Zhenzong came forward, Jiangzhou and Song State reached a private agreement, and Jiangzhou provided the venue to build a Taoist temple for Song Lord, which was to make up for the face of Song State. Unexpectedly, Shenxiao Sect intervened and buried a nail directly in his heart. Cheng Zongyang was as fed as he heard the news, but he couldn't turn his face.
Don't be idle at all! Cheng Zongyang said: Send people to Taiyi Zhenzong and the Sofan Temple in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the scholars and people in Jiangzhou respect Buddhism and good ways. Please invite them to build temples and temples in Jiangzhou. All the land is given for free. If cement is required to build a temple, all the places are half price! All the places are outside the city, and the farther away from the riverside, the better! Qin Huizhi hesitated: It may not be a good thing to go on for a long time. Please ask the head of the family to think twice.
Let’s talk about what happened in the future, and pass the level before us first. Cheng Zongyang said: Shenxiao Sect may not dare to take action, so let Boss Meng be more careful
Understanding
Cheng Zongyang glanced at Lin Qingpu who was using his skills. What is the situation in Lin'an? The key point is to tell me
The Wumu Palace has begun to be rebuilt. Because of the tight funds, it is now that the construction of money shops has been slowed down. Merchants have come to exchange them one after another. Although the money is not much, it is not without a small amount of compensation for the grain of Jin. Qi Yuan has a letter, so I have someone to send it to Qin Huizhi smiled. Miss Yan'er and Lan Gu and others are all good, but they are just worried about the young master and keep asking when the young master will come back.
Cheng Zongyang felt warm and said with a smile: I brought her a gift, brother, and I will not go back to Lin'an for the time being, so I will send someone to come here.
Yes, after Qin Huizhi finished speaking, Lin Qingpu's spell was coming to an end, and the water mirror gradually disappeared
Cheng Zong raised up and walked a few steps. Qin Huizhi's ability was beyond doubt. Although Lin'an has a lot of affairs, he must be able to deal with the situation later. The situation was clearer. The Song State insisted on using troops to Jiangzhou. Jia Shixian was equivalent to being cheated by the Song State. Among them, Song Lord even added fuel to the fire and attacked Jia Shixian's power in the army.
Now Jiangzhou has no external troubles. It is a period of rapid development. With Meng Da in charge, Shenxiao Sect can't do anything even if it is to worry about the only thing that is food. Jin State lacks harvest, Song State lacks harvest, and even Qingzhou is lacking. Once a famine occurs, there will be civil storms. The average yield per mu of the Six Dynasties is only one or two stones. The best land yield per mu is only four stones, which is only four or five hundred kilograms, less than one-third of the future generations. Unfortunately, he does not have the ability to turn stones into gold, so he can change all the rice seeds at random.
Cheng Zongyang pushed the door out, Lao Ao! Prepare the horse!
Ao Run responded and led the horse out.
Wool! Wool! At this time, the dog barking came, but Xiao Zi asked someone to fetch water and threw Xuexue into a wooden barrel to take a bath
Xuexue's two little claws were lying on the edge of the bucket and trying hard to jump out, but unfortunately her legs were too short and she couldn't climb out for a long time.
Cheng Zongyang went over and hugged Xiao Zi and said in her ear: Yao'er might be here, I'll go and see it
Xiao Zi handed him a piece of rope and took it
What to do?
Xiao Zi smiled and said: If the Yun family refuses, tie your Yao'er up.
What a joke! Cheng Zongyang threw the rope aside and sighed in his heart. He knew that the real trouble had not begun yet
Wait for me at home, don’t run around. Cheng Zongyang raised his voice and said: Go out and fight hares, is anyone here?
Old man Zhu ran out wildly, me! me!
Cheng Zongyang and Ao Run rode their horses out of the city. Not far east, they saw a big river Ao Run was not idle either. They had already found out the situation in the city and pointed out: This is the Wuyang River. The trees cut down from the mountain flowing down from Shouyang Mountain are tied into wooden rafts and put them down from this river for another month. When the logging season is peak, the rafts in the river can cover half of the river.
Cheng Zongyang pointed at both sides of the Wuyang River. Aren’t these the fiefs of the Pi family?
The river bank needs to be built with silted fields, so the family cannot handle it. Therefore, the river channel and the land within a hundred steps next to the bank belong to the official land.
Cheng Zongyang had seen the scene of drifting wood hooking in the mountain. At that time, he was wondering why he didn't put the trees directly downstream, but had to risk dragging them onto the shore. Now he realized that the river channel that came out of the mountain belonged to the government. If it was not tied into wooden rafts for sale as goods, it would become a drifting item downstream.
Cheng Zongyang said: The Han Dynasty is clear about public and private affairs
Ao Run said: Old Ao couldn't understand the various things here, but Old Ao heard the complaints from the little retainer of the Marquis of Pingting, saying that although the title of the Marquis was glorious, the Marquis was the emperor's fraternity. If a crime of disrespect can be eliminated, it is safer than the local wealthy family who can keep wealth and honor.
Cheng Zongyang said: The rich family are afraid of destroying their families! Not to mention the prefect, even the county magistrate can't afford to offend them.
Old Man Zhu smiled, otherwise the local tyrants would be crowded with filial and honest people!
Old man, are you familiar with these?
That's not! Old Man Zhu blew his beard and said: The uncle has also purified filial piety and integrity before.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Have you raised it?
Old man Zhu said without blushing: It's a little bit short, just a little bit short.
