Chapter 1

The towering wooden pagoda of Brahma Temple was bathed in the vast twilight, and a row of egrets flew over the eaves of the flying tower. The golden copper bells at the eaves swayed in the evening breeze, making a crisp sound, and the bell body reflected the afterglow of the setting sun

Standing at the highest point of Fenghuáng Ridge, looking into the distance from the railing, the Leifeng Pagoda on the peninsula, the rippling Xizi Lake, and even the Cuiwei Garden in the shade of green willows by the lake are vaguely visible.

As his eyes passed the peach forest on the lakeside, Cheng Zongyang's eyes twitched slightly.

Jian Yuji spoke out and wanted to cut off the Yun family's support for Jiangzhou, but after she ran around in the middle, the Yun family and Jiangzhou are now a community of interests that are prosperous and both rich and lose. The foundation of the Black Demon Sea in Jin State has long been cleared. Where did she get the confidence and means to break up the cooperation between the two parties?

Qin Hui said: What kind of person is Jian Yuji...?

Cheng Zongyang didn't know how to answer Qin Hui's inquiry, and he hesitated for a long time before he could speak out four words:

Qin Hui said: Wu Zong is good at collecting and replenishing. Could this sword jade beauties with the beauty of the country?

Cheng Zongyang shook his head, I don't know

Qin Hui raised his eyebrows and said: Is this girl wearing a veil when she met the young master? If so, her identity would be quite strange...

no

Cheng Zongyang said: I have been talking to her for so long. When I think back now, I don’t even remember what she looks like. There is only an impression of “Floating like a god, unparalleled immortality”

Cheng Zongyang raised his finger, as if he wanted to outline Jian Yuji's appearance, but in the end he gave up.

I only know that she is a beautiful woman

Qin Hui had a slightly locked brow, and he was worried that Jian Yuji had not covered his face, but the head of the family only saw his style and his face. This kind of confused magic was originally the secret skill of the Wu Sect, which is not surprising. However, based on his understanding of the head of the family, another possibility is not small: the head of the family was really dazzled by Jian Yuji's beauty.

Cheng Zongyang sighed: I thought that when I met Jian Yuji, I would fight to the death without saying anything. Even if I talk, there was nothing good to say, but Jian Yuji gave me the feeling...

Cheng Zongyang leaned against the railing and shook his head incredibly

Just like an old friend who has been dating for many years, don't get me wrong. This is definitely the first time I have seen her. If I have seen such a woman, I will definitely not forget that Jian Yuji's words and deeds make people feel like spring breeze. Even if she finally said that she was about to cut off the connection between Yun and us, it doesn't sound like a threat, but more like a kind reminder.

Qin Hui listened carefully to the head of the family statement while distinguishing the meaning of it

Now that I don't believe it myself

Cheng Zongyang said: I didn’t feel any hostility towards her from beginning to end. Later, I felt that the situation was wrong and deliberately used impolite words to stir up her anger, but she did it calmly!

Cheng Zongyang slapped the railing

When I think back now, I know where the most terrifying thing about Jian Yuji is. Do you know?

Please tell me clearly

You pig!

Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, then bowed gracefully, and his subordinates were ashamed.

Cheng Zongyang patted his shoulder. Did you see it? If someone deliberately spoke rudely, the reaction of ordinary people is nothing more than a tit-for-tat retort; or pretending to be dead, turning a blind eye to others, letting others spit on their own; or admitting their mistakes sincerely; and another is to make a joke to resolve the embarrassment

Qin Hui pondered: I think it is the third type. Jian Yuji is so clever. Could it be the fourth type?

I haven't finished speaking yet

Cheng Zongyang said: From another perspective, I am rude. The first reaction is nothing to say. Everyone has a big fight, and the second one seems to be well-cultivated. But when it appears in the negotiation, it immediately falls aside, making people look down on it, and the third one is even more boring. I deliberately said, what else can I admit wrong? Even if you do it without any leakage, I believe your sincerity, the result may be even worse. Toughly think that you are a soft persimmon. If you are a good person, you will inevitably feel guilty.

