Time flies, the days fly by, it's September in a blink of an eye, and there is gradually a hint of coolness in the morning and evening. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Yue went to the Guards Department every day as usual to show up, to deal with daily military affairs, sometimes when he met colleagues, he would sit for a while, but most of the time he went home quickly.
That afternoon, Li Duoshou, who had been out on errands, finally returned to Beijing and went straight to Zhang Yue's mansion to ask for a meeting. Zhang Yue received the housekeeper's gift, so he went to the study to wait first, and asked the housekeeper to bring Li Duoshou in.
Li Duoshou looked simple and a little tired, and his face was not very good-looking. Zhang Yue was a little surprised, got up to greet him and ushered him into a seat, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng came back before, and now he should go to Guanzhong, right?" ”
"No...... Still in Luoyang! Because of the fire in our newly established Huihe Commercial Bank's warehouse, thousands of stone of grain and a large number of silk groceries were burned down, which is worth more than 50,000 yuan! In addition, the Yongxing Military Mansion in Guanzhong is not going well, although the Han clan in Shuzhong has invested 100,000 yuan, which is considered to be a component, but our wine and milk tea in Yanzhou still have not opened up the situation in Guanzhong. As for the trafficking of green salt, the Han family directly traded with Fengxiang Wang Jing, so the production and sales of the Huizhou salt farm were not good. Li Duoshou said it concisely first.
"Hmm...... The industry in the northwest is still not on the right track, and it is difficult to gain a foothold if it does not form a systematic marketing one-stop for a day. If the Han clan didn't want the salt of our state, then the Hexi trade road would be stuck to death, and it would not be allowed to pass, especially the war horses and hides, and it was strictly forbidden to flow into Shuzhong. For the time being, let Li Deliang transfer money from Yuezhou and Tangzhou to support Guanzhong, as for Luoyang, what is going on? "As a general of the forbidden army, it is not good to leave Beijing for a long time, Zhang Yue can only grasp the general direction, and the actual operation must be completed by his subordinates, but when he encounters trouble, he can't sit idly by.
"When he first arrived in Luoyang, he quickly bought a medium-sized store covering an area of 15 acres in Xishi as a warehouse, and purchased a batch of grain to be collected and shipped to Huizhou in small quantities, of course, the most important thing was sugar, tea, silk and other valuable goods.
After He Ju and Li Deliang successively brought a large amount of money to help, I bought a large store covering an area of 30 acres as a warehouse at the north gate of Luoyang South City, near Tongli Fang, so that the momentum was loud, and it attracted the attention of people with hearts. Unexpectedly, they later changed their capital and added profits, not only to collect the net street money, but also to forcibly buy shares, but they were not willing to share capital. ”
"Who are these people? How dare you be so arrogant! Didn't Mr. Feng ask about this? Zhang Yue said suspiciously.
"Mr. Feng is secretly investigating this matter in Luoyang, and there is a letter to bring back, please take a look!" After Li Duoshou finished speaking briefly, he took out a roll of thin silk and handed it over.
Zhang Yue took it and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be so angry that he was angry, he slapped the table hard, and asked angrily: "Who is this Li Jingsheng?" Is the relationship with the Ten Elders of Luoyang deep? ”
"This person is a tyrant in Luoyang, all the large shops in Luoyang Market, this person has to collect the street money, and the past merchants have also doubled their blackmail, it is said that most of the money obtained is for the ten old families, and Xijing stayed behind Wu Xingde to this person is also a laissez-faire attitude, so in Luoyang, small and medium-sized officials and businessmen dare not offend him."
"How can this be justified, this nail must be removed!" Zhang Yue was very annoyed, Feng Qianhou had no manpower in Luoyang, it was not easy for him to find out who was behind the scenes, and there was still a mess of things waiting for him to deal with in Guanzhong, perhaps, he could only let Bian Ji make a move.
Zhang Yue asked Li Duoshou to live in the house temporarily, and called the housekeeper to arrange the carriage and horses, went to the bedroom to change into a cyan round-necked robe, and asked the maid Zhilan to go to the West Wing Courtyard to call Bian Yu back.
