After such a long period of hibernation, both Taoism and Buddhism are desperate to strengthen themselves. And although Li Er is no longer too pressing, it is just an attitude of not encouraging and not stopping.

This time, Taoism first let rumors of haunting spread in the locality, and then went to the door to exorcise evil spirits, and finally built a Taoist temple on the grounds that it was necessary to suppress evil cults.

This hand is very beautiful, not only has the support of the people, but also strengthens itself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

With this scheming, Qin Ze had to sigh greatly.

Seeing the fierceness of his young master's sudden appearance, Erhu didn't understand what it meant, so he cautiously asked, "What did the young master find?"

Qin Ze didn't hide it, so he told Erhu everything he knew. At the same time, he also asked him to tell his master that he should not act rashly these days, he has his own way to clean them up.

The next day, Qin Ze got up early in the morning. In Erhu's surprised gaze, he washed his face and brushed his teeth as if nothing had happened. This calm appearance is much worse than yesterday.

"Go, go." Qin Ze was very disgusted and pushed away the jade dumplings handed over by Erhu, and with a big finger, he asked Erhu to buy a Hu cake to eat.

Speaking of the five times that Cheng Huailiang gave before, it took more than half a month, and there are almost two left.

This is also the reason why Qin Ze has never been thrifty, just the breakfast in the East Market made Qin Ze eat it all over. And I also eat three meals a day, and I have to eat some meat every day. It can be said that a lot of copper has gone into Qin Ze's mouth.

There is no way for Qin Ze, a foodie, you can not dress warmly and sleep badly, but the food must not be too bad.

The reason why Qin Ze got up early today was because he had something important to do. They had already made an appointment with the eldest grandson to Fengya Building in Pingkangfang, ready to talk about the shop.

The word Fengya comes from the poetry of Fengya, and the property of this restaurant also belongs to the eldest grandson's family.

They want to open a cloth village and not go to the housekeeper of the eldest grandson's family, but to find the eldest grandson Chong, also because everyone is a gentleman, and it is easier to talk to those elders than to those elders.

is different from Cheng Huailiang, the eldest grandson Chong is a famous talent, and there are still some differences between him and them, of course, this is also the strictness of his father's eldest grandson.

The entire Chang'an position is also divided into two factions, one is the military attache faction headed by Cheng Huailiang and Wei Chi Baoqi. There is also a civil official faction headed by Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai.

These two factions usually have their own range of activities, although they don't deal with each other like their fathers, but because they are of the same age, they can also play together.

And Qin Ze is very yearning for their kind of life, it's okay to bring a few dog legs, and then go to the street to tease a good woman or something, wouldn't it be fast!

The lives of the gentlemen are the same, and this Fengyalou is the place where they gather together when they have nothing to do.

Fengya Building has a total of four floors, and the first floor is where ordinary people go, and because there were no chairs and tables at this time in the Tang Dynasty. So it's a long case, big and small, and if you want to eat, you sit cross-legged on both sides.

The second and third floors are where some rich people go, and the space inside is divided into small cubicles. The décor is also much better than the first floor.

The fourth layer is that only special people can enter, such as Li Er, such as the eldest grandson Wuji and the like.

When Qin Ze and the three arrived, Changsun Chong had already arrived at Fengya Building and was sitting on the third floor facing the street.

This is the second time Qin Ze has seen Changsun Chong, and it is completely different from the last time he was at the poetry meeting, and now Changsun Chong is more like a little more human, unlike at the poetry meeting, where every word is carefully designed.

Qin Ze's appearance also made the eldest grandson Chong stunned for a moment, but it was Qin Ze who saluted him before he reacted.

"How could Brother Qin appear here?" Eldest Sun Chong looked at Qin Ze and said with a smile on his face.

The last time at the poetry meeting, the two of them had a small friction, although it has been so long, they have long forgotten it. It's just that seeing Qin Ze again followed Cheng Huailiang made Changsun Chong a little curious.

Qin Ze smiled and said casually: "It's also a good time."

"Yes, we're coming to you this time, but we have big business to discuss." Cheng Huailiang took the first step, sat down cross-legged first, picked up the pastries on the long table and ate them.

Seeing Cheng Huailiang so casual, Eldest Sun Chong also shrugged his shoulders and sat down cross-legged with Qin Ze and Wang Fu.

"Tell me, what big business."

Changsun Chong especially likes to eat Fengyalou's mung bean cake, so there are two large and small plates on this table.

But when he met Cheng Huailiang, who also likes to eat, he could only grab a piece in his hand before saying leisurely.

What big business can Cheng Huailiang have when he looks for him? With his and his father's tenacious heads, what kind of business can they do.

Even the coal business, if it weren't for the help of the coal company, it is estimated that it would have been yellow long ago.

Cheng Huailiang also knew how many catties and taels he had, so he didn't say anything and looked at Wang Fu and Qin Ze, and motioned for them to come.

