Chapter 22 Abandoning Literature and Engaging in Business
Zhen An's first words when he saw Haoxing were to ask him to hurry to Zhaojiazhuang, Haoxing picked up the scimitar that Zhen An brought back, asked the servant to prepare the horse, and paid attention to Zhen An's injuries before going straight to the prince's mansion.
Haoxing was busy repairing in the Prince's Mansion some time ago, and the people who came and went were already very familiar with the people in the Prince's Mansion. Now he said that there was an emergency, and the porter did not delay, and directly asked someone to pass on Hanzhao inside.
Han Zhao was accompanying the crown prince and the princess to have breakfast, and when he received the news, he immediately rushed to the study room in the outer courtyard to see Haoxing.
Han Zhao looked at the scimitar in Haoxing's hand and asked, "Yuantai people?"
Haoxing briefly talked about Zhen An's situation, and Han Zhao shouted outside the door: "Ah Qi!"
Ah Qi, who was dressed in a strong suit, responded to the voice: "Here!"
"Immediately take ten people to Zhaojiazhuang on the outskirts of the city, Li Wang and the others are only afraid of more bad luck. Send another person to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen with my post and this knife, and mobilize the sergeants to arrest the Yuantai spies. "Hanzhao assigned the task.
Ah Qi took the order and left.
Sure enough, when Ah Qi led people to Zhaojiazhuang, he saw a crowd gathering from a distance.
Early in the morning, the local governor received a report from the people in Zhuangzi that many people had died on the other side of the woods. So he brought someone to see it.
I saw two people lying on the ground, dressed like officials and like guards of a large family, but they were covered in blood. The other seven or eight men were also covered in blood, but they were dressed as beggars, but the knives they held were crooked.
The lieutenant chief had never seen this situation, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he called a young junior and hurried to report to the official.
Not long after Hou Sheng left, he saw more than a dozen fast horses galloping towards him, and he saw that his clothes were with those two people.
Without waiting for the chief to speak, the villagers had already given way to the road.
Ah Qi impulsively dismounted, galloped over, and shouted, "Brother Li!" He fell to his knees, but his hand touched his brother's already cold body.
A later guard said, "Seventh brother, Brother Li has words here."
Ah Qi followed the guard's instructions, and saw that Li guard's hand wrote a "yuan" character and three horizontal on the ground, presumably because the word "Tai" was not finished, and he was physically exhausted.
The lieutenant saw that Ah Qi was the leader, so he said: "This official, I am the lieutenant governor of Zhaojiazhuang. There was also a dead beggar next to a bamboo hut two miles ahead. What do you think about this? ”
Ah Qi gave the lieutenant a silver ticket: "Please find two good coffins and collect my two brothers." For the rest of the people, there will be someone from the yamen to deal with them later. ”
Ah Qi immediately rode back to the prince's mansion to resume his life.
Haoxing stayed in the Prince's Mansion and did not leave.
Han Zhao left him down to wait for news from Ah Qi.
Haoxing did not refuse, and could not refuse.
Before Ah Qi came back, both of them could guess what the result was.
The point is, what to do next.
Han Zhao said: "Haoxing, you must know that it is difficult for me now. The hands and feet are all tied, and they can't be used. You can still go to Taixue, I will stay in this Quartet every day to read and write, it is better to be a son in Dazhou back then. ”
Haoxing's understanding of this sentence is, you can't go, I'll help you do it. So he said: "The prince has been sent, and the officials will not disgrace their mission."
"The missions of the Li and Ji kingdoms will arrive soon, but we are ignorant of the changes in the imperial courts of these two countries. Or rather, someone knew, but the message didn't reach me. I was like a blind man, a deaf man. ”
Hao raised his body and clasped his fists and said, "Xiaguan is willing to be the eyes and ears of the prince."
"What are you going to do?" Han Zhao asked.
"Disguise yourself and enter Yuantai."
"I'm not going to let you go to Yuantai."
"Why? Yuantai is most likely to attack Ning! ”
"You just had a deal like this with Yuantai, and it is inevitable that you will have a grudge against them in your heart. It is not good for you to stay in Yuantai for a long time. ”
"Long?" Haoxing was puzzled.
"Have you ever wondered why the Yuantai people pretending to be beggars this time were seen out?"
"They don't look like beggars in details."
"So we have to learn a lesson, we can't disguise ourselves. It should be dignified and bright. Think about it, if someone went to another country with a customs clearance document now, what would they most likely do? ”
"Now the people who need to clear the customs are generally merchants. The prince is saying, let me do the business? ”
"Businessmen have a lot of contact, which is naturally conducive to inquiring about news. Once you open a store, you can stay in the local area. You can also purchase local specialties to gain an in-depth understanding of the people's feelings. ”
"What should I do to buy and sell?"
"Then it's up to you, I can only give you 10,000 taels of silver every year as capital."
"Ten thousand taels!" Haoxing exclaimed! My father's salary was only more than forty taels of silver a month.
"It just looks like a lot. You also have to recruit troops, buy goods, dredge all kinds of joints, and spend so much on the journey, these money are only afraid that you will have to suffer on the road. ”
"If it's for the sake of the community, the lower officials are not afraid of hardship."
"Isn't it best to discuss this matter with the teacher? This is also what the father meant. ”
"Thank you for your concern. The lower officials thought that since it was a confidential act, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. When my father found out, he was worried. ”
"The teacher has always wanted you to be able to get famous. You want to go into business, I'm afraid that he won't be able to get over this hurdle in his old man's heart. ”
"If the Yuantai people call, what is the use of my fame? Do you want to be an official for the Yuantai people? My father has always understood righteousness, and sooner or later he will understand me. ”
"The distant brother of your clan who I saw during the Lantern Festival last time, is he still in Shangdu?"
"He's already back to his hometown." Hanzhao really remembers!
"Oh, I think he's pretty clever, and I thought you could have one more helper."
"Lord Xie is worried. I believe that he will have other opportunities to serve the prince. ”
"I hope so. I think you'd better find a business firm to learn how to do business in the near future. ”
"Please show me which country it is better for the lower officials to go to."
"Then Ji Guo."
"If you go to Jiguo, you should sell silk and silk satin."
"Yes. I'll help you say hello to Xu Kun, the owner of Maochang Long Silk Village, and you can go to his shop to learn first. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Han Zhao picked up the pen and began to write letters, and soon it was done with a wave.
Haoxing took the letter and carefully put it in his arms.
Han Zhao took out two identical books and told Haoxing how to use page numbers, lines, and columns to encode words, and use passwords to convey messages.
Although Haoxing was in contact for the first time, the method was simple, and he quickly understood.
The two were discussing the details of going to Jiguo, and Ah Qi had already galloped back.
After listening to Ah Qi's announcement, there was no sound in the study for a while, and the atmosphere was very depressed and heavy.
Han Zhao said: "Ah Qi, go to the account office to pay a sum of pension money and send it to the two families."
There was a murder in the jurisdiction, and Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to slack off, not to mention that it also involved the prince's mansion.
It's just that the thief didn't leave any evidence except a scimitar. The people of Zhaojiazhuang said that they didn't know or saw these beggars. It seems that Zhaojiazhuang is not their stronghold. Visits to the surrounding villages all said that there were no beggars gathered.
Jing Zhaoyin had to come up with a way to "relieve his anger" in the prince's mansion: cut off the thief's head and hang it on the city gate to set an example.
