Chapter 213 Seeing Anlu Mountain Secretly

"Go, get things done. This is the official's token, you keep it well. When you return from Tubo in the future, you can go directly to Lingzhou to find the official." Zhang Xuan waved his hand a little tiredly, "Go on. .”

"The villain understands, the villain will definitely do it for the governor." Wu Xian did not dare to stay any longer, bowed gratefully, and then withdrew.

The car curtain was closed tightly, Zhang Xuan let out a long breath, and sighed again.

He slowly closed his eyes, and couldn't help but think of Yang Sanjie, mother and son.

According to his arrangement, Sanjie Yang and Pei Hui's mother and son went into business secretly, and opened a large business firm - "Zhonghua Firm", whose operating capital was part of the wealth Zhang Xuan obtained from the secret room of the Governor's Mansion.

The purpose of Zhang Xuan’s decision to let Third Sister Yang’s mother and son go into business is very simple. One is to “launder money” and convert this astonishing treasure wealth into legal money and capital; the other is to cooperate with his follow-up planning and provide all-round support in terms of capital and materials.

Now Third Sister Yang, mother and son should be on their way to Longshuo.Zhang Xuan asked Sanjie Yang to build a trade route from Longshuo to Chang'an in the shortest possible time, and establish trade bases in Longshuo, Hexi and other places, regardless of cost and cost.When necessary, he will even use his power to remove all kinds of obstacles for the operation of Sanjie Yang's "Zhonghua Company".

It doesn't matter if you make money or not, but you must keep up with Zhang Xuan's development in Longshuo.This is the bottom line that Zhang Xuan and Yang Sanjie privately confessed.

Sanjie Yang already has a lot of properties under her name.She has ready-made business operation talents and corresponding network resources, but Zhang Xuan gave her sufficient capital to make her bigger and stronger as soon as possible.

No one in Chang'an dignitaries paid attention to this mother and son, even the members of the Yang family gradually stopped paying attention to Third Sister Yang after Mrs. Guo Guo announced her withdrawal from the high society in Chang'an to go into seclusion.No one expected that the mother and son of Sanjie Yang, who had retired behind the scenes, would be born a few years later, and they would become the behind-the-scenes bosses of Datang's largest firm, rich as a country.

In this sense, the mother and son of Sanjie Yang can be regarded as Zhang Xuan's non-staff logistics ministers.In his planning chapter, it occupies an extremely heavy weight.

Zhang Xuan's thoughts flashed, he closed his eyes and subconsciously stretched his body, then stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Hua Nuer immediately blushed and gritted her teeth in embarrassment, and glared at Zhang Xuan bitterly.After hesitating for a while, he came over to reach out and began to gently knead and massage Zhang Xuan.

Her movements became more and more proficient, and she became more and more proficient in controlling the strength of the ground, so that Zhang Xuan has gradually become accustomed to receiving her full-body massage, which has become the most pleasant means of relaxing the body and mind.

The chariots and horses moved slowly, and suddenly there was a thud, as if they had stopped suddenly, and the car body shook violently.

Zhang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, but Hua Nuer was caught off guard, and was caught by the inertia, and fell on Zhang Xuan involuntarily.

Hua Nuer let out a soft exclamation, she put her hands on Zhang Xuan's chest and was about to get up, but Zhang Xuan put his arms around her waist and pulled her over again.

Her whole body is attached to Zhang Xuan's body, and her face is almost close to Zhang Xuan's face. This posture is really both seductive and embarrassing.

With Hua Nuer's skill, if she wants to resist forcefully, Zhang Xuan will definitely not be able to hug her.But Hua Nuer couldn't resist forcefully, so she could only raise her face vigorously, and whispered in shame and indignation, "What are you going to do? Let go of the slave!"

Zhang Xuan frowned, "Shh! Don't shout!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't seem to be playing tricks, but there seemed to be some other reason, Hua Nuer was stunned, and was about to say something, suddenly felt the car body shaking, as if the sky was spinning, and outside the window, people shouted Hissing was a mess.

"There's an earthquake!" Zhang Xuan's face changed, and he immediately sat up and shouted, "Don't be dazed, get out of the car!"

……

……

It turned out to be an earthquake, and the shaking was very strong.Fortunately, Zhang Xuan's army horse team was walking in the wilderness and on the official road. Except for some horses being frightened and the carriage overturned, there were no casualties.

Zhang Xuan got out of the car, and under the protection of Hua Nuer, he found an empty space and stood still.I saw that the military horse team that stretched for several miles quickly restored order after a temporary panic, which shows that Feng Changqing managed the army well.

Under the official road on the left, the ground cracked, and above the fertile farmland in front, a large pit with a radius of several tens of feet appeared out of thin air.

In Zhang Xuan's view, this was just a normal earthquake and geographical phenomenon, and the soldiers onlookers were obviously a little flustered and frightened.

Even Feng Changqing and the others suddenly changed their complexions, thinking that this is not a good omen and should be classified as a warning from the heavens.

Zhang Xuan's expression was normal, and he signaled Feng Changqing to appease the whole army immediately, to rest in place and not to move, in case of aftershocks.He couldn't explain the scientific knowledge of earthquakes to these subordinates, and he didn't bother to explain.

