"What good news? Is this another thing?" Ashibei closed the wooden box, his heart full of fire.
Cheng Ping shook his head, looked at the wooden boxes of these ghost owners, pointed at them and said: "Haven't the things been sent to you? This is not a gift."
"If it's not about making things happen, then what is it?" When he heard that it wasn't about making things happen, Ah Shibei was disappointed, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
When the other ghost masters heard this, they were all disappointed and ordered their men to pick up the box and leave the palace.
Cheng Ping looked at these ghost masters and asked calmly: "Don't you want the money anymore?"
Hearing that they were giving out money, all the ghost owners stopped moving and looked at Cheng Ping.
"Is it gold or silver?" Ah Shibei couldn't help but be overjoyed. He grinned widely and asked happily, his face turning into a chrysanthemum smile.
Ajita's thoughts were not as strong as those of Ashibei. He looked at Chengping and was also very happy: "Cheng Shangshu, my request is not as big as Ashibei's. As long as it is money, even copper coins will be fine."
Looking at the green eyes of these ghost masters, Cheng Ping knew that he was wrong.
These ghost owners think too far and just regard the opportunity to make money as money.
This will not make them misunderstand, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble for these ghost masters to fight for him.
Cheng Ping shook his hands and said quickly: "No, neither."
"Cheng Shangshu, did you just say you wanted to give money?" Ajiduo and Ashibei couldn't help but get angry, and they were about to pull out their knives and fight Cheng Ping desperately.
Cheng Ping immediately said to the two of them: "I'm not giving you money, but giving you opportunities to make money."
"Give us a chance to make money. If we can't make money, then we will ask you for money." Ajiduo and Ashibei were not fools, and they immediately silenced Chengping's words.
Cheng Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He just wanted to give these ghost owners a chance to make money.
I didn't expect that these ghost masters were so greedy that they would say these words.
Cheng Ping thought about it and thought of the little sage's advice, so there should be no problem.
"Okay, fellow ghost owners, I promise you. There are blueprints here. As long as you find this kind of thing, it's not a question of paying." Looking at the greedy eyes of all the ghost owners, Cheng Ping immediately agreed.
Hearing that there was such a good thing as pie in the sky, all the ghost owners gathered around and focused their eyes on Cheng Ping.
Chengping opened the two drawings, pointed to the images of things on them and said: "Dear ghost owners, these kinds of things are everywhere on the mountain. As long as you follow the instructions of these two drawings and find the two things you need on the mountain, your family will We can exchange them with each other. The price is, after these two things are dug out and cleaned, two hundred kilograms can be used to replace a Hongtianlei. You can also pay for it."
"These kind of things are everywhere in my place." Ajiduo stepped forward and squinted his eyes to take a closer look. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and pointed at the two things.
Ah Shibei also stepped forward to take a closer look. After thinking for a while, he looked at Cheng Ping and said, "Cheng Shangshu, I have a lot of cottages. I don't know if I still have the drawings. I want ten copies."
"I want ten points too." Ajiduo stretched out his hand towards Chengping.
"I want ten points too." These ghost masters stretched out their hands towards Cheng Ping.
This was much easier than horses. After all, Ziqi State itself did not produce horses. They bought horses from Dali and then sold them to the Song Dynasty.
This is not only costly, but also risky. What should I do if the horse gets sick?
What if the horse is a bad horse? What should Ma do if he can't get the other party's approval? Risks such as this.
The two items, Cheng Ping's portrait, are authentic local specialties from the Qi Kingdom, especially in the west.
This Cheng Ping is actually from Zhaojiazhuang Xizuoying and is also a loyal admirer of Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping not only preached to them, "Expel the Huru and return China to us. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." He also said something that made them even more excited: "Wherever the sun shines, there is a place for the Han people."
Of course, the place where Dali is located was the territory of our Han people during the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty era, and we could not disgrace our ancestors.
