Zhao Pugui is the prime minister, high up, at this time, he directly came forward to order the people, because no one recognized him, but he went to find that Fangzheng, and that Fangzheng didn't recognize him, how dare he respond to orders indiscriminately. Fortunately, the flames were soaring here, and a military inspector from the Kaifu Fengzuo Army Patrol Court led people to pass through here, and hurriedly rushed over when he saw such a situation, but he recognized Zhao Xianggong, and this time he was able to relieve Zhao Pu.

What is Zhao Pu's status in the Great Song Dynasty now? As long as the emperor's order goes out of the palace gate, no matter how big or small it is, it is invalid without the seal of the second government, and Zhao Pu is not, he is not a holy decree, but the prime minister's edict, as long as he writes it, it can be issued at any time, no one will not obey the order, it is really faster and more effective than the holy decree, in the hearts of the people of Kaifeng City, Zhao Xianggong and the Nanya Zhao who is directly in charge of Kaifeng, the influence is greater than that of the high-ranking officials, and the Fang is hearing that this person in front of him is really Zhao Xianggong of the dynasty, so panicked and kowtowed on the spot, he got up and called on the people to dig up the houses and put out the fire.

With Zhao Xianggong taking responsibility, no one hesitated anymore, hooks, saws, axes, ropes, and wood, all the guys who could use them were used, and after a while, Dang Jin led a large group of people and horses in the forbidden army camp to come, and the speed of picking up the house was really fast. The bamboo-wood structure of the house is good for this, it is easy to burn, and it is easy to tear it down, so the people and soldiers worked together to quickly dig out a section of isolation around the fire, and the fire was finally controlled.

As for the place where the fire started, he had already given up splashing water to extinguish the fire, but only rescued everyone from the room where the fire had just started, and tried to help grab some soft belongings, and the rest was burned by it. Seeing that the fire was under control, Yang Hao withdrew from the firefighting scene and sat on a boulder under a willow tree with sweat and ashes.

These days, he has been living in obscurity, living in peace, and he knows in his heart that the official family has become suspicious of him because of the "reversal" incident, and this suspicion may not be dispelled by his clever tricks. He has no one in the court, and even if Luo Gongming has the heart to help him, he can only beat the side drum on some occasions at the right time, but Zhao Guangyi of Nanya has no such taboo at all.

His people have been squeezed out by himself, how can he not be angry? Yang Hao believes in Zhao Kuangyin's mind, but he doesn't believe that Zhao Guangyi also has his eldest brother's mind. I remember that after this Song Taizong became the emperor, he was jealous and hateful when he saw the people cheering for his prince, and almost wanted to abolish the prince. His son eats all the vinegar, no matter how broad-minded he is, he is limited, and now that he has offended him, he can often see the emperor, as long as he says something unfavorable to himself, he may be killed suddenly.

Yang Hao couldn't grasp the current thoughts of the official family, so he had to try his best to make an appearance of settling in Kaifeng with peace of mind, just to resolve the murderous spirit in the hearts of the official family. Because he himself really wants to live in Kaifeng for a long time and be a carefree justice of the peace, it is not too much of a false move. Now that the house has been bought, the servants and maidservants have also been hired, and they are also buying a few kaki dancers, looking like they will live in Kaifeng forever.

Since he arrived in Kaifeng, he has not traveled around the city well, now the spring is warm, the sunshine is just right, the things in the house are almost arranged, and the court has not done anything to him, it seems that the official family has forgotten about him, Yang Hao is like a mouse hiding in a hole and hiding a cat, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to come out to see the Kaifeng weather.

As a result, there was a fire, and at first he also followed the water to put out the fire, but he didn't expect the fire to burn so quickly, so violently, and spread so quickly. In his subconscious, the impression of the fire was still that of a fire under a reinforced concrete building, and by the time he figured out the cause, the fire had spread in all directions, and no matter how you put it out, it would only take a quarter of an hour to devour a house, and then he remembered to cut off the source of the fire.

