Chapter 125: Self-Defilement

The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, was the day when Xiao went to He Fu to take a sign of illness.

Nazheng is the fourth ceremony of the "six rites" of ancient weddings, also known as the completion of the appointment, the bride price, and the most important gift in addition to the last ceremony.

In the morning, the light snow that had been falling intermittently for two days also stopped, Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi rode two sweaty and bloody BMW in front, starting from the Liangguo Mansion in Qinrenfang, followed by the mighty bride price team, and went to He Mansion in Anyefang.

Between the two squares, the distance is not too far, but there are thousands of empty alleys along the way, and everyone is watching.

There is no other reason, there is too much news about Xiao Qu's illness, Youzhou is in turmoil, and the return of a big victory is a piece of news; Sihai Trading Company recruits a large number of workers, and it is news that a large construction site has been set aside in Lantian County to prepare for the construction of a workshop;

Yesterday, the ban on evil money almost offended the entire Chang'an elite class, and it was another piece of news; Today's fanfare has naturally attracted the attention of most Chang'an people.

Ordinary businessmen and ordinary people sincerely revere and appreciate Xiao Quai, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, the battle in the river, and the battle of Youzhou played the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the momentum of the Tang Dynasty.

Even these ordinary businessmen and ordinary people were a little more proud because of these two battles, and now when they see those Hu people, they don't want to look at them with their eyes.

The other is that Xiao Quai's crackdown on bad money this time has really benefited the general public, especially these ordinary businessmen, who are convenient to use money, and they can use it with confidence.

And most of the powerful people who hated Xiao Qu's illness and cut off their financial routes, most of them sent their henchmen to watch the ceremony, in order to find out the fault of Xiao Qu's illness. They are good to attack on impeachment in this chapter.

They want to find fault with Xiao Qu's illness. Xiao Qu's illness gave them this opportunity. That's what Li Mi said. Xiao Quzhi did the same.

Behind Xiao Quai's illness, there is a sedan chair containing the Nanmu gift letter containing the "Book of Intermarriage", and behind the sedan chair, there are more than ten of the most luxurious open-top four-wheeled carriages, each of which is inlaid with gold and silver, which is extremely gorgeous.

The front one is inlaid with gems of all sizes, all kinds of colors. The most conspicuous are the two fist-sized rubies and sapphires at the front of the car, the red ones are like a burning flame, and the blue ones are like the deep sea, shining under the warm winter sun.

In addition to the more than a dozen luxurious and gorgeous new four-wheeled carriages, the most conspicuous thing is the dowry on the carriage, in addition to the five-colored satin, large bunches of brocade silk, piles of copper coins, pigs, sheep and livestock, rice, flour, grain and oil, game, game, snacks, fruits, cheese, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, onion and ginger.

The four-wheeled carriage at the front, which was inlaid with various gemstones, was carrying three boxes of Datang gold coins, three boxes of Datang silver coins, and three boxes of large pieces of jewelry and jade. A box of cloud brocade embroidery, garments and satin inlaid with gold thread.

Liang Guogong had the money to give such an expensive dowry gift. No one will say anything, but he doesn't, ten big boxes with gold, silver, jewelry, and expensive clothes are just open to everyone to see, and Xiao Qubing himself is wearing a bright yellow robe outside the groom's clothes!

The imperial robe given to him by the emperor, he didn't burn incense and worship it at home, but he really wore it on his body, but the robe had a five-clawed golden dragon!

Such fanfare, wearing a dragon robe, deliberately showing off his wealth and showing off his wealth, immediately formed a huge sensation. The ordinary people and ordinary businessmen on both sides of the street looked straight and couldn't stop talking.

And those on both sides of the street, the restaurants in Fang City watched the Chang'an magnates from a distance, and they couldn't wait to run down and eat Xiao Qu's illness alive.

It's good that you are sick and blocked our financial route, but you are wantonly accumulating wealth. Two hundred guan one jar of immortal drunk and immortal brewing, now sold to four hundred guan a pot can not be supplied every day of immortal tea, ten guan one, ten guan a bottle of soap and rose glycerin, one or two consistent meat floss, as well as a variety of tables, chairs, sofas that sell sky-high prices.

During this time, Zuixianlou and Sihai Supermarket have made crazy money, and now I heard that they are preparing for another four-sea carriage and horse shop, ready to sell this new four-wheeled carriage, and it will definitely be extremely profitable at that time.

Originally, everyone was extremely angry about this, but Xiao Qu's illness had the support of the emperor, and most of the income of the Four Seas Trading Company had to be used to train soldiers and hand over to the emperor's big surplus treasury.

Even if these magnates are red-eyed, they can't do anything, but it's good now, you Xiao Quai's illness actually used all the money you earned to give dowry gifts. Also, so many jewels and jades must be the trophies secretly intercepted by Xiao Quai's battle in the river and the battle of Youzhou!

As the long convoy entered the He Mansion compound in Anye Fang, the sound of discussion outside gradually floated.

"This Liang Guogong is really a young hero, tsk, not only the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, but also the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, he is really rich!"

"What do you know, it's true that the Liang Guo Guild makes money, but it is said that the money earned by the Four Seas Trading Company is all from the state. Liang Guogong showed his wealth so much, and the Tang Dynasty gold and silver coins have not yet been officially circulated, so he used them as a dowry, which is really incomprehensible. ”

"Are you saying that Liang Guogong is corrupt and perverts the law, and guards himself and steals? And he is also wearing a royal robe with a five-clawed golden dragon, is he disrespectful? ”

"Silence, I didn't say that."

In a small three-story building on the street in the northeast corner of Chongye Fang, Yang Yuyao, the wife of the country, had already been dazzled by the first four-wheeled carriage and the gold, silver and jewelry on the carriage, and she still had some trouble coming back to her senses.

