Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve Adventures
Zhao Pugui was the prime minister, so high above the others, it would be impossible to directly go out to order the people at this time, because no one recognized him, but he went to find Fangzheng, and Fangzheng didn't recognize him, so how could he dare to obey orders indiscriminately.Fortunately, the flames were soaring here, and a military inspector from the Kaifu Fengzuo Military Inspection Court led people through this place, and when he saw this situation, he hurried over, but he recognized Zhao Xianggong, so he was able to relieve Zhao Pu around.
What is Zhao Pu's status in Song Dynasty now?As long as the emperor's orders go out of the palace gate, no matter how big or small they are, they are imperial decrees, and they will be invalid if they are not stamped by the second palace, but Zhao Pu is not the case. What he issued is not an imperial decree, but a general edict from the prime minister, as long as he writes it out , can be issued at any time, no one will not follow the order, it is faster and more effective than the imperial decree, in the hearts of the people in Kaifeng City, the current Zhao Xianggong and the Nanya Master Zhao who directly manages Kaifeng are more influential than the high-ranking officials. Even bigger, when Fangzheng heard that the man in front of him was indeed the current Zhao Xianggong, he hurriedly kowtowed on the spot in a panic, then got up and called on the people to tear down the house to put out the fire.
With Zhao Xianggong taking the responsibility, no one hesitated anymore, hook sawing axes, ropes prying wood, all the guys that could be used were used, and after a while, Dang Jin led the brigade of the Forbidden Army to catch up with them. Come on, the speed of picking up the house is really fast.Bamboo and wood structures are good for this. They are easy to burn and easy to tear down. The people and soldiers worked together to create a section of isolation around the fire, and the fire was finally brought under control.
As for the place where the fire broke out, I had already given up pouring water to put out the fire. I just rescued everyone from the house where the fire had just started, and helped to grab some soft belongings as much as possible, and let it burn the rest.Seeing that the fire was under control, Yang Hao just left the firefighting scene and sat down on a boulder under a willow tree covered in sweat and ashes.
These days, he has been keeping a low profile and living his life peacefully. He knows in his heart that the officials have already become suspicious of him because of the "reversing" incident, and this suspicion may not be dispelled by his clever tricks.He had no one in the court, even if Luo Gongming wanted to help him, he could only play side drums on certain occasions at the right time, while Nanya Zhao Guangyi had no such taboo at all.
His people were squeezed out by himself, how could he not be angry?Yang Hao believed in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, but he didn't believe that Zhao Guangyi also had his elder brother's heart.I remember that after Song Taizong became emperor, seeing the people cheering for his prince, he was jealous and hated, and almost wanted to abolish the prince.His own son is jealous, no matter how broad-minded he is, it is limited, now that he has offended him, and he can often see the emperor, as long as he says something unfavorable to him a few times, he may be killed suddenly.
Yang Hao couldn't grasp the official's current thoughts, so he had to try his best to pretend to settle in Kaifeng with peace of mind, just to dispel the murderous intent in the official's heart.Because he himself really wanted to live in Kaifeng for a long time and be a carefree official of the peace, it was not too much deception.Now that the house has been bought, servants and maidservants have also been hired, and they are also looking for ways to buy a few kabuki and dancers, looking like they will live in Kaifeng forever.
Since he arrived in Kaifeng, he hasn't visited the city well. Now that the spring is warm and the sun is shining, the things in the house are almost arranged, and the court has never done anything to him. It seems that the officials have forgotten him. , Yang Hao was like a mouse hiding in a hole, finally heaved a sigh of relief, and wanted to come out to see the weather of Kaifeng.
As a result, when it came out, there was a big fire. At first, he also carried water to put out the fire, but he didn't expect the fire to burn so fast, so fierce, and spread so quickly.In his subconscious mind, the impression of fire is still that of a fire under a reinforced concrete building. When he figured out the reason, the fire has spread in all directions. No matter how you fight, it only takes a quarter of an hour. Devouring a residential house, he thought of cutting off the fire source.
