Hearing He Miao say this, Kang Sui's heartstrings couldn't help but tremble, and then he hurriedly said: "I am just a few people, if there is no He Weng to take care of him, food and clothing will be scarce, how dare I hope to be able to enter the eyes and ears of the general of Taiwan." Yes, He Weng said so, there should be a good word to teach me, right? ”

Speaking of this, he looked at He Miao with a little envy.

To tell the truth, he has been trading between Zhongzhou and Guanlong since the period of the Huainan Governor's Office, and it can be said that he has seen General Shen and his civil and military affairs become the overlord of the Central Plains step by step. There is an element of danger in his character, and he has not given up his business career to join General Shen and seek the idea of a man's career.

But it also has to be said that due to the accumulation of reasons, whether it is the Huainan Governor's Mansion or the current Xingtai, they are all vigilant against the Hu people who are seeking advancement.

Although Kang Xianzu has been moving to the customs for a long time, he has long been no different from the people of Zhuxia, but he still has a certain amount of Hu blood, which has also become a little scruple for him, and he did not dare to put down all his hard work. But after this hesitation, Xingtai developed even more rapidly, and he had no opportunity to join it.

He Miao is different, he seems to be a little greedy, but he is one of the few Hu people in the current Xingtai who can be in a high position, and he is still in charge of Ma Zheng, who is of great military significance, and he can definitely be called a high power. To be honest, if it weren't for his greed for money, it would be impossible to establish a deep personal friendship with him with his identity.

He Miao's old name is He Lai Miao, and it is never an exaggeration to say that he is the old man of Taiwan. He joined the general's command very early, as early as before the Huainan War when the general was still trapped in Huainan, deciding the fate of Jin Zuo and even the general trend of the world, He Laimiao was under the command of the general, and his old Liu Di donated thousands of war horses to the king's division.

Later, these war horses also became one of the most important strategic resources of the Wang Division, which was of great significance for the Wang Division to defeat the Qihu army and even recover the entire Yuzhou.

He Laimiao was also rewarded and reused by General Shen for this merit, and his whole life has undergone tremendous changes. Especially as General Shen's authority became more and more powerful, Wang Shi's army became stronger and stronger, and his people also rose all the way.

After that, He Laimiao was disgusted with his strong surname, and simply took "He" as his surname. Although this is just a cover-up and stealing the bell, if you want people to completely ignore his Hu background, you probably have to change your head. But he was happy to do so, and no one would challenge him over such a trivial matter.

He Miao squinted slightly, waved his hand and returned to the house in the Kang Sui Horse Farm, and when the servants in the room had all withdrawn, he looked at Kang Sui and said with a smile: "Lao Kang, you are still a little respectful, and I didn't bother to show him any smooth financial paths." ”

After hearing this, Kang Sui was busy giving gifts and thanking him again and again, giving He Miao enough face with a very respectful attitude.

This naturally made He Miao smile, he was not lacking in titles and positions of power now, and he didn't have to make friends with these merchants in the racecourse, so he still had to do this, mainly to satisfy the pleasure of being respectfully looked up to.

He smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Kang Sui's words, and then said: "The strength of Xingtai is far from being known by you Jia people by waiting and seeing. The great general is so powerful that even I, an old servant who has been under my command for a long time, have only seen one or two out of a hundred. For example, in the current Hedong realm, in the past years, it was only a ruin, and anyone who came here would be sleepy and irritable, tired of seeing everything. But after just a few years, what will it look like? ”

Although Kang Sui was eager to listen to the aftermath and was impatient with He Miao's tirade, he still patiently echoed it.

"There is no need to mention how Hedong has achieved results. But the world is so big, where the king's law is reached, there is more than one place in the east of the river! ”

Hearing that He Miao finally said the truth, Kang Sui couldn't help but perk up, sat upright and listened, but heard He Miao smile again: "You businessmen are also lucky, you can be born in this world with the general, the general is a saint in the world, and you can see and hear everywhere, as long as you follow behind, you will not worry about receiving huge goods." ”

How could Kang Sui not understand this truth, otherwise he would not be eager to ask He Miao.

