"I can't blame her!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "It may be a small matter for you and me, but it is a disaster for her. She can't tell the difference between government duties, you and me are in her eyes It is the court, it is the government, it is hard to seize this opportunity and not ask the matter clearly? How much energy can I waste by saying a few more words? It can relieve a person's worries, wouldn't it be great!"

"Mr. Lang really has the heart of a Bodhisattva!" Hei Chi Chang Zhi said with a smile.

"This is not the heart of a Bodhisattva, but something that should be done!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Generally, Chang'an was peaceful a few days ago, but the ground was full of gunpowder in a blink of an eye. Those who live at the top think they are peaceful and have nothing to do, and lie down and sleep soundly; those who live at the bottom are miserable, but they have nowhere to tell. What should be done, a few words can solve the worries of the monarch and the father, and the hearts of the people at the bottom, why not do it?"

"Lang-jun taught me a lesson!" Black-toothed Changzhi nodded, "When the general was in Baekje, he thought that a country like the Tang Dynasty was a peaceful world, but after he came to Chang'an, he found that there was a nobleman in brocade clothes, full of food and leisure all day long. There are also poor people who run around all day long but are not fully clothed and full of chaff. They are no different from Baekje. If there is any difference, it is that the nobles in Chang'an live much more comfortably than the nobles in Baekje! "

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "The people of Tang Dynasty are human beings, and the people of Baekje are also human beings. In this kind of thing, the world is the same. There are high and low, rich and poor. This is not something I can change. But rich and noble People who are poor must abide by the law and cannot act recklessly; poor and lowly people also have their place, and we should not let them have nowhere to go, this is indeed what we can do, so that the world can be rough and safe!"

"Is this just rough security?" Hei Chi Chang Zhi laughed: "According to my subordinates, if this is the case, it will be a prosperous age!"

"It's really just rough security!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "The next step is to select talents, build schools, build water conservancy and factories, reward trade, and make the people rich. Let's put it this way! Let farmers have a chicken in the pot every seven or eight days. At this level, it can almost be called a prosperous age!"

"The farmer has a chicken in the pot every seven or eight days?" Hei-toothed Changzhi shook his head and smiled, "How is this possible? Your husband's thinking is too good. Doesn't the farmer have hundreds of chickens in his house? Where is the farmer, it is clearly the landlord! No, even if it is a landlord, ordinary landlords are reluctant to eat like this!"

"Of course it's impossible now, but it won't be certain in the future!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "When we return to Baekje, you will know that it may be impossible! First, go from a village to a market town, and then from a market town to a township." , and then from a township to a county, step by step."

"Wang Sima, Wang Sima!" Ding Hui's voice interrupted the conversation between Wang Wenzuo and Hei Chi Changzhi, and he was seen coming in from the outside, wrapped in iron armor and wrapped in black clothes: "The officers and soldiers are here!"

"Officers and soldiers? Where are they?" Wang Wenzuo raised the end immediately.

"It's at the east gate of the West City, and Iggy Lianbode is dealing with it outside!"

"It's just in time, black teeth are always there, go and call Cao Yena, let's deal with it together!"

"Here!"

The night is thick, like thick ink spilled.A troop of cavalry passed through the burning square market, heading towards the west market. The flames illuminated the metal helmets and dyed their armor orange.One of them raised a long gun with a flag fluttering from the tip.Wang Wenzuo thought the flag should be red, but at night it was really hard to tell, the fires everywhere made everything look red or black or orange.

The fire was burning, and Wang Wenzuo saw the one or two-storey houses in the neighboring neighborhood being engulfed in flames, and the tongues of flames shuttled between the eaves. The houses seemed to be wearing bright orange robes, in stark contrast to the night.At this time, all the living people in West Market woke up. They climbed up the wall and looked at these new strangers on the street with terrified and wary eyes.

The cavalry tightened their reins a dozen steps away from the gate of Fangshi, "Who are you?" A knight with two long feathers on his helmet and fringe shouted loudly: "We are officers and soldiers, open the gate quickly! "

"Wang Sima don't want to promise him, at least wait until dawn before opening the workshop!" Cao Yena said in a low voice.

"Why?" Wang Wenzuo whispered: "These people should not be thieves, otherwise how could there be so many armor banners!"

