Now the best Lang Zhong in Jianghuai has opened a medical center in Xuzhou, no matter what the income from consultation and medicine is what he earns every year, he is naturally willing to stay here for a long time, and Yunshan Xing also let him invest in the business of the medicine store, Xuzhou is such a land hub, the transit trade of medicinal materials is huge, and the profits in it can be imagined, because of this temptation, more and more Lang Zhong comes to Xuzhou and Pizhou, which is exactly the effect that Zhao Jin wants.

"You're busy, why come to my side and delay." Seeing Zhao Jin coming, Zhao Zhentang was very impatient, and He Cuihua, who was waiting on the side, wanted to complain but didn't speak.

Zhao Jin sat down with a smile, but his mood was not as happy as he was on the table, his father's Zhongqi was already very insufficient, and his body was very emaciated, this illness may not be as light as Lang Zhong said, was it his father who told or threatened, Zhao Jin didn't want to ask, and he didn't dare to ask.

"You're done with things over there? Now the situation is so tight, you deal with it in advance, I have your mother and the people below to serve me, don't worry about it. Zhao Zhentang was helped to sit on the bed and spoke.

"It's always busy, and it's easy to spare time, Dad, don't worry so much, just take care of your illness." Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

Zhao Zhentang stared at Zhao Jin, looked at it very carefully, and said in a false voice while watching: "I can't control you, when you were ten years old, you went to the court with me to watch the punishment, and scared you so much that you almost died, and when you woke up, I couldn't control you, who would have thought that you had walked such a road now, I couldn't even dream of it." ”

"Dad, do you want water?" Zhao Jin blew the warm water of the tea bowl.

"I've drunk it a long time ago, you don't have to worry about this, talk with me for a while." By this time, Zhao Zhentang didn't say what he was busy with.

Zhao Jin smiled and nodded, Zhao Zhentang was silent for a moment and then said: "It's not difficult for you to win this time, it is said that it is a battle between the army, but in fact there is no hardship, this time it is so easy, what can you do next time you come to the army?" ”

Speaking of this, a mixture of pride and contempt appeared on Zhao Zhentang's face: "The old brother in the guard asked me to remind you to be careful, what is said that the Ming Dynasty has such a population, millions of soldiers and horses can be gathered, you must not underestimate the enemy, what does he know about a farmer who has never been out, and millions of men and horses, it is a big deal to be able to make up 100,000, this time the imperial court took out more than 50,000 officials and soldiers at once, I was really shocked, and I thought it was really fast." ”

Zhao Zhentang said very happily, he has his own knowledge, and his brother has been in the army outside for many years, so he naturally understands the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and understands what kind of concept it is to gather tens of thousands of troops, when the imperial court sent 60,000 troops to besiege, Zhao Zhentang was indeed worried, but after Zhao Ziying's victory and quick victory, Zhao Zhentang put his mind at ease, and he didn't even care about the siege of more soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court in the future.

"What is your battalion called now, the leader of the team leads tens of thousands, and he can be a general in Daming, what is it called on your side, and the soldiers below are called family members or something, which always makes people feel that the name is not right, and those who have the ability do not dare to come over and take refuge, you have to change your name this time." Zhao Zhentang said again.

Zhao Jin groaned and said: "I still can't shout out too big, if I can not tear my face, I still want to be so slow, now I wonder if it is called a general, Zhao Ziying will be changed to Zhao Jiajun, and the others will not become too big." ”

These words are not answered because they asked, but there are results in the discussion as early as possible, Zhao Ziying's current situation is that he is not afraid of a big war but does not want a big war, although all parties are responding, and even the gentry and powerful who were originally estranged from Zhao Ziying are suggesting, saying that they want to go all out to the end, but Zhao Jin still feels that he has not completely digested the territory of the control zhì.

"If it is completely used by me, there will not be so many dissenting people, there will not be so many internal responses, but it is also related to our early Taitaoguang obscurity, some people either can't understand, or don't know the good and bad, but then, we can let go and do something, and control all the qiē in the control area in our hands, human, material and financial resources can be used by me, and after we really get to this step, we will talk about the next step."

"If it can develop so steadily, there will be an outbreak, but these are just words, what to do depends on the next step of the imperial court and Wei Zhongxian, if you really want to tear your face and beat it, then we will follow the duck and put it on the shelf."