Now that the fire was under control, he retreated to the tree to rest. Zhao Kuangyin stood silently on the other side of the willow tree, looking at the fire with his eyebrows locked. The fire was raging, the bamboo and wood were lit with a "crackling" sound, and from time to time there was a bang, it was a collapsed house, and as soon as the house fell, countless sparks rose up at night, jumping up seven or eight feet high, like a tree fireworks, and then quickly disappeared into the air, turning into flying ashes.

Mu Yu panted and ran in front of Yang Hao, just now he was also ordered by Yang Hao to help put out the fire, Yang Hao only had a few smoke marks on his face, but his eyes and teeth were black, just like a Kunlun slave. He said excitedly: "My lord, the fire is under control. ”

Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "Alas! Although this fire was saved in time, at least three or four hundred families would have burned to the ground, and the fire spread so rapidly that many families were about to go bankrupt because of this fire, and those who had no relatives or friends to take refuge in and who had no skills were afraid that they would have to sell their children and daughters to find a way to live......

Mu Yu said: "Whoever let them not listen to the good advice of adults and refuse to demolish their own houses, the result is to harm others and themselves, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted." Fortunately, they finally listened to the adults, otherwise, I think this fire will burn a few alleys, and there will be no tiles left north of Liangmen. ”

Yang Hao shook his head and said, "I didn't listen to my words, but I listened to the words of Zhao Xianggong in the current dynasty." He went to Zhao Pu, who was talking to the generals of the garrison, the Nanya inspectors, and the local officials who came one after another, and praised: "This Zhao Xianggong happened to pass by here, and he also thought of a way to knock down the house to intercept the fire. ”

"Is that official Zhao Xianggong?" Mu Yu also looked at Zhao Pu and said, "Then it's no wonder, I just came over there, and I heard him say that the injured should be treated as much as possible." For those whose property was burned and whose houses were demolished, the court would subsidize the money to rebuild their houses for them, and subsidize some cloth and grain. When I heard that this person was not small, I knew that he was a big official, but I didn't know that he was the famous Zhao Xianggong. ”

Yang Haoxi said: "The imperial court wants to save the people? Great, hehe, of course it's him, if it weren't for him, which minister of the court would dare to take matters into his own hands and immediately promulgate such measures to appease the people before he asked for an order? Zhao Xianggong is really a masterpiece of a generation, the imperial court is about to march south, this Tokyo city is in chaos, this measure can make people's hearts stabilize. Well...... the court subsidized the silver to build a house for them? ”

"yes, I just heard it with my own ears."

Yang Hao thought about it sideways, and suddenly said: "Xiao Yu, our family has bought land and bought a house these days, and hired a buyer and maidservant, and the money brought from Luzhou is almost spent......

Mu Yu grinned, showed a mouthful of small white teeth and said: "It's not in the way, Yue'er has money there, when we came to Tokyo City, Miss Tang handed over all her private money to Yue'er for safekeeping, saying that it was kept for your adult." ”

Yang Hao shook his head and said, "No, I haven't married her yet, how can I use her money." ”

Mu Yu said: "Hey, what's there, the master is going to marry Miss Tang sooner or later." ”

"That's different," Yang Hao said: "Eat people with a soft mouth, take people with short hands, use her private money now, can I, a big man, still be able to raise my head and speak loudly in front of her in the future?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, so he heard Yang Hao say again: "Listen to me, go back quickly, take a few people, take the rest of the money, and go to Wapoji, ten miles away, but all building materials such as bamboo, wood, bricks, terracotta, reeds, rafters, etc., can be bought as much as you can." ”

Mu Yu was stunned and said, "My lord, do you want to expand the house?" ”

Yang Hao said funny: "What kind of house to expand, you transport all those materials here, you have to build three or four hundred houses at once, and the building materials of the entire Wapoji are not enough for a while, and the price will inevitably rise as soon as the materials are in short supply. ”

Zhao Kuangyin almost fainted when he heard this, this contrast is too great, just now he was still a generation of virtuous people who worried about the country and the people, how could he become a big profiteer in the blink of an eye?

