Volume II Bianliang Mistake Chapter 171 Lei Zhen (5)(1/2)
On the second day of the second month of the sixth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, the dragon raised its head.
Every day, every family in Bianliang City needs to renovate dragon beard noodles and dragon scale cakes, and make dragon teeth dumplings to spend this flower festival. Drinking Tusu wine is the last day, and after this day, it will be warmer every day. Drinking Tusu again will be a bit inappropriate.
On February 2nd day, the dragon raised its head as a festival to pray for good weather during the farming season. However, at this moment, Bianliang can be used to make every solar term to make everyone clean up food and go out to have fun. It is a bit different from the fact that after the economic development of the Celestial Empire in the later generations, they would change the foreign and earth festivals and try their best to play with them.
Today is a rare good weather. There are crowds everywhere in the streets and alleys of Bianliang. Some romantic children have already changed into spring clothes, wearing flowers on their hair, and walking through the crowd, looking dashing and admiring. It has attracted the eyes of many girls. Seventy-two main stores and chicken feather shops in the alleys, Tusu wine is quickly consumed like Tianhe. The Song Dynasty wine has a monopoly system, but Tusu wine can be regarded as a winter drink, which has always been unstoppable. After today, it will be too much to sell. Why shouldn't you clear the inventory while you are today?
Although the court was as chaotic as a pot of porridge, there was smoke and fire in Hedong and the military affairs were caused, and even the important towns in Taiyuan were in chaos. However, in the sixth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, the city was covered with fragrant clothes and hair, and the city was filled with the smell of Tu Su.
The residence of the Dongshuiguan Vehicle and Shipping Wharf outside Bianliang City was also set up in a village store today.
Although this store is a village store, the place is quite large, with several entry points. It has always been a business of merchants. Anyone who does this kind of business can't eat anything good, and there is no need to bother to hire an excellent chef. As long as the place is spacious and can accommodate people, it will be successful.
When Fenghe was in winter, even ghosts were not coming to the store in this village. However, today it was a rare hustle and bustle. After several entry into the room, the table was set up, and chickens and fish were piled up. A jar of Tusu wine was also placed on the table. Dozens of dock workers borrowed the five-eyed stove in the store and repaired it at home. The five stoves were burning, making it impossible for the people who were holding the spoon to wear a single piece of clothing.
In the yard in front of the kitchen, there are also some small workers who suck sheep there. They all chose Shanghao Hezhou castrations. They grew up with frost-beating grass, and there was no fishy smell at the entrance. These sheep were shouted alive before winter and passed by the winter. Each head was sold at a high price of two or three stagnant, and no one dared to ask. In order to kill the sheep, they also hired a special master. The famous thing is that they can completely drain the blood of the sheep with just one knife.
Now this fat master Gao doesn't wear a hat. Just as he was just sharpening his knife, more than a dozen dock workers who had been trying to catch a move around and watched the fun. They were just waiting for the master to take action.
This scene is unprecedentedly covered in a poor place like Dongshui Pass. Many idle men are pointing around in the distance, just swallowing their saliva. But no one dares to come forward to disturb them.
There is no other reason. Today's scene was bought by Grandpa Chen Wu Po, who dares to cause trouble in front of him?
Chen Wupo was originally a powerful character in Dongshui Pass, with a hundred and ten desperate workers under his command. He was considered generous. At Dongshui Pass, all the people in the market wanted to sell him three points of face.
It was fine before, but in the past few months, Chen Wupo has gone up to the next level. He has a bigger hand and a more generous demeanor. In addition to the 100 small workers, he has recruited many brothers. The monthly fee assigned to him by Dongshuiguan Vehicles and Shipping Service is a fixed number. If there are too many people, Chen Wupo has to post his own book. In the past, it is difficult for him to get a sign on the dock to have a meal. Now Chen Wupo doesn't care at all and has raised so many idle people in vain.
Most of these newcomers were from guarding the Imperial Guards in the past. Who doesn’t know that the people guarding the Imperial Guards are pitiful, but they just hide it from the official family in the Imperial Guards. Now Chen Wupo is fully responsible for the most difficult food and clothing among the Imperial Guards. The most miserable people in the Dongshui Pass, who would not praise Chen Wupo’s loyalty with his thumb?
With more brothers under his command, he became more powerful. In addition, he was also more powerful. Chen Wupo became a hero in the Dongshui Pass area. Even if he inspected the rivers and led the river imperial guards, he would greet him politely when he met.
