Chapter 879: Back in Guanzhong
With Su Ren's assurance, Lu Yi refused the idea of continuing to follow the caravan to the Western Regions, she believed that with Li Danghu's army to take care of her, this trip would only make money, and would never lose money. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info so Lu Yi asked Ah Bang to take the caravan away, and he followed Su Ren back to Chang'an.
After the pass, he entered the pass, and when he left, the willows were still there, and when he came back, the mountains were already full of gold. Lush broad-leaved forests grow on the mountain, and at this time all that is left is gray and light tree trunks, and occasionally a bird's nest can be seen. In order to show off their archery skills, Hawking and Huo Qubing shot down all the nests that could be seen, startling a large flock of wild birds, and the nests that took the whole summer and autumn to build are now destroyed, and they can only freeze to death in winter.
The Haoshui River is the largest river mouth in the Hengshan Mountains, and it is only after here that it really enters the Guanzhong territory. The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and many people kept staring at this team, which was all on horseback, because these people were different from the Han cavalry, there was no unified military uniform, and even the weapons they carried were different, and they looked more like the Hun cavalry.
The people in Guanzhong are all strong, and I think that the Great Qin Empire was able to defeat the Six Kingdoms and unify the world because of the fierceness of Guanzhong. Although Great Qin has been destroyed for a hundred years, the qi on Guan Zhong's body is still there. Guanzhong people are proud, a thousand years ago, King Wen Xing in Guanzhong, King Wu created the Zhou family for 800 years. Since then, the political center of China has moved westward, and it has not changed for a thousand years.
Those who had good deeds reported Su Ren's whereabouts to the government, and soon Su Ren found that more than a dozen public officials appeared on the official road in front of him. This place is under the jurisdiction of Chen Cang, and Chen Cang County Commander took a few of his subordinates to stop the five hundred fierce and vicious guys from moving forward, and he didn't know who gave him this courage and self-confidence.
The county order is a dutiful county order, at least much better than the captain who has long since escaped. In the face of Hawking's halberd, he still stands in the middle of the road and does not give an inch, quite a decision that you want to go over unless you step on me. Hawking suddenly lifted the black wind forward, and the strong horse's chest slammed into the chest of the county order, knocking the county order to the ground. Everyone hurriedly covered their eyes, they had already guessed what was going to happen next.
However, Black Wind actually lifted the horse's hooves and was unwilling to step down. Hawking sat on horseback and laughed: "Look at what scared you, you still want to stop the master?" Without anyone else, the master dared to break into the Hun camp alone, and you didn't see it in your eyes. ”
Although the head of a county is not a big official, it is also sealed by the imperial court. Hawking can do this, but Su Ren can't. Hurriedly got off the carriage, ran over to help the county commander up, glared at Hawking and said, "Bastard, why don't you come down to apologize to the county honor?" Do you know what it's called? That's rebellion! ”
Hawking smiled: "What kind of rebellion?" Big brother, this guy doesn't get in the oil and salt, and he doesn't get out of the way when he says good things, what do you want from the captain or His Majesty's order, let's come back in a hurry, go there to get things? ”
Su Ren waved his hand: "Get out, how far and how far to roll, if the county has something to do, deduct it from your money!" ”
Chen Cang County Ling patted the dust on his body and saluted Su Ren respectfully: "I have seen General Su below!" General Su worked hard for the country, but he did not dare to show favoritism in his duties, and asked General Su for forgiveness. ”
Hawking sneered: "So you know! That's still so stubborn, get out of the way quickly, delay my eldest brother's matter, you look good! ”
Su Ren was really speechless, and gave Shi Bao a look, and Shi Bao hurriedly pulled Hawking away. Su Ren turned to Chencang County and said: "What the county lord said is extremely true, but this time I came back in a hurry, there is really no order from the Taiwei or His Majesty, do you think it is better to wait until I return to Chang'an and make up for these?" ”
Chen Cang County Commander thought for a while: "It's okay, General Su is returning to Beijing by order, and he should also respect His Majesty's holy decree, naturally there is nothing to say!" ”
"Hehehe, then there is Lao Xianzun, these of my subordinates have come back from Yumen all the way, and they have not yet rested, and I also ask the county to prepare a place for them to rest and recuperate, and the county will not need to prepare grain and grass for the county, and we will rush to Chang'an early tomorrow morning."
Chenchang belongs to Fufeng County, which is also considered an important place in Gyeonggi, so it is not surprising that there is such a prefectural order. Chencang is 200 miles away from Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and fast horses can go back and forth in one day. The Chencang County Order is a good county order, otherwise he wouldn't be here. There are advantages and disadvantages to the officials in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, for example, the chances of seeing the emperor in the first term of other county guards can be counted on one hand, while the county guards of Jingzhao, Left Fengyi, and Right Fufeng have the opportunity to go to court. Even the magistrate of the lower county has more opportunities than the prefectural magistrate of another county.
And Chen Cang is the great show of Fufeng County, and he can be an official in the court after being the county magistrate for a few years, so he naturally knows that Su Ren is the emperor's favorite minister, and people don't care. Maybe because he acted according to the law, he was listed in front of the emperor, and it was possible to be a taishou in other counties.
