When the book and paper competition is over, Langya Pavilion has become a place to sell books and paper in Chang'an City.

So!

There's nothing to deal with anymore.

Now he runs a restaurant, a tailor's shop, a carpentry shop, and a shop that makes all kinds of jewelry for women.

Make money!

There are no more than three kinds, men's money, women's money, and children's money.

this era.

You don't have to think about the child's money.

When it comes to business, the people of the Han Dynasty actually wanted to buy real estate, but most of their thinking was limited to enclosures.

Thereinto!

Like a famous figure in the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He, after the Han Dynasty dominated the world, he had power in his hands, and he also had crazy enclosures.

This is normal.

Land is the foundation of agriculture.

In ancient times, agriculture was valued over commerce, so land was more important.

But in any case, businessmen have been the most profitable type of people in all dynasties. Even the famous Guan Zhong once worked in business to make a living.

Now Huo Guang's business is booming.

He didn't have to stare too much.

The only thing to worry about may be the rangers.

These guys, if not well controlled, are a ticking time bomb. But if it is well controlled, it is a double-edged sword.

Will use.

It's good for you.

If not?

is harmful to yourself.

Huo Guang's method of controlling them is also the most effective and direct, nothing more than wine, meat, money, and a mouth full of benevolence and morality.

Isn't that what the ranger eats!

So.

After the affairs in the Langya Pavilion were done, he stopped the business here for a day to entertain these rangers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, I was busy and hard for the affairs of Langya Pavilion. This Lang has specially set up a banquet here to treat you all." Huo Guang said to everyone in front of him.

The rangers, who were drinking and eating meat, also responded: "Huo Yilang is too polite, there is wine and meat to eat, what can we work hard, hahaha..."

He who said these things.

Most of them are rangers who have come from afar.

They had only heard about Guo Xie and had very little contact.

Especially the actual beneficiaries like Fei Crab and Zhao Ji are more vocal in their support.

But.

There is still a small ranger who is not satisfied with the status quo.

They were originally Guo Jie's protégés.

After drinking some wine, he shouted, "Huo Yilang, let me ask you, you said that you wanted to save Guo Jiexia, why did you not see you rescue Guo Xie after a month?"

"Every day, let's do something out of tune."

"First I advertised a competition, and then I promoted a painting for others. Are you making a profit for yourself, or are you really saving Brother Guo?"

"Anyway, I can't see what you let us do has to do with saving people."

Huo Guang glanced at this person lightly, and he already knew that the other party was Guo Jie's original doorman Xu Kang.

These doormen.

It is also what Huo Guang is most worried about.

If it weren't for them, Guo Xie in history would not have been executed. After all, most of the officials investigating Guo Jie's crimes were before the amnesty.

Later, Guo Xie is old, and he is very honest, and he has nothing to do when he investigates.

After thinking about it, Huo Guang said calmly, "What I want you to do is naturally to save people. What's more, it's only been a month, what are you anxious about. A good sword still needs to be sharpened for ten years, why, you can't wait for this time?"

However.

Xu Kang, Guo Jie's doorman, said, "What is it to save people, I don't think you have this mind at all."

After speaking.

He looked at several rangers who had a good relationship, all of whom were Guo Jie's protégés, and said, "Let's go and save Brother Guo ourselves.

Don't count on this kid."

"Good!"

Thereupon.

After he said this, the men left directly.

Huo Guang's eyes were slightly cold, and he beckoned Fei Crab over, and said, "Brother Fei, stare Xu Kang to death, we must not let this kind of brainless guy ruin our plan to rescue Guo Daxia. It doesn't matter if he quits the brocade, I'm afraid that this fool will really kill Guo Daxia."

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Fei Crab nodded and said, "I know, Zhao Ji and I will keep an eye on him when the time comes."

"Okay."

Huo Guang nodded, and then in order to appease the rangers present, he began to arrange for the singers to dance.

After taking care of the emotions of these rangers.

Behind.

He took the servants again and went to Langya Pavilion. Since His Majesty has appointed his oil painting as the first place in the competition, it is only natural that he will take away the million-dollar prize.

It's just that Huo Guang didn't expect it.

went to Langya Pavilion and actually met the brothers and sisters of the Sang family.

Not beat around the bush.

Huo Guang didn't really want to run into these two people.

One regards himself as a confidant, and when he meets, he will be forced to chatter, and the other will regard himself as an enemy, and he will scold and scold when he meets.

It's not.

I saw Huo Guang coming.

Sang Meiren frowned directly and scolded: "Chang'an is so small, I can meet you everywhere I go!"

Get!

I was scolded as soon as I came...

Huo Guang's temperament is not used to it, so he directly pretended to be fierce, and immediately frowned, and said, "Who is the scoundrel scolding?"

"Of course I'm scolding you!" Sang Meiren snorted and said.

