After all the book and paper competitions were over, Langya Pavilion became a place specializing in selling books and paper in Chang'an City.
so!
There is nothing to deal with.
Now, he operates restaurants, tailor shops, carpentry shops, and shops that create various jewelry for women in Chang'an City.
Make money!
There are only three types, men's money, women's money, and children's money.
this era.
There is no need to consider the child's money.
Speaking of business, people in the Han Dynasty actually wanted to buy property, but most of their thinking was limited to enclosure.
in!
For example, Xiao He, a famous figure in the early Han Dynasty, gained power in his hands after the Han Dynasty unified the world, and he also engaged in crazy enclosure behavior.
This is normal.
Land is the foundation of agriculture.
In ancient times, agriculture was emphasized over commerce, so land was valued more.
But no matter how you say it, businessmen have been the most profitable type of people throughout the ages. Even the famous Guan Zhong once engaged in business to make a living.
Now Huo Guang's business is booming.
He doesn't need to watch too much.
The only thing you need to worry about may be the rangers.
These guys, if not controlled well, are time bombs. But if controlled well, it is a double-edged sword.
Will be used.
It's good for yourself.
If you don’t know how to use it?
It will be harmful to yourself.
Huo Guang's method of controlling them was also the most effective and direct. It was nothing more than wine, meat, money and talking about benevolence, justice and morality.
Isn’t this what Rangers do?
so.
After finishing the work in Langya Pavilion, he stopped here to open business for a day, specifically to entertain these rangers.
"Everyone, I have been busy with Langya Pavilion affairs in the past few days. Thank you for your hard work. I have specially hosted a banquet here to reward you all." Huo Guang said to everyone in front of him, cupping his hands.
The rangers who were drinking heavily and eating meat naturally responded together: "Huo Yilang is too polite. With wine and meat to eat, what can we do to hard, hahaha..."
Said these words.
Most of them are rangers who have come from far away.
They had only heard about Guo Xie and had little contact with him.
Especially those who have actually benefited, like Fei Xie and Zhao Ji, are naturally more vocal in their support.
but.
There is still a small group of warriors who are not satisfied with the status quo.
They were originally Guo Xie's disciples.
After drinking some wine, he shouted: "Huo Yilang, let me ask you, you said you wanted to save the hero Guo Jie, why is it that a month has passed and you haven't seen you rescue Guo Jie?"
"Tiantianjin lets us do something out of the ordinary."
"First you promoted the competition, and then you promoted a painting for others. Are you profiting for yourself, or are you really saving Brother Guo?"
"Anyway, I don't see how what you asked us to do has anything to do with saving people."
Huo Guang glanced at this person lightly and already knew that he was Guo Xie's former disciple Xu Kang.
These hangers-on.
This is also what Huo Guang is most worried about.
If it weren't for them, Guo Xie in history would not have been executed. After all, most of the crimes committed by Guo Xie were investigated by officials before the amnesty.
Later, Guo Xie was older and very honest, so nothing happened during the investigation.
After thinking about it, Huo Guang said calmly: "What I want you to do is of course to save people. Besides, it's only been a month, why are you so anxious? A good sword needs ten years of polishing, why, this Can’t you wait for some time?”
However.
Xu Kang, Guo Xie's disciple, said: "Why save people? I don't think you have such thoughts at all."
Finished.
He then looked at several friendly knights who were close friends of Guo Xie, and said, "Let's go rescue Brother Guo ourselves.
Don't count on this kid. "
"good!"
then.
After his words, those people left directly.
Huo Guang's eyes were slightly cold, and he beckoned Fei Xie over and said, "Brother Fei, we must target Xu Kang to death. We must not let such a brainless guy ruin our plan to rescue Guo Daxia. It doesn't matter if he quits Jinyi, I'm afraid This idiot really killed Guo Daxia."
Hearing Huo Guang's words, Fei Xie nodded and said, "I know, Zhao Ji and I will keep an eye on him when the time comes."
"good."
Huo Guang nodded, and then in order to appease the rangers present, he began to arrange for the singers to dance.
After taking care of the emotions of these rangers.
later.
He took his servants to Langya Pavilion again. Since His Majesty has already designated his oil painting as the first place in the competition, it is natural for him to take home the million-dollar prize.
It's just that Huo Guang didn't expect it.
When I went to Langya Pavilion, I bumped into the Sang brothers and sisters.
be honest.
Huo Guang didn't really want to run into these two people.
One regards himself as a confidant, and will nudge him non-stop when meeting him. The other regards himself as an enemy, and scolds him whenever he meets him.
No.
I saw Huo Guang coming.
Sang Meiren frowned and scolded: "Chang'an is so small, I can meet a rogue like you wherever I go!"
have to!
I was scolded as soon as I came...
Huo Guang's temper was not something he could get used to, so he immediately put on a fierce look, frowned and said, "Who are you calling scoundrel?"
