Chapter 231(1/2)
At the end of December of the sixth year of Xuanhe, the northern land was covered with silver.
The ancient city of Hangzhou is shrouded in the cold wind and rain. Although there are no snowflakes flying all over the sky, it is also cold. People always say that the winter in the north is colder than the winter in the south. But in fact, if you really come to the south, you will know that the winter in the south is far more unbearable than the north. The winter in Kaifeng City has strong winds, but it just blows by; but the winter in Hangzhou is soft and soft, and the soft wind penetrates into the body along the collar of your clothes, making people feel even more cold.
In the main hall, there was a stove, and the charcoal fire was raging in the stove.
Li Jian took a sip of old wine, picked up a piece of fennel bean and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed it and tasted it.
In the hall, several scholars sat upright, and no one spoke. They looked at Li Jian and waited for Li Jian to ask questions.
These people are indeed Li Jian's aides.
"What are you doing?"
Li Jun suddenly spoke, looking a little confused.
He was about 40 years old and was born with a graceful appearance, showing a sense of elegance like a scholar. He spoke with a Kaifeng accent, but also had a hint of soft Wu's words. His sword eyebrows, broad eyes, and long beards under his jaw.
A long blue gown looks even more gentle and elegant, but there is a hint of sinisterness between her eyebrows.
The aides of course understood what Li Jian said. One of them hurriedly stood up and said, "When he returned to the mansion, the Yudujian seemed to be in poor health. After arriving in Hangzhou, he had never visited the military camp to inspect. He only found a house near the forage yard and stayed in the door. However, his two aides were very frequent and often walked around the city together."
Li Jun frowned and said to himself, "Is your health not good?"
A waxy and sickly face immediately appeared in my mind.
The prince once sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Yu Xiaoyi was a first-class hero, with a strong martial arts skills and a strong body. When he first saw Yu Yin, even Li Jian was shocked. Because the Yu Yin he saw was extremely poor in complexion, he would breathe after saying a few words.
But because of this, Li Jun was much more relieved.
Such a sick guy doesn't seem like a man who can compete for power and profit with him.
But the prince sent this person to Hangzhou. What does it mean? It is said that this guy seems to be in Tokyo and has provoked many enemies.
"He's really not good?"
The staff member hurriedly replied: "Report to the servant. Xiao Di once sent someone to investigate. After finding out that the servant settled down, he invited several famous doctors from Hangzhou to come over. Xiao Di also contacted those people. It is said that the servant's body is indeed very poor."
When Li Jian heard this, he let out a long sigh.
"It's good, so let Yudu Superintendent have a little more rest.
He is from Kaifeng. The first time he came here, he would inevitably be unacceptable to the local conditions, which is not a big deal... Li Si!"
With Li Jian's call, a young man dressed in green walked in from outside.
"Master, what are you asking?"
"Go to the warehouse to come two hundred-year-old ginsengs, and they will be delivered to the Yudu Supervisory Mansion tomorrow morning.
Just say, let him take good care of his body, don’t work too much. As for the affairs of Yingfeng Bureau, he doesn’t have to worry about it. It’s not too late to take over again after his body is well recuperated... Han Kui, you must resolve the matter of Yingfeng Bureau as soon as possible, and don’t leave any mistakes. At the same time, send someone to continue to stare at him, and once you have any actions, you will know me immediately."
After Li Jian finished speaking, he stood up and walked away with his sleeves.
Several staff members smiled and hurriedly bowed to see him off.
It seems that this Hangzhou City is still the world that our family is...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Later generations often say that Hangzhou is prosperous.
There are also poems to prove it, "When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake be done after the green mountains and the green mountains and buildings are gone? The warm wind makes tourists drunk. Just take Hangzhou as Bianzhou. Bianzhou is now Tokyo and Kaifeng Prefecture.
Some people also say: There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.
However, the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou in this poem and song was later found.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Wuyue Kingdom was in the southeast and established the Xi Prefecture in Hangzhou. After the notice of the Three Dynasties and Five Emperors of Wuyue for a total of 85 years, Hangzhou did indeed develop rapidly. Ouyang Xiu once described in "Youmeitang Record": Qiantang has not been bothered with war since the Five Dynasties, and its people are happy and prosperous. More than 100,000 families are surrounded by lakes and mountains, and are reflected on the left and right. The merchants from Fujian Sea have sails and waves, and are in and out of the smoke and mist, which is prosperous...