Qin Hui immediately said: Young Master, don't apologize

Come on, treacherous brother, I want to apologize to you, I am a fool

Qin Hui smiled and said: The head of the family is right, and my subordinates admire him and ask what is the terrible thing about Jian Yuji?

If it is the fourth type, it will show intelligence and make people feel jealous. What makes Jian Yuji terrible is that her reactions are within the normal range, without tit-for-tat, without making me look down on her, without making me feel guilty, without showing wisdom, making me feel slightly jealous, I got angry and heard the threat, but I didn't care about her from beginning to end

Cheng Zongyang rubbed his chest and said: When I meet her, I feel very comfortable.

Qin Hui thought for a moment. If this is the case, Jian Yuji doesn't seem to be very clever. Since she is negotiating with the young master, she is dedicated to guiding the young master's intentions and achieving the goal is the best strategy.

Cheng Zongyang sighed and said, "I thought so on the way until I stood on the wooden pagoda of Brahma Temple that I realized that she was not ready to negotiate this business at all!"

Qin Hui was finally surprised now, so why did she come forward?

I guess she has only one purpose for this time.

Cheng Zongyang raised a finger and shook it to build trust

trust?

Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said: I know this is crazy, but Jian Yuji did it. Not only did I believe everything she said, but I also had a sense of trust in her that I couldn't explain clearly. She said she had no malice towards me. I really believe that she did not have any malice. She said she wanted to recruit me to join the Black Demon Sea. I really believe that she was not only serious, but also would not burn bridges and play with any tricks.

Cheng Zongyang patted the railing and sighed: From Jian Yuji, I learned that a person is extremely agile, extraordinary ingenuity, or beautiful in the country; whether he is extraordinary in his cultivation, invincible in the world, or in a high position and power, the country is actually not the most important thing in the interaction between people. The only thing that is really important is: even if you are really a pig, I trust you, you are a god!

Qin Hui disagreed a little. Why did he reach this point?

You have never seen star-chasing clans and crazy believers. Originally, I have always wondered why no matter which kind of fool, there are people who worship him? Now I understand that it is his mother's trust, whether it is a saint or a fool, as long as he can be trusted, someone will be willing to be a moth, let alone Jian Yuji is here to be real!

Cheng Zongyang sighed, I finally understood why Youchan was devoted to her. This Jian Yuji is definitely a master of manipulating people's hearts and a genius in dealing with interpersonal relationships! Her eyes were like standing on the wooden pagoda of Brahma Temple to look down at the world, much taller than me.

It is not difficult for Qin Hui to leave a deep impression on others after a long time. How to grasp the degree of it, while showing his existence, without causing any negative emotions on the other party to be revealed and directly touch the hearts of the people. This is the most difficult thing.

Cheng Zongyang suddenly said: What is behind Tao Zhiyaoyao?

Qin Hui responded: The peach is beautiful, the beauty is bright

What else?

My son is back, and he is suitable for his family

Cheng Zongyang touched his chin and thought for a while, then raised his eyes and looked at Qin Hui. What does it mean?

Qin Hui said in surprise: The young master has never read the Book of Songs

Of course I read it!

Cheng Zongyang was actually unsure. He didn't know if this Taoyao had other meanings in the time and space of the Six Dynasties. He said with a shameless face: Can't you test it?

The peach blossoms are blooming, and it is said that the peach blossoms are extremely prosperous. The Book of Rites says: The peach blossoms are blooming, and the marriage is also in Yilin. It says: The peach blossoms bloom in spring, and the girl in the IKEA...

Stop! Speak human!

That is to say, the peach blossoms are blooming beautifully, and the girl is married just right

Cheng Zongyang pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said in shock: Tian Ah! Could it be Jian Yuji Sichun who wants to get married?

From the perspective of subordinates, the young master's explanation is afraid... it is not appropriate.

While talking, Ao Run jumped onto the wooden pagoda step by step. Feng Dafa brought people to transport the gold jam! Mr. Lin also arrived, but no one was watching on the road.

Cheng Zongyang put away the sigh just now and took Qin Hui to leave the wooden tower quickly

In a secluded Zen room, Lin Qingpu had prepared a copper basin, Qingshui, Yingfen, Cheng Zongyang walked in front of him, and Lin Qingpu immediately performed the water mirror technique, and his palm touched the air, condensed a water mirror.

