Tang's dining table

"No!"

"That means you are not worthy of the family master's trust. Do things well in the Japanese country and get things done. The family master will trust you even if you don't know. In the Yun family, honest people never fail to do their jobs."

"So, we are the retainers of the Yun family?"

"I am, but you are not!"

"I understand..." Xue Changfeng left the canteen with a sense of infinite sadness.

Standing on the beach and looking at the vast waves, Xue Changfeng walked on the beach for a long time against the strong sea breeze. Although the two servants Kuaishou and Dashandi were blown away by the sea breeze at the end of September, they still loyally guarded him.

When all the clouds in front of him cleared, Xue Changfeng couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that it wasn't Yin Erhu who didn't tell him who the real master was, but that Yin Erhu had told him long ago, but he always thought he was lying to him.

In other words, there are indeed higher-level beings above the Yun Sect, but people like him can only stop at the Yun Sect.

Shopkeeper Teng dispelled Xue Changfeng's self-righteousness with just a few words, especially the third-level shopkeeper Teng casually mentioned who worked hard in the white mountains and black waters, or the third-level shopkeeper who was in the jungle of Nanzhao. They were just a spear thrust out by the Yun family. A knife with a sharp handle, obviously, he is now too!

What else could it be?

Xue Changfeng admitted it. Maybe he had been looking down on himself and not given himself an accurate position.

Seeing dozens of ships setting sail at the harbor, Xue Changfeng couldn't help but sigh. Smart Japanese never cross the sea in August or September. Japanese with more experience know that it is easy to encounter the divine wind at this time.

Those leaving were some families who couldn't wait to go to the Japanese country in advance. Xue Changfeng saluted the sailing ship in the distance and wished them a safe journey.

They couldn't have the boats of the Eni people. When they arrived, the boats of the Yi people were too old. In Xue Changfeng's eyes, these so-called boats were actually just rafts that could float on the sea.

Furthermore, the Ezo people can give you their goods, their wives, and their children, but not their boats. Anyone who wants their boats will encounter fierce resistance from the Ezo people.

The ships from the Japanese country cannot be used, because the place they are going to is the Japanese country, and they will be recognized by others.

Therefore, during this period of time, there was some unrest in the sea outside Dahang City. I always heard that Liaodong’s ship was robbed, but no one had seen the owner. Dahang City also sent navy to search the sea, but in the end nothing was found. .

Seeing that October is about to pass, the turbulent sea waves gradually calmed down. If the sea waves continue to be calm for ten days, the best time to go to sea to Japan this year will come.

Seeing one ship after another going out to sea, and watching one honorable person after another crossing eastward, Xue Changfeng crossed out one name after another in a small notebook.

It wasn't until he was the last to leave the Daxing City harbor with fifty ships that he discovered that there were still some names on the list that had not been crossed out.

Shopkeeper Teng looked at the list and said, "What do you mean? Maybe I went to Baekje. After all, it is closer to the Japanese country than Dahang City."

Xue Changfeng closed the notebook, placed it in front of Shopkeeper Teng and said, "Give this notebook to the Lord. Maybe there are things we can't see clearly, the Lord will know at a glance."

Shopkeeper Teng said: "Is this the purpose of your coming to Daxing City?"

Xue Changfeng sniffed and said, "Now, my main purpose is to go to Japan to earn money for food for my lord and his family."

Shopkeeper Teng said: "When we get to Japan, let's see if these people have gone to Japan."

Xue Changfeng said: "Those who have no ability have all gone to Japan, and those who have ability have disappeared. This world is really interesting."

After Xue Changfeng finished speaking, he stood up and left. Now, his fleet is raising sails. If the wind goes smoothly, in twenty-six days, he will arrive in Musashi, the Japanese country that specially resettles immigrants from Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

He felt that where he was, he should have the opportunity to display his skills, and he would also get at least a year's rations for the gluttonous master's family of five.

Xue Changfeng was gone for three days, and the book was back in the hands of shopkeeper Teng.

There is no land route.

General Wang Xiaojie of the Tang Dynasty was fighting in the Yingzhou area with the Khitan king, the governor of Khanzhou, and the feudal lord Kun Moli of Shunjun. He heard that this time, the Xi tribe in Yingzhou also joined the Khitan people and rebelled.

People in Yingzhou said they rebelled because they were tortured to the point of being unable to survive by General Wang Xiaojie of the Tang Dynasty.

However, according to shopkeeper Teng's knowledge, Wang Xiaojie's previous governor, Guo Daifeng, treated them even more harshly. At least, Wang Xiaojie allowed them to come to Dahang City to do business, while Guo Daifeng only allowed them to come to Dahang City to do business when he was the governor of Yingzhou. The people of Yingzhou traded with the caravan under his name.

Now, people are using this flimsy excuse to rebel.

