The drums sounded, and a multicolored brocade robe took to the stage, wearing a bearded hat and brocade boots, with a golden bell on her hat and a silver belt around her waist, dancing to the beat of the drums.

The dance posture is rich in variety, both strong and bright, but also graceful and pretty. The dancing sleeves sometimes hang low, sometimes cocked, and with the dance of the Zhezhi Ling, the golden bell worn makes a crisp sound.

Zhezhi is a bearded girl, spinning up and being strong and graceful, from time to time with eyebrows and eyes, a pair of eyes that are breathtaking, which makes Tian Yilong, who is watching from the side, a little restless.

"How, don't you dare to look at Maiko?" Zhou Faming laughed in a low voice, seeing Tian Yilong nodding awkwardly, he turned sideways and patted the other party's shoulder: "When I was in Chang'an, I was quite embarrassed when I watched this Zhezhi dance for the first time. ”

"Does Chang'an also have a Zhezhi dance?" Tian Yilong asked, he had been listening to Yu Wenwen talk about how Chang'an was, even better than this prosperous Yecheng, and he was interested when he heard Zhou Faming mention it

"That's nature, the Western Regions style of Chang'an Liquor Store is no less than Yecheng, and the customs of the Bearded Girl who sells wine... Tsk, in fact, there are orchid performances in Yecheng wine shops, but I can't find them if I am not familiar with them. ”

"Then what kind of Zhezhi dance is there in Jiankang?"

"No, Jiangnan singing and dancing is another style, I have time to take you to see it." Zhou Faming smiled, but remembering the current situation, he added: "Ah, I don't know when I can go." ”

The drums became smaller, and after the Zhezhi dance, he saluted, smiled at Yuwen Wen, and then withdrew step by step, Yuwen Wen smiled and said to An Tuluo, who was sitting next to him: "The Zhezhi trick of the shopkeeper is good, and it is quite the level of Chang'an Le Fang." ”

"The county prince has good eyesight, and this trick was brought by An from Chang'an Lefang."

"The shopkeeper is so elegant, my father is in Shannan, I haven't seen Zhezhi dance for a long time, and now I feel quite emotional... Here, cheers! ”

After the two sides clinked glasses, they drank it all, and a woman stepped forward to pour wine for Yuwen Wen and Antura, who had deep eyes and high noses, and was the wife of Anturo, Kang, who was also a Sogdian, and today Antura set up a banquet in the mansion, and the husband and wife went into battle to entertain the distinguished guests.

Of course, the distinguished guest is referring to Yuwen Wen, the status of this Xiyang County Duke is not low, and he is also a member of the Great Zhou clan, if it is a formal occasion, the Sogdian Hu Shang An Tuluo is not qualified to sit with Yuwen Wen.

As the so-called "Shinong Industry and Commerce", the status of businessmen is very low, and they are the objects of deliberate suppression in various countries, but the livelihood of the people is inseparable from businessmen, especially in this era when the powerful people are squandering money and competing for wealth, businessmen are more needed to make money for them and solve the problem of luxury life.

So in fact, the status of businessmen fluctuates, and the status of businessmen who usually do small business is naturally humble, but the wealthy businessmen who are entangled with the powerful and high-ranking families are another status, even if he himself can't get on the stage, but he has to give a face to the backers behind him.

Now Yu Wenwen is a private person, according to the reason of "business cooperation", to the "friend" Anturo Mansion as a guest, so he also brought Zhou Faming and Tian Yilong to rub wine, and the chief bookkeeper Zheng Tong stayed in the embassy to discuss the 'evil way' with Liu Zhuo, a scholar.

Yuwen Wen has the valuable "Western Regions Exotic Treasure Glass Mirror" in his hand, but the wealthy merchants in Yecheng have guessed the inside story and know that this thing is actually made by Yuwen Wen in Bazhou, because the profit is super high, so the wealthy businessmen compete with Yuwen Wen to buy and sell.

The conditions they gave were varied, and the payment methods were also magical, Yuwen Wen and Liu's shopkeeper discussed, and selected several of them for preliminary cooperation, and Anturo was one of them.

Antuluo's father, Anjia, was the leader of the Sogdians in Tongzhou in Guanzhong, and had a formal official position - Sabao in Tongzhou, which was adjacent to Chang'an, and the Sogdians in Tongzhou were very famous in the business circles of Chang'an, so Anjia's family had extensive connections in Guanzhong.