Zhao Jin and his partners said so in their discussions and letters, but now there is no need to maintain that ambiguity and ambiguity, some things can be done clearly, such as the name and structure of Zhao Ziying, which was originally seen by outsiders as a first-class training of the Xiangyong Regiment, but now it is to be more formalized, and how to discuss it specifically, but Zhao Jin has already rejected the titles of King of Heaven, King Xu and General of the World

Hearing Zhao Jin's answer, Zhao Zhentang nodded slowly, and said with emotion: "Thanks to the promise of your second uncle back then, let him teach you to practice martial arts, and cultivate your calm temperament that is not impatient or impatient, if your second uncle sees your appearance today, I don't know how happy it will be." ”

The old man said a few words, couldn't help shedding tears, and wiped it with his hands in a panic, this scene made Zhao Jin feel very uncomfortable, but he still kept a smiling face, and then helped his father wipe it, but Zhao Zhentang's feelings calmed down quickly, and he asked with concern: "This march and war must have grain and grass, this is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, are the people below you enough to eat?" ”

"It's enough to eat, you can grow it yourself and store it, and then buy grain everywhere, Dad, you don't believe it, we are still fighting with the court, and those grain merchants came to the door to sell at a low price, and my son thought it was a bureau at that time." Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

This situation everyone did not expect, when the Qingjiangpu martial arts field failed, Zhao Jin led the team to the south and north, when the news of the first victory reached Qingjiangpu, the grain merchants who were not liquidated and copied the family came up, and the conditions proposed were very simple, two percent lower than the market price, but the cash must be paid within a certain period of time.

Xuzhou soldiers and horses are fighting with the imperial court officials and soldiers, it is said that these grain merchants who have received the emperor's favor should be clear of the Zhao Ziying wall, even if a fire burns the granary, they should not come to the door to sell, or sell at a low price, what makes Yunshan Xing even more dumbfounded is that the officials of the Qingjiangpu Branch of the Ministry of Household and the ambassador of the Caoyun Warehouse are the most active, and they have nothing to do with the killing.

I thought there was fraud in it, but Zhao Ziying couldn't figure out the joint, and finally let Geng Mancang, the trade director of Huai'an North District, come here to handle it, he was the most proficient in grain trade, Geng Mancang knew the truth after eating two banquets, the reason was very simple, to start fighting, Caoyun was cut off, at this time the new grain in Jiangnan came, and the old grain accumulated everywhere in Caoyun could not be handled, if it was stored like this, the granary was not enough, it would inevitably rot and waste, and it could not be turned into cash, so it was better to sell it to Zhao Ziying for money as soon as possible.

And everyone thinks very far-reaching, Xuzhou is strong, the court is powerful, in the long run, the court will win, Xuzhou falls, who will pay so much cash to buy grain, when the grain transaction can only restore the former appearance, slow shipment, barter, it is better to sell it when it can be sold, correspondingly, it is the large increase in the number of orders for Songjiang cloth and the price of Xuzhou cloth is unsalable, everyone feels that the war together, Xuzhou can not produce so much cloth, and then we still have to buy Songjiang cloth.

On the occasion of the winter and spring, the Zhao Ziying is afraid of delaying the spring ploughing, and then delaying the food supply of the whole year, no farming is unstable, there is no food in a panic, this is the root of the Zhao Ziying, when someone is worried about sending food over, it is really overjoyed, not to mention the money earned in various businesses, the wealth and silver money obtained from the confiscation of Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou tycoons are enough, and they are directly spent.

In this first month, the Jiading regiment of the Zhao Ziying was fighting, and the laborers of the Zhuang households were not idle, building a granary in the area controlled by the Third Brigade, and then using the fleets of the Yu family and the Li family, a boatload of grain was transported from Qingjiangpu to Haizhou, and stored in the granary near the port of Haizhou.

In the midst of this busyness, the people of trade and farming do not feel right, could it be that these grain merchants who came to the door were staring at the confiscated property of the wealthy merchants? Just exchange this with food? Then, Zhao Ziying was able to use the sea fleet to transport grain, why these Cao Yun officials and grain merchants were unwilling to do it, to say that the Ming Dynasty taboo shipping, Tianjin Wei to Dengzhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion to Liaodong military food and military supplies, as well as Songjiang sand fleet to Tianjin Wei commercial trade, the so-called Beiyang route, these routes have been decades old, cut off Cao Yun, and also take the sea route to transport Cao grain to the north.

But no one did this, whether the court was safe or not, whether the capital was short of food, had nothing to do with everyone in Qingjiangpu, what loyalty, what national righteousness, at this juncture, it was not as important as making a fortune.

"Dad, you don't believe it, those salt officials in Haizhou and Yangzhou have found us, saying that they will swallow all last year's balance and this year's salt profits, and then divide the account in three or seven, let's take seven" Speaking of this, Zhao Jin was also a little elated, but then he stopped, because he found that his father Zhao Zhentang was leaning over there and falling asleep.

Zhao Jin lightly placed Zhao Zhentang away, and then went out of the house, his mother He Cuihua followed, and whispered in the courtyard: "Your father often says in private, you are busy with big things now, don't care what we do, you do this big thing well, the ancestors and ancestors are all happy, there is no need to go back often at home, there are so many people serving"

"Mother, it's not that time yet, don't say such unlucky words." Zhao Jin understood the hidden meaning of his mother's words, and directly interrupted.
