Zhang Changzong was busy helping the people return to their hometowns and rushing to rush to plough the spring plowing, and waited for negotiations to negotiate a prisoner-replacement agreement in Luoyang City, with the release of the supplementary publication, public opinion gradually became hot, and various manuscripts were sent to the editorial department of the quarterly magazine like snowflakes. Whether it was the scholars who came to participate in the spring exam, there were people with some literary names everywhere, and the number of submissions gradually increased.

Xue Chongxiu was also cautious in reviewing manuscripts, firmly controlling the direction of the manuscript selection, and slowly guiding it. There can be controversial, but the views cannot be extreme. If you are really not satisfied, just find someone to give a topic and ask someone to write a "topic composition" and prepare to save it. Some will be published in the June quarterly issue to see the development of public opinion. If you need to publish another supplement, Xue Chongxiu pays close attention. In fact, it is not only Xue Chongxiu, but everyone who cares about this matter is paying attention, and public opinion is still under control.

In the suburbs of Luoyang, the largest warehouse in the warehouse, the shopkeeper Lu Si was lowering his head to settle the score. The counter suddenly thudded. Lu Si looked up and said that it was a Hu merchant. He had been living in the warehouse for several days and said that he was from Tiel. Lu Si remembered that he was called Musa and smiled professionally: "What's wrong with this customer?"

Musa spoke in the not-so-skilled Central Plains Mandarin: "Checkout, I'm leaving, I dare not stay in your Great Zhou anymore."

Lu Si was stunned and replied with a smile: "Yes. The customer has stored goods. As long as it is in the Great Zhou territory, we can help contact the ships and carriages for transfer. What do the guests need? We can provide help. Of course, this kind of help is not free and requires a small introduction fee."

Musa looked full of confusion and hesitation: "Shopkeeper, I can't bring back those goods. Can you please ask anyone who can eat them at once? I'll go back in a hurry, it can be cheaper."

Lu Si's eyes flashed and said with a smile: "Yes, we are in this industry and have some connections with the major merchants in the city. I can help the guests introduce them to you. But why did the guests suddenly want to leave? You have booked in your account for one month."

Musa said with a bitter face: "I don't want to do anything either. It's just that you, the people of Great Zhou, are so scary! You will never dare to go to Central Plains to do business again!"

This is the largest warehouse in Luoyang City, gathering merchants from all over the world, not only Central Plains merchants, but also from foreign countries, Tiel, Khitan, Persia and other countries. Upon hearing this, they all looked up at him. A Persian Hu merchant immediately asked: "Musa, is there anyone extortion or extortion from you? You can find a shopkeeper and ask him to introduce you to someone in the yamen of the Great Zhou Dynasty who is in charge of business order."

Musa shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Dazhou is well managed, but Dazhou's army is not good, it's too terrible!"

"Army?! What's wrong with the army of Dazhou?"

Everyone asked curiously, Lu Si's face was slightly dark, he looked at Musa silently, and then he heard Musa say, "The news I just received, the army of Great Zhou defeated the Turkic army."

"The Turks are robbed by them. I have been robbed by the Turks and suffered great losses. Isn't it good to be defeated by the army of the Great Zhou? If you defeat them, don't rob them at will!"

Hu Shang said happily. But Musa shook his head repeatedly: "No, no! You don't know that the army of the Great Zhou was so cruel that he killed the Turkic people and laid Jingguan!"

"Leijingguan?!"

All the merchants present were stunned. Lu looked down on his face, looked at Musa's eyes in a narrow way, and smiled: "Musa, where did you get the news?"

Musa said: "The merchants who have arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been talking about this. This leading general is so terrible. He ordered people to kill the Turks and build Jingguan, which shows that he is not kind and righteous. Will he also kill the merchants walking on the business road in the future? It's so terrible, so terrible. I'd better go back, don't want to be rich, spend money without life, tsk, so terrible!"

For a moment, the merchants in the warehouse were a little surprised. For those who were doing business, the generals who led the frontier were too important. Those with conscience would exploit them less and let them pass the test if they only took what they should take. For fear of encountering those cruel people, it was not that there had been no incidents of generals leading soldiers to kill merchants. For a moment, people in the warehouse couldn't help but feel the hearts of the major merchants were wandering around the capital, collecting information everywhere.

"Dalang, the time for the banquet is almost here. You agreed to Zhang Juren's banquet today and want to attend the cultural meeting."

"I understand, I will prepare the carriage and horses and change my clothes!"

"Here."

Xue Chongyin stood and let the maids dress him up and prepare to go out. The crown, hat and ornaments were exquisite but not visible, but instead showed a simple and elegant look. Liulang said, this was called low-key luxury.

