"An Qingxu, the son of a thief, is the first achievement?"

"Exactly, this guy was able to run, and he hid in the South Mountain, and it took the brothers five days to search the mountain before forcing him out. His archery skills are exquisite, and he broke seven people to catch him, but he was forced to run out of arrows before he was forced to go up. This guy kills himself with a horizontal knife, but he is strong! ”

The soldier who escorted the first achievement said three "yes" in a row, which was about An Qingxu's performance, which was really unexpected by him. In this battle of Chang'an, the performance of An Lushan, Shi Siming and others was really not outstanding, which made the Tang army, as an enemy, feel a little bored, only An Qingxu fought like a man.

Zhou Xiangren spat at An Qingxu's first achievement, he is a eunuch, so he doesn't need to respect his opponent to respect himself.

"This guy is also confused, and at the last moment, he went to seek refuge with Shi Siming, but he was sold by Shi Siming's guy." Seeing that this angel was a little interested in An Qingxu, the soldier said with a smile: "Shi Siming used this guy as bait to use the golden cicada's trick of getting out of the shell, and he ran smoothly, but since he can sell others, others can naturally sell him, no, he was tied up by his subordinates and sent back to Chang'an, which happened to come at the same time as An Qingxu's head!" ”

Zhou Xiangren looked at the person tied to An Qingxu's head in surprise, the person was greased and powdered, and the woman was dressed up, but it was really ugly. Zhou Xiangren thought it was An Qingxu's family at the beginning, and he muttered in his heart that the taste of this Hu slave was really heavy, and the woman he received looked like this, but now he knew that this person was Shi Siming!

"It's ...... Men dressed as women? Zhou Xiangren asked.

"Not really!" The soldier Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "This guy is dressed as a woman and wants to get out of Tongguan, but his subordinates tied him up and offered him!" ”

Shi Siming closed his eyes, trembled all over, and said sharply: "If the husband dies, his ears will die, why do you insult me so much?" ”

"I have to let Ye Gong see you like this, this is a rare thing, if Ye Gong hasn't seen it, who would dare to let you change back into men's clothes?" The soldier said with mockery: "In order to clean up your rebellions, Ye Gongke has spent a lot of energy, it is rare to have something that makes Ye Gong feel good, how can he not offer it?" ”

Shi Siming never thought that he would become a tool used by the Tang soldiers to please Ye Chang, so in the eyes of the Tang soldiers, he was no different from the servants and the best tricks!

Zhou Xiangren saw this excitement, and couldn't help laughing so much that his mouth couldn't close together, as an angel, Ye Chang naturally wouldn't let him wait for a long time, and after a while, Ye Chang invited him in, he saw Ye Chang, and immediately gave a long salute: "Congratulations for Ye Gong, congratulations for Ye Gong!" ”

"Angel Zhou also saw An Qingxu's first achievement and Shi Siming?"

"Yes, yes, yes! These two people are dead and captured, the head of the thief has been in Ye Gong's pocket, Ye Gong now only needs to send one to Fan Yang, plough the court and swing the hole, and the world will be peaceful! ”

Ye Chang laughed: "There is no need to be so troublesome, the good teaching angel learned that Changshan Yan Gaoqing and Liaodong Luo Jiuhe have broken Fan Yang, the thief's den has been flattened, and His Majesty has no worries." ”

"What...... Ah, in this way, it is not enough to congratulate Ye Gonghe, you have to double the congratulations. ”

Zhou Xiangren was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this must be Ye Chang's arrangement. If it weren't for Ye Chang's arrangement, it would be impossible for Luo Jiuhe to act on the Liaodong side!

However, Zhou Xiangren is too optimistic about the situation, Zhang Zhongzhi and other thieves are still there, and the scattered rebels are still causing trouble, and it will take some time to pacify these guys.

At this time, it is the spring day of Chang'an, although after the war, but the flowers are blooming, the green grass is green, and the fragrance in the air makes people feel refreshed. When Zhou Xiangren got the news, he only felt that the whole person seemed to be integrated into this spring.

"The angel is here this time, but what is the will of His Majesty, and how to deal with the rebels and thieves?" Ye Chang asked.

When Zhou Xiangren saw that he was talking about business, he immediately solemnized, and then took out the holy decree. Li Longji fled in a hurry, and the national seal fell into the hands of Li Heng, and later it was seized by An Lushan, and now it is in the hands of Ye Chang. Therefore, this holy decree is only stamped with Li Longji's temporary private seal, but it can also be used as a holy decree.