At that moment, Wang Fu was not polite, so he told his plan back and forth. At the end, he added: "Don't worry, the eldest grandson, we only need one shop, and the income of this shop can be regarded as 20% of the son."

Twenty percent, this is Wang Fu studied for a long time, and pondered. I also think it's acceptable to both sides.

After listening to Wang Fu's words, Changsun Chong looked at Cheng Huailiang helplessly, and said in his heart that you called me out in a hurry, just for this matter.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I feel that Wang Fu's words must be followed.

Sure enough, Wang Fu saw that the eldest grandson Chong didn't speak, so he spoke again: "We want to open a shop on Yuanzhen Street in Dongshi."

"Impossible." Changsun Chong directly rejected Wang Fu's request.

If Dongshi is the commercial core of Wannian County, then Yuanzhen Street is the core of the commercial core. The two-kilometre-long street is filled with famous merchants.

If you want to open a shop here, unless you have royal management rights, you can only choose to attach a shop to the nobles and become one of the semicolons.

"It's not that I don't agree, this matter was originally handled by my housekeeper. My dad didn't allow me to participate in this at all, and you know the rules of Yuanzhen Street. Changsun Chong took a bite of the mung bean cake gently, the sweet feeling made him feel very comfortable, and he took a sip of water before continuing.

In fact, when they came, the three of them discussed that the reason why they had to come to shop on Yuanzhen Street was to improve the name of the Wang family's Shaopu Cloth Village. As long as you have a firm foothold here, you will have more popularity if you go to other places.

So the shop on Yuanzhen Street, they have to fight for it no matter what.

"Come on, you don't have garlic for me. Although your father won't let you interfere, but with your words, your housekeeper still doesn't agree? Cheng Huailiang was very dissatisfied with Changsun Chong's round-up attitude.

In his opinion, it is a matter of a shop, and it is impossible to share how much profit their eldest grandson's family has.

Changsun Chong had long been accustomed to Cheng Huailiang's one-tendon way of thinking, so he pouted his lips and didn't speak at the moment, but looked at Wang Fu.

"This shop, Shaopu Buzhuang is willing to share four layers of income, and only this one is opened in the East Market." Just when Wang Fu was hesitating, Qin Ze on the side did suddenly speak.

After Qin Ze finished speaking, he looked at Changsun Chong, and found that the other party still looked lacking in interest, knowing that what people valued was not the income of these four layers, so he continued:

"And I can send the eldest grandson brother a piece of news, a big news."

These days, Qin Ze has found that there are more and more locusts in the sky, and at first he only saw some locusts in the suburbs.

But these days, he followed Wang Fu and they ran all over Chang'an only to find out. The scale of locusts has become larger and larger, and even in the southwest of Chang'an, there have begun to be large areas of locusts.

Qin Ze remembered the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, first a drought and then a large-scale locust plague, and half of the Tang Dynasty was affected.

It is now the beginning of May, the weather has become warm, and it is time for the crops in the field to tassel. All the people were still praying for a good harvest this year, but they didn't know that danger was approaching.

The damage of locust plagues to agriculture was deadly, especially during the Tang Dynasty. Qin Ze remembered that this locust plague in history caused tens of thousands of people to relocate, and there were even rumors that they were eaten by changing their children.

The locust plague has not yet erupted in a large area, but it will not be a few days away. Although there is no way to avoid this locust plague, the imperial court can take the first step to make arrangements, so that when the disaster breaks out, it can stabilize the people's minds and minimize the damage.

"What's the news?" Obviously, Changsun Chong was also attracted by Qin Ze, and he was also thinking about what news the other party could propose.

Qin Ze shook his head lightly, sighed, dipped his hand in some tea and sketched it on the long table.

At first, Changsun Chong still looked unimpressed, and even Cheng Huailiang and Wang Fu looked at Qin Ze with puzzled expressions. Because in their previous discussions, there was no such bridge.

But with Qin Ze's movements, the expressions of the three people slowly stiffened. Especially Cheng Huailiang, he forgot to chew even the mung bean pastry stuffed in his mouth.

Qin Ze drew a map, which is the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It starts from Liangzhou, Quanzhou and Maozhou in the west to Chuzhou and Taizhou in the east. Even Yunzhou and Fengzhou in the north are included.

Qin Ze only drew an outline, but what kind of people were Changsun Chong and Cheng Huailiang, how could they not see what this was.

You must know that in this era of extreme scarcity of information, maps have always been extremely precious, and ordinary people live until they die, and they don't know what their country is really like.

In fact, for Qin Ze, who was desperately admitted to the civil service, he could still accurately draw Hebei Road, Nanling Road, and Jiannan Road......

But he didn't dare to paint, and he couldn't. In the Tang Dynasty, the crime of rebellion was the same as rebellion.

So Qin Ze can only draw a rough sketch, he just wants to tell Changsun Chong that I am not talking about it, and if I want to gain the trust of the other party, this step is necessary.

And Qin Ze did not make this step casually, this is also the first and most important step for Qin Ze to counterattack Taoism.
