At the end of February of the eighth year of Zhengtong of Zhou, the emperor was given the Yuan Dynasty and the general amnesty was changed to Gan Xing. Gan was one of the Eight Trigrams, referring to the heaven and men. The so-called Gan Xing was the best for the Zhou Kingdom, which regained most of the rivers and mountains.『 ．

At the same time, the Zhou court mobilized manpower and material resources to build an imperial palace in Luoyang. The news from various channels was that when the palace was completed, the Zhou State moved its capital to Luoyang.

After more than fifty years, Luoyang is about to become the capital of a country again.

In the third year of Yongxi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu broke up with Quan Xiang Gao Huan, and led all civil and military officials to leave the capital of Luoyang, fled to Guanzhong to surrender to Yuwen Tai, Gao Huan established another emperor, and later moved the capital to Yecheng. Luoyang lost its capital status and became the front line of confrontation between the East and West Wei.

The confrontation between the East and West Wei evolved into a confrontation between the Chengzhou and Qi. The Luozhou area became a battlefield. The palaces in Luoyang City turned into ruins. Later, Emperor Wu of Zhou set up six prefectures in the capital of Qi, and later moved to Luoyang, Tokyo.

Emperor Xuan issued an edict to establish the Luozhou General Administration Office and build Tokyo. The Heyang Youxiang Yu Boqing Xu Qizhou General Administration on the former land of Qi State were all under the jurisdiction of the six Tokyo prefectures, and Luoyang's status became increasingly important.

Later, after the fierce battle between the Zhou and Sui countries, Luoyang was also a key place for the two sides to compete for. Now that the war has subsided, Luoyang will soon become the capital again, and the people all say that peace is coming.

In Xiyang City, a mansion is very lively, with many wooden boxes placed in the yard. Duke of Tang Li Yuan supervised the servants to pack books.

I held a list in my hand, with many words written on it. This is a list that records the books to be shipped.

There were more than a dozen wooden boxes, all of which were kept by books that had just been sent from the bookstore. After Li Yuan had to pass it one by one, he entrusted the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce to send it to Guanzhong.

He came from Chang'an, Guanzhong to Huangzhou, Shannan. The family lived in Xiyang for more than half a year. He was like a house arrest and had nothing to do, but Xiyang City was different from other places. There were many books and a provincial school library that was open to the public, which gave Li Yuan a good place to go.

It has become a habit to go to the library every day. Although there are some differences between high and low there, Li Yuan doesn't care. Although he is a Duke, he is like a bird in a cage, so there is no need to show off the scene.

It felt really good in casual clothes and many students in the reading room. It seemed like I had become a teenager again and was studying in a school where I studied Chinese studies in the countryside.

Huangzhou Zhouxue Library has a rich collection of books. Although they are all "line-bound books", the printing quality is good. After getting used to it, it is very convenient to read. It gets immersed in the mood and it passes in a long time without realizing it.

Or go to the bookstore to visit the bookstore, where there are many interesting books, especially the "Five Internals Picture" about medicine. Li Yuan learned for the first time how human organs are distributed.

The author is the famous doctor Yao Zui. The book explains the five internal organs of the human body in detail and attaches several pictures, which draw anatomical pictures of the dead prisoner. Of course, there are other people who paint it. The "Picture of Li Awu Five Internals" in the attached picture impressed Li Yuan.

I once hesitated whether to buy it back, but I was afraid that my wife would be scared and I would give up. But now Li Yuan bought a whole box of "Five Internal Pictures", not because he wanted to ship it back to Chang'an.

When Zhou State recovered Guanzhong, Huangzhou booksellers quickly moved to set up a business in Chang'an City, and listed a book list to accept bookings. Huangzhou's books were already well-known in Chang'an, but now they are becoming more and more popular.

The cheap and beautiful Huangzhou books were transported from Huangzhou to Chang'an. After purchasing the goods, the book merchants still made a profit by selling them in Guanzhong and Longyou. What's more, some complete sets of books can't be bought elsewhere.

In addition to the aristocratic families with a complete collection of books, ordinary scholars always lack a few volumes. The books published by Huangzhou Bookstores greatly make up for this shortcoming, so books have become a "special product" in Huangzhou.

Li Yuan, who is in Xiyang City, Huangzhou, has become the best candidate for "purchasing specialties" for relatives and friends.

Although his life in Xiyang was like house arrest, he had no confidence. As Zhou State recovered Longyou, Hedong, the situation became better and better, and Li Yuan was less and less restricted in Xiyang City. After frequent communication with relatives and friends, business came to his door.

A gentleman is ashamed of making profits, but Li Yuan really only helped at the beginning. He went to the bookstore and knew the market conditions. With the help of his classmate Xu Shao, he was able to buy many books at a "discounted price".

After several helps, the relatives and friends who tasted the sweetness were out of control. Not only Li Yuan, but also relatives from his wife Dou knew about this shortcut. As more and more requests for "doing a favor", Li Yuan became a little embarrassed.

His family has no income in Xiyang City. The monthly food is provided by the government and some circulating coupons are also available. Just to deal with daily needs, it is worry-free, but if you want to buy a large amount of books, you will feel short of money.

It was a pleasure to buy books in boxes, but the book fee was rising. Although relatives and friends would not owe to the book money afterwards, he could not do anything to give the other party money first. As for credit in the bookstore, he couldn't even think about it.