After Chengping received three months of training, he came to Ziqi Country in the name of doing business and became the master of Ziqi Country's fine work station.
His goal was to gradually Sinicize Ziqi State and eventually incorporate it into the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Now his first goal of selling Hong Tian Lei and Bao Dao has been completed. This not only increased the resistance of Zi Qi Kingdom, but also won their favor towards Zhaojiazhuang.
The second goal is to purchase Panax notoginseng and Gastrodia elata from Qiguo and Dali, so as to create conditions for the production of Yunnan Baiyao, which has excellent effects in treating many strange diseases such as bleeding, burns, diarrhea in infants and young children, and various sores.
The effect of this medicine is very miraculous, it can be said that it far exceeds all the current Jinchuang medicines.
Gastrodia elata can be used to produce good medicines for treating dizziness, headache, numbness of limbs, epilepsy, activating blood circulation and relaxing muscles, Gastrodia elata tablets, Zhi spasm powder, Wuhu Zhuifeng powder, Gastrodia qufeng pills and so on.
When the dozen or so little ghost masters saw it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. There were a lot of useless things like this in their place.
They were forced to feel excited, and like others, each took hundreds of these hasty portraits.
They immediately left the capital and returned to their villages or tribes, eager to find these flowers and plants in exchange for money.
Bozhou in southern Sichuan has a cool and pleasant climate.
Bozhou became Zunyi later, but it was under the jurisdiction of Sichuan in the Song Dynasty.
Because at that time, most of Guizhou still belonged to the sphere of influence of Ziqi State, which was also the sphere of influence of Dali State.
The Chinese culture of Bozhou is relatively complete, and brothers Ran Jing and Ran Pu are natives of Bozhou.
Although the entire Banshu has a population of close to one million, the population in the city of Banshu is not that large, less than 100,000.
In this mountainous small mountain town, there is a hill with a dangerous terrain, which overlooks the entire Banshu.
There is a villa with an area of several hundred acres on the hill that is built according to the mountain. It has "Yang's" written on it.
There are ninety-eight steps below the gate. From the gate upwards, the entire villa continues to climb.
Most of the rooms in the villa are on two or even three floors. There are more than 100 large and small rooms in total. Surrounded by Berlin and pine forests, the entire villa looks majestic and grand, making people feel like they are looking up.
Not only that, on the right side of the villa, there is an eighteen-level stone staircase leading directly to the top of the mountain. There is also a private garden and a martial arts training ground on the top of the mountain.
It is indeed a top-notch family, and it is indeed extremely luxurious!
It is said that the ancestor of the Yang family in Bozhou is Yang Ye, a general of the Yang family, and the current patriarch Yang Wen is nine generations old.
Our ancestors are full of loyal people, and now they are doing well.
After more than a hundred years of careful management, the Yang family's influence as a foreigner has taken root in Banzhou and continues to grow.
Economically, the Yang family took advantage of the advanced culture of the Song Dynasty and absorbed advanced agricultural production technology and agricultural tools to strengthen Bozhou's economic strength.
In terms of education, Yang vigorously promoted Confucian education and implemented Bashu-style education, gradually Chineseizing this barbaric land.
In terms of military affairs, Yang implemented a military strategy of "integrating soldiers with farmers".
In the political arena, Bozhou unified the Zou people's disputes, defeated Yang Huan who violated the alliance and invaded the territory, put an end to the rebellion of Mu Yongzhong in Nanping, defeated the Shuixi Min tribe, beheaded thousands of people, opened up 700 miles of land, and won cattle and sheep. There are thousands of battles each.
During the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, the Yang family took the initiative to submit an attachment, which was another way of opening up territory for the Song Dynasty.
In short, the Yang family has played a huge role in promoting the sinicization of the entire Bozhou. The two brothers Ran Jing and Ran Pu are the effective proof of the long-term sinicization of the Yang family in Bozhou.
In fact, Yang's Bozhou is a unique existence in the Song Dynasty that was semi-separated in the form of a chieftain. In this regard, they are similar to the Zhe family before the Song Dynasty.
