Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 35 West City
He was still dizzy just now, but when he heard Du Ruhui's words, Zhang Yi was shocked immediately and asked himself to become an official?forget it!What's so good about being an officer?Every day he worked on paperwork, he slept from midnight to midnight, and the most important thing was that his life was in danger. Now that he has a title and fief, why should he go looking for trouble?

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Kid...my minister...you are still young, although you have an inch of merit, it is mostly due to luck. If you take on a big responsibility, you may bring disaster to the people. In this case, it is better to let the minister go home and study hard. No matter how loyal you are to the country, you won’t lose your life!” Zhang Yi immediately leaned over to explain why he couldn’t be an official.

Wei Zheng nodded involuntarily, walked out of court and said to Li Er with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister reconsidered! Although the son of Jingyang County has made great contributions to the country, he is still young. Besides, the matter of bestowing an official is just like what the son said, a little careless Even if he brings misfortune to the people, His Majesty might as well give him money and silk, which can be regarded as clear rewards and punishments, and I believe His Majesty will not treat him badly when he succeeds in his studies in the future!"

Zhang Yi was so moved, what does it mean to be anxious about what others need, what is urgent about what others need?That's Wei Zheng!
Facing the old man Zhang Yi, who was a famous minister through the ages, he almost asked him to sign his clothes. While thanking Wei Zheng in his heart, Zhang Yi looked at Li Er eagerly again, hoping that the great and benevolent Majesty would listen to him again. The loyal minister's opinion.

Sure enough, Li Er hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "Since Wei Aiqing said so, then I will give the son of Jingyang County a hundred taels of gold, a pair of white jade discs, five hundred silks, and a thousand acres of fertile land!"

When Zhang Yi heard it, he immediately became happy. You must know that the treasury is not full after Li Shimin took over the throne. Not only that, because the White Horse Alliance Datang also needs a huge amount of money every year to buy peace, so don't look at the rewards. There are not many things, in fact, it is already an extremely rich reward at the moment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will study hard and wait for him to serve the Tang Dynasty!"

After leaving the palace gate, the soft sunlight has covered the whole earth, and the feeling of laziness is particularly refreshing.

Old Zhong and the coachman were waiting outside, chatting and laughing, especially now that Lao Zhong had returned to the domineering nostrils of the butler back then, and his eyes had become dog-like, even if it was a soldier of the Imperial Guard walking by. With straight eyes.

"Master, you're coming out!" Seeing that Zhang Yi was out of the palace gate among the hundred officials, Old Zhong rushed up.

With a hmm, Zhang Yi got into the carriage. He was really sleepy at the moment. He didn't sleep well at home last night, and he didn't know what was on the bed. Keeping warm is still made of linen, covering the body with a slight movement, and it will rattle, it will kill the old man.

It's all right now, the eyelids started fighting as soon as they got on the carriage, it's really unbearable!

"Master, do you think we should go to the West Market to buy some servants, maidservants and so on? You see, our family is also a noble family, and the old lady and the second lady must be served by others, and there are also people in the house. Do you want a few people to decorate the front?" Seeing that the young master was going to rest, Lao Zhong immediately expressed his idea of ​​adding servants to the mansion.

In his opinion, his young master will go to Jingyang to settle down sooner or later. Since he has regained his status as a nobleman, this pomp must be there, otherwise it would be a shame!

What's more, he also loses his position if he doesn't have many people in the hands of the great butler of the viscount's mansion!
"You can do as you see, let me sleep for a while, and remember to wake me up when we get to West Market!" Zhang Yi gave his orders without even raising his eyelids, and Lao Zhong leaned against the carriage and began to doze off.

The carriage traveled all the way and soon arrived at the West Market.

Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was divided into east and west cities, and it was the main trading place for goods in Chang'an.

Zhang Yi, who was sleepy and dizzy, was called up by Lao Zhong, and he rubbed his eyes. There was a crowd of people in front of him, just in line with the phrase that Xi Lai Xi was crowding shoulder to shoulder.At this time, the coachman began to shout and curse arrogantly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Jingyang County's car drives out of the way!"

The crowd that was still crowded immediately gave way to a passage in the middle and extended forward.

Zhang Yi couldn't help widening his eyes, and immediately felt like pretending to be a big 13 in his heart. Even high-ranking provincial officials would not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment in future generations!This feeling is simply not to mention!

Old Zhong seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, so when the driver proudly drove the carriage forward, he even showed his old face and looked outside until the carriage turned two turns and came to a stone platform Only then did the driver stop.

The stone platform is very wide, about ten feet in radius. Dozens of skinny men, women and children are kneeling on the stone platform. A guy with a fat face is sternly yelling at the girl hiding inside to wipe her face clean. a little.

"Master, this is the place. That fat man is Hu Hansan, the biggest human trafficker here. This is where our family used to buy people!" Lao Zhong opened the curtains to reveal a small gap, so that he could see the outside situation through the car window. , and then respectfully said to Zhang Yi: "Why don't you come down and have a look?"

"It's up to you to decide. The servant girl can just buy a few to serve the old lady and the second lady, but the young and strong have to buy a few more. It will be more convenient for us to go to Jingyang with two more of our own manpower!"

Since Lao Zhong enjoys the feeling of being superior to others, it is better to let him enjoy it more. For this old man, Zhang Yi thinks that as long as he likes to do anything, it is not too much. It is also appropriate to share some of the glory with him.

Old Zhong smiled and got out of the carriage and shouted at Hu Hansan from a distance: "Hu Hansan, why don't you bring out all the good things from your place? Isn't it shameful to have these reed sticks on the table?"

Hu Hansan was stunned for a moment, and his fierce face immediately stretched out. People who do his business come into contact with either rich people or noble people. Although he still has a bit of face in the West Market, but when he is outside, people treat him incorrectly. People don't even know.

No, when he heard someone calling, he immediately turned his head and looked at Old Zhong.

But when he saw Lao Zhong's familiar face, his expression changed immediately. Lao Zhong used to be his regular customer, but that was only in the past. He had never seen this person at all since the Zhang family fell into ruin. Appearing in front of him and wearing a ragged coat, you don't need to think about it to know that you can't be a fool.

I don't know where I got a job now, in order to make meritorious service to my master, I got my idea here, and I still ordered Hu Hansan one by one, who do you think you are?Or the old butler Zhong?