Mu Yu said solemnly: "My lord, to earn the money of these refugees, my subordinates think ...... I think it's better to use Miss Tang's money, besides, didn't you say that this bamboo and wood structure is the most prone to fire, even if it is to be sold, why don't we just buy bricks and stones, let them do it once and for all? ”

"Idiot!" Yang Hao knocked on his head and said with a wry smile: "If you want to, you can do it, and there is nothing difficult in this world." ”

He looked up at the ash field that was still covered with smoke, and said: "If you don't make this money, someone will earn it, and if you don't raise the price, someone will raise the price, so why don't you make it?" What we earn is not black-hearted money, as for the use of masonry ......, what do you think of the traditional hairstyle of the Qiang people? The top of the head is light, how cool, and when it gets hot in a few days, you persuade us Han people to shave their hair, do you see whether they are willing or not? ”

Mu Yu thought of that weird hairstyle, and couldn't help but smile: "Naturally, I won't do it, and I won't do it if I change it." ”

"That's it, you know, the most difficult thing to change is people's habits and ideas, some things are not what you think is beneficial to implement, the people here are accustomed to bamboo and wood, and no one pays attention to you if you try your best. To make them realize the benefits of using bricks and stones, even if the imperial court comes forward and vigorously publicizes it, it will take three or five or seven years at the earliest, and it will not be possible now.

Moreover, because the amount of masonry used here has always been very small, the inventory is limited, where to buy it for a while, is it now to go to other places to order and fire? By the time it arrived, it was already a few months later. Without further ado, go quickly, you go back to your house immediately, take the money and go to Wapoji, if there is a businessman with a flexible heart who also thinks of this, we will be too late. ”

"What about you, my lord?"

"I'll walk back, you have a good hand, hurry back."

"Okay, that's down." Mu Yu answered, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly, turned around and walked away, walked more than ten steps away, stopped and said to a guard: "You go, tell Zhao Pu, you don't need to ask for an order, I am approved." In addition, during the period of disaster relief and construction, those who transport and sell bamboo, wood, bricks and stone building materials into the city are exempt from all taxes. ”

The guard left in response, only to hear a bang, and another big house collapsed, causing the people to exclaim, Zhao Kuangyin's eyebrows tightened slightly, and he secretly thought to himself: "When I go back today, I have to convene the ministers to discuss it, my Kaifeng is becoming more and more prosperous, densely populated, houses are lined up, and fires occur frequently, although this fire is inevitable, but how to discuss a way to come out, so as to minimize the fire loss." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Hao sent Mu Yu to go alone, and gradually followed the Bianhe River to the vicinity of Pig Killing Alley. Along the way, I saw hundreds of boats competing on the Bianhe River, and the sails were like clouds. Lake boats, saury boats, fish boats, foothead boats, beach boats, boat boats, and flying canopy boats are all kinds and have their own functions. Like a blood transfusion, the two Zhejiang cloth silks, Guangdong pearls, Shuzhong tea, Luoxia huangji, Anyi's jujubes, Jiangling's oranges, Chen Xia's lacquer, Qilu's hemp, ginger's guigao grain, silk silk cloth wisps, stuffed salt and soy sauce, rice and wheat grains, were imported into Tokyo one by one...... These majestic ships made Yang Hao feel refreshed. There are also many shops along the Bianhe River, selling a dazzling array of goods, such as the fur and rhinoceros of the Tufan Uighurs, the grain of the Jianghuai River, the aquatic products of the coastal areas, the cattle and sheep of the Liao country, the fans of Japan, the ink of Goryeo, the spices and pearls of the Great Food, as well as wine, fruits, tea, silk, paper, and books from all over the country. There are also some small shops selling snacks, such as cooked sheep's head, grilled lamb's face, belly lungs, kidney crabs, clams, jujube sand dumplings, fragrant candy, and fragrant candy.

The people did not cause a commotion because of the fire north of Liangmen, and there was still a bustling crowd everywhere. Yang Hao happened to take a look at the door of a bronze mirror shop, and found that he had a few black ashes on his cheeks, and then he understood the reason why there were always people pointing at him along the way, and he hurriedly walked towards the edge of the Bianhe River.

The antique buildings in this place are scattered and scattered, the carved railings are quaint and pleasant, and the small curtain curtains are dark and quiet, like a villa area of a wealthy family, which seems to be much quieter. Those pavilions and courtyards are built near the water, the door is open on the side of the street, and the backyard doors and windows are mostly on the waterfront side.

