Bianliang City.

Longjin Bridge Yang Mansion.

Yang Houzhong leaned on Hu's chair tiredly, holding the letter paper in his hand.

This is the third letter from the concubine's son.

"Is there anything unusual in the city today?" Yang Houzhong asked after a long time.

"Brother, the situation in the city is still good today, but..." The personal servant next to him paused.

"explain."

"It is said that dozens of female family members and old people boarded the ship and left the city overnight at the time of the Hai Dynasty." The attendant said softly.

"Oh?" Yang Houzhong's expression changed slightly, and even the Zhang family began to withdraw? "City Defense Army..."

"Uncle, the guards are also from the villagers. Who would intentionally make things difficult for anyone? Who doesn't ask for help?" The attendant smiled bitterly, "Today's Chou and Yin, and there are also a group of families in the He family and the Guo family boarded the ship and headed south from outside Dongshuimen."

Yang Houzhong shook his head.

Although the He family and the Guo family are not the top families in Bianliang City, they are all well-known and are now starting to evacuate.

The He family and the Guo family have always been close friends. Both the Guo family's two sons took over Jiang Feng, and one of them died in battle. Jiang Feng treated the Guo family very well, so he probably had contacted him for a long time. This time, he was probably going directly to Xuzhou or Shouzhou.

"Uncle, not only that, in the past two months, the ships that went east and south in Bianliang City have become much more in short supply. Even the ships in Yunzhou and Caozhou have come to take on business, and they are also full of business. Almost every day, hundreds of people and cargo board the ships. The masters on the dock have several times their income in the past two months."

Yang Houzhong felt even more speechless when the attendant said the words.

In fact, he knew all these situations, and His Highness King Liang was also aware of them. Everyone in the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council were also very clear-headed, but so what? Can you still not allow people and goods to leave the city?

If you really want to issue this ban, I am afraid that Bianliang City will immediately become boiling and may cause trouble.

Besides, it is easy for merchants to transfer these. You can’t say that you don’t let merchants do business, right? It can be transferred to the goods in three or five times.

Also, who is doing big business, who has nothing to do with the officials in Bianliang City?

If you have a trick, I naturally have a way, so don’t talk about my second brother.

Everyone has their own ways and shows their magical powers. Maybe they will come to the ground, and everyone has to conspire to work together and be neighbors together.

There are a million people in Bianliang City, and hundreds of ships of cargo are out every day, and nothing can be seen in a short period of time. However, if this continues, it will probably be different sooner or later.

Now the prominent families and great families and tycoons are looking for a way out. Maybe they will be ordinary scholars and people with family resources. Once the Shatuo people and the miscellaneous Husbands behind them attack Bianliang City, it is chilling to think about it. As long as there is a slight possibility, they may not stay in Bianliang City. Think about it, the tragedy after the Husbands broke through the Han city during the Five Barbarians' invasion of China, no one with a little knowledge will stay in Bianliang.

Although the Shatuo people have been sinicized and the situation of the Han people in Hedong seems not as tragic as imagined, ordinary scholars in this era have fewer opportunities to go out, and there are even fewer opportunities to go to Hu people, and more are heard of.

The rumors about the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China are deeply rooted in the hearts of many people, and they would rather believe in their own people.

"The young people also heard that there were more people on the docks in Chenliu. Many people started selling their land, but they were afraid that they would be known, so they chose to board the boat from Chenliu to go south." The attendant was from Chenliu, so they knew about these situations.

"You have always been in touch with Qilang?" Yang Houzhong asked suddenly.

The attendant was dumb and dared not speak.

Yang Houzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't blame you. In this case, everyone must consider themselves. Well, you go and notify the second master, the fifth master and the others to come and discuss it."

The attendant has also followed Yang Houzhong for many years. Relying on his life for the Yang family for many years, he is not afraid of some things that cannot be said: "Uncle, it seems that Xuzhou is the most suitable one now. You have to leave early to leave. The younger ones have observed that since half a month ago, more and more people boarded the boat almost every day. It turned out that few people were on the boat at the Mao hour, and now there are also crowds of people on the Mao hour pier."

"Oh?" Yang Houzhong was a little surprised. Bianliang City was banned from nighttime, but large-scale night sailings, especially when fleets left the city, were also quite strict. Not everyone could get them.

"The guards were all bribed. Many shameful things and people chose to get on the boat at the Yin and Mao periods, and leave the city before dawn, go directly to Xuzhou, or go to Tongqiao from Songcheng. I heard that Tongqiao has been rebuilt into Suzhou. It has always been prosperous and has convenient transportation. It is not far from Xuzhou. You can also walk the canal into Huai River to the south, so many merchants choose to go to Suzhou."

"Didn't it mean that there are the most people going to Shouzhou?" Yang Houzhong was a little surprised.

