The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 255 Not only thinking about it, but also doing it

As the end of the new year was approaching, the generals who led troops outside Chang'an City changed positions and returned to Chang'an, and envoys from various countries also arrived in Chang'an City one after another.

The Honglu Temple has also ushered in the busiest time of the year, and many honorable persons in Chang'an have privately circulated that this time the missions from various countries came to Datang, not only to pay homage to His Majesty, but also to make peace with Datang , Begging for the princess of Datang.

By the end of the year, Xuan Shijing and Qiandui had been busy with Daozhengfang. Now the whole Daozhengfang has been vacated. A large number of Hu merchants who originally rented here have returned to the Western Regions. For those who are willing to leave after being given money, Qiandui will give them some compensation. If they are unwilling to leave, the people on the Zhuangzi will come forward to 'persuade' them in the name of the Hou Mansion. Anyway, the Hou Mansion still has some houses in Dunhuafang. Just let them live there.

After finishing this matter, Xuan Shijing has no important work to do recently. Of course, the people under him are still collecting information about Li Yuanjing.

Xuanwu hugged and Qiandui took two letters, went up to the fifth floor, and found Xuan Shijing.

Today, the fifth floor of Xuanwulou is still a whole floor space. As soon as you go upstairs, you can see Xuan Shijing's huge desk, with his back facing the Xuanwu Lake outside the window, and a big chair covered with The seat cushion is soft enough to sink people into, and it is extremely comfortable. The bearings under the chair are enough to rotate 360 ​​degrees. As long as Xuan Shijing taps his toes, he can turn his back to the stairs and watch the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake.

The only fly in the ointment is that the windows are still wooden windows, but not glass windows. In order to get glass windows, Xuan Shijing has already begun to let people try to burn glass. Think about the large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Xuanwu Lake. , Xuan Shijing felt excited in his heart.

"Hou Ye" Qiandui came up.

Xuan Shijing turned the chair back, facing Qiandui: "What's the matter?"

"Master Hou, when you bought this Xuanwu arm, didn't you tell the villain to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the money? There is something happening now." Qian Dui handed the two letters in his hand to Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing took the letter and motioned Qian Dui to sit down and talk.

"Young Lord, this batch of money will be disguised as goods and shipped out from King Jing's mansion in Chang'an City early tomorrow morning. The destination is Jingzhou. Now that the new year is approaching, King Jing will also be ordered to return to Beijing. I guess it's a small calculation. In a few days, His Royal Highness King Jing will meet with the team that transported this batch of goods in Xiangzhou, and then will decide the next step of this batch of goods." Qiandui said.

"Why, didn't this batch of money be transported to Jingzhou?" Xuan Shijing asked, logically speaking, it is best to transport such a large amount of money back to his old nest, why did he have to go to Xiangzhou to decide where to transport it next? Woolen cloth?
"Master Hou, these young people have been inquiring one after another. King Jing has large and small businesses near Jingzhou and even in the whole south. The servants of King Jing's mansion also often cooperate with local gentry in the name of King Jing's mansion. , this must have been ordered by King Jing, otherwise, no matter how courageous the servants in the mansion are, they would not go out to visit these gentry in the name of King Jing. Of course, if the court finds out, King Jing can pick himself up Two clean."

After hearing Qiandui's analysis, Xuan Shijing also felt that King Jing's move was safe.

"The pile of money, where do you think the final destination of this batch of money will be?" Xuan Shijing asked.

For this problem, Qiandui has also studied for a long time. After all, he wanted the people in Jingzhou who were still begging for a living on the mountain to eat this batch of money, but what he didn't expect was that Li Yuanjing put this batch of money Chang'an took so long, and it was only shipped out of Chang'an at the end of the year. The destination was not Jingzhou, but Xiangzhou as a transit point.

"This... small one is really hard to guess." Qiandui said.

Xuan Shijing's index finger was slightly bent, and he tapped his knuckles on the table. After thinking for a while, he said, "You originally meant to let the people in Jingzhou eat up this batch of money?"

"Exactly, Lord Hou, the Hou Mansion is now in the same situation as King Jing, and it is beneficial to the Hou Mansion to be able to attack King Jing. What's more, King Jing has obtained such a large amount of money. It’s used to win people’s hearts.”

"Well, what you said makes sense. In this case, let the people in Jingzhou draw up their manpower and rush to Xiangzhou immediately to stand by." Xuan Shijing said.

"Master Hou wants to do something in Xiangzhou?" Qian Dui looked at Xuan Shijing in surprise.

"That's right, it's right under Li Yuanjing's nose." Xuan Shijing said with a smile, "When the money arrives in Xiangzhou, people will do it."

"Master Hou, but if King Jing is in Xiangzhou, I'm afraid it will be in his hands." Qian Dui hesitated: "King Jing will definitely bring this bodyguard with him when he returns to the capital. I'm afraid there will be a fight."

"Xiangzhou is the last destination of this batch of goods that we know now. After passing through Xiangzhou, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deploy." Xuan Shijing stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the man outside the window. In terms of scenery: "Then let's do it before Li Yuanjing sees this batch of money. Let the people from Jingzhou go to Xiangzhou to make preparations. At that time, Li Yuanjing lost something in Xiangzhou. According to his connections, I'm afraid there will be another incident." There is a storm, don't be unable to keep the money when the time comes, this is not the style of our Marquis Mansion."

"Yes, Master Hou." Qian Dui also stood up, cupped his hands in response, and then said: "Master Hou, now we have more people here, look."

"Stop, I know what you want to say, money pile, put your heart in your stomach, you have the ability, don't have to be suspicious, not to mention, no one is more familiar with these things than you." Xuan Shijing said .

Now the Hou Mansion's stalls outside are getting bigger and bigger, and the money pile is getting more and more in their hands, so I feel more and more anxious.

It's nothing, Xuan Shijing understands his state, just like if Cheng Yaojin controls [-]% of the Tang Dynasty's troops, he will probably have this mentality.

Xuan Shijing never cared about this kind of thing, those who can do more work, in the past ten years, Qiandui's loyalty to the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing has seen it, if Qiandui really feels that he has reached the limit of what he can control, If he wants to find someone to replace him, Xuan Shijing will naturally agree, but if Qiandui is afraid of being suspected, then it is completely unnecessary.

"Hou Ye." Hearing this, Qian Dui was moved in his heart, he died for his confidant, how lucky he was to meet Hou Ye in his life.

"Qiandui, our world is still very vast, not only Datang, but you have to look further, so that you will find that what you have now is just a drop in the ocean. When you know the bigger world, Then you will feel that no matter what you do, you have to learn to be confident and full of energy." Xuan Shijing laughed.
