Pirate Song

Gao Huaiyuan secretly laughed in his heart. In fact, Huang Yan was still working for him when he stayed in the army. In time, if Huang Yan and others were promoted in the army, the army they controlled would still be his strength at critical times. Compared with

It would be much faster for him to cultivate the army by relying on Crouching Tiger Village. Naturally, he couldn't tell Huang Zhen this idea!

Regarding business matters, Gao Huaiyuan only discussed with Huang Zhen. Huang Zhen was responsible for the specific implementation. As for how Huang Zhen arranged the people in charge of Jingxi Road, Gao Huaiyuan did not interfere and Huang Zhen took care of it himself.

The idea is that this area belongs to the peripheral industry of Crouching Tiger Village. Except for a few core people who know the inside story, the rest of the people think that the real shopkeeper is Huang Zhen, so Gao Huaiyuan will not get too involved in its affairs.

After deciding on Huang Zhen's development in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Gao Huaiyuan told Huang Zhen about his possibility of becoming Daye County Lieutenant. Huang Zhen was also very happy for Gao Huaiyuan.

People look down on businessmen, but which official doesn't have his own property? Since ancient times, officials and merchants have not separated the family. Officials have the power and naturally have to take advantage of it. Therefore, there are not a few officials in the Song Dynasty doing business. Now Gao Huaiyuan can wear a

The clothes of a high-level official will only be beneficial to his development in Daye County in the future. Huang Zhen sees this more clearly than Gao Huaiyuan.

Regarding this matter, Huang Zhen immediately thought of a deeper aspect and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "This is the best. What the young master is most in need of now is money. Our relationship with the Ezhou Prefecture is quite good now. Since Mr. Gao is like this

If I am confident that I can fill you with the post of Daye County Lieutenant, then don’t rush back when the young master comes to Ezhou this time. I will arrange a banquet for the officials here in Ezhou and introduce them to the young master. After getting to know him first, the young master will be able to do things well after he takes office.

It’s more convenient!”

Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and said: "There is no rush in this matter. My replacement as county captain has not been settled yet, so don't rush to make friends with these people. Besides, with you, Zuixianlou, I don't have to worry about getting on well with them.

If you are free before leaving Ezhou, you can lay the groundwork first. I have something to do and am in a hurry to return to Daye County. I will arrange to transport the goods as soon as possible. You can also set off as soon as possible to open a branch in Shaoxing! By the way!

I also want to remind you that this time I offended a lot of dandies in Shaoxing, and you must not let them know about the relationship between Zuixianlou and me under any circumstances, otherwise, they may have to trouble you!"

Huang Zhen looked at Gao Huaiyuan's indifferent expression and shook his head. He really couldn't understand that Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about such a good thing as being an official. But Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about this matter, but he couldn't care less. He had to do it anyway before leaving.

Gao Huaiyuan sets the stage!

After talking about this, Gao Huaiyuan did not stay in Ezhou. After all, he had not been back home for more than a month. He really missed his brothers and wanted to see how they had advanced Zhuangzi's affairs in more than a month.

What's more, there is Ji Xiancheng who is following him in his old house, and his status is somewhat embarrassing. He must also think clearly as soon as possible how to treat Ji Xiancheng.

So Gao Huaiyuan immediately said goodbye to Huang Zhen, still riding alone, mounted a horse that Ji Xiancheng had bought for him at a huge price during this period, left Ezhou, and galloped towards Daye.

It had been a long time since Gao Huaiyuan rode a horse. When Gao Huaiyuan got on the yellow gelding again, he felt much happier. He felt the wind blowing in his ears, and he seemed to have returned to the battlefield where he had been away for a long time.

Usually, the sound of the wind turned into shouts that filled the sky, and the scene of a bloody battlefield once again appeared before his eyes.

After leaving the city, Gao Huaiyuan let go and galloped happily. This yellow gelding horse had pretty good foot power, and it was not the Dali horse that was more common in the Song Dynasty, but the Mongolian horse that was used more often by the Jin Army. Although

It is not as tall and handsome as the Hequ horse, but this kind of horse is distinguished by its thick body, strong limbs, rough and strong constitution, hardiness and adaptability. It is an excellent horse breed in China.

