Chapter 125 The Great Deal of Commerce

"If the people live and die, will they avoid it because of good and evil? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info。。。。。 Zhou repeatedly tasted this sentence, couldn't help but light up, arched his hand: "Cheng Zai Si Yan, Da Zai Si Yan, keep in mind the words of the Hou Ye, forbid the encirclement of the field, and return the land to the people, it is a thousand years of merit, and it is a major event to consolidate our country, as long as the vassal king takes this head, he is not afraid that the world's big clans will not obey, from now on, he will be willing to be the pawn of the Hou Ye, and he will do this with all his life's strength, and he will not regret it." ”

When Yang Ke heard this, he stopped at the horse, and looked at Zhou with blazing eyes: "What I am waiting for is the words of Lord Zhou, from now on, we will be comrades with one heart, unswerving, and never regret dying." ”

Speaking of which, the two of them did not go against their hearts, laughed loudly, looking at the lush and green fields on both sides, Yang Ke felt that this trip to Xuzhou was not small, not only made a good start, from Sima Tong opened a breakthrough between returning the land and the people, but also subdued the capable minister of Zhou, he has always dared to touch the powerful, dare to speak out, touching the fundamental interests of the vassal king and the world's powerful is really a huge risk, with this iron-headed pawn, it is like a tiger with wings.

But happy to be happy, Yang Ke's mind is still very sober, there has never been a shortage of emperors and ministers in history who have planted their heads on the land issue, land has always been the root of the competition for interests, after all, declaring war on the entire elite class, the light will be shattered, and the heavy will shake the foundation of the rule. Sima Yan at the beginning of the founding of the country, the prestige of the new monarch of the country, his personal prestige and power is at the peak, the implementation of the field innovation, just saw the results, but in just ten years, and was beaten back to the original shape, and even the wind of the enclosure intensified, becoming the trend of the prairie fire, this time I saw the Xuzhou enclosure for the disaster, the displaced people are everywhere, the people are unemployed, the businessmen are withered, it has reached the point where the chaos is imminent, and it is imminent, to the point of breaking out, according to the introduction of the Zhou, there are several groups of displaced people around Xuzhou to gather in the mountains and forests, The scale is already tens of thousands of people, and it is estimated that other places are half a catty and eight taels, and if you don't make up your mind, once the displaced people riot, the tail will not be big. He originally only planned to recover military power and governing power, but when he saw the serious consequences of the enclosure of the powerful with his own eyes, he immediately changed his plan and resolutely started the great policy of returning the land to the people, so that he would face more difficulties and obstacles on this trip.

"Old Seven, is there any news from Brother Ziping?" Yang Ke asked Hei Qidao.

"Not yet, yesterday I have asked the Xuzhou Mansion to send an eight-hundred-mile expedited to inform Brother Ziping that we have left Xuzhou. It is estimated that there will be a post news soon. ”

Yang Ke nodded, he now urgently needs the information about the vassal king sent by Zhang Chang, which is also the basis for the decision-making of his next move, before he grasps the big situation, Yang Ke does not want to act rashly, now there are more than 20 vassal kings in the court, according to his original plan, followed by the king of the East China Sea, but for Sima Yue's understanding of the situation, it is obviously far from enough, although there are tens of thousands of troops accompanied by Wenyang, but as a last resort, he will not easily use the army to encircle and suppress, after all, the soldiers are not bloody to subdue the vassal king, Collecting military power and governing power is the best way to deal with it, once the vassal kings are surrounded and suppressed all the way, it will force the rest of the vassal kings to huddle together for warmth, and it will be like the Han Dynasty, the vassal kings united to besiege the center in the name of the Qing monarch's side, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart, and he was even more careful.

"Lord Zhou, have you heard of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea?"

"I know a little bit about it." Zhou replied.

"Okay, let's not be in a hurry, there is a town not far ahead, we should be able to arrive before noon, let's stay in the town today, I will have a good drink with Lord Zhou, and listen to you talk about the king of the East China Sea." Yang Ke said with a smile.

