054 Multi-party arrangement

"It will be burned if Xiangjiazhuang burns it. My King Dragon is not that shallow, and money is just something outside of your body. If I ask me to do it with you, in addition to the above conditions, I have an additional requirement..."

"My nephew, Xiang Ying is already hopeless because of your involvement. The road to imperial examinations has been completely blocked. So I want you to accept him as your disciple. Don't fool me with foreign teachers and students. What I want is the master-apprentice ceremony and the close disciple who entered your wall. Do you agree..."

Before Xiao Letian could speak, Xiao Hexin was the first to go crazy, "You dream..." with a loud roar, and rushed out like a black panther. The light of the knife flashed across the sword and rushed straight to Xiang Shaolong's neck.

Behind Xiao Hexin, two figures rushed over almost at the same time, one was Wang Huaiyuan and the other was Sima Yun.

Since Xiao Letian started writing books on Taibaiding, he said that these three personal guards have regarded themselves as disciples. When they have no tasks on weekdays, the three of them always sit together to study "The Journey to the West" and take time to ask Xiao Letian for advice. In just a few months, the knowledge of Western learning among the three of them has been counted in the Qing Dynasty.

Today, Xiang Shaolong actually dared to steal the title of the inner disciples. He is unbearable, even if he is not your opponent, he will fight you.

Xiao Letian could not understand the relationship between master and apprentice in ancient times. In ancient laws, the relationship between master and apprentice was almost equal to the relationship between father and son. Even apprentices could inherit the master's property in the law, and he was a very important legal heir who was ranked outside of children.

However, this kind of inheritance is not just property, but more of reputation. Xiao Letian can already predict the identity of the great master of Western Studies. So who is his great disciple? So what is the ranking? This is all a problem, and this is related to the spread of Western Studies in the Qing Dynasty in the future.

A saint is not something that ordinary people can be, but there is still hope to be a sub-saint. Even if you don’t have the fate of a sub-saint, becoming one of the 72 sages is enough to leave a name in history.

Xiang Shaolong is too arrogant. He can't even pay for money. He is even greedy for fame? For Xiao Hexin and the others, the shame of being tied up just now is far inferior to that of someone who is tied up by Xiang Shaolong's rudeness.

"What are you doing..." Before Xiao Letian finished speaking, the scabbard in his hand suddenly disappeared with a whizzing sound, and four black shadows appeared on the ground. No one could see how to fight.

In less than half a minute, three figures flew out upside down and hit the river beach. Xiang Shaolong had no effort to fight against three, and instantly gained the upper hand.

"What do you want to do? Crazy! Stop it and sit down..." Xiao Letian was almost irritated. Why did he do it well? It's okay to do it. He lost three or one against one, which is really embarrassing. But this also reflects from the side that Xiang Shaolong's net worth is definitely high enough, and it is definitely a treasure to be able to pull it over.

"Xiao Hexin, what's wrong with you three? Are you sucking the horns?..." Xiao Le wanted to whip them in the weather. At this time, Xiang Shaolong held the steel knife he had just seized in his hand and put it on the ground with a smile and said, "Maybe it's because what I just said is not very rigorous. My nephew wants to enter Mr. Xiao's door wall, but he won't steal the boss' status. We people in the martial arts world still pay attention to seniority..."

Xiao Letian only understood this. It turned out that these people had equated their Western studies with exoteric studies. They didn’t understand what an open university was, and they didn’t understand what the tutor system was. However, Xiao Letian didn’t have time to clean their brains now. On the contrary, there were some sect ideas, which were still beneficial for Xiao Letian to control his subordinates.

"All up, I will stand up on the side... I will have tens of thousands of disciples in the future. What can you do with such a little bit of care in the future? Don't embarrass me..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Letian bowed to Xiang Shaolong with his fists and said, "From now on, I will ask Master Long..."

Xiang Shaolong didn't say anything, but just straightened his clothes and fought a thousand times, half kneeling in front of Xiao Letian. Xiang Shaolong, a great hero from the north, officially joined Xiao Letian's camp.

All the dark clouds of the day dispersed. After a group of people were resting by the stream, the large army escorted Yin Liang to continue to push forward to Taibai. Xiang Shaolong, Xiao Hexin and four others surrounded Xiao Letian and roasted fish next to the fire.

The heroes of the world are all unfamiliar with each other. After a brief conversation, Master Long sighed at the ink in Xiao Hexin and others, and Xiao Hexin and others admire Master Long's good skills. After two sips of wine, they became as familiar as brothers.

After a few greetings, Xiang Shaolong got back to the story. "Mr. Xiao may not know yet. Now there are at least three waves of Green Forest characters around you who are secretly peeking at you. One is the eagle-claw grandson raised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These people are all figures in the martial arts world invited by the imperial court. Although it is difficult, it is obvious that they are just spying on and do not mean to hurt you..."

"The second wave of origin is quite diverse, and it is not in line with each other. It should be the servants of some important officials in the court, family generals, etc. Occasionally, there are a few people from the martial arts world who are not top experts. I guess it should have something to do with my previous employer..."

"There is the only one left that is more difficult to deal with. It is Zeng Guoquan's Eagle, the Nanying who is as famous as me. During this period, I fought with him no less than three times, and each time it was a draw. Fortunately, the important speech information of the gentleman did not allow them to spy away..."

