Chapter 129: Westbound
Everything in Changgu is well arranged, and Bachelor Zhang has seen enough in Changgu. It was time for Wei Renshi to leave for Chang'an.
Xi'er stared at Wei Renshi with tears in her eyes, she wanted to go with Wei Renshi so much. But he knew that Mrs. Tai couldn't be without someone by her side, so she had to stay.
Wei Renshi looked at her pitiful appearance, rubbed her head with a smile, and said, "Good girl, at most half a year, we will be together again next summer!" ”
Xi'er nodded, reluctantly tugging at the corner of Wei Renshi's clothes.
The carriage swayed away from Changgu and Fuchang. After Wei Ren explained Sun Peng in a dream building, and waited for Master Zhang to stay in Luoyang for a while, he continued to leave Luoyang slowly.
Suddenly there were snowflakes on the official road.
The fluttering snow petals flew down from the sky, Wei Renshi took a breath and rubbed his hands, opened the curtain of the carriage, and inhaled the cold air mixed with the smell of snowflakes.
A few snowflakes took advantage of this gap to fly into the carriage mischievously, and the cold coolness fell on his cheeks, which made Wei Renshi sober up a lot.
The charcoal fire in the carriage has been roasted for a long time, and even if the carriage is not rigorous, and the windows and curtains leak in, it will still make people dizzy.
Even the entire official road seems to have become silent, and there are not many people on the road anymore.
Coupled with the snow flying in the sky, there is a feeling of "thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear".
"If you put your coal stove in here, I'm afraid the sour smell of charcoal will be much less." Bachelor Zhang took advantage of Wei Renshi's efforts to open the curtain, took a long breath, and said.
"You can try it." Wei Renshi said: "As long as the current coal stove is reduced and the ventilation pipe is shortened and shortened accordingly, it can be installed in the carriage."
Mr. Zhang simply asked the groom in front of him to stop, and when he got out of the carriage, he actually picked up a handful of snow from the side of the road, pressed it on his face and rubbed it.
"If you keep stuffy, you'll be poisoned by charcoal." After wiping his face with snow, Bachelor Zhang said.
The crowd simply found a straw hut on the side of the road to rest.
It was a straw shed that sold bowls of water for passers-by to drink, but now that it was cold, it was vacant underneath, and no one was running it, but the benches and low tables were still there, and Master Zhang's entourage hurriedly ran over and wiped them with their sleeves to let the two of them sit down.
"You can sell well water in the summer, and you can sell hot water in the winter." Wei Renshi said: "In the past, passers-by drank a bowl of hot water to warm their bodies, isn't it okay, they can still earn some subsidies for their families, why should they be vacant." ”
"There are few people passing by in the winter, so there may be something else." Bachelor Zhang said nonchalantly, and then asked: "I don't know if anyone in Chang'an can make a fire kang, the old man sees that the fire kang in your house is really comfortable, and it is good to spend the winter with that thing!" ”
"Mr. Zhang, is there anything you can't say directly?" Wei Renshi rolled his eyes and said, "If you want me to help you build a fire kang, just tell me directly, what are you doing like this?" ”
Bachelor Zhang pretended to be serious and said: "That's not good, you are also a noble now, how dare the old man speak directly?" That is, taking advantage of the fact that your level is not as high as the old man, you dare to give such a roundabout command. ”
"Mr. Zhang, if you don't talk like that, everyone is still good friends." Wei Renshi said to him: "Otherwise, the boat of friendship will capsize." ”
Bachelor Zhang laughed out loud at Wei Renshi's words, laughed, and said, "For the sake of your words, the old man will remind you again." You are a native of Fuchang Changgu, belonging to Luozhou, and from Henan Province. Even if the imperial court wants to reward you, you can find a place in Henan Province to knight you. But why did you set your fiefdom in Weinan County, do you know? ”
"In order to make it more convenient for Weinan County to improve wasteland and dam silt." Wei Renshi said: "After all, I proposed this, so naturally I know better." Sealing me in Weinan will make these two things more secure. If there is any situation, you can also find me to solve or deal with it immediately. ”
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "This is just one of them. Second, Weinan is the land of Jinggi in the Guannei, which belongs to the rule of Huazhou, Jingzhaofu, and is more than 100 miles away from the capital Chang'an, and the fast horse can reach Chang'an in only a few hours. It is a horse-drawn carriage, and it is only a scene for most of the day, and it is an important place in Gyeonggi. Nowadays, the reward for the title has been too strict, and it is rare to be knighted, and it is so close to Chang'an. If the old man is not mistaken, His Majesty knighted you and placed your fief so close to Chang'an, and he also deliberately tested you to see how far you could grow. After all, I have never been knighted at the age of twelve, and you are the only one. Come to think of it, Your Majesty is looking at you. After all, at the age of twelve, you have such an incredible talent, which is surprising. ”
Bachelor Zhang's words made Wei Renshi stunned, but when he saw Bachelor Zhang, he looked at him again and smiled, and said: "The old man's words stop here, and I can't say anything more, you can understand it well." ”
It's all said that at this point, do you still need to find an understanding?
The emperor can't trust Wei Renshi, and he wants to use Wei Renshi's talents. So put it around and watch it yourself.
If you honestly contribute to the Tang Dynasty, then forget it, if you dare to have other ideas or actions, then you will be discovered as soon as possible, and you will die immediately without a place to bury.
Wei Renshi's expression was awe-inspiring, and he raised his hand and saluted Bachelor Zhang: "Thank you Bachelor Zhang for reminding me, students must keep it in mind!" ”
Bachelor Zhang nodded, then opened the topic again, talked about other things, and said, "When you arrive in Chang'an, do you think of how to live?" ”
"I have a friend who has some properties in Chang'an, and there is a small courtyard where he is idle, so let me live in it for the time being." Wei Renshi said: "When the house in Weinan is completed, I will move in." ”
"That's fine." Mr. Zhang said.
Jiao Haiqing's family already has a business in Chang'an, and now the seasoning business has been done in Chang'an, and the next step is to start selling coal stoves in Chang'an City.
Their family has a courtyard in Chang'an, which is where his eldest brother sometimes lives when he greets business in Chang'an, although the place is smaller, it is enough for Wei Renshi to live.
After all, counting the entourage, Wei Renshi and his party are only three people.
Boss Shi and Zhang Changgui stayed in Changgu and greeted the family, Boss Shi's grandson was still young, and it was not appropriate to take him out of the house. Wei Renshi only brought Ma Weilong and Gou Er over this time.
The carriage swayed, leaving two ruts and a string of horses' hooves on the official road, all the way to the west.