Beside her, the eldest sister, Mrs. Han, had a covetous look on her face, and her eyes lit up and said: "This Xiao Qu is really rich, and the Drunken Immortal Building and the Four Seas Trading Company are so profitable." ”

Yang Yuyao came back to her senses and said indignantly: "Let's go back and send someone to invite that Youzhou Hu'er to come to our house." ”

The eighth sister, Mrs. Qin Guo's eyes are hot, but at the same time, she can't help but have some doubts in her heart, this Xiao Qubing has just lost her holy grace and offended the magnates of the Manchu Dynasty, at this time, she deliberately shows off her wealth without any scruples, what is the reason?

Also having such questions is Xiao Quai's prospective father-in-law, the new Chang'an City Commander He Jian. At the banquet in the room, after Xiao Qu's illness gave a round of wine, He Jian couldn't help but ask.

"Virtuous son-in-law, now that you are no longer in grace, and you are full of enemies, you have nothing to rely on. The powerful who hate you for cutting off their wealth. They all open their eyes to find your fault.

This time. You should be cautious. Keeping a low profile, why do you want to do the opposite this time? Aren't you afraid of impeachment? ”

After He Jian finished speaking, his grandfather Wang Yuanbao and his other two uncles Wang Yucheng and Wang Yujue also nodded, indicating that this was also their question.

Xiao Qubing and He Ke'er beside him glanced at each other, and said with a slight smile: "If you go back to your father-in-law, your son-in-law will deliberately show them and let them impeach themselves." ”

He Jian's mouth opened wide. It took a long time to say, "Why is this?" ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "The concubine Niangniang treats me very well, and with the relationship between the concubine Niangniang, even if she is impeached, she will not be too oppressive."

This expedition to Youzhou, my prestige has also been played, there are people Tu and the Tang Dynasty God of War these two names, now Qunhu has different intentions, Your Majesty will always keep me to deter the attached tribes.

In addition, I can still make money for Your Majesty, even if I am impeached by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, I believe Your Majesty will still protect me. ”

He Jian still didn't understand: "Even so. But why don't you stop there? ”

Xiao Qu's illness was busy picking fish bones for He Ke'er, and He Ke'er smiled and said, "Daddy." What's not to understand about this. Xiao Lang did this, firstly, to defile himself and eliminate His Majesty's suspicions, but also to deliberately give the handle to His Majesty.

There are many examples of this kind from ancient times to the present, Wang Qian, Xiao He, and King Lanling are all like this.

Second, Xiao Lang is trying to take this opportunity to jump out of Chang'an and develop elsewhere. ”

Xiao Quzhi put the two pieces of fish meat with clean fish bones into He Keer's plate, and nodded: "That's right, I'm going to go to Luoyang to stay in the eastern capital." ”

He Jian and Wang were slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "Go to Luoyang?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Quzhi smiled: "Luoyang is good, the center of the world, the waterway transportation is developed, it is far away from the power center, and the business is developed, it is the most suitable for developing a career." ”

Wang Yuanbao said: "What kind of career to develop?" What about Chang'an's business, the workshop in Lantian County didn't have time to start work after choosing the address, didn't you do it? ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "Yes, I plan to build a large four-wheeled carriage workshop in Lantian and sell the four-wheeled carriage to the whole Tang Dynasty."

At the same time build a cement workshop to build roads and buildings of the kind I described; A small glass workshop and the largest paper workshop were built. These include Lao Yuezhang, Ah Gong and uncles.

As for Luoyang, for the time being, I plan to build a large glass workshop, a winemaking workshop, and a shipbuilding workshop, which is what I am talking about. ”

Sixth uncle Wang Yujue said: "But you offended almost the entire magnates and families in Chang'an this time, and if you leave, our affairs in Chang'an will not be easy to do."

Don't say anything else, let's just say that the drunken fairy building and the four seas supermarket, after retreating from the dynasty for half an hour yesterday, until now, it has changed from the original bustling, shoulder to shoulder to door.

Most of the people who can go to Zuixianlou to eat and drink and buy things in the Four Seas Supermarket are these powerful people and families. In this case, it must have been the order of the heads of each family.

They are so confrontational, what will they do in the future? ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled contemptuously: "It's just a group of short-sighted, blindly profit-seeking vampires, why worry." ”

Xiao Qubing said lightly, but Wang Yujue, Wang Yuanbao, He Jian and others were terrified when they heard it. The abilities of this group sometimes even the emperor had to concede, because these magnates and families represented the basis of the rule of this dynasty.

I think that a large part of the reason for Emperor Yang of Sui back then was that he did not properly handle the contradictions between the magnates and the family lords, and was finally overthrown by this group of people. In the end, he changed to a Guanlong nobleman, and since the time of Taizong, he has been constantly fighting and compromising with these powerful families.

Now it's time for Xiao Qu's illness to be sick, and he doesn't have to worry about it!

After a short silence, Xiao Quzhi continued: "Looking at their appearance, if it weren't for the great victory of the Anxi army in the river, where would there be so much gold and silver transported to Chang'an. There will be no way to mint Datang gold and silver coins for private money.

Now they have finally received a reward, a benefit. If they lose what they don't belong to, they behave so badly, what good can they do?

It's nothing more than a group of young people who have milk and are mothers, and they only have interests in their eyes. In this case, if they want benefits, I will give them benefits!

I have a lot of ways to make money, as long as I throw them a little bait and give them some benefits, they don't all run over and kneel and lick.

But I just want to set rules for them, and it's okay to make a fortune with me, but I just don't allow them to corrupt the market......"

As he was talking, he heard a shout outside: "The third uncle is back!" The third uncle is back! ”

Xiao Quzhi was immediately overjoyed and said; "It's done!" (To be continued.) )
