Chapter 178: You can go back to Jian'an

A big flood caused a good card for the wealthy families in Chang'an City. Those who actively responded to the donation, without exception, gained reputation, some gained reputation; some received a name from the government; some donated a lot, and those with students at home were also given a background. If they did not participate in the Changju, they could also go to the Ministry of Personnel to queue for the vacant outflow location. In this big flood, many officials fell out. Those officials who failed to repair water conservancy on weekdays were punished. Are there any qualifying people? Scold and punished a few words, and the salary for several months was calculated. Those who were outflowing were miserable. Many outflow officials in charge of water conservancy became the scapegoats of Shangguan and were pulled down a lot, so this time

The vacancies suddenly increased. Therefore, if they felt that they had no background and had no outstanding talents and talent, they gave up the opportunity to participate in the Changju and waited for the officials early. What they thought was that they had to go out first and slowly endured. They would eventually be able to get the top one day. If they participated in the Changju, who would know if they could win? If they didn't win, they would lose the current great opportunity here, wouldn't it be even more a loss? Besides, even if they won the Changju, those who didn't have a background at home would have to start from the outflow? They only had to win the third grade and had to be appreciated by His Majesty. There were some people in the family who could be granted the title of the ninth rank. Such people were rare and rare.

There are even merchants, because the number of donations is close to that of the Demon King Cheng and Old Yuchi, and no one in the family is studying, Li Shimin simply granted them a title. All merchants or rich people who donated receive tax reduction and exemption. Some are exempted for one year and some are exempted for half a year, and all are exempted for half a year. They are all exempted for the number of donations on the merit monuments reported by various places. I don’t know whether the Jiang family in Jinling guessed that the waterlogging resistance method was the shadow of Wang Kuang or the Buddhists had hints or that they were kind-hearted. The Jiang family actually donated the most in the two Jiangnan provinces. Almost every affected county around Jinling has the Jiang family’s position on the merit monument. Although their ranking on each monument is not prominent, it is much higher than the second donation in total, and their assets are beyond the top ten in Jiangnan provinces.

After Li Shimin learned about the Jiang family's actions, he liked them. He also received the advice of Changsun Wuji and Fang Du. He wanted to set the Jiang family as an example. In addition, he wanted to show off his words of "Scholar's Poster" and made great progress. He had to write a plaque for the Jiang family. Old Man Fang was very cunning and said that it would be better to write one again based on the name of Xingjun Restaurant. In this way, the name of the store with the imperial pen is written, and the Jiang family's business will be easier to do. If the business is easy to do, the money will naturally be more profitable and the money will be made. Then, if there are natural disasters in the future, will the Jiang family play a good leading role for the people of the world?

When Li Laoer heard this, he said, it was so reasonable. So a few months later, the Jinling Xingjun Restaurant changed into a plaque written by a golden imperial pen, and there was a dragon and a tiger next to the four words Xingjun Restaurant. Suddenly, Xingjun Restaurant sat on the seat of the No. 1 Restaurant in Yangzhou overnight. Moreover, Jiang Hong actually got the position of a pavilion leader of the sixth grade, which was equivalent to becoming an official. Fortunately, Jiang Hong has many brothers. Since he was the eldest son, he could no longer inherit the family industry, so his younger brother inherited it. Anyway, inheritance is just a concealment of words. If he distributed dividends at the end of the year, he would not be missing him.

As for those who were washed down, except for the officials who showed that they were not doing their jobs before, they were all merchants who took the opportunity to raise prices. Some of them lost all their money from now on, and some of them had not lost much, but they had registered in the government office since then. Anything that violated the rules would be closely watched by the yamen. This is secondary. As long as they abide by the law and discipline from now on, there would be no place to find fault in the yamen. What's bad is that they have not been able to do business so smoothly since then. They want to borrow money and turnover to find money. They have no way to pay for the goods for a while without money. When they ask for a door, they either stayed in the door or said coldly: It seems that such a loving person has done such a thing as a robbery, and they dare not make friends.

Even ordinary people, who know that a certain family has participated in price gouging, almost never go to their shops, but specialize in shops of merchants who are actively donating money and grain. The idea of ​​these people is very simple. What should these people who actively help them make more money on weekdays? The key is that they make money. If there are any natural disasters and man-made disasters on one day, they will still donate generously. As for those who raise prices, what should they do to make so much money? When they have the opportunity in the future, they will raise prices? They will not be the one who is stabbed by neighbors. Therefore, after this flood,

Some shops in Chang'an have undergone a major reversal. Some of them used to be crowded, but now they are deserted and have become bustling. Even the remote shops are quite popular. The Jian'an snack shop in the East City has also flourished because of this active donation. The business in the East City was originally in the East City, and now it is even more crowded. Not long after, the shopkeeper actually opened another Jian'an snack in the West City. On the day of opening, he came to Lin's house to invite Lin Han to attend. Wang Kuang was already on the way back to Jian'an at that time.

Therefore, these merchants who participated in price gouging gradually began to lose their families in less than a long time, and the ones with the most wealthy assets only lasted for a few years. In the end, they had to move out of their families and hide in remote places to find another way out.

