Chapter 882: Rising to the Challenge
Lan Qianzhen asked:
"Huh? Why is that? ”
Peach Road:
"Naturally, because paper money can go directly to Taicang to buy grain, people can make money by exchanging five cents of silver for paper money to buy grain."
Lan Qianzhen smiled:
"Therefore, the people who rushed to run on the money here just exchanged paper money from the money bank and then went to the countryside to exchange for silver, making the difference in price."
Peach Road:
"That's right, I heard that someone earned three hundred taels in one day the day before yesterday."
Lan Qianzhen had already understood when he heard this, he didn't bother to look at the Diao people blocking the road in front of him, these people's opportunistic behavior made him nauseous. So Lan Qianzhen turned around and took the convoy to detour to other streets. But other streets are not easy, where there is a Cao family money village, the road is blocked, even with several streets next to it to follow the walk is not smooth, the pedestrians on the street are extremely excited, those who have the heart to change the banknotes are squeezed to drill forward, and those who do not want to make this money are also discussing the topic of paper money, Lan Ziyi also found that the traders on the street are mixed with cash and paper money when trading, and the transaction of roughly counting paper money actually accounts for half, or even more, everyone in the capital seems to have fallen into a kind of mystery frenzy, People's enthusiasm was inexplicably ignited, and the people of the capital turned into dry and smoking dry wood one by one, and without looking back, they filled themselves into the fire and went to the stove to arch the fire of paper money.
After spending a lot of effort, Lan Qianzhen finally led his convoy out of the city, and when he left the city, it was already three poles in the sun, which was an hour and a half before Lan Qianzhen's plan was completed. Lan Qianzhen raised his hand to shade the sun and looked up at the Heavenly Dao:
"It's already this time to leave the city before I think about it, and I'm going to rush to the captain's house at noon."
Lan Ziyi wiped his sweat and smiled:
"Father still plans to go to Taiwei's house to eat?"
Lan Qianzhen put down his hand and said:
"I was planning to kneel at the door of the Taiwei Mansion for an afternoon and finally go back before the city gate closed, and now it seems that you and my father and son can only kneel at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion all night."
Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:
"Dad, you're not kidding, are you?"
Lan Qianzhen said:
"You'll know if it's a joke later."
Hu Yanhao said:
"I know if I don't know, I'll have to wait to meet the captain, I just know that now we have to find a place to rest and have lunch by the way, the street was crowded and hot just now, and the brothers had to work hard to get the car over."
Lan Qianzhen looked back at the panting soldiers, he swallowed and nodded at the mouth:
"Yes, it's time for lunch."
Then Lan Qianzhen looked at the ruins outside the city gate:
"It's just that when the chaos was quelled, the houses outside the east gate were burned down along with the chaotic campland, how can it be so easy to eat now?"
After that, Lan Qianjin roared:
"Da Lang, Erlang, do you know where to eat around here?"
Peach Chase Tiger Road:
"Taiwei Manor is in the southeast of the city, there are many villages and towns in the middle of the current road, the nearest one is eight miles away from here, as long as there are no rioters, we can go there to find food."
Tao Zhulu added:
"This road connects to Huzhou and Yuhang, and there are many messengers and merchants, and there must be restaurants in the village, and there will be food when you enter the village."
Lan Qianzhen laughed when he heard this:
"Well said, based on your words, I know that you have already figured out the vicinity of the capital, and with the two of you here, I can rest assured that Ziyi is in the capital. Walk, go eight miles, settle down in the village and rest! ”
Everyone received the order to sing, and the group also hurried to the horse. Without the crowded convoy of people in the city, they quickly arrived in the village, and the Bali Village outside the city that Tao Zhuhu said was not affected by the riots, and everyone was able to go on the road again after eating and drinking, but to everyone's surprise, the store gave Lan Qianzhen and them change when they escaped from the banknotes issued by Cao Ji. The shopkeeper was surprised when he saw Lan Qianzhen, and added with a smile:
"Looking at the extraordinary bearing of several old men and their northern accents, you must be nobles in the capital. The nobleman is from the capital, and he knows that this paper ticket is worth more than the copper plate, and the villain does not dare to deceive the nobleman, so he will find it for you. “
Lan Qianzhen didn't say much, put away the change and went back on the road, but on the way, Lan Qianzhen teased:
"I didn't change this new thing in the capital, but I actually got it in the hands of an old farmer in the countryside, it's really a novelty."
