Fu Song

Chapter 72 Request
Xiao Ding looked at the bill of [-] that was issued by Deli Bank on the table, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

He knows how hard it is to make money. He has worked hard in the frontier caravan for a year, and he will only earn two or three thousand dollars in wind and rain. more meager.

But his younger brother took out such a huge sum of money quietly.

"Where did it come from?" He looked at Xiao Cheng suspiciously.

"This is what Big Brother earned!" Xiao Cheng smiled and pushed the bill to Xiao Ding.

"When did I make this money?" Xiao Ding shook his head.

"Big brother is [-] to [-], and Bianliang is booming. Many places have opened bets, so my younger brother went to them to place some bets. The highest bet is [-] to [-], and the worst is also [-] to lose. Sixth, how could my little brother miss such a great opportunity to make money? So I spent [-] yuan and made a full [-] yuan." Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Yesterday, my little brother was driving the carriage to collect the money!"

Xiao Ding was stunned: "You are really bold, just throwing the [-] kansen like this, you are not afraid that once I lose, I will lose everything?"

"Because I have a lot of confidence in the big brother!" Xiao Cheng said: "So I said this was earned by the big brother. Now, they belong to the big brother."

"This is what you earned, so of course it's yours!" Xiao Ding said: "Big brother can't take advantage of you for nothing."

"The family doesn't speak two words." Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Brother, if you really want to move the town of Shaanxi Road, then all you will need is money. The more money you have, the more money you need, the more peace of mind! On the court side, you still don't have high expectations. The money they put out is just for you to get things done. As for the problems encountered in the process, they don't care. So just in case Well!"

Xiao Ding couldn't help but move.

He is also a cheerful person, put away the bills and said, "So, even if I borrowed it from my brother."

"Family, what to borrow or not." Xiao Cheng smiled. "But brother, I really have something to ask you!"

Xiao Ding couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, even if you say, eldest brother has nothing to do with it."

"This time eldest brother moved to town, take me with you! I am confident that I can still be of help, little brother." Xiao Cheng said with a smile. "The matter of moving the town is complicated, and my younger brother is not talented. I originally recommended myself to go under the eldest brother's command, and I have to be sent on a temporary basis to help the eldest brother to do this well."

Xiao Ding was taken aback, and immediately refused: "No, you still have to study. Next spring will be the entrance examination, and after the autumn will be the jinshi examination. How can you be distracted by these mundane tasks at such a critical moment. Don't say it's me, even adults and mothers will never agree. If you really want to mention it to them, you must be reprimanded."

"Brother, reading a thousand volumes of books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles!" Xiao Cheng said, "Brother, I have read enough books over the years, and Master Cen also said that there is no problem with my articles, the only thing I lack is experience. What is lacking is experience. Especially in terms of strategy, there is an empty strategy, but there are no detailed implementation rules.

"Does Master Cen really say that?"

"How dare I tell a lie about this? Your lord knows it too." Xiao Cheng spread his hands and said, "Also, eldest brother, think about it, since our official family already has the mind of the Northern Expedition, we are not interested in eldest brother's three Lu Faliao seemed very interested. The next subject of the Jinshi examination might be related to these things, so my younger brother wanted to go to Hebei and Shaanxi to take a look and do some things along the way. It is both public and private.”

Xiao Cheng's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Xiao Ding nodded again and again.

Not to mention, it's really possible.

"Let's talk to my father about this first. As long as my father agrees, there will be no big problem with my mother." Seeing that Xiao Ding was persuaded, Xiao Cheng beamed with joy.

In the sixteen years since he came to this world, has his footprints left the hundred miles around Bianliang?This time, it is possible to enjoy a visit.

More importantly, this time I followed my eldest brother to get in touch with the practice, and I can also give myself a basic understanding of the most basic bureaucratic system and the most common people in the Song Dynasty.

Before that, he was basically floating in the clouds.

Not to mention the people who I usually come into contact with, these ordinary people in Bianliang City, I am afraid that compared with the people in other places, they are one heaven and one underground.

"Second brother, you read a lot, and from your past letters, you actually know a lot about economic matters. If you can really help me this time, I can worry a lot less." Xiao Ding said. "In the past few days, there has been more and more news. I am afraid that the matter of moving the town of Shaanxi Road is in the process of being implemented. When I think of such complicated matters, I have a headache. It is much harder than fighting a war."

