Chapter forty-eight people with heart, winter solstice
"Master, this young master from Lingnan seems to have an impure purpose."
After seeing Feng Zhidae away, Lai Fu said next to his master with a hint of vigilance.
Because I have followed Shu'an for decades, even Lai Fu has a way of seeing people, so I can't help but remind my master.
"It's okay, it's just that I want to use the influence to allow my father to stay in Lingnan with peace of mind."
"People's words are terrifying, and that's what it means. The admonitions of various states must have made Feng Ang sweat."
"Even the one in the palace feels that this is true, so I believe Feng Ang will leave some people to pay attention to the situation in the Chang'an court after this time."
"If it weren't for Wei Zheng this time, I'm afraid Feng Ang wouldn't be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River."
Shu An said softly with his eyes flashing. He didn't care about this before, but after seeing the Lingnan convoy that day, he remembered this incident.
Then I learned about it. After all, there is no communication in this era. Even if the news from Lingnan is rushing, it will take nearly a month to arrive in Chang'an.
So Li Shimin's suspicion makes sense, so he naturally needs to be fully prepared.
As for Feng Zhidai, he is considered a character, and as for his words, Shu An has no trust. This young man is still a little immature.
If he came to visit Chang'an on the first day, Shu'an would believe in seven points, and now he would have less than three points at most.
Perhaps Feng Ang did admire him, but how could it be easier to rise in chaos and dominate Lingnan for a few years?
Of course, if you don’t believe it or not, this business still needs to be done, so Shu An doesn’t mind pretending to believe it.
In addition, the most important point is that Feng Ang is trustworthy, and this has been proven in history.
That's why Shu An dared to endorse Feng Ann, but I guess Feng Ann should have spent a lot of money and given a lot of gifts on this trip.
No need to think too much Shu An knows that Feng Zhidai should be traveling between the residences of princes and ministers in the court these two days.
Sometimes fame is also an obstacle to wealth, because his indifference to fame and fortune seems to lead him to miss a good fortune.
"What a pity."
Shu An thought of this and couldn't help but secretly say that no one would like to think of the amount of money, especially the next relief would cost a lot of money.
If it weren't for the fact that he had accumulated a lot of wealth over the past few decades, this round would not be enough. However, how many people he could save this time meant how much reward he could get.
Chang'an Restaurant
Because of Feng Zhidi's entry into Chang'an and the visits to all the ministers, even the nobles are talking about this matter.
Especially after Feng Zhidi asked for a pair of words from An Xuangong, it caused a sensation.
It is impossible to use money to get it. After all, this is An Xuan Gong, and someone else saw Feng Zhidi entering Shu Mansion without bringing anything.
After all, because of the Ten Questions of Shumen, many scholars were not far from the door of Shu Mansion, so they naturally saw Feng Zhidai.
With such evidence, the possibility of money was first ruled out. So what method did Feng Zhidai use to obtain this decoction?
This question is not only the curiosity of the entire Chang'an nobles and families, but Li Shimin, who was in the palace at this time, was also curious.
"This is not like the character of my father-in-law."
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but murmur softly, how could he not pay attention to Feng Zhidae who came from Lingnan?
The entire Chang'an is under the control of hundreds of horsemen, so naturally he will not miss this one. Feng Zhidai was seen by this emperor in the past two days.
"It seems that Lingnan has brought a lot of wealth."
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little delicious when he looked at a document in his hand. He said that the ministers in the court basically collected a lot.
This naturally made Li Shimin dissatisfied. This trend should not rise. It seemed that only a few people refused to accept gifts from Lingnan.
As for this father-in-law, he couldn't see through the words and did not receive any gifts from Lingnan. However, he even wrote a copy of the words to someone.
However, although Li Shimin was curious, he did not pay much attention because he was thinking about the treatment of Lingnan.
"Since Feng Ang has no intention of rebelling, what's the point of letting him be in Lingnan."
Li Shimin finally murmured softly, in fact, there were hundreds of cavalry people who had sent to Lingnan before.
The situation in Lingnan is naturally clear. Feng Ang was competing with the chief of Lili people at this time, so he did not enter the court for a long time.
"It just happened to be a hit to some people, and even my interests were dared to touch."
This emperor quickly remembered another thing, that is, the income from the teahouse.
Although Feng Zhidai brought a lot of tributes from Lingnan, it was only short-term for Li Shimin, and the teahouse was the long-term benefit.
"Have these people behind these teahouses found out? I guess many of the backstages are ministers in the court, a group of corpses and food that are just for food."
Even though Li Shimin had not seen the situation in these teahouses, he still knew the tricks behind these people.
"Your Majesty, you have investigated it."
Li Junxian said respectfully from the side, and then handed over a list.
"The prince-in-law, Yuanwailang, Dali Sizhi..."
Looking at the list, even though Li Shimin's expression changed, he finally cut off several names from the list, leaving two or three people behind.
This time, almost all the officials in Chang'an who gave gifts in Lingnan received one, so they took these people to the surgery. As for the deeper reasons, he naturally would not say.
......
Shu An didn't know what Li Shimin thought. At this time, he first sent someone to reach a cooperation with Feng Zhidi and bought 200,000 stones at a price of 20 min per stone.
On average, a dou of rice costs only 2 cents, which is half the current price of Changan rice. However, the price paid is 400,000 guan, and the shipping fee on the road is at least nearly 500,000 guan.
This has almost exhausted Shu'an's savings for many years. Even Shu'an has some pain. If the industry is not still there, and if there is no war, it can provide tens of thousands of chunks of income every year, I would probably have to drink the northwest wind.
After a while of confusion, Shu An thought about it. After all, money is not brought by life or death, it is enough.
Shu'an immediately focused on another thing. If you count the days, the winter solstice will be coming soon.
If it were placed in the later generations of the Winter Solstice, it would not be a big deal, but in this era, the Winter Solstice is a big festival.
"If I remember correctly, the Winter Solstice seems to have a ceremony to worship the sky."
Shu An whispered softly that in later generations, in order to reproduce the top royal ritual system of the Tang Dynasty and continue the traditional Chinese culture, there was a ceremony to worship the sky every year.
Of course, when you think of the winter solstice, Shu'an naturally thinks of dumplings and dumplings. In the north, you eat dumplings, while in the south, you have dumplings.
