As Hu Biao and others had predicted before they acted.

For Chang'an City, which has a population of more than one million, in one night, after suddenly dying a hundred and ten cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

Except for the common people, they were secretly happy for a while.

And when they chatted on weekdays, they suddenly had a lot of talking points in their mouths, and they didn't cause any big turmoil.

Even those who had the right to patrol the city and report it didn't seem to have the slightest interest in reporting this matter.

So as to impeach the two counties of Wannian and Chang'an, the two county commanders who are holding official positions in the fifth grade.

The reason is very simple, in the eyes of these royal historians who patrol the city, this kind of snake, insect and rat ant like splashing skin and helplessness, can it still be regarded as a person?

It's just that there are too many deaths, as long as it's not a royal relative, or a scholar.

The royal historians who patrol the city will not pay attention to it at all.

However, there was no big turmoil, referring to everything on the bright side; In fact, in private, a lot of things have happened.

There are some things that Hu Biao and the others had predicted long before they acted.

For example, on the second night of the start, several Fa Cao and Bing Cao from Chang'an County and Wannian County came to the door at night to find Hu Biao.

After he spoke, the words were actually quite polite.

After questioning Hu Biao a little, he took out evidence of the time of the crime on the night of the operation.

The officials of these county officials politely said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he didn't shake off any cruel words at all.

On the contrary, he declared one point with great righteousness: the servants in Hu Xiao's family and the industries they opened have solved the livelihood difficulties of many people under their rule, and the payment of commercial taxes has never been delayed.

(Note: The Tang Dynasty forbade officials and their families to do business, and Hu Biao used the names of the descendants of the Anxi Army to open various industries)

Therefore, it is completely Chang'an and Wannian counties, and it is a place of key support and attention.

In the future, if there is any trouble, as long as you talk to them, you will definitely help Hu Xiao Lieutenant, no! It should be to solve problems for the servants of the Hu Mansion.

It was also since this time that these little officials came to visit, and the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods who originally came to the door every day to ask for benefits suddenly became extinct.

There are no workers under his command who are beaten.

Obviously, these officials may not have a high position, but their eyesight is quite good.

Once he knew that he had encountered some ruthless people that he couldn't provoke, he immediately took the initiative to admit it and stopped all follow-up measures.

By the way, he took the initiative to come to the door and expressed his personal goodwill to Hu Biao and others.

Sure enough, since ancient times, the people of this nation who are qualified to fight in the public gate are all the best of the best of the people, and they can afford to take it and put it down.

Seeing that this was the case, Hu Biao and the others naturally had no intention of continuing to entangle.

On the contrary, he promised in his mouth: everyone in Wannian and Chang'an counties is worried about the lives of the people in the territory, which is really hard.

I am willing to sponsor 200 yuan a month, and I hope to make your meals have more oil and meat.

Saying! Things have come to this point in a round and round, and in the end it still ends in the way of giving money.

But the result of showing some muscles first and then giving money is completely different from giving money in the bottomless pit of being squeezed before.

Anyway, when those little officials walked out of their dwellings.

For a while, the relationship between the two sides seems to be intimate.

At this point, the first crisis that Hu Biao and they faced in Chang'an City was perfectly solved under the sacrifice of the lives of one hundred and ten cow ghosts, snakes, and gods.

And from Qinghe Cui's family, such a bigger crisis.

It seems that the other party is only under monitoring at the moment, and they don't look at the industries they are carrying out at all, and they don't think there is any threat to them.

So much so that now, there is no intention of doing it.

In response to such a result, Hu Biao and the others are naturally happy.

pretending to be ignorant of what was being watched; Privately, they are speeding up and trying to develop their own content.

What Hu Biao and others didn't expect was that their action that night actually had some unexpected gains......

******

Time flies quickly, and in the busy work of everyone, unconsciously another ten days have passed, and it is already the end of March of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty.

"Rickshaw, come here~"

In front of a coachman wearing a sleeveless gown, a pair of tight pants in the style of a beard, and a white handkerchief around his neck, slowly wandering down the street.

Li Deyu, who was dressed as an ordinary scholar, waved his hand and shouted out a sentence in his mouth.

The voice fell, and the twenty-three-four-year-old driver just dragged the rickshaw and ran over.

After putting down the handlebar in his hand, he first took the handkerchief around his neck and quickly slapped it a few times on the seat of the car that was made of leather, but which looked beautiful.

After patting off the dust on it, he greeted Li Deyu affectionately: "This Langjun, please sit down, I don't know where you plan to go?" ”

"How much does it cost to go to Anningfang." Li Deyu replied casually.

