Wanyan Muhan announced that he would go south to fight the grass valley with Wushu and Wushu, and Wushu replied to him, saying that you have already been to Huainan for a round, and the south is scheduled to be reserved for the sons of Aguta, so don't mix it with the national minister's line.

Wanyan Muhan took advance as retreat, pretending to go south again, and the messenger went back and forth between Liyang and Luoyang, and finally said negatively: "You go south, the prime minister wants to go to Beijing, and the emperor has a clear theory." ”

"Let him go, let him go, and see what benefits he can get from Wu begging." In this way, Wanyan Sticky Han got the name of going to Huining Mansion in Shangjing, and he asked his four sons to pull the main force back to Taiyuan and Datong to rest, and he took half of Hezha Meng'an and went straight to Huining.

Wanyan Liduo defeated Sticky Han in the "Letter War", and was very happy: "Even if Sticky Han has the Han barbarian helper of Gaoqing, he was also refuted by me, so it can be seen that Liu Yanzong is not a big deal." ”

Liu Yanzong was the first Han minister of the Jin Kingdom, and he trusted him very much, but he was already dead in the sixth year of Tianhui (the second year of Jianyan). Wanyan Liduo once had the idea of poaching Gao Qingyi from Muhan's men.

"Third brother, I have long seen that Hanchen is all a bit of a showman, Sticky Han still wants to learn from the Han barbarian, and Liaoguo has learned from the Southern Barbarian and has become a girl."

"The students don't understand this set of things, the town government and the Lord of the generals grew up together, can you explain a thing or two to the students." Tanggu, Zhang Yancheng claimed to be a student, which was just a humble title for civil officials, not to regard Qiu Muling Zhonglian opposite as a gentleman.

"Zhang Yun, you are embarrassed for me, if it is a matter of marching and arranging, the last general can still guess one or two, this construction of Tanggu New City, it will also build a city wall, and the last general can still sell a lot of strength."

"But the Lord said in his letter that Tanggu should not build the city wall."

Zhang Yanju received a letter from Huyangeng, asking him to pay attention to accepting the population of Bianliang in Tanggu and building Tanggu into an industrial and commercial city.

Hu Yangeng did not understand municipal management, second, he did not understand industrial and commercial development, and third, he did not understand the context of urban development in the Song Dynasty. He planned Tanggu and the later "eastern part of Yanshan Road" according to another time and space of "Tianjin Port + Beijing Industrial Function".

Roughly, an industrial zone with military traction, smelting engineering and textile industry will be established in Hangu, a seaport will be built in the east of Tanggu near the sea, Tanggu will be used as a commercial and government affairs center, and the Dagang area will be mainly salted and coking, and sea salt and coal will be used as raw materials to start a chemical industry in the future.

In short, it is along the seaside, from north to south, there is the smelting area, the port area, the chemical area, and then a little west is the government and commercial center area.

"The new arrivals will be led to the designated area with their strengths."

Huang Zhong dragged his wife and arrived in Cangzhou, he drove the cart, and when he arrived outside Cangzhou, he was stopped by the armor guards of the capital.

"I listened to the announcement of Kaifeng Mansion and came to Cangzhou to beg for a living."

"You know, you know, you're a blacksmith? You follow this big road all the way north, and you will come to a place called Hangu in four or five days, where you will have your own livelihood. ”

As he spoke, the armor guards gave Huang Zhong a piece of paper: "This is the road guide, you go ten miles to the north, there is an inn, you can stay there." ”

"Little brother, thank you." Huang Zhong took out a lot of money: "Little brother took it to buy wine." ”

"Do you know that on Hebei East Road, there is no ticket allocation, and copper coins cannot be used."

"What is a ticket matching?"

The armor guard pointed to the road guide he had just given to Huang Zhong: "This is called a matching ticket, you see that it says 'when Wuwen', that is, you have to spend ten copper plates, so you only need to use five real copper plates, plus a matching ticket of 'being Wuwen'." ”

After the little soldier finished speaking, he took out another matching ticket of "Dangwuwen", "Just let me exchange it with you." ”

This ticket is actually a temporary voucher, although Hebei East Road is still collecting grain in summer and autumn, but various commercial taxes are already collecting tickets. Now the rule is that all the buying and selling, for those under 1,000 mosquitoes, are one-to-one for copper coins and tickets. For example, ten wen is five copper plates, and a ticket for 'being five wen'.

Because it is a daily piecemeal transaction, only half of it is with a matching ticket, so this kind of matching ticket is accepted by the people without shock.

And in everyone's subconscious, copper coins are more "valuable" than matching tickets, therefore, in the case that the number of transaction money is singular, such as nine coins, everyone uses four copper coins, one matching ticket, so the bad money drives out the good money, and the liquidity of the matching ticket has slowly equaled the copper coin.

Moreover, the face value of this kind of ticket allocation is small, if the private counterfeit does not make much money, and he will be killed, and the risk and return are not proportional, so after catching a few counterfeiting cases, no one has this mind.

Huang Zhong drove the cart, took his family, traveled ten miles, and sure enough, there was an inn. There was still a gap of about ten feet, and the guy came out.