"Wang Sima, please wait a little longer. If you wait until dawn, the villain will thank you!" Cao Ye said with a forced smile. With the help of the fire, Wang Wenzuo could see the fear in his eyes, and suddenly he understood Cao Ye. That idea: the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is full of murder and fire. Even if it is really an official army, it is inevitable that they will be motivated by money. They will take advantage of the darkness to kill these Hu merchants, rob them of their property, and then burn them clean. Not so good?Anyway, all crimes can be blamed on tonight's riots, and the dead can't open their mouths to testify.

"Are you worried that these officers and soldiers will use force?"

Cao Yena didn't answer Wang Wenzuo's question, but said in a low voice: "Wang Sima is a kind person. As long as the night passes safely, this treasury in the temple will belong to the Lord, and you can use it as you like!"

"That's not necessary!" Wang Wenzuo laughed in a low voice, and said loudly: "My official Wang Wenzuo is the marching commander of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion. These are my guards and retinues. They are ordered by General Jin Renwen Jin. Suppressing thieves and guarding the West Market, who are you guys?"

"Marching Sima of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion?" The knight laughed and said, "You guys can't make up anything like it. The Xiongjin Governor's Mansion is in Haidong, and this is Chang'an, which is tens of thousands of miles away! Open the door quickly, otherwise You are welcome, Mr. Er!"

"I follow Jin Ren to ask General Jin to go back to Chang'an to meet the emperor. What's so strange?" Wang Wenzuo sneered and said, "Besides, what happened tonight was ordered by the emperor. If you want to enter the door, wait until after dawn." !"

"Follow the emperor's edict?" The knight hesitated when he heard the words. Murder and robbery are a serious crime, but it is nothing compared to the edict, not to mention that this is Chang'an, and there is nowhere to run. Saying this, the truth is very great.

"That's right!" Wang Wenzuo said in a deep voice, "The thieves in this West City have been eliminated by the official. You can suppress other places first! Other things will be discussed after dawn!"

The knight was sitting on horseback, hesitating, when the entourage beside him shouted loudly: "In the middle of the night, the palace gate is closed, where is the emperor's edict? It's obviously a thief in disguise, open the door quickly, Otherwise, you are thieves!"

Wang Wenzuo gave a cold snort, and pointed at the shouting man. Hei Chi Changzhi understood, and shot an arrow with a full horn bow, which hit the shouting man's throat, and put his curse back into his mouth.

Angry roars echoed through the crowd, followed by the crash of horseshoes and paving stones.Wang Wenzuo raised his right arm, and his high-pitched voice overwhelmed the roar: "Those who do not follow the edict will die!"

The feathered knight jumped off his horse and checked the injuries of his subordinates. The arrow piercing through his throat made him feel a cold current running through his back. It was not difficult to shoot through the throat at this distance, but it was daytime, even with the fire, shooting in such a deep night Throat piercing is another story.He got on his horse and cupped his hands against the wall: "Isn't it Wang Sima of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion? A certain family has recorded what happened tonight!" After finishing speaking, he raised his right hand and said loudly, "Let's go!"

When the last riding shadow disappeared at the end of the street, Wang Wenzuo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It would be best if the other party was willing to give in. He turned around and said to Hei Chi Chang Zhi: "Let the soldiers be divided into two groups and take turns Rest, no one is allowed to disarm, no drinking!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Back in the temple, Wang Wenzuo lost interest in drinking. After rinsing his mouth, he wanted to find a place to take a nap, but he heard the voice of the guard outside: "Mr.

"Let him in!" Wang Wenzuo sighed in disappointment, and said to Cao Ye who walked in, "Master Cao, there are so many things today, don't you want to rest for a while?"

"Mr. Cao saved Mr. Cao twice tonight. I really don't know how to repay Mr. Lang's great kindness!" Cao Yena bent his knees and knelt down to Wang Wenzuo with difficulty. It was close to the ground, but no matter how hard he tried, he was still a long way from kowtowing.

"The proprietor, get up!" Wang Wenzuo smiled wryly and helped him up: "I already understand your intentions. If you really have gratitude, you should give me more Aduwu!"

"That's natural!" Cao Ye stood up with difficulty, and just knelt and stood like this, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat: "The villain has already said that as long as Cao is still in the temple for a day, it will be a good day." The treasury in the temple is your own, you can use it as you like!"

"Miaozhu? What kind of job is this?"

Cao Yena hurriedly explained that the Miaozhu was originally the person who was in charge of the incense in the temple in ancient times, and after the Zoroastrianism came to China, he went to do as the Romans did, and he would also be in charge of the treasury in the Zoroastrian temple.Cao Yena is one of the five priests of this Zoroastrian temple in Chang'an.