Zhou was full of suspicions, as soon as the matter in Xuzhou was over, Yang Ke hurriedly urged everyone to set off, why did he just leave Xuzhou Mansion, but he also became unhurried, but he knew that Yang Ketao was overly and full of opportunities, and this move must have deep meaning, so he didn't ask carefully, but nodded and said: "Okay, then bother Hou Ye to drink a glass of water and wine." ”

Yang Ke said to the people beside him: "All the brothers have worked hard all the way, let's hurry up and have a good drink when we get to the town in front." ”

The men from the military are all immediately killing the enemy, the men who drink heavily under the horse, full of blood, although Yang Ke has always been generous to the pro-army, there is no shelf, and the brothers are commensurate, but the military regulations are also very strict, and during the march and war, it is never allowed to drink, and now Yang Ke opened his mouth, and everyone heard that there was wine in the town in front of them, and they applauded. The group urged their mounts, and more than 20 people raised a cloud of dust, looking at a large city looming at the end of the official road in front of them.

Yang Ke looked at the archway with the three big characters of "Liujia Town" standing high at the entrance of the town, and asked Hei Qidao: "Old Seven, you have traveled south and north, have you been here?" ”

Hei Qi shook his head: "I came to Xuzhou Mansion a few years ago, but Panhuan left in a few days, and I never crossed the border, I only heard that this Liujia Town is the first trade town in Xuzhou Mansion." ”

The stuffy gourd suddenly interjected: "I've been here, the old name of the Liu family is the largest restaurant in the town, drinking in the front, living in the back, it was opened by a pair of brothers and sisters in the green forest, and later became a businessman, and it is an old friend." ”

The stuffy gourd never said much on weekdays, but suddenly interjected, Hei Qi couldn't help but quip: "I've never heard you mention it, isn't it Hulu your old friend?" ”

The stuffy gourd's black face turned red, and he said in a rough voice: "What nonsense, these brothers and sisters are good people, they once saved my life back then, don't talk nonsense." ”

Yang Ke looked at the stuffy gourd and nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, just work hard for the gourd, you will stand in the front, and we will arrive later." After saying this, he turned over and dismounted, and everyone also followed Yang Ke and got off the horse one after another, tightly tightened the reins of the horse, and walked into the town, lest it disturb the pedestrians.

The stuffy gourd agreed, slowed down the horse, and the "deed" horse ran towards the east end of the town in small steps, and turned around and instructed Hei Qidao as he ran: "There is a wine flag at the door, you can see it at a glance." ”

The group led the horse and followed closely, looking in the direction of the stuffy gourd, Yang Ke looked around, this town really has a bit of the atmosphere of trade and commerce, and it is even more prosperous than the street market in Xuzhou City. Ox carts and horse-drawn carts filled the roadside, which seemed to be a center for the trade of goods.

"Lord Zhou, is this Liujia Town also under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Prefecture?"

Zhou Chu shook his head: "The boundary of twenty miles of Xuzhou City is no longer under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Prefecture, and the imperial court stipulates that local officials are not allowed to cross the border to govern, so it is the first time for Xia Guan to come to Liujia Town." ”

Everyone walked through the flow of people all the way, and they saw a wine banner high all the way, but the four big characters in the big book on the wine curtain were not "Liujia Old Store", but "Guild Chamber of Commerce". In his surprise, Yang Ke walked in the front, and suddenly heard the sound of a crowd running and shouting, he fixed his eyes and immediately said to Hei Qi: "No, the stuffy gourd and people have moved, you go and see, don't move the blade, don't hurt people." ”

The others also saw it at this time, under the guise of wine, the stuffy gourd and seven or eight people were scuffling together, and the surrounding crowd was dodging one after another. Hei Qi took the lead and pounced on him, and he couldn't see that he was bloated at all, and he ran as light as a swallow. The other soldiers were all well-trained, and they looked at each other a few times, seven or eight people followed, four or five people gathered around Yang Ke and Zhou, and the rest were responsible for leading the horses.
