Since the birthday banquet of Li Mansion, Yang Fan has only occasionally gone to Dugu Mansion, and the rest of the time he has been in Gongsun Mansion with Xiaoman and Anu.
Since Yang Fan returned to Xiaoman's side, the child in Xiaoman's womb is not as noisy as a few days ago, probably because the father came back, the old lady was happy, the mood was stable, and he was also comfortable in his mother's belly.
It's only occasionally when he's happy that he punches and kicks again to show his presence.
At that time, Yang Fan and his wife were the happiest, they sensed every move of the fetus, and they would smile from ear to ear.
Although Xiaoman's labor date is approaching, the specific time is still uncertain, the young couple was confused at the beginning, Xiaoman didn't even know that he was pregnant, and now how can he determine the specific delivery date.
The child stayed in his mother's belly steadily, and there was no appearance of coming out for a while, but his mother was very quiet, and she was bored with Lang Jun in the back garden of Gongsun Mansion all day long, so she pestered Yang Fan to take her out for a walk.
Yang Fan saw that although she had a big belly, she was still light to walk around, but she couldn't resist her repeated requests, so he took her to Chang'an City in the past few days.
Sometimes, they would go to the Great Ci'en Temple and Qinglong Temple to watch the Hu people of the Western Regions perform sword swallowing and spitting fire, and sometimes they would go to the east and west markets to buy things.
When traveling, Anu and Xiaoman will also be like the noble women of Chang'an, wearing a "scarf" that covers the whole body, because there is also a grandson girl with them, so within a few days, the Hu people who perform illusions in front of the Great Ci'en Temple and the vendors who sell strange gadgets in the east and west markets have mastered a rule: When a young and handsome man accompanied three women wearing "scarlets" to them, the man would give a generous reward and buy a bunch of rags very casually, if the man was reluctant to spend money, the girl with the tallest figure among the three "scarlets" women would roar, so Yang Fan soon became their most welcome guest.
When Yang Fan took three extremely boring women to wander around all day, Jiang Gongzi had been living in the Lu family's mansion and was closed.
As the sun set, Jiang Gongzi carried a pot of shrimp and toad Ling's "Langguanqing" and slowly walked on the red leaves.
The red leaves are as scarlet as snow all over the ground, the jade trees fluttering in white clothes are in the wind, and sometimes he will raise a pot to drink a sip of wine, and his slender back is quite lonely.
Because the owner of this mansion has withdrawn to Fan Yang with his family, the house is very desolate, and Jiang Gongzi, who is slowly walking in the middle, is especially lonely, although he is still accompanied by a person step by step, but from his bones, there is still endless loneliness.
The man who followed him was whispering to him: "We haven't gotten any horses this year, because the horse dealers from the Hezhong region have been robbed by the Turkic tribes.
The Khitan and Hui Hui horse dealers who provided us with ordinary war horses are now getting closer and closer to Xiaofei's general Zhang Yi, and the ordinary war horses provided to us this year are also sixty percent less than last year, and I am afraid that next year will be less."
The more the man spoke, the more frightened he became, and secretly raised his head to glance at Jiang Gongzi's face, looking from the side and back, Jiang Gongzi's face was as calm as water, without the slightest anger, but Jiang Gongzi was like this when he was calm, and it was also like this when he was angry, and the man didn't know if Gongzi was angry now, and his heart was even more worried.
Jiang Gongzi said lightly: "The big horse can understand people's language, and it is most loved by the official eunuchs and generals in the army, this is not only a matter of income, but also a link between us and the wealthy families and generals in the army, and it is impossible to break off the ordinary war horses, Turkic and Hui Those horse merchants are only profitable, no matter how much money Shen Mu pays, as long as we are more than him for one percent, it may not be impossible to grab it back" "Yes" The man behind him was secretly relieved to see that Gongzi was not angry, but his mouth was a little bitter.
The four towns of Anxi are the main eastbound routes, and Shen Mu has established contact with the ten tribes of the Western Turks early, and even the great leader of the Turkish tribe among the ten tribes of the Western Turks, Wu Zhile, was able to replace Ashina Hu Sero and become the real khan of the ten tribes, all of which relied on Shen Mu's funding.
Now, the four towns of Anxi have arrived, and the ten tribes of the Western Turks have returned to their homeland, and the return has finally begun.
That one reward is BMW.
The big food horse is tall and mighty, it is the favorite thing of the Gaomen surname and even the generals in the army in various places, and a BMW is hard to find, but the BMW from the countries of the Western Regions has been monopolized by the Western Turks and turned into the hands of Shen Mu.
Not just horses, but camels.
Camels are the ships of the desert, and Shen Mu's investment in the ten tribes of the Western Turks has made him now monopolize more than eighty percent of the camel business in the Western Regions.
Camels were not only the fastest and safest means of transportation for caravans to travel through the Gobi and the plateau during the desert period, but also the demand for camels increased day by day after the imperial army re-expanded to the four towns of Anxi and affected as far as the Hezhong region.
Although the big horse is good, the price is too high, and it is impossible to equip a large number of people in the Tang army, so ordinary military war horses are still dominated by Mongolian ponies.
