Zhang Yue did not stay in Bianlou for a long time, and on the way home, he went east from Xingzixing Street to Yujie, and when he turned south to Zhouqiao, the carriage suddenly stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Zhang Yue looked out of the window and saw that twenty or thirty carriages full of goods were parked at the east bridge, blocking the road, and a tall and thin merchant dressed in silk and wearing a flat scarf was facing away from him, shouting and directing the carriage to turn into the east street.
Beside them, hundreds of soldiers surrounded two tall officers in scarlet robes, who were talking as if they were saying goodbye. Zhang Yue suddenly felt that the figure was a little familiar, the middle-aged big officer facing this side was full of beard, but it was the medicine revisit, and the person opposite seemed to be Yang Shouzhen.
Zhang Yue was pleasantly surprised, and seeing that it was still a little far away, he asked his soldiers to go over and say something first, and then jumped out of the carriage and walked over. The two people on the opposite side were alarmed, turned their heads to see Zhang Yue, and greeted them with a big smile.
"Medicine Messenger! I haven't seen you for two years, and it's always been good! Zhang Yue opened his mouth to greet and laughed.
"Hey! What do you call a king, it's too out-of-the-box, isn't it? Congratulations to Brother Yuanzhen for rising step by step and having a bright future! Yao Chongyu congratulated.
"The last general has seen the general...... Yang Shouzhen also stepped forward to salute and hugged his fists.
"When you go back to Beijing, this is ...... This is not the place to talk, how about going to my house and sitting, it's not far from there. Zhang Yue smiled at the invitation, and when he turned his head and saw that the merchant in silk was He Ju, he couldn't help but smile unexpectedly: "Huh...... Isn't that Ho Ju? It's up to you! ”
"Yang Shouzhen has been promoted to deputy envoy of regimental training, we are going to enter the palace to see His Majesty, so we can only come to the door another day." Yao Chongyu explained, turning and walking towards his carriage.
"It's good! Lao Yang, you don't have a home in Tokyo, you can come and stay at night, and I will send someone to pick you up outside Xuande Gate. "They may return to Beijing to report on their work, which is really inconvenient, Zhang Yue invited.
"Great! See you later! Yang Shouzhen arched his hand and met again with the medicine.
He Ju couldn't interject just now, so he came over to greet him, Zhang Yue nodded and asked, "Did you bring these goods back from Yuezhou?" ”
"Yes! We don't have a trading house in Tokyo, and we don't have a warehouse, so it's always not convenient, and I discussed it with Li Deliang, so this time I brought the goods to Tokyo, just to set up a branch in Beijing. Li Deliang also went north, he went to Yanzhou, and he may also come to Tokyo after finishing his errands. He Ju explained with some apprehension.
"Okay! Let's go to my house first. Zhang Yue asked his soldiers to lead more than 20 carriages in front of him, and he rode in the chariot behind.
When he arrived at the door, Zhang Yue called his soldiers to come out to help carry the goods, opened a few boxes at random and looked at them, including silk, cloth, tea, cane sugar, etc., and asked the housekeeper to arrange for them to be transported into the warehouse for storage, and took He Ju to the middle hall.
"Don't stand, sit!" Zhang Yue saw that He Ju was a little restrained, and remembered some things reported by Li Deliang, and felt a little angry in his heart, so he asked with a calm face: "I heard that you are in Yuezhou, and you have a good life?" ”
The current Zhang Yue is very different from two years ago, there is a kind of fierce and fierce air of a soldier between his gestures, and his words and demeanor also carry a kind of confident and high-spirited majesty of the superior, which makes He Ju feel weak and panicked, and he fell to the ground with a "poof".
"The small one is that after getting married, he accepted a few concubines, which required a lot of money, so he embezzled the income of the workshop industry, but now it has been made up, and there is no penny of the general's property."
"Hmph...... embezzled my money to buy my own property, and then filled it back after earning the money, you have a long ability, you ......" This kid didn't tell the truth, Zhang Yue was clear, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and slapped the table hard.
