Gu Zhilun was in a great mood these days and received a letter from Lu Zheng, asking him to immediately purchase tea, silk, and porcelain from Jiangnan to go north with fine salt.

What does this mean? This means that Lu Zheng is confident that he will open the channel to the northwest and north. Once this channel is opened, it means that white silver will enter his pocket like flowing water.

It has been almost a year since Gu Zhilun has spent more than 300,000 taels of silver in the northwest. In addition to opening a bookstore that loses money, the other money has been laid.

As a businessman, white silver flowed out of his pocket like flowing water, and he felt really distressed. But what he guaranteed was a belief that no matter what he had in his life, he had to follow Ding Lu Zheng.

If he hadn't known Lu Zheng, he would have been just a small bookseller in Yangzhou. Now, he is the first-class boss in Jiangnan. As a branch of the Gu family, he could almost compete with the Gu family's original master. This is thanks to Lu Zheng.

When doing business to a certain extent, silver becomes a number, and things other than silver cannot be obtained by Gu Zhilun’s own ability. Gu Zhilun can only follow Lu Zheng’s leader.

Looking at the news sent from Jiangnan, Gu Zhilun was so happy that these tea, silk, porcelain and salt were purchased in Jiangnan for only tens of thousands of taels of silver. It was transported from Jiangnan to the northwest, and at most worth 100,000 taels of silver.

But once you cross the Kaner River and arrive at the Hulun Prairie, these things immediately turned into gold lumps, and 100,000 taels of silver became 500,000 taels or even one million taels.

The cow and sheep fur, goat milk and milk on the Hulun Prairie are piled up like mountains, and the price is low there. As long as you walk south across the Kaner River, you will immediately have several times the profit. If you can transport it to the south of the Yangtze River, a piece of fox skin scarf will cost hundreds of taels of silver. Such fox skin only needs two kilograms of salt to exchange for it on the Hulun Prairie.

With a stir, Gu Zhilun came to Lu Zheng's mansion in a carriage. When the guards led him to the backyard, Lu Zheng was talking to the boy.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, and Lu Zheng waved and said, "Uncle Gu, you are not an outsider. Come on, come on, let's take a look at the place of Yumuwan!"

When Gu Zhilun approached, he found that Lu Zheng had actually laid a finished map of Longyou on the ground. Looking at this picture, it was drawn extremely finely, with the place names, mountain names and water names on it marked extremely accurately.

Looking at this picture, it was like seeing real mountains and waters, as if the entire northwest area was right in front of you. Gu Zhilun sighed with a glance, thinking that Mr. Lu’s magical powers were indeed vast, and he could get such pictures. This is probably a top secret thing in the court and military!

Lu Zheng didn't care about Gu Zhilun's thoughts. He pointed and pointed on the map with his hand and said, "Yumu County is not as good as Liangzhou. The area of ​​this county is more than four times that of Shatin County, but the population is less than half of Shatin County. The people's lives are hard, and the war is endless, and the day is in danger!

Turkic cavalry crossing the Kaner River harassed Yumu County almost every year. In the past five years, Yumu County has been captured three times, and several county magistrates were killed! Hehe, so being the county magistrate of Yumu County is not a good job. What do you two think?"

The boy looked very solemn and said, "Young Master, if you arrive in Yumu County, the first thing you do is to rectify your defense. Otherwise, if there is any war, I'm afraid..."

The boy said halfway, then stopped. Lu Zheng said, "It's not that there is war, but there must be war! Yumuwan has always been the place where wars are the most frequent. Attack and retreat are all important places. At present, Song San is in such a situation, internal and external troubles. His opponent has no choice but to take him from the front. He may not be able to do something that exceeds the norm. Once that happens, Yumu is a bad place!"

Lu Zheng sighed and said quietly: "The most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart..."

Lu Zheng thought of his past and present life. Although he had been in the army in his previous life, he had been in the fire brigade. The military was a shortcoming, especially in the military in the era of cold weapons, he was even weaker.

In addition, he is a scholar in this life. He knows martial arts and cannot think about killing enemies on the battlefield. However, everything is forced. If Lu Zheng wants to get rid of Yumu, he has to get involved in military affairs and even his physical fitness must be improved quickly.

Lu Zheng didn't want to go to Yumu to take office by himself, just like some of the previous Yumu County Magistrates, who had gone but never returned.

Lu Zheng now has more than a dozen masters on hand. The boy is a top master, but facing the cavalry rolling on the battlefield, no matter how high a master is, he is not easy to use, so to be honest, he is a little nervous.

Gu Zhilun said, "Brother Zheng, I have something I can't speak up! As far as I know, the third son of Song was excluded in the Song family, and it has been rumored in Liangzhou that General Song intended to deprive him of his military power.

