Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang did not go with Su Ren. The two old men were no longer fit to travel long distances, not to mention that the academy was the last hope in their hearts. The master father Yan now became the palm print of the academy. This was Su Ren's special purpose to find the emperor.
Liu Che has no objection to this. The entire academy must have been built by Su Ren. One palm print will not have much impact on the academy. Liu Che also wants to see if the academy can still operate normally without Su Ren.
He hopes the academy can last longer than Su Ren.
He ran to Xiwu in one breath. Su Ren's war horse was already covered in sweat. Su Ren found a clean cloth to wipe the horse clean, then led it away slowly, waiting for the family members who had been thrown far away by him.
When he came here, he took the water route. This time when he went back, Su Ren decided to take the dry route. When Xiwu Ling learned that Su Hou had arrived at his territory, he hurriedly brought people to greet him. Unfortunately, his eyesight was bad, so he led the people from where he was holding the horse.
Su Ren rushed past, not only ignored Su Ren, but also made Su Ren look disgraced.
I had no choice but to find a water canal to wash. When Huo Guang and Su Jian caught up, Su Ren was washing the horses. Xiwu is a good place. It is close to the Wei River and has vast plains for farming. The green fields surround the Wei River.
It looks very comfortable when you look up. A group of farmers are working, and a few half-year-old children are running wildly on the ridge of the fields. A woman is carrying a bamboo basket to deliver food to the field. The owner of the house closest to Su Ren invites Su
Together with Ren, Su Ren smiled and refused. It can be seen that this family is not rich. There are only a few dry biscuits and a bowl of vegetable soup in the basket. If Su Ren eats it, the owner of the family will be hungry.
.
After waiting for the carriage, Su Ren said goodbye and left. This time he stopped running wildly and followed the convoy slowly forward. They did not stop at Xiwu, perhaps because he was eager to go home, so Su Ren walked very quickly. Just
It took five days to arrive in Hanzhong. We did not stop in Hanzhong and continued south. Until we saw the city wall of Chengdu, everyone finally cheered. We were already home when we arrived in Chengdu.
Huo Laosi led people to greet him, and almost all the merchants in Chengdu were brought out. To Huo Guang's surprise, none of the officials from Chengdu showed up. Although Su Ren resigned and returned to his hometown this time, his title of Marquis was still there.
The title of General Hussar is still there, which means that Su Ren is still an official of the imperial court. But no one came to greet him, which can explain many problems.
But Su Ren didn't care. There were no officials present, so they spoke more casually. Su Ren was known as the God of Wealth of the Han Dynasty. It was precisely because of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce that he was established. Those who came to greet him were all those old people. Su Ren still remembers
They name each other and occasionally talk about embarrassing things that only they themselves know, so the atmosphere is very lively.
Su Ren has a family in Chengdu, so there is no need to arrange another place to live. Huo Laosi has been sending people to take care of it these years, so the house is still in the same condition as when they left. As soon as Su Ren stepped into the house,
The whole person seemed to have come to life, changing his tiredness along the way. At one moment, he ordered everyone to move their luggage, and at another, he asked people to boil water to prepare for bathing and rest. The whole afternoon was lively, and in the evening, he was dragged out by a group of people to drink, until the second day.
He didn't come back this morning.
The days passed like this day by day. Su Ren would either go drinking with Zhang San or go on an outing with Li Si. Sometimes he would take Huo Guang with him, and sometimes Su Jian would follow. Both of them could see from Su Ren's face.
It can be seen from the above that this is the first time in many years that Su Ren has shown such a sincere smile, and his smile is so unrestrained.
Cui Jiuming is in the secret room of the Su family. Last year, he quietly came to Shu County and lived in the abandoned courtyard of the Su family with the help of Huo Laosi. Because everyone in Chengdu knew that it belonged to Su Ren.
Although no one has lived in the property for so many years, no one dares to do anything to this yard, so it is safest for Cui Jiuming to live here.
After drinking half a pot of one cup after another, Cui Jiuming lay on the table and cried loudly. Su Ren gently patted Cui Jiuming on the back: "Why are you crying? The old shopkeeper has a strong body. If you drink like this, I will wait for you to die."
No matter what, the old shopkeeper won’t do anything.”
After crying for a long time, Cui Jiuming raised his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves, glaring at Su Ren: "Just look at my joke! I did it just to find a way out for the Cui family. Our Cui family is the head of Chang'an merchants.
Family, but we are businessmen! Businessmen! What’s the use of having money? No matter how much we earn, we are just doing work for others.”
"Okay, okay, you did the right thing, come on, come on, have a drink!"
Cui Jiuming raised his neck and drank another drink: "I admit that I don't have the vision of my father, but I am lucky! If I hadn't met you back then, there would be no Cui family now! Without you, neither would our brothers.
Drink in this cellar!"
Su Ren was amused: "What's there to show off about drinking in a cellar?"
"I'm just showing off! No matter how many people want to drink with you, they can't find you. You are willing to accompany me to drink in the cellar, I'm proud of you!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren picked up the wine glass again: "Okay, then be proud again and drink!"
