Chapter 434: Arrive in Daning
Yazhu.
This is the name of a tavern, located at the lower three miles of the Yongding River in the capital, not far from the Yongding River.
The reason why the tavern has such a name is that everything is made of bamboo, which looks very quiet and elegant.
Don’t think building a house with bamboo is cheap. In fact, when Yang Tinghe approached Yazhu, this big move surprised him.
A faint fragrance of bamboo wafted into his nose, and Yang Tinghe immediately realized that the bamboo used to build this tavern was "golden fragrance bamboo".
This kind of bamboo is produced in Yunnan and is not large in quantity. Its material is hard and not easily worm-eaten, so it is very suitable for weaving.
Now it has appeared in the remote Yongding River in the capital, which is actually used to build a house. I am afraid that such a tavern is not too big or too small.
This construction fee alone costs more than 50,000 taels of silver.
After Yang Tinghe stopped for a while, he continued to approach Yazhu. When he arrived at Yazhu's door, the bamboo door was suddenly pushed open. The two men said to Yang Tinghe in unison: "Mr. Yang, please!"
Yang Tinghe nodded and looked at the two men with his eyes as his eyes slid past the waist cards between the two men's waists.
There is no text on the waist card, only one orchid pattern, and three balls of flames below.
"The person from Wanhuanghuotang." Yang Tinghe said to himself.
Wanhuang’s four halls of “Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning”, wind is news, fire is a dead soldier, thunder is a punishment, and lightning is a courtier. Since Qin Si, Hai Dayou, Fang Huitian, Xue Ruqin and others rebelled and died. In addition to the death of the “Phoenix Lord” Empress Dowager, Wanhuang’s other three halls have almost collapsed except for the Radio Hall.
Now that I saw the people from Huotang again, Yang Tinghe understood that the "Phoenix Lord" had gradually reunited with the four halls.
The phoenix is the king of hundreds of birds, among which the phoenix is the hero, and the phoenix is this.
For a long time, Wan Huang's master on the surface was the empress dowager. Only the hall master-level figures knew about this.
Everyone in Wanhuang knew that Wanhuang had another "Phoenix Lord", and his power was only the "Phoenix Lord". However, his identity was mysterious, and no one knew what he looked like and what his identity was.
I only know that he does not interfere in Wanhuang's affairs on weekdays, but if he gives any orders, Wanhuang must cooperate to complete it.
Yang Tinghe can be regarded as the only person in Wanhuang who knows the true identity of the Fengzhu and is still alive now. Now seeing the Fengzhu reunite in the four halls, Yang Tinghe suddenly feels like Wanhuang is reappearing to the peak.
Walking into Yazhu Hall, there was no one inside.
Only a slightly old voice was heard: "I have never found any place to spend my time in my spare time, so I have built such a small tavern.
This tavern does not usually come in, but there are people at any time. If you are interested in coming to have a glass of water and wine, you can come at any time."
Yang Tinghe turned his head and looked towards nine o'clock, and there was a bamboo curtain. The sound came from behind the bamboo curtain. Yang Tinghe understood that "he" was inside.
Yang Tinghe bowed slightly to the bamboo curtain and responded: "Yes."
"He" means Yang Tinghe. In fact, it is not really about letting him drink when he is fine, but about telling him that there are people here at any time and it is an information transfer station.
If you have urgent matters, you can come here first.
There was another question from behind the bamboo curtain: "Jiang Xia left the capital and went to Daning?"
"Yes, I have set off on my way. I have taken his ten wives and the entire martial arts lecturers."
"What do you think about opening a border market with Tatars?" asked the person behind the bamboo curtain again.
After thinking about it, Yang Tinghe replied: "Tartars are barbaric, and Daning is their border. If they open a border market there, they may be plundered and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"So you let Jiang Xia be responsible for this matter and don't care?"
Hearing this question, Yang Tinghe suddenly felt a sudden stern. He heard that the tone of this question seemed to contain a slight anger.
Although the anger was very weak, Yang Tinghe felt a little trembling. He said nervously: "I guess Jiang Xia's incident will definitely end up bleak, so he didn't participate too much."
"The lower-class silk in Yangzhou was transported to Tatars at a price of more than ten times. If Jiang Xia really cooperated with the Tatars well and gained a foothold in Daning, this place would bring such benefits, have you ever thought about it?"
"This" Yang Tinghe has confirmed that the person behind the bamboo curtain was really angry. He took a deep breath and forced the tension in his heart to suppress.
"I hope to tell you how to deal with it." Yang Tinghe bowed to the bamboo curtain and asked. With his current identity, besides the current emperor, the only one behind the bamboo curtain can make him bow so much is probably the one behind the bamboo curtain.
A sighed behind the bamboo curtain, and then said, "Let's watch the changes first, if he really goes well, then find a way to destroy this before he becomes powerful."
"Yes." Yang Tinghe responded.
After that, both sides were silent. Seeing that the person behind the bamboo curtain did not speak anymore, Yang Tinghe asked, "If nothing else, will the subordinate take his leave?"
