Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Sitting on the carriage back to Wu County, Wang Xiujin told Li Sushan that he was going to build a very long wooden track, starting from the capital, passing through several big cities, and finally ending at Wu County.It's not that he specializes Wu County, but that Wu County can afford it.

"Of course I can afford it, not to mention how many famous ministers came out of Wu County, the workshops in Wu County alone can afford this wooden rail, but Wu County has been repaired, what about Qiucheng?" Li Xiujin felt the need to remind Look at Wang Xiujin.

"The autumn city is not suitable for building wooden rails. There are too many mountain roads, and they are too rough." Wang Xiujin directly rejected the proposal to build wooden rails in the autumn city. He will not blow up the mountains and dig tunnels. Wooden rails, what is the difference between that and building wooden rails across the country?How much money he has to put in, the emperor's words, he has to let go of the money, he is not a money-producing machine, and it is not right, it is his money-producing machine, but an inexhaustible gold mine.

Although Li Sushan didn't know much about these things, he felt that if Wang Xiujin said he couldn't, then he definitely couldn't.Li Sushan especially believed in Wang Xiujin. Yachang looked at his father and then at his younger father. Why did he feel that his father was being fooled by his younger father? Although there are various difficulties in repairing the wooden rails, if you want to repair it, it is not a big deal Big problem, little daddy just wants to reject the emperor.

After ten days, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan finally arrived in Wu County with their sons. The servants first sent the family of three to Wang's grain shop, and then drove to Wang Village. The housekeeper had to tidy up the yard, and Wang The house where the master lives has to be cleaned carefully, but the young master will live here for a few days.Wang Xiujin looked up at the plaque of the Wang Family Grain Shop, "Son, this is my father's first official shop. Before that, I set up a small stall and sold buns on the street in the morning. At that time, I was really poor." Liu Yunyun Looking back on the old days, I don't feel any bitterness, I just feel a little bit lucky.

When Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan arrived in Wu County, they didn't hide or conceal them. Soon the county officials got the letter and rushed over.Wang Xiujin bluntly said that he was just going back to his hometown to visit his relatives, and he stayed for a few days, so don't worry about others.The county magistrate responded again and again, and still passed the news to the prefect of Xiangcheng.The magistrate of Xiangcheng is a smart man. He said that he doesn't want to worry about others, but he doesn't want officials to come to his door. Before the emperor's business returns to Beijing, he will send some local products. The emperor had an impression of him.

When I returned to Wangcun, I was not disturbed by others, and I was very leisurely and contented. I walked around Wu County on weekdays, looked at the workshops, and then went to the grain shop. It was very worry-free. A kind of desire to retire, dissipate the wealth of the family to seek stability, and then buy a real estate on a hill, live a life of farming at sunrise and resting at sunset.This kind of life, I can only think about it, how can I live according to my own wishes in this world.Wang Xiujin shook his head. He has too many things to do. When he is older, he is a future generation. When he is younger, he is a family. No matter how hard and tired he is, he has to bite the bullet and stand up. Who told him that he is not a cruel person, and he can't do cruel things.

After staying in Wangcun for the seventh day, the two of them received a letter from the capital saying that the enemy army that invaded from the west was wiped out, the enemy army sent a prince to surrender, and the emperor ordered the emperor to return quickly. "What does the surrender of the enemy have to do with me?" Wang Xiujin couldn't help being surprised, and asked the housekeeper to bring some tea money to the clerk at the post station. After the clerk left, he asked questions.

"Maybe I want to discuss how much compensation I want?" Since Wang Xiujin asked the loser to pay compensation, the officials in Daliang clearly remembered that some adults disagreed with the previous incident of destroying the bandit country, and felt that there was no money to be made, but The emperor blamed Kou Guo for the Queen Mother's death, so he had to beat him.Like cleaning up the invading army, before dispatching troops, the opposing ministers basically had no experience of asking the defeated country for money, and if the minister who got the cheap money asked for it, whoever objected would wish to liquidate how much money the other party had early on. The other party's family was empty, so he didn't have to worry about running to Daliang.

"It's not that the household department is here. Those people are all better than me, so there's no need for me." Wang Xiujin shook his head and felt that it was unrealistic to ask him to discuss compensation. No matter how strange it was, he had to go back when the emperor summoned him.

No matter what Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan thought, they didn't think of the possibility of someone falsely preaching the imperial decree.It should be said that the person who did this was courageous enough to lure Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan back to Beijing by the fact that someone surrendered.

The two of them took Yachang into the carriage, because there were far more things to return to the capital than when they came, the county magistrate of Wu County discussed with the city guard and sent someone to escort the emperor back to Beijing.Wang Xiujin wanted to refuse, but Li Sushan didn't think so. They really had a lot of things, and they needed some help to take care of them. They brought servants to Wu County, and they didn't have much force value. .