The difference is that the demolition family is the northwest gate of the Song Dynasty, while the Yang family guards the southwest gate of the Song Dynasty.
The two not only have similarities, but also differences.
The Zhe family has always stayed in Fuzhou (Fugu County, Shaanxi Province), but the Yang family took the initiative to share the worries of the Song Dynasty.
The Yang family took the initiative to attack during the most difficult period of the Song Dynasty when the barbarians invaded Sichuan. Through numerous military exploits, they were recognized by the court, and were named the Imperial Majesty Army, becoming the rank of the Central Army. This was unique among ethnic minorities. .
The current patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Wen, is not only strong in military strength, but also has a great strategic vision.
In the second year of Chunyou (1242), when Sichuan was being retreated by the barbarians, Yu Ge was appointed as the Sichuan pacification envoy and informed the Chongqing Mansion to take charge of the entire Sichuan defense.
When Yu Jie first came to Sichuan from Hubei, he had no specific strategic layout.
Yu Jie is better than his predecessor in that he knows his own shortcomings, so he puts up notices to recruit knowledgeable people from all over the world.
At that time, Yang Wen, the pacification envoy of Bozhou, proposed to immediately formulate "three strategies to protect Shu" against the Hu people.
The best strategy is to move the headquarters of the Sichuan War Zone, the Sichuan Production and Construction Division, to the area of Lizhou (now Guangyuan) and Langzhong (now Langzhong), and use it as a headquarters and base to assemble the army and launch an attack northward. Seize Lizhou, Xingyuanfu and other places formerly known as Lizhou Road in the Southern Song Dynasty.
If possible, they gradually occupied the "three passes", namely Wuxiuguan, Xianrenguan and Qifangguan (the three passes are in today's Gansu and Shaanxi respectively).
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were stationed at the dangerous intersection in the Qinba Mountains, thus basically restoring the defensive posture of the Sichuan theater during the Southern Song Dynasty's anti-Jin Dynasty.
If this strategy is implemented, the enemy can be kept out of the country, and the roads in Sichuan can be protected from the threat of war, which is of course the most ideal.
The central strategy is that the Sichuan Production and Construction Department will still stay in Chongqing and choose dangerous locations to build mountain cities and water villages along the main water and land channels in Sichuan as a stronghold to resist Mongolia.
All nearby soldiers and civilians will be moved to these mountain cities and water villages to form a fan-shaped, multi-node in-depth defense system.
In addition to holding on to block the Mongolian attack, each stronghold must also take the initiative to attack and support each other.
As a result, the Mongolian army that invaded Sichuan could not move freely to fight, so that the battle situation could be relatively stable and the rear area would be less disturbed by the Mongolian army.
Compared with the best strategy, the middle strategy consumes much less manpower and material resources.
Of course, it is not without its shortcomings. Sichuan people are more or less subject to attacks and riots by barbarians.
The next strategy is still to use Chongqing as the seat of the Sichuan Production and Construction Department, move all the military and civilians south to the Yangtze River and to the south, and build dense mountain cities and water villages in strategic locations.
Through powerful naval and mobile forces, the cities along the river were connected to form a relatively solid defense line along the Yangtze River.
As for the area north of the main stream of the Yangtze River, let it become a no-man's land, with strong walls and clear fields, so that although the Mongolian army could travel freely in the area, it was unprofitable.
This strategy is to hand over the land in Jiangbei to the Hu people, but the land in Jiangnan is the poorest in Sichuan. The essence of Sichuan is Jiangbei, which is particularly detrimental to people's livelihood.
The best policy is of course the best, but unfortunately the manpower and material resources cannot support it. The worst policy is to hand over the essence of Sichuan to the barbarians.
As expected, Yu Zhen adopted Yang Wen's middle strategy and appointed Ran Lian and Ran Pu from Bozhou to build cities in dangerous places, thus greatly strengthening the defense in Shu.