The news in Jiangzhou was blocked by the Song army. The water mirror technique could only contact Yunzhou. When the waves of the water mirror became clear, the images displayed made Cheng Zongyang overjoyed. Little fox! Why are you here in Yunzhou? How are you injured?

Xiao Yaoyi did not wear the golden crown that symbolized his identity, but just casually tied a black scarf, leaning on his elbow against a soft pad, and a unrestrained smile on his face. Brother Saint! You're scared? Don't worry, I won't die for a while.

How about Jiangzhou?

As the governor of Jiangzhou, the little fox is now in a bloody battle between the city. He left Jiangzhou and ran to the territory of Song. It is unreasonable no matter how he looks.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yaoyi put away his smile and showed a mournful expression like his father who had just died.

The Song army built a magic circle outside the city to restrain most of the magic spells in the city, seven of which were destroyed. The Song army's earth walls had already been built to the edge of the city wall. Everyone could chat with the Song army without leaving the city to spank Xia Yong and that old man. Yesterday, they had already started to block the waterways at the West Gate. What do you think?

Cheng Zongyang's surprise is extraordinary: Really?

Xiao Yaoyi suddenly burst into laughter, haha! You are scared! Cheng Zongyang said angrily: You dead fox, dare to lie to me!

Xiao Yaoyi pointed to the sky and sweared: I have a word to lie, and I will run into eunuch Qin when I go out!

The Song army has already reached the city, and everyone is still fucking!

Song Jun thought so too, so he repaired the earthen wall and everyone rested. A few days ago, I was discussing business with an officer from Song Jun on the city wall. He always sold him two pairs of stockings, saying that it was for filial piety to Shangguan. How about it? This business is not bad, right?

Cheng Zongyang calmed down and said: What's going on?

Xiao Yaoyi slapped the case a few times and said gritting his teeth: That old thing, Mr. Shang! He stole the limelight from our brothers!

Will such a low-key person steal your limelight?

Low-key? That old guy asked someone to hold a big banner...

Wait! What flag does the old man use to hold?

Cheng Zongyang doesn't believe that the old man dares to take the banner of "Zhenyu Shanghou", but if he takes the banner of "Panjiang Cheng's family", he has to disguise himself and run away immediately.

Eighty-eight!

Xiao Yaoyi said with disdain: What is this bird's flag? He raised a few feet high and beat gongs and drums, shaking flags and shouting, and drew a black line along the city wall. That style, it was so lively that it was like playing with a monkey.

Virus!

Cheng Zongyang clapped his hands and said: The old man finally did a good thing!

What a fuck!

Xiao Yaoyi's tears were almost falling: The old thing said that that line could exchange for at least 50,000 lives of the Song army.

Isn't this a good thing?

What an egg! The old guy said, each person's life is at least one gold baht, and after drawing the line, I will ask me for 50,000 gold baht

Cheng Zongyang grinned and was so shameless that the old man was so shameless. He paid for his own money and begged for nothing to find compensation from Xingyue Lake.

He didn't know that Shang Zhenyu was also crying but not crying. Xiao Zi's puppet iron man was a money-burning machine. He was bleeding a lot every day. Why didn't he knock on Xiao Yaoyi and he was going to lose blood and shock?

Fifty thousand gold baht?

Cheng Zongyang said with concern: Are you bankrupt?

It's been bankrupt long ago!

Xiao Yaoyi said: The old guy needs cash when he opens his mouth. I have been merciless and only has a few days to be granted. I first wrote an IOU and agreed to pay the cash within ten days, one day exceeding the deadline, and pay 10% of the interest.

Ten days? I want to help you, but I don’t have time to transport money to you now

I used all the industries in Jiankang in Shaoling Hou Mansion as collateral and borrowed 50,000 yuan from Yun's family. Master Yun San has agreed. I will give money to me in the next two days. You have made me suffer! The old man Shanghou is a bat. He caught the blood and sucked it to death.

Xiao Yaoyi finally got to the point, you have to pay for this money for me

If you sign a contract, I will pay? If you ask, is there such a reason in the world?

