For the Southern Zhou Dynasty, from its birth to the present, they have only done one thing.
--balance!
When the Northern Liao Dynasty was in power, the Southern Zhou Dynasty even supported the Tang Dynasty with a lot of money and food. After the Tang Dynasty dominated the Central Plains, the Southern Zhou Dynasty changed its attitude again and stepped on the seesaw.
The Tang Dynasty was preparing to send troops to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The Southern Zhou Dynasty immediately raised its money bag and called to the Northern Liao affectionately: Promise, do you want to make an appointment?
The Northern Liao Dynasty immediately stationed troops on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty turned the crisis into safety.
In this way, the Southern Zhou Dynasty was able to have both sides of the conflict between the two major forces and lived a very prosperous life.
But since the founding of the country, the Southern Zhou Dynasty has never made any foreign marriages.
In other words, the princesses of the Southern Zhou Dynasty never married outside.
Today, the imperial concubine suddenly opened her mouth to test, and Yang Xuan knew that this must be the emperor's intention.
Why did the emperor test Southern Zhou?
After the marriage between the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Liao Dynasty was immediately isolated. The tigers of the Tang Dynasty and the money and food of the Southern Zhou Dynasty meant that the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty had to turn a blind eye while sleeping at night.
Nian Ziyue's best excuse for declining was that her parents made the final decision on the marriage. This not only avoided the problem, but also gave the imperial concubine a chance to step down.
The girl's pleasant voice echoed in everyone's ears.
She chose to praise Yang Xuan for his competence.
This is a more clever answer.
The imperial concubine glanced at Yang Xuan, her smile remained unchanged, but Yang Xuan felt that there was a little amusement in the imperial concubine's eyes.
Don't trick me!
"That's a good thing." The imperial concubine directly brushed off the topic.
Then a group of people sat down in the pavilion and started talking about the customs of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Yang Xuan ordered his men to monitor the situation in the verandah, and he walked around with the hilt of his knife on patrol.
He walked around the verandah. There were some flowers and trees behind it, which was also an easy place to hide people.
Yang Xuan made an inspection and found nothing unusual.
"Yang Xuan!"
The footsteps were a little hasty and sneaky.
Yang Xuan stopped and turned around.
"Little lady."
Wang Xianer ran over and patted her chest, "I almost went astray. By the way, why didn't you tell me when you became a county captain?"
Yang Xuan bet that if he really told him, the two brothers Wang Douxiang could crush him to ashes.
——The charming daughter of the Wang family has secretly communicated with people, and word has spread that the Wang family no longer needs to be a human being.
But Wang Xianer was naive, so Yang Xuan could only say tactfully: "It is not convenient for a man to be a guest of the Wang family."
"Little lady!"
Someone was calling softly, and Wang Xianer said hurriedly: "Next time, remember to tell me my name..."
"yes."
This young girl was raised by the Wang brothers and was cute, naive and naive, and Yang Xuan smiled and agreed.
When he turned to the front, the table had already started.
After finishing the meal and drinking a cup of tea, the imperial concubine was ready to go back.
Yang Xuan and others accompanied him.
Before getting on the carriage, Jiao Li came over and asked: "I asked you, why did you dare to touch those patients who might be infected with the epidemic when you were in the mine?"
Didn't Han Shitou ask this question before?
Yang Xuan's answer was the standard version of loyalty.
But the imperial concubine asked again.
Or loyal?
But now he has the label of a noble concubine.
And if the imperial concubine wants a loyal answer, why bother asking Jiao Li to make a trip...
Yang Xuan made a decision in an instant, and said calmly: "At that time...at that time, I only thought about...being able to get ahead, and forgot about the danger."
Jiao Li remained indifferent and went back immediately.
"My dear, he said he wanted to get ahead and forgot about the danger."
The imperial concubine in the car was leaning lazily, holding a lazy cat in her hand. She heard this and said, "She is quite honest."
Yang Xuan escorted him all the way outside the palace city.
