Chapter 62: Not optimistic

Yang Zhi happily returned to his room, but saw Li Dayan and Ji Hong standing outside the door with sad faces, and was about to ask, Yelu Deyuan had already come out and said: "Yang Tongzhi came back just in time, I have a friend, a rich businessman from Xijing Naturalization Prefecture, named Han Chuanhong, I heard that you are in charge of the merchant group of the resentful army, and I want to talk to you. Come, let me introduce you. ”

Yang Zhi followed Yelu Deyuan into the house, and immediately saw Han Chuanhong, and Yelu Deyuan introduced the two parties. Han Chuanhong was dressed in the silk costume of Jiangnan Tianbifang, with a jade pendant inlaid with night pearls hanging from his waist, the jade tree was in the wind, a pair of eyes were blazing, admiring the tiger wing bow, and the four bodyguards stood in different positions, as if ready to meet the unexpected.

Han Chuanhong put the Tiger Wing Bow back into the bow box, stood up and said, "It turns out that the legend is true, Yang Tong killed the ghost arrow Pang Ji, and then the matter will be much easier." When the ghost arrow assassinated the commander of ten thousand and the general of Zhenyuan, He Zhe, the He family offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold for Pang Ji's head, Pang Ji died in Bianliang, and he never knew who killed him. ”

As a businessman, Yang Zhi knows the value of this tiger wing bow, and sells it alone, at least three or five hundred taels of gold, if he encounters something he particularly likes, it is not impossible to sell one thousand taels of gold. Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "Thank you Brother Han for your kindness, I didn't kill Pang Ji for a bounty, if the He family believes that they are willing to give, I will accept it, it doesn't matter if I don't want to give it, the tiger wing bow is a rare weapon, and I have to go through the battlefield later, and I can't do it." ”

Han Chuanhong said without any dissatisfaction or change on his face: "Yang Tong's ambitions are high, even if I didn't say it, I just don't know how you plan to build the merchant group of the resentful army?"

Yang Zhi did not hide it and said: "Zhongjing has become the front line, I am going to go and talk about it, to see if there are any active businessmen in the local area, I wonder if Brother Han is interested?"

Since Han Chuanhong is here, he must be interested, and said with a smile: "The most important thing to attract the merchant group is the army itself, as long as you continue to win the battle and can grab materials from the opponent, the merchant group will come to hear the wind, otherwise, even if you have great sincerity, the merchant will avoid it, after all, when the army fails, the merchant not only can't make money, but even his life is worried." ”

Han Chuanhong is not optimistic about the prospects of the resentful army, Yang Zhi can only be silent, one of the main and deputy coaches is the national teacher Master Tianxin, and the other is Yelu Deyuan's father Yelu Neithorn, Yelu Deyuan is standing aside, Yang Zhi said that it is not good. On the contrary, Yelu Deyuan said indifferently: "The resentment of the resentful army is too heavy, and whoever brings it is the same." ”

Yang Zhi saw Li Dayan's head flashing outside the door out of the corner of Yang Zhi's eyes, and his heart suddenly moved, he lacked scrutiny about the origin of the two little beggars, just like Han Chuanhong, many people knew that they would flee to Liao, and they had already prepared a way to greet them. Yang Zhi looked up and saw Han Chuanhong's calm gaze, and said lightly: "The army is impermanent, maybe after Master Tianxin arrives, the resentful army will shine, if Brother Han participates early, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money." ”

Han Chuanhong smiled slightly and said, "I wish to hear and see." ”

Yang Zhiwang looked at Yelu Deyuan, and Yelu Deyuan added casually: "Chuanhong is a descendant of Han Derang. ”

Han Derang was the chief general of the Liao army who killed Yang Ye that year, so the situation of the Yang family to Han Derang has been handed down, Han Derang assisted the Empress Dowager Xiao, and made great contributions to the Liao State, becoming the only Han and courtiers buried in the mausoleum of the Great Liao Emperor, because Han Derang had no children, the Liao court then stipulated that each generation of the royal family should contribute a prince as the heir of Han Derang, and at the beginning of the Liao Shengzong's son Yelu Zongye was the heir;

Yang Zhi suddenly woke up, this is a trap, the person in front of him is Yelu Ao Lu Hu, the king of the Jin Kingdom of Liao, as long as he collides with Yelu Ao Lu Hu, even Master Tianxin will not be able to keep his head. Yang Zhi understood that he couldn't pretend that he didn't know at all, so he looked at Yelu Deyuan suspiciously and said, "Han Derang has no descendants. ”

Yelu Ao Lu Hu laughed, Yang Zhi's move showed that Yang Zhi didn't want to hide anything, and said simply: "This king, Yelu Ao Lu Hu, succeeded Han Derang as a descendant." ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Yelu Ao Lu pulled Yang Zhi up and said: "It is my great luck that Yang Zhi can come to Beijing, and I hope to tell the truth, how to raise the grain and grass of the resentful army?"

Yang Zhi instantly understood that Yelu Nei's father and son were the ones who supported Yelu Ao, and said calmly: "Weichen means to raise war with war, and among the more than 5,000 people, there are always people who are not afraid of death and are strong in martial arts. Those who do not fight take advantage of the autumn to hunt and fish, pickle fish and game, and use them as food reserves; and go to collect woolen grass to make cotton clothes, and this morning, Weichen has ordered 3,000 cattle and sheep from Tianxiong Temple, and will find a way to purchase them later. ”

A look of surprise flashed on the faces of Yelu Ao Lu Wei and Yelu Deyuan, and Yelu Deyuan praised and said: "Yang Tong does have insights, but there are also some difficulties in salt, I heard that the Jurchens raise pigs to solve the winter food, and the pigs are much fatter than ordinary pigs, if only I knew the secret." ”

As soon as Yang Zhi heard about raising pigs, he still had fat pigs, and he remembered many novels, and he also saw castrated pigs in Bianliang, and the castrated pigs lost their reproductive function, and their temperament became docile, which was easy to manage and improve the quality of meat, and they grew fat and full of buttocks. Yang Zhi guessed that the Jurchens raised steers, smiled and said, "This problem is not big, if there are pig farmers in Beijing, we can go and see it today." ”

Yelu Deyuan's family has a pig farm outside Seoul, Yelu De Yuanli arranged his own affairs, everyone rode a horse just a stick of incense, Yang Zhi said to the pig farmer to cut off the pig's **, the pig farmer was stunned, but seeing that Yang Zhi paid for a pig, he still did it carefully according to Yang Zhi's instructions. After watching the operation process, Yelu Ao immediately asked his subordinates to go to the imperial city to transfer a eunuch who could castrate, and castrated four pigs successively.

Yang Zhi said to the pig farmer: "These pigs will become lazy and don't like to move, but they will grow fat, you have to write them down." ”

Yelu Deyuan said in disbelief: "It's that simple, Yang Zhi, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it." ”

On the way back to the city, the group rode slowly, and Yelu Ao said to Yang Zhi: "I will arrange someone to replace you with the He family's bounty."

Yes, but you better be prepared to sell the Tiger Wing Bow, my uncle Yeluchun likes to collect treasure bows the most, and the Tiger Wing Bow is the weapon of my famous general Yelu Xuan, and Yeluchun is sure to want it. ”
