The heavy snow in winter has hindered people's normal travel, and Chang'an residents have to go out early every morning to participate in snow clearing activities, and there are snowmen built by children on the corners of the road, and there will always be snowball fights in places where the snow is piled up.

When the sun comes out, the snow stops, and the warm sunlight is not enough to melt the snow, but it can warm people's hearts.

There was a smile on the face of every pedestrian, and it was a smile of happiness.

"There is a bit of snow this year, but the year is good, much better than the drought and earthquake in previous years." The big farmer made Dou Ying put down the curtain and sighed.

His eldest son, Dou Kuang, said: "The grain output in Guanzhong has generally increased by one percent, and it will be very busy after the beginning of the year." ”

Dou Ying disagreed: "What are you afraid of if you are busy, as long as it is good for the Han family, it is better to be busy than to be idle." ”

"But you're not in good health......"

"How can a great husband act with fear and hold back? It is better to cherish your body than to resign and go into seclusion to be a free marquis, if; Not; Wrong; qu1e+ is everyone thinks so, what should the Han family do? What about the tens of millions of Han people? ”

"The father's lesson is that the child knows what is wrong."

Dou Ying persuaded bitterly: "I know your thoughts, those meritorious princes have all gone to serve as soldiers and worked hard, and the prodigal sons of Chang'an City are your world, but have you forgotten the lessons of Hou Chen Chan?" At present, the Empress Dowager has moved to Lin Guang Palace, and the Empress Dowager Dou (Liu Xuan) is lingering on the sickbed, our Dou family must put away its minions and be a good person, and you had better not touch that circle, so as not to implicate yourself deeply. ”

"Whoa!"

Dou Kuang's face was full of shame, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "The news that the child just heard." The general of the car rider said that the dogs of our Han land are short-haired dogs that are not cold-resistant, and they have to go to the north of the Huns to find long-haired dogs, saying that they can only use horse-drawn sleds first, and the efficiency is faster than pulling the carriage. ”

"Horse-drawn sleigh?"

"Yes, it is said that it is indeed faster than a four-wheeled carriage to run on the snow, and our Han horses are not good, so we must use Xiongnu horses and Qinghai horses."

"The Hun horse is not easy to get, and the Shan Yu in the north is not a person who seems to be with. The Huns never let go of the mouth of the horse trafficker. ”

"So I had to rob it. I heard that the black cavalry on the border of the Xiongnu was a horse-grabbing team organized by some nobles. ”

Dou Ying's brows furrowed: "Where did you hear these words?" Forget it, no matter where you hear it, it's not allowed to spread it from today onwards. It's taboo, you know? If you don't do it well, you will offend people. ”

"But there are also people in our Dou family who are in the border county......"

"You don't understand?"

"Whoa! The child didn't dare say any more. Dou Kuang said in fear. Since he was a child, he was afraid of his father's wrath. Especially when you have a straight face, you no longer have to be afraid.

Seeing that the eldest son in his twenties is so unhelpful, he is ambitious and talented, and he is so ambitious. With a high eye and a low hand, he has made almost all the mistakes that a mediocre liehou's son can make, but he likes gossip and hearsay, and he, a father, has to worry about his unconscious son all day long, which is really sad.

"You have to remember to be cautious, the situation of our Dou family is not as beautiful as before, and you must be careful not to cause trouble, go to Mr. Dong to learn more Confucian classics, self-cultivation and don't think nonsense, what should be yours will always be yours, if you continue to mess around, if the Queen Mother is still in the world, you can mix for a few more years, once the Queen Mother dies, your good days will come to an end."

"The child can save it."

Cao Shi transferred from Shaofu to the general of the chariot cavalry, which was generally regarded by the outside world as the starting point of the decline of the favor from prosperity to decline, the status of the three princes and the nine kings was prominent and famous, and the Xiongnu and Wei's Korea from the north, and the Zhuyue in the south were widely spread, compared to the nominal chariot and cavalry generals could not be compared at all.

But the Chinese military officials of the dynasty do not think so, since the Han Xing more than sixty years of real power of the generals are only a few founding generals, Marquis Zhou Bo when he destroyed the world of Zhu Lu An was a lieutenant, the Marquis Zhou Yafu led the troops to quell the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu was also a lieutenant, since the death of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, to the Jianyuan period full of full calculation of the number of generals with real power.

