"No, why do you want to see him... By the way, where did you meet this guy?"

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but glanced at the trainee Yuhou Dao, who was still interested in seeing this person in person a few years ago, but now? He is no longer worthy of this qualification.

"The governor Mingjian, it was the census team's abandoned building in Mingduquan in the south of the city. It was discovered that an unknown person was in the middle to spy on him, and he sent troops to apprehend him.

This childish trainee Yuhou quickly said:

"Sure enough... this is just a stopgap method..."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sneered: This is quite in line with this style of work.

However, at this moment, he even had a strange idea. How about using this as an excuse to learn the style of a certain Mabao, and let this contemporary Lu Bu, who has been at least seven or eight loyalists in historical time and space, get drunk and drown in a cesspool? Then, Zhou Huaian quickly denied this ridiculous nonsense, and it seriously violated his own personal design and style evaluation.

After all, the future "living Cao Cao" is now under the support of the Taiping Army, and it feels good to mix with a relatively favorable position. Isn't he still a Lu Bu-like figure? In other words, in the world that the Taiping Army has changed and disturbed today, how many are still active stages of such historical figures

"Whether to detain it and negotiate with the other party for follow-up..."

This trainee Yuhou asked for instructions again

"Well, you can't let people come here for nothing, right?"

Zhou Huaian nodded and thought for a while to confess:

"Let the others go back first, and leave that Li Hanzhi. Just say that since you are here, don't rush to leave, just stay with me for a few days to find out more about the situation, and accept the hospitality as a guest. Then let the horse team waiting to swim in the west of the city mobilize to the east, and together with the car camp, monitor the nearby Heyang Army in Lintong."

After skipping this episode, Zhou Huaian signed several batches of documents related to the withdrawal of troops and the aftermath; including the long-term garrison and reclamation of these supporting strongholds in the south of Gyeonggi, including Lantian County, Du Qu, and Xiangji Temple. There is the latest "Taiping Selection System" which is gradually taking shape. "Three Supplements".

At the same time, Wang Poxian, who was one of the few tea shops in West City of Chang'an and who was also one of the trips, also brought his caravan with his full load, patiently waiting for the last group to embark on the return Among the crowd. Just leaving Chang'an soon, Wang Xianduo, his nephew, who is also the leader of the team, is unavoidably reluctant to review frequently:

"It's really a pity that such a capital has gone to the capital. I don't know how long and how long will I be able to return."

"What's a pity, you are nothing but the vanity that can't let go of returning home."

Wang Po first glared at him and said: At the beginning, I put this nephew in Chang'an guard for the last foundation and collect information. His performance for many years is still reliable and effective, but it is a little nostalgic and not open enough, so he still needs his ear tips. Face to wake up one or two:

"Nowadays, things have changed drastically. This capital city is nothing more than a dead place that can't be escaped; but for my generation, the greatest opportunity and future in the world at the moment, isn't it right? Does the posture of the chief governor conquer his field of vision with a lot of effort?"

In fact, as a one-sided and two-sided companion relationship, compared to the Taiping army's personnel who have a strong presence in Beijing, they are active in private, businessmen of all kinds from the south. Even if it is a dilapidated city of Chang'an, the various needs of the remaining population alone are a huge business opportunity, and it is a potential market with few decent competitors.

As their old acquaintances and colleagues in the East and West cities, whether it is a business partner who has been in business in the past or a competitor who has struggled with each other, as long as they stayed, they almost can't escape the disasters and chaos. , The litter of the house is the result of nonsense. It also made Wang Po first, who had had to leave Chang'an for the elderly, in contrast, they were a little proud and cheerful.

Of course, the only feature that they are eligible to appear here with the military is that they have successively purchased in full the government bonds issued successively at the end of each year since the establishment of the Metropolitan Government, or the short- and medium-term military bonds that can be cashed in half a year and a year. For example, Wang Poxian, in order to set an example by example, under the circumstances of poor turnover, he relied on privately borrowing and borrowing to buy five hundred yuan of public bonds issued in the first installment.

Then, this kind of contribution behavior, which is jokingly called swollen face and fat man, had already obtained spectacular returns before the issuance of the second and third public bonds; because in addition to the public bond yields that were advertised as public. In addition, he also obtained the right to replace as a collateral, a full five hundred dan of green salt withdrawal orders priced at the place of origin.

