Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't seem to understand, Zhang Yanyu explained to Chen Ying.This four-door school is not a primary school in the sense of later generations, but one of the three schools that were officially written in the Guozijian together with Guozi and Taixue. The royal school for the children of the royal family.To put it bluntly, it is a professor who teaches the children of the royal family.Moreover, Zhang Wencong's rank is not low, and he belongs to the sixth-rank Beijing official.

"It turns out that brother Zhang is still an official!"

"After being an official, it's not because of poverty."

"Brother Zhang's house had a major accident?"

Zhang Yanyu shook his head.

Chen Ying was very surprised. Although the salaries of officials in the Tang Dynasty could not be compared with those in the Song Dynasty, they were still very impressive in ancient times.Based on Chen Ying's current official position, he is a fifth-rank official, and can receive a salary of 180 shi, which is about 60 yuan. About RMB [-].

Of course, Zhang Wencong, who is a sixth-rank official, has a lower income, but his annual salary is about 33 yuan.With this kind of income, although I dare not say that I am rich and rich, at least I can say that I have no worries about food and clothing.

After Zhang Yanyu's explanation, Chen Ying finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that in September of the first year of Wude, Zhang Wenzong wrote a poem "The name is good, the genre is the primate. The map is four duds, and the astronomy is five. The square flows and the jade is smooth, and the circle moves the pearl. The unique Mengyuan Official, play in Haoliang in Qiyan." I don't know why this song actually reached Li Yuan's ears,

Li Yuan liked this poem very much, and at that time rewarded Zhang Wencong with the best rice paper and Hui ink.Here comes trouble. Zhang Wencong is a very pure person. He likes to write, and he can't put it down.Every day, no matter it is windy or rainy, at least one knife must be written.

It turned out that he used jute paper and pine ink to write, but the Zhang family could barely afford it.But ever since he used the Xuan paper and Hui ink rewarded by Li Yuan, Zhang Wencong became obsessed with Xuan paper and Hui ink all at once.

In the beginning, Zhang Yanyu's mother just squeezed some money between her teeth to buy paper and ink for Zhang Wencong in order to meet Zhang Wencong's needs, but now a knife of rice paper costs [-] yuan, and Zhang Wencong will use it up in a day.The originally impoverished Zhang family was wiped out by Zhang Wencong in just one month.

In desperation, Zhang Yanyu's mother sold the dowry that should be sold, but still could not fill the hole left by Zhang Wencong, but Wen Cong would lose his temper if there was no rice paper in the family. Yu Zhengyang borrowed money.

However, loan sharks are fine if you don't touch them, but if you encounter them, your family will be ruined.Where does Zhang Yanyu have the money to return it to Yu Zhengyang, as long as he hides.

Hearing what Zhang Yanyu said, Chen Ying was speechless.He thought that Zhang Yanyu was either because someone in the family was sick or because of bad gambling, but he never thought that Zhang Yanyu borrowed usury to buy rice paper for his father.

However, according to Zhang Wencong’s way of playing, ordinary people really can’t afford it, not to mention that he is only a sixth-rank official, even if he is promoted to third-rank in the future, his annual income will be equivalent to one million, but the prices in the Tang Dynasty were very low, and the value of copper coins was very high. .Converted from the usual money, it is almost equivalent to 5000 yuan, even if it is the third rank of the official residence, it is only equivalent to more than [-] guan, which is not enough to spend half a year.

Chen Ying had no choice but to look at Zhang Yanyu with sympathy.

Chen Ying was short of people, so he wanted to win Zhang Yanyu into the curtain, but the price of winning Zhang Yanyu was too high, not to mention that he is only a fifth-rank official now, even if he builds a government in the future, he will not be able to use someone like Zhang Yanyu.

Unless, the price of rice paper can be lowered.But now I can only think about it, and Chen Ying doesn't have the energy.

Chen Ying found that there were a few people sneaking around in front of his house, not like good people.Liang Zan saw that Chen Ying was paying attention, so he explained: "This should be the eye of some family, do you want to catch him and ask?"

