Time Traveling Routine Movie King

A small farce ended without Shen Bai saying a word, and in the end their boat left without being inspected.

When he was leaving, the rosacea steward kept silent, watching Shen Bai's boat leave, feeling chilly all over his body.

"This Qianhu is not easy. He knows both you and me, and he also wears a sword." Xu Jin said, looking at the docking place that was getting farther and farther behind him.

"The whereabouts have been leaked. We have to find an excuse to cover it up. Originally, we said we were only going to Shouzhou, but we traveled hundreds of miles south. We would rather believe it was a coincidence than be careless."

It was rare for Xu Jin to sit still, bow his head and say nothing. If he did something casually and attracted people to peep at Shen Bai, it would be his fault.

It took nearly a week to go south, and it took about ten days to go back because of sailing against the current. Passing through Chenzhou and Caizhou, I took a general look at the land. I stayed in each place for a long time, but there was no suitable land.

On the way, I also heard news from Liaodong that the remnants of the Bohai Jurchen and the Khitan Xiao tribe fought to the death on the Bohai Tumen River line, and they were finally defeated, and only [-] of them retreated into Korea.

When the ship arrived at Bianshui, the mighty troop carrier and grain carrier from below continued to transfer to Bianjing.

Zhao Pu came to pick up the boat, got off the carriage, Shen Bai went back to the room and sat down to drink tea.

Zhao Pu sent this month's "Main News Monthly", which is published at the end of the month and publishes the major events and public opinion in January.

Shen Bai looked at the catalog of the Monthly News, and the first article was about the judgment of the situation in Liaodong, which was a bit like an editorial.

"Gai Khitan is tyrannical, bullying the weak and small tribes, arbitrarily starting wars on the surroundings, deterring the peace of Liaodong, and posing a blocking threat to our Northern Plains Capital Protectorate and Liaodong Capital Protectorate. The thieves are in the two plains to restore peace and calm the universe." Shen Bai read out the article and put down the book: "This is the same as the crusade, it seems that it has changed from fighting without breaking to tearing faces. , it may be a decisive battle."

After listening to him, Zhao Pu replied, "I don't know what Khitan thought when they saw this book."

"Everyone has their own plans, and sooner or later they will meet each other in battle, nothing more than this." Shen Bai flipped through the book catalogue, and said with emotion.

"How will this be used as a boundary?" Zhao Pu said worriedly.

"A critical point, a mistake by both the enemy and us, a loophole, a simple excuse, as long as he can find an excuse for him not to subjugate the country after the defeat."

"After the defeat, the country will not be subjugated. Isn't this about death and death? I mean after the fight." Zhao Pu said puzzled.

Shen Bai shook his head: "Khitan and our country have a huge land area and a vast territory. I'm afraid it will be difficult to subdue the country in one war. Once they are in a stalemate, it will be a waste. At this time, any excuse to save room will become the basis for peace talks. .”

Zhao Pu nodded to express his understanding.

"What's going on in the mansion recently?"

Zhao Pu reported solemnly: "The storefront of Yong'an Commercial Bank has been completed. It is at the end of the East City, close to the West Market, and next to the canal."

"Is it settled?"

"It's set, 7000 taels, three shops, although the location is not the best, but it is better to combine with the West Market, only one bridge away, and there is a huge flow of people."

From Zhao Pu's words, it can be heard that the location is indeed very good, and it also suits his thinking. Being in an area where the rich and the poor intersect, this will take a certain amount of convenience in terms of geographical advantage for his future display.

"The other thing is that Li Lu, the third son of Jingzhao Mansion's guard envoy Dingxi Hou, General Yingyang, sent someone to send a greeting card, and he wanted to invite the young master and Mr. Xu to talk about it."

Hearing the name Zhao Guanshi just said, Shen Bai couldn't help feeling: "What a long name!"

Manager Zhao chuckled softly: "There is no way, there are just so many identities."

