Chapter 25: All the way to the west! (Today's neck hurts so bad, there are only two chapters.)

Outside the city of Bianjing, on the edge of West Lake.

The caravan of the brigade was about to set off, but Yang Dechang was secretly hiding in an ordinary carriage. He was going west with the caravan.

There are not many caravans going west now. After all, Hezhong Prefecture is still fighting. At this time, most of the caravans that used to transport military supplies were mainly enterprises, while most of the companies transporting military supplies were enterprises registered with the Shiyisi.

In this short period of time, Shiyishi has extended its tentacles to many areas, and even the military supplies have been won over.

But it is normal. If enterprises in the Song Dynasty are in Bianjing, they will not be intact.

Either they were taken away or they were fined to go bankrupt. They could really protect themselves, or they were very tough in the backend, or they were just looking down on the City Yishen.

The caravan slowly started, and Yang Dechang breathed a sigh of relief. He finally left Bianjing City, a nightmare place, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He stepped into Bianjing City more than 20 years ago, which was the beginning of his reaching his peak. But now he left Bianjing City, he was hiding in the carriage like a mouse, and he dared to feel the shaking feeling of the wheel crushing on the concrete road.

After walking for a long time, the convoy finally left Bianjing City completely. Only then did Yang Dechang dare to sit at the front of the car and see the scenery along the road.

What a spectacular view between heaven and earth!

There is only a vast white area between heaven and earth, and a clean cement road extends to the horizon, like a road connected to the red clouds.

Yang Dechang had never seen such a spectacular view.

Because he hasn't come out during this severe cold for many years.

Just when he was immersed in sight, a voice sounded: "Brother Yang, is this scenery spectacular?"

Yang Dechang couldn't help but tremble and quickly turned around and found that it was Lin Tong who was smiling.

"Boss Lin, are you?"

Yang Dechang said in shock.

Lin Tong smiled and pointed to the west: "Brother Yang, go all the way west!"

Yang Dechang was both surprised and happy: "Boss Lin, are you going too?"

Lin Tong smiled cheerfully: "Yes, I'll go too, Boss Yang, let's go and see what's going on in the west!"

Yang Dechang smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Lin, why bother you? I am desperate. You can still live your life as a rich man."

Lin Tong shook his head and said, "Brother Yang, do you still remember that during the Zhiping period, the Prime Minister first preached Qingzhou, and we walked through this path at that time!"

Yang Dechang nodded. Of course he remembered that it was Ouyang Bian's first time to preach Qingzhou. Then, with an order, most of the merchants in Bianjing City ran west, and almost most of them set up factories in Qingzhou Industrial Park.

Yang Dechang was no exception. He was in the Qingzhou Industrial Park at that time, but he made great contributions in the construction of the Qingzhou Industrial Park, so he became the largest private banker in the Song Dynasty.

It’s a pity that time is fate.

Yang Dechang sighed.

Lin Tong was full of energy: "Boss Yang, there is our blessed land. As long as we arrive, we will have our noble people there. He has helped us all our lives, and this time will be no exception. With him, we will have a backer!"

However, Yang Dechang revealed some concerns: "I heard that many people on the Sixth Road in Shaanxi have escaped."

Lin Tong laughed: "I have inquired about it. They are all big landlords, big families, and landlords who lie on the people and suck blood. Xixia does not allow these, so they have to escape. We are different. Now Xixia takes agriculture and animal husbandry as the foundation and business as the driving force for development. We have gone and make great achievements!"

Yang Dechang nodded, hoping that's what it is.

Seeing that Yang Dechang was not interested in talking, Lin Tong did not force him.

They walked westward and walked on the concrete road very quickly, but it only took more than 500 miles, and it took only five or six days to reach it.

Five or six days later, Lin Tong's caravan was approaching Hezhong Prefecture. Lin Tong wanted to go to Chang'an. He wanted to bypass Hezhong Prefecture, but asked the people from Hezhong Prefecture that other places were blocked and they wanted to sell goods. It was best to go to Hezhong Prefecture, where 200,000 troops were gathered, and they consumed a lot every day. The freight was transported over and the Hezhong Prefecture could be digested.

Lin Tong naturally had no intention of this, but it was impossible to go to Chang'an without passing through Hezhong Prefecture, so he could only go there with his teeth.

The closer you get to Hezhong Prefecture, the more you can feel the chaotic scenes of people and chaotic times.

People in Hezhong Mansion kept escaping with their families, and they were all from large families. There were even a convoy of hundreds of carriages that stretched for several miles on the cement road.

However, what surprised Yang Dechang and Lin Tong was that most of them were rich and noble families, but poor families were rare. Lin Tong communicated with these fugitives at a rest stop and found that these people escaped from the Sixth Road in Shaanxi.

A fat official told Lin Tong angrily: "That damn Ouyang Bian was just staring at us who had land at home. Our land was also accumulated by hard-working ancestors from generation to generation. They were not robbed by dirty means. Why did he take it away if he wanted to!"

Lin Tong said in surprise: "Then you have escaped now, isn't that land still occupied?"

The fat official smiled bitterly and said, "Then we must not escape. I heard that Ouyang Bian in Xixia killed all the nobles of Dangxiang during the reform. So, that is a problem of the land. Maybe we are still staring at our money. If we don't leave, this big family will not be destroyed!"

Yang Dechang interjected: "No, is it right? The Western Xia Kingdom treats Dangxiang people differently and treats Han people after all, right?"

"Bah! What's the difference? The largest old Li family in Guanzhong and the largest landlord in Guanzhong, didn't they just use the fortress to fight? Do you know what they did after the fortress was broken?"

"What did they do?"

"What else can it be? Just kill people, your head is rolling, and the old and children have not let go. It's so miserable, a big family of tens of thousands of people!"

Lin Tong didn't quite believe it: "No, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

The fat man scratched his head: "I haven't seen it before, but everyone said that. If they say that, can it still be fake?"

Lin Tong laughed, "It's just a matter of hearing. Even if you kill someone, you won't be able to confiscate your family and destroy your clan. The prime minister is not so careless.

I want to ask you something. I see that there are many wealthy families running away along the way. Why haven’t those people seen a few of them?”

Speaking of this, Fatty Man Wai became even more angry: "Those mud legs are all looking forward to dividing my fields. How could they escape? They prepared to take off my head with a hoe every day, and then divide the fields. Anyway, Ouyang Bian will make the decision for them!"

Lin Tong and Yang Dechang looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
