Crown Tang emperor

After he finished speaking, he stood up and waved his hands and said: "You brothers and sisters have been away for a long time, so naturally you have accumulated more family affairs. Erlang doesn't need to listen to his disciples in the near future, so I will give you some escorts, and first accompany Lingmei in Beijing. That's it, You go."

Chapter 0243 is rich in the world, need to be close to big branches

In the Yang family's house in Jinchangfang, Ajiang, the slave, strode into the middle hall, smiling so that the dark tattoos on her cheeks became brighter, looked at Yang Li in the hall and said loudly: "Fourth lady, what a happy event! Those shop assistants in prison have been released and returned to the Liangshi mansion..."

"So fast? Are they all released?"

Hearing this, Yang Li immediately stood up from the table and murmured: "It's only been a day, is there anything else to follow? Forget it, hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to the mansion in the city Take a look!"

While speaking, she hurried out of the middle hall, and the servant girl, Agui, yelled several times from behind, before she remembered to go back to the inner hall and change into a travel outfit, and then went out and jumped into the carriage directly, ordering her family to go fast.

There are hundreds of employees of the Yang family guarding the property in Xijing, and most of them directly employ the local people in Guanzhong. When the Yang family property was suppressed, more than half of these people had dispersed.For this part of the shop staff, Yang Li didn't think much of it, and she wasn't a trusted confidant at all.

But there are more than 20 shop workers who came to Chang'an from central Shu, and they are the foundation of maintaining the Yang family's business in Xijing.Some of them are members of the Yang family, and some are family servants. Regardless of the help in business, they have a deep bond with the master's family.

Yang Li came to a mansion in Dongshi, and when she entered, she saw a group of people sitting together. Although they were very depressed, but fortunately, there were no obvious injuries, and then she made a gesture to the two middle-aged people sitting in the middle. Li said: "Uncle Qi, Mr. Zhou, and all of you, these days are really hard for you."

Everyone hurriedly got up and performed their salutes: "If the fourth lady hadn't rushed to rescue her, she would still be imprisoned. I don't know if I would be able to return to my hometown!"

After each sat down, Yang Li asked about the process of these people being imprisoned for the past few months, and whispered condolences, which was unavoidable.

"This time, the Song family made things difficult for my family, and they used their force really fiercely. They donated coins and daughters to make friends with the nobles of the gods. They broke up my family's property in Xijing, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize the rural property. Fortunately, the fourth lady was witty and decisive, and she gave up the foreigners in Xijing. Karma, we people can get out of the cage."

The person in charge of the Yang clan in charge of Xijing’s property is named Yang Gan. He was half grateful and half distressed: “This time, Si Niangzi gave up half of the shop in Xijing, and it’s really amazing. We are not careful enough to let the opponent catch us. If there is an opportunity, there is a mistake in the first place, and the master's benevolence and righteousness will save a life..."

Another steward also sighed: "These mansions in Xijing are the inheritance accumulated by the master's family for several generations, and now they are donated to other families to save disciples. We are also grateful for the kindness of the master's family. Even if we can no longer operate in Xijing, You must follow Si Niangzi back to your hometown and keep your roots. The village feud colluded with the outside dignitaries to frame the villagers, so you betray the righteousness of the village, you must not sit back and watch the Song family laugh at the village!"

They sang in unison, not only feeling emotional, but also to stabilize people's hearts.After all, this time, the opponents of the vengeance are too strong, and everyone has been in prison for several months, so it is inevitable that some people will have different thoughts and timid thoughts.

After Yang Li heard the words, she gave a wry smile and sighed: "All of you are hard-working relatives, long-time masters, and it is not a pity to sacrifice all your family wealth to save you. But even if I have such determination and deeds, the situation in Xijing is different from ours after all. In the countryside, what can really save everyone is another reason."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised for a moment, and stared at Yang Li with wide eyes.

"You have grown up in Xijing, and you are more proficient in watching the situation than I am. You understand how unreasonable these powerful families are. It's not easy to let them sell noodles with floating money!"

Although she was a little reluctant to admit it, Yang Li had to tell the truth: "This time the family business is out of trouble, and I still rely on the second brother. Although he has been wandering for many years, he is not without achievements. It is the servants of the King Hedong who is currently living in Xijing, and the King praised him to give you alms, so that you can return safely."