Of course, the above are not mentioned later.

Although the flood problem was quickly calmed down, there was still a lot of finishing work to be done in the future. The states were different from Chang'an, so the situation reported below was one after another. Li Laoer was busy rewarding and scolding, and was busy giving rewards to those who had already received it. Later, there were additional rewards from those who had reported it. There were also local water conservancy problems exposed by this flood that needed to be solved, what was arranged for money and grain, dispatched labor, and what officials adjusted, etc.

Fortunately, he was not an authoritarian person. Many small rewards and other small matters were handed over to the departments below to handle. Only those who were great and demerited and involved a lot of money, grain and labor would he intervene from beginning to end. Otherwise, it would be estimated that the rewards and punishments of these hundreds of thousands of people and the dispatch of hundreds of thousands of labor would be exhausted. This was a long time since autumn began to fall, and the weather was getting colder. Then he remembered that there was another Xuan Delang who was dragged to Chang'an and did not go back.

The old man Laiying and some other people summoned the consultations with Empress Changsun, saying that the queen was in good health and was much better than last year. Xuan Delang's method was indeed effective, so he gave Wang Kuang an oral argument that he could leave for Jian'an at any time.

Originally, Old Man Ying and the others wanted to rush Li Lao Er to stay Wang Kuang for a few days, because Wang Kuang's master had not appeared yet? He had to let the person go, and it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future. But Li Lao Er did not take this set. Since the queen's condition has stabilized and has been much better, he no longer had any high requirements. Even those who are known as the old gods cannot make a living. I guess Wang Erlang's master is useless. Besides, as the saying goes, the disease comes like a mountain and goes like a silk thread. As long as the disease begins to improve, there will always be a day. Because the old gods said this, this disease is better to cure than to raise it. Isn't it the method of nourishing now? It is three parts poisonous to medicine. This method without medicine is much better than the medicine of the wolf and tiger.

Wang Erlang is now sick and needs to go back to Jian'an for recuperation. Jian'an is the most suitable place for Wang Erlang. Li Laoer is a little reluctant to let Wang Kuang go now, and has not dug enough good things. Therefore, he let Wang Kuang go very happily and rewarded two good horses for Wang Kuang. Of course, Xu Guoxu helped Wang Kuang pick, and they all chose a variety of horses. Unfortunately, there were no sweaty horses that Wang Kuang had always wanted. How could there be no sweaty horses in the horse garden? That was when Li Laoer knew that if Xu Guoxu saw it, he would definitely lead Wang Kuang, so he sent someone to prison early and not to take it away. What a joke? There were only a dozen horses in total, but they still used the lives of countless soldiers to exchange them for it. How could he give it so easily? Li Laoer was also counting on these dozen horses to breed a large group.

Wang Kuang had already returned home, but he couldn't leave immediately now. There was a nail in his heart that had been stabbed and not pulled out, which made him really worried.

During this period, Huang Da and Miao Wu kept staring at the fat man in turn, but the fat man didn't make any noise. He stayed in the house all day and rarely went out. Even the food was served nearby and he ordered a restaurant to deliver it to him. He didn't see him looking for anyone, and no one came to find him.

After Huang Da and Miao Wu hurried away that day, Miao Wu came back and reported that the fat man was still at home and had not gone out. Wang Kuang was much relieved. He didn't lose his companionship. Unless the fat man had the skill of scythe like Huang Da, it would definitely not be possible to go there and come back in such a short time. There was no wireless communication technology at this time, so the people behind him would definitely not be able to estimate the time when the fat man went back so accurately.

Then, there is only one possibility. The fat man behind him knows that Wang Kuang has a good bus with several small countries. He knows that if Wang Kuang is aware of it, he will definitely join forces with several nationalities to "encircle and suppress him". Or, the other party is really careful and would rather lurk than act rashly, and not leave any clues to Wang Kuang. In other words, he is very afraid of Wang Kuang's case that Wang Kuang is still in Chang'an. Therefore, the best way is to leave Chang'an early so that the other party can reveal his appearance. However, the other party has made great calculations, but he did not calculate that the so-called Wang Kuang has master, which is simply a play directed and acted by Old Man Ying and Li Laoer. He borrowed Wang Kuang's "sickness" and promoted it. Although these people are acting

But from the bottom of his heart, they didn't think that they were acting. Their purpose was to catch Wang Kuang's master, the big fish. The old man Ying and the other men pretended to be sick because of his little selfishness. Therefore, only Wang Kuang himself knew whether Wang Kuang had a master. Just Wang Kuang himself and Old Man Ying knew that Wang Kuang had an illness. Even Li Lao Er believed that Wang Kuang had a hidden illness. Because of this, the other party would make a fuss in the Lin Mansion and say that Wang Kuang had no doubts about his care and went out to play and recuperate, so he sent the fat man to pretend. Otherwise, if the fat man stayed in the house for one or two months without any movement, the other party's arrangement was extremely cautious. How could he make such a low-level mistake?

