Chapter 7 Yanchi Ge Family

After staying in Tongguan for a few days, this Fenglingdu can finally be sailed.

The three of them crossed the Fengling Crossing not far from the five old peaks, and the eldest grandson, who was not interested, passed under the mountain.

In addition to taking office this time, there is another purpose.

Ge Chengze's family, who was good with the eldest grandson when he was in school, was this salt pond, and not far from the Wulao Peak was the Ge family.

The Ge family has lived on salt for generations, so the eldest grandson inquired and easily found the Ge family.

This Gejia family is also a big clan in the local area, and the whole clan lives on salt, so this Gejiabao is not far from the salt pond.

The Ge family can be said to market the entire northern land with the salt of the salt pond, and when the seawater salt has not been better extracted from the impurities, the Ge family can also be regarded as a rich party.

Of course, the salt produced in this salt pond of more than 100 square kilometers cannot be monopolized by the Ge family, and the Ge family merchants mainly take Henan Road.

Looking at the past from afar, this Gejiabao is also a grand architectural complex.

There are many battlements on the rammed city wall of loess, and there are people checking at the gate of the city, but there are many merchants and people who come in and out, and even the scale is a few points larger than that of some county seats.

After signing up for the name, the three of them and six horses entered the small city smoothly.

There is a huge open space at the entrance of the small town, surrounded by all kinds of shops, mainly salt and pickled products, which seems to be a trading area.

The place where the trading area is located is surrounded by a city wall, which has the posture of an urn city.

The eldest grandson didn't see anything famous, and he didn't study much about the functions of ancient buildings.

This place is under the jurisdiction of Puzhou, Hedong County, because it is not far from the core area of the Central Plains, coupled with hundreds of years of war, it has developed a fierce folk customs here.

As for the Ge family, which started with salt, without a reliable escort team, it is impossible for this salt to be sold smoothly.

Over time, the scale of this Gejiabao has become larger and larger, and this place is not far from the iron-producing Shangdang, and the Ge family also has a well-equipped team, and under normal circumstances, no unsightly horse bandits dare to come to find trouble.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan thanked the Ge family for funding the army, and also acquiesced to the existence of this army, and in the Zhenguan period, in addition to restricting long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows and large bed nu, it was not explicitly prohibited, but it was incorporated into the army in the name of Zhichong Mansion.

was interrogated again at the gate of the city of Wengcheng, and the eldest grandson did not explain the identity of his official in the Ministry of Industry, but only said that he was visiting his friends. This time it was indeed not easy to get in, it turned out that there was a small group of horse bandits in the vicinity recently, and this gang of people was specially dealing with the local big households, so the three of them had to wait at the city gate to report.

After a short effort, a middle-aged man in his early forties hurried over with a few retinues that looked like subordinates.

"But the virtuous nephew is here?" The middle-aged man asked towards the eldest grandson.

"I don't know what to call my husband." In an era when the average age is only in his thirties, forty years old can already be called an old man.

"Oh, look at me in a hurry, I'm Cheng Ze's father." Someone who comes to introduce themselves.

The doorkeeper and the others who came with him all looked like hell, although this Ge Liuye was a side branch of the Ge family, but because he basically controlled more than half of the sales of the Ge family's salt industry over the years, even the old lady of the Ge family was polite when he saw it, and he would ask for something to discuss, but today for such a young man, he was full of smiles, which was too abnormal.

"Little nephew to see uncle." Changsun Tang had no choice but to change his words, when will he become an old thief, Changsun Tang sighed like this more than once in his heart.

"Excuse me, this is not the place to speak, let's go in and say, go in and say." As he spoke, he came up and pulled the sleeve of the eldest grandson and walked inside.

"Childe, I'm really sorry, but it's a small responsibility." The Ge family, who had just stopped the eldest grandson, hurriedly apologized.

"Oh, this has been a bit unpeaceful recently, so they have been a little strict, and please don't be surprised." This Ge Chengze's father is also a human spirit, and he knows what is going on at a glance.

"It's okay, it's the duty." The eldest grandson will not deal with a gatekeeper, but he will not go over and give some rewards, the majesty that the superior should have must still have, and there is no rule and no square circle, this is the most basic rule.

These two groups of people took the eldest grandson and Ge Liuye as the center, and walked on the streets of Gejiabao.

It is said that it is a street, that is, the road surface is paved with bluestone slabs, and some places are still bare loess.

While walking, Ge Liuye introduced the customs of Gejiabao, and entered Ge Chengze's house after talking and laughing all the way.

This Ge Chengze's home is some distance from the ancestral shrine of the Ge family in the center of the town, which shows that his previous status was not very high. However, when it comes to the size and style of the house, it is one of the best.

Enter the hall and sit down.

"Uncle, I wonder if this Cheng Ze is at home?" It was Ge Chengze's father who came out to greet him, not Ge Chengze, and the eldest grandson knew that Ge Chengze was not at home.

"I'm ashamed to say this, I originally needed to go to this officially, but Cheng Ze went to Henan and Luoyang for me to go to Yanyan." said that he was ashamed, but this Sixth Master Ge's face was full of smiles, and he looked like he was full of everything.

"Oh, how long have you been there?" The eldest grandson asked.

"This is a trip that takes place soon after the New Year every year, and basically encounters this flood in a big or small way, so I went while the river was still frozen." Ge Liuye has to answer all questions.

"When do you expect to be back?"

"This should be fast, every year it turns around these days, but this year's flood is much bigger than in previous years, it should be blocked by the river." At this time, the communication conditions are that if they don't return for a few years, most of the family members think that the person is gone, and there is no way to find it, let alone the accurate date of going home.

"Oh, that's right. I don't know if I've ever married? "I haven't been in touch for a while.

"Not yet, but I did order a family."

"Oh, I don't know when I can set a date?" The eldest grandson asked.

"Probably this winter, this specific day will be some time later, and I will invite this person to come and make peace." When Ge Liuye talked about this, some of the wrinkles that had been piled up because of happiness were even deeper.

"That's hello, but I don't know where I am this winter." The eldest grandson was filled with deep regret.

"I wonder if the virtuous nephew has any other business to come this time? If it's inconvenient then I didn't ask. "There are some things that others don't take the initiative to mention, it's best not to take the initiative to ask, Ge Liuye obviously knows this well.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm in charge of the tuntian affairs in the northern border area." The position of the eldest grandson does not involve any secrets, and it has nothing to do with the Ge family, so the eldest grandson said it happily.
