Qiao Feng's attitude made Huang Jinyuan happy, and he also hoped that Huang Yuanxin would not be too embarrassed in his place. He was afraid that Qiao Feng was young and energetic, and with Huang Shang's connivance, seeking bad luck for Huang Yuanxin everywhere, Huang Yuanxin would have no place here, but Qiao Feng was not something he could educate.
Huang Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief that Qiao Feng could be so generous. He felt that he was not very young, but he was a hundred times stronger than his master.
Huang Jinyuan stopped Qiao Feng and said, "Yuanxin is here to learn martial arts, not to drink."
Qiao Feng said: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, Brother Huang won't be delayed from learning martial arts. It's time to drink in the evening."
Qiao Feng simply refused to leave and stayed to practice with Huang Yuanxin and the others.
Under normal circumstances, Qiao Feng would not practice martial arts with this group of people. The difference is too far. Not to mention Huang Yuanxin, a beginner, even the person who has practiced martial arts for the longest time among this group of people is very different from Qiao Feng. , just like college students and kindergarten children.
Today, Qiao Feng purely gave Huang Yuanxin face, and also surprised others.
Huang Yuanxin really plunged into the Huang family to learn martial arts. Huang Shang was surprised. He was not the playboy he thought.
When Huang Shang mentioned this matter, Huang Jinyuan said: "Clan Chief Huang is very generous and will not quarrel with us over such a trivial matter. Chief Huang has just customized two large ships for us, and the price is not haggling."
Huang Shang nodded and turned around to take care of his own business. If it were him, he might not be able to do this.
Huang Shang asked: "Didn't their family always want our shipbuilding technology?"
Huang Jinyuan said: "Yes, but shipbuilding technology is the foundation of our family, no one can even think of it."
Huang Shang smiled and nodded.
Huang Jinyuan said: "In the past, the Huang family's main routes were in Korea, Japan, Luzon and other places, and they were not too far away. This was also the route taken by most maritime merchants. Not many could really reach Persia and Dashi. Huang My family is definitely the leader among maritime merchants. Until our family’s big ship was born and we returned successfully after four years of voyage, Patriarch Huang was afraid that his family’s position in the maritime merchants would be threatened, so he treated us both hard and soft, taking advantage of them. The foundation of our family is here, and we are new here and looking for cooperation. I also wanted to establish a foothold here as soon as possible. In addition, you said that the overseas market is vast and no one company can monopolize it, so I agreed to cooperate with him. These years can be regarded as cooperation. joy."
Huang Shang expressed his understanding. He did not work or contribute, and he was not qualified to give advice.
Huang Jinyuan said: "However, the big ship that Patriarch Huang customized this time is bigger than before, bigger than ours. It seems that he also wants to go further. It's just that the ship they want to build this time is not only big, but also too luxurious. When you go out to sea to do business, the boat is just a tool, and the most important thing is its durability. It is too luxurious and of no practical use. Could it be that you want to give us money on purpose? "
Huang Shang was stunned. It was indeed as Huang Jinyuan said. No matter how big or small a ship is, it is just a tool for carrying cargo. The cargo needs a comfortable environment, and people who go to sea are all low-level sailors who want to make a living. Who will increase their income for their comfort? The cost of building a ship.
Huang Shang shook his head and smiled, expressing his confusion, but did not continue to ask.
Except for the first two days when Qiao Feng practiced with Huang Yuanxin for a while, he stopped showing up at their training ground.
Huang Yuanxin found that Qiao Feng was special here. Everyone here practiced martial arts, but martial arts training was not their main job. They all had other things to do, most of which were related to the Huang family's business. Only Qiao Feng, besides practicing martial arts, drank and bragged.
Moreover, Qiao Feng practiced martial arts alone, and he didn't find anyone who could be his equal. Being able to practice with him for two days was an absolute act of kindness.
Even if Huang Yuanxin is still a fool in terms of martial arts, after watching Qiao Feng practice martial arts for two days, he can still see how extraordinary Qiao Feng is.
Qiao Feng would not show off his advanced martial arts in front of these people. He would practice whatever they practiced without saying anything to teach them.
But just by looking at the same punches and sticks performed by Qiao Feng, you can tell that they are different, even if you can't tell what's so good about them.
Although Qiao Feng could not always practice martial arts with players like Huang Yuanxin, he often invited Huang Yuanxin to drink. The strangest thing was that Ma Dayuan and Wu Changfeng from the Beggar Clan never left, and they were obviously fine.
Seeing the two martial arts heroes surrounding Qiao Feng, Huang Yuanxin was really envious and jealous.
Ma Dayuan and Wu Changfeng refused to leave and stayed with Qiao Feng. While talking eloquently, they talked about the past of grudges and grievances, and the purpose of the Beggar Gang to hoe the strong, help the weak, and protect the family and the country, which greatly impressed Qiao Feng.
Huang Shang looked on coldly and did not stop him. At least the words and deeds of the Beggar Clan are very upright and in line with the mainstream values. They are even a little elevated, which is very suitable for people like Qiao Feng.
Finally one day, Qiao Feng found Huang Shang and wanted to make a living in the world.
Qiao Feng said to Huang Shang: "Master, the Beggar Gang has received news that the Liao Kingdom intends to go south. The army has been assembled and may come at any time. The heroes of the Beggar Gang have already rushed to the front line of Yanmen Pass, and I want to go with them. Contribute to the Song Dynasty."
Huang Shang was a little hesitant at this time. It was okay for Qiao Feng to associate with the Beggar Gang. He just allowed him to participate in the state affairs between Song and Liao. He was afraid that when trouble came, Qiao Feng would still be in a desperate situation.
Moreover, Huang Shang still has a question in his mind. Both the current emperor of Liao and the previous emperor are vigorously promoting sinicization and advocating Confucianism. The relationship between the two countries is relatively relaxed. Will he really invade the south easily?
If Qiao Feng was not involved, Huang Shang would not care about this kind of thing.
Huang Shang found that as he lived longer and longer, his sympathy became worse and worse. Except for those close to him, he was indifferent to other irrelevant people.
Now that the Beggar Gang has dragged Qiao Feng into the dispute between Song and Liao, is it true that the Liao Kingdom intends to go south, or is the Beggar Gang deliberately attracting Qiao Feng to fight against the Liao Kingdom, placing Qiao Feng on the opposite side of the Liao Kingdom, creating an irreconcilable situation?
It's no wonder that Huang Shang is suspicious. He has lived for a long time and it is difficult to think of people as kind. Even the killing of Xiao Yuanshan outside Yanmen Pass felt strange to Huang Shang.
Because that incident was full of low IQ and extremely sloppy, just like Song and Liao teamed up to kill Xiao Yuanshan.
There are not many people like Xiao Yuanshan in the world. So many people pass through Yanmen Pass every day. How could it be so small? It was Xiao Yuanshan who was intercepted by the Central Plains hero.
Even if it was not blatant collusion, it was at least tacit. It is unknown whether Murong Bo was just spreading the news or was involved in it.
The dead heroes of the Central Plains should be kept in the dark and simply played for fun, but Abbot Xuanci should not be ignorant. You must know that Murong Bo disappeared several years after the incident outside Yanmen Pass. Xuanci had plenty of time to pursue Murong Bo. This can be inferred from the ages of Qiao Feng and Murong Fu.