Yang Wen's best strategy is to regain the three passes including Shukou, which is indeed quite difficult. The central strategy is to establish defense systems such as Hezhou Fishing and Jiading City.
It is not that Yu Jie has not tried Yang Wen's best strategy. He also attacked Xingyuan Mansion. Since the Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses were not as good as those of the Hu people, especially Sichuan's strength was greatly reduced after two plunders by the Hu people, he finally had to retreat.
In fact, Yang Wen also had a long-term strategic vision. He once reminded the Song Dynasty and Yu Jie to beware of the Hu people attacking from Dali. Unfortunately, due to the conservative nature of the court, Yu Jie was not able to do so.
Now the Hu people will soon attack Dali, but Bozhou is not far from Dali.
Song Dynasty was not in a hurry, Yu Jie was not in a hurry, but Yang Wen was in a hurry, but very anxious.
Yang Wen is already in his early fifties. Due to his proper maintenance and elegant temperament, he looks like he is only in his early forties.
Now, Yang Wen is holding a family meeting in the conference hall. There are three to four hundred people representing each house today. The conference hall has not been so busy for many years.
People line up on both sides of the room and sit in each room to taste the Zui Chunfeng tea, compressed biscuits, instant noodles and other tea snacks on the table.
But they were so surprised today that they forgot about the delicious food in front of them.
Because it turned out that Yang Chang, the unknown side room in the side room, was actually sitting with the crown prince Yang Dada.
If he hadn't lived with Yang DaSheng now, he would have almost forgotten his existence.
The two of them were only about forty years old, and they were chatting and laughing with great interest.
Yang Wen, who was sitting in the patriarch's seat, coughed, looked at everyone, and then announced the start of the meeting.
He pointed to the "Da Song Zhonghua News" in front of each room and said: "Today we have summoned all the rooms to discuss, there are three major events. First, the Hu people's attack on our Song Dynasty failed miserably, and attacking Dali has become an inevitable choice. Second, The reason why the Hu people were defeated in Jiading this time was because we, the Song Dynasty, used a firearm called the Thunder to Thunder. This Thunder to Thunder was made by Zhaojiazhuang. Thirdly, I, the Yang family in Bozhou, have already defended the Sichuan Army and the Zhaojiazhuang station. Stand firm, I am Yang Yun, the Yang family, who is now serving as the military advisor of the Sichuan Army. Everyone in the room has also seen it. The person sitting next to the dog is Yang Yun's father Rongzhi (Yang Changzi). Rongzhi, stand up and talk to everyone. Let’s meet in the room.”
Yang Chang stood up from his seat, first bowed to the patriarch Yang Wen, and then sang a fat promise to everyone around him.
Everyone in the room stood up to return the gift and congratulated him together. Some even came to Yang Chang and asked him to take care of him.
Yang Wen nodded and said: "Since I, the Yang family, already have a position in the Sichuan Protecting Army and Zhaojiazhuang, I propose that Rongzhi serve as a counselor in my clan and as a staff member in Bozhou."
Yang Chang calmly bowed to each room who stood up, and each room returned the gift together and expressed their agreement.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Yang Chang had such bad luck and randomly sent his son to travel around. He didn't expect that he would become the military advisor of the Sichuan Protector Army who became famous in the battle of Jiading.
They all lamented why they didn't send their sons to Changzhou to travel around. Maybe they would have better luck?
Yang Wen now valued Yang Ying very much, and then asked Yang Chang to introduce the situation of the Zhaojiazhuang Security Group and the Sichuan Guard Army in detail.
When the houses heard that Zhao Ping was less than eleven years old, Zhaojiazhuang almost grew from scratch in just half a year.
More importantly, he is both civil and military, and his weapon making is unrivaled in the world.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasped, and they all shouted evildoers, and demanded that Yang and Zhao Ping get married.
