Chapter 224 Su Hong
Feng Qi disappeared, but his business and channels did not disappear.

The smell of meat will always attract night owls, or more powerful beasts.

Gongsun Fu and Su Hong immediately filled in the gaps and grasped Feng Qi's channels in seven or eight.

Two dark forces join the fray.

Especially in important cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Xuchang, and Yecheng, various methods have been used.

"The two forces have some origins, rich and powerful, and have the protection of the government. We have already fallen into a disadvantage, and many of Feng Qi's people have been instigated." Su Hong reported with a bamboo slip.

He is less than twenty years old, but he is quite experienced.

"Did you use the money?" Yang Zheng felt a little headache, every step was so difficult.

"Gold, silver, jewels, famous horses and swords are equivalent to [-] bolts of silk." Su Hong presented the bamboo slips.

"So many?" Yang Zheng couldn't help being surprised. One thousand bolts of silk can buy a Yamen general in the Chinese army, five hundred bolts can buy a hundred generals, and [-] bolts of silk can be bought without even a bubble?
The water here is a little too deep.

Xihai private salt is gradually on the right track, and the income is only [-] to [-] pieces of silk every quarter.

Although Yang Zheng is rich, his foundation is too weak, and there are too many places to use his money.

The key is to continue to spend so much money, and it may not be possible to win in the end.

Feng Qi is backed by the Zhong family, a well-established family, which has been in business for many years.

There is basically no backing behind him.

Cao Shuang ascended to the sky, Xiahouxuan was emptied, Xiahouba ran away with a bucket, Yang Zheng's eyes were darkened.

"What do you think should be done?" Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead, this kind of thing is more exhausting than going to battle to kill the enemy.

Su Hong clasped his hands and said, "This subordinate thinks that we might as well withdraw temporarily and let the two forces compete with each other. We only need to make careful arrangements and master the channels. Moreover, the subordinates feel that we can't win them. No matter which side wins, in the end will win us over, and we only work with the victors to remain invincible."

Yang Zheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "It makes sense."

Professional things should be left to professional people.

In the Yangtze River, the waves behind push the waves ahead, the people of the previous generation can only fight and kill, and the people of the next generation are unique in management.

In terms of management ability, Su Hong is much stronger than Gongsun Fu.

The youth camp has been established for almost four years, and many former children have grown into ambitious youths.

Years of investment have paid off.

It can't be regarded as both civil and military, but it is also very effective. The key is to Yang Zheng's dedication.

Standing in his current position, Yang Zheng realized that sometimes loyalty is more important than ability.

"You are fully responsible for this matter. If you let it go, half of the money in the treasury will be given to you." Yang Zheng has always been bold in delegating power.

This is also impossible, as there are not many people available.

You can only cultivate and exercise yourself.

If something happened, as long as it wasn't caused by dereliction of duty or deliberate slack, Yang Zheng would take care of it for them.

"Wei!" There was not much joy in Su Hong's eyes, as if he just accepted an ordinary task.

After handing over his hands and saying goodbye, Su Hong walked in the downtown of Xidu with a guard.

The capital changes every year.

There are more and more people traveling from south to north, and the northern line of the Hexi Corridor is full of crises. Xianbei, Xiongnu, Lushuihu, etc. are herdsmen during the day and horse bandits at night.

Many Hu merchants in the Western Regions began to choose to take the southern route, from Dunhuang to the south, passing through the Xihai Grassland, entering Linqiang, and then going to Xiping, going down the Huangshui River, going north to Wuwei, south to Shuzhong, or to Guanzhong.

With more people, the western capital will prosper.

All kinds of cries filled the street.

Putao wine, swords, gems, spices, etc. from the Western Regions, as well as cloth shoes, clothes, leather cloaks, ceramics, tea, etc. of the local people, all attract tourists.

Merchants from the Central Plains and Sichuan came here after hearing the news.

"Oh, our general is really a great hero. What was Xidu like back then, and what is Xidu like now?" the guard Jiang Adao chattered.

Jiang A Dao is the son of Jiang Faye, who protects Qiang, and his sister is Yang Zheng's concubine.

Such a person should be dressed in fresh clothes, angry horses, flying eagles and lackeys, but he is just an ordinary soldier in the personal guard camp.

But Jiang A'dao is very satisfied with his status, and is respected everywhere.

He was not a brave person in the first place, and he didn't have any great skills. If it weren't for his sister's care, he would definitely not be able to enter the personal guard camp.

The two are about the same age, and they are considered familiar with each other, and they don't need so many polite words.

"The general pays lightly and pays less, and the Qiang, Hu, Han and Yi treat each other equally. Many merchants would rather take a long way than take the north road..." Halfway through the speech, Su Hong's nose moved, and a smell of wine wafted from his nostrils.

It came from a wine shop.

Su Hong stopped, and stood in front of the wine shop, hesitating.

There is a faint sound of music and dancing inside.

Luxury merchants come and go, and the business is good.

"Drink as much as you want, let's go!" Jiang A'dao was quite bold and unrestrained, and pushed Su Hong into the room.

"This wine is not cheap." Su Hong's throat moved.

Jiang A'dao opened his eyes wide, "Isn't there [-] or [-] money in and out of your Steward Su's hands every day? You can't afford a pot of wine? If it spreads out, won't it make people laugh?"

Su Hong shook his head, "It's the Qiang Mansion's money, and it's also the general's money. How can I embezzle it for my own use? How can I be guilty of being a man?"

Jiang A'dao looked at Su Hong like a monster.

Su Hong looked calm, "Recently, there is a new mantou shop in Xidu, let's try something new."

In the barbaric area of ​​central Sichuan, human heads were used as sacrifices to gods. Zhuge Wuhou conquered Menghuo and ordered bread and meat to be used as human heads for sacrifice, which were called Mantou, Mantou, and Mantou.

Over the past 20 years, it has gradually spread from Sichuan to Yongliang and Jingchu.

Jiang A'dao was never picky about food, as long as he had something to eat.

Six mantou, three for each person.

Su Hong chewed and swallowed slowly, Jiang A Dao took two bites, swallowed it directly, and finished it in three or two bites, "Not enough."

Su Hong had no choice but to say, "Two more."

"You're too stingy, come twenty." Jiang A Dao waved his hand.

Su Hong pulled his face, "I can't eat so much."

After a while, all the twenty mantou went into their stomachs.

Jiang A'dao patted his stomach contentedly, "I won't make things difficult for you. I've invited you this time. I've never seen such a stingy person like you. The salary and rewards given to you by the general are enough to buy a good house in Xidu." , Raise seven or eight women, you are good, live in a residential house, eat bran and swallow vegetables all day, live like a slave, don't look at Liu Heng, there are three houses in Xiping, and more than 30 women... ..."

Su Hong belched, "Extreme extravagance is the way to ruin, hard work and thrift, no idleness and no waste, this is the way for a gentleman to build his life, and also the way to build a country."

"Stop, stop, stop, you are noisier than the old gentleman in the school." Jiang A Dao also spent two days in the school, and these two days became the darkest two days in his life.

On the third day, no matter whether Jiang Farye whipped him or put the knife on his neck, Jiang A Dao couldn't die.

Jiang Faye is only such a son, he has been pampered since he was a child, so he can't really cut him off.

Otherwise, Lao Jiang's family would have lost all children and grandchildren.

In desperation, he had no choice but to beg Yang Zheng to join the personal guard camp and become a guard.
