Chapter 90: The Reward I
A month has passed in a blink of an eye.
It's not too long, it's not too short, at least it's enough for Song Han to gather the Song family scattered everywhere.
Seeing the breeze getting colder, a burst of autumn swept the entire Shu land.
In the evening, the sunset crosses the earth with a layer of color, and the sound of horses' hooves is on the streets of Wenyang Mansion, from far to near.
A carriage slowly approached.
"Dao Chief, the Seven Treasure Pavilion has arrived. The driver of the car got out of the car, and the respectful liΓ‘o raised the curtain and said.
The first to come down was a Taoist boy who was no more than fifteen years old, followed by a well-maintained, looking a little fairy-style Dao bones, a middle-aged Taoist priest in his early forties, although the two of them were wearing Taoist robes, but the high-quality robes, as well as a faint and refined temperament, were obviously not from ordinary Taoist temples.
Although this place is not too far from the city center, it is not a bustling area, and from a distance, it is just an ordinary street.
In front of the shop in front of me, there are people coming and going, and it is obvious that the business is very good.
This shop is different from the usual shops in the surrounding area, it is hidden in a manor, and you need to enter it to consume it.
In front of this shop, there are a lot of rare plants and flowers, and the surrounding area is surrounded by a circle of flowers and trees, many flowers are blooming at this time, and you can smell the fragrance from a distance, and the flowers and trees accompany each other, which looks very peculiar and elegant, and it is embellished that this shop is like a hidden fairyland in the town.
As soon as the middle-aged Taoist priest looked up, he saw a wooden antique sign hanging on the bamboo door, with three big characters of "Qibao Pavilion" written on it, and the font was beautiful and healthy, which was obviously from everyone's handwriting.
Looking at it again, the Taoist priest and the child were all bright-eyed. I also saw that the road was crooked, and all of it was paved with gravel, and it stretched to the depths. It gives people a sense of looking for a fairyland.
"Master, there's something interesting about this place. Dao Tong couldn't help but blink his eyes, flashing with light.
The middle-aged Taoist priest ignored him, walked in, entered the door, stepped on the sheep intestine path inward, walked less than three hundred meters, and saw a huge pond, appeared beside the path, which is the size of several acres, the water inside is clear, on the water surface, the lotus flowers are blooming by themselves, it is extremely beautiful.
There are also a few pavilions on the water and are built hanging from the water, many guests are enjoying the flowers and talking there, occasionally a few words are faintly in the ear, but the garden, most of the time, is very quiet.
At this time, a young man in a green hat appeared in front of the two, bowed, and asked with a smile: "Yo, two Taoist leaders, I don't know if you are eating, staying in a store, or buying things?"
"Oh, we're new here, so let's hear about it. The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile.
The guy responded and explained: "This store is the first new store opened by the Song family in Wenyang and Changding County, which is divided into seven places, namely catering, living, study, clothing village, theater, shopping field, and pawnshop. Named after No. 1 to No. 7 pavilions, the price is fair, and the children are not bullied. It is a regular store for ordinary customers, and guests with a noble status can reserve a private room in advance. I don't know where the two Taoist leaders want to go to spend, but do you have a reservation?"
"Is this a pre-booked thing?" the middle-aged Taoist priest took out an object from his sleeve and showed it to the man.
When the guy saw it, his smile increased a little more. "It turned out to be a distinguished guest from Pavilion No. 3, please come with me. β
So, the two of them said no more and walked forward with their buddies.
I hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the road next to me.
Then, someone shouted in surprise: "Chenghe Dao Chief?"
"Mr. Song, why are you here?" The middle-aged Taoist priest was attracted by the sudden call and turned his head, and saw an old man in gorgeous clothes, standing not far away, looking at him in surprise.
After saying this, Cheng He smiled first: "Look at what I said, this is your property, and it's not surprising that you appear here." β
"Daoist Chenghe, why did you suddenly come here......? Is something going on over there?"
Song Han's concern was not fake, but made Cheng He smile lightly, shook his head and said, "It's not like that, it's just that I came here to meet my friends." By the way, let's take a look at the newly opened shop of the Song family...... Speaking of which, it was a place that I didn't expect, and it was very elegant. β
Cheng He commented.
"Can you stay for a few days when you come here this time? Last time, I said goodbye in a hurry, and I haven't talked to Daoist Haosheng yet. Song Han said invitedly: "If you are not in a hurry, I will ask the guy to arrange a place for you to live, and there will be no outsiders to disturb you." β
Seeing that Song Han was so enthusiastic, Cheng He really needed to stay for two days, so he should go.
Cheng He said goodbye first and went to meet his friends, while Song Han walked to the back after parting with him.
Passing through several corridors, he stopped in front of the tenth courtyard of Pavilion No. 3, and then walked into the courtyard.
There are a total of five houses in the north, only the middle door is open, and as soon as Song Han walked in, he saw a young man standing there with his back to him, admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
"Let Mr. Zhang wait for a long time. Song Han said with a smile.
Zhang Youzhi turned around, arched his hand at him, and said respectfully: "Where is it, I came too early." β
This big room is very chic, full of books, and it doesn't look like a single courtyard in a restaurant, but like a reception room for everyone's children.
