When night fell, the entire Chang'an City suddenly fell into a magnificent world of lights. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially in Qili, the lights here are bright and blazing, and the entire streets of Qili are even like daytime.

Those burning whale candles have become one of the props for the Han nobles here to compare with each other.

The size and brightness of the whale candle are the objects of comparison.

And Anton's Chen Huan also made a lot of money from this.

His whaling career is flourishing day by day.

Zhang Tang rode in a carriage and got off at a mansion in Qili.

This is a luxurious mansion that is even placed in the richest street of the Han Empire, and it is also a top-notch mansion.

This mansion, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, is completely the scale of a house that can only be enjoyed by 10,000 households.

And its courtyard is gilded and copper-clad, and the eyes of those who are dazzling can't be opened.

At the door, there stood a statue with angry eyes.

It was the Guan Kou Erlang who was worshiped and worshiped by the Shu people, a legendary god with three eyes, and also the son of the virtuous minister Li Bing.

"Zhang Gong ......" at the gate, more than a dozen giants who had been waiting for a long time greeted him with a smile on their faces, and the first two were smiling, and bowed to Zhang Tang slightly: "Zhang Gongda's coming, it really makes the humble house shine!" ”

Zhang Tang stepped forward with a smile and bowed to the two of them: "Fengrenjun, Guipingjun...... I have admired the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to have to meet with the two Ming Princes, and Tang Zhixing is also ......"

Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying listened to Zhang Tang's compliments, and they were all smiling on their faces, and they were even more happy in their hearts.

These two people are no better than when they arrived in Chang'an at the beginning of the year.

At that time, what were they?

In this Chang'an City, cats and dogs are not counted!

I have to rely on the recommendation of the eldest princess to meet Jinshang, and this is undoubtedly the most important investment in the lives of the two of them!

Once now among the Han businessmen, it is almost the same investment as Lü Buwei's goods!

Since then, they have broken free from comfort, the sea and the sky, and they are at ease.

Up to now, he has become the two largest businessmen in the Han family.

Their wealth is incalculable, and the mines and workshops in their name alone are already in the hundreds.

Later, their respective daughters entered the palace, which made their status change from lowly businessmen to Han relatives and imperial relatives.

Among the many relatives of today's group, in addition to the Yi family's relatives, Dou's relatives and Bo's relatives, they are the most beautiful.

As the saying goes, wealth raises people.

Now these two people have also undergone earth-shaking changes from back then.

Both of them are already pot-bellied and wealthy nobles.

However, the two of them are also well aware of their status.

To put it nicely, they are the richest man in the Han family, the emperor of Southwest Yi, and the master of the Jiaozhi monkeys.

To put it mildly, it's just today's black gloves.

Many things that the Son of Heaven wants to do but can't do, they are doing.

Do you really think that just by relying on them, you can stir up the southwestern countries? Let the Yelang people be willing to be dogs, let the people of the Yu country be slaves obediently, and let the South Vietnamese help catch the monkeys?

There is no such simple thing.

The fact is that all their major decisions and actions are clear to the Weiyang Palace.

Especially two years ago, when today's son put his cronies and eunuch Wang Dao in Linqiong.

On the surface, it is claimed to the outside world: the royal road is lawless, the king is bullied, and the distribution is in Qiongdao.

But in fact, they are sent to monitor and monitor their eyes.

Therefore, whether it is Zhuo Wangsun or Cheng Zhengying, their own family knows their own affairs.

Zhuo Wangsun is better, after all, his daughter gave birth to a prince, although he is destined to not be able to succeed to the throne, but he will not lose the position of princes and kings in the future.

Cheng Zhengying is more depressed, his daughter has given birth to two consecutive princesses over the years.

This made him anxious and unwilling.

Although the Son of Heaven seems to like the princess very much, but, after all, only the son is the guarantee!

Everyone greeted each other for a while and looked at each other.

It was only at this time that Zhang Tang knew that the compulsion of the banquet that the Son of Heaven had asked him to attend was so high.

Not only Linqiong's Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying, the two giants.

When today's well-known big businessmen, almost all of them are on the side.

For example, Shi Dan, who now controls the carriage transportation industry in Guanzhong.

For example, Bing Ji, the head of the Bing family, the number one businessman who was moved from Ludi to Guanzhong.

He also controlled the commerce of Chu and was known as the first Jia of Wu and Chu.

There is even his wife's maiden family, the head of the Haoqiang Tian clan in Guanzhong.

There are more than a dozen people in total, and there is no one with less than 30 million!

The big men and big businessmen of the empire gathered here, and Zhang Tang knew that these people, these guys who couldn't afford to make a profit, must have smelled blood.

"What did Your Majesty call me to do with them to consult?" With such doubts, Zhang Tang followed the footsteps of Zhuo Wangsun and others and entered the inner house.

