(Happy National Day, book friends, thank you for the three 588 rewards from classmates, and thank you for the mysterious classmate for urging them to update your votes!)
-----------------------------------------
With a soothing sound, a woo-dry sounded by the Suoshui River.
Xingyang City is not far behind, and the valley manor where the Zheng family was raided was only twenty miles away. Xu Gai picked up a sound arrow and shot it into the sky. The sound arrow made a scream in the air. After a moment, many ships suddenly emerged from the originally calm Suoshui River bay. They were all hidden under the willow trees on the bank of the river bend, and when they heard the signal, they leaned over together. Ling Yun estimated that there were at least two hundred boats in the river, let alone these thousand people and more than a hundred horses, they were twice as many.
People, these ships were more than enough. Looking at the number and size of the ship, Ling Yun knew in his heart that everything was actually under Xu Gai's calculations. When they came, they only had fifty riders and took the land route. But before they came, Xu Gai knew clearly what the result would be. He even calculated the number of craftsmen in the Zheng workshop, even the tools and materials in the workshop, and mobilized enough ships and then rushed from the water route and waited here early.
As soon as Ling Yun and his team came out, they could board the ship here immediately.
It is not difficult to copy Zheng’s workshop, but the difficulty is how to copy away the workshop, even the craftsmen with tools and materials.
It turns out that Xu Gai plotted so well.
The Suoshui River is a tributary of the Bian River. It originates from the Zhoushan Mountains between Xingyang and Luoyang. It flows into the Bian River through Xingyang and finally flows into the Bian River and goes north to the Biankou and enters the Yellow River. Although this river is called the Bian River at this time, it has not been dredged on a large scale. It is not the Tongji Canal in the Sui Dynasty Grand Canal later, but it is already an important waterway from Luoyang to Huainan. It is even connected to the Ji River, one of the four rivers. However, Xu Gai was able to mobilize so many ships to the Zheng family to copy people's workshops. Ling Yun had to admire that Xu Gai was indeed an old fox, although he was less than thirty years old.
With the help of these ships, it is not difficult to evacuate quietly under the Zheng family's nose.
By the Suoshui River, ships were docked one after another, and the pallets had been set up. The managers and servants of Dan Xu's family who came with the ship had jumped off the boat and began to direct the craftsmen under the boat to carry goods on the boat. The crowd gathered on the shore, and the Xu's family even brought many steamed buns and buckets of egg flower soup with the boat. Many craftsmen and apprentices who were frightened and were anxious were hungry at this time. The meal was very lively and the people's hearts became much more stable. Xu Gai took this opportunity to talk to the craftsmen about the treatment after they left after they left. The wages were doubled than those of the Zheng family, and they would bring their families together, which made the group of craftsmen happy and thank Lianlian.
Ling Yun didn't care much about these things. It can be said that this action was Xu Gai who used him to attack competitors, or even rob opponents, and strengthen his own military equipment shop. However, Ling Yun didn't care. As the so-called friends, not everyone can rush to the brothers. Most of the time, friends were based on mutual benefit. In this action, Xu Gai's family gained practical benefits, and Ling Yun also charged some interest from the prince, and everyone had their own gains.
However, Xu Gai was an old fox and knew that Ling Yun could take down the Zheng family this time. And afterwards, he had to rely on Yang Guang behind Ling Yun as his backer to truly not be afraid of the prince. Therefore, after appeased a group of craftsmen, Xu Gai generously stated that the 300 sets of weapons received this time were divided equally with 50 people, each with six sets. In addition, the materials were 5,000 guan, and the 50 people came were divided into 100 guan.
The three hundred sets of armour were originally packaged for secret armor for the prince. The entire set of armour includes a set of iron armor, a horizontal sword, spear, long bow and crossbow machine, and a short sword, round shield, arrow, etc., which are of excellent quality. According to Gao Bo's estimate, such a set of armour also includes many small pieces of complete armour, which is worth at least one hundred stakes. The high-quality set of Mingguang iron armor alone is worth dozens of stakes.
Each person's six sets of armor plus one hundred guan, which is six or seven hundred guan, six or seven hundred guan, six or seven hundred guan, six or seven hundred guan, one cent per kilogram of rice, and six or seven hundred thousand jin of rice. This money is nothing to Xu Gai Shan Xiongxin and Su Yong and other powerful people. But this money is actually not small, even a lot, and it is even equivalent to most of the family business of the middle-class soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.
At least for middle- and low-level officers like Sima Dekan and Qin Qiong, this is a fortune. With their salary, they may have to work for many years to save such money.
Sima Dekan was actually a little unwilling to do this trip before, especially knowing that behind Zheng's workshop was the crown prince. Although he followed the King of Jin, he was unwilling to offend the crown prince rashly. However, he had received gifts such as war horses, horse spears and other gifts from each family, and had a new brother, which was too shameful to come. Who would have thought that it was just a trip, and Xu Gai actually gave such a big gift. Now, Sima Dekan had an impulse to ask if Xu Gai had any such thing.
Shubao was also a little excited. The Qin family was in trouble, otherwise he would not have joined the army. He has been just a mate and has no official position until now. Suddenly, he was surprised and excited to receive hundreds of gifts.
