Chapter 140: Woohoo! There is no shortage of manpower to plant cotton
Huo Guang thought to himself which singer was wearing silk stockings and was lazy outside to see Wei Yan?
In fact!
Compared with black silk, Huo Guang still prefers white silk.
Ahem...
Then again!
I don't know if it's so cold, why is that singer walking outside wearing ***?
I'm not afraid of getting frozen.
I'm going to have a good beating when I come in!
Thinking of this, Huo Guang suddenly smiled, feeling that he was quite bored, thinking about something day by day.
After shaking his head, shaking off the messy thoughts in his head.
Huo Guang continued to talk to Bu San about things and asked, "Eh, San'er, I just looked at the account book and found that the list of sedan chairs ordered by the carpentry shop has skyrocketed, what's going on?" Langya Pavilion's last promotion, didn't it fail, and no one booked it?"
Last time.
He asked Yang Yin, the head of the Yang family, to act with him.
originally planned to make the sedan chair popular in Chang'an City in a way that was famous for its popularity.
But Huo Guang didn't expect it.
I thought too well about the market prospect of the sedan chair.
With the carriage available, not many powerful and wealthy businessmen were willing to buy the sedan chair.
If you want to buy a carriage, you just need to build a horse.
To get a sedan chair, you have to be carried by four people!
Can't even sit three people in a sedan chair?
It's troublesome, but it's also troublesome!
Although Huo Guang is reluctant to admit it, this marketing plan is indeed a failure.
No way.
As a traverser, Huo Guang is not a god, how can he succeed in everything.
The business of the sedan chair, the magnates of Chang'an City did not buy it, and Huo Guang could only be invalidated. He didn't plan to make any money in this area, but when he looked at the ledger today, he found that the income from the carpenter's shop had risen rapidly in an outrageous way!
And!
Is it just these two days?
This made Huo Guang feel strange, so he went to check the reason and found that it was the order for the sedan chair, which had skyrocketed in the past two days.
That's weird.
The business that had obviously been given up by Huo Guang suddenly came back to life.
When the hotel shopkeeper heard Huo Guang's question, he immediately said, "Childe, don't you know? There are no carriages in Chang'an City now, and those powerful people don't want to walk with their feet, so they can only pay to order a sedan chair from us!"
Don't take a carriage in Chang'an City?
Isn't this nonsense!
I came by myself, or by carriage.
Thinking of this, Huo Guang glared at him and scolded, "San'er, how did you kid learn to spread rumors? My son is the one who hates making things up the most, so don't upset me."
After hearing this, he hurriedly explained, "Childe, don't believe it, this is true, listen to me."
"Not two days ago, Jiang Chong, the confessor of His Majesty's seal, came back from Mobei!"
"After being summoned by His Majesty, I don't know what I said, but as soon as I was happy, I worshipped as an embroidered messenger. Not only does he supervise the arrest of thieves in Sanfu's territory, but he also serves as a supervisor of whether the magnates have exceeded the court's etiquette!"
"Then this Jiang Chong set a rule, in Chang'an City, no carriages are allowed to drive."
"If there is a violator, the carriage will be confiscated, and the people will be arrested and sent to the northern military camp to stand by to fight against the Huns!"
As soon as he heard this, Huo Guang was speechless.
This Jiang Chong?
So bold? He thought that who he was, an embroidered messenger, dared to set up rules in Chang'an City.
Forthwith.
Huo Guang asked unhappily, "In Chang'an City, there are so many arrogant and arrogant nobles and close ministers, can they endure him Jiang Chong?"
When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, Childe, don't you know about a major event that happened yesterday?"
"Huh?
Event? What's the big deal?" Huo Guang looked confused, and he really didn't know what was going on in Chang'an City.
So Busan hurriedly said, "Just yesterday, Princess Tao Chang was walking in a car on the gallop road and was bumped into by Jiang Chong. Ren Jiang Chong directly led people to drive Princess Guantao off the carriage, the horse was confiscated, and all the entourage was arrested and sent to the northern military camp!"
Princess Guantao?
I rub!
Has this Jiang Chong reached this level?
Even Princess Guantao dares to offend!
Hearing this, Huo Guang immediately frowned and asked, "This Jiang Chong is a bit outrageous, so recklessly His Majesty actually didn't punish him?" Aren't you afraid of being?"
What Huo Guangli meant was that others were doing him behind his back.
However.
After hearing it, it became a sue against him.
Thereupon.
Busan immediately said, "Sue, those powerful people who were offended by him, including Princess Guantao, all impeached Jiang Chong to the imperial court. And after His Majesty learned about this, not only did he not punish him, but he also praised Jiang Chong for being loyal and upright!"
"Huh?" The corners of Huo Guang's mouth couldn't help twitching, thinking to himself what kind of family this is called loyalty.
Like the former big farmer Ling Yanyi, he cares about the people of Li and dares to fight with His Majesty on the basis of reason, that is called loyalty!
Jiang Chong?
Hehe.
It's just a villain.
