Chapter 291
Jiang Jinshi went down the bell tower and prepared to call the military generals to ask who was willing to go to Jiangnan with him.
After receiving the news, Zhang Honghong arrived first. "Take me, Big Brother. I was left to guard the house last time we fought the Xiongnu. It's not too much to count me in this time, right!"
Jiang Jinshi just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but another voice came from behind Zhang Honghong. "You are a woman after all, it's not convenient to be with Big Brother, let me go!"
Nie Fengyun jumped out with a grin. He had never left Beijiang in his life! He had only heard the names of Jiangnan and other places from the storytellers in the teahouse, but had never seen them with his own eyes!
Zhang Honghong was dissatisfied with Nie Fengyun's words and responded with an unhappy face. "Nie Thousand-Household, I haven't offended you, have I? We are all fighting for the world with Big Brother, how can there be a distinction between men and women?"
Nie Fengyun hadn't spoken yet when a round of applause came from the door. "That's true, Zhang Thousand-Household is also extremely brave!"
The person who came was Luo Feng, and his tone changed. "However, I have to be the one to go to Jiangnan with Big Brother. I am meticulous and handle things properly!"
"You can't! Isn't Big Brother asking you to train the cavalry? I'm not happy." Nie Fengyun was unhappy. Although Luo Feng's official position was higher than his, he still had to fight for this matter.
Jiang Ze walked in and saw everyone arguing endlessly, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade. "Everyone, stop arguing. In my opinion, I should go! You all don't go, so as not to hurt the harmony!"
"Get lost!"
"You're the one arguing the fiercest!"
Xiexiezi arrived, but didn't participate, and stood directly beside Jiang Jinshi. "Big Brother, I thought about it on the way here. We can disguise ourselves as a merchant caravan. On one hand, we can look for suitable candidates along the way, and on the other hand, we can bring out the goods of our Xinyue Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps we can open up a new trade route!"
Jiang Jinshi thought carefully about Xiexiezi's suggestion. Now the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce's sales to the south still had to go through Shopkeeper Yan. For the time being, the cooperation between the two sides was still very pleasant.
However, being able to have one more trade route meant earning one more share of money. This idea was indeed good.
"Stop arguing, Old Bai is stealing the house!"
"Shameless, just like playing these tricks, all military generals come to fight one-on-one!"
"You think I'm afraid of you!" Xiexiezi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to join.
Huang Yan arrived late, and regardless of how everyone was arguing, he roared first. "I! Want! To! Go!"
"You! Fight me! The winner goes with Big Brother!" Zhang Honghong knew that her eloquence was not as good as theirs, so she simply used her ultimate move.
"Good!" Nie Fengyun agreed first.
"Fight! Let's set the rules first!" Jiang Ze rubbed his hands.
Han Xiao and Yan Wu arrived last and broke into a cold sweat when they saw this scene.
Han Xiao indeed wanted to go very much. He had been guarding the border for many years, and now that he had finally defeated the Xiongnu, he naturally wanted to go out and walk around.
Yan Wu didn't expect Jiang Jinshi to notify him, and while overjoyed, he was also worried that he wouldn't be able to compete with others.
He knew very well that the martial arts of the people present were all first-class, and he should be ranked at the bottom.
Luo Feng jumped to the center of the field first. "Old rules, one-on-one!"
"I'll come!" Xiexiezi was not afraid, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
The inexplicable fight unfolded like this. Jiang Jinshi didn't know why things suddenly developed like this, so he could only speak to stop it.
"Brothers, don't be in a hurry, listen to me for two words!"
Jiang Jinshi looked at Luo Feng first. "Luo Feng, your focus is still on the cavalry. Don't go this time, there will be opportunities later."
"Yes! Big Brother!" Luo Feng scratched his head embarrassedly.
Then Jiang Jinshi looked at Xiexiezi. "Old Xie has good ideas. Since this idea was proposed by you, then go with me!"
Xiexiezi straightened his back. "Got it!"
"Zhang Honghong won't go this time, but I promise you, you will be the vanguard next time there is a war!"
"Big Brother, it's a deal!"
Of course, Jiang Jinshi didn't say that there would be no war in the short term, at least not this year. Beijiang was in a development stage, so it was best to stabilize first.
"Jiang Ze, don't go either. This large place in Beijiang cannot be chaotic. At least leave someone who can hold the scene! You and Luo Feng cooperate, guard Beijiang well!"
"Understood!"
"Yan Wu is knowledgeable, follow along!"
Yan Wu didn't expect he would have a chance, and happily stood straight. "Understood, Commander!"
"Han Xiao, come along too. You have been at the border for many years, take advantage of the lack of war to go out and move around!"
"Han Xiao obeys!"
"Nie Fengyun, stay behind! There will be many opportunities in the future!"
"Listen to Big Brother's arrangement!"
Huang Yan watched everyone almost finished counting, but it was not his turn.
Jiang Jinshi coughed. "That's it, we'll set off in three days!"
Huang Yan widened his eyes and couldn't help but stand out and point to himself to ask, "Big Brother! Me, and me!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Jiang Jinshi was also happy. "I didn't forget, it's fine if they don't go, but you must go!"
"Really? Big Brother, don't tease me!" Huang Yan opened his bright eyes, full of expectation.
"Really! You must go!"
Jiang Jinshi silently added in his heart, you are the one who fused with the soul of Huang Chao. Who is Huang Chao?
That is the nightmare of the five surnames and seven families, the terminator of the noble families, the living Yama who named the genealogy. To prevent future confrontation, you must go and get familiar with it first!
Huang Yan didn't expect Big Brother to have such high expectations for him. "Big Brother! I guarantee I won't hold you back!"
"Hahaha!"
At night, Jiang Jinshi and Li Xinyue were together. Li Xinyue said worriedly: "Although Jiangnan is prosperous, all parties are intertwined. If you go in person, the risk is too great."
"It doesn't matter!" Jiang Jinshi shook his head. "On the surface, I am the Lord of Beijiang, but in the eyes of those people, I am ultimately not presentable, and they won't take me to heart."
To be precise, the entire Beijiang is not presentable in the eyes of those in high positions. It is cold, barren, and has no profit to be made. Claiming to be king in such a place has no threat.
Jiang Jinshi continued: "Beijiang lacks people to govern. I am going to open up trade routes, and I need to introduce talent. These people are the foundation of Beijiang in the future."
Li Xinyue hesitated: "Seeking talent in the south is a good thing, but the literati in Jiangnan are arrogant and may not be willing to come to this cold place in Beijiang."
"Arrogance is because there is capital for arrogance." Jiang Jinshi said lightly. "But arrogance cannot be eaten as a meal. There are many literati in Jiangnan, but the road to the imperial examination is narrow, and only one or two out of ten can pass. The rest are either trapped in the study or living under someone else's roof. Beijiang is cold, but there is a place to show one's talents. As long as it is true talent and learning, in my Beijiang, it will definitely not be buried."
Li Xinyue nodded. "Since you have already thought about it, then I won't stop you, just be careful in everything!"