There was another silence behind the bamboo curtain, and suddenly a voice came out: "Menny, if you are the general who guards the city, you are responsible for protecting the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
Unexpectedly, when a strong enemy attacked, the enemy drove the refugees outside the city to the city gate and forced them to come and destroy the city gate with bows and arrows.
What should you do? Open the door and let people enter the city? Send arrows to stop people entering the city? Or leave it alone?"
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the person behind the bamboo curtain suddenly asked him such a question. After thinking for a while, he replied: "The subordinates will immediately send someone to report this matter to the chief officer in the city and wait for the instructions."
According to Yang Tinghe's fixed thinking, a military general in a city will definitely not be the highest chief official, but the chief official must be a civil official. So he has this answer.
There was another silence, and then a sigh seemed to be heard by the person behind the bamboo curtain. Then the voice came out: "Okay, you go."
"Take aside." Yang Tinghe said, then turned around and walked towards Yazhu's door.
When the sound of closing the door sounded, a sigh came from behind the bamboo curtain: "Report to the chief official, shirk responsibility. If you have made plans, you have lost your responsibility and decisiveness. It is difficult to become a great master. Being a chief minister is very difficult."
Besides, Jiang Xia, he brought Xiao Sha, Bu Jinyun and others, and at the same time, the instructors and students from the martial arts lecture hall.
In addition to his ten wives, their wives’ personal maids, and craftsmen who went to Daning to build commodity trading markets.
So the journey is vast and extraordinary.
Every time a city passes, the officials in the city receive a notice in advance. When the court’s minister passes by, which official dares to neglect?
Therefore, wherever Jiangxia passed, basically, civil and military officials led the people to welcome him. If Jiangxia had not been in a hurry to refuse the banquets from all officials, it would have been such a small distance from the capital to Daning, Jiangxia would have to walk for a month.
Fortunately, Jiang Xia knew that Alsu had been anxious about the commodity trading market for a long time, so Jiang Xia was too delayed and went straight to Ning County.
Ning County is a county closest to the Daning border in the Ming Dynasty. Wei Jingjing contacted the franchisees for Jiangxia. Most of them are waiting for Jiangxia and the others to arrive here, and then accompany Jiangxia to enter Daning to take a look.
As a person who once created Meng County in Datong Town, Wei Jingjing knew more about how much profit there was when dealing with Tatars.
So many of these franchisees are Wei Jingjing's own people or her previous partnerships.
There are only a very small number of people who spent money to buy a franchise token from Wei Jingjing.
Jiang Xia and his group had just arrived outside the county town of Ning County. The county magistrate of Ning County had already brought his subordinates and some people in the city to go out of the city to welcome Jiang Xia.
Some franchisees who have already arrived in Ning County have also arrived.
Jiang Xia rode the Ulan horse that Alsu gave him, while his wife sat in three carriages separately.
Gao Jia, who was walking in the front, ran over to introduce Jiangxia to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate looked towards Jiangxia.
Jiang Xia turned over and got off the horse and walked to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate and a group of officials saluted Jiang Xia and said, "See the Grand Tutor, Bei Zhi has prepared houses for the adults in the city and prepared wine and food. Everyone is exhausted, please allow Bei Zhi to welcome the adults."
Jiang Xia nodded with a smile, Gao Jia walked to him and whispered to Jiang Xia that the county magistrate was surnamed Hu. After Jiang Xia knew about it, he said, "I'm sorry to County magistrate Hu."
"If you can visit the small county, it is a blessing for the entire Ning County. Please come to you."
County Magistrate Hu pointed to the city gate and guided Jiang Xia in.
County Magistrate Hu did not expect that Jiang Xia, as the minister of the dynasty, would be so easy to get close to, and he had no airs at all, and immediately became more fond of Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Brother Jiang Jiang?"
Jiang Xia looked in the direction where the sound came and immediately found an acquaintance. He walked over with a smile and shouted, "Mr. Wang's head."
That's right, this person is Wang SF Express, the head of the chief escort agency who once met Jiang Xia.
Wang Shunfeng said with an incredible look: "I have heard that among the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the youngest one is named Jiang Xia. I still said it was a duplicate name, but I didn't expect it to be you. I'm so ignorant."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is so polite to me. It doesn't matter what my identity is. In short, it's Brother Jiang. By the way, why are you here?"
"After all, the escort agency is a living life. I am getting older and I can't work hard anymore. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I asked someone to find Miss Wei and asked a franchise token, hoping to reset a home business."
"You can definitely do it." Jiang Xia patted Mr. Wang's shoulder on the shoulder, and then said, "Let's go and go to the city with your brothers. Let's have two drinks."
"Okay." Wang Shunfeng replied with a smile.
After Jiangxia and his group entered Ning County, in order to arrive in Daning as soon as possible, he immediately sent Qiu Wenshi to Daning to find Daisendari with his own letter.
In order to wait for Jiangxia, Daisendari basically lived in the military camp in Daning. But suddenly, a man directly lifted the curtain of Daisendari's camp and broke in.