"Take care of the cart and feed the livestock."

"This member can ask for wine and food." Seeing the blacksmith guy who was carrying the burden on the side, the shopkeeper asked.

"There is no need for wine and food, and two dry food will be prepared for us, one for tonight, and the other for tomorrow."

"Howler. There are a few rooms outside the staff. ”

"I want one, and the three of us will live there." Huang Zhong pointed to his wife and daughter, "I want two more shops, give them both." He pointed to his buddies and apprentices.

The shopkeeper is very clever and arranged Huang Zhong properly.

When I set off the next day, I checked out, it was fifteen wen, and the shopkeeper said: "Fifteen wen, you." ”

Huang Zhong took out two matching tickets, and added five dollars: "Pay the bill." ”

"You can only get half of the ticket. In addition, you have to give two and a half mosquitoes. ”

"This is clearly written 'when Wuwen', why is it not working for you?"

"If you don't want to," the shopkeeper returned a matching ticket, "You can add five more words." ”

"Sure enough, no one wants to ask for paper. No wonder the patrolman was willing to give me one for nothing. Huang Zhong was entangled for a moment, "Are these two pieces of paper good as Jiuwen?" ”

"Outside, a penny is nothing to you, if I charge you half a penny less, I will be scolded to death by the owner."

"A penny is hard to beat a hero, little brother, I fled from Bianliang, you can help me a little more."

The shopkeeper twisted for a long time: "In this way, I will prepare another dry food for you, and tonight's food will also be prepared for you, originally sold for six copper plates, only five for you, so that the total is twenty Wen." Ten copper plates, ten Wen votes, we don't suffer. ”

Huang Zhong thought that he would have to eat at night anyway, so he agreed. After Huang Zhong left, the shopkeeper reported to the owner: "The owner, you see that I have done another business." ”

The owner said: "It's okay, these outsiders don't know, we pay taxes, we use the ticket first, and then use the copper money to make up for it." This is a real buckle of iron, if it is really outside, Hugh said that when Bawen, he will directly throw it away as waste paper. ”

Huang Zhong took his wife and children and apprentices, and finally arrived at the boundary of Tanggu.

"Tanggu, it's here, you can rest."

"You're a blacksmith?" Tanggu's shopkeeper said, "Then you have to go north, a day's journey, until you reach a place called Hangu." Have you come at the right time to give you a house? ”

"Divide the house?" Huang Zhong grabbed the shopkeeper, "Do you want money for the house?" ”

"I don't know, you'll know if you go outside, you can't suffer a loss."

Another night later, when Huang Zhong's family rushed to Hangu, his daughter said: "Daddy, don't go, my daughter sees that this Tanggu is also prosperous, why don't you find a workshop here and buy it?" Settle in. ”

The shopkeeper heard it on the side and said with a smile: "Sister, this Tanggu, the place by the sea is by boat, the place by the canal is grain, and the inner city is for selling flowers, cloth and wine. ”

Huang Zhong said: "Selling flowers and cloth, the Qinglou is also here, the shopkeeper, we can't stay here." ”

Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Madame is right. The whole family went straight to Hangu.

Huang Zhong's wife sat in the cart and looked around, between which along both sides of the avenue, a circle-shaped settlement was built, and in the past few days when he entered Cangzhou, Huang Zhong already knew that this was Hebei's Baojia, a settlement was two hundred and fifty households, and a hundred Baojia soldiers could be pulled out at any time, and all men and healthy women could go into battle if necessary.

"I don't know which armor I'll be assigned to." Huang Zhong thought so.

"After walking for so long, I saw neither the gates nor the walls." The junior apprentice sighed on the side, "How can you get this if you want a gold thief?" ”

"You don't understand this," the big apprentice changed his burden and said on the side, "You must know that this Tanggu is behind Mozhou and Bazhou, and if the gold thief wants to come, he must first defeat Mozhou and Bazhou. ”

Huang Zhong finally arrived in Hangu, but he didn't see the city wall, so he was stopped by the armor guards who came out of nowhere, and led him to a pergola on the side of the road, and a sign was hung outside the pergola: "Sign in." ”

Huang Zhong and his entourage of five people reported their birthdays, and each of them received a palm-sized piece of paper with three big characters on the paper: "ID card." ”

Huang Zhongjian also wrote many small words on the paper, and he didn't know what it meant. At this time, an armor guard came: "You are a blacksmith, come with me." The armor guards walked all the way, and asked Huang Zhong all the way: "How many years have you been fighting iron, what are you mainly building?" ”

Huang Zhong answered, and then said, "I asked in the shed just now, and the little old man answered." ”

The armor guard pointed to the ID card: "It's all written on it, it's just that I can't read, so I asked again, you have been repairing armor in Kaifeng Mansion, that is you can apply for a second-level technician, you can be a public servant." ”

"What do you mean by a public servant?"

"I don't know, it is said that you can be tax-free, you can see officials without worshipping, if you are not a technician, only Xiucai and those who have been soldiers for two years can be a public soldier."

"Since it's a treatment that only Xiucai has," Huang Zhong didn't know what Xiucai's treatment was, "Then don't care about him, find a way to get one first." ”
