Monument Yangmen

Chapter 533 Yang Qi's First Disciple

No one knows what Zhongfang asked Fahai to send a letter to Huashan.

After Yang Qi returned to the mansion with Zhong Heng, he handed him over to Yang Hong.

Now Datong Academy, a literary academy, has been completed, and the construction of Fuxing Wuyuan has also entered the preparatory work.

Yang Hong, as the default instructor of the Fuxing Wuyuan Academy, naturally had to plan ahead of time.

The next day, Yang Hong packed his luggage and set off.

The entourage he led included Di Sanlang in addition to Zhong Heng.

The three little friends who once threatened to be generals of Yang Qi's family now have their own opportunities.

Yang Shun has been paid by Yang Da.

Zhong Heng has become one of Yang Hong's internal disciples.

At the same time, they will also become the first batch of students of Fuxing Wuyuan.

Zhong Heng is vigilant and cautious, which is very suitable for Yang Hong's inheritance of the art of war.

Compared with the first two opportunities, Di Sanlang's honesty seems a bit mediocre.

However, no one knows.

Two days ago, Di Sanlang's wife gave birth to a fat boy for him.

And this big fat boy is also a blessed person.

When Di Sanlang honestly told Yang Qi the good news, Yang Qi waved his big hand, and immediately accepted this little guy who was not yet full moon into his sect and became his big disciple.

When Di Sanlang left the Yang Mansion, his mother-in-law had just entered the Yang Mansion holding his son.

Di Sanlang's mother-in-law is a 16-year-old girl.

The little girl was carried into the Yang Mansion tightly wrapped up.

When Yang Qi saw her, she was timidly looking at Yang Qi with her big eyes.

"You are Di Sanlang's wife?"

The little girl hurriedly wanted to salute Yang Qi, but Yang Qi raised her hand to stop her.

The little girl timidly said: "The little woman is exactly."

Yang Qi nodded and said: "Since Benhou accepted your son as his disciple, and Di Sanlang entrusted your mother and son to me when he went to study art. We will be a family from now on. In front of Benhou, There is no need to be so restrictive.

You can confine yourself comfortably at home, if you have any needs, you can talk to Cao Lin. "

The little girl said restrainedly: "The little lady dare not, the little lady never thought that one day she would be able to live in the Hou's mansion."

Yang Qi waved his hand, and said: "The Marquis's Mansion is just, not the imperial palace. You are the mother of my first disciple under Yang Yansi's sect, so it is understandable that you live in my Yang Mansion."

The little girl blinked her eyes quickly, and asked in a low voice: "Master Hou, I would like to know, why did you accept my son as a disciple, and he is also a noble first disciple?"

Before this Yang Mansion, there were some tasteful people who told many terrible things in front of the little girl.

Some of them have said that the reason why Yang Qi is so brave and invincible on the battlefield is because he often eats the brains of boys to change his fate against the sky.

Otherwise, a marquis, a famous local emperor, why did you accept the son of a poor family as the first apprentice?

You know, in this era, the meaning of the first apprentice is not simple.

In the absence of the master, the decision of the first apprentice represents the decision of the master.

The little girl was afraid after hearing too much.

So, after seeing Yang Qi, she has been very scared.

However, as a mother's instinct, for the sake of the child, she still couldn't hold back and asked the question in her heart.

Yang Qi stared at her calmly, and said: "Before answering your question, Ben Hou would like to ask you a question first."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The reason why the little woman named the child Qing is to hope that he will grow tall, strong and strong like Qingshan in the future."

Yang Qi nodded, and said: "Then, I will answer your question now. The reason why I accepted your son as a disciple is because Ben Hou's child is about to be born. Ben Hou knows Di Sanlang very well, knowing that he is a Simple and honest person. Then his child must be a simple and honest person in the future.

Ben Hou hopes that in the future, there will be a simple and honest child who will be by my child's side, accompany him to grow up, and be loyal to him throughout his life, protecting him comprehensively. "

The little girl was obviously taken aback when she heard this.

However, Yang Qi's statement really convinced her.

Because in this era, it is common for the princes and young masters of the nobles to cultivate companions or personal servants from childhood.

It is also reasonable for Yang Qi to choose a future personal servant for his son.

At this moment, the little girl was no longer afraid of Yang Qi.

