Lei Hong was surprised and happy, but he quickly suppressed his excitement and ran to Liang Xiao for instructions.
"Master Marquis, Xichuan Sword Sect Jian Canglang once rescued the wife and children of the Sa family. Now he seems to be visiting for something..."
Liang Xiao nodded solemnly: "It doesn't matter, you just go. If necessary, you can notify me at any time to visit this sword sect."
Lei Hong then left with peace of mind.
Liang Xiao watched Lei Hong go away with a look of relief on his face.
Liang Xiao, who was born in Bashu, certainly understands what "Xichuan Sword Sect" means.
The Xichuan Sword Clan is a reclusive family that has lived in Bashu for a long time. Only the best swordsmen in the clan are eligible to receive the title of Sword Sect.
Leihong specially entrusted the whole family to his care. Knowing that the relationship between Bashu and Da Zhou was sensitive, he still came to ask for his instructions, which shows that he is a rough and tumble person.
Such a warrior, who clearly doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, but has his own principles, should read more books, or at least be literate, so as not to suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated.
Jian Canglang was at Lei Hong's home, chatting with Lei Hong's son and daughter, smiling, but feeling restless in his heart: "Why can Liang Xiao take him under his command? Xue Mei is still in Liang Xiao's hands..." "
After Lei Hong and others were dismissed from the military, they were in a very embarrassing situation. After all, Lei Hong had beaten a court official, and even the empress and Zhuge Hui could not protect them.
Bashu actually tried to recruit them, but was rejected.
Is it this group of heroes who have taken refuge with the businessman they once hated the most?
This businessman was someone Jiang Fuxue followed wholeheartedly.
Bringing Jiang Fuxue back from Liang Xiao is even more difficult!
"My benefactor, you are safe and sound!"
Lei Hong's voice brought Jian Canglang back from his thoughts.
After the two exchanged greetings, Lei Hong kindly poured him a bowl of wine and asked his wife to make some good dishes and meat.
"I just arrived in the capital today, and I came here specifically to see Brother Lei. By the way, why did Brother Lei become a servant of Marquis Lanling?"
Lei Hong said solemnly: "After my Marquis became the Marquis of Lanling, Lei Mou admired him so much. He hopes that he and his brothers can follow the Marquis and make achievements so that his life will not be wasted!"
Jian Canglang felt helpless and praised: "I have read the works of Marquis Lanling, and I deeply admire his recent words and deeds. However, how did you become his subordinate? I remember that you had no respect for everyone except Prime Minister Zhuge. Literary people don’t like it very much.”
Lei Hong said with a smile: "There are eighteen of us, and we admire the Marquis's mind and ability!"
Jian Canglang looked puzzled: "Oh? Is he good at martial arts?"
Lei Hong was stunned.
In front of me is the benefactor of his wife and children, but he comes from Bashu...
After thinking about it in his mind, Lei Hong replied: "The Marquis is tall and he is the Marquis of Lanling, so it should be natural for him to learn some martial arts. However, with his literary talents, he is more likely to become a poetry immortal in the future! Although he is a business poet Immortal…”
Jian Canglang nodded slightly and said no more.
According to the information from the Gongsun family, Liang Xiao was his snow sister who rescued him from an enemy of the Gongsun family.
But Jiang Fuxue said nothing about the rescue process, and they couldn't tell whether Liang Xiao knew how to practice martial arts.
Lei Hong added: "If my benefactor has the intention to make great achievements, the Sa family will definitely recommend it to the Marquis. Maybe..."
Jian Canglang waved his hand and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I like to be unfettered. I'm here to visit you, and get to know the Marquis of Lanling who has become famous recently. Since you have joined his sect, you should be loyal to the master and serve the country. .Compared with national events, personal grudges and so on are insignificant. Just treat me to a meal today. I will visit the Marquis of Lanling in a few days, and I hope you can introduce me to him."
Lei Hong happily agreed and said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, my benefactor!"
Jian Canglang smiled and nodded, sighing in his heart.
In fact, he also wants to be unrestrained, but I'm afraid it's not possible...
After Jian Canglang left, Lei Hong returned to Liang Mansion and reported Jian Canglang's request to Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You don't have to avoid suspicion like this in the future. I can trust you. This man is also a sensible knight. When he comes to me, I will get to know him."
Lei Hong nodded solemnly and then went home with confidence.
Liang Xiao sat in the room, frowning.
The old man once told him that the Bashu Gongsun family was actually from the Xichuan Jian clan, and the Gongsun family's ancestral surname was Jian.
What the Sword Clan pursues is to live in peace with the world, but some people are unwilling to be lonely and hope to do something great.
Eventually, these people changed their names and formed the Gongsun family.
The two are inextricably linked, and the Gongsun family can only grow stronger and rule Bashu without the support of the Sword Clan.
As the Great Zhou Martial Saint, the old man obviously has an indescribable relationship with the Sword Clan...
After Gongsun Wuji left, Jian Canglang, a member of the Xichuan Sword Sect, appeared in the capital again, and Liang Xiao had to be vigilant.
Liang Xiao looked through the window at Jiang Fuxue who was writing accompanied by her grandmother, and put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Is it because of Xue'er? She is my half-sister, no one can take her away!"
Looking at grandma's serious look from a distance, Liang Xiao was thoughtful.
With Xuanwei protecting Jiang Fuxue, he was not worried about Jiang Fuxue being kidnapped, not even Grandma.
He could also see that grandma was wholeheartedly good to Jiang Fuxue, and their relationship was by no means as simple as an ordinary master and servant.
But she knew better that if she wanted to truly protect her Xue'er, she and Da Zhou must be strong enough to deter all those with ulterior motives.
So the key right now is to make money!
It’s hard to move without money.
All his sugar was packaged to the Dingguo Hou Mansion, which was loyal to the Zhou Dynasty, and sold in small quantities to the Gongsun family, which saved a lot of worry.
Once the sugarcane harvest season is over, the supply of white sugar will be discontinued.
At this time, the role of other industries is reflected, especially the wine industry.
This land has never lacked the rich and the poor.
There are as many wealthy people who like to drink as there are crucian carp crossing the river, otherwise the Gongyang family would not be able to make huge profits from the wine industry.
Recently, he learned all kinds of detailed information about the country from Zhuge Hui, and knew that the current situation of Dazhou was not optimistic, and he was just barely able to maintain it, so as not to collapse quickly.
If finances remain as they are and the national treasury is stretched thin, various drawbacks will become more and more obvious over time.
Once, Duan Yunyi even prepared for the worst: preparing to issue new currency.
For example, the purchasing power of a new copper coin is equal to a hundred old coins of the same quality...
Fortunately, Liang Xiao provided her with six strategies for governing the country, which finally allowed her to find an opportunity to save Da Zhou, and she gave up the plan.
In the wine shop, Bai Qin, under the guidance of Liang Xiao, ordered a complete new wine.
"Master Marquis, these wines are of high quality and can be sold with confidence!"
The workers looked at Liang Xiao expectantly, waiting for his instructions.
They also know that white sugar can only be produced during the sugarcane harvest season. After that, if they had no other work to do, they would be too embarrassed to take Liang Xiao's wages.
They are both sugar workers and part-time winemakers. They just want to keep working for Liang Xiao, support their family, save some money, and maybe have enough money for their children to study in the future.
Liang Xiao looked at the wine jar in the yard and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, let's advertise first."