Chen Ying shook his head, more things are worse than less things.What's more, after Wei Zheng made a fuss, the whole of Chang'an became more and more Jiaxin himself was Li Xiuning's photo, and no one who was not open-eyed wanted to find his own bad luck.As for Chai Shao, Chen Ying was a little dissatisfied.

Since you fucking wronged me, I might as well give you some eye drops.

It would be a lie to say that Chen Ying didn't have feelings for Li Xiuning, but Chen Ying was conceited that he didn't have Wei Qing's ability, and he wanted to win a beautiful woman back, unless he could become someone like Wei Qing, who would require the emperor to spend all his efforts to win him over.The action to support Li Jiancheng in Lingzhou will not be too slow.Therefore, there would not be much time left for Chen Ying, so after much deliberation, Chen Ying felt that he should visit Li Xiuning before leaving.

Naturally, he couldn't go empty-handed when he visited Li Xiuning.However, he had already read the list of gifts in Chen Ying's mansion at this time, and there was nothing worth selling at all.In fact, although the Chen family is an upstart in Chang'an, it is still too far away for this upstart to control the court.Almost all those who came here to curry favor with Chen Ying were low-level officials...

Chen Ying walked to the door and watched a thin-faced young man who had done a few patches on his clothes but was washed cleanly came over. The weather was cold at this time, and he and this young man were shivering in the cold wind, "We don't have anyone to go here. To buy things in Dongshi, how much do you want if you help us walk around?"

"See what you buy?"

"Are you literate?"

"Know how many."

"Then wait a moment," Chen Ying entered the room and wrote a list and handed it to him, "Look, buy all these things and send them over, and let the shopkeeper come to the house to collect money, how much extra money do you want to charge?"

"There are not many things, but they are very expensive! Sir, if you don't have time to buy them, you can run errands and let their store deliver the goods for you to choose from!"

Chen Yingyi thought that this method was the best, sitting at home and waiting for customers to deliver the goods to their door, wouldn't this be equivalent to the Meituan takeaway in later generations?

When the lights were on at night, four or five merchants came to the door with goods. Chen Ying chose a good Hetian mutton fat jade bracelet. The mutton fat jade was slowly hyped during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. There was no Hetian mutton fat jade bracelet in the Tang Dynasty. The price of jade is not expensive, and the piece Chen Ying chose was pure white, with a warm color and an excellent hand feel.

Moreover, the carvings are extremely delicate, such a piece of suet jade can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but in this era, it is only two pennies, and after conversion, it is less than one-tenth of that of later generations.And this one is definitely a first-class product of pure nature.

Chapter 92 Li Xiuning's Wrath

In addition to this suet jade bracelet, Chen Ying also bought a box of four longan-sized pearls, but pearls are indeed very expensive, four pearls cost a total of six hundred guan.On average, one piece costs 150 guan.But what puzzled Lan'er the most was that Chen Ying spent eighteen pennies to buy a Shih Tzu.

A cow is no more than six to eight rounds, and a horse is no more than twelve or three rounds, but a dog only costs eighteen rounds, which caused Lan Er to complain again and again: "Mr. You shouldn't be talking too much, but you bought such a useless brute, it's just too..."

"Too prodigal?" Chen Ying petted this Shih Tzu dog. The Shih Tzu is an ancient dog breed in China.This Shih Tzu is snow white, with long hair, big eyes, and a head that is neither big nor small, giving people a very cute feeling.

Chen Yingdao: "You don't understand that. The Shih Tzu is small in size and attached to its owner. It is suitable for family breeding. It has a lively temperament and is very loyal and trustworthy to its owner. When you are free, you will feel very comfortable if you hug it!"

Lan'er saw that Chen Ying didn't listen to persuasion at all, so she quickly kept her mouth shut.

Gift giving is actually a big science.Chen Ying now knew that the relationship between Li Xiuning and Chai Shao was not like what was written in the history books, and it couldn't be more rigid.The current Li Xiuning is actually very lonely. Chen Ying gave her a Shih Tzu just to let this Shih Tzu eliminate Li Xiuning's loneliness and accompany her to pass the boring time.

Chen Ying picked ten top-quality Shu brocades from the treasury, and some trivial gifts, loaded them into the cart, and walked towards Princess Pingyang's mansion.

