Yang Zhi didn't want to say that there was a more important reason, that is, the chaos in Chang'an, when Zhao Kai attacked Xingzhou with all his might, let Yang Zhi go to Chang'an to stabilize Guanzhong, for this purpose, even if Yang Zhi did something out of the ordinary, Zhao Kai would turn a blind eye. Yang Zhi didn't want to have any handle in the hands of others now, lest he need to be controlled by others when he needed to make a big move in Chang'an.

More than 1,000 miles from Weizhou to Chang'an, Yang Zhi arrived in two days with a thousand fine horsemen; Xu Wen led people to greet him outside the city, and saw that the people standing behind Xu Wen were basically generals in the army, and Zhao Jiling, who accompanied Yang Zhi, asked curiously: "Lord Lu is so busy?"

The ten-mile long pavilion in Chang'an should still be the building of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it looks simple and vicissitudes, but on the steps and stone pillars of the long pavilion, there are traces of arrows and knives and guns in many places, showing that it is this harmless place for people and animals, and it has not escaped the experience of war for hundreds of years. Outside the pavilion, willows, green grass and wildflowers stretch into the distance, birds and butterflies flutter in the branches of the grass, and from time to time there is a cry of knowing.

Although at the end of summer, the weather was still hot, even in the wilderness outside Chang'an City, Xu Wen couldn't feel a cool breeze; seeing Xu Wen hesitate, Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Xu Wen agreed: "Someone is making trouble in Chang'an City, and Bianliang has sent a document, saying that they have increased 50,000 Chang'an soldiers and want us to supplement the subsidies for the families of these soldiers." ”

Chang'an has always been a major place for conscription in Guanzhong, when the Jin State invaded, Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu once recruited 200,000 people in the Chang'an area to enlist in the army, although these people were vulnerable on the battlefield, but it is an indisputable fact that they joined the Western Army, and tens of thousands of people died on the battlefield; then Wang Shu recruited more than 80,000 people in Chang'an, most of whom were taken to Bianliang; when Liu Guanglie left this time, he and Guan Shigu also took 20,000 people.

The Great Song Dynasty used money to support the army, the higher the rank in the army, the more money, even if it was a box army, the officer could get 300 to 500 wen a month, and the worst people below would also be given pickle money, at least two stone rice per month, enough to feed a family who was a soldier, as for all kinds of subsidies, it depends on the place where the army is located and the mood of the commander. At present, most of the families of the Western Army in Bianliang are in Chang'an, but in the name of the Western Army, Guo Yan and Lu Yi both subsidize food according to the original king-like practice.

But this time Bianliang suddenly came to this hand, and suddenly the city was full of turmoil, not to mention whether this matter is true or false, that is, the extra 50,000 people who were checked could not be completed in a short time in the absence of household registration information; the troublemakers were menacing, and tens of thousands of people had gathered in Chang'an City, and according to Lu Yi's estimate, the turmoil would become bigger and bigger, so Lu Yi sent all the officials out, and had already let Yang Zhongwu, Li Yanqi and other troops concentrate.

Yang Zhi smelled a hint of conspiracy, there was no such thing when Guo Yan took over, but now that it has suddenly erupted, I am afraid that there are still some people who want to give themselves a big gift. Yang Zhi asked: "Now that Bianliang is not fighting, besides, except for the army recruited by the Chang'an government, which is considered a box army, Liu Guanglie and their people are completely private troops, just hanging a name, and they should solve the money and food by themselves." Lu Tianshan, what is the opinion of the wanderer?"

Lu Tianshan and Youshou were both from Guanzhong and had a good reputation in the local area, so after Yang Zhi was sure that Lu Yi would take over, he transferred the two back to Yongxing Military Road, and Lu Tianshan served as the transfer envoy of the Yongxing Military Road Transit Division, and Youshou was reappointed as Yin of Jingzhao Mansion; Yang Zhi set the tone before asking questions, which showed that it was impossible to change the principle of handling; Xu Wen said in a deep voice: "Both of them said that there was someone behind this matter and they were making every effort to find the people behind the scenes. ”

Only by figuring out the truth can he draw his sword out of the sheath, Yang Zhi decided to go into the city and then talk about it, and did not go to the yamen of the Economic Strategy Division, but directly lived in the prepared military camp; as soon as Yang Zhi stayed, he ordered Cai Qing and Zhao Jiling to go to the street in disguise, Ao De was not at ease, and took thirty good men to secretly follow and protect.

After all, Chang'an is a city with a heritage, even after many catastrophes, it was robbed by the Jin army once two years ago, and now there are no traces of those traces on the streets, most of the merchants' shops are open, although it is not as lively as Bianliang and Taiyuan, it is still comparable with Qinzhou. Yang Zhi and the three of them found a restaurant, sat down on the second floor by the railing, and Cai Qing ordered three meats, three vegetables and two plates of fruits, asked for a pot of wine, and the three of them watched the scenery on the street.

The good men who accompanied him had already spread out downstairs and on the street, hiding in the crowd and shops, and after a while, the men brought up wine and food, and seeing that the three were all dressed in brocade clothes, he poured wine for the three and said, "The three are guests who have just arrived in Chang'an, right?"

Yang Zhi smiled: "Exactly, we are from Bianliang, I don't know what is interesting in Chang'an?"

The three of them have lived in Bianliang for a long time, and their accents are all Bianliang's accents; the man did not doubt it, sighed and said: "When the Jin army entered the city, Chang'an suffered heavy losses, and although it recovered a lot, it was still not as good as before. ”

The guy looked like he was in his thirties, and he naturally knew that the three big men who didn't look like elegant people would never be interested in any scenic spots, and went directly to the topic of the conversation; Yang Zhi understood when he heard it, nodded and said without moving: "At the inn just now, I heard that the city has not been peaceful recently. ”

"Alas, guest officer, leave that alone. The guy said disapprenously: "The Dingbei Army took over Chang'an this time, and many people thought that it would be like Puzhou and Qinzhou, there would be an unexpected change, but there is so much rice in the pot, if some people eat more, some people will eat less than the original, and those who eat less will naturally not do it." ”

Cai Qing stuffed five coins of broken silver into the man's hand, and said with a smile: "Our master also came to Chang'an to do business, is it possible that the people here are xenophobic?"

The guy estimated that Cai Qing was also a steward, put the broken silver into his pocket and said: "It doesn't exist, the trouble has nothing to do with the business in the market, the root is in the field, Lord Guo and Lord Lu have to re-measure the field, but the fertile land in Chang'an is in the hands of whom, and it is in the hands of the original bigwigs of the Western Army." Some of the families were originally people's husbands, but when they heard that they were pulled into the army when they arrived in Bianliang, they all wrote letters back. ”

The guy is here, but Yang Zhi and the three of them all understand, as long as the big people like to occupy an area, there are always some unknown secrets or edge balls or something, that is, it was inevitable that it was originally at the feet of the Son of Heaven like Bianliang, not to mention a place like Chang'an, where the emperor was far away.
