In the second year of Yanhe, the twenty-fifth day of the first month of spring (Gengshen).

Maoling Northeast Park.

In the morning, the roads here have been cleaned, and there are even officials who send people to sprinkle water on the road.

Maoling Ling and Maoling Wei, with the upper and lower officials, waited at the gate of the park early.

And the people of the entire Maoling also moved when they heard the wind, crowding the roads outside the park.

However, in the end, it is Maoling, and the people are different from other places.

Basically, everyone is newly dressed and crowned, even brocade silk is not uncommon.

On both sides of the road, horse-drawn carriages were parked.

There are even two treasure cars made by Xinfeng that are worth thousands of gold, parked on the side of the road.

It is decorated with gold and jade, showing luxury and wealth.

Let all the other carriages be dwarfed and dimmed at once.

Yuan Guangguo sat on the comfortable and spacious bed in the car, holding a book in his hand, reading quietly.

"Lord, Zhang Shizhong and Zhusheng have left Chang'an and are coming to Maoling...... a retainer rode a horse and bowed in front of Yuan Guangguo's car.

"Got it......" Yuan Guangguo nodded and said, "Tell me to go down, be ready to welcome Zhang Zi, and be sure not to make any mistakes!" ”

"Zunnuo!" The retainer bowed down.

Yuan Guangguo put down the book, looked at his beloved son standing beside him, and said with a smile on his face: "Wu'er, this time Zhang Shizhong came to Maoling, be sure to invite my Yuan Lin to be a guest......

Yuan Chang heard this, but shook his head and said, "My son doesn't dare to guarantee ......"

Yuan Guangguo listened, his face changed, but it was not easy to attack.

If someone else took so many benefits from him Yuan Guangguo, he would not dare not listen to and accept some of his 'opinions'.

Even if it is three public and nine secretaries, it is necessary to talk about the Basic Law, right?

However, that person is different.

The Yuan family contributed a lot of money for his business.

He also made countless investments for him.

However......

Nothing is unrewarded!

At the beginning, the bonds undertook have now become a hard currency that countless wealthy and powerful people in Guanzhong are vying to buy.

People who are willing to take over at a premium, I don't know how many!

Because, people found that Xinfeng's finances can fully afford to repay these loans.

And the money lent has brought countless positive reputations to himself and his family.

Now, no one anymore says that he Yuan Guangguo is rich and unkind.

On the contrary, he Yuan Guangguo has a very bright image in the eyes of public opinion.

Some people even call it 'Confucian merchants'.

The benefits are endless.

First of all, the first point is that now the Yuan family's business and shops, there are no more unsightly people who dare to come to the door to fight the autumn breeze.

There is even a local government that invites the Yuan family to do business in the local area.

Then, and the most important thing is that in the New Year, when the Son of Heaven routinely sent envoys to visit the three elders, patriarchs and celebrities in Guanzhong, he sent an envoy to his house for the first time to offer condolences and give gifts.

Although it is very small, it is only one stone of wine, half a stone of meat, and three horses of cloth.

But the political implications revealed by this made Yuan Guangguo want to laugh in his dreams.

At the beginning, he spent tens of thousands of dollars worth of gold and silk cloth to buy the martial arts lord to the ninth-level Zhirong, and the Son of Heaven did not send anyone to condole.

Now, just casually took out tens of millions, and the Son of Heaven sent someone to condole.

The gap in this made Yuan Guangguo sigh!

Not to mention, when I bought a martial artist, I was pouring money outward.

Today's bonds, however, are still appreciating......

The workshop that invested in Xinfeng at the beginning is now Yuan's most important cash cow.

Therefore, when Xinfeng launched a carriage worth thousands of gold, Yuan Guangguo didn't think about it, and immediately asked people to order it - there was no way, he was also panicked in his heart.

I'm afraid that this golden thigh won't take him to play.

Thinking of this, Yuan Guangguo couldn't help but smile and said to Yuan Chang: "My son, sit down and ......."

Yuan Chang looked at his father and sat down tentatively.

Looking at this son, Yuan Guangguo also sighed helplessly, and said, "Wu'er, do you know how my Yuan family is rich?" ”

"My son has vaguely heard of ......" Yuan Chang replied: "It seems that in the Dawan War, my father contracted the sales of the trophies of the second division general......"

"Indeed!" Yuan Guangguo said: "At the beginning, the second division general failed in the initial attack on Dawan, and the army retreated to Dunhuang, and the merchants and merchants scattered with the army for some reason......

Yuan Guangguo recalled the original situation, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent and proud: "And only for my father's knowledge, the second division general will definitely conquer Wan again, and he will definitely win!" ”

"Therefore, not only did not leave the army, but increased investment!"