"Of course I'm scolding you!" Sang Meiren said with a hum.
After hearing this, the fierce look on Huo Guang's face disappeared, and then he showed an indifferent expression and said: "Oh, it turned out to be a scoundrel scolding me, so it's okay."
It's a very old-fashioned routine, and it was pretty good when used in ancient times to make people angry.
See!
The Sang beauty realized that she had been tricked, and immediately became angry and itched her teeth.
But this is not a big problem yet.
The key is that she also saw her brother Sang Qian snickering from the side?
Immediately!
She couldn't help but push her brother Sang Qian and said, "Sang Qian, you can still laugh and just watch your sister being bullied by outsiders?"
no way.
Even if she plays well at home, she is still her sister outside the home.
Sang Qian had no choice but to say to Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, after all, I am the younger sister and elder brother. It's better not to..."
The words are not finished yet.
Huo Guang interrupted directly: "Brother Sang Qian, I am going to spend money to dedicate a piece of land outside the city to raise animals. As long as you come, you have the final say on what to raise."
Circle a piece of land?
Sang Qian has the final say on what to raise?
Immediately!
Sang Qian's eyes lit up, he looked at Sang Meiren, and immediately chose to kill the family for justice, and said: "Didn't you offend Brother Huo first? I heard it all, it was obviously you who first called her a rogue!"
Said.
He also apologized to Huo Guang: "Sorry, my sister is still young and doesn't know etiquette."
Huo Guang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. Kong Shengdu said that it is difficult to raise a woman and a villain, so I won't care about it."
Sang Meiren was really angry at this feeble-minded Sang Qian.
but!
Later, I heard Huo Guang say something like, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."
For a moment, it was as if he had discovered a new world, and he said mockingly: "Humph, he is indeed an ignorant guy. The master said this to the monarch, and to pay attention to guarding and controlling the women and children around him. people."
Huh?
This unruly Sangmei knows quite a lot.
Huo Guang immediately laughed and said, "Then can't I use this sentence to say something about you?"
"Of course not. You are not a monarch, and I cannot be your concubine. How can you use
On me? "Sang Mei proudly puffed up her slightly raised chest and mocked: "Writing on the paper you created is simply an insult to me. I would rather write on slippers all my life."
Said.
She then put all the books and papers she bought in Sang Qian's arms.
But this time.
He also noticed that Huo Guang's eyes were staring at him. He immediately blushed and cursed: "You prodigal son, what are you staring at me for?"
Huo Guang shrugged and said, "Did you buy the phoenix hairpin on your head at a jewelry store in the west of the city?"
"Oh, there's no harm in it!"
"Just to remind you, that is my shop, and the styles are all designed by me. As far as I know, there are no hairpins of this style in Chang'an City, only mine!"
Sang Mei heard this.
Dang Ji took off the hairpin and said, "Then I'll pay you back and refund my money!"
Money back?
nonexistent!
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "Sorry, once sold, there are no returns."
The Sang beauty immediately threw the hairpin at Sang Qian angrily, and then said: "If you don't refund the money, I will throw it away. The Sang family is not short of this money, so I don't want it anymore."
Finish this sentence.
She found that Huo Guang was still staring at her, and her face turned even redder, and she said angrily: "Don't you know, don't look at anything inappropriate? You're still looking!"
Huo Guang stretched out his hand, pointed at the clothes she was wearing, and said, "Did you buy these clothes at a tailor shop in the north of the city? That was also a dress designed by me. Well, I have to say, the little lady is quite well dressed. good-looking."
aside!
Sang Qian, who had received the benefits promised by Huo Guang, even asked without thinking it was a big deal: "Little sister, in this case, I don't even need clothes!"
"Sang Qian, you..."
"snort!"
immediately.
Sang Mei ran into Langya Pavilion angrily and shouted, "Dad, brother is helping outsiders bully me."
Yo...
It turned out that Sang Hongyang was also there.
Seeing Sang Meiren calling out her father, Huo Guang had no choice but to stop teasing her.
As soon as Sang Hongyang came out, he saw that the outsider his daughter was talking about turned out to be Huo Guang. He immediately frowned and said: "Huo Yilang, don't bully my daughter. You are of average age. After a few years, you can perform crown and hairpin ceremonies." , it’s better not to be so frivolous.”
Forehead...
It was obviously your daughter who thought about it first.
never mind.
Good men do not fight with women!
Huo Guang didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he could only smile lightly and said: "I'm not old enough for Guanli yet. We'll talk about it later!"
"Sang Shizhong."
"I have something to ask you. Why is Chang'an City suddenly under martial law today? Why are the Yulin Army and soldiers and horses everywhere on the road?"
This issue.
It started early this morning.
The situation in his restaurant was particularly serious. A large number of soldiers were stationed outside, resulting in a serious decline in customer flow and no business.
This is also the reason why Huo Guang is closed today and gathers the rangers for a meal.
only!
After some operations.
He obviously felt that the martial law was getting worse.