There are some paintings and poems on the wall, flowers and potted plants are placed by the window on the ground, and there is a bookshelf in the center that reaches to the roof, and there are many books on display.
There is a delicate jade table in the middle, and there are already men who have come in to serve tea and fruit snacks. Song Han instructed: "I will chat with the guests for a while, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." β
"Yes, the villain knows. β
Zhang Youzhi smiled, his eyes drooped slightly, and he did not speak.
It was also his first time here, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the garden arrangement when he first arrived.
The so-called Qibao Pavilion is actually the Song family's main shop in Wenyang Mansion, and it is connected to the Song family's mansion.
A large number of goods from the northeast, Jiangnan, and even the western countries gathered here, which made Wenyang Mansion suddenly prosper, and also enabled Wang Hongyi to obtain a large number of cheap goods, especially those related to the army.
Zhang Youzhi squinted his eyes, and admired the courage of the Song family a little, not to mention the effect, but this attitude of serving Wang Hongyi at any cost is very clear.
The Song family has a store in Chengdu Mansion, and they have never really dealt with it, so it is unknown.
However, the shops that are now built in the two counties of Wenyang and Changding are all in full swing.
Within a month, the Song family had 13 stores reopened in the two counties, and that wasn't the most important thing.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the news that the old man has received in the past few days, I don't know if it will be useful to you. Chong took out a stack of paper rolls in his arms, and Song Han handed them to Zhang Youzhi.
Zhang Yuzhi took it in his hand, opened a few copies casually, put them away carefully, and then said with a smile: "The information collected by these counties will definitely be helpful to the general." β
"That's fine. Song Han nodded, the Song family has been closely linked to Wang Hongyi, and he has spared no effort in collecting intelligence.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Yuzhi got up to say goodbye.
He came here this time to get information. I got out of the gate, got into the carriage, sat in the carriage, read the information one by one, and secretly sighed in my heart.
I really didn't expect that the incident of the Song family would vaguely become the fuse of the unstable situation in Shudi.
The feudal clans and the clans in their territories, which had not broken out before, were wary of each other, not to mention the increase in troops to guard them, and even the trade with the feudal towns began to be closely monitored.
Carefully loading the information in his hand, Zhang Youzhi sighed secretly: "It seems that the war is not far away." β
When this day comes, it will inevitably cause a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses.
But this day is inevitable.
The trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and it is impossible to continue like this.
It has been a long time since the feudal towns were divided, and it is not beneficial for the world to continue in this way.
The carriage moved slowly, and Zhang Youzhi thought about the trend of the world in his heart. On the way back to the General's Mansion, the carriage passed by a Taoist temple.
Hearing the commotion outside, Zhang Yuzhi glanced out of the car window.
"Stop for a moment, I'm going to go over and have a look. Seeing that he had arrived here, in front of the Taoist temple, Zhang Yuzhi stopped the carriage, got off the carriage, and walked towards the Taoist temple.
At this time, the entrance of the Taoist temple was lively.
The workers were busy with their work, while the officials involved in the supervision were discussing things.
"I've seen Master Zhang. A few small officials who were checking the construction situation in front of the door turned their heads to look when they heard the footsteps, and their faces immediately changed slightly. But they knew Zhang Youzhi, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly bowed down to salute.
"No courtesy. Zhang Youzhi said lightly, but his eyes only looked into the distance, and he saw that the workers in front of the door were busy, and a gate had been carried over and was about to be installed.
Looking at this situation, it should be about to be completed, Zhang Youzhi asked: "How many days will it be completed?"
When asked, the little official hurriedly replied: "My lord, there are about two days left, and it will be completed." β
"Well, hurry up and catch up with the progress, and report to me when it's finished. Zhang Youzhi said, his eyes fell on the Taoist temple, and he observed carefully.
It is said that after Tong Xuan and Heping really met with the general, he quickly issued a reward for the hidden door in this matter.
A Taoist temple in the city that had been abandoned for a long time was given to Tongxuan and Pingzhen, and a thousand taels of silver were allocated as repair costs, and Tongxuan and Pingzhen worked hard to preside over the repair of the Taoist temple.
Of course, the reward was not only this thousand taels, but after ten days, the land deed of 1,000 acres outside the city was allocated to the name of the Taoist temple.
Thousands of acres of land, Xu built a Taoist temple, and gave a thousand taels of silver, and the total amount added up is the gold that Wang Hongyi promised to reward.
In front of him, the area of the Taoist temple alone has the size of ten acres, which is already very large, you know, the overall area of the Jiedu Embassy is only about fifteen acres.
The Taoist temple is being built on the one hand, and the bamboo roots have been planted on the other side, waiting for the next year to become a bamboo forest, so I know that at this time energy conservation can not be planted, if it can, it will also be quiet.
According to the information, many Taoist temples secretly sent silver taels to support the construction, look at this situation, after the Taoist temple is completed, it will become a land.
The little official responded respectfully in his ears, Zhang Youzhi nodded, and walked back to his carriage. \