Now that the fire was under control, he retreated to the tree to rest.Zhao Kuangyin stood quietly on the other side of the willow tree, frowning and watching the fire scene.The fire was raging, and the bamboo and wood ignited "cracking" sounds, and there was a bang from time to time. It was a collapsed house. Once the house fell, countless sparks shot up into the night, rising seven or eight feet high, like a tree of fireworks, and then quickly disappeared. In the air, it turned into flying ashes.
Panting, Mu Yu ran to Yang Hao. Just now he was ordered by Yang Hao to help put out the fire. There were only a few smoke marks on Yang Hao's face, but he was black except for his eyes and teeth, like a Kunlun slave.He excitedly said: "My lord, the fire is under control."
Yang Hao smiled wryly and said: "Alas! Even though the fire was saved in time, at least three or four hundred households would be burned to the ground. The fire spread so fast that many families would go bankrupt because of this fire. People who have no relatives and friends to turn to, and no special skills are afraid that they will sell their sons and daughters to find a way to survive..."
Mu Yu said: "Who told them not to listen to the adults' good advice, and refused to demolish their own houses. The result is that they hurt others and themselves, and it is their own fault. Fortunately, they listened to the adults in the end, otherwise, I think it will be so hot Burn a few alleys, and there will be no tiles left in the north of Liangmen."
Yang Hao shook his head and said: "I didn't listen to what I said, but what Mr. Zhao said." Zhao Pu, who was talking to the city generals, Nanya inspectors, and local officials who came to the distance, praised him. He said: "This Mr. Zhao happened to pass by here, and he also thought of a way to knock down the house to stop the fire. Fortunately, he was there, and fortunately he also thought of this way, otherwise the number of people affected by the disaster would have increased several times at least."
"Is that official Mr. Zhao?" Mu Yu also looked at Zhao Pu and said, "That's no wonder. I just came over from there, and I heard from him that the injured should be treated as much as possible. For those whose houses were burnt down or whose houses were knocked down, the imperial court will subsidize money to rebuild their houses and subsidize some cloth and food. I heard that this man is a big official, but I don’t know him It is the famous Zhao Xianggong."
Yang Haoxi said: "The imperial court wants to help the people? That's great, hehe, of course it is him. If it weren't for him, which court minister would dare to make his own claim and immediately promulgate such measures to appease the people before asking for an order? Mr. Zhao is indeed A generation of outstanding people, the imperial court is about to march south, and this city of Tokyo cannot be messed up. With these actions, people’s hearts will be stabilized. Hmm..., the imperial court will subsidize money to build houses for them?"
"Yes, I just heard it with my own ears."
Yang Hao thought about it sideways, and suddenly said: "Xiaoyu, our family has bought land and houses these days, and hired servants and maidservants. The money brought from Luzhou is almost spent..."
Mu Yu grinned, showing a mouthful of small white teeth, and said, "It's okay, Yue'er has money. When we came to Tokyo City, Miss Tang handed over all her private money to Yue'er for safekeeping, and said she would keep it." Give it to you, sir."
Yang Hao shook his head and said, "No, I haven't married her yet, how can I use her money."
Mu Yu said: "Hey, what's the matter, the master will marry Miss Tang sooner or later, right?"
"That's different," Yang Hao said: "Cannibals are soft-spoken and short-handed. If I use her private money now, can I, a big man, still be able to raise my head and speak loudly in front of her in the future?"
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and heard Yang Hao say again: "Listen to me, go back quickly, take a few people, bring the rest of the money, and go to Wapoji, ten miles away, where bamboo, wood, bricks, etc. You can buy as many building materials as you can buy, such as terracotta tiles, reed rafters and jue.”
Mu Yu was stunned and said, "My lord, do you want to expand the house?"
Yang Hao laughed and said: "What kind of house is expanding? If you transport all the materials here, you need to build three or four hundred houses at once. The construction materials of the entire Wapoji will not be enough for a while. Once the materials are in short supply, the price will be reduced." It is bound to rise, and we can make a fortune every time we enter and exit, and our money will be much looser."
Zhao Kuangyin almost fainted when he heard it. The contrast is too great. Just now, he was a virtuous generation who worried about the country and the people. How could he become a big profiteer in the blink of an eye?