Faced with such a problem, the coachman, who approached and found that although his skin was dark, he was quite clean, and his mouth immediately explained:

"Dare to let Lang Jun know that our kind of rickshaw, no matter how far or near the distance, will cost two pennies to get on the bus.

However, if the distance is less than two miles, there is no need to add money; If you are two miles away, you will have to add an extra penny to the fare for each mile you exceed.

For the time being, I won't take on work outside the city.

Go to Anningfang from here, it should be about three and a half miles, how do you see the three pennies of Langjun? ”

Li Deyu asked a question of 'how much does it cost' in his mouth before.

I just want to know that this kind of rickshaw has just appeared on the streets of Chang'an in the past five or six days, and the business is quite hot, and the specific charging standard is just a specific standard.

It's not that he, Li Deyu, is really short of such a small amount of money.

After listening to the other party's explanation, he sat directly on the soft cushion and said a sentence in his mouth: "Go~"

"Lang Jun, sit down, let's leave immediately." As he spoke, the coachman grabbed the handlebars and began to trot all the way.

It was also at such a time that Li Deyu saw that behind the coachman's sleeveless gown, there were actually a few conspicuous big characters printed: Sitong Traffic.

To Li Deyu's surprise, this kind of rickshaw with iron sheets wrapped in wheels is a little.

After being pulled by the coachman and starting to gallop at the speed of a war horse's trot, it was actually more stable and comfortable than his family's good carriage.

And the warm spring breeze blows on the body, and the pedestrians, shops, etc. around you can be seen clearly.

In terms of the whole experience, it is called a pretty good one.

The only problem is that thinking of the problem he is currently struggling with in his heart, Li Deyu's mood immediately became bad again.

Because at present, in front of his eyes, he is facing a major life choice:

Do you want to accept the invitation of Zheng Wei, the envoy of the eastern Zhejiang Festival, to go to him to serve in the shogunate and take up such a position?

The shogunate was engaged in this position, which was naturally not an important official position; However, the other party promised that after a year or two at most, he would be promoted to the position of secretary of the festival.

Next, relying on such a qualification and family background, as long as he is transferred back to Chang'an City in the future, it will be quite easy to be promoted all the way.

To use an adjective from the modern plane, it is in the fast lane.

It's just that Li Deyu clearly knows that choosing the above path is the best choice for his official career.

It's just that Li Deyu clearly knows that choosing the above path is the best choice for his official career.

But in his heart, there was a devilish voice that kept telling him loudly: stay, stay in Chang'an, cooperate with the remnants of Hu Biao's Anxi generals, and work together to create a different career.

So for a while, under the interweaving of two choices related to his career and future.

made him feel worse and worse in the indecision.

And today he went to Anningfang, but after hesitating for several days, he hoped that by going to the field to take a look, he would make up his mind one final decision......

After exhaling a heavy breath in his mouth, Li Deyu temporarily suppressed the irritability in his heart.

Facing the driver pulling the car in front of him, he began to chatter and said: "I don't know what this driver's brother is called, whether the business of this rickshaw is hard or not, and what is the income?" ”

The coachman was not only in good health, but also a talkative man.

While trotting up, thinking in his heart that the guests in the car would never become his competitors, he replied with a smile:

"Lang Jun is polite, just call the villain Zhao Dayan.

This pulls guests around Chang'an City every day, exposed to the sun and rain, if it is not hard, it is false.

Since seven or eight days ago, after the villain joined the 'four-way car line', the soles of the new shoes under his feet have worn off a thick layer, and the toes of his feet have been exposed.

Fortunately, this rickshaw is really convenient for pedestrians, and now it has a good business in Chang'an City.

After surviving after a busy day, after paying the rental rickshaw fee and the management fee, there is still forty or fifty yuan left every day.

Don't be afraid of your jokes, this money will take several days for the villain to earn before.

Since I started pulling carts, my family of six has had enough to eat; And I plan to save another half a month's money, so that I can add a new dress to my mother-in-law and the dolls.

So tired is a little tired, but the villain is also energetic in his heart. ”

Listening to the coachman in front of him, with a voice of joy from the bottom of his heart, said the above paragraph, Li Deyu fell into silence again.

Saying! Li Deyu has not gone out in Fuzhong for a period of time.

However, after letting the servants at home deliberately inquire, the situation of Hu Biao and other remnants of the Anxi Army was quite clear.

Whether it is honeycomb coal and stoves, or 'convenient small dining table', Deyue Building, Jingwu Hall, Fat Xilai Supermarket, No. 88 Medical Hall, Sitong Car Dealer and other businesses.

Generally, on the second day of opening, Li Deyu got the news.

I even bought a stove and honeycomb coal to try it out, and got an evaluation that is not as elegant as a charcoal stove, but cheap and practical, and it is definitely a good thing for ordinary people.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that a puzzled question arises in his heart.