The Chencang County Commander arranged a place for Su Ren outside the city, and it was really as Su Ren said, nothing was prepared except for that piece of land, and a county assistant was also sent to help, which actually played a monitoring role.
The tent was set up, and Su Ren sat inside to talk to his subordinates. Chencang is the place where they broke up, and those who returned to Shu County went south from Chencang, crossed the Qinling Mountains and walked the plank road into Shu County, and those who went to Chang'an followed Su Ren to the east. This trip out, after going through risks, some brothers died, but also reaped rich rewards.
Su Ren said sternly to the vultures and leopards: "Remember, those brothers who died in battle doubled their war profits, this must not be mistaken!" If you let me know who's making trouble inside, you'll want to go for yourselves! ”
The vulture and the leopard hurriedly got up: "Don't worry, sir, brothers are provincial!" ”
Su Ren nodded: "This time I will go back and live your life well, this money is the big guy who fought hard to come back, don't make it all at once, if you don't have a home, you will become a family, if you have a family, you will think about your parents, wives and children, you have been working hard outside for more than a year, and it is not easy to go back, next time you don't have this good opportunity, you should be careful with your calculations, buy a house and buy land, whoever has a good life, and when I go to Shu County, I will go to his house." ”
"Don't worry, sir, our brother will take care of these guys!"
After settling down and returning to Shu County, he said that the people who went to Chang'an: "Lao Wang will count the businessmen who went to the Western Regions with us this time, no matter the profit or loss, there is a number, don't care about the profit that you make too little, I am responsible for making up for the loss, and those who make a profit, in addition, this time in Yumen to build a city, the Chamber of Commerce paid a lot, you and Lao Cui take a charter out, I will not be less money, the most important thing is this business road, I am ready to hand it over to Your Majesty to dispose of, is to re-give our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, Your Majesty doesn't need to tell me if he sent a caravan himself, everything will be done according to His Majesty's wishes, and you can explain this to Lao Cui. ”
Lao Wang nodded hurriedly: "The villain understands, it's just ......"
"Just what, if you have something to say!"
Lao Wang glanced around a few times: "It's just that the villain heard that Mr. is going to re-establish a chamber of commerce, I don't know if anyone from our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce can join?" ”
"No, it's not negotiable!" Su Ren replied: "The good things in the world can't be taken by one person, if you want to join my new Chamber of Commerce, you have to quit the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, it's the same back and forth, you can only join one!" When the things on my side are done, I will also withdraw from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, rest assured, it is absolutely all industries, including Cuixiang Building, and the money is ready to wait for you! ”
The merchants below burst into laughter. Lao Wang asked again: "Then I don't know if this new chamber of commerce of Mr. is ......?"
Su Ren smiled: "You old guy always talks halfway, don't worry, I will never interfere with your Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and I won't grab food with you, are you satisfied?" ”
Lao Wang hurriedly saluted: "Don't blame sir, it's just that someone has asked these days, so the villain has the courage to ask!" ”
Su Ren nodded: "That's good, everything will be said clearly, so as not to have disputes in the future!" As for what we're doing, you don't have to ask, and I won't tell you, it's a trade secret. ”
The big things were properly discussed, and the rest were small things, a large number of people crowded into a small tent, almost a summary of the success or failure of this trip to the Western Regions. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the crowd dispersed. By the time Su Ren returned to the back account, Lu Yi had already fallen asleep. In order not to disturb Lu Yi's sleep, Su Ren washed his face with cold water and walked out of the tent.
The eastern sky has already appeared white, and it is impossible to walk today. The whole team of heads and faces all stayed up all night and could only sleep during the day. So Su Renxian sent someone to say hello to the Chencang County Order, and then sent someone back to Chang'an to report the news. The sound of chickens crowing came from inside the city wall, and the gate of Chencang slowly opened, and the crowd gathered at the city gate soon thinned out, although these people were a little strange about the military camp on the side of the road, but the pressure of life still made them dare not have any stay.
Since Su Ren is not ready to leave, it is inevitable to go into the city for a tour. All the soldiers were confined to the camp, and Su Ren himself was not included. Chen Cangcheng is not big, the appearance of a radius of three or three or five miles, and the square of Chang'an City is different, Chen Cangcheng crosses both sides of the Wei River, half in Henan and half in Hebei, and the wharf at the east gate is the most lively place in the whole city.
Su Ren didn't bring any extra people, only took Huang Shisan and Manniu along the street. After staying in the Western Regions for a long time, I feel fresh when I see things in the Central Plains again. Fine silk, exquisite porcelain, and the smell of wine can all attract Su Ren. Soon, Huang Shisan and Manniu were covered with large and small packages, and the three of them entered a wine shop with a smile and a smile.
A handful of silver coins were thrown over, and the shopkeeper served diligently. Good wine and good food were soon served. Not to mention, although it is simpler, the taste is indeed stronger than that of the Western Regions. Because it was early in the morning, there were very few people in the wine shop, except for Su Ren and the three of them, only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child eating a big bowl of soup cakes was on a table in the corner. The food was poor, but the boy ate it very sweetly.