"Sure enough, the general of the second division finally broke Dawan and returned with his BMW and treasure!"

"For my father, I relied on the soldiers of the army, sold the proceeds of the seizure, and earned tens of thousands of dollars overnight!"

"It's just that after the second division general became famous, he used his clan as Jia, sold it and captured it, and returned to Maoling for his father, and took business as a business!"

Yuan Chang listened, and somewhat understood, what was his father going to say?

It's just that......

He looked at his old father and couldn't help asking: "My lord, my family no longer relies on that arms sales for business, and my family's wealth does not depend on that arms sales!" ”

"Confused!" Yuan Guangguo said angrily: "What's the use of having more money? ”

"The Zhou family of Nahuai City, since the first emperor, has been rich for several generations, with a family of 100,000, and is richer than the princes and kings, but once he angered the Son of Heaven, he was immediately gray!"

"In this world, there is money, but there is nothing!"

"Don't hear it, there is a proverb in the pass: get rich at the end, keep it with your own book, and use everything with force?"

"What's it to be rich?!"

"What's the use of making money?"

Yuan Guang said Chinese earnestly: "If you can't get close to power, get closer to power, it's just a flower in the water......"

"And the longest and most reliable power in the world is military merit!"

"Because of the change of major policies, the courtiers have been promoted and demoted, and the military achievements will last forever!"

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, it has been one hundred and fifty years, plus more than two hundred years since the Qin State of the previous dynasty.

Military merit has always been the strongest, most reliable, and most powerful power.

He is the gold of riches, the brocade of silk, and the pepper of spices.

As long as they are not stupid, everyone will want to get closer, get closer, and give everything for Him!

"My son ......" Yuan Guangguo looked at his only son, and said in a low voice: "Your master will make Wu Heng, for the father's hope, you can follow the left and right, serve in the front, and run in the back......"

Yuan Chang's eyes were stunned, and finally he couldn't resist his father, and nodded: "The kid is willing to try, but he doesn't dare to say that he has succeeded......"

……………………………………

"Maoling is coming!" Zhang Yue lifted the curtain and looked into the distance.

In the distance, the vast and solemn scene of Maoling has come into view.

Maoling is the second largest city and the largest population gathering area of the Han family in Guanzhong.

The population of Maoling is even higher than that of Chang'an—the permanent population alone is as high as 300,000, not counting the craftsmen, prisoners, soldiers, and officials of Maoling.

Therefore, the scale of Maolingyi is no less than Chang'an City.

It has 231 Lu, nearly 80,000 households!

Among them, more than half of the hukou are middle-class or above families.

Millions, tens of millions, tens of thousands of families, countless.

As a result, Maoling has become the richest city in the world.

However, compared with the Maoling Garden in the west, Maolingyi is as small as an ant.

Since the second year of its construction, when the site was selected in Maoling, this great project has lasted for 45 years and will continue to be built.

So much so that when Zhang Yue raised his eyes, he could see the Maoling Tomb standing in the distance.

Since Emperor Gao, the Han family has been 12 zhang high in all dynasties, but it is unique to be the main mausoleum of Zimao Mausoleum today, which is 14 zhang high.

From a distance, it looks like a real mountain.

Zhang Yue exhaled slowly and shook his head in his heart.

Since Emperor Gao, the old Liu family has vigorously invested in the imperial tomb to achieve the policy goal of 'strengthening the capital and weakening the end'.

At the same time, because of the Han family's prevalent idea of 'serving death as if serving life', the emperor's tombs usually did not hesitate to spend money.

Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, one-third of the Han family's annual income has been invested in Maoling!

For more than 40 years, the cumulative investment in Maoling even exceeded the total expenditure of the Han-Hungarian War.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Emperor Yuan couldn't afford to play with the ancestral mausoleum system, so he had to abandon it.

In the future, if Liu Jin ascends the throne, with his character, he will probably not play this kind of mausoleum system that costs people and money and offends people.

"I have to think of a way to preserve the ......system of moving tombs in the future," Zhang Yue thought to himself.

The Lingyi system is very costly, and ordinary people really can't afford to play, so don't play it.

However, the relocation system is a good government that benefits a hundred generations and benefits the world!

It can be said that in the early and middle period of the Western Han Dynasty, the fundamental reason why social contradictions could be alleviated and the people could still endure was the system of moving tombs.

Emperor Liu, year after year, day after day, forcibly relocated the world's powerful, wealthy merchants, and nobles to the imperial tomb.

This makes it impossible for the local government to form a force of village sages that can compete with the government.

When the magistrate encounters someone who can't figure it out, he can stuff it into the list of moving tombs.

