Chapter 100 The Situation in Hexi
Early in the morning, Zhang Fakui dressed neatly and led his brothers to stand in a row in front of Tingfeng Pavilion Restaurant, full of energy, to greet the new talker sent by the Han family to Beishi, Han Wei, with the fullest enthusiasm.
When Han Wei appeared, Zhang Fakui waved his hand, and suddenly the gongs and drums on the street were noisy, the sound of suona was deafening, and the dragon and lion dances and firecrackers exploded. After the crackling sound of firecrackers, the ground was full of red remnants, and the naughty boy rushed into the debris and grabbed the broken firecrackers.
Han Wei is not tall, with a thin body, sharp-beaked monkey gills, and two bent and upturned short mustaches on his upper lip, which looks like the jack of spades in poker.
Han Wei was able to come here because Han Fei's clumsy performance annoyed the Han family's top management. And the arrival of Han Wei is a new opportunity for Zhang Fakui. He wanted to have a good relationship with Han Wei before Han Fei lifted the ban, hugging his thighs and changing the mountain. What frustrated Zhang Fakui is that Han Wei has his own team, and he didn't come alone.
In the past, Han Wei transported goods to the Han family, and he had a dart team under him. Some of the elite darts were brought to Beishi by Han Wei.
But Zhang Fakui did not flinch, but planned to show his hand in front of Han Wei. With a whistle, he summoned all the ruffians and thieves in Beishi to worship Han Wei, the new big brother in Beishi, and called him the head of the big snake.
Han Wei sat upright in the hall, his face like cold water: "What is a big snake head?" I don't like this title. If you want to mess with me, call me Xiaowei. ”
Zhang Fakui exclaimed: "You are the eldest brother, how can you be called Xiaowei?" ”
"I'm a big brother, I'm just an errand runner for the Han family." Han Wei swept at Zhang Fakui and the others with cold eyes, and said, "When you are a big brother, will it end well?" ”
Han Wei's words alluded to Han Fei, Zhang Fakui's eyes rolled, and he immediately said, "It makes sense!" You can't be too crazy to be a man, when you accumulate thick and thin, and win steadily! ”
Han Wei waved his hand and said, "I don't interfere with the affairs of your Silver Snake Gang, and I am not here to take charge of things, and I am not here to replace anyone." Maybe your big snake will come back in a few days, and then I'll have to do my old job. But before he comes back, I hope that my brothers will work together to make money! ”
Han Wei's words made Zhang Fakui confused, and he thought it was true at first. Later, when he discovered Han Wei's series of actions, he felt that something was wrong with this guy. Zhang Fakui thinks that Han Wei's grandson is actually a good match with himself.
Han Wei looked at Han Fei's accounts and asked that the money earned this month must exceed that of the previous month. The solution he gave was also very simple, that is, let the Silver Snake Gang make trouble and suppress competitors. If this does not increase his income, Han Wei will sell those stores that are not profitable and forcibly buy those that make money.
……
The eldest young master and the wife of the fifth old man's family walked out of the Loulan County Lord's Mansion with a scolding, just because Tang Mei once again refused her request for payment. The young lady felt very shameless, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she stood at the gate of the county lord's mansion and scolded.
This scene was bumped into by Wu Xiaoxiao, who went out to buy snacks for the county lord, and argued with the young lady. The young lady was annoyed and raised her hand to fight. Wu Xiao trotted away, hiding behind the door to reveal half of his face, and continued to count down the young lady.
At this time, the young lady had something to say, she said that the servants of the county lord's mansion did not understand the rules, and they dared to contradict me, the lady of the main room who was married in a sedan chair. It's really that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the dog is fighting the human power, and he wants to go to Zongzheng Mansion to complain. Yunyun.
Hearing the curse, Mama Wang walked out with her waist bent and reprimanded Wu Xiaoxiao. At this time, the young lady twisted his waist and left.
Mama Wang's voice was very strong, but this time she didn't beat Wu Xiaoxiao, but said to Wu Xiaoxiao, next time someone scolds the county lord, you should stand up and do it with her. Don't be afraid of grandma talking about you, it's for outsiders to see.
"The county lord of our family is not born to be a material for scolding. If we slaves don't help the county lord again, the county lord will let these mothers-in-law bully. I don't know what the fourth prince thinks, and all the will be handed over to our county lord. As for the county lord of our family, he really gave her brother face, and continued all the bad things. ”
Mama Wang walked back in pieces, and while talking, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Wu Xiaoxiao's pocket.
Every time the maid goes out to buy something, she has to go back to the scales, if she is less than two catties, Mama Wang will scold, but today she didn't go through the scales, so she sent those melons, fruits, pears and peaches upstairs.
At this time, the county lord was reading the account book upstairs, and the candidate county Ma Su bottle was sitting on the side, not knowing what he was writing. It is said that Su Alternative is teaching the county lord some "equation", and the old lady is confused when he hears it. However, the county lord studied very seriously, and said that this "equation" was really convenient.
At this time, Mingyue, the maid in the courtyard of the eighth lady next door, came to invite Su Bottle, saying that the eighth aunt Lin Tong was going to return to the army, and she planned to have a banquet for a few friends today, which was counted as a farewell. Su Bottle said, since he is leaving, how can he let him be the east, why don't I be the east, and set up a banquet for him in the county lord's mansion.
The maid Mingyue ran back to report the news, and after a while, she ran back again, saying that Lin Tong had prepared wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables, and was just waiting for everyone to pass, so Su Bottle prepared some gifts and went to the next door.
