Chapter 2 13 Honest Youth
Time flies by, more than a month passes in the blink of an eye, and it enters the middle of October.
It's getting colder, but it's okay, there's no snow yet, and it's much better than last year.
For Han Dazhi's case, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are still investigating, but unfortunately with little success, during which many people came to Erzhuzizhuang to investigate, because there are very few people who know, so nothing has been found.
The wanted warrant is still there, but it is limited to the four counties of Jingzhao, Hongnong, Feng Yi, and Beidi, and there is not much movement in other places.
Zhai Changping and his gang have come back and reported Han Dazhi's situation, saying that he is very good, integrated into Liangzhou as soon as possible, and mixed well with Zhai Changping's friends, which makes Li Wuchang very pleased.
Li Wuchang went to Chang'an City once, the Han family was really ruthless, and there was no action to find Han Dazhi at all, as if Han Dazhi did not exist, Li Wuchang then somewhat understood why Han Dazhi ran away so resolutely, which made Li Wuchang very emotional, if he was wronged and ran away, I don't know what the Li family's reaction would be.
Chang'an City is still very lively, after Dongshi lost the duo of "Han Dasha" and "Li Erdu", it has not lost its former glory, and there are others to fill it, and the most important thing in Chang'an City is the second ancestor who likes to mess around.
Li Wuchang stayed in Chang'an City a little unnaturally, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, and after returning to Feng Yi, he felt that everything was back to normal, which was really strange.
......
The weather is good, and there are many pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on the official road.
Suddenly, a huge contingent came.
A carriage and a few handsome men and women on horseback, followed by a large retinue.
"It's a remote place, but it's a lot of people. A young girl asked.
"There weren't so many people when I came last time, so it seems that they all went to Erzhuozizhuang. A young man laughed.
"Heh, you say, that Li Erzi can really be tricky, and he named Zhuangzi a second stunned village, it's really enough. The other girl laughed.
"The old man thinks that this name is very tasteful. An old man laughed and said that he was very old and in good spirits, and he was not luxurious in a azure robe, but he didn't look like an ordinary person, and he didn't sit in a good carriage, but he had to sit in the seat of the chariot with the coachman, and his eyes looked around.
"What the old man said is very true!" said the other young man with great respect for the old man.
If there are people from Chang'an City here, they will definitely be able to recognize the identity of this group of people.
The three beauties are Guo Yunling, Lu Ting and Lin Qin of Chang'an Sanmei.
The two youths are Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong.
And the old man is the style of the imperial historian Tang Zhifeng.
When the new poems were published in Dongli Restaurant, several people got together once, and when they talked about the lack of Li Wuchang and Han Dazhi in Chang'an City, they felt a little less flavorful, so everyone made an appointment to go to Erzhuzizhuang to surprise Li Wuchang.
At that time, Tang Zhifeng, the imperial historian, was also enjoying the freshly baked masterpieces in the East Fence Restaurant, and Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong, as minority shareholders, came forward to receive them in person, so Tang Zhifeng also made a lot of fun, saying that he would follow the young man to Feng Yi to play.
Tang Zhifeng is arrogant, he is not pedantic, he can talk to young people, he is very optimistic about Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong, and he also likes the three little girls.
So, it's been very harmonious along the way.
"Hey, it's at the entrance. "Zhou Chengwang has been here once, so he has an impression.
"Look, hahahaha. Guo Yunling pointed to a huge sign and laughed.
When everyone saw it, they all laughed.
It turned out that the wooden sign had a line of words written on it, "Welcome to Erduzi Village!".
"This road looks good, it feels wider and smoother than the official road. After laughing, Tang Zhifeng observed the road leading to Erzhuzizhuang.
The two sides of the road are made of large stones, the pavement is made of gravel, and the top is paved with a layer of coarse sand, which looks very strong and durable.
"It didn't look so flat last time, but it seems that impermanence has been carefully repaired again. Zhou Chengwang muttered.
"Oh?" Tang Zhifeng raised an eyebrow.
There were many people on the road, Tang Zhifeng got out of the carriage, pulled a young man casually, and asked, "Little brother, are you from Erzizhuang?"
The young lads were also a team, five or six of them, quite young, and all of them seemed to be very energetic.
"Hello old man, we are all from Erzizhuang, what are your instructions?" The young man saw that Tang Zhifeng and his gang had an extraordinary temperament, and he didn't dare to slack off.
"The old man asks you, are the roads in your area so good?" Tang Zhifeng asked.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "How can it be, in the southwest area of Feng Yi, this road of our Zhuangzi is the best, and the roads of other Zhuangzi are very difficult to walk, with potholes, shrubs and piles of rubbles everywhere, our Zhuangzi used to be like that, and since our owner came to organize people to repair it." β
"Why did you Zhuang master build a road leading to Zhuangzi so well? Tang Zhifeng continued to ask.
Zhou Chengwang and others also dismounted and walked, and everyone talked while walking, looking quite leisurely.