Datang itself also raises horses, but the war horses raised are far from meeting the requirements of the army, and a large number of war horses need to be purchased every year, and the source is the Western Turks and the Hui.
In the past few years, Xiao Fei has been a horse bandit in the Western Regions, and he has unwittingly established contact with the largest horse suppliers in the Western Turks and Hui countries.
As Jiang Gongzi said, this is not just a matter of a huge amount of income, but the influence that can be exerted on the military and the major forces in the Western Regions through the military horse business and the close relationship established with them.
With these, he is the uncrowned king who calls the wind and rain, and without these, who can he influence Jiang Gongzi also seemed to know that this matter was easy to say, but it was not easy to recover, so he walked slowly for a while, and said: "The top priority is to establish our new source of horses, Shen Mu has been working hard in the Western Regions for many years, and now he is in the limelight, and he can't take advantage of it for a while, so we will establish it with the Bohai Ya, Murowei and Xi tribes."
When Jiang Gongzi said this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes looked straight at the sky, and after a while, his face changed sharply: "Shen Mu went to Goryeo" The two fought in Chang'an to fight for power, but for the family, it was tantamount to fighting in the same room.
After the fight, the family admitted Shen Mu's strength and Jiang Gongzi's failure, but also punished Shen Mu and directly "assigned" him to Goryeo to open up trade routes.
But Jiang Gongzi suddenly thought of a terrible question: Will Yang Fan stay in Goryeo with peace of mind, will he go to Goryeo, will he be involuntarily himself, or will he take the initiative to do it Thinking about the various methods he used when he first traveled through the Western Regions, if the great leader who invested in Tuqishi, Uzile, is still traceable, then he sent Zhang Yi to be a horse bandit is completely imaginative, who would have thought that his real purpose was not only to cultivate a private army by war, but also to establish contact with the Turkic and Hui merchants In his habit of hiding his true purpose, he went to Goryeo, fearing that he would also go to the powerful forces in the northeast, such as the Bohai Eagle, Murowei, and Xi tribes.
The more Jiang Gongzi thought about it, the more frightened he became, his heart was hot, and his palms were sweating.
The person next to him saw that his face was extremely ugly, and said cautiously: "My subordinates immediately arranged for someone to contact the big chieftains of the Bohai Eagle, Murowei and Xi tribes to try, or Shen Mu may not have thought about it for so long." ” Jiang Gongzi was like a rusty neck, and he shook it with difficulty for a while, and said: "Niu Ma Yuan is an important business for us, if you want to abandon this business and find another way to make money, it is easy, but the connections we have worked hard for many years will be abolished, and all the powerful forces that are connected by this business will be broken." ” Not only did his neck seem to be rusty, but his voice also seemed to be rusty, and it was very ugly: "You try it, if you can't do it, then turn to southern Xinjiang, although the Sichuan horse and the Dian horse are shorter, but they have long strength, the short range is not as good as the big Wan good horse, but the long road is better, with the friendship we have formed in the past, they may not not accept it."
Shen Mu wants to trap me and completely destroy my foundation, it's impossible."
Before the words were finished, there was a man who came from afar, although he was not running, but the pace was very large, the speed was extremely fast, a few points faster than ordinary people running, all the way, the scarlet maple leaves under his feet were flying, as if he had a pair of hot wheels under his feet, all the way, the flames were churning.
"Childe, Luo Jing sent an urgent report by an eight-hundred-mile fast horse" When the man arrived in front of Jiang Gongzi, he didn't even have time to give a gift, so he hurriedly handed over a secret note.
Jiang Gongzi hurriedly opened the secret and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp, and his hands trembled slightly.
Empress Wu Zetian transferred Yang Fan to enter the Tianguan Yamen, appointed the Tianguan Langzhong, and the right to know the Tianguan Lang.
Since Wu Zetian ascended the throne, according to the weekly system, the six departments of the official household rites and soldiers and criminal work were changed to the six parts of heaven and earth, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Tianguan Yamen is the Ministry of Officials, and during the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Ministry of Officials was the head of the six departments of Shangshu Province, and Yang Fan was promoted Jiang Gongzi didn't care about Yang Fan's promotion, nor did he care about his transfer from the Criminal Department to the Ministry of Officials, the question was why he was promoted at this time, why did he let him know the Heavenly Officials and Servants, and the Quan Zhi was the agent, Yang Fan acted as the Officials of the Ministry of Officials, and the Officials of the Ministry of Officials, the Division of Seals, the Division of Honors, and the Department of Examination were all under his control, and he had the right to decide the appointment and dismissal of the officials of the Heavenly Officials, examinations, promotions, awards, transfers, and so on At this moment, Wu Zetian suddenly transferred Yang Fan to the Ministry of Officials, and gave him almost all the powers that he could exercise in the Ministry of Officials, what was the purpose Jiang Gongzi immediately thought of the southern border states that were in full swing in the imperial court, the family and other forces, and were eager to carry out a large-scale cleansing together, and immediately thought of the piece of fat that everyone was staring at with red eyes, and the female emperor wanted to hand over this piece of fat to Yang Fan to share To be continued:
