Just when Li Jing saw off the horse team led by Li Yifeng.

Jinan Prefecture is also seeing off the 15,000-box army rushing to Cizhou.

Li Qingzhao was very angry.

He took the letter sent by Li Jing and asked Zhao Mingcheng and Guan Sheng to go to Cizhou to participate in the royal service.

Although Zhao Mingcheng agreed to Zibo's army to send the Xiang army to join the Jinan Prefecture to help Cizhou, he simply refused to participate in it himself.

He said he was the magistrate and wanted to go there, and he was the magistrate who led his troops there.

The overnight persuasion was unsuccessful. Zhao Mingcheng, who was anxious, also said that the bear skin that Li Jing brought back was ill-fated.

As the army that was serving the king gathered in Jinan Prefecture.

Li Qingzhao was so angry that she took Li Yuan, who had been back to Zibozhou with him, who persuaded her husband, to return to the old house in Qizhou.

"Girl, my brother-in-law is a Jinshi of the dynasty. In the words of Qizhou people, it was Wenquxing who came to the world to help the officials govern the world. Erlang wrote a letter to send a weak scholar to the battlefield, not a fool! Besides, in this winter, he marched in the snow, and even camped in the snow, and his brother-in-law couldn't bear it!"

"Fifth brother, you have never lived in Bianjing and you don't know what happened to Bianjing. Behind the prosperous literary and prosperous Song Dynasty, martial arts were abolition! Erlang is very knowledgeable. Bianjing may not be able to defend this time. The Jin Dynasty has caused trouble to the Song Dynasty, and the world has changed. In the future, officials in the Song Dynasty should be like Zong Ze. They can lead troops on horseback and dismount to study! There is no way to march and fight in winter. The enemy will not choose to attack when you feel comfortable. The Jin people want to shed horses in summer. The future war is likely to be in winter."

"My brother-in-law is over forty years old and is no longer young. He still has to fight for a long journey. I think Erlang is messing around anyway!"

"This is a national war, a war of national survival. Zong Ze is already 67 years old, so he still leads troops to serve the king. Erlang said it very clearly in the letter that Guan Sheng, Jinan Prefecture, has the ability to lead troops, and it is impossible to send him to the battlefield. He can ask for orders to be responsible for some military food and grass, so that he can follow Guan Sheng to experience some military affairs, and he will not be unaware of military affairs in the future!"

The Xiang army sent to Cizhou, the horse gang came back with more than 100 carriages.

Immediately afterwards, the official family came to commend the Li family and the Du Magistrate of Qizhou.

It caused a sensation in the entire Jinan Prefecture.

Li Qingzhao regretted that she had been addicted to the relationship between husband and wife over the years and forgot to take care of these children and nephews of her parents' family.

Looking back on Li Jing now, she was still the ten-year-old naughty child. She often complained to her neighbors, which made her fifth brother feel so angry.

"It is said that nothing is useful, but I don't know business. The fifth brother should be very worried about the mines formulated in the letters of Erlang in Zibo and Qizhou! Cizhou was swept away by the war, and the Song Dynasty lost the most important iron smelting center in the north. The matter of the Iron Case of the Three Departments of the Court could not be delayed. If it is done well, the Li family will have a promising future. If it is not done well, the consequences will be very serious."

"Girl, don't worry about this. The officials sent by Zizhou Prefecture Office have already bought the coal and iron ore in Zizhou together. The shopkeeper Xing from Qizhou also went to do it with the people from Du Zhizhou. By the way, the opportunity is rare. My brother-in-law really doesn't want to buy a share with the Zhao family?"

Li Qingzhao smiled bitterly.

The couple had some savings, so they used them to buy gold, stone, calligraphy and paintings, which was also considered a plaything.

Where can I get money to invest?

Zhao Mingcheng wanted the Zhao family to invest. The people from the Zhao family in Qingzhou saw that Zhao Mingcheng had not invested, and they did not see the rabbit or show off their eagles.

"Girl, I don't know how Erlang discussed with Lord Huang, the Iron Case. Anyway, it is very feasible to establish an iron factory in Qizhou. We also have to carve the shares agreement with Taishan, leaving a story that will last forever. If my brother-in-law doesn't raise money, I still have some savings here!"

My son was fighting outside and he used the plan of an official joint iron factory to cheat his father's savings.

Li Qingzhao giggled.

"How much savings does Fifth Brother have?"

"Sister, don't laugh at me for being a brother. I can't compare you with you. I spend a lot of money to buy calligraphy, paintings, gold and stones at any time. I have been running around for copper coins over the years, and I still have hundreds of taels of gold savings. If my sister doesn't dislike it, she can borrow it as a share capital!"

In the Song Dynasty, about one tael of gold was roughly equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver was also equal to one jin of coins. Five hundred taels of gold was about five thousand jin of coins, which was 500,000 copper coins.

However, in fact, gold and silver are relatively precious, especially when war comes, the exchange rate is rising steadily.