There are fewer Che Cavalry generals with real power, Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu is the only one, before the rebellion of Wu and Chu Seven Kingdoms, the official worshiped the Che Cai General and commanded the army of the Xiliu Battalion, and the high power and power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the status was above the lieutenant of the Northern Army and the guard of the Southern Army.

Cao Shi is the second.

13ooo famous soldiers can not be compared with Zhou Yafu, not to mention that there are 8ooo recruits, which greatly dilutes the proportion of the 5ooo elite of Yulin Cavalry, but the supply treatment of these 13ooo people is extraordinary, how have I seen soldiers wearing heavy armor for thousands of years, Shaofu purchased thousands of sets of iron armor from Pingyang Hou Mansion, this is definitely unique.

The Son of Heaven wants to train the elite mind can not hide from the hundreds of officials in the court, although he has never explicitly said that he wants to fight the Huns, but the changes in the war readiness of the court are clearly to go to the Huns, adhering to the ruling style of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty only do not say, muffled to make a few horse farms to raise military horses, smart people know that the emperor is going to fight the Huns, and the unsmart ones are still unclear.

Dou Ying's family also raised dozens of horses, his family has two high-priced bought a male and a female pair of Qinghai horses, and more than a dozen good horses from the Xiongnu, even if the worst Han horse in the house is worth 5o thousand yuan, the Xiongnu good horse in the market was fried to more than 1oo thousand yuan, the quality of the good stallion and mare are expensive, some horse dealers hit the price of 2oo million yuan to buy.

The price of Qinghai Cheng is much more expensive than the Hun horse, the two Qinghai Cheng in Dou Ying's house are worth tens of millions of dollars, this kind of horse can not be bought even if you have money, Taifu Temple has been given to the east and west cities, as long as there are Qinghai Cheng on the market, no matter how many horses will be purchased according to the market price, there is no limit to how many are collected.

It is equivalent to the endorsement of the imperial court, and the value of Qinghai Cheng skyrocketed dozens of times overnight, which can almost be described as worth a thousand gold, and Luoyang paper is probably only so expensive.

The value of a cultivated horse is 5ooo to 1ooo and 5 baht, and the price of a pack horse is basically the same, as long as there are ordinary horses that can be ridden, they will be bought for more than 10,000 yuan, and better for 30,000 yuan. The better is about 50,000 yuan, and the good horses produced in Han are only between 1 million and 2 million yuan, and now they have doubled by 2 to 3 times in a blink of an eye.

This is not only the price of high-end horses doubled, but the price of ordinary farming horses and pack horses has also risen by more than 30 percent, one of the important reasons is that the abundance of money is far from imagining, a large number of five-baht coins poured into the market to raise the inflation rate by a level, the price of grain just after the autumn harvest is more than 1oo yuan, and the current grain price is stable at about 15o yuan, which means that inflation is more than 5o%.

Inflation came, but people didn't get impoverished because of it. This is the second time that prices have risen sharply after a long period of lack of money. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, prices have remained basically unchanged for 6o years, and this big price increase is just to pay off debts for prices that have not risen in the past.

Abundant money and grain were traded, and handicrafts flowed into thousands of households, and everyone became richer. The Dou family is also one of the beneficiaries. The dozens of good horses in Dou Ying's hands are gifts from fellow clansmen Dou Pengzu and Dou Wan. They have made a lot of money in the horse market and have basically withdrawn from the original loan shark circle.

Because the money exchange workshop under the command of Shaofu transformed into a lending business, the imperial court could not suppress usury. simply let the Shaofu intervene in the usury and suppress the usury with low interest.

The interest rate of the money exchange is very low, the interest rate for 3 to 6 months is 5 cents, that is, 5 percent of the interest, and the interest rate for 1 to 3 years is one percent, that is, 1 percent of the interest, the requirement is that there must be collateral of comparable value, or there is an annual income as a guarantee, once the loan is not repaid, the cultivated land or the house will be collected, and the borrowed yeoman farmers will automatically become tenants of the royal grange, and those who have no money will still not lend, because the loan cannot recover the cost, and the Shaofu cannot arrest them as slaves, then they will have bad debts.

Dou Ying was very pleased, the Dou family finally got the hang of transforming into a horse business, and the family's tens of billions of money can be eaten for dozens of lifetimes without worry, he especially warned the children of the Dou family that they must put away their tails and be honest, especially not to provoke the general of the Che Cai.