Consciously sold enough, He Miaocai said again: "The export of tea goods is also a matter that the general has always advocated. In previous years, Tianhua rewarded supply and marketing, but it was just a small test of the water, and now the exploration is also a harvest, and then the big push will be ...... in the next few years"

This kind of vague information is naturally not what Kang Sui needs, and he has actually felt the change in similar atmosphere, otherwise he would not have thought about it at all. What he wants to hear is what substantive action is being made on this matter.

"Lao Kang, you want to go straight to Hanzhong, this vision is also accurate. The tea merchant is out of the southern soil, and Jiangbiao is the old Chinese of the general, and you want to share a spoonful of profit is also a dream. I remember that you are from Huashan, and you can go straight to Hanzhong when you go south out of the Qinling Mountains......"

Kang Sui nodded naturally, and it was precisely because of this convenience that he moved this idea, tea is produced in the south, and the products produced by Jiangbiao are naturally the mainstream of the current market, but he also noticed that Shuzhong is also abundant, as long as he can gain a foothold in Hanzhong, he will not worry about not being able to get Shu goods, and Shuzhong is poor, and the price of goods is extremely low.

But he hesitated, mainly because the current Hanzhong and Bashu were still under the control of the Cheng Han, although his relationship in Hanzhong was also rumored to be under the frequent attacks of the king of Jingzhou, the situation in the Cheng and Han dynasties was already critical, and the country was unstable. It was only a matter of time before Wang Shi recovered Bashu.

And the question of time is where the business opportunity lies. Kang Sui is a businessman, even if he has some energy, how can he know the inside story of Wang Shijun's strategy. If you enter too early, you will have the first opportunity, but the danger is also great, maybe Cheng Han is dying and struggling, and he will regard these outsiders as spies, and his life will be difficult to protect when the time comes, let alone business opportunities.

"My brother-in-law Liu Erlang, do you know Lao Kang?"

He Miao asked again, and after hearing this, Kang Sui nodded hurriedly, understanding that what He Miao said was Liu Di, the general of the king's division. Liu Diqi was the master of the Shengwu Army in the old years, and then used it externally, and he was only one step away from supervising the town generals, and he was the representative of the young generals under Wang Shi.

Kang Sui knew his name, not that he knew everything about the generals in Wang Shi, but because He Miao promoted Liu Di and his affairs in the horse market, so that in today's Hedong horse market, there are almost no horse merchants who have not heard of Liu Di's name.

"Erlang is a tiger wolf under the general's account, and he followed Mao Bao and Mao Junhou south to Xiangyang earlier. I and Erlang's dear brothers, but also look at Lao Kang, you and I have a few years of friendship, if you really have ambitions, I can give you a road, first out of Wuguan to Xiangyang to settle down. As long as you are willing to donate and help the king, will you not be able to follow the king's master into Hanzhong in the coming year? ”

When He Miao said this, he said solemnly: "As for when Wang Shi will use force, don't ask, I don't know." If you will, let someone sue me later, and I will help you to come forward, and you shall not tell it to the outside world. ”

After hearing this, Kang Sui nodded hurriedly, indicating that he would never leak it. He Miaoken made such a statement, and he was already very happy. Especially when it comes to letting him gain a foothold in Xiangyang first, this is even more in his heart.

The geographical environment of Xiangyang is not inferior to that of Hedong, if it is really compared, the influence covered by Hedong is mainly in the Yellow River, while Xiangyang is a north-south rush, extending in all directions. Seeing that Hedong District has developed so rapidly in a few years, in fact, there are many businessmen with strength and ideas who have set their sights on Xiangyang.

It's just that there is no obvious opening decree to support the current downtown, so these businessmen are also temporarily unable to trigger it. But it is conceivable that as long as the platform releases a slightly obvious signal, businessmen from all parties will definitely pounce on Xiangyang like wolves.

He Miao pointed out this path to him, not only allowing him to take the lead in the tea trade, but also giving him the opportunity to take the first step in Xiangyang, and it really made him feel grateful that the embarrassment and petty compliments in the past few years were not in vain. For He Miao, it may be just a casual point, but for Kang Sui, it may be the starting point of a family business that can be passed on for a lifetime or even generations!

