Chapter 351: No firms are allowed to play flags
Chapter 351: The trader is not allowed to slap flags
When the people heard this, they couldn't help but shouted: "Mr. Wang and Majesty, don't you rest, and you have to run to Tonghua Gate in one breath?"
They couldn't believe it. Seeing that Wang Ping'an was quite thin and his small body was not very strong. He could run from Yanxingmen to Chunmingmen, and he had to continue running towards Tonghuamen. He could do it!
Li Zhi shouted immediately, "Okay, this is the masters! I am not sick, I admire you!" He clamped the war horse under his crotch and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Let's run!"
At this moment, the soldiers in the back also arrived. Although they were not elite, they were still much stronger than the old and weak yesterday. In advance, Wang Ping'an explained to them how to run, so the soldiers did not have enough motivation, but they had endurance. They lined up in a row and didn't even have one left behind!
When they ran to Chunming Gate, the soldiers suddenly shouted slogans. Several loud-sounding officers led the way and shouted: "The guards of the Tang Dynasty are invincible in the world. Run forward and never stop, one, two, three, four!"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "One, two, three, four!"
The soldiers lined up into the crowd and immediately rushed away! The soldiers ran and made gestures at the people to laugh at each other!
Some people saw it and shouted, "This gesture says we are turtles!"
Some even shouted: "This gesture says we are girls!"
"Oh, I ran so slowly, but I dare not accept it! I surpassed them, surpassed them!"
The shirtless people came again, and they made gestures to the soldiers and fought back. They were all just like you are a turtle, you are a woman, you are an eunuch...
Huh, the people participating in the race started running again, and in the blink of an eye, they ran to the front again. Master Jin San shook his fat body and ran to Wang Ping'an again, shouting: "Mr. Wang, this time, the villain is waiting for you to go, prepare a hand towel for you to wipe your sweat!"
He rested for a while at the door, felt his strength recovered, and he started to scatter his joy again, and he was actually thinking about preparing a hand towel for Wang Ping'an!
Wang Ping'an smiled. The distance from Chunming Gate to Tonghua Gate is much farther from Yanxing Gate to Chunming Gate, at least one mile away. Don't underestimate this land. Those who travel a hundred miles are half a dozen. Even if they run faster in front, they will be afraid that you will not be able to tremble at all when you tremble at the end!
Huh, the people began to run again.
After running for about two miles, many idle people began to slow down. Many people who participated in the race yesterday began to breathe. idle people found that they shouldn't have rested just now. The legs hadn't been heavy, but after a break, they ran again, but they found that their legs were getting heavier and he couldn't lift them up!
Wang Ping'an still ran slowly. He was more than an idle man. Seeing that this idle man was screaming vigorously, but now he slowed down. When he surpassed this idle man, he stretched out his five fingers with his right hand and made a turtle move!
The idle man was covered in sweat and his big shorts were soaked. He suddenly saw the prince and prince doing such a move to him. His reaction suddenly became strong, which was beyond Wang Ping'an's expectations!
Seeing the turtle's movements, he should have been extremely angry, but the idle man suddenly became excited and shouted: "Wang, the king and the prince made gestures to me. Wang, the prince made gestures to me... The villain's name is Zhao Yijia..."
Wang Ping'an grinned, and the Ouyang brothers and others also opened their mouths. Okay, this made him excited, and he even reported to him to come to the house!
I ran for a short distance, and suddenly someone started to make a noise behind me, and there was a loud noise, as if I was going to fight in a group!
Wang Ping'an didn't have to look back and knew what happened. This was already under his expectations. He had already done it. It should have happened at this time!
It was nothing else, but the merchants had set up their flags to come. Those clever merchants sent their followers to hurry up and rush to build the banners of their own business. The followers did not dare to neglect them, so they ran back to the city, found the cloth shop nearby, pulled the cloth and made the simple flags, and hired horses to come quickly!
But when they arrived at the running crowd, the horse-riding officers who accompanied the soldiers surrounded them, snatched the big banner of the merchants and threw them on the ground, not allowing them to snatch the flag!
Of course the merchants quit. What can the soldiers do? You are in charge of the heaven, earth and war, and you still want to control us to catch flags. We have not fought other flags, and we are all fighting flags from our own business names. Why don’t you allow us to fight?