I don't care...

Xiao Yaoyi said with tears in his eyes: It’s all the vampires you brought... My dragon teeth cone... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I think you are idle!

Shang Hou finally took action. Even if Jiangzhou is not as solid as a sacrificial power, it is not a problem to block the Song army's offensives. No wonder the little fox can slip out, and he still has the heart to be distracted from him.

Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry at this moment and said with a smile: If you can't afford to pay back the money, I can give you an idea to see your thin skin and tender flesh, which is fair and clean. It's better to sell yourself to Shanghou. Maybe the old guy will be fine.

Isn’t it just a butt? I can really exchange money for this battle. Whoever dares to buy it will dare to sell it!

Xiao Yaoyi slid his clothes and patted his butt and shouted: I have the aura of fucking here!

If you are so shameless, you can speak quietly!

Cheng Zongyang hurriedly said: Qingpu! Hurry up and make the sound smaller, don’t let the monks outside hear it!

For the lives of my brothers, I am glorious to sell my ass!

Xiao Yaoyi shouted: Do you believe it or not? I dare to say it on the street!

I believe it! I believe it! Compared to shamelessness, who has the little marquis ever been afraid of?

Cheng Zongyang said: How about not talking about these useless brothers?

Xiao Yaoyi said angrily: It's great that Master Wu Er and Master Qiu smashed the Song army's magic circle and ran into a dead eunuch named Qin, and suffered a small loss.

Wait, I still believe Qiu Boy, but Wu Er has always been afraid of being heavy and cheating. How could he do something like sneak attack on the Song army?

Xiao Yaoyi smacked his lips. This was originally a duel by our Master Qiu chasing the Second Master, and it was a mess all day long. Later, Miss Zi spoke and said that they had no intention of fighting like this. It would be better to smash the Song army's magic circle. Whoever wins first will win. My Master Qiu is a wise and good person. He agreed as soon as he heard that Second Master is a noble man who is unwilling to lose at all, and he never agrees to anything.

Xiao Yaoyi said with a rare look on his face: Later, I don’t know what Miss Zi and Wu Er said. Second Master rushed out of Cheng Cheng as if he was injected with chicken blood. You didn’t see him. Even Boss Meng was stunned on the top of the city and praised Second Master: What a windy man!

It’s not easy for Xiao Zi to provoke Wu Er? Just keep a bone in front of Wu Er and write the word Su Li to ensure that Er Ye runs faster than a dog

Then the two of them were beaten by Eunuch Qin? It should!

Cheng Zongyang said: Let them calm down for two days! Where is Xiao Zi? Why didn’t she come?

Miss Zi is feeling uncomfortable these two days

Cheng Zongyangteng stood up. What's going on? Explain it clearly to me!

Xiao Yaoyi coughed twice and said: Let me tell you the truth, don’t take it to your heart. We brothers all see that Miss Zi is young and has a good personality, and don’t care…

Xiao Yaoyi's hesitant look made Cheng Zongyang even more worried. What happened?

It's really nothing. It's just that Miss Zi took advantage of Wu Er and Qiu's departure from the city and mistakenly entered the wounded camp of the Song army...

Cheng Zongyang said with a calm face: Then what?

Later I heard that 60% of the death of Song Jun in the injured barracks was definitely not her move, but Miss Zi seemed to be shocked and was not feeling well these days.

Xiao Yaoyi said carefully: Brother Cheng, you won’t have any bad views on Miss Zi, right?

Bad views? My dear brother, I have learned some mistakes. Do you think she is a harmless little girl? What is the idea of ​​a dead girl? I can guess it with my biceps! She fished those two fools and broke into the Song army's wounded barracks to collect her soul! No wonder she refused to come with me

Cheng Zongyang said hatefully: You damn girl, you will die if you pick less at once! You’ll eat too much now!

Although she was full of complaints, Cheng Zongyang didn't worry too much about having Shang Hou here. At most, the dead girl would have indigestion. But what did she want to do if she wanted so much soul?

Xiao Yaoyi looked at his face and was gloomy and clear, but he didn't bother him. He just opened the folding fan and shook it gently.