Huo Guang shook his head, didn't think about these things, and said, "Regardless of him, as long as he doesn't provoke me. Eh, doesn't he care about our sedan chair?"
Bu San hurriedly said, "The sedan chair is carried by people, and if you don't go to the road, he can't control that Jiang Chong!"
"Oh..."
Huo Guang nodded, he didn't expect this Jiang Chong to do anything wrong in Chang'an City, but he opened up a way for his sedan chair business.
So!
He Huo Guangbai picked up a ready-made bargain?
I was thinking about these things in my heart, and suddenly, a person hurriedly ran in and said, "It's not good, it's not good, Huo Gongzi!"
"Our caravan was detained by the embroidered messenger Jiang Chong."
"Not only will the carriage be confiscated, but the guards and merchants accompanying the convoy will all be arrested, and I am afraid that if it is a little later, they will be sent to the northern military camp."
Huo Guang was stunned for a moment and said, "Caravan, what caravan?"
"Oh~"
"You say the caravan I sent to the Western Regions to buy brimstone has returned? I'll rub it, Jiang Chong, this dog thing, dare to detain my caravan!"
"San'er, call the Venerable Master, let's go find him!"
The voice fell.
Huo Guang was so angry that he was about to rush out, and then collided with Wei Yan who ran to the inner room of the restaurant.
The two of them covered their heads in great pain.
"Hey, Wei Yan, if you kid weren't my old watch, I really wanted to beat you!" Huo Guang covered his head and rubbed it.
Wei Yan did the same thing, rubbing his head.
But.
At this moment, he said to Huo Guang, "Old Watch, look, there is a black guy!"
"I haven't seen it yet, why are you making such a fuss!" Huo Guang couldn't help but scold, and then walked out with someone.
He didn't have time to talk to Huo Guang.
The caravan was messed up by Jiang Chong, and he wanted to make trouble.
But after walking a few steps outside, I suddenly found a team of slaves and maids who were naked, wearing sheepskin shorts, curly hair, and black all over.
In a flash.
He knew what this kid Wei meant by the black guy.
Boy!
Isn't this unique to the Tang Dynasty, why did the Han Dynasty run over!
Huo Guang couldn't believe it, and immediately asked, "Who got these black guys?"
Thereupon.
A bloodied guard was carried over by the black men and said, "Huo Jialang, this is a caravan on the Western Regions, and a merchant who claims to be from the South Seas sold it to us."
Only then did Huo Guang see the person who was carried over.
Is that
How did the guards he found for the caravan get injured like this?
Huo Guang didn't have time to care about these black guys, and asked the caravan guard, "Why are you injured like this, why, did you encounter robbers before entering the city?"
"No, Huo Jialang, it was the caravan that was blocked by some kind of embroidered messenger after entering the city, and wanted to confiscate the horses and goods of our caravan. When the leader of the caravan saw that the other party was from the court, he asked me to inform you first."
"But I didn't expect that when the embroidered messenger saw me leaving, he drew his sword and slashed at me."
"If it weren't for the fast running of these black guys bought from the Western Regions, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back."
After hearing this, Huo Guang immediately gritted his teeth, looking like he was about to be angry.
There is no doubt that the guy who calls himself the messenger of embroidered clothes can only be Jiang Chong, the villain.
In Chang'an City, he is the only one who is so high-flying.
Thereupon.
Huo Guang didn't think about it, so he took someone to look for it, and before leaving, he said to the people in the Le Restaurant: "Find someone who is too often to treat Liu Huwei's injuries, and also, give these black guys some clothes to wear." br>
The words fell.
He went to find Jiang Chong, the messenger of embroidered clothes.
When Huo Guang found Jiang Chong, the embroidered messenger, this guy was holding sulfur and forced the people in his caravan to ask what this thing was!
Huo Guang immediately roared and said, "Jiang Chong, you don't know what this thing is?"
"If you don't know, then ask me!"
"I tell you, it's called brimstone."
"Okay, now it's time for Ben to ask you!"
"Who gave you the power to hijack Ben Lang's caravan in broad daylight?"
Heard what Jiang Chong said.
Jiang Chong, the embroidered messenger, turned his head and glanced at the person who came, and when he saw that the leader was Huo Guanghou, he was not only not afraid at all, but smiled contemptuously: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Huo Yilang?"
"You just said this is your caravan?"
"That'll be easy."
"Someone, arrest Huo Yilang and send him to the Northern Military Camp to standby."
Jiang Chong's words fell, and the officials of the court behind him rushed out to arrest Huo Guang.
But in an instant.
And they did not dare to move.
Why?
Because these officials of the court found that a group of people wearing flying fish suits surrounded them.
That's right!
It was the rangers of the Jinyi Organization who killed it.
The two leaders were Fei Crab and Zhao Ji, both of whom were holding big knives, and shouted with hideous expressions, "Who dare to move? If you move, Lao Tzu will dismantle him into eight pieces, and then Lao Tzu will run for his life directly, I see if you dare to fight with our rangers!"
