When Li Longji's team arrived in Luoyang, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team also arrived a day later.
Gao Lishi deliberately found Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, do you have any future plans to deal with Sudden?"
Listening to his godfather's outspoken question, Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, he comes here to find trouble first, I can't just force him away."
"Talk to the foster father, what to do later." Gao Lishi was really afraid that Zhang Xiaobao said no, that would not be easy to explain to the emperor.
Zhang Xiaobao started shaking his head again this time, "Foster father, it’s not that I don’t say it, but it’s easy to be known if you say it. When Mount Tai comes back, you will know everything. You can’t take it lightly or be abrupt, and dare not say anything else. In five years, it is still possible for Qidan to lose the power of a war."
Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, and seeing his godson not saying anything, with a determined look, he had to persuade him: "Little treasure, get started and get started. If you don't fight, you won't fight. Fighting will cost the people and money."
"The child has taken note of what the foster father said. If you can not fight, you can't fight. Force is just a deterrent. You don't have to meet with swords and soldiers." Zhang Xiaobao agreed. As for the specific fight or not, it depends on the matter. developed.
Gao Lishi, who didn't have much time to accompany Zhang Xiaobao, got an answer and hurriedly left, talking to Li Longji.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stayed on the ground and looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Gao Lishi hurried over to ask about this.
"Xiaobao, I still don't know what your follow-up method is." Wang Juan hadn't heard Zhang Xiaobao say before, thinking that it was just restricting it and it was just a surprise.
"The real aggression is not force, but culture. Just hit the Khitan people's cultural system." Zhang Xiaobao was an answer, and people would know what he wanted to do after the chanting was finished.
Xiaobei, who came back with her elder brother and sister, also met her parents. She began to tell stories to others and expressed her desires. She also told stories about what happened in Jilizhou. Her perspective is naturally different from that of adults. She always picks. She thinks it is interesting.
Let the two families have a little more excitement and laughter.
…
Li Longji didn't stay in Luoyang for too long. After only staying for three days, he took someone to Mount Tai.
This time I brought a lot of them. The army pressed all the way, and the team pulled out dozens of miles, allowing the people along the road to find new topics, and they were discussing whether the emperor could invite the gods to Mount Tai.
This time, Feng Chan was quite expensive. Fortunately, Li Longji did not ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to pay for it. It was not his kind heart, but because he was afraid that Feng Chan would be used by Zhang Xiaobao to make money. Feng Chan is a very important thing. Serious things.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have followed Li Longji after he hit the road again, taking charge of protection, and also reflecting Li Longji's care for them.
The two of them did not think that Li Longji should not spend a lot of money to go to Mount Tai. For the money spent, both of them felt that they should be able to show their national strength to the surrounding countries, just like a military parade, and a lot of money was spent. , The effect can be achieved is also very good.
Wang Juan has been comparing this action with the history in his memory, and found that there are indeed many differences. The first is the place where Li Longji rests and eats, replaced by a temporary walk in the past, or along the way. The government office.
Now, every stay is in the nearby Shuiyunjian restaurant.
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t intend to make the dishes arduously and plainly according to Wang Juan’s history. On the road, the money needed for the team’s eating and drinking is not a small amount. There is no need to save on Li Longji’s meals. One point is one point.
The team finally arrived at the foot of Mount Tai at the end of October. Calculated on this date, waiting for Li Longji to go up the mountain was a few days earlier than in history.
"It is estimated that it will not rain." Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao, looking at the sky.
"It's raining?" Zhang Xiaobao didn't understand the deeper meaning from Wang Juan's words.
"It was when Li Longji was enforcing Zen to ascend Mount Tai, and the ceremony was about to be held. As a result, it rained the first night, which was very worrying. The result was amazing. The next day it was sunny again. Depending on the weather, it won't catch up with the rain. "
Wang Juan explained.
"Oh, it turned out to be like this. Don't think about history. There is no record of the two of us in history. There is no water and cloud between us. If not, Li Longji may be assassinated. Be careful. He can't hang up now."
Zhang Xiaobao no longer thinks about things in history, mainly because of his bad history.
After hearing what Zhang Xiaobao said, Wang Juan was really nervous, and said, "Speak down, in case someone hears it, it's time to doubt the idea of the two of us. This time Zhang said he still arranged all of his people. In Feng Chan's team, it was nothing more than a few extra people.
