A high city wall has been erected outside the Ximing Gate of Luoyang, and a door has been opened on the wall opposite the gate, saying, "
Go to the West Gate”.
Most of the buildings between Ximingmen and Shangximen are moving outwards, and many places have been vacant, and now they are full of people.
As soon as I finished breakfast, the sky became cloudy, lightning and thunder roared, and strong winds were blowing.
"It's a sin! Someone must have committed a sin!" A crazy scream came from his ears, and Ka Xu subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked out.
"Shu people." Shao Yong said in a brief manner.
"So that's it." Bian Xu sighed.
He did not put down the curtains, nor did he look back, but looked outside steadily.
He could not accurately describe his thoughts, but the tragic situation of the people who lost their country still made him subconsciously feel a sudden heart.
If the Great Pu dies, it may not be much better.
Although he is fine, what about the others? They may not have a hard relationship.
The rain fell, and the earth was enjoying the nourishment of the rain as if hungry and thirsty.
The Shu people who were still scolding just now got into empty houses, looking for any place to shelter from the rain.
The carriage quickly passed through the slightly messy Xicheng, left the west gate, and arrived in front of a courtyard outside the city.
The follower immediately stepped forward.
A few people came out of the gatehouse, after negotiations, they opened the door, and the carriage moved forward again, and drove into the yard.
"The people guarding the door are all Shaofu Garden households." After Shao Yong and Ka Xu arrived at the corridor, their entourage brought two beds to the hall. The cousins ​​simply sat in the corridor, enjoying the rain that was connected to the sky and chatting.
"They won't leave until the first day of July. If you find a way to buy some servants and maids, take your wife and children over, and you will have a home." Shao Yong continued.
"Is the servant reliable?" Bian Xu really wanted to settle his home in Luoyang and asked seriously.
Shao Yong was silent and said, "It should be quite reliable. He just doesn't speak Mandarin and needs to be trained."
"Don't speak Mandarin? Where are you from?" Ka Xu asked.
"Hu people, do you dare to buy it?" Shao Yong turned to his cousin and said, "Some Hu people were captured on the battlefield and had skills. Some were women, children, and were caught by surprise."
"How many people are used in Luoyang?" Ka Xu asked.
"Many. But I haven't heard of a few hurt people." Shao Yong said.
"When Zu Shizhi was still alive, there were slaves from Jie people in their family, and they were also prisoners when they heard that they were." Bian Xu said, "If you buy, buy, but I have to bring some people from Jiangnan."
"But." Shao Yong nodded indifferently, then asked again, "I really don't want to become an official?"
"I won't cause trouble for my father." Ka Xu sighed and said.
"Then what do you do to do?" Shao Yong asked with a smile: "Your Majesty often says that the Shao family does not support idle people. If you recommend it, Luoyang will not support idle people. You must have a living. Otherwise, you will not have money to build this house."
When he said this, Shao Yong pointed to the moss-covered wall.
"Does Your Highness have a way?" Ka Xu asked.
"You go to Jiyin to borrow money." Shao Yong said with a smile.
Bian Xu also smiled: "If you borrow money, you can't sit and eat the whole country."
Shao Yong closed his smile and said, "It really doesn't work, go to Hedong to have a look."
"Hedong?" Bian Xu seemed to have thought.
This is to ask him to visit his relatives in Hedong. After all, his mother is also a member of the Pei family. She has been to Jiangnan for more than 20 years.
It would be fine if I didn’t come back. Since I’m back, I should go to Hedong to have a look.
"In the counties of Bingzhou, the Pei family is still very famous." Shao Yong said: "After meeting the relatives, you can see if you can find some ways in Bingzhou. According to me, horse sales are the best."
Ka Xu nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
Horses are really too expensive and too scarce in Jiangnan. Every time they appear, they are immediately snatched away.
Henan is better, not that short, but it is not a bargain either.
"Where do the horses in the Central Plains come from?" he asked.