"I've never heard of this Li Lu, how could he post a greeting card?"

"This, I'm afraid it's for Mr. Xu's name Mr. Wen Lan, but this man can be seen by the young master. He is 23 years old, but he has outstanding military exploits. He didn't rely on his father's prestige. He started as a sergeant in the army since he was a child." In the end, he was awarded the title of General Yingyang, but he is a fourth-rank general."

"What is the rank of the court's fourth-rank generals?"

"Ying Yang, Wen Zhao, Zhe Chong."

"Oh, then he's still number one."

"Yes, do you want to send someone to answer? He sent someone to ask again today." Zhao Pu asked.

"No, just give the post to my third brother and ask him to visit. If he wants to ask, just say that I'm not free and ask him to come forward to help."

"Okay." Zhao Pu smiled and withdrew.

Yuemei came in, helped Shen Bai put away his clothes, and asked someone to bring warm water for bathing.

After bathing and changing, the whole body stretched out.

Yuemei came over with a teacup: "Do you want to call back to the palace?"

"Go back tomorrow, are you all right?"

"It's nothing, it's just His Highness the Third Prince's birthday gift, do you want the mansion to prepare it?" Yuemei reminded.

"No need, I've already prepared it." Shen Fei'er had already told him personally before, but he didn't tell Yuemei.

It was just getting dark at night, and before dinner was served, Qin Yu came to visit.

"Fourth brother has worked hard all the way." Qin Yu said with a smile, full of warmth.

"Second brother, sit down quickly and have dinner together later."

"Okay!" Qin Yu sat in the study and took out a map: "This is the map of the promising warehouse. It is located five miles above the city, and it is the location of a village. All we bought were open spaces with no one around. , and the next two hills are the Imperial Army’s West Beijing camp.”

"That's a safe place, but won't the coming and going of military ships affect us?"

"There is a small river in the village. Our port is at the corner of the river. It is not easy to attract people's attention. However, it is impossible for ships to come and go. However, there are many cargo ships passing by, which are hidden from us."

"A new batch of grain will come soon, the store needs to make preparations early, and we can arrange it when the elder brother comes." Shen Bai calculated the time.

"Well, the business of the bookstore has been very good recently. You have been away for a few days, and the orders for those few books for the exam have increased greatly. The printing house is not enough to print at full capacity. This month, the bookstore's revenue may break 3000. Two, ours is almost the same as the bookstore, which mainly sells its own printed books." Qin Yu said with emotion when thinking about the book business.

It was a stagnant business before, but now it is so hot, it is like a dream in an instant. Although my own shares are less, I am earning more than before.

"Divide the printing workers into three shifts, and take a break to print in shifts. If there are signs of damage to the engraving blocks, they must quickly engrave new ones as spares." Shen Bai was talking about the division of labor responsibility system, but it was a very valuable experience for Qin Yu .

Yuemei came to send word that dinner had been arranged.

The two went to the dining room together, Qin Yu looked around and asked, "Where is the third brother?"

"He was invited by General Ying Yang, Li Lu."

"Li Lu, he's a celebrity in Bianjing recently."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Piercing Yang with a hundred steps, he became famous in the Forbidden Army Dabi. He heard that he was going to be sent to Beiyuan Dufu for reuse. The emperor even personally rewarded him with a new style of Yanling saber."

"Oh!" Shen Bai nodded, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Shen Bai and Qin Yubu dishes, marinade made of shrimp paste brought from the south, served with pasta, some refreshing pickles, and a mutton soup. The food is pleasant, and the staple food soup is suitable for both.

"I bought more of these pickles and shrimp paste, and the second brother will bring them back to Xuan'er and sister-in-law later." Shen Bai and Qin Yu ate while talking.

They are brothers as they please, and they don't care about eating or sleeping.

Before eating two bites, Xu Jin's voice came from the yard: "My good fourth brother, I brought your bosom friend here!"
