It was sunny on the fourth day of April in the seventh year of Xuanhe.
Xu Zizhen would not have thought that this high-five between himself and Wan Yanang would allow his caravan to form a long trade route centered on the Song Dynasty and covering Xixia, Jin, Xiliao, Tubo, Dali and even the Western Regions.
It also allowed his caravan to become one of the strongest and richest caravans in the Song Dynasty many years later.
The two then discussed the specific details of the cooperation in the room for a long time. Wan Yanang was a young genius with a sharp mind, while Xu Zizhen studied trade in his previous life, and was familiar with doing business. Many complicated cooperation terms were completed in a short period of time.
The revision will be completed within a day.
Of course, the agreements are all false, but Xu Zizhen believes that Wanyan Ang will not cheat him on this. No matter who it is, everyone will be happy to see maximization of interests.
Wan Yanang left with high fighting spirit and full of longing to prepare to return to his Dajin territory. Xu Zizhen was also preparing to leave Bianjing and go to school.
Before leaving, Xu Zizhen called Daye over and handed him a letter. The letter was given to Li Luoyan and Yun Shanglan who were far away in Xixia. The purpose was very simple, so that Yun Shanglan could handle the caravan affairs.
Yelu Dashi still doesn't know where he hit, but it is foreseeable that he will open up new territories in the next few years, which means that large quantities of tradable materials will be gathered here, and all of this will be money.
Daye had gone to Xixia with Xu Zizhen, so he could only make the trip in person. Xu Zizhen was very relieved about this.
Next is the arrangements for everyone here in Bianjing. Although the Jingkang disaster is still some time away, Xu Zizhen has already urged Mo Lier to leave. Xie Fuchun must be transferred to Yingtian Mansion, including everyone else, and
Bu Fen took the Shenji Battalion to Hebei, and he was accompanied by He Liangliang and Tang Lun. In their words, only on the battlefield can their firearms continue to improve. Maybe Xu Zizhen will see them next time
Maybe there will be new surprises.
It is not very far from Bianjing to Yingtianfu, but it still takes several days to travel. After another day of delay, Xu Zizhen finally had to embark on his "study" road early the next morning.
Speaking of which, he is still very proud. In his previous life, he only attended a second-rate university in a second-rate city, and he also studied the second-rate majors that are common in the streets. He did not expect that after coming to the Song Dynasty, he actually got into the highest university these days.
, isn’t it equivalent to Peking University and Tsinghua University at that time?
The spring breeze brought joy to his horse's hoofs, and Xu Zizhen walked along the official road humming a ditty, followed by Kou Qiaoyi and Bao'er. The sunny weather made him feel happy, and he was already imagining the wonderful days after entering Yingtian Academy.
Women's House, tsk tsk...
Suddenly Bao'er interrupted his random thoughts, pointed forward and shouted: "Huh? Uncle, look."
Xu Zizhen looked up and was stunned. There was a pavilion on the roadside not far ahead. Several horses were tied to the pavilion and several sedans were parked. In the pavilion, there were several people looking at him with smiles. Each one of them actually
They are all acquaintances.
One is Wen Chengyan, and beside him are naturally Wen Xian and Qian Tongzhi. There is also a burly and fierce man who turns out to be Zhao Gou's personal bodyguard Yan Zhao.
Xu Zizhen hurried forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, why are you here?" He suddenly said, "Oh yes, Lao Qian wants to respond to Tianshuyuan. Are you and Xian'er here to see him off?"
Wen Chengyan smiled and said nothing. Wen Xian took the words and said with a smile: "My cousin naturally wants to respond to Tianshuyuan, but not only him, I also need to get through it."
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Xian'er, are you saying that you also study in Yingtian Academy? Women's Academy?"
Wen Xian pursed her lips and nodded with a smile. Qian Tongzhi chuckled and said, "My cousin is a well-known talented woman. You can enter Yingtian Academy, why can't she?"
Xu Zizhen glared at him and said, "When did I say that Xian'er can't get in? Don't sow discord here! Uh, Lao Yan, what are you..." He thought of Yan Zhao again mid-sentence, and couldn't help but look over.
No wonder Xu Zizhen wants to laugh but is embarrassed to laugh now, because what Yan Zhao is wearing today is really nondescript. He obviously looks like a blacksmith, but he wears a Confucian shirt and a Xiaoyao scarf, and he also carries a
In the bookstore, a picture emerged in Xu Zizhen's mind. The new version of A Chinese Ghost Story was released, and Ning Caichen, who originally played Zhang Fei, came out as a guest star.
Yan Zhao also seemed to know that his image was very strange. He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "I...I also go to Yingtian Academy to study."
Xu Zizhen felt his chin fall to the ground, his eyes widened: "Are you going to Yingtian Academy to study?"
Yan Zhao looked even more embarrassed, and laughed dryly and said: "And it's... Hehe, it's the inner courtyard. The prince said that it's okay for me to feel the atmosphere. It doesn't mean that I can be both civil and military, at least I won't look like a reckless man in the future.
"
Xu Zizhen didn't even know what to say. Yan Zhao was an out-and-out martial artist, and he knew a few big characters, but wouldn't bringing him into Yingtian Academy ruin the reputation there? What's more, he entered directly.
In the courtyard, that is, Xiuwen Hall, Zhao Gou is not afraid that the talented people there will flood Yan and Zhao with saliva?
However, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he immediately understood Zhao Gou's intention. It was a lie for Yan Zhao to go to school, but it was true to protect himself. Speaking of which, Yan Zhao was actually very skilled. He was seriously injured last time at Zhending Camp.
It was just because he was tricked by the traitor with drugs. If Xu Zizhen fought with him, he would definitely be tortured.
Regardless of whether Zhao Gou really wanted to protect him or wanted to use Yan Zhao to control him in disguise, but even the latter was because Zhao Gou had become dependent on him and did not dare to let him go.
Xu Zizhen was moved in his heart, patted Yan Zhao's shoulder, and sighed heavily: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Yan!"
Yan Zhao's eyes turned red and he was about to cry when he looked like that. How could he want to go to school? In his opinion, even if he was sent to work in the mines as a coolie, it would be better than reciting poems every day. However, the prince's orders could not be violated.
He had to go.
Zhao Gou didn't have many expert guards around him, but after Xu Zizhen mentioned his "future" many times, he became very confident that nothing unexpected would happen to him. But on the other hand, Xu Zizhen was his treasure.
His safety must be ensured, so he sent out the strongest force around him despite Yan Zhao's persuasion.
Xu Zizhen quickly understood Zhao Gou's intentions and accepted it readily. In fact, it didn't matter whether he was protected or not. Anyway, he liked Yan Zhao's temperament. It would be nice to have him as a companion to study with. Anyway, he didn't really plan to study.
.
Several people teamed up and arrived at Yingtian Mansion three days later, neither early nor late.