Seeing Li Longji's handling of An Lushan and Li Heng, Ye Chang pondered for a while, and then said: "I understand what the sage meant, Duke Zhou, I will have a copy here, and you can bring it back for me...... On the saint's side, how have you prepared to return to Chang'an? ”

"It's already been done, and now it may have set off, and the sage said that the people along the way are in the midst of war, so everything should be simple, and there is no need to disturb the people."

"The benevolence of the saint will be known to the people." Ye Chang slapped a sycophant smoothly.

Seeing that he had made such a great achievement, and there was no arrogance, Zhou Xiangren nodded secretly: The pillar stone of the Principality of Ye is really extraordinary.

This time there was nothing too urgent, so Zhou Xiangren did not leave immediately, but rested in Chang'an City for two days, which was also the secret mission he got from Gao Lishi - Gao Lishi asked him to secretly spy on the public opinion of the military and civilians in Chang'an City, and understand the views of the people in the capital on the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, especially Ye Chang. He rested that day, but early the next morning, he was awakened by a huge human voice, and sent a servant to ask, but the people all over the street followed to see Jiang An Lushan lighting candles!

"Ye Gong moves so fast!" Hearing this, Zhou Xiangren said in his heart.

He understood why Li Longji ordered Ye Chang to execute An Lushan before he returned to Chang'an, firstly, Li Longji was really disgusted with An Lushan to the extreme, and he couldn't wait to take revenge. The second is that Li Longji is weak-hearted, and he hopes to solve An Lushan as soon as possible and make this embarrassing matter history.

"Even if An Lushan is executed, let's also go and see the excitement." Zhou Xiangren said.

After he finished washing up and went to the street, he found that Chang'an Street was crowded with people, and it seemed to be more lively than in previous years. Everywhere he looked, there was a lot of rubbing shoulders and crowds.

"There are so many people today, just kill an An Lushan, why are there so many people?"

Since he experienced the favor of the market, he naturally did not carry a guard of honor, only brought two strong companions, and squeezed in the crowd for a while, then felt sweaty profusely, and couldn't help but complain.

"You don't know this, killing the thief is just one of them, everyone wants to wash away the filth! In the past year, it was not a good year, and it was noisy, and now this plague thief is finally going to be executed, that is to say, bad luck should be eliminated! A businessman-like man heard his grumbling and said with a smile.

"Exactly, you don't think there are a lot of people on the street, can you not go to the street, I think you are also here to join in the fun!" Another humane.

Zhou Xiangren smiled awkwardly: "That's true, I'm just worried, so many people are on the street, will the law field be settled by then?" ”

"Do you know, this time the execution of the thief, Ye Gong has made arrangements, and it will be placed in the new stadium in the West City, and there are not many people!" That merchant said.

Zhou Xiangren had heard that the new stadium in the West Market was a football stadium jointly built by six big businessmen in the West Market last year, surrounded by a wall more than two feet high, and in addition to the field for playing football, there were also seats that were said to accommodate more than 100,000 people. Originally, this was a preparation for the Liangjing Cup Ball Match held on the fifth day of the first lunar month this year, but due to the turbulent situation, the ball game was canceled, so the first time the game was used, it was used to kill people.

The rutted track system inside Chang'an City was also damaged by the rebel army, and the personnel movement returned to the point where they had to rely on feet or horsepower before. Zhou Xiangren crowded among the people, chatting and moving forward, and it took more than an hour to arrive in the West Market.

The West Market is the most prosperous place in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, where wealthy businessmen gather and all industries are prosperous. But it is precisely because of this that when An Lushan took control of Chang'an, Xishi was extremely badly damaged. Zhou Xiangren entered the city and saw that only the broken walls were left in the shops, and even the embers were wiped out in many places, so he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't mean that thieves are rampant like this, but the people of this West City have suffered a lot of trouble......

"Lang Jun doesn't know about this, the West Market is pretty good!" The man who looked like a merchant said: "Here in the West Market, because it is close to the Anton Bank, every household has the habit of depositing money in the counter of the Anton Bank, and at least they can get some of the property from the Anton Bank. ”

"Oh, what's the difference?" Zhou Xiangren said: "Anton Bank has not been damaged? ”

"Then Anton Bank has Ye Gong's guidance, when Ye Gong first set up the bank, in order to prevent accidents, he placed the bank vault in a place where no one knew the way! Therefore, although the thieves have been entrenched in Chang'an for many days and dug Anton Bank into the ground, they still have not received anything. They had to burn down the façade of the bank with one fire...... Lo and behold, that's the burned façade of Anton Bank! ”

Zhou Xiangrenshun looked at it, only to see a very completely burned broken wall, what is strange is that before the broken wall, there are four groups of wooden cards. There was paper on the wooden card, and what was written on the paper, because it was still far away, he couldn't see what was written on it.