"It's his blessing that my son is valued by Master Hou. The little lady is here to replace my son, thank you Master Hou."

Cao Lin, who had been following Yang Qi without saying a word, took a jade token from the handmaiden, handed it to the little girl, and said with a light smile: "It's the first time we meet, as a teacher's wife, I can't see the child empty-handed." This jade tablet was carved by the craftsmen I ordered, and it represents the symbol of this child's identity.

With this jade plaque, from now on this child will be the eldest disciple of my lord.Seeing him, the servants in Yang's mansion naturally respected him three points.

Others didn't dare to chew their tongues outside. "

The little girl took the jade token and said excitedly, "Thank you Ma'am."

Cao Lin said with a smile: "In addition, I have prepared a nanny and two maids to your residence, and you will send them from now on."

The little girl panicked and said, "How can the little woman take on the responsibility?"

Cao Lin chuckled and said, "My lord is not an ordinary person. His disciples are naturally noble. They can take on the responsibility."

Thank you, little girl.

Under Cao Lin's secret urging, Yang Qi left the little girl's room.

As soon as I left the room, I walked for a while.

Cao Lin said helplessly: "Mr. Lord, you are a marquis, and you broke into the room of a confinement woman. If word of this gets out, how will you see people in the future?"

With his hands behind his back, Yang Qi said as he walked, "I just went to see my disciple and make sure he is innocent."

Cao Lin asked curiously: "Lang Jun, you seem to value that baby who is still in confinement?"

Yang Qi glanced at her, and said calmly: "Nothing. I just help our future children cultivate a confidant. So that when he encounters difficulties, someone will help him block the knife."

Cao Lin pursed her lips, and said coquettishly: "Are you still the foolish girl you used to be when you are a concubine? I don't know if this is a man or a woman in the concubine's stomach. If it is a girl, why don't you let me Can she charge forward?

So, I don't believe you when you say that you can cultivate confidantes for your children.Don't hide it from my concubine, tell me quickly, why do you value that little guy? "

Yang Qi paused, pondered for a moment, and sighed in a low voice.

"Because his name is Di Qing..."

……

Fengcheng.

Fengcheng Commander Chen Yao is definitely one of the rare officials under Yang Qi's command.

In just over half a month since he took office, Kou Zhun completely remodeled Fengcheng's original construction.

Today's Fengcheng not only has a vast urban area, but also smooth roads.

And there are many shops.

The most dazzling one is the Nanguo Money Bank located next to the Fengcheng County Government.

In addition, along the streets of Fengcheng, you can see many shops, brothels, wine shops, gambling houses, restaurants, foot shops, silk and satin shops, etc., everything.

The people walking on the streets are all businessmen from south to north.

There are also local vegetable farmers and hawkers in Fengcheng, carrying burdens and walking through the streets.

The entire Fengcheng has escaped from the barren and depression before, and has quickly entered a period of prosperity.

On the streets, there are mostly carriages loaded with various goods.

Carloads of oil, salt, cloth, etc. were brought in, and carloads of furs were sent out.

In Fengcheng, the most prosperous place is the livestock trading market near the west gate of the city. The trading volume of livestock here can reach tens of thousands of heads every day.

Tax collectors in black and red soap clothes walk through the streets, big and small.

Taxes are being collected in accordance with the commercial laws of Datong and Fuxing.

In Fengcheng, there are very few tax evaders at present.

Because the taxes here are not as diverse as those in the Song Dynasty, and they are also particularly heavy.

There are also no taxes privately formulated by those state capitals in the Song Dynasty.

The taxes here, the terms collected, are all clearly hung in the various housing markets.

Everyone can see clearly.

As long as merchants pay enough taxes here, they can do all business here reasonably.

Of course, human trafficking is prohibited.

Many people who have been in business in the southern country can clearly see some commercial laws similar to the southern country in this business model.

Some people even wondered whether Tiger Marquis Yang Yansi had reached some kind of agreement with the ruler of the Southern Kingdom.

And with the help of the Lord of the Southern Kingdom, some good policies were implemented in the territory he governed.

In short, in the eyes of businessmen, this is the greatest trading city.

No one wants to break the rules here until they have made enough money.

There are very few places like this in this land.

Therefore, the businessmen are subconsciously maintaining the growth of this place.