I just wondered if he would be affected by someone acting this time. If there were no acting person, would Li Longji have an idea in his heart? If there weren’t those things, Zhang might still have it. May not step down. "
"Thinking about so much, some things are a fuse, as long as Zhang is really so selfish this time, then it is absolutely impossible to run away. The one that should come will come, even if it is missed once or twice, according to the time. Forget it, he should step down too. Is it true that others are really willing to let him stay in the position of prime minister? The prime minister and the chairman have to change boundaries, let alone the prime minister."
Zhang Xiaobao knew what Wang Juan was talking about. It was nothing more than following the original development. Zhang said that he was pushed to the edge of the cliff step by step, and was finally locked up. After all, it is different from history, and there may be changes.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't take it to heart at all. He lives to reflect his self-worth in life. There are more family affection around him, and other people's affairs have little effect on him.
The team had to walk all the way to a harder time. They had to guard against unruly intentions and no carts or horses to use. Zhang said that he was still stingy and didn't give the soldiers too much benefit, and he didn't even take care of food and drink.
On the contrary, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan acted very generously. They brought a lot of small dishes from elsewhere for the soldiers to eat, in the name of Li Longji.
The soldiers understood that this was not the emperor's arrangement, and they were very grateful to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Zhang Xiaobao's goal has been achieved. The side dishes given are all the signature dishes of Shuiyunjian or Haiyunjian. They usually sell well. This time I believe that after Feng Chan returns, they will be sold after the soldiers' propaganda. will be better.
Old Man Bi, Old Man Yao, the main men of the Zhang Wang family, plus Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, belong to the extra quota. As for Xiaobei, they have to stay down the mountain, not because they can’t get the quota, but they are still young and climb. Without moving the mountain, the team can never stop and wait for them.
I can only regret to lose an opportunity to witness history.
"It's a pity." Wang Juan felt that he should find a way to call all his younger brothers and sisters. It is not uncommon for him to be treated as a five-rank official in the last mountain investigation, mainly because Feng Chan is not so easy to encounter.
Zhang Xiaobao seemed indifferent, "It's okay, wait for us to help Li Longji get the right direction, let him seal it several times in the future."
"You are playing as a Fengchan. You can do it once if you want." Wang Juan said dissatisfiedly.
"Almost, you can let Li Longji go to Huangshan in the future, and bring Beckham with them at that time." Zhang Xiaobao never felt that there was anything serious about this matter that could not be repeated.
A group of people began to climb the mountain and play hard, afraid that when it was one-third of the Fengchan place, the team stopped to rest again, mainly because Li Longji wanted to see the scenery, he was not tired.
Seeing the team stopped, Wang Juan's mind moved again, quietly letting people go down the mountain to pick up Xiaobei and other little guys, anyway, they were not walking fast, the big deal was that people carried them on their backs, and they would never fall under such precautions. Go down the mountain.
Zhang said that he was very upset when he heard the news. He hesitated for a while but did not refuse. He was now afraid that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would find him in trouble.
Waiting for the team to set off again, Xiaobei and others have already followed, but unfortunately they couldn't see his brother and sister.
For them, the importance of Feng Chan is not as important as just looking at the scenery on Mount Tai. If you can be more relaxed and play hide-and-seek, it would be better. Of course, even if they come up, they cannot be sealed off after returning. Five-rank officials, it would be nice if no one troubled them.
Until Li Longji took advantage of the good weather to hold the ceremony, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not see any assassins. They had been checked by the guards over and over again when they wanted to come, and no one was able to hide.
…
This time Taishan Fengchan did not bring the woman in the palace, mainly because of Wu Zetian's relationship, but she has gained a lot of benefits through the previous Fengchan, and prevention must be prevented.
Concubine Wu Hui was also stayed in the capital because of this, and she regretted that she could not participate in Feng Chan, and she suddenly thought of the queen.
The Queen is pregnant, and the pressure on Concubine Wu Hui is very high. She is afraid that the Queen will give birth to a child, and her position will be unstable. The dream of being a queen has always existed in her heart.
Feeling that there were no important people in the capital, she thought that she could think of something, so she arranged for people to go to Huayuan County to check it out, and she looked for opportunities to prevent Queen Wang from having children.
As a result, when Li Longji was about to reach Mount Tai, she did not realize her wish. The people sent there didn't even know where the Queen and Queen were, let alone poisoned them or resorted to violent methods.
Knowing that Concubine Wu Hui could not do anything to the Queen and Queen, she began to put her idea on the business of Wang Zhang's family again. She actually wanted to fight the idea of the bank, but she couldn't find a place to start. She was not familiar with the operation behind the bank.
Thinking that the people of Zhang Wang's family had no time to do so, she began to use her identity to arrange people to find ways to cause some losses in the business of Zhang Wang's family.
