Monument Yangmen

Chapter 261 Meeting Li Zifeng for the First Time

Geng Jinhua and Yang Yanding walked around the city for a long time.

They not only asked Song people, but also talked to Jiaozhi people, Li people and Liao people.

The results are basically the same.

People in the city almost blindly worship and respect the nobles who bring them wealth.

And the people in the city have one thing in common.

In the past, life was very difficult.

Cochin women are oppressed at home and often beaten.

In the mountains and forests, the slang and bureaucrats lived among wild beasts, often died, and lived a precarious life.

The people of the Song Dynasty did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes in the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Yansi didn't do much, he just gathered these suffering people together and gave them a little help.

Let them struggle, run, and be busy for their own lives.

Such a simple thing can be done by anyone with knowledge.

It's a pity that today, except for Yang Yansi, no one is doing this.

In the Great Song Dynasty, officials were fighting each other for the sake of power and wealth, for fear that if they were not careful, their power and wealth would be lost.

But here, Yang Yansi does not need to declare his power, nor does he need to intrigue for wealth.

Everyone in the city, naturally, took it for granted.

Yang Yansi was supposed to be a nobleman.

It would be unreasonable for him not to become a nobleman.

When Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua rushed to the city lord's mansion, Hailina was receiving merchants from Song Dynasty in the mansion.

Out of some caution, Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua bypassed the main entrance in order to avoid these merchants.

Arrived at the other side of the City Lord's Mansion.

There is a small square here.

Coming out of the barracks, the ten cavalry who were rushing on the galloping road were already waiting here.

Yang Yanding carefully inspected Shiqi's horseshoes, and found that after a long time running around on the gravel road.

The horseshoes of the ten riders were not damaged.

On the horseshoe, he found a horseshoe.

After learning about the purpose of the horseshoe from Zhao Di.

Both he and Geng Jinhua were amazed frequently.

In Mizza City, there are too many things that can attract their attention.

In comparison, the horseshoe is more attractive to them.

When Yang Yanding went to visit the blacksmith workshop for making horseshoes, Hailina had already received merchants from Song Dynasty.

When Hailina heard that Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua had arrived, he hurried over to see them.

When meeting Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua in Hailina.

Yang Yansi was meeting Li Zifeng in the Yongning Army camp.

Li Zifeng is the commander of the Yongning Army, and Yang Yansi is only the supervisor of the army, even though he represents the emperor.

But he hasn't waited for Li Zifeng to come to see him.

Li Zifeng led the Yongning Army back to the barracks, handed over the military order to Hou Renbao, and returned to his room.

After washing up, I heard that Yang Yansi was visiting.

He hurriedly adjusted his clothes and went out to greet him.

"Brother Yang Xian!"

"Brother Li!"

After the ceremony, Li Zifeng brought Yang Yansi into the room.

In the main hall, Li Zifeng ordered people to serve tea.

The two held tea and looked at each other.

Li Zifeng is a middle-aged man with a long beard, a square face, a burly figure, and he is not angry.

He has been in the army all year round, and he has an obvious army atmosphere on him.

He was obviously wearing a long gown unique to literati, but his breasts were exposed.

Seeing Yang Yansi staring at his chest fiercely, Li Zifeng smiled cheerfully.

"Brother Yang Xian, my brother is from the north, so I'm not used to the weather in the south. So when I'm at home, I keep my clothes open."

Yang Yansi smiled lightly and said: "Brother Li has a straightforward temperament, he can be seen as a man of temperament."

"Hahaha..." Li Zifeng laughed loudly, "Brother Yang Xian is right."

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries.

Li Zifeng said seriously: "Brother Yang Xian, about your coming to the Yongning Army, Shi Shuai has already passed a letter with Li. Shi Shuai told Li to listen to Yang Xiandi in everything.

Yang Xiandi has any plans, tell Li for details.Where he can help, Li will definitely help. "

Yang Yansi smiled, "Brother Li's words are the ones that are inferior. This Yongzhou has a wide range of mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests are rich in products. Many things can be bought at a good price in Bianjing City.

What I mean is to open up a commercial road leading directly to Bianjing.Transport the jewelry, spices, medicinal materials, and wood from Yongzhou to Bianjing City.

In this way, every year, we can make a lot of money. "

"Oh?" Li Zifeng pondered, "Does Brother Yang have a detailed plan?"

Yang Yansi smiled and said: "The Yongning Army is strong and immovable. Some of the remaining manpower will be incorporated into the Land Reclamation Corps, and some will be responsible for opening up business routes. It's a two-pronged approach."

Li Zifeng hesitated for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Brother Yang Xian came to Yongzhou for the purpose of opening up business?"

Yang Yansi grinned and said, "It's natural. With this business, we can get tens of millions of coins every year. This is a huge fortune."

"Ah ha ha..."

Li Zifeng laughed heartily for a while, took a few sips of the teacup.

He always felt that Yang Yansi's purpose in coming to Yongzhou was not that simple.

If Yang Yansi was just asking for money, Shi Shouxin would definitely not write a letter to himself, asking him to obey Yang Yansi's orders in everything.

However, right now Yang Yansi is not willing to tell him the truth, and he can't force it.

It seems that Yang Yansi still doesn't believe him yet.

Thinking of this, Li Zifeng put down his teacup and laughed with Yang Yansi, "Brother Yang Xiansi is right. Getting tens of millions of coins every year is indeed a great wealth."

"Speaking of which, Younger Brother Yang deserves to be the Tanhualang who was in the fifth year of Taiping and rejuvenating the country. He is indeed a great talent. You came to our Yongning Army and used the old, weak, sick and disabled in the camp to establish a farming corps. It solved the problem of food and grass in our camp at once. question."

Li Zifeng sighed: "Compared with the imperial army, our Xiang army is like a stepmother. The food and grass distributed every year is only enough for the brothers to barely eat and clothe. Many people are hungry and full. Now with this The Land Reclamation Corps, we don’t have to worry about food and grass in our camp anymore.”

Yang Yansi clasped his fists and said: "Brother Li is serious. As the supervisor of the Yongning Army, I should naturally help my brothers solve the problem of food and drink. I can't talk about a great talent. Compared with Brother Li, who surrendered his troops and marched for thousands of miles, it is nothing. .”

Li Zifeng's face darkened when he mentioned the issue of entering the army.

"Speaking of this, Mr. Li would like to thank Younger Brother Yang for his vigilance. Hou Renbao withdrew his troops and did not give Mr. Li any news. If Mr. Younger Brother Yang hadn't sent someone to remind him, Mr. Li might still be kept in the dark. I'm afraid that we brothers will confess to Jiaozhi."

Yang Yansi was taken aback, frowned and said: "Hou Renbao retreated, but he didn't send someone to tell Brother Li. This is indeed a bit over the line."