Mu Yu said in a low voice: "My lord, to earn money from these refugees, I think... I think it's better to use Miss Tang's money. Besides, didn't you say that this bamboo and wood structure is the easiest to catch fire? Even if we want to sell it, why should we sell it?" How about not just buying bricks and stones, but letting them settle once and for all?"
"Idiot!" Yang Hao tapped him on the head, and said with a wry smile, "If you think about it, you can achieve it, and there is nothing difficult in this world."
He looked up at the ashes that were still smoky, and said, "If you don't make money, someone else will make it, and if you don't raise the price, someone will raise it. Why don't you make it? We're not earning black-hearted money. As for the use of bricks and stones... What do you think of the traditional hairstyle of the Qiang people? The top of the head is bare, how cool it is, and in a few days it will be hot, and you advise us Han people to shave their heads, do you think they will agree?"
Thinking of that weird hairstyle, Mu Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course I won't, and I wouldn't do it if it were me."
"That's it. You have to know that the most difficult thing to change is people's habits and ideas. Some things can't be implemented if you think it's beneficial. The people here are used to bamboo and wood, and no one cares about you even if you try your best. Let them Realizing the benefits of using masonry, even if the court came forward and vigorously publicized it, it would take three to five or seven years at the fastest, and it is not possible now.
Furthermore, because the amount of masonry used here has always been very small, and the stock is limited, where can I buy it at the moment? Is it possible to order and bake it elsewhere?It was several months before the shipment arrived.Don't gossip, go and go, you go back to the house immediately, and go to Wapoji after you get the money. If there are merchants who are nimble and thoughtful, we will be too late. "
"Then you, my lord?"
"I've been walking back since I walked back. You are very agile, hurry back."
"Okay, let's go." Mu Yu responded, turned around and ran away.
Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly, turned around and walked away. After walking more than ten steps away, he stopped and said to a guard: "Go, tell Zhao Pu that there is no need to ask for an order, I will approve it. One more thing, during the disaster relief and construction of the residence, transport Those who sell bamboo, wood, masonry and stone building materials into the city will be exempted from all taxes."
The guard left in response to the sound, only to hear a bang, and another big house collapsed, causing the people to cry out in surprise. Zhao Kuangyin's brows tightened slightly, and he thought to himself: "Going back today, I have to call the ministers to discuss it carefully. I am getting closer and closer to Kaifeng. Prosperous, densely populated, scattered buildings, frequent fires, although this fire is inevitable, but no matter what, we must discuss a way to minimize the fire damage."
Yang Hao sent Mu Yu away and walked alone, along the Bianhe River to the vicinity of Killing Pig Alley.Along the way, I saw hundreds of boats vying to swim on the Bian River, with sails like clouds.Lake boats, saury boats, scorpion boats, anchor boats, big beach boats, boat boats, and flying boats are all kinds and have their own functions.Like a blood transfusion, the cloth from Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces, pearls and jade from Guangdong, clear tea from Sichuan, yellow fermented grains from Luoxia, dates from Anyi, tangerines from Jiangling, lacquer from Chen Xia, hemp from Qilu, ginger, osmanthus, and silk cloth, stuffed with soy sauce , rice, wheat and miscellaneous grains, imported into Tokyo one by one... Seeing these majestic ships made Yang Hao feel relaxed and happy.There are also many shops along the Bian River, selling a wide variety of goods, such as fur and rhinoceros jade from Tupan Uighur, grain from the Jianghuai River, aquatic products from coastal areas, cattle and sheep from the Liao Kingdom, fans from Japan, ink from Goryeo, and spices from Dashi. and pearls, as well as wine, fruit, tea, silk, paper, and books from all over the country.There are also some small shops selling snacks, such as cooked sheep's head, grilled sheep's face, belly lung, kidney crab, clam, jujube dumplings, and fragrant candy seeds, all of which are fragrant. The common people did not cause commotion because of the fire in