Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Brother Wang. Hearing the voice downstairs, another person walked upstairs. When he saw Ling Qingyu, he asked unconsciously: The boss?

Ling Qingyu looked up and saw that it was Han Xie. He remembered that there was a literary gathering he said today, and he was afraid it would be here, so he smiled and said, I'm here to read a book. I'm going back first. You two can chat slowly.

After bowing to Wang Xuanzhi, Ling Qingyu put the book back, walked out of the door, and called Yan San to leave slowly.

Brother Han, aren't you going to continue? Wang Xuanzhi asked when he saw Han Xie was about to leave.

Han Xuan smiled and said: The head of the family once said that scholars' idle talk is the most harmful to the country. Nothing can be accomplished just by talking. He glanced at the people upstairs with a mocking look and bowed to Wang Xuanzhi. Go in a hurry.

Han Zong caught up with Ling Qingyu around the corner.

Wenhui? Ling Qingyu looked at the library and asked.

A bunch of corrupt scholars, Han Zong said bitterly, I don't mean that the court is corrupt, I just say that the people are disobedient to education. In such a troubled year, they have to increase taxes to build a college.

Ling Qingyu was also silent. She didn't like politics and had never cared much about the direction of the court. It was just impossible for merchants not to come into contact with the rulers. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was still prosperous, there were turbulent waves below and taxes were getting heavier and heavier. , natural disasters continue, and rescue is ineffective, resulting in an overflow of refugees. Many officials from various places are enriching their own pockets, but few are serving the country and the people. Fortunately, there is still the Yang Zhaozhao family at the border. If there is no more foreign invasion, what will happen to this country? Don't know how.

Only this Luoyang still looks extravagantly blooming, safe and prosperous, and it doesn't care about so many national affairs. I am doing my business, and there are refugees who help me cultivate land and open up wasteland.

Brother Han, I heard Yang Zhao say that this time the imperial court is negotiating peace with the Liao Kingdom, so the bargaining market will definitely open. I will prepare some goods to deliver when I go back this time. Ling Qingyu said, looking at the bustling markets on both sides.

Well, the silk accumulated in the warehouse is also better, but most of the Liao's procurement is controlled by the government, so we may not be able to get much. Han Ye nodded.

Let's take a look first. You can bring a small amount over this time. Ling Qingyu said.

After walking a few streets, Han Zong went to talk about the shop. Ling Qingyu saw that it was getting late, so he walked back with Yan San.

Yan Qi came back very late at night. Ling Qingyu just didn't know. When he got to bed, he asked Yan San: Do you know what happened?

After being patient for a day and asking, there was progress, Yan San said with a smile: It turned out that when we were still in the training group, there were three of them together. The two older children called him Young Master. I once heard them talking privately, The older child said that we should remember the hatred of the Qian family, and that the treasure of King Wu Yue was inherited by him.

No wonder he is so nervous, it turns out he is from his family. Ling Qingyu said while drawing circles on Yan San's chest bandage with his fingers.

If it is really the treasure, how come everyone knows about it? Why don't you go there secretly? Yan San said calmly, taking off the troublesome hand.

Hey, how can you not care about matters involving your own family? Yan San, if Yan Qi wants to go, can we help? Ling Qingyu hugged Yan San's waist and asked while biting the dogwood.

It's too dangerous. Yan San patted her shoulder and said, Aren't you tired today? If you tease her again, you'll eat it!

Ling Qingyu chuckled softly and rested her head comfortably on his arm. Ling Qingyu was snoring soon.

After she was asleep, Yan San put her head down and got up and went to the yard.

Yan Qi stood under the tree and looked at the sky when he saw him coming out and said, The news was released by the Lord of Ruihua County at the flower party. All the sects and aristocratic families present at the time received invitations to go treasure hunting.

She said, if you want to go, we will go. Yan San sat on the chair next to the stone table and said.

As expected, you know. Yan Qi chuckled, sat next to him, and said, You can't go, this is most likely a trap. The news they sent out said that there is an underground palace near Qiantang, but the specific location is unknown. People know.”

If you want to go, I'll accompany you. Yan San said calmly. I'll accompany you, so she won't get involved, she's the one holding you back.

Don't you think the head of the family is the one who likes to do this kind of thing the most? Yan Qi raised the corner of his eye and asked.

Haha, Yan San chuckled and said, Didn't she make it very clear to you today? Living people are more important than money.

After bowing his head and remaining silent for a long time, Yan Qi said, I won't go.

Yan San patted his shoulder, stood up and went back to his room, leaving him alone in the yard.

When they went out to the streets again the next day, the martial arts people all over the street disappeared without a trace, and Yan Qi didn't mention anything about the treasure again. Ling Qingyu, who was relieved, went to look at the shop seriously with Han Zong, looking for the steward.

At the end of April, news came from Bianjing that the peace negotiation between the imperial court and the Liao State was successful. The two countries stopped fighting and treated each other as brothers. The Zhou Dynasty gave the Liao State one million taels of silver and 800,000 bolts of silk as war compensation, paid in two years. Qing Dynasty, and then set up a market in Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Ansujundaizhou to facilitate trade between the two sides.

At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Chanyuan Alliance only had 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 taels of silk. It was good for the Great Zhou Dynasty, which directly doubled it several times. However, if it is paid in two years instead of a lump sum, then at least the border can have two years. of peace.

Looking at the Di newspaper, Ling Qingyu thought to himself.

Master, this is a letter from General Yang. Han Ye walked into the main room with a smile and placed a letter in front of Ling Qingyu.

What do you say? Ling Qingyu raised his head and asked. With the opening up of trade routes, the Ling family also had its own channel. Naturally, this letter to her was a private letter. Yang Zhao would also write to Han Ye for official matters.

The county has set up a market, and General Yang is responsible for security management. Although the court will send civilian officials to manage it, it will be more or less controlled by General Yang. Han Zong said happily. Although the important cities in the Liao Kingdom are all over Xiongzhou, as long as the trade routes are opened, there is no fear of missing opportunities. The most important thing is that the spice treasures outside the extra story are basically controlled by the Ling family, and no one can match them in terms of price and quantity. Ling family.

In that case, then I will leave for Lingjia Village as soon as possible. You can go there first and settle the local affairs.

yes.

After Han Zong left and Yan San closed the door and went out, Ling Qingyu opened the envelope.

In addition to what Han Shuo said, Yang Zhao also wrote that the Liao Kingdom had made a major mobilization some time ago, swapping the troops originally stationed in Nanyuan with those in Shuozhou, and the newly transferred general was called Shan Fu. He was Xiao Sui's subordinate, and that Xiao Sui was Gu Sui. The Shanfu has already contacted him, and the Liao Kingdom will also open a market in Shuozhou. They can provide war horses, sheep, salt, pearls, jade, fur and other goods, and they want our spices, treasures and food. After signing the agreement, the imperial court planned to lay off some old and weak soldiers. He had 100,000 men, 50,000 of whom were brought out by him, and the other 50,000 were recruits recruited from the refugees and transferred from the northwest. The imperial court wanted to lay off 20,000 of his men. He has already promised that some of them will be transformed directly into the Ling family's wasteland on the spot, and the other part can be arranged to go to their wasteland on Shaanxi Road. Some of the elites can also go to Lingjia Village. The specific arrangement depends on Ling Qingyu, and since he is also an official now, he can be exempted from part of the tax, so he bought a large area of ​​land and some mines near Taiyuan with some money, which will be handed over to Han Qing to manage together, and wrote After a long business trip, the last sentence means the following: The belt you put on for me this time is not very useful. There is always friction. It is best to come back and change it for me as soon as possible.

Ling Qingyu's face turned red when she saw this. He hurried over to see her off early that morning, dragged her to the room and asked her to put on the chastity belt, but the old one was already gone when she unlocked it. It was damaged, so I had no choice but to find another one in the Fatmei box. When I brought it to him, it almost misfired and made him unable to escape. Now that I saw this sentence, I couldn't help but think of Yang Zhao's crimson face at that time. , um, I feel it.

That night, Ling Qingyu, who thought Yan San was not well yet and just wanted to comfort his aroused body, fully understood the first killer's strong resilience. The next day, his feet were so weak that he could hardly get out of bed.

This is unscientific! Ling Qingyu shouted.

Yan San ignored her and fetched water for her to wash up, and also dressed her and combed her hair. He thought to himself, back then I killed ten families in one night and traveled thousands of miles in a month. This small injury is nothing. Who told you to look at Yang Zhao's Believe it or not!

The journey back is still by boat. The Ling family's business network has developed so fast that just one Tie Dao Men guard is not enough. Tie Dun then introduced another gang, the Longmen Gang. This gang has strongholds on both sides of the canal and is mainly responsible for the canal. Ling Qingyu felt that they were more of a coolie alliance than a gang.

What the Ling family wanted was safety, and what Longmen wanted was money and job opportunities. When the two met, they were very harmonious. The leader of the Longmen gang, Cao Datou, saw that Ling Qingyu, a woman, was very straightforward in doing things. Not only did he not bargain with him, but he also gave him a premium He created a reward mechanism, so he said very grandly: Don't worry, Head Ling, as long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to your ship and shop!

Ling Qingyu also imitated him and said with a fist, In that case, I'll leave it to Boss Cao!

Cao Datou laughed heartily and was very happy with this straightforward female head. He said, I heard that Head Ling is not yet married. I have a younger brother at home who is very motivated. I don't know?

Thank you, Boss Cao. Ling is already engaged, but he still has the period of filial piety, so he hasn't gotten married yet. Ling Qingyu said with a smile.

Let me tell you, how could no one want such a good person from the Ling family! Cao Datou rubbed his head and laughed, and was stabbed in the back by Zhu Qing, the deputy gang leader.

Haha. Ling Qingyu could only laugh. This boss Cao was so straightforward.

Then let's get ready first, and we can set off tomorrow. Zhu Qing dragged Cao Datou up and said.

When he got out of the door, Zhu Qing looked at his boss and sighed, Brother, this is a girl's family after all.

Hey, it would be great if she didn't get engaged. Such a capable and cheerful girl will definitely be able to take good care of her second brother. Seeing that Zhu Qing was still frowning, he asked again: What are you thinking about?

The man next to Head Ling always feels a bit like the same person to me. Zhu Qing said. I didn't notice it at first, but when Boss Cao proposed marriage, a familiar murderous look flashed across that man's body.

Cao Datou put his arm around his shoulders, looked around, and whispered: You also think he looks like Yan San? Seeing him nodding, he slapped him hard and said, I knew you were thinking nonsense. How could he be Yan San? Yan San would stand behind a woman and serve her tea and water?

Zhu Qing imagined that Yan San, who had sharp eyes on the top of his head and would draw his sword and kill people if they disagreed, did this kind of thing, he shuddered and felt a chill, and said: I am worrying too much.
