Chapter 52 The Four Surnames of Hanyang
Hanyang County, known as Tianshui in ancient times, is the most prosperous and wealthy place in Liangzhou, and it is also the seat of state governance, Longxian.
In the past year, the rise of the Ma family in Longxian County has added another surname to Hanyang itself in addition to the four surnames.
Jiang, Yan, Ren, Zhao, Ma.
The four surnames control the land and slaves, and in the entire Hanyang County, the four surnames below the county guard hold more than half of the official positions. And the Ma family, Ma Teng is the captain, Ma Play is the captain, and Peng Tuo was originally the captain of a county, but he was not allowed to go to his post, which is unrelated to each other.
Although the Ma family's financial resources have grown by leaps and bounds in the past two years, in the final analysis, it is because of the business routes opened by horses, and there is no interest entanglement with them, just competitors, there is some psychological friction, but everyone is polite when they meet, and they are okay on face.
What's more, the four surnames are not monolithic, in the early years, the Ren family had a feud with the Jiang family, and the Yan family and the Zhao family have gradually separated from the Hao family, and the family has cultivated scholars. The relationship between the Yan and Ren families is close, and the relationship between the Zhao and Jiang families is slightly better.
However, since the beginning of this year, when the Yan family intervened in the horse business, everything has changed.
Hanyang County, Xindu County, Yan's ancestral home.
In the big mansion with three entrances in front and back, nearly 100 soldiers practiced hand-to-hand combat on the martial arts field, the locust tree on the right side was shady, and several domestic servants ran up and down with tea.
There are big people in the family today.
In the main hall, there are dancing girls dancing in the hall.
The fourth-generation head of the Yan family, Xindu ordered Yan Zhong to kneel and sit on it, and the two young people knelt and sat upright in the deputy seat not far from him, talking and laughing with each other with slurry water, not caring about the expressions of the few people in the hall.
'What's the matter with this little ghost, Yan Zhong Lao'er actually let him sit on the right, and we are all below. Ren's eldest son, Ren Zhong, sat down, a little unhappy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
In addition to Ren's son-in-law, there are Jiang's son-in-law Jiang Xu and Zhao's son-in-law Zhao Ang.
Jiang Xu is the Xindu Gongcao, and his status is only below Yan Zhong, while Zhao Ang is engaged in Liangzhou and is the magistrate of Pyongyang.
There is a room full of people, and not a single one is white.
It's just a day of rest, otherwise the four surnames of Hanyang would not be able to gather so together.
After the dance, Yan Zhong waved his hand to order the dancer to retreat, chuckled, and said to everyone: "Gentlemen, our four surnames of Hanyang have not gathered so together for a long time." ”
Zhao Ang and the three replied with a smile, because the two young people on the top, several of them have their own thoughts, although Yan Zhong is a famous person in Liangzhou, and he is their senior, but today they all represent their respective families, and they have no intention of being polite with Yan Zhong.
Yan Zhong laughed dryly, picked up the wine lord and said to everyone: "I invited you here today to discuss the matter of horses with you. ”
Zhao Ang said, "Mr. Yan, this horse ...... I don't know what kind of horse it refers to? ”
Ren Zhong smiled and said: "What is this horse and which horse, it is not the same, it is all a horse." ”
"There are two horses in your heart, and the old man knows that what the old man wants to say is these two horses...... To tell the truth, the middle and younger generations of the old man's family went to Caohan and Di Dao a few days ago, and reached an agreement with the Song family and the Didao Wang family to do horse business in Liangzhou, and the old man decided to share a piece of the pie with the family of Zhujun, I don't know what you think? ”
The Song clan of Caohan, the Wang clan of Di Dao is the great man of Xiliang, and the family is based on the era of Duan Ying's conquest of the Qiang people, and its power far exceeds that of the four surnames of Hanyang.
"Is there such a good thing?" Ren Chong raised his eyebrows, and then immediately said with a sad face: "But the horses are now the wealth of the Ma family in Longxian County, which is not appropriate...... Inappropriate. ”
Jiang Xu also said: "Although the horse business can make a hundred gold, if you tear your face with the Ma family because of this...... Jiang Xu shook his head, "It will be a loss-making transaction." ”
Zhao Ang lowered his head as if he hadn't heard their argument and didn't express any opinion.
