Li Qilang, a native of Kaifeng, Bianzhou, is the richest man in Bianzhou, with a family property of tens of millions. Although he was young, he was well-informed, not only intelligent, generous, and bold, but also quite ambitious. The rich side is very prestigious in the Biansong area. The Li family has a very strict family education, and has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness from generation to generation, whether it is a business or a manor tenant to the tenants, they are very benevolent and righteous, and have an excellent reputation. Whenever I encounter someone in need, I will give generously and help them. In the year of the famine, the Li family's grain stores would not take the opportunity to skyrocket the price of rice and grain. In disaster years, land rent will be reduced, and even in great famine years such as last year and this year, precious food will be used to relieve the victims.

Almost all of the tenants of the Li family's manor were hungry people who had been taken in by the Li family for several generations in the famine years, and the servants and maids in the family were also taken in by those orphans and beggars on the streets. These clever orphans and beggars taken in by the Li Mansion were well recuperated, and then let them do things in the mansion, and taught them to read, count, and practice martial arts in their spare time. When you grow up, if you look at your personal cultivation and are literate and can calculate, you can enter the caravan shop as a pawn, a tent, etc., and those who have martial arts can be a family guard.

Li Jing listened to it and praised it: "Qilang really has the style of ancient Meng, this move is a great merit, are they all orphans?" ”

"Yisun is a native of Shaanzhou, and his ancestor is a famous Bohai Gao family, and he is the same clan as Xichuan Jieshuai Gao Shizhong, but his family changed in his early years, and he was entrusted to my house as a servant since he was a child." Li Qilang explained.

Li Jing stared at Gao Jichang in a daze, Gao Jichang is only fourteen years old at the moment, and he has not changed his name to Gao Jixing, let alone Gao Laizi. Historically, Gao Jixing was able to become the founding master of the Ten Kingdoms. Take control of Jingnan. The main reason is also his relationship with Li Rang. Historically. Li Rang became Zhu Wen's adopted son, and Gao Jixing became Li Rang's adopted son, so in fact, in the early days, Gao Jixing was actually Zhu Wen's adopted grandson. It is precisely with this layer of relationship that Gao Jixing slowly emerged, and finally became a separatist force. Eventually, he became the founding king of Nanping.

Gao Laizi, thinking of this name, Li Jing couldn't help but want to laugh. Gao Jixing in the Later Liang from Zhu Wen's tooth general to Jingnan Jiedu envoy, and after Zhu Wen's death, he began to support the army and self-respect, and Zhu Youzhen, the late emperor of Liang, could not control him, so he had to be named the king of Bohai. After the Liang was destroyed, Gao Jixing seized Jingnan and listened to the tune but did not listen to the announcement. Jingnan is sandwiched between several potential forces, and it is difficult to make a difference. Gao Jixing did not resume production, but specially relied on robbing several other powerful forces to pay tribute to the Later Tang Dynasty. When the other party protested or sent troops to fight and ask for the guilt, he shamelessly returned the property, and his face was too thick to measure. In order to get money, Gao Jixing also asked Shu and Min to be a minister, asking for a little gift, after a long time, everyone knew his character, so they unanimously gave him and his son a proper nickname "Gao Laizi", and sometimes called him "Gao Scoundrel".

No matter how you look at it now, you can't see that this very sunny teenager will become such a scoundrel in the future. This is really a hero created by the times!

Dong Zhang, who is also one of Li Rang's servants, was originally a sweeper of horse manure, but he is very brave and born a strong man. In addition to sweeping horse manure, he learned martial arts in Li's mansion, and now he has achieved a small success. This time, Li Rang sent him to Shangchang with Gao Jichang, but he couldn't see Li Jing for a while, so he wanted to take the opportunity to attract Li Jing's attention. Li Jing carefully recalled the memories in his mind, and finally found some of his historical records, after Dong Zhang followed Zhu Wen, he was first promoted to junior colonel with merit, and later promoted to Zezhou Assassin History. In the Later Tang Dynasty, Zhuang Zong destroyed the former Shu, Dong Zhang was the envoy of the Jiannan Dongchuan Festival, and Meng Zhishen was the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival, the two fought for Shu, and Dong Zhang's army was defeated after the most Lu Dynasty, and after Meng Zhixian won the victory, he controlled the whole Shu and became the monarch of the Later Shu State. Although he did not become the king of a country, he was also a warlord in the fifth generation.

Wang Yanqiu, the general of Houliang, a general who can take charge alone, once led the army to defeat the Khitan, and is a fierce general.

Liu Qi is also a general of Houliang.

The four servants of a merchant's family actually became generals later, which is indeed quite legendary. One of them is still the king of a country, and the other is almost the king of a country.

"The four of them are such servants, how many are there in the Li Mansion?" Li Jing asked.

