readx; Outside the Chunming Gate, Li Qingan has been waiting for a long time, he is not in a hurry, calmly waiting for the city gate to open, they have been waiting for almost an hour, there is still no movement in the city, at this time, Nan Jiyun whispered behind Li Qing'an: "General, we are here with our troops, it seems that they are very jealous!" However, it can also be seen from this that the city is empty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Qing'an heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the city, and said with a smile: "They are here!" ”

The city gate creaked open, and a group of cavalry surrounded dozens of ministers out of the city gate, and the first person was the crown prince Li Yu.

Li Qing'an raised his hand, and the three thousand cavalry jumped off their horses together, their movements were uniform, they half-knelt and saluted, and said in unison: "His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is a thousand years old!" ”

Three thousand people shouted in unison, the momentum was huge and magnificent, the soldiers in the city and under the city were all shocked, Zhang Yun and Chen Xilie and others all changed their faces, Zhang Yun snorted heavily in dissatisfaction, and was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, Li Qingan was demonstrating to himself?

Li Qing'an took two quick steps, knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Yu, "Minister Li Qing'an, see His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun!" ”

Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, smiled and comforted him: "The general doesn't have to be polite, you can come to Chang'an in time, so that my hanging heart can finally be put down." ”

Li Qingan also smiled: "The minister went to Beijing to report to the saint about the river and immigration, and heard that Chang'an was empty on the way, and the minister was very worried that Chang'an would be taken advantage of by the young people, so he hurried here, and he didn't have time to report in advance, and the minister was very ashamed." ”

"Don't talk about that, let's go to Beijing."

Li Yu glanced at the unusually sharp and powerful cavalry in front of him, and said, "Does General Li plan to let the soldiers be stationed outside the city, or enter the military camp in the city?" ”

"The ministers listen to His Highness's arrangement, if His Highness is willing to let this army defend the East Palace, then they can be stationed in the city, and everything is up to His Highness."

Li Yu heard that there were words in Li Qing'an's words, the two looked at each other, and the meaning of the other party was clear in his chest, Li Yu understood, Li Qing'an was here for himself, so he smiled happily: "Since the general let me be the master, I am welcome, the military camps in Chang'an City are empty enough to be stationed, then the army will enter the city!" Can be stationed in the Imperial City. ”

"Obey orders!"

Li Qingan turned around and nodded to Nan Jiyun, who waved his hand and ordered: "Enter the city!" ”

The cavalry of the brigade began to slowly move towards the barracks, and Li Qingan stepped forward to greet the ministers.

"Colleagues, it's been a long time."

Everyone returned the salute one by one, and Wang Heng smiled and said, "The general is coming back this time, how long are you going to stay?" ”

"Maybe it won't be too long, I'm worried that the Hui people will retaliate against Beiting, so I'll go back in half a month at most."

Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and they all turned around and entered the city, at this time, Pei Min walked behind Li Qing'an, patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Qing'an, how about going to my house tonight?" ”

Li Qingan hurriedly saluted: "I'm going to Dugu Mansion in the evening, so my uncle might as well go with me." ”

"It's good! I'll also go to see the sister by the way, and I'll see you in Dugu Mansion later! ”

Everyone entered the city, it was almost time for the next dynasty, everyone rushed back to the court, Li Yu kept sending Li Qing'an to the Suzaku Gate, and said with a smile: "Okay, I want to go back to the East Palace first, the general has worked hard all the way, rest first, and we will talk in detail tomorrow." ”

"Your Highness, please go slowly!"

Li Qing'an said goodbye to Li Yu and led the army into the imperial city, the military department had been arranged, they were few in number, so they were stationed in the camp of the left leading guard, where the conditions were the best, and it was closer to the Suzaku Gate, which was their most ideal station.

Juhaixing cabinet shop is opened by the Anxi army, mainly for the convenience of Anxi and Chang'an between the Hu merchants to store money and goods, Hu merchants will store the money in Anxi, and then come to Chang'an with tokens to withdraw money, although Li Longji hates Li Qing'an, but he does not dare to move the Juhai Xing cabinet, because most of the Anxi generals have a part in the cabinet, copying Juhaixing, which means that he will offend most of the Anxi army generals.

A few months ago, Juhaixing cabinet opened two cabinets in Chang'an, and opened a sub-cabinet in Luoyang, Chengdu, Yangzhou and Taiyuan, its business has done greatly, and has gradually become the largest cabinet in Chang'an, especially the silver dollars in Anxi are continuously transported, and the Juhaixing cabinet is responsible for promoting and disseminating, which makes it a leader in the entire cabinet industry.

The chief shopkeeper of the cabinet was originally served by Li Huichun's second son, but now there is another person, Chang Jin's younger brother Chang Fang.

Hearing that Li Qing'an was coming, Chang Fang hurriedly went out to greet him, he bowed and saluted: "The general has worked hard all the way. ”

Chang Fang and his brother Chang Jin look quite similar, and he is also a bold and rugged man, tall, dark-skinned, and has the blood of the Hu people of the Western Regions.

