The next day, Jia Cong met the messenger sent by Zhang Hu.
This man's name is Zhang Dashan, and he is also one of Jia Cong's personal guards.
In order to control Wang Shun's horse bandit team, Zhang Hu and a small team of personal guards were arranged to be the backbone of the team and responsible for training and supervising them. This person was among them.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the Duke."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "No need to be polite, sit down and talk, why did Zhang Hu send you back? Is there something big going on?"
Zhang Dashan said: "When you return to the country, the great barbarian Khan Hong Tai has been killed by us. Commander Zhang got the news that the barbarians might capture Shenyang, so he thought about telling the news to the prince as soon as possible.
I originally wanted the caravan to carry the letter, but they were a bit slow. In order to let the Duke of Guo get the news as soon as possible, I was sent back. This is a letter from Commander Zhang. I asked the Duke to read it. "
Zhang Dashan said, took out a letter and handed it to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong took the letter and looked at the seal carefully. Seeing that it was intact, he opened the letter and read it carefully.
The letter briefly described the process of bombarding Hong Tai, and also mentioned that Amin was waiting for the moment when the city was broken before letting himself kill Hong Tai, and that Shenyang City might have fallen.
This news is relatively timely, so I know it well.
As soon as Hong Tai died, the first thing Amin had to do was to inherit the position of Great Khan and control the entire barbarian tribe in his own hands.
With Amin's strength and all these years of preparation, it is safe to ascend to the position of Great Khan.
However, it is unlikely to be smooth sailing. After all, Hong Tai also has a son, and there are people who don't deal with Amin. It is impossible for him to smoothly inherit the position of Khan.
Maybe Hong Tai's son will be brought out to talk things out and give Amin some competitors.
Power is a good thing, full of temptations, and it is not something that ordinary people can refuse, let alone the position of the Great Khan.
In view of this, Amin is busy consolidating his position and probably has no intention of fighting anymore.
On the Liaodong side, things should calm down for a while.
It just depends on when Emperor Longqing will send a large army to Liaodong.
Jia Cong took out the fire certificate, burned the letter directly, and said to Zhang Dashan: "I know everything. Shenyang has fallen. Yesterday, I received the 800-mile express from Liaodong. You go down to rest first, and finally come back. One trip and a few more days of rest.”
"Yes, I am resigning."
Zhang Dashan agreed, turned around and left the study.
Li Biao said: "Sir, once Amin ascends to the position of Great Khan, will he fall out with us?"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be the case for the time being. After Amin becomes the Great Khan, he needs to stabilize the domestic situation first. During this period, he will definitely have no time for him to take care of it. Once he secures his position, he may fall out. That's a matter of time.

As long as he continues to attack Da Chu, we will face each other sooner or later. By then, we will be his stumbling block. It will be difficult not to fall out, but it depends on how ambitious A Min is. "
Li Biao nodded. If Amin is too ambitious and is not satisfied with the current territory, he will definitely expand outwards.
To the west is the Mongolian Khalkha Prairie, which is basically his master's territory now.
Xiangnan is the great Chu state, and as a general of the Chu state, the master cannot ignore it.
No matter which direction they expand, they will eventually confront each other. It seems that there will eventually be a battle in the future.
"Sir, should we make some preparations in advance?"
Jia Cong said: "No need. As long as we don't go to the battlefield and they like us, we can live a comfortable life for a few days."
······
Emperor Longqing was very satisfied with the approval of the Supreme Emperor.
A hundred thousand troops were mobilized from various places, and Shi Nai, the Marquis of Bowling, was appointed as commander. He led the army to Liaodong, preparing to recapture Shenyang City in one fell swoop.
After receiving the imperial edict, garrisons from various places dispatched troops one after another and rushed to Shanhaiguan to gather.
Grain and supplies were also continuously shipped to Liaodong, and the entire imperial machine began to revolve around the Liaodong battlefield.
After receiving the order, Baolinghou Shi Nai also led his soldiers to Shanhaiguan.
Go to receive your own army and prepare to go to Liaodong to show off your skills.
Baoling Hou Shi Nai and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding are the descendants of Baoling Hou Shangshu Ling Shi Gong, Jia Mu's maternal nephew, and Shi Xiangyun's second and third uncles. Shi Xiangyun lived in the home of his second uncle Shi Nai because his parents died.
The Shi family brothers were from the same family, and before the rise of Jia Cong, they were much stronger than the Jia family.
