Chapter 430 The matter of Liang Ming
Chapter 430 The matter of Liang Ming
Since Xiliang was the party that took the initiative to make peace, Jingguo was not polite. The emperor sent the most cunning Minister of the Household Department to deal with the envoys of Xiliang.
Wars cost money the most. The Secretary of the Household Department unceremoniously counted how much manpower and material resources were spent to fight Jing Guo with Xiliang Kingdom this time. A list of expenses and a compensation list were thrown on the table of Xiliang Kingdom's envoy.
The envoy of the Xiliang Kingdom turned green when he saw the two exorbitant compensations, and angrily demanded to see the emperor.
Hubu Shangshu sat down with a smile on his face, and slowly talked with the envoy of Xiliang Kingdom, without being affected by his bad attitude at all.
Few people knew the details of the negotiation process, but the result of the negotiation was announced openly by Jing Guo: Xiliang Kingdom compensated Jing Guo with 500 million taels of silver, 20 horses, [-] fat cows and [-] cattle. For fat sheep, the silver taels can be replaced by equivalent jewelry and jade, and the livestock must be alive.
As soon as the news came out, the whole Jingguo was in a state of eruption.
"we won!"
"Damn Xiliang barbarians, finally let them taste the power of our Jingguo people."
"Exhaust! It's too exhilarating!"
"There is a young man in our village who has always liked my brother. I disagreed with it before. This time he took the initiative to join the army and said that he wanted to earn money and come back to give my brother a good life. I didn't agree. Guo Dasheng, if he can come back alive, I will betroth my brother to him, nothing else, just because he is the one who defeated the Xiliang barbarians, I am happy."
……
The people of Panorama Kingdom were all happy for the victory of this war. Over the years, Jing Kingdom and Xiliang Kingdom had never won such a big victory in such a fast speed.
Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu learned the news a few days earlier than ordinary people. From the day Lin Xiazhi found out, he ordered his shop to prepare for two days of activities—to celebrate the victory of the Jingguo War, all products and dishes were [-]% off.
When the news of the victory of the war spread to Jiangning County as if it had grown wings, the activities of Fragrant Ten Miles, One Sheep Eat More, Qingdailou, Zhuyuge, and Waiting for the Rabbit were fully launched.
In addition to Lin Xiazhi's side, Cheng Wenliu's Jufu Building, Cheng Adie's Liang Mancang, Lin's tofu shop, and several workshops in Lin's Village also offered discounts to celebrate the victory of the war.
Lin Xiazhi's Sunset Red Propaganda Team went out again to spread the good news to all corners of Jiangning County.
After the news spread, other merchants in Jiangning County realized that this was an opportunity. Unfortunately, they were one step too late and fell behind the Cheng family and the Lin family.
The diners immediately thought of the Lin family or the Cheng family when they ate food. Their food was delicious, and there were discounts to celebrate the victory of the national war. If they didn't eat their food, they would feel sorry for them.
Fortunately, Lin Xiazhi had already prepared various things for this discount in advance. When a large number of customers poured into his shop, the employees in the shop were barely busy.
Seeing that the weather was fine, Lin Xiazhi took Xiao Baozi to his shop for a stroll. He chose Qingdai Building, which was slightly less crowded. Qingdai Building still only entertained brothers, not men.
Although Xiao Baozi is a man, his age is still young and he is directly ignored. As soon as he appeared, he was liked by the guests in Qingdai Building.
He doesn't like being teased by unfamiliar people, Xiao Baozi squinted his mouth in grievance, and leaned his face hard on his aunt, seeing those unmarried brothers shouting cute, married young husbands who have no children are envious endlessly.
The appearance of Xiao Baozi made the atmosphere of Qingdai Building much more active. You can find like-minded friends here and express various opinions. This time they came to discuss the topic of war.
It was originally talking about the affairs of Jingguo and Xiliangguo, but the direction gradually became distorted, and it became a discussion about the war-related scripts produced by the two Qingdailou before.
"I don't know if there is anyone in this world like Hua Mulan and the brothers and husbands of the Yang family."
"I almost tore through these two scriptures, and memorized the contents. Now my heart and eyes are full of my General Hua and General Yang. No one can compare to them!"
"I have a bold idea, do you want to hear it?"
"What do you think, tell me."
"I was wondering if General Hua Mulan and the youngest General Ying of the Yang family could get together?"
"Your idea is too bold!"
"However, I feel very special..."
Lin Xiazhi listened to the discussion of these brothers for a while, and was speechless for a while. These people have learned to develop the same humanities so quickly without a teacher, and they are still the type with a relatively large span-brothers match brothers.Taking advantage of their intense discussion, Lin Xiazhi hurriedly took the little bun and slipped away from the side passage.
It was almost time for Xiao Baozi to drink milk, so Lin Xiazhi went straight back to Cheng Zhai instead of going to other shops.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the person who had delivered letters to Cheng Zhai for a long time also just came over. This was not the first time he had come to deliver a letter. Seeing Lin Xiazhi, he took out the letter directly: "Young Master Cheng, this is a letter to your residence."
