Gao Huaiyuan laughed secretly in his heart, in fact, Huang Yan stayed in the army, in essence, he was still doing things for him, if Huang Yan and others were promoted in the army, the army under their control would still be his strength at a critical time, compared to his own cultivation of the army by relying on Crouching Tiger Village, it was much faster, and he naturally couldn't tell Huang Zhen this kind of thought!

Regarding business matters, Gao Huaiyuan just discussed with Huang Zhen, and Huang Zhen was responsible for the specific implementation, as for how Huang Zhen arranged the person in charge of Jingxi Road, Gao Huaiyuan did not interfere, and Huang Zhen took his own ideas, this piece belongs to the peripheral industry of Crouching Tiger Village, except for a few people in the core who know the inside story, the rest of the people think that the real shopkeeper is Huang Zhen, so Gao Huaiyuan will not get too involved in the affairs.

After deciding on Huang Zhen's development in Liangzhejiang, Gao Huaiyuan told Huang Zhen that he might become the lieutenant of Daye County this time, and Huang Zhen was also very happy for Gao Huaiyuan. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have not been separated, and those who are officials have the right to naturally use them, so there are not a few officials in the Song Dynasty who do business, and now Gao Huaiyuan can put on a layer of official clothes, and it will only be beneficial to his development in Daye County in the future, Huang Zhen sees this more clearly than Gao Huaiyuan.

For this matter, Huang Zhen immediately thought of a deeper aspect, and immediately said to Gao Huaiyuan: "This is the best, the most important thing for the young master now is money, and now we have a very good interpersonal relationship with the prefect of Ezhou, since Lord Gao is so sure that you will be promoted to the position of lieutenant of Daye County, then don't rush back when the young master arrives in Ezhou this time, I will arrange a banquet for the officials here in Ezhou, introduce the young master, and after getting to know each other first, it will be more convenient for the young master to act after taking office!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, at the moment I am in charge of the post of county lieutenant, it has not yet been settled, don't be in a hurry to make friends with these people, not to mention that you are a drunken immortal building, don't worry about the bad relationship with them, if you are free before leaving Ezhou, you can pave the way first, I am still in a hurry to go back to Daye County, arrange for the goods to be shipped as soon as possible, you can also set off as soon as possible and go to Shaoxing to open a branch!" By the way, I also want to remind you that I offended a lot of gentlemen in Shaoxing this time, and you can't let them know about the relationship between Zuixianlou and me anyway, otherwise, they may have to trouble you! ”

Huang Zhen looked at Gao Huaiyuan's indifferent expression, shook his head a little, he really couldn't figure out such a good thing as being an official, Gao Huaiyuan didn't care much at all, but Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about this matter, but he couldn't care less, he had to pave the way for Gao Huaiyuan no matter how before leaving!

After saying this, Gao Huaiyuan did not delay in Ezhou, after all, he hadn't been back at home for more than a month, and he really thought about those brothers under him, and wanted to see how they had advanced the affairs of Zhuangzi in the past month or so! What's more, there is also a Ji Xiancheng who is a little embarrassed with his identity in the old mansion now, and he also has to think about it as soon as possible how to treat Ji Xiancheng.

So Gao Huaiyuan immediately said goodbye to Huang Zhen, still rode alone, rode a horse that Ji Xiancheng bought for him with a lot of money during this time, left Ezhou, and galloped in the direction of Daye.

It had been a long time since he had ridden a horse, and when Gao Huaiyuan stepped on the yellow horse again, he suddenly felt a lot happier, feeling the wind blowing in his ears, and he seemed to feel that he had returned to the battlefield after a long absence.

After going out of the city, Gao Huaiyuan let go of the speed, and galloped up the horse happily, the foot strength of the yellow horse is quite good, and it is not the kind of Dali horse that is more common in the Song Dynasty, but the Mongolian horse used more by the Jin army, although it is not as tall and handsome as the Hequ horse, but this kind of horse is expensive in the thick body, the limbs are solid and powerful, the physique is rough and strong, hard-working and adaptable, it is an excellent horse breed in China.

After more than a year before the army, Gao Huaiyuan has already learned to control horses, and is also familiar with identifying horse breeds, for such a batch of Mongolian horses, he still likes it quite a lot, this horse looks at the age of about four or five years old, is in the adolescent period, there is still room for development, at least can be ridden for more than ten years, before entering old age, for Huang Zhen's kindness, Gao Huaiyuan is very happy.

And this horse is better in being a mare, if there is a chance in the future, breed it, and breed a foal, for being counted as a baby, look at the marks that have been removed from the horse, Gao Huaiyuan can see at once that this horse must be a person in the army, a golden war horse captured on the battlefield, and then resold to the black market, only to be purchased by Huang Zhen at a high price, if ordinary people ride this kind of horse, they may be able to eat lawsuits, but if Gao Huaiyuan has a layer of official status, there will be no problem.

For Gao Huaiyuan's scene of riding a horse galloping on the road, people in Ezhou have long been commonplace, during this period of time the army is frequently mobilized, even the horses that are rarely seen on weekdays are no longer rare, and the soldiers who pass the news back and forth will shuttle between the cities in the future, so it is not too eye-catching.

