Chapter 135: Branch
In the fifth year of Qianfu (878 AD), the spring of Chang'an City came a little later, but it was still late.
In the slightly sweet breeze, the people who came out to play realized the breath of spring, which seemed to contain a touching tenderness.
"The weather is new on March 3, and the many beautiful people on the waterside of Chang'an" is a white and upright young man who recites the poem, facing the bank of the Qujiang River from time to time by the young lady to look at it recklessly, and from time to time turn back to the fox friends and dog friends behind him who are eating seas on the table.
The young man is the current Ji prince Li Bao, he is sixteen years old this year, and he has a kind of relaxed and happy freedom in the face of the spring light of Hexun. However, his good interest did not last long before he was ruined by the strange noise behind him.
Li Bao turned around and found that the food on the table had been almost wiped out by a few foodies, so he smiled: "How is it, how is the new dish of this Qianjinlou?" ”
The crowd who had been eating hard all the time muttered: "It's delicious, it's so delicious!" One of the crowd was even more exaggerated, and suddenly burst into tears.
The people who were eating and drinking were very surprised by this guy who suddenly changed his face. Li Bao asked in surprise: "Why is Xinyu so sad?" But this hairy blood is full of dogwood and pepper, and it makes you spicy? ”
That sad person is Duan Xiaolou, one of the "four nobles of the capital" in the past, and everyone gathers here today, first, it is a common practice to meet friends in spring, and secondly, today is the day when Li Bao finally came out of the palace.
There was another strong man next to him, Zhang Qingping, and he said in a rough voice: "Although I can eat the new dishes of Qianjinlou today, but the man has tears and does not flick, Xinyu doesn't need to be that little child here." It's really embarrassing for you. ”
Duan Xiaolou wiped away the tears from his cheeks, and then said: "Everyone doesn't know, I'm going to leave Beijing for Xuanzhou in a few days." The thought of being about to be separated from everyone made me feel a little sad in my heart. In addition, when I thought of Xuanzhou, it was difficult to eat the delicious food of Qianjinlou, so I couldn't help but feel sad. ”
Everyone was shocked by what Duan Xiaolou said, he was about to leave Beijing, everyone got along very happily over the years, and slowly got out of sincere feelings. Although everyone's family background is similar, Datang has been getting worse and worse over the years.
In the years since the new emperor ascended the throne in the Tang Dynasty, the people's rebellions have risen one after another, the court has been anxious to quell the rebellion, and the struggle between the courtiers and the eunuchs led by Tian Lingzi has also intensified.
Duan Xiaolou was about to leave Beijing to join his uncle, and it could be seen that Li Zhang, who was the observer of Xuanxi, had already sensed that the environment in Beijing was wrong and wanted to avoid the risk as soon as possible.
Li Bao said to Duan Xiaolou: "Xinyu don't be sad, the predecessors said: 'Mo Dao has no knowledge of the road ahead, and no one in the world knows you', no matter where we are, we will miss each other." Well, everyone comes to drink this cup together, which can be regarded as practicing for Xinyu. After that, everyone raised their glasses and blessed Duan Xiaolou together.
After drinking the wine in the cup, Yang Yinyue suddenly smiled and said: "We don't know who in the world knows Xiaolou, but we can guarantee that no one in the world doesn't know our "Thunder God descends to earth" Prince Ji." After Yang Yinyue finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Li Bao couldn't hide his embarrassment, since he blew up Ximen Kuangfan in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion a few years ago, the entire Chang'an City has been rumored that the six princes of the royal family are the god of thunder.
In addition, in recent years, Li Bao has lived in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion because of Tian Lingzi, and Li Bao's rumors have spread from Chang'an City to the outside world.
Everyone laughed for a while, and Xu Wenqiang, who had not spoken much, said to Duan Xiaolou: "After July, I will follow a certain adult to Shannan Dongdao to take up his post."
Today, I learned that Xinyu is about to go to another town, and now that he is older, he must be scattered in the near future with our old friends, which is really sad to think about. Come, you must have a few more drinks today, and I don't know when we will see each other again in the future. ”
Xu Wenqiang is very gloomy on weekdays, but he doesn't want to be a restrained character, and he is very affectionate about the separation of his friends, and everyone is also nostalgic when they hear it, so they raise their glasses again.
After drinking the wine in the glass again, Li Bao thought about what Duan Xiaolou had just said, his heart moved, he put down the wine glass, touched his nose, and then asked Duan Xiaolou: "Xiaolou said that he was reluctant to give up the dishes of this Qianjinlou, yes or no?" ”
Duan Xiaolou had already drunk a lot today, and when he heard Li Bao's question, he immediately replied: "This is natural, since I have eaten the dishes of Qianjinlou, I am not willing to eat other dishes." The thought of how difficult it will be in the future makes my heart even more sad. ”
Li Bao looked at the guy and wiped his tears again, and laughed in his heart, but this kind of drunken true temperament is nothing, he is not like this, but what Xiao Lou said made him very inspired.
So Li Bao said to Duan Xiaolou: "I have an idea, let's listen to it, let's sum it up, how about it?" ”
Everyone said, "What an idea, tell me quickly!" ”
Li Bao smiled and said: "Since everyone is reluctant to let Qianjinlou go, I think it is better to let Qianjinlou follow you to other towns to open branches." Then you don't have to miss this smell anymore, and I have something to entrust to you. ”
Duan Xiaolou heard it, this idea is good, Qianjinlou is very famous in Beijing, how many foreign wealthy businessmen and nobles are admired, if this Qianjinlou follows him to Xuanzhou, the dignitaries there will definitely flock to it.
