Chapter 477: Emergency Recall
Chapter 477: Emergency Recall
"Zhang Yunwen's stern words flickered and vague, but in his words, he expressed a warm welcome to us joining the guild!" The patriarch of the Zhou family looked at the patriarchs of the other two families and said.
When the patriarch of the Chu family heard this, he couldn't help but smile "hehe": "The old man knows that Zhang Yunwen will definitely not refuse to wait for us!" If I wait for the three to join the guild, the power of the guild will definitely rise, and presumably that Zhang Yunwen will definitely be able to grow up more money! ”
The patriarch of the Zhou family said again: "The old man has listened to the calculations of others, if we join the guild, we can increase our income by nearly 10,000 yuan every year, this money is not a lot of money!" So, this guild is worth joining. ”
Seeing that the other two were interested in joining the guild, the patriarch of the Wang family had no choice but to say, "Okay, since the two elder brothers want to join the guild, the old man has no choice but to accompany him!" ”
So, in the following days, the shops of the Zhou family, the Chu family, and the Wang family also joined the guild. And seeing that these three families had all joined the guild, they also followed their footsteps and joined the guild. As a result, not long after the establishment of this guild, more than ninety percent of Luoyang merchants were in the bag.
The people who went through the procedures for entering the guild at the Yamen of the Eastern Pastoral Mansion gradually formed a long line. Although the membership procedures were handled in the Eastern Capital Pastoral Mansion, the day-to-day management of the guild was handled by Cangcao of Luoyang Prefecture. This is also the reason why the Zhou family and other three families joined the guild. With the influence of the three families in Luoyang, it is no problem to influence Cangcao in Luoyang Mansion to participate in the military, and when the time comes, this huge guild will not be decided by the three families.
However, Zhang Yunwen knew that after Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he would spend a lot of time in Luoyang, and the country's political center would obviously move to Luoyang.
As Luoyang merchants gradually joined the guild, Zhang Yunwen's heart was relieved. Looking at the merchants who came and went to go through the formalities at the front office and pay the entrance fee, Wang Fangyi and others also felt that the hard work of these days was not in vain.
This guild will include merchants, verify their income in the name of the chamber of commerce, and then levy a commercial tax on this income, thereby increasing the number of commercial taxes. These plans are being realized step by step.
The scorching sun in Luoyang in June is like fire. On the official road leading from Chang'an to Luoyang, a knight was running with all his might. Dripping sweat from the horses flowed down the mane, dripping a string of water on the official road. The merchants who came and went on the official road saw that the knights were running wildly and dodged one after another.
The knight rode all the way into Luoyang City. When he first arrived at the door, the sergeant guarding the door saw the knight rushing quickly, and tried to stop the knight, but the knight rode too fast, almost in a gust of wind, and disappeared into the street in an instant. Seeing this situation, the soldier in his hand couldn't help but look at each other: "Uh, that person just now seems to be wearing the standard armor of the Tang Army!" ”
"That's right! But it seems to be a little different! ”
"What's in his mind, as long as it's Tang Jun in the past, then I don't have to care about it anymore!"
Just as the two irresponsible garrison sergeants were discussing the sergeants entering the city, the knight had already rushed to the Eastern Capital Pastoral Mansion.
As soon as he got off his horse, the knight rushed straight in. And the guard who stood at the door did not stop the knight either.
The knight rushed directly to the lobby and saluted to the staff who were working: "The villain is from Chang'an, asking to see the Lord Guogong!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the clerks in the room suddenly got up together, and Wang Fangyi stepped forward and thought that the knight would salute back: "This little brother, the prince is not here now, come, I will take you to find him!" ”
Saying this, Wang Fangyi took the knight and walked out.
In a side room, I found Zhang Yunwen who was sketching on paper with a brush. I saw that although he wrote in his hand, his eyes were looking at the front in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
As soon as he saw Zhang Yunwen, the knight fell to his knees: "The villain Hu San has seen the general!" ”
Zhang Yunwen woke up suddenly and looked at the soldier in front of him: "Hey, why are you?" Aren't you riding in a hundred horses? ”
That Hu San hurriedly said: "General, Your Majesty had a sudden wind yesterday, and when the villain was leaving, His Majesty was still unconscious!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the British public sent villains to summon the general back to Chang'an! ”
As soon as Zhang Yunwen heard this, he stood up on the chair and looked at Hu San in surprise: "What! ”
Hu San glanced at Zhang Yunwen and repeated what he had just said.
"Then apart from letting me go back, what else does the British Duke of Prince River have to say?" Zhang Yunwen was silent for a moment, and then asked.
Na Hu San said: "A curfew has been implemented in the city, the hundred cavalry and the gendarmerie battalion have completely taken over the defense of the imperial city, and in addition, General Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Lord Liu Xun, Huangmenlang, have been transferred out of Chang'an on business!" ”
When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he immediately said: "Okay! Then I'll leave for Chang'an immediately! ”
Whether it is Zhang Liang or Liu Xun, these two were inclined to Li Tai during the dispute in the East Palace that year. Now, Li Tai is at ease to be his king of Shunyang, but those who were demoted because they were attached to Li Tai at the beginning may not be willing!
Besides, it is unknown whether Li Shimin will wake up now, although Zhang Yunwen knows that Li Shimin still has a few years to live.
Looking at the tired Hu San, Zhang Yunwen said: "You take a rest here first, eat something, and I'll go and prepare!" ”
Na Hu nodded again and again. From Luoyang, Chang'an Road, a distance of several hundred miles, rushing all the way over, it really tired this military man. As for why the carrier pigeon was not used, I am afraid that neither Li Zhi nor Li Ji had the power to order the investigation institute, so they had to take the post road.
Hurriedly removed the door, came to the backyard, found Li Yu, and told her about it. When Li Yu heard this, he was immediately shocked: "What, my father has a sudden wind, and now he faints!" ”
Zhang Yunwen nodded: "So, Yu'er, take the first step for your husband and go to Chang'an, you can also set off, go back to Chang'an to see Your Majesty!" ”
Li Yu nodded, and then asked, "Then, what about Sister Rou?" ”
"Of course, I'm going back to Chang'an with you! I don't feel at ease if I leave her in Luoyang! Zhang Yunwen said as a matter of course.
So, the whole backyard was full of chickens and dogs, Li Yu and Zhirou hurriedly packed their luggage and prepared to leave Luoyang in the afternoon. And Zhang Yunwen was even more in a hurry, after explaining to Li Yu Zhirou, he brought some meat, biscuits, food and other food from the kitchen, without any luggage, greeted Ma Wangshan, and rushed to Chang'an together with Nahu San.
As for the stall in Luoyang, Zhang Yunwen threw it to Wang Fangyi and the others. He believed in the abilities of these three men to be able to do the rest properly. After all, I've told them many times.
However, before leaving, Zhang Yunwen repeatedly explained to Wang Fangyi and the others, telling them to take good care of those families, and not to let them think that if they left Luoyang, they could act recklessly in the guild. At the same time, they were also told to check their account books directly if they had the opportunity.
In order to make the three of them sit more firmly in Luoyang, Zhang Yunwen also left the fish talisman and the troop transfer documents to the three of them.
From the Chang'an section of Luoyang Road, Zhang Yunwen has run for I don't know how many times, and he is familiar with the abnormal. Three horses galloped, and no one left the saddle along the way. Finally, after a day and a night of galloping, the three of them finally reached the outside of Chang'an City.
At this time, the sky is not yet bright, and in the post house outside the city, two strings of street lamps are gently swaying with the night wind.
