The harmony between the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and the local area is a matter of course.
I won’t mention the excitement of this night.
Several big business orders had already arrived, waiting for the opening of the Yangshan Guild Hall. There were so many greetings from all parties that the table could not be piled up. Jiang Lishui was transferred here from Jishi Village as his secretary, and he was so excited that he stayed up all night.
Working like a chicken blood:
The opportunity you've been dreaming of has finally arrived.
He took out a letter of greeting from the pile of letters and handed it to He Lingchuan with both hands: "Island owner, the envoy of Pei State has delivered this letter. This is the third letter."
He Lingchuan glanced at the first two letters, but this time he waved his hand without raising his head: "Put it down and ignore it."
"Yes." Jiang Lishui also felt strange. The island owner clearly asked him to pay attention to Ambassador Pei's greetings, but he did not reply to any of them.
Pei Guo submitted it three times in a row, but nothing happened.
The Situ family borrowed a large amount of money and food to support the war, which gave them greater strength and defeated Pixia. This incident caused a great sensation in the surrounding area, and the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce became famous in one fell swoop.
Pei State was also one of the seven countries that conquered Bixia, and was the first ally of Situ to join the war. Of course, it was full of curiosity about the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and He Lingchuan, and hoped to get acquainted with them.
For an outsider to be so prominent in the central and western parts of the Golden Plains, he must be either a liar or a financier.
Originally, the former was most likely, but the money and food the Situ family received and the battles they won showed that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was truly powerful.
People always flock to the strong. He Lingchuan will receive countless invitations from surrounding forces, large and small, and he will reply selectively.
All the forces surrounding Pei State received replies, but it was the only one that was not welcomed.
Soon, Situ He sent someone to inform:
The wine shop has been stocked and everyone has made appointments.
He Lingchuan immediately called Dou Wenguan: "Let's put aside what we are doing and let's go meet our old friends."
…
Noon, Zhuyin Tavern.
Jucheng has just been recaptured and has not yet been freed from the state of war. In addition, the city's population is not large. Today, there are only two or three shops out of ten on the main street, and there are only a few pedestrians.
There are four or five pubs open in the city. Zhuyin is not the biggest among them, but it is the one with the best business.
Since it is called "Bamboo Yin", the wing rooms are all bamboo-clad stilted buildings, which is quite unique. However, it has been built for a while, and it creaks no matter who walks up or down.
He Lingchuan and Dou Wenguan climbed up, and the people inside screamed:
"They're here, they're here!"
There were eleven or two people sitting in the wing, and Situ He was among them. More than half of the others were old faces that He Lingchuan recognized from Lingxu City.
After being apart for more than two years, we only exchanged pleasantries when we met.
There was laughter and laughter for a while, as if we were back to the good old days.
He Lingchuan grabbed the wine glass and expressed dissatisfaction with Situ He: "There are so many old friends, why did you find these few for me?"
Today's game was saved by Situ He, and he also organized the people.
Yu Hai smiled and said, "Situ wants to save you some money."
Situ He clarified: "No, no, I'm not that kind. After these few battles, our good friends are scattered everywhere, and Lao He is in a hurry. It's not easy for me to pick you up. Others
You have to find it again slowly."
The Seven-Route Allied Forces are attacking Bixia. There is so much turmoil around here, so everyone knows to stay away.
He then said to He Lingchuan: "The dozen or so of us are from the surrounding area, other students have to look further away."
"Okay, I'll count you on your merits, don't rush for a while." He Lingchuan raised his glass, "Come, let's drink to old friends and new friends!"
Today's game was about the old leading the new. He Lingchuan made five or six new friends, all of whom were students who had studied in Lingxu City or Mou State.
These returned overseas students formed multiple circles and had regular contacts. It was not difficult for Situ He to find them to drink with them, but some of them were no longer nearby during the war.
Let's talk about the past, and then talk about the changes in Lingxu City two years ago, and then talk about the current situation in the Golden Flash Plains, and then lament about life, the vegetation, and the autumn, and the sun slowly sets in the west.
Wine is a broom for sorrow, but sometimes the more it sweeps away, the more sorrowful it becomes. I don’t know which leader talked about the future of his homeland. Everyone drank in silence, and suddenly they all became depressed.
They have all seen the prosperity of Bejia and the power of Mou State, and they know that the sky is vast outside, and only the Shining Gold Plain is backward and miserable, which has not changed for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, many heroes and martyrs have determined to rebuild the country, but ultimately failed. Everyone here knows that no matter how ambitious they are, they will still be unable to escape the same mistakes.
The strange circle of time in the Golden Plains will only cycle again.
The new student Kang Lang sighed: "Ignorance is a blessing. Sometimes I really envy those villagers and women who are ignorant all day long and are only busy at their desks and in the fields."
Situ He didn't like hearing this: "Last time when Bixia attacked, more than a hundred people in Mian Village were kidnapped and sacrificed to the ghost king. The Bixia people dug a big pit and buried them all, and their bodies were
The wild dogs bit them beyond recognition! The villagers and women you call are unable to save their own lives in troubled times! Brother Kang has good farmland and a big house in his palace. He has no worries about food and drink, is protected by the army, and is not afraid of bandits. How can he still envy the precarious life?
The common people are coming?"
He has really seen and suffered enough in the past few months.
Kang Lang was choked by him and couldn't answer, feeling a little ashamed.
In today's gathering, Kang Lang actually has the highest status. Others live in mansions, but he lives in the palace——
He is the sixth son of King Poliu and the son-in-law of the leader of the Kan tribe. These two forces are one of the seven allied forces attacking Vixia.
Kang Lang went to Beijia one year later than Situ He, and studied at another academy instead of Lingxu Imperial College.
When Situ He explained his background to He Lingchuan, he made it clear that this prince was loved by his father and almost got killed, so he was sent to Bejia to study.
Naturally, his marriage was also a marriage. It is said that "the bride is stronger than him" - Situ He's original words.
Although he was a prince, he still couldn't help himself. He Lingchuan understood his feelings.
Yu Hai quickly raised his glass to smooth things over: "The common people's worry is food and clothing, and our worry is a way out. However, when the war breaks out and chaos breaks out, we are all like duckweeds, and our lives are in the hands of others. Alas, how many more can there be?
different?"
Kang Lang nodded: "It was my slip of the tongue, don't be upset, Situ."
Dou Wenguan also said: "Yes, I heard that Situ was kidnapped by Bixia not long ago. His eyes and tongue were almost gouged out, and the city gate was hung upside down. Am I exaggerating?"
Situ He raised his left hand and showed three fingers: "Of course not! If Brother He hadn't rescued me in time, you would have burned paper money for me now."
Others had noticed that he had a disability on his hand, but it was difficult to ask. However, Situ He held his head high and proud, thinking that this was a medal of bravery, so everyone felt free to ask about it.
They were chatting animatedly, and He Lingchuan winked at Yu Hai. The two quietly left the table and went to the riverside to take some fresh air.
