Fenghou

Yang Tianfang smiled and said: "We often receive business to print poetry books, usually only about ten copies are printed. If we carve a set of boards for it, it will take too much time and energy. The key is that the final price must be very expensive. I can't accept it, and it will be invalidated in the future, which is too wasteful.

At this time, it is necessary to use movable type for printing. In the past, movable clay type was used, but clay movable type was easy to be printed, and later it was improved to use wooden movable type. At this time, a typesetting artist was required to quickly find out all wooden movable type and arrange them into printing plates. .

After the printing is finished, the movable type must be put back to the original place without misplacement. This requires very skilled typesetting craftsmen, and it is not easy to train. The apprentices have to arrange movable type for at least five or even ten years before they can be trained. "

Hu Yanlei nodded, "I see, you are the masters I'm looking for."

Yang Tianfang was a little strange when he heard what he said, so he asked tentatively: "Where does the official Huyan come from?"

Huyanlei said with a smile: "Jingzhao!"

Chapter 800 Transfer

Yang Tian stood up vigorously, his eyes widened, "You... who are you?"

No wonder he reacted violently, the word 'Jingzhao' is too sensitive, recently Wanyan Wushu successively issued orders to prohibit the people of the Central Plains from interacting with Jingzhao, and those who disobeyed the order would be punished by the whole family.

At this critical juncture, the other party said that he was from Jingzhao, how could Yang Tianfang not be surprised?

Hu Yanlei said coldly: "If Proprietor Yang thinks he is a big gold citizen, then we have nothing to talk about, and Proprietor Yang can leave."

Yang Tianfang snorted, "Don't use such words to run on me, I'm not a rich man, but you can't fool me."

"I might as well tell Proprietor Yang frankly that I am a general under the command of the King of Lingwu, so I will call Hu Yanlei, and I will come to see Proprietor Yang by order of the King."

"Where's the evidence?"

Hu Yanlei took out a silver medal and put it on the table, "This is my identity card, under the command of the Western Army. If Master Yang thinks this military card is fake, I have nothing to say."

Of course Yang Tianfang would not think that the silver medal was a fake, he is a common man, who would be so boring and go out of his way to deal with him.

Yang Tianfang sat down slowly, pondered for a moment and asked: "Your county king is looking for me because of the previous "Beijing News" incident?"

He is not stupid at all, his only value is the "Beijing News" back then, he was the chief manager, and the other party called him Manager Yang just now.

Hu Yanlei saw that the other party sat down, which meant that the other party did not reject it in his heart, he was secretly happy, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Yang Tianfang, "This is a letter from my county king to Lord Yang, and I am just the messenger. "

Although Yang Tianfang has been dormant for ten years, but ten years ago he dealt with various dignitaries. Even Cai Jing hated him deeply, but he had nothing to do with him. Of course, this was also related to his backstage background. From relatives to home.

Even though he had seen many important figures, Yang Tianfang did not dare to underestimate Chen Qing's autographed letter. He took it respectfully, opened the letter and read it carefully. It is a pity that the "Beijing News" has since been annihilated. He is willing to subsidize Yang Tianfang to re-run the "Beijing News" and make "The Beijing News" the largest newspaper in the world.

Yang Tianfang fell silent for a while, logically, the Beijing News is not his property, he is just a big shopkeeper, Chen Qing wants to take over, he should go to discuss with the Xiang family, but the Xiang family is still a slave in the border town of the North Country, obviously Chen Qing just wants to The name of "Beijing News" is nothing more than that, and then I asked myself to run the newspaper for him.

Thinking of this, Yang Tian was relieved to feel a little proud. Chen Qing invited him, which also showed that he was the No. 1 newspaper in the world.

Of course Yang Tianfang wanted to make a comeback, otherwise what would he do with the fifteen best craftsmen?His engraving club only needs two or three craftsmen.

Yang Tianfang originally wanted to go to Lin'an or Jiangnan to run a newspaper, but he also had concerns. He himself had reached the end of his life and had no money left to run a newspaper. He had to find a sponsor first, but Song and Jin were hostile, so he couldn't go back and forth. When he ran all the time, he had no choice but to go there without hesitation. He took fifteen craftsmen and their families, a total of more than a hundred people, and spent a lot of money to smuggle to the south of the Yangtze River. They starved to death together in Jiangnan.

He couldn't bear this risk, and all craftsmen would not agree to take such a big risk with their families.

