Chapter 566 Good news from the west
It has been more than two months since Sun Chunming dissolved the company.
Over the past two months, Sun Chunming went to the Political Affairs Hall less and less, and he went to the academy more and more until he simply lived there. The academy gradually became equal to both civil and military. Sun Chunming took the lead and joined forces with nobles and wealthy merchants who had shares in the "company" to create the United Savings Bank, which was generally similar to the Federal Reserve in later generations. He planned to pass on the industry to him when Han Deerang returned to Beijing.
In general, he and Sun Yue have lived a pretty good life in the past two months. With a good appetite, their skin is tender, and their bones are lighter. Even their wrinkles seem to be a little less. In addition to the two men and women quarrel every now and then, their lives are full of beauty.
So Sun Chunming had decided to simply resign from his position as prime minister after Han Derang returned to Beijing.
On this day, Sun Chunming and Sun Yue were quarreling again. Sun Chunming said excitedly: "You want to irritate me to death, right? Are you going to irritate me to death? OK, I'll hang myself now, is it up to you?"
"Okay, your upper hanging rope knot is not strong. Is it good to not get to know your son and change your iron chain? Don't worry, your son will definitely bury you in a glorious way!"
"Okay, you little bastard, I've been hoping for my death for a long time, right? What kind of evil did I do in my previous life? Your mother died early. I raised you as a father and a mother, so that you can make a fortune. As a result... how did you become an ungrateful wolf?"
Not far away, Fu was holding Xiao Sunhao and playing with something called Rubik's Cube, while Murong Yan and Yang Rong were happily chatting about the new tea that came out this year, and ignored the anxious quarrel between the two men and women.
It's nothing else, I'm just used to it.
Today's quarrel is not for Sun Hao, but really a very trivial matter.
Isn’t winter coming soon? Yang Rong suggested transplanting some plum blossoms on the mountain. It will look good at that time. Both the father and son agreed very much. As a result, Sun Chunming wanted to transplant palace pink plums. Sun Yue thought it was too fragrant. He wanted to move red plums, but Sun Chunming felt it was too vulgar.
It's just a big slap.
Even Sun Hao could see that the quarrel between the two men and women had nothing to do with them, they were just quarrels for the sake of quarrel.
Actually, it’s no wonder that these two people have entered menopause physically and psychologically, and they are used to talking about the power all year round. They may also have a social color when talking to outsiders. This is really strange if they take off their disguise at home and don’t make noise.
Just as they were clamoring, they heard Cao Jun outside shouting loudly, from afar: "Good news! Good news!! Great news!!" After a while, when people ran to the mountain, they were already out of breath, but there was still a smile on their faces.
“What good news?”
"What good news?"
Cao Jun held his knees and took a few breaths to breathe evenly, and then he said excitedly: "The news from the northwest and northwest fronts is a great victory! His Highness, the King of Wei killed 60,000 enemies in one battle and captured 130,000 prisoners. The Dangxiang rebellion was put down, and the coalition forces of Tubo and Uighurs were also repelled. Jinzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, and officially became the place of our Song Dynasty. Tomorrow, we will meet to make a selection of prefects in several states!"
Sun Chunming and Sun Yue stood up at the same time: "So fast?"
Cao Jun said in confusion: "You... why are you so serious and such a big good thing? Are you unhappy? The Song Dynasty is so peaceful, Mei... Mei Ge'er is coming back, Yue Ge'er, you have been missing for many years, don't you miss him?"
Sun Yue and Sun Chunming looked at each other, but there was no joy on their faces, but on the contrary they were a little sad.
"No one in the world knows King Wei better than me. Although the Liao army no longer uses troops to the northwest, Yelu Xiuge will never give up any opportunity to weaken our Song Dynasty. He must be generous with horses, weapons, food, grass, and money. The Northwest Alliance is not weak at all. Why can he win so quickly? I dare not say that he can do it."
"Uh... it seems that it is not the credit of Mei Ge'er himself. He has two generals under him, one of which is Hu Yanzan. He heard that he led the cavalry to kill the enemy formation for more than 800 miles, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and chased them all the way to the old nest of the Shazhou Uighurs. Now he can stop the children from Guasha and the other states at night."
Sun Chunming sighed: "General Huyan's world's fierce tiger, it's not surprising that he can do this. Who is the other one?"
"The other one is Yue Ge'er's apprentice, Li Jiqian. Although this kid is only fifteen years old, he is extremely popular with the hearts of the party and the people. Most of the rebellions of Dangxiang were suppressed by this kid, and then he helped General Huyan to encircle and block the enemy's army. He was very beautiful and even captured the enemy general alive. Outside, everyone praised Yue Ge'er, you are good at teaching his disciples."
When Sun Yue heard that Li Jiqian had gotten involved, his brows frowned even tighter for a moment.
He knew that Li Jiqian became famous very early in history. He became a young player at the age of twelve and had already made a great reputation at the age of 14. However, he did not expect that he had made up with Zhao Tingmei so early. It seemed that they were working together happily in this situation.
In this time and space, Li Jiqian followed him all year round, and the Song Dynasty did provide a lot of financial aid to the Dangxiang Department, so he did not hate Song. Although Sun Yue had not taught him seriously, the so-called teaching is greater than words. Comrade Li, who is extremely smart, can learn from a very smart person just by looking at it. It was not until the last year that his uncle Li Guangrui was officially appointed as the governor of the Dingnan Army that he went back. It was probably even more terrifying than in history. I don’t know whether this was a good or a bad thing.
Sun Yue frowned and said, "The King of Wei had no military achievements before. How could he control tiger generals like Li Jiqian and Hu Yanzan who were leading the party to advance like an arm? Besides, how could the overall situation be laid so quickly with the courage of one or two brave generals?"
"I heard that he is learning from you."
"Learn from me?"
"Yes, he was in the west, using Dangxiang people and Han people to cooperate with them, and also organized a commercial company, and bound it to the soldiers in the northwest and the new army that he went with him. Based on Dangxiang's lake salt and the Silk Road as bait, he developed many other industries one after another. By the way, they also found a huge quartz mine near Xiazhou. I heard that it was necessary to build a glass factory and specialize in glass to sell it to Gaochang and even Liao Kingdom, which was much more convenient than Luoyang."
Sun Chunming and Sun Yue couldn't help but look at each other again, and smiled bitterly: "My brother has learned a lot from us father and son over the years. I'm afraid he's already 70% like my father and son. If I'm right, it's Li Yan who helps him manage the company."
"It's Brother Li, but there is another one named Kou Zhun, who is said to be very powerful. There are rumors that he plans to just hand over the company's affairs to Kou Zhun and let Brother Li go back to Beijing with him."
Seeing that the father and son were still having a bitter face, Cao Jun couldn't help but say with confidence: "What's wrong? Could it be... Brother Yue, Uncle Chun, our family won't even face Mei Ge'er, he is... He is Mei Ge!"
Sun Yue squeezed out a smile and said, "I hope not, I think, that's what he should think."
