The old tenant farmers hurriedly returned home and arranged for the young people to go out to collect intelligence. Song Wen waved...Li Erlang and An Chun suddenly came out not far away and came to Song Wen.
"What are your orders, Mr. Lang?"
Song Wen smiled: "Although you two are my old team members, you don't need to follow me together... Just keep one of you with me at ordinary times! Don't fall behind in martial arts and study, remember?
?”
Li Erlang and An Chun each have a group of brothers... As the earliest teenagers to follow Song Wen, it would be wrong to say that there is no competition between the two of them, as well as between the Little Beggars Gang and the Wine Shop Youth Gang...
realistic.
Song Wen is not afraid of this kind of competition. As long as they do not have a conflict of fundamental interests, this kind of competition will be a good thing!
Now An Chun and the little beggars have begun to infiltrate all the businesses on Wazi Street. All the little turtle teapots and sisters seem to be under their noses... and the wine shop boy is more skilled in martial arts and more united.
, and Li Yan, half a master, serves as a backer.
Now the two groups of teenagers have begun to establish prestige and win over the hearts of the more than 80 new teenagers without any teacher... Song Wen is even more happy about this, just control the direction step by step, and he will
You can't always rely on yourself to control these teenagers one by one with just one mouth?
"Each of you choose three or five capable and clever brothers, and go down the mountain together with the young people from Qingshan Village. First use them to find out the roads and villages in the four villages, and then find out by yourself who are the rich and wealthy people in the village.
Ask more about people like powerful nobles, landlords, and famous rogues!"
Li Erlang raised his hand and said yes, while An Chun raised his hand and asked, "Brother, do you want to sit firmly in Qingshan Village and find out who are the potential enemies in advance?"
Song Wen shook his head: "This extremely poor Taoshan County doesn't even have a serious county magistrate. How can anyone be worthy of being my enemy? This is to let you familiarize yourself with these things in advance. We will go out to do business in the future...
…When you arrive in a new place, you must figure out these things clearly in a short period of time! Then you can find opportunities to settle down and do business while avoiding risks and troubles!”
Li Erlang and An Chun looked at each other and nodded.
Song Wen shook his cattail leaf fan and continued: "Erlang, in a few days I will take An Chun back to Bianliang, and my old nest will be in your hands... Don't slack off, send someone to me in three days
Send a letter. Uncle Li Yan is lazy and can't take care of many trivial things... I will assign you an accountant, and I will give you all the silver and copper coins you should withdraw from him, and I will also put the key to the warehouse in your hand!
"
Li Erlang slapped his chest, clasped his fists excitedly and replied: "Don't worry, brother, with us here, brother's village and warehouse will definitely be safe and sound!"
Song Wen nodded: "How familiar are you with these things? We are all poor people... We are born with no elders to rely on! So no matter how young we are, we can only roll up our sleeves and work hard... We will do big things in the future, one
If I can’t even see that I can’t do it well, how can I do it?”
An Chun suddenly raised his head and asked: "Brother, you have never bought a house or land in Bianliang. Do you want to take us brothers out to have a career?"
Song Wen looked at the two teenagers and asked softly: "Do you dare?"
The two teenagers knelt down on one knee... "To the ends of the world, there are mountains of swords and seas of fire... We also want to accompany our brother to have a chance!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Early the next morning, it was just dawn... Song Wen, who had been crawling around with a group of teenagers for more than ten days, quietly got up. Accompanied by Li Erlang and An Chun, he quietly walked outside a few rows of houses to take a look.
The boys are still sleeping soundly.
Wearing a thin cloak, Song Wen walked towards the entrance of Qingshan Village and told Li Erlang...
We must take good care of these orphans in daily life, and we must strictly demand these children when practicing martial arts and studying... The teacher can only use Wang Laogui for the time being, and we need to be wary of him for some things. Li Yan's wine must be hidden, and he must not be greedy.
He beat and scolded the children too much... The accountant will be here in two days, so be respectful and don't neglect...