When Anga died four years earlier, his eldest son, Anturo's eldest brother, succeeded him as the leader of the Sogdians, and Antura had to trade with Yuwenwen, the most competitive condition being the ability to sell grain.

The foundation of the An clan is in Guanzhong, which is now the border of the Sui State, and An Tuluo settled in Yecheng, the capital of the Zhou State, and took care of the family's business in Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain).

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Yuwenwen guessed where the other party's grain came from, Bazhou is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the other party wants to use the grain to pay for the glass mirror, so the amount will not be small, so it can only be solved by water transportation.

The upper reaches of the Yangtze River is Shudi, which is the territory of the Sui State, Yuwenwen did not ask the other party how to solve the transportation problem along the way, since the other party promised to transport the grain to Bazhou in sufficient quantities and on time, then he dared to do this business.

According to the negotiated price, Yuwenwen sold 12 glass mirrors, and Antura needed to use 135,000 stone of ordinary grain to make payment, and the transaction time was mid to early October this year, which happened to be the time when the autumn grain was put into storage.

The 135,000 stone grain is worth the annual ration of 5,000 people of the Hulin Army, so the grain is very attractive to Yuwenwen, because this grain is also worth a year's field rent in Bazhou.

In the Zhou system, the land rent of a couple (household) in a good year is five stones, and the number of households in Bazhou now is more than 24,000, and according to the 24,000 households paying the land rent in a good year, it is 120,000 stone of grain.

But this is only the best state, more than half of the farmland in Bazhou is just reclaimed wasteland, tidal flats, to become mature fields after a few years, plus the year of reclamation of rent-free adjustment, so this year, Bazhou collected field rent, that is, according to the original level of more than 10,000 households, but more than 60,000 stones.

If the transaction is successful, Yuwen Wen will raise soldiers and lead troops to fight in that year, and he can't help but be unmoved.

But the risk is not impossible, the ship sent from Shudi, God knows if there will be an elite Sui army lurking.

The An family, which is based in Guanzhong, in case he wants to take refuge in Emperor Yang Jian of Sui, take this opportunity to "make it convenient", and let Yang Jian, who is eager to save his daughter, send troops with the ship, and it will not be good to have a "wooden boat slaughter city" at that time.

The Empress Dowager of Zhou \ Yang Lihua, the princess of Sui State, is Yuwenwen's side room, and his cheap father-in-law, Yang Jian, is already "hungry and thirsty" for the head of his cheap son-in-law, and Yuwenwen has to guard against it.

"Shopkeeper An, can the grain ship arrive in Bazhou on time?" Yuwen Wen asked, he looked a little drunk and hazy.

"Please rest assured, you will arrive on time."

"There's nothing more on the ship, like the Man in Yellow or something..."

"The county prince laughed, we Sogdians do business, and we talk about integrity." Anturo knew what the other party was talking about, and the Sui army's uniform was yellow.

"Last time, my father's people bought alfalfa seeds in Chang'an, and when those fools came back, they found that the goods were not right, that is, they were deceived by Hu Shang, and they shouted that they wanted to go back to Chang'an to find someone desperately, what do you think of the shopkeeper An?"

"Such an act is really hateful, and that Hu Ming is certainly not a Sogdian merchant!" An Tuluo said solemnly, "If the county prince needs it, An asked the family to check in Chang'an immediately, see which profiteer did it, and give the county prince an explanation!" ”

"That's it, it's just the so-called wind blowing eggshells, wealth and people's happiness..."

"Good poetry, good literature!"

"Is that so? Aha! Yuwen Wen turned on the wandering skeleton mode and touched a few glasses of wine with Anturo.

"Jungong, come down and come down to the pas de deux, this is just rehearsed."

"Really? That's a feast for the eyes! ”

The joy in Anfu continued, and the gate of the mansion was not deserted, a few passers-by walked on the street and passed by the gate of Anfu, casually looking at the cars parked outside the door, and then left as if nothing happened, disappearing at the intersection ahead.

"Chief, do you want to follow?"

"No, it's just to confirm Lang Jun's whereabouts." Zhang Dingfa said lightly, he is now with a few guards, in a private house opposite Anfu, observing from the wall through a periscope, and they can see the movements of those people clearly.