Receiving this heavy benefit, Kang Sui naturally couldn't treat He Miao badly, and when he sent his people out of the racecourse, he asked his family to set up several carts, which were full of goods.

However, when He Miao saw this scene, his face changed suddenly, and he pointed at Kang Sui and scolded angrily: "Old Kang, you are trying to kill me!" Take it back for me, and don't do it again! ”

Although He Miao is greedy for money, he will never forget his life because of greed for money, and he understands what kind of money should not be collected. The reason why I have such a little realization is because of some twists and turns.

Hedong was created, and He Miao was used from Luoyang to supervise the horse market here, and he was suddenly released, and he was in power, and it was inevitable that he would get a little carried away. In particular, those horse merchants were loaded with heavy goods and sent them straight to his mansion, which made him even more confused, and he did not refuse to come.

But the good life didn't last long, and it didn't take long for Bian Zhang, a subordinate of the urging ghost in Shanya, to lead the Eagle Claw to Hedong, directly capture him in the official office, and send him back to Xingtai with the boat.

After more than a month in Tingwei Prison, He Miao really remembered it for the rest of his life, especially seeing all kinds of sad and remorseful postures of the criminals in the prison cell, and some of them disappeared from the world after being taken away, which made He Miao have trouble sleeping, and he didn't know when he would be torn apart by these eagle claws.

In the end, it was only with the special approval of the general that He Miao was released, not to mention the return of the stolen money, and he was also burdened with a huge fine. Originally, it was supposed to be the punishment of stripping the name, but this was even more unacceptable to him than killing He Miao, and he also played a mixed sex, crying constantly every day after the general entered and exited the ceremonial car, and finally annoyed the general to pity his old merits and keep Jue Lu to try to guard the horse prison.

Since then, although He Miao is also greedy for money, he also knows what kind of greed cannot be moved. Especially as an old man in Xingtai, following this qualification for a small time is enough for him to be inexhaustible in his life, and if he exhausts these qualifications because of greed for money, it is the most stupid thing.

He can collude with the owner of the horse farm to harvest the fat sheep that buy the horse, as long as he does not bully the market, he will not care about such a trivial matter. Of course, he also understands that it is not excluded that some horse businessmen will take bribes by following this twist and turn, but he will take the money and do nothing.

Over time, people also knew that he was a ruthless character who only went in and couldn't get out, and didn't do anything with money, so he gradually lost his mind. And those who are willing to keep in touch with him like a Kang Sui are regarded by him as people who truly respect him. So Kang Sui begged him to inquire about his future, and he didn't mind helping out.

Today, millions of dollars were scavenged from the hands of the Xue family, which is more than a year in the past, and He Miao was also very satisfied, although he refused Kang Sui's gift, but before leaving, he still advised: "The horse money must be collected as soon as possible, the Xue family dares to delay, you directly make me humane." ”

Speaking of this, he was proud again: "Others are afraid that his Xue family is powerful, but I am not afraid." Sitting on the Xingtai Xingzhi and making huge profits, it is his family's wealth! ”

After hearing this, Kang Sui smiled bitterly, even if this matter was repeated, he would never dare to stab He Miao, it was a big deal to pay for it himself. Even if he was determined to end the business in Hedong, there were still many finishes if he wanted to get out, which really angered the Xue family, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave if he wanted to.

But Kang Sui didn't expect that before it was evening, the family members who went to collect the money would escort back with a sufficient amount of goods. This couldn't help but make Kang Sui surprised, the Xue family was also considered a martial artist, even if Xue Qiang was young and ignorant, couldn't the other relatives in the family see that he was shoddy and extorted?

I don't understand, Kang Sui can only attribute it to the fact that the Xue family is indeed rich and willing to give up, and they don't blink when they throw out millions of dollars. But he didn't dare to keep these hot goods overnight, so he hurriedly sent them to He Miao, and even didn't want to keep the 200,000 yuan that He Miao had promised.

But after the family returned, they still brought back 200,000 yuan, which made Kang Sui laugh dumbly, thinking in his heart that this old man was really a temperamental person with his own set of criteria.

Not to mention how Kang Sui felt in the horse market, after Xue Qiang and the others left the horse market, the group went straight to the camp in Pusaka.