Li Qilang smiled, "These four are the best in the mansion, and the others are not on the table." However, among the children who studied literature, there were two who were very smart. One is called Kong Xun, and the other is Duan Mingyuan, at a young age, they are already quite extraordinary. ”

Hearing these two names, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh again. Kong Xun, in history, served as the deputy envoy of the Northern Courtyard of Xuanwei of the Later Liang Dynasty, the envoy of the rent, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, and the envoy of the Cangjing Festival. Although the name Duan Wenyuan doesn't seem to have much impression, Li Rang values it so much, and it should be very good.

Li Rang saw that Li Jing was very interested in these teenagers, and guessed some of Li Jing's thoughts in his heart. He had already heard that Li Jing had a heart for talent, so he immediately said: "If the handsome man likes them, it is better to let them follow the handsome." Yisun can be guards, and Sun Xun and Duan Wenyuan can be scholars. ”

Hearing this proposal, Li Jing was a little moved, these six people are all famous guys in history. It may not be a good reputation, but it's just the environment. Now they are all young, if they can stay by their side and teach and cultivate, they will be a few good helpers in the future.

"Is Shichiro willing?" Li Jing asked with a smile.

Hearing such a question, Li Qilang didn't know that Li Jing already agreed, and he pulled Gao Jixing and others at the moment, and he didn't want to meet the big handsome soon.

Gao Jichang and the four of them were also smart, and immediately knelt down to Li Jing and bowed. Li Jing smiled and helped the four of them up: "In this case, the four of you will also enter the Shengjie army, first give the post of deputy lieutenant and captain of the team, and first serve as a guard by my side in the engineering department." ”

Li Rang saw that Li Jing was in a good mood to accept the four of them, thought for a while, got up and knelt down to Li Jing.

"What does Shichiro mean by that?" Li Jing was surprised, and didn't understand what he meant by this move.

"Dashuai, Shichiro also wants to follow Dashuai, follow the work of dogs and horses, and do his part." Li Rang said solemnly.

Li Rang's vision has always been very good, and he has already seen that the current situation is turbulent. Although Li Jing is young, whether he is on the horse to lead the troops, or dismount to govern the people. are very different from many people. But it's excellent. In particular, Li Jing's concept of businessman and business. It's very different from tradition. Although Li Rang is very rich and rich in tens of millions, he is just a businessman in the final analysis. And recently, Xuanwu Marshal Mu Renyu had some holidays with him, and he was embarrassed everywhere.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and merchants did not fight with the army, Li Rang is now extremely worried about Mu Renyu, but where can ordinary people take care of such things. When I came to Songzhou this time, I originally heard about Li Jing's prestige. I want to ask Li Jing to help make peace. Now, after seeing Li Jing with his own eyes, he has a deeper idea and simply takes refuge in Li Jing.

"It's rare that Shichiro has some loyalty and patriotism, Ben Shuai is very happy, let's get up first."

As soon as the words fell, Li Qilang directly bowed down: "The righteous father is above, please accept the righteous son!" ”

Li Jing hurriedly supported him, "This can't be helped, Qilang is the same age as me." How can I take you as my righteous son, arise quickly? It's so nonsense. ”

Li Qilang was still kneeling, "If the big marshal doesn't agree, I won't get up." ”

"Hahaha!" Li Jing chuckled lightly, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason. Li Qilang can't suddenly be his son, there must be a reason for this. But no matter what, Li Jing is still unwilling to set a precedent for accepting a righteous son. However, Li Rang's net worth, as well as his financial management skills, are not bad. Coupled with his prestige and reputation, Li Jing still admires him very much.

At the moment, I didn't want to make things ugly, so I had to say: "That's it, you know that I never accept a righteous son, if you really have a heart, it's better for me to accept you as a disciple." ”

Zhang Rui, Li Zhen, Guo Chengan and others kept smiling and watching beside them, and at this time, they all congratulated Dashuai for getting another excellent disciple. Li Rang was very disappointed when he saw that Li Jing refused to accept him as a righteous son, but when he heard that he was willing to accept him as a disciple, he couldn't help but be happy again. Li Jing's six disciples are unknown to everyone in the world, and if he can really become the seventh disciple, then the goal will also be achieved.

At that moment, with excitement, he kowtowed to Li Jinglian with a red face and shouted Master.

Li Jing took the tea from Li Rang, and he officially accepted Li Rang as an apprentice, and Li Rang became Li Jing's seventh disciple. Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang and other six people also hurriedly came over to meet Lao Qi at this time, and everyone laughed and laughed.

Li Rang's mood was agitated and he became Li Jing's seventh disciple, and now the Kaifeng Li family was no longer afraid of Mu Renyu. Moreover, relying on Li Jing, the Li family will be able to have greater development in the future.

These competitions, in the end, turned out to be such a result, which was much beyond Li Jing's expectations. Now that he has four generals, two civil servants, and a financial master, Li Jing is also extremely happy in his heart. When I saw Wang Tan and Li Si'an, I suddenly remembered that in history, it seemed that these two people were also the generals of Houliang.

Rubbing his temples, Li Jing carefully searched for memories of the two, and finally remembered them.