The easiest way is to cultivate competitors and shock Zhang Wang's business. Shuiyunjian restaurants and supermarkets are the places that are directly concerned.
Maybe it was Concubine Wu Hui's reputation that played a role, or it might be that she was lucky. Just when she found someone to contact other businessmen who didn't have a cooperative relationship with Zhang Wang's family, she was able to find someone.
Coincidentally, the people she sent out met a group of businessmen from Jiangnan Dongdao in the East Market in the middle of the capital.
The people sent by Concubine Wu Hui were told that people from Jiangnan Dongdao started wandering around the capital a few years ago, choosing a business from time to time and then putting out money to do it.
In the past two years, I have made more money and more businessmen have come. It is very easy to find them, although a group of businessmen will come to Beijing every few months.
Concubine Wu Hui's people contacted the merchants of Jiangnan Dongdao under such circumstances, and did not say the name of Concubine Wu Hui directly. They just said that there were great people in the court to take care of them and let the people from Jiangnan Dongdao cooperate in the business.
The person sent by Concubine Wu Hui was also named Wu, a member of her brother's family, named Wu Feng. Upon hearing this name, people wondered if there were Wu Yu, Wu Lei or something else.
The merchants in Jiangnan Dongdao are relatively united. The leader is the one who has done the most in the business, named Jiang Lan. When he was in the market, he was admired by Wufeng. He leaned in and said, "Several people want to find them in the capital. A good deal to do?"
Jiang Lan and the others were startled by the people who suddenly didn’t know where they came from. Hearing the other party’s question, they seemed very alert. Jiang Lan responded: “Turn around, just around, it’s said that the zoo on this side of the city is pretty good. , And Changning's sink and float lake, I want to see it."
If you were insincere, Wu Feng would know as soon as he heard it, he pulled his clothes on the outside slightly to reveal the gorgeous clothes inside, and after letting the merchants look at them, he said with a little helplessness: "Hey... if you just look at it, then forget it. , I also want to find someone to do a big deal in partnership."
Jiang Lan and the others were still so vigilant, they didn't ask the other party what to do with any curiosity at all, which meant that they were afraid that the other party was a liar, and Jiang Lan was still speaking.
"I'm waiting for my family to have insufficient money to make a big deal, so I just have a look, um, look, this son has invited it."
After speaking, the merchant from Jiangnan Dongdao hurriedly left, and found a restaurant in the East Market to eat in. It was not the restaurant opened by Zhang and Wang’s family, nor did he ask for a private room in this restaurant. It seems that I really want to listen to others.
When the food was brought up by the guy and was eating, Wu Feng, who had left earlier, also happened to come to this restaurant. Seeing Jiang Lan and the crowd showed a very surprised look, they smiled and said hello.
"Unexpectedly, I met you here again. I really have destiny."
After speaking, he didn't get together to eat and drink with others, but chose a nearby table to sit down, smiled at Jiang Lan, and asked his partner to order food.
After drinking wine, everyone's moods also relaxed. Wu Feng finally found an opportunity. With Jiujin, he said to Jiang Lan: "You guys want to go to the zoo?"
"Exactly, is there anything else to say?" Jiang Lan asked in surprise.
"That's not true. It's just that if you want to watch good animals, it's just not enough to spend the entrance fee. I heard that a few big worms and deer with long horns were transported from the north the day before yesterday. They have not yet been opened to the public. If you want to see it, I can help."
Wufeng began to take this opportunity to show his identity, hoping to make the other person take a high look.
Jiang Lan and the others obviously showed a look of disbelief. They gently put down their chopsticks, Jiang Lan said to Wu Feng: "It's still not troublesome for the son, I will check it later, maybe the big bug and deer are already open. It’s okay."
The meaning is very clear, that is, we can see without you. Of course, the premise is that there are really big bugs and deer.
Now Wu Feng couldn't say anything, so he could only eat vegetables and drink with his head sullenly.
After Jiang Lan and the others had almost eaten them, they left without the money, but Wu Feng, who still didn't want to give up, followed them out.
The zoo is not in the city. One is that there are not so many places, and the other is that it smells bad in summer. No matter how you clean it, it is impossible for animals to bathe and brush their teeth all day long.
Jiang Lan and his party hired a car and headed outside.
By the time the zoo arrived, more than half an hour had passed. This is because the East City is close to the east gate. The animals in the zoo are free for people to watch. You can see several kinds of animals for a few cents. , And there is only one kind that can only be watched for more than a dozen cents.