the north of Liangmen, and there were still bustling crowds everywhere.Yang Hao glanced at the door of a bronze mirror shop by chance and found some black and gray streaks on his cheeks. Only then did he understand why there were always people pointing at him along the way, and hurriedly walked to the Bian River. The antique buildings in this place are scattered here and there, the carved and painted buildings are elegant and pleasant, the small windows and bead curtains are dark and quiet, like a villa area of a wealthy family, it looks much quieter.Those pavilions and pavilions are built near the water, the doors are on the side of the street, and most of the doors and windows on the side of the water are backyard doors and windows. When Yang Hao reached the river, he squatted down and washed his face. He just stood up when a short wooden stick hit him on the head with a bang.Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said angrily, "Which bastard is it... Ah, so it's a girl?" I saw half of her body protruding from the upstairs, but it was a young woman, her face was not powdered, she was elegant and charming, she was holding the window with one hand, her waist-length hair was hanging down like a black shiny satin , There are still some crystal drops of water hanging on the end, it seems that the hair has just been washed. Seeing a young man standing downstairs, the girl couldn't help but covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry, my family lost the window pole by mistake, so please don't take offense." This girl's face of Yixi Yichen is especially beautiful when she smiles, and the angry King Kong will turn into great compassion when seeing it, Yang Hao's anger disappeared, and he smiled: "It's not a problem, it's me. If you're not careful, you shouldn't be standing downstairs with the girl." The girl smiled and said, "Young master, please throw that pole up, okay?" "Ah? Good, good." Yang Hao suddenly felt that this scene looked familiar. He looked around, unfortunately, there was no one named Wang Po who opened a tea shop on the Bian River, or else this was clearly Ximen Qing's first encounter with Pan Jinlian. . He raised the pole, and the girl upstairs leaned on the window with one hand, stretched out with the other, caught the pole deftly, and smiled coquettishly at him: "Thank you, sir." "No thanks, no thanks!" Seeing the girl put down the window, the words that Yang Hao had memorized but could not remember jumped into his mind involuntarily, and he chanted casually: "The figure is already enchanting. , It’s really hard to describe. A skin like jade, but it’s even more beautiful, and it’s full of beauty. It sings and dances, Yingying has a smooth tongue, and Liu Jealousy has a slender waist..." I can't remember any further down, and after thinking about it carefully, I still can't remember.well!There was only such a little ink, Yang Hao shook his head regretfully, and was about to walk away, the window opened again with a "squeak", the girl poked her head out, and looked at Yang Hao with a pair of almond eyes. , suddenly asked: "Is this word made by the young master?" "Ah..." Yang Hao thought, "Whose word is this? I forgot too, it can't be said that it was made by a beggar named Hong Qi in the countryside of Bazhou..." The young girl said that it was really him who did it, she was overjoyed immediately, and quickly said: "My family wrongly injured the young master, I should wait for tea to make amends, how about asking young master to walk around to the courtyard, my family will immediately go to the door to meet you." "Yeah, Ximen Qing wants to act like a gentleman, and Xiao Pan will take the initiative to hook up, right?" Yang Hao joked to himself in his heart, shaking his head and said, "You don't have to be polite about some small things." "Who is being polite to you?" The girl said coquettishly, "Young master, please come to the front door. The slave family has something to entrust to you." "What's up?" "How do you talk upstairs and downstairs like this, please come to the mansion first, my son, can the slave family still eat you?" "This... alright." Yang Hao didn't know what was going on with her, so he was curious for a moment, but since he had nothing to do, he agreed. Seeing him walking towards the front of the house, the young girl couldn't help but said happily: "This young man's words are really wonderful, and maybe he can solve my lady's siege, hehe, when I want to doze off, someone brings a pillow. My lady's luck is really good." Okay..." He said and put down the window.