"These few sent by the Xi Mansion are not very good, the way they look around, everyone knows that it is eyeliner." One of the guards laughed, and he also had a periscope in his hand to see the movement outside.

"So you have to be careful when you go to spy on Xifu, who knows if your whereabouts have been exposed."

"Don't worry, the leader, with this periscope, where can the people of Xifu notice it."

"Then you are not far from death, never underestimate your opponent!" Zhang Dingfa scolded in a low voice, the life of licking blood with a knife head is not completely certain, and any small change will lead to a reversal of the situation and loss of life.

Seeing a few guards nodding, he retracted his periscope and began to arrange the next division of labor, this courtyard had been rented by them in advance for overnight use.

A few days ago, Anturo sent an invitation to set up a banquet in the house to entertain Yuwenwen, because there were various singing and dancing performances, which took a long time, and he didn't want to end hastily before the curfew began, so Anturo wanted to invite Yuwenwen to spend the night in his mansion.

Yuwenwen doesn't care, he is boring in the palace, and he can't sleep at night, so he took Zhou Faming and Tian Yilong to drink together, and he wanted to eat and drink in Anfu before resting, so Zhang Dingfa also made preparations accordingly.

Zhang Yu led the guards to follow Yuwenwen into the Anfu, and Yuwenwen gave Zhang Yu an important task, which was to watch closely after he was drunk, so as not to have an inexplicable woman lying beside him after waking up.

Zhang Dingfa led another part of the guards, stationed in the houses near Anfu, which was regarded as a foreign aid in response, not to guard against Anturo's evil intentions, but to prevent some people from poisoning.

Based on a certain dark psychology, Yuwen Wenwen has always been well-arranged, and the prevention is that someone wants to harm him, of course, the last explosion was an exception.

"According to the plan, you will be on duty in two shifts tonight, and everyone will have to cheer up!"

"Yes!"

。。。。。。

Xi Mansion, Xi Sheng is bored watching the song and dance, he was under house arrest by his father, and now it has been more than half a month, Xi Sheng, who has always liked hunting, began to sit still, he was already impatient to drink and watch singing and dancing in the mansion.

The last time he was outside the prison of Qiuguanfu, he bumped into Yuwen Wen who was arrested as a demon, and the so-called enemies were extremely red when they saw each other, and Xi Sheng was anxious to set up a plan to castrate Yuwen Wen, but it fell short.

After the incident, because he did not leave a handle, Xi Sheng, who was quite suspicious, was not held responsible, but was placed under house arrest by his father Xi Piluo in the annex of Yecheng, firstly to avoid leaving Yecheng in a hurry to make people suspicious, and secondly, to prevent Yuwen Wengou from jumping over the wall to buy murder.

A person hurriedly walked into the hall, came to Xi Sheng's side and whispered in his ear, Xi Sheng sneered when he heard this: "That guy is happy, he is free in the Anturo Mansion, but I am moldy here!" ”

"Lang Jun, please be patient, after the Double Ninth Festival, then Yuwenwen will leave."

"I hid in the hole like a rat and didn't dare to raise my head, as if I was frightened, but he went around to have fun and had no taboos!" Xi Sheng shouted, "I'm going out for a walk tomorrow!"

"Lang Jun! The old man said that Lang Jun would be in the house..."

"Then you go to Xuzhou to sue!" Xi Sheng scolded, seeing that the butler didn't dare to say anything, he asked the Kabuki to retreat, and after clearing the scene, he ordered: "You, go and prepare to pay tribute, and in a few days \ I will go to the embassy to visit this Xiyang County Prince." ”

"Huh? Lang Jun: This is? ”

"I'm here to make amends, don't you understand!" Xi Sheng drank all the wine in the cup, "Prepare, prepare gifts, how can there be no gifts to make amends?" ”

"Lang Jun, this... In case the Xiyang County Gong borrowed the question to play something..."

"Then let him fight." After Xi Sheng finished speaking, he suddenly laughed, "You, find a good hand, wait for me to come out of the embassy and shoot arrows at my side." ”

"Lang Jun, this can't be helped, what if there are three long and two short!" The butler was shocked when he heard this.

"Just shoot in the air, make a move, and then you won't dare to mess around in the future, if he doesn't come to find trouble, I'll go to find trouble with him!" (To be continued.) )