After returning to the county, Yang Xuan ordered Cao Ying to inquire about the news.
"What does your concubine mean? It's inexplicable." Yang Xuan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Cao Ying brought the news in front of the Yamen.
"Southern Zhou merchants came to Chang'an and opened their shops. Liang Jing's low-lying land has been filled in and is under construction. Southern Zhou merchants flocked to it. Lang Jun, Liang Jing... made a fortune."
Yang Xuan understood, "The noble concubine knows the news that my brother is getting rich. Are you worried that I have bad intentions? Tsk! The thoughts of these noble people are fucked!"
The old thief felt a little regretful, "What if I could do it myself?"
Yang Xuan stood up, "Do you think we can hold on to such a huge fortune with our current status?"
The old thief was horrified and said, "Yes, there are many powerful families in Chang'an City. If we hold such a piece of land, jealous people can tear us apart."
Yang Xuan has already left the duty room, "Go home!"
"Lang Jun, it's not time yet." Cao Ying chased after him.
"I'm going to patrol the streets."
Not long after Yang Xuan returned home, Liang Jing came.
"Fifty thousand dollars." Liang Jing opened his mouth and could not refuse, "If you don't accept it, this brother won't be able to do it."
Fifty thousand dollars were piled solidly in the front yard. Liang Jing sat on the steps with his big horse and golden sword, "Bring me some good wine and good food. Today we brothers are planning to get drunk."
Two jars of wine and water, one for each person.
"It's done." Liang Jing raised the bowl boldly and drank it all in one gulp.
Yang Xuan took a sip, was stunned for a moment, and then did it.
After drinking a jar of wine, Liang Jing was already numb.
He hugged Yang Xuan and cried, saying how he was looked down upon by people in his hometown, and how those people flattered him later when his sister became a noble person.
"And... there is an official... damn! Send his own woman over here, bah!"
Liang Jing took a sip of disdain.
Yang Xuan said: "Brother Liang will definitely confiscate it."
"Confiscated." Liang Jing raised his eyebrows obscenely.
Confiscate, confiscate, two identical words, once the pronunciation changes, the meanings are completely different.
After Liang Jing left, Yang Xuan raised the wine jar and asked, "Who added the water?"
The old thief came over slowly, "I know that your husband values friendship, but Yi Niang was worried that your husband would be harmed by drinking too much, so she asked me to find a way to drill a hole..."
"It's well mixed."
Although the wine was mixed with water, Yang Xuan still felt a little drunk.
Have a good night's sleep and be a good man again the next day.
"Still sleeping, get up quickly. The old thief is going to fetch water, Cao Ying is going to sweep the floor, Wang Laoer, Wang Laoer..."
"Why!"
"Get out of the toilet quickly and go chop wood to make a fire."
There was a lot of excitement at home early in the morning.
A group of people were driven around by Yi Niang, but only Yang Xuan, the lord, was free.
When breakfast was placed on the table, everyone took a deep breath.
Then, everyone including Wang Laoer looked at Yang Xuan.
This is what Yiniang taught her. Yang Xuan won't eat even if he doesn't move his chopsticks.
Yang Xuan picked up his chopsticks and brought out a piece of mutton, which everyone ate at once.
"Let's go, Yi Niang."
It's time for Yang Xuan to go to the Yamen.
"Come back early."
Yi Niang sent them outside the gate. Mr. Xie on the opposite side immediately lowered his head and said, "Young Master Yang is out."
"Yeah!" Yang Xuan nodded.
Someone at home is thinking about you early in the morning, the neighbor across the street is exercising, people in the alley are jumping around, birds are standing on the trees watching the excitement, and occasionally chirping...
A very beautiful morning.
At the same time, He Huan had just finished breakfast and was taking a slow walk in the yard.
"The doctor said that Xiao Langjun's foot has recovered well, but it is better to be careful now and not run." The servant next to him looked pleased.
He Huan stamped his feet and felt no pain, knowing that the wound was almost healed.
