Yang Heshu had been waiting for them in the mansion in advance. When they arrived at the door, they saw him and Ms. Cui standing at the door holding a child.

Man Bao lightly kicked the horse's belly, sped up and rushed up. After dismounting, he laughed loudly and greeted them, "Xuexiong Yang, Xuesao Cui, ah, this is Brother Qi, right?"

Brother Qi can already walk and talk, but he seems to be very shy. When he saw Man Bao squatting and talking to him, he blushed and hid behind his father in embarrassment.

But halfway through hiding, he remembered what his father and mother had taught him, that he should be generous when talking to others and not hide, so he poked his head out from behind his father's thigh.

Not only Man Bao, but also Bai Shan and the others felt their hearts melt when they saw it. They especially wanted to reach out and pinch his chubby face.

Mrs. Yang seemed to see what they were thinking, and immediately hugged her son in her arms, smiled and said sideways: "The kitchen has prepared lunch for you, let's go in and eat first."

But after they actually entered, they followed the servants to the courtyard where they lived, freshened up first, and then dug out the gifts they had brought for Yang Heshu and Cui.

Ms. Cui couldn't help but laugh when she saw what they had in their hands, "You're not in a hurry right now, why don't you have a meal first and then pack your luggage?"

Man Bao said: "We are not very hungry yet."

Yang Heshu said with a smile: "They want to show off. In this case, let's see what you brought back first. I heard from Wan Tian that you have twelve cars with luggage, which is comparable to a large caravan.

Already."

Bai Shan: "There are so many of us. In addition to our own guards, there are also many soldiers."

Yang Heshu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not like I've never seen an envoy before. They bring a lot of people with them. But in addition to some gifts given to the envoy, there are also tributes to be taken when returning home. Who will accompany them?"

Did the mission bring so many things?"

He said: "The things in your fleet are all the goods you brought back, right?"

Man Bao immediately said: "Not only ours, but also other people's. Nie Canjun also has many."

Yang Heshu was happy for a moment, and then said: "Let's find a chance to take action in Xiazhou. At least we can't bring so many things back to the capital. Don't forget that although you are a casual person, you have many of your own guards, but you are

You have official positions and missions. If you bring such a long convoy into the capital, be careful that you are flooded with information from the Yushitai. Even Lord Tang will impeach you."

Thinking of Mr. Old Tang, Man Bao felt a chill go down his spine and looked at Mr. Zhuang with some uncertainty, "Will they really impeach me?"

Mr. Zhuang also hesitated, "That's not it. It's normal to bring extra luggage when you go out, and it's also common to bring home some local specialties."

It is normal for some poor officials to bring some goods for sale when traveling between two places. At that time, Magistrate Fu of Luojiang County often did such a thing.

Yang Heshu then whispered: "General Ashina returned to the capital ten days ago. His Majesty was very happy. Within three days, the gold, silver and jewelry collected by General Ashina from the Western Regions were also sent to the capital together with the book. Your Majesty immediately

We will hold a court meeting to discuss merits and rewards."

He said: "It goes without saying that General Ashina and the Western Expedition Army that he accepted, even his son Guo Zhao, who was implicated because General Guo lost the city, was promoted to half a rank, and General Ashina said, take the

The first achievements of the Kucha Royal City were Bai Shan and Man Bao."

Yang Heshu looked at Bai Shan and Zhou Man with a smile and said, "His Majesty praised you again and again at the court meeting in front of all the officials. He also heard from General Ashina that you have obtained the method of vaccination with cowpox this time, so you have been allowed to do so.

The Ministry of Rites and Tai Hospital are looking forward to receiving you."

"As a result, the Ministry of Rites and the Taiyuan Hospital waited and waited, and Your Majesty also waited for you for several days, but you were nowhere to be seen. I just received a letter from Zhihe yesterday, saying that His Majesty is not angry when he mentions you now. Even the Ministry of Rites

They all have a lot of resentment.”

Several people:……

Man Bao turned to look at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan turned to look at Bai Erlang, one after another, and finally saw Yin He, who said nonchalantly: "Look at what I'm doing, it's not like I'm going to take a detour to dig up flowers.

It’s not that I want to take a detour to see a lake that looks like the moon, nor that I chase a sheep that looks different from ordinary sheep for a long time..."

Bai Shan and Man Bao felt guilty when they heard this, and even Mr. Zhuang felt guilty because he wanted to see the lake that looked like the moon.

Mr. Zhuang coughed lightly and said to Manbao and the others: "Then you will sell these things in Xiazhou? Take out the things you brought for your relatives and friends. For the rest, if the price is okay, sell them to the merchants here.

."

Man Bao was reluctant to part with it. They finally brought it back. They could sell it at a higher price in the capital.

Bai Shan was reluctant to give up, so he asked: "Senior Brother Yang, are Brother Zhou and the others in Xiazhou City?"

Yang Heshu glanced at him approvingly and said, "Chou Zhoulang is not here, but Xiang Mingxue and Zhou Lijun are."

Having said this, he smiled and said to Man Bao: "Your niece is no worse than your fourth brother. As far as I know, in the past six months, she has been responsible for your family's business in Xiazhou.

In order to take care of the business, your fourth brother occasionally goes for a walk on the grassland. After the goods are brought back to Xiazhou, someone will transport them back. If the Chinese New Year is not coming soon, your fourth brother must go back. I am afraid he will also stay in Xiazhou and wait for you.

of."

The reason why Yang Heshu knew this was because Zhou Lang would always say hello to him when he left, so as not to miss the news about Man Bao.

After all, the information in the officialdom is much better informed than their own.

The second reason is because he has another collaboration with Zhou Lang.

There are many ethnic groups on the grassland, including Turks, Tiele people, Xianbei people...and because they don't have much sense of belonging to the imperial court and His Majesty, there are many problems.

Zhou Lang often goes in and out of the grassland and can get a lot of news from the bottom, so they have communication.

Moreover, he also hoped that Zhou Lang would bring in some goods and not bring in any goods.

Because of the city's closure, the relationship between Yang Heshu and the locals in Xiazhou is somewhat complicated. It has been basically balanced at present. Ordinary people can't see anything about it and basically agree with him as the new governor. However, the local powerful officials and big businessmen are not aware of it.

There are still some problems.

Therefore, those who Yang Heshu can trust and can use are external forces such as Zhou Lang.

Yang Heshu smiled and said: "I have sent people to tell your niece...and niece-in-law that they may not be in Xiazhou City at the moment, and they will definitely come to you when they come back. You can discuss how to deal with these goods.

"

After speaking, he added: "You have just arrived in Xiazhou now. Now that the New Year is about to come, do you want to celebrate the New Year in Xiazhou or go back to celebrate the New Year?"
