Chapter 14: The Jumping Clown
H2 > this thing, sometimes Xu Yang can't say it clearly, often if he is not careful, this thing will be turned up in geometric multiples, and it will become a thing that no one knows.
Datang is now less and less like the Tang Dynasty that Xu Yang came from, and the wealthy families and officials in Chang'an City are now unwilling to continue to live in the old-fashioned courtyard house, and only the cement paste two-story building can show their identity.
In this regard, Li Erzi specially promulgated the new "Building Law", which divides the height and decoration of new cement buildings according to the rank of officials, and the system is rigid, which is no different from the original Datang.
Walking on today's Chang'an Street, in addition to the prosperity there is no other word to describe the scenery here, countless shops are built on the street, behind the shops is a two-story small building built of cement, which is also built of cement, and several main roads in Chang'an, now, Li Er's road repair project has been carried out for more than half, and the yellow mud road of the entire Chang'an will finally be replaced by a cement road.
The roads are smooth and the shops are lined up, which greatly enriches the material life of the citizens of Chang'an, and now there are many shops that are open until late at night, and there is no curfew in Chang'an, which promotes the circulation of finance and capital here.
Overseas gold and silver have become the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the people's living standards have begun to improve unprecedentedly, and the benefits of plundering resources are completely displayed at this moment......
Xu Yang flipped through the newspapers, there was no big news recently, all kinds of lace news continued, what Qujiang Pond had a woman who jumped into the river because of love, what Mr. Li Gang announced the expansion of the academy, and what Chen Yuntian, the nineteenth generation head of the Mo family, developed the Vermilion Bird Flying Machine, etc., these are not big news for Xu Yang.
However, when Xu Yang was about to go to the academy in the afternoon to see the progress of the Mo family's disciples' research, Liu Qi passed the word that a businessman named Teng Jianhu asked to see him, and Liu Qi said that he was quite fat.
Teng Jianhu? Chubby businessman? Xu Yang racked his brains and didn't know a man named Teng Jianhu, although he had been in Chang'an for a long time, but he really didn't know the businessman surnamed Teng, so he asked Liu Qi to invite him into the village to have a look.
When he saw that person at a glance, Xu Yangcai reacted, this old man was the businessman he met when Li Erweifu had a private visit, he hadn't seen him for two months, this Teng Jianhu had actually gained weight, and the fat on his face was almost piled into folds, and Xu Yang didn't know what good things this kid had encountered.
When I met him on the bus, although he was not very smart, he was clever and sharp-toothed, and he was very happy to pat Li Er's ass along the way. I heard that this kid was later recruited into the palace and became a big official, as if he was a household counselor, which can be said to be a model of soaring.
"Oh, hey, I'm lucky, I don't know the marquis, but you still know it?" As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, this Teng Jianhu's iconic smile makes people not feel a trace of disgust.
"How could you not recognize that when you went on patrol with the saint, it was not the way you led your majesty." Xu Yang also said politely.
"It can still be remembered by the Marquis of Chuanguo, the excitement of the little brother is beyond words." This Teng Jianhu spoke with some sincerity.
"Well, we've only had one face, I don't know why you came to Honjo?" Xu Yang has been a little afraid of trouble recently, and he has the habit of not approaching people when he accompanies his children at home.
Teng Jianhu saw Xu Yang so straightforward, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said cautiously: "Master County, do you still remember that you have an auction hall?" ”
"Hmm......" Xu Yang nodded, he hadn't been there since that auction a year ago.
"Dissatisfied with the county lord, you said, now the prosperity of my Chang'an City can be said to be shocking barbarians, Hu merchants from the Western Regions very much want to enter the mainstream society of the Tang Dynasty, for this reason, they do not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money, ask the merchants of Chang'an to help them complete a drinking party where they can meet the nobles of Chang'an, you know, we have a nobleman in the Tang Dynasty who is willing to surrender their identity to drink with these barbarians, so I thought of it, I can hold another auction, as long as the nobles of Chang'an are invited to the auction, These Hu businessmen will be very happy, and this will be considered a success. Teng Jianhu said with a glint in his eyes.