Han law inherits the law of the Qin Dynasty!
Although the laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, there were lessons from the past, so the laws of the Han Dynasty were much more relaxed.
Most of the officials just eat together, and they get so much money a month.
Who wants to really go for it?
The rangers are different.
They really dare to kill people, which has already been seen by everyone on the Chang'an side in Guo Jie's case.
Usually with "righteousness", when killing, it is only based on will.
Huo Guang took advantage of this, not only providing them with good food and drink, but also taking out a large amount of money for them every month as a salary, looking generous.
This is exactly when they are needed.
Huo Guang said hello, and these rangers who volunteered to join the "brocade" came one after another.
At this time, Huo Guang's eyes gradually became colder.
Looking at the guy who was still arrogant just now, Huo Guang said lightly, "I said Jiang Chong, the messenger of embroidered clothes, you are so capable? Arrest me and send me to the Northern Barracks?"
"You don't know!"
"Is my brother, the Hussar General, in charge of the Northern Barracks?"
"You sent me there, useful?"
As he spoke, Huo Guang walked straight to Jiang Chong, the embroidered messenger
In front of him, with a mocking expression on his face, he looked directly at him.
This guy.
Domineering in Chang'an City?
Others are afraid of him, but Huo Guang is not afraid of him.
Now.
Jiang Chong also stared at Huo Guang with vicious eyes, and said, "Huo Yilang, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can move the things of your caravan, but there is one point, you can't use a carriage to carry it, you can only use your hands."
Only with both hands?
Hehe!
Huo Guang shook his head disdainfully and said, "Then I prefer to use a carriage? Jiang Chong, you have the ability, can you stop it? Look at me, the ranger brothers, will they dismantle you!"
The words fell.
Huo Guang waved his hand and motioned to the members of his caravan to use the carriage to transport the sulfur and other things back.
When Jiang Chong saw the caravan moving, he immediately shouted, "Huo Guang, you dare to use a carriage to drive around the city? If you dare to move, I will have the right to arrest you!"
"Arrest me?" Huo Guang suddenly smiled, walked to Jiang Chong's side, raised his hands directly, and said, "Come, you come and arrest me, Ben Yilang is in front of you." If you touch me, these Ranger brothers of mine will dismantle you, can you try?"
However.
Jiang Chong didn't dare to move at the moment.
Although he acted recklessly, he also relied on himself to make a small report to the emperor.
The rangers of the Han Dynasty could become outlaws at any time.
No matter how horizontal Jiang Chong is, he is also afraid of these deadly guys.
Thereupon.
When Huo Guang's caravan was gone, Jiang Chong was still frozen in place and didn't dare to move Huo Guang.
This made Huo Guang look down on him even more.
If at the moment.
Standing in front of him was the former farmer Ling Yanyi, or the imperial historian Zhang Tang, these two people dared to pick themselves up directly without any surprise.
But unfortunately not.
Jiang Chong?
A despicable villain, how can he have so much courage.
Huo Guang saw that his embroidered messenger didn't dare to move, so he raised his hand and gently patted Jiang Chong's face, and mocked, "What did you just say, arrest me? Heh, Jiang Chong, I'll give you a chance, you're useless!"
After a mockery.
Huo Guang was about to leave with the rangers.
And at the moment.
Jiang Chong, who seemed to feel that he had lost face, immediately pointed at Huo Guang's back, and roared viciously with his eyes: "Huo Guang, if you let the carriage drive on the galloping road, it is an arrogance to the court's etiquette and disrespect to Your Majesty. This envoy will definitely impeach you at the court meeting when the time comes!"
Impeaching oneself?
Scold!
Huo Guang directly ignored it.
Will you be impeached?
I, Huo Guang, won't be impeached? Hmph, when the time comes, see who Your Majesty believes!
Regardless of Jiang Chong, who was incompetent and roaring behind him, Huo Guang followed the caravan directly and returned to this room with the rangers in brocade.
Then.
He shouted to the rangers: "All of you Jinyi, today, you all come here to have a drink, I Huo Guang treats you, and you won't return if you don't get drunk!"
The words fell.
Those good drinkers immediately shouted with joy: "Huo Yilang is magnificent!"
After welcoming these rangers into this room.
Huo Guang hurriedly asked the leader of the caravan, "By the way, Team Leader Zhao, where did you get these black guys?" Over there in the Western Regions, a slave like this, how, oh, and is it expensive?"
The leader of the caravan was called Zhao Gan, and when he heard Huo Guang's words, he hurriedly replied, "Childe, the black guy is in the Western Regions, and I met a dealer and bought it from him."
"Because the food in the Western Regions is more expensive, and the black guys eat more."
"They were in a hurry to sell, so they sold it to us cheaply."
"Oh, yes."
"I've heard them say that these black guys are good at their work, but they don't have bright brains."
"It seems to mean that there are many, many more southwest places than the countries of the Western Regions, and it is said that there are tens of millions! On some islands
, you can lure it out with some food!"