But the only fly in the ointment is that the Shi brothers don't know how to run a business. They only rely on their salary to maintain the entire Houfu. They also have to take care of face and pomp, so their life is relatively tight.
At this point, it is far behind the Jia family.
The two generations of Dukes of Rongguo Mansion were both military generals who led troops, and they can be said to have a strong foundation.
Although Mrs. Wang has been in charge of the family for so many years, it is still not comparable to that of historians.
Even the Jia family's connections are unparalleled by the Shi family.
Although the two families are relatives, their relationship is normal. It's just that Jia's mother is here to maintain the relationship.
The reason is also due to interests.
After Duke Rong Guo passed away, it was not only Wang Ziteng who was eyeing the Jia family's connections, but also the Shi family brothers. In the end, Wang Ziteng took over.
Since then, the two brothers have had great dissatisfaction with the Jia family.
I blame my aunt for not helping her own people, but helping outsiders, and she gradually became alienated from the Jia family.
During festivals and festivals, only one's own women are allowed to go to Jia's house to show off. The two brothers rarely go to Jia's house, and they have little contact with Jia She and Jia Zheng.
Only after hearing Jia She talk about this incident occasionally did I know the reason.
Jia's mother preferred her younger son Jia Zheng, fearing that after her death, the relationship with the Shi family would be severed. If the Shi family had connections but did not take care of Jia Zheng, their cousin, it would be in vain.
It's different when it comes to Prince Teng. He's Jia Zheng's uncle, and he's more reliable than his cousins.
In addition, the Wang family ran around, encouraged Jia Zheng, and acted well in front of Jia's mother. Jia Zheng also helped to speak, and then Wang Ziteng was given.
He hoped that Wang Ziteng would be able to take care of his son and grandson in the future.
This is also the reason why Jia Mu turned a blind eye to Mrs. Wang as the head of the family and was unwilling to offend her.
Jia Mu also knew that her natal nephew resented her, but for the Jia family and her son, she had to do this.
In order to make up for the relationship between the two parties, he often took Shi Xiangyun to his side to take care of him.
Shi Xiangyun is actually a link used by Jia Mu to repair the relationship with her natal family.
It wasn't until Jia Cong suddenly rose to prominence and returned from Liaodong that the Shi brothers took the opportunity to resume their activities, and the past was over.
In the past two years, Shi Xiangyun came forward to find Ping'er, helped the Shi family revitalize several stores, and gave them many discounts, so life became more relaxed these days.
This time, Baoling Hou Shi Nai led his troops to Liaodong to participate in the war, which can be said to be an opportunity.
If he could take back Shenyang and get promoted and make a fortune, that would be a piece of cake.
It is said that there are gold belts for killing people and setting fires, but there are no corpses for building bridges and paving roads. This is true at all.
Jia Cong lived in Liaodong for three years and had a deep understanding of it.
War involves killing, setting fire, burning, killing and looting. Jia Cong twice led his troops to plunder the barbarian rear areas. He left no grass behind wherever he went, but he made a huge fortune.
Besides, the loot after victory is very maneuverable.
In short, as long as you win the war and operate properly, it is inevitable to get rich.
I hope this cousin can make great achievements in Liaodong.
Seeing that nothing happened without him, Jia Cong settled down and focused on his business.
My own soap has been put on the market. Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is very popular. Compared with the soaps on the market, it is more than one level better.
This made the merchants who originally sold soap frown.
If it were someone else, they could use some means to deal with it, but facing Jia Cong, they didn't even dare to think about it.
Jia Cong, the young Duke of the Kingdom, was extremely powerful and in charge of the security patrol in the capital. All businesses in the capital were also under his jurisdiction. He not only had the title of Little God of Wealth, but also the title of King Jia Yan.
The massacre of more than five hundred people, one against ten, on the long street has spread throughout the capital.
The key is that the people who were killed were the Second Prince's people. This didn't matter at all. Who could be more awesome than the Second Prince?
If you really provoke him, even if he doesn't kill you, you won't be able to do business in the capital. The consequences will be unimaginable.
Finally, everyone discussed it and went directly to Jia Cong.
I hope Jia Cong can show his dignity and let them make a living.
This made Jia Cong dumbfounded. This guy was making a fuss, as if he didn't want anyone to eat.
You can't just let others earn it if you don't earn it, right?
There is no such truth in this world.
Seeing the miserable looks of these people, Jia Cong was a little helpless.