"Ahem!" The young man on Yan Zhong's left coughed, put the pulp pot on the table, and said with a smile to everyone: "In the Lower Di Dao Kingdom, you can represent the Di Dao royal family, my father attaches great importance to the horse business, as for the Ma family...... No worries. ”
Ren Zhong said: "In the next Ren Chong, I have seen Brother Wang, what Brother Wang said about the Ma family is not to worry, the Ma family is indeed not Erer, but the stability of the Wu family Liang family is not enough to worry?" Or is it not necessary to worry about the Pei family in Hedong, Pei's hand can't reach Liangzhou yet, but if the Liang family waits for me to stumble, but he waved his hand. ”
"Yes, the Liang clan has a lot of influence in the imperial court, but what reason do they have for the Ma clan?" Wang Guo's hand held a few cases and said: "Ma Yue, a student of Liang Tingshi, has already broken away from the Ma clan to stand on his own. They won't care about Ma's, not to mention that we are just trying to make a business route, will they tear their faces with us? ”
"I don't know if Ma Yue's self-reliance portal is true or not." Jiang Xu said: "The brothers of the Ma family have supported each other for several years, and Ma Teng and Ma Zong have taken care of Ma Yue, and they have turned against each other overnight...... I don't believe it. ”
"Even if they don't turn against each other, what can they do, we can bring in a few Qiang marshals, Ma Zong doesn't do the business of the Qiang heroes, they can't fight us." Wang Guo said with a smile: "If the Ma family wants to gain a foothold in Liangzhou but does not make friends with the Qiang people, it will not be possible. ”
"Whew!" At this moment, the young man on Yan Zhong's right laughed, realized that he had lost his temper and hurriedly apologized to the three people in the hall, and then said with a smile: "Don't blame you, the kingdom is a little underestimated, the Ma clan is indeed not friendly with the Qiang people, but the Ma clan still needs the force of the Qiang people?" Which one gathered hundreds of good players in Di Dao to snatch the Wusun horse that Ma brought back from outside the pass, but was beaten to the ground by Ma's guards? ”
Hearing this, Wang Guo's eyes widened, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Song Yang, what do you mean, it's as if you people from Caohan didn't want to rob the Ma clan's caravan. ”
"Indeed, indeed." Song Yang didn't care about arching his hand, and said to the four surnames: "Just last summer, the Ma caravan came back from Zhangye and drove more than a dozen horses from the Western Regions, and some people in the clan wanted to grab it but broke more than 40 people. ”
"Easy as a breeze?" Wang pouted and said, "It's so easy, you can tell me...... Our disadvantage is that the Western Liang Horse can't sell their Western Regions Horse no matter what. ”
"Isn't that easy?" Song Yang glanced at the kingdom in surprise and said, "You waited for them to drive good horses over on the road they had to pass through and cause some horse pits and damage their horses. Hanyang County is the only way for the Ma family, and the four surnames can always do some damage to them, whether it is to investigate or interfere with them. ”
"Humph!" The kingdom sneered at Song Yang: "The Song clan is a good means, and all the bad things have been done for us, so you Song clan can just sell horses." ”
The four surnames were also noncommittal to Song Yang's suggestion, and they all had a feeling in their hearts.
Song Yang chuckled, and then said to the kingdom with a frosty face: "Let you go and destroy the Ma family's horse farm in Zhangjiachuan, do you dare?" ”
"Zhang Jiachuan?" The kingdom was still full of contempt for Song Yang and said: "You dare to say it, who doesn't know that Zhangjiachuan is guarded by the entire army of Qiang Shuai Chengyi, and the past is a death." ”
When Song Yang heard this, he no longer looked at the kingdom, and said to the four surnames: "When I came down, I brought five hundred soldiers and burned the horse farm on the way to Zhangjiachuan. After that, Song Yang looked at the four surnames and the kingdom and said, "Now, all the monarchs know all the plans, and we are just a herd of horses, and no one can run." Don't let me know who has two hearts, otherwise Hanyang has four surnames...... Maybe it's about to become history. ”
