Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 425 Hurry to the north to declare the rich and poor in the mansion
"Our brothers have to go out to do errands in this bad weather. Didn't we worship that road god last year?"

"No, Fenzhou is okay in winter, but Taiyuan Mansion is three points colder, and I have to go to Datong to export it, and go to eat knife wind in the first lunar month..."

On the official road from Taiyuan Prefecture to Datong Town, more than a dozen horses and two carriages are marching. There are no banners on the carriages, but the workmanship of the wooden parts shows that the horses pulling the carts are all the same color, and the coachmen are covered with leather robes. Wearing a padded jacket, he knew that this carriage must belong to a wealthy family.

Looking at the knights on horseback, they are all dressed as guards, with woolen cloaks, a straight long knife hanging on one side of the saddle, and a bow and arrow hanging on the other side. They are all strong men.

Such cavalry guards, such a car, this is not a simple statement from a wealthy family, it must be an important person in your family.

But the northern part of Taiyuan Mansion is extremely cold during the first month of the twelfth lunar month, and it is indeed a pain to walk on the road. The two guards who fell behind complained in a low voice.

A guard in front pulled off his horse, a little slower, and after standing side by side with the two behind, he yelled in a low voice:
"Don't shut up yet. That guest is the young master's honored guest. If your words reach the young master's ears, you won't have to be skinned and cramp."

"Third Brother, you have to tell me. How cold is it? It would be good if you can stay in Datong City for a few days. You can sleep comfortably with Datong girls in your arms. Brothers are also working hard, but you can't rest this day. ..."

After being told by these two people, the third brother was also a little moved, but at this time the door of the carriage in front opened, and a man leaned out and shouted:
"Brothers, I will pass Yangfang to enter Datong Mansion tonight. At dinner time, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver. Everyone hurry up. If you can enter Datong City as early as possible, let everyone rest for a day, and all expenses will be covered by my master." Already!"

Working as a bodyguard in the Yu family, managing food and housing for a year, and getting 15 taels of cash in cash, is considered pretty good. This sudden reward is really generous, not to mention going to Datong for a day of fun.

The mood of the people who had been slack suddenly rose, there was a lot of strange screams, and even the coachman regained his energy, and the horsewhip in his hand was crackling, and it was a little faster again.

**********
Datong Mansion is the same as ordinary prefectures and counties, but if you go out of Datong Mansion City and go north, you must have a customs defense document issued by Datong Border Town and a road guide from Datong Mansion's countersign before you can go out.

Because if you go further north, you will get out of Juqiang Fort, or go easterly out of Huyukou and several other openings, and you will arrive at the place controlled by the Tartars, which is regarded as an enemy country and must be strictly investigated.

That is to say, but I do not know how many people in Datong Prefecture and even Shanxi Province rely on this trade to make a fortune. The border generals in Datong Town have the power to trade with the official Tartars, and the guards below rely on privately letting merchants leave the customs to make money. A little money, everyone understands tacitly.

But for ordinary people, walking in Datong Mansion will be extremely troublesome, because there are check cards from border town soldiers everywhere, and they will be turned away if they make a mistake.

But the small convoy of Yongsheng Bo Yu's family didn't have this trouble. Everyone politely let them know the identity of Yu's family. There are still about [-]% of the generals in Datong Town who are Yong Shengbo's old troops, let alone The Yu family is a big merchant that trades with Tatars, and it is said that the chief military officer also has shares in it.

Just entered Datong City, this is the last transit point to the grassland. All the big merchants who do business with the grassland captives have a store in Datong City for storage and transportation.

Uncle Yongsheng's convoy stopped at a big inn, and the guards took the rewards and went to the place of fireworks, but a few people escorted a middle-aged man to Yongsheng's warehouse, which was a place a year ago. The largest branch of Yongsheng Warehouse was not slowly caught up by Tianjin branch until this year.

This New Year's Eve, when the guys go home, the shop is very deserted, but when the middle-aged man arrives, the whole shop becomes busy. Some passers-by glanced at it and found that there were more than a dozen large cars already in the shop. It was full of goods, and it looked like it was about to go out. Everyone wondered, what business is there at this time of year.

On the second day, the guards came back with sloppy footsteps. Twelve carts were ready, and they were about to leave after a simple tidying up. The reward of 20 taels was issued again, and everyone immediately had no complaints.

Hurrying all the way, the team passed Huyukou and entered the grassland on the third day of the first lunar month. Mr. Qian, who guarded Huyukou, took a leave of absence and came to Datong City the next day. Some people who knew the news said that this Qianzong suddenly got a benefit of 3000 taels.

Libian Township in Datong has been around for almost 200 years, and everything has its own regulations. The guarding army can take as much as they want. It is a long-term business. This time, they got 3000 taels. I don’t know how much the goods are passing through the border...

**************
When Huwei Camp arrived at Xuanfu, it was already the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the carnival of the Lantern Festival was over, everyone was exhausted, and there was nothing new about the arrival of the imperial army.