Lao Qi wrote to him that he could choose to arrange his family in Xuzhou or Shouzhou, but he had never heard of Suzhou.

Shouzhou is the most prosperous, with rich resources and developed commerce. It is both the headquarters of Huaiyou Town and the headquarters of the Xuzhou General Administration. It was originally the most suitable settlement, but it is located in Huainan, with a humid and hot climate, so the family may not like it.

Xuzhou is of course the best choice, with a strong city in power. Lao Qi also said that Xuzhou City fell into their hands and no one in the world could break through Pengcheng. The tone was so loud that it made people speechless, but the confidence it revealed was exciting.

Lao Qi also said in the letter that although Xuzhou has not been war-torn, it was too difficult for Shifeng to make a few years ago. The prosperity is far less than Shouzhou, and the prices are also expensive. In addition, there are many refugees from the north of the city, and the public security is not far from Shouzhou.

Of course, these situations will improve in time. After all, this is where the county prince’s mansion and the general administration are stationed.

"Shouzhou is of course good, but Huaiyou merchants have long become a climate. If you want to dig food, you may not be able to do anything. Xuzhou is still a little messy, and people who have no connections are afraid of losing money. Suzhou is said to be newly rebuilt, and Tongqiao is also a commercial port and wharf on the canal, so there are many opportunities, so everyone is willing to go."

Although the Yang family is a large family in Bianliang City, over the past few decades, it has long become a big family of hundreds of people. The income of relying on the ranks of officials in the court and the army will naturally not be able to support it.

Even if you still have land rent in the countryside, it is still difficult to maintain the livelihood of such a large family, so doing business is also a must.

There are three cloth shops, two pharmacies, one pawn shop and two blacksmith shops in Bianliang City. They are all business of the Yang family, and now they have to consider where to move.

"I understand." Yang Houzhong nodded.

The family may be able to settle in Xuzhou. Since Lao Qi is ranked high in the Xuzhou General Administration, there must be no problem in protecting his family. As for the business, Xuzhou is not yet stable, and Shouzhou has long been the territory of Huaiyou merchants, so he may not be able to get involved. Suzhou is newly rebuilt, which is a good place to go.

***************************************************

Walking in the carriage, Zhang Ji's eyes kept wandering the streets.

Now he can't see much change in Bianliang City, but he can feel that the scholars and people on the street seem to be walking a little faster than before, with a little more rapid and panic.

There are still endless shops on both sides of the street. As the empire's leading metropolis, no matter what major things happen, ordinary people still have to live, and businessmen also have to do business.

There is still no curfew in Bianliang City, but the number of guards inside and outside the city gate has doubled several times, which in Zhang Ji's opinion is somewhat incredible.

At this level, I don’t know what the nobles of Daliang think, but they don’t have a curfew. Do they really think that hundreds of thousands of people in Bianliang City do not have the detailed scouts of Shatuo people?

Maybe they think it doesn’t make much sense even if it’s a curfew?

Think about it, there is nothing strange about this Daliang army? Look at the generals who only know how to seek personal gain, I am afraid that they have been infiltrated by various forces like sieves.

Zhang Ji came to Bianliang this time, and the Xuzhou army was about to march into Songzhou. How to avoid conflicts with the Tianxing Left Army in Songzhou is also a difficult problem.

According to the news received by Wuwentang and the Chao family, Caizhou was also actively contacting the Pang family in Bianliang behind Pang Yuan, which made Xuzhou extremely alert. If Pang Yuan turned to the Yuan family, the Xuzhou army would inevitably encounter great trouble in its strategy of Songzhou.

The situation in Daliang is extremely complicated now. Although the war in Zhengzhou front line is still continuing, the news from the detailed scout feedback said that the intensity of the war between the two sides has been reduced a lot, which means that although there is still war, there is a stalemate.

It is reported that there should be some problems with the Shatu people's logistics, which makes the offensive a little unsustainable. Now the Shatu people are trying hard to raise military supplies. Once the subsequent supplies are replenished, the war may be fully launched.

Although Nanyang and Caizhou have both attacked the Henan Prefecture, Ruzhou, Xuzhou and Chenzhou, they have stopped moving forward in a tacit understanding, which shows that the tacit understanding between Nanyang, Caizhou and Shatuo people has been broken, and they have begun to make plans for the destruction of Daliang.

In other words, if the Shatuo people want to destroy Daliang, they can only rely on their own strength.

Nanyang and Caizhou are now more interested in seizing profits and have even begun to establish a defense line against the Shatuo people.

For Shatuo people, as long as they can defeat Daliang, everything else can be put into the future. Daliang is their only life-and-death enemy. Perhaps Shatuo people did not take it seriously. As long as they destroyed Daliang, even if they were unable to solve Nanyang and Caizhou for a while, as long as they were able to recover, they could defeat each one, including Xuzhou.