"Husband! Where are you going, will I go too? Bian Yu is holding a flower collapse in her hand, she is learning to do needlework, and the peony pattern she has drawn is embroidered unevenly with the stitches.
"Go to Yongkang Fang and have a look! You haven't been back for a few days, have you? Zhang Yue said with a smile.
"Okay! Speaking of which, I still have some gadgets that I haven't brought with me...... You wait for me for a while! ”
Bian Yuxi diligently went back to the room to change clothes, and when she came out, she was already dressed up, her hair was coiled up and combed into a falling horse, and she also deliberately inserted the lotus-chasing silver hairpin with the white jade lotus head that Zhang Yue gave her. Dressed in a black collared sandalwood short jacket, a light pink thin flower skirt with a corset, and a curtain with her arms crooked, she is completely dressed as a little woman.
"Not bad! It's beautiful! Your brother and sister-in-law will be happy to see it! Zhang Yue praised with a smile, took Bian Yu's hand and went out, and met the second brother Zhang Cheng when he passed the middle hall, he came back from practicing arrows in the shooting range in the west, and he was still holding a horn bow in his hand.
"I've seen my brother! I've seen my sister-in-law! Zhang Cheng greeted him honestly.
"Huh...... Uncle is as tall as your eldest brother, you have to pay attention to it and see which official's little lady is suitable for you! "It's already familiar to meet every day,Bian Yu laughed and teased.
Zhang Cheng grinned and smiled shyly. Zhang Yue encouraged him twice, took Bian Yu out of the front door, the carriage was ready, the porter Lao Zhou was carrying gifts and putting them in the car, and when Zhang Yue and his wife got on the car, they went to the front to sit and drove the carriage to Yongkangfang.
It's not too far away from the two squares, and it's a little while. When the porter saw that his aunt and the little lady had returned to the door, he couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately opened the door of the mansion to welcome them in, and informed the master to come out to greet them.
Bian Ji was at home, and when he heard the news, he personally greeted his wife Zhang. The two sides met and exchanged a few words, Zhang led Bian Yu into the back house to talk, Bian Ji took Zhang Yue to his study to sit down, and passed the maid to tea, so he said straight to the point with a smile: "Something happened in Luoyang, right?" ”
"The news is really well-informed, I guess you already have a way to solve it, right?" Zhang Yue was surprised in his heart, but it was not surprising when he thought of the hidden power under Bian Ji's hands.
"It's okay for those people in my hands to find out the news, protect the caravan, and do some shady things, but to deal with this Li Jingsheng, you have to have real soldiers, otherwise, I would have cleaned up this person a long time ago." Bian Ji said confidently.
"Oh? Could it be that this person has something to do with the Luoyang garrison? Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard this, and soon wanted to confess his joints. Since Wu Xingde connived and the ten elders of Luoyang sheltered, it was normal for this Li Jingsheng to have soldiers in his hands.
"This person was originally the commander of the Hezhong Army, and he somehow ended up in Luoyang, and he actually ran a plate of forces, from Zhengzhou in the east to Shaanzhou in the west, and his strength was not weak. If you want to clean him up, you must either catch it all or take it for your own use, depending on how you choose? ”
"It is very difficult to collect it for its own use, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is better to take it for your own use except for its head, but this matter must not be made a big fuss!" Behind this Li Jingsheng are the Ten Elders of Luoyang and Wu Xingde, and the possibility of subduing them is too low, so Zhang Yue quickly made a decision.
"Yes! The crossbowmen under your command transferred a hundred to me, and after this matter is done, I will go to Guanzhong again and deal with the matter over there, just avoiding the woman in the White Lotus Society seeking revenge, is it interesting enough? Bian Ji looked through Zhang Yue's appearance and grinned strangely.
"Thank you, uncle! I have a question, don't you feel tired of running around the rivers and lakes? Zhang Yue smiled meaningfully.
"It's a little greasy, but the forbidden army is okay! How much can you give me? Bian Ji raised his chin high, with a proud face.
"Alright! When I didn't say! Just keep being your hero! Zhang Yue rolled his eyes speechlessly, the forbidden army is all envoys! The location is definitely not low, this guy is not interested. (To be continued.) )