" Raise yourself, or come from Bingzhou, Qinzhou, and Youzhou." Shao Yong said: "There are the most common horses, followed by Bingzhou Mountain Huma. However, Yicheng, the two army of Luoyan did not use Huma, mostly Guangcheng, Zuoguo Eryuan selected and sent it, and there were some in Luoyang Xiyuan. The imperial guards did not use Huma as war horses, at most they were ridden. It was easy to charge and catch up with Guangcheng horses. However, the people could not use Yuan horses, and even the soldiers of the palace could not use Yuan horses, and most of them were Huma. If you could sell it, you could still make a lot of money."
Ka Xu was a little puzzled why Shao Yong didn't do this business, but he believed that selling horses would definitely make a big profit, and this has been the case in all dynasties.
The question is, do you have this ability? Mr. Wu has not interfered in this transaction, which shows that it is not something that ordinary people can do.
Or the emperor will choose someone to do this, and everyone will give you some face.
Either make an early layout and have enough family background, so the road to smooth operation after long-term operation.
Or it is a huge power that can settle officials, chiefs, and warriors along the way.
Ka Xu didn't know much about the northern region, but he went south from Dai Guoshi Ma to pass through Kelan, Xihe, Pingyang, Hedong,
The five counties of Hongnong have just arrived in Luoyang, so why didn’t Wu Gong do it?
To put it bluntly, it may be easier to travel south from Daiguo to traffickers than to sell horses.
"Click" footsteps sounded on the stone road. Bian and Shao looked up and saw a entourage wearing a straw raincoat enter. After seeing Shao Yong, they reported, "Your Majesty summoned the lord into the palace, and in the afternoon, the west wing of Tai Chi Hall was listening to the discussion."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Shao Yongqi said.
"The seven counties of Bingzhou, Jizhou Huoqi, Xihe, Taiyuan, Leping, Shangdang, Zhao, Guangping, and Julu are particularly serious, with thousands of pedestrians and beasts killed." The follower replied, "The report of Jiexiu County in Xihe, Jieshan is as big as a chicken, covering the sky and the ground, three feet in the flat ground, and more than a meter below the depression. The report of Jizhou, the trees were destroyed and the crops were gone."
When Shao Yong heard this, he said, "This must be an exaggeration."
The follower smiled bitterly and said, "I also feel that it is exaggerated. It is hard to imagine that three feet of ice and electricity on the ground. But the electric disaster has occurred.
It should be true that many people and animals died.”
Shao Yong chewed the names of seven counties, more than a thousand miles from west to east-··
And these seven counties are just the most serious, what about the other counties? Maybe it’s just not serious, but there are also ice and electricity.
"Just just saw lightning and thunder, strong winds, and heavy rain soon, was heavy rain. Could it be that it was also caused by hail disaster?
"Shao Yong asked.
"What the lord said is very much." The follower said, "It rained heavily two days ago in Hanoi and has not stopped yet. There are storms and heavy rains around these seven counties, but there is only a small amount of ice falling. Outside Yanmen Pass, the strong wind has been blowing vigorously for ten days.
The Shanyu Mansion reported that the frost in the north and south of the Yin Mountains continued to fall."
Shao Yong said intimately.
I just said that when the forage grass is blooming and earing, you will feel frost coming from the sky, and this year it will definitely not grow well.
He immediately stood up and brought someone to the straw raincoat. Then he seemed to think of something and asked, "Why is it that Jizhou's no-man report?"
"Master, have you forgotten?" The follower said softly: "Mrs. Guo, the Prime Minister's Mansion, died of illness. The King's envoy went home to attend the funeral. He also went to work and mourn."
"Oh, yes, I forgot." Shao Yong paused and continued to wear a straw raincoat.
When my father dies and mourns for one year, it’s actually fine. On the other hand, I have to mourn for three years (twenty-seven months).
I just don’t know if Hutou is going to do it one by one, and my father won’t let him come back.
"It's a lot of trouble." Shao Yong sighed and said, "It's only been ten years."
More than ten years ago, Bingzhou and Jizhou flooded in the third year, Youzhou, Sizhou and Yongzhou were also affected to a certain extent.
