Borrow the day to change the day

Datong Mansion in Shanxi is also one of the important towns in the Nine Borders, and it is a relatively prosperous mansion in Shanxi.

On an official road more than ten miles outside Datong Mansion, dozens of carts are gathering.

It can be seen that the car is full of food, and many guys are busy checking and fixing it.

At the front of the convoy were a few people in fur coats, waiting for the food team from the last Zhuangzi to come and join them.

They are the stewards of Lao Cai, a landlord in a nearby village. They made an appointment to transport grain to Zhangjiakou today. They plan to sell the grain to regular customers and then sell some goods back. Just like this, they can earn a lot of money.

Just when they were getting impatient, a man who was dressed similarly to these people came from behind the convoy, cupped his hands and said to them, "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting so long, please drink a glass of apology when we get to the end of the road. "

These people heard his polite words, and their anger disappeared. They talked to each other and planned to go on the road.

At this moment, a car came in front, and the person sitting on the side of the handlebar saw the person who was late just now, and quickly ordered the handlebar to drive the car to these people, and then jumped down with a blushing face. , and shouted excitedly at the man: "Uncle Cai, long time no see."

The rich uncle turned his head and saw that he recognized Wang Yan who had borrowed money from the master to run a business in the village. He looked down on Wang Yan a little bit in his heart, snorted, and was about to turn around to chat with his companions when suddenly his mind flashed The car behind Wang Yan was startled, and looked at Wang Yan again and said, "Why, this car is yours? Got rich?" [

Wang Yan smiled a little embarrassedly, and then replied: "Uncle Cai, thanks to your kind words, I was able to borrow the capital. I made a little money every time. No, I bought something, and my mother must like it."

In fact, Uncle Cai didn't speak for him at all, but when he took out the money, he habitually praised himself for his achievements.

He approached the car hired by Wang Yan, looked it over, and said a little surprised: "You only have seven taels of money, how can you earn so much?"

"No, no, it's a long story. Something big happened in Zhangjiakou. I happened to bump into it and made some money. Then I sold some things and came back and made some more money." Wang Yan explained modestly after hearing this.

"Oh, what happened to Zhangjiakou?" Uncle Cai asked quickly after hearing this.His companions were also chatting at this time, and they all gathered to listen to gossip.

Wang Yan was a little excited when he saw a group of masters approaching, and explained in a restrained manner: "After I arrived in Zhangjiakou, I happened to meet that the imperial court sent the Marquis of Zhongxing over there, and there was a conflict with the Mongols. At that time, I had to make a bet, and I won. I paid 50 taels of silver."

"Why, is Marquis Zhongxing a stupefied young man? He thinks he is a marquis and clashed with the Mongols. Isn't he afraid that the Mongols will shut down the horse market?" Uncle Cai commented, shaking his head slightly.It seems that he, Uncle Cai, is much better at doing things for people than that Zhongxing Hou.

"No, no." When Wang Yan heard that Uncle Cai was disrespectful to Zhongxinghou's language, he quickly explained while shaking his hands, "Zhongxinghou is not a stunned man, he is a good official, the best official I have ever met. .”

Immediately there was a long sound of "Hey" around Wang Yan, and not many people believed Wang Yan's words.These days, there are fewer good officials than rare ones, and all the officials want to make money from their own arms.

Seeing the appearance of these people around, Wang Yan became a little anxious, and quickly said: "Marquis Zhongxing said that the officials of Ming Dynasty should make decisions for the people of Ming Dynasty. He taught the Mongols a lesson for this, and in front of several Hundreds of Mongols beat their buttocks in the face and almost killed them."

"What? The Mongols haven't rebelled yet?" These butlers have all been to Zhangjiakou, and they know the arrogance of the Mongols. They were all surprised when they heard Wang Yan's words.This what Zhongxing Hou not only beat the Mongols, but also beat them in front of hundreds of Mongols. Isn't this more arrogant than the Mongols?

Seeing their surprise, Wang Yan was a little proud, raised his head slightly and said, "No, the Mongols are obedient to the Marquis of Zhongxing. Later, I heard that among the Mongols there were leaders of the Sizi Tribe, as well as Lin Danhan's sons are all well-behaved in front of Zhongxinghou."

The people around them were even more surprised. This was beyond their understanding of the Mongols and Ming officials.Uncle Cai first asked his doubts: "Then what kind of person is Zhongxing Hou, so powerful?"

"That's right. Later, it was spread in Zhangjiakou. During the Battle of Gyeonggi, the Marquis of Zhongxing dared to take eight hundred people to attack Qingshui Mingyue Pass in Jianlu's hands, and blocked the eight