In the education that Li Deyu received since he was a child, he decided that there is a lot of money in the world, and if one party takes advantage, then the other party will suffer.

It's just that in Hu Biao and others, this is not the case at all.

Just like the coachman named Zhao Dayan in front of him, the industry started by Hu Biao and others has given men and even women who were originally living a difficult life a decent job.

With the income from such a job, the life of the whole family has become better, and it can be regarded as a beneficiary who has received great benefits.

Due to the popularity of the small table business, large-scale purchases are made every day.

It is said that the dolphins, chickens, ducks, and chickens raised by farmers outside the city, as well as various vegetables grown in the fields, can often be sold as long as they are picked there, and the prices are good.

These people can also be regarded as profiteers.

At the same time, those customers who buy honeycomb coal and stoves, as well as eat at the 'convenient little table', spend less money than usual, but get better enjoyment and better food.

Calculated from such an angle, it can also be said to be a profiteer.

In addition, when he asked someone to go to Chang'an and Wannian counties to inquire, all the properties owned by Hu Biao and others needed to pay a commercial tax, but they did not do anything or be in arrears.

So far, three hundred and twenty commercial taxes have been paid; In this way, the imperial court and the government can also be regarded as the beneficiary.

And if the industry of Hu Biao and others is allowed to continue to develop.

After it spreads throughout Chang'an City, how many people will benefit from it?

For a while, except for those and scoundrels in the city who had absolutely died in the hands of these people despite having no evidence, everyone seemed to be winners.

But the key question is, just by relying on the losses of 100 pranksters, can so many people benefit?

In view of this, Li Deyu believes that it is absolutely impossible; But the strange result is extremely real in front of his eyes.

It had a huge impact on the education he received since he was a child.

This is also the main reason why he doesn't want to go to Zhedong Jiedu to serve as an envoy.

Because he not only wants to find out what truth is hidden in this; I also vaguely felt in my heart that Hu Biao and others were afraid that they could bring some amazing changes to this lifeless Datang.

Based on this feeling, he wanted to join it.

It's just that because the stakes are too big, he can't make up his mind after hesitating for many days......

After spending a quarter of an hour, the rickshaw stopped at the entrance of Changdongfang, a branch of the 'convenient small table' and the third branch in Chang'an City.

Not to mention the bounty, he gave a total of five cents.

Zhao Dayan, a coachman, thanked him for his kindness.

In Li Deyu's situation, he naturally passed the inspection at the door easily; The process of holding the money and exchanging those meal tickets for the general iron brand is also a little calm.

It's a pity that such a calm from the noble son of the Li family in Zhao County quickly broke the defense.

"Give me a braised pork, a button pork, and a tamale, that's right! Eight treasure duck meat, lion's head, braised fish pieces, and bracken are also served.

For the main food, bring me a bowl of knife-cut noodles, the kind of mutton dumplings. ”

I stood in front of the 'small table of noodles', a first-class counter for cooking.

Li Deyu is like a modern plane who enters the supermarket for the first time and has some money in hand, and he can't care about his desire to consume.

Stretching out his finger, he pointed at the many dishes in front of him, and it was a burst of flying lights.

In the midst of such a voice, a woman with a spoon in her hand, without shaking at all, got busy and filled a small bowl with a capacity of about three taels and spiked it.

Soon after, a large pile of various meat dishes was piled up on a wooden plate in Li Deyu's hand.

No way! As a core member of the Li family of Zhao County, Li Deyu naturally will not lack a bite to eat since he was a child, and all kinds of wine and meat can naturally be satisfied as long as he opens his mouth.

It's just that the iron pot is used in this way, cane sugar is added, and innovative braised cooking methods are used to process a new color and flavor.

makes Li Deyu, a wealthy son, a little irresistible.

In particular, standing in front of fifty or sixty kinds of different foods, steaming and temptingly fragrant; It is Li Deyu, a noble son who is not short of meat to eat, and he still can't control his inner impulses.

About two quarters of an hour later, Li Deyu put down the soup bowl in his hand.

Look at the empty plates and bowls in front of you; While loosening his belt, he also made a decision that had been bothering him for a long time:

I didn't go to the west of Zhejiang, and I acted as a shogunate.

It's about relying on relationships and finding a way to become a member of the Anxi Army that only exists literally in the Tang Dynasty and doesn't know when it will really be rebuilt.

But before that, he needs to talk to Hu Biao in person.

With this in mind, he began to organize his appearance, and after making sure that everything was correct, he took out a beautiful prayer note from his hand.

It was just after he stood up that a familiar figure stood up on the left-hand side.

After seeing that familiar figure, Li Deyu instinctively felt that something was wrong, because this person was called Niu Monk and Ru......