Wang Wenzuo is also a smart person, and immediately heard the other party's subtext: "Listen to the proprietor, your position as a temple is not very secure now, right?"

"That's right!" At this time, Cao Yena did not go around in circles, and admitted frankly: "Originally, the villain did a lot of hard work in building the Chang'an Temple. It's a bit of a face. But tonight's loss is huge, and the villain will most likely be pulled out as a scapegoat!"

"I can't blame you for this, can you? After all, you didn't cause the riot? Could it be a reward for a certain family? But until now, I have only taken a load of gold and a load of silver, and I only need a receipt for the rest. Was it more of a situation at that time?"

"What did you say!" Cao Yena hurriedly shook his head: "If it wasn't for the action tonight, I would not be able to save my life, and all the property in the treasury would be taken away. It is only natural for the gentleman to take it all away. , not to mention taking such a small amount, how can you say more?"

"Then why?"

"Lang Jun, the West Market is not the only one that was robbed tonight. Most of our fellow citizens have some belongings around us, and they are foreigners. Our business will definitely be affected a lot. Many people will come to take out the deposited belongings tomorrow. For a while, there were some turnovers in the temple, so—"

"Oh, oh, I understand!" Wang Wenzuo immediately understood when he heard this.Zoroastrianism in the Tang Dynasty was a foreign religion, and most of its believers were Hu people, especially the Sogdians who were engaged in business, especially long-distance trade.Naturally, these shrewd Sogdian merchants would not put the gold and silver deposited in the treasury by others to receive ashes, but let them circulate and obtain huge profits. After all, the most difficult thing to attract public funds is to establish credit, and the common religious belief is the best source of credit.But just like the black swans in the modern financial industry, Cao Yena and the others also encountered unexpected things. The sudden riots in Chang'an caused great damage to the economy of many Hu merchants. Get back your own deposits, but there is not so much gold and silver in the treasury of the Zoroastrian Temple for the time being. This is a very classic run on phenomenon.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Wang Wenzuo asked: "People just want to get back the property they have deposited. This is only right and proper. I can't stop them, right?"

"Lang Jun, the villain doesn't have such an idea!" Cao Ye said with a smile: "This is actually a good thing!"

"A good thing?" Wang Wenzuo was taken aback when he heard the words: "This kind of thing has a great impact on you, right? If it spreads, who will dare to deposit money in your temple in the future?"

"You don't have to worry about this gentleman. Think about it, there are a lot of family ruins in the West Market tonight, not to mention money, there are all dead families, and the belongings stored in their stores are yellow. Yes! No matter what we say about our Zong Temple, the people and the temple are still there, but the money is used for turnover. If you can’t come back for a while, you can pay back one-tenth or 5.00% first, and the rest will be divided into ten years Pay it back slowly in five years, or pay some interest first, and don’t pay back the principal for the time being, who can say that the temple is not? After all, if they don’t keep it in the temple, they might have been robbed by now. Maybe its reputation will be even better!"

"This fat man is really dark!" Wang Wenzuo slandered. Sure enough, there is nothing new under the sun. All kinds of bad things, debt extension, perpetual debt, short-term debt into long-term debt, some in modern times and thousands of years ago, this is Just changed the name.It is estimated that those who have been killed all over the depository must have been swallowed by this fat man. Others will make money for the country, and this fat man will make money for teaching.

"If, as you said, what happened tonight is still a good thing for your temple, then what are you worried about?"

"Lang Jun, it is indeed a good thing for the temple, but there are five temples in Chang'an Zoroastrian Temple!"

Hearing this, Wang Wenzuo fully understood: "You mean that the other four people will be against you?"

"As the saying goes, it is necessary to guard against others! The villain is the oldest in the temple and has the greatest power, so--" Cao Yena stopped talking, and looked at Wang Wenzuo with blinking eyes, rather Poor!

　After the exam yesterday, I was exhausted and exhausted, I was getting old, and I really couldn't memorize things by rote, and I forgot them when I looked at them.

　　Here I would like to thank the book friends who voted for rewards after the update was stopped, I owe you all.I don’t like to ask for subscriptions, because I think reading books is like eating meat buns. The bun shop owner never asked me for money.In other words, in the domestic Internet culture market, reading books and watching movies without prostitution are very few. In the end, only free ones survive. The result is that when you read books, the things you want are absolutely not available in the market, and you don’t know where to go if you want to spend money. Flowers; book writers who want to earn some money by writing things with their skills are rare, and there are bad ones everywhere.
