The imperial court can't help the merchants, but the merchants can't help the civil officials, what a strange phenomenon?

Looking at Wu Yibo's posture this time, it is clear that everyone has to follow his way to buy and sell, and these businessmen are really worried.

But firstly, the corn is indeed selling well, and it can be sold as much as it can be shipped back, and secondly, they have prepared a lot of money for this trip. None of the merchants withdrew, and they all followed the knights honestly all the way to Zhenyuanfu.

It's been a day since I left the Vulture's Wild Wood House, and I heard the knight next to me say that it was not far from Zhenyuanfu.

At the front of this huge team, there is a very large caravan, this caravan is the largest in the team, there are hundreds, and the size is larger than other people's circles, the men with the team, the driver of the car, is also extremely brave and shrewd, at a glance you know that it is a thoughtful, clean and neat character, and the carts of other caravans are empty, their carts, rut marks are deeply imprinted on the ground, obviously it is full of goods, I don't know what it is.

All in all, this caravan is different from other people's homes everywhere. On a big cart at the front of the caravan, there was nothing, just a two-zhang high flag, on which a big 'Lian' word was impressively visible, and on the side of each cart of the caravan, there was a flag, which was also the same system, but it was a little smaller.

This is the caravan of the Lien chaebol.

In the middle of the caravan, the curtain of a simple carriage was suddenly lifted, and a thin old man poked his head out. The old man passed on a long gown made of cyan silk, without a hat, and his hair was tied with a green hosta, which looked quite status, and his eyes revealed a shrewdness.

He beckoned to the guy on the horse on the side and said, "Liu Hou'er, how far is it from Zhenyuan Mansion?" ”

That Liu Hou'er was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. After doing this errand for a long time, I couldn't hide my cleverness, and when I heard this, I hurriedly responded, and said respectfully: "Back to Qin's shopkeeper." This morning, I heard from the military masters that there are still three hours to go. It's hard to calculate this now, so let's ask you! ”

After that, he beat the horse and went to the side, and soon came back, saying: "The shopkeeper of Qin, the military master said, there are still thirty miles away from Zhenyuan Mansion." If you go on like this, you will be there in just over an hour! ”

This Qin shopkeeper was one of the two who identified the seal of the first emperor in Fusang, and later Lao Liang stayed in Fusang, while he came back and worked in the Lian chaebol, in charge of all the jewelry stores and pawnshops of the Lian family, which can be said to be a pivotal figure. And because of his relationship, he is the closest to the Lian family. I also know a lot of secrets, so every time a large-scale caravan comes to the Northeast, he must be indispensable.

Lao Qin was very satisfied with the young man's performance. glanced at him approvingly, and shrank into the carriage, but perhaps after holding it for a long time, he put the curtain of the carriage up, leaned crookedly against the wall of the carriage, and looked at the scene outside very pleasantly.

For others, this desolate scenery is tired of looking crooked, but for him who often stays in the capital and can't come out, looking at the high and wide sky outside the city is extraordinarily comfortable and comfortable. It made him feel relieved by his old arms, and his body and bones seemed to be a lot stronger.

All the way forward, forward, and finally when the sun was setting, I saw a slightly raised black line in the sky.

At first, the businessmen didn't take it seriously, and they speculated whether Zhenyuan Mansion was the same as Jinan Mansion, surrounded by a circle of mountains!

And when it's closer. Their eyes widened! …,

When they were already a few miles south of Zhenyuan Mansion, they really realized what the black line that appeared in their field of vision just now was what it was, and how majestic and magnificent it was.

Suddenly, a majestic city rose from the ground.

There are more than ten zhang high city walls, extremely thick, it seems, the whole body is built with big bluestone. On the city wall, the pheasant moat stands in a forest, endlessly, and on the city wall, there are countless piers protruding beyond the wall. Facing the crowd was an urn city, tall and heavy, with a semicircular appearance, without any flaws. Beyond the city walls, there is a lower city wall, and outside this city wall, there is a wide moat with a strong current!

And on the city wall, at intervals, there was a majestic and solemn guard of the Wuyi Army standing in a big red cotton armor.

On their heads, countless banners of the 'Wuyi Army Company' were flying.

All of them in the caravan had traveled from south to north and had seen a lot, but none of them had ever seen such a majestic city!