Although I know that most of them are just pretending, now that they are here, I can't ignore them.
Jia Cong asked about the cost and profit of making soap, and found that it was not much different from the price he wholesaled to the Xue family.
Then after discussing with everyone, I sold it to them at wholesale price and let them retail it to earn the difference, which was no less than what they earned by making soap themselves.
This can also save some labor costs and eliminate a lot of trivial matters.
These merchants calculated for a long time and discussed with each other. They felt that it was profitable and could also establish a relationship with Jia Cong, so they finally agreed.
Building a relationship with Jia Cong is more cost-effective than earning more money.
Since then, Jia Cong has taken over the soaps and soaps in Shenjing City and became the largest wholesaler.
After Xue Baochai found out, he couldn't help but admire him.
In this way, everyone is helping Jia Cong make money. This is such a good idea, and I don't know what to think.
"Brother Cong, my sister sometimes wants to open your head to see what's inside? Your fantastic ideas and ways to make money are one after another, which makes people envious. "
Jia Cong bared his teeth and said: "Sister Bao, I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You want to murder your husband. This is not done yet. Don't you want to be a widow?"
Xue Baochai blushed and glared at Jia Cong fiercely.
"Bah, you know you are full of nonsense and have no taboo at all. Someone should really take care of you."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Sister Bao, move here and take care of me. I will definitely listen to you."
Xue Baochai rolled her eyes at Jia Cong and said, "You're talking nonsense again. What does it look like for my sister to move here now? She's nameless and has no status, and she's drowning in spitting stars?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Whose Tumo Xingzi is so powerful and can drown people, is it still Tumo Xingzi? It has become a river. It is really eloquent. Brother, I would like to see it."
"Kuh, uh, uh..."
Xue Baochai was immediately amused by Jia Cong's words. He actually used his eloquent words here. It was really hilarious.
"Brother Cong, you learned this from some half-hearted gentleman. It's really ridiculous."
Jia Cong said: "If you say bad things about my husband, be careful if she finds out and punishes you."
Xue Baochai said: "Who is your husband? He is so arrogant when he misleads others. Maybe he knows you are using words indiscriminately and will deal with you first."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I learned this from Sister Lin. If you say she knows you say she is a dabbler, will she deal with you?"
Xue Baochai curled her lips and said, "If Lin Yatou finds out that you ruined her reputation, she will definitely deal with you first."
Jia Cong said: "You guessed wrong. Sister Lin can't beat me. If she wants to deal with me, isn't that a meat bun beating a dog?"
Xue Baochai burst out laughing, pointed at Jia Cong and said with a smile: "You really should find a good husband and study hard. According to your words, Lin Yatou has become a meat bun, and you are not a dog? Haha? Haha..., it’s so funny.”
Seeing Mei Xue's trembling smile, Jia Cong was speechless.
Isn't it just a quick talk and an inappropriate metaphor? It's just a wrong metaphor. Is it so funny?
"Smile, smile. If you smile again, your teeth will fall out. If your big teeth fall off, you won't be able to eat in the future. Do you want me to chew it up and feed it to you mouth to mouth?"
Xue Baochai suppressed a smile, her face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she was suppressing the blush or blushing from shyness.
"Bah, you have a pretty good idea. My sister has very good teeth, but she can't use you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Bao, if I don't even dare to think about it, how can I succeed? If I follow the rules and don't dare to have thoughts about Sister Bao, how can I win your heart? How can I get it?" Where is this versatile beauty like you?
Therefore, this person must dare to think and act. Do you know the difference between a frog and a toad?
The frog sits in the well and looks at the sky and sticks to the rules, while the toad dares to dream and wants to eat swan meat. Finally, the frog went to the dinner table and became a dish for people, while the toad went to the altar and became the golden toad that everyone worshiped. "
After listening to Jia Cong's words, Xue Baochai thought about it carefully and found that there was some truth in it, but it was all nonsense.
Is it possible that this guy thinks about these weird things every day?
"Brother Cong, although what you say makes sense, the analogy is not very good. According to what you say, wouldn't you become a toad?"
After saying that, he covered his mouth and chuckled.
This little girl keeps making fun of herself today, she is so cowardly.
"Sister Bao, today I'm going to make a toad. I have to taste your swan meat."
He stretched out his hand and pulled Xue Baochai over. Amidst Xue Baochai's exclamations, he lowered his head and kissed her mouth...
