It was similar to Gao Cheng's guess. The man in front of him was Luda, the Tige in Weizhou. Luda had a straightforward personality, cheerful and generous, and did not take much effort. Gao Cheng exchanged his names and started chatting with him.

Gao Cheng said that he heard about Lu Da's reputation, so he came to make friends with heroes and deliberately showed his strength. Lu Da immediately looked at him with admiration.

No matter when a person with strong strength shows his ability, he will attract the attention of others.

Gao Cheng's main purpose of coming to Weizhou this time was to make friends with Lu Da. After getting to know each other, he left Weizhou City. If it were not expected, Lu Da would kill Zheng Tu and go to Mount Wutai to become a monk.

This is the root of Luda's character, but it is also his opportunity. Gao Cheng did not want to make Luda lose the opportunity to advance to the fourth level because of himself.

Anyway, he will go to Tokyo's Dasangkok Temple later. When Gao Cheng arrives in Tokyo, it will be too late to reminisce about the past with the other party...

More than ten days later, Gao Cheng took Chen Da, Li Zhong and others back to Huayin County.

At this time, the escort agency established by Gao Cheng had already opened in full swing in Huayin. In the first few days, only some businessmen with good relationships with Zhaojiazhuang hired the escort agency to deliver goods for the sake of Mr. Zhao's face.

Zhu Wu, Yang Chun, Chen Hong and others attached great importance to these tasks of the escort agency. Every time they went out to escort, one of them would be dispatched. A good man with the strength to reach the second level was in charge. The goods escorted by the escort agency were not at all dangerous. Even if they encountered some bandits, Lu Ba who blocked the road and robbed, they were defeated and repelled by Zhu Wu and others.

When the escort agency safely transported the goods to the destination, the merchants calculated in their minds that if they hired the escort agency to escort every time, their expenses would be doubled. There was no need to hire some unknown coachmen and porters temporarily.

Time is like water, and in a blink of an eye, two months passed, and the Zhaojiazhuang escort business gradually spread from Huayin and extended towards Yan'an Prefecture and Tongguan.

The world has been peaceful for a long time. Tongguan, the most important barrier to the east in Guanzhong, has been in disrepair for many years. Only hundreds of soldiers guard the walls. There are many bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests near Tongguan.

When the escort agency escorted goods here, he encountered bandits repeatedly robbed. Gao Cheng knew about this and specially invited Shi Jin to set off together to wipe out all the famous bandits in a radius of 300 miles.

After this, Gao Cheng also made a name in the world, and was secretly called the "Zhao Tianba" or "Zhao Tianwang" by the bandits.

Gao Cheng had already made up his mind to use the power of the Song Dynasty's government to develop his power, so he didn't care about his reputation in the Green Forest.

This day.

Gao Cheng was checking the accounts of the escort agency in the study. He looked at the account book with a hint of joy. "It's not bad. In just two or three months, all the expenses of establishing the escort agency were made back, and there were still tens of thousands of taels of silver to make a profit!"

"In the future, the escort agency will get on track and maintain this state. It will earn more than 100,000 taels of silver every year. Apart from the consumption of training subordinates, the remaining silver can enhance the foundation of Zhaojiazhuang several times."

When an industry emerges, those who first try to make a fortune can make a lot of money in a short period of time. However, the establishment and profitability of escort agencies are not a secret. After a while, those big players with human resources and financial resources may also form escort agencies and get a share of the pie.

"The most important thing about the escort agency is manpower and prestige. If those big players have good players who are familiar with Green Forest, it would be fine. If not, they just need to form an escort agency, then they will wait to be robbed by bandits. As long as they miss the escort agency they formed will lose the trust of all merchants and can only close the door."

After Gao Cheng checked all the accounts, he made a secret decision in his heart, preparing to give Yang Chun, Chen Hong and Zhu Wu a reward of silver, which was a reward for their efforts during this period.

When the matter he asked Mr. Zhao to do was successful, he would let Yang Chun and Chen Hong take charge of the escort agency. As for Zhu Wu, he would follow him as a teacher and aide.