However, Yang Chang poured cold water on all the houses, saying that there were already rumors in Chengdu that Yu Jie was going to betroth his granddaughter to Zhao Ping.
Yang Wen couldn't help but became furious. He suddenly stood up and slapped the desk, shouting angrily: "This old man is going too far."
In fact, Yang Wen is not young, even older than Yu Jie.
But his heart was unbalanced, so the old man blurted out.
Someone suddenly thought, Yu Jie and Yang Wen are both pacifiers, why can't they compete with Yu Jie?
But another thought was that Yu Jie, the pacifier, had jurisdiction over the entire Sichuan including Bozhou, while Yang Wen, the pacifier, could only manage Bozhou.
This is just like the Provincial Public Security Bureau now has jurisdiction over the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau below. Although it cannot be dismissed directly, it can crush people to death at the official level.
Looking at the eager eyes of everyone at the bottom of the steps, Yang Wen sighed, fell heavily from the seat where he was standing, and said seriously: "How can the daughter of my dignified Yang family be used as a child for others to take advantage of that old man?"
"Tell the patriarch that the little saint's Zhaojiazhuang already has a vassal state called the Kingdom of Israel." Yang Chang bowed his hands and reported the latest situation.
Yang Wen thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect this small country to exist.
He shook his head: "I have never heard of such a small country."
"This is a small country established by the Zhuhu people. Its homeland is in the far west of the Western Region. Of course the clan leader doesn't know about it." Yang Chang had to remind him.
Yang Chang pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Such a small country is insignificant."
What he means is that the Song Dynasty had many vassal states, including Dali, Annan and many other countries.
The Kingdom of Israel was not worth mentioning at all, after all, he had never heard of it.
"Chief, does Tubo know?" Since this small and insignificant country is not worth mentioning, Yang Chang simply used his big move and continued to remind him.
Yang Wen was shocked, put down his teacup, and said seriously: "Tubo, how come this country doesn't know that it once invaded Chang'an, the capital of the previous dynasty, but now Tubo is no longer the Tubo it used to be."
"Patriarch, the little saint will supervise the country of Tubo." No one else heard Yang Chang's words, because he said it to Yang Wen.
After hearing this, Yang Wen's expression could no longer remain calm.
Yang Wen almost dropped the teacup in his hand, but luckily he acted quickly and didn't make a fool of himself in public.
The supervisory state and the vassal state are two different concepts, and they are also Tubo.
Tubo was divided again, and its territory was similar to that of the Song Dynasty.
From this point of view, although Zhao Ping is very young, he has unlimited potential and is a potential stock.
But Yu Jie had already revealed that he wanted to betroth his granddaughter to the little saint.
If the Yang family sends their daughter out, she may be a concubine.
After all, the Yang family is a family that has been in business for hundreds of years, and the Yang family cannot afford to be embarrassed.
But if you marry a little saint, you will get unimaginable benefits.
Yang Wen hesitated for a moment and fell into deep thought.
He picked up the tea cup, opened the tea lid, drank the tea gently, and then placed the tea cup on the table with some heavy weight.
His words did not dispel the idea of some people being willing to send their daughters out to be a side wife. After all, there were too few people like Yang Chang who relied on Yang Yun to get ahead.
"Counsellor Yang, how much is the price of this firearm called Hongtianlei?" A counselor named Yang Lei came out and asked with a bow.
Yang Chang returned the courtesy and replied: "One fifteen guan."
"This is too expensive." Yang Lei shook his head and suddenly made a suggestion: "Clan leader, it is better to build a Hailongtun on the top of Longyan Mountain. This can solve the problem once and for all and ensure the peace of the Yang family forever."
Yang had many plans for attacking the Hu people, one of which was to build a fortification like Hechuan Diaoyu City on the top of Baizhang Longyan Mountain.
The top of Longyan Mountain is about 60 miles from Bozhou, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.
It has a radius of about ten miles and can house tens of thousands of troops. All of them are solid walls made of huge rocks weighing thousands of kilograms.