Many wealthy people from other places didn't want to lose their knowledge because of this little money, and they took out the money to see the end from beginning to end, as did Jiang Lan and others.
There are a lot of animals in the zoo now. Look at them one by one, and sell things specially for animals, and throw them to feed them. The half fan of pigs is carried and thrown into the crocodile pond, watching the crocodile biting the meat. Rolling back and forth in the water really gave people a shocking feeling.
The person in charge of the narration began to explain to them why the crocodile had to roll back and forth while eating. They said that the food was too big to be bitten, and the meat could only be torn apart and eaten by rolling the body. He also talked about the crocodile. Habits.
People who didn't spend money on meat were also watching and listening, feeling that they had gained a lot of knowledge.
As a result, he turned around, but found no new big bugs or deer with big horns.
After pulling a person from a zoo, Jiang Lan asked, "I heard that the big insects and deer transported from the north came the day before yesterday. I don't know where they are?"
Hearing Jiang Lan’s question, the people at the zoo seemed very embarrassed. After Jiang Lan gave him dozens of coins, he gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, there are new animals, but they are not something everyone can see. You have to wait for distinguished people to see it before others can see it. You might as well go and see the giant panda, you can see it now."
With that said, he was going to lead Jiang Lan and his party to see the giant pandas. According to the normal time, the giant pandas still need ten and a half days before they can be opened to ordinary people.
Jiang Lan looked dissatisfied, and asked the other person, "What kind of person is considered a distinguished person? But it costs more?"
"No, money is usually easy to use elsewhere, but it won't work here. This, at least a little power, such as an official body above the fifth rank."
The people at the zoo gave an example, that means you can’t do it if you have money.
At this moment, I felt that the martial arts that had found the opportunity was drifting over like a ghost, and said to Jiang Lan: "If you want to see it, you can just keep watching and talk to your principal, just say that the martial arts are coming. Up."
"It turned out to be Master Wu. Since Master Wu said he wants to see it, he doesn't need to go to the principal, please come with me." Hearing the second half of Wu Feng's sentence, he said to himself, the people at the zoo immediately smiled and led the group of people. Walk to another place.
Jiang Lan and the others all looked at Wu Feng in surprise. Jiang Lan looked at Wu Feng carefully and said, "I didn't expect Master Wu to be a lie. He was abrupt. Please forgive me."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but if you suddenly meet someone underneath, you will think...like you all." Wu Feng didn't know what the other party was called.
"In Xia Jianglan, I'm going to trouble Young Master Wu." Jiang Lan quickly introduced herself.
Once the group talked, they talked as they walked. They saw the Siberian tiger and the red deer. Gradually, they stopped focusing on watching the animals. The more they talked, the more speculation.
After meeting for several days, Wu Feng finally started to talk to Jiang Lan and others about the business according to the arrangement of Concubine Wu Hui.
Outsiders don’t know how they talked. When Li Longji came down from Mount Tai, people from Jiangnan Dongdao began to withdraw money from banks in the capital and invest here and around. The first thing to do was to find Shuiyunjian. The location of the restaurant, buy a place near or on the opposite side.
It hasn't opened yet, and they are all undergoing renovations, and they are looking for cooks from elsewhere. Even the cooks in Shuiyunjian are also trying to attract them.
Concubine Wu Hui, who received the news, seemed very happy and felt that she could take revenge on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the Queen and Queen who was in her heart also selectively temporarily forgot.
…
At the foot of Mount Tai, Li Longji was equally happy. This time he finally completed the Feng Chan. It was an inspiration to Datang, and it was also a deterrent to the surrounding countries that sent people over to observe the ceremony. The grand scene made all the people sent by the surrounding countries see. What is the demeanor of a great power once
Then I started to rest, listen to tunes, and watch other people's performances. Zhang said that the relative who was discovered by Li Longji in history was also seen by Li Longji this time, young and old.
It's just that Li Longji was not so surprised this time, nor did he deliberately ask, there is Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan comparing there, and it makes sense to be younger.
In this way, Wang Juan was not sure whether Zhang said would be missed by Li Longji.
After a lively event, the team began to return. This time it took another route. It was not because the road was good, but because it still had to go back the same way. The local financial pressure would be very heavy. The emperor came up once, but it didn't cost less.
When they were on their way home, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally got the news from the capital.
"Xiaobao, it looks like someone is going to do something with us." Wang Juan didn't worry at all when he heard the news.
"I think so, after looking forward to such a long time, it's finally here." Zhang Xiaobao replied confidently.