Li Qingan turned over and dismounted, he saw the traffic in front of the cabinet, and the merchants coming in and out, so he arched his hand and smiled slightly: "Chang shopkeeper, business is very good!" ”

"Thanks to the general, business is booming during this time, so please come in."

Li Qingan entered the cabinet from the side door, turned around and said, "Go and invite Chang Jin!" ”

"Don't worry, the general has already sent someone to invite, and he will arrive later."

Chang Fang invited Li Qing'an into the house, and a maid served him tea, Li Qing'an took a sip of tea and asked, "I want to know about the situation of the silver dollar, how is the response in Chang'an?" ”

Chang Fang hurriedly took a wooden box from the cabinet next to him, opened it, and there were more than 20 silver coins on the red silk cloth inside, two of which were the largest and roundest, the Anxi silver dollar.

"General, please see, this is more than a dozen kinds of silver coins circulating in the Chang'an market, there are official coins minted by Shaofu Temple, there are silver coins minted by the emperor's relatives and relatives, there are Youzhou money, Shu money, and Longyou money, but most of these silver coins contain less than half of silver, mostly mixed with white lead and copper, these silver coins are called black-hearted money, their market price is one hundred Wen, but in fact it is worth twenty or thirty Wen, the official money is slightly better, it could have been worth seventy Wen, but there are too many inferior silver coins on the market that imitate official money, and it is impossible to distinguish which is true and which is false. And since the beginning of this year, the amount of bad official money has exceeded the real official money, which has made the price of official money plummet, and now it is only worth 30 Wen, which is a means of exploiting the people of the Tang Dynasty in disguise. ”

"General, please look at this one."

Chang Fang took out a silver coin and said, "This is An Lushan's Youzhou coin, the lowest market price, only worth 20 Wen." ”

He pushed a little harder, 'Smack! With a bang, the silver money was broken in half by him and handed it to Li Qing'an, "The general will know if you look at it." ”

Li Qingan took it and looked at it briefly, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, this silver coin only had a thin layer of silver skin, and it was full of black lead and copper, and this An Lushan was a little too ruthless.

At this time, he saw that the other silver coin had grown green mold, and he couldn't help but pick it up curiously, only to feel that it was extremely heavy, not like a silver coin, so he smiled and asked, "Whose silver coin is this?" ”

"This, oh! This is the silver coin minted by Yang Huahua. Chang Fang touched the back of his head and smiled: "I forgot about it, this is the most worthless silver coin, and it is an iron core, which is only worth ten yuan." ”

"It's only worth ten cents?"

Li Qingan couldn't help laughing, that woman was too greedy.

Li Qingan put down the money and asked again, "What about my Anxi silver dollar?" ”

"Our Anxi silver dollar is a baby!"

At the mention of the Anzai silver dollar, the contemptuous look in Chang Fang's eyes disappeared and turned into a proud pride, he carefully picked up the silver dollar, gently pinched it with his index finger and thumb, put it to his lips and blew it violently, and a characteristic metallic crisp sound sounded, buzzing endlessly.

Tsunekata's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, as if the sound was the most beautiful music in the world.

"General, our silver dollar is the most popular, we have listed three batches before and after, a total of 100,000 silver coins, but as soon as it was listed, it was sold out, the original price was a silver dollar worth the same money, but now it has risen to a consistent 200 Wen, and it is rare to see it on the market, and it has been collected by everyone."

Li Qingan also picked up a silver dollar, put it to his lips and blew it, and then put it to his ear, only to hear a buzzing metal crisp sound, echoing endlessly, like the sound of steel wire.

He smiled again and asked, "Are there any imitators?" ”

"Of course there is, and there are quite a few, but none of us can imitate the Anxi silver dollar, if you want to imitate it, you have to use the same amount of silver, where can those counterfeiters do it? The people are not stupid, they look at the workmanship and weigh it, but the most important thing is to listen to the sound, so the fake silver dollar is easy to identify, and there are few fools. ”

Li Qingan nodded, and said: "There will be a second batch of 500,000 silver dollars to be shipped soon, my purpose is not to let everyone collect the silver dollars, my purpose is to make the Anxi silver dollars gradually become the most important coins in the Tang Dynasty, replace the silver coins, and become the main circulating coins together with the copper coins, I hope Juhaixing can do this for me, so that the silver dollars can circulate as soon as possible." ”

"Yes! I will do my best. ”

At this time, footsteps came from outside, and Chang Jin's voice sounded, "General, I'm here." ”

"Please come in!"

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Chang Jin walked in quickly, and he knelt down for Li Qingan to pay homage: "Chang Jin sees the lord." ”

He is using the etiquette of the Hidden Dragon Society to pay homage to Li Qing'an, Chang Fang next to him was a little stunned, although he is also a member of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the secret of the Hidden Dragon Society, even he doesn't know, although the Han and Tang Societies are strictly hierarchical, but they never bow down, and his eldest brother actually knelt down to Li Qing'an, which made Chang Fang stunned for a while.

