Chapter 1294: Chang'an deceased

  Chapter 1294 Chang'an old man

  Chang'an.

  Pingkangfang Qin Mansion.

  Qin Lang was chatting with an old friend. During the New Year's Eve, countless people wanted to come to the house to pay New Year's greetings, but Qin Lang declined the visitors. After all, Chang'an is Xijing. Although after the capital was moved to Luoyang, the top nobles and wealthy families all moved to Luoyang, but those who stayed in Chang'an were old men who retired for retirement, or the **** offshoots of those families.

   But after all, this is Chang'an, and it is still the only existence that Datang can drive alongside the eastern capital Luoyang.

  Other places such as Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jiaozhou, Dengzhou, although wealthy, their political status is far inferior to Chang'an.

  Wei Chang is also very old, about to be seventy.

It is said that life at seventy is rare since ancient times, but judging by Wei Chang's appearance, it is estimated that there will be no problem in living another twenty years. At this age, the black hair is more than half, the skin is very good, there are no age spots, and even sitting In front of Qin Lang, he didn't drink any tea, but directly drank.

Compared to Wei Chang, who is immortal, it is Liu Jiu, who used to be an indomitable man, but now he is emaciated, with a haggard face, coughing all the time, as if he would die when he followed him, his good brother Liu San is a little bit worse Better, but also holding a cup of tea with goji berries.

  The Zhenfu Division was abolished, and the real backbone of the Zhenfu Division also retreated.

Wei Chang took root in Chang'an, and everyone honored him as Wei Shuai. No one in Chang'an had a wider network than him. He was instructed by Qin Lang back then, and he got involved in the butchery in Chang'an early on. Over the past twenty years, although Wei Chang did not He seldom invests in business with Qin Lang, but his core business is different, breeding and slaughtering.

   Among them, pig farming is the main breeding.

   Don't underestimate this business, now the Wei family is the largest pork supplier in the two capitals, with an annual profit of over 100,000 guan. In addition to various other investment in shares and money, the Wei family is also a local rich man.

  There is a false marquis hanging on his body, who still remembers that this was just a slave of the Yuwenshu family?

   "I've already made arrangements. Chang'an will be handed over to the boss, Luoyang will be handed over to the second child, and the third child will be left to coordinate the sales in various places, and then everyone else will go south with me."

  Qin Lang looked at Wei Chang, "Are you really willing to leave Chang'an?"

   Wei Chang took a sip of his wine, and his face turned red again.

   "It's a bit reluctant. I was born in Chang'an. My father is a slave of the Yuwen family, and my mother is also a slave. Even counting up to eight generations, they are all slaves of the Yuwen family."

Qin Lang smiled, "The ancestor of the Yuwenshu family was just a servant of the Yuwentai family in the early years, but didn't Yuwenshu also become the four nobles of the Sui Dynasty? Even his sons became the princesses of the Sui Dynasty and later became the princesses of the Tang Dynasty. The prime minister, a dandy with no morals but also killed Yang Guang himself and became the emperor of Daxu."

Lao Wei recalled his life. He was born as a slave of Yuwenshu’s family, a handyman, a groom, and a follower. Later, he was arranged by Yuwenshu to be a bad commander in Chang’an County. After nine years of being a bad commander, he was arranged to join the Xiaoguo Army , worked for another nine years, and became a sixth-rank captain. Then Emperor Xu Yuwenhuaji was killed. He fled back to Chang'an in Guanzhong, resumed his old job, and became a bad commander of Datang.

   Then he followed Qin Lang into the Zhenfu Division, where he worked for more than 20 years.

  From a lowly slave to a marquis with a net worth of millions, it was indeed beyond his imagination when he was young.

"The greatest luck in my life was meeting my friend Sanlang! Now that I am old, I want to stay with my old friends even more. The old boy in my family also wrote to me all the time, saying, Lu Song is good, and he said the same thing as Hua'er. I have also wanted to go to Luzon for a long time.”

Very early on, Wei Chang arranged for his concubine to follow Qin Lang to Wu'an to enshrine the land. After many years of operation, now all the concubines have spread their branches there. Qin Lang opened up Lu Song, and Wei Chang also arranged for it immediately. The descendants passed.

  Old Wei made up his mind a long time ago that he will be tied to Qin Lang and the Qin family for the rest of his life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

  Up to now, he has become more determined to shift his focus to the south. Although the eldest son will stay in Chang'an, the second son is also arranged in Luoyang, and even the third son is arranged to go to Yangzhou. The so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, when the family grows, one must always consider the long-term.

  The two capitals are prosperous, and they are also the political center. Lao Wei thinks that it is still impossible to leave the center of the world, and Yangzhou is prosperous in business and economics, so it is natural to make arrangements early. As for South of the Five Ridges and even overseas, Old Wei is looking at the long-term. Although it is a little bit off now, there are more opportunities now, not to mention that he thinks the same as Qin Lang, thinking that it is necessary to keep an insurance for Old Wei's family.

  The ancestors of the Yuwenshu family were nothing more than slaves of the Yuwentai family. After several generations, they finally became the four nobles in the Sui Dynasty.

  Later, after Yu Wenhua and his brothers killed the king, the Great Xu Kingdom was about to collapse. Yu Wenhua immediately sent his second brother, Yuwen Shiji, to go to Guanzhong to join Li Yuan, so as to leave a way for the Yuwen family to retreat.

In fact, such things can be found everywhere, just like Li Yuan's father, Li Yan, who was not the eldest son of Li Hu at that time, was able to inherit the title of the Li family later on. After He Bayue's death, Li Hu did not support Yu Wentai as the new head of the Guanlong Group, but went to Kanto to find He Bayue's brother to take charge of the situation.

