Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 518 Rebellion ([-])

As the year draws to a close, it has ushered in the rare good weather since the beginning of winter.

It's just that the winter is desolate, and the insects and butterflies that were flying and chirping have completely disappeared.There is no chirping of birds and insects, no hustle and bustle of life, and the mountains and fields are all deserted.Withered trees, only thin branches poked into the air, showing stubbornness.The grass on the ground is dry, the grass is falling, and it is covered with snow. All the vitality and splendor have faded away.The snow that fell a few days ago has not yet melted. The entire Lishan Mountain is covered with jade and covered with silver. Between the snow-white houses and the ground in Zhuangzi, there are still snowmen built by children, and there are furry trees hanging from the trees. snow strips and fluffy snowballs.The red plum is proud of the snow, the green pines are tall and straight, standing in the white world.

The sun shines on the snow, the snow reflects the sun, and the sky and the earth are integrated.

Standing on the top of the mountain, white snow covers the ridge, and watching the clouds and mists flow under my feet, there is a kind of airiness that I want to ride the wind back home.

Just after the arrival of Chenshi, the various roads leading to Lishan gradually flowed and became lively.

One after another, horses and carriages gradually converged into a stream, heading towards the top of the mountain.

"Hey, isn't this brother Zhou from Huzhou? Are you also interested to join in the fun?"

In a carriage sat an old man with a round face and a fat belly. He was pulling the curtain of the car and thinking about how far to go. Suddenly, a group of knights ran past the carriage. The old man saw the man on the horse. shouted aloud.

When the knight heard the words, he slowed down the horse a little, looked back, and said with a smile, "Hehe, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Wang of Lantian County, I'm so lucky to meet! This Fang Erlang is doing things with great fanfare and selling tickets, my brother is really curious. Don't worry, this is not the last batch of the year before yesterday, take advantage of this gap to take a look, and return to my hometown in Huzhou for the New Year tomorrow."

The fares sold by Fang Jun this time have already exceeded the range of half of the common people, and most of the ticket buyers are rich businessmen from all over the world.First of all, these people have strong economic ability, and secondly, it is also due to Fang Jun's extraordinary influence among merchants. Anyone who does business in this level can not transfer goods at Fangjiawan Wharf?The third, naturally, is also in the mind of being lucky enough to see Tianyan.

Businessmen communicate with each other, even if they cross-border and cross-border, there are many mutual acquaintances.

Immediately, old knight Zhou looked at shopkeeper Wang sitting in the carriage, and said with a smile, "Although the road in Mount Li is flat, it is always a mountain road. You're going to suffer on this journey. It's better to ride a horse like this little brother. Take a look at the snow scene of Mount Li along the way, and the speed is much faster."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? But time is not forgiving, how can I be able to ride a fast horse when I am old and my body shape? I happened to meet my brother, why don't you come to the old man's car and have a drink? Let’s chat and chat about your lake pen by the way.”

When Brother Zhou heard the words, he was immediately overjoyed: "It's just what you want, I don't dare to listen to you!"

Immediately, he jumped off the horse's back neatly and got into the carriage of the shopkeeper Wang, while his entourage continued to ride the horse, followed behind the carriage, and slowly advanced to the top of the mountain.

Since the beginning of the pre-Qin period, Xuanbi has been the favorite of literati and writers, but in the past two years, as Huzhou's Huzhou has entered Guanzhong through the commercial routes extending in all directions, it has gradually been sought after by Chang'an literati, and its sales have risen again and again.

Brother Zhou never thought that a trip to Lishan on a whim would be able to open up a channel for the family, which is really a pleasant surprise. You must know that this shopkeeper Wang is a famous businessman in Guan, and his family can also be related to the royal family. According to the relationship, the shops are all over the counties in Guanzhong.

Along the way, Brother Zhou also saw many ordinary people, who brought their families and brought their mouths, and they were beaming as if they were going to a temple fair. But it’s not low, I think it’s to prevent too many people going up the mountain and cause chaos, how come there are still so many people?”

Shopkeeper Wang moved his plump body like a mountain in the carriage, changed to a comfortable position, and took out a wooden jug containing tea from a drawer on the wall of the car.Pick out some with a teaspoon and put it in a small teapot made of purple sand, then pick up the small kettle on a charcoal stove next to it, and pour boiling water into the teapot.