A young man in his twenties gasped and exclaimed, "My dear, how high does this wall have to be?" It has to be seven or eight feet! I'm afraid it's almost the same as in Beijing! Didn't you say that the Northland was cold and bitter, and there was nothing? When did this rise up in a majestic city? ”

An old man next to him snorted coldly: "There is no hair on the mouth, and I can't speak firmly." ”

/>

He obviously has some status, but the young man was scolded by him, but he was not angry, but smiled and said: "What you always say is that you are always well-informed, tell us about it?" ”

The old man's face was pale, and he stroked his goatee and said: "This city wall has to be eleven or twelve zhang to say the least, the Beijing city wall, the highest boundary is the Zhengyangmen city wall, nine zhang nine feet nine inches high, tsk!" ”

He shook his head: "Beijing City, it can't be compared to here, this Wu Yibo, he is really a celestial, this Zhenyuan Mansion, isn't it the Xi Shenwei of the year?" We came five years ago to send salt to the military masters of Xishenwei at that time, and the old man has a good memory, and he still remembers Xishenwei at that time, and he has to be thirty or forty miles away from here! The city wall is also much shorter than this, drink, how big is this town far away? It's amazing! ”

Everyone was also amazed, and Shopkeeper Qin was no exception, the last time he came here, Zhenyuan Mansion was just a foundation, less than three feet high.

And now, it is indeed such a majestic city!

A strong city, a strong army, a strong man!

Everyone was also amazed, how could such a huge city be built without hundreds of thousands of people and several years of work?

But such a huge city is quiet. I didn't see a few people entering or leaving the city gate, but I could only hear the fierce sound of the wind blowing the flag, and then suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

A small group of cavalry came out of the city gates. Surrounded by a tall general, next to the general was a robed officer, about fifty years old, with cold eyes, but it was Hong Chaojiao.

When the cavalry came before the crowd, the general bowed his hand to the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen. This official is Shi Dazhu, the commander of the pro-military camp under Uncle Wu Yi's account, this is Lord Si Hong in my Zhenyuan Mansion, you follow Lord Hong, and I will arrange a place for you, and tomorrow, Uncle will personally summon you to discuss the purchase of corn. ”

He deliberately said vague words. It's because Hong Chaojiao's identity is shady after all, and it's better to keep a low profile, and this time Hong Chaojiao actually met everyone in person. But it is enough to show the importance of this business.

Hong Chaojiao approached the horse and smiled slightly: "Everyone, this matter is up to the president of this official, if you have any matter, you can just talk to this official directly." ”

These caravan people didn't know that this thin and kind Lord Hong was the prince of the northeast of the famous town back then, but when they heard that this time the matter was under his control, many people were thinking about it, thinking about how to get in touch with this Lord Hong. …,

As for the arrangement, everyone has no opinion. They all drove their chariots and horses and followed Hong Chaojiao into the city.

And Shi Dazhu came to the side of Qin's shopkeeper's car, but they were old acquaintances, and they had already dealt with each other as early as Japan. Greet with a hunched waist.

Shi Dazhu laughed and said, "Old Qin, you can see the outside, come on, don't be polite, the adults want to see you, come with me!" ”

Shopkeeper Qin smiled: "This is the face of the adults, we can't know the proportion." ”

"You, be so careful." Shi Dazhu nodded at him with a smile and said, "Yes, come with me!" Our own caravan is also out of sight, so we don't need to squeeze together with those people, and we can also come with them, and there is a good place to go. ”

"Hey!" Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly answered, arranged a caravan, and followed Shi Dazhu, as for the caravan, it was led by another officer and went to the designated place to stay.

Everyone in the caravan looked at the back of the shopkeeper Qin leaving, they were all envious, and they were received by their uncle when they first came, what an honor this was? Liu Hou'er, a young man who was looking forward to coming out, strengthened the idea of stammering Qin's shopkeeper in his heart.

Shopkeeper Qin followed Shi Dazhu to the General's Mansion, and it was not the first time he had come here, and the last time he came, Lian Zining also met him.

got off the horse, entered the mansion, followed Shi Dazhu all the way, and arrived at a side hall in the front yard, Shi Dazhu pushed the door to welcome him in, and said, "Your Excellency is now discussing with the officers, you can wait here for a while!" ”

Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly responded.

Shi Dazhu was also busy with affairs, arranged for him, and went to get busy, leaving only the shopkeeper Qin to stay inside, and after a while, a pretty little girl came in to serve tea, and the shopkeeper Qin naturally thanked him quickly, and when the little girl went out, he sat here alone, and suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles. I feel uncomfortable.

Took a sip of tea, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile, the taste of this tea is familiar to him, it is the best Longjing tea before the rain, the last time he came to Zhenyuan Mansion to go back, the eldest lady because of her errand to do a beautiful job, rewarded herself with a bag, and she still treasures it now!

Looking at the tea leaves sinking and floating in the water, he said in his heart, this shouldn't be the last time I sent it to my uncle! There's nothing so good in the Northeast.

