Chapter 248 There are many sons on the eastbound road
Early morning, Yan'an Prefecture.
Yang Lin sat on the couch, while Suina was combing his hair, and said: "Tell Lao Zhongjinglue that I won't wait for you in Yan'an Mansion. All ministries will abide by their duties and are not allowed to deliver. Bring the peaches and we will set off immediately."
Lu Wang, who was standing outside, clasped his fists and said yes, turned around and left. The new situation on the border destined the Western Army to be busy. Yang Lin ordered not to send each other off, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, some are far away, and traveling back and forth is very time-consuming and may also delay political affairs.
The roads in the northwest are not as smooth and wide as those in Kaifeng Mansion, and they are reluctant to be paved with bluestone slabs.
The so-called official road is nothing more than a loess road. After the loess is sifted, lime is mixed with it, and it is flattened and tamped with stones. Then a large amount of firewood is piled, lit and burned, and the entire road is burned.
The vehicle was still a little bumpy as it was bumpy due to years of wear and tear. Yang Lin was holding two beauties, one big and one small, and the gentle bumps were a pleasure.
Zhong Guiyi's little head raised his head and glanced at Suina from time to time, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with her for taking away Yang Lin during this period.
What kind of person is Su Yina? She has always been subdued in front of Yang Lin in her life. When Yang Lin was not paying attention, she glared at her fiercely, which scared Little Taozi and jumped into Yang Lin's arms.
Not noticing the fight between the two people, Yang Lin stuck his head out and observed the ground thoughtfully.
The structure of my carriage is stable, but it is a little bumpy. This road is so important and affects the smoothness of the northwest trade route. How can it not be repaired?
With a wry smile, Yang Lin secretly sighed that it was a pity that he was a scumbag, otherwise he would have made some cement. After he returns to the court, he will report to His Majesty and recruit some idle officials from the capital to supervise the road construction.
That's good.
At this time, three young masters wearing bright clothes and angry horses, accompanied by five or six falcons, seven or eight hounds, and more than a dozen followers with teeth and claws, hawks and dogs were roaring past.
What made them so lucky was that the horses under their crotches were all shoed. No matter how solid the loess road was, it couldn't withstand such trampling. When the hoof hit it, a shallow pit was created, with sand flying and yellow dust filling the air.
The Long Live Battalion in front was so eye-catching, and the red jerseys were particularly conspicuous. The three of them seemed unaware, or did not care at all. They talked and laughed all the way, as if there was no one around, and drove their horses forward in a daze, as if they were sure that the men and horses in front of them would do it.
They gave way.
Yang Lin ordered the grooms to drive forward. The three snow-white horses pulling the carriage were tall and strong, with strong legs. They were very handsome and taller than the three people's mounts.
What these gentlemen usually pay attention to is their sensual and sensual horses. A famous horse not only shows their wealth and wealth, but also represents their status in the circle. Yang Lin used such a famous horse to pull a cart, which shows that he has extraordinary wealth, and he was immediately attracted by the three young gentlemen.
Become a like-minded person.
One of the young men in a brocade hat and mink fur smiled at the car curtain and said, "The friend in front of you is also going to Bianjing to participate in the lantern celebration. Why don't we go together as a companion?"
Yang Lin opened the car curtain, and the three people's eyes suddenly lit up. What a handsome beauty.
Suina was used to being proud, and countless good men on the grassland were surrounding her to show their attentiveness. Little Pepper never pretended to say anything, but glared at them and turned away.
Yang Lin just wanted to scold them with a straight face, so that these dandy boys would know how to take care of themselves.
At this time, one of them pointed at Zhong Guiyi and said, "Xiao Taozi, why are you here?"
Zhong Guiyi was obviously very familiar with these people. He rolled his eyes and said nothing. The three of them looked at each other and suddenly understood.
"It turns out to be Yang Shaozai. The lower officials and others have met Shaozai."
The person in front of me is the backer of their Western Army, and I still want him to give way. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Yang Lin finally got the chance and scolded: "Are you from the Western Army?"
The three people quickly reported their families, and it turned out that they were all descendants of the Western Army's aristocratic families. The Western Army was short of food and pay all year round, and it was these people who traveled around to earn money to maintain their confrontation with Xixia.
These generals' sons held money in their hands and were protected by soldiers, so it was inevitable that they would act in a more flamboyant manner.
"I am the official Zhe Yanwen. My father can ask for help. I am the seventeenth in the clan. The young master can just call me Xiao Qi."
"My lower official is Yao Shu, my father is Yao Gu."
"My father Yang Ceqing, my name is Yang Boxun."
Yang Lin, who was all a disciple of the generals, couldn't help but be speechless.
The three people in front of me are Yao Shu, the son of Yao Gu, Zhe Yanwen, the son of Zhe Keqiu, and Yang Boxun of the Yang family.
Yang Lin nodded, closed the car curtain, jumped out of the car, sat behind the horse and asked: "You are all children of the Western Army. You should know the value of this road. If you have nothing to do and call eagles and dogs, you also need to
How unbecoming is it to trample people like this just to show off their power?"
The three people were ashamed and accused each other repeatedly. Yang Lin asked: "What lantern ceremony did you talk about earlier? When did it happen? Why didn't I get the news? Did the officials issue an order? It was arranged by that minister."
If the official family holds such a grand ceremony, it must be a big deal. Logically speaking, I should have got the news long ago. There is no reason to know it later than these dudes.
The faces of these officials were strange, and they were silent for a while. Finally, Yang Boxun clasped his fists and said, "I'm ashamed that this lantern ceremony was not hosted by His Majesty, but by the Bianliang Chamber of Commerce. They invited all the oiran leaders in the Kaifeng Prefecture, Guangzhou
Inviting wealthy businessmen to the meeting seems to be about discussing some banknotes. Although we are military members, we often go on business trips, so we were also invited."
Bianliang Chamber of Commerce? Yang Lin concentrated for a moment and thought to himself, isn't this something I created? That Wang Yun was elected as the first president, and he even sent someone to deliver a gold abacus to celebrate.
After a little digging at the beginning, it seemed that they had actually made a bank note. This thing was in the hands of the Long Live Battalion, but the merchants also made a lot of profits.
At least I no longer have to push cartloads of big money around, so it’s no wonder they work hard to promote themselves.
Yang Lin asked them to remove the exaggerated shoes on the horses' hooves and replace them with military-style iron palms, and then led the crowd to lead the way.
Since he is a child of the Western Army, he can be considered half of his disciples, so it is time to educate him well.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Yang Lin found that these people were not wary of him at all and were even a little close to him.
It's no wonder that this is the case, after all, for the Western Army, he is their only backer in the court.
When the Western Army was in the most difficult situation, he gave them three years of rations. When Tong Guan harmed the strong men of Qinlong, he stepped in to save them. After winning the battle, the civil and military ministers of the DPRK wanted to disband the Western Army, but he stepped in to save them.
These children of general families have long regarded themselves as members of Shao Zai's sect. These people are from famous families, are fond of socializing, and are generous and generous. Apart from being a little ostentatious, they are also very good yamen.
Yang Lin wanted to give them some advice, so he took them all with him and rushed to Bianliang together.
