Chapter 243: The Cross Slope outside Mengzhou City, the Junior Junior Brother in Tangyin County
Chapter 243 Junior Brother in Tangyin County, Cross Slope Outside Mengzhou City
As the prefect of Daming Prefecture, one of the four capitals in the world, Liang Zhongshu naturally earned a lot of money.
But the problem is, the more he earns, the more he spends.
This large and exquisite house costs at least hundreds of thousands taels.
There are hundreds of servants in the mansion, those darling wives and concubines, as well as going out to spend money for entertainment, taking care of the bosses in Bianliang City during festivals, and giving gifts to the official.
With so many expenses, even the prefect could not bear it.
Fortunately, Liang Zhongshu was lucky and found foreign aid.
Although I don't know where Wu Erlang got such a huge amount of wealth, it doesn't matter, as long as he can use it for himself.
It's not just a birthday celebration that happens every five or ten days. Logically speaking, it's okay to liven things up on a regular basis.
But it was Cai Jing who was greedy and extravagant, and his expenses were ten times and a hundred times that of Liang Zhongshu. Therefore, even if it was just an ordinary birthday, people from all over the country had to pay tribute respectfully.
Otherwise, if Cai Jing's little shoes are thrown over, the feet will be really crowded.
As a son-in-law, Liang Zhongshu certainly cannot lag behind others at this time.
There is no such person as Liang Shijie in the official history, and his prototype was Liang Zimei, the governor of Kaifeng.
Liang Zimei's status and power are no less than Cai Jing's, and she is about the same age, and she is not Cai Jing's son-in-law.
It can only be said that different worlds have different destinies and environments.
Originally, he and the people in Daming Mansion had to bear the money, but now he has found the enemy. His good friend Wu Erlang will naturally bear half of it for himself.
Of course, the shares of the big and small people in Daming Mansion will never be small, and the extra portion will naturally be 'kept' by Liang Zhongshu on his behalf.
"The Western Army, I heard that they will attack Xixia again recently."
Liang Zhongshu, who has a profound knowledge of officialdom, knows very well how things should be done.
If people spend real money, they must give reasonable rewards, otherwise they will no longer be friends.
"I am good friends with Qin Feng Road Transport Envoy." Liang Zhongshu directly offered 50,000 gu in return. "I can recommend you to work under his command to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. After the war, you can get active and share some of the credit, even if you completely join the Forbidden Army.
Got it."
The only place in the Song Dynasty where there are still large-scale wars is between the Western Army and Xixia.
If you want to claim real military merit instead of dealing with bandits, you must go to the Western Army.
Liang Zhongshu was a pretty decent person, at least he arranged a safer job for Li Yunze to transport grain and grass.
With this qualification, when Li Yunze comes back, he can legitimately move up the ranks within the Forbidden Army system.
Before coming over, Li Yunze had already made corresponding speculations and arrangements in his mind.
At this time, he raised his glass and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Liang Zhongshu laughed, picked up his wine glass and touched it with him. This matter was settled.
After the banquet, Li Yunze, at the warm invitation of Liang Taishu, went to the famous Cuiyun Tower in Daming Mansion for a drink. This time, he was accompanied by many local celebrities and gentry.
The only regret is that I didn't see Lu Junyi and Yan Qing.
After the banquet, Li Yunze declined Liang Zhongshu's invitation to rest at his home and stated that he would rush back to Qinghe County to raise fifty thousand taels of goods.
"Nowadays, the world is unfair, and there are countless bandits and bandits on the road." Li Yunze laid an ambush. "When the birthday plan starts, how about I come to escort it?"
Liang Zhongshu naturally agreed and nodded immediately.
Liang Zhongshu's side has already prepared the relevant goods, and Li Yunze's side doesn't even need to prepare.
A few days later, Li Yunze had already started to leave, escorting a birthday package worth 100,000 yuan to Bianliang City.
As for being seconded to the Western Army to gain qualifications, Liang Zhongshu and Chen Taiwei were naturally involved.
Anyway, Li Yunze has paid money, we will wait for the news.
He took more than ten followers and escorted one hundred thousand gu in goods from Daming Mansion and headed straight to Xiangzhou.
Liang Zhongshu believed in Li Yunze very much and was not worried at all that he would play tricks on others.
Considering the wealth he possesses, it is totally not worth it to ruin himself and offend a lot of people by engaging in gangsterism.
When Li Yunze came to Xiangzhou, he naturally wanted to find his master.
Since leaving Bianliang City, Zhou Tong has stayed in Tangyin, Xiangzhou for too long.
As for the reason, it was revealed when Li Yunze met a young man.
"This is your junior brother." Zhou Tong, who was obviously very happy, laughed and introduced, "A person from Tangyin in Xiangzhou, whose surname is Yue, whose given name is Fei, whose given name is Pengju."
Li Yunze laughed on the spot when he saw Xiao Yue Fei in front of him, who was young but already had a strong posture.
Judging from the facial features, this Yue Wumu is very different from the one in Jingkang's world.
The Yue Fei in the Jingkang world looks very ordinary. And the little Yue Fei in front of him, although he is not very old, is still handsome with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a complete template for the protagonist.
Xiao Yue Fei looked at Zhou Tong with an arrogant look on his face, wondering what the senior brother was laughing at.
