A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 370 Dating the daughter of Persia

Zhang Liang knew Master Gu, and even had a good relationship.

In the past, Gu Shizi followed Chai Er, and he was regarded as half an apprentice. In the early years, the Chai brothers and Jia Jiancheng Shimin were very famous in the Chang'an Xia Shao circle.

"You know Ma Sanbao, right?"

Ma Sanbao is Xin Guogong and General Zuo Xiaowei, but he was born as a slave of the Chai family. In the previous dynasty, Chai Shao was the prince Qianniu, and Chang'an Xia Shao. Ma Sanbao was a personal slave, and Gu Shizi and others followed around .Gu Shizi is good at flying over eaves and walls, and he is as good at light work as Bi Long Chai Er.

But Ma Sanbao is very brave.

Later, Ma Sanbao followed Princess Pingyang to recruit troops in Guanzhong, persuaded the bandits to join Li Sanniang, laid down many territories together, and welcomed Li Yuan and his son to Chang'an.

In the early years, Gu Shizi had a good relationship with Ma Sanbao. In terms of status, Gu Shizi was actually higher than his slave Ma Sanbao.

In fact, most of the people who hung out together in the past are doing well now, such as Shi Wanbao, who also joined Chai Shaojian and the others in the early years. Later, Chai Shao and the others stepped into official careers, and Shi Wanbao became the new big brother, Chang'an Daxia.

Later, he also accompanied Princess Pingyang and Li Shentong to recruit troops in Guanzhong with Ma Sanbao to welcome Li Yuan into the capital.
He also killed Li Mi and made him Duke Yuan. Shi Wanbao's elder brother Shi Wansui was one of the four famous generals in the Sui Dynasty. Rivers and lakes, but in the end he also mixed up with a prince.

Zhang Liang used to recruit Jianghu heroes and thieves for Li Shimin, and he was very familiar with these so-called heroes and Jianghu heroes, and he was also very familiar with Gu Shizi.

He also wanted to recruit Gu Shizi to serve under his command, but unfortunately Gu Shizi is a bit special, he is different from Shi Wanbao and Ma Sanbao, he doesn't like being an official, but likes to be free in the world.

But later even Chai Er came out to be an official, but Master Gu was still his bandit commander.

"How dare this guy provoke Zhao Guogong?"

Zhang Liang knew very well that Changsun Wuji was not very broad-minded, and he had a strong desire for revenge, so he couldn't offend him.

"I guess he wanted to imitate Pilong to show off his skills, or make a name for himself in the arena and consolidate his status in the arena. Who knew he would miss it."

Wu Huaiyu doesn't care about that, he is concerned about where to find this guy now.

As the governor of Yongzhou, this is Jingzhao Shaoyin. In fact, he is now the inspector of Jingzhaoyin. If such a deadly guy appears on the ground in the capital, he must be eliminated.

"By taking advantage of this incident, I think we should also take action. We should take a heavy blow to these thieves in Gyeonggi, and rectify them. Today, they are so bold that they dared to threaten the uncle with a knife to snatch the imperial treasure. Do you know if you will dare to assassinate the prime minister in the street next time, or even break into the palace without permission?"

Many so-called rangers are actually local ruffians and bandits.

There are many rangers in Chang'an, and there are traditions.

But rangers also have circles, and they are divided into classes. For example, Chai Shao, Li Jiancheng, and Shi Wanbao were young chivalrous men in the past. connections.

Then there are the so-called Wuling Xias, these are the powerful children living around Chang'an, and their family backgrounds are also very good.

Then there are the so-called Fangshi youths in Chang'an City, also known as evil young rascals, etc. These people are from the bottom of the market. Side business, etc.

There are also those who hide filth, force good people to work as prostitutes, lend usury, and even kidnap and traffic.

There is also a kind of chivalrous youth in Chang’an, Bian Shao. The family is mainly the generals of the border town, and his father and brother are transferred to Beijing to serve, and they also come to Beijing.

Basically, there are four such circles in the ranger circle, and well water does not violate river water.

Huaiyu wanted to crack down on those evil youths and clean them up. He wanted to use the special relationship of the six gates to cooperate with the Yongzhou Yamen and the Ministry of Punishment. He happened to have official positions in these three yamen.

"At that time, we can also take the opportunity to strengthen the control of the underground and recruit some hidden eyeliners."

Zhang Liang agreed with this proposal, "It's time to rectify, these guys are lawless."

"Say hello to Chai Shao, Shi Wanbao, and Ma Sanbao first." Zhang Liang reminded that many people in Chang'an's rivers and lakes can even be counted as their disciples and grandchildren.