The city guard sent a team of more than a dozen people to follow, and told them to protect the Emperor Shang thoroughly.Departing from Wu County, the journey was staggering, much slower than when he came here. Wang Xiujin yawned, staring dazedly with a bad premonition. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't Where is the problem.

Yachang slept soundly with her little daddy's lap on her pillow, Li Sushan sat next to the groom and drove the carriage, and Wang Xiujin was stroking his son's hair, all the while struggling with weirdness in his mind.

The one who lied to Wang Xiujin to return to the capital and wanted to take Wang Xiujin's life was the very forbearing ritual official.When it comes to people, you can't push them too hard, because if you push them too hard, your personality will change drastically.Being kicked out of the Ministry of Rites by the Shangshu, the ceremonial officer was naturally upset in his heart. Don't look at his usual respectful appearance to everyone, but in fact he has a very high spirit in his heart. He doesn't like this or that. The good friends, on the surface, get along well, but they still have to hide everything. Now they are kicked out of the yamen, and there is no glory on the face. Do not accept him.

Although he was holding an official position, but because he couldn't touch his mouth, he naturally lost his official position after a few days, he was Bai Ding.The ceremonial officer was not born in the imperial examination, but he joined the Ministry of Rites after following the path of Mr. Xuetang. If he went to find Mr., Mr. would be powerless, and it was a pity.The Li Guan's family also has some skills. The Li Guan used to look down on those families in his family, and he only wanted to study to seek an official position, but he took part in the imperial examinations again and again, so he was called a scholar. He wanted to be an official far away!Fortunately, I had a good relationship with my husband when I was studying, so my husband entrusted his former students to find a job for him.

Before the ceremony officer went to greet the triumphant return of the army, it really made the gentleman look good. He felt that this student would definitely catch the eyes of the fourth prince, and he might not be able to make a big difference in the future. However, after a few days, the student was dismissed. I was rushed out, and after asking the reason carefully, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the student.The relationship between the two is good, one is temper, the other is money, and the third is common interests.For someone like Li Guan who looks down on his family and wholeheartedly seeks an official, even if the family paves the way for him, he will not invest too much. Thinking that he will not pass the exam, he can sit at home with peace of mind.As for the common good?That's even more impossible. According to the temperament of the ritual officer, the first one can be met.

The husband looks down on people who do business, and he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the imperial merchants. It's just that he doesn't have that much ability to check and balance with the imperial merchants, so he can only suppress his unhappiness.To put it bluntly, I dare not offend anyone.Hearing that the student was cleared out by the Ministry of Rites because he failed to find the whereabouts of the imperial merchant, the gentleman was naturally dissatisfied, following the student's anger, he cursed a few words behind his back, and then asked someone to inquire about it. So the emperor and his husband took their children back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and then went south to Wu County to check the property.

In the eyes of the husband and the ceremony officer, Wang Xiujin was playing with them on purpose, which made him even more angry. The ceremony officer felt aggrieved. He had never been so aggrieved since he did not take the imperial examination. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he pinned all the faults on Huang Shang's head, he wished for him to disappear.The ritual officer thought so, and was going to do the same.

To say that the ritual officer has some brains, he knows that what he does must be clean, and he must not show the slightest trace, otherwise his family will be affected.The official of ceremonies first went to investigate who the imperial merchants brought back to their hometown. After learning that it was only a few servants, the official of ceremonies calculated how many people he brought to kill those people in one fell swoop.At this time, it happened that someone came to Beijing to surrender, so the ceremonial officer wrote a letter with his left hand, hired someone to deliver the letter to the post station, and then led him to ambush on the mountain where bandits used to haunt, as long as Wang Xiujin and the others passed by , Throwing stones first, archery.But he made thousands of calculations, and he didn't count that there were soldiers escorting Huang Shang and his party back to Beijing, so the ritual officer could only suppress all actions.He watched the carriage pass by helplessly.

Li Sushan felt something was wrong after the carriage entered the boundary, and Wang Xiujin in the carriage also felt that something was wrong, as if someone was staring at him, but he didn't find anything special when he looked out from the curtain of the carriage, but his heart was full of suspense. Suspended, this feeling is only felt when I experienced the end of the world in my previous life, when I was close to danger.

Touching the arm with the hairs on the back, he prayed in his heart that nothing happened, but he obviously felt that the speed of the carriage was faster, and it seemed that Li Sushan also felt that something was wrong.After a while, Li Sushan entered the car, "There may be people on the mountain, but I don't know how many. It's not clear whether the other party is targeting us or the bandits nearby."

"Father, are you going to clean up the robbers? Can I participate?" Yachang, who was lying down and sleeping, immediately sat up, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Children join in the fun, you have to wait a few more years if you want to get ahead." Wang Xiujin poked his son's forehead, and then looked at Li Sushan, afraid that Li Sushan would say yes.

"We have a lot of things, let's take a look first. If they don't move, we won't move either. We can rush to the next city before dark, and let the local city guard bring people over."
