The Prime Minister has something to do

Did Mr. Jiang think that this was a trip to the mountains and rivers, only caring about the wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon? "He Houhan paused for a moment, but he didn't say the word love in the end.

Jiang Sheng said shamelessly: "The prime minister taught me that I was reckless." But the tone was joyful, and there was no sign of repentance and acknowledgment of mistakes.

He Houhan felt a punch on the cotton, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable, so he turned around and urged the horse to go fast, trying to stay away from Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng didn't feel annoyed, he narrowed his peach eyes and followed closely.

It was less than a hundred miles away from Jingliumen, and when he was two towns away, Jiang Sheng received a letter from his family—not so much a letter from home, but a reply.

When Jiang Sheng showed it to He Houhan, He Houhan finally felt that he had gained some confidence.

He Houhan breathed a sigh of relief, showing the first smile from the bottom of his heart in half a month.When he smiled, he lost his vigilant and decisive temperament, and looked like a gentle scholar. Who would have thought that this was the current prime minister?

Jiang Sheng blinked, and smiled when he came back to his senses: "Is the prime minister relaxed now?"

He Houhan nodded and said: "It all depends on Mr. Jiang's efforts. On behalf of the emperor, I would like to thank Jingliumen for their help."

Jiang Sheng stretched out a hand to wrap He Houhan's shoulders, and said very gratifiedly: "The Prime Minister is very polite, it's really my honor to be able to solve the problems for the Prime Minister."

He Houhan backed away without a trace, straightened his sleeves, and replied: "Young Master Jiang understands righteousness so deeply, and I am very moved. But this is not the time to relax. I think that we should go all out to eradicate Qiqiao teaches."

Jiang Sheng pulled He Houhan's hand approvingly, and said, "What the prime minister said is, I'm going to prepare the horse here."

He Houhan didn't dodge this time, not because he softened his attitude, but because Jiang Sheng pulled too tightly and he couldn't break free.He can use force to force Jiang Sheng to let go, but now he wants to avoid conflict with Jiang Sheng, not only for the sake of the overall situation, but also because of the content of the letter from home just now.

What did that letter say?

There is no earth-shattering secret, but it is a real good progress.

Since the beginning of March when he and Jiang Sheng left Liangu Mountains and Rivers and headed north along the official road of Tongzhou and Yizhou to Jingliumen of Wanzhou, Jiang Sheng began to deliver letters from home with carrier pigeons.

It was only then that He Houhan found out that this first son with peerless martial arts was actually a shrewd businessman. I didn't expect Jiang Sheng's business to be so big, but this also proved that Jiang Sheng told a lot of truth when he first met him.

Jiang Sheng's business route goes south from the two prefectures of Shisu in the northwest border, passing through the major states in the Central Plains along the way, including Lizhou, Jingcheng, Wanzhou, Dongzhou, and Yizhou, and finally reaches Tongzhou. It takes at least two months.And throughout this route, Jiang Sheng has set up shop bases in every major town in each state, which is why he can get supplies such as pigeons and fast horses anytime and anywhere.What's more, Jiang Sheng's business is not buying and selling in the traditional sense. Rather than saying that he has opened a large number of shops, it is better to say that he has built a business system, which is more like a chamber of commerce model.Individual merchants can join this system that runs through the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains and the Northwest, and conduct transactions freely.Of course, this buying and selling process is subject to the supervision and regulation of the chamber of commerce, and finally the chamber of commerce has to collect profits from it.

However, for individual merchants, this is a safe, fair, and much easier way to trade.

With the assistance and background of this system, all businessmen who join this business system will be accompanied by disciples of the Jingliu Sect when they travel long distances. Although Jiang Sheng himself did not expose himself, the person involved can tell this by looking at this posture. The Chamber of Commerce must be related to the most prestigious Jingliu family in the martial arts, and those who entered the Chamber of Commerce have never been attacked by bandits and robbers. This reputation is the capital that can only be accumulated through word of mouth for several years.

Fairness is strictly implemented in the chamber of commerce system, and there is no phenomenon of individual monopoly or bullying the small by the big, which reduces a large number of commercial conflicts and frictions and improves the efficiency of business.

Easy to do business in the Chamber of Commerce is extensive and breakthrough. This is the only formal large-scale commercial activity in the Shun Dynasty today that runs through the south and northwest of the Shun Dynasty. This includes a large number of business opportunities, so that every businessman can share a cup of soup.

The name of this chamber of commerce is well-known to every household. It was named after the great river that flowed through the entire Shun Dynasty: Weihe Chamber of Commerce.

When He Houhan learned that Jiang Sheng was the mastermind behind the well-known chamber of commerce, his mood was mixed with joy and sorrow, extremely complicated.Hi, Jiang Sheng's background gave them a hidden power to eradicate the Qiqiao Sect. Worry, this is a little hard to explain, but He Houhan's heart was indeed twisted for a while.