"Young Master! Butler Zhao is back!" The maid's voice came from outside.

Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows, immediately stood up and walked out of the study. He happened to see Butler Zhao walking towards him with a happy face.

"Young Master, it's successful! In a few days, the imperial decree will come down!" Butler Zhao said hurriedly.

A few days ago, Gao Cheng asked Chen Da and Li Zhong to escort Butler Zhao to Tokyo City and used a total of 30,000 taels of silver to open the gate of Duke Chu in Tokyo City.

Duke Chu was a descendant of Zhao Defang, the king of Qin, the legitimate son of Taizu. He was an ancestor with Gao Cheng, the incarnation of Zhao Yu. He had this relationship. In addition, gold and silver opened the way, Gao Cheng had an official position as Cheng Jielang.

Chengjielang was a ninth rank and was at the lowest level among the officials of the Song Dynasty. However, such a small official position is something that many people cannot afford to work hard for their entire lives.

In Gao Cheng's memory, after Zhao'an, a hero from Liangshan, many famous generals and schools died in battle, and the final post was only this position.

"Chengjielang, I am from the ninth rank! If I have this official position, I am qualified to serve as a county lieutenant or a lieutenant in the army. In the future, the county magistrate and county lieutenant will not easily cause trouble for me! If it weren't for my royal status, even if I had 100,000 taels of silver, it would be difficult to obtain such an in-class official position!"

Gao Cheng thought to himself that the official system of the Song Dynasty was more complex and strict than that of the Three Kingdoms, the Tang Dynasty and other worlds. In addition to the official positions that were in the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the midst of the military, there were 52 levels of military honors.

However, most of these 52nd-class official positions are not in the ordinary. Many soldiers work hard and make a lot of contributions to make a difference and slowly climb up.

Chengjielang, who is from the ninth rank, has surpassed most of the soldiers. The official Lu Da now serves as the chief clerk, seems to be quite powerful, but in fact he is a kind of official. It is different from the official position of the ninth rank.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhao!"

Gao Cheng's eyes fell on Butler Zhao. He was not young. He had been rushing on the road these days and had a lot of white hair on his head.

Butler Zhao still had an excitement on his face. "Young Master, don't say that. If it weren't for the young master, the Zhao family's business would never be so prosperous. If it can revitalize the Zhao family, the villain will be willing to die now!"

Gao Cheng laughed, waved his hand quickly, and said, "Uncle Zhao, don't say unlucky words at any time. There are still many places I rely on Uncle Zhao in the future! By the way, when will the imperial edicts arrive?"

"According to my calculations, we will arrive in three days!" said Mr. Zhao.

Gao Cheng nodded and looked to the east. He had a high building on the ground. As long as he could become a member of the official system of the Song Dynasty, he would have a channel to achieve meritorious service and promotion.

If he became Chengjielang and then wiped out the Shaohua Mountain Village and made achievements, he might be able to enter into a ministry through the Duke of Chu's Mansion. Chengjielang represented Gao Cheng's official position rather than a dispatch.

Only when there is a dispatch, that is, the so-called official, can Gao Cheng have real power.

"After the order arrives, Mr. Zhao, you will be in charge of the village. I am going to go to Tokyo in person to see if I have any chance to be sent!" Gao Cheng said.

There are many future Liangshan generals in Tokyo. And in a while, Luda will go to Daxiangguo Temple. Gao Cheng naturally wants to seize this opportunity and try to attract the other party.

These days, Gao Cheng sent people to pay attention to Lu Da's movements. Two or three months ago, shortly after he left Weizhou, Lu Da committed a life lawsuit and was forced to go to Mount Wutai to become a monk.

In fact, in addition to Lu Da and Shi Jin, there are many powerful heroes in Guanzhong. However, if these people do not have the true spirit of stars, Gao Cheng did not pay much attention to it. After all, his future plans are in Tokyo, Shandong, and not in Guanzhong.
