Bianliang City.

Longjin Bridge Yang Mansion.

Yang Houzhong leaned on the chair a little tiredly, still holding the letter paper in his hand.

This is already the third letter from the concubine.

"Is there anything unusual in the city today?" Yang Houzhong asked after a long time.

"Uncle Hui, the situation in the city is fine today, but ......" The personal attendant next to him paused.

Say. ”

"It is said that last night, dozens of women, dependents and the elderly and weak of the Zhang family boarded the boat and left the city overnight, and they also took several boatloads of family belongings. The attendant said softly.

"Oh?" Yang Houzhong's color changed slightly, and even the Zhang family began to withdraw?" "...... the city defense army?"

"Uncle, the guards are also from the villagers, at such times, who will deliberately make things difficult for whom? Who doesn't have a time to ask for help?" the attendant smiled bitterly, "Today, when the ugly time is ugly, and when Yin, there are also a group of family members from the He family and the Guo family who have boarded the boat from outside the East Water Gate and headed south. ”

Yang Houzhong shook his head.

Although the He family and the Guo family are not the top families in Bianliang City, they are also worthy of the name, and now they have begun to evacuate.

The He family and the Guo family have always been friends, the two sons of the Guo family have all served Jiang Feng, one of them died in battle, Jiang Feng treated the Guo family very well, so it is probably a long time to have contact, this time I am afraid that I will go directly to Xuzhou or Shouzhou.

"Uncle, not only that, in the past two months, the ships going east and south in Bianliang City have been in demand, and even the ships from Yunzhou and Caozhou have come up to take business, and they are full of real south, almost every day, hundreds of ships of people and goods have boarded the ship, and the income of the masters on the dock has increased several times in the past two months. ”

The attendant's words made Yang Houzhong even more speechless.

In fact, he also knows all these situations, His Royal Highness King Liang is also very clear, and everyone in the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council is also like a mirror, but so what? Can you still not allow people and goods to leave the city?

If you really want to issue this ban, I am afraid that Bianliang City will immediately boil, and there may be chaos.

Besides, it's easy for a merchant to transfer this, you can't say that you don't want the merchant to do business, right?

Also, if the business is big, who doesn't have anything to do with the officials in Bianliang City?

You have a way, I naturally have a way, don't talk about the second brother.

Each has its own way, each has its own magical powers, maybe they will go to the ground, and everyone will have to work together and be neighbors together.

There are millions of people in Bianliang City, and hundreds of boats of people and goods go out every day, and there is nothing to see in a short time, but if it continues like this, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be a different time.

Now it is the big surnames of the wang clan and the wealthy businessmen who are looking for a way back, maybe they will soon be ordinary people with some family resources, Shatuo and the miscellaneous people behind them once they invade Bianliang City, what will they bring, it makes people shudder to think about it, as long as there is a trace of possibility, I am afraid they will not stay in Bianliang City, think about it, the tragedy after the Hu people broke through the Han city when the Wuhu Chaos was in China, and no one with a little insight will stay in Bianliang.

Although the Shatuo people have been sinicized, and the situation of the Han people in Hedong does not seem to be as miserable as imagined, the ordinary people of this era themselves do not have many opportunities to go out, and there are fewer opportunities to go to the Hu people's places, and more is hearsay.

The rumors of Wuhu Chaohua are deeply ingrained in the hearts of many people, who would rather believe in their own people.

"The little ones also heard that there were more people on the dock in Chenliu, and many people began to sell their fields, and they were afraid of being known, so they all chose to get on the boat from Chenliu and go south. "The attendant is from Chen Liuren, so he knows about these situations.

"Qilang, you've always been in touch?" Yang Houzhong asked suddenly.

The attendant was dumbfounded, not daring to make a sound.

Yang Houzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't blame you, in this case, everyone has to think about themselves, so you go and notify the second master and the fifth master to come and discuss it." ”

The attendant is also an old man who has followed Yang Houzhong for many years, relying on himself to work hard for the Yang family for many years, and he is not afraid of some things that can be said or not: "Uncle, now it seems that Xuzhou is the most suitable, if you want to go, you have to leave early, the little ones have observed, from half a month ago, there are more and more people boarding the boat almost every day, it turns out that there are few people on the boat when Maoshi, and now there are also people on the dock when Maoshi." ”

"Oh?" Yang Houzhong was a little surprised, Bianliang City is not forbidden at night, but such a large-scale night boat, especially when the fleet goes out of the city, the inspection is also quite strict, and not just anyone can get it.

"The guards have been bought, and many unsightly things and people have chosen to get on the boat at the time of Yin and Mao, and go out of the city before dawn, go directly to Xuzhou, or take the Songcheng side to Tongqiao. I heard that the bridge was rebuilt as Suzhou, which has always been prosperous, convenient transportation, not far from Xuzhou, and you can also take the canal to enter Huaishui in the south, so many businessmen choose to go to Suzhou. ”

"Didn't you say that Shouzhou was the most popular?" Yang Houzhong was a little surprised.

