Chapter Eighty-Six: Out of the City
"Nothing, the shopkeeper's thoughtfulness"
Liu Fu rode a horse and hugged Qiao Song, and Han Tongwen followed behind him all the way towards the city gate.
Since the four gates were closed, the guards at the gates have never been broken. Liu Fu was a little worried that Han Tongwen would show his feet, but Han Tongwen was calm, he didn't know that even if he was caught, it wouldn't be a big deal if Han Tongwen thought about it, it was a big deal to run over the wall.
After arriving under the city gate, Liu Fu dismounted
"A few military masters are really hard, they have to defend the city in the middle of the night, and having people like you is really my blessing in Liangzhou" patting on the back is one of the lessons that businessmen must learn, and the natural use of rolling melons as the shopkeeper of the Liu family is ripe.
"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Liu," several soldiers said with a smile, Liu Fu is also the number one person in Liangzhou, and these people naturally know each other.
"A few military masters, you need to go out of the city for something in the future, and I hope it will be convenient" Liu Fushen handed over some money unconsciously
"Liangzhou is under martial law, Lord Assassin Shi strictly ordered that no one should enter Liangzhou" Yijia said solemnly, weighed the minimum consistency in his hand, and smiled with satisfaction, "But Liu's shopkeepers are all acquaintances, so this favor is naturally to help"
"Kaesong!"
"Who wants to go out of the city" As soon as the armorer's voice fell, another voice came from behind him
"I've seen the general," the two armor soldiers hurriedly knelt down
Even Liu Fu had some cold sweat on his forehead, he had dealt with a lot of people who wanted to go out of the city a few days ago, including some people with heads and faces in Liangzhou, but they never appeared again, where they went, everyone knew it, and there was no second place except for mass graves.
"Grass people Liu Fu has seen General Yan!" Liu Fu hurriedly saluted
"Oh, it's Shopkeeper Liu, I don't know what happened when Shopkeeper Liu went out of the city late at night" Yan Qiu's face was expressionless, making people wonder what he was thinking.
"This," Liu Fu said
"What, isn't it convenient to say?" Yan Qiu's eyes were sharp, "Since it's inconvenient, then don't force the shopkeeper Liu"
"How come, the general misunderstood" Liu Fu hurriedly said, "It's not a secret, my big shopkeeper sent someone to send a batch of goods a few days ago, but the four doors of Liangzhou are not open, so this time my Liu family firm will lose a lot of property, and the grass people want to go out of the city in person to tell the reason, so as not to blame the big shopkeeper" Liu Fu has been crawling in the mall for many years, but it can be regarded as smart
"In this way, the loss of blocking the four gates is too great, although Yan Qiu does not dare to disobey the order of Lord Assassin Shi, but it may still be possible to open an opening for Shopkeeper Liu" Yan Qiu seemed to have other meanings in his words
"General Yan's great kindness, Liu Fu remembers it in his heart" Liu Fu showed a very deferential look
"Liu Chuang, Liu Da shopkeeper, 30 years of empty-handed to break into such a big family business, I have admired Liu Da shopkeeper for a long time, so if you see the big shopkeeper, please say hello on your behalf, saying that Yan has the heart to make friends with such a hero."
Although Liu Chuang is rich in the world, his status as a businessman is inferior, which is a reality that Liu Chuang can't change, but Yan Qiu is so low as a general that people are suspicious.
"Don't dare, don't dare, if Liu Fu sees the big shopkeeper, Liu Fu will naturally give the original words"
"That's the best," Yan Qiu said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then Shopkeeper Liu's go and go back quickly."
When Yan Qiu walked past Liu Fu, he saw Qiao Song on the horse and touched Qiao Song's head, "Who is this child?"
"This is Liu's grandson, see where he wants to send to the big shopkeeper to hone and hone, you also know that those bastards in my family are not in the climate, except for the Qinglou restaurant, everything else is waste, I can only hope for my little grandson" Liu Fu sighed, with a look of hatred that iron is not steel.