Li Qingan hurriedly helped Chang Jin up, and said with a slight smile: "I said a long time ago, we don't have to bow down, why did you commit it again?" ”

Chang Jin scratched his head and smiled: "When my subordinates saw the lord, they were excited, and they forgot about it for a while. ”

"Then you must remember next time, sit down!"

Chang Jin sat down and said with a smile: "The initiative suddenly appeared in Chang'an, it was really a sensation, the streets and alleys were all over the place, and everyone said that the lord was here to compete for the throne, and everyone also said that the Xuanwumen incident would reappear." ”

"These are the rumors of good deeds, if I come to fight for the throne, I will not only bring three thousand people."

At this time, Chang Fang felt that he was a little redundant, so he got up and said, "You talk, I'll go to the front to see the business." ”

He walked out of the door quickly, and closed the door for them, there were only Li Qingan and Chang Jin in the room, Li Qingan said: "I came here mainly to find you, I want to know about the situation of the intelligence network, is the imperial court's encirclement and suppression of the Han and Tang Dynasty still continuing?" ”

Chang Jin is now the head of Li Qing'an's espionage, since Li Huichun's death, Chang Jin has taken over the Han Tang Society, he obeyed Li Qing'an's orders, and transformed the Han Tang Society into Li Qing'an's secret intelligence agency.

The humble smile on Chang Jin's face also disappeared, and he muttered: "After the New Year, Li Longji's energy has shifted to Longyou and Shuofang, and the search for the Han and Tang Dynasty has also stopped, and most of the arrested members from all over the country have paid money and come out, at present, the Han and Tang Dynasty will have 3,300 people in various places in Datang, most of them are under the cover of doing business, but there are also many people who have entered the official government, and I have established intelligence rudder in Chang'an, Chengdu, Taiyuan, Youzhou, Luoyang, Xiangyang, Yangzhou, Shanzhou, and Guangzhou as the center, and they are all single-line contactsIn the past, it was mainly to collect the people's feelings from all over the country, but now the scope is wider, the garrison situation, grain reserves, city structure, local officials, etc., are all within the scope of our intelligence, I am ready to set up an intelligence workshop in Fengtian County, responsible for summarizing the intelligence of various places, and it is estimated that it will be completed next month. ”

"Why did you choose Fengtian County?" Li Qingan asked a little strangely.

Chang Jin said with a smile: "This is because Fengtian County Ling Yu Zhijie is also a member of our Han and Tang Associations, including the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and the master bookkeeper have been bought by us, in this way, Fengtian County is the safest place, if it is placed in Chang'an, a large number of carrier pigeons in and out will inevitably cause suspicion." ”

"Hmmm! That's a good point. Li Qing'an nodded approvingly and smiled: "Not only Chang'an, but other cities should also do the same, put the intelligence rudder in the neighboring small counties, and try not to attract attention." ”

"I understand, and I will do it."

After a pause, Li Qingan remembered something again, and asked, "How is Li Jue?" ”

Chang Jin snorted heavily and said: "This person is to blame, I heard that he was locked up in the dungeon of Chang'an County, but he is crazy now, and no one believes what he said anymore." ”

Li Qingan was silent for a moment and said, "This may be his best destination, just let him stay inside!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan stood up and said, "Okay, I'll just say that, you can report anything to me at any time." ”

Li Qingan explained a few more words to Chang Jin, and then left Juhaixing Cabinet Workshop and went to Wubenfang.

Go to Wubenfang is naturally to go to Dugu Mansion, at this time the sky is already dusk, the street in the square is very lively, the vendor who sells vegetables, the merchant who sells sundries, sells hot buns, shouts one after another, through a street entrance, a hundred steps away in front of Dugu Mansion.

Li Qing'an couldn't help but hold the reins, his head hurt a little, the previous scene seemed to have reappeared, far away, I saw a large group of young women standing by the wall of Dugu Mansion, all dressed up in gorgeous clothes, and they were gathering together to shout something, suddenly, a large group of women stretched out their heads, looking this way, isn't that the pearl?

"Look! My brother-in-law came. ”

Mingzhu shouted excitedly, and the large group of women all turned their heads, "Ah! What a beautiful woman! A soldier next to him shouted.

I saw that they were all dressed up painstakingly, wearing a colorful and colorful long skirt under the chest, which looked pretty and slender, wearing a short shirt decorated with complex patterns, and a light gauze as thin as cicada wings.

At this time, Li Qingan rode in front of them, and he suddenly recognized it, isn't this the group of little ladies who were dressed in strange makeup and strange costumes back then? Back then, he gave them an arrow each, and they all grew up.

"Huh! I still remember you. Li Qingan smiled: "You are all getting more and more beautiful." ”

"Brother-in-law, do you remember me?"

Mingzhu jumped out, winked at him playfully, pursed his lips and smiled: "You won't say, ah! Whose little lady is this, why is it a little familiar? ”

"You little girl!" Li Qingan turned over and dismounted with a smile and handed the reins to his soldiers.
