Yang Chong was actually a little excited in his heart, and now his brother is also a person with a family business and a slave; As soon as Wei Lei and the others came back, they immediately followed Yuwenhu to the house together. The house is in the horse shop, the front and back three courtyards, the gate enters, there is an empty field in the front yard, there is a horse tether stake and a row of weapon racks, and the southeast corner is the horse shed; More than a dozen tiled houses, fully functional; At the back is a garden with the same side gate as the front yard to the stable.

Yuwenhu introduced that this house was originally for a general of Yuwen's family to live in, but unfortunately that general participated in the rebellion of Yuwenkai's second brother Yuwenxin, and was killed, and the house was empty, and no one lived in it. Yang Chong comes from modern society, he doesn't believe in these at all, the mansions of corrupt officials and traitors in history, there are more people who have taken over, how can there be any taboos. After Yang Chong assigned a room to Wei Lei's three families, he directly appointed Wei Lei as the steward, and left ten taels of gold for Wei Lei, asking him to arrange for someone to clean the yard of the house tomorrow and buy some daily necessities.

Yang Chong himself still returned to Yuwenkai's workshop and asked Yuwenhu for advice on how to lead the field, Yuwenhu learned that Yang Chong had never done farming, so he suggested that Yang Chong should find a housekeeper who knew how to do farm work, and Wei Lei and the three of them looked inappropriate. It's just that when Chang'an County gave the location of the farmland, Yuwenhu took Yang Chong to look dumbfounded, not to mention that the three acres of vocational fields are thin fields, and the two hundred acres of Yongye fields are all on the mountain, and the two plots of land are six or seven miles apart. Yang Chong didn't know why, and asked Yuwenhu: "This field is not enough to pay taxes?" ”

Yu Wenhu shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about paying taxes, if the food is really not enough, you can still buy it, but Chang'an County is too deceitful, I must tell the young master." ”

No wonder Yuwenhu is unhappy, the relationship between Yang Chong and Yuwenkai is here, and Chang'an County does this, just not to give Yuwenkai face. Yang Chong saw it openly, persuaded Yuwenhu, and took Wei Lei into the stone village on the mountain, the village is not big, more than a dozen families have nine surnames, all of them have moved from other places, and the village is called Tang Chun. When Yang Chong asked, he knew that only the fields on this mountain could they plant, and other people's fields, even if they were a small scholar, had their own domestic slave species, and outsiders could not interfere.

Yang Chonggao said happily: "I am a foreigner, and I don't have any slaves, not only these two hundred acres can be planted for you, but there are also three hectares of fields under the mountain, I am afraid that you will be far away." ”

Tang Chun thanked him: "Master Yang looks down on us naturally, and we also intended to plant, but it was the people of Zhao Village who originally rented that land, and I don't know if they are willing to give it up." ”

Yang Chong can only sigh that the people of the Sui Dynasty are loyal, their own lives are difficult, and they still think about others; Yang Chong took Tang Chun to Zhao Village again to ask, looked at the lease deed in the village, and found that 600 acres were planted by the previous official, so he rented the 600 acres of land to Liwu Village. Back in the city, Yang Chong spent another three hundred miles of silver to buy a blacksmith shop, including two iron-making stoves, as well as the iron materials and products in the shop.

After Yang Chong moved to Maxingfang, he went to Metropolitan City and Liren City all day long, Yang Chong soon discovered the abnormality, he lived in Chang'an, and it was not surprising that he appeared in Liren City twice in three days, but some merchants from the Western Regions disappeared for a few days and reappeared in Chang'an, and they came with goods. It's just that the people of Chang'an look at these Hu people, they all look similar, no one notices this, Yang Chong locked on a target, a turtle merchant named Wuxia.

When he saw Wuxia again, Yang Chong calculated the date, and Wuxia could only go to Dunhuang at the earliest. But what businessman, who has just crossed the desert Gobi and traveled six or seven thousand miles, or even ten thousand miles, when he can finally sell it for a profit, in order to save six or seven days of travel, he gives up double or even several times his profits. Unless, unless it's a group, or if the Usha has a lot of power, this will happen.

Yang Chong asked Wei Lei and Wei Long to wait not far away, stopped Wuxia on the road, talked, said that he wanted to open a jewelry store, and asked if he could supply it for a long time. Wuxia was stunned by Yang Chong's fluent Greek, but said that the goods he brought first had to be given to old customers before they could be supplied to Yang Chong. Yang Chong knew that Wuxia's old customers were his favorite to go to the Lianghe Persian Mansion.

The hall of the Persian Mansion of the Two Rivers is surrounded by reliefs reflecting the style of the Two Rivers, and in the center of the hall are three thick pillars, which are headed by oxen, lions and human faces. The shelves are also Western handicrafts, with cheap jewelry samples on them, very modern society, plus the glass products, the whole hall is rich. The owner of the Lianghe Persian Mansion was Hu Shang Taijis, an old man who had lived in Chang'an for nearly 30 years, with a ruddy complexion and a funny conversation, and when they met for the first time, Taigis was greatly surprised by Yang Chong's spoken language: "Mr. Yang, you are the best Han Chinese in Greek among the people I have met." ”

As they met more often, and were able to talk about Babylon, Greece, and Darius, the two quickly became friends. Yang Chong also found that the Persian Mansion actually did not have its own caravan, specializing in buying goods brought by merchants from Persia and the Western Regions, and then slowly selling them in Chang'an, that is, in one entry and one exit, the profits were considerable. Yang Chong saw Wuxia delivering goods to the back warehouse in the Lianghe Persian Mansion, so he asked Wuxia if there were any excess goods on this trip; Wu Xia spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing at all.

Tygis was a sophisticated businessman, he never believed that Yang Chong frequented him, he didn't buy anything, he just liked Persian culture and chatted with himself; The two chairs designed by Yang Chong are now in vogue in Beijing, and Tygis has long inquired that this young man can design something unimaginable. But Yang Chong didn't say anything, and Tekis couldn't help it, he couldn't drive Yang Chong to the street, that was not the courtesy to treat customers and friends. When Usha came back and told Tygis that there was a Han Chinese who spoke Greek very well, Tygis immediately understood what to do.

Two days later, when Yang Chong came to the Lianghe Persian Mansion again, Tekis handed over a glass of wine and said bluntly: "Yang, if you are interested in the jewelry business, you should tell me." We are friends, you can get the goods from me, 7% discount. ”

Yang Chong smiled secretly, and sure enough, he was tired, and said politely: "Tygis, you are my senior, I don't want to hide my thoughts." Most of the goods in your store should not be Persian and Daqin, the style and craftsmanship of the jewelry, it looks like the style of turtle and Sogdian production, and the material and color of the glass are still a little different from the glass I saw in another store. ”

Yang Chong knew that in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Gaochang, Qiuzi and other places could produce glass, so he was full of confidence when he spoke. Tygis stared at Yang Chongliang for a long time, and finally smiled: "Yang, as you wish, who called us friends." ”

Yang Chong drank the wine in his glass, and Tekis's attitude showed that there must be something wrong with the business of these Hu merchants.