So I immediately suspected that something might have happened, and that it might have something to do with the restaurant.
This is Huo Guang's initial guess.
When Huo Guang asked, Sang Hongyang shook his head and said, "I don't know. Since I met with His Majesty the night before yesterday, I have not been able to enter the palace. The palace has been under martial law."
"Anyway, I heard about it."
"It seems that Your Majesty had a nightmare, right? Hush, it's better not to inquire about the affairs in the palace."
A nightmare?
It’s just a dream. Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?
unknown.
I thought there had been a palace change!
Huo
Guang shook his head, feeling that the emperor in the palace was making too much fuss.
At this moment.
He looked up at Sang Hongyang and asked: "There is nothing going on in Langya Pavilion today. Sang Shizhong is not at home to rest. Why did he drag his son and daughter here?"
Hear this.
Sang Hongyang sighed and said, "It's really helpless. Huo Yilang, don't laugh. I'm here to avoid the dispute between Cai and Tang!"
"A dispute over vegetable soup?" Huo Guang's eyes were full of doubts.
At first.
He thought these guys were in a hurry. Later I discovered that I had a hollow ear.
Just listen to Sang Hongyang say: "Huo Yilang doesn't care about what happens in the court at all. The dispute between Prime Minister Li Cai and the imperial censor Zhang Tang has been going on for a long time. Now the conflict has intensified, and Prime Minister Li Cai has already We are preparing to take action against Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, but you don’t know anything about this?”
All right!
So that’s what happened.
Huo Guang nodded immediately and said, "I've heard a little bit about it, but I don't pay much attention to it. I'm a small councilman with a salary of six hundred shi, and the fight between the three princes and nine ministers will naturally not affect me. Who cares about him?"
However.
Sang Hongyang said, "Huo Yilang is confused!"
"Huh? Am I confused?" Huo Guang looked confused.
At this time, Sang Hongyang waved to his children and asked them to go elsewhere, and then whispered to Huo Guang: "Yilang's salary is indeed not high, but you have forgotten that you are the brother of a champion, and you are famous. How can you not affect others?" arrive."
"Even a servant like me who doesn't even have a formal official position should stay away."
"after all!"
"I am a close minister of His Majesty, and there is a businessman from the Luoyang Sang family behind him. I am the target of the court battle. But I don't want to be involved, so I can only stay as far away as possible."
After hearing this.
Huo Guang also became slightly nervous and said, "Sang Shizhong said so, so it seems that I should stay away too!"
However.
But Shizhong Sang shook his head and said, "There's no point in hiding, you are already a member of the Tang sect."
Hear this.
Huo Guang thought the other party was teasing him, so he asked, "How do you explain this?"
Sang Hongyang said: "There is no way. Who asked you to go to Zhao State with Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, and solve the matter of Prince Liu Dan together. Now everyone in the court basically regards you as Zhang Tang One side."
I wipe it!
Isn't that His Majesty's order to accompany Zhang Tang to the State of Zhao to handle a case?
Can this also be related to yourself?
Huo Guang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "This can't be counted, can it? Sang Shizhong!"
Sang Hongyang shook his head and said, "If it's just like this, it really doesn't count. But have you forgotten that you have offended Old General Li Guang?"
"Ah, there was a small conflict, what happened?" Huo Guang asked doubtfully.
"What's going on? Then Li Guang and Prime Minister Li are brothers. If you offend General Li Guang, even if you are not, I will be labeled as a member of Zhang Tang's faction." Sang Hongyang said.
Huo Guang was shocked after hearing this.
Li Guang and Prime Minister Li Cai are actually brothers?
All right!
He really doesn't know this yet.
Looking at Sang Hongyang's expression at this time, it feels like he is saying, it is not good for you to offend anyone, but Li Guang!
Can't you run away now?
but.
In fact, Huo Guang is not very worried. He currently lives in the General's Mansion, and his elder brother is the champion Hussar General.
Even if Prime Minister Li Cai overthrew Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, the impact on him would not be great.
immediately.
Huo Guang waved his hand and said, "Then let's do this. The soldiers will come and cover up the water and earth. Since we can't escape, let's make the storm come more violently."
"Master Sang, let's not talk anymore."
"I'm here to move something
, you go about your business! "
Finished.
Huo Guang directed people to move the millions of money back to his small treasury one by one.
When Sang Hongyang learned about this, he immediately chased after him and asked, "Where is Huo Yilang going to move the money? Doesn't this money belong to the winner of the first prize, Qilin Caizi?"
"Ah!" Huo Guang nodded and said, "I forgot to mention, I am Qilin Caizi, and I am the one who painted that painting!"
Is he Qilin Caizi?
After hearing this, Sang Hongyang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately became happy and said, "It turns out that the painting was painted by Huo Yilang!"
"Hahaha, that's very good."
"Since this title winner belongs to you, then the five hundred thousand dollars from my Sang family merchant..."
