Chapter 181: Departure
The day has just dawned, the curfew has just ended, Luoyang City, which has been silent all night, has been noisy again, since the Yellow River channel is blocked, this kind of noise has not been seen for a long time, but today, Luoyang City is like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness, and is full of vitality again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What is different from the past is that the Luoyang City that entered was not as chaotic as the previous day, although it was noisy, it seemed to be very systematic, one family, one household, many people went to the west gate with their families.
When you arrive at the west city gate, you can see that there are already people shouting and neighing here, and when you arrive here, it is as if you have entered a sea of chariots and horses, except for a few horse-drawn carriages, or ox carts, most of them are still hand-pushed wheelbarrows, and these chariots and horses are filled with bulging sacks, and the weight is not light, but whether it is the people driving the carriages or the men pushing the wheelbarrows, their faces are full of eager expressions, not only not afraid of the upcoming journey, but full of expectations.
After the news of Chang'an City's exchange of grain for refined salt spread, countless people wanted to try it out, ready to gamble, anyway, even if they suffered a loss, it would take some time and effort, among them, there were more poor people like Zhou Touzhu, and the rest were like Wan Gengzhong, broken jars and broken pieces, anyway, the business was already doomed to lose money, if there was really such an opportunity to make money, it was also good.
As for the grain, there is no need to worry, the countless grains transported from the south of the Yangtze River and Huainan are piled up in the granary of Luoyang City, as long as you can pull someone as a guarantee, you can buy grain from Luoyang Yin, and even on credit, under the promotion of several conditions, the team of transporting grain has become extraordinarily strong.
"Okay, Ah Fang, I'm leaving, these days when I'm not there, everything at home depends on you to take care of, and when I arrive in Chang'an City, I will exchange this grain for refined salt and make a lot of money, and I will let you live a good life every day in the future." The strong men who were about to set off said goodbye to their mothers and relatives one after another.
Their relatives also took advantage of this opportunity to whisper to them some words of blessing that they could think of.
"Departure........ Even if you are reluctant, there is always time to leave, and with a crisp sound, everyone who was still chattering and talking, ran back to their respective cars, or drove the carriage, or pushed the wheelbarrow, and the smoke and dust billowed towards the direction of Chang'an City.
At the head of Luoyang City, looking at the huge team heading towards Chang'an City, the two people said with excitement on their faces, "Brother Le, it's okay now, with these grains, the food in Chang'an City can finally be relieved, do you say we will continue to stay in Luoyang to publicize, or return to Chang'an City?" ”
"Lang Jun said that as long as there is a person who eats crabs, then the person who tastes the sweetness will work harder to do it, with this group of people, we don't need to interfere in the next things, let's return to Chang'an City, maybe Lang Jun is short of people around him now." The other person replied, and when they turned around at this time, it was Le Buping and Duan Shui, who had been following Duan Jian's side.
Since Duan Jian accepted Wu Zetian's appointment, he did not really put his hope in the hands of those wealthy families in Chang'an City who hoarded grain, but did the same as he said, mobilize the strength of all the people, and let those people help Chang'an City survive this food crisis, and Le Buping and the two were the people who were arranged by Duan Jian to Luoyang to complete this matter.
…………………………..
Chang'an City, listen to Yuxuan
The major wealthy families who have just gathered here for a long time have met here again today, and the difference from last time is that the convener this time is no longer the Cui family, but the Wang family.
Looking at Wang Bingzhong, who was standing at the door and greeting the representatives of the wealthy families who came to the banquet with a smile on his face, all the representatives of the family who entered the hall began to discuss.
If it is just an invitation from the Wang family, I am afraid that there are many people from the family who may not necessarily come back, after all, the Wang family is no longer the Wang family that once dominated the world, although the current Wang family is famous, but those who know the inside story know that the Wang family has become more and more declining.
However, when the name Duan Jian was added to the invitation card of the Wang family, no matter how all the families looked at it, they still arrived on time according to the agreed time.
Duan Jian is a small man from Qipin County, of course, he is not in the eyes of these people, but many times, the affairs of officialdom cannot be seen on the surface, Duan Jian's official position is not high, but the errand he is responsible for is not small, and the ambassador who has full authority to deal with the food shortage in Chang'an City is the most beautiful position in Chang'an City at present.
What's more, this time it seems that Duan Jian invited them, in fact, who Duan Jian represents, it must be the meaning of the imperial court, what they invite them to do, it must be that the imperial court is going to negotiate conditions with them, at this time, seeing that the benefits are about to arrive, who will be stupid and not come.
"Hahaha, Cui Nineteen, it's still your Cui family's big shelf, all the representatives of the family are here, but it's just waiting for your family, come on, come on, please go upstairs, please go upstairs." Looking at Cui Zhige, who was late, Wang Bingzhong, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, immediately greeted him with a big smile.
Seeing Wang Bingzhong with a smile on his face, Cui Zhige snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's really the first moon near the water, that period of Jian Xiao'er just had a little climate, and your Wang family also took the opportunity to tremble, when did the dignified 'five surnames and seven hopes' actually rely on the support of the imperial court, it is really a shame for the ancestors!" After saying this, Cui Zhige ignored it and turned around like walking on the third floor.
Wang Bingzhong didn't care about Cui Zhige's sarcasm, the smile on his face was still bright, but there was a bit of mockery in the middle of that smile.
Cui Zhige had just gone upstairs, and Duan Jian's carriage also appeared in front of Tingyuxuan's door as if it had been calculated.
"Uncle Thirteen, how is it, have you all arrived, is there any one that hasn't arrived?" Duan Jian asked Wang Bingzhong, who was standing at the door to greet him.
"There is no less family, they are all here, they still think that the court is compromising with them, and they are all rushing to reap the benefits, one by one they run faster than the vicious dogs, how could they not come, but unfortunately, they never thought that this time not only is there no benefit, but also a layer of skin from them, I really want to see what their expressions will be when they know the truth." Wang Bingzhong said with a sneer.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
