Yang Tian stood up excitedly, his eyes widened, "Who the hell are you?"
No wonder he reacted violently, the word "Jingzhao" is too sensitive. Recently, Wanyan Wushu issued a series of orders prohibiting people from the Central Plains from communicating with Jingzhao. Anyone who disobeys the order will have their entire family executed.
At this critical moment, the other party said that he was from Jingzhao. How could Yang Tianfang not be surprised?
Hu Yanlei said coldly: "If Dongzhu Yang thinks that his people are rich, then we have no need to talk, and Dongzhu Yang can leave."
Yang Tianfang snorted, "Don't use such words to sway me. I'm not a rich man, but you can't fool me either."
"I might as well tell Dongzhu Yang frankly that I am a general under the command of Prince Lingwu. My name is Hu Yanlei and I have come to see Dongzhu Yang on the order of the king."
"Where's the evidence?"
Hu Yanlei took out a silver medal and put it on the table, "This is my identity card. I am the commander of the Western Army. If Yang Dongzhu thinks this military medal is fake, I have nothing to say."
Of course Yang Tianfang would not think that the silver medal was fake. He was a commoner, so who would be so boring and spend so much effort to deal with him.
Yang Tianfang sat down slowly, pondered for a moment and asked: "Is it because of the incident in the Beijing News that you, the prince, are looking for me?"
He is not stupid at all. His only value is the "Beijing News" back then. He was the general manager, and just now the other party called him Yang Da Manager.
Hu Yanlei saw that the other party sat down, which meant that the other party was not repulsive in his heart. He was secretly happy, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Tianfang, "This is an autographed letter from my prince to Yang Dongzhu, I am just the messenger.
"
Although Yang Tianfang has been dormant for ten years, he was dealing with various powerful people ten years ago. Even Cai Jing hated him, but there was nothing he could do about him. Of course, this was also related to his backstage background. Cai Jing could not mess with him.
Pick up relatives and go home.
Although he saw many important figures, Chen Qing's autograph letter still made Yang Tianfang dare not despise it. He took it respectfully, opened the letter and read it carefully. The content of the letter was full of praise for his former newspaper, and then the conversation changed,
It is a pity that the "Beijing News" will be annihilated from now on. He is willing to fund Yang Tianfang to re-establish the "Beijing News" and make the "Beijing News" the largest newspaper in the world.
Yang Tianfang was silent for a moment. Logically speaking, the Beijing News was not his property, he was just the boss. If Chen Qing wanted to take over, he should discuss it with the Xiang family, but the Xiang family was still a slave in the border town of the North. Obviously Chen Qing just wanted to
It's just in the name of "Beijing News", and then I asked myself to run the newspaper for him.
Thinking of this, Yang Tianxin felt a little proud. Chen Qing came to invite him, which also proved that he was truly the first person to run newspapers in the world.
Of course Yang Tianfang wants to make a comeback, otherwise what would he do with fifteen of the best craftsmen? His engraving club only needs two or three craftsmen.
Yang Tianfang originally wanted to run a newspaper in Lin'an or Jiangnan, but he also had concerns. He was at the end of his rope and had no money left to run a newspaper. He had to find a sponsor first, but Song and Jin were hostile, so he couldn't go there again.
He had no choice but to make the trip without hesitation. He took fifteen craftsmen and their families, a total of more than a hundred people, and spent a large sum of money to smuggle themselves to the south of the Yangtze River at the risk of death. If he could not find a sponsor, everyone would
They starved to death together in Jiangnan.
He couldn't bear this risk, and no craftsman would agree to take his family to take such a big risk.
Two months ago, when the puppet government opened the checkpoint to Shaanxi Road, a large number of people fled to Shaanxi Road. Yang Tianfang also had this idea. Just when he was hesitant, Wanyan Wushu came back and issued a ban. They missed it.
opportunity.
Now that Chen Qing had personally sent someone to ask him to go to Beijing to file a newspaper, of course Yang Tianfang wanted to go, but just thinking of Wanyan Wushu's prohibition order made his heart heavy and full of worry.
Yang Tianfang sighed, "Even if I want to go, how can I do it? There are fifteen of us craftsmen, and we have hundreds of people with our families. Jin Bing has set up checkpoints everywhere, how can we get out?"
"The key is, does Mr. Yang want to go to Jingzhao?"
Yang Tianfang nodded, "Of course I am willing to go. I am almost at the end of my rope. How can I not want to go when I meet a noble person at this critical moment?"
"As long as you want to go, there is a way!"
Hu Yanlei smiled slightly and said: "I can tell Dongzhu Yang, I brought more than a hundred men here, why didn't the Jin Bing checkpoint stop us?"
Yang Tianfang was stunned, and he asked in surprise: "I really can't imagine, how did you get here?"