The seventh letter said that he could choose to arrange his family in Xuzhou or Shouzhou, but he had not heard of Suzhou.

Shouzhou is the most prosperous, rich in products, developed in commerce and trade, it is not only the station of Huaiyou Town, but also the headquarters of the naval army of the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, which was originally the most suitable place to settle, but it is located in Huainan, the climate is humid and hot, and the family may not like it.

Xuzhou is of course the best choice, the strong city is majestic, Lao Qi also said that Xuzhou City fell into their hands, no one in the world can break through Pengcheng, the tone is so big, people are speechless, but the confidence it exudes is exciting.

Lao Qi also said in the letter that although Xuzhou has not been warned, but in the past few years, it was tossed enough by Shi Yu, and the prosperity is far less than that of Shouzhou, and the price is also expensive, plus there are many displaced people from the north of the city, and the public security is not far from Shouzhou.

Of course, over time, these conditions will improve, after all, this is where the county king's mansion and the governor's mansion are stationed.

"Shouzhou is of course good, but there Huaiyou businessmen have long become the climate, I am afraid that there is no family to go to planing food, Xuzhou is still a little messy, and there is no relationship with the people in the past and are afraid of losses, this Suzhou heard that it is newly rebuilt, and the bridge is also a number of commercial ports on the canal, so there are many opportunities, everyone is willing to go. ”

Although the Yang family is a big family in Bianliang City, after so many decades, it has already become a big family of hundreds of people, and it is naturally impossible to support it with the little income from being an official in the court and the army.

Even if there is land rent in the countryside, it is difficult to maintain the livelihood of such a large family, so it is necessary to do business.

The three cloth villages, two pharmacies, a pawn shop, and two blacksmith shops in Bianliang City are all the businesses of the Yang family, and now they all have to consider where to move.

"I see. Yang Houzhong nodded.

The family may be able to settle in Xuzhou, since the seventh is in the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion in the Privy Council high, presumably there is no problem in protecting the family, as for the business, now Xuzhou has not yet settled, Shouzhou has long been the territory of Huaiyou businessmen, I am afraid that it may not be able to intervene, that Suzhou has recently been rebuilt, but it is a good place to go.

Walking in the carriage, Zhang Ji's eyes kept roaming the streets.

He couldn't see much change in Bianliang City now, but he could feel that the people on the street seemed to be moving a little faster than before, and there was a feeling of urgency and panic.

The shops on both sides of the street are still full of customers, as the empire's premier metropolis, no matter what big things are, ordinary people still have to live, and businessmen have to do business.

There is still no curfew in Bianliang City, but the number of guards inside and outside the city gate has multiplied several times, which in Zhang Ji's opinion is somewhat incredible.

At this level, I don't know what these nobles in Daliang think, they don't have a curfew, do they really think that the hundreds of thousands of people in this Bianliang City don't have the scouts of the Shatuo people?

Maybe they don't think even a curfew makes much sense?

Look at the generals who only know how to seek personal gain, I am afraid that they have long been infiltrated like a sieve by various forces.

Zhang Ji also came to Bianliang this time, and the Xuzhou army was about to march into Songzhou, and how to avoid a conflict with the Tianxing Left Army in Songzhou was also a difficult problem.

According to the news obtained by Wuwentang and the Chao family, Caizhou is also actively contacting the Bianliang Pang family behind Pang Yuan, which makes Xuzhou extremely vigilant, if Pang Yuan falls to the Yuan family, then the Xuzhou army will inevitably encounter great trouble in the strategy of Songzhou.

Now the situation in Daliang is extremely complicated, although the fighting on the Zhengzhou front is still continuing, but the news fed back by the scouts said that the intensity of the war between the two sides has been reduced a lot, that is to say, although there is still war, but it is a stalemate.

It is reported that there should be some problems in the logistics of the Shatuo people, which makes the offensive somewhat unsustainable, and now the Shatuo people are trying their best to raise military resources and baggage, and once the follow-up baggage is replenished in place, I am afraid that the war will be in full swing again.

Although Nanyang and Caizhou have both invaded the line of Henan Province and Ruzhou, Xuzhou, and Chenzhou, they have stopped quite tacitly, which shows that the tacit understanding between Nanyang, Caizhou and the Shatuo people has been broken, and they have begun to plan for the fall of the Great Liang.

In other words, if the Shatuo people want to destroy the Great Liang, they can only rely on their own strength.

Nanyang and Caizhou are now more inclined to grabbing profits, and have even begun to build a defensive line against the Shatuo people.

For the Shatuo people, as long as they can defeat the Liang, everything else can be put in the future, the Liang is their only enemy of life and death, and Nanyang and Caizhou, maybe the Shatuo people did not put it in their eyes, as long as the Liang, even if they are unable to solve Nanyang and Caizhou for a while, as long as they take a little rest and relax, they can be broken individually, including Xuzhou.

Shatuo people also need to take a breather and recuperate, the hundred-legged insects of the beam are dead but not stiff, as long as the beam is given a chance to breathe, maybe it will be able to recover, so the Shatuo people will not give the beam this opportunity.
