Chapter 114: Knowing Gao Peng

There was nothing to say all night, and in the morning, Jiang Hexing got up only to find that the rain had stopped. The sky has cleared www.biquge.info, although it is summer, it may have just rained, and the air is still slightly cool.

After washing up and having just had breakfast, Yangxiong came to find Jiang Hexing.

Jiang Hexing talked about last night's incident, and Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you have time, you will go to Tianlu Pavilion to read a book." However, there is almost no drinking, especially drinking in Tianlu Pavilion, and I have never heard of it. Presumably he was not happy in his heart, right? Something doesn't seem to be going well. ”

Jiang Hexing did not mention to Yang Xiong that Wang Mang planned to abolish the Jingtian system, after all, Wang Mang had not yet announced it. Besides, this was originally the primary goal of his administration, land reform, but now he is forced to let go, and I don't know how unwilling he is in his heart. In addition, when I talked about Zhou Gong with Wang Mang yesterday, it is estimated that there is too much difference in understanding between the two sides. In particular, Wang Mang is now reforming based on Zhou Li, and he sees the people differently from Jianghexing.

After all, Pingzhou is the territory laid by Jianghexing, and it is not directly managed by Wang Mang, even if Wang Mang is unhappy, there is not much he can do. Besides, now that there are fights all around, he can't fall out with Jiang Hexing, he especially needs Jiang Hexing, the signboard of Pingzhou, to help him decorate the faΓ§ade.

There will be no problem for the time being, but it's hard to say in the future, Jiang Hexing thought about these silently in his heart.

At this moment, Fan Jia ran over, and there were DuPont and a group of people waiting behind him.

Jiang Hexing asked them how they have been busy lately? In addition to the tribute, how are they sold?

Fan Jiayi frowned and talked about the reason for the incident. Fan Jia and a few people ran for a few days, but the effect was not very good, except for DuPont's cotton, the rest of the people didn't do much.

Fan Jia said that although the imperial court controls a lot of business now, many of the businesses he does are not directly managed by the imperial court, and he may bring a lot of goods, and these businessmen are far from being the same as before, and some seem to avoid them.

Fan Jia asked Jiang Hexing if he had offended any officials of the new dynasty or anything like that, why in the past few days, his former friends were not as active as before, and nothing was just a matter of meaning.

Jiang Hexing suddenly remembered what Wang Mang said last night that he wanted to abolish the Jingtian system, needless to say, their merchants in Chang'an had probably guessed this news a long time ago.

Now money is getting less and less worth every day, and the only thing that can keep oneself worth is the field. As soon as Wang Mang's order came out, it is estimated that the land price will have to be pushed up a lot.

Land prices have further pushed up land rents, grain prices are estimated to be a step higher, and the land of large households is estimated to have to be expanded, making it even more difficult for displaced people to rent land.

Wang Mang hadn't announced the news yet, Jiang Hexing just said lightly: "If Chang'an is not easy to sell, you can go to Luoyang to have a look." It really doesn't work, and in the end, I'll figure it out. ”

Fan Jia said with a smile on his face: "I have a friend in Luoyang, I'll go and have a look." ”

Fan Jia was just about to leave, and Jiang He said: "Father-in-law, let's see if you can find a high place closer to the Yellow River and see if you can buy a piece of land." If you can't buy it, I'll find a way to ask Your Majesty. ”

Fan Jia said: "And Wang, you want a piece of land, what are you going to do?" I'll see what kind of place fits. ”

Jiang River said: "The place that can be used as a warehouse is not too far from the Yellow River." The bigger, the better. ”

Fan Jiadao: "Hewang, is it that the price of grain is going to rise again, even if you get the land this year, it will take a year or two to build?" ”

Jiang Hexing said: "To prepare for the future, you can go find a place first." ”

Fan Jia received the order, happily left with the merchant and went to Luoyang.

As soon as Fan Jia left, there was a sound of children crying at the door of the Barbarian Mansion.

Jiang Hexing is a little strange, why did anyone come here, this barbarian mansion is considered a place to receive foreign and foreign domains, how can a woman come to the door, what is wrong with Fan Jia?

Jiang Hexing took Yang Xiong and walked towards the gate together.

Two of his own soldiers ran to the front of the river line and went to the door to inquire.

Jiang He walked to the promenade at the door and found a young woman with a hairpin cloth skirt and a vegetable face under an elm tree outside the door, holding a one-year-old child in her arms. The child kept crying, and the young woman seemed a little helpless, just crying silently.

A pro-soldier told Jiang Hexing that this was the wife and son of Gao Peng, a small pedestrian.

Jiang Hexing frowned and asked, "Who is the little pedestrian, why don't I know him." ”

The soldiers hurriedly explained that they came to live in the Barbarian Mansion, and the court was responsible for the pawns. The pawn guest is responsible for the reception of the princes of the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other places. Jiang Hexing is dealing with their pawns, so naturally he doesn't know the errand runners below.

The specific work is done by these little pedestrians, and now the little pedestrians who often run errands here are Gao Peng.

Jiang Hexing asked his soldiers to find Gao Peng to see what was going on.

The soldiers told Jiang Hexing that today was Gao Peng's day off (at that time, officials had five days off and one day off, which was used to wash their hair and take a bath). And Gao Peng seems to be where to study, what kind of doctorate he wants to study, etc., it is estimated that he can be promoted, but he did not go home. It just so happened that there was an accident at home, and his wife came to him.

Coincidentally, the attire of the soldiers in this barbarian mansion was different from the attire of the soldiers of the New Dynasty, and they all had short hair, which scared the young woman into not daring to speak.

Yang Xiong came over and said that the child was afraid that he was not feeling well, and he should go to the doctor to see it quickly.

Jiang Hexing looked at his dress, it was too strange compared to the people here, and smiled and asked Yangxiong to understand.

Then send someone to find the other little pedestrians, and ask them to hurry up and find Gao Peng.

After a while, two of Jiang Hexing's personal soldiers rushed out of the Barbarian Mansion on fast horses, and took a small pedestrian behind the horse to find Gao Peng.

Jiang Hexing was in a hurry and couldn't help much, so he called Xu Lang again and asked him to talk to Yangxiong and the two old men with this young woman.

The two old men really had a face, and they looked much better than Jiang Hexing's gang of barbarians, and the young woman told Yangxiong about the situation.

The child was sick and kept crying, and the young woman couldn't help it. The family had no money, so they had to come to Gao Peng, who knew that Gao Peng had a bunch of barbarians here, and he couldn't find him. The young woman was both frightened and helpless, and she was at a loss, so she had to stay at the door.

Yang Xiong asked about the situation and wanted to take her to see a doctor first, and the young woman saw that Yang Xiong was very kind, so she believed him, and got into the carriage with him to find the healer.

Soon after Yang Xiong left, the soldiers returned to the Barbarian Mansion with Gao Peng. Jiang Hexing asked people to go to the doctor to see the child first, and then talk about what happened when they came back.

A soldier took him to Yangxiong and them.

When the sky was about to dark, Yang Xiong and Xu Lang came back from outside in a carriage. Jiang Hexing asked about the past, the child's illness was no longer serious, and now the family had been sent back. Xu Lang not only took out the medical expenses, but also left him a lot of money before leaving Gao Peng's house, so that he could come to the Barbarian Mansion after taking care of the child's illness.

Jiang Hexing was very satisfied with Xu Lang's arrangement, and put a banquet for the two old people, which was considered a treat, after all, the old people were a little tired after being busy for a long time, and they didn't drink much wine, so they dispersed. (To be continued.) )