The weather was sunny for the next few days, the wind was mild, and the temperature rose, and if it weren't for the snow on the ground that had not yet melted, I really thought it was spring.

The four crown princes who lived in the Daxingling Post House got up early in the morning.

A few days agreed to be early today, stepping on the snow to visit the famous monk who lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, it is said that there is a strange person Li Shaojun living on the mountain, he has been to Penglai country this year, and has practiced the immortal road under the Anjisheng Sect, which is for the immortal real person.

The four of them are together, and they want to see it.

So he got up early, and while the entourage of the various feudal kingdoms was drinking last night, he sneaked out of the city in a carriage when Zhengxiang, who was sleeping at this time, before he got up.

According to the usual practice, Daxing ordered the post house not to ask about the behavior of the VIPs, and they could wander around Chang'an City as long as they returned to the post house before curfew every night.

Zhongnan Mountain is between the peaks of Nanshan Mountain, and it will take several hours to travel by car as planned, but they miscalculated the impact of the snow block, and walked dozens of miles from dawn to noon.

The four of them were forced to find a village to settle a meal, and as long as you could afford to pay in Guanzhong, Luli would also provide some food to hungry passers-by, and they knew this rule all the way from their respective feudal states.

It happened that there was a quiet village not far ahead, the four of them were overjoyed and went straight to the village, Wei Youqu jumped out of the carriage and shouted at the old man outside the village: "This old man is polite, the four of us are the princes of the feudal kings, I heard that the Han family is rich in land and beautiful mountains and rivers, and I want to go to the mountains to find a master, but I have no choice but to prepare to forget to bring dry food in a hurry, and I want to ask for a meal in Guilu, and buy some daily necessities and dry food by the way, you can rest assured that we will pay according to the price." ”

The old farmer looked up at them, bowed his head and continued to clear the snow.

"Is this man deaf and dumb?"

Wei Youqu said it patiently, but there was still no response.

The four of them were in a hurry, they ran out after eating in a hurry and eating some food in the morning, and their stomachs were already thundering at this time, and they had to turn around and go back to the city if they couldn't eat here, so wouldn't it be useless for them to work hard in the past few days.

Wei Youqu shouted loudly: "Old man! You look at the identities of the four of us, this person is the crown prince of Dongou Wang, this person is the prince of Minyue, I am Wei Youqu, the crown prince of Wei's Joseon, this person is Zhao Yingqi, the prince of Nanyue, we are all distinguished guests invited by the emperor of the Han family, have you seen our money bags? This bag is 1oo copper and half a tael, as long as you let us eat enough and prepare daily necessities such as dry food and bedding, this bag of money will belong to you. ”

The old farmer was stunned. Stared at them for a long time and nodded, walked to the village without saying a word, and after a long time, he came out again, and made a false gesture of "please come in" to them.

"It seems that he is really dumb, and it is not easy for such an old man to be so old, I will give an extra bag of copper coins later."

The other three people thought so deeply and said that the old farmers should take more care.

The carriage entered the Luli, and it was surprising that there were no pedestrians in the Luli.

In broad daylight, not even a single figure was visible.

"Hey, that's weird! Why no one? ”

"I don't know. Looks like they're all out. ”

Quack Quack ...... Bang!

The four of them looked back in astonishment. The inner door slowly closed after appearing, and the four of them couldn't help but shudder.

Wei Youqu took a deep breath and shouted, "Old man, what do you mean by closing the door?" We're not going to spend the night, and we're going to have to travel after dinner. ”

The old peasant bowed his head as if he hadn't heard. Xu pointed in the direction of the big house in the center of Luli. It is the meeting place of every village in Luli.

The four of them shouted a few times, but to no avail. It was good to set up the carriage and continue to walk into the village.

When I arrived outside the big house, I finally saw a few living people, and it was a beautiful woman with a face like a peach blossom. Dressed in the beautiful clothes that are in vogue in the Jingshi, she is very beautiful and young, she looks fifteen or sixteen years old and is in her youth, the fly in the ointment is that her expression is not pleasant, her frowns are tightly locked, as if she is thinking about a difficult problem.

Wei Youqu watched the beauty swallow his saliva wildly, and the other three people seemed to be different from him, all of them had bright eyes and a look of god and soul.

