Opening the Xizhou Commercial Road is not an easy task.

m_)

Moreover, this is not Yu Yin's own business, but also involves two big merchants Li Dayin and Liu Qing. Therefore, things are very complicated and must be sorted out bit by bit. Under Yu Yin's introduction, Ren Chen and Liu Qing met in the Moutuogang Military Village...

Although Ren Chen is a member of the ranks, he has been living in Taiyuan since he was a child and is very proficient in business.

This is also the main reason why Yu Liyan sent him.

Even Yu Yin is among the merchants in the Song Dynasty. If you don’t have a person who knows it, you will still not be able to do it.

Ren Chen stayed in Kaifeng for seven days and had more than ten confrontations with Liu Qing. Finally, the two sides reached an agreement... Once the agreement was reached, Ren Chen said goodbye to Yu Yin. Time was very tight, and he had to rush back to Xizhou to report as soon as possible, and contact Xixia to clear the trade routes so that the goods could be unobstructed. This also requires management from all aspects. Fortunately, the relationship between Xiliao and Xixia is very close, so it will not become the most important problem...

The main question is whether Yu Liyan can send troops to help?

Yu Yin was nervous, but time could no longer allow him to continue hesitating.

At the end of October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jurchen Western Route Army, under the command of the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan, took Pucha Shijianu as the vanguard to break through the Shuozhou defense line and approach Daizhou. At the same time, the Eastern Route Army, led by Wanyan Zongwang, invaded Yanshan Prefecture.

Yu Yin had no choice but to repeatedly remind him to complain.

Ren Chen also expressed that he would do his best to persuade Yelu Yuliyan to send troops...

Although he was a military officer from Western Liao and was raised by the Liao people, he was a Han man in his bones.

In early November of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the first batch of supplies was shipped from Hangzhou and sent to Xizhou. At the same time, Liu Qing also escorted the baggage and set off with Ren Chen to Xizhou.

Standing on Moutuogang and watching the vast convoy heading westward, Yu Yin's heart was filled with twists and turns and thoughts.

But I don’t know whether this Xizhou commercial road can become a life path for our Song Dynasty?

After seeing Ren Chen off, Yu Yin did not feel relaxed.

There is nothing wrong with the Moutuogang Military Village. Chen Dong, Niu Gao, Dong Xian and Pang Wanchun are taken care of. However, at this time, Huang Shang fell ill and his condition is extremely serious. You must know that Huang Shang is already an elderly person over 80 years old.

At this time in history, he was already in Yihuang, Fuzhou for retirement. However, now he stayed in Kaifeng to plan for Yu Yin's future.

When you get older, it will be very serious once you get sick.

After treating Huang Shang, An Daoquan also showed signs of embarrassment.

"Xiao Yi. Let's make some preparations."

"What does Uncle An mean?"

An Daoquan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't cure the Grand Secretary... The Grand Secretary's blood has declined and he is terminally ill, so I'm afraid I can't last long."

Huang Shang is old and can be saved by birth, old age, sickness and death without human means.

Yu Yin, confused!

In his previous life, he had experienced his father's death, but this was the first time he had left his relatives when he was reborn.

Since An Daoquan said this, Yu Yin also knew that Huang Shang's condition was irreparable. He couldn't help but feel sad and could not help but shed two lines of clear tears.

But when he turned his head, Yu Yin had to look relaxed.

But he did not go to Moutuogang again, but took Huang Shang to his home.

Maybe I felt something, Huang Shang, who had been reluctant to move to Yu Yin's house before, did not refuse this time.

Huang Shang has no descendants in his lifetime.

Now that Yu Yin is his child, how could he reject Yu Yin's filial piety?

Every day, Yu Yin accompanied Huang Shang at home, playing the piano and music, or studying Taoist sect. Huang Shang believed in Taoism. The one he respected the most was Zhuangzi. Therefore, he would ask Yu Yin to recite Nanhua by his side every day, and his life would be quiet.

At first, Zhao Duofu came to Yuyin's house once.

However, when she learned that Huang Shang was seriously ill, she stopped disturbing her and just sent someone to send the medicine collected by Da Nei, which made Yu Yin grateful.

"Xiao Yi, if one day I get the chance, I will repay the Rufu Emperor in the present."

Huang Shang told Yu Yin, "The Emperor Roufu is innocent and innocent, but unfortunately she was born in the imperial family. I once made a fortune for her and found that she had many disasters in her life and had a miserable life. To say that she is the daughter of an emperor, she should not have had such a fate... I hope my family is wrong, but if so, I hope Xiao Yi, you can keep her safe... For some reason, I always feel restless today."