The officers don’t care about the protests of the merchants. They don’t protest. Nowadays, whoever holds the knife in his hand will have the final say. What’s the use of chanting with his mouth? Mouth is the most valuable thing!
The officers rushed forward, snatched all the big flags of merchants, threw them on the ground, waved the whip in their hands, shouted loudly, and let the merchants be smarter and dared to play with the flag. Be careful to let you taste the power of the whip!
The merchants were furious. Although they were at the end of the four levels of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, many merchants were extremely rich. There were many big merchants in Chang'an City, and they could even be called chaebols. Who are they afraid of? Even if they were afraid of someone, they would harden their necks for their own interests at this time, for their own interests, and they could not show a fear expression!
Some merchants shouted: "Why don't we let us slim flags? The Tang Dynasty law, which provisions, we are not allowed to slim flags?"
The officers shouted: "Shut up to me, why not? My horse whip is a certificate!"
"Oh, you dare to speak like this, aren't you afraid that the superior will blame him? Your Highness is right in front of you!" Many merchants shouted, but they did not dare to really complain. Looking at the arrogance of these officers, I guess even if I sued him in front of the prince, the prince would not care. Maybe it was the order issued by the prince!
Some merchants tried to reason, and they shouted, "How can the prince and princess fight the flag? The eighth heaven is written on his big shorts, and his guards fight the eighth heaven's flag. What do you say?"
The officers whipped the horse whip in the air and shouted, "What is the advertisement for the prince? Is it easy to advertise? Do you understand? That is to advertise for the Bachintian. In the future, the business of the Medicinal Food Farm will be prosperous, and you will make money every day!"
"Then he can fight the flag, why can't we fight?" The merchants were very dissatisfied and told him that this is a great thing. Why are we not allowed to do such a good thing? It's really outrageous!
"No, no, no, who is reasonable to you!" The officers curled their lips. They were instructed by their superiors and must attack the merchants, make them angry, make them feel wronged, and let them know that this is a good thing, but they are not allowed to do it. They must make them angry but cannot be released. The more they hold back, the better!
There was a constant noise behind, but the entire team was still moving!
Wang Ping'an was still as fast as he was slow, and he saw a mile from Tonghua Gate. From a distance, he could see the situation at the city gate, and everything was planned!
As he ran, he suddenly found that there was someone in front of him rubbing against him, his body was covered in fat, shiny oil, and sweat beads were falling down. It was no one else, but Master Jin San!
Wang Ping'an smiled, ran a few steps, came to the side of Master Jin San, and breathed evenly. Then he opened his mouth and spoke, "Where is the hand towel?" Without waiting for Master Jin San to answer, he continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled the distance apart one foot away!
Master Jin San almost didn't make any noise. He couldn't believe his eyes. What happened? The prince who had lost weight could actually run to his front, and the speed was still that way. Not only did he not see any slowness, but he was a little quicker!
He quickly tried to work hard to speed up his strength in his body, trying to catch up with Wang Ping'an, but the more he wanted to run faster, his legs became heavier. And as he saw Wang Ping'an pulling farther and farther away, he began to feel depressed. It didn't matter if he could not even rub it. If it weren't for the sake of face, he would even want to just lie on the ground and never get up!
Still the speed, but Wang Ping'an has exceeded more and more people, more than one or two hundred. Although there are still five or six hundred strong men in front of him, he estimated that these people would not be able to run forward after running this stretch!
Wang Ping'an was superman all the way, Li Zhi was riding on the horse, and he was happy to see it. Wujian said yesterday that he would definitely be able to run into the first camp after running all the way today. It seems that it is true. According to the current situation, it is entirely possible that he can run into the top 100!
Tonghua Gate is right in front of you, and you will see dozens of large tables lined up at the city gate. The back of the tables are filled with officials. These officials are from the Ministry of Revenue, each of them is a copper calculator and a stencil. They are flexible in mind, eloquent in speaking, and very inspiring officials!
During the Tang Dynasty, abacus was also called calculation board, and the name calculation board was more common and was one of the essential tools for officials of the Ministry of Revenue.