"King Hedong? This is..."

Everyone has been in prison for a long time, and they don't know what is causing the hustle and bustle in Xijing now. Although they traveled to Xijing in the past, they still couldn't reach the highest level of power, so they are naturally a little strange to this king.

After Yang Li heard the words, she explained a little: "The old surname of this Hedong King is Li, he is the blood grandson of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Alas, let’s not talk about these things, you are here to take care of yourself for the time being, whether you want to return to your hometown or make a new plan in Xijing in the future, you have to thank you for your advice before making decisions.”

When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed and excited for a moment, and they all talked about how to make friends with nobles and invite favors.

Yang Li also listened carefully in the banquet. Although she is in charge of the family business now, she lives in the countryside for a long time.This trip north to Xijing, I just had to bite the bullet, be bold, careful and flexible in thinking, but my experience was still shallow, and I really didn't have any experience in making friends with this level of dignitaries.

But what everyone talked about was nothing more than an ordinary strategy, and there may be some ingenious tricks in it, but Yang Li didn't agree much.Although they only met for a while and had a few words, she firmly believed in her heart that this king was different from ordinary dignitaries, and that ordinary tricks would be hard to please.

At this time, some family members who stayed behind in Jinchangfang rushed in and said: "The distinguished guests in the house are visiting, please come back quickly to treat the guests."

Yang Li got up and asked, seeing that the courtesy post was from a noble family who had been hard-pressed to visit before, she frowned slightly: "This family took the initiative to visit, could it be that they want to ask for more?"

She was troubled for a long time, and she couldn't think about it for a while. Although she was a little unhappy, she hurried out to get on the car and hurried home.Arrived in front of the house, but there were no guests, carriages and horses, the maid Agui came up and said that Erlang was treating the guests, and had already sent the guests away.

Suspicious, Yang Li went up to the middle hall, and saw her second brother Yang Xianzong was reclining limply, frowned and scolded: "Is this how you treat guests?"

"You let that wicked slave, Ajaan, beat me to the point of pain all over my body. If I don't treat guests like this, what can I do?"

Yang Xianzong said in a muffled voice, feeling pain while talking.

"Isn't this what you asked for? If I wasn't worried about undermining the great king's family, how could I let you go so easily!"

Yang Li snorted coldly, and then asked: "Why is the distinguished guest coming?"

Yang Xianzong took out a deed from under his body and slapped it on the table, saying: "Come and give this thing, fourth sister, when will you give away the business code of this shop in Xishi to others? Looking at the thriving buyers, how come..."

"You have the guts to say it! I'm a weak woman, if I don't ruin my ancestral property, how can I seek to see Gao Di!"

Yang Li raised her hand and patted her cousin's shoulder, Yang Xianzong jumped up from the couch in pain, it can be seen that although there was pain, it was by no means as exaggerated as his expression.

"Sent it back? Is there any message?"

Yang Li picked up the deed to verify that it was correct, first she asked with a puzzled frown, she was deeply impressed by this family, because this family is the most greedy, and there are people in the clan who are directly in charge of the West Market, but they don't want to eat the fat in their hands. Returned again.

If the family has not been rescued, Yang Li still suspects that the family is pretending to ask for more, but all the trusted shop workers have already settled in the Dongshi shop.After pondering for a while, Yang Li couldn't help but smile: "Could it be because King Hedong intervened to speak again?"

Yang Xianzong stood on one side in an awkward posture, and after hearing the words, he snorted and said, "Fourth sister, although it is hard for you to manage the housework, I still have to tell you honestly that these chores in my house are not worthy of the king's personal attention. Talking about the king, even I ...

Alas, I shouldn't tell you about these matters, but I just want you to understand that I didn't know about the troubles in my family before, but now that I know about it, I don't need you, a little lady, to worry about everything.You only know who else I will send the family business code to, and if I don't obediently send it back in the next few days, I have my own means to let them understand that my family should not be insulted! "

Yang Li raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and when she looked up, she saw that the second brother was trying to hide but was in pain. She couldn't help but show her unbearable expression: "Is it really that painful? Ajiang is also stupid, and he can't even hear angry words or the truth."