Hua Nuer had never experienced an earthquake, and her face was a little pale.She followed closely beside Zhang Xuan, seeing Zhang Xuan still standing on a high place and staring at the way, his expression changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After leaving Chang'an for a few days, walking slowly, this place should not be very far from Chang'an.Since an earthquake occurred here, maybe Chang'an is also the same.I just don't know where the epicenter of the earthquake is. Is it Chang'an, Yongzhou behind, or Puzhou in front?
It would be fine if it was Puzhou in front, but if the epicenter was in the Chang'an area, then this sudden earthquake might mean not only a natural disaster, but also a political disturbance.

Li Heng is currently leading the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to set up an altar in Lishan to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens and pray for the old emperor.It happens that an earthquake occurs at this time, and it happens to be regarded as a "bad omen" or a "warning from heaven"... Then...

Zhang Xuan strode down the cracked earth slope, Feng Changqing and others quickly surrounded him.

"Great Governor!"

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked around at the crowd, and said calmly, "Don't panic, it's just an earthquake. Order the whole army to rest where they are, and continue their journey in an hour's time."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan suddenly seemed to remember something, frowning and beckoning to Zhang Xun, "Master Zhang, where is Chen Tong?"

Zhang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Chen Canjun should be over there..."

While speaking, Chen Tong ran over out of breath, "Meet the governor!"

Zhang Xuan walked over a few steps, grabbed Chen Tong's hand, and said in a low voice, "There were no casualties among your people?"

"If you go back to the governor, only one fell from the horse and was slightly injured, and the others are fine." Chen Tong knew that Zhang Xuan was worried that the young masters under his management would go wrong and cause him trouble.

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, "Okay, you have to keep them under control, and don't make trouble."

Chen Tong led away, Feng Changqing walked over slowly, Zhang Xuan glanced at him, and said softly, "Lord Feng, immediately send out scouts to see if there is an earthquake in Puzhou ahead... At the same time, step up If you have any news about the connection with Chang'an, let me know at any time!"

……

……

According to the news from the investigation, the main area of ​​the earthquake should come from the Chang'an line.As the army and horses continued to move eastward, the signs of the earthquake became weaker and weaker.

Just as Zhang Xuan guessed, Chang'an City was right at the center of the earthquake, countless houses collapsed in the city, and even some palaces in the imperial city were destroyed.The earthquake struck, and many people died. The people of Chang'an City were terrified and frightened, and their hearts were fluctuating.

And the Lishan Palace, where Li Heng led the civil and military officials, naturally did not escape the catastrophe.Individual palaces in Lishan other palaces were overturned, roads were cracked, and even the newly built altar for offering sacrifices to heaven was partially damaged.

Although there were not many casualties, for Li Heng, this was almost equivalent to a slap in the face from God.As the prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, he was in charge of state affairs, and this time he was praying for the old emperor, but this kind of natural disaster happened at this juncture, which was an invisible blow to his reputation.

There have been many rumors and rumors spreading, saying that Li Heng's administration is unethical, causing dissatisfaction from the heavens, and sending out warning signs, and so on.

Li Heng stood gloomy in the empty field in front of the main hall of the Lishan Palace, behind him were many courtiers with complex expressions.

Chen Xuanli strode over and bowed down to Li Heng, "Your Highness, it has been verified that 110 houses in Chang'an City collapsed, streets and squares were destroyed, Xingqing Palace collapsed in two palaces, and the imperial city wall collapsed in one... total More than 240 people died."

The corner of Li Heng's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand abruptly, "Quickly appease the people, repair the houses and palaces... and think about it!"

After finishing speaking, Li Heng turned around and left in a huff.

Yang Guozhong, Chen Xilie and others quickly followed.

……

……

Three days later, the army approached Puzhou Fucheng and camped outside the city.Such a large group of soldiers and horses encamped was naturally very powerful, causing shocks inside and outside the city.

Li De, the governor of Puzhou, led a group of officials out of the city to meet Zhang Xuan, but they only saw Feng Changqing.In the commander's tent of the military camp, only Feng Changqing and the others were discussing matters.

"Lord Feng, Li De, the governor of Puzhou, is asking to see the governor!"

Feng Changqing twitched his eyebrows, and secretly gave a wry smile.Before the army arrived at Puzhou City, Zhang Xuan had already left the army with Hua Nuer and Nan Jiyun, and entered Puzhou City in disguise.What Zhang Xuan was going to do, Feng Changqing didn't know, let alone ask.

Feng Changqing, Zhang Xun and others brought Li De into the account.

"Lord Feng, I'm here to pay a visit to the chief executive, but I don't know the chief executive..." Li De smiled and cupped his hands.

"Inspector Li, the governor has been feeling unwell recently. He is recuperating in the back tent and has not seen any outsiders for the time being. Please forgive me, Lord Inspector." Feng Changqing smiled back.

Li De was startled, and secretly groaned in his heart.

It was false that he came to see Zhang Xuan this time, but it was true that he had invited Zhang Xuan to the city to have a banquet at his governor's mansion under the orders of An Lushan.

One day ago, An Lushan sneaked into Puzhou in a micro-clothes with more than a hundred guards, which frightened Li De greatly.Later, when he learned that An Lushan was coming to see Zhang Xuan, he was even more surprised.