After Huo Guang heard this, the fierce look on his face disappeared, and then he showed an indifferent expression, and said, "Oh, it turned out that the scoundrel was scolding me, then it's okay."

It's a very old-fashioned routine, and it's not bad to use it in ancient times.

Saw!

This mulberry beauty realized that she had been tricked, and her teeth immediately itched.

But that's not much of a problem.

The point is that she also saw her brother Sang Qian, snickering on the side?

Immediately!

couldn't help but push her brother Sang Qian, and said, "Sang Qian, you are still laughing, just watching your sister being bullied by outsiders?"

No way.

Playing ball at home, after all, it's still his sister outside.

Sang Qian had no choice but to say to Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, after all, I am the younger sister and brother, this is outside, or not..."

The words are not finished.

Huo Guang directly interrupted, "Brother Sang Qian, I am going to spend money outside the city to enclose a piece of land and specialize in breeding animals. As long as you come, you have the final say on what you raise."

Enclosure of a piece of land?

What to raise, he Sangqian has the final say?

Immediately!

Sang Qian's eyes lit up, he looked at Sang Meiren, and directly chose to kill his relatives in righteousness, and said, "Didn't you offend Brother Huo first? I've heard it all, it's obvious that you were the one who said that people were scoundrels first!"

said.

He also apologized to Huo Guang: "Forgive me, my sister is still young and doesn't know how to be polite."

Huo Guang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Kong Shengdu said, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and I don't care."

Sang Meiren was angry with this soft-boned Sang Qian.

But!

Later, I heard Huo Guang say something like "Only women and villains are difficult to raise".

In an instant, it was as if he had discovered a new continent, and he mocked, "Hmph, it's really another guy who doesn't learn or know. The Master said this to the monarch, to be careful and to control the women and villains around him."

Yoh?

This brutal Sang beauty knows a lot.

Immediately, Huo Guang Yile said, "Then I can't use this sentence to talk about you?"

"Of course not, you are not a monarch, and I can't be your concubine, how can I use it

On me?" Sang Meiren proudly puffed up her slightly raised chest and mocked, "Writing on the paper you created is simply an insult to me, I would rather write in a simple slip for the rest of my life."

said.

She put all the books and papers she bought in her hands in Sang Qian's arms.

However this time.

He found that Huo Guang's eyes had been staring at him, and he immediately blushed and scolded, "You prodigal son, what are you staring at me!"

Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and said, "The phoenix hairpin on your head was bought at a jewelry shop in the west of the city, right?"

"Oh, nothing malicious!"

"Just to remind you, that's the shop I opened, and the style is all designed by me. As far as I know, there is no hairpin of this style in Chang'an City at present, only me!"

Sang Meiren listened.

When he took off the hairpin, he said, "Then pay you back and return my money!"

Refund?

Inexistent!

Huo Guang shook his head directly and said, "I'm sorry, once sold, I won't return it."

Sang Meiren suddenly threw the hairpin to Sang Qian angrily, and then said, "If you don't return the money, the Sang family doesn't lack this money, don't want it."

After saying this.

She found that Huo Guang was still staring at her, and immediately her face turned even redder, and she said angrily, "Don't you know that you don't look at indecent things? Look!"

Huo Guang stretched out his hand, pointed to the clothes she was wearing, and said, "You bought this dress at a tailor's shop in the north of the city, right?" That's the dress I designed, well, I have to say, the little lady looks pretty good."

Side!

Sang Qian, who had received the benefits promised by Huo Guang, didn't even think it was a big deal and asked, "Little sister, if that's the case, you can't wear clothes!"

"Sang Qian, you..."

"Humph!"

Forthwith.

Sang Mei ran into the Langya Pavilion angrily and shouted, "Dad, my brother helped outsiders bully me."

Yo...

It turned out that Sang Hong Yang was also there.

Seeing that Sang Meiren called out her father, Huo Guang had no choice but to stop teasing her.

As soon as Sang Hongyang came out, he looked at the outsider his daughter said turned out to be Huo Guang, and immediately frowned and said, "Huo Yilang, don't bully my daughter. At your average age, after a few years, you will be able to perform the crown salute and the prostration, so it is better not to be so frivolous."

Forehead...

Obviously, it was your daughter who thought about it first.

Never mind.

Good men don't fight women!

Huo Guang didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he had to smile lightly: "Isn't this not yet the age of the crown ceremony, let's talk about it later!"

"Sang Shizhong."

"I have something I want to ask you, why is this Chang'an City suddenly under martial law today, and the road is full of Yulin troops and soldiers and horses?"

This thing.

It started early this morning.

In particular, his restaurant was in the most serious situation, and a large number of soldiers were stationed outside, resulting in a serious decline in customer flow, and there was no business.

This is also the reason why Huo Guang is not open today, and gathers the rangers to eat and drink.

It's just that!

After some operation.