After Xue Zhengming entered Fengcheng, he was shocked by the prosperity of this small city.

In his opinion, this kind of bustling scene is comparable to the bustling West Market in Bianjing City.

It was hard for him to imagine that Yang Qi actually established such a prosperous trading city in the war-torn Northwest.

When Xue Zhengming arrived at the gate of the Fengcheng County Yamen, he sent someone to hand over the post to the Yamen servants who stood in front of him.

The yamen servants didn't dare to neglect the post when they saw that it was the party's emissary, and quickly went in and passed it on to Chen Yao.

After Chen Yao posted the post on the street, he quickly appeared at the gate of the mansion.

When he saw Xue Zhengming, he clasped his fists neither humble nor overbearing and said, "I am the order of Fengcheng, but you are the emissary of the Dangxiang Yeqi tribe?"

Xue Zhengming shook his sleeve robe, put up his airs, and said loudly, "I'm right."

Chen Yao made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please come inside."

The two entered the government office and sat down.

Xue Zhengming said carelessly: "I came here this time for the purchase of weapons and armor from your Ministry by the wild beggar tribe. Before this, I have already gone to Datong City and met Tiger Marquis Yang Yansi.

He has allowed me to come here to trade with you. "

Chen Yao raised his eyebrows, and secretly laughed in his heart, this Xue Zhengming really likes to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

If Yang Qi hadn't sent someone to send him a letter, he might have been bluffed by Xue Zhengming.

Chen Yao already knew the whole story, but asked calmly: "Really? Then, Mr. Xue, have you ever discussed the specific price with my Lord Hou? According to what my Lord Hou explained before, this time we The weapons that can be sold to your department include horizontal knives, hard bows, cotton armor, leather armor, etc.

There are so many things, and the quantity is calculated in tens of thousands.

For such a large-scale transaction, the price issue cannot be negotiated.I'm afraid it will be difficult to strike a deal. "

Xue Zhengming raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, and coughed softly. The old god said, "Huhou has already agreed. We, the wild beggar tribe, can exchange a sheep for a knife and a set of cotton armor."

"Pfft~"

Chen Yao directly sprayed the tea out of his mouth. He expected Xue Zhengming to talk nonsense, but he didn't expect Xue Zhengming to be so naive.

A good horizontal knife is worth around 20 taels.

The price of a set of cotton armor is around ten taels of silver.

This adds up to 30 taels of silver. How much is a sheep worth?

Chen Yao wanted to expose Xue Zhengming on the spot, but he stopped immediately when the words came to his lips.

He said with a troubled expression: "Mr. Xue, you can't get a good knife and cotton armor for the price you gave..."

Xue Zhengming was stunned for a moment, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and he said, "It doesn't matter if it's a little bit less, as long as the price is cheap."

When Xue Zhengming came, Yeqi Ganbo had told him that Yang Qi was a cannibalistic master.

In the purchase of equipment, the price offered by Yeqi Ganbo is the price of one horse with a horizontal knife, two sheep with a set of cotton armor, and one cow with a set of armor.

Now I got something for one-third of the price.

For Xue Zhengming, this was a surprise.

In Xue Zhengming's opinion, even if the things used by Yang Qi's subordinates were inferior, if they were transported to the wild beggar tribe, they would still be good things.

After all, the things made by the craftsmen of the Han people are far better than the things made by the party members.

Xue Zhengming believed that he had overfulfilled the task this time, and after he went, he would definitely be rewarded by the wild beggar.

However, he did not expect that he would meet a black-hearted Chen Yao.

Chen Yao has been by Yang Qi's side for a long time, and has helped Yang Qi a lot.

In addition, I have been dealing with businessmen recently, so my heart is quite dark.

After he and Xue Zhengming agreed on the date of the transaction.

He quickly arrived at the warehouse in Fengcheng.

Seeing the soldiers guarding the warehouse, he said anxiously, "Is there a batch of incomplete and unusable weapons that need to be destroyed recently?"

The old pawn guarding the warehouse nodded.

Chen Yao hurriedly said: "Don't destroy it, I've already sold this batch of items for a good price. Immediately go and recruit some more people to polish the weapons to be destroyed. Then pull out the cotton from the cotton armor Half of it, and then take out the iron sheet inside, and find someone to sew it up."

"what?"

"Ah what! Hurry up and go."