Seeing the familiar handwriting on it, Lin Xiazhi took it, and Lin Xiaodong stepped forward sensiblely, and gave the messenger a tong coin as hard work.
After receiving the money, the messenger said a few nice words and left. Lin Xiazhi, holding the little bun, entered the door with Cheng Luanjing's letter to look for Cheng Fulang.
"Youngest grandson, are you hungry? The milk is already warmed up. Let's drink milk now~" Cheng Fulang took the little bun and talked to the little bun with a very kind smile on his face.
Little Baozi didn't know if he understood what the youngest meant, he grinned and babbled back a few words, Cheng Fulang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
Lin Xiazhi looked at the scene in front of him, and put the letter on the table with a smile: "Ah, Brother Jing's letter has arrived. I just met the messenger at the door."
"Brother Jing's letter?" Cheng Fulang glanced at it nonchalantly, "Put it there, wait until I feed the little bun. If you want to read it, Brother Xia, you can read it first."
Cheng Fulang put the letter sent by Cheng Luanjing all the way behind the little bun without hesitation, which vividly explained what it meant to have children and grandchildren.
Lin Xiazhi didn't open the letter in advance. He knew that although Cheng Fulang didn't care what he said, he actually wanted to be the first person to read Cheng Luan's Jingxin. As a junior, he naturally had to take good care of the elder's little hobby.
After waiting for Cheng Fulang to finish feeding the buns, Lin Xiazhi slowly delivered the unopened letter.
Cheng Fulang pulled Lin Xiazhi to sit down together, held the thick letter and said in surprise: "Brother Jing, why is this letter so thick?"
Not expecting Lin Xiazhi to answer, Cheng Fulang opened it in twos and twos, and took out a letter and a stack of thick scriptures.
Xiao Baozi finished playing with toys on his little bed by himself, and looked at Ah Ma and Lao Yao approaching a thick stack of paper full of black letters in a daze.
This time, Cheng Luanjing's letter wrote about his experience during this time as usual, as well as the interesting people and things he met on the road.
Cheng Fulang and Lin Xiazhi read it word by word, and Lin Xiazhi obviously felt Cheng Fulang's tense body relax a bit.
Lin Xiazhi said next to him: "I only knew about these things after reading Brother Jing's letter. This is the first time I've heard of the special food in Lihai County. I must try it when I have a chance."
Cheng Fulang looked at more than half of the front, and his mood relaxed a lot. He also responded: "It's really interesting. In the future, when the little bun is a little older, I will ask Wen Liu to take over the granary. I will go out with your father to have a look."
Lin Xiazhi was silent for a while, talking about food, why did he suddenly become a successor?
After reading most of the previous letters, it should be almost the same, and Cheng Luanjing only wrote these contents in the previous few letters.
Looking at the two pages of letter paper behind, Cheng Fulang and Lin Xiazhi continued to read.
I thought Cheng Luanjing was going to say something else, but I didn't expect that the content behind it would actually have something to do with a "dead" person.
Cheng Luanjing wrote in his letter that he saw a person who looked like Liang Ming soliciting guests at the entrance of the small hall.
At that time, he thought he was wrong, relying on the fact that he was now dressed as a man, he swaggered into this small hall with the reluctant Tieshan.
After entering, Cheng Luanjing didn't immediately find the person who looked like Liang Ming. He wandered around the museum first, and then explained that he was from Lishui County, and asked the old bustard if he had any fellow villagers.
The procuress directly recommended Liang Ming, and happily told Liang Ming that the guests he received this time were fellow villagers, and asked him to take care of them carefully.
Cheng Luanjing had been outside for more than half a year, and he was different from when he was in Cheng's house. He had packaged himself as someone who went out to do business, but Liang Ming didn't recognize him at all, and also thanked Cheng Luanjing sincerely because of Cheng Luanjing's generosity. Fan, even secretly hinted that Cheng Luanjing would redeem him, saying that his family background was not bad, if Cheng Luanjing rescued him, he would be very grateful when he returned home.
After some conversation, Cheng Luanjing was able to confirm that the vulgar, charming and romantic person standing in front of him was Liang Ming, whom he hated so much, so Liang Ming couldn't help him even if he said it was Cheng Luanjing.
What's more, Cheng Luanjing ran away from home in August last year, and Liang Ming's house caught fire in June last year. Cheng Luanjing didn't know how a dead person appeared thousands of miles away, and how he stayed as a young man. , there is a problem at first glance.
Not causing trouble is an iron rule that people who are away from home must remember. Cheng Luanjing is even less likely to help him. He found an excuse to perfunctory and said that he was busy with business and left. He left ten taels of silver. s help.
Back then, Lin Xiazhi cracked down on the Liang family's business openly and aboveboard, and Cheng Wenliu secretly "connected" the Liang family in various ways, which made it difficult for the Liang family to survive in Jiangning County long ago. It was dealt with very quickly years ago All the shops in Jiangning County left in despair.
Lin Xiazhi didn't pay attention to where they went. Anyway, he just needs to be in a good mood after this unsightly person leaves, so no one can prove the authenticity of Liang Ming's news.
