Ye Mingsheng looked a little sad when he thought of this. To be honest, if possible, he really wouldn't mind helping the original owner fulfill the wish of the goddess in his heart.
But this difficulty is indeed a bit higher. Although the Murong family where Murong Qingwu belongs is not as powerful as the Lin family where the former chief minister Lin Shize belongs, it is still one of the top families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The court's God of Wealth and the current second-rank household minister Murong Murong Lun was Murong Qingwu's biological uncle. Murong Qingwu's father, Murong Yuliang, was also a fourth-rank bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
When Murong Qingwu was twelve years old, she was engaged to Yao Kaitai, the direct son of the Longnan Yao family, who was also a powerful family member. Although the Yao family was not as prominent as the Murong family, the current head of the family, Yao Kun, was the third-rank military commander of Longnan. He holds 50,000 elite troops and controls the entire Longnan region.
If it weren't for the fact that Yao Kaitai was rumored to be a sick man, and there was cold news that the Murong family felt sorry for their daughter and didn't want Murong Qingwu to become a widow as soon as she passed away, I'm afraid he and Murong Qingwu would have got married last year.
Although Ye Mingsheng's current status has been greatly improved compared to before, it is still a bit exaggerated to want to win love with one hand in such a big family marriage... ·
After thinking seriously for a while, Ye Mingsheng couldn't think of any good way to be with the goddess. For now, the only way is to improve his strength. If he is as strong as Shangguan Hongyuan, then he doesn't want anyone. Who is there?
After thinking about this clearly, Ye Mingsheng stopped being sentimental, rerolled Murong Qingwu's portrait, put it into a red sandalwood box, and put it back in its original place.
I started to think about the conversation I had with An Zhirong today.
An Zhirong is the third eldest son of the An family, so he is respectfully called Third Master An!
The An family where he lives has the hereditary title of Marquis of Kunshan. The family was originally from a military background, and their ancestors obtained the title of Marquis of Kunshan through military exploits.
However, when it comes to the An family generation, the current Marquis of Kunshan, An Hetu, An Zhirong’s eldest brother, was seriously injured in the battle between the imperial court and the Kipchak Khanate twenty years ago. Although he survived, his vitality was severely damaged. , From now on, I can't march and fight, I can only retire and do a sinecure.
Although An Hetu is still the nominal head of the An family, due to poor health, he usually relies on medicine to stay alive and has little energy to take care of family affairs. Therefore, the power in the family has fallen into the hands of his third brother, An Zhirong. .
Because the head of the family retired from the army, there was no leader, and the An family had problems educating the younger generations of the family. As a result, there were some war scum that could not be carried on the shoulders or lifted in the hands, and they could not inherit. The martial arts passed down from the family.
So starting from ten years ago, the An family, which was originally a family of military generals, under the leadership of An Zirong, began to train the younger generations of the family to study in an attempt to obtain fame, and on the other hand, the family began to shift its focus to business.
Therefore, he co-founded Mingyan Tower with Wei Guogong Tang Di, took a stake in Dalongchang Company, and a series of other operations.
It has to be said that An Zhirong is also a figure. Under his actions, although the An family is in the court, there is no pillar or figure.
But in the two camps of Shangguan Hongyuan and Lin Shize, no one can be offended. They are able to take advantage of both sides. Not only did they successfully arrange for a large number of An family's children to join the court as officials, but they also made a lot of money from their family's property. , the family’s reputation rose instead of falling!
Before going to Mingyan Tower for the banquet, Ye Mingsheng had already guessed that the person who worked with Shen Jianzhong must be an awesome person, but he did not expect that this person turned out to be a big boss like An Zhirong.
What surprised Ye Mingsheng even more was the conditions offered by An Zhirong. To be honest, An Zhirong and Shen Jianzhong formed a partnership to do business with the Khitan people. Ye Mingsheng was not surprised. After all, in a poor place like Liaoyang, the hugely profitable business was nothing more than mining. There are only a few types of trade with foreign races.
Although An Zhirong didn't say it clearly, he stationed himself in Fengzhou to protect his caravan from attacks. The meaning behind his words must be that someone is targeting him...
On the border of Fengzhou, the orders of Liaoyang Governor Song Wenhui were not easy to implement. In addition, if Song Wenhui wanted to take action, there was no need to limit it to Fengzhou. The entire Liaoyang Song Wenhui could take action.
Therefore, there are only two forces that can threaten An Zhirong's caravan in Fengzhou, one is the Khitan people, and the other is the bandits!
The Khitan people are An Zhirong's business partners. Although the possibility of being gangstered cannot be ruled out, judging from the implicit meaning of An Zhirong's words, he is still very influential within the Khitan, so Ye Mingsheng guessed that threatening An Zhirong It was not the Khitans who were safe in the Rong caravan.
According to Ye Mingsheng's understanding, although there are many bandits on the ground in Fengzhou, most of them are rabble-rousers. Since An Zhirong's business is so large, there is no doubt that his caravan must be protected by specialized armed forces. , these little bandits and caravans will definitely die one by one.
Therefore, there is only one answer to the forces that threaten the safety of An Zhirong's caravan!
The big bandit who is known as the leader of Liaoyang's green forest is in Sanshan!
Although Zhen Sanshan's home base is Posuo Mansion next door to Fengzhou, Fengzhou is also within the scope of his influence. Posuo Mansion is more than 200 miles away from Fengzhou. For the cavalry team of Zhen Sanshan, it is just a matter of fun. Same···········
It was precisely because he realized that An Zhirong would most likely let him deal with the big bandit who had been running rampant in Liaoyang for decades, behind the Sanshan Mountains, that Ye Mingsheng said that to An Zhirong at that time.
"Why do you think I can do it?"
The answer given by An Zhirong was that Shen Jianzhong was optimistic about himself. Although he did not say it directly, the underlying meaning of this sentence was that An Zhirong did not think highly of himself. It was only because of Shen Jianzhong's kindness and persistence that he was able to do so. Forced to choose myself.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng's eyes gradually became deeper. In these troubled times, he, Ye, has no father's family to rely on, and he does not have the aura of a king and domineering person. If he wants to get ahead, he has no choice but to do it. Put your head on your belt and try your best!
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng doesn't mind being taken advantage of, but only if you offer a price that satisfies him. As long as Shen Jianzhong and An Zhirong put their words of support into practice, he really doesn't mind. , hold your head up and take a look at this big bandit from Sanshan.
Thinking about it carefully, An Zhirong's words are right. Fengzhou is a danger, but it is also an opportunity. As long as you operate it properly, Fengzhou is not a bad place. He is someone's land of dragon prosperity... ·····