Don't look at people like Chai Da Chai Er, Shi Wanba, and BMW Three Treasures who are all state princes and occupy high positions, but the Chang'an Jianghu is actually a business, and there are innumerable interests in it.

Of course, there are quite a few people from the Six Doors in this arena, so if you want to take action, you must greet them well to avoid accidental injury.

"You just came, take back your twelve sheep in a while,"

As a third-rank official, the imperial court gave him twelve sheep every month. If he could reach the second rank, there would even be [-] sheep plus [-] catties of pork for free.

The fourth and fifth rank officials also have nine sheep every month.

Below the scarlet robe, there is no such benefit.

But in contrast, the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty slaughtered 350 sheep every day to supply the court.

The corridor food in the Tang Dynasty, which is the working meal of the court officials, only provided three sheep every day.

Zhang Liang is now Guangluqing, and he is responsible for distributing imperial meals, meals served in court corridors, pigs and sheep for officials' welfare, and various salt sauces.

As a third-rank official, there are nine dishes of daily food, including fine rice, japonica rice, noodles, wine, sauce, vinegar, salt, soy sauce, green onion, ginger, leek, sheep, etc. There is also a free working lunch every day, and the daily food is discounted monthly The contract is eight thousand dollars.

There is also the distribution of salary, and the gift of clothes and silk in winter and spring.

Regardless of these things, it's very complicated, and Huaiyu feels that if she is responsible for it, it will be a headache.But Zhang Liang did it like a fish in water, and he couldn't even miss the six-door thing. Although he led troops to fight, he threw away his armor and armor every time, and even couldn't hold the territory, but he was engaged in logistics and intelligence. Quite capable.

Zhang Liang specially asked someone to choose twelve fat sheep for him, which were big and fat.

Other common ingredients such as rice noodles, wine, vinegar and salt are also prepared.

"You take it back directly, and if you save money, notify your family to pick it up."

Zhang Liang gave Huaiyu the best, which is considered a small favor. There are so many officials in Chang'an, even middle and senior officials above Feipao. There are people with sophistication, and those who are related have received it early and sent it out. If it’s okay, there may be some old rice in the rice noodles, and the sheep may be smaller and thinner, which is normal.

Wu Huaiyu's current status actually doesn't really care about this benefit.

Now the capital supplies sheep to the court and officials, and even many sheep on the market, but a large part of the troop comes from the sheep market in Yulin, Yinzhou, hot sheep before snowfall, frozen sheep after snowfall, The Wu family also has business in the sheep business, and there is still a shortage of sheep to eat.

After reaching an agreement with Zhang Liang, Huaiyu went straight to Banu Restaurant in Xishi.

This is the second-ranked restaurant in Xishi Hu Wine Restaurant, which is better than Fresta. As for Gaia Restaurant, it has no place in the top ten.

I haven't been here for a long time, but the business of Banu Restaurant is still booming, especially when the Chinese New Year is coming, it is getting more and more popular here. Hu merchants from the Western Regions, officials from all over the country, everyone, after being busy, change their clothes and come here to relax.

My sister-in-law Gao Huitong is at the restaurant today, and Huaiyu came here specially to find her.

In Banu Restaurant, Gao Huitong called Aunt Gongsun.

The propaganda of the daughter of the Persian governor and the daughter of the royal family in the Banu restaurant is very attractive, and the people of Tang Dynasty are just like this, and even those Hu merchants like to come to taste the freshness of the ladies and ladies of the Western Regions.

Fortunately, Wu Huaiyu belonged to the Wei Pai of Banu Winery, and he showed the gemstone ring given to him by the eldest lady, and the bearded warrior Tuojie, the gatekeeper, immediately invited him in respectfully, and took him upstairs all the way to the back.

"Why is Erlang here?"

"I hope my aunt will help me find out where Master Gu is hiding, before dark."

"Uncle Guo found you?"

"Does the aunt know about this?"

"It's not a secret, Master Gu is showing off."

"Can you tell me where he hides before dark?"

"Do you really want to mess with him? He is from Bilong, and he is also very close to Chai Shao and Ma Sanbao."

"I know this, but this time I have to take him."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Gao Huitong went out and came back soon, "I have already ordered, wait for the news, I will arrange some ladies for you? Recently, I have a new daughter of a real Persian governor."

Huaiyu chuckled, "Where are there so many ladies?"