When Yang Xianzong saw his cousin's demeanor slowed down, he was also relieved, and said with a flattering smile: "Although I am in pain, I am happy to see that it can help the family affairs. Fourth sister, you should blame me, even if you give me another beating... "

"No more, no more."

Yang Li waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's too wasteful for me to take your life. You can work in your mansion with peace of mind, find time to marry a wife and have children, even if you die, you will die in the affairs of the king. Brother, don't worry, I will take care of your wife." Well taken care of!"

While speaking, she put away the business contract and said to Yang Xianzong: "Go back to the room and change clothes, let's go to thank the king."

"But, but the king allowed me to take a few days off, and besides, I am ashamed to look like this, you let me stay at home..."

After Yang Xianzong heard the words, he immediately looked embarrassed and coy.

"What do you want to do at home? I asked you to go home before but you didn't come back, but now I'm greedy for your belly!"

Yang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, Yang Xianzong didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, and limped out of the middle hall.

After standing in Zhongtang for a while, Yang Li returned to the room, put the lost business deed and several other copies together in a brocade box, and raised her hand to signal the maidservant, Agui, to carry it close to her body.

"Everyone has been rescued, and the lady still wants to lose her family property?"

Seeing this, the maid Agui couldn't help being curious and asked.

Yang Li laughed after hearing the words: "In the past, I was really self-defeating, but now I have to make more plans. This time the siege was relieved, but still can't people understand that money is in power? The danger that can make me worry about death, In the eyes of the dignitaries, it is just an ordinary word. A thousand pieces of gold are embraced in the city, so naturally they want to lean on a big branch. The King of Hedong is elegant and noble, and he donated gardens as soon as he saw him yesterday. It can be seen that his thinking is not obsessed with copper and silk.

My elder brother is lacking in talents, but he is known for being bold and bold. He can be valued by the king because of his broad-mindedness and tolerance.However, there are too many supporters for such leisurely diners. Although they are noble, they are inevitably in short supply.My family may have nothing else to say, only this long can make up for the short.My clumsy plan may not be able to enter the elegant arms, but as long as I can walk around in front of the court, there will be no troubles. "

Although the servant girl, Agui, listened very carefully, she looked dazed after listening to it. After thinking for a while, she laughed and said, "Although the servant girl doesn't understand, the lady is always right. If there is a strong man to protect her, the lady doesn't have to worry about it again." You were as scared as last night, and even in your nightmares you begged others not to beat you."

After Yang Li heard this, her pretty face turned blushing, and she said in a muffled voice: "Hmph, only those who are clumsy in using their wits will fight fiercely. King Xiang's strength is overwhelming, and it is difficult to stop Han Ye from spreading!"

Chapter 0244 Great King Good Teaching, Gan Lin Comforts Me

As the car approached the gate of the king's mansion in Chongrenfang, Yang Li looked up, only to see that the square street was full of horses and horses, and the slaves of various families were scattered among them, and there were many of them who she had visited and entrusted earlier.

It's just that those people are standing in the middle of the battle, with their heads bowed and their chests in their chests, and their postures are submissive.If it weren't for Yang Li's good memory, she really couldn't connect these people with the arrogant posture in her mind.

After her family's carriage drove into Chongrenfang, Marquis Wu from a street shop stepped forward to ask if he was here to visit the young king, and then some street disciples stepped forward to lead them outside the mansion to settle down in the car.

After getting out of the car, Yang Li saw a beautiful sandalwood car parked under the outer wall of Wang's mansion, and couldn't help exclaiming: "The disciples of Qiao Guogong also have friendship with the king?"

Yang Xianzong was helped out of the car by his family, and after hearing the words, he laughed and said: "My sister can know people by seeing cars, so it can be seen that there are many people in Xijing, and entrusting you with your family business is really a good payment!"

Yang Libai glanced at him, and said in a muffled voice: "I sent this car, so I was complained by others, saying that my gifts are not equal. They don't know how hard things are. Don't talk about the materials used for this car. It's just from Annan. To transport it to Xijing, the journey cost is more than twice the price of the car, but it's just muddy water, no waves at all!"

"I'm really wronged, sister! Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again!"