"Don't worry, eldest brother, I'll be with you when the time comes, I will definitely arrange it properly for you, eldest brother!" Xiao Cheng patted his chest to make sure his votes.

The two were talking to themselves, but Xu Wuyan said softly outside the door, "Dalang, Erlang!"

"Grandpa Xu, please come in!" Xiao Chenglang said.

Xu Wuyan pushed open the door and entered.

"Dalang Erlang, the matter of sending money to the dead and wounded Long Guards has been completed, and they have all returned to the eldest lady. The eldest lady asked the old slave to come over and tell the two lords."

Thinking of those Long Guards who died on the school grounds, Xiao Ding felt a little sad, but Xiao Cheng didn't care.

To be honest, he doesn't recognize any of those people, it's really hard to have empathy beyond emotion.

Hundreds of people are beaten like this against ten people. As a soldier, it is considered an extremely useless death.

"What's the reaction of those guys?" Xiao Cheng asked.

Xu Wuyan said: "How else can you react? It is inevitable to hate us, but our etiquette also leaves them speechless. For the dead, we are a family of [-], which is more than the court's pension. Bei, with this money, their family can do some business in Bianliang City, and buy dozens of acres of land outside the city. As long as they cultivate hard, they will never die of starvation."

"That's the only way!" Xiao Ding said. "I hope the death of these people will make the court truly realize what our army in the Song Dynasty needs to do now!"

"Dalang Erlang, but the leader, Xin Jian Xin, is a bit miserable now!" Xu Wuyan continued.

"What happened to him?" For Xin Jian, Xiao Cheng still had a very good impression. On the school ground, he was indeed a rare hero who could fight indistinguishably with his eldest brother.

"He was involved in a lawsuit for empty pay earlier, and he hoped that this time he could get rid of his crime and flourish. In the end, he was defeated by Dalang again. Now this person is settled by Qiuhou, The military loan will be directly removed." Xu Wuyan shook his head.

"Such an officer with outstanding martial arts and good courage has been dismissed just like that?" Xiao Ding felt a little strange.

"Yes, and I don't know who inspired the families of some dead and wounded soldiers to go to this Xin Jian's house to besiege and abuse. When the old slave came back from where, I went to check it out and inquired about it. I heard that this Xin Jian's house is here. , No one has gone out for several days. In fact, I can't get out, the outside is blocked, and every now and then, bricks, bricks, rotten vegetables, leaves, rotten eggs fly in." Xu Wuyan said.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng looked at each other, Xiao Cheng said, "Our family has given us money and done all the gifts, and those people also know that our family is something they can't afford to offend. The soldiers in the shop are about to come to arrest them. But there is still a sense of anger in their hearts, and they need to find an outlet. This Xin Jian is very pitiful and has become their punching bag."

"Does Long Weijun care about this matter? Does Taiwei Zhang care?" Xiao Ding frowned and said, "Anyway, Xin Jian was also performing official duties before, and he was appointed by Taiwei Zhang himself. "

"Zhang Taiwei and the bodyguards are commanding Huang Chun, and Long Weijun's commander Xiang Hai is now asking for guilt. Staying at home and waiting for the result, how can you still have the mood to take care of a little Xin Jian?" Xu Wuyan Said: "And I also heard that Xin Jian himself has a personal feud with Huang Hai, the son of the commander of Huang Du. Now, how could Huang Hai not take advantage of this matter and put Xin Jian to death!"

Hearing Xu Wuyan say this, Xiao Ding couldn't sit still and stood up.

"What? Big brother, do you have a love for talent?" Xiao Cheng smiled.

"In the school battle that day, Xin Jian's own performance was still remarkable, but unfortunately, the people he led were too incompetent, and had no experience in fighting the enemy at all. People like Xin Jian, If it can be used in the right place, then he will be another warrior who can make the Liao people tremble with fear. How can I let him be humiliated for nothing? I want to find him, Grandpa Xu, and I will bother you with me. go there."

"I'm going too!" Xiao Cheng stood up.

The eldest brother is about to accept the younger brother, so I just followed to see how the eldest brother was shocked, and the younger brother came back.

If a character like Xin Jian can really be subdued, for the eldest brother, it will be more powerful than a tiger.