After more than a year before the army, Gao Huaiyuan had already learned how to control horses and was familiar with identifying horse breeds. He still liked this group of Mongolian horses. This horse looked about four or five years old.

He was still in his teenage years, and there was still room for development. He could still ride for at least ten years before he entered his old age. Gao Huaiyuan was very happy for Huang Zhen's kindness.

What's even better is that this horse is still a mare. If there is a chance in the future, it can be bred to produce foals. It is considered a treasure. Look at the marks that have been removed from the horse. Gao Huaiyuan takes a look.

Then he saw that this horse must be from the army. It was a golden war horse that was captured on the battlefield and then resold on the black market before being bought by Huang Zhen at a high price. If an ordinary person rides this kind of horse, he may be sued.

, but if Gao Huaiyuan had a first-level official status, there wouldn't be any problem.

People in Ezhou have long been accustomed to the sight of Gao Huaiyuan riding a horse galloping on the road. During this period, the army was mobilized frequently. Even horses that were rarely seen on weekdays were no longer rare. Soldiers carrying messages back and forth were

He travels back and forth between cities, so he doesn't attract much attention.

The journey that originally took one day to complete, Gao Huaiyuan rushed back to Daye County in half a day after riding the yellow gelding. Moreover, the yellow gelding did not appear very tired. It did have outstanding leg strength and could be considered a yellow gelding.

What a treasure I found by accident!

Daye County recruited another batch of Zhuang Zhuang after the New Year. Compared with the first batch of Zhuang Zhuang that Gao Huaiyuan brought to the battle, the quality dropped a bit. When Gao Huaiyuan first arrived in Daye County, he encountered

After boarding this team of 300 rural warriors, Gao Huaiyuan looked at the sparse team. He really didn't know whether they were going to serve in front of the battle or to escape. After looking at it, he shook his head and galvanized his horse to pass them and head towards the county seat.

go.

"Commander, move slowly!" a voice sounded from behind the Xiangyong team.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately reined in his horse and stood still, looking over with some confusion. Commander Gao was only called Commander Gao when he was in the military. Even if someone knew him in Daye County, they would only call him Master Gao. Who is this?

Would you call him that here?

When he saw a man wearing leather armor walking out of the team, Gao Huaiyuan saw clearly that he was indeed an old acquaintance. He was actually Guo Liang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He didn't expect that this guy was still alive. Looking at his outfit, he should be

He's an official!

After seeing Guo Liang, Gao Huaiyuan was very happy. After jumping off the horse, he greeted him: "Who did I think called me? It turned out to be Brother Guo! Why are you back?"

Speaking of Guo Liang, Gao Huaiyuan thought of many local warriors who followed him to serve in front of the army. Among those who followed him, most of them died in front of the army, including the archer leader Zhang Qingye.

He died in a tiger's mouth. When he finally left Xiangyang, Guo Liang was considered the greatest official among Daye's local heroes!

Guo Liang quickly bowed to Gao Huaiyuan out of habit. He was supported by Gao Huaiyuan and stood up straight before replying: "It's a long story! Commander Gao didn't know something. Our supply camp dispersed after you left.

The younger one took the brothers who went there with Daye. Later, Mr. Wang went to the front of the army, and the younger one worked under Mr. Wang. Later, Mr. Wang took us to Tanghe to transport grain, but we were attacked by the Jin army. Mr. Wang

He was hit by an arrow and died on the spot. Fortunately, Xiao Xiao followed the high command and learned the skills of controlling the army. In the end, he was not completely defeated and finally escaped. This time, Xiao Xiao's mother died at home, so he resigned from the army and came back to take care of her mother's funeral.

, that’s when he came back from the army!

When I came back years ago, I made a special trip to visit Commander Gao, but Commander Gao was not at home. I was thinking of going to my house to meet Commander Gao in two days! I didn’t expect to meet you here today!"

