Chapter 425: rush to the north, declare the rich and the poor

"This is a bad weather, our brothers are going to work as a businessman. Didn't we worship that god last year?" "No, it's okay in the winter in Fenzhou, but Taiyuan Prefecture is three points cold. He is still going to Datong to eat the sword wind in the first month of the year..."

On the official road entering the Datongfu in Taiyuan Prefecture, there were more than a dozen horses and two carriages moving. There was no sign on the carriage, but looking at the workmanship of the wooden pieces, the carriages were all the same color, and the coachman was covered with leather robes and cotton jackets. He knew that the carriage must be the carriage of a wealthy family.

Look at the knights on the horse, each dressed as a guard, with a tweed cloak, a straight-edged sword hanging on one side of the saddle, and a bow and arrow hanging on the other side. Each of them was a strong man.

Such a cavalry guard and such a car are not simply a saying by a wealthy family, but it must be the important figure of the noble family.

But the northern part of Taiyuan Prefecture is extremely cold in the first lunar month of the twelfth lunar month. Walking on the road is indeed a pain. The two guards who were behind complained in a low voice. A guard in front pulled off his horse, slowed down a little, and then shouted in a low voice with the two behind him, "I'm not shut up yet, that guest is the distinguished guest of the eldest master. Your words are the eldest master's ears, and you may not be skinned and cramped."

"San brother, you have to make a fuss. What's the cold look like? It would be nice to be able to stay in Datong Prefecture for a few days. I hug Datong ladies and sleep comfortably for a few days. Brothers are working hard, but I don't have to rest this day..."

The third brother was moved by the two of them saying this, but at this time the door of the carriage in front opened, and a man leaned out and shouted:

"Dear brothers, I will go to Datong Mansion tonight. At dinner time, each person will receive a reward of five taels of silver. Everyone should hurry up and enter Datong City for one day. Let everyone rest for a day. All expenses will be paid by my master!"

Being a personal guard at the Yu family, it is already good to get the money for 15 taels of cash in a year. The rewards that were suddenly offered are really generous, not to mention the saying that you will have a day of fun in Datong.

Everyone was already slacking off and suddenly felt excited. They screamed and even the coachman was energetic. The horse whip in their hands slapped, and it was faster.

Datong Prefecture is the same as ordinary prefectures, but when you leave Datong Prefecture and go north, you must have a customs defense document issued by Datong border and a road guide from the deputy commander of Datong Prefecture to go out.

Because we walked northward, we left the Jijiang Fort, or went eastward to Huyukou and several other entrances, and then we arrived at the location of the Tartars' control, which was considered a place of the enemy's country and must be strictly investigated.

That's right, but there are countless people from Datong Prefecture and even Shanxi who rely on this place to trade wealth. The Datong-given side holds the power of official trade with the Tartars. The soldiers who are guarding the pass are privately released from the business trip to get some money. Everyone understands it tacitly.

However, for the common people, walking in Datong Mansion will feel particularly troublesome, because there are cross-checking clips everywhere, and if there is any error, they will be turned away.

But the small convoy of Yongshengbo Yu's family did not have this trouble. When they showed the identity of the Yu family, everyone was polite to let go. Datongfu still had about 20% of the military generals who were Yongshengbo's old subordinates, not to mention that the Yu family was a large merchant that traded with the Tatars. It is said that the general officers also had their own stakes in it.

I just entered Datong City, which was the last transit place to the grassland. All the big merchants who did business with the grassland Tartars opened shops in Datong City to make storage and transportation transit.

The Yongsheng Bo family's convoy entered a large inn and stopped. The guards naturally took the silver reward to the fireworks place, but several people protected a middle-aged man to the Yongsheng Warehouse. This was the largest semicolon of the Yongsheng Warehouse a year ago, and it was not until this year that the Tianjin semicolon was slowly caught up.

At the New Year holiday, the shops were very deserted when the middle-aged man arrived, but when the whole shop became busy, passers-by glanced at it and there were more than a dozen large trucks filled with goods. Seeing that they were going out, everyone was wondering what business there was still in this season.

The next day, the guards came back with sloppy steps. Twelve big trucks were ready. They were packed up and they were about to set off. The guards struggled all night and couldn't take a break. They couldn't help but complain, but each person was rewarded with twenty taels, and everyone immediately had no complaints.

Hurry up all the way. The team passed Huyukou and entered the grassland on the third day of the first lunar month. The Qiang General who guarded Huyukou took leave and came to Datong City the next day. He almost stayed in a high-end yard and couldn't come out. Someone who knew the news said that Qiang General suddenly got the benefit of three thousand taels.

Datong has been in the border supply for almost two hundred years, and everything has been stipulated. The military general who keeps his mouth should take as much as he wants. He is doing a long-term transaction. This time he got 3,000 taels, and he doesn't know how much it costs to pass through the border...

