Chapter 132 Disputes between trading point suppliers (4)
On the way home, Zhang Shijie listened to Zheng Jie scolding Sun Qing for a while. After venting his anger, Zheng Jie leaned on the seats with all the bamboo mats, then pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Shijie.
The metal lighter flint was punched for a lot of time before hitting it, and Zhang Shijie didn't think there was any problem because of this. This thing was already very convenient. The two of them gathered in bright yellow flames and lit the cigarette. Zheng Jie shook the fire extinguisher, and the darkness in the carriage returned to the carriage.
Originally, the Song Dynasty used cigars made of tobacco leaves. This thing was too powerful, and many people liked it but were not used to it. Later, there were small cigars, which tasted much lighter, but were still very exciting. Now, this kind of tobacco roll wrapped in tobacco was overcome by the overly strong problem. Zhang Shijie, who was in his forties, felt that he liked it very much.
"I think Sun Qing will still listen to the officials." Zheng Jie opened the window of the carriage and said at the same time.
"Yes." Zhang Shijie responded. He agreed with Zheng Jie's view, but thought Zheng Jie's last approach was very interesting. Zheng Jie had been serving Zhao Jiaren alone, while Zhang Shijie had experienced Song Lizong and Song Duzong, two small officials, and now he is a subordinate of Zhao's family.
In the eyes of Zhang Shijie, the "old minister of the Five Dynasties", the Zhao Guan family's power is really shocking. Song Lizong was already a relatively powerful official back then, and Zhang Shijie still had sufficient autonomy at that time. In the current era of Zhao Guan family, he was not only the nominal supreme commander of the Song army, but also the actual master. It only takes a look to make Zheng Jie obey.
If Zheng Jie did not obey the order, Zhang Shijie had some doubts about whether Zheng Jie would be dismissed.
Zheng Jie continued to preach according to his own ideas: "General Zhang, the official family values you very much, so that you will be able to command the Red Turban Army."
After hearing this, Zhang Shijie asked unhappily: "Why did you have to investigate and ask if I am Zhang Hongfan's brother?"
Zheng Jie took a cigarette and said cheerfully: "The Zhao Guan Family wants us to learn history. Those who led the troops did not write slander letters behind their backs. There are many people who sued the criminal complaints. After the Zhao Guan Family implemented this system, we all felt at ease. Now the Ministry of War supports everyone, and after the Ministry of War investigates, we can shelter everyone from the wind and rain."
"Hmph!" Zhang Shijie didn't appreciate it.
Zheng Jie knew that Zhang Shijie was unhappy, so he sighed: "I'll tell you, do you think asking you a relative is a big deal? We all have to send people to our hometown to investigate the third generation. It's not that easy to be a soldier now."
"Look at the third generation?" This was the first time Zhang Shijie heard this. This word easily reminded some bad things.
"Why is the Ministry of War confident in everyone? It depends on such strong evidence. If there is no such thing, the Ministry of War itself is guilty. So don't think so much and fight a good war." As he spoke, the car arrived at the gate of the community where Zhang Shijie lived. After Zhang Shijie got off the car, he watched Zheng Jie's carriage leave, and he sighed in his heart.
He really wanted to fight a good war. Is there anything more joyful than defeating his former enemy? Defeating his enemy and destroying his enemy to rely on the court is more satisfying. Moreover, this time he met the official family with Zheng Jie. After listening to this story, Zhang Shijie was sure that he was really attracted by the official family.
After leaving the front line for so many years, Zhang Shijie was shocked by the development of hot weapons when he returned to the Song army and felt that he could not keep up with the trend at all. However, when it comes to fighting cold weapons, Zhang Shijie was still very confident. He gained the reputation of a brave general by relying on his military achievements in cold weapons.
Various battles in his life were quickly replaying in his heart, and Zhang Shijie regained some of the feelings he had back then. However, General Zhang's reflection ended here. The mosquitoes outside forced him to go home quickly. When he got home, he saw that the lights were still on in the living room on the second floor. Before entering the house, he fanned the mosquitoes with a palm-leaf fan hanging outside the door, and then opened the door and quickly entered the house. This is a good way to prevent mosquitoes.
On the stairs leading to the second floor, you can smell the smell of perfume in the air. Walking up to the second floor, you will see Yang Shufei and Yang Sanniang sitting on the sofa.
"I'm back." Concubine Yang Shu asked.
"Yes." Zhang Shijie responded.
"Uncle, I'm leaving now." Yang Sanniang stood up and said goodbye. It seemed that the little girl realized that it seemed inappropriate to stay in someone else's house so late.
"You either send her off." Concubine Yang made a very reasonable suggestion.
Zhang Shijie thought it made sense, but he thought that it was too nonsense for the Yang family to do this. At this time, the Yang family should have sent someone to pick him up, so how could the little girl not go home in the middle of the night? Maybe it was because the Yang family thought that Concubine Yang had lost their family.
"Okay." Zhang Shijie replied. He still feels regretful now, and he should actually find some people to serve him. However, when Zhang Shijie was the commander of the imperial guards, there were no servants. After living in this house, the families around him gradually stopped using servants. He also felt that it was very comfortable to live in. After getting married, Concubine Yang did not like to see others. The most important thing is that hiring servants is not cheap. This is a very expensive expense. In this community, if there are no servants and children, you can live a very good life. Children are a good labor force.
It took more than ten minutes to send Yang Sanniang to her community. Zhang Shijie found that this community was only two miles away from where he lived. He was even more upset. Is it necessary for the Yang family to do this? Yang Shufei offended Zhao Guan family, but she had paid the price of being deprived of all her honor. She was no longer the queen mother, but she was not from the Yang family!
After returning home with such dissatisfaction, Concubine Yang had already fallen asleep. Her son went to a boarding school and would not go home every weekend. The small official family was very interested in going to school, but now there are only two people left at home. This is also the reason why they are too lazy to find servants. It is not good if there is only two people, and it would be better if one more person comes out.
But Zhang Shijie thought that if the Zhao Guan family really wanted to reuse him this time, Concubine Yang would probably continue to stay in Hangzhou. There would be people in the family at that time. Not only did they hire servants, but they also needed to hire women to serve.
"What did Zhao Jiaren ask you to do?" Yang Shufei, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly asked quietly.
"I..." Zhang Shijie didn't know how to answer.
"Does Concubine Yang ask you to fight?"