Hu Yanlei smiled lightly, "The reason is very simple. Wanyan Wushu strictly prohibited people from going west, so we can just go east. There should be no problem going east!"
Yang Tianfang nodded, "It's no problem to go east, but what next?"
"You will know after Yang Dongzhu comes with us. We have to leave as soon as possible before Wanyan Wushu can fix the loopholes. But don't tell the craftsmen the truth for the time being to avoid the news leaking."
"Then what reason should I use?"
Hu Yanlei thought for a while and said: "Just say that you have received a big business and you need to go to Daming Mansion for a few years and ask them to bring all the family members with them."
Yang Tianfang shook his head, "If this is the case, many people will not want to go. Only by saying we go back to the Song Dynasty will everyone be fully mobilized. We experienced it the year before last. We all walked to Chenliu, and suddenly a war broke out. All the way southward
The blockade forced us to come back in despair. What we meant was that we should return to the Song Dynasty, so that everyone would actively follow us."
Taoist priest Qingsong next to him said with a smile: "I have a way to take care of both ends!"
Although Qingsong is a member of the intelligence camp, he is really a Taoist monk, and Hu Yanlei is quite polite to him.
"Taoist Priest, please speak!"
Taoist Master Qingsong said with a smile: "Last year we moved Guan Shigu's family. The method was very good. We can repeat the same old trick. First, let the craftsmen and their families move outside the city, and everyone will live together. We will tell everyone when we are leaving.
, even if we want to leak the secret, there is no place for it.”
Yang Tianfang praised: "This is a good idea. The year before last, we set off separately, gathered in Banqiao Town outside the city, and then headed south together."
Taoist Master Qingsong smiled again and said: "We bought a large house outside the city at that time. It is still vacant. Boss Yang can move there."
Yang Tianfang thought for a while and then said to Hu Yanlei: "After the Beijing News ended, I collected all the engravings and wooden movable types. These are the most precious ones. I also have hundreds of kilograms of fine ink and light engraving."
The plates cost several thousand yuan. They were saved by my father over decades. They weigh at least tens of thousands of kilograms. I don’t want to throw them away. Can I take them away?”
Hu Yanlei readily agreed, "No problem, we're all going by boat anyway, I'll let my men transport them away first."
Yang Tianfang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, we can move outside the city today. Anyway, we rent a house in the city. It's a shabby house and we can leave at any time."
Yang Tianfang had had enough of living in the dilapidated huts in the city and moved to a big house outside the city. Everyone wanted to move to the big house. Within two days, everyone moved to the big house.
The big house outside Beicheng has five acres, and there is no problem in housing about a hundred people. At this time, Yang Tianfang's movable type, engraving and ink were all sold to Hu Yanlei in the form of goods trading, and taxes were also paid. There was a tax bill to open the way, and it was not
Any embargoed materials were transported smoothly to the northeast.
In the past two days, Qingsong was responsible for finding connections, managing the government, and obtained a relocation permit, allowing the Yang's Engraving Society to move to Daming Mansion, including the proprietor Yang Tianfang, fifteen craftsmen, and a family of ninety-eight people.
Ten people were sent to the palace as guards, and then each person paid five hundred coins for migration, and the government immediately approved their departure.
Bianliang County government officials are so poor that they can't save a penny by looking for connections. At most, they can get approval on the same day.
At present, the official roads going west are basically blocked, and applications to the government will not be approved. Going south is not allowed to go close to the two hundred miles of the Huaihe River.
But you can go east and north. It just requires spending some money. As long as the money is paid in place, the government will approve your legal migration. There is no need to sneak around the checkpoints at night.
Maybe some people will think of a little cleverness. I apply to go east. After leaving the city, can I just change the route and go south?
This underestimates the government's management capabilities. On the application form, the specific route has been arranged. There are thirteen checkpoints on the way to Damingfu. Each checkpoint must be inspected and stamped, and the number of people must be counted. To put it simply,
That is, you must follow the route designated by the government in order to migrate smoothly. Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be punished for surrendering to the enemy.
Otherwise, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty had been at odds for hundreds of years, and the Han people in the Jin Kingdom would have fled to the Song Dynasty. Martial arts practitioners or criminal thieves who traveled around the country could go over the mountains and ridges without paying attention to the government checkpoints, but ordinary people could not. Those with families and dependents had to
Take the official road.
Otherwise, just like Liu Yu, just one month after he released the checkpoint, as many as 750,000 people from the Central Plains fled to Shaanxi. Who could bear to continue to escape like this?
Everything was ready. In the evening of that day, Yang Tianfang summoned fifteen craftsmen and gave them the final report.
An hour later, more than 100 people set off in more than 20 ox carts.