After a long time, Cheng Zongyang breathed: No wonder you came here in person, is that just saying this?

The threat from the Song army and the extortion of Shang Hou are not a big deal. At least there is no need for Xiao Yaoyi to go to Yunzhou to meet him now, for the sake of Xiao Zi

In Bajun's eyes, Yue Shuai's daughter is equal to their own sister. The dead girl has been disguising as a girl next door, but she has taken thousands of lives to kill her brothers. She immediately scared her brothers.

If this matter becomes a shadow between Cheng Zongyang and Xiao Zi, it will probably affect the relationship between the two in the future. Ba Jun can't help but be unwilling to care about it, and it can be seen from this that Ba Jun's love for Xiao Zi, including Yue Shuang

Seeing that Cheng Zongyang had no strange expression, Xiao Yaoyi also felt relieved and talked about the serious matter.

Until now, although the brothers of Xingyue Lake can still support the city, the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, and the losses of the mercenaries and various divisions are not a big deal. We are now relying on the supply of the Yun family and the virus of Old Man Shang to take a breath. Once the waterway is cut off, we will be in big trouble. Brother Cheng, how long will you have to wait there?

I was going to wait a few more days to get bigger. Since this is the case, after four hours, I will start the operation of food warfare. It will be seven to eight days faster, and it will be clear if it is about ten days slower.

good!

Xiao Yaoyi immediately became furious, Brother Saint, if you can solve the problem in Jiangzhou this time, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman to enjoy you, okay?

Go to death!

The little fox raised his orchid finger and shook it to his face, annoying...

Dead fox! Be careful that I spit your face through the water mirror!

Lin Qingpu dissipates the water mirror, and the news between the two sides is cut off

Cheng Zongyang sat in the twilight for a quarter of an hour, and then made up his mind that it would be a dragon or a snake. Is this happening? Brother Lin, do you dare to gamble with me?

How dare not?

Lin Qingpu Road: Two hundred silver chunks, my bet on the young master wins

It's a lot of money

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Don't be heard by Lao Ao, I'll borrow money from you.

Lin Qingpu Road: Captain Ao has a lot of people to take care of, so he doesn't spend much on himself

Lao Ao is a kind person

Cheng Zongyang said: When the roster of the Snow Falcon Group is built, the company will be responsible for those who are willing to join the Cheng family in Panjiang, so he doesn't have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Lin Qingpu was silent for a moment and sighed: Young Master Renhou

As long as I am willing to follow me, I will do my best to take care of it. Only by having no worries can I do my best to do things with all my heart. I will make a profit.

Cheng Zong salivated and waited for Lin Qingpu's response. After a while, there was no explanation, so he had to smile and said: I'll go see Master Yun Liu.

Yun Xiufeng was sitting opposite an old monk with white hair and beard and drinking tea. When he saw Cheng Zongyang coming in, he smiled and said: This is the abbot of Brahma Temple, Master Zhiyong

Master Zhiyong is over 60 years old and has kind eyes, which makes people feel respectful at first sight.

Cheng Zongyang bowed and said: Boy Cheng Zongyang, I have met the master

Amitabha,

The old monk said together: Tan Yue doesn’t have to be too polite. Since there is something to discuss, I will say goodbye.

Yun Xiufeng also stood up, and the two of them gave Master Zhiyong away.

Cheng Zongyang sat down and said: Jiangzhou is in a tight situation and Lin'an is preparing for the grain war for so long. I am going to start the full launch tomorrow morning. Master Yun Liu, I need all our current accurate figures of food.

Yun Xiufeng is taciturn and has a blow from his palms to send someone to the account book

Feng Dafa

Why!

Feng Yuan responded and spread out his pen

Cheng Zongyang had a lot of things, the most important thing was to find stone carving craftsmen and make impressions of paper money. This was extremely meticulous and only Qin Hui could do it. Lin Qingpu needed to calm down after performing the technique. Feng Yuan was still very knowledgeable about writing. Cheng Zongyang drove the duck to the shelves and took him to be responsible for copying the accounts.

Feng Yuan's words were a little bit bad, but he was very scheming when calculating the accounts. He was extremely careful and took more than an hour to check the accounts.

