Volume 1 Chapter 219 Uncle Geng's Scheme
"How dare you, the little nephew also hopes to serve the country as soon as possible, but the mother of the family is weak and often lies on the sickbed. I also asked my uncle to take care of me" I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but I still looked very respectful and grateful on the surface.
"Hehe, the old man knows the truth, but it's a pity that a talent like you can't serve the country early." Yang Xuangan laughed loudly and waved his hand disappreciatively.
Then, I talked some gossip with my son, and the old guy had a lack of excuses, so my son naturally took the opportunity to leave.
"Qingfu, on behalf of the old man, I will send off the eldest grandson and Gao Xiandi, don't be lazy, do you know the way?" Yang Xuangan yawned loudly and waved his hand.
Sister Qingxia responded respectfully, summoned her subordinates, supported her uncle, and her son also walked out of the city
"I heard that "Wu Mourning Heavenly King" was performed in Xiyuan today, and I think about it, I must be welcomed by those noble ministers, right?" Walking slowly behind the two servants of the Chu State who were supporting my uncle, walking side by side with Qingfu, a smell like an orchid and musk hit his nose.
"Okay, Your Majesty also took this opportunity to inspire all the noble ministers to be determined to destroy Goguryeo in order to show the prestige of our Great Sui State." I walked with my steps, I don't know why, the faint fragrance, always makes people feel a little uneasy, with the movement of the footsteps, that beautiful face, in the light flickering and dimming.
Will such a woman also have to fall with Yang Xuangan's rebellion? In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little pity, thinking that a heroic talent like Yang Xuangan would definitely not expose his rebellion plan for the sake of the slaves in the family, that is, they would continue to stay in Luoyang to show that Yang Xiong did not have any intention of rebellion.
And when everything really happens, I believe that at that time, I am afraid that the incomparably luxurious Duke of Chu will be in ruins, and these people in the Duke of Chu Mansion will also disappear into blood and fire like that luxurious building.
"What's wrong with Childe? Is there anything wrong with slaves? Qing Fu couldn't help but look at himself with some curiosity when he saw my gaze, and then looked at me, his calm eyes hidden by the shadow next to the street lamp
"It's nothing, it's just, well, if you sisters can go in and out of the mansion at will, go to the theater often, wait" I reached into my arms and touched it, took out a VIP card, and handed it to her.
"It's ......" The light was dim, and she couldn't see the words on it at all.
"This is a VIP card, with this card, whether it is in the Quanjude Hotel or the Grand Theater, you can enjoy a 20% discount. I hope the little lady can come often. "I'm polite and authentic. Perhaps, when it happened, they could take the opportunity to slip away and say not necessarily.
Holding this card, Qingfu couldn't help but smile, and her delicate smile seemed to make the lights light up. "Childe is really shrewd enough, even guests like slaves and maids. However, I still thank the son for his kindness, and if the slave maid has time, she will definitely go to see it. ”
"Well, the doors of the theater and the hotel will be open for you at any time." Ben Gongzi subconsciously said, well, I have too much to deal with those customers, and this kind of words have become a habit.
"Well, thank you, Childe." Qingfu's head hung down, and her light steps continued to tread on the path of light and darkness, revealing indescribable joy.
The army finally went out again, and my uncle, this time he also went out with the Son of Heaven, very speechless, I really don't know what Yang Guang, the old rascal, means, my uncle is the same as me, he belongs to the cultural people who are polite and courteous, and he has no power to tie the chicken, besides, his official position does not belong to the military, why should he let my uncle go with him?
The unit where my uncle worked was a bit like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in later generations, specializing in dealing with those Tibetan subordinates, could it be said that Yang Guang was so confident in winning Goguryeo? Otherwise, if my uncle went to such a place, it would be impossible for him to talk about peace with those Goguryeo barbarians, right?
Grandma's face is not very good, my aunt's expression is not good, my mother is also sighing softly, as for the sister, a pair of beautiful eyes are rolling around, accompanying my grandmother, sitting on the bench in the pavilion.
"Anyway, the Son of Heaven has a fate, my son should be edicted, Dalang, go here, be careful all the way, don't be brave with that horseman." Grandma sighed lightly, and her loving eyes fell on her uncle, and she solemnly confessed.
"Mother, please rest assured, the child will be cautious, but the child is not there, please take care of your body, wait for the child to come back, and then serve the mother." The uncle knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
"Okay, get up, take care, don't forget, mother, and your wife, will be waiting for you here. Do you know the way? Grandma walked over, picked up her uncle, raised her hand and wiped his uncle's forehead, with a gentle face.