Everyone speculated in private that what kind of noble man this devastated man had met and became prosperous immediately?
After thinking about it, there was no accurate news. However, today's scene was real. These dozens of tables were placed, and there was no hundreds of stagnant left in their waists. This was already the demeanor of a wealthy family. Chen Wupo, who was so lucky, was so luxurious! He became more and more curious about what kind of person he was standing behind him.
At this moment, Chen Wupo was wearing a long dress and wearing the usual juggling head of Wu Chen, and was standing at the door of the village shop, greeting the invited guests.
Today, in addition to more than 300 men under his command, he also invited hundreds of former guards who had been in contact with each other and had a lot of kinship. These people still had a job, and could fool their stomachs tightly, so they didn't come to Chen Wupo to eat the pier. Today, they simply invited them all.
The poor treat the guests, so there is not so much etiquette. They have to prepare a post a few days ago. They sent someone to invite him the day before, so they had to take someone to the banquet.
For these former guards of the Imperial Army, it was difficult for winter and there was no oil or water in their stomachs. The family should be sold out. Just wait for the merchants who were traveling to Bianliang to arrive in the spring and the various service industries were restored, so they could get some full meals and redeem their belongings, waiting for the winter to go to pawn them.
When Chen Wupo treats a meal, even if he sends someone to greet him after the banquet, he will just pull out his feet.
These people came together. No matter how shabby the person came, Chen Wupo laughed loudly and greeted him loudly, and he couldn't wake up with a smile. He held one casually and asked with a smile: "Liu Yi, but he still looked unlucky, and he couldn't wake up every day. In the past, he worked as a worker in the same camp, but because you slept a lot, everyone was missed and everyone was beaten by military sticks. He was a lot of sleepy young, and now he is in his thirties. Why is it still like this?"
Liu Yi, who was caught by him, smiled bitterly: "I have to take care of the silversmith in the city, and I have to take care of the stove. The work is heavy and energy-consuming. There is no dealer in winter, so our stove is not a name. Who would come to make hairpins and rings in Bianliang? There is no business in the winter, not only does it have no wages, but also no supplementary food. When I go home to eat myself, I can only make a lot of water. If I don't sleep more, who can withstand it? Who is better than Brother Chen Wu, who has such good luck..."
He said, looking at Chen Wupo's bright face with jealousy: "…………………… We are really hard when we go to guard the imperial guards. We lost our livelihood in Bianliang for a few years, and when we returned, the famous grain was retired. It turned out that the generals were unwilling to be involved with us, just because we were afraid that we would go back to the camp to work. How many troubles will happen? No one will take care of us, so we can only endure hard...… But the fifth brother met a noble man. I can't stand this day. I also asked the fifth brother to point out the clear road. I and the dozens of brothers who were working hard in the furnace, making fire and hammers every day, with all my strength. I have a bad life, so what else can't I go out?"
Chen Wupo nodded and lowered her voice: "Let's go in first, and I'll talk later. Today I'll give you a way to go."
Liu Yi had a lot of contacts with Chen Wu Po a few days ago, and he was a little conscious of it. He agreed and went in. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. Today, Chen Wu Ge made such a big scene. Do you really have to be a good person? I don't know who the noble person behind Chen Wu Ge is?
As soon as Liu Yi left, Chen Wupo grabbed another person and pounded his chest hard. This was a man with wide shoulders and wide back, one head taller than ordinary people. He was a wider set.
"……… Wei Hu'er. I'm afraid I'm not enough for you to prepare a slag for you. I'm not going to eat well today. I'll come to my brother's door tomorrow. I'll prepare it again, so I'll always let you have the best time."
There were a few people following behind the big man named Wei Hu'er. They were all grown men. Their clothes were all bad. They looked like they were doing well. Now, everyone looked sad and sniffed at the smell of wine and meat floating out of the village shop.
Wei Hu'er snorted muffled: "Fifth Brother Gao Yi! I have nothing to say. Now no one wants our strength. If the fifth brother can use it, I will sell it to the fifth brother!"
These were the ones who used to defend the imperial guards, but later they grew up and entered various clubs. They relied on their slaughtering and ate every day. It turned out that when the club was booming, their lives were still pretty good. Later, because of the football market, the business of the club was not as good as before. Those who became monks halfway were naturally the first to be resigned. After a winter, they had been hungry for a few times.
There are also some of the Bianliang Pushe who are part-time business. They have always been a move if they have money. Chen Wupo's face is wide, and Wei Hu'er and others are determined to surrender. The people in the Pushe who are used to lawless activities, as long as they can afford to support them, they will be willing to do whatever Chen Wupo asks them to do.