It's not that they haven't seen beautiful women, there are also beautiful women in their respective countries, and they have seen beautiful women in Goolan Village in Chang'an City, but these women can't be regarded as human characters, the only beautiful woman who can be called amazing, either the noble lady in the palace or the wife of the Liehou family, the golden branches and jade leaves are extremely noble, and the crown prince of their small country can only think about it in his head.

"What a beautiful woman, to meet such a beautiful woman, this trip to Zhongnan Mountain is not a loss!"

"No loss, no loss."

The young and vigorous princes suddenly felt that love came so quickly, and the anger and dissatisfaction accumulated in front of them had long been thrown out of the clouds, and they planned to get acquainted with a beautiful woman wholeheartedly, and maybe they could succeed in winning it.

"Ahh Beautiful girl, I am from the far north, Wei's Joseon King Weimeng is my father, my name is Wei Youqu, may I ask the girl's name? ”

"I'm the prince of Minyue, I'm the same age as you, we must talk, what's your name?"

"You're so beautiful today! Meet me, my name is Dongou Wang, the crown prince of Dongou King, ...... this year"

"I am Zhao Yingqi, the crown prince of the king of Nanyue, I am eighteen years old and not yet married, may I ask the girl's surname, which minister in the court is Ling Zun or the big man in Beijing?"

The woman looked up in amazement, swept over the four young faces and smiled.

The smile was like an ice and snow smile blowing in the spring breeze, and I wanted thousands of trees and pear blossoms to bloom, and the four rookies who saw the emotional blank were all crazy.

Good times are always short-lived.

The woman's eyes changed from astonishment to scrutiny, to mockery: "Four fools, you are really looking for death when you break in by yourself, you don't take the good road, you only take the evil way, I don't know if you will foresee ghosts in the middle of the night?" ”。

"Huh? Are you a ghost? Wei Youqu was taken aback.

The woman covered her mouth and giggled, "I'm the female ghost who takes people's lives!" Are you afraid? ”。

"Harm...... What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid in broad daylight! You must have lied to us. ”

"Even if it is...... Even if you are a ghost, we are not afraid, we are bold! ”

The limbs of the four men were sore and weak by the frightening woman, but they kept a tough posture on their mouths and were not afraid of anything, and the woman who was amused giggled.

Suddenly, a voice came to my ears.

"There are no ghosts here, we are all big living people."

The sudden sound from behind frightened the four young people and almost fell.

Turning around in horror, a tall and white-bearded, kind old man in a white robe looked at them, and Wei Youqu wiped away his sweat: "Why does the old man walk without sound?" It almost scared us to death. ”

The old man in white ignored it, and turned to the woman and said, "Lord Lingweng, you have been staying for a long time, please go this way." ”

Liu Ling snorted and flicked his sleeves in.

The other four people didn't react, and kept their original posture still, Wei Youqu stared at Liu Ling's figure walking into the big house, and the other three stared at the old man in white stunned.

"Since a few distinguished guests are here, it is better to go in and sit down, the old man will give you a warm welcome and ensure that you will not want to return."

"Good, good! Let's go in. ”

Wei Youqu was suddenly pulled as soon as he stepped out, turned his head and saw that the faces of the other three suddenly changed, and he wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Yingqi looked at each other with Su Wang and Su Chou, and without saying a word, he turned around and boarded the carriage directly.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Yingqi sat at the front of the car and arched his hand to the old man in white: "I don't know how serious I offended Mr., a few of us apologize to Mr., and we will visit you another day, please rest assured, we will never say half a word when we leave." ”

Wei Youqu was anxious: "Brother, what do you mean by this?" Why are you leaving? ”

"Brother Wei, if you want to return to us as friends, get in the car quickly, and don't say anything."

Wei Youqu shouted loudly: "Don't be like this, tell me what is going on before leaving!" Don't you like the woman who is called Lord Lingong? ”。

Zhao Yingqi showed an ugly smile on his calm face: "I don't like it." ”

"You fart! Just now you said you liked it, what do you mean by duplicity? ”

The donkey brothers covered their heads and despaired, this idiot was hopelessly looking at women.

Zhao Yingqi sighed and arched his hand: "I'm sorry brother, if you don't go, we have to go, the mountains and rivers always meet, we'll see you in the future!" ”

"Who told you to go?" (To be continued......)
