Chapter 395 Shocking Secrets
Wenjin County, Han Mansion. The guests on the seats are always full, and the wine in the glass is not empty.
The Han Mansion set up more than 20 tables of wine to entertain guests from all over the world. Mr. Han personally toasted each table. After chatting with familiar guests, he returned to the lobby. There were two tables in the lobby, and there were smart people in Wenjin County. Wenjin County Magistrate Shi Chenliang was present.
"This governor Jiang is really a little golden hand. The problem of Huazhou's fruits and vegetables is difficult to preserve for more than a thousand years. He solved it when he came. It's so high. I, Lao Qin, admired him so much."
"My house has been doing day and night for the past few days [31 Novel Network
This scholar is named Chen Wenze. He is the younger brother of Chen Wenhui, the fifth-rank Taichang Cheng. He also has a cousin Chen Wensi who works as a sihu in Lingzhou to join the army. He said this to obviously want to occupy the share of the honey fruits in Lingzhou. Lingzhou is much richer than Huazhou and has a dense population. Honey fruits must be sold there. Han Wang sneered in his heart. Chen Wenze made a good idea and had a good appetite.
Someone immediately sarcastically said, "Chen Lao Er, don't bully others with your power. I'm going to go to Lingzhou to do honey fruit business these two days, why don't your brother let me get it for the time being."
The person who spoke was a rough man with a bearded face and holding a lamb leg in his hand. He looked at Chen Wenze indifferently. Tang Dahe, the nephew of Tang Changfu, the general of the Left Jinwu Guard, had never been against Chen Wenze, and they would fight when they got the chance.
Seeing that the two of them were bulging their eyes like cockfighting, Han Won hurriedly came forward with a smile and said, "Brothers, be kind and make money. Don't get hurt by the little money. For my sake, come and drink a drink together."
In front of Han Won-shi, neither of them dared to take the lead. They stood up and raised their glasses to respond, and a battle turned into invisible.
When Han Won really sat back to the master's seat, an old man in his fifties put a glass of wine on him and asked with a smile: "Han Gong, Governor Jiang threw out this honey fruit to benefit the people of Huazhou. In fact, we have gained a big head. How come this Governor Jiang gave a big gift for no reason? The gift must be something for others. I wonder where this Governor Jiang is?"
Han Yuanshi's literati was beside him and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng is just thinking of his understanding. He knows that the governor Jiang is doing this to make everyone not mess around in the border cities of the Western Regions, why bother Han Gong to tell him it?"
Mr. Cheng laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, Xiao Wei speaks straight. I, Old Cheng, have no idea. I want to hear what Mr. Han means. Xiao Wei, let's have one."
Wei Qing, a scholar in Qingshan, was a juren. He failed the sixth time in Beijing to take the imperial examination. He simply accepted Han Wonshi's recruitment and served as an aide in the Korean government to give him some ideas.
Tang Dahe came over to toast with a cup. After Han Yuanshi took a sip, he smiled at Han Yuanshi with a shameless smile: "Mr. Han, my family has made less than a thousand cans of honey fruit. Damn, honey is gone. Honey is originally a shortage of goods. There are not many honey products on the market in Huazhou. As soon as the recipe for honey fruit comes out, the price of honey is three pieces a day. Originally, a hundred pounds of honey worth 200 pounds per pound. According to the recipe, each can of honey fruit has to be given two taels of honey. My family has used up more than 200 pounds of honey. I have used up more than 200 pounds of honey. I have already asked people to buy it in the surrounding states, but the fruits bought are piled up at home and can't wait. Old man, you are the pillar of Huazhou. Your family has a great business and great means. I heard that your family has bought a lot of honey recently. Can you give me a few hundred pounds of honey first? I bought it at the price of 200 pounds per pound. If I buy it back, I can pay it back to you."
Han Yuanshi smiled and said, "Xiao Tang, others think you are a rough man, but in fact you have a lot of colorful intestines and your abacus is hanging on your chest to beat him. Who told me to be sworn brothers with your uncle? You can go to Han Shi later and ask him to give you 200 kilograms. I bought it from Qingzhou yesterday, and you will smell it."
Chen Wenze smiled and said without a smile: "The fruits and vegetables in Huazhou are already sweet enough, and add honey to them. The sweet ones are so tiring. According to the prescription of Jiang Tuan, it is a waste of money. I won't be such a fool. Save some money and honey fruits to sell cheaper, so that people can compete with me."
His words were actually responded by nearly half. Chen Wenze laughed proudly and looked at Tang Dahe provocatively: "Oh, it seems that there are many smart people, unlike some who are greedy for small gains because of their thick-skinnedness."
Tang Dahe snorted angrily, without saying a word, and his head was thinking that if he didn't give honey, each can of honey fruit would save for 40 cents, and the cost would be only about fifty cents. Even if he only sold one or five cents of silver per can in Lingzhou, it would be like picking money. There was a silver star in his eyes, and Tang Dahe was too lazy to argue with Chen Wenze, and returned to his seat with a smile to continue eating and drinking.
Shi Chenliang stood up and said, "Everyone, don't forget to pay commercial taxes when you are rich. Lord Jiang has an order that this honey fruit is taxed on a monopoly sale, each can of fifty cents. The county's taxes can be relied on you all. I borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Shi respects everyone a cup and thanks in advance."
Everyone was talking about honey fruits and various ideas to reduce costs emerged one after another. Han Won seemed a little restless tonight. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he stood up and said, "I am a little tired today, so I won't drink more with you. Zhiming and Zhiyu, you guys respect your uncles and uncles for your grandfather."
Everyone stood up and gave him respectfully. Han Yuanshi followed the corridor to the back house. The quieter the further back, there was a guard at the corner of the bush. When he saw Han Yuanshi, he saluted silently.
