Since Qi Yang recovered, Huo Qijing has a special feeling of "people feel refreshed when happy events happen", and he smiles more.
This time we went out, someone arranged by Huo Qijing was actually there, and he knew the general situation.
What Han Yi said here was pretty much the same. In short, they had successfully followed this trade route and had stable contacts everywhere. In addition, they also roped in Qian Hou, the gangster leader over there.
But on the surface, the person collecting wool and cashmere was a businessman named Zheng Zhi, who was actually from Huo Qijing's side.
Xia Yuhui was very shocked when he heard this.
He is not stupid, and he is not someone like Xu Wenqu who focuses on learning. Xu Wenqu recommended him because he is good at communication and has done things in this field, so he is an expert.
But Tang Shiyue, this little lady, is really refreshing his knowledge anytime and anywhere.
What surprised him at first was that the recently famous "Hero Wine" was actually related to Tang Shiyue, but gradually, he was shocked by their connections and methods.
Although Han Yi said it very naturally, he could hear all the aspects involved.
It was only at this moment that he put away all his laziness and self-confidence, and began to really take this "job" seriously.
So in the end, he kept asking questions with a serious look on his face, while Tang Shiyue and Huo Qijing chatted while eating, and Xia Yuhui listened to the whispers in his ears, "chirping, chirping" like birds, obviously
The two of them were really engaged in chatting.
Then the two of them stayed very politely until Han Yi finished speaking, then got up and left while chatting.
Han Yi glanced at him silently, and Xia Yuhui also glanced at him silently.
The mood of both of them is "Although my boss is very good and trusts me very much, I should be very happy, but there is always a sense of disappointment of being rejected. How can I break it?"
Then Xia Yuhui picked up the jug and poured him a glass of wine: "Come on, A-yi, let's talk while drinking. Tell me about the next cashmere..."
In fact, Tang Shiyue really paid attention and listened. When she heard that it was no big deal, she stopped listening. She mainly remembered one thing.
There are many sheep on the Lanzhou grassland. To the people on the grassland, they only eat mutton and drink goat milk wine at most. But for them, the whole body of the sheep is actually a treasure!
If the opportunity to collect wool and cashmere is opened, and you are facing the same people, you can completely consider other options. For example, goat milk can be used to make milk pimples, which is cheese, which is a delicious snack, and suet.
, can make candles and soap.
So what they have to think about now is whether they should do this business themselves.
Huo Qijing had never thought before that there was so much business and it was so easy to make money.
In fact, for him, the money earned from Hero Wine is enough, but since he can earn more, there is nothing wrong with it. If he is worried about being tabooed by others, he can do it in partnership with others.
Huo Qijing couldn't help but ask her: "Ah Yue, why don't you ask me what I want the money for?"
"It's not important!" Tang Shiyue said, "I know you won't do bad things."
Huo Qijing sighed silently: "Most of the money I want is to support the families of some soldiers who died at the border. The rest is to buy some winter clothes, food and rice, and send it to the border before the cold winter comes."
This was the first time he really mentioned the border and his secret.
Tang Shiyue nodded quietly and obediently prepared to make a tree hole.
He glanced at her and said softly: "Ayue, do you still remember those Lanzhou merchants? Did they mention Huo Jiajun?"
She nodded again, and Huo Qijing was silent for a long time: "Since the founding of Dayan, the Huo family has been guarding the border. My grandfather Huo Bo is known as General Yum and has a great reputation. But my father, he has been disabled since he was a child.
Weak, good at calligraphy and painting, but not good at bowing, horse riding, and shooting, let alone marching and forming formations, even though I was taught by my grandfather, I still couldn't do it."
He paused for a moment: "Then I was born, and it was said that I had some talent, so my grandfather stopped teaching him and only took me with him to teach me. But when I was ten years old, my grandfather died on the battlefield."
Tang Shiyue held his hand comfortingly, and then asked him: "Is that 'waste from the border town' your father?"
Huo Qijing was stunned.
He glanced at her and then nodded: "Yes, it's my father. A-Yue is so smart, I can't hide anything from you."
Tang Shiyue said: "I just saw something was wrong with your expression at that time."
Huo Qijing was stunned again.
He didn't expect that she would pay attention to his expression at that time, and his eyes couldn't help but warm up.
Huo Jiajun has been guarding the border for generations, and no one in Dayan knows it. Even Tang Shiyue, an outsider, has heard of it many times.
The Huo family is known as a family of divine generals. What is rare is that the monarchs of all dynasties have also trusted it and granted the title of King of the Northwest. This is the only king with a different surname in Dayan. It is hereditary and the whole family is in the border town. This has broken the precedent of all dynasties.
It is a tradition for military commanders and their families to stay in the capital when they are young.
The relationship between the king and his ministers has become a good story, and the story of General Bai Sheng is also widely circulated among the people.
But Huo Qijing's father Huo Yi has never been heard of.
Huo Qijing was taught by his grandfather since he was a child, but when he was ten years old, Huo Bo died on the battlefield. In this era, there were "hereditary father and son soldiers". Huo Yi's son inherited his father's duties, drove ducks to the shelves, and became a soldier.
The commander of the army.
Three years later, in a great battle, Yan's army was defeated miserably. The enemy troops broke through the border town. Huo Yi's mother was killed among the rebels. Huo Yi lost his mind for a moment and recklessly led his troops to counterattack. Once again, they fell into the sand and suffered heavy casualties.
.
Huo Yi was seriously injured, and then he wrote a letter of apology in blood, confessing his guilt, and begging not to offend his family.
Then he committed suicide in public.
In fact, this is using the Huo family's past achievements to defeat the emperor's army.
But a big mistake has been made. In order to save his family, Huo Yi has no other choice.
Later, Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to take away the title of the northwest king of the Huo family and demoted Huo Qijing and Huo Qiyang to common people, but he was not convicted again.
From then on, in the eyes of the border residents, Huo Yi became a bastard who indulged in love and ignored the state. He was infamous after his death.
In the past two years, Huo Qijing has been working hard to earn money and provide support to the families of the soldiers who died, especially those who died in the last battle, which can be regarded as atonement for his father's sins.
Now this matter has come to an end.
Tang Shiyue listened to Huo Qijing's story and nodded slowly.
If Huo Yi is a "waste from the border town", and even Xu Wenqu admires him so much, he obviously has high attainments in calligraphy and painting. Then, it is normal for a scholar who is good at calligraphy and painting but not good at fighting.
This is like asking Xu Wenqu to lead troops, but he doesn't know how to lead them. It's the same.
Huo Qijing said: "Although I left the border, the Huo family's private guards and many of my grandfather's old troops are still in my hands... It's just..." He hesitated: "There are many people among them, and we have different ideas.
It’s already drifting away.”
The commander currently guarding the border is called Du Qisheng, who once served as Hobo's deputy general and was a brother who fought side by side with Hobo for many years.
Many people think that Du Qisheng is ungrateful and took away the Huo family's army and the position of the Huo family's general. They hope that Huo Qijing can drive Du Qisheng away and regain the tiger talisman of the coach.
Tang Shiyue asked: "What do you think?"
"There is nothing to think about," Huo Qijing said calmly: "Whatever the Huo family army is, in the final analysis it is Dayan's troops. No matter how many generations we have been in charge, we will not become the Huo family's private army. And General Du
, he was also appointed as the head coach by the imperial court, and he did not take away the Huo family’s tiger talisman."
He sighed: "So, what they said is inappropriate in the first place. In the final analysis, they are just unwilling to accept it." (To be continued)