A black-covered carriage parked quietly outside the village gate. On the other side of the young man driving the carriage sat the loyal An Chun. Lin Chong was riding a horse wearing a bamboo hat and waiting beside the carriage.
Song Wen looked back at the Qingshan Village that he had built with his own hands. He walked a few steps and stretched out his hand to touch the stone tablet that he had buried with everyone... Qingshan Village. His heart was actually full of deep reluctance... It was not that good here.
There are more intrigues and dirty business, not so much despair, helplessness and separation... Is this the real home in my heart?
A strange feeling arose, and Song Wen turned around to look... He didn't know when all the boys and girls had gotten up and were neatly dressed and standing inside the village gate, looking at him quietly.
It turns out that they already knew that they were going back to Bianliang today...
Everyone stared at Song Wen, looking at the young man who had saved him from wandering and hell, and who also raised and taught him as his own child...
Everyone bowed their hands and saluted...still silently looking at their young husband, their benefactor and master!
Song Wen's fingers holding the robe were slightly trembling, and he suddenly shouted: "The road ahead is long, and things are unpredictable... Study hard, practice martial arts, and learn skills from the craftsmen and farmers! From now on, brothers and I... will be here together
Fight for an honorable future in this world!"
Nearly a hundred young men responded with excitement... "I will obey my brother's orders! I will obey my brother's orders..."
Li Yan in the distance sighed and nodded silently... This little turtle finally didn't directly call out any princes, generals, ministers, rather nonsense like that! The future... the future... I hope he can
With this vote, brothers use their swords, guns and brains to make contributions to the court and the people!
As soon as Lin Chong raised the stirrup, the black horse under his crotch flicked his head and took the lead.
The carriage Song Wen was riding in slowly went on the road and gradually disappeared into the summer mist.
Liang Shicheng arranged all the matters related to the emperor in the palace that day, and punished a few people who tried to show their faces in front of the officials. In the evening, when the lights were on, he returned to his mansion in the southwest of the imperial city in a sedan chair.
Accompanying the king every day, Liang Shicheng always had to return to his mansion every three or four days. Several concubines could not see their master for ten days and a half. However, the photo was taken of Liang Shicheng's power as the hidden minister of the Song Dynasty. The green
No one dared to give him two small hats... It was just a woman who had been suffering for a long time, and she stayed in the hall as lonely as snow every day.
Just as Liang Shicheng flipped through a few letters and notes, the confidant butler bowed and stood outside the study and said softly: "Master, the proprietor Song Wensong from Wazi Street has come to pay his respects with a gift. Can the master give him a favor...
…?”
Liang Shicheng's face has become a bit lax. He is almost sixty years old... It seems that the injuries after the cleansing have begun to quickly destroy his remaining health. His hair has turned gray, but his eyes are still bright and restrained, showing a hint of ruthlessness and gloominess over time.
Glancing at this old confidant, Liang Shicheng's mouth moved slightly and said softly: "You are so interested in that little turtle, but you have received a lot of benefits, right?"
The confidant butler bent down like a shrimp and said with a sneer: "Nothing can escape the eyes of the master. A businessman... is bound to have no big problems. This time I am just greedy."
If you try to trick people like Liang Shicheng under the nose and think that he is a fool, then you are seeking death! Showing your skills appropriately and being more candid will make him feel more at ease... The degree of control here is extremely difficult, and this confidant butler
It can be said that the game is played with great proficiency.
Liang Shicheng doesn't care about the greed of his subordinates, but it must be within the scope that he can tolerate and control... For example, the flattery and bribery of such lowly people are just innocuous and trivial matters.
But once this confidant butler dares to be bribed and wooed by court officials, especially Wang Fu and Cai Jing, then Liang Shicheng will not mind that there is an unrecognizable and ownerless corpse in the mass grave outside Bianliang City.
"What did you bring to see me?"
"Sir, this is a real rarity... I have a blind eye, but I can tell it looks like a palace object from the Southern Dynasties!"
"Oh? That's strange...let him in!"
"Yes, the old slave will ask Song Wen to come in and pay his respects."