It’s just that He Bayue’s brothers disagreed. Li Hu later returned to Luoyang to serve in the court, and then returned to Guanzhong, but his eldest son Li Yanbo stayed in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and his second son Li Zhen died in battle with Li Hu in his early years. Therefore, in the end the title fell to the head of the youngest Li Zong.

  When the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into internal struggles between the Eastern and Western Weis, in fact, many famous families at that time bet on both sides. The Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms period was even more extreme.

Although it is a world of unification and prosperity, he is prepared for danger in times of peace. People of Lao Wei's background have a stronger sense of crisis. He has been arranging for his sons to go out and set up a separate family over the years, and it is different from the division of ordinary big families. The arrangement is far away. Set up a household in some places, such as Yangzhou, Lingnan, etc.

   Now Lao Wei has decided that, in addition to Liangjing, Yangzhou, and Wu'an, he will go to Luzon to build another one.

  No matter how the world changes in the future, the Wei family can guarantee the continuation.

   "I heard that there is no snow in Luzon, so I just went to recuperate." Liu Jiu said.

  Qin Lang knew that Liu Jiu had suffered many injuries in his early years, so his health was not very good in his later years. Moreover, this guy was fond of drinking and overeating, so he got gout, and his joints were deformed early.

   "The beaches in Luzon are indeed suitable for vacation, but when you get there, you have to quit alcohol and seafood, otherwise your gout will only get worse."

  Liu Sanze said, "Where Brother Nine is going, I will go too."

  Liu Jiu was the crown prince back then, and his father was also a serious county king in the Tang Dynasty. After Liu Jiu was rescued from the death row by Qin Lang, he was on the right track. For many years, he became a marquis.

   But the eldest brother's demeanor is not lost, especially when he was in the branch of Fusi in Bingzhou Township, he was very majestic in the frontier fortress. Unlike Wei Chang's business of raising pigs and slaughtering pigs, Liu Jiu mainly engaged in fur processing in the frontier. He has always cooperated with the Qin family to buy fur from the grasslands, make leather products or process it into wool, etc. Because the frontier is peaceful, So this business is very profitable.

  Liu San also did this, anyway, all of them are worth millions.

   "I have ridden a horse all my life, but now I can't ride a horse anymore, but I want to sail into the sea with Saburo and ride the wind and waves!" Liu Jiu laughed.

   "Isn't it good to be a hero?"

"Hey, to be a hero is the yearning for when you are in your twenties and thirties. Now that you are old, what kind of hero do you still want to be? Besides, the most famous name in the world today is Song Gongming and Song Jiang, the timely rain of the Liangshan Mountains. That is the first-class unrivaled hero, the name is famous, and everyone in the three mountains, five lakes and four seas knows everyone, and we are already old and immortal."

Qin Lang smiled, "Don't mock Song Fugui like that, you don't know what background he has? A **** I unintentionally placed back then has been taken care of by you guys for many years to have such a good climate, without you Covered, I don’t know how many times I have been reincarnated.”

   Several people laughed.

  Song Jiang is indeed the most famous in the Jianghu nowadays, but in front of these few people, he is nothing.

  Wei Chang didn't mention him, and said with a smile, "I heard that General Su destroyed Baekje a few years ago. This time, the imperial court specially named him the General of the Cong Erpin Town Army. General Su is really majestic."

But Liu Jiu chuckled, "I think that when we went to Youzhou with Sanlang, Su Dingfang was still farming at home. If it weren't for Sanlang, how could Su Dingfang be as powerful as he is today? The general of the town army is just a student of Sanlang. Those are our juniors."

  Su Dingfang is Qin Lang's protégé, everyone knows it, but after all, he has been the guard of the Eastern Palace in his early years, and he has a good relationship with Chengqian. Besides, this man is extremely capable of fighting, and some people even commented that after Qin Lang, he is the most capable of fighting in the court.

  He attacked Baekje with 100,000 troops by water, and played one classic battle after another against Baekje, which can be called a textbook of Habayashi Palace.

  But Su Dingfang is not only good at fighting, he is also very good at politics now.

   also know to engage in political gifts.

   Deliberately rushed to launch the final decisive battle before the New Year's change, and broke through the old capital of Baekje, Woongjin and the new capital Sibi in one fell swoop. Previously, Su Dingfang unexpectedly landed at the mouth of the Han River, and first killed Baekje's army that was confronting Silla at Namhan Mountain.

   Then from Tangjin Bay to the upper reaches of the Xiongjin River.

  Su Dingfang deliberately besieged the city to fight for aid, forcing the King of Baekje to summon all the troops from all over the country to King Jingqin.

   Years ago, Su Dingfang finally ended the confrontation and began a decisive battle. Under the city of Xiongjin, Su Dingfang wiped out more than ten thousand enemies, blasted the city wall of Xiongjin with gunpowder, took Xiongjin quickly, and then sent his troops south to join forces with the South Route Army under the city of Sibi.

  The previous confrontation was nothing but Su Dingfang's deliberate camouflage to lure the enemy to show weakness. It was originally to annihilate the main force of Baekje at one time, and avoid going back to attack every city and pool.

  Below the city of Sibi, Baekje came to fight all over the country, but the one killed by Su Dingfang was the same. The king of Baekje died directly on the spot, and was bombarded to death by the Tang army's magical thunderbolt cannon.

  The Baekje army collapsed, and the Tang army broke through the city.
