Chapter 814 Expedition
After Jia Pingan got the result, he wanted to get out of here immediately, but he felt so... ruthless, so he walked around with Wei Qingyi.
"Why does Tsing Yi like being here?"
Jia Pingan felt that this girl was too lonely.
Wei Qingyi's beautiful eyebrows moved slightly, "It's not that I don't like the world of mortals, I also like to wander the streets and alleys in Chang'an City, whenever I see a deep alley with moss marks on the ground and walls, I feel joy."
"Looking for ghosts and exploring wins!"
Jia Pingan felt that this girl was getting farther and farther away from the world of mortals.
Wei Qingyi said calmly: "Mr. Wuyang is in a high position now, but he is still in business. I heard that someone said behind your back that you are shameless. The Minister of the Ministry of War personally went into battle to do business. It is extremely vulgar."
"Emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business started from Shang Yang, but why suppress business?"
Jia Pingan looked at her.
Wei Qingyi shook his head.
"There are several types of businessmen, one is production and the other is sales. What is produced is productive and constructive to the country. And sales are just changing hands and can't do anything for the country...but the latter is often huge. rich."
Why did the manufacturing industry continue to shrink in later generations?
Your manufacturing industry is not as good as any other line of business, and the money comes in earlier and faster.
"These merchants who resell are like money lenders, lending money to collect money, and eating intermediate interest. And the country has not increased anything because of this..."
"Both tea and ginseng wine are produced, understand?" Jia Pingan said with a smile: "The money these two businesses make every year from outside Datang is beyond your imagination."
I can export goods that make a lot of money, who dare to say that I am vulgar?
Wei Qingyi frowned slightly, "Mr. Wuyang is very knowledgeable, but I don't understand why you should look down on such resellers? At least they can communicate with you, for example, transporting goods that are not available in the south to the north..."
"The country can do this kind of thing, and the businessman can do it too, but the businessman can become hugely rich based on this..."
"A wealthy businessman is not a good businessman. They will covet power, ignore the law and the dignity of the country, and wish they could go to the temple to dictate the national policy..."
Wei Qingyi nodded, suddenly realized.
"It's rare to have money that doesn't expand."
Businessmen shouted that we want a market economy, come on, their market is a monopoly. Use monopoly to squeeze the wool of the country and the people. There is no country holding a brick and staring at them coldly. Sooner or later, these businessmen will regard human life and the earth as a business.
"Besides, the common people saw that those businessmen made a deal with just a few words, and they thought it was as simple as making money, so I also came to do business... This is not right!"
Idol making is prevalent in later generations, so countless boys and girls sharpen their heads and go this way. Very few succeed, and countless become peripheral.
There are also Internet celebrities... A group of people post on Weibo all day long and go live to attract attention.
—Who would not want to do something that can easily make a lot of money?
From the perspective of the country, this kind of atmosphere cannot be indulged.
Can there be no merchants?
cannot!
If there are no merchants, the country has to come forward to clear up the needs, which is too troublesome.
But such things cannot be encouraged. You can make money and make others jealous, but don’t think about other things... such as being an official, such as a high social status. That's why there is a decision to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.
Wei Qingyi and Jia Pingan broke up and walked slowly in Qujiang Pond.
A group of strong men rushed in, Wei Qingyi frowned slightly and avoided the road.
But this group of people paid no attention to her.
The big man headed by ripped off his clothes, Wei Qingyi clenched his fist and took a step back.
The big man patted his chest, "Yeah, you are so powerful, but you didn't accept him when you went to join the army today. Why?"
The big man next to him sighed: "Maybe my brother's chest hair is too long."
The big man slapped him and almost fell into the water, cursing: "That's Goryeo, I can't kill a few Goryeo **** myself, yeah, I'm uneasy in this life."
Wei Qingyi quietly returned to the practice workshop after they left.
"The army is about to march!"
The army has set off.
There are still some follow-ups. The guards in the imperial city also mobilized troops to join them. There was a lot of movement, and Chang'an City was shaken.
A group of young and old gathered together, squatting on the ground and talking nonsense.
The leader was an old man, and he said frothyly: "The last time the army attacked, it was said that half of Goryeo was destroyed in the First World War. This time, if Goryeo is still alive, yeah, I will go on a hunger strike."
"My lord, why is this?"
"Wait and see, it is said that the British Duke led the army, how many generals are there? If you can't destroy Korea, how can you make such a big battle?"
"That makes sense!"
"The majesty's opinion."