Lin Tong will take a military stagecoach to Chang'an tomorrow, and then transfer from Chang'an to Wuwei, and continue to be Wuwei Sima.
Lin Tong asked Su Bottle, does the Su family plan to return to Wuwei again?
Su Bottle said that the two younger brothers have joined the army, and when the father is old, he will stop dealing with the Hu people. It's not bad to retire in Chang'an safely.
"I heard that the second son, Tang Kun, and the third son, Tang Ding, led the team to continue westward. And the money for the march was given by the emperor. The emperor said that he would take advantage of the momentum of our army to take the sixteen small countries in the Western Regions and rebuild the Anxi Protectorate. In the future, the tax revenue of the Anxi Protectorate will be half of the imperial court and half of the Tang family. Originally, the father-in-law, Lao Taishan (Tang Qiong, Duke of Anguo), planned to let the eldest prince (Tang Qian) sit in the Western Regions, but he heard that the eldest prince was not feeling well, so he returned to Chang'an. After three rounds of drinking, Lin Tong talked about the major events of Longyou.
After he finished speaking, Tang Jian, the fifth son, said: "If he is not feeling well, he doesn't want to go at all." Sitting in Chang'an, long-term layout, ready to take over the title of father. ”
Lin Tong seemed to have a different opinion, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, Zhang Hu said: "No matter what they think, anyway, as soon as the Hexi trade road opens, the number of people from the Western Regions who come to Chang'an to do business will inevitably increase." By that time, Chang'an will have money. And here in Luoyang, there must be many people from the Western Regions coming over. I think the Tang family should find a way not to let those people from the Western Regions come to Luoyang, but intercept their goods halfway and sell them to Luoyang by the Tang family, so that they can make a lot of money. ”
Tang Jian smiled: "It's really a good way, when my father comes back, I want to talk to him about this." ”
Lin Tong said with a smile: "Doesn't the fifth uncle want to develop in the military world?" ”
Tang Jian sighed and said, "Since I married that dominatrix, my father has let me stay at home. Not to mention the wasted career, even if I keep this dominatrix all day long, I have lived enough. Quickly find me something to do, just let me go to the Western Regions, and I admit it. ”
It seemed that Tang Jian was a little drunk and actually said such a thing. However, the fierce personality of the fifth prince and wife is indeed enough. A woman with a fat head, big ears, waist and face, broad shoulders and a barrel waist, like a sow standing. If Tang Jian was playing outside and came home a little late, she would pinch her waist and stare at the door. When he saw Tang Jian, he took it home and drank it.
Lin Tong said with relief: "How can the fifth uncle be born in the blessing and don't know the blessing, the fifth sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the king of Qi, and His Royal Highness the king of Qi is like the sun in the sky, and it is the pillar of the court of the Liang Dynasty." Father-in-law Lao Taishan left his fifth uncle at home and was not allowed to go to the battlefield, because he was worried that something would happen, so he cut off contact with King Qi. ”
Tang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, people will die if they fight, this time the old eleven will be ......gone, alas, I have a deep relationship with the eleventh brother, I heard that he is gone, I feel so uncomfortable......"
Tang Si, the eleventh son known as a prodigy, died young, which was a big loss for the Tang family. He did not die in defeat, but in the pursuit of the enemy army, he was killed by a cold arrow. can't help but sigh, God is jealous of talents.
Su Bei basically couldn't interject, so he sat aside and listened, hearing that Tang Qiong, the Duke of Anguo, was preparing to return to the court, and the troops supporting the Shence Army had also withdrawn.
The army of the Liang Dynasty had a five-general system at all levels, for example, the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army had Tang Qiong, the general of the Western Expedition, Zhao Guang, the chief army, Meng Tie, the governor of the grain officer, and the general staff Ximen Zaichong, and the deputy general of the Western Expeditionary Army, also known as the "chief deputy", was Tang Qian, the eldest son of the Tang family. These five people are known as the five generals of the Western Expeditionary Army.
The staffing of the Western Expeditionary Army can be called luxurious, Tang Qiong, Duke of Anguo, Zhao Guang, Prince Long, Meng Tie, General Staff of Feihu, Ximen Zaichong, General Staff of Huben, and Tang Gan, General Staff of Shence, are all battle-hardened and fierce generals under their accounts. This counterattack knocked the Sangla people to a thousand miles, fled back to the plateau, and bowed down.
Lin Tong said: "My father-in-law, Lao Taishan, is coming back, and it is estimated that I will marry Princess Changxia soon, but unfortunately I am about to leave Luoyang and cannot attend the wedding, so I send my blessings." ”
While speaking, Lin Tong squinted his eyes and said to Su Bottle: "I don't know when Baoyu will be able to marry the county lord, if Lin goes to Wuwei, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back, and he will not be able to celebrate Baoyu." ”
Su Bottle said: "Brother Kang Nian is a general guarding the frontier, and he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, how can he be distracted by my marriage." If there is a wedding day, our brothers write a letter, which is a celebration. ”
Knowing that Lin Tong was leaving, Eighth Miss Tang Yun felt sad and didn't know when her husband would come back. She had the heart to follow, but the family didn't allow it.
This time, Lin Tong went home to recuperate from his injuries, and his health was slightly better, and the two of them were crawling on the couch to make villains, but after tossing for a few months, there was no effect.
Miss Eight was in a hurry, but Lin Tong was not in a hurry. Because when he was in Wuwei, he hid a beautiful child in another courtyard, and he had already given birth to a son. It's just that I didn't dare to tell Miss Eight for a while.
In this war, Lin Tong fled in a hurry, unable to take Jiao and his son, and I don't know how their mother and son are doing......