There is only a steep mountain road to the top of the mountain, and the Yang family plans to build twelve passes on the mountain road.
It not only has city gates, but also has arrow towers, warehouses, barracks, and water prisons in the city, as well as castles and palaces, with stone walls connecting each gate.
If it is completed, it can truly be said that one man is in charge of the barrier and no one can open it.
The other houses thought that this was far safer than in Banzhou, and they all agreed.
Yang Lei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw other rooms agreeing with his suggestion, and looked at Yang Chang sideways.
If Yang Chang is the partial family member among the partial family members, then Yang Lei is the direct lineage among the direct lineage.
Yang Chang relied on his son Yang Yun to become a counselor, so Yang Lei was born a counselor.
Although he is also a councilor, his qualifications far exceed that of Yang Chang, and the weight of his words far exceeds that of Yang Chang.
No one made a sound in the entire discussion hall at this time, and Yang Lei's words had won the agreement of most people.
Everyone in the Yang family focused on the patriarch Yang Wen to see how he would decide.
Yang Wen did not expect that many people supported Yang Lei's opinions, which was beyond his expectation.
He took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "Hailongtun is equivalent to rebuilding a city on the top of Longyan Mountain. It will be difficult to complete without 100,000 manpower and ten years."
Everyone present in the Yang family's room couldn't help but be disappointed when they heard this, even though they expected the clan leader to make such a decision.
"Hailongtun is the last resort. The Hu people can't attack yet. Even if they want to attack, there are Dali and Ziqi in front." Yang Wen saw the disappointed expressions of everyone and explained.
Yang Lei thought for a moment and bowed his hand to Yang Wen: "Chief, the barbarians have conquered the world, and even the Jin Kingdom and Xixia have perished. It is only a matter of time before Dali and Ziqi Kingdom. The Yang family still has to think about themselves. "
Yang Wen did not comment, but turned his attention to Yang Chang.
"The Little Sage has defeated the Hu people twice and forced the Hu people to take the initiative for peace talks for the third time. The Little Sage had already expected that the Hu people would attack Dali in "War Theory" and proposed that Dali must be saved." Yang Chang said to Yang Wen He bowed his hands and replied calmly, "As long as the little saint takes action, it will be difficult to please the barbarians."
"The little saint only said to help Dali, but he didn't say that he had to send troops." Yang Lei took out Zhao Ping's "War Theory", pointed to the article on it, and targeted Yang Chang.
"The little saint did say this in "War Theory"." Yang Chang's words made Yang Lei very happy. He didn't expect that Yang Chang would surrender so quickly, which made him feel like he couldn't find an opponent.
"This moment, that moment." But Yang Chang then changed the topic: "When the little saint wrote "War Theory", he had only two thousand soldiers and horses, and now it is almost fifty thousand."
In fact, Zhao Ping actually had more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, but in order not to arouse fear in the court, he claimed that there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses including grain transportation.
According to Yang Chang's wishes, the little saint only had two thousand soldiers and horses at that time, which was not enough to protect himself. There was no way to protect Dali.
"Although the little saint has 50,000 soldiers and horses, he has to deal with hundreds of thousands of Hu troops in Xi County." Yang Lei shook his head, as if he was thinking about the little saint, "Xixian is not only far away from Chengdu, but the little saint has to guard against it. Hold on tight.”
"No, the little sage's plan against the Hu people is to stay still if the enemy does not move, and I will move if the enemy moves." Yang Chang seemed to be the confidant of the little sage, and he understood the little sage's heart clearly, "Now the barbarians are going to attack. Dali, he must help Dali."
Yang Lei didn't believe it at all, and looked at the north, as if that was Xixian County: "Could it be that the little saint abandoned the great foundation of Xixian County and came to sacrifice himself to save others and help Dali?"
"Exactly, didn't the little sage come to this conclusion in "War Theory"?" Yang Chang said, pointing to "War Theory" to refute Yang Lei.