"Everyone accept the good intentions of Brother Xu Wu." Ling Yun smiled slightly, and he gave out almost tens of thousands of guan. He also had 20% of the shares in Ling Yun, which can be said to be equivalent to he earning about 7,000 guan. But he didn't care. First of all, although he is the major shareholder of the joint arms, he only took dividends and did not interfere in the operation. Moreover, these 20% of the dividends were not really given to him alone. These 20% of the dividends were given to him, the Tiger Alliance and the Gao family, and he was just a
A representative. Besides, how could Xu Gai do business at a loss? It seems that he has spent tens of thousands of yuan, but first of all, these tens of thousands of yuan are not really his. He just robbed the things from the prince and the Zheng family and gave them favors. Secondly, in addition to the gifts, they still made a lot of money. The thousands of craftsmen and apprentices alone had no place to buy them. Professional technical talents are priceless. With these professional craftsmen, the joint arms business of Xu and his family can double the expansion.
In short, everyone was very happy in the end.
Xu Dan and seven other families destroyed an important competitor, robbed each other, and robbed a lot of materials and equipment. The biggest gain was that they got thousands of craftsmen and apprentices that the prince and the Zheng family finally got. They were very happy.
Sima Dekan and others were also very happy. After a trip, they did not have any danger. They successfully made hundreds of thousands of extra money. If they included the gifts worth hundreds of cents of coins received at Erxianzhuang, they made a big profit in Henan, and they gained nearly a thousand cents of coins, and they almost made a big profit in the next big family business.
The craftsmen were also very satisfied. Most of them were forced to come here. Now that they change their employer, their wages have doubled and they can even bring their families together, so they are naturally satisfied.
If you are dissatisfied, I am afraid that the only one Zheng family who was looted by the military yard is the most dissatisfied, but who cares about them?
The Xu family and others are worthy of being a local tyrant. Their work efficiency is very fast. More than a thousand people and a large number of goods are loaded quickly, and then they pull up the sails and go down the river.
By noon, we had already entered the Bian River and passed Xingze City.
I didn't walk north far, and I heard the sound of the bell on the west coast from afar.
"That is the Guanyin Bodhisattva Temple and Daihai Temple." Xu Gai said on the side.
"Daihai Temple?" Ling Yun seemed a little familiar with the name.
"It is said that Guanyin traveled north to cross the river and moved to Xingyang. From then on, the moat in Xingyang City began to rise and fall with the sea tides. Therefore, this Guanyin Temple is also called Daihai Temple. This temple has more than a hundred foreign history and was built in the Wei Dynasty."
Xingyang, Daihai Temple, Ling Yun recited it silently several times in his mind, and suddenly remembered a name, Xingyang Dahai Temple.
Zhang Xutuo, a peerless general at the end of the Sui Dynasty, became a firefighter in the Sui Dynasty, and fought over the rebellions in various parts of Henan. His last battle was at Dahai Temple in Xingyang. This was a hero's ending battle, and it was also a war of heroes' advent. In this battle, the hero Zhang Xutuo fought another battle with Wagang. Before, Zhang Xutuo suffered several defeats in Wagang, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others changed their expression when they heard about Zhang Xutuo. However, this battle was a battle commanded by Li Mi.
He sent Zhai Rang to fight Zhang Xutuo, pretending to be defeated and lured the enemy. Zhang Xutuo pursued him, but in the end he encountered a ambush from Li Mi in this Daihai Temple. Zhang Xutuo was outnumbered and was dispersed with his three tiger generals Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and Jia Wuben. During this period, Zhang Xutuo broke out of the siege four times, but every time he did not leave. He said that there were still brothers who did not come out, and he rushed back into the formation without hesitation. But until the end, he did not find Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and others. Finally, he was shot and killed by Li Mi's student Wang Bo as an arrow and died in the battlefield. After this battle, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Jia Wuben and others were defeated and surrendered to Pei Renji. Soon after, he surrendered to Wagang with Pei Renji.
Wagang also became famous because of this battle. Li Mi became the real leader of Wagang with this battle, and became the leader of the heroes from all over the world at that time.
Daihai Temple is an important node in the collapse of the Sui Dynasty.
Ling Yun turned around, and behind him, there were many people who had participated in this important journey in Daihai Temple in history.
Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Shubao, Wang Bodang, Jia Xiong, Zhai Hong, Wang Ruxin...
At this moment, he was a little dazed.
He also suddenly remembered the reason why Daihai Temple was later renamed Dahai Temple. Before the Battle of Dahai Temple, Li Yuan was the prefect of Xingyang County. At that time, Li Yuan's son Li Shimin suffered from eye disease and sought countless famous doctors. Later, he went to Daihai Temple to seek Buddha, and he was immediately cured. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered Yuchi Jingde to expand Daihai Temple. The new temple was twenty miles long from east to west and eighteen miles wide from north to south, and the scale was like the sea. Therefore, it was renamed Dahai Temple.
Ling Yun turned around and looked at Yuchi Gong behind him. At this time, he was just a little blacksmith with a beard. His newly adopted son was holding the newly obtained horse spear in his hand and couldn't let go of it!
History is so wonderful. Looking at them, Ling Yun felt that maybe he had changed history!
