Chapter 732: A Trip to Chengdu 2

Now, the deputy envoy and the senator of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu are sitting in a wine shop on the side of the street. This shop is not big, not luxurious, and even somewhat simple, but very neat. There was still some time before lunch, so there were no other customers in the restaurant except for the main hall and the running hall. The most important thing is that this is not the time to enter the restaurant at all, there is nothing to eat in the store, except for wine. But think about it, two big men, sitting in the store in the morning and drinking, have you two encountered setbacks in life?

However, to open M-N for business, you have to welcome customers from all over the world with a smile, and the owner is very kind. He didn't refuse to leave M-N because he couldn't make money, but he still welcomed the two of them in very warmly, and let the runner pour tea. Xu Wei and Zhang Jun also walked far left and right, the former didn't care, and the latter was a little unbearable, just to rest.

"This tea ......" Zhang Jun took a sip, and his face turned into a bitter melon.

Xu Wei smiled when he heard this: "Be content, that year, the Jin army besieged Chang'an City and cut off the water source, and the people who were full of success could only drink the bitter and astringent well water." Let me tell you, the tea made from that water ......"

"How?" Zhang Jun saw that he was speechless, as if he was exhausting his brains, thinking of a suitable adjective.

"That tea is almost like charcoal, and as a result, I drank it for dozens of days. If you want to change people like you, I'm afraid that this alone will have to go out of the city and fight with NV real people. Xu Wei said with a smile. He didn't mean anything malicious or banterful in what he said, but if it were someone else, other people from Jinshi, I am afraid that they would not have a good face, even if you are a chief. Because, some people will think that this is a joke about the reader.

As mentioned earlier, Di Qing, he invited a scholar in cloth clothes, just because there was a good person in the banquet to play Confucianism, the scholar thought that it was instructed by Di Qing, and scolded "Dare to do so", cups and plates were lifted to the ground, and afterwards, Di Qing also took the initiative to apologize to him. At that time, he was already a middle-level military attaché, and the other party was just a flat-headed commoner. The disparity in civil and military status has reached this point.

But after Zhang Jun heard this, he smiled and said: "That's for sure, don't talk about national hatred and family hatred, just let me drink the tea made from charcoal, I have to fight with the real person." This is the value of Zhang Deyuan, he is not Xu Wei's confidant, but he can be treated like Xu Wei's friend, the reason is that he is different from the pedantry of ordinary readers. Although he may have some opinions about martial artists in his heart, at least he never shows it.

As the two were talking, the shopkeeper leaned over, but he was not restrained, he sat down next to him, and said first: "I didn't mean to listen to the conversation between the two......

Zhang Jun turned his head sideways and said, "What?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I have a relative in Chang'an, and the Jin people that this official said about besieging the city and cutting off the water source, he has also experienced it, so, hehe, a few words of noise, excuse me, excuse me." The shopkeeper smiled as he got up to leave.

Xu Weiyi beckoned: "It's okay, please sit down, let's swing the dragon m-n array." After the other party sat down, he said, "We are from Shaanxi, I don't know what happened to your relative?" ”

The shopkeeper Dong was a talkative person, and when he heard him ask, he said: "It's a long talk, my relative is my brother-in-law, after the fall of Chang'an, he fled from Shaanxi and ran to Chengdu to defect." He didn't go back until Shaanxi was restored and the government organized the displaced people to return to their hometowns. Recently, I sent a letter to the trustee, saying that life is better. ”

Hearing this, Xu Wei and Zhang Jun glanced at each other, with a smile on their faces. Making people's lives better is one of the goals they strive for.

"If I want me to say, it's time too. How many years have we been helping Shaanxi in Sichuan? As the saying goes, this emergency is not to help the poor, in previous years, we had to fight, we had to deal with the real people, there was no help, we Sichuan is duty-bound, there is money to pay, and we have the power to contribute. Now that the nv real person has also run away, it's time to breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Zhang Jun didn't speak, Xu Wei nodded and admitted: "The Sichuan people sacrificed a lot to resist Jin, this is justifiable. ”

"That's it," said the shopkeeper, Toichi, with his head held high. "Even King Xu Jun, he has to admit it. Shaanxi has recovered, and our Sichuan has made great contributions. ”

Zhang Jun took over the conversation: "You can rest assured of this, King Xu Jun will admit this whenever and wherever he wants." Not only King Xu Jun, but the court also knew it. ”

This store is the idea, ushered in the delivery, and there are naturally a lot of people who have seen it. As soon as the shopkeeper Dong heard this, he felt that something was wrong, re-examined the two of them, and said tentatively: "I don't know where the two officials are?" ”

"Oh, we're in business." Zhang Jun said casually.

"Why should you deceive each other? In these eyes, it is not wrong to look at people with confidence, and from head to toe, there is no place for the two officials to look like a businessman. The shopkeeper laughed.

Xu Wei glanced at him and was serious: "It's true, what we did was a cashier to buy your life." ”

This bluffed the shopkeeper's face white, and the cashier bought his life? How? h-n underworld? His heart tightened, and he asked, "Whose money is it you receiving?" Whose life to buy? ”

"Collect the silver of the imperial court and buy the life of Beiyi." Xu Weilang said.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he pondered in his heart, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, it turns out that this official is working in the camp, but the one next to him is not like it." ”

"Visionary." Zhang Jun nodded.

