Monument Yangmen

Chapter 772

Wearing a majestic armor, Yang Qi stepped off the deck amidst the cheers of the common people.

The people on the coast lined the road to welcome, as if welcoming a hero who had returned in triumph.

The soldiers on the bank followed Yang Qi naturally.

Yang Qi did not return to his camp first, but walked to a group of people who were crying secretly.

It was a group of people who were full of expectations before, but are now distraught.

Old and weak women and children all have it.

When others cheered, they were crying secretly, but they didn't dare to cry out loud, which made people look very sad.

Seeing Yang Qi approaching, they subconsciously froze in place.

When they saw the strutting soldiers behind Yang Qi, they took two steps back in unison.

"do not be afraid……"

Yang Qi tried his best to make his voice very gentle, comforting those old and weak women and children who were retreating.

The eyes of the people on the bank all fell on them.

All eyes.

They seemed to be under a fixed spell, and they didn't dare to move.

Even the crying had stopped.

They have a natural fear of soldiers.

As for why there is fear, it may have something to do with their previous experience in Song Dynasty.

Yang Qi stopped ten feet in front of the old and weak women and children. He still wanted to advance, but once he entered, the people subconsciously retreated.

It seems that for them, vacating this ten-foot position can give them a sense of security.

Yang Qi stood up straight, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the family members of the soldiers who went to sea with me?"

Old and weak women and children hesitated.

Among them was an elderly man who took a trembling step forward, and carefully squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Young old man, see Your Majesty..."

After a pause, the old man said with a sad expression: "The ones who went out to sea with His Majesty this time are Saburo from the little old man's family... There are also many children that the old man watched and grew up with... Why didn't I see them come back..."

Although the old man already knew the answer, he still asked involuntarily.

He still longed for a miracle to happen.

Yang Qi looked at the old man's expectant eyes, felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "They... can't come back..."

Two lines of clear tears flowed down the old man's face.

Yang Qi didn't dare to look at the old man's face, he took a step back, bowed and said: "This time I, Yang Yansi, took your sons and husbands out to sea, but it was my fault that I, Yang Yansi, failed to bring them back intact.

I apologize to you all here. "

When the words fell to the ground, Yang Qi saluted deeply.

The soldiers following Yang Qi all bowed and saluted.

The old and weak women and children in front of Yang Qi were so frightened that they almost ran away on the spot.

With tears in his eyes, the old man didn't know where to put his flustered hands, and he kept muttering, "How can this be...how can this be..."

The old man wanted to step forward to help Yang Qi, but he was afraid that his dirty hands would stain Yang Qi's armor.

He stood there anxiously and at a loss as to what to do.

"Your Majesty is merciful. My family Erlang was killed by a Kunpeng monster. I can't blame Your Majesty..."

"Since the day when the elders served as soldiers and ate the imperial rations, we have been prepared for this..."

"Your Majesty must not salute us ordinary people, lest your reputation be insulted..."

"..."

The people are very simple.

In their eyes, Yang Qi is an indomitable nobleman.

It is a blessing for such a noble person to salute them.

For a moment, some of them couldn't care less about being sad, and instead started talking to comfort Yang Qi.

Yang Qi was almost moved to tears by these simple people.

In his heart, he also somewhat understood why those big leaders of later generations like to visit and inspect frequently.

Yang Qi got up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Your sons and husbands all died because of me. You will be raised by my country Yan from now on."

The common people said in fear and trepidation: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Yang Qi sent people down to check the names of the soldiers who died in battle, and found their family members to register.

Yang Qi planned to let them be the first batch of aborigines in Yanjing City after Yanjing City was built.

After finishing all this, Yang Qizai returned to his camp.

Enter the gate of the camp.

Yang Qi collapsed to the ground with a plop.

Whether it was the guards following Yang Qi or Kou Zhun and Chen Lin who were waiting for Yang Qi in the camp, the three souls were scared and lost their seven souls.

"His Majesty!"

A group of people scrambled and ran to Yang Qi's side.

Yang Qi sat on the ground paralyzed, smiled wryly: "I'm fine...but the injury on my body is not healed, I've been standing in armor for a long time, and I lost my strength..."

"Quick! Help His Majesty go in and remove his armor. Let the military doctor come over and help His Majesty take a pulse."

Kou Zhun yelled and asked someone to carry Yang Qi into the back house of the camp.

Then he hurriedly helped Yang Qi take off his armor.

After Yang Qi took off his armor, the military doctor just entered the door.

The back house was full of people.