After all, it is gold in troubled times.

"That is, the fifth brother saved in his life, which is not as much money as Erlang earned in this battle?"

Looking at Li Qingzhao's teasing smile, Li Yuan gritted his teeth.

"I don't know where the bastard learned to practice iron. When I brought back those swords and swords, the adults were so happy that they were willing to buy them at a high price!"

"The swords that Erlang brought back were cut like mud. Mingcheng also liked them very much. Someone paid a hundred taels of silver and asked Erlang to build them! At the beginning, you were worried that Dalang would inherit the family business a hundred years later and he had no livelihood. Now it seems that the richest person in the Li family in the future is Erlang!"

In the Song Dynasty, bribery was open and upright.

Li Jing sent back a lot of swords, horses, and fur. He personally appointed him to the magistrates and magistrates of Jinan Prefecture, and many of them were left to Li Yuan for arrangements.

The states and prefectures have gained benefits and are not opposed to the fact that they show their faces like the king. The slaves under them work hard and get the results themselves, and they send troops to support Jinan Prefecture.

Guan Sheng, the chief commander of the Jinan Prefecture Army, even carried the big knife made by Li Jing for him, threatening to go on the battlefield and kill the golden dog himself.

"Then I will put the money into the capital of Yantiesi Tiefang and invest in your name?"

"It's written by Mingcheng. I'm a woman after all, and it's not suitable to take over the business. At that time, I'll ask Mingcheng to write you an IOU, and there is a suitable opportunity to take some gold, stone, calligraphy and paintings, and return the money to you!"

"Five hundred taels of gold are a little less, why don't I embezzle a little from Erlang's share capital?"

"No need, Mingcheng's investment was made by Zhao family and Zhao Zhizhou, who expressed their support for this matter. It would be meaningless if too much! Erlang's money was not approved by him, so don't touch his randomly. The government's official joint stocks must be clear and able to withstand the inspection. You must also discuss with Du Zhizhou and send as many accounts as possible for inspection. With Erlang's smelting inheritance and the double insurance of the officials of the Sansi Iron Case, the possibility of Tiefang losing money is extremely small, so that their scenery should be kept in the long run."

Li Qingzhao was naturally very happy because his nephew was capable and shining his family. He told Li Yuan not to mess up the matter of the iron factory.

But Li Yuan was a little worried.

"Now Erlang has been granted the title of military general, licking blood from the blade, fighting in the battle formation, the Jin people are powerful, and I don't know if they can return safely from this war! What I regret most is that I didn't find a marriage for him and leave a descendant."

Li Erlang is notorious in Zhangqiu, and even matchmakers are in trouble. Good families look down on Li Erlang, and their family background is a little worse, but the Li family looks down on him. Speaking of Li Jing's age, he should have been engaged until now.

Several members of the Li family horse gang who came back safely were asked by Li Yuan and Li Qingzhao no less than ten times.

It's like listening to a legendary story.

Li Yuan still couldn't figure out where Li Jing learned his skills, and said that there was a master professor in Qizhou.

Why haven’t he seen a master before?

This may teach him all his skills.

He was also praised by Lord Zong for sprinkling beans into soldiers and using troops as if they were gods.

"Fifth brother, don't worry too much. Didn't Jinan Prefecture send reinforcements? After listening to the Xiang army's story, Lord Guan also petitioned to lead the army in Cizhou and hand over the command of Erlang, and he helped Erlang to support the formation!"

My son is worried about his mother, but in fact, the father is the same.

Li Qingzhao followed Li Yuan back to Qizhou. He heard that Guan Sheng had only been in charge of training for two days and was about to lead the army to set off.

Among them, more than 30 orphans adopted by the Li family went to Li Jing's army with them.

He hurriedly followed Li Yuan and rushed to Jinan Prefecture again.

Just as Li Qingzhao, Li Yuan and a group of officials from Jinan Prefecture were seeing off the city for the soldiers to go on the expedition.

Li Yifeng, who returned from Enzhou, made people report quickly.

Li Jing asked Jinan Prefecture to send reinforcements, not to let them die.

The reinforcements from Jinan Prefecture to reinforce Cizhou were very likely to hit Wanyan Zongwang, who was heading towards the east road around Cizhou, heading south near Daming Prefecture.

It was learned that Li Erlang led the Qizhou Xiang Army and some of the Zong Family Army, and some of the Cizhou rebels recovered Xingzhou and Enzhou in one fell swoop.

The road outside Jinan Prefecture City was already boiling.

Guan Sheng made a quick decision and led a large army to point to Enzhou.

After meeting the direction of Li Yifeng's convoy, officials from Jinan Prefecture and some left-behind wing troops also advanced towards Enzhou to pick up Li Yifeng's convoy.

Curious about Li Yuan and Li Qingzhao, they also got on the carriage and went to pick up the refugees from Enzhou and Li Jing's spoils.