Han Won Shi walked towards a quiet courtyard on the east side, and a sound of dog barking came from the courtyard from a distance, and someone came out to greet him. More than a dozen temples were hidden in the bushes, and the fragrance of osmanthus was refreshing. Han Won Shi was excited and strode towards the main house. Under the corridor, an old man with a white beard looked at him with a smile.
"Brother", Han Wangshi stepped forward quickly and hugged the old man tightly.
After a long time, the two separated, Han Yuanshi burst into tears and said with sobs: "Brother, I've been missing for another fourteen years. You don't come to see me. When I came last time, your hair was still black, why is it all white now?"
Zhou Shaofeng said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, you don't think about it. Brother, I am already seventy years old this year. I am already a person who doesn't know what to do tomorrow. How can my hair not be white? But you have been pampering over the years and still look like a person in your fifties."
The two of them entered the house hand in hand, and someone brought tea, covered the door with a faint cover, and guarded outside the door, asking them to have a secret talk.
Han Won-shi sighed: "Brother, you took me around and fled. In a blink of an eye, fifty-three years have passed, and you and my brothers are all white-headed people."
Zhou Shaofeng looked at his younger brother with some guilt and sighed: "When the family was destroyed and the country was destroyed, you were only eleven years old. You were following me at a young age. It is hard for you not to say thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry for you. Later, I gave you to the Han family because I was afraid that you would not be able to keep your life." Han Yuanshi's original name was Zhou Shaocheng, and he was the son of Zhou Limin, the Minister of War of the Great Qi State of the Yuantian Sect. After the Zheng army captured Huaixing Prefecture City, Zhou Shaofeng and Zhou Shaocheng, who was only eleven years old, wandered to Huazhou. Faced with Long Wei's tracking, in order not to implicate his younger brother, Zhou Shaofeng fostered his young brother at the Han family and left alone.
The Han family had no children and adopted Zhou Shaocheng. Zhou Shaocheng was renamed Han Won Shi. After becoming an adult, Han Won Shi made a business in the Western Regions by relying on family traditions and earned a family business. After getting married and having children, Han Won Shi did not want his descendants to experience a displaced life. He moved his family several times, trying to cut off his connection with the Yuantian Sect.
Fourteen years ago, his elder brother Zhou Shaofeng suddenly appeared at home with a few people, telling him that the Yuantian Sect had a foundation overseas and was now summoning his old subordinates to find an opportunity to raise an uprising and let him secretly help him. Han Yuan actually has three sons and two daughters and six grandchildren, and he doesn't want to work hard for the illusory Great Qi Empire anymore.
Zhou Shaofeng was furious and blamed him for being greedy for comfort and forgetting his parents' blood feud and wanting to cut off relations with him. When Han Yuan was really hesitant, the Western Regions coalition forces suddenly invaded and broke through more than a hundred miles at night to surround Wenjin County. At that time, the Wenjin County Magistrate was defending the city, and the Western Regions Army lost nearly a thousand people under the city. The Western Regions Army was furious and vowed to massacre the city.
There is no end to the nest under the collapse of the nest. As a result, the Yuantian Cult had to work with the official army to resist the invasion of the Western Regions. It was precisely because of the help of Zhou Shaofeng and other masters that Wen Jin's county was able to be preserved, but Han Yuanshi's eldest son and third son died in battle at the top of the city.
Later, Han Wang was rewarded by the court, and his second son Han Liangqing became Sima of the Anxi Protectorate. Liu Ziwei felt that the opportunity was rare and asked Han Wang to be an insider to provide information to the Yuantian Sect. Zhou Shaofeng felt deeply sorry for his younger brother. He has not come to find Han Wangshi for fourteen years. After the Yuantian Sect failed in the Bingzhou uprising, he fled to Huazhou. Liu Ziwei originally wanted to avoid the Han Guofu, but Zhou Shaofeng flatly refused and did not want to cause trouble for his brother.
On the contrary, Han Yuan was worried that his brother would be captured, so he secretly sent someone to find Zhou Shaofeng and found a place for the escaped Yuantian Cult to settle down. However, Liu Ziwei, Wei Dachang and others were unwilling to be lonely. They first killed Ren Jingchen, the governor of Huazhou, and then attacked Jiang Anyi, which made Jiang Anyi suspicious of the Han family. Long Wei also turned his attention to the Han Mansion.
Liu Ziwei knew that the situation was not good, so he didn't dare to stay in Huazhou for a long time and fled to Luzhou in the Kurqi Desert. This Luzhou was discovered by Han Wang when he was young when he was in the Western Regions. The location was hidden, no one knew, and no one knew it was the property of the Han family.
Looking at his younger brother, Zhou Shaofeng felt guilty and apologized: "Shaocheng, I shouldn't have come to you fourteen years ago. Oh, it's too late to say anything now. The court hawk is arresting us everywhere. We have already escaped to the Western Regions. This time I will pick up your father in your mansion. Don't worry, I will make it clear to Brother Liu. From now on, I will break up with you with Yuantian Sect and no longer interact. Don't worry, you won't be involved."
The father and the others in the horse yard were sent to Huazhou to believers of the Yuantian Sect. Five years ago, Zhou Shaofeng asked someone to send a message to him to help redeem it and keep it in the mansion. It seems that these people have extraordinary identities, otherwise their brother would not have come to pick them up in person.
Looking at his brother with white hair, Han Yuan felt sad. After leaving this time, I am afraid that there will be no meeting again. The brother and others fled far away to the Western Regions, and he broke up with the Yuantian Sect. Liangqing and his grandchildren will not be implicated. It is difficult to achieve both worlds, and the ending is pretty good.
"Get wine," Han Won-shi ordered loudly.