One by one nervous.

The military doctor took Yang Qi's pulse, and Kou Zhun hurried up and asked, "How is it?"

The military doctor said: "The injury hasn't healed yet, and I'm overworked. I'll be fine after two days of rest."

Kou Zhun murmured, "Should I prescribe two medicines, or get some supplements?"

The military doctor hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "It's okay to get some supplements for His Majesty. If you prescribe medicine? What kind of medicine will you prescribe?"

The military doctor was trained by Datong Academy, and he didn't work in the court for a long time, so he didn't understand many rules of serving the king.

If this matter had been left in the Song Dynasty, the imperial doctor might have already prescribed the prescription and asked people to get the medicine.

Kou Zhun reminded: "Prescribe some medicine to nourish Qi and blood..."

The military doctor pondered: "There are two prescriptions available..."

Yang Qi lay on the bed, listened to the words of the two of them, and suddenly began to mutter in his heart.

No wonder the emperors in ancient times lived short lives. Apart from the accident of excessive indulgence, it is probably related to taking medicine.

In the end, their immunity was weakened, and a little illness sent them to the west.

"Cough cough..."

Yang Qi coughed lightly, and said: "There is no need to prescribe medicine, just get some ginseng soup and let me supplement it."

"Really don't need to prescribe medicine? Take medicine and get better soon."

Kou Zhun asked in astonishment with staring eyes.

Yang Qi's face was dark, and he cursed inwardly, you bastard is looking forward to my early death.

"Need not!"

Seeing the displeasure on Yang Qi's face, Kou Zhun didn't dare to ask further questions.

In this way, Yang Qi will be raised on the bed for two days.

In the past two days, under the nourishment of ginseng soup and various precious seafood, Yang Qi slowly regained his senses and became energetic.

Although some injuries are still unhealed, Yang Qi can already move normally.

two days.

The heroic deeds of Yang Qi going out to sea to hunt the Kunpeng were widely heard in the streets and alleys, and faintly began to spread throughout the whole country of Yan, and there was even a tendency to spread the past to other places.

Every day, there is an endless stream of people who come to Hong Kong City Wharf to visit the skeleton of Kunpeng.

Everyone praised Yang Qi's heroic deeds.

Those soldiers who followed Yang Qi to fight against Kunpeng even made Yang Qi a miracle.

In short, the people of the Yan Kingdom are bravely moving forward in this trend of chasing heroes.

Everyone wanted to imitate Yang Qi and go out to sea to slaughter Kunpeng.

Reports came from every government, one congratulated Yang Qizhen for killing the monster that caused the food shortage, but boasted of the heroic deeds of a certain people under their rule who slaughtered tigers and fought bears.

All kinds of heroes have been released.

The people frantically chased after the hero, but temporarily forgot the fear of food shortage.

Although Yang Qi issued the decree to go up the mountain and into the water, the common people also got a lot of food, and the trend of food shortage began to slowly weaken.

However, the food shortage in Yan State still did not pass.

Eating meat is a good thing, but the people can't stand eating meat for a month.

After all, whole grains are the staple food of the common people.

Just as Yang Qi was wandering in the back house, thinking about how to get some food for the common people, Peng Pai hurried into the back house.

"His Majesty……"

"What's the matter?"

Peng Pai hesitated for a moment, and said, "During the two days when His Majesty was recuperating, many businessmen asked to see His Majesty."

"The businessman wants to see me?"

Yang Qi paused, and asked doubtfully, "What's the purpose? If you sell grain, let them hand it over to Kou Zhun. By the way, tell Kou Zhun that as long as someone is willing to sell grain to us, we will give you whatever price.

Let this businessman take the opportunity to make a small fortune.

After my country of Yan is stabilized, I will squeeze them back with profits. "

Peng Pai shook his head embarrassingly, "Their purpose is not to sell food..."

Yang Qi was taken aback, looked at Peng Pai with his hands behind his back, and asked suspiciously: "Then what do they want?"

"They... want to buy Kunpeng's bones..."

"Um?!"

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and said in astonishment, "Buy Kunpeng's bones?"

Peng Pai nodded and said: "I don't know who spread the news that Kunpeng is an ancient god, its flesh and blood can prolong life, its heart can bring people back to life, and its bones can make people rejuvenate..."

The more Yang Qi heard it, the more unreliable he felt, the corners of his mouth twitched non-stop.

If it was a real Kunpeng, Yang Qi would have allowed its bones to be placed by the seaside for people to see, and probably sent someone to take them back and hide them.