The Xue family lives in Fenyin, and there is still a distance from Pusaka. However, after Hedong, it was built rapidly, so the scale of the entire Kasaka camp was also extremely grand.

The so-called large camp is not simply a barracks for sergeants, but a large military restricted area, in which both the officers and men of the Hedong Military Government are stationed, and the camp is also permanently used for temporary residence during the dispatch of the army. Of course, the most important thing is the warehouse where many military equipment are stored. Theoretically speaking, from Puban to Fenyin, the line along the river is considered to be within the scope of the military region.

Xue Tao, as the superintendent of the Hedong Military Government, did not set up his official residence in Puban City, but between Puban and Fenyin, close to the wall of his house.

Xue Qiang sent several Luozhong friends back to Pusaka, and asked his family in Pusaka to raise money and goods to pay for the horses, and then left Pusaka and went straight to his father's place.

Hedong Governor's Mansion is located under a high hill dozens of miles away along the river, which was originally a dock wall belonging to the Xue family, and on this basis, it was directly expanded into a military city.

Compared with the strict prohibitions of other military governments, the Hedong Military Government also has its own characteristics of rural songs, and the camp prohibition is not strict. Xue Qiang, as the head of the family, was the original part of his family inside and outside the military city, although he was only a white body, but no one dared to stop him along the way, and he went directly into the city and came to the official residence.

At this time, it was completely dark, Xue Tao finished the day's exercises, took off Rong Jia and was eating, and when he learned that his son had entered the house, he directly called people to eat together.

After the meal, the rest withdrew, leaving only father and son in the room. Xue Tao asked people to make a cup of tea, and the habit of drinking tea in the north is still developing, but the Xue family moved out of Shu in the old year, and they adapted to this habit very quickly.

"Have you settled a few of your friends?"

In the hall, Xue Tao didn't have much of the majesty of being a father, and asked casually in a relaxed tone.

Xue Qiang nodded after hearing this, but there was a desire to speak on his face, and after a while, he decided to talk about today's matter: "It's not that my family doesn't have good horses, why did Grandpa let me go to the horse market?" That He Weng, hmph, Lao Hu probably thought I was an ignorant fool, and I couldn't see that he was playing tricks with the horse farm owner. A few inferior horses, there is nothing to boast about outside the skeleton, millions of them are bought, and they can be killed and drunk or can touch a trace of Hexi flavor! ”

Speaking of this, Xue Qiang looked indignant, it was obvious that He Miao and Kang Sui colluded to play with them, he saw it, but because of his father's advice, he had to press it down, and he was treated as a fool for a whole day, and he had accumulated too much dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Aren't you ignorant?"

When Xue Tao heard his son's complaint, his face suddenly turned pale, and his tone became stern: "There is a little taste in it, if you can touch it yourself, you can also be called a little intellectual." ”

"Grandpa is worried, I don't know. It's nothing more than the way of the world is jealous of my family's enjoyment, and he has never exerted his strength to help Xingtai, but he took advantage of the convenience of the place to collect the profits of Xingtai Xingzhi Hedong. I heard people talk about it in Zhongzhou earlier, and there were many voices of slander against my family. But I don't understand, my family is so respected by the general, it is also because in the past years, my grandfather and father were strong, bloody but bearded, and protected the countryside, never lost their temper, and knew the world's affairs, and after obeying the general, the title was ready to be used......"

When Xue Qiang talked about this topic, his still somewhat childish face was full of resentment, thinking that it was too unreasonable to think that the world was so popular that he was jealous and slandered because of his family's prosperity.

After Xue Tao listened, his face showed a little disappointment: "I originally thought that you would stay in the sky for a long time, and you should be a little talented and strong, and if you say this kind of thing, it can be seen that you have wasted your time." You have only heard the times slandering my house, but have you ever thought carefully about why the times slandered my house? ”

"Bloody but bearded, protect the countryside, then how much does your family protect the countryside? It's just that the poor tiles of the house are still called complete, and the countryside is not the same dilapidated? Hedong is now steaming, how much more strength does your family have? Is there enough honor you have to give? ”

Xue Tao asked a few rhetorical questions, and Xue Qiang was speechless when he heard it, and only after a while did he bow his head and say: "If you have to use it, my family will naturally go bravely, and I don't dare to refuse!" The generals and soldiers treat each other, and the children naturally sacrifice their lives to follow them...... But I really don't understand, even if my family is full of criticism, Grandpa ordered me to take the initiative to ask the old man for blackmail, how much can I help? The great grace of the great man, since the great feats of Xuanhe can be matched, the selfish desires of these greedy people are spread out, and my family is even more despised by the times......"