So Duan Xiaolou hurriedly said: "Liulang said quickly, what do you want to do?" Something should do it. ”
"I'm going to take care of your business, this branch of Qianjinlou, I plan to jointly participate in the management with you, so that you have shares in the store, one can subsidize the family, and the other can rely on the relationship between the parents in the family to attract business for the store."
Hearing Li Bao say this, not only Duan Xiaolou, but even Xu Wenqiang was overjoyed. Busy said: "This makes Zhang Dalang a long time ago, and he has long wanted to participate in Liulang's business, but he has never had the opportunity." Now is the right time! ”
Li Bao looked at the two of them who were happy, but he felt sad in his heart, now Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi are still suffering from ringworm scabies in a small climate, and the officials in the court do not care, and still regard political struggle as their main direction of struggle.
But Li Bao, a person in the future, knew that it was almost possible for this brother to overthrow the Tang Dynasty after the final merger. The peasant army swept through the Tang Dynasty and the mountains, eroded half of the entire Tang Dynasty, and directly caused the most tragic 53 years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The reason why Li Bao proposed to open branches in various places was to take care of his friends' livelihoods, and second, he wanted to set up Jin Luanwei's strongholds in various places.
The children of official eunuchs like Duan Xiaolou have a natural advantage when they go to various places, which can help Jin Luanwei's spies to carry out their work as soon as possible, and the other is that they can find sources of goods and raw material bases for Li Bao's future business network.

The following is wrong, the time is almost up. Let's make up the word count first, and it's time later
At night, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy rain, the waves rolled and washed away the riverbank, and the big tree fell and crushed the boat, and the boat could not stand it and sank. Guo Qilang dragged his mother to the shore with a boatman and saved his life. The rest of the servant things were swept away by the waves. After dawn, when I arrived at the temple, my mother was frightened and fell ill and died a few days later. Guo Qilang was at a loss, ran to Lingling, and told the state pastor about the situation. The governor buried his mother and gave him some money. After holding a funeral for his mother, he rented a house in Yongjun to live. Alone, very poor and without relatives and acquaintances, morning and evening worry about food and clothing. Guo Qilang has been going back and forth on the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he is very familiar with boating, so he takes the helm of the ships that come and goes, and solves the problem of food and clothing. The people on the streets of Yongzhou told him to catch Guo Zhijun. From then on, his appearance was very different from before, no different from that of the shipwrights.
Li Dequan Jinghua has Li Guang, I don't know who is also. To the affairs of Tian Lingzi, Lingzi Yan, for the left army. Once he was given the Shuo Fang Festival, the next day, he died without illness. Just has a son called Dequan, more than 20 years old, and Ling Zi is acting as a dramatist. The emperor will be fortunate in Shu, but from the order of Zihu to drive, stop Chengdu. Shi Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan stole the authority of the country, and everyone was afraid of it. Li Dequan is on the left and right, and he admires him all over the world. The traitors seek fame and fortune, bribe more morality, and think that they are joints. In the past few years, tens of millions of bribes have been gathered, and the official has been promoted to the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and the right servant of the school has been shot. After Jingxuan was defeated and arrested by the officials, he escaped in Fuzhou, dressed in knots, and begged for esophagus. There is Li An, who is often a Houzhou athlete and is familiar with his father. Suddenly saw the virtue of power, read its blue wisps, and invited to the private house. An had no children, so he recognized him as a nephew. In less than half a year, he died in peace, and Dequan changed his name to Yan Si, and asked him to succeed Li An and cover Mu Bi's food and clothing ("food" was originally "He", according to the Ming manuscript)
Ear. Found as a shepherd and guard, those who have knowledge, all said: "Look at the horse and Li servant." (Out of "Nanchu News")
There is a man named Li Guang in the capital, I don't know where he is from. He was very good at sycophancy, and served under Tian Lingzi, who doted on him very much and sent him to be the left military envoy. One day, Emperor Song Ming granted Li Guang the post of envoy to the northern part of the country, and the next day, Li Guang died without any illness. Li Guang has a son named Dequan, who is in his twenties. Lingzi asked Dequan to act as an agent for this important position. Catching up with Emperor Xizong to go to Shudi, Dequan followed Lingzi to escort the monarch and arrived in Chengdu. At that time, Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan had stolen the power of the country, and people were afraid of them. Li Dequan was by their side, and they were all talking to him from far and near. In order to seek fame and fortune, rich and powerful villains often bribe moral power. It is used to open up the joints. In the past few years, Li Dequan has accepted tens of millions of bribes and become a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu and the right servant of the school. Later, Jing Xuan was exposed and arrested by the government. Li Dequan escaped and ran to Fuzhou, his clothes in tatters and along the street
Beg. There was a Li An, who used to be a horse sergeant in Fuzhou, and was very familiar with Dequan's father, and suddenly saw Dequan, and took pity on him to this point, so he took him to his home. Ang Lee didn't have a son, so he recognized Dequan as his nephew. In less than half a year, Li An was about to die, so Dequan changed his name to Yan Si and asked to inherit Li An's position, but he was just greedy for that bit of food and clothing. Soon he became a horse watcher, and those who knew him looked at him and said, "Li Servant who watched the horse." ”
