"Then what should we do, sir?"

"Keep your authority and be careful, don't act lightly!" Zhai Shoushi said confidently:

"Li Taiwei has been running the Shangdang for many years. He has so many soldiers and generals that even the late emperor can't do anything. The same is naturally true for Zhao Kuangyin. The imperial army is elite, and two tigers are fighting each other. Both sides will suffer losses. When the time comes, it will take many days for the emperor to organize the army. How can he attack in one day?

Can the Zhou Dynasty be restored to greatness?"

"Sir's plan is really perfect. It's a good idea to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!" Li Chongjin clapped his hands very hard. If he hadn't known it in advance, he would have been deceived. This plan is indeed good and suits him very well.

idea.

"However, sir's plan came a little late. I already knew it!" Li Chongjin sneered:

"Sir has such a plan, how can I not entertain him well so that I can live up to your kindness!"

Hearing this, Zhai Shoushi was suddenly startled and turned pale.

"Thank you for always trusting you. I didn't expect you to turn around and run to Tokyo. You still want to confuse me. You are really a cruel person!"

Li Chongjin said with a ruthless face: "Take me down to feed the dog!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, for the sake of my service for many years..." The wailing could not be stopped. After hearing this, Li Chongjin became even more angry. Then he thought that since even Zhai Shouxi had betrayed him, the entire Huainan should

How many were bought?

His face became heavy again unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, it seems that taking a rest and slowing down the attack will only fall into the trap. Meeting the Shangdang Lieutenant Li to make an appointment is the right way!"

Chen Yang watched the drama, smiled, and gave his suggestions.

"Shangdang and Huainan are too far apart to communicate!" Li Chongjin said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

"Our Chamber of Commerce has some business with the Khitan people. It is most convenient to go from Yanyun to Shangdang. All you need to do is make your Majesty write a letter!"

"That's the best thing -" Li Chongjin finally cheered up. He smiled reluctantly, and then ordered: "Come here, if anyone comes to see Zhai Shou die, just say that he has worked hard on the journey and is recovering from his illness."

It’s not convenient for me to see guests!”

…

After Chen Yang gained Li Chongjin's deeper trust, he left with satisfaction. Planning for Huainan was the top priority of the court. As long as it succeeded, not to mention the invasion of Tokyo, the thousands of miles of rich Huainan would be in chaos.

, it will be ineffective without several years of recovery.

But Huainan is in a mess, how can the Central Plains go south? Huainan does not provide food and grass, how can it be transported thousands of miles away from elsewhere?

As the connection between Lingnan and Li Chongjin deepened, the business exchanges between the two places became more and more convenient. The geographical differences made the goods scarce for various places, and the profits were extremely abundant.

Of course, while doing business, the Sound Department also did not forget to arrange manpower for lurking to make double preparations after Huainan failed.

As the smoke of the war became increasingly thick, the knowledgeable country gentry and wealthy men realized this extraordinary war, and some went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and some went to Wuyue.

Of course, some people feel that those places are not peaceful, and there are also many people who are willing to go to Lingnan.

Looking at the ant-like crowd, Chen Yang sighed and asked:

"How many people can we pull on this trip?"

"Because they are all bringing their own families, our ships have to carry goods back. We only have a little more than a thousand people, but the money is quite a lot. At thirty thousand guan, we make more than selling goods."

Hearing these words, Chen Yang was also happy in his heart. The sage said that these people all have a lot of wealth and have many scholars. If they can produce some talents, it will be the biggest gain.

There are many merchant ships parked on the riverside, densely packed with many porters carrying goods from the ground to the ships, thanks to the hardworking little bees working tirelessly.

Lingnan and Huainan are closely connected, and the result of the gathering of merchants is that many farmers can earn some hard-earned money and some rice during this lean time, thus supporting thousands of families.

The key is that these merchants are honest and honest, and all they give are fine copper coins, which is even more gratifying.

Looking at these smiling porters, Xiao Shanwen was a little confused and fell into deep thought.

"Big brother, big brother?" At this time, a clear voice woke him up. He looked up and saw that it was his younger brother, Xiao Congwen.

"I wonder what brother is thinking, why are you so entranced?" Xiao Congwen asked with a smile.

"Look, these porters are working so hard but have so much joy on their faces. Why is that?"

"When there is no work to do, if you have a job to support your family, you will naturally be happy!" Xiao Congwen said without thinking.

"Yes or no!" Xiao Shanwen smiled and said: "In the past, there were many merchant ships coming over, why are they not happy? It's nothing more than fairness!"

Before he could think about it, Xiao Shanwen answered.

Looking at the long queue in front of him, Xiao Congwen couldn't help but patted his forehead and said:

"Brother, do we really have to move away from our hometown? This is where the ancestral hall and ancestral tombs are!"

"I don't want to move either!" Xiao Shanwen sighed and said, "You have also read books. You should know that Huainan has just entered the Zhou Dynasty just a few years ago, and now it is going to suffer from military and man-made disasters. This matter is even worse than

In the past, family inheritance was more important!"

Then he looked at his wife, children, and servants behind him, and then at the people lining up in front. There were many acquaintances there, and they were all people who were willing to give up money. When someone saw him, they bowed, and he couldn't help but smile.

He smiled and raised his hand in return.

"Brother is really amazing, I know people everywhere!" Xiao Congwen said with envy.

"When you become more knowledgeable, you will naturally become more famous and know more people!" Xiao Shanwen shook his head disapprovingly and said dotingly. He is thirty-five this year, fifteen years older than his brother, and his father died young.

It can be said that he is both a brother and a father.

"Let's talk about it after we go to Lingnan!" Xiao Congwen was a little confused for a while. Fame is not easy to come by. He couldn't forget that his brother's hand bled a lot when he was practicing writing in winter.

"I heard that the Tang State in Lingnan will hold an enke event next month. There is no restriction on your place of origin, so you can participate directly!"

"I've heard it too, it must be true!" Xiao Shanwen didn't know what his brother was thinking, and was about to stop him, but when he thought about the lack of literary style in Lingnan, besides, even if he failed to pass the exam, he could still accumulate some experience, so it wasn't a bad thing.

"If you want to participate, you can go there!"

"Really?" Xiao Congwen said in surprise, but then dimmed again: "It still doesn't work, it would be embarrassing, my talent and learning are not enough, it is only right for my brother to go!"

"Try it!" Xiao Shanwen sighed and said: "If you want to establish a solid foundation far away from home, you have to join the officialdom. I am not enough by myself. Erlang is already weak, so he can become an official!"