Yang Xianzong took a step forward, and said affectionately to his cousin.

As soon as their brothers and sisters stood here, several slaves in fresh clothes had already ostentatiously walked here on the other side, and one of them even pointed at Yang Li and said with a smile: "I just looked across the street, and I already feel familiar, come in and have a look." , it really is the lady of the Yang family. The young lady is really strong and agile, but the king in the mansion came to pay homage after hearing about his deeds not long after he entered Beijing?"

Seeing a few people approaching, Yang Li's eyes dimmed, Fang waited to force a smile, Yang Xianzong took a step forward, stopped in front of his cousin and frowned: "Which family walks so rudely, calling other girls in the street, you are not afraid of losing Master style?"

When those people saw Yang Xianzong being tall and heroic, they were stunned for a moment, and after a while, one of them sneered, "Shu women have been inattentive recently, so they are living in Xijing with strong strength. I will teach you how to be good, the courtyard in front of you is not ordinary. , the table is full of guests, and there is no room for idle leisure. Thinking of old love, good words to teach, if the lady of the Yang family can be generous again, go to Dongshi to buy some food and wine, and my master will lead you to the left after the banquet Goodbye..."

"The evil slave is looking for a beating!"

Yang Xianzong heard these people's crazy words, he was even more annoyed, he raised his fist and moved forward.

Those few people thought that there were a lot of people, after seeing this, they just sneered at each other, and rolled up their sleeves to make a big fight.However, at this time, a slave came out from behind the Xiangche, pointed at the two parties and shouted: "You blind man, don't see any car, go away and play around! The Xiangche is my master's favorite thing." , if there is even the slightest damage, I'll take your skins off!"

Seeing this, the provocative slaves laughed and put away their posture, and apologized to the man guarding the incense car, but they were still vicious when their eyes fell on the Yang brothers and sisters: "Shu dogs don't know the vastness of the world, they have the courage to go A fight outside the street!"

Yang Xianzong ignored the clamor of several people, but turned his head and said to Yang Li: "I really wronged my sister."

Yang Li took a deep breath, and then sighed: "I hope brother understand, I don't blame you for no reason."

The family of Duke Qiao who was guarding the car also knew Yang Li, and they were not as irritable as the other slaves. They just stood at a distance and said coldly to Yang Li: "This expensive mansion is unusual, please tell the lady of the Yang family Don't stay here to provoke. Please entrust me with some affairs, my lord will also ask questions in his free time, but the entanglement in the way is too deep, a few words of help are enough, and he doesn't have the time to ask too much."

Yang Li lowered her skirt and nodded, and made a slight salute to the man: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for telling me that the family troubles have been resolved. Today I took the liberty to visit the noble mansion, just to thank the nobles in the mansion."

Hearing this, the slave of the Duke of Qiao State couldn't help but change his face, his eyes were full of disbelief, but before he could say anything, he saw that several princes had walked out of the side door connecting the stables to the king's mansion. , directly invite the Yang brothers and sisters to enter here.

Farther away, seeing this scene, several provocative slaves were immediately startled and suspicious. Just as they were about to step back, several guards of the palace rushed out from the side door, pointed at them and said sharply: "Go forward yourself!" Bound, wait for your master to come and lure you after the banquet! If you dare to run away, you can run away from a lowly slave, but you cannot escape your master!"

When the few people heard this, their expressions became even paler, and they struggled in their hearts. After a while, they could only obediently go forward and be tied into the palace by the guards of the palace.

In the middle hall of the palace, a feast was going on, which was also part of the campaign for the Qujiangchi Gathering.Because Wu Youyi stayed behind in Xijing and planned this matter, Wu Youyi was also happy to see the momentum, and did not make things difficult for this, and even took the initiative to promote the flow of time in Xijing to the Wang residence.

Li Tong was watching a play in the hall, when he heard the doorman coming to tell the Yang brothers and sisters to come to the mansion, he asked his elder brother to treat the guests on his behalf, while he himself stood up and went to the side hall.

After entering the side hall, the brothers and sisters of the Yang family came forward to greet each other. Seeing Yang Xianzong's awkward posture, Li Tong couldn't help but smile when he remembered the scene of the brothers and sisters fighting on the plateau yesterday, but he still couldn't help laughing and said: "Neglect!" Family affairs should be punished. But Erlang still has affairs to deal with, so he should feel sorry for himself."