Xiao Letian was stunned at that time. He never expected that during the period when Xiang Shaolong disappeared, he was secretly protecting himself and helping him spy on the information.

What Xiao Letian even more unexpected is that he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, so don't underestimate the ancients. They just lack modern natural science knowledge and do not understand the direction of history. It does not mean that they are fools. These politicians who are immersed in power struggles are all red-faced and black-hearted and even killing people without blinking. Their methods of treating their political enemies are extremely vicious.

Xiao Letian secretly stroked his chest, thinking that it was a blessing, fortunate that there were such a group of heroes around him to protect him, otherwise the bones that would have been bitten by these wolves would have been left. What other time travelers are there? They still bleed when they hit the body with a steel knife, and they still die.

Xiang Shaolong brought not only information from the spies, but also brought news that Xiao Letian was amused and crying. The old Wang Hanlin who had a stroke in the bed was almost out of reach now. Those innocent and corrupt scholars actually secretly wanted to give Xiao Letian a big warning in Beijing, and they actually wanted to carry the coffin and break through the door.

"I was also shocked when I heard this news. Sir, it would be right that you wouldn't go back to Beijing. Now Wang Shizheng is a living dead man. When you return to Beijing, you will definitely be the funeral team and the big coffin. They want to use this method to completely ruin your reputation..."

With a bang, the irritable Wang Huaiyuan smashed a pebble with a punch. "Old turtle, this is too immoral. I'll go to Beijing to kill him now..." After that, he wanted to lead the horse, but Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun held him down.

"Don't cause trouble for the sir. They will be even more remarkable if you want to do it. At that time, the shit basin will still be placed on the sir's head. Please sit down..." The two of them pressed him back fiercely.

Xiao Letian shook his head, "This group of corrupt scholars has just made a fortune. It seems that I care much about this false reputation. I am just a second ghost who returned from overseas. What I want is this evil spirit... Let them make trouble, I have my own way to deal with it. In the face of absolute strength, this disgusting trick is simply trash..."

The meeting next to the fire will last until it gets dark, and everyone will ride a horse to return to Yi County. Updating Xiang Shaolong's franchise at the first time is really great news for Xiao Letian. On the one hand, Xiao Letian has obtained a top bodyguard, and the safety issues are guaranteed the greatest guarantee. On the other hand, Xiang Shaolong can win over a large number of people from the world, which is very helpful for the establishment of Xiao Letian's intelligence network.

Even Master Long gave a brilliant plan to the coin minting plan that even Xiao Letian and the old shopkeeper did not expect. "Sir, since you want to cast silver coins privately, why not collect scattered silver outside the mouth? The court's policies have always been that the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia rule the world together. The princes and nobles on the grassland do not have to pay taxes at all. They just want to pay fur and prey every year..."

"In the hands of Mongolian herdsmen outside the mouth, there is a large amount of silver that can be collected. They must rush to ask for such exquisite and beautiful silver coins as we cast... The most important thing is safety. No matter how much money you exchange for, it won't attract the attention of the court. This is much more convenient and safer than our inner city..."

A word woke up the dreamer. Xiao Letian was discussing with Liu Sanbian how to pay the taxes and silver coins in summer. What is the appropriate ratio of silver coins to silver ingots? There are too many silver coins, and the county will consume less fire. The court must have doubted it, but the proportion of silver ingots is too large, so Xiao Letian is reluctant to let it go. Update it as soon as possible

He was having a headache, but Master Long's plan was a big help. The outsider was already familiar with the business. He just sent a few second shopkeepers to open a business in Zhangjiakou and do this specifically. At that time, there were secret places on the grassland, and any silver stove could be set up to start the construction and minting coins. Xiao Letian's financial empire extended another tentacle.

When Fan Jian heard this plan, he slapped his head excitedly, "I'm confused! I'm confused... I've been walking outside for so many years, how can I forget this? I'll send someone to go there, no, no, I'm going in person..."

In the end, Xiao Letian persuaded the excited old shopkeeper to stop. Although the business outside the door is important, the foreign company in Tianjin is even more important. Fan Jian can't leave now.

Under Xiao Letian's arrangement, two second shopkeepers, plus more than ten capable friends, under the protection of more than 40 soldiers, went to Zhangjiakou with more than 100,000 silver coins of start-up funds.

Fan Jian went straight to Tianjin with the greatest manpower and material resources. I believe that with the help of Pastor Lewis' letter of introduction, it is still fine to establish a preliminary cooperative relationship with foreign merchants. We strive to start Xiao Letian's foreign company in May and June.

As for the Wing King Shi Dakai, Xiao Letian was sent out. Now Taibaiding is definitely not enough to use these more than 200 people. How many Wing King's old subordinates can gather is too critical to Xiao Letian's career.

On the official road of Taihang Mountain, Xiao Letian held the hand of the Wing King and said, "Your Majesty, remember, as long as we have no energy, we don't have too many people, we are not raising the flag to rebel, we must use it with caution if we are too violent and fanatical. In addition, don't pretend to be someone else's secret mission I entrust you to do it yourself. This matter is so important that I don't feel at ease with anyone except the prince..."

King Wing patted Xiao Letian on the shoulder, "Good brother, just wait for my good news. Now I understand. Compared to you, what we did in heaven before was simply a child's house, and failure was purely self-inflicted... Your new path, brother, I will accompany you to the end..."

After saying that, the Wing King led more than a dozen soldiers to urge his horse to run towards the south.