However, these silly words are believed.

The most important thing is that these businessmen were able to clear the way and ask for their own heads.

What does this mean?
It shows that these businessmen are willing to pay a lot of money.

Yang Qi's status is different now, and it's not something anyone can see if he wants to.

Talking about business with Yang Qi face to face is not something that can be justified by thousands of taels.

Start at 10 taels, and there is no upper limit.

Otherwise, why talk to Yang Qi?
"So...the skeleton of the whale...Kunpeng is very valuable?"

Yang Qi asked Peng Pai while pinching his chin while thinking.

After realizing that the worthless whale skeleton seemed to be in high demand, Yang Qi felt that it was necessary for him to give White Wolf an empty hand.

Peng Pai nodded seriously, and said: "Of course the bones of the Kunpeng are valuable. In the past two days, there have been hundreds of desperadoes who secretly went to the beach to steal the bones of the Kunpeng."

Yang Qi pondered for a moment, then ordered Peng Pai: "Go and mobilize [-] soldiers and horses immediately to guard Kunpeng's bones, and never let a piece of debris flow out, or you are the only one asking."

"what?"

Peng Pai was a little silly.

When Yang Qi got off the boat, he threw the bones of Kunpeng to him like trash.

Now it is actually necessary to send [-] soldiers and horses to protect a pair of bones?
Yang Qi glared at Peng Pai, "Hurry up, do you know that a scrap of Kunpeng's skeleton is now more expensive than gold. If there is one piece missing, you can just wait for your head to move."

Yang Qi just frightened Peng Pai, but he didn't expect Peng Pai to take it seriously.

Hearing Yang Qi's order, Peng Pai hurried out of the back house to dispatch troops to defend Kunpeng's bones.

Yang Qize was alone in the yard of the back house, holding his chin and giggling alone.

A pile of rubbish suddenly turned into gold bumps, Yang Qi did not expect it at all.

Yang Qi was thinking, with this Kunpeng skeleton, who should be cheated.

After thinking for a long while, Yang Qi suddenly shouted: "Come here, invite those who want to buy Kunpeng's bones to come in."

There was obviously no one in the back house, but Yang Qi's order spread to the camp as quickly as possible.

After a while, Yang Qi changed into a Confucian costume and appeared in the hall of the camp.

Outside the hall, Chen Lin led a group of businessmen with big bellies and silks into the hall.

After these people entered the hall, they bowed to Yang Qi.

"See Your Majesty..."

"See His Royal Highness King Yan..."

"See the Lord of Yan Kingdom..."

The three different titles represent that they come from three different places.

The person who calls Yang Qi His Majesty should be a native merchant of Yan; the person who calls Yang Qi His Highness the King of Yan should be a merchant of Song Dynasty; the person who calls Yang Qi the Lord of Yan should be a merchant of Liao.

Yang Qiping waved his hands peacefully and said: "You don't need to be too polite, just take your seats."

After the businessmen sat down, Yang Qi said again: "Everyone who travels among countries to do business, you should be clear that I am the king who values ​​businessmen the most. So you don't need to be polite to me, and you don't need to take my identity into consideration. .

There is a saying in businessmen, which is called business in business.

Today, don't think of me as the lord of the country of Yan, but as a businessman of the country of Yan. "

All the businessmen were stunned, among them the businessman of Yan Kingdom smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, it is an honor for my generation to be able to be one of the people under His Majesty's rule, and to be able to do business under His Majesty's rule.

The commercial law enacted by Your Majesty does not have any clauses that discriminate against or oppress our businessmen, which is unique in other countries. "

When the businessman of Yan State said this, his face naturally revealed a look of arrogance.

The businessmen from Song and Liao countries looked at each other when they heard the words, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Frankly speaking, they have personally experienced how good the business law under Yang Qi's rule is.

If there were not many troubles, I am afraid that they would have left their country long ago and took refuge in business under the rule of Yang Qi.

The businessman from the Liao Kingdom didn't want to continue discussing this topic. He coughed dryly, cupped his hands and said, "Since the lord of the country is so frank, I'm sorry to speak bluntly."

"Please!"

Yang Qi made a gesture of please.

The businessman from the Liao Kingdom said: "This time we came together because of the Kunpeng bones in the hands of the lord. I don't know if the lord is willing to sell the bones of the Kunpeng, and how much will the price be? If the price is what, we will naturally not be stingy with gold and silver .”

Merchants from Yan State and Song State nodded together, and cupped their hands, saying, "We also mean the same thing."