"You said Yang Xuan opened a ramen restaurant?"
"yes."
"How's business?"
"Hot."
He Huan narrowed his eyes, "This time the Wang family is in danger, is he the one who went there?"
The voice was very calm, but the servant lowered his head, as if he heard thunder, "Yes."
He Huan turned around and said, "It is disrespectful to come and not return."
The staff rushed over and after listening to He Huan's instructions, he hesitated and said, "Little Prince, if you lower the price to suppress Yang Xuan's business, you are hurting people. Of course, the He family is not short of the money, but other aristocratic families are
What's the meaning……"
There was a hint of disdain on He Huan's handsome face, "This time the Wang family's plan failed, they were secretly angry. Chun Yu's ancestral tomb was stolen, and it was rumored that Chun Yushan killed several concubines... But anger can go away
Where? Looking around, Yang Xuan is the little shrimp... If you deal with him, you can not only get rid of the anger, but also knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. It's him."
The staff hurried to Guangfufang, first stood outside the gate of Yuanzhou Ramen, looked up at the sign, shook his head and sighed, "The good days will not last long."
Immediately, Lin Fan and others received the invitation.
"He's."
Two words left Lin Fan unable to resist.
In his restaurant, the staff was sitting at the top, looking at him dimly.
"Yuanzhou Ramen is opened here, so you are quite helpless, right?"
Everyone laughed.
Businessmen are profit-rich, businessmen are cunning...
There was more contempt in the staff's eyes, but then it disappeared, "What can I do?"
"Arson!" A businessman raised his hand.
"Stupid." The staff scolded, and the man put down his hand in a sullen voice.
Lin Fan sighed, "Yuanzhou Ramen is not cheap, so the price can only be reduced."
The staff member nodded. He had no intention of messing around with these businessmen who smelled like copper. He stood up and said, "He will pay half, and you can pay the rest yourself, lower the price, and overwhelm him."
Before noon, more than a dozen businesses around Wonju Ramen all hung up their signboards.
“Big sale!”
Han Ying was not moved when she heard the news, "It doesn't matter."
Wang Shun went to inquire about the information and came back with a pale face, "Madam, it's almost half the price."
Han Ying's body was shaken, "Half price...they can't afford the loss, right?"
But half price is really implemented like this.
During lunch, the business on the left and right rows of Yuanzhou Ramen shops was so busy that even the clerks came to take advantage of it.
Han Ying looked at the much empty store and gritted her teeth and said, "This is hurting people at the expense of others."
…
Yang Xuan is very busy at the moment.
There are dead people in his jurisdiction.
The one who died was still an official.
"Qin Jian, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stayed in a brothel last night. When the prostitute woke up in the morning, she found that she was already hard."
In the brothel room, a naked middle-aged man was lying on the bed, and a female prostitute squatted beside her and choked, "Not a slave, not a slave..."
"Uzuo." Yang Xuan shook his head.
Wu Zuo came up to inspect him, and even pried open Supervisor Qin's mouth and used a small object to scrape his throat.
Immediately there was a sound of retching.
Wu Zuo brought the scraped thing to his eyes for careful inspection, sniffed it affectionately, and stuck out his tongue to taste it.
Yang Xuan turned away, feeling that this line of work was really not easy.
The old thief whispered: "This appetite is just a little bit worse than mine."
He said with a smile, "Young Master, it's not poisonous."
"It's not poisonous?" Yang Xuan nodded, and the prostitute raised her head, "Young Master, it won't happen immediately."
Yang Xuan asked: "How do you know?"
The female prostitute said confidently: "I have seen the wind on horseback."
This is an old expert.
Cao Ying hurried in and said to Yang Xuan.
"Someone in the court raised a problem yesterday. There was an error in an account in the Ministry of Revenue, and Supervisor Qin was the one who handled it."
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "That has nothing to do with us."
Cao Ying's voice was even deeper, "Prisoner Qin is from the left prime minister."
