Chapter 406: Turf Grabbing in the School Yard (Part I)
Liu Han got off the bus halfway, stood in the alley for a while, and turned around and left after confirming that he was not tracked. .』.
After wandering around the alley for a long time, and then walking out of the alley, he had changed into a sackcloth robe, with a long beard under his chin, his eyes became smaller, and his face became longer, and he became a different person altogether.
Liu Han didn't go to Youfeng Laiyi, but went to the small courtyard outside Qingyuan Guan, and stayed quietly in that courtyard for a night.
In the afternoon of the next day, he returned to Youfeng Laiyi with a load of tea, and before he entered the door, his sister-in-law was busy at the door.
"You've been gone for days, and there's no letter. The sister-in-law of the Fan family said and took off the burden: "Why didn't I find a porter, so I picked it up myself." ”
"Alas, business has not been good lately, so if you can do it yourself, you can do it yourself. Liu Han's expression was a little bitter, in the past, he hired a porter to carry it back, but today he forgot it in a hurry.
"By the way, sister-in-law, what Brother Fan said last time," Liu Han said with some embarrassment: "I'm not late." ”
"It's better to be late," the sister-in-law of the Fan family was very unhappy, and said with a spit: "That dead ghost, on a good day, you have to get something out, and you still have the face to ask your brother for help." ”
As she was talking, Zhang Mei and Zuo Lan came out, the sister-in-law of the Fan family hurriedly stopped, and Liu Han also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no delay.
Zhang Mei complained and took things, Liu Han still carried things in by himself, and the rest was carried in by Zhang Mei and Zuo Lan, when they entered the house, Yu Mei also came over, it was just noon, and there were no guests in the teahouse, which made Liu Han slightly disappointed, this Qiu Ge should not be enthusiastic for three days.
Yu Mei saw that his expression was slightly dissatisfied, Liu Han didn't care, and asked Zhang Mei to collect the tea, Zuo Lan was busy cooking, Yu Mei said hello and went to the dyeing workshop, and soon he and Zhang Mei were left in the house.
The two of them talked, Zhang Mei briefly talked about the recent situation, it was actually simple, there was nothing in the store, but Fan Ju asked several times. Liu Han asked Qiu Ge in a low voice if he had ever come, Zhang Mei couldn't help but be happy, and told him that he had only come in the morning, and he often brought a group of scholars over to recite poems here, and there were a lot of poems and paintings in the store, and business was much better because of this.
Liu Han first smiled when he heard this, and then frowned, Zhang Mei was a little puzzled: "Master, what's the matter? Isn't this good? Our business is several times better, you noon, by the afternoon, the store must be full." ”
Liu Han shook his head lightly: "Business is good, but what is our store for?" Fang Gang Leader doesn't know why there is no news, alas, we are a secret rudder, there are too many people, it is not necessarily good." ”
Zhang Mei snorted lightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "This gang leader is really good, let us set up a secret rudder, and then leave it alone, I don't care, it's best to leave things on the rivers and lakes alone." ”
"As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, it is so easy to get out," Liu Han sighed: "Besides, let's not care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, don't the rivers and lakes care about us? Some time ago, how did you and Senior Sister Yu get injured, alas, that's it." ”
Zhang Mei also sighed softly, Liu Han's heart moved, and asked, "What have they been talking about in the past few days?"
Zhang Mei thought for a while and said: "It seems that they are talking about knocking on the palace, they are fighting fiercely, some people are accusing Qiu Gongzi, and some people are helping Qiu Gongzi to say." ”
Liu Han smiled and shook his head lightly: "I didn't know before I entered the city, three thousand scholars knocked on the palace, the emperor was angry, you, you don't know in the city, these news can be passed on to the Fang Gang Master, and the Fang Gang is the main news like this." ”
Liu Han said and entered the house, quickly wrote a letter, and then translated it into a password, this password is very simple, it is a Taoist dictionary, translating the words on it into numbers, such a simple password must be garbage in the previous life, and it will not take much time to be deciphered, but in this era, it is a creation, not to mention others, even if it is a domestic guard, it is difficult to crack.
After he finished translating the letterhead, he tore it into several sheets, rolled it into a small paper roll, and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube, Zhang Mei had already done everything, Zuo Lan also cooked the meal, Liu Han handed the things to Zhang Mei and asked her to send them out in the evening.
Before she finished eating, she heard a commotion in front of her, Zhang Mei chuckled slightly, Zuo Lan's face turned red, she bit her red lip lightly, glared at Liu Han coquettishly, turned around and went out, Liu Han was inexplicable, thought about it and understood, Lan's back smiled.
"All the new tea in the warehouse today is fragrant and delicious," Liu Han pondered for a moment and said slyly: "Do you say that the price of our tea should be raised." ”
Zhang Mei rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Master, you are really a profiteer." ”
Liu Han's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "What a gut!
As soon as he said and pulled Zhang Mei's hand, Zhang Mei fell into his arms, Liu Han put her on his lap and slapped her on the ass a few times, Zhang Meijiao couldn't stop crying, the two of them made a fuss for a while, Liu Han let her go, lay on her back on the chair, Zhang Mei was slightly disappointed.
"Master, do you want to go to bed?"
Liu Han got up and got into bed with a slight hesitation, took off his coat, pulled it over the thin quilt, and then asked, "Is there anything going on with Brother Fan?"
"No, just ask when you'll be back. Zhang Mei said, Liu Han hummed softly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep slowly.