Chen Wupo beat two and let Wei Huer and his group enter. Then he began to greet people, such as those who combed their heads, those who burned the stove, those who helped the shop, those who transported water, those who picked vegetables, those who helped the gambling shops, those who worked as bodyguards in the vashes, those who guarded the river, those who fought, those who burned the burials, and those who sold food......... All three hundred and sixty rows were all. They were all guarding the imperial guards.
On that day, the five or sixty thousand soldiers were selected from the city of Bianliang, many of which were passed down by their fathers throughout their lives, and they made some great contributions to the Song Dynasty. They were preparing to become elite troops to defend the capital. It is rare that the children of the imperial guards who are willing to fight now have become peddlers, engaged in various low-court vocations, and have lived hard in the city of Bianliang!
All the people invited by Chen Wupo were brave and hard to survive, and could influence dozens of brothers. For a time, people were coming and going, and the sounds were noisy and chaotic. The Dongshuiguan Wharf, which was deserted all day, was disturbed in chaos.
Chen Wupo was circling among the crowd, talking loudly and lol, looking generous as a rich man in the city. However, no one expected that under Chang Sizhao's long clothes, he was already soaked in cold sweat.
Today is the day when Xiao Xianmo is about to launch...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this situation, naturally, some people also reported it to the Gongwei Doctor who was in charge of Dongshuiguan Vehicles and Shipping, and the commander of the Japanese army's left wing, left army commander Chang Sizhao.
The docks are full of strong men. They are afraid that they will cause trouble in winter. Chang Sizhao commanded the place and is also responsible for suppressing the situation. There are still a few ears and ears under his command. Today, these ears and ears are quite responsible, and they reported the news to Chang Sizhao early.
Chang Sizhao set up a family banquet in the flower hall at this moment, which was also a scene of wealth and honor.
This Chang General was naturally the person who was bribed by Xiao Yan's bonds of 300,000 yuan.
He was originally a man who lived a life with Gao Qiu's thick legs. He had no ambitions and could do it as long as he lived a peaceful and wealthy life. Gao Qiu could not afford it, so the gate generals of the gate counterattacked him. It turned out that the few sources of wealth he was in charge had to be given out. His income dropped sharply, but the gate was still supported.
You have to spend money to at least maintain your current status. Don’t be driven out of the capital’s access control group by others. If you are transferred to Hedong, Hebei, it will be a life.
The source dropped sharply, and there were many places where money was spent. Chang Sizhao lived a hard life these days. His wife and concubines at home were very tangled with General Chang, which made General Chang miserable.
However, all these hard days were completely changed because of the 300,000 bonds offered by Xiao Yan.
For Xiao Yan, the bonds of 300,000 yuan were actually not costly. The interest rate given to Chang Sizhao was not the highest. It was just one cent and two cents a year. It was paid 36,000 yuan a year.
The effect of buying Chang Sizhao with 36,000 guan is really cheap. If Xiao Yan accomplishes a big thing, it is worth spending much money - he got the money for nothing. If Xiao Yan fails to accomplish a big thing, what's the use of leaving so much money?
But for Chang Sizhao, the 300,000 yuan bond was of great use. After getting it, Chang Sizhao sent out the 50,000 yuan bond. He immediately bought a good deal from his closest confidant next to a certain Taiwei, and promised not only that he would remain unchanged, but after the court was stable, he would have to seek a better assignment for him.
I sold 50,000 yuan in the private market. I bought more than 57,000 yuan in real income. I still had to pay for it. I paid the bill at the end of the year and took the money perfunctorily. This year I immediately became rich and rich.
The rest was paid 100,000 yuan to the wife of the main house, and she was responsible for the cost of the family. Chang Sizhao had already stated that he was allowed to pay only interest and not to make the capital. Ten thousand yuan a year was allowed to cover all the cost of the family. He often refused to take out a penny for the main house. If there were too much or too little, it was all the cost of the main house.
The last 100,000 yuan bond is naturally the one who often spends his own private money. He can use it as much as he wants. With this wealth at his waist, it is like a few flower buds. He raised it from a tile and charming little girl. It is also easy to do if she is a pretty and charming girl. Speaking of it, he has not been generous in women for a long time......
In short, Chang Sizhao was satisfied with his life this year. On February 2nd, the dragon raised his head. After the family dinner, Chang General, who was a little troubled by a group of wives and concubines, felt that he was not overwhelmed, and set up a table in the flower hall. Don’t serve him. He invited his deputy who had been following his family to help, one person and four corners to slap Su, and the fish sashimi fish that broke the ice surface and drank it himself, and talked about the man’s own career. Before he knew it, the wine of the two corners had already gone down, and the wine was slightly drunk, which was indescribable.
His deputy was also a general. His delegation was to support a Sandu Yuhou envoy of the Japanese army. Now he was helping Chang Sizhao in charge of Dongshui Passenger Vehicles and Shipping. Seeing Chang Sizhao's sudden transfer, he was also jealous. He didn't know how much he said today. Now he was narrowing his drunken eyes and couldn't help but ask again: "It's better to be the general. Taiwei Gao loves to be honest, and now he has a relationship with Taiwei He. He can stretch everywhere. I don't have such skills. No wonder I have to take action for the general. I haven't said that in the future. I'll hold the horse and hold the stirrup for the general. Please take care of the general."
Chang Sizhao also glanced at the drunken eyes, Zhi smiled with satisfaction: "He Guan is very square in his face, but those around him who were brought back from Hedong were suppressed by Taiwei Gao for a long time. In his eyes, don't you just recognize the copper coins for payment? As long as you are not vegetarian, there is a way. Brother, I have seen through it. What is the hope of leading troops to fight? We brothers don't expect to fall more on this. It's true that we used to be a good job for Taiwei Gao, and we sent them a lot of benefits, but what's the result? One wrong, we can't say we have to rush to Hedong, Hebei - Hebei, isn't Hedong a place where people go? Now it's just a sea of swords and fire. I don't know how deep the water is. If we go, we can't even have bones left!"
The deputy nodded affectionately and poured a cup for Chang Sizhao: "It's better to say the lord, it's better not to say it now, no one can understand it. It's still the wealth... It's said that Taiwei Gao will be unable to afford it in the past few days. Should we come to serve him?"
Chang Sizhao was stunned, and then slowly shook his head: "What else are you going to do? Are you looking for bad luck? In the present world, everyone will take care of everyone. Pingyan's Shenwu Changsheng Army has a great achievement, and I don't know what the end will be. Gao Taiwei has also started and ended well. The saints have the honor and honor to take care of themselves, so we don't have to cause trouble anymore... Alas, people are so ruthless, they can't get up in one breath, and they have nothing left. It's better to take care of today and lie down drunk under the flowers!"
The deputy nodded again and said a few words of emotion: "……… Speaking of Shenwu Changsheng Army, Xiao Xianmo is said to be not good, and he saved it regardless of his ability to make money. He has issued so many bonds. The connection is so wide that if there is anything to do with this, the whole of Bianliang will be shocked... I am not lucky enough to buy this thief's bond. It is said that the interest is really heavy. In this world, I don't feel at ease with how much money I have in my hands. After buying land, I can't buy land near Bianliang. Where can I buy land? If I buy far away, I can't handle it. It's easy to release it in the shop. If I don't want to be willing to throw it away in my hands, I can't accept it. How can I buy bonds and make a lot of profits? According to my opinion, Xiao Xianmo is born with such a background and is just enough to manage finances for the official family, but I may have a chance."
Chang Sizhao just deliberately only mentioned the name of the Shenwu Changsheng Army without mentioning Xiao Yan. Now the deputy said it straight, and the muscles on his face jumped.
The 300,000 guan was really easy to use. It was a big deal. The current situation was changing. It was not something that he, a military official, could understand.
A great tide began to stir up, and Hedong suddenly became chaotic. It is said that Xiao Yan was inseparable from the Shenwu Changsheng Army. The Song Dynasty officials were involved in the matter of protecting themselves by strong soldiers, not to mention that Xiao Yan was born in Nangui. All parties in the court attacked him one after another, and Cai Jing ignored him. Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to fall, the result was that he was forced to protect the saint. It is said that he had something to do with the three kings.
Even if the previous level has passed, Xiao Yan's loyalty has not declined. However, the chapter attacking Xiao Yan is still one after another. The saint also asked Yin Xiang to take charge of Ying Fengtian's family's wealth and affairs. Who doesn't know that Yin Xiang and Xiao are against him? In this way, the saint does not seem to want to protect Xiao. But the news spread on the market is that Xiao's status is as stable as Mount Tai, and the bond market has even risen slightly - this is the news released in the ban, which is very reliable.