Listening to his praise, the shopkeeper became more and more proud: "Don't hide it from the two of you, in our business, how can you not look at the face." Anyone who talks to him can guess a little. ”

At this time, several people came in carrying two and a half clay jars high, and as soon as they entered M-N, they shouted: "Shopkeeper, where is this wine?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and stepped forward, instructed the men to carry the clay jar inside, and gave the money before returning. Zhang Jun saw it in his eyes and asked, "Shopkeeper Dong, are you buying wine here?" ”

"Exactly, no, no. In the past, wine was bought from the government, but now they use their own grain to brew it, and the government collects some wages. The owner explained.

"I've heard of this, it's not very convenient to take the grain and brew it yourself, right?" Zhang Jun began to talk.

"In the past, the official sold it, but it was convenient, and he took it away when he gave the money. But that wine, let me tell you, no one else will buy it except for what we need to do to open a shop. Everyone knows what ingredients the government uses and how they are made. It's different now, I'll take the food myself, rest assured. For example, I use new rice in these two jars of wine. This new rice and old rice, you can smell it, and the wine in my store is never adulterated," the shopkeeper began to boast.

"Is the price charged by the government expensive?" Xu Wei asked from the side.

"It's a bit expensive, but don't we just want to rest assured? Are the guests satisfied? King Xu Jun canceled the official sale, which is a good thing, but it is estimated that this is not something he came up with. The shopkeeper said.

"How do you know it wasn't King Xu Junwang who came up with it?" Zhang Jun asked.

"Isn't that clear? King Xu Jun is a military minister who leads the troops, how can he understand this? It's easy for you to let him march and fight, the question is, it's called financial management, right? The shopkeeper smiled at Xu Wei.

Xu Wei nodded frequently: "Of course, I heard that this is all in charge of Zhao Kaizai, the transfer envoy of Sichuan." ”

"Zhao Zhuan is a good official, really." The shopkeeper suddenly became very serious and formal. "After the implementation of the liquor law, he even came to my store in person to ask if there was anything wrong. By the way, I remember very well the position you were sitting in. ”

Xu Wei was very happy to hear this, got up and said, "Since Zhao Zhuan has sat down, I don't dare to sit for a long time." ”

Zhang Jun then got up and asked for money, while asking, "Shopkeeper, ......what is the tea price?"

"Hey, what's the cost of two cups of tea? I'm a wine shop, not a teahouse. The owner said generously.

After all, Zhang Jun is a scholar, and he is absolutely unwilling to do such a thing as taking advantage of a small advantage, so he insists again and again. Xu Wei also said: "How can this work? You traders have rules, we seem to be the first round of customers today, open an M-N business, if you don't collect money, won't you lose money? ”

The shopkeeper was surprised: "The officials know this? ”

Xu Wei smiled slyly: "Although I don't know how to change wine, I only know how to lead soldiers, but I still understand these rules." After finishing speaking, Zhang Jun threw a few iron coins, and the two went out together.

The shopkeeper seemed to like these two guests, and he kept delivering them to the M-N entrance, and waved his hand non-stop: "Go slowly." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the store, and was about to go to the counter to dial the abacus, when suddenly, he suddenly realized and said to himself: "Blind my dog's eyes......"

At noon, Chengdu Pavilion Station.

Summer in Sichuan has always been hot, and at noon, there are significantly fewer pedestrians on the streets. Those who set up stalls along the street also set up sheds to hide from the scorching sun.

An official sedan chair stopped in front of the pavilion m-n, and Zhao Kai, the transfer envoy of Sichuan, got off the sedan chair, holding the head with one hand and the hem of the robe with the other, and walked up the stairs quickly and walked towards the m-n.

A small official stepped forward, saw him in his official uniform s-, and saluted: "I don't know the official ......"

"You, hurry up and report it, and say that Zhao Kai, the transfer division, asks to see King Xujun." Zhao Kai said with sweat.

"King Xujun?" The little official is confused, King Xu is here?

When Zhao Kai saw it, he knew that this guy didn't know the inside story, so he waved his hand and said, "Go and go, call your Yicheng." ”

After a while, Yi Cheng came in a hurry, he knew Zhao Kai, and he arched his hand from afar: "Oh, the minister of transport is here to visit King Xujun?" ”

"Exactly, where is the king?" Zhao Kai asked.

"This, unfortunately, King Xu and Senator Zhang went out early in the morning and haven't come back." Yi Cheng replied.

When Zhao Kai first heard it, he didn't feel that it was different, as soon as King Xu returned to Chengdu, it was normal for him to go out for a walk. But after thinking about it, he quickly asked, "How did the two chiefs come out of M-N?" ”

Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, pointed his finger at M-N and said: "Go back to the transfer Xianggong, you are going out from here." ”

Zhao Kai couldn't cry or laugh, and reprimanded: "I asked you if the two chiefs are riding horses?" Sitting in a sedan car? Or walking? Do you bring it with it? ”

"No, King Xu Jun and Senator Zhang are both wearing M-N in civilian clothes, and they don't seem to have any entourage, right?" The owner recalled.

Zhao Kai's face changed, and he reproached: "Do you know that King Xu Jun is coming to Chengdu for the first time? Why don't you send someone with sh-? ”
