Chapter 463 The Wonderful Journey to Kaifeng City ([-])

Let Du Baojun, now there is a little undecided reason.

Not only in the banquet just now, facing the astonishing talent of the noble concubine and husband-in-law, he, a well-known ex-talent in Huzhou area, suffered a bit of a blow.

So much so that now, in his arms, they are his two poems of the highest level, and he has never had the nerve to show them off.

The more important reason was that he saw that he couldn't show off at the banquet.

I started to think about some details that I had overlooked since I arrived in Kaifeng City.

For example: It stands to reason that the new imperial court of Queen Maode in Kaifeng City is facing a huge threat that the Jin people may strike again after autumn.

It is said that more than a month ago, a new army of 5 people was just formed.

Even if Du Baojun doesn't know what kind of new law this so-called new army is.

But what he knew was that during the last time the Jinmen invaded the bandits, the original armor and ordnance in Kaifeng City, as well as some of the more skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, were all robbed by the Jinmen.

In this way, all the weapons and armor needed by such a new army basically have to be rebuilt.

That involves the need for a large amount of iron materials to create a sufficient number of weapons and armor; in terms of iron materials, it should be quite scarce.

Results?Among the dozens of materials purchased by the Department of Commerce at high prices, there is no iron material at all.

On the contrary, at the daytime auction, the noble concubine and concubine said that as long as the weight of each regional franchisee does not exceed 20 catties each time, there will be no problem.

There is such a surplus of Bailian Steel, which can be made into a good soldier armor, that it can be sold at will?

Immediately, Du Baojun clearly realized one thing:
The new imperial court representing Empress Maude is not as weak as rumored by the outside world. On the contrary, its strength far exceeds everyone's imagination.

As a qualified businessman, he knows that the highest level of their profession is not some wealthy country.

It's just like Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of the Qin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, who invested in an eternal emperor and gained supreme power.

Compared with the Du family, although they don't have Lu Buwei's family background and arrogance.

But if you make a bet and take the initiative to take refuge in this most difficult time of the new court of the Great Song Dynasty, the rewards you can get in the future will also be astonishing.

It's just that this matter is so important that Du Baojun couldn't make up his mind whether to press it or not. Naturally, he didn't have much thought about having another banquet with other businessmen.

Then at such a moment, the sudden scene finally gave Du Baojun an idea.

Because when he was hesitant, another sentence suddenly came from his ear: "Look, isn't that the legendary Hu Yitong and Hu Shumishi?"

After hearing the words, Du Baojun immediately opened his eyes wide, and looked at this legendary and controversial figure.

I saw that in the middle of the night, there was a rhythmic sound of hooves on the street where there were few people.

A young man wearing a purple official gown that only officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court are qualified to wear, with a face like a crown jade and excellent demeanor, appeared on the street in front of them.

Shi Shiran passed by them and disappeared.

Such a handsome young man was riding on a big green mule in a somewhat nondescript way.

What seems even more disobedient is that, as a member of the imperial court, this person doesn't even have a guard or entourage around him; he can be called a gentleman, and it's okay to wear an accessory around his waist, but he has a An ugly butcher's knife.

Now in the huge city of Kaifeng, or in the entire Song Dynasty.

The person who can have such a strange dress, except for the rumored good guy from the secondary school, Cao Cao, who relied on the support of a group of party members to coerce the emperor to make the princes live.

Who else could be besides Hu Biao and Hu Yitong, the deputy prime minister of the dynasty and the Privy Council envoy of the Privy Council?
Perhaps it was because some people in the crowd accidentally drank too much because they drank the strong wine called 'burning knife' in the previous banquet.

Under Jiu Zhuang's cowardice, a muffled voice soon reached Du Baojun's ears:
"Hu Yitong's son is really a disgrace to our Great Song Dynasty. A first-rank official in the imperial court is dressed like a person who butchers pigs and sheep. It really disgraces my Great Song Dynasty."

In the blink of an eye, another retorting voice sounded:

"Hugh is talking nonsense, not to mention how diligent he is in state affairs now that he looks like he's done with his business.

Hu Xianggong said that because war horses are scarce in the city now, he will not fight on the battlefield recently anyway, so it is better to save a war horse and put it in a place where it is more needed.

There is a reason for the butcher's knife on the old man's waist.

It is said that it was originally owned by a righteous man in the city called Chen Ergou, but unfortunately he failed to kill a golden man, and was seriously injured and dying in the process of supporting Cooking Bread Mountain. This is his biggest regret before his death.