When the brother and sister heard this, they were both ashamed and didn't know how to answer.

"The door is private and easy, there is no need to be formal, just sit down."

Li Tong waved his hand, and sat down first: "Isn't Erlang allowed to take a short break for a few days? Is there any matter that is difficult to resolve?"

Yang Li took the lead in the banquet and said: "Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the king, the disputes that have been trapped in the family for a long time have finally been resolved. Enzhong dared not send a message, so he went to pay respects in person, and thank the king."

"A trivial matter is not worth remembering."

Li Tong said with a smile: "I'm an outsider, so I don't want to talk about it too much. But the twists and turns are hidden, and I can hear some of my family's words. The people in Sichuan are rich and generous. It's rare that your family is so business-minded and doesn't miss the old. Capital, willing to do ascetic business, transfer to Guanzhong. Words are selling business for profit, but it is also in line with the principle of losing both the surplus and the shortage.

People may shame the deeds of merchants, but it is inevitable to sit back and enjoy the success.As long as you can abide by business principles and don't violate laws and regulations, if there is any place in the world that you can't do, it's Wang Hua who can't be called serious enough! "

Hearing the young king's words, Yang Li couldn't help being grateful.Recently, she has experienced the cold and warm world, and it is difficult for her to be moved by words for a while, but when the words are spoken by the king, she feels extraordinarily touching.What's more, there are many people who wander around the rich and powerful, and there are many people who speak contemptuously and contemptuously. It is even rarer that the king is willing to face up to her family like the king.

She avoided the table and bowed respectfully again: "Driven by the family, working hard on the road, I don't dare to claim business righteousness. I just abide by the merits of long-term material resources and never violate the rules and rituals. Your Majesty enforces the justice, and the daughters of the people are very grateful." do."

"To be serious, I also saw your brother Shangyi's demeanor before I believed that your family is the door of dutiful etiquette. All businesses in Xijing are in business. If there are such leisure disturbances, the yamen officials will still ignore them. You can go to the government again and report."

When Li Tong asked Liu Youqiu to do something, he inquired about the situation of the Yang family by the way, and it basically met his requirements.

The family background of this family is relatively innocent. Of course, this innocence means that they have not had too close communication with the family in the current situation.The reason why his family is able to occupy a place among the Shu merchants is because the rural business has a solid operation and has mastered many Lingnan business channels.

This time, the trouble was that the parents died suddenly and were made things difficult by fellow villagers, and the person who made things difficult for his family, Li Tong also had the impression that it was the Shu merchant Song Bazi who had a close relationship with the two Zhang brothers in the late Wu Zhou Dynasty.However, the two Zhang brothers still don't know where they are playing with mud, and the Song Bazi's relationship is Wei Wang Wu Chengsi.

It is a relationship, but in fact, how can the family of merchants and the real dignitaries be on an equal footing, it is nothing more than this Song Bazi's beauty and dedication, and he is a favorite concubine of Wu Chengsi.But even so, it was already possible to fake the power of the tiger and suppress the output of the Yang family.

Wu Chengsi was very popular at the moment, he was both a prince and a prime minister, even Li Tong couldn't handle him, but he wasn't afraid of a merchant.What's more, now that others are in Xijing, and they interact closely with Wu Youyi, since they expressed the intention to intervene, these government officials in Xijing can naturally know the direction of the wind, and it is very clever to let the Yang family not help each other.

Hearing the king's gentle words, Yang Li's eyes were even redder. She took the brocade box from the maid's arms, and offered it with both hands: "People are far from home, and Xijing is especially dangerous. The women of the people have been making things difficult for them recently. Your Majesty Wang Liangjiao It is like sweet rain to comfort me. All the karma in Xijing are scattered by myself, but I can’t help you with a single word. Everyone knows that the king is fair, and all the property that was originally taken is returned. I know that this is not due to human feelings, but to the king’s teaching. Yes, you can accept it without hesitation!"

