The sixth day of the fourth month of the first year of Yangshuo. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, Zhang Jingchen, the commander of his hometown, received a notice from the head of the family, Han Chong, the guard, that the head of the family had been called.

Compared with ten years ago, the old family Ling, who is over sixty years old, has gray temples and a little rickety back. Along the way, no matter the male servant or the female servant, everyone who saw it was respectful and courteous - after serving as a family commander for 20 years, Zhang Jingchen's prestige in the Fuping Marquis Mansion was only under the head of the family and the housewife.

From the house where Zhang Jingchen lived to the East Garden, where the head of the family was located, it was only two or three hundred steps, Zhang Jingchen walked all the way, and counted silently in his heart, and only met two groups of male servants and one group of maids in total, but only six people. At this moment, the old family can only sigh.

Once upon a time, the Hou Mansion patrolled a team of ten steps, a group of slaves at a hundred paces, and in its heyday, there were more than 3,000 slaves and maids in the Mansion...... And how much is left? As a family commander (chief steward), Zhang Jingchen knew the number of people in the mansion very well - three hundred and twenty-seven people.

If there is a large Hou Mansion, there will be only three hundred and twenty-seven people left. Where have all the people gone? Some traveled with caravans to the West Pole to seal the country; Some were transferred to Zhang's dock in the north; Some were sent to Wulei City and Wusun Chigu City in the Western Regions to do various auxiliary work for the migrating displaced people...... There are fewer people day by day, but it's good that the family is thriving day by day, but look at the present......

Zhang Jingchen only thought of crying in front of the tomb of the old owner of Fengqiyuan.

Zhang Jingchen wanted to cry at the moment, but when he saw the head of the family, what caught his eye was a smiling face.

"General Wang is sick." Zhang Fang shook the news that had just come from his hand, and smiled.

Zhang Jingchen was stunned, uh, it is indeed good news. It's just that the general has been accumulating prestige for a long time, even if he talks about it behind his back, Zhang Jingchen doesn't dare, he has to respond.

At this time, Zhang Jingchen noticed a strange situation - the head of the family was wearing a crown and a deep robe under the service of two maidservants. It's a formal dress, what kind of day is it, or is there something big?

Zhang Fang knew what he was thinking just by looking at the expression on Lao Lao Ling's face, and said with a smile: "There is indeed a big thing." Waiting for the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister will come to deliver the appointment proclamation and the fish charm, and the Fu Festival Order will also come to collect the seal ribbon, and he should be greeted with a crown dress. ”

When I heard the old order, I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Dressed properly, Zhang Fang signaled to his hometown to approach, restrained his smile, and said: "After I leave Chang'an, you will dismiss all the servants within three days." Sell everything in this house, sell everything you can, and have the right to pay severance pay. ”

The old family was shocked: "The head of the family, this, how does this make ......"

Zhang Fang interrupted: "Believe me, this mansion will soon be taken back by the imperial court. Sell it early, and you can squeeze some surplus value. If it's late, it's only cheaper for others. ”

The old family Ling was shocked and angry: "The head of the family has been deprived of his post and deposed from Chang'an, they ...... Will they not give up? ”

Zhang Fang was speechless, his eyes were warm, and he quietly looked at his hometown.

The old family Ling still didn't give up, and struggled: "Why don't you beg the Son of Heaven again?" ”

Zhang Fang's expression was indifferent and noncommittal.

The hometown made him fall to the ground in mourning, and the old tears were rampant.

After a long time, I heard the calm voice of the head of the family: "This is the matter, you should leave as soon as possible, Chang'an should not stay for a long time." ”

The old man choked up and paused, and slowly turned around, his back desolate.

The middle door of the Fuping Marquis Mansion, which had been closed for half a month, was wide open, and the well-dressed Fuping Marquis Zhang Fang stood in front of the mansion and welcomed the Prime Minister Sizhi He Wu and Fu Jie Ling, who had just arrived from the palace office, into the mansion.