In front of the officials, there was a square of nearly 100 people. This square was hired by Hami. They were all strong men. In their hands, these strong men were holding a big flag with the words "Eighth Heaven" written on it! The entire team of people raised the flag, which looked extraordinary and imposing, making people unable to pay attention.
Next to the officials and the flag team were thousands of people. They came from several nearby yards. Some of them were watching the fun, while others were attracted by the flag team. No matter what, this was the first time that such a large flag team had appeared among the people except in the army!
The people running in front were basically middle-aged men. They came for the rewards, not for face. They rushed to the front of the city gate. They had already seen dozens of big baskets placed in front of the officials' tables, and probably all of them were filled with copper coins!
Money can make the devil push the mill, and can make the strong men run away with joy!
Hundreds of strong men, swept their sweat, rushed to the city gate. They saw the officials standing up together, waved to the strong men who arrived first, and asked them to go over.
In the city tower, Li Shimin took out his handkerchief and gently wiped his sweat. He rode his horse along the city wall. He was old and started sweating after riding for a while!
Changsun Wuji was also a little sweaty. He stood in front of the window of the city tower, looked down, and said, "Your Majesty, they are here. It seems that many businessmen are clamoring behind him, probably because they are not allowed to sing flags. It seems that everything is developing according to the plan!"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Whether you can ask them to pay depends on how Zhier will deal with it!"
Changsun Wuji rarely showed a hint of nervousness. He said, "It would be great if the merchants could really pay for that advertisement. The court has added more investments from then on, which can solve many major issues!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, looked at Changsun Wuji, and said, "Wang Ping'an is Zhi'er's Wuji!"
This statement comes from the emperor's mouth, which is the greatest praise. It is not praising Wang Ping'an, but praising Changsun Wuji. It clearly expresses a meaning: Changsun Wuji is the person I trust the most!
Changsun Wuji's heart was stirred, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything thankful, everything was silent!
Wang Ping'an finally ran to the city gate. He did not stop immediately, but ran slowly on the spot and adjusted his breathing. Now he just needs to take a little rest and have to run again after a while!
The Ouyang brothers were still excited. They were not tired at all, and they didn't even sweat on their foreheads, and they were all full of energy. Ouyang Li smiled and said, "Master, it seems that there are many people who can run around the city. According to my subordinates, if this news is spread again, there will be more people participating in the city and outside the city, I guess someone can really run around the city wall!"
After a pause, he said again: "What I am talking about is running in one breath, without rest in the middle!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "There are some talented people in the Tang Dynasty. As long as you have skill in it, it is so difficult to run dozens of miles!"
He looked towards Li Zhi and saw that Li Zhi was walking here, he whispered: "You all look carefully, pay more attention to those who can run, and make friends early. When I ask you for a bigger official, you can also organize a battalion and recruit these people who can run, and you will definitely not be wrong!"
Brothers Ouyang are happy and are about to be promoted again. What a good thing!
Li Zhi rode his horse to the front and shouted, "Wuwujian, do you want to drink water? Gu has prepared the best tea here!" As he said that, he took a water bag from the horse's back and handed it to Wang Ping'an.
Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "I am not thirsty, and I just finished running, so I can't drink water immediately!"
Li Zhi said oh, just as he was about to say something else, but suddenly heard the screams and scolding from behind. When he looked back, he saw countless people coming from behind, most of whom were gorgeously decorated and looked like they were rich businessmen!
These merchants did not follow them. After all, there were few people who could run so far. Some took cars and some rode horses. But as soon as they arrived at the city gate and saw the flag team, the anger in their hearts burst out suddenly!
The merchants were furious. They were scolded by the officers along the way, and some were even whipped a few times. Although everyone was angry, they could still force them to suppress them and hold them in their stomachs. No matter what, the people did not fight with the officials, they could not afford to offend the army!
But when I got here and saw the flag team of Bachongtian, my anger broke out like a volcano! The medicinal food shop was a business of Wang Ping'an, and everyone knows it, but among the bosses, there are Hu people, Hamiti and Ayiding, both Hu people, and the ones who run the business in Bachongtian were the two barbarians. Why can they? We can't? When will the people of the Celestial Empire be worse than the barbarians in the foreign countries?