Thinking of Liulang who led his troops to the battle, Xue Chongyin pursed his lips slightly and waited for his maid to serve his clothes. Zhenniang, the maid in his room, brought a plate of folding fans for him to choose from—

This folding fan was made by a big girl. It uses hard objects as the bones and paper or silk as the faces. It can be painted and written on it. It is quite elegant. It was first circulated among the scholars of the two capitals, but now it has probably spread all over the world. Although his big girl is a woman, she is quite famous among the writers.

"Use this."

Xue Chongyin chose a simple fan with only large characters on the fan, one with quiet characters and the other with fixed characters. He dressed up, rode a horse, and took the servant to a banquet. It was not a family banquet held at home, but a banquet set up in the private room of the winery, which was a foreign student he met in the Imperial College.

"Brother Xue finally arrived! I'm waiting for you!"

"Brother Lao Zhang is waiting, everyone else has arrived? I won't be the last one, right?"

"What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll punish myself for three cups."

He went into the private room and sat down. Sure enough, among the people present, everyone was holding a folding fan. Zhang Juzi also invited Xi Jiu from Pingkangfang, obviously intending to get together.

Xue Chongyin sat down, and immediately a beautiful prostitute came over and saluted respectfully. There was a look of admiration between his eyebrows and eyes: "My name is Tuan Niang, I serve the Lord."

It is common for young people to invite famous Xi Jiu and female prostitutes from Ping Ankang. Xue Chongyin often walks outside and naturally deals with it easily. He smiled slightly: "With my mother, I am not good at writing poetry, so I will not bother you later."

Tuan Niang's eyes lit up, and she smiled and responded respectfully: "Hey, please don't worry, I will do my best. I heard from Zhang Lang that Lang is the elder brother of Xue? I am not talented, and I play the pipa well. If I have the chance, I will ask you to appreciate and give advice."

Xue Chongyin paused, but the gentle smile on his face did not change. He deliberately begged for mercy and said, "Mom Tuan, please forgive me. Although Xin'an and I are brothers and sisters, my music is just average. It's not that Xin'an is my sister, I am proficient in music."

Tuan Niang smiled and said embarrassedly: "It's because I am abrupt. Don't blame Xue Lang. I will punish myself for a cup of punishment."

Xue Chongyin smiled and said, "I'm used to it, so I don't need to be punished. If Tuan Niang is willing, I will work harder to write poems later and let me be punished less."

"Hey, I must be careful."

They sit down while chatting and laughing, and there is a seat for the audience, so they naturally want to drink. The young people are having fun together, and the scene is very lively.

After drinking for three rounds, Xie Ren, one of the classmates of the Imperial College, said, "Brother Xue, I heard that you are working in the quarterly magazine. Can you reveal in private when your magazine will be released? Do you have any plans to publish a supplement?"

Xue Chongyin was slightly stunned and said, "The supplement has just been released. The official publication in March will depend on the situation."

Xie Ren nodded and said, "So that's it. I have an article here. Please ask Brother Xue to correct me to see if he is qualified to be published in your magazine."

As he said that, he took out the prepared article from his sleeve and handed it to Xue Chongyin. Xue Chongyin took a stolen look at it, writing about the war with the Turks this time. There were also incidents of criticizing Zhang Changzonglei Jingguan, and his views were quite radical.

Xue Chongyin paused and said, "Sorry, Brother Xie, if it were ordinary poems, I could still participate in the selection, but the articles related to the battle with the Turks were all selected by my sister."

Xie Ren was a little disappointed: "Ah, it's not Brother Xue who is the leader? I thought the quarterly magazine was the leader of Brother Xue! The quarterly magazine and other places actually let the woman lead the leader, so she doesn't need Brother Xue. The princess is really good at tutoring!"

Xue Chongyin's face turned slapped, and Juren Zhang quickly smoothed out: "Brother Xie said a few words, what are you talking nonsense! Brother Xue, Brother Xie is drunk and talking nonsense, don't worry."

Xue Chongyin didn't say anything, but just stared at Xie Ren. Xie Ren apologized after being pulled and persuaded by his companions: "I'm sorry, Brother Xue, I have no malice. I just feel a little strange. We are all men in charge, and women only need to take care of their husbands and children at home."

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their faces and looked at Xie Ren with a fool's eyes. The female emperor was sitting on the imperial throne. Xue Chongyin stood up directly: "Brother Zhang, I suddenly remembered that there was something else at home. Let me leave first. I will be the host another day. I will hold a banquet to apologize to Brother Zhang and say goodbye."

Xue Chongyin got up and left, and the other guests stood up and said goodbye one after another. Juren Zhang couldn't help but stay, and saw that the good banquet could not be done. He looked at Xie Ren angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Xie Ren said angrily: "That's all, women should be more at ease. Brother Xue is also a good-tempered person. He actually lets his sister take power and is idle. If it were me, I would have protested with my mother long ago. Why... woo woo woo woo woo woo!"

"Silence you!"

The voice gradually faded, and Xue Chongyin stood silently, without looking at the servant's expression, and said calmly: "Let's go, go back home."

"Here."