Yang Hao arrived at the river, squatted down and washed his face, and just stood up, with a "bang" sound, a short wooden stick hit him on the head. Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said angrily: "Which one is the ...... who doesn't open his eyes?" Ah, it's a girl? ”

I saw that half of her body leaned out of the upstairs, but it was a young woman, her light face was not powdered, elegant and charming, she supported the window with one hand, and her waist-length long hair hung down like a black and shiny satin, and there were some crystal droplets hanging at the end, thinking that she had just washed her hair.

When the girl saw a young man standing downstairs, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Ouch, I'm really sorry, the slave family lost the window pole by mistake, don't be surprised."

This girl's face is happy and disgusting, and her smile is very good-looking, and the angry eyes of King Kong will turn into great compassion when she sees it, and Yang Hao's little anger has disappeared, so he smiled and said: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, it's me who is careless, and I shouldn't stand downstairs with the girl."

The girl smiled and said, "Please throw that pole up, okay?" ”

"Huh? Good, good. Yang Hao suddenly felt that this scene was a little familiar, and looked left and right, unfortunately, there was no one named Wang Po who opened a tea shop on the Bianhe River, otherwise this was clearly Ximen Qing's first encounter with Pan Jinlian.

He raised the pole, and the girl upstairs held the window with one hand, leaned out with the other, caught the pole very dexterously, and smiled at him coquettishly: "Thank you, childe."

"No thanks, no thanks!" Seeing that the girl lowered the window, the words that Yang Hao had memorized but could no longer remember involuntarily jumped into his mind, and said casually: "The figure has long been enchanting." It is difficult to describe. A skin like jade, even more comes, accounting for a thousand Jiao. Yan song and dance, the warbler is ashamed of the clever tongue, and the willow is jealous and slender ......"

I can't remember it anymore, and if I think about it, I still can't remember it. Alas! That's it, Yang Hao shook his head regretfully, and was about to leave, when the window opened again with a "squeak", the girl poked her head out, and watched Yang Hao turn around with a pair of apricot eyes, and suddenly asked: "Is this word made by the son?" ”

"Ah......", Yang Hao said in his heart: "Whose word is this?" I also forgot, I can't say that it was done by a beggar named Hong Qi in the countryside of Bazhou......"

The girl only said that he did it, and she was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The slave family injured the son by mistake, and he should wait for the tea to make amends, how about inviting the son to come to the courtyard, and the slave family immediately went to the door to greet him." ”

"Yes, Ximenqing wants to pretend to be a decent gentleman, is Xiao Pan going to take the initiative to hook up?" Yang Hao joked with himself in his heart, shook his head and said, "Some little things, the little lady doesn't have to be polite." ”

"Who is polite to you", the girl said coquettishly: "Childe, please come to the front door, the slave family still has something to entrust to Childe." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Upstairs and downstairs like this, how to speak, son, please come to the house first, can the slave family still eat you?"

"This ...... All right. Yang Hao didn't know what was going on with her, so he was curious for a while, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he agreed.

When the girl saw him walking around to the house, she couldn't help but rejoice and said, "The words made by this boy are really wonderful, maybe they can solve the siege of my young lady, hehe, if you want to doze off, someone will send a pillow, my young lady's luck is really good......" said and put down the window.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ a elegant residence in the house, where the protagonist Liu Duoer is making tea and entertaining guests.

The room is elegantly furnished, a few calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, the hall is small on both sides, and the host and guest kneel and sit on both sides. There are a few dishes of seasonal fruits on the table, a small red clay stove at the door, the charcoal fire is booming, and the water on the stove is boiling.

There were no chairs in the room, only low tatami mats under the hips.

At this time, the stool had just been introduced to the Central Plains, and there were not many people in the Central Plains who were willing to accept this new style of furniture, and many families, especially the wealthy families, were disdainful of this non-Chinese traditional thing. The beauty is like jade, and the wind in the hall sends a burst of jasmine fragrance from outside the bamboo curtain, and the wind chimes jingle under the corridor, and the artistic conception is really different.

