Chapter 188: Goal
Jincheng - Tianshui - Hanzhong, is Lu Weimang's plan early in the morning, and this route rubs the Qiang defense line, but also in Huo Jing's eyes, this time Changfeng came over at the right time, and was sent by Lu Weimang to Tianshui to take root, whether Changfeng and Lin Chen developed independently in Tianshui in the future, or Lu Weimang assisted from it, the process can be, it doesn't matter, what matters is the result of this matter.
The line of defense, the trade route, and the double channel are the ultimate goals of Lu Weimang and Huo Jing.
At the beginning of the new dynasty of Daqian, the timing of the great reshuffle, whether it is for the sake of being able to do whatever you want or for the sake of being at ease, the development of one's own power is the most important thing.
No one will bully you because you are reasonable, and no one will not bully you because you are reasonable. This world is not a world of pure morality, but a world where strength is king.
Every time Lu Weimang went out on an errand with Huo Jing since he entered the office, others would only talk nonsense in front of Lu Weimang, and even if he had a seizure in the court, he would not deal with Huo Jing so easily, because he had the roots of Huo Jiajun and Yongzhou behind him.
Therefore, this time Lu Weimang and Huo Jing went out of Beijing as officials, not simply to have a casual play, but on the one hand, to avoid the senseless calculations and endless targets in Beijing, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to root their own roots.
She doesn't want to rely on Huo Jing or His Majesty and Niangniang's support every time she has something, she wants to support herself herself.
An increasingly prosperous Yongzhou is her foundation, and the road from Yongzhou to Hanzhong is one of her tentacles.
Chengyang is in Hanzhong, Changfeng is in Tianshui, and she is in Jincheng, so she can rely on the merchants of Tianshui to get in touch with the land of Hanzhong in Zhili.
Of course, these do not mean that Lu Weimang and Huo Jing will plot anything, the emperor has always been the most difficult profession from ancient times to the present. It's just two people for comfort.
Freedom always requires confidence.
She and Huo Jing were not free because of the names of the Hou Ye and his wife, but because they were the chief officials of Yongzhou and the masters of the Huo family's army. Rootless freedom will one day be forced to be defeated by reality. It will be too late to get up and regret it then.
"It seems that this year, the three of you sisters and brothers can reunite in Jincheng."
Huo Jing said with a smile, and Lu Weimang nodded with a smile.
Early the next morning, Ding Yi led the team, and two columns of armor soldiers set off from Jincheng, and everyone rode a horse and a horse, and rushed to Tianshui.
The carrier pigeon set off much earlier than Ding Yi, and as soon as the sky was bright, the carrier pigeon flew out of Jincheng Huofu.
"What, what did Sister and Brother-in-law say in the letter?"
Early in the morning, Lu Changfeng jumped up from the bed and came to Lin Chen's room to wait for the results, Lin Chen took out the reply letter from the young master he received early in the morning and handed it to Lu Changfeng.
"The armor will be here in the evening, Brother Lin, we can go down and reply to the merchants!"
Lu Changfeng was excited.
His original intention was just to help the poor people downstairs, but at this moment, with the support of his sister and brother-in-law, he was even happier and went downstairs with Lin Chen.
At this time, it was only the end of the hour, and the winter morning had just appeared in the faint sunshine, but the merchants came to the lobby early to wait, and no one dared to go up to urge, and at this time, when they saw the nobles appear on the dark wooden staircase, they stood up suddenly, and looked closely at the teenagers and young men on the stairs, waiting for their reply.
Lu Changfeng stopped, stood at the corner of the stairs, glanced at Brother Lin behind him, and then stepped forward and faced everyone in the hall, "Prepare today, if you need to go to Hanzhong, you will report in the lobby for a while, prepare your own salute, and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
"Oh...!"
"Great!"
"Noble kindness!"
…
The merchants were boiling and clasped their fists in thanks to the teenagers and young men in the middle of the heights.
Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen returned the salute and smiled at each other.
It turns out that this is the feeling of doing things, it has not been done yet, it is just the beginning, and it is so steady.