Xu Yang didn't speak immediately, his eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he asked, "How many people are there in Hu Shang this time?" How much can I contribute? ”
As soon as he heard the drama, Teng Jianhu was very excited, and hurriedly said: "They have formed several forces, those merchants in Persia who sell dates and Hu cake Sanle pulp have formed a business group by themselves, and the Hu people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu have also formed a business group, Qiuzi, Shule, Gaochang, have formed a huge business group, Baekje, and Wa also have business groups, these guys have a lot of money, oil and water, and each country can produce at least about 100,000 yuan." ”
"Wa Kingdom?" Xu Yang suddenly heard a sensitive word, and said with some unhappiness between his eyebrows: "I, Datang, have even made it clear that they want to cut off any contacts with this Japanese country, why do you businessmen dare to commit crimes against the wind and trade with these Japanese people?!" ”
"Ah, look at my memory, I won't tell you that this Wa country is not a national mission, but a Wa country mixed with the Baekje merchant group, and the small one will go back and let the Baekje caravan kick out the Wa countryman." Teng Jianhu said with some flattery.
"No need." Xu Yang waved his hand, "Baekje is not a good thing, and their merchant group is not used for ......" ......
Fujitani Ichiro was very angry, he originally thought that the Tang Dynasty was a good place to make money, but now, the Tang government has confiscated all his funds and wants to send him back to China by sea ship.
Fujitani Ichiro didn't know why, until the fellow Baekje envoy sued him, he didn't know the cause and effect, it turned out that someone in the Wa State offended a noble man from the Tang Dynasty, this man's status seemed to be quite high, and at his instigation, the Tang Emperor announced the severance of relations with the Wa State, and from then on, it was forbidden for a Wa people to set foot on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and once discovered, they would be expelled.
Fujitani Ichiro felt very wronged, he didn't know when Japan and the Tang Dynasty fell out, he had been making money overseas all these years, reselling spices between Luzon and mainland Japan, and making a lot of money.
With money, Fujitani Ichiro could do many things that he didn't dare to do at first, he married ten wives, and fifteen concubines, bought a large mansion in Yangcheng, and lived an enviable aristocratic life.
But there is always a day when the money is spent, and the money earned by Fujiya Ichiro in those years was quickly spent by him, and when there was no money, the servants began to run away one after another, and when they ran, they would steal valuable objects from the family, and in the end, even their wives and concubines began to flee, and the trees fell and scattered, and one of Nuoda's homes was spent by him.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, Fujitani Ichiro urgently needs to return to the life of a human being, so he used to regain the skills of reselling business back then, and continued to follow the sea ships, planning to make a lot of money by reselling spices and the like, and this time, he also had a helper, a mission from Baekje.
Ichiro Fujitani thought that he could quickly earn enough money to go back, but here, he was not only captured by the Tang people, but also the Baekje mission was also affected by him and expelled back to China.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?! On the dock, a middle-aged man with a mustache roared and said, "Is your Datang such a state of etiquette?!" If you are like this, who else in the world will like you Datang?! ”
A group of Tang soldiers escorted the people of Baekje and Fujitani Ichiro to board the ship, which was sailing back to Baekje and Wa Kingdom.
"You rough Tang people, return my gold, I will let His Majesty the Emperor seek justice for me!" Fujitani Ichiro resisted violently, and shouted in return.
"Smack!" A crisp sound sounded, Fujitani Ichiro's mouth also closed, and at the same time, a bright red handprint appeared on his face.
A bald man in uniform said with disdain: "My master said that the Tang Dynasty is not something you like, but something you fear, as for your Emperor Majesty, let him prepare in the Wa Kingdom, presumably it won't be long before the footsteps of our city management team will set foot on your Honshu Island............