This time, because of your help, he got through the difficulties. But his brothers will definitely be even more afraid of him. Although Mr. Song is extremely brave, as the saying goes: "A gun is easy to avoid hidden arrows and cannot be prevented. If there is an accident, be careful to harm the fish in the pond..."

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Gu is right! I have neglected this. My safety is very important, and Song San may not be safe either. Once I arrive in Yumu County, he and I will be the grasshopper tied to the same rope. They will prosper and lose both! In this way, I may not be able to make a profit. It's a pity that I regret it a little too late now, too late!"

Lu Zheng suddenly waved his hand, made a clear mind, and said, "If you want to die, you will never die for thousands of years! Isn't it just a war? The world is not peaceful, how can you ever be safe?"

When Lu Zheng said this, Gu Zhilun and the boy looked at each other, with strange expressions on their faces. Lu Zheng is the number one talent in Jiangnan. He is a handsome and elegant talent, and he suddenly changes his style. He swears in his mouth, waves his big hand, and shows a ruthless and resolute look on his face. This scholar is really cruel when he becomes cruel!

"Uncle Gu, you are here! Now, from Liangzhou to Kaner River, I have opened up all the key points for the time being! Duan Runan and Wang Wenyuan of Liangzhou Prefecture should not take action rashly. Taking this opportunity, we will work hard to cross the Kaner River and open this cut-off business road. Therefore, your staff will go to Yumu with me..." Lu Zheng said.

Gu Zhilun said, "Oh, brother, don't worry, you are not afraid of death. We are afraid of death when we are in danger. I have arranged everything. The goods from Jiangnan are transported to the suburbs of Beijing through the canal. They have already been on the snowmobile and come here. It will take about ten days to arrive!

I immediately took people to Hulun in person. As long as I contacted there, I could ship the freight immediately..."

...

The weather became colder and the snow became heavier the more you went north, and the carriage turned into a sled cart. Lu Zheng and his group went to work in the north for a long time.

In the cold wind, the shadow was wrapped in a thick fur, revealing only a small face covered with tears. Lu Zheng gently hugged her and said, "Remember to take good care of the Liangzhou home. When spring is coming and warm, I will have someone come to pick you up."

Nie Xiaonu stood behind Lu Zheng, looking very reluctant, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister Ying'er, don't worry, I can take good care of the young master! Elm is a dangerous place, and the young master has not yet established a firm foothold in the past, so he is worried..."

When Nie Xiaonu spoke, his tone was choked and it was difficult to express it. She and Ying'er met each other in Jiangnan. From Jiangnan to the capital, from Beijing to the northwest, the two followed Lu Zheng together, spending time together, and having a deep relationship.

Elm is a dangerous place. Nie Xiaonu took advantage of his outstanding martial arts. Following Lu Zheng can not only serve him, but also help Lu Zheng with her at critical moments. Ying'er can only stay in Liangzhou and cannot take risks for the time being.

The hero was short of breath and the love between children was long. Lu Zheng was ruthless and raised his hand. The boy who was driving the car swung the whip in his hand. The horse pulling the car ran forward in the snow. The convoy quickly disappeared into the vast snow.

This season is the most difficult thing, mainly because the weather is too cold and dripping water turns into ice, and the Kaner River is frozen again. The northern Turkic rangers and even hungry herdsmen just need to wrap brown on the horse's hooves to easily cross the border.

The cavalry lost the barrier of natural danger, came and went freely, and acted like the wind, so the pressure on border defense was very high in winter. General Song Naifeng had never returned to Beijing for the New Year in so many years, and the Northwest Army camp was located in the Hongkao Gobi of Kanerhe.

The general's tent is naturally unusual. The tent is not only tall, but also has luxurious facilities like a palace. The huge charcoal basin is fierce, and the temperature in the house is like spring.

Song Naifeng was wearing a brocade robe. Seeing that he was not tall, he sat cross-legged behind several tables, holding a book in his hand, looking like a teacher from a private school or a very elegant staff member.

Looking at his side, there were soldiers like a forest, all of whom were heroic, with many counselors, and everyone was extraordinary. Everyone held their breath, and everyone's attention was on Song Naifeng.

"All are here?" Song Naifeng's voice was deep.

"See General!" Everyone saluted, and the sound in the tent was like a rainbow and the momentum was extremely loud.

Song Naifeng put the book in his hand in front, raised his head and looked like a knife, sweeping across everyone's face. The atmosphere in the whole room became even more tense, almost a needle could be heard.

"Why didn't the third brother come?" Song Naifeng said.

"Report to the general, the third general fought fiercely with Mrs. Hekuo a few days ago, and killed Mrs. Hekuo and went straight to the depths of the Hulan grassland. The third general accidentally injured his horse because he chased him too quickly. After he came back, he was also infected with a cold and was sick in bed. It was really inconvenient to walk, so he sent the last general to take the general order!" A heroic and sassy general came out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and said in a humble and arrogant manner.