"Old man, you don't know this, our owner said, want to get rich first build the road, a Zhuangzi road also represents the faΓ§ade of the Zhuangzi, so you must not be sloppy, on this road, our owner first sent someone to repair the level, pouring grout reinforcement, and then someone specially transported the sand to pave a layer of fine layer, whether it is running a horse or walking is particularly good, how can the official road be compared with our Zhuangzi's road. The young man spoke eloquently, looking quite proud.
"If you want to get rich, build a road first, your owner has some knowledge!" Tang Zhifeng said.
"That is, our owner is a rich man. The other lads were patting their chests.
It seems that he worships Li Wuchang very much.
Zhou Chengwang and the others shook their heads and snickered, they couldn't imagine that Li Wuchang, who had a bad reputation in Chang'an City, would become an idol here.
"Brothers and sisters, what are you laughing at? We are not bragging at all, if you have seen our owner...... By the way, old man, are you going to our Zhuangzi to do business?" said the young man.
Tang Zhifeng said with a smile: "The old man heard that your Zhuangzi has a very good reputation, so I want to visit, what are you young men doing? β
The young man sighed, and then replied, "We have gone to Hongnong County to do market research on the orders of Brother Xun to see what business can be done." β
"Brother Sun?" Lu Ting was stunned.
"Brother Xun and Brother Jiang are the right-hand men of our villager, they are both first-class talents, and their prestige in our village is very high. The young man introduced.
Zhou Chengwang and the others knew that the young man should be talking about Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun.
"What is market research?" Tang Zhifeng was quite curious.
"Market research is to see the supply and demand of various local goods and price trends, we do half a month's record to take back to the owner, he will hold a meeting, let the people of the owner's house carefully analyze, and then come up with a set of business plans, slowly establish a business road, before our Zhuangzi people have been to the north, to Jingzhao, to Chang'an City, but also to Shuofang, have opened up a business road, there is business to do, now those places on the Zhuangzi people are rushing to go, especially Shuofang, run a trip can earn a lot of silver. The young man explained.
Tang Zhifeng nodded, feeling that Li Wuchang was very good at doing business.
Guo Yunling asked, "Can you Zhuangzi still do business with Chang'an City?"
They actually all know about this matter, because Zhou Chengwang is the spokesperson of Chang'an City, Guo Yunling asked this to see what Er Zhuangzhuang thinks of Chang'an City.
The young man patted his chest and said, "Our owner said that the money in Chang'an City is the best to make, because most of the people there are stupid people with a lot of money, and they can make money by selling anything." β
"Haha......"
When everyone heard the words "people are stupid and have a lot of money", they couldn't help it anymore, and they all laughed, even Tang Zhifeng.
When the young man saw that everyone was laughing, he thought that he had said the wrong thing, and he was a little embarrassed.
Zheng Wenlong waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, we are not laughing at you, you continue...... Do you know who is in charge of business in Chang'an City?"
The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course I know, it is a son-in-law named Zhou Chengwang, although I have never met him, but I have heard people in Zhuangzi mention it, saying that he is a very good and enthusiastic son-in-law, and he is very good at doing business." β
Zhou Chengwang smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Wenlong, quite proud, and said in his heart, I, Zhou, am also a good material for business.
The young man changed his words and continued: "That Zhou Gongzi is a good friend of our owner, and our owner has a good evaluation of Zhou Gongzi, once he nodded silently with the bill, and said: Although this Zhou Chengwang is a little honest and his brain is not very good, he still listens to the command, and he is still good." β
Zheng Wenlong and the others laughed when they heard this.
The young man muttered, "Am I saying something wrong again?"
Zheng Wenlong said seriously: "No, no, I also know that Zhou Chengwang, he is indeed very honest, and his brain really can't turn." β
Zhou Chengwang couldn't cry or laugh, and held back a sentence for a long time: "This is also a good evaluation?"
The young man said: "Eh, this son, you don't know something, our owner said that a person is honest and that is to praise him, but the brain will not turn is indeed not a good word, our owner tried to educate us that our brains must be able to turn." β
Zhou Chengwang was crying in his heart.
Honest?
The brain doesn't turn?
Okay, you Li Wuchang, you wait for me.
At this time, there were more people, men, women and children.
"Little brother, are these all the people from your Zhuangzi, quite a lot!" Tang Zhifeng looked at the pedestrians and asked.
The young man took a look at it and said, "There are a lot of people in our Zhuangzi, but there are also a lot of people from outside our Zhuangzi, who usually go to the Zhuangzi to catch the market or work, and some are to deliver goods." β
Tang Zhifeng nodded.
The young man continued: "Old man, you see that those who carry things are all delivered, usually medicinal herbs or game, those sturdy uncles or big brothers are all going to work, and there are also those old people and women and children, who usually go to the market to buy some daily necessities. β
Lin Qin was surprised: "Didn't you say that it was very poor?
The young man said: "It used to be really poor, but now it's different, now our Zhuangzi has become the center of this area, according to the words of our owner, it is an important commercial town, and many businessmen come here to do business. β
After the young man said that, everyone was interested, and they wanted to hurry up and go to Zhuangzi to have a look.
After a while, it finally arrived.