I also thought about becoming an emperor, but I almost became an emperor
Oh, Xiao Chengzi, have you done this too?
You are the emperor?
Old man Zhu smiled and said: That's just a little bit
Cheng Zongyang ignored him, Lao Ao, have you arrived?
Ao Run held up the whip and said, ‘It’s all after passing this forest!
After a moment, Cheng Zongyang looked at the building in front of him and said in shock: Lao Ao, is this the big mansion you mentioned?
Ao Run said confidently ‘^ That’s right! That’s it!
Let's talk nonsense? Whose house is built like this!'
In front is a trench nearly three meters wide, with only half of the water in the trench. The exposed trench is enough to be high. Under the water, you can vaguely see rows of sharpened Muchun trenches behind it is a 500-step high wall. There is a watchtower built every 100 steps on the wall. There is a plank road between the buildings and the four corners of each with a viewing building of more than ten meters high. There is also an iron chain with a thickness of arms hanging in front of the gate.
Is this a house? It's all caught up with the city!
Ao Run scratched his head, the houses in the countryside of Han are like this
This is called a fort! Old Man Zhu said with a wide mouth: All the local tyrants in the Han Dynasty like to build such houses. Do you see the granary? At least one hundred thousand stones of grain can be stored! There are gold, silver and silk mountains inside... Tsk tsk! I said Xiao Chengzi, you will be sent if you want to capture one!
You're crazy! Cheng Zongyang shouted, looked at it with a blank face for a while, and murmured: The cement agency rights in Han Dynasty must not be given to one, the market is too big... Do it! This fort alone can sell 100,000 stones!
Ao Run raised his thumbs up, no wonder it was Cheng Touer! It was business in his eyes! Even if Lao Ao wanted to break his head, he would never think of this Cheng Touer. Lao Ao was right to follow you!
Are you flattering?
Ao Run said angrily: Touer Cheng! You can scold me, but you can't insult me! Although Lao Ao is illiterate, he is strong! What can I do to flatter me? All I say is heart-to-heart!
Don't shout! Someone 0
A few figures appeared on the wall, as if they were looking here
Ao Run said: Head Cheng, I'll say hello
Cheng Zongyang stopped him, no, I'll go by myself
Old man Zhu blinked and said: What's wrong? What's wrong? Didn't you say it's easy to get a rabbit to eat?
Cheng Zongyang cyclone to the trench, then jumped off his horse and said loudly: Junior Cheng Zongyang, come to visit Master Yun Liu.
There was a commotion on the wall, and then the suspension bridge was rolled down. A guard rode out and bowed: It was indeed Young Master Cheng!
Cheng Zongyang said in surprise: Do you know me?
The guard smiled and said: The young man had seen the young master in Lin'an. He saw it from a distance and had sent someone to report to the third master.
Cheng Zongyang was delighted, Brother Yun is here too?
A dry cough sounded from a distance. Cheng Zongyang looked up and saw Yun Cangfeng standing in the door hole with his hands behind his back. Before he could approach, Yun Cangfeng said with a stern face: If Brother Cheng comes to be a lobbyist for the little marquis, please go back.
As soon as we met, Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly: Brother Yun, don’t be angry, it’s okay for me to come this time to have nothing to do with the little marquis
When Cheng Zongyang said this, Yun Cangfeng's face became even more ugly. He swung his sleeves and left, directly treating him as air.
Cheng Zongyang regretted it so much that his intestines were blushed. It was all his fault that he was so happy that he took the blame for the little fox. The Yun family still thought it was Xiao Yaoyi's good thing. If he came to be a lobbyist for the little marquis, he would definitely not have a good face to see such a thing. The little marquis is like nothing happened, and the Yun family is even more angry.
Cheng Zongyang took off his backpack from his saddle, followed behind Yun Cangfeng for a few steps, and said with a smile: Brother Yun, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you every day
Humph! The little marquis relied on his identity to not take our Yun family seriously. Do you think our Yun family is easy to bully?
Brother Yun calms down, please listen to my explanation for this matter...
What is there to explain! Yun Cangfeng's anger has not subsided. It is said that family scandals should not be made public, but I am not afraid of you. If the Xiao family does such a conscience, the little marquis doesn't come to kowtow and admit their mistakes. My Yun family and their Lanling Xiao family are definitely not finished! Yi Cheng Zongyang said to you: Aren't I here? If I kowtow and admit my mistakes, I will kowtow to you immediately. Although this matter was taken by Yao's initiative, I can't even say it's his wrong conscience! Who would have thought that Yao's daughter would get pregnant?
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Brother Yun, you are used to traveling around the world and seeing rare treasures. I have got a few good things this time, I want to ask my brother to take a look.
Yun Cangfeng frowned and said, "Isn't it really for the little marquis?"
Cheng Zongyang gritted his teeth and said: It's really not
Yun Cangfeng stomped his feet and said with hatred: I'm so angry! Come on! Please come! Our Yun family will never give up until the Xiao family is destroyed!
Brother Yun, wait! Let’s see the things first!
Yun Cangfeng roared a few times and suddenly lowered his voice. What does the surname Xiao mean? Our Yun family also needs shame, and if you drag it on, you can only turn your face.
Brother Yun, don’t worry, I’m here to solve this problem. Cheng Zongyang said: I must satisfy you no matter what.
How do you solve it? The person surnamed Xiao became a turtle...
Before Yun Cangfeng could finish his speech, a guard hurried in. Third Master, Sixth Master is invited.
Yun Cangfeng didn't bother to say much, I'll go see Lao Liu, you're waiting here