The road that could only be completed in one day, Gao Huaiyuan rushed back to Daye County in half a day after riding this yellow horse, and this yellow horse did not show a very tired appearance, and the foot strength was indeed outstanding, and it can be regarded as a treasure that Huang Zhen inadvertently caught!

Daye County after the year and a group of people strong, compared to the first time Gao Huaiyuan brought to the front of the battle, the quality has dropped a little, when Gao Huaiyuan just arrived in Daye County, he met this team of 300 people, looking at the sparse team, Gao Huaiyuan really didn't know whether they went to serve in front of the battle or to flee, after seeing it, he shook his head and rode his horse to cross them, towards the county seat.

"High command slow walking!" A voice rang out behind the village warriors.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately stood still, and looked over with some doubts, the name of Commander Gao would only be called when he was in the army, and even if someone knew him in Daye County, they would only call him Young Master Gao, who would call him so here?

When he saw a person in leather armor walking out of the team, Gao Huaiyuan saw clearly, it turned out that it was really an old acquaintance, it was Guo Liang, who had not been seen for a long time, but he didn't expect this guy to be alive.

After seeing Guo Liang, Gao Huaiyuan was very happy, and after jumping off the horse, he greeted him: "Who should I call me!" It turned out to be Brother Guo! How did you get back? ”

Speaking of Guo Liang, Gao Huaiyuan remembered a lot of villagers who went with him to serve in front of the army, among the people who went with him, most of them died in front of the army, including the archer leader Zhang Qing also died in the tiger's mouth, and finally when he left Xiangyang, Guo Liang was the biggest official among Daye's townsmen!

Guo Liang habitually hurriedly bowed to Gao Huaiyuan, was supported by Gao Huaiyuan, and only replied after standing up straight: "It's a long story!" Commander Gao didn't know, after you left, our baggage camp dispersed, the small ones took Daye to the past of those brothers, and then Lord Wang came to the front of the army, and the small ones were under Lord Wang, and later Lord Wang took us to the Tang River to transport grain, but was attacked by the Jin army, Lord Wang was killed by an arrow on the spot, fortunately, the small one followed Commander Gao and learned a little bit of the ability to control the army, and finally did not completely disperse, and finally escaped back. And the little one also died of his mother in the family this time, and he came back from the army to take care of his mother's funeral, so he came back from the army!

When I came back a few years ago, I made a special trip to see Commander Gao, but Commander Gao was not at home, and the little one was thinking about going to the house to meet Commander Gao in two days! I didn't expect to meet you here today! ”

After listening to Guo Liang's words, Gao Huaiyuan immediately said: "I see, I don't know if Gao Tang's future has already been cooked?" You still have to mourn! If there is a problem at home, you and I are not outsiders, just open your mouth! Gao didn't know about this a certain year ago, if he knew, he wouldn't have ignored it! ”

"It's okay! When I came back, I heard from the people in the family that over the past year, the senior commander has taken care of our family, and Guo Liang is already grateful! When my mother left, I also told the little one to thank you for your command when you come back! I've already taken care of her old man's funeral, thank you Commander Gao for your concern! Guo Liang thanked again.

Guo Liang said the same, after Gao Huaiyuan came back from the army, the first thing was to send five yuan to each Xiangyong family who died in front of the army, and at the same time, for those Xiangyong families who could not come back, they also arranged for Zhou Hao to visit, and took care of those with poor family backgrounds. Therefore, many people in Daye County have received Gao Huaiyuan's favor, and when Gao Huaiyuan is mentioned, these people are very grateful, and Guo Liang has always been a hardcore supporter of Gao Huaiyuan when he was in the army, and he is also a temporary head in the township barracks, so naturally his family will inevitably receive more attention!

After listening to Guo Liang's words, Gao Huaiyuan looked at Guo Liang's dress suspiciously, and said to him: "Don't mention any more commanders and commanders!" That's all in the past, you still call me Young Master Gao! Now I don't have a military position, and I'm no longer a commander! I see you dressed like this today, I don't know what you're doing? ”

Guo Liang looked down at his outfit, so he replied with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am also considered unfilial, and I should have kept filial piety at home, but after I came back, Liu Zhixian of the county government insisted on letting me be the head of the archer in the county office!" You also know that now the county lieutenant Wang is dead, Brother Zhang Qing also died in front of the battle, there are only some catchers in the county office, and the archers in the county have also been recruited to the front of the army, and there are few people alive. So now I am temporarily staying in the county government to listen to the errand!

This time, the county requisitioned and sent the township brave, and added it to the military front township barracks, no one in the county cares about this matter now, and the county magistrate ordered the small ones to do this, and now these people are about to be sent to the Ezhou camp, and the small ones are out of the city to send them! ”

Looking at the lazy and lazy group of villagers who were heading towards Ezhou, Gao Huaiyuan sighed, thinking that when he led the team to leave Daye County, didn't the villagers also have this virtue! It's a pity that these people don't know how many people can come back alive, and without a good leader, these people can only be regarded as a rabble!