"Zhang Gong, please ......take a seat," Cheng Zhengying, as the host, respectfully brought Zhang Tang to the chairman and respectfully invited him to sit down.

However, Zhang Tang's observation has always been amazing.

As soon as he sat down, he noticed that there was also an empty seat opposite him.

This means that there are still people who have not come.

And the person who is coming, in terms of identity and status, at least does not belong to himself.

And such characters, even in this Chang'an City, are only a handful.

Zhang Tang Zidu, in today's world, except for the three princes and nine kings, there are probably only a handful of people whose status can be on par with himself.

Obviously, it is impossible for the three princes and nine kings to come here.

Because they are the face of the imperial court, they represent the will of the country and the dignity of the society.

In any case, it is impossible to participate in a businessman's meeting in an open and honest manner.

Only high-ranking officials like him, who have a high status but have not yet entered the Jiuqing sequence, can participate.

Even so, he only dared to come here after receiving orders from the Son of Heaven.

After all, today, it is still a cheap businessman.

Merchants are still considered one of the five beetles.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tang became curious, who is it?

And his question was quickly answered.

About half an hour later, a man dressed in a fancy costume and a ribbon, but somewhat eccentric, walked to the opposite side of Zhang Tang under the guidance of Zhuo Wangsun.

Zhang Tang squinted his eyes, looked at the other party, and found that he was not Chinese at all.

This person has a round face and thick eyebrows, a short stature, even a few holes in his nose, and his hair is also sparse and sparse, barely tied up.

"Huns?" Zhang Tang was secretly frightened.

The identity of the other party is also about to be revealed.

Who else can there be except for Xia Yi, who else is the one who is canonized today.

Sure enough, Cheng Zhengying raised his wine glass and bowed to Zhang Tang: "I was about to introduce Zhang Gong, this honored guest is the Hun Guiyi Shan Yu of today's Ziqin Book, and Xia Gong is here!" ”

Xia Yi also got up and raised his wine glass, and asked in half-baked Chinese: "Guiyi Shan Yu, please ask Mr. Zhang how well!" ”

Zhang Tang hurriedly got up and bowed back and said, "Shan Yu is fine, Zhang worships ......"

But Zhang Tang's inner doubts were even greater.

Almost the whole world's big businessmen, plus the Xiongnu Guiyi Shan Yu, plus him, the county guard of Nanyang County, the Son of Heaven brought these three seemingly unbounded groups together, what did he want to do?

Zhang Tang is unknown now.

But he knew that it must be a big deal!

Even, it is likely to be a major event closely related to his blast furnace base!

"Zhang Gong, Shan Yu ......" as the host, Cheng Zhengying got up with a smile and said: "Today's good day, this auspicious time, Meng Zhang Gong and Shan Yu do not give up, you Ming Gong carry love, gather in the cold house, contemptible people are deeply honored, not only to prepare turbid wine, to prepare singing and dancing, to feast on the princes!" ”

As he spoke, the music sounded, and dozens of graceful and delicate singers waved their long sleeves and danced gracefully, presenting a dance full of glamour and lust for everyone.

This is also the daily life of the Han nobles and big merchants today.

The singers, almost all of whom are from Zhao Di, are the most beautiful and generous, and understand the hearts of men the most.

However, Zhang Tang had no interest in this.

In fact, almost all Legalist ministers are not particularly interested in women.

It's like a mistake, although he is as noble as the third duke, in addition to his wife, there are only two concubines that his father forced him to marry.

is also like Zhao Yu, although he is Jiuqing, but he only has a wife.

Zhang Tang is no exception, he has only one wife so far, and he has no plans to marry another concubine.

For Legalists, it is undoubtedly shameful to waste time on a woman's belly.

In this time, they have already built a channel or done a big thing.

But what made Zhang Tang strange was that not only him, but everyone at the meeting, including the Guiyi Shan Yu, turned a blind eye to these graceful and beautiful girls who were completely giving and demanding.

Everyone had serious faces and solemn expressions, as if they were thinking about something related to their life and death.

This made Zhang Tang even more curious.

In this world, there are not many things that can make so many people give up their coveting of beauty!

Aside from power, wealth, and war, Zhang Tang couldn't even think of any other reason.

But......

"What is it?" Zhang Tang muttered in his heart, and put his eyes on Cheng Zhengying and Zhuo Wangsun.

These two men undoubtedly know what they are going to discuss today.

But these two guys, at the moment, are smiling and chanting, while stroking their palms and enjoying the song and dance, while holding the wine bottle, constantly toasting, as if it is really just a simple banquet, and the guests are happy to play, which is their pursuit.

"Old fox!" Zhang Tang snorted in his heart, and simply stopped thinking about this question.

He knew very well that these two guys were going to have to talk about that sooner or later.

Instead of worrying and thinking, it is better to think about the future political situation in Nanyang and the position he will take up as the assassin of Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tang smiled and held the wine bottle and drank with everyone. (To be continued.) )