When Huwei Camp arrived at Xuanfu, it was already the 18th day of the first lunar month. The carnival of the Chinese New Year was over, and the whole family was exhausted, and there was nothing new about the arrival of the imperial guards. However, Wang Tong's team walked in Xuanfu, and there were often soldiers from the military camp looking at the freshness through the camp bars. He was very envious of the big chariots in Huwei Camp and the fur coats and cotton coats worn by the soldiers. Xuanfu's soldiers carried a patch on their cotton coats and were considered new clothes.

Some people also heard a lot of sarcastic sarcasm such as "rich young masters" and "young master soldiers" on the roadside, but no matter how you hear these words, they were a little sour and smiled.

The Xuanfu City does not have to be inferior to Hejian City. It also looks prosperous. When you get here, you cannot refuse the invitation of the shepherd's general in the city. When you are in a place where others guard, you will have to sell your face.

What's more, the person who came to invite him was Li Tao. Now the youngest son of Li Yunsheng, the deputy general of Xuanxian, was thirty miles away from Xuanfuxian City, Li Tao rode out to greet him.

When he was in the Huwei Wu Hall, Li Tao was the leader of the young men of the Xuan Mansion. Later, he became low-key after following Wang Tong. This Xuan Mansion is his territory, and his grandeur is extraordinary.

Li Tao came on a horse, wearing exquisitely crafted scale armor, with more than 30 followers around him, all of whom were strong men with fine armor, and the horses were also first-class horses. Such a character could be seen as a personal guard near the general. If Li Tao walked in the capital, it would be possible that he was mistaken for the marquis and even the prince of the prince.

Although his temperament was great, he felt a little ashamed when he saw Wang Tong. He got off the horse early, walked over and bowed with his fists, and said:

"Brother Wang, long time no see you, it's always been good!"

However, Wang Tong noticed the style of Li Tao's scale coat robe and boots. Li Tao should be a garrison. With his father's relationship, he must be a real garrison with military power. Wang Tong also noticed that Li Tao bowed like this, and several of the personal guards behind him raised their eyebrows.

In addition to the military supervisor and general in the border town, this general Li Yunsheng is the biggest. Moreover, now Ma Fang is temporarily reborn, Li Yunsheng is newly promoted and powerful. Li Tao was trained in the capital and obtained the position of Thousand General of the General given by the emperor. When he came back, he took office as a garrison. Such a young talent actually gave people so humbly, which made these people even more angry that Wang Tong was still so generous.

How about the Imperial Guard? Although the grade is high, when you come to Xuanfeng, even if Deng Pu, the battalion officer of Longxiang Left Guard, isn't he polite. Li Tao is behind Li Yunsheng. How can Li Tao represent Li Yunsheng's attitude behind him? Wang Tong is so arrogant, wouldn't he behave like this to Li Yunsheng? "Li Zi, this is the official uniform of the garrison. Where are you guarding Xuanfu?" Wang Tong asked with a smile. Li Tao's face was even more ashamed, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Wang, after he came back, his father stopped him from going back, and then he delayed his presence-i1!i...r..."

Before Li Tao finished speaking, he suddenly punched hard in his stomach, but Li Hu from behind jumped out of his head and said angrily:

"Lizi, you are no longer friends. Sun Xin and I were busy training troops in Tianjin Wei. But you are the eldest son in Xuanfu. Have you forgotten what we said when we went from the capital to Tianjin Wei!!"

The punch suddenly made people take a few steps in the scales. The personal guards behind Li Tao were shocked. They subconsciously drew their swords and sheathed them. Li Tao's face was embarrassed, but he quickly turned around to stop his subordinates.

Wang Tong heard there, "Don't they know the master, how dare they do this!!" Sun Xin, Ma Sanbiao and his guards also came over, but when Li Tao lowered his voice, he shouted, "Do you know who he is? He is the good friend of Master Long live..." The turbulent guards were stunned and immediately calmed down. Li Tao turned around with a smile and said, "Brother Wang, please invite everyone to the banquet. My father has already set up a banquet..."

Needless to say, high-quality pork, beef, mutton, and various wild game. The seafood that can be seen on the table in Tianjin Wei’s top seats can also be seen at the family dinner of Deputy General Xuanfu Tun Yunsheng. This is really not simple. Although there is no need to worry about rotting seafood in winter, the cost of cars and horses along the way is not known how much money and manpower will be spent.

The plates, silver cups and jade cups of fine porcelain are known to Wang Yun. The scent of the floating fragrance you can smell when you enter the house ten times, the materials used for tables, chairs and furniture, and the value of various decorations. This is not what Wang Tongrei knows.

What's more, the maids and maids who occasionally show up in the mansion are even more handsome than those of the women in the Qinguan. They are dressed in silk and satin, even medium-sized families may not have it. "Lord Li is really enjoying it, but it opens Wang's eyes!"

Wang Tong smiled and raised his glass, but for some reason, he remembered the Xuanzhen soldiers I saw along the way. The cotton coats they were wearing were patched... Please keep your monthly tickets, and it will only start on the 29th. Please vote for me at that time.