After hearing the news, shopkeeper Teng finally decided that the book in his hand was important, so he found a boat specially, hoping to take the book across the sea from Dahang City to Dengzhou, and finally, again Put this book into the hands of the owner.

In October, it was already the late autumn in Mount Tai.

After Yunchu finished his morning lessons, he came out of the Main Hall with a scripture in his arms. He took a deep breath of the clear air, and then said to Wen Wen who was also holding a scripture: "Have you finished copying your scriptures?"

Wen Wen shook her head and said: "I need to concentrate and calm down. I finally copied the scriptures once. If I do it half-heartedly, I am really not a son of man."

After speaking, he said to Di Renjie, who had gauze wrapped around the five fingers of his left hand: "The deer I used to write the memorial is still alive. Why don't you take it and continue to collect blood, so that you can finish copying your scriptures as soon as possible?"

Di Renjie shook his scarred left hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I, Aye, am about to pass my birthday, so just think of it as my filial piety as a son."

Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu again and said, "Is the magic weapon in Guangfu Temple big?"

Yun Chu said: "Only 70% of what I expected."

Di Renjie said: "One hundred and sixty thousand yuan, that's enough. The emperor basically has no place to spend money now, and he won't create a big trap for you."

Yun Chu said: "The main reason is that many Buddhist statues are difficult to destroy, and there are also some miscellaneous coppers that are difficult to count. If you want to sort out all the money inside, you won't be able to do it within five years."

Wen Wen asked in surprise: "You think it's not enough?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "We have to prepare for the worst."

Di Renjie said: "What's the worst plan?"

Yun Chu said: "Don't forget, we are not the only ones who know the importance of the capital pool, there are also six large merchants. You also know that behind them are countless nobles."

Gentle said: "Are you worried about their deliberate sabotage?"

Yun Chu frowned and said: "This time, noble nobles, the aristocratic families seem to be too talkative. According to my estimation, they should have had an attack on Mount Tai. As a result, even if someone jumped off the cliff, Wu Mei threw the person over the cliff again. Underneath, they were still forbearing like turtles, nothing happened. I always felt that this was not the nature of people like Ying Gong, Su Gong, and Cheng Yaojin.

You also know that Mr. Ying has a reputation as a poisonous snake in his cave. If you don't move, once he moves, he will definitely deliver a fatal blow."

Gentle said: "Didn't you say before that the emperor was prepared to be injured before dealing with the nobles?

Besides, as long as they still lived in the land of the Tang Dynasty, if the emperor knew that they deliberately made the people miserable, he would definitely use the army to kill them all.

I thought they didn't dare to do this, or that they might be like us, waiting for someone on the emperor's side to make a mistake, so that it would be logical for them to withdraw the funds and drain the capital pool. "

Yun Chu said: "If it is something that happens naturally, there is a bottom line for the degree of damage. That is to say, the most tragic situation is that all the money in the capital pool is gone, and we need to temporarily replenish it with two million.

If it is man-made, the degree of damage is not limited to the Liushui brand. There should be problems with business channels. Even if the emperor quickly replenishes the capital pool, the Liushui brand will become useless because there are no caravans participating in the transaction. Useless.

Although it is said that this is a way to kill ten thousand enemies and damage oneself twelve thousand, but who can confirm that nobles cannot do such self-harm for revenge. "

Di Renjie said: "In this case, we should leave Guangfu Temple immediately and return to Chang'an to deal with it in advance."

Wen Wen looked at Di Renjie and said strangely: "You have forgotten, we resigned just to avoid danger. If we rush forward and return to Chang'an at this time, wouldn't we just become everyone's favorite scapegoat?

Let's wait until everything explodes, everyone who deserves to be unlucky is unlucky, everyone who deserves to die is dead, and everyone who deserves to be punished is punished. At this time, we will go back and help Chang'an from the ruins. In this way, No one questions our brother's status in Chang'an. "

Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu and said, "A man can't..."

Before Di Renjie could finish speaking, Yun Chu said: "When the abscess breaks, you must squeeze out all the pus in the abscess before it can be treated. This time, I prefer a gentle view."

Di Renjie said sadly: "Poor people..."

Yun Chu said angrily: "What are the pitiful people? There are Pingzhun granaries in various cities and towns in Chang'an. The grain stored in them is enough to feed them for a year. They still have to do the work they should do, and they can also do the small businesses they should do. Continuing, this time only the rich will be unlucky.

Even if they lose all their money, at least they still have a mansion, a lovely wife, and a beautiful concubine. At that time, it will just be that the country cannot receive the gift, the border army cannot receive the grain, the merchants cannot make money, and the common people cannot buy it. Just stuff.

To be honest, after this incident broke out, the emperor was the one who suffered the most, followed by the noble families, and the big businessmen. Although the lives of the people would be affected, it was very limited. "

Master Guiji, who followed them out, stood aside and watched the three of them arguing. After a long time, seeing that all three of them were silent, he said the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, your hearts are confused."