Li Tong raised his hand to take the brocade box, couldn't help but open it for a while to look through it, and his heart beat faster. The property certificate inside alone shows that the Yang family has rich financial resources in Xijing. Compared with Liu Youqiu's inquiring It's even thicker, no wonder people miss it.

If it is really gold and silver mountains in front of him, Li Tong is not sure whether he can bear it, but if it is just some land deeds, he is quite open-minded. He closed the brocade box and pushed it back with his hands: "Return to the original owner. Human kindness is simple and honest. Make things difficult for a while, don’t be world-weary, and keep your property safe, so don’t worry too much. I love human kindness and love me, and I don’t covet property and extravagances. It’s not hypocritical, your brother should see it.”

"I, I think it's better for the king to accept it! Maybe the family is not bad, but the use of the public is really bad. Before, for the sake of...the humble job, I sent letters to my family to ask for money. My sister blamed me. This is the old evil. .”

After Yang Xianzong heard the words, he opened his mouth and said: "Besides, these industries have already been scattered to other families. Without the care of the king, it would be even more difficult to collect them back. My family has a wealth of savings, and the local products are self-sufficient. These Xijing foreign products are not as beneficial to the whole family. Even if the king No, I want to accept it too!"

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help being a little moved. This is a good employee. He brought capital into the stock, contributed money and effort, and he couldn't refute the reasons he stated.Sure enough, children only do multiple-choice questions, and the king wants them all!

Chapter 0245 Qujiang Cherry Orchard

Although the Yang brothers and sisters spoke sincerely, Li Tong still did not accept the property contributed by Yang Li. The reason was very simple, he did not need this kind of contribution.

If it's just family wealth, he is not short of it. Among other things, the income from the [-] sealed households alone is enough to maintain his daily expenses.There are a lot of guests and gift goods coming in and out, if there is no fun in hoarding, his family's life is enough to maintain above most people in the world.

The morals of the world are accustomed to trends, and talent streams pay attention to their articles, and merchants seek favor with their goods. This is a custom that cannot be eradicated from ancient times to the present.No matter what Yang Li's intentions are, the nature of a businessman is Shangli.

Li Tong didn't force everyone to join him in the revolution. He wanted to create a long-term cooperative relationship with the Shu businessman Yang's family, so he had to draw a bottom line from the beginning. Don't make that kind of personal interest relationship of power and money transfer.

After all, even if he is asking for money, it is not for his own extravagant enjoyment. To put it a little bit selfish, he hopes that the change of dynasty can jump in the queue and take the lead. , Give some comfort to the poor people in this world.

And even if he collected these properties into the palace, they would soon be brought under surveillance, and it would no longer be easy to call them.

There are always eyes and ears in his palace. Li Tong knows this very well, and he doesn't want to screen out these eyes and ears. Although these eyes and ears monitor his daily behavior, they are also a kind of protection for him. outside the house.As long as one actively expands one's influence and makes one's misfortune and fortune related to the general trend, even if there are any minor mistakes that are usually monitored, it is not enough to shake his safety.

Yang Xianzong wanted to be more aware of the personnel structure under the king's command. Seeing that his cousin wanted to offer it forcefully, he simply took the brocade box and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, you will not take advantage of your family's personal favors, and your humble position will not disturb your Majesty. You must make proper arrangements."

He was originally one of the direct cases of the Wannian Branch of the Old Clothing Society, so when these industries were handed over to the branch, there would naturally be a special person in charge of coordinating them.In addition to Shangyi, this move is actually not lacking in private plans.

Yang Xianzong is very aware of the fact that the Guyi Club is now growing in strength. There are three major branches in Heluo, Hedong, and Qinyong, and there are eight branches below it, including Chang'an, Wannian, Luoyang, and Hegong, covering more than [-] people. , All three teachings and nine streams have influence between the two capitals.

Right now his family is donating the property in Xijing, which seems to be a generous donation, but in the long run, it will also connect his family with the behemoth of the Old Clothes Society, so that they can exchange what they have and benefit from each other.

The delivery of the property was not carried out by Li Tong in the mansion, but he still had to show that the Yang family donated a lot of property to help the old clothing club.After thinking about it, he raised his hand and ordered his family to fetch the deed of Qujiang Garden Industry sent by Wu Youyi, and presented it to the Yang brothers and sisters.