In an instant, a faint scent of tea permeated the carriage.

Brother Zhou stretched his nose and sniffed, and praised: "Longjing of the top grade, my brother is very elegant."

Shopkeeper Wang waited for the tea leaves to spread out and distributed tea for Brother Zhou, and said a little proudly: "The old man Yue's family has some relatives with the steward in Fang Erlang Zhuangzi. , I usually don't want to drink it. This high-grade Longjing tea, not to mention how expensive it is, the output alone is a headache, too little!"

In today's market, Longjing tea has long been the first-class tea as a tribute tea.People are chasing after it, and gradually they have abandoned the previous way of making tea and pursued the method of citing this kind of tea.

Brother Zhou smiled and said, "If my brother likes it, my younger brother can get a little bit of it. When I come back from my hometown after the new year, I will bring a few taels to my brother."

Zhou's family is a wealthy businessman in Huzhou, only one foot away from Hangzhou, and businessmen from the two places have close contacts.Although this Longjing tea is expensive, the locals always have a way to buy it from Fangjia.Besides, with the rise of tea in Longjing, the planting of tea trees near Hangzhou has become popular, and bamboo shoots like Dafo Longjing, Qiantang Longjing, Yuezhou Longjing, etc. have sprung up after the rain. It is probably due to the climate and geology. The quality is not bad, but it is difficult. A threat to Fang's Longjing tea.

Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed and said, "Then it's my brother's blessing? To be honest, brother, I have lived for most of my life, and now I only have a hobby like tea!"

Between the conversations, one deliberately made friends, the other deliberately attracted, and naturally quickly got close.

Shopkeeper Wang replied to Brother Zhou's previous question: "I don't know what's going on, but it has been rumored in the market recently that Fang Erlang's super kongming lantern can not only fly people up, but even go straight up to the sky to contact the immortals in the heavens. , Isn't that more and more people coming, even if there is no ticket to see it up close, Fang Erlang can't block the entire mountain, can't everyone see it from a distance?"

Brother Zhou sighed and said, "The villager is stupid. Even if Fang Erlang's Kongming lantern can really fly with people, it's just like a bird. What does it have to do with immortals? It's really inexplicable."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled, the people were ignorant, and they believed what they preached from time to time?
Looking out from the open car curtain, I don't know when, groups of people happily carried up the mountain, the crowd was like ants, and there was a lot of noise along the way.

Shopkeeper Wang had seen the world before, he frowned as he watched, his heart skipped a few beats, and he always felt a little uneasy.

Don't you want to do anything?

*****
Fang Jun's face was gloomy.

He did all kinds of calculations, and he didn't calculate that even though he had made a ticket sale, he still couldn't keep ordinary people under Lishan.

Nowadays, all the roads up the mountain are overcrowded, and the people drag their families and their families to Lishan to wait to see the scene of "flying to the sky and being in the company of the immortals".

Not surprisingly, at least 2 people will gather on the top of Mount Li by then!

The slightest accident will lead to an uncontrollable situation.

But Hou Junji and Changsun Chong sitting in front of him didn't care...

Fang Jun thought about it and had to say: "The two of you are responsible for your Majesty's safety. At this moment, more and more people are going up the mountain. What if something goes wrong?"

Hou Junji waved his hands with a look of disdain: "Young people, you just can't hold your breath! It's just some stupid couples who want to join in the fun, what's the big deal? The old man's left guard camp has already arrived for most of them. There are also Cheng Yaojin's Zuo Wuwei and the eldest grandson's concubine's magic camp, plus His Majesty's close-fitting hundred cavalry, so many guards, there will be no trouble!"

Changsun Chong has always had a gloomy face, ignoring Fang Jun...

On the other hand, King Wei Li Tai said carelessly: "Fang Er, you are just timid, just a few ordinary people. Even if there is a riot, you will be frightened and obedient after being reprimanded, so what's the point of worrying about it? Don't worry about your own worries, and rush you to the ground. That hot air balloon is the real thing, if you can't fly by then, this king will suffer!"

Fang Jun felt annoyed in his heart and stared at Li Tai angrily.