However, when Wang Tong's team was walking in Xuanfu, there were often soldiers from the military battalion looking at it through the barracks. They were very envious of the carts of the Huwei Camp and the leather jackets and cotton-padded clothes worn by the soldiers. The patched ones are considered new clothes.

There were also people laughing at the side of the road, and Wang Tong also heard a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm such as "rich son" and "young master soldier", but these words were a bit sour no matter how he heard them, so he laughed them off.

Xuanfu town doesn't have to be inferior to Hejianfu city, it looks like a bustling city. When you get here, you can't refuse the invitation of the generals in the city. Being in a place guarded by others, you have to sell some face.

What's more, the person who came to invite was Li Tao, the youngest son of Li Yunsheng, the vice general of Xuan Town, Li Tao rode out to greet him when Huwei Camp was thirty miles away from Xuanfu Town.

When he was in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, Li Tao was the leader of the youths in the Xuanfu, and he kept a low profile after following Wang Tong's side. This Xuanfu is his family's territory, and the style is extraordinary.

Li Tao came on horseback, wearing finely crafted scale armor, with more than [-] followers around him, all of them were well-armored strong men, and the horses were also first-class horses. Such a character, one can tell at a glance that he is If Li Tao, the personal guard next to the general, was walking in the capital, he might be mistaken for the prince of that family or even the son of the father-in-law's family.

Although he was imposing, he was a little ashamed when he saw Wang Tong. He got off the horse early, came over to salute with fists, and said:
"Brother Wang, long time no see, you have been great!"

However, Wang Tong noticed the style of the robe and boots of Li Tao's scale armor coat. This Li Tao should be a garrison. With his father's relationship, he must be a real-time garrison with soldiers and power. Wang Tong also noticed that Li Tao was a garrison. Tao bowed down like this, and several of the personal guards behind him raised their brows.

In Bianzhen, besides the supervising army and the general soldier, Li Yunsheng, the deputy chief soldier, is the biggest. What's more, now that Ma Fang is temporarily acting, Li Yunsheng is newly promoted. , and got the position of Chief Qian given by the emperor, and came back to serve as a guard. Such a young talent is so humble to give gifts to others. What makes these people even more angry is that Wang Tong accepted it so proudly.

How about the battalion officers of the imperial army, although they are of high rank, but when they came to Xuanzhen, even if Deng Pu, the battalion officer of the left guard of Longxiang, was not polite, behind Li Tao was Li Yunsheng, the deputy commander in chief. Representing the attitude of Li Yunsheng behind him, Wang Tong is so arrogant, isn't it the same for Li Yunsheng.

"Lizi, this is the official uniform of the guard. Where are you guarding in the Xuan Mansion!"

Wang Tong asked with a smile, Li Tao's face became more ashamed, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"Brother Wang, after you came back, your subordinate's father stopped you from going back, so it's been delayed until now..."

Before Li Tao finished speaking, he was suddenly punched heavily in the stomach, but Li Hu jumped out from behind, and said angrily there:
"Lizi, you are not enough friends. Sun Xin and I are so busy training soldiers and horses in Tianjin Wei, but you are a young master in Xuanfu. Have you forgotten what we said when we went from the capital to Tianjin Wei!!"

The suddenness of this punch, even though he was wearing scale armor, made people take a few steps back. The guards behind Li Tao were shocked, and each of them subconsciously drew their knives out of their sheaths. Down.

Wang Tong heard "Don't they know the master, they dare to do this!!", Sun Xin, Ma Sanbiao and the guards also came over, but Li Tao also lowered his voice and shouted, "You know Who is he, that is the good friend of Lord Long Live..."

The restless guards were stunned, and immediately quieted down. Li Tao turned around with a smile and said:

"Brother Wang, I respectfully invite you to the banquet. My father has already arranged a banquet..."

************
Needless to say, the first-class pork, beef, and mutton, and all kinds of game, the seafood that can be seen on the top-class banquet in Tianjin Wei can also be seen at the family banquet of Li Yunsheng, the deputy general of Xuanzhen. This is really amazing It's not easy, although there is no need to worry about spoilage when transporting seafood in winter, but the transportation and horses along the way are costly, and I don't know how much money and manpower it will cost.

Fine porcelain dishes, silver cups and jade cups, these are Wang Tong's acquaintances, the fragrance that can be smelled as soon as he enters the room, the materials used for tables, chairs and furniture, and the value of various decorations, these are not familiar to Wang Tong .

What's more, once entering the mansion, the maids and maids who occasionally show up are not inferior in appearance and demeanor to the women in the Qin Pavilion, and their clothes are even more silk and satin, which may not be worn by even middle-class families.

"Master Li really enjoys it here, but it opened Wang's eyes!"

Wang Tong raised his glass with a smile and said, but for some reason, he thought of those Xuanzhen soldiers he saw along the way, and the cotton coats they were wearing were still patched...