I couldn't help but feel that my eyes were sour, I turned my head slightly, and when I saw that my mother's eyes were already red, I stepped forward to help my grandmother, and said with a smile: "Mother, it's not a big deal for my brother to go to the army, my brother is just a civil official, so he naturally follows His Majesty, even if there is danger, it is not dangerous." ”
"Well, that's good, let's go, by the way, good grandson, you take the old man's place and give your uncle a ride." Grandma smiled with tears in her eyes and beckoned to me.
"Grandson obeys, uncle, let's go, if you don't leave, you can miss the time..." I nodded, walked over to my uncle, who was also in tears, and whispered. finally made my uncle wake up from the separation.
"Mowgli, the old man is not here, your grandmother and your aunt will be entrusted to you first." As I rode on the horse, my uncle, who had recovered his mood, turned his head and said to me.
I nodded vigorously: "Uncle, you can rest assured, grandma and aunt will definitely take care of it, but uncle, you should also take care of yourself, when you go to the battlefield, don't rush too forward." ”
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but smile: "Stinky boy, although the old man is a civil official, he can still open a three-stone bow and hold a three-foot Qingfeng." By the way, the old man knew that the Duke of Chu intended to recommend you to serve under him and was rejected by you, the old man knew that you did the right thing. Also, don't get too close to Chu Guogong.
Hearing this, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but look up in amazement, and looked at his uncle, I really don't understand, could it be that my uncle is ......
"Do you think that with the amount of alcohol that the old man has, he Yang Xuangan can chat with you calmly?" The old man sighed softly. "The old man has no choice but to pretend to be drunk......
"Uncle, could it be that the Duke of Chu Guogong is going to do something that makes you embarrassed?" My little heart couldn't help jumping wildly, could it be that my uncle had seen through Yang Xuangan's true face, and knew that this guy was going to rebel
"......," the uncle opened his mouth to speak, but after a moment of hesitation, he nodded. Yes, he wanted the old man to do something with him, but the old man was not optimistic about him, so he personally wrote a letter to ask for war, in order to go to Goguryeo with the army. So as not to regret it when the time comes. ”
Speaking of this, this son is already very clear that with the relationship between the uncle and Yang Xuangan, that guy must have faintly revealed some information, which was completely filled by the uncle's brain, and the uncle is by no means an unwise person, so he naturally knows that at this time, the farther away from Yang Xuangan, the safer it is for him.
To put it in layman's terms, if Yang Xuangan rebelled, and although his uncle was his deacon, he served in the Son of Heaven Army, then even if it was a little involved, I was afraid that it would not be big.
It seems that although the uncle is an upright person, he is not the kind of stupid guy, otherwise, he will not be able to become the sixth most meritorious minister in the Tang Dynasty in the future.
“…… In short, you remember, don't get too close to the Duke of Chu, otherwise there will be a big disaster. Got it? "My uncle was afraid that I wouldn't understand, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only tell me solemnly.
"Uncle, although you are relieved, Wuji is still young now, and he has no idea of becoming an official, so he should do a good job and make my business bigger first, and filial piety to my mother and grandmother is the right thing, as for other things, if they have nothing to do with Wuji, my nephew will hang them high and ignore them."
My words made my uncle look suspicious, but after looking at me for a while, he didn't see anything unusual, so he nodded and continued to gallop his horse.
"Childe, the little one has gone back to Chang'an to check, although the Qi State Mansion in Chang'an looks a little old, but those who stayed in Chang'an have always been very clean, and the manor outside the city is still the same, and the two hundred or so customers there are working hard...... In addition, the business of the coal factory we opened in Chang'an is very prosperous, and the building materials such as cement masonry are also very popular with the people. And the sales of the iron furnace factory have always been in short supply, but since this month, business has been a little colder, after all, the weather has warmed.
"In addition, the business of the Quanjude Hotel in Chang'an is also very prosperous, and the business is no less than our main store in Luoyang......"
In front of me, kneeling sat a middle-aged man who was no more than thirty years old, looking like a weak scholar, surnamed Zheng Mingye Ziyang, who was also a scholarly disciple, and later became the account of the Duke of Qi, and now, he has become one of the most powerful assistants under my hands.
He is responsible for supervising the production of various businesses of this child. Anyway, he just has to go around every month to see the business situation in various places, and of course, there are some more important things that he needs to do.
"Well, how is the operation of the grain store we opened now?" I asked, as I skimmed through the tables and data he had presented me.
"The three shops in Luoyang City and the four shops in Chang'an City have been opened, but now it is spring, so it is more difficult to collect grain, and the price is almost thirty percent higher than that of the autumn harvest. Fortunately, the weather was good last year, and there were good harvests in various places, so so far, we have purchased nearly 100,000 koku of grain. Zheng Ye replied after thinking about it.