In an elegant residence in the house, the protagonist Liu Duo'er is making tea for guests. The furnishings in the room are elegant, with several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and there are small tables on both sides of the hall, where the host and the guest kneel and sit.There are several dishes of seasonal fruits on the table, and there is a small red clay stove at the door. The charcoal fire is booming, and the water on the stove is already boiling. There are no chairs in the room, only two short tatami mats below the buttocks. At this time, the Hu stool had just been introduced to the Central Plains, and there were not many families in the Central Plains who were willing to accept this new type of furniture. Many families, especially the aristocratic families, dismissed this non-traditional Chinese thing, and usually received guests by sitting on the ground. A short table serves tea.The beauty is like jade, and the wind blowing through the hall sends a burst of jasmine fragrance from outside the bamboo curtain, and the wind chimes in the corridor jingle, the mood and artistic conception are really different. The visitor was about sixty years old, with a clear face, three long beards, and meticulously combed gray hair. He seemed to be very energetic.He wore a light green hem embroidered with dark green cloud pattern gowns, an emerald yellow silk sash around his waist, his hair was pulled up in a bun, and a jade hairpin was inserted horizontally. In awe. If Yang Hao saw this old man, he would definitely know him. It was Lu Renjia who was once stunned by him in Guangyuan. The woman opposite is Liu Duo'er, the owner of the "Ru Xuefang", one of the four leaders of Kaifeng Jiaofang, famous for singing and dancing, she is only eighteen or nineteen years old.Wearing a 'Tian Shui Bi' clothes, the clothes are a gauze shirt with large sleeves and double breasts, a long skirt with a small waist and a low waist, and her hair is coiled into a 'shocked bun', with a golden step above it still flickering. Liu Duo'er is young and young, wearing a semi-topless long-sleeved blouse, a seductive gully appears on the white and tender Sai Xue's crisp breasts, sitting opposite, not only the emerald green bust inside is clearly visible, but also the two The skin of the jade arm is also faintly visible. The slow-tie skirt half-covers the chest, and the white jade man with cicada wings and robes.Although Lu Renjia was getting old, seeing such a beautiful woman, his eyes could not help but shine. This woman is indeed worthy of being one of the four leaders in Kaifeng. Judging by her appearance, she has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she is soft and charming.His smile is like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and his eyes are full of eyes, and he feels infinite amorous feelings rushing towards his face, which is really fascinating. "Mr. Ding'an, please use tea." Liu Duo'er served the tea with both hands, and handed it to Lu Renjia respectfully. Lu Renjia hurriedly raised her hand to take it, and with a vacant right hand, she smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite, Ai Qing." At this time, the word Aiqing was not exclusively used by the emperor. People with status and status also used this kind of affectionate name for women in brothels they knew, just like in ancient times, everyone could use the word "zhen" to call themselves.There is nothing wrong with Lu Renjia calling Liu Duo'er that way, but he did not visit Liu Duo'er today to ask Liu Lai, but was invited by Liu Duo'er to help her write lyrics and compose music. Hearing this, he felt slightly embarrassed. This girl has a beautiful complexion, and when she is slightly shy, her appearance is even more charming, so charming, it is hard to describe. The light in Lu Renjia's old eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Aiqing is worthy of being the leader of Kaifeng, she is really charming." Liu Duo'er's eyes drooped slightly, and she said with a slight smile: "Mr. Ding'an praised me absurdly, my concubine is poor and poor-looking, how could I deserve such a compliment from Mr. Liu Duo'er. I like to study calligraphy and poetry since I was a child, and today I invite Ding'an Mr. came to the door, I hope that Mr. will give more advice to my concubine in the future, and often give me a lot of words, I will be very grateful." However, Lu Renjia knew that this girl was now fighting for fame with Wu Wa, another leader of Kaifeng, and now she was defeated, so she found him on the head, and wanted to use his words to win the game, so she flicked her long beard, Haha laughed and said: "The old man likes to play with words and ink, and Aiqing is kind and generous, which is very gratifying. It would be a good thing if he and Aiqing can often recite poems and words. It's just..." Liu Duo'er understood, and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Ding'an, don't worry, if you get a good poem from Mr., I will be rewarded by myself. If you get a poem from Mr., my concubine will pay you five liang, how about it?" The price of a poem of five taels of silver is not low, but for Lu Renjia, who is a celebrity in the Central Plains, the price is not high either.Lu Renjia smiled and said: "Ai Qing, there is no shortage of money in the old man's family. It is not worth mentioning that this mere money is not needed. But... the leaders of the four big houses in Kaifeng often ask for words from famous people, and they always pay according to their talents and fame. If the old man's asking price is low, It's not very good-looking in terms of face." Liu Duo'er's price originally left him room for bargaining, upon hearing this, he said: "Then, what is the price for Mr. Ding'an's capital to polish his pen?" Lu Renjia stretched out an index finger: "Ten taels!" Liu Duo'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "So, that's okay." Lu Renjia smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "What the old man said...is gold." "What?" Liu Duo'er sat up straight in surprise. Lu Renjia's old eyes flicked slightly on her pink and tender breasts, and said with a smile: "But...the capital of the pen is actually not non-negotiable, it depends on what you want, Ai Qing..."