Zhang Mei sat on the edge of the bed, stupid, for a while, before getting up to leave, when her back just disappeared, Liu Han opened her eyes and looked at the top of the bed.
Zuo Lan was still behind the counter, expressionless group of scholars, these scholars accounted for almost half of the teahouse, each of them was in front of a cup of tea and two plates of dried fruits, and there was also a plate of plum cake made of Zuolan.
Qiu Ge frothed at the mouth, standing in the middle of everyone, quite a bit of pointing at the country, and occasionally threw a wink at Zuo Lan in the middle.
"I thought that this time the three thousand scholars knocked on the palace, the name is not right, so it is not good, Zhao Zhi committed suicide, on the surface it is to pay off the debt, but in fact poverty is the root," Qiu Ge's voice was loud: "There are two kinds of salaries for officials in this dynasty, the local government is the salary field, and the central government is the salary, but whether it is the field or the salary, it was set a hundred years ago, and the price has risen several times, and the salary or salary cannot meet the living needs of the officials, so what the imperial court should do is to adjust the salary of officials." ”
"Adjust the salary?" to put it lightly," Lu Xiu shook his head on the side: "The imperial treasury is empty, so the silver will raise the salary of hundreds of officials, and the officials of various states and counties can quietly expand their positions, but the officials in the capital have no choice but to live on the imperial court's salary, but in recent years, the imperial court's salary has often not been released on time, and the imperial court has paid off the debt, which is a proper move, and it cannot be said to be wrong." ”
If Liu Han was here, he would definitely be able to conclude that the act of knocking on the palace was also different in Shilin, and the scholars here were not in favor of knocking on the palace and supported the court to settle the debt.
"Alas, I am rich in the world, but I can't even pay a few salaries for officials, it's really a sigh, where is all the wealth in the world?" Le Fan sighed and said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and the delicate figure on Qiu Ge's left and right was behind the counter, focusing on embroidering with his head down, as if he didn't hear what they were talking about.
Qiu Ge has a sense of frustration in his heart, he has tried several ways, a few days ago he talked about books and poems here every day, leaving a lot of ink treasures, Zuo Lan was unmoved, neither happy nor sad, his expression was always faint, the paintings he made, the poems he wrote, were also carefully framed, and hung in the store, and now the walls of the store are full of masterpieces of talented people.
Just thinking about it, He attracted Zuo Lan's attention, and a woman stepped in from outside the door, Qiu Ge knew that it was the woman of the Fan family next door.
"Lanzi, are you in charge?"
Zuo Lan looked up at her sister-in-law and nodded slightly: "Rest in the room, Sister Meizi is inside." ”
The sister-in-law of the Fan family hurried in without waiting for her to finish, Qiu Ge's heart moved, he had come so many times, he had only seen the owner of this shop once or twice, and he had never seen a straight face, thinking of this, he got up and wanted to come out.
"Brother Qiu, I'm worried about the salt policy reform in Yangzhou," Lu Xiu said: "The salt policy has always been in charge of the imperial court, and now it is handed over to the merchants, who have always valued profits over righteousness, and if the price of salt rises because of this, the people of Li will suffer again." ”
"Salt policy reform," Qiu Ge said after a slight hesitation: "Actually, it is a good thing for me to reform the salt policy, now the price of salt is not low, the price of official salt is not expensive, and it is shoddy,..."
At this moment, Qiu Ge, a tall middle-aged man, came out of it, the sister-in-law of the Fan family whispered beside the person, the middle-aged man nodded from time to time, the two of them hurriedly walked in a hurry, and when they arrived at the store, the middle-aged man gave a few words to Zuo Lan, and then went out with the sister-in-law of the Fan family.
When the face of the person was a person, Qiu Ge felt very unfamiliar, but after the middle-aged man went out, the shadow, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and he felt that this back was somewhat familiar.
.....
Of course Liu Han was ge, but he didn't care, the sister-in-law of the Fan family came to tell him that he would go to the east school field immediately, Fan Shou sent someone back to pass the word, the time has not changed, and he will fight in the east school field this afternoon.
Liu Han asked, and the sister-in-law of the Fan family told him that because he didn't know when Liu Han would come back, Fan Ju decided to discuss with the other party and postpone the duel time by three days, maybe the other party's invitation to help the fist did not arrive, anyway, the other party agreed, according to the delay of three days, it should be tomorrow, but for some reason, the other party suddenly notified that it would be carried out this afternoon, if Fan Ju and they did not agree, the other party would give up the duel, and both sides would rely on their strength.
After discussing with them, they decided to fight, and the two sides chose the east campus.
When the sister-in-law of the Fan family learned about it, she immediately rushed to inform Liu Han and asked Liu Han to hurry up to the East Campus.
Liu Han called a carriage in front of the City God Temple and hurried to the east school field.
The east school field, in fact, is in the southeast of the city, the emperor has three school fields, the inner city has one, in the south of the inner city, known as the inner school field, which belongs to the forbidden army, and the east and west school fields belong to the city guards.
The imperial capital with a population of one million is a huge city, and the number of city guards is also the highest in all city guards, up to tens of thousands, and there are four barracks, which are in the southeast and northwest, and the two school fields in the outer city are not large, each can accommodate thousands of people, and is usually used for city guard drills, and occasionally holds some large-scale activities.
Liu Han got off at the gate of the east school field, there were two city guard soldiers guarding the school gate, Liu Han walked quickly inside, two soldiers came to stop him, Liu Han explained that the two silver tickets were stuffed over, the two soldiers looked up and down, touched the silver tickets, and let him in.