Lan Qianzhen's estimate was right, even if the convoy moved quickly after leaving the city, it was almost dusk when they arrived at Taiwei's house, even if the visit was smooth today, Lan Qianzhen could only spend the night outside the city, and it was impossible to return to the city.
Seeing that there was the gate of Taiwei Manor in front of him, Lan Qianzhen called a pro-soldier and said:
"You go back to the village just now, and find a room where the shop has set up a resting room and forage, and we have to spend the night there."
The soldiers took the order and left, and Peach Chase Rabbit interjected and asked:
"General, you're here to give gifts, it's impossible for the old man to not even leave you a place to rest, right?"
Lan Qianzhen sneered:
"Still want to rest? I won't even have a drink of cold water today. Look at it. “
While speaking, everyone was almost at the door of Zhang's mansion, Lan Qianzhen slipped off the saddle from a distance, and rushed forward, and the others were left behind by Lan Qianzhen, caught off guard, so they had to follow a dismount and rush forward, and when they arrived at the door, everyone caught up, Lan Ziyi approached his father and asked in a whisper:
"Dad, what are you doing here? If you want to get off the horse, tell us in advance? “
Who knew that Lan Qianzhen didn't care about his son at all, he stood in front of the door of Zhangfu by himself, and after arranging it, Lan Qianzhen pushed away the front hem of his shirt, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the closed gate of Zhangfu, and said while kowtowing to Lan Qianzhen:
"Junior Lan Qianzhen came to visit Lord Taiwei!"
The others opened their mouths in shock when they saw Lan Qianzhen kneeling, and in a hurry, they could only follow one kneeling and kowtowing, and the scene was very embarrassing.
Everyone kowtowed under the leadership of Lan Qianzhen and fell to the ground, but the gate of Zhang's mansion was tightly closed, and there was no sign of loosening. Lan Qianzhen lay on the ground and waited for a while, but when he didn't see any movement inside, he got up and bowed again, kowtowed, and said:
"The junior Lan Qianzhen came to visit the captain, and he prepared a slight courtesy, which was not a tribute, and asked the captain to open the door and smile!"
The others were prepared this time, and followed Lan Qianjin for a round of worship, but after this round, the gate of the Taiwei Mansion still did not move, and there was no intention of opening it at all. Peach Rabbit, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help it, and he muttered in a low voice:
"General, who are we, who is he, no matter how senior he is, he is just a veteran who is idle, you are the commander of the feudal town who leads hundreds of thousands of troops, why should you kneel for him? He was still kneeling at the door and couldn't even see the faces of the people inside, how could he do this? “
Lan Qianzhen once knelt down, and he scolded Tao Zhutu in a low but stern tone:
"San Lang, don't be rude! No matter how high my title is, I am still a junior, and I should kneel here. I told you a long time ago that I won't be able to lead a good face today, since you are here together, shut up and follow me well, and talk less nonsense! “
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he hurriedly pulled the peach and rabbit secretly, signaling him not to talk more, but Lan Qianzhen raised his hand and thanked him again:
"The junior Lan Qianzhen came to visit the Taiwei, he should have come early, but he was too late because of the idle affairs in the capital, please forgive the Taiwei!"
Lan Qianzhen's shouting this time was exchanged for movement inside, only to hear someone inside reply:
"Since it's late, I won't use it, please go back on behalf of my father!"
When Lan Qianzhen heard the people inside speak, he immediately felt happy in his heart, and he hurriedly said:
"The younger generation is already rude, how dare you say goodbye? Please open the door and let me in to offer a gift. “
