Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 18
Early the next morning, magpies barked outside the door, as if telling people that good things were coming.

The business of their small shop has exploded again. People who have never seen stir-fried vegetables have no resistance at all when they see fried buns and fried noodles. Those who are a little richer will bite their teeth and buy a taste to feel the novel taste. Then there was another loud compliment, and soon there was a long queue in front of their house again.

One morning, conservatively estimated, their net profit was around [-] pennies, and the speed at which they made money was simply outrageous.

However, neither Sun Chunming nor Sun Yue could be happy.

Lao Fang and the others came today as promised, still clamoring to eat meat for work, but everyone was wearing a vest with pockets on both sides of the vest, which happened to hold two knives.

This is called stabbing two ribs. This knife is not inserted casually. Inserting these two things means advancing together and retreating together, living together and dying together. These veterans are really ready to kill.

Lao Fang did not work with the big guys, nor did he help Sun Chunming and the others sell breakfast, but leaned lazily on the door frame of their house, with a tender willow branch in his mouth, tilted his head and shook his feet, A particularly frivolous look looked at everyone passing by.

It wasn't until the people who bought food in the morning gradually dispersed and the materials prepared before were finished that Sun Chunming was slightly relieved.

I packed a big bag of the copper wallet I received in the morning without counting it, and put it directly in front of Lao Fang and said, "Brother Fang, it's cold, take this money to share with the brothers and buy a few glasses of turbid wine to drink." , warm up your body."

Lao Fang didn't get up from the door frame, looked up at Sun Chunming with squinted eyes, and said with a smile, "What's the point, brother, this is a bit out of the ordinary, and I'm a little unhappy about it."

Sun Chunming smiled and said: "Brother Fang, don't misunderstand. Since we are brothers, we should have the same blessings and share the same hardships. You can't just watch us eat meat and you drink soup. You should keep the money first, and the rest of the wine will be for the time being." Stay with you, you brothers don't treat me as an outsider, you are all my elder brothers, and the elder brothers don't have a stable job now, this is my business."

Lao Fang sat up immediately after hearing the words, "Brother, you mean to say that you have found a place for us brothers to eat?"

Lao Fang was excited. You must know that he saw them working hard this morning, earning tens of pennies with ease. If he was not envious, how could it be possible?

After they went back last night, they did not complain about Lao Cao's good luck, especially now that the members of Lao Cao's family are all greasy and fat, and they are sour. Vinegar is used.

"I just have some ideas, and I will talk to everyone when the brothers are free in the evening."

Lao Fang laughed loudly and said: "Okay, you scholars have good brains, then I will listen to you, and I will keep the money."

As he was talking, a group of imperial guards suddenly came from the south. Looking at their clothes, they should be from the Department of Guards, and they walked over casually.

The leader squinted at Sun Chunming and said, "You are the scholar who opened the soup cake shop? I heard that your soup cakes are excellent. Come, how many can I give you to try the whole two bowls?"

Sun Chunming's expression turned bitter. It's getting hotter these days, and nine out of ten it's probably because the person who came was not kind.

Just as he was waiting for an explanation, he heard Lao Fang shouting in surprise behind him: "Old Qian? Straight mother thief, why did you come here?"

The soldier at the head was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw Lao Fang leaning against the door, and asked in surprise, "Old Fang?"

The two actually knew each other.

The leader of the soldiers looked at Lao Fang's appearance, especially the two knives stuck in the vest, and couldn't help frowning: "Why, you are covering this family?"

Lao Fang said stiffly, "Not bad."

"Can you save face? Brother, I was also greeted by someone. Today I came to find fault."

Sun Chunming's face turned green. How arrogant is he to speak so bluntly in front of the Lord?

Lao Fang shook his head and said: "I really can't afford to give this face today. Old Qian, we were brothers who killed Khitan together before. I think back then, I was one level older than you. I will protect this family and change heads. Let me ask you, can you show me some face?"

Bingtou frowned and said, "You can't keep it."

"Why, don't you give me face?"

"I can go, but I'm not the only one in the bodyguard department. Wait until tomorrow, and someone you don't know will come over, so what can you do? Can you still fight with us imperial guards in the street?"

Lao Fang didn't speak, but silently pulled out the knife in his ribs and played with it seriously.

"You still dare to kill the imperial army? Old Fang, let me advise you. Although the new officials are benevolent, this is a change of dynasty after all. It's really a big mess. If you label yourself with the old dynasty, no one can save you."

Sun Yue couldn't help it when she heard the words, she rushed out and said angrily: "Are you kidding, the imperial army and their Wang family opened it? They are just cousins ​​who are all commanders. How can they command the imperial army?"

Old Qian said embarrassingly: "Hey... Hey, it's because of your bad luck. Before the good time, the new official will split the guard horse army into two divisions, the guard horse army and the guard infantry. The number of people needs to be expanded. At present, Wang Yansheng is a popular figure in the guard horse infantry. You know, the official family used to be the head of the Dianqian Division, so these leaders in the Guard Division can not worship many Buddhas, so it is so important At the moment, to be honest, it is not impossible for his cousin to find a captain to help him do things, or you guys... hide."

Hearing this, Sun Chunming was almost in despair. He has been in the system all his life, and he understands what reorganization and expansion mean. It is no wonder that those middle and low-level leaders are not crazy. It is also a critical period for buying things and giving gifts. For thousands of years, there has never been a shortage of rats who are willing to be cattle and horses for the leaders.

As the soldier said, he saved face this time, what about next time?Don't say that they can't fight, don't they really dare to kill the imperial army?

Only Sun Yue, after hearing the news, not only did not panic, but his eyes glistened!
Seeing Sun Chunming squatting aside with a sad face, Sun Yue hurried over and said, "Father, I have a solution."

Sun Chunming was overjoyed, and hurriedly carried him to a deserted place, and asked eagerly, "What can I do? Tell me!"

"It's simple, just find a backer who is bigger than Wang Yansheng."

"Look for a backer who is bigger than Wang Yansheng?"

"There is one person that Wang Yansheng absolutely cannot afford to offend."

"Who?"

"Zhao Guangyi!"

"Are you crazy? What is your identity, what are our identities, why should you stand up for you?"

Sun Yue said confidently: "In normal times, no one would be willing to go against the famous people of the official family for me as a commoner, but now that the Guards Department is split up and expanded, you think Zhao Guangyi is not jealous? Yu Gong said that the Song Dynasty wants to To increase the influence of civil servants on the army, Zhao Kuangyin also needs his brother to hold on to the situation as soon as possible, privately speaking, we don't know what kind of virtue Zhao Guangyi is, and he is willing to miss such a good opportunity to arrange private affairs?"

Sun Chunming pondered for a while, and felt that this was a way to survive, and said: "But he is a prince, and we are just common people, how can we meet him?"

Sun Yue smiled even more happily: "Dad, it's governing the world now, not the troubled times. In troubled times, you should kill people. If you rule the world, you can report to the officials. Isn't he the governor of Kaifeng mansion? No one has knocked it before, but I don’t know if it still rings now.”