Wang Kuang was going to leave, but he had to arrange it before leaving. Huang Da couldn't stay in Chang'an, so he wanted to follow Wang Xian to take care of him. In Wang Kuang's heart, thousands of magnitudes were not as good as Wang Xian's safety. Without Wang Xian, Wang Kuang would have long become a lonely ghost floating in which corner of the universe. If Li Laoer knew about Tian Huang and used Wang Xian to threaten Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang would have given up Tian Huang without hesitation and chose Wang Xian. If Wang Kuang was young in later generations, he might have hesitated, but with more and more experiences, family affection has firmly occupied the most important position.

Fortunately, Miao Wu was once the captain of the scout team, and many of his brothers are now working in wealthy families in Chang'an. After Miao Wu's selection and with the help of Cheng Chumo, Wang Kuang helped to buy the deeds of several of them, so that these people would follow Miao Wu and hand over their deeds to Miao Wu in front of these people. He said that it was up to Miao Wu to decide. If he performed well, he would return the deeds to him. The rest of the people would definitely return the contract when Wang Kuang came to Chang'an again. As for their freedom, they would like to continue to follow.

Miao Wu's, that's welcome. Anyway, Wang Kuang can have his own private soldiers now. No one dares to say anything about recruiting so many people. As for what he wants to keep these people in Chang'an, that's reasonable. Chang'an has his own Wang Kuang's property, so a few people have to stay there to guard it? There are only five or six people, which is far from the upper limit of the twenty private soldiers that Wang Kuang can recruit. Which noble family really only recruits private soldiers that he allows. Basically, those who are allowed to have fifty private soldiers will recruit seventy or eighty people. If you exceed the amount, you will have a family member's identity.

These people are all from the army. Some of the tracking and exploration methods in the army are still different from those in private. They have to be trained by Huang Da for a period of time. This is just like the scouts in the army. If you want them to be spies, you have to go through training. It is not that they cannot do it, but that their contacts are different.

Ding Buquan was taken away by Cen Yuzi, saying that if something happened in the future, Ding Buquan stayed in Tangxing, he could also communicate with Jian'an or even Chang'an in time. After all, if Ding Buquan ran to Duke Lu's mansion to find someone, the people in the mansion were all old people, and they recognized it, so they would be convenient to find it, so they would not be stopped outside. If it was not important, it would be a waste of things. Of course, this was also the reason for giving Ding Buquan a chance to stand out. If he could do it well, he would be a filial and honest person, and with Wang Kuang's connections now, it would not be

What a difficult thing? Of course, if you don’t have any connections and want to be a filial and honest person? That’s a huge difficulty. From Baozheng to Lizheng to the county and then to the state, you have to check it out layer by layer. After that, you have to send someone to review it. As long as there are one or two people who say you are not good, you will have to be ruined. Of course, Cen Yuzi also made a promise. Ding Buquan was in Tang Xing. Except for something important that he needs to contact, he doesn’t have to worry about other things. He just needs to read his books with peace of mind. If he wants to take the exam, he will take the exam. No one will stop him. If he can’t pass the exam, he will think about other mistakes, and his family will follow him.

There are still many things that need to be dealt with. When Li Lao Er asked him to leave, Wang Kuang began to regret why he didn't finish it earlier. But no matter how much he regretted it, the progress of many things was not something he could control. For example, Qin Huaiyu, can he control when he returned to Chang'an? That guy happened to come back at the most chaotic time in Chang'an, and when he came back, he grabbed Old Man Ying to see him. The original literary person was like another Yuchi Baolin when he grabbed Old Man Ying. Cheng Chumo next to him always thought that he was confused. It was Gui Jianchou Yuchi Baolin who was dressed up.

It was not until Wang Kuang said that he had no problem and would have returned to Jian'an. Qin Huaiyu let the old man Ying go, and turned around and began to ask about what Wang Kuang had about Tian Qi. He was very curious about how Wang Kuang knew so much about Tian Qi. According to Wang Kuang's previous description of his unsure tone, Qin Huaiyu was sure that he had never seen what Tian Qi looked like before, but when he arrived at Liuzhao, he found that Tian Qi looked exactly the same as what Wang Kuang described. He also learned from the local Miao people that he had never seen any eminent monks and great masters come to Miaoshan in recent years. If there were any, unless he did not contact the locals, he would have been invited to the village as a guest of honor.

Therefore, Qin Huaiyu had reason to believe that Wang Kuang must have something hidden from him. When asked about Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang naturally refused to say a word: "I am not that great master. How can I know if he has been there? How can I know when he went there? If you want to ask, go find him."

Since he couldn't find out why, Qin Huaiyu had to throw this aside. Because Tian Qi was told by Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang could not ignore it before Tian Qi's utility experiment was released. So during this period, he was annoyed by Old Man Ying, who came to the door in just a few days. Old Man Ying turned around and said that it was just asking Wang Kuang's master to take action. But where did Wang Kuang get his master? But it was hard to deny it. This mystery was just for them to guess. The more suspicions, the more beneficial it would be to Wang Kuang, and the fool would deny it.