Wei Qingyi recognized this prince, and it is said that he was an official of the former Sui Dynasty. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he did not become an official. Instead, he raised his children at home and was happy.
The prince said triumphantly: "There is also that Duke Wuyang, who was very good at Koryo last time, and killed seven in and seven out. He also went this time, so it can be seen that His Majesty intends to destroy Koryo in one battle. Ji is gone."
"That's good!" An old man stood up tremblingly, and the kid next to him was probably his grandson, and he quickly supported him, "Ah, slow down."
The old man took a breath, "My lord, tell me... if Korea and Baekje are destroyed, the Tang Dynasty will have no rivals in Liaodong. Is this a prosperous age?"
Everyone looked at the prince with warm eyes.
The prince caressed his beard and said with a smile: "What is a prosperous age? The army is brave, able to resist foreign humiliation, and able to win battles; officials are clean and honest; emperors are wise; dignitaries are not extravagant; people are hardworking..."
Someone said: "The army of the Tang Dynasty is invincible, and most of the officials are clean. Since your majesty came to the throne, you have to look at things every day. You can be said to be wise. If you are rich and powerful, there are very few extravagant ones. As for the common people, we What are you talking about here, hurry up and do something."
Everyone dispersed in a rush, the prince stayed at the end, and Wei Qingyi looked at him from the side.
"If the former Sui Dynasty had this scene, the second generation would not have died. The Tang Dynasty... has a destiny after all!"
He glanced at Wei Qingyi, smiled slightly, and then staggered away.
Wei Qingyi returned to his residence, but his master Fan Ying was not there. He looked around and found that those who were eating were taken away.
Wei Qingyi went back to his room and just sat there in silence.
"Tsing Yi! Tsing Yi!"
Fan Ying came back, the wooden box on her back was filled with props to deceive people, she was holding a big goose in her hand, and said cheerfully: "That family is so generous, they said that the old man is very considerate in his deeds, and there is more time before he leaves." I gave it to a big goose... Later, I heard from the housekeeper that the big goose was so courageous that it even pecked at the master's concubine. "
Wei Qingyi went out to pick up the big goose, "It's so fat."
When they were on Zhongnan Mountain, they also raised some chickens and geese to improve their lives from time to time.
"Naturally fat, I turned around and I stewed it, put some good ingredients, tsk tsk! Just smelling the smell makes my mouth water. Another pot of wine, the gods will not change it!"
So for dinner, the master and apprentice had a full meal of goose meat.
Wei Qingyi washed the dishes, then took a walk in the yard to digest.
Go to bed later.
She fell asleep until she didn't know when, her hands that were closed together suddenly separated.
Wei Qingyi woke up slowly, got up and opened the door to go out.
Moonlight is like water, slowly flowing in the world.
She looked up, and there were countless stars in the sky. Xinghui swayed, the most in the Qujiang Pond next door.
Wei Qingyi quietly touched Qujiang Pond.
The gurgling water is like a piece of music. The night wind blows, and the personality blown is extraordinarily dusty.
She followed Xinghui all the way there, and still found that the most spilled was in that place.
She walked over, took off her cloth shoes, and put her white and tender bare feet into the water.
"Sure enough, it's extraordinarily cold."
She gently swayed her jade feet, leaned forward, rested her chin on her hands, and said in a low voice: "This must be luck."
The wind blew her hair, and when she looked sideways, she saw a full moon hanging in the sky.
"Mr. Wuyang, have a good journey."
In the middle of the night, a woman walked barefoot in Qujiang Pond, like an elf.
…
The next day.
Wei Wushuang and Su Ho got up early, one went to the front yard to order Cao Er to make breakfast quickly, and the other checked Jia Ping's luggage for the last time. Goodness, Jia Ping'an checked twice last night, so there might be something missing.
"Breakfast should be richer, and dry food ready?" Su Ho was very impatient.
Cao Er squatted there to light the fire, turned back and smiled and said, "Second Madam, don't worry, I haven't slept all night, and I made dry food earlier, enough for you to eat in Liaodong."
Soho went to see it, and it was all fried noodles.
"I added a lot of things to these fried noodles. It tastes delicious with water, and it's even more delicious when cooked." Cao Er was triumphant.
In the inner courtyard, the two children who were yawning were also called out.
"Brother, I still want to sleep."
DouDou rubbed his eyes, feeling aggrieved.
Jia Yu also wanted to sleep, but he remembered that today is the day when Aye goes to war, so he said, "Doudou cheer up, Aye is going to go to war later."
"Oh." DouDou also remembered, and hurriedly ran to Jia Ping'an's room.