Yang Hao sent Mu Yu away and walked alone, along the Bianhe River to the vicinity of Killing Pig Alley.Along the way, I saw hundreds of boats vying to swim on the Bian River, with sails like clouds.Lake boats, saury boats, scorpion boats, anchor boats, big beach boats, boat boats, and flying boats are all kinds and have their own functions.Like a blood transfusion, the cloth from Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces, pearls and jade from Guangdong, clear tea from Sichuan, yellow fermented grains from Luoxia, dates from Anyi, tangerines from Jiangling, lacquer from Chen Xia, hemp from Qilu, ginger, osmanthus, and silk cloth, stuffed with soy sauce , rice, wheat and miscellaneous grains, imported into Tokyo one by one...

Lu Renjia hurriedly raised her hand to take it, and with a vacant right hand, she smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite, Ai Qing." At this time, the word Aiqing was not exclusively used by the emperor. People with status and status also used this kind of affectionate name for women in brothels they knew, just like in ancient times, everyone could use the word "zhen" to call themselves.There is nothing wrong with Lu Renjia calling Liu Duo'er that way, but he did not visit Liu Duo'er today to ask Liu Lai, but was invited by Liu Duo'er to help her write lyrics and compose music. Hearing this, he felt slightly embarrassed. This girl has a beautiful complexion, and when she is slightly shy, her appearance is even more charming, so charming, it is hard to describe. The light in Lu Renjia's old eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Aiqing is worthy of being the leader of Kaifeng, she is really charming." Liu Duo'er's eyes drooped slightly, and she said with a slight smile: "Mr. Ding'an praised me absurdly, my concubine is poor and poor-looking, how could I deserve such a compliment from Mr. Liu Duo'er. I like to study calligraphy and poetry since I was a child, and today I invite Ding'an Mr. came to the door, I hope that Mr. will give more advice to my concubine in the future, and often give me a lot of words, I will be very grateful." However, Lu Renjia knew that this girl was now fighting for fame with Wu Wa, another leader of Kaifeng, and now she was defeated, so she found him on the head, and wanted to use his words to win the game, so she flicked her long beard, Haha laughed and said: "The old man likes to play with words and ink, and Aiqing is kind and generous, which is very gratifying. It would be a good thing if he and Aiqing can often recite poems and words. It's just..." Liu Duo'er understood, and said with a sweet smile: "Mr. Ding'an, don't worry, if you get a good poem from Mr., I will be rewarded by myself. If you get a poem from Mr., my concubine will pay you five liang, how about it?" The price of a poem of five taels of silver is not low, but for Lu Renjia, who is a celebrity in the Central Plains, the price is not high either.Lu Renjia smiled and said: "Ai Qing, there is no shortage of money in the old man's family. It is not worth mentioning that this mere money is not needed. But... the leaders of the four big houses in Kaifeng often ask for words from famous people, and they always pay according to their talents and fame. If the old man's asking price is low, It's not very good-looking in terms of face." Liu Duo'er's price originally left him room for bargaining, upon hearing this, he said: "Then, what is the price for Mr. Ding'an's capital to polish his pen?" Lu Renjia stretched out an index finger: "Ten taels!" Liu Duo'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "So, that's okay." Lu Renjia smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "What the old man said...is gold." "What?" Liu Duo'er sat up straight in surprise. Lu Renjia's old eyes flicked slightly on her pink and tender breasts, and said with a smile: "But...the capital of the pen is actually not non-negotiable, it depends on what you want, Ai Qing..."
