174 Water transport blocked

"Shopkeeper, this soup is good."

"Of course, this is a soup made from a good stone spring."

"Xiao Langzhong, this tea is not bad."

"Well, it's good, Dr. Tea, your tea is hot enough."

"Don't dare to deceive the child, in fact, this tea is average, and chivalrous guests can't afford expensive tea, but the water used to boil tea is a good stone spring, not canal water or well water, it must be good."

People who go to Xia Wei Tang to eat, when they eat in Xia Wei Tang, they hear the words Liang Shi Spring from time to time, and you can also see the notices posted inside, pointing out that the water used to boil tea and soup is the best good good stone spring water.

For a time, Liangshiquan slowly became famous in Chang'an City, many people know that Liangshiquan is delicious to cook and boil tea, that is, the soup is boiled with Liangshishan spring water, and it has become a lot of taste, many guests also come to taste the tea and soup boiled with Liangshiquan.

Lu Ting saw that the effect came out, and launched a new discount in the six branches of Xia Wei Tang, where guests who opened a transfer in Xia Wei Tang or spent more than 300 wen at a time could receive a bucket of Liangshi Mountain Spring Water, which was given on February 20, and could be received at a designated place without taking a penny, and each store was limited to 30 places.

As soon as the event was launched, it was only half a day, and a total of 180 places were all snatched up.

On 20 February, before dawn, the torches at the foot of Liangshiling Mountain were bright, and five specially made waterwheels were lined up, and several retired veterans without clothes were carefully filling the waterwheels.

In order to facilitate transportation, the spring was led to a cistern at the bottom of the mountain.

For the first time to transport water, Lu Ting and Zhang Heng both arrived at the scene.

"Brother Lu, can you really do this idea of selling water?" Zhang Heng still has doubts.

"Okay, just look at it" Lu Ting didn't bother to explain, pointed to those veterans and said, "Boss Zhang, look, these veterans are laughing so happily." ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Finally have a job, can they not be happy." ”

It's just a simple pull-out of water, a hundred wen a day, and breakfast and lunch, breakfast is a bowl of bread and a bowl of dumplings, and lunch is to eat cage rice in Xia Weitang, can you not be happy.

Good and dignified, giving water to others for free, Zhang Heng was a little puzzled, he wanted to persuade Lu Ting to do this, not to mention anything else, the daily material money of the horses pulling water is not a small amount, but seeing the jubilant looks of those old brothers, he still didn't say anything.

Anyway, as long as those old brothers are happy, they can't do business anyway, and they are not afraid of Lu Ting, just do their part.

Lu Ting saw that several waterwheels were almost full of water, so he turned to Zhang Heng and said, "Boss Zhang, this is the first time to carry water, I hope you can accompany them." ”

"Why, are you afraid that the old brother will not recognize the way, or are you afraid that they will abduct your horse?" Zhang Heng was in a good mood and said jokingly.

The water transport team began to operate, and the preparations for the winery were almost ready, which not only meant that more old brothers could be arranged, but also two more ways to make money.

What made Zhang Heng happy was that Lu Ting merged Liangshiquan and the wine shop into the Xia Wei Tang, and did not leave the Wuyi Hall to eat alone, which is extremely rare.

Lu Ting said with some worry: "No, it's a special period, and I don't know if I can enter the city smoothly if I get into a few cars at once." ”

Du Ruhui won the post of household servant, and he could not hide the decline of the Qin Palace's Mansion in Chang'an City, and now the palace, including the guards of Chang'an City, are under the control of the prince, and the Qin Palace's Mansion is at an absolute disadvantage, which is also the reason why Lu Ting handed over the formalities and relationships to Changsun Chong.

If Li Er gains power, it will be enough just to rely on the name of Wuyitang, where is there such trouble.

"Okay, leave it to me." Zhang Heng nodded solemnly.

Chang'an is the Kyoto and largest city of the Tang Dynasty, there are a large number of people in and out every day, sending letters, traveling, transporting goods, everyone has it, the day is not yet dawn, the major city gates are already long queues, all waiting to open the door.

Zhang Heng escorted five waterwheels carrying water, in the line on the right side of Qixiamen, anxiously waiting in the cold wind for release.

There are three doorways in Qixiamen, the doorways on both sides are used as the entrances and exits of goods and goods, and the largest doorway in the middle passes through pedestrians, and the separation of people and goods is implemented.

The main thing is that the goods in and out of Chang'an City must be checked to see if there are contraband, if people and goods are lined up together, it will make pedestrians wait too long.

Yang Zheng is the city gate lang of Qixiamen, responsible for the security of entering and exiting Qixiamen.

As soon as the drum sounded to open the city gate, Yang Zheng urged his soldiers to inspect all kinds of transit stations, customs clearance records, and incoming and outgoing goods step by step.

Now is an eventful time, and the general of the prison gate has repeatedly emphasized that suspicious people must not be allowed to enter Chang'an City.

His subordinates were checking the merchants entering and leaving, and Yang Zheng took a few of his men to patrol back and forth to see if there were any suspicious characters.

When Yang Zheng's gaze inadvertently fell on the team on the far right, his gaze quickly became serious: several people who were a little disheveled and seemed to be a little untidy pulled five brand-new, waterwheel-like carts in line, and immediately led people over.

It's so unconscionable.

Dressed like those few people, they should not be able to afford a carriage, and the big families go outside the city to fetch water, and they also send those who are in good health, and they will not dress so shabby.

In a word, it defies common sense.

"Who are you and what's in it?" Yang Zheng asked as he knocked the carriage with his scabbard.

Duan Xiaoliu, who was in charge of pulling the car, had an injury to his right foot and was a little unfavorable to his body, but fortunately, he could drive the car, so he won a job, and saw Yang Zheng's scabbard hit the waterwheel hard, and the paint of the newly built waterwheel fell off, and his heart was a little painful, and his expression was a little nervous.

Boss Zhang told him many times that he should be careful when driving, this watermill will be a tool to make money in the future, and the brothers' jobs are not easy to build.

At this time, Zhang Heng walked up and arched his hand to Yang Zheng and said: "Yang Menlang, this is my brother, there is mountain spring water in it, there is nothing, thank you for raising your noble hand." ”

When Yang Zheng saw Zhang Heng, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he quickly waved his hand and said: "Zhang Heng, the set is almost useless, a certain is the city gate lang of Qixiamen, who is responsible for inspecting the items that should enter and leave the city, where the duties are, and the official business is offended." ”

After that, he waved his big hand: "Come on, check." ”

If it weren't for Zhang Heng, maybe he would be released after checking it casually, and when he saw Zhang Heng, he must check it carefully.

Duan Xiaoliu's heart ached, and his nervous demeanor made Yang Zheng see that in Yang Zheng's eyes, this was a sign of weakness, and Zhang Heng was a person from King Qin, so he couldn't let it go easily.

The fight between the Prince's Mansion and the Qin Wangfu has long been no secret in Chang'an, and there has long been an order from above to strictly investigate the people or goods related to the Qin Wangfu.

Who made himself the one who was the crown prince?