With these hard currencies that can maintain and increase value even in troubled times, the business crisis and turnover that Wang Po first encountered was solved at once. However, Wang Po first did not save this greatly value-added profit, or invested it in expansion. In the midst of making a living, he continued to pledge a sum of money to buy the second installment of the official debt. . . .

What happened later also fully proved his vision. When selecting merchants for military expansion and development, he, who had the largest share of public debt, also received the priority right to be directly selected without mortgage; and even post-war spoils and surplus materials. In handling the auction, there is no need to guarantee the convenience and expediency of equal price priority. . . .

Later, there were almost a bunch of township gangs from Guanzhong, crying and crying to lend him money as a turnover, and more local businesses wanted to partner with him, only to get some public debt quota from him. He was also able to open up the regional barriers and barriers set up by local people, and with the financial resources and accumulation of the Kwan Nei business group, he got involved in many camps in the newly-controlled area of the Taiping Army.

So now he is not only doing well in the tea business from Jiangdong to Southwest, but also occupying a place in the traditional raw silk, lacquer, tung oil and bamboo industries; in the Jianghan-Dongting basin to the Dajiang River Along the waterway, there are businesses and shops opened in more than a dozen famous cities and towns.

This time to revisit the old place of Chang'an, it also allowed him to get a lot of benefits from his hard work. Although the corresponding large-scale transactions of silver and cash and the business of flying cash receipts have always been in the hands of the money united by the Metropolitan Government; but the objects in the city that are eager to realize and discount are still the considerable business opportunities and profits for these foreign merchants. .

As a Chang'an native who has settled down for generations, Wang Po even bought some surplus transportation quotas in advance, and then used this to transport some short-selling daily necessities with the army in the rear; then, the local hired workers with a Jingzhao accent were brought from house to house. Knock on the door from door to door to ask, use these ready-made and urgently needed daily necessities to replace the sundries that are not available for a while.

Therefore, before others can easily piece together a batch of teams and set off, he has already traveled five batches with the military escort teams under his name. However, when he got news about the withdrawal of troops, he realized that the city was no longer available, and he went very simply. He didn't even need the remaining half of the loading space, so he personally urged him to leave.

Another day later, in the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace in Beineri. Huang Chao, who was leaning on the Jinxiu soft couch and sipped this medicinal soup, also accepted the corresponding report with a blank expression:

"Sage of Qi, just two hours ago, the last team of the (Taiping Army) had already walked out of Guangzhou Xiamen. After that, the Erlangs took over and searched the corresponding camp station on the spot to make sure it was empty and there was nothing left. , Even the barriers were removed one after another, and the ditches were also filled."

Speaking of this, the new general of the right guard who replaced Yang Jingbiao who was executed, paused and spoke carefully:

"It's just that the nearly forty squares between Yanpingmen and Yanxingmen in the south of the city are almost empty..."

"It's all gone! Forget it, these are not the same as us, so we will leave..."

However, Huang Chao didn't expect to be scornful or sternly scolded, but waved his hand a little tiredly. However, then another minister hurriedly stepped into the hall and said hurriedly:

"Holy, holy, there is an accident with the Heyang army from Guandong... Yesterday, the leader of the army was arrested before Li Han came to see the midway, and was detained by the Taiping army in the southern suburbs;"

"After the news came back, there was an uproar in the Heyang Army garrison in Lintong City. Immediately after hearing the news, some soldiers broke out of the camp and plundered them. Others quarreled Li Yuan and Guo Zhao with each other. Returned to Tongguan and left. Among them, the defeated soldiers have rushed to the overlord in the suburbs of Chang'an today."

"Holy Lord, this Taiping Army is acting arrogantly and innocently. Even if it leaves, will it leave us with these troubles and tails of hands?"

Jing Zhaoyin Huangrui, who had just been reinstated, yelled a little eagerly:

"Don't act rashly. How long has our ministry taken back the Great Security City?"

Huang Chao thought for a while and said calmly:

"Isn't Liu Jing from Heyang Army still listening under the tent, let him lead the team to clean up the situation..." (End of this chapter)