"What's your name?" Yan Qiu asked
"My name is Liu Qiaosong" Qiao Song has been with Han Tongwen for a long time, and he is also very smart, "Grandpa, let's go back, I miss my mother"
"Bastard, do you want to stay here like your shitty daddy?" Liu Fu scolded
"Hey, shopkeeper Liu, it's normal for children to miss their mothers, if you are homesick and come back, our Liangzhou may have more room for development than Liu's firm" Yanqiu gave Liu Fu a meaningful look.
"Kaejo let go," Yan Qiu ordered
The three of them got out of the city gate without danger
"Master Han, your apprentice is really clever" Liu Fu sincerely sighed, it was not easy for a five-year-old child to be able to react keenly in that situation.
"It's just a little clever", compared to this, Han Tongwen cares more about Yanqiu's words
"Don't you think Yanqiu is any different from before?"
Liu Fuyi frowned, "Yanqiu is the most low-key one in Liangzhou City, and he is in the position of a general, second only to the history of assassination, but he is shallow and shallow, and he is almost the most invisible person in the officialdom of Liangzhou City." But what he said today"
"He's wooing you," Han Tongwen said
"Han Gongzi, you also found out?"
"Yanqiu may not be as you think, what kind of thing can make a general be respectful to a businessman" "Are you saying that Yanqiu has a deep meaning?" "I think in Liangzhou can be worthy of him to do this, only Zhu Fangping, Zhu Fangping is now closed, this is his best opportunity." Maybe he wants to unite with some people with status in Liangzhou City to bring down Zhu Fangping, of course, this is just speculation!" Judging from the situation obtained from the Assassin's Mansion, Han Tongwen even guessed that the current situation in Tongzhou was a struggle between the two generals, Yanqiu and Zhu Fangping.
"Han Gongzi looks down on us businessmen" Liu Fu smiled a little helplessly, in this era, they don't even have the most basic security, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries may only need a word, and they will even lose their lives.
In fact, Liu Fu's inferiority complex is not unreasonable, because the peasants, industrialists, and merchants have a lot of wealth in their hands, but they do not have any rights! Looking at the history books, the change of dynasties shows that there are rebellions of the scholar class and peasant classes, but there is no rebellion of the craftsman class and the merchant class. Needless to say, the craftsman has no strength to rebel except for his skills, but the merchant is not able to control the wealth of the country.
In fact, this is not a bad way, the wealth and power of the rich rival country, except for the emperor dare to have it, if others get both, there is no second way except rebellion, and if you don't rebel, you can only be cut down by the emperor's suspicion. But any rebellion is inseparable from the support of the wealth of the merchants, and the war is about money!
"I don't think so, the wealth in the hands of the merchants is one of the necessary factors that determine the belonging of a country and the victory of the war."
"But the wealth we have now may be wiped out in the blink of an eye with just one sentence, and the Shinong businessman, the Shinong businessman, the merchant is the lowest level."
"One day people will realize the contribution of merchants to society, and then finally rule the world together with the scholars and the common people" Han Tongwen said is not actually a pipe dream, the governments of capitalist countries are behind some big conglomerates, and they are even above the scholars.
The germ of capitalism actually originated from the development of merchants, and if the status of merchants was raised, perhaps the flowers of capitalism would bloom in the most prosperous era of commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, many years earlier.
When Han Tongwen returned to the place where he tied his horse, he couldn't find anything but the reins of the horse, and Han Tongwen patted his head
"Damn, it's been less than three hours since we entered the city"
"What about Master Ma?" Qiao Song asked
"Undoubtedly, eaten by refugees"
"There is still some distance to Youzhou, Han Gongzi will ride this horse, the grain convoy should be less than ten miles according to this, I can also walk"
"Then I'm bothering you. Tell the second shopkeeper to leave some food outside Liangzhou City to help the victims here, and then take the rest to Youzhou to join me, where will I wait for him"
With the arrival of this batch of food, Han Tongwen is a lot relieved, although it can't solve too big a problem, but at least it can kill fewer people, and now going to Youzhou is not only to wait for the second shopkeeper of the Liu family, but also to have a white strip of five thousand guan in his arms!