He, Chang Sizhao, took such a big bribe from Xiao Yan!
Sometimes when I dreamed at midnight, I remembered what Xiao Yan said when I met secretly. Chang Sizhao would be awakened if he asked him to do anything.
What exactly do this Nanlaizi want to stir up the storm in Bianliang? Will he be involved in this connection?
Xiao Yan asked him to take the money and encourage the military man to act, no matter whether it was for his own family or for whom. Chang Sizhao didn't think about doing it at all. However, he wouldn't even kill him even if he asked him to withdraw the 300,000 yuan.———I was really scared when I was in a difficult life.
In what direction will this situation develop? What is the final result of this person surnamed Xiao?
Sometimes Chang Sizhao's head hurts, but it still has no result. In the end, he can only mention Xiao Yan and Xiao Xianmo, who are already the center of the Bianliang trend, as if he had never heard of such a person before or behind him.
His deputy raised it casually, and Chang Sizhao looked ugly and wanted to beat him perfunctorily. At this time, he heard footsteps outside the flower hall. Chang Sizhao looked up and saw that Chengqi, the manager of his mansion, rushed towards him.
Speaking of this servant who was in charge of the affairs of his mansion, he was also a general in the Song army. He was in full swing and serving Chang Sizhao in his mansion. It is not surprising that he is currently in the Song army.
With these two identities, he is also considered to be the confidant of Chang Sizhao. He can report back to Chang Sizhao's study directly. He will do whatever secret matters he has to do.
The Song Dynasty Imperial Army General and Deacon Chengqi of Changfu rushed into the flower hall. After glanced at the few servants who were attending him, he quietly left the flower hall. He looked at the deputy general sitting opposite Chang Sizhao, and his face showed a look of two or three embarrassment.
Chang Sizhao was drinking a little too much, and at this time he waved his hand and smiled: "Where are there outsiders here? Who else can Qiao Mo show him? Report anything if you have anything to do!"
The manager agreed and bowed and reported: "Master, Chen Wupo, under the shipping service, had a big banquet today. In addition to hundreds of small workers at the dock, hundreds of people of all kinds gathered, all of whom were from guarding the imperial guards. Now, the general is in trouble at Dongshui Pass. Should we care about this matter?"
Chang Sizhao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had not spoken yet. His own deputy waved his hand and stood up: "Is this guy Chen Wupo going to make a big deal? He gathered so many people and wanted to have something wrong? The thief was all unlucky people guarding the imperial guards. It would be a big deal if he caused trouble! The lord, there is no need to work on you. I will go and rush to let them disperse. The lord just sit here and wait for my good news!"
Chang Sizhao was responsible for the handling of the ships. He was naturally responsible. The water gate was strong and strong. Now, hundreds of strong men were fine in winter, and they were afraid that they would have something to do. They had to stare at each other every day. The deputy general responded like this. It was exactly what he should do. Even if the army was in disarray, there were dozens of soldiers who could fight around the two generals who thought they were backbones of force, and they went to patrol and suppress them with guns and knives. Generally speaking, there was no big problem.
Although this deputy was drunk, the official business was still not slow. Not to mention that these gathered people were guarding the Imperial Guards. Who among the Imperial Guards knew that guarding the Imperial Guards was a scar that could not be removed? If it was a big deal, Chang Sizhao seemed to have a backer now, but he said he would not charge to Hedong to catch the snow and mingle with the gods of the Killing Gods of the Shenwu Changsheng Army!
As soon as he got up, Chang Sizhao jumped up, walked around quickly, and grabbed him: "Let's wait!"
Chang Sizhao was fat and his usual movements were slow, but his actions were indescribable. He was shocked by both of them in the flower hall. Both of them turned their heads and looked at him in a daze: "Master?"
Chang Sizhao's muscles twitched, sweating like rain, as if he had made the most painful choice. In this way, the other two were frightened. He greeted him in a series of continuous yelling: "Master.Master?"
The thief's guarding the imperial guards!
After Xiao Yan gave Chang Sizhao a while that night, he just sent a letter in secret, with only a few words on it. Apart from perfunctory greetings, the important thing is one sentence.
"…………But those under the general have those who come from the Imperial Army to act, but please take full care of each other."
After receiving the letter, Chang Sizhao threw the letter away like he was bitten by a scorpion. He quickly burned it again. But this sentence was engraved in his heart and could never get rid of it.
Xiao Yan. Guards the Imperial Guard.
Both of these things are unaffected, but my family is involved in them!
To be continued...