He obviously felt that martial law was even stronger.

So I immediately suspected that something might have happened and what it might have to do with the restaurant.

This is Huo Guang's preliminary conjecture.

When asked by Huo Guang, Sang Hongyang shook his head and said, "I don't know, since I met Your Majesty the night before yesterday, I can't enter the palace, and the palace is under martial law."

"I heard about it, anyway."

"It seems like Your Majesty had a nightmare, right? Shhhh

A nightmare?

It's just a dream, is it necessary to be so excited?

I don't know.

I thought there had been a palace change!

suddenly

Guang shook his head, feeling that the emperor in this palace was also making too much of a fuss.

At this time.

He looked up at Sang Hongyang and asked, "There is nothing going on in Langya Pavilion today, Sang Shizhong is not resting at home, why did he drag his son and daughter and come here?"

Hear this.

Sang Hongyang sighed and said, "It's really helpless, Huo Yilang, don't laugh, I'm here to avoid the dispute between Cai and Tang!"

"Vegetable soup controversy?" Huo Guang's eyes were full of doubts.

In the beginning.

He thought these guys were idle. Later, I found out that I was empty.

I only heard Sang Hongyang say: "Huo Yilang doesn't care about what happened in the court at all, the dispute between the prime minister Li Cai and the imperial historian Zhang Tang and the second prince has been going on for a long time. Now that the contradiction has intensified, Prime Minister Li Cai is ready to make a move against the imperial historian Zhang Tang, don't you know anything about this?"

All right!

So that's what happened.

Huo Guang immediately nodded, "I've heard a little bit about it, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I'm a little talker with 600 stones, and the battle between the three princes and the nine kings can't affect me, so what about him?"

However.

Sang Hongyang said, "Huo Yilang is confused!"

"Huh? Am I confused?" Huo Guang looked puzzled.

At this time, Sang Hongyang waved his hand to his children and asked them to go elsewhere, and then whispered to Huo Guang: "Yilang's salary is indeed not high, but you forget, you are the champion brother, and your reputation is outside, how can it not be affected."

"Even if it's a servant like me who doesn't even have a formal official position, you have to hide."

"After all!"

"I am a close minister of His Majesty's side, and there are merchants of the Luoyang Sang family behind me, and I am the object of the court fight. But I don't want to be involved, I can only hide as far as I can."

After hearing this.

Huo Guang's heart also became slightly nervous, and said, "Sang Shizhong has said so, then it seems that I should also hide!"

However.

Sang Shizhong shook his head and said, "It's useless for you to hide, you are already a member of the Tang faction."

Hear this.

Huo Guang thought that the other party was teasing him, so he asked, "How do you explain this?"

Sang Hongyang said, "There's no way, who told you to go to Zhao Country with Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang last time and solve the matter of Prince Liu Dan together. Now the whole court basically treats you as Zhang Tang's side."

I rub!

Accompany Zhang Tang to Zhao Guo to handle the case, isn't that His Majesty's order!

Can this also be related to yourself?

Huo Guang couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "This can't be counted, right? Sang Shizhong!"

Sang Hongyang shook his head and said, "If it's just like this, it really can't be counted. But have you forgotten that you have offended General Li Guang?"

"Ah, there was a skirmish, what's wrong?" Huo Guang asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong? Li Guang and Li Chengxiang, the two are brothers. If you offend General Li Guang, even if you are not, you will have to be beaten into a member of the Zhang Tang faction." Sang Hongyang said.

After Huo Guang heard this, he was taken aback.

This Li Guang and Prime Minister Li Cai turned out to be brothers?

All right!

He really didn't know that.

At this time, looking at Sang Hongyang's expression, it feels like saying, it's not good for you to offend anyone, but you offended Li Guang!

You can't run away now, can you?

But.

In fact, Huo Guang was not very worried in his heart, he now lives in the Great General's Mansion, and his brother is the champion Hou Hussar General.

Even if Prime Minister Li Cai knocked down the imperial historian Zhang Tang, it would not have a great impact on him.

Forthwith.

Huo Guang waved his hand and said, "Then let's do it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since they can't hide, then let the storm come more violently."

"Sang Shizhong, let's not talk about it for now."

"I'm here to move something

Go ahead and go!"

After speaking.

Huo Guang commanded people to move the millions of money back to his small treasury one by one.

And when Sang Hongyang learned about this, he immediately chased after him and asked, "Where is Huo Yilang going to move the money, isn't this money owned by the winner of the first work, Qilin Caizi?"

"Ahh Huo Guang nodded, and said, "I forgot to say, I am the Qilin Caizi, and that painting is what I painted!"

Is he the Qilin Caizi?

After hearing this, Sang Hongyang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that the painting was made by Huo Yilang!"

"Hahaha, that's very good."

"Since this title belongs to you, then the 500,000 yuan from my Sang family's merchants..."