Closer to home, it was Jiang Sheng's unknown identity that allowed them to rush to Jingliumen in Wanzhou, and at the same time use the means of communication from the chambers of commerce in various towns to send letters in the name of the master of Jingliumen to convene all the masters of all martial arts sects to gather together Wanzhou Lingpan Town discussed major issues together.And the reply letter from Jingliu Sect contained some good news. The three major sects of martial arts, Yushan, Yutong, and Xiaoqiuxian, had already arrived with more than a hundred disciples led by the head of the three major sects of the martial arts. Two of them have already arrived. In addition, six young masters who are ranked on the Jianghu list have also arrived one after another. If Jiang Sheng is counted, there are seven.In addition, there are many small but powerful sects, which naturally include people who had good acquaintances with the exterminated Hanjianmen and the Liu family.How could this kind of battle not make He Houhan happy?

So many martial arts masters and seniors gathered together in just half a month.This doesn't even count the aristocratic families and sects living in relatively remote areas. What will it look like when everyone is here?

How can Jiang Sheng, He De, have such appealing power?

What is undeniable is that Jingliumen is indeed well-known, has a high status, and has a lot of capital, but what is more important is the influence of the principal. Jingliumen has produced heroes from generation to generation. , when he was young, he was also a hero who was well-known all over the world. Jiang Sheng of this generation is also extremely outstanding, and he even said that the blue is better than the blue.

Just after they left Liangu Mountain, Jiang Sheng began to send letters through the strongholds of various states and towns, which outlined the truth of the two major massacres in Wulin last year, adding fuel and vinegar to arouse the old enemies of Qiqiaojiao and various families of Wulin 30 years ago, Jingliumen The prestige of the martial arts and the public outrage of the martial arts people successfully gathered the power of the whole martial arts together in the shortest time.

For the first time, He Houhan deeply realized the power of Jianghu.It's strong, united and disciplined.This greatly changed the impression left by him in the few experiences he had in contact with people from the Jianghu during his youth.

what's wrong with the prime minister

Wanzhou.

Lingpan Town.

He Houhan heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on the mottled stone slabs, and sighed quietly: "It is also the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the capital is prosperous in the world, but Wanzhou has such an ancient charm."

Jiang Sheng immediately continued: "It's not that all towns and cities in Wanzhou are like spiritual pans, it's just that my Jingliu Gate has been located here for hundreds of years, so there hasn't been much change."

He Houhan suddenly realized: "So that's the case. The truth is, I only saw the local snake draw a boundary to prevent traders from stationing. Today, I realized that this truth does not distinguish between high and low, and it is a universal truth." Very natural, without a trace of derogatory irony.

Surprisingly, the victim who was attacked actually smiled even more, and the sweetness in his eyes was so strong that it could drown people.

It is said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. This is really the last word.

Two days ago, these two people were still calm on the surface, but the waves were turbulent inside.Who knows that this has finally reached its destination, why did it suddenly come to light?

This goes back half a month ago.

On the day He Houhan and Jiang Sheng set off for Wanzhou, Chong Yuan sent the spies who came to report to check the details of Jingliumen Han Xiaotang.

This investigation was a good one, and only then did Chongyuan realize that the master of Hanxiao Hall was actually in charge of all the internal affairs of the Jingliu Sect!Not only that, why did the master of the Hanxiao hall change whenever the sect master changed?It's just because all previous hall masters were appointed by the sect master's family members!In other words, it's a woman's seat.Although Jingliumen had several male hall masters in history, they were all due to special circumstances, and there was absolutely no such thing as Jiang Sheng who did whatever he wanted.Even though the master of Hanxiaotang has a very high status in Jingliumen, and is often well-known in Jianghu, but all in all, it is really inappropriate to ask Prime Minister Yichao to take this position.

Chongyuan hated this arrangement very much in his heart, but he had already agreed to Jiang Sheng, and the emperor had said so well, and it was such a situation, how could he go back on his word.But from another point of view, this hall master is more suitable than those positions with heavy responsibilities, and it is more binding on the cooperation between the two parties.In fact, how could a century-old clan like the Jingliumen have a nominal position?The position of the hall master, regardless of those rules and customs, from the perspective of the overall situation, it can even be said to be a very beneficial arrangement for him, which is very clear in Chong Yuan's heart.

The emperor thought about it carefully, and only delivered the secret report to the secret agent as it was, and ordered him to deliver the secret report to He Houhan.However, it took a few days to thoroughly investigate Hanxiaotang of the Jingliumen, and the news had to be passed on from the secret agent at the beginning of Qing.Even if the pigeons donated by the royal family go into battle quickly, it will take several days to go back and forth. What's more, Jiang Shengbei's horses are not easy to catch up so quickly.So when the spies rushed to catch up with He Houhan, He Houhan and the others were nowhere near the Lingpan in Wanzhou.