"This is true. The Persian Sasanian Empire and the Roman Byzantine Empire are now fighting fiercely, and each has their own civil strife. They have become a mess. Let alone the governor's daughter, there are so many princesses from the Persian Sasanian Empire and the Roman Byzantine Empire. , are all lost in a foreign land,

The Byzantine Emperor Morris I was killed by the military officer Phocas, and the Sassanid Emperor Khusi Lao Ersi took the opportunity to invade in the name of avenging his father-in-law, the Byzantine Emperor Morris.

Byzantium has been in turmoil for many years. Although Heraclius was born and eventually established a new dynasty of Byzantium, Rome's deadly enemy, Kush Lao II of the Persian Sasanian Dynasty, also took the opportunity to seize the whole of Egypt from the Byzantines.
Even three years ago, King Kuslao II supported the Avas and Slavs to besiege Constantinople. Although the Persian fleet was finally intercepted by the Byzantine fleet when it crossed the strait to prepare for a joint attack,

However, the Persian Sassanid and Byzantine Heraclius had an all-out war, and they kept fighting each other. King Kuslao II was scheming and cunning like a fox, but Heraclius was like an eagle, young and brave,

The two big powers are fighting with all their strength, and the result is that both sides have reached their limits, and the people are suffering unspeakably. Heavy military service, heavy taxes, the national strength of both sides are exhausted, local rebellions keep coming and going, and even the core areas of both sides are in danger. ravaged by war.

Historically, Kuslao II was murdered by his son Kawad II in the second year of Zhenguan. Kawad II gave up the Roman land that Kuslao II occupied during the civil strife in Byzantium, and temporarily reached an agreement with Emperor Heraclius. Armistice, Heraclius reinstalled the True Cross in Jerusalem.

However, Kawad II's imperial prestige was also hit hard, and he died of illness after only one year in office. After that, five consecutive Persian emperors were short-lived, two of which were the daughters of Khuslao II, and Persia fell into continuous internal strife. In fact, the central court has no authority, and local feudal towns are divided, just like after the Anshi Rebellion in Tang Dynasty.

So now the Persian Sasanian and Eastern Roman Byzantine empires are in dire straits. The royal family, governors, princes, and knights are constantly declining and defeated.

In contrast, the Eastern Great Tang is still rising.

After thinking about it, Persian Sassan died at the hands of Arabs. After the death of the last Persian emperor Yi Siqi, his prince Belus succeeded to the throne and fled to Tocharo to seek help from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty took Belus as the Persian governor The governor, and later he was recruited into Chang'an as a general of Youweiwei, and finally died in Chang'an and was buried in Luoyang.

Gao Huitong really smiled and brought the daughter of the Persian governor over.

This girl is called Shahr, and she comes from the famous Persian aristocratic Mihran family. Her father is Shah Balez, the governor of Persia. Syria, Canaan and Egypt have made great military exploits.

But now, in the face of Heraclius' counterattack, Shahballez has been defeated repeatedly. There are rumors that Shahballez and Heraclius have secretly reached some deals, deliberately letting the Byzantine army go straight in, and there are even rumors that Chirac A strategic commitment to support Shah Balez in seizing the Persian throne.

Therefore, Kusi's second son declared him a rebellion, and sold his wife and daughter in Taixifeng, the capital, as slaves.

Therefore, Shahbalez declared self-reliance, embraced his own self-respect, and no longer pledged allegiance to King Khuslao II.

The Mihran family is one of the top families of the Sassanian dynasty. The name Shah Balez is actually very interesting. It is not his real name, but the title given to him by King Kuslao II for rewarding him for his military exploits. King of boars.

The Boar King was born in a branch of the Mihran family, but at this time he was like An Lushan of Kusrau II, and his rebellion made Persia weaker and weaker.

Unfortunately, Shahr became a victim and was taken as a slave by the Persian emperor, and even sold to Sogdian merchants, who trafficked him all the way to Chang'an, the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

She had just arrived in Chang'an not long ago, and her tiredness had not washed away.

Facing the Duke Yi of the Eastern Great Tang Empire, he felt a little uneasy and fearful, like a frightened deer.

The Mihlan family is one of the top seven Sasanian families. In the Tang Dynasty, it is equivalent to the Cui Zheng and other families with five surnames and seven clans. This status is indeed remarkable.

It's a pity that she is just a humble slave girl now.

If I hadn’t met Wu Huaiyu today, maybe I’d been trained here for a few days, and I’d have to start entertaining guests under the name of her Mihran family, daughter of Persian governor and wild boar king Shahbarez up.

"Can you drink? San Lejiang or wine, or a glass of dragon paste wine?" Huaiyu asked.