Thinking of this, his mood also relaxed, he saw that this room was luxuriously furnished, there were many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls, and on the north wall, there was a multi-treasure grid, on which there were many things, he became curious, so he got up and took a closer look.

But I didn't expect that after a closer look, I was really shocked.

The east and west walls add up to eight calligraphy and paintings, all of which are authentic works of famous artists! Although the shopkeeper Qin specializes in gold and stone antiques, he has been immersed in this industry for decades, and he still has this confidence - it is definitely not a fake, and Wu Yibo's mansion does not seem to place fakes.

And when the shopkeeper Qin saw the word hanging in the northernmost position on the east wall, he was even more shocked, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief.

"This? What could this be? Shopkeeper Qin trembled, and gently spit out three words: "Pillar inscription? ”

"The 'pillar inscription' of the valley road people?"

"That's right, it's definitely genuine, there is a post-Song Jia like a road, the inscription of Xiang Yuanbian of this dynasty, the bell seal, this color. It's definitely not worn. What's more, how can anyone copy the wind and bones of the valley road characters? It must be the real thing! ”

Standing under this yellowed word and looking at it for a long time, the shopkeeper Qin finally determined what he thought in his heart. Even if he was a master like him who had seen a big scene and even identified the jade seal of the country with his own eyes, if it was placed in Lian Zining's era, he would definitely be able to appear on the treasure appreciation and other programs from time to time, and he also took a deep breath and calmed down the emotions in his heart. …,

"There is one year in Wei Shi, and the emperor has ruled the world for twelve years. The Tao is in the domain, and Weiga is overseas. Six and the same track, eight wilderness interception, success and fame, time and age. In February, the eastern patrol hunted as far as Luoyi, and after the pilgrimage was completed, Yuluan swirled, and the food was in urgent danger. Practice the land of Shaanxi, Burma is only sacred, and look down at the big river. The peak of the pillar stands. The temple of Dayu is in; Crowned Ben Duan Committee, far deed Liu Zi, Yu is inseparable; Xuanfu Zhongni's sigh, the emperor's affection is blind, carry the admiration, the life has a division, Le Mingzi stone, wish it ......"

Shopkeeper Qin unconsciously looked at this character, and read it softly word by word, with that look. It turned out to be intoxicated and intoxicated!

I don't blame him for this, it's really that this calligraphy and painting is too precious.

Valley Daoren, that is, Huang Tingjian, the word Lu Zhi, and the Valley Daoist is his number. Also known as Fu Weng. His person is the Northern Song Dynasty is also the most famous poetry and book in Chinese history, Hongzhou Fenning people, Zhiping four years of Jinshi, to the school Shulang for the "Shenzong Record" reviewer, moved to the book Zuolang. Later, he was degraded for being untruthful and untrue.

Huang Tingjian is one of the four scholars of Sumen, the founder of the Jiangxi poetry school, and was as famous as Su Shi during his lifetime. Known as Su Huang. And its words are even more praised, and Su Shi, Mi Fu, Cai Xiang and called Su Huang Mi Cai "Song four family", its large character line book condensed and strong, iron painting silver hook, when people recommend for the world unparalleled.

And Huang Tingjian's most precious character is "Pillar Inscription", the content of which is the "Pillar Inscription" written by Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who was most respected by Huang Tingjian during his lifetime, with more than 600 words.

Naturally, the shopkeeper Qin did not know that in Lian Zining's time, in the Poly Night Auction in 2010, "Pillar Inscription" was sold for a total of 430.8 million yuan plus commissions after 68 bids, which not only broke the previous year's Chinese art auction record of 169 million yuan for Wu Bin's "Eighteen Ying Zhen Picture Scrolls", but also far exceeded the world record of 230 million yuan for Chinese art sold in London, England five years ago.

It is out-and-out, the first in the world.

However, this did not affect the shopkeeper Qin's judgment of his value, and he quickly estimated the price in his heart in addition to this character, and he was inevitably shocked again.

Finally calmed down the turmoil in his heart, the shopkeeper Qin forcibly plucked his eyes off this character, otherwise, he could find out for a whole day!

I went to the north and took a turn around the Duobaogna, and the heart that had just calmed down was like throwing a big stone into it, and it suddenly became an endless wave.

On that lot of treasures, there are always thirteen or fourteen things, among which the latest and most worthless one is a piece of Yuan Qinghua from the previous dynasty, and except for this one, none of them are later than the Southern Song Dynasty!