"Aye! Aye!"
Jia Pingan came out of the room. He had already put on his armor and looked a little strange. Ah Fu was at his feet, probably knowing that Papa was going to travel far, so he hugged his thigh and yelled.
He stretched out his arms to pick up Doudou, and said with a smile, "Doudou has to be obedient at home and learn to take care of Auntie, okay?"
"good!"
DouDou looked very happy.
Wei Wushuang came over, "Husband, everything in the bag is ready."
Soho also came from the front yard.
"Husband."
It was still dark, Jia Pingan put down his bag, and held the hands of his two wives, "I'm afraid it will take a while to go, but I will come back with a letter, don't worry."
This time it is not just the attack on Goryeo, the entire Liaodong will be swept away, and it will take a long time.
But Jia Ping'an is confident that he will end the attack as soon as possible.
Jia Ping'an warned again: "Wu Shuang is pregnant, Su Ho should stop being naughty, and take care of family affairs."
This silly woman loves to cultivate all her heart, but she is not actually stupid, she is just lazy.
Su Ho nodded, "Don't worry, husband."
When eating breakfast later, the two children were still having fun, but after Jia Pingan got up and went outside...
"Aye!" Doudou rushed out crying, hugging Jia Ping'an's thigh, raised his head and begged with tears in his eyes: "Aye, don't go! I don't want Aye to go!"
Jia Ping'an thought that the old meeting would be better, but who would have thought that Jia Yu would cry more than Doudou. The two children each had one thigh, and Jia Pingan handed the burden to Xu Xiaoyu, hugged the two children, and wiped away the tears on their faces with his cheeks.
"Aye went to fight and will be back soon."
Wei Wushuang and Su He took the child down, and Jia Ping'an gently stroked Wei Wushuang's lower abdomen, "I owe you and this child, Wushuang, you have to have a good birth, if something is wrong, the medical officer Du He knows, you just send it He went to invite it. If it doesn’t work...someone will go to the palace and tell Sister.”
"Hmm!" Wei Wushuang's voice sounded a little crying.
He cupped his hands at Di Renjie, "Huaiying, after I leave, if there is any foreign affairs at home, I will rely on you."
Di Renjie cupped his hands, "Be safe and rest assured."
Jia Pingan got on his horse, looked back at his wife and children, nodded slightly, and rode away.
"Aye!"
The cry of the child was earth-shattering, and many people in the workshop were awakened.
"Who is it! Wicked!" a woman cursed.
"Shut up, it's Lord Wuyang who is going to fight!" the man scolded.
"so early?"
"Of course the army must be assembled early. Duke Wuyang has been away for a long time, and it is dangerous. His wife and children at home are crying..."
In the square, some people have already got up. The whole family stood outside the door, and when they saw Jia Pingan riding a horse, they all cupped their hands.
"The mighty Tang Dynasty!"
Wherever Jia Ping'an went, everyone bowed their hands.
"The mighty Tang Dynasty!"
This is a battle of revenge launched by Datang!
Much anticipated!
Since the former Sui Dynasty, the ambitious Goryeo has teamed up with Turkic, Mohe, Khitan and other tribes to continuously attack the Sui Dynasty in Liaodong, which can be called the number one enemy. However, Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Korea indirectly ruined the country, and many good men fell on the battlefield and fell in the ice and snow.
Many families in Chang'an City have relatives who were conscripted back then, which can be described as a deep-seated pain.
Now that the army is on the march, everyone is excited!
Jiang Rong had already guarded the door with the soldiers. For the first time, he didn't take a deep breath, and led the soldiers to open the door, and then everyone stood there with their hands tied.
"The mighty Tang Dynasty!"
Jia Pingan patted his chest, and with a bang, the armor creaked.
He rode his horse and rushed into Suzaku Avenue.
At this moment, there is only the sound of horseshoes on Suzaku Avenue.
The generals are rushing towards the imperial city on horseback.
Outside the imperial city, a red dress is eye-catching.
Jia Ping'an saw it, reined in the rein and dismounted, and walked slowly.
"Gao Yang!"
Gao Yang got off his horse, rushed over and hugged him tightly, "Husband!"
Jia Pingan also hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry, I'll write to you."
Gao Yang knows that the military law is strict, and he will be severely punished if he is late. She reluctantly gave Jia Pingan a hug.
This woman...Jia Pingan felt that her waist would be strangled by her.
"Bring the baby here."
The wet nurse stepped forward and handed over the baby.
Jia Pingan picked up the child, looked at it carefully by the light of the lantern, and leaned over to kiss his forehead.