According to the historical records of Wu and Yue, Hangzhou starts from Qinwang Mountain in the west and goes along Qiantang to the river bank. The shape of the city resembles a waist drum, so it is also called the waist drum city.
In the fourth year of Yuanyou, Su Dongpo became the governor of Hangzhou, dredged the West Lake and built a long dike, making the scenery of West Lake even more moving...
However, the Fang La Uprising suffered great damage to Hangzhou.
At that time, the rebel army once attacked Hangzhou City, causing the city to be destroyed. Although Fang La was dead and the rebellion had been pacified for several years, the traces left by the war in Hangzhou City were still vaguely visible. The scenery was far from the moving description in the poem.
The drizzle was drizzling, and Hangzhou City was shrouded in haze.
Yu Yin was wearing a cotton robe made of thick kapok cloth and stood on the doorstep, venting a series of extremely violent coughs.
A morbid rosy radiant look on her pale face.
He stood on the doorstep for a while, turned around and returned to the room, and a warm wind suddenly blew towards him.
The fire is raging and the flames are running around.
There was also a kettle hanging on the iron stove. The water had boiled and the steam was gushing from the spout.
Gao Shiguang came to Yu Yin with a bowl of black potion, "Young Master, it's time to take medicine."
The rich smell of medicine hit his face, causing Yu Yin to frown, and a bitter smile appeared on his pale face. He shook his head, took the bowl, pinched his nose and poured it down. He opened his mouth and sprayed a bitter smell of medicine from his mouth, as if even his breathing was filled with bitterness.
"How long does this medicine need to be taken?"
Gao Shiguang whispered: "Mr. Zhang has ten days left to take the prescription.
However, Mr. Zhang said that he would have to diagnose and prescribe again in ten days... The young master has lost a lot of energy this time, and he probably will stop the medicine after spring. If the young master is really not good, Xiaodi will go back to Kaifeng. Please come to the miracle doctor?"
"Old Gao Xiu wants to cause trouble. It is best not to disturb Uncle An.
If Uncle An is notified, Yan Nu will definitely know that she will be worried and worried at that time. Mr. Zhang said that, but his vitality is damaged and there is no major problem. If you keep it for a while, you will definitely recover in the next year."
Gao Shiguang opened his mouth and swallowed it back when he reached his mouth.
Yu Yin coughed twice and sat down on the chair. Suddenly, "Lao Gao, how much money does the money you brought from Kaifeng have left?"
Gao Shiguang's face changed. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Reply to the young master, we brought a thousand guan from Kaifeng this time. I thought it would be enough. But I didn't expect that the market price in Hangzhou would be so high. Even if we stayed here, we would have to rent for only one month, and once we paid the one-year rental, we would have to spend 240 guan. In addition, the young master took medicine these days and spent a lot of money, but now there are only more than 500 guan left... In addition, Xiaodi also heard something from someone."
"oh?"
"The Yingfeng Bureau of Hangzhou is useless. The magistrate of the prefecture seems to be very concerned about the affairs of the Fengzhou Bureau... The Yingfeng Bureau has been established for several months. However, the camp has not yet been decided and the soldiers under it have not been recruited. The young master came to take office, but there was no soldier under his command. If the official blamed him at that time, he would be afraid that he would eventually fall on the young master."
It is under the jurisdiction of Yuyin.
Logically speaking, the Yingfeng Bureau in Hangzhou has been reopened for several months. Li Jian has also added the Yingfeng Bureau affairs, which is considered a while. Not to mention anything else, at least the military camp should be established and the soldiers should be recruited. But according to Gao Shiguang, the so-called Yingfeng Bureau military camp is now just an empty shell, and even a shadow cannot be seen.
After hearing this, Yu Yin was not angry.
It seemed that I had guessed this result a long time ago, so I just smiled and waved my hand and said, "Old Gao, don't bother with these things, I have my own plans. It must be difficult for Li Zhizhou to do this. After all, when Zhu Xie took charge of the Suhang Yingfeng Bureau, the consequences caused were very great... Li Zhizhou's arrangement was out of caution, but I could understand it.