Among them, there are three antiques, which are the most precious three generations ago. Just one of the small tripods, Master Qin recognized that this was the latest artifact after the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, and it has been at least two thousand years so far! The inscription on it is simple and majestic, which makes people feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

This is the feeling that arises when confronted with that rich history.

He felt that he couldn't watch it anymore, and if he continued to watch it, he would be sick, and at this moment, his emotions were already like climbing clouds and driving fog, up and down several times.

This made Shopkeeper Qin a little dizzy.

He sat on the Taishi chair, and then found out that this chair was also made of fine sandalwood rosewood, this kind of wood produced in Nanyang, now in the capital and Nanzhili is priceless, and look at the pulp on this chair, at least it was made in the early years of this dynasty.

Look at the cup in your hand, the saucer under the cup is also a good blue and white porcelain! …,

Shopkeeper Qin's heart couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and it seemed that Uncle Ye had made a windfall in the Northeast these days! These things are of much higher quality than those things that were obtained in Fusang, the antiques are older and are well preserved, as for the calligraphy and paintings, they are all high-quality products, all of them are everyone, and even many of them are famous objects in history!

He glanced at it, this is just a small side hall, and before entering the inner house, it belongs to the category of the outer house, and there are already so many rare things, if it is in the inner house, how many more precious and rare objects must be there? And a side hall is like this, how much is the whole mansion?

Along the way, I heard that the uncle led the army to fight in the south and the north, and knocked down a lot of territory, it seems that not only the territory was defeated, but also so many benefits!

Just thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside, the shopkeeper Qin quickly stood up, the door slammed, and a young man pushed the door in, with a golden crown in brocade clothes, and a black hosta with big sleeves fluttering, it was Lian Zining.

Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The little one has seen the uncle!" ”

"Get up!" Lian Zining laughed and said: "Old Qin, how hard you have been this way, don't do this big gift, beware of twisting your waist!" ”

Lian Zining has been in a very happy mood recently.

Jinyiwei's crisis has been temporarily resolved, Wang Posan and others are already on the way, and what he does next is not something he can control, so he can only let go and deal with the matter in front of him as soon as possible. At that time, the imperial court was still slow and far away, and there was still a lot of time to deal with some things properly. The components of the new guards are very smooth, originally this batch of recruits according to the original plan was just at the beginning of the battle of Zhenyuanfu, when the Jurchen and Mongolian armies arrived, they were formed as new guards, at that time Lian Zining also had the intention of fighting to the end, as a result, due to Lian Zining's surprise attack on the Haixi Jurchen hinterland, resulting in the complete collapse of the Mongolian Jurchen coalition army, these recruits also had nearly a month of training time, these time was not wasted, the quality of this group of soldiers is very high, although the formation of the new guard is a new army, However, due to the existence of a large number of elite veterans and grassroots officers who joined in, their combat effectiveness was only one line lower than that of the main guards, but they faintly surpassed the guards formed by Wang Ji and Dong Hanchen, two Han slaves.

After the formation is completed, the combat effectiveness is quite good, and several of them have already set off, after they receive the untouchables of their own department, they will cross the river to the north, and then take root in the territory that belongs to them, reclaim the wasteland, harvest the grain, and transport the rich products of the northeast to the Guannai, and then turn them into countless silver taels and feed back, so that the Wu Yi army continues to grow and develop.

This time, maybe decades!

Lian Zining had a secret conversation with a few commanders who were about to lead the team away just now, and explained some things to them.

These troops, who successively went to the north of Songjiang, ten guards, forty thousand households, and nearly 70,000 troops, occupied 900 li of fertile land, which was the key and foundation of Lian Zining's next big plan.

As soon as he heard the news of the shopkeeper Qin, Lian Zining hurried over, he was very eager to know some news in Beijing, although there were messengers, but what these messengers knew, they might not be able to catch up with the market figures like the shopkeeper Qin.

Personally helped the shopkeeper Qin up, the shopkeeper Qin was obviously a little flattered, Lian Zining sat on the chair, and the maid waved her hand to retreat after serving tea, but saw that the shopkeeper Qin was still standing there at a loss.

Lian Zining smiled: "Old Qin, do it!" Why be so restrained, think about it when you were in Fuso. ”

Shopkeeper Qin smiled with him, and sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, he was a person who knew how to measure, but he clearly knew how big the gap was between the commander of the fourth rank and the real power earl of the super grade.

Lian Zining took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Lao Qin, ask you something, you can tell me carefully." ”

Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly said, "You just say it." ”

Next, it was basically Lian Zining who asked, and the shopkeeper Qin said.

After asking for two teas, Lian Zining asked very carefully, involving almost all aspects, and the shopkeeper Qin also answered all questions, and the answers were very detailed. (To be continued.)
