Chapter 35: West Market
I was still dizzy just now, but when I heard Du Ruhui's words, Zhang Yi was immediately shocked, let himself be an official? Forget it! What's so good about being an official? Every day for the case, I get up and sleep in the middle of the night, and the most important thing is that my life is in danger, I am now a lord with a title and a fief, why do I have to go to find trouble?
"Your Majesty, by no means! Brat.. Minister.. Although he is still young, he has an inch of merit, but most of it is due to luck, if he takes on a big responsibility, he is afraid of causing trouble for the people, so it is better to let the minister go home and study hard, and then be loyal to the country on the day he completes his studies, so that he will not suddenly be born! Zhang Yi immediately leaned over and expressed the reason why he couldn't be an official. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Zheng couldn't help but nodded, walked out of the court and smiled at Li Er: "Your Majesty, the old minister is reconsidering!" Although the prince of Jingyang County has made great contributions to the country, he is still young, and the matter of giving officials is just as he said, a little carelessness is to bring trouble to the people, Your Majesty might as well give him money and silk, it can be regarded as a clear reward and punishment, and I believe that Your Majesty will not treat him badly if he succeeds in his studies in the future! β
Zhang Yi was moved, what does it mean to be anxious about what people are anxious about, what is urgent about people's needs? Wei Zheng is!
Facing the old man Zhang Yi in front of him, he almost asked him to sign his clothes, and while thanking Wei Zheng in his heart, Zhang Yi looked at Li Er again, hoping that the great and benevolent Majesty could listen to the opinion of this loyal minister again.
Sure enough, Li Er hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Since Wei Aiqing said so, then I will give Jingyang County another hundred taels of gold, a pair of white jade, five hundred horses of silk, and a thousand acres of fertile land!" β
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was immediately happy, you must know that when Li Shimin took over the throne, the treasury was not full, not only that, because the White Horse Alliance Datang also needed a considerable amount of money every year to buy peace, so don't look at the few things that are rewarded, in fact, it is already an extremely rich reward at the moment.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister should study hard and treat him to serve the Tang Dynasty!"
......
Out of the palace gate, the soft sunlight has covered the whole land, and the feeling of laziness is particularly refreshing.
The old bell and the coachman were laughing outside, especially now that the old bell had returned to the domineering nostrils that he had been as a housekeeper, his two eyes had become dog-eyed, even if a Praetorian Guard taxi walked by without looking at it with a straight eye.
"Young Master, you're out!" Seeing Zhang Yi lined up among the hundreds of officials, out of the palace gate, Lao Zhong came up with a fart.
Hmm, Zhang Yi got into the carriage, he was really sleepy at this time, he hadn't slept well at home last night, and he didn't know what was on the bed, and his waist hurt, and the bedding was not warm, or it was made of linen to cover his body, and it was a rattle when he moved a little, which was simply going to kill him.
Now it's okay, as soon as you get in the carriage, you start fighting, you can't bear it!
"Young master, did you say that we should go to the West Market to buy a few servants, maidservants or something? You see, our family is also a noble family, the old lady and the second lady must also be served, and there are also a few people up and down the house to decorate the faΓ§ade, right? Seeing that the young master was about to rest, Lao Zhong immediately expressed the idea of adding servants to the mansion.
In his opinion, his young master will go to Jingyang sooner or later to settle down, and since he has regained his status as a nobleman, this pomp must be there, otherwise it will be a shame!
Besides, he lost points for the few people in his dignified Viscount's Mansion's big butler who had few instructions in his hands.
"Just watch it, let me sleep for a while, and remember to wake me up when I get to the West Market!" Zhang Yi didn't raise his eyelids, and after giving the order, the old bell leaned on the carriage and began to nap.
The carriage traveled all the way and soon arrived at the West Market.
Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was divided into two cities, east and west, and was the most important trading place for goods in Chang'an.
Zhang Yi, who was dazed and dazed, was called by the old bell, rubbed his eyes, and there was a flow of people in front of him, which was in response to the sentence of bustling and rubbing shoulders. At this time, the coachman began to scold arrogantly: "Dodge, dodge!" Jingyang County's frame speed flashed! β
Immediately, the crowd that had just been crowded gave way to a passage in the middle and stretched all the way to the front.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he immediately had a feeling in his heart that he was pretending to be a big 13, this kind of treatment would not be enjoyed even by the secretary of the provincial party committee in the future! It's a shame!
The old bell seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, so that when the coachman drove the carriage haughtily inside, he even showed his old face and looked out, until the carriage turned two corners and came to a stone platform.
The stone platform is very wide, about ten zhang square, and there are dozens of thin men, women, and children kneeling on the stone platform, and a guy with a fat face is scolding the girl hiding inside to wipe her face a little faster.
"Young master, this is it, that fat man is called Hu Hansan, the biggest trafficker here, our family used to buy people here!" Lao Zhong opened the curtain to reveal a small gap, just through the window to see the situation outside, and then respectfully said to Zhang Yi: "Why don't you come down and take a look?" β
"You can call the shots, just buy a few maidservants to serve the old lady and the second lady, but you have to buy a few more when you are light and strong, and it will be more convenient for us to go to Jingyang when the time comes!"
Since Lao Zhong enjoys the feeling of being superior to others very much, it is better to let him enjoy it more, for this old man, Zhang Yi feels that as long as he likes to do what he likes, it is not too much, and a loyal servant who does not even want his own life should follow him to Lingnan to serve his young master, and he should share some of his glory.
Lao Zhong got out of the carriage with a smile and shouted at Hu Hansan: "Hu Hansan, why don't you bring out all the good goods here?" Isn't it a shame to have these reed sticks on the table? β
Hu Hansan was stunned for a moment, and his fierce face immediately stretched out, and the people he came into contact with in this business were either rich or noble, don't look at him in the West Market, he still has a little face, but when he goes outside, people don't know if he treats him as a person.
No, when I heard someone calling, I immediately turned my head to look at the old clock.
But when he saw Lao Zhong's familiar face, his face suddenly changed, Lao Zhong used to be his old customer, but that was only before, he had never seen this person at all since the Zhang family was broken, and now he suddenly appeared in front of him and was wearing a ragged jacket, and he didn't need to think about it to know that he couldn't mix.
I don't know where I went now, I got an errand and made a meritorious service to my master, so I hit the idea to myself, and I also called Hu Hansan, who do you think you are? Or the original Zhong Da Butler?