He Wu is not enough, Prime Minister Si Zhi is 2,000 stones, and Fu Jie Ling is just a subordinate of Shaofu, with a rank of 600 stones, compared with a prince like Zhang Fang, the world is far away, not to mention the middle gate, and even the side door may not be able to enter on weekdays. But today is different, the Fu Jie Decree is to exercise power on behalf of the Son of Heaven, confiscate Zhang Fang's Guangluxun seal ribbon, and seal it in Nafu until the next Guangluxun takes office.

The Prime Minister Sizhi He Wu sent the appointment documents and fish charms of the Dunhuang County Guard to Zhang Fang, and from the beginning of receiving this letter of appointment, the day when Zhang Fang left Beijing entered the countdown.

This will be Zhang's last day in Chang'an.

……

"It seems that the Marquis of Fuping really has the intention of living in Dunhuang for a long time!" Zhao Lin looked at the contract with the bright red seal of the Marquis of Fuping in his hand, and smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and he was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Lin heard from a tooth man (intermediary) that the Marquis of Fuping intended to transfer Zhang's tea shop, and he immediately paid attention. Zhang's Tea Shop is the only designated store in Chang'an to make, supply and sell tea, and there is no second one in Chang'an.

When the wind of tea drinking swept inside and outside the court, many powerful people also sharpened their heads and tried their best to get tea trees from all over the country. But when the secret of roasted tea was strictly controlled, the Chang'an magnates who had empty tea trees finally got nothing. Therefore, finding a way to find out the secret of the tea or to buy the recipe has become the best choice. However, after half a year, none of them have succeeded. Now I suddenly heard that the Marquis of Fuping intended to transfer, so it was worth it! Isn't this the same as sending a golden doll to the door?

Zhao Lin immediately hooked up with the tooth man, and then was introduced. Originally, Zhao Lin was still a little skeptical, but when he saw the contract taken out by the young man who was accompanied by the director of Zhang's tea shop, he suddenly took a reassuring pill. He knew this young man, the guard of the Marquis of Fuping, called Yuxi, and the contract was also stamped with the seal of the Marquis of Fuping.

People are not fake, the appointment is also true, the goods are genuine, but the price is staggering.

Saying goodbye to Yuxi, Zhao Lin returned to the mansion, insomnia for a whole night, and finally gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and! Since it is a golden doll, of course, there must be a price for a golden doll. Stake your net worth, as long as you bring back this golden doll, are you worried that you won't send it in the future? Not to mention anything else, just the palace special supply, you can earn back your net worth.

Before Zhao Lin became the marquis, he was the family order of Princess Yang'a, and he had heard a lot about the things in the palace, and he was also clear about the huge profits of the special tea, and knew that this was a profitable deal. Similarly, because of his many years of living at home, Zhao Lin has accumulated a lot of wealth through various means and gray income. Recently, he has been a marquis, and he has received a lot of congratulatory gifts and care, so he can be regarded as a little local tyrant. Because of this, Zhao Lin has the confidence to make this deal.

The store was successfully delivered, and then reported and signed by the Jingzhao Yin Office. Zhao Linle frantically pinched the "secret recipe", recruited people around, and was ready to do a great job.

At dusk, Yu Xi returned to the Hou Mansion with three carts full of goods and reported to the master.

"Red gold hundred yi, pearl three dendrobs, twenty-seven pieces of jade of various colors, thirteen ......horses of Qi silk," Zhang Fang smiled while reading, "Very good, I can already imagine how Zhao Jialing will look crazy in a few days." ”

Zhang Fang's tea shop changed hands is true, and the contract is also true, but it is a woman who marries several times, and Jing Zhaoyin's assistant who is in charge of reporting and signing has been bought. Zhao Lin is the third "husband", and the first two "husbands" are Ping'ahou Wang Tan and Quyang Hou Wanggen. And the so-called "secret recipe" is also fake, when these people find out the truth, hehe, welcome to chase brother.

"Go on, change hands a few more. Remember, only money, silk and jewelry, not houses, fields, cattle and horses. Zhang Fang had a little regret, Wang's blow was still a little faster than expected, and some assets could not be completely transferred away, so he could only take one step at a time, and he could stop the loss as much as he could.

"Let's go, it's time to visit the sick general." Zhang Fang said casually, "Don't let people say behind my back that I have a small amount of amplifiers, I am confined to political disputes, and I don't even understand the basics of life." ”