After listening to Guo Liang's words, Gao Huaiyuan immediately said: "I see, has Gao Tang's funeral arrangements been completed? You still have to express your condolences! If there are difficulties in the family, you and I are not outsiders, just speak up! Gao

I didn’t know about this a few years ago, but if I had known about it, I definitely wouldn’t have ignored it!”

"It's okay! When I came back, I heard from people in my family that over the past year, the high commander has taken good care of our family. Guo Liang can't thank him enough! When my mother left, she also told me that when she came back,

I want to thank you, Commander Gao! I have already taken care of her funeral, thank you very much for your concern, Commander Gao!" Guo Liang thanked him again.

What Guo Liang said is true. After Gao Huaiyuan came back from the army, the first thing he did was to send five guans of money to the families of each Xiangyong who died in front of the army. At the same time, for those Xiangyong families who could not come back,

They also arranged for Zhou Hao to come to visit and take care of the poor families. When he left a year ago, he specifically told Zhou Hao that before the New Year, every household should send someone to send some firewood, rice, oil, salt, meat, etc.

Go over and supplement their family income! So many families in Daye County have received favors from Gao Huaiyuan. When Gao Huaiyuan is mentioned, these families are very grateful. Guo Liang has always been Gao Huaiyuan's die-hard supporter when he was in the army.

The supporter is also a temporary leader in the township barracks. Naturally, his family will inevitably receive more attention!

After listening to Guo Liang's words, Gao Huaiyuan looked at Guo Liang's outfit in confusion and said to him: "Stop talking about being a commander or not! That's all in the past. You should still call me "high".

Young Master! Now I no longer have a military position, and I am no longer a commander! I see you dressed like this today, and I wonder what you are doing?"

Guo Liang lowered his head and looked at his outfit, then smiled and replied: "Speaking of it, I am considered unfilial. I should have kept my filial piety at home, but after I came back, Magistrate Liu of the county government insisted on making me a filial piety in the county government.

The leader of the archers! You also know that in the county, Wang Xianwei was killed in battle, and brother Zhang Qing also died in front of the battle. There are only some captives in the county government. In the past, all the archers in the county were recruited to the front of the army. The surviving ones

There aren't many left. The people like Xing Baotou and the ground are a little uneven. They are really busy. After I come back, I don't have anything to do. I just want to make a little extra money to supplement my family's income! So for the time being.

He stayed in the county government office as a servant!

This time, the county recruited brave men from the countryside and sent them to the Junqian Township barracks. No one in the county is taking care of this matter. The magistrate ordered the young men to handle the matter. Now these people are about to be sent to the Ezhou camp.

The younger one came out of the city to see them off!"

Looking at the lazy group of rural warriors heading towards Ezhou, Gao Huaiyuan sighed, thinking that when he led the team to leave Daye County, didn't the rural warriors also have this virtue? It's a pity that these people don't know

How many people can come back alive? Without a good leader, this group of people can only be regarded as a bunch of rabble!

After Guo Liang saw Gao Huaiyuan, he told the leader of the team and sent them here. He asked them to go all the way to Ezhou Camp to sign in. He turned around and accompanied Gao Huaiyuan back to the county seat.

Gao Huaiyuan was also very happy to meet such an old subordinate. Even though Guo Liang was dissatisfied with him at first, after being punished by him, he was very loyal to Gao Huaiyuan under the equal weight of kindness and power. In fact, he was still an honest man.

People are highly trusted by Gao Huaiyuan.

Guo Liang held the horse for Gao Huaiyuan and told Gao Huaiyuan what he had experienced this year along the way. Before entering the city, Guo Liang suddenly and mysteriously said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Commander Gao...oh

No...it's Mr. Gao! I've heard people talk about you a lot during these New Year holidays!"

"Oh? What are you talking about me? I rarely walk around the county town! I'm not a famous person, so why do people often talk about me?" Gao Huaiyuan asked curiously.

"Young Master Gao is not a famous person! During this period of time in the county government, many people have often mentioned your name. I heard several county guards talking about you from time to time, saying that you are likely to become the county captain of our Daye County.