Before Chen Ying went to call the door, he saw Ma Sanbao dragging him out.

"Chen Langjun, you came just in time, and I was about to ask you for a drink!"

"That's good!" Chen Ying said, "I'll go to see Princess Pingyang first, and I'll look for you later!"

The situation in Datang was like a roller coaster during the Wude period.Absolutely thrilling enough, first, Xiqin Xueju defeated Li Shimin, Zong Luohu threatened Chang'an, causing Chang'an to be shocked three times a day, and the wind was jittery.It was not easy to solve Zong Luohu, Xue Ju died, and the Western Qin Dynasty was in decline. As a result, another rebellion was launched in the surrounding area, and Bashu was almost poisoned.

After solving Pang Qidi and Xue Ju, the Turks made trouble in Lingzhou again, and Wang Shichong was watching Tongguan.It was finally hoped that Wei Zheng would discuss joining Li Mi on behalf of Li Mi, and Du Fuwei also intended to surrender.

As a result, Li Yuan hadn't had a good night's sleep yet. Here, Liu Wuzhou launched his troops to attack Fenzhou and Jinzhou, and Li Yuanji, the governor of Qi, and Yu Wenxin, the general of the right guard, were at odds with each other.In the face of the great enemy, internal disharmony is a taboo for military strategists. We must send someone who can suppress Li Yuanji here.

Originally, there were people who had the qualifications and prestige to suppress Li Yuanji. Veteran ministers like Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing could suppress Li Yuanji, but neither Pei Ji nor Liu Wenjing could pull away.Pei Ji cooperated with Prince Li Jiancheng to improve the legal system and allocate food and grass, while Liu Wenjing was in charge of negotiating with Wei Zheng.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan thought that only Li Xiuning could pull away.

Li Xiuning is Li Yuanji's third sister. Although Li Xiuning didn't think that Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were very naughty when they were young, they all listened to Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning told Li Yuanji to go east, but he would never dare to go west.

In the past, when Li Xiuning went out of Taiyuan, she would never have any worries. She packed up her simple luggage and was ready to go at any time. However, at this moment, she had someone in her heart that she wanted to leave but didn't want to.

After returning from the palace today, Li Xiuning was a little bit out of her mind. Li Yuan had already made love to her. Taiyuan is the land of Longxing, so it must not be lost.Taiyuan has more than [-] strong soldiers and horses, and the pre-stored military rations are enough to support consumption for three years. To support Taiyuan, Li Xiuning only needs to lead his personal guards to rush there.

Li Yuan was about to dismiss Li Yuanji from the post of governor of Bingzhou and ordered Li Xiuning to replace him.Sitting in the dormitory, Li Xiuning felt uneasy, because she also heard that Li Yuan also intends to appoint Chen Ying as the marching commander to lead the Donggong You to lead Wei Xun's first mansion, Xun's second mansion, and Zuo Wuwei's two mansions, a total of four mansions Four thousand and eight hundred people supported Lingzhou.

In comparison, the pressure on Taiyuan is not too great, and what worries Li Xiuning most is Lingzhou.Because Lingzhou is directly facing the Turkic people, and the Turkic cavalry come and go like the wind, they will never sit back and watch Chen Ying arrive in Lingzhou smoothly. They are all ambush sites.

Can Chen Ying handle it?

Supporting Lingzhou is a very big challenge, but also a very good opportunity.Li Xiuning struggled for a long time, and did not raise any objection to Li Yuan, but after returning, Li Xiuning was very disturbed.

Just when Li Xiuning was thinking about it, suddenly there was a barking sound from outside the dormitory.Li Xiuning couldn't help feeling tense, she just wanted Cui'er to see what's going on, but she heard Chen Ying's voice: "Be good, baby, don't make trouble, this will be your new home from now on!"

The barking slowly died down and the dog whined.

Li Xiuning didn't want Chen Ying to see her mourning and self-pity, so she took a deep breath to calm down, and after a while, just listening to the door being pushed open with a "squeak", Li Xiuning was startled again, and raised her head in a panic Looking around, I saw Chen Ying's smiling face.

At this moment, Chen Ying was holding a small white dog, and gently stroking the head of this little dog.