Two months ago, when the puppet Qi released the checkpoint to Shaanxi Road, a large number of people fled to Shaanxi Road. Yang Tianfang also had this idea. Just when he was hesitating, Wanyan Wushu came back and issued a prohibition order. They missed it. opportunity.

Now Chen Qing personally sent someone to invite him to go to Jingzhao to run a newspaper, of course Yang Tianfang wanted to go, but thinking of Wanyan Wushu's prohibition order, his heart was heavy and full of worry.

Yang Tianfang sighed, "Even if I want to go, how can I do it? We have fifteen craftsmen, with families leading our mouths, there are hundreds of people, and Jinbing has set up checkpoints everywhere, how can we get there?"

"The point is, does Proprietor Yang want to go to Jingzhao?"

Yang Tianfang nodded, "Of course I'd like to go, I'm almost at the end of my rope, and when I meet a nobleman at this critical moment, why wouldn't I want to go?"

"As long as you want to go, there is a way!"

Hu Yanlei smiled slightly and said, "I can tell Proprietor Yang that I brought more than 100 men here, why didn't Jin Bing checkpoint stop us?"

Yang Tianfang was stunned, and he asked in surprise: "I really can't imagine, how did you come here?"

Hu Yanlei smiled lightly, "The reason is very simple. Wanyan Wushu strictly forbids the people to go west, so we can just go east. There should be no problem going east!"

Yang Tianfang nodded, "It's no problem to go east, then what?"

"Proprietor Yang will know after walking with us. We want to leave as soon as possible before Wanyan Wushu fixes the loophole, but don't tell the craftsmen the truth for now, lest the news leak out."

"Then what reason should I use?"

Hu Yanlei thought for a while and said, "You just said that you received a big business and you need to go to Daming Mansion to work for a few years, and let them bring all the family members with them."

Yang Tianfang shook his head, "In this case, many people don't want to go. Only when we go back to the Song Dynasty will everyone be fully mobilized. We experienced it the year before last. We all went to Chenliu, and suddenly a war broke out. Blockade, we had no choice but to come back in despair, we mean, we should go back to Song Dynasty, so that everyone will actively follow."

Daoist Qingsong next to him smiled and said, "I have a way to take care of both ends!"

Although Qingsong is a member of the intelligence battalion, he is really a monk, and Hu Yanlei is quite polite to him.

"Master, please speak!"

Daoist Qingsong said with a smile: "Last year we transferred Guan Shigu's family. The method was very good. We can repeat the old trick. First, let the craftsmen and their families move out of the city, and let everyone live together. We will tell everyone when we are leaving. , even if you want to leak the secret, there is no place."

Yang Tianfang praised: "This is a good idea. The year before last, we set out separately, gathered in Banqiao Town outside the city, and then went south together."

Daoist Qingsong smiled again: "We bought a big mansion outside the city, and it is still vacant. Proprietor Yang can move there."

Yang Tianfang thought for a while, and then said to Hu Yanlei: "At that time, after the "Beijing News" was over, I collected all the engraving blocks and wooden movable type. There are only a few thousand yuan for the plate, which my father has accumulated for decades, and it weighs at least tens of thousands of catties. I don’t want to throw it away, can I take them away?”

Hu Yanlei readily agreed, "No problem, it's all by boat anyway, I'll ask my subordinates to transport them away first."

Yang Tianfang breathed a sigh of relief immediately, "That's good, we can move out of the city today, anyway, we also rent a house in the city, the dilapidated house, we can leave at any time."

……

Yang Tianfang was fed up with the dilapidated huts in the city, and moved to a mansion outside the city. Everyone wished for it. Within two days, everyone moved to the mansion.

The mansion outside the northern city has five acres, and it is no problem to live in a hundred people. At this time, Yang Tianfang's movable type, engraving blocks and ink were sold to Hu Yanlei in the form of commodity trading, and taxes were also paid. Any embargoed materials were transported all the way to the northeast.

In the past two days, Qingsong was in charge of finding contacts, managing the government, and obtained a certificate of relocation permit, allowing Yang's engraving club to move to Daming Mansion, including the proprietor Yang Tianfang, 15 craftsmen, 98 people in the family, and ten martial arts guards. people, and then each of them paid five hundred cash for relocation, and the government immediately approved them to leave.

The Bianliang county government is going to be poor and crazy, and it can't save a penny to find a relationship. At most, it will get the approval on the same day.

At present, the official roads going west are basically blocked, and the application to the government will not be approved. If you go south, you can't get close to the Huaihe River within [-] miles.

But you can go east and north, it’s just a question of spending some money, as long as the money is paid in place, the government will approve your legal migration, there is no need to sneak around the checkpoint at night.

Some people may think of a little cleverness, I apply to go east, and after leaving the city, can I just turn south and go south?

This underestimated the government's management capabilities. On the application form, the specific route has been arranged. There are thirteen checkpoints on the road to Damingfu. Each checkpoint must be inspected and stamped, and the number of people must be counted. Simply put, It means that you must follow the route designated by the government in order to migrate smoothly, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of surrendering to the enemy if you are caught.

Otherwise, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty have faced each other for a hundred years, and the Han people in the Jin Dynasty would have gone to the Song Dynasty long ago. The martial arts practitioners or gangsters who run the rivers and lakes can ignore the government checkpoints and walk over mountains and mountains at will, but ordinary people can’t do it. Follow the official path.

Otherwise, just a month after Liu Yu released the checkpoint, as many as 75 people from the Central Plains fled to Shaanxi. Who can afford to escape like this.

Everything was ready. In the evening, Yang Tianfang summoned fifteen craftsmen and gave them an explanation.

An hour later, more than 100 people set off in more than [-] bullock carts.

Chapter 8 and One

The convoy traveled at night along the official road to the northeast. The route determined by the government was the Northeast Official Road, which passed through Bianliang County, Fengqiu County, Changyuan County, Weicheng County, and Baima County, and then crossed the Yellow River in Baima County. There is a checkpoint in the county. After crossing the Yellow River, you must continue to walk along the prescribed route.

Basically, every checkpoint has to be dealt with, and one or two pennies will be given to the interrogating officer. Of course, he will not close his eyes and let him go. He will not accept any necessary procedures, but his attitude will be better. You won't point to a small bag and say that there are spears and prohibited weapons in it.

Yang Tianfang was confused by two questions. They walked eastward, and the distance from Shaanxi Road would only get farther and farther away. What's going on?

Second, Hu Yanlei said that he brought more than 100 men, why did only ten guards follow them, what about the others?

Hu Yanlei used the name of Bianliang Changrong Martial Arts Academy. The martial arts gym has a guard business, and the martial arts guards can ride horses, carry bows and carry knives. Long weapons are not allowed, but whistle sticks are allowed. Zaomu whistle sticks are not as powerful as iron The stick is bad, one stick can kill a person.

Arriving in Fengqiu County in the early morning of the next day, after passing the second checkpoint, Yang Tianfang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"General Huyan, we are going further and further away. What is the reason? The craftsmen are all questioning, and even suspecting that I am deceiving them."

Yang Tianfang's tone was a little dissatisfied. Of course, his craftsmen would not question it, he just used the craftsmen as an example.

Hu Yanlei smiled slightly: "Since Proprietor Yang wants to know, let me tell the truth, our goal is to go to Baima County, but it is not Baima Ferry, but to go to another place to board the boat."

"Get on the boat?" Yang Tianfang was stunned.

Hu Yanlei nodded, "We have three big boats in the Yellow River, and my men are waiting on board, and then we will go west by boat."

"But...but, what should I do if I meet a golden soldier in the Yellow River?"

Hu Yanlei chuckled, "Our three ships are warships. How can those small sentinel ships of Jinbing be our opponents, and they don't have any big warships. I dare not say on land, but on water, we are unimpeded. "

"But it's November now! It's all west wind, and if you go against the current, can someone pull the tow? If it is to pull the tow, the golden soldiers will kill the tracker." Yang Tianfang still couldn't figure it out.

Hu Yanlei laughed and said, "Does Master Yang know that there is a warship called a chariot?"

Yang Tianfang shook his head, Hu Yanlei smiled mysteriously, "I can't explain it, Master Yang will know it when he sees it with his own eyes."

……

Since the procedures are legal, the main thing is to spend money all the way, and the journey went smoothly. This morning, the team passed the Baima County checkpoint.

They have spent more than [-] guan in management fees along the way. Basically, they bought [-] guan for each level to buy a safe journey. It's bought with money, the more money you spend, the safer it will be. If the money is not in place, then you'll have to suffer, it's better to take the risk of taking the path.

The next checkpoint is the Baima Ferry checkpoint, which is guarded by golden soldiers and must be strictly searched, money is useless.

Came to a fork in the road, which was still [-] miles away from the checkpoint, walked along another trail for about two miles, everyone got off, Hu Yanlei gave each ox cart driver five taels of silver, and asked them to go back. Bianliang was taken away together with the rented horses.