"What's written on that card?"

"That's what I just said to Lang Jun, and Anton Bank said that the money and things stored in each family's cabinet can be obtained by virtue of the original deposit certificate after ten days. If the deposit certificate is seized by a traitor, there is no need to panic, you can first freeze it in the bank, freeze the book, and then go to Jingzhao Mansion to issue a household registration certificate, and then you can reopen the deposit certificate for the money and property in your name and then collect it. The merchant said: "Ye Gong has just entered the city, this notice has been posted, and those who have deposited money in Andong Bank in the city are now at ease, waiting for the bank to escort the cash." ”

Zhou Xiangren nodded silently, and secretly praised it in his heart: Ren Zhengye.

It is said that businessmen seek profits, but this Anton Bank has never made a fortune, if he used the excuse of thieves to burn the account books and treasury, and embezzled the money, who can catch it?

"The tone of what you said, didn't you also deposit the money in Anton Bank in the first place?" Someone asked.

The merchant said proudly: "I have nothing else to do, but I have a better vision, I followed Ye Gong, made a few small fortunes, and naturally deposited the money in Anton Bank......"

Speaking of this, he realized that he had made a mistake and his money was exposed, and he said with a sad face at the moment: "It's just that I regret that I shouldn't have listened to my mother-in-law at the beginning, took out most of the money, bought land in Chang'an City to build a house, and made a Zhuangzi outside...... Now that the house has been burned, there is nothing left on the village, and all the tenants I have hired have come to my house to eat and drink......"

He chattered, and the person who interjected next to him smiled: "What are you, the worst thing in our Chang'an City is the rich and powerful." ”

When Shang Jia heard him change the topic, he stopped crying poorly, and nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly, I have heard of it too." They cast gold and silver into ingots and buried them at home in jars, but the thieves were accustomed to looting, and many of them went bankrupt and could not recover them. ”

The person who interjected looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "You still don't know the way, they heard that Anton Bank was going to pay the deposit two days ago, and they pestered Ye Gong one by one, saying that they asked Ye Gong to recover the robbed goods for them, but they were rejected by Ye Gong sternly......

When Zhou Xiangren heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer: "Yes, they stupid things!" ”

These noble families who fell into the hands of An Lushan and Li Heng, although they were oppressed by An Lushan, they did not have a good impression on Li Longji's side. Li Longji hated them for failing to draw a clear line with the traitors, and said behind his back that these people had received the emperor's favor for many generations, but they were not as patriotic as Ye Changzhongjun, who got up among the grass and fields.

"They are not stupid, what they mean is to let Ye Gong share the captured after the victory with them to make up for their losses. Ye Gong thought that most of the people who received should be handed over to the treasury for the use of the imperial court, and a small number should be soldiers to reward loyalty and bravery. Another said: "Those people now regret that they should have invested their money in the first place, not hidden!" ”

"This is what Ye Gong said in "The Wealth of Nations", wealth is born, and wealth is lost." That merchant said.

Zhou Xiangren was secretly surprised, that businessman had also read Ye Chang's "The Wealth of Nations"!

He knew very well that during this period of time, Li Longji collected a lot of Ye Chang's works, especially articles on Taoism and economy, and asked the Hanlin people around him to analyze them, and then talk to him. Among them, "The Wealth of Nations" and "On Border Policies" are the key points among the key points. After the An Lushan Rebellion, Li Longji learned some lessons, hoping to find a way to bring the Tang Dynasty back to prosperity and stability, and Ye Chang's theory has vaguely become the core of the arguments of the imperial court officials because it is supported by practice.

"Can Lang Jun pass "The Wealth of Nations"?" He asked.

"That's natural, if we businessmen want to make a fortune, we used to rely on three points of hard work and seven points of luck, but now we have to learn." The merchant said.

"It's here!" Zhou Xiangren was about to ask again, but he heard someone shouting, he looked up, and sure enough, he had arrived at the new stadium in Xishi.

There are a total of 12 gates in this stadium, and after following the flow of people into it, Zhou Xiangren saw that a wooden platform was built in the middle of the stadium, and the surrounding stands were already full of people, even on the court field around the wooden platform, there were many people. If it weren't for the large number of soldiers to maintain it, these people would have crowded to the edge of the wooden platform.

Soon after they arrived, they saw a big fat man with a fat body being put on a wooden platform by four soldiers, and there was no need to ask, this person was An Lushan.