, If it is true, I will be able to work with you again in the future!" Guo Liang said to Gao Huaiyuan with excitement on his face.

Gao Huaiyuan is so sweaty! What kind of magical power does his father who lives far away in Shaoxing have? This kind of thing has caused a fuss even in Daye. Previously, Capt.

It's a good thing that he still doesn't agree to the errand. If this thing goes through, he will be despised by Xing Captou and the others!

However, after hearing what Guo Liang said, Gao Huaiyuan also thought that it was not only his father who was working hard on this matter, but also Liu Zhi County played a certain role in it. The position of county captain is the county government.

The important position of Liu Zhi County has shared many affairs of Liu Zhixian. Now that there is a vacancy, Liu Zhixian will have to be very busy. He must also want to find someone to take over this position as soon as possible. Once a subordinate who is not easy to greet is sent, Liu Zhixian will also

If he is unhappy, it is better to find someone he trusts to be the county captain. It is estimated that there is also a movement in Liuzhi County, and he may be wanted to take up the post of county captain!

After the two entered the city, Guo Liang had to drag Gao Huaiyuan to invite him to drink. Gao Huaiyuan couldn't refuse, so he found a restaurant and sat down with Guo Liang. They ordered some food and drinks and started eating. While eating, they talked about serving in the army.

Guo Liang said with emotion: "When I followed Young Master Gao before, I didn't feel much at all. I just thought that Young Master Gao was a capable person in running the army. But since Young Master Gao left, in a few days,

Over time, our supply camp became a mess, and it was soon disbanded. The local soldiers from all over the country returned to their respective military camps, and we were left in the Xiangyang camp without anyone to take care of us! Those who were called around could only do what they wanted.

Let's do some chores, no one treats us as human beings! After thinking about it, I realize that everyone used to give face to you, Mr. Gao. Without you in the army, we are nothing!

Afterwards, Wang Xianwei arrived in Xiangyang, and we talents finally found a place to work with Wang Xianwei. Unfortunately, Wang Xianwei was not as capable as you. Three to four hundred people were like a swarm of swarms. Otherwise, we would have gone there that time.

When we were transporting grain in Tangzhou, we encountered dozens of Jin soldiers, who almost scattered us. Wang Xianwei was also shot to death by the Jin soldiers unprepared!

To say that my life is still a gift from Master Gao, if I hadn’t learned a few moves from Master Gao, after seeing Lieutenant Wang Xian fall to the ground with an arrow, he pulled a group of courageous brothers to counterattack Jin

We need only one army, otherwise, just those dozens of golden soldiers can kill us all!

I finally know what Young Master Gao said before about a raging army and a den of raging soldiers. I still feel at ease when I follow the young master!" When Guo Liang mentioned these things, he shook his head with a frightened look on his face.

"Let's not talk about this! It's all in the past. I'm just an elder now, so it's useless to talk about it! Drink! It's better if you come back this time, so you don't have to worry about living in front of the army.

You can do this archer first. If it doesn't work, you can help me. Now that I have some property, I can also use the master..." Gao Huaiyuan shook his head to stop Guo Liang's words. He was about to say that Guo Liang should go to his village.

While helping, a servant walked in from outside the wine shop. He saw Gao Huaiyuan and ran towards him.

"Master Gao, why are you still drinking here! Go home quickly! I'm afraid the Yamen has arrived at your home now!" As soon as the officer saw Gao Huaiyuan, he ran to Gao Huaiyuan and yelled a bluff.

He stood up and interrupted Gao Huaiyuan's words.

Gao Huaiyuan recognized that this officer was also one of Capt.

He got up and asked hurriedly: "Brother, please tell me, what happened to my family? Why did you say this? Why did the people from the county government rush to my house?"

When he realized that Gao Huaiyuan still didn't know, he hurriedly came over to Gao Huaiyuan with a fawning expression and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Congratulations, Master Gao! Congratulations, Master Gao! Look at my mouth! In fact, it's not a bad thing, but it's a great good thing.
