SF Express was in the warehouse outside the west city of Tokyo, and the footsteps with empty echoes stopped suddenly, and He Ju's surprised voice followed suit: "What? No one returned?! ”

In front of the big boss of SF Express, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy replied respectfully: "Back to the master, no one from the eight families has withdrawn." Sheng Hetang and An Xi even had their cars and horses ready, and the northern horses of the good ones were all the goods of the ordnance supervisor, and the small ones saw it with their own eyes. ”

The little guy has a faint Kansai accent, but if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear the subtle differences. Words, deeds, and dresses are no different from those born and raised in the capital and living in rich and noble families.

He Ju frowned, the words that he heard about in the first powerful bag in the capital in the line are convincing, so there is no place to question it. "Thanks to Dong Yu, otherwise I really don't know what those people think."

Praise the little guy, raise his feet, He Ju began to walk around the empty warehouse, his eyes wandering the space up and down, left and right.

The big sale before the New Year's holiday has almost wiped out all kinds of inventory in the warehouse. All kinds of cotton cloth, glassware, sugar, candied fruit and other specialties, the bulk goods that were transported to the capital after the autumn were all moved by the major merchants at the beginning of the lunar month.

Now that the New Year has passed, new goods from Kansai and the south will soon arrive in Kyoshi. At present, while I am free, I have to renovate the warehouse, fill the leaks, replace the damaged ones, fill the holes in the rats, and renovate the unloading tracks and small gantry cranes.

He Ju came to see how the warehouse was tidying up as usual, but it was difficult for him to concentrate on his work now.

"Seeing that Hebei is about to fight, the father of Liao who killed the emperor as a chicken is on fire, and now he is going north, he is really not afraid of death!" He Ju sighed as he walked.

Just a month ago, Han Gang was planning to settle the dispute with the Liao people by strengthening trade, and once and for all to fill the appetite of Yelu Yixin as deep as the northwest river valley. At that time, the nobles and wealthy businessmen of the capital clan scrambled one by one, breaking their heads and not caring to squeeze into the team of the Liao. It's just that after the turn of the year, the northwest is in full swing, and the Liao people even lost Xingling. He Ju thought that this incident would discourage many people, but he didn't expect that none of them frowned.

"Wealth is in danger. If you don't want to take risks, of course you don't get rich. Dong Yu snorted, "Besides, it's all the people under his command who go to Liao, who cares about the princes and uncles?" ”

Compared with the big worms in the back, going to Liao is just a ghost on the table, and not many people care about their life or death. Something happened but a little relief. And once it happens, it's an innumerable amount of wealth.

Dong Yu's words were not respectful. But he is still a little related to Han Xin, who is the most useful person around Han Gang, and he can be said to be cousins, and he followed his parents to join the Han family when he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the son of the Han family. He Ju understands that in terms of intimacy, in front of Han Gang and Feng Congyi, Dong Yu must be a little stronger than him.

"What about the Queen's family?" He Ju asked casually.

"There is no news from the Assassin's Mansion. However, when the little one came over just now, he heard from Qi Wu, the companion of Li Yanei in Fushun Fang, that Xiang Thorn Shi's family had already sorted out his belongings, but he didn't confirm it, so he didn't know if it was true or not. After Dong Yu finished speaking, he thought about it and added, "But Li Yanei is Xiang Assassin's nephew, and it seems that he often goes to Xiang Assassin's Mansion." ”

If she is promoted to the queen mother, it will not be a problem for her uncle and brother to seal a regimental training envoy. Empress Dowager Gao's grandfather and father both posthumously presented the prince. But the emperor is still there, this time the cousin of Empress Xiang, who is going to lead the team to the Liao Kingdom, is now promoted to the assassination history in order not to weaken the momentum.

When He Ju heard this, his heart moved, "Another one who is not afraid of death." I didn't expect it to be in the queen's house. ”

"Even if you fight to the death, don't you still want to stop and talk about peace in the end? The Liao State can't destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty can't help the Liao State now. What's more, after the deed is completed, it is also a military feat. Wasn't there a Captain Cao who was a privy minister back then? Dong Yu's sigh did not hide his admiration, but he knew that he should not expect to earn military merits in this life.

"Just don't have another uncle." He Ju also sighed, but for different reasons.

Walking to the wall, He Ju suddenly bent down and picked up a shiny crystal, but it was a shard of glass that had not been cleaned up.

Dong Yu raised his eyes and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Find a few more pieces and you can take them to inlay and draw them." ”

"It's just two baskets, is it comparable to those porcelain kilns?" He Ju shook his head and said. The basket containing the fragments of the glassware is in the corner, and it can be seen that there is not much damage.

Since Han Gang used the wall of the old house to spell out a landscape painting, the waste products produced in the porcelain kilns all over the world now have a place to go. Nowadays, inside and outside the capital, especially on the street frontage of various merchants, there are many patterns made of broken porcelain pieces on the outer walls, which are for advertising. The appearance of blue bricks, black tiles and white walls is now out of fashion.

It's just that the glass slag is inconvenient to use like this. Mountains of waste products are piled up next to the porcelain kiln, which can be sold in large quantities. But next to the glass workshop, you can rarely see the waste heap, no more than porcelain, glass refurnace recycling is as simple as steel. Two baskets of transparent fragments can't put together a mural.

"Let's get some cement and put it on the wall to prevent thieves."

I don't know who can get up, and the small porcelain pieces that are useless on the wall mosaics are now not wasted. It's just that this kind of careful calculation is far from the usual extravagant Bianliang atmosphere.