In the end, he happened to meet Hu Shu's secret envoy, and Xianggong immediately swore that he would kill at least ten golden soldiers with this butcher's knife.

From that day on, this pig-killing knife has become Hu Xianggong's personal possession. Even today, there are no less than a hundred golden men who have died under this pig-killing knife.

Hu Shumi envoy still brought it with him all the time to spur himself. "

Under such an explanation, everyone was amazed.

Only the person who muttered first, still yelled in disbelief: "Even so, this is just a way for this thief, Hu Yitong, to buy people's hearts."

The problem is, regardless of whether Hu Biao's actions are to buy people's hearts or not, he has been able to make such a move, and he has persisted for so long.

It is enough for Du Baojun to make a sufficient decision:
He didn't go back to Huzhou anymore, so he hurriedly wrote a letter of divorce to explain the matter of the regional franchise right in detail, and asked his confidant to return immediately, and handed it over to the head of their Du family, that is, his father.

Presumably with his father's eyes, he naturally knows what to do next.

As for him himself, there are important matters.

That is to stay in Kaifeng City, continue to walk around and see more; finally decided, whether their Du family should take a chance and completely surrender to the new court of the Great Song Dynasty.

******
After making up his mind, Du Baojun politely declined other people's proposal to go to Washe to have fun later, and hurriedly walked towards the inn where he lived.

After I finished writing the letter, I planned to leave the city early tomorrow morning, and let my confidant family member rush back to Huzhou immediately.

On the way back, because he didn't eat anything during the banquet, he even ate a large bowl of wontons to satisfy his hunger when he encountered a burden of wontons.

After that, I began to write vigorously under the lamp oil.

It's just that in such a process, he didn't notice something related at all.

For example, amidst all his praises, the wonton burden peddler who is not tall but has excellent craftsmanship is none other than Hou San's sworn brother Liu Dalang.

When Hou San signed up for the new army that day, Liu Dalang fell in love with Yu Hanfeng.

It's not that Yu Hanfeng has any strange hobbies, all his girlfriends in the modern plane have successfully proposed; it's just that in his opinion, Liu Dalang is a talent.

Because who would have thought that such a three-inch peddler was actually a spy.

Isn't this the new intelligence department 'Jin Yiwei' of Da Song's new internal intelligence department that he has tossed out, an excellent target for absorption?
So after more than a month of training, today happened to be the first show of Liu Dalang and others; let's inquire about the degree of recognition of the new imperial court by the franchisees in these regions.

After all, what they want is to develop a group of supporters, not some white-eyed wolves.

So just like the unlucky guy who crazily complained about Hu Biao just now, I am afraid that there will be no good end in the future.

In addition, since there is an internal intelligence department, Jin Yiwei, there are naturally related external departments, and that is the 'East Factory' that the singer is in charge of.

And the East Factory already exists, and the propaganda department 'West Factory' that Fatty Huang is in charge of, it's normal for such a location to appear.

Of course, the above names such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang are just based on the bad taste of these guys.

They have long known about the great harm of such a 'special government' to the later generations of Ming Dynasty, and they are still quite restrained in many aspects.

For example, Fatty Huang's Xichang is mainly the editors and publishers of the "Da Song Times".

In addition, a group of old men and old ladies in Kaifeng City used the vast ocean-like monitoring methods of the people to prevent the infiltration of opponents.

There are also some subtle and quite subtle propaganda.

It sounds awesome, but it's actually a bit shabby.

At the same time, in a small building in Washe, the businessmen who had obtained the franchise also started another banquet.

But they didn't know that not far away, in a yard behind Washer, the talented concubine and husband-in-law in their minds were teaching the group of 'swallows' under her:
"How many times have I told you that it's okay to laugh before saying anything, but don't laugh so wildly.

And don't immediately pounce on the target after seeing the target, wishing to clean up all the clothes on your body, you have to hold it to know if you don't know.

It must be more like the rich lady than others.

Only by carrying it and satisfying the appetite of these old SPs can you take out everything you want from their mouths and pockets.

alright!Let's start the makeup class now, everyone take out the makeup box~"

In short, within a short period of time, Kaifeng City has been quietly covered by a big net woven by Yu Hanfeng, singer, Huang Yizhi, and the imperial concubine.

And after such a big net continues to evolve, it will soon be released, and the area covered will become wider and wider...