Today, more than ninety percent of the 300,000 people in Maoling are wealthy and powerful aristocratic families who moved from Tianxia Prefecture and County.

"If the imperial mausoleum project shrinks, the relocation system will definitely be abandoned...... Zhang Yue thought in his heart: "I must think of a way to change the name of the relocation system......"

But for a while, there really wasn't any good idea.

After all, the system of moving tombs is a wonderful creation.

Under the banner of guarding the tomb of the Son of Heaven, whoever is unwilling is disloyal!

can change the name, it is not so powerful.

It will also lose its mandatory source of jurisprudence.

Thinking about this, the carriage had already driven to the gate of the Mao Cemetery.

The officials of Maolingyi, who had been waiting here for a long time, rushed up and bowed one after another: "The lower officials and others greet the servant Zhonggong and welcome all the gentlemen!" ”

Near the left, countless onlookers stretched their necks and focused their eyes.

Everyone wants to witness the legendary Zhang Chiyou who has eyes in the forehead, and even typhoid fever can be eliminated and eliminated.

And under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Yue lifted the prostitute Yao Jian on his waist and stepped out of the carriage.

As a result, it immediately sparked endless discussions.

"Why doesn't Zhang Chiyou have three heads and six arms?" A childish child asked the elders puzzled: "Aye, you liar!" ”

"That's because Zhang Chiyou is not angry now, and he has received supernatural powers...... the elder explained embarrassedly: "If Zhang Chiyou is angry, the eyes between the foreheads will be opened, and naturally there will be three heads and six arms, and the ghosts and gods will be easy to ......."

At this point, even they themselves began to believe this statement.

The news of Chang'an will not deceive people.

Zhang Zizhong in the service, the power of the world, invincible in the world, is something that countless people have seen with their own eyes.

Such a character, of course, will not casually show his might.

And more people are talking to each other, full of confusion.

Zhang Zizhong in the waiter, why did he look at Wenwen quietly, with a kind face, not like the legendary appearance?

On the contrary, he is similar to a literati, and he looks weak.

Although there is a saying that a man should not be a face.

But this is too heavy to be good-looking, right?

However, the rangers of Maoling were all excited, and shouted loudly towards Zhang Yue: "Zhang Shizhong Gonghou Wandai!" ”

For the rangers, the righteousness is the greatest!

And Zhang Yue once saved their eldest brother Zhu Anshi, which is equivalent to saving them!

………………

Zhang Yue naturally heard the people's discussions and the shouts of the rangers.

However, he turned a deaf ear and kept smiling, for Hanchen, in the face of the people's discussion and even scolding in person, and his face did not change, which is the basic skill.

I can't even stand this, so don't come to be an official!

After Dong Yue, Chu Da, Ying Gong and others gradually got out of the car, Zhang Yue stepped forward and joined everyone.

Then, surrounded by Maolingyi and Maoling officials, enter the mausoleum area from the gate of Maolingyuan.

"Dong Shi's mound, on the south side of the northeast of Maoling......" Chu Da walked with a cane, and introduced to Zhang Yue: "In the first year of Taichu, Dong Shi passed away, and the Son of Heaven was gracious, and Dong Shi was allowed to accompany the burial of Maoling......"

"This is the highest glory! Han family scribes, independent directors and teachers won this honor......"

Zhang Yue listened and nodded.

In later generations, the tomb of Dong Zhongshu was believed to be in the Xiama Mausoleum in the south of Chang'an City.

Even Cihai and Ciyuan made this mistake.

However, after crossing, Zhang Yue learned that Dong Zhongshu's tomb was in Maoling, and it was dozens of miles away from Dong Zhongshu's tomb as later generations.

I am afraid that this misunderstanding has been caused by false rumors over countless years.

But......

At this moment, everyone suddenly stopped.

Stood on the side of the road to avoid a group approaching ahead.

Hundreds of gray-haired, crutches, or young men walked slowly along the road, under the protection of an army, from afar.

"These are the veterans who came to offer incense to the champion Jing Henghou...... Looking at this team, far away, Dong Yue said in a low voice: "The champion Jing Henghou is the heir, so every year there are veterans from the county of the world, and they are here for the longevity ......of Jing Henghou."

Zhang Yue listened, in awe, and deeply shocked.

"Some are alive and have died, and some are dead but still alive......"

"Champion Jing Henghou will always live in people's hearts......"

Zhang Yue said in a deep voice: "I hope that after a hundred years, although my corpse is decayed, someone can still remember my name......

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

This is the ultimate dream pursued by the literati.

Taishang Lide, followed by meritorious service, followed by words, are the pursuit of immortality and immortality.

And Huo Quzhi has obviously done this.