Raising his hand and throwing the broken glass into the bamboo basket in the corner, He Ju sighed, "Actually, as long as the senior minister nods, I will also go to Liao this time." ”

In front of Dong Yu, He Ju did not hide his thoughts. Dong Yu's identity in SF Express is like a horse bearing, and there are words that can be handed to it.

"The earliest way to gain a foothold in Longxi was to rely on trade with the Tubo people, and now the commercial goods sold to the capital, the industry from the Tubo people still accounts for a large amount. But how many people are there in Tibet, and how big is the territory? Although SF Express can be regarded as the world's top business, it is still lacking in foundation after all, but if it can intervene in the trade with the Liao people this time, it will definitely be rich and prosperous for decades, and we can also have a stable and shelter our descendants. ”

In SF Express, it also pays attention to qualifications and experience. He Ju works in the capital, and it seems that his status is not low, but to be honest, his status is still not as good as that of his colleagues who have opened up territory in Xiangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Hexi - just look at the annual dividends. He Ju knows very well that his position seems to be long-sleeved and good at dancing, but if you really have to analyze it carefully, he is just a big butler.

SF Express doesn't even have a store in the capital, only two warehouses, and the industry in the capital is rented to the cotton bank and the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce, and it is only a shareholding. There is no store to take care of, and Feng Congyi personally talks about a large amount of business, and He Ju himself has not much to do.

The semicolon of the capital is only a window to the outside world, and the real core of SF Express is all in Kansai. And the relationships that He Ju has pulled up on weekdays, even though he is a relative of the Heavenly Family, he still wants to give him a face, but it is also because of the backing of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce established by Han Gang and Feng Congyi, so he can be invincible.

He Ju is very aware of this - this is actually the reason why he can live in the capital for a long time - so he never dares to be arrogant, let alone rely on the emperor of the sky to act recklessly. The tree has a large number of dead branches, SF Express has expanded rapidly since its inception, and it has not stopped until today, it is not that there has never been such a person, but basically no one can escape the investigation after the fact, and the trade model of SF Express has also made it very difficult for internal thieves to handle.

It is impossible for SF Express to rise to the top in the middle of the line to replace Feng Dongzhu. The serious thing is to try to gain an official body, make a little more credit for the line, and in the future, you can share a few more dividends, and you can train your children and grandchildren. If any kid in the family can attach the tail of Master Han, he will have some achievements in learning. His old He family can also get rid of his business status and become an official who can hold his head high.

"I don't understand what the master said, but the bachelor seems to have said something about making money a few days ago. But no matter how harmonious it is, it is not a compromise, this matter is the beginning of the Liao State, and it should be dealt with by the Liao State first. Dong Yu smacked his lips, "I don't know how the bachelor plans to make Liaoguo do things, it's not easy." ”

He Ju glanced at Dong Yu twice, but didn't ask the source of this, "The bachelor's foresight is naturally not something we can think through." Let's listen to the orders......"

With a sigh in his heart, He Ju began to inspect the inside and outside of the warehouse again. What kind of situation will become next depends on how his owner negotiates with the Liao.

……………………

"Before the ink of the covenant to demarcate the border was dry, your country raised troops to seize my territory. Does the bachelor think that Da Liao's sword is disadvantageous?! ”

Han Gang's mission was to prepare for the Liao mission, and to perform the courtesy on behalf of the empress. After a few words, he quickly finished talking about the matter, and Xiao Xi invited Han Gang to sit down and have a cup of tea as usual, but the words were not speculative, and they quarreled after only three or two sentences.

"It is really regrettable that the state of the Song Liao brothers has become the current situation. It's just that the current situation is not in Liao and not in Song. If it weren't for the fact that your country's old habits are hard to change, how could we be in danger today? ”

"Since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, even if there is a dispute on the border, we will try to calm things down."

"Settle down?" Han Gang straightened up, his expression was cold, and the words that should have been passed had already arrived: "You can take away the old ways of your country." The alliance between the two countries is not one side is proud and the other side is subservient. In the eighth year of Xining, your country was strong and demanded the north, and Lin Ya was the main messenger. Lin Ya asked for that piece of land, is there any truth in it? The lesson of the previous car is the division of the rear car, Lin Ya came back this time, he was not at ease, even so, in order to protect himself, of course he will do his best. ”

This is not what should be said in a diplomatic setting, but after Han Gang said it, Xiao Xi couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it: "The alliance between the two countries has been decided early, so why argue here in vain." ”

"To appease the people for Father Shang, cutting meat from the Great Song Dynasty is what Lin Ya meant, right?" Han Gang's footsteps stopped, and he suddenly turned around, "I don't know how to advance or retreat, and the reason why things are out of control is thanks to Lin Ya's credit!" ”

Xiao Xi's face sank like water. Blackmailing the Southern Dynasty with military strength is the consensus in the Great Liao Kingdom, and it has been done for decades. This time, it was also approved by Yelu Yixin.

But Han Gang pointed out a terrible reality. Someone must come out and take responsibility for the fall of Xingqing Mansion. Confused by Han Gang's strategy, he did not find out that the Song people had already sent troops to attack, and they could push it to Zhigan.

But he had a bad relationship with the Song people and sent troops to threaten the Song realm, so that it caused the current consequences, if Yelu Yixin refused to bear this matter, most of the colleagues in the court would unanimously give him the title of the culprit Xiao Xi, who let him not be in the country at this time?!

As Han Gang said, it is a lesson from the past!

Han Gang said goodbye and left, Xiao Xi sent him back from the outer courtyard, and he kept thinking about Han Gang's words in his heart. A pawn who hurriedly entered the door interrupted his train of thought: "Lin Ya." Mr. Han invited him to the East Courtyard. ”
