Xiangzhou Mansion, although Xiangzhou City itself is not a prosperous place, but Xiangzhou chokes the Qinling Mountains for 800 miles, and the Central Plains has always been in turmoil, and it is also a place where warlords live when the world is in turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, so Xiangzhou City is also considered to be a high and deep city.

Gao Jun led a group of people from the Hou Mansion to ride a high-headed horse and walked out of the gate of Xiangzhou City, followed by a team of nearly hundreds of people behind him.

Just as he was about to approach the city gate, the soldiers guarding walked to the middle of the road and stopped Gao Jun and his party.

"Stop, routine check." The soldier carried a sword at his waist, and behind him stood two soldiers with spears in their hands.

Seeing its armor style, there is no doubt that it is the local government soldier of Xiangzhou City.

Gao Jun glanced back at the long procession and the carriages and horses, then turned over and dismounted, walked to the soldier holding the sword, and arched his hand and said: "This military master, we are a serious caravan, and we are buying some New Year's goods for the nobles of Chang'an City, and we hope to be more accommodating." As he spoke, he took out a purse from his bosom and quietly handed it to the soldier.

The soldier glanced at the long queue, and thought in his heart, if it was inspected one by one, it would inevitably delay everyone from leaving the city, not to mention that this was still a caravan that helped the nobles of Chang'an City to buy New Year's goods.

Flipping the money bag in his hand, the soldier said: "Don't make it difficult for us, the nobleman is the duty, but if all the cars are inspected, it will be too delayed, how do you think this is?" I'll send someone to check a few boxes casually. ”

Gao Jun nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good." ”

Fortunately, this caravan really carried a large number of goods, otherwise it was just a box of money, and I am afraid that these people would check it accurately.

More than 200,000 yuan of money will definitely cause a commotion, and Li Yuanjing only needs to inquire about it, and he will find Dengzhou along the vine.

The money transported was naturally hidden in the goods, and nothing could be found by the careless inspection of the soldiers defending the city.

Smoothly walked out of the gate of Xiangzhou City, a smile appeared on the corner of Gao Jun's mouth, and now Li Yuanjing's money in Xiangzhou City has been wrapped into a box containing stones.

"Speed up to Dengzhou, and strive to reach Chang'an before the twentieth day of the lunar month." Gao Jun commanded.

"Yes!" The crowd behind him answered.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the wax moon, and the climate in Chang'an City was even drier and colder, and Xuan Shijing couldn't wait to hide in the room every day.

Xuan Shijing's house has two large charcoal basins, but this doesn't seem to be useful, in order not to be damaged by the carbon in the house, how can you leave a small window for ventilation, so, even with the charcoal basin, the temperature in the house is not much higher.

Since entering Layue, Xuan Shijing has rarely left the mansion, and occasionally Jinyang will come over to see when he goes out of the palace to Li Tai's mansion.

The day before yesterday, Li Tai had returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, counting the days, and now Li Chengqian's team should have left Shandong, and there is still about half a month to go.

"Master Hou, the money is here." Xiao Ji knocked on the door and whispered.

"Let him in." Xuan Shijing lay on the table without loneliness, holding a book in his hand and looking at it.

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Ji stood at the door and invited the pile of money in.

Qian Dui walked into Xuan Shijing's room with a stack of account books in his hand, and Xiao Ji closed the door again.

"Master Hou." The money pile stood in the middle of the room and bowed.

"Here, come and sit." Xuan Shijing said.

Qian Dui walked to Xuan Shijing's desk with the ledger in his arms and sat down and put the ledger on the table.

"The shopkeepers have finished accounting the accounts?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Qian Dui nodded and said, "Exactly, Master Hou, all our account books are here this year." ”

Xuan Shijing picked up a ledger and looked through it roughly.

The huge chamber of commerce is also divided into a lot of teams and categories, so the account books are also made separately, and after reading the two books at random, Xuan Shijing lost interest, he has no concept in his heart for money in these days in Datang, anyway, there is money piled up, and the food and clothing of the Hou Mansion are enough, so for the account book, Xuan Shijing is really lacking in interest.

"Have you read all these ledgers?" Xuan Shijing looked at the pile of money and asked.

Qian Dui: "Back to Master Hou, the small ones have been looked through, and they have been checked one by one, there is no problem." ”

"That'll be fine." Quan Zhenjing put the ledger on the table: "How is Gao Jun's side?" ”

"The small one is here to tell the Hou Ye about Gao Jun, Gao Jun and the caravan are still staying in Dengzhou, our Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce is stepping up the purchase of New Year's goods, and when Gao Jun returns to Chang'an, he will bring it back directly, Chang'an is not as good as Xiangzhou City, and the caravan goods in and out of Chang'an are inspected very strictly, if they are not fully prepared, Gao Jun they will not be able to return to Chang'an, 200,000 is not a small amount, it is not easy to hide it." Qian Dui said.

"That's right." Xuan Shijing said: "It's always good to be cautious, seeing that it's the end of the year, how are the people of our Hou Mansion arranged?" At the end of the year, let's rest, make more profits, and let the people below go home for the New Year. ”

"Yes, Hou Ye, Hou Ye, you see that you are also back this year, before the end of the year, do you want to go to Zhuangzi for a walk?" Qian Dui asked.

"I forgot about this, when will Gao Jun return to Chang'an?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"About the twentieth month of the month, you can go to Chang'an."

"In this way, it will take five or six days to hurry up, just wait for him." Xuan Shijing shouted outside the door: "Xiao Ji! ”

"Here, Master Hou, what's the matter?" Ji pushed the door open and walked in.

"They all said that you should stay in the study, don't you listen, isn't it cold outside?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile, this cold winter, and the weather outside is so cold, Xiao Ji has a good study and doesn't stay, he has to be outside, it's really interesting.

"Master Hou, Xiao Ji is a person who practices martial arts, what is this cold, how fresh the air is outside, you also know that the temperament of the slave and maid is stuffy in this study." Xiao Ji said with some embarrassment.

"Well, I'll give you a chance to go out and let off steam, go to Zhuangzi, and let Feng Hao take the information on Zhuangzi to the house, and say Master Hou, I'm going to buy New Year's goods for the farmers in our Zhuangzi, and let him come over quickly in the afternoon." Xuan Shijing commanded.

"Okay, Master Hou, the slave and maid will leave immediately." When Xiao Ji heard that he could go out of the house to Zhuangzi, he was very excited, and when he agreed, he went out of the study in a hurry, ready to go to the stable to lead the horse out of the house.

Seeing that Xiao Ji was so excited, Xuan Shijing also shook his head helplessly, no wonder his mother still likes to take Xiao Huan with her