"Nothing." Zhou Tong, who was very satisfied, patted his shoulder, "Go ahead and practice martial arts by yourself."
After Yue Fei nodded and left to dance with his spear and stick in the nearby martial arts field, Zhou Tong took Li Yunze and walked around chatting.
"Your senior brother." Zhou Tong asked softly with his hands behind his back, "Are you okay?"
"very good."
Li Yunze had no need to hide anything, "He is in Liangshan at this time, and his sister-in-law is also with him."
"It's okay."
Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief, "The most satisfying thing in my life as a master is to have you three disciples. Your senior brother is timid, and your junior brother is still young and cautious. You are the only one who knows everything and dares to do things. From now on, the two of them,
They all need your care."
What he said was as if he was explaining the aftermath.
"Master, there is no need for this." Li Yunze smiled calmly, "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. Maintaining a good attitude is better than anything else."
"Hahaha~~" Zhou Tong smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I will listen to you."
After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Tong asked about the topic he was most concerned about: "A few days ago, Gao Qiu's people came here in private, secretly inquiring about my master's whereabouts these days."
"It doesn't matter." Li Yunze simply waved his hand, "If you want to offend, you have already offended. It doesn't matter whether there is proof or not. There will be a day when everything will be settled."
"Um."
Zhou Tong nodded again, "As long as I am still here, I will never sit back and watch Gao Qiu do evil again. If it doesn't work, I will risk my life for my master, and I will go back to Bianliang City to cause him to turn upside down!"
This is also what Gao Qiu is worried about.
Although Zhou Tong is older, his intimidation and strength are still there. If he were to kill him without hesitation, his bodyguards might not be able to withstand it.
And if things get serious, someone will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
After all, in the final analysis, Gao Qiu is just a dog that Zhao Ji keeps to guard the imperial army.
After lingering for a few days, Li Yunze said goodbye to his master and junior brother, and continued to escort the birthday party on his way with his men.
The group passed through Weizhou and Huaizhou and entered Mengzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Instead of going to Mengzhou City, he went straight across the city and headed straight for the ferry.
It was getting late that day, and a group of people came to a stop at a crossroads. Li Yunze called to the man arranged by Liang Taishu and asked, "Where is this place?"
"Back to the general, this place is called Cross Slope. One goes to Erlong Mountain, one goes to Caiyuan Village, one goes to Mengzhou City, and one goes to the ferry."
"Oh." Li Yunze nodded and looked up at the sky. "It's getting late. I'll stay at the restaurant ahead and rest first. We'll set out to cross the river tomorrow morning."
Naturally, everyone agreed.
The hotel was not far ahead, and a group of people quickly pushed their belongings and vehicles to the courtyard of the store.
The store owner, who looked slightly wretched, came forward to greet me warmly and hurriedly helped unload the truck and receive the goods.
Li Yunze's eyes were bright, he turned over and dismounted, took out a stone from his hand, flicked it and landed it on the back leg of a driver who was unloading goods.
'Ouch.'
The coachman's legs weakened, and he threw himself forward and fell to the ground. The box in his hand also fell to the ground.
Amidst the clattering sound, shining silver ingots were scattered all over the floor.
The shopkeeper looked at the money all over the floor and his eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
"Why are you so careless?" Li Yunze scolded, "Hurry and pack it up."
Everyone immediately stepped forward to put the money back and then unload the many boxes on the car.
"Gudu~~~" Li Yunze could clearly hear it, and the shopkeeper who was staring at the boxes intently swallowed hard.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper?" Li Yunze greeted twice, and the shopkeeper came back to his senses.
"Hey, sir." The store owner came forward to greet you warmly, "Where did you come from, sir?"
This is to find out. After all, although some money is good, it cannot be touched.
For example, money from the imperial court, food and salary from the army, etc. This will lead to fatal revenge and pursuit.
"Oh." Li Yunze raised his eyebrows lightly, smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just traveling around doing business."
"Hongshang." The shopkeeper lowered his head, unable to conceal the joy in his heart.
What they like most are merchants who are far away from home.
Li Yunze asked casually, "Do you know the store owner's surname?"
"My nickname is Zhang Qing, I'm afraid it might offend our guests' ears." Zhang Qing greeted with a smile, "Everyone, please come into the store and have a rest. We have Mengzhou's famous special buns, and you can enjoy them later."
"
‘Ugh~~~’
Li Yunze retched and looked away to cover up his endless murderous aura. "Then I'll help the shop owner."
After a while, Zhang Qing trotted to the kitchen and told his mother-in-law, Sun Erniang, who was cooking, about the fat sheep.
Sun Erniang acts decisively and is very decisive.
After hearing this, he immediately chopped the kitchen knife on the chopping board, turned around and stared at his officials, "Go and gather people, call them all."
"Okay." Zhang Qing responded hurriedly, and before leaving, he specifically asked, "Use the best medicine!"
Sun Erniang, whose waist is as thick as a bucket, laughed and waved her hands, "You don't have to say that!"
The couple has done this kind of thing a lot, and they are already very skilled at it.
Zhang Qing quickly left the hotel and ran all the way to the village to gather people.
Sun Erniang, on the other hand, was ready to open fire, then took the key to open a small box and took out the excellent quality Mongolian sweat medicine!