Wang Tan, the general of the Later Liang in the fifth generation, the word is beautiful, and he is a Jingzhao person. When he was young, he liked to read military books and was quite strategic. At the beginning, Zhu Wen was a junior colonel, and he repeatedly fought battles, charged into battle, and made military achievements. When Zhu Wen was proclaimed emperor, he was appointed as the envoy of the Baoyi Army and the envoy to the northeast of Luzhou. Li Cunmian came to attack, asked himself to reject the enemy, protect Xingzhou, and was named the king of Langya County for his merits. At the end of the emperor, he served as the envoy of Kuang Guo, and later died in a mutiny.

Li Si'an, the word Zhenchen, Henan Chen Liuren. After the fifth generation, General Liang repeatedly made military exploits and was one of the founding heroes. In his early years, he served under the command of Xuanwu General Yang Yanhong, brave and powerful, seven feet long, and quite ambitious. Zhu Quanzhong held a military parade on the Xuanwu Festival, and he was very appreciative of Li Si'an's majestic appearance. Since then, every time he goes out to fight, Li Si'an has followed left and right, because he is good at flying lance and invincible, so he has made many military exploits. Zhu Quanzhong attaches great importance to Li Si'an, appointing him as a white general, every time he fights with the Huangchao rebel army and the army of Qin Zongquan, the envoy of Caizhou Jiedu, he leads more than 100 people to challenge, rushing left and right, no one can do it.

However, Li Si'an is brave by nature, but his resourcefulness is slightly inferior, and every time he fights, he is not a big victory, but a big defeat.

Historically, these two people also have their own titles, Wang Tan and Gao Siji are very similar, they are both dignified and handsome, so they are nicknamed Yulang. And Li Si'an is seven feet long, rhinoplasty, dignified, but there is a pair of leopard ring eyes under the eyebrows of the silkworm, awe-inspiring, and because he is good at flying the lance, he is nicknamed the flying general.

Yulang and Feijiang, these are two fierce generals, Li Jing almost regarded these two as passers-by A and passer-by B.

After thinking about it, Li Jing simply accepted Wang Tan, Li Si'an, Gao Jichang, and Dong Zhang as disciples together.

In one day, Li Jing's six disciples became eleven disciples, Li Rang ranked seventh, Wang Ran ranked eighth, Li Si arranged ninth, Gao Jichang ranked tenth, and Dong Zhang ranked eleventh.

Wang Tan and Li Si'an originally stood aside and saw that Li Jing accepted Li Rang as a disciple, and they appreciated Gao Jichang and others very much, and they were still a little envious when they were left out. Now that he has become a disciple, he can't help but be surprised and excited.

Dong Zhang and Gao Jichang were even more excited, they were just Li Rang's servants, but now they suddenly became the disciples of the handsome, it was like a step to the sky.

Some people are happy and some are worried, but Wang Yanqiu and Liu Yi have mixed feelings in their hearts. The four people brought by Li Rang, now even Li let himself, three of them have become the disciples of the handsome, but only the two of them have not succeeded. It's too uncomfortable. However, they also knew that Li Jing was the commander of the Zhenguo Army, and their decision was something they could question. All I thought about was that I regretted that I didn't show enough in the ring just now and failed to make the big handsome man eye.

Li Rang became Li Jing's disciple, and immediately offered to hand over all his family wealth to Li Jing as military funds.

"The disciple's family has a fortune of tens of millions, and he is willing to dedicate all of them to the teacher for military purposes!" Li Rang said very simply.

Li Jing smiled, "Ben Shuai knows that you are the richest man in Bianliang, but he doesn't need your family wealth yet." However, Ben Shuai thinks that your financial skills are good, and now I specially grant you the deputy judge of the Zhenguo Army and the Dengzhou Sihu to join the army, and the money bag of the Zhenguo Army will be handed over to you in the future. ”

Li Rang was stunned, he didn't expect Li Jing to hand over such an important practical position to him so quickly. Dengzhou Sihu is not a high military officer, but it is a seven-grade officer, but it is a real work yamen, managing household registration, taxes, warehouse payment and other things. The rank of the deputy judge of the festival is higher, and the judge of the festival is extremely powerful, almost equal to the deputy envoy. Although he is only a deputy rebel, he is also sentenced to Zhu Cao's high position. This trust made him excited to feel like a soldier was dying for his confidant.

Li Jing is also very happy, it turns out that the money bag has always been managed by Zhang Hong, but Zhang Hong's loyalty is undoubted, but his ability is a little insufficient, and he is old. After Li Jing left him in Chang'an, he couldn't find a suitable person to take care of this money bag and handed it over to his old brothers, who didn't have the ability. And handed over to those who were born in the world, Li Jing was a little worried. Now, although Li Rang is a rich man, he is only a businessman, and now he is his own disciple. Let such a person with tens of millions of fortunes take care of his money, this is to make the best use of his talents, and there is no need to worry about his loyalty.

"Okay, the ring competition is over, let's get ready to watch the dragon boat race!" Li Jing said with a smile. (To be continued......)