Cui Jiuming felt a little better, and Su Ren asked: "What do you think after taking a trip to Yelang and Nanbian? You were a fat man when you left Chang'an, and now you are so thin, you must have left."
Less space.”
Cui Jiuming looked at his current appearance and nodded quickly: "You don't know if you look at it, but you will be shocked at first glance. You really have a long-term plan. You have people in such far places. I know that I am not as good as you.
But I don’t think there is much difference between you and me in the business journey, but after this journey, I can see that you are, you are..."
"monster?"
"Yes, you monster! You are thousands of miles away from here! Where do you think you are going?"
Su Ren smiled slightly: "Actually, I just want to see what's over there, that's all!"
Cui Jiuming kept clicking his tongue: "To be honest, when did you start planning? If you turn all your caravans into soldiers, no! Your caravans are more powerful than soldiers! No wonder the emperor is afraid of you! It's not unreasonable.
"
Su Ren sighed: "I don't want to either, but I don't want to put my life, the life of my family and the lives of my friends in the hands of others. You and I are both businessmen, you should understand this."
Cui Jiuming nodded: "Who says it's not the case!"
This time when Su Ren returned to his hometown, he really went back to his hometown. He didn't bring the marquis's guard of honor or his personal guards. He just stayed with his family and a few close people. He stayed in Chengdu for half a month.
The family continued southward, and stayed in Dujiangyan for a few days, leaving Luyi behind, and continued southward. What Su Ren did not expect was that Zhang Hu was still the magistrate of Wenshui County. Ever since Changshi was transferred to Chengdu
, Zhang Hu, the former Wenshui police chief, became the Wenshui County magistrate. Over the years, he had many opportunities for further promotion, but Zhang Hu rejected them and stayed in Wenshui.
Zhang Hu is also old. He can no longer ride a horse and can only ride in a car. When he saw Su Ren, he was about to kneel down, but Su Ren pulled him back: "Brother Zhang was the benefactor who saved my life back then. We don't have to do this."
.”
Zhang Hu laughed heartily, took Su Ren's hand and held it tightly: "Brother Su, you're welcome. I, Zhang Hu, don't have any other skills. I'm still very accurate in judging people. I said at the beginning that Brother Su's future will be limitless. Look,
Look now? Uh! Hahaha..."
Wenshui is no longer the Wenshui it used to be. I dare not boast about anything else. People who can live in Wenshui County are not inferior in financial resources to people in the inner city of Chang'an. Wenshui is now the richest county in the entire Han Dynasty.
.However, they did not become arrogant and domineering because of their wealth. Instead, they became gentle. The real Wenshui people were polite, enthusiastic, and polite to everyone they met. Even the people who were fleeing from other places tried their best to settle down, as long as they were within their own capabilities.
Everyone will give you a certain amount of help. Some people say that Wenshui people live up to their name, and all of them are gentle gentlemen.
Of course, Wenshui people also have another side, that is, they are xenophobic. They are very xenophobic. No matter how rich you are, they will not treat you as a Wenshui person as long as you arrive in Wenshui, and the government will not apply for household registration for you. Starting from ten years ago, Wenshui people
The registered population of Wenshui has almost no growth. In addition, only Wenshui people can participate in major events in Wenshui. Of course, others join in the fun and Wenshui people greet them with smiles. If you want to participate, it is impossible. Even weddings and funerals are no exception.
Wenshui women are not allowed to marry outside, but men are a different matter.
But Su Ren is an exception. Su Ren saw the welcome ceremony given to him by the Wenshui people, which was a real courtesy. The village elders offered wine, the wise men led the horses, and the most beautiful children presented flowers. Even the Wenshui people who didn't know Su Ren knew it.
This is the best way for Wenshui people to welcome their families back home. On this day, every shop on the long street in Wenshui Town closed its doors, leaving the entire street vacant for a long street banquet that only occurs during the Chinese New Year. The elderly were a little bit
I know Su Ren, and some have heard of Su Ren. I eat and drink from the city gate one by one to the city. Say hello and tell some jokes to those I know well. If you don’t know me well, praise your children.
Su Ren was drunk and was carried back by some old people, and he was still clamoring for a drink. Looking at Su Ren's appearance and the joy of the old people, Huo Guang felt more and more that he was an extraordinary teacher.
Since entering Shu County, he has been observing, and he didn't notice anything at first. The officials who were still in office in Chengdu did not welcome him and were upset, but now he has another opinion.
A place that has been left for more than ten years, when you come back, it is not a strange place, but a greater joy. In just one day, a person in a county no longer looks like a big man. A person who has been here for more than ten years
The county magistrate and a group of fanatical people. In addition to these, Huo Guang also knew that there is a place called Yuanshan County south of Wenshui, which was built by his teacher. If the unconscious man in front of him really
What are your thoughts? The roads in Shu County are rugged and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. In addition to the God of Wealth, the teacher also has another title. Isn’t this big man’s world...! (To be continued)