By the way, tomorrow you go to the market and find some nourishing products such as old ginseng for me... First, get through this period of time, make my body better for me, and then make a decision."
Gao Shiguang heard Yu Yin say this, so he won’t say more.
I guess the young master has already made a safe plan, and this kind of thing doesn't require him to bother with it.
However, those nourishing things are expensive. There is really not much money left at home, so you really have to calculate carefully.
After Gao Shiguang went down, Yuyin stood up and moved his legs and feet in the hall.
On that day, he was slapped twice by Shanying, and his body was really hurt. Fortunately, Yu Yin had the inner elixir accompanied by An Daoquan. Although this elixir was used for him to practice martial arts, it was also of great benefit to his injuries. From Tokyo to Hangzhou, it was a thousand miles away, and the journey was bumpy. If it weren't for this inner elixir, Yu Yin might not have been able to arrive in Hangzhou.
But even so, it will take a hundred days to recover.
Yu Yin calculated the time in his mind. If he really recovered completely, he might have to wait until the summer comes next year... But if this is the case, wouldn't he waste months of time? Yu Yin really couldn't wait for this long in his heart.
I don’t know if Shisanlang’s 500,000 coins had been sent.
Calculate the time, Gao Chong should embark on the road back, maybe he has arrived in Tokyo now.
Yu Yinzai carefully calculated that 500,000 guan of silver, of which 100,000 guan belonged to Tian Xingjian and others. With the remaining 400,000 guan, Ling Zhen also needs to share some money. This number may not be too small. Besides, Ling Zhen now helps Yu Yin develop new gunpowder, which also requires a lot of financial support. If this calculation is made, 100,000 guan may not be missing, and Yu Yin only has 300,000 guan. The family business of Kaifeng City cannot be lost! Yang Zaixing needs promotion, Niu Gao and Gao Chong also have to join the army, and there is also huge expenses... Also, the Binqiao slaughterhouse needs to be expanded, and it also needs to recruit personnel, and by the way, it is necessary to manage the relationship between the upper and lower levels of Kaifeng Mansion, which is used by Yu Yin in the future.
If these things are calculated one by one, it would not be too much to leave 200,000 guan in Kaifeng.
In this way, the money that Yu Yin could control was only about 100,000 guan...100,000 guan, which sounded amazing.
In Water Margin, Tong Guan’s birthday gift is only 100,000.
But if this money is really used, it may be...
When Yu Yin thought of this, she couldn't help frowning.
"Xiao Yi, look at what we found today?"
Just as Yu Yin was sitting in the hall and pondering, Chen Dong and Zhang Zeduan walked into the lobby with great enthusiasm.
Chen Dong was carrying a turtle in his hand, weighing about five pounds, which was quite a bit disheartening. Zhang Zeduan was carrying a jar of wine in his hand.
"Two brothers. Where did you go again?"
"Haha, today Mr. Zhang from Jinkui Hall invites us to play in Lingyin Temple.
On the way back, I encountered someone selling this item. Mr. Zhang said that this item is very beneficial to the body, so I bought it and repaired it with Xiao Yi. My eldest brother also bought it and bought it from Mr. Zhang. It is said that it is a great tonic and has a very good effect. Hehe. For this jar of wine, my eldest brother exchanged it for Master Su’s calligraphy."
Mr. Zhang is the famous Hangzhou doctor who treated Yu Yin.
The man's name is Zhang Fan, and he was also called horse face because of his strange long horse face.
There is no point in medical skills. Perhaps it is not as good as An Daoquan's ability to revive the dead, but it does have real talents and knowledge.
The relationship between Mamian Zhang and Yuyin is ordinary, but it has a close relationship with Zhang Zeduan.
First, the two of them have the same surname, and they were also one family five hundred years ago; second, Mamong Zhang is a man of painting and still likes to collect the calligraphy of Mr. Dongpo. In Tokyo, the items of the four scholars of Sumen were strictly ordered not to be circulated. However, in Hangzhou, this ban was ineffective. When Su Dongpo was the governor of Hangzhou, he not only dredged the West Lake but also built a long embankment. He also opened Maoshan and Yanqiao Rivers and dredged six wells, making the water source of drinking by the people of Hangzhou sweet and clear...