The fate of Emperor Roufu seems to be very sad.

Yu Yin knows nothing about Ziwei Doushu and the like.

But since Huang Shang gave the order, he would not refuse... What's more, Emperor Roufu was really good to him.

"Don't worry, uncle, Xiao Yi will sacrifice his life and will also keep Rufu Emperor safe."

"In this way, one of the things I've done."

Huang Shang fell on the couch, his eyes slightly dull.

Outside the window, it started snowing, causing the temperature to drop sharply.

Yang Jinlian came in with a brazier, placed it in the corner of the house, and whispered: "Master, Sister Jiuer said that the house was cold, so let's add another brazier."

"Thank you, Miss Yang."

Yu Yin bowed and sent Yang Jinlian out.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Huang Shang tilting his head, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Huang Shang sighed and said softly: "For some reason, I always feel that there is something wrong with you and Miss Yang."

"ah?"

“In theory, I shouldn’t say this.

But I took it for you and found that your life is a peach blossom, and I am destined to have many children and grandchildren in my lifetime..."

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense, Sister Jiuer will be unhappy when she hears it."

"Haha, I've already told Yan Nu that."

When Yu Yin heard this, he was stunned.

Uncle, aren’t you causing my family to be in harmony?

"By the way, what is the relationship between you and Miss Yang?"

"Uncle, you have thought too much. My family and Madam Yang are indeed innocent and have no connection."

"Yeah?"

"How dare Xiao Yi deceive his uncle... Well, let me tell the truth, Mrs. Yang's husband died in my hands." Under Huang Shang's burning eyes, Yu Yin could not hold back, so he had to lower his voice and whispered the story of Li Guanyu in Huang Shang's ear, and explained in detail the details of Li Guanyu.

Huang Shang's face showed a solemn look.

"In this way, the enemy has been planning for me for a long time?"

“That’s right!”

A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes, and Huang Shang smiled bitterly, "I remember that Zhang Zihou once said that Duan Wang was frivolous and should not be a king. I didn't believe it at that time, but now it seems... Zhang Zihou has a heroic personality, is resourceful and good at making decisions. He has to be too extreme and will not end up in the end. But his words are correct. Duan Wang, you really should not be a king."

Yu Yin listened quietly, but didn't know how to interfere.

He just sighed and picked up the South China Sutra and chanted it softly in Huang Shang's ear.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Huang Shang's body is as bad as a day.

The war reports coming from the front are even more worrying.

On November 14th, the Jurchen Western Route Army captured Daizhou and rushed into Zhongshan. The news came, causing panic among the people of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The Jurchen Eastern Army was also in a state of power. Under the repeated urging of Emperor Huizong, the Xuanfu envoy Cai Jing ordered Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Lingzheng and Liu Shunzhi to lead their troops to fight. The two sides fought decisively in Baihe, and the Song army finally returned with a crushing defeat...

Pharmacist Guo, lost!

Yu Yin sighed and threw the battle report into the brazier.

It has been ten days since Guo Yaoshi was defeated, and I don’t know what the situation ahead has become.

Huang Shang's condition is getting worse and worse, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, and he sees that he has not had much time.

During Huang Shang's days of illness, many people in the court came to visit him, including Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, and the new censor Chen Guoting. No matter what, Huang Shang is considered a famous scholar in the modern era, and now he is critically ill, so Li Gang and others should visit him.

But these people did not give Yu Yin any good looks.

No wonder. Yu Yin, Li Gang and others were so irritated. It would be a strange thing if they had a good face...

However, Yu Yin didn't care about this. Even if Li Gang and others looked at him with a true look, they just smiled slightly and ignored him. Whether you are intimate with me or cold to me, I have nothing to ask for about you, so why bother with me?

Humanity means that there is no desire, and that is the case.

After seeing off Li Gang and others, the courtyard of Guanyin Lane returned to peace.

Yuru was already asleep, and Yang Jinlian was in the upper room, taking care of her... Yan Nu sat down beside Yu Yin and whispered: "Brother Xiao Yi, is the situation bad?"

"Um?"

"The prices outside have soared in the past two days, which is more than triple when you came back.

Moreover, the number of refugees from Hebei is increasing, and they all look dilapidated... When I went to the store today, I heard from my third sister-in-law next door that she was about to sell the city's property. I was worried that if this continues, something big will happen sooner or later."
To be continued...
