Huang Jinyuan was in a miserable state, and the children of the Huang family naturally supported Qiao Feng. In the past year or so, the salary of the children of the Huang family was several times that of before. It is estimated that now that Qiao Feng ascends to the top, these people in the Huang family will directly choose Qiao Feng to be the head of the family.
Although Qiao Feng's surname is not Huang, no one really treats him as an outsider, so it is not impossible for him to seize his power.
Huang Jinyuan asked: "Does your master know that you are doing this?"
Qiao Feng couldn't say that he had made his own decisions at this time. He stiffened his neck and said, "Of course my master knows. I found him first, and then you."
This was true, but Huang Shang only knew that Qiao Feng was going to do it, but he didn't know exactly how. Qiao Feng has not dared to see his master for more than a year because he was afraid that he would ask.
Huang Jinyuan thought about Huang Shang's character, and he might not be able to do this kind of thing. It's all my fault that I was obsessed with officialdom and didn't take note of Qiao Feng, but now I'm being manipulated by Qiao Feng.
Huang Jinyuan held the account book in his hand, and his heart was churning. How should he explain it to his family?
Qiao Feng also couldn't bear it. Although he thought it was useless for Huang Jinyuan to make so much money, he also knew that this was not Huang Jinyuan's fault alone. He comforted him: "San Bo, I have already said that most of the money should be left in The Huang family is actually not at a disadvantage. Didn't you say that you are working so hard for the Huang family? Now the entire Huang family can be said to be very motivated. In the past, you were the only one to worry about it, but now this group of people has begun to help you. Worry about it. In fact, I have made more overall this year than before. It’s not that I am better than Sanbo, what do I know? But now everyone in the Huang family is following suit and contributing their efforts, trying their best to make the business better. I just listen to their opinions, and as you know, I don’t know how to do business.”
Huang Jinyuan also felt that the Huang family was now in a state of insecurity and couldn't take any time off. That's why he was surprised that the profits were so low. It turned out to be this reason.
It turns out that in the end, I was just hurting myself.
Huang Jinyuan's eyes were still burning, and Qiao Feng said again: "Third uncle, business is business. When we are not talking about business, you are still my third uncle. If you have any orders in the future, just tell your nephew directly. There is no reason for my nephew not to do his best. .”
Looking at the powerful Qiao Feng, Huang Jinyuan's heart moved. With such a high-level Huang family, there are always some things that are inconvenient to deal with. The Huang family is powerful and wealthy, but not as powerful as Qiao Feng.
No matter how hard he tries to have children, he can't gather the homeless and beggars as fast as Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng's power is enough to challenge the Huang family.
Huang Jinyuan also did not regard Qiao Feng as an outsider. Instead, he regarded the power in Qiao Feng's hands as the power of the Huang family, and it was also a very useful power.
When I think about it, I feel much more comfortable.
Huang Shang didn't know all this in Yanping. He was just studying patiently.
In his previous life, he trained two champions in literature and martial arts. This time it was his turn to take action himself. If he took it seriously, he would be worse than his disciples in his previous life, and he would not be able to pass this test in his heart.
Huang Shang, who worked hard, won three points in a row and won the top prize in Renxu in high school. He was already thirty-eight years old.
Huang Shang High School made the entire Huang family happy, especially the old father, who had swept away his previous decadence and was full of energy. There was a big banquet for guests and high-profile ancestor worship.
Even though I was excited, I was also wondering why my younger son, who had always been mediocre in exams, suddenly became so talented? Could it be that he didn't try his best before?
But talking about these things now will only spoil the scenery, and these are no longer important. Even if I die immediately, I will not be worthy of my ancestors.
This year, Qiao Feng, who was in his early twenties, became the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan. Wang Jiantong's body never recovered, so Qiao Feng stayed with Wang Jiantong.
———————————————
In September of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Xu Xi and Zhong E, the general manager of Yanyan Road, led troops to attack Xia, preparing to destroy Xia in one fell swoop. As a result, the Song army was defeated and Xu Xi died. The Song army lost more than 200,000 soldiers and servants in the battle.
Fortunately, the battlefield was within Xia's territory.
In the war between Song and Xia, the Song Dynasty lost more and won less. Even in the Qingli peace talks, Xia won and sued for peace. Professing to Song was just a nice thing to say, but in fact it extorted huge sums of money.
Song was relatively easy to accept losing to Liao, but suffering a loss in Xia made it even more embarrassing.
At that time, Liao, Xia, Goryeo, Tubo, and Dali, who were coexisting side by side, surrounded the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Song Dynasty was very embarrassed. It had a developed economy and a prosperous culture, but the army was not good enough and was weak at the first attack.
The Chanyuan Alliance and the Qingli Peace Treaty were all the result of actions. Only Goryeo wanted to get close to the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty was afraid of the Liao Dynasty and used words but not actions, leading to the severance of diplomatic relations for decades.
They had just communicated with Goryeo through smuggling merchants, and turned around to attack Xia. They thought that Xia could be destroyed due to civil strife in Xia, but they did not expect that they would not fight even after the chaos.
If Huang Shang has been living in Yanping, of course these have nothing to do with him. So many things happened in the past, and he didn't even ask.
But now Huang Shang has become an official. He works in Dutingxiyi, which belongs to Honglu Temple. He is in charge of receiving tribute envoys from the Uighurs, Tubo, Dangxiang, Khitan and other tribes and trade matters.
The messenger who received Xia Lai fell on Huang Shang.
The Song Dynasty was very standardized and attached great importance to the management of diplomatic envoys. There are strict assessments on etiquette, appearance, eloquence, judgment, knowledge, and even calligraphy and martial arts.
Originally, Huang Shang was only the number one scholar in the new school and should not be responsible for this important task. However, firstly, he won three prizes in a row and was recognized by the emperor. Secondly, he was already thirty-eight years old and was stable enough. All the assessment items seemed to be tailor-made for Huang Shang, and Huang Shang was quite satisfied with this position.
The Xia envoy Huang Shang led his people to greet him outside the city gate. His standards were not low, second only to the Liao envoy.
The dust on the official road in the distance was flying, and the heavy sound of horse hooves beat people's hearts. They were all cavalry.
The leader was a young man in his twenties, wearing a bright red brocade robe, a hooked nose, a big forked mouth, a tall figure, and piercing eyes.
However, Huang Shang knew from just a quick glance that he only knew some boxing and kicking skills, but not any internal skills.
He was followed by several guards, all of whom showed extraordinary martial arts skills, and around them were real heavy-armored cavalry, showing off their power.
Huang Shang looked at it and nodded secretly. The Song Dynasty was short of horses, so they opened a tea and horse trade in the northwest, trying to exchange tea for war horses. Unfortunately, they never got such a magnificent war horse.
When this heavy armored cavalry attacks, it is indeed difficult to withstand it. Let alone the infantry of the Song Dynasty, even the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom may not be a match. It's a pity that the number of people is too small, otherwise we can really dominate the world. It's a pity that the number of people is too small, otherwise we can really dominate the world.
Huang Shang only slightly praised in his heart, but did not take this reception task seriously.