It’s embarrassing to go to the store for credit like this!

Xu Shao was generous and guessed that he didn't have enough money to buy books, so he gave away the circulation coupons in a pile. Li Yuan was embarrassed to always rely on Xu Shao to help him, but he was really stretched. At this moment, someone appeared.

King Yuwen of Xiyang, Xiyang, invited Li Yuan and his wife to visit the palace. At first, Li Yuan was unwilling to do so, but he couldn't go. After all, if someone was shameless, he would be the one who was unlucky to be fooled.

After entering the palace with great fear, Li Yuan was relieved after seeing Xu Shao and his wife. The appearance of the Princess Xiyang at the banquet made Li Yuan amazed at his appearance and completely relieved.

The Yuchi family is so beautiful, how could Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang be interested in his wife?

It was an ordinary banquet, and when I was drinking and talking, it turned out to be a business. Yuwen Wen, the owner of the bookstore, said that he could help Li Yuan: if you don’t have enough money, you can pay on credit, and wait until the money from Guanzhong is here before you settle the bill.

What should I do if I can’t account for a long time?

Then let’s talk about it later! As for purchasing agents, you have to be more flexible, right?

Yuwen Wen's courage in business surprised Li Yuan very much. The word "purchase agent" proposed by the other party surprised Li Yuan. Before he knew it, he became the "purchase agent" of his relatives and friends in Huangzhou, Shannan.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and started to do "purchase agents". In his letters, he mentioned to his relatives and friends that he was "very cheap and convenient to buy things" in Huangzhou, not only books, but also all kinds of goods.

After opening, I couldn't stop it anymore. Everyone wanted to buy books, and the book list sent by them were bought in boxes and boxes according to the title of the book, and they wanted any book.

Li Yuan was not able to transport so many books back to Guanzhong, but the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce provided "consignment" services, with preferential prices, and he introduced him as the King of Xiyang to be a "purchasing agent", so he gave a discount.

"Mr., the counting is completed, no problem."

"Very good, put a seal on it and go to the chamber of commerce to find someone to go through the procedures."

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief from the wooden boxes in the yard, and turned into the room, seeing his wife Dou settle the accounts.

"How, is the account calculated?"

"Silang! This month, you're making a net profit of at least 200 trump cards!"

Dou said happily with the account book, Li Yuan was unable to realize for a moment: "Ah, is it a lot of two hundred guan?"

He doesn't care about the accounts on weekdays, and he has no worries about food and clothing, so he is not very clear about the concept of earning 200 yuan a month. Anyway, there were originally many fields in the mansion, and the harvest could support expenses.

"Doesn't spend more? Two chunks of money for a meal? Is it extravagant?"

Li Yuan nodded. He was born into a noble family, but his life was not very luxurious. He rarely spent two jin of money on a meal. If calculated at this level, three meals a day would cost six jin, and then one month would cost one hundred and eighty jin.

"Uh, so it's a lot of 200 stakes?"

"More, this is the money earned by buying low and selling high, and it doesn't take much effort." Dou was very excited when she said this. She was smart since childhood. Although she was a daughter, she had a good knowledge.

"Making two hundred trump cards a month is worth a lot of profits from trading."

Li Yuan nodded in a vague way, because his mother and wife were in charge of the accounts and expenses in the mansion on weekdays, and his concept of money was indeed a bit vague, but when "purchasing agent" was so profitable, he was really excited.

We don’t need to rely on the property of the government, this is the money we earn from purchasing agents!

"Silang, I have calculated carefully. Last month, I earned 200 trump cards, and the books I purchased on behalf of me this month would be 30% more, so I earned more than 200 trump cards this month. If I do it for a few more months, I will definitely..."

Speaking of this, Dou sighed: "How come we can't live in Xiyang for long."

Li Yuan nodded and sighed softly. He should be cheering when he could return to Guanzhong, but now the couple is a little sad.

News keeps coming, the storm is about to pass, and the days when their family was under house arrest in Xiyang, Huangzhou are about to end, and they will be able to return to Guanzhong soon.

Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang who was once a minister of the Sui Dynasty, was not liquidated.

Li Yuan's mother, Dugu, was the fourth sister of Dugu, the queen of Sui State, so he himself was cousin with several princes of Sui State. Li Yuan's family can be regarded as royal relatives of Sui State. If Zhou State wants to settle the score, it will not be avoided.

However, Li Yuan himself did not participate in Yang Jian's seizure of power and became emperor. After the establishment of the Sui Kingdom, he only served as a preparatory place in the imperial palace. In fact, like many people, he followed the trend.

Li Yuan did not even lead troops to fight with the Zhou State, let alone his grandfather Li Hu was one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. The descendants of the Li family were also powerful and powerful in Guanlong military affairs, and were the targets of Qi King Yuwen Liang. They had no grievances or grudges with the Yuchi family, so it was reasonable to escape.

So his life in Xiyang is about to end. Seeing that the "purchase agent" is doing very well, what should we do next?

"Silang, why not... choose a few trusted servants and stay in Xiyang to continue to be purchasing agents?"

"Ah?" Li Yuan was stunned at first when he heard this, then nodded. The couple looked at each other and began to plan the next purchasing matter.
Chapter completed!