At two o'clock in the morning, at the door of the Yuelai Inn, there was a long queue, there were businessmen in plain clothes, and there were also barefoot merchants dressed in short clothes, everyone was not crowded, and they lined up quietly in accordance with the order.
"What is this for?"
There are strange places where there are onlookers, and soon, the spacious street at the entrance of the Yuelai Inn was surrounded by the people in Tianshui City, and there was only a small road left for people to pass sideways.
"You don't know? Yesterday, a horse thief chased the merchant outside Tianshui City, and a noble man rescued the merchant from the knife. Seeing that the merchant's situation was really dangerous and pitiful, the nobleman agreed to take action before the year to protect the merchants coming and going. ”
"Is this a good thing?"
Some people don't believe it.
Who is the nobleman? At that time, there were people with money and status, where would they take care of these merchants?
"Don't you see? The soldier who was in charge of registering at the door of the Yuelai Inn, did you see it? The two of them are wearing the same set of soft armor, and they are also literate and literate, these two people are the nobles' generals, can this still be fake? ”
"That's right!"
The man agreed.
Just look at this general, you can know that the nobleman is not ordinary, this person stared at the two generals who were recording for a while, and immediately turned around and walked out of the crowd.
"Hey, why are you going? Haven't you been okay these days? Let's talk about going to the restaurant in a while! ”
When the man saw his companion turn around and leave, he wanted to stop him, but he might as well let the man go away like a loach, "Go eat, I have something to do." ”
The person who got out was nothing else, at the end of the previous year, he didn't dare to venture out of the city, he could only see those bold merchants drinking wine and eating meat, and now there are nobles to escort him, then he will also fight to run a few more times at the end of the year, even if he gives the nobles fifty percent of the harvest, he can also make a lot of money at the end of the year.
There are many people who think this way.
Yongzhou has thin land, and farming can only starve to death, and there is no profit. In previous years, inside and outside Tianshui City, nearly three adults made a living from business. Don't underestimate these three adults, except for the old and weak, women and children, nearly half of the strong laborers are on the business road.
At the end of previous years, because the world was too chaotic, and Tianshui was close to the Qiang people, and there was no danger to defend, so the people would go out in winter and spring.
At present, there are noble escorts, safe and sound, where can I not take the opportunity to run a few more business. The end of the year is a good time to make money, this is known to all ages!
In this way, the queue at the entrance of the Yuelai Inn became longer and longer, and by the time the sun set, there was still a long queue that had not been registered.
Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen went to the door to inspect and found that the length of the line was longer than in the morning, and they looked at each other in front of them.
"Noble, is it cold or not? Hungry or not? Some of us are going to carry the stove, please work hard a little more, how about registering for us? ”
When someone saw the nobleman come out, he was anxious at the moment, and shouted like this, for fear that the nobleman would be afraid of the cold and close the team, but these people have not yet reported their names!
Seeing these merchants with their hands shrunk in their sleeves, their faces were white and dry, but they were still worried about them, Changfeng seemed to suddenly have a different feeling.
He has never suffered since he was a child, even when he was six years old, he went out with his sister, and he did not suffer any crimes. Now when I see the faces of the people with expectation and caution, a string in my heart seems to be touched.
He seemed to understand some of Sister A's practices. Sister Ah has not been short of money since she entered Beijing, her grades are good, and she is the only female student in Guozijian, but that's it, Sister Ah often stays up late for her studies. When he was a child, his companions often hooked him to skip school to play, and said that Sister Ah didn't know why she worked so hard. He seems to know now, and that's what it means. The common meaning of working hard with Sister A.
At that moment, Lu Changfeng waved his hand, "Don't worry, let's register until the end of the hour tonight, and early tomorrow morning, there will still be someone in charge of registration, or this old place, register the person who will leave the day after tomorrow." If someone is in a hurry, you can slow down and set off the day after tomorrow! ”
Lu Changfeng said loudly, and everyone responded violently when they heard it, "Thank you for your understanding!" ”
Turning around and leaving the door of the inn, Changfeng rode with Lin Chen, "Brother Lin, our career seems to have begun." ”
"Hmm."