The visitor was about sixty years old, with a clear face, three strands of long hair, and a full head of gray hair combed meticulously, and seemed to be in good spirits. He wore a robe embroidered with dark green moire at the hem, an emerald yellow silk tied around his waist, his hair tied in a bun, and a jasper hairpin inserted horizontally.

If Yang Hao saw this old man, he would definitely know that it was Lu Renjia and Lu Daming, who had been stunned by him in Guangyuan.

The woman opposite is Liu Duoer, the owner of this "Ruxue Fang", one of the four leaders of the Kaifeng Teaching Workshop, known for singing and dancing, and she is only ten years old. Wearing a 'sky and water' clothes, the shirt is a large-sleeved placket leno shirt, a small waist with a long skirt that drags the floor, and his hair is coiled into a 'startling bun', and a golden step on the top is still flashing.

Liu Duoer is young and young, wearing a half-chested large-sleeved shirt, a tempting furrow appears on the white and tender Saixue's crisp chest, sitting opposite, not only the emerald green bust inside is clearly visible, but also the skin of the two jade arms is also faintly visible.

The slow skirt of Luo half covers the chest, and the cicada wings are white jade. Although Lu Renjia was dying of old age, when he saw such a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but have his eyes shining.

This woman really deserves to be one of the four leaders of Kaifeng, looking at her appearance, her eyes are bright and bright, and she is soft and charming. His smile is like a spring breeze, and his eyes are full of light, and he feels that the infinite style is blowing on his face, which is really beautiful.

"Mr. Joan, please use tea."

Liu Duoer served tea with both hands and respectfully handed it to Lu Renjia, Lu Renjia hurriedly raised his hand to take it, held it with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite." ”

The word Aiqing was not exclusive to the emperor at this time, and people with status and status also used such an affectionate name for the women who were familiar with the Qinglou, just like in ancient times, everyone could use the word I to call themselves. It was not inappropriate for Lu Renjia to call Liu Duoer like this, but he didn't come to the door today to ask Liu Duoer to come, but was invited by Liu Duoer to help her write lyrics and compose music.

When this girl has a beautiful face and a slight shyness, her appearance is even more moving, charming and charming, and it is really indescribable.

Lu Renjia's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said: "Aiqing is worthy of being the head of Kaifeng, and it is really moving." ”

Liu Duoer's eyes drooped slightly, and she smiled lightly: "Mr. Ding'an praised it falsely, the concubine is ugly and dusty, and her appearance is lacking, how can Mr. be so praised." The concubine likes to study Hanmo since she was a child, loves poetry, and invites Mr. Ding'an to come to the door today, which is to hope that Mr. will give more guidance to the concubine in the future, and often give algae sentences Yaozhang, and the concubine is grateful. ”

Lu Renjia knew that this girl was now fighting with Wu Wa, the head of another line in Kaifeng, and now she was down, so she found his head and wanted to borrow his words to win back a game, so she brushed her long hair and laughed: "The old man already likes to dance and ink, and Ai Qinglan is gracious, which is promising." If you can play poetry with Aiqing from time to time, it is also a beautiful thing. It's just ......"

Liu Duoer understood, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding'an, don't worry, if you get Mr. good words, the concubine will have her own honorarium." How about Mr. De's words, and the concubine will be paid five taels? ”

Five taels of silver is a word, this price is not low, but Lu Renjia is a famous person in the Central Plains, and for him, this price is not high. Lu Renjia said with a smile: "Aiqing, there is no shortage of silver money in the old man's house, and this little silver money was originally not needed." But...... Kaifeng's four major leaders, more to the celebrity to ask for words, has always been according to the talent and fame to pay for the reward, if the old man's asking price is low, but not very good on the face. ”

Liu Duoer's price originally left him room for counteroffering, and when he heard this, he said: "So, I don't know Mr. Ding'an's polishing pen, what is the price?" ”

Lu Renjia stretched out an index finger: "Ten taels!" ”

Liu Duoer hesitated slightly, and said, "So, that also makes it." ”

Lu Renjia smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "What did the old man say...... It's gold. ”

"What?" Liu Duoer sat up straight in surprise.

Lu Renjia's old eyes slipped slightly on her pink and smooth breasts, and said with a smile: "But ...... This is not negotiable, it depends on Aiqing's opinion......"