The Yun family had a total of 43 semicolons in the Song Dynasty, of which 30% were in the light and 70% were in the dark. The few were 30,000 shi, and the more than 400,000 shi, including the transaction of Qi Yuan in Yunzhou, totaling 2.76 million shi, and a total of 710,000 gold baht. In addition, there were 1 million shi of grain purchased from the Zhu family grain store in Qingzhou, which cost 150,000 gold baht.

Grain prices vary from place to place, but now it is a time when the weather is not connected. Even in the past, the price of grain was between 600 and 800 copper zhu per stone last year. Last year, the Song Dynasty implemented the square-field tax law, with a large amount of land abandoned and grain production reduced by nearly; in addition to the Jiangzhou war and the Yun family's secret purchase, the food circulating in the market has been greatly reduced. Except for a very few main grain-producing areas, the price of grain exceeded 12 silver zhu per stone.

In a large city like Lin'an with a concentrated population, the price of grain has exceeded 15 silver baht per stone, or even reached 18 silver baht. If all of them are released at the current price, the current grain stockpiled by the Yun family alone will be nearly 2 million gold baht.

But both Yun Xiufeng and Cheng Zongyang knew that this theoretical excess profit would not be realized. Once Yun's merchants in various places sold food in full, the grain prices would fall. I wanted to withdraw 2 million gold baht of cash from the Song Dynasty's grain trading market. It was completely a dream to expect ordinary residents to pay for it.

Cheng Zongyang has been thinking about it for many days. Now he has carefully looked at the accounts and said confidently: Since Master Yun Liu can trust me, Cheng will make a simple arrangement.

Yun Xiufeng sat in the chair, his body was still moving, but his palm subconsciously held the jade pendant. After all, this business involved nearly one million gold baht, and even with Yun's family business, he almost took time out all the working capital.

The market price will start selling grain at market prices tomorrow morning. The sales volume of local businesses shall not exceed 10%. The market's purpose will reflect that if there is a decline of more than one silver baht in various markets, it means that there is still a large amount of surplus grain in the market. Then, from the next day, we will switch to acquisition.

Yun Xiufeng listened carefully to Cheng Zongyang's consideration of the safety of Jiangzhou, but for Yun, the most important thing is of course profit. From the perspective of capital security, the grain price has now reached fifteen silver baht, and even if it is gradually sold, there will be enough profit. If the purchase is to increase the price of grain, it will increase the risk.

There are two factors,

Cheng Zongyang explained: The first is to explore the virtual and real situation of Changping. If the price of grain exceeds fifteen silver baht, Changping positions in various places still do not buy grain to stabilize the market, which shows that the Changping positions in Song State have no grain adjustment. Another is to eliminate some speculators by first lowering and then rising, giving them the opportunity to make profits and leave the market, so that we can control transactions to the maximum extent.

Yun Xiufeng said: If no one takes over, where should this grain be sold?

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: The person who took over the market is already on the road. If it is fast, tomorrow will be tomorrow. If it is late, someone will come to take over the market the next day.

Yun Xiufeng looked at Cheng Zongyang for a long time, and then said: It’s better for the next generation to push the previous generation, so you will do it according to your opinion.

Thank you, Master Liu!

Cheng Zongyang did not mention the threat of the Black Demon Sea to Yun Xiufeng. Although he knew that Jian Yuji's intimidation was not a false statement, before understanding Jian Yuji's methods, he would only let the Black Demon Sea take advantage of it.

He believed that as long as Li Dad was firmly tied up and turned his relationship with Yun into as solid as cement, no matter how hard the Black Demon Sea was provoked, it would be useless.

The next day, Cheng Zongyang stayed in Brahma Temple, taking the opportunity to refine the true qi while waiting for the food price.

In the evening, the first batch of transaction information was transmitted to Lin'an through carrier pigeons. Grain prices rose and fell in different places, but most of them maintained the original price, only! Two or five prefectures and counties saw a slight decline.

Cheng Zongyang put down the file, yawned and said: It seems that there is not much surplus grain on the market, and he can't squeeze out any oil and water from the merchants.