The coachman guessed that they wanted to cross the wilderness and escape the Jurchen's search, and they must be carrying some prohibited items, but for the sake of money, no one said anything, and the ox caravan turned around and left.

More than 100 people, old and young, stood in the wilderness, and there were a lot of boxes beside them to salute. The crowd looked eagerly at Yang Tianfang, while Yang Tianfang looked at Huyanlei in a panic. What about a group of robbers?

Hu Yanlei smiled slightly, took out an arrow, tied a thin gunpowder cartridge with a rope, lit the matchstick with a torch, and when it burned to the end, the arrow shot into the sky.

'Snapped! 'The gunpowder arrow exploded in the sky and could be heard clearly for miles.

About a quarter of an hour later, a large group of black-clothed men ran out from the woods not far away. There were as many as 60 to [-] people, each with a weapon in their hand. They were so frightened that their legs trembled and their faces were pale.

A moment later, a large group of men in black rushed forward, and the leader saluted Hu Yanlei, "See control!"

"Is everything normal?"

"Reporting to the control system, everything is normal, and the previous movable type and other goods have been boarded."

Next to Yang Tian let go of his heart, and immediately saw hope in front of his eyes.

"General Huyan, who is your subordinate?"

Hu Yanlei laughed and said, "Didn't Proprietor Yang wonder where my 120 men are? They are there, and the rest are on the boat."

"I can rest assured that!"

Hu Yanlei waved his hand, "Help carry the luggage, and lead the way!"

Fifty or sixty strong men easily carried their luggage and walked forward.

Hu Yanlei smiled at the hundred elders and children: "Everyone, let's go! Walk about ten miles and we will be there."

……

There is still one mile away from the Yellow River, here is a wild ferry, at this time, the sound of horseshoes faintly came from behind.

Huyanlei's face changed, "Oops, I met a patrol!"

He immediately ordered: "Wang Wu, you take the young and old to board the boat first, and the other brothers stay with me to stop the enemy!"

He shouted again: "Put down the luggage first, and send it back to the ship."

Everyone was terrified. At this time, no one cared about their luggage. Under the leadership of Yang Tianfang, the old and the young all stumbled and ran towards the Yellow River with a Song soldier.

Hu Yanlei led his men to deploy quickly. They didn't have crossbows, but they had bows, arrows and knives, and each had a fine steel short spear, which was enough.

What came was a group of Jurchen cavalry, about 30 of them, they were the cavalry patrolling along the Yellow River, and they were specialized in arresting civilians who secretly crossed the Yellow River.

Just now they encountered an empty ox convoy, became suspicious and killed one driver. The other drivers were terrified and told the truth one after another. There were about 100 people who were going to smuggle across the Yellow River. Most of them were old and weak women and children.

The coachmen told the truth, but they misled the Jurchen cavalry. They were not vigilant and thought they were smuggling civilians as usual.

Not everyone can afford the exorbitant money for migration and checkpoints along the way. If you want to go to Hebei, you can only rely on smuggling. Some fishermen will pick up passengers to cross the Yellow River privately.

Hu Shahu, the head of the Jurchen Wanfu, ordered to organize more than a dozen cavalry teams to inspect wild ferries and stowaways along the way, and this cavalry team was one of them.

In the darkness, the Jurchen cavalry faintly saw figures running and flickering in front of them. They swung their whips and whipped their horses, speeding up. Thirty war horses galloped along the official road. The horses crashed into a ball.

Hu Yanlei's eyes were fixed on the cavalry, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Bows and arrows are ready, listen to my orders!"

In the darkness, thirty Jurchen cavalry shouted loudly, urging their horses to gallop like lightning. At this moment, Hu Yanlei gave an order: "Shoot!"

More than 70 arrows were shot together, and the arrows were dense and powerful. In just 30 steps, the Jurchen soldiers screamed and fell off their horses. Half of the [-] people were shot dead. The rest of the Jurchen soldiers stopped their horses and looked at the fallen horses in horror. Soldier.

Huyanlei shouted, "Short spear throw!"

The subordinates brought by Huyanlei are all masters of short spear throwing. More than seventy fine steel short spears are thrown vigorously, stabbing at each other like black lightning bolts. The lethality is much stronger than that of arrows. The remaining ten Of the six Jurchen cavalrymen, none left disappeared. All of them were pierced by short spears and nailed to the ground.

Song Jun drew out his saber, killed several soldiers who were not killed by the arrow, and took away his short steel spear, regardless of the enemy's corpse, he picked up his luggage and ran towards the river.