"The general will spare me this time, it was my mother-in-law who repeatedly asked for her father-in-law, saying that she wanted to borrow money to open a weaving workshop, and was willing to give the small thirty percent, the little one had never been in charge of so much money in his life, and his hands were very loose, so he agreed." Seeing that Zhang Yue was really angry, He Ju felt a chill in his heart, so he had to confess honestly.
"Since there is such a thing, why don't you ask me for instructions in advance, Yang Shouzhen is in Yuezhou, have you discussed it with him? Your father-in-law's family is a squire, and you can betray me, you can see ...... You are not strong-minded, short-sighted, and not a person who does big things. Hating iron does not become steel, Zhang Yue's face sank like water, and said: "Since you and your father-in-law have another industry, you can also ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and you will not have a fight with me in vain, so ......"
"Don't drive me away, general! Without your support, where else can I do......" He Ju was shocked, the thing he was worried about really happened, he couldn't help kneeling and walking a few steps forward, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and crying: "More than two years ago, I was a guy in Hengshui Fuyang Restaurant, and I have followed the general to have today, and I have no retribution in this life, I am only willing to lead the horse for the general, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse." ”
"Humph! Speak better than sing! What about your festival? Zhang Yue bowed down and looked at He Ju's face with interest, this guy has gained a lot of weight, his skin is white, and his clothes are more generous than his own, a typical outburst look.
"On the way here, the little one also thought about it, and now the general doesn't believe me......" He Ju suddenly gritted his teeth, pulled out a short knife from his boot, put his left palm on the ground, and slashed down with a knife.
The knife flashed, Zhang Yue was taken aback, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block in front of him, but unexpectedly blocked a void, seeing He Ju clenching his teeth, his face was pale, his left hand was bloody, his little finger had been separated from his palm, and only a little skin was still connected, and he was speechless.
"Chop your fingers to Mingzhi? Very good! Ruthless enough! Balls...... That being the case, I would like to forgive you this time. Your brother Zhang Zhixing has been promoted to deputy commander and is currently living in the camp of the Guards Division, so you can go and meet him when you have time. The drum doesn't need to be beaten with a hammer, since he understands it in his heart, Zhang Yue didn't say more, walked out of the middle hall quickly, called Steward Meng to arrange for He Ju to stay, and found Lang Zhong to bandage his wounds.
The goods brought by He Ju were quickly put into storage, and Steward Meng arranged He Ju's affairs, so he came over with Zhang Shuyang, the account room, to report the accounts. Zhang Shuyang reported with an account book: "There are 3,000 copper coins and 1,000 gold coins in the warehouse, and the rest is not easy to estimate for the time being, so keep the accounts first." ”
"The gold coin is actually called a block? It's a thousand dollars! How much is circulating in the market now? Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh dumbly, a gold coin is equal to the usual money, the size is a bit big, and it is very thick.
"It's not much, only some big businessmen and powerful families have it, and I heard that there are not many people from the government." Zhang replied with a smile and handed over the account book.
"That's it! That's it for now! Zhang Yue sent Steward Meng and Zhang Tent to retreat, thought about it and called Du Ximi, asked him to go to the military camp to find Li Duoshou, and let him go to Xingze County and Luoyang in Zhengzhou, choose the address of the commercial house, or buy the old house, and open the branch as soon as possible, so that it is convenient for the merchants to come to Huizhou in the future.
After Zhang Yue finished dealing with the miscellaneous matters, he was about to go back to the back house, and he didn't want Feng Qianhou to come over, so he just asked him to draft and copy another copy of the chapter inviting immigrants to Huizhou, and enter the palace tomorrow morning, and he can issue an edict when he catches up with the heavens after tomorrow.
In the evening, when it was dark, Yang Shouzhen came over under the guidance of his own soldiers, Zhang Yue set up a banquet to accompany him personally, and asked some about the situation in Yuezhou, leaving him to live in the middle courtyard. But now Yang Shouzhen is no longer his subordinate, and he has married in Yuezhou again, has a family, and wants to buy a house when he returns to Beijing. The next day, Zhang Yue asked Steward Meng to take him to find a house. (To be continued.) )