Yang Lei was still not convinced, or he had no intention of giving up at all: "How to prove that the little saint wants to send troops to Dali."
"This is very simple, because Quanzi is the little saint's military advisor. Of course he knows the little saint's arrangements." Yang Chang said lightly.
Although his tone was very light, he revealed a lot of information.
Not only did his son have a close relationship with the little saint, he was not the little saint's strategist and could even directly make rational suggestions to the little saint.
Yang Wen waved his hand to stop the two from arguing.
He glanced at everyone in the hall, and now people couldn't help but be surprised, indicating that the patriarch was about to speak.
Sure enough, Yang Wen said in a deep voice: "Hailongtun will cost a lot of money, no less than a million dollars, so we don't need to consider this for now. Now there are people from my Yang family working as military advisors in Zhaojiazhuang, and the little saint will obviously not ignore death."
The clan leader has spoken, and this is obviously the final conclusion.
The rooms in the Yang family looked at each other and heard that it would cost millions of dollars, and maybe every family would have to pay for it.
Although this is safer, the money may be completely wiped out by every household.
Moreover, someone from the Yang family already works as a military advisor in Zhaojiazhuang. According to the little saint's thoughts of caring about the country and the people, he will never sit idly by and do nothing.
In this case, it would be best for Hailongtun not to practice.
A counselor named Yang Rong looked at Yang Chang, bowed his hand to Yang Wen and asked: "Clan leader, I wonder if you don't want to buy weapons from Zhaojiazhuang?"
"Buy, why not buy it?" Yang Wen said flatly.
Yang Lei felt that Yang Rong was always acting against him, and he felt a little unhappy.
Although he was unhappy, his expression did not show it.
He still bowed his hand to Yang Wen: "Clan leader, this price is not cheap."
Yang Wen couldn't help but look at Yang Chang. Yang Chang knew he had to speak: "The price the little sage gave Dali was twenty guan, and it did not include shipping costs. It can be said that Yang's was extremely favorable, and it also included shipping costs. In fact, it was almost 50% off. .”
"Patriarch, the little saint obviously gave the Yang family such a favorable price because of his nephew's sake." Yang Rong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said to Yang Wen.
Yang Rong didn't insist on helping Yang Lei, but the two of them never knew.
Because Yang Lei was a direct descendant, he often suppressed Yang Rong who was not a direct descendant. Yang Rong's suggestions were often rejected, making Yang Rong resentful.
It was rare for Yang Lei to be defeated. How could Yang Rong let go of this opportunity and take advantage of it to add insult to injury and improve his reputation at the same time.
Yang Wen drank tea while watching Yang Lei and Yang Rong fight.
The more intense the fight between the two, the happier he became.
If the entire clan is united, what else does he, the clan leader, need to do?
And if these subordinates collude with each other and jointly deal with him, the patriarch, then he, the patriarch, will come to an end and will only have to give up.
It would be best for the clan to be divided into at least two factions to attack each other, and in the end it would be up to him, the clan leader, to make the final decision.
If there are not two factions, two factions must be created so that his position as patriarch can be fulfilled.
Governing a country depends on the way of balance, and running a family depends on the way of balance.
Yang Lei's family has become stronger, and Yang Rong's family must be supported.
No one party should be allowed to dominate, and one party can be made slightly stronger while the other is slightly weaker.
In the past, Yang Lei suppressed Yang Rong's family, but now he should be helping Yang Rong's family.
Yang Wen coughed when he thought of this: "Weapons in Zhaojiazhuang must be purchased. Firstly, they are cheap, and secondly, we must guard against Qi State."
When the Yang family members heard this, they realized that what the patriarch said was true, and they all agreed.
"Tell the clan leader that there are still some swords in Zhaojiazhuang, and they are also on discount. I wonder if they are still available for purchase?" Yang Chang glanced at Yang Rong gratefully, and at the same time continued to ask Yang Wen about weapons procurement.