After Guo Liang saw Gao Huaiyuan, he said to the person who led the team, sent them here, asked them to sign in all the way to the Ezhou camp, and turned around and walked back to the county seat with Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan was also very happy to meet such an old subordinate, don't look at Guo Liang's dissatisfaction with him at the beginning, but after being cleaned up by him, he was very loyal to Gao Huaiyuan under the equal emphasis on grace and power, in fact, he was still an honest man, and he was very trusted by Gao Huaiyuan.

Guo Liang led the horse for Gao Huaiyuan, and told Gao Huaiyuan about his experience this year all the way, and before entering the city, Guo Liang suddenly said to Gao Huaiyuan mysteriously: "Commander Gao...... Oh no...... It's Young Master Gao! In these days, I have heard a lot of people talk about you! ”

"Oh? Say what about me? I rarely walk around the county! I'm not a celebrity, so why do people talk about me so often? Gao Huaiyuan said.

"Why isn't Young Master Gao a celebrity! During this period of time in the county office, many people often mentioned your name, and I heard a few priests in the county talk about you from time to time, saying that you are likely to make up for the county lieutenant of our Daye County, if it is true, the little one will be able to follow you again in the future! Guo Liang said to Gao Huaiyuan with excitement on his face.

Gao Huaiyuan, this sweat! What kind of magical power is his father who is far away in Shaoxing! Actually, this kind of thing is even making a fuss on Daye's side, in the past, Xing Zhutou persuaded him to do a little bit of activity, and took the errand of the county lieutenant, but he still didn't agree, this is good, if this matter is done, it will be a guy who will be despised by Xing Zhutou!

However, after listening to Guo Liang's words, Gao Huaiyuan also pondered in his heart that this matter is probably not only the father's efforts, but also Liu Zhixian has played a certain role in it, the position of county lieutenant is an important position in the county government, and he has shared a lot of affairs in Liu Zhixian. It is estimated that Liu Zhixian is also exercising, and he may want him to take the position of county lieutenant!

After the two entered the city, Guo Liang had to pull Gao Huaiyuan to invite him to drink, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't refuse, so he had to find a wine shop to sit down with Guo Liang, ordered some wine and food to eat and drink, and chatted about some things in front of the army while eating, Guo Liang said with emotion: "When I followed Young Master Gao before, I didn't feel anything, I just felt that Young Master Gao was a capable person who governed the army, but since Young Master Gao left, within a few days, our baggage camp became a plate of loose sand, and soon it was disbanded. The townspeople from all over the country have returned to their respective township barracks, and we have left no one to take care of the Xiangyang camp! Those who are called around can only do some chores, and no one treats us as human beings! After thinking about it, I realized that everyone used to give face to Young Master Gao, but without you in the army, our gang would be nothing!

Later, the county lieutenant arrived in Xiangyang, and we finally got the talent to do things with the county captain, but unfortunately the county captain didn't have your ability, three or four hundred people were like a swarm of bees, otherwise, that time to transport grain to Tangzhou, we met dozens of Jin soldiers, and we were almost scattered, and the county captain Wang was also shot to death by the Jin soldiers when he was unprepared!

If I want to say that my life is still given by Young Master Gao, if it weren't for the fact that I learned a few tricks from Young Master Gao, after seeing Captain Wang fall to the ground with an arrow, I pulled a group of brave brothers to fight back against the Jin Army, otherwise, just those dozens of Jin soldiers would have been able to slaughter us all!

I kind of know what Young Master Gao used to say about what it means to be a bearish soldier and a nest of bears, or I feel down-to-earth when I follow the young master! As soon as Guo Liang mentioned these things, he shook his head with a frightened look.

"Don't talk about that! It's all old in the past, and I'm just an elder now, so it's useless to talk about it! Drink bars! It's okay for you to come back this time, the provincial people are living in fear before the army, you do this archer first, if you can't help me, it's okay to help me, now I have some industry, and I also use the master's ......" Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and stopped Guo Liang's words, and was about to say that when Guo Liang went to his village to help, an errand man walked in from outside the wine shop, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he ran towards him.

"Young Master Gao, why are you still drinking here! Hurry up and go home! I'm afraid the yamen has already arrived in your house by now! As soon as the officer saw Gao Huaiyuan, he ran to Gao Huaiyuan and shouted and bluffed, interrupting Gao Huaiyuan's words.

Gao Huaiyuan recognized that this errand officer was also a catcher under Xing Zhutou, listening to his shout, this guy's heartless words scared Gao Huaiyuan enough, and he thought that something big had happened in the family, so he quickly stood up and hurriedly asked: "This brother, tell me quickly, what's going on in my family?" Why do you say that? Why did the county government rush to my house? ”

When he realized that Gao Huaiyuan didn't know yet, he hurriedly stammered over and hugged his fists and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Congratulations to Young Master Gao!" Congratulations to Master Gao! Look at my mouth! It's not a bad thing, but it's a great thing! ……”