The epidemic three years later is even more terrifying.
That year, how many people died of husbands or wives, and how many people died of parents and children.
Ten years later, the trauma has been healed. Luoyang people can talk about those difficult years in a relatively normal tone after dinner. Some people even laughed at how many martial artists who suddenly became rich have survived the epidemic, but their wives did not, so they got married one after another, making them very happy.
But after ten years of relatively stable life, the disaster came again.
Fortunately, there should be no floods this time, and droughts are terrifying.
In late spring and early summer, winter wheat has been harvested and grains have not yet been planted. However, if it is a farmer who planted millet in spring, it would be more miserable.
There must be many such people. After all, in such a large country, it is impossible for every household to grow winter wheat or spring millet at the same time. As the years grow, they are generally staggered.
"Yan Feng--"
After putting on the straw raincoat, Shao Yong looked at Ka Xu with apologetic expression and said, "I can only talk about the trafficking of horses in the future."
"This is a big deal, Your Highness will go quickly." Kaxu said, "I will go to Hedong tomorrow, and after meeting my relatives, I will go back to Jiyin."
Shao Yong nodded, stopped talking, and disappeared into the vast rain curtain.
*******
Shao Yong's carriage stopped outside the gate, then walked in, and soon arrived at the west wing of Tai Chi Hall.
Shao Zhen, the commander of the Zhonghuangmen, came up and saluted, "Your Highness will go in and rest first, your Majesty will not come in the afternoon."
"Okay." Shao Yong nodded and asked softly, "Is there anything else?"
"Your Highness has not been sent yet. Your Majesty may take you north, and I will also accompany you to the north." Shao Zhen said.
Shao Yong was shocked and asked, "Go to the north? Where to go?"
"Yinshan Kushuang." Shao Zhen lowered his head after saying that, obviously unwilling to say more.
Shao Yong frowned and entered the west chapel.
Yinshan Queshuang is a tradition of Tuoba family, and it has been many years. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but he always feels that the words of Chounu just now have a profound meaning, with a creepy smell.
This feeling is strange and unreasonable, but it just lingers.
After Shao Yong sat down, he thought hard, but finally suddenly became stunned: it seemed like he was killing.
At this moment, two more arrived one after another.
When Shao Yong saw that he was the sixth brother, King Qin Shao Jin, who had just returned from Guanzhong, followed by Yuan Zhen.
He immediately stepped forward to salute, and Shao Jin and Yuan Zhen returned the salute.
"Lizhen." Shao Yong suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want to go back to Pingcheng to take a look?"
Yuan Zhen was a little bit dissatisfied.
When Shao Jin heard this, he glared at Shao Yong.
Shao Yong's heart broke out and Shanshan laughed.
Brother Six’s eyes are different from before, and they are a bit scary. Can experiences outside make a person change so much?
After glaring at my seventh brother, Shao Jin sat aside.
Yuanzhen sat next to Shao Jin. Bored, he twisted around like a nail growing under his butt.
When Shao Jin saw this, he gently pinched his ear.
Yuan Zhen immediately became honest, leaned over Shao Jin and whispered.
Shao Jin looked at him angrily and pinched his ears again, but this time it was a bit like the brother pampering his younger brother.
Shao Yong widened his eyes. He almost didn't know this brother who grew up with him.
Could it be that it was because of taking Mrs. Yao?
"Agan, I have a good horse——" Yuan Zhen's voice came intermittently.
"Don't call Agan, brother." Shao Jin said, "I heard that you gave up halfway through studying yesterday and took a ruler?"
"I can't read it." Yuan Zhen whispered: "I don't want to read, just practice riding horses and shooting archery.
Help Agan fight in the future.”
Shao Jin chuckled and said, "I still have to read the book."
Shao Yong withdrew his peeping gaze.
He understood that this was the style of the elder brother, and the demeanor of the eldest son. It was not obvious before, but after going out to practice, he grew up for some reason, as if Liang Nu had figured out something.
Chapter completed!