Hearing his son say this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Xue Tao's eyes. Heaven and earth are revolutionary, and the people are in need, how can his family be exempt from vulgarity. But even he couldn't imagine that the problems his family is facing now are because they are too much.

At the beginning, Xue Tao was timid to contact Xingtai, because he was worried that Xingtai might be too strong or abuse the place. But later, seeing that the general situation was unstoppable, he finally made up his mind to join the general's command, but he didn't expect that the situation would rise all the way to the level that made him restless today.

Different from the fierce blow to Hongnong, Xingtai to Hedong, especially Hedong Township, is not just tolerant of it, and many generous support can be said to make the villagers reap the benefits, but I hate that I couldn't join the rule of Xingtai early, so that I can only enjoy the many benefits of this kind of governance today.

The Xue family can be said to be the most majestic family in Hedong, and it has to take advantage of Xingtai's vigorous support for the local villagers to rise to the top, and it also benefits from the gathering of businessmen from all over the world, which also makes the Xue family's reputation no longer limited to Hedong. The whole world knows that there is such a high-standard gateway in Hedong, which can still stand tall and keep festivals under the successive destruction of Tu Ge and Qianhu!

In the past few years, Xue's reputation has not only been gained, but the township has climbed to the extreme for a while. It can be said that all the desires of mortal people, after the Xue family took refuge in the platform, they all came to sit and enjoy it.

But what followed was that Shiliu criticized the Xue family sideways, thinking that his family had no deeds to boast about under the rule of Xingtai except for a righteous act, and he really did not deserve today's honor.

This argument is not held by one person, nor is it limited to one party. Before the general came to Hedong, Xue Tao went to greet him, and there was no shortage of officials in Taiwan, including Xie Yi from Tongguan, after seeing him, they all sighed in an inexplicable tone that it was since the general entered the north, and all the township tycoons enjoyed the honor and blessing of the wealth, and they did not cross the Xue family in Hedong.

Xue Tao also understands this, and at the same time, he also understands that these old people who have been in the stage for a long time have been generals, and seeing that his Xue family has to take advantage of the general situation and catch up, it is inevitable that there will be some psychological imbalance.

The old people in Xingtai were not angry with the luck of the Xue family, and Xue Tao could understand it. However, the attacks from the villagers behind him made Xue Tao feel cold all over his body.

After the general came to Hedong, some representatives of the township said that Hedong was in chaos in the old years, and there were many expedient towns, and now that they have been governed, they should sort out and reform in accordance with the order of Xingtai, and they can no longer sit back and enjoy the goodness and beauty of governance according to the old customs of chaos.

In other words, the profound township resources that the Xue family now enjoys also make these villagers red-eyed. In previous years, they were most afraid that Xingtai would forcefully push the reform of the executive order to suppress the township, but as the situation in Hedong became more and more transpiring, they couldn't help but want to share the behemoth of the Xue family!

The general did not accept the voice of the villagers in Hedong, but said that Hedong had not been ruled for a long time, and it was still a bit too hasty to force the government to order Zhongzhou, which could be discussed later. Xue Tao understood that the general's statement was naturally because he didn't want to see the villagers in Hedong fall into the township struggle due to greed, and on the other hand, he continued to take care of his family.

Chacha has no disciples, Xingtai has always been known for its fierce decrees, so that since the beginning of the incident, those who have not been naturalized in the countryside are both shocked and suspicious of Xingtai Wangshi, and dare not get too close. coincided with the Xue family's observance of the festival and did not lose the festival and made the general deeply grateful, so the Xue family was erected as a model in the world to show that the platform is not only strict on the side, but also on the reward!

It is an honor for the Xue family to have such an opportunity, but if it is not handled well, it may also turn into a catastrophe at any time!