The wet nurse takes the baby.
Gao Yang leaned over and said solemnly: "I wish my husband a speedy triumph."
"good!"
Entering the imperial city, Li Ji has already arrived.
"Director Jia, follow me."
Well!
Jia Ping'an was stunned.
Isn’t it the deputy chief executive?
The marshal of this battle is the prince Li Hong, which is also a common practice. In major military operations, the prince is the nominal commander, and the deputy commander performs the duties of the marshal.
Li Hong could only squat in the palace, studying hard every day, and had nothing to do with the war.
Li Ji glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "Liang Jianfang is ill, and he just reported his illness yesterday. This time he can't go to Liaodong. Besides, he recommended you."
"Mr. Liang!" Jia Ping'an was shocked.
This is definitely pretending to be sick!
A few days ago, Liang Jianfang was clamoring to compete with Gao Kan in the brothel, why did he suddenly get sick?
Old Liang...
Li Ji went in side by side with him, and Gao Kan was waiting in front of him.
This time the army is divided into three groups. Li Ji is in command of the Chinese army, Liang Jianfang... Now Jia Pingan is in command of the first route, and Gao Kan is in command of the first route.
"Brother."
Li Jingye winked at the side, "They said you recruited me."
The general manager naturally has the right to recruit his own army staff, Li Jingye said so...
Damn it, this is black box operation.
Li Ji didn't even look at his grandson, and said indifferently: "You think it's just Liang Jianfang?"
"Who else?"
Didn’t Liang Jianfang pretend to be sick and give way to me?
Li Ji said softly: "Without His Majesty's hint, how dare Liang Jianfang pretend to be sick...Do you think it's fun for the general to pretend to be sick before going out? Your Majesty can kill him!"
To pretend to be sick is to avoid going out, which is a felony.
Jia Pingan was stunned, "Your Majesty..."
Li Ji looked at him sideways, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be complacent. When the old man was your age, he was already the leader."
Jia Pingan smiled.
Gao Kan cupped his hands in shock, "Xiao Jia, congratulations."
"Thank you."
All the way into the palace.
Li Zhi was already waiting, with a horizontal knife, and beside him were the queen and the prince.
Li Ji and the three saluted.
With the armor on his body, he can only cross his hands as a gift.
"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen the Queen, I have seen Your Highness!"
Li Zhi looked at them, "I send you off."
Everyone turned around, Wu Mei waved, and Li Hong also waved.
This... the emperor is here!
Li Zhi turned a blind eye and strode forward.
Ahem, the back door is open!
Jia Pingan stepped forward, "Sister, Prince."
Li Hong said joyfully: "Uncle, I am the marshal alone!"
This unlucky boy...you marshal is just a fool.
"Good job!"
Jia Ping'an encouraged him, "Hao Mi's knowledge is good, he will continue to teach you after I leave."
Li Hong nodded.
"Sister, I'm going now."
Jia Pingan cupped his hands.
Wu Mei stretched out her hand suddenly, and Jia Ping'an habitually bowed her head.
She touched the top of Jia Ping'an's head, and said softly: "I watched you grow from a young boy back then to today. These are the results of your hard work. You really are promising."
Li Zhi turned around and happened to see this scene.
"Sister."
Jia Ping'an wanted to say that I would never have guessed that I would make it this far, but I was worried about being beaten.
Wu Mei smiled and said: "You just go, I will take care of my wife and children at home."
"yes."
Jia Pingan saluted solemnly, turned around and left.
He trotted all the way to catch up.
Li Zhi asked suddenly: "What did the prince say?"
Well!
"His Royal Highness said that he is already a marshal, so he is very happy."
Li Zhi couldn't help but smile, "What did the queen tell you?"
"The queen said that I can rest assured that she will take care of me at home."
Li Zhi nodded and said nothing more.
The cavalry lined up in the imperial city, hearing that the emperor would come to review, all of them held their heads high.
The emperor is here.
Someone sent the horses, the emperor got on the horses, Li Ji and the other three rode their horses and followed behind.
Boom!
Drumming at Sixth Street marks the beginning of a day in Chang'an City.
The sound of drums echoed in Chang'an City.
The emperor came to the front of the array.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the drums came, and the drums that I was used to hearing in the past actually carried a powerful meaning.
Li Zhi nodded slightly as he looked at these tigers.
Clang!
The emperor drew his sword and held it in front of him.
"Da Tang Wan Sheng!"
Immediately there was a shout like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
"Da Tang Wan Sheng!"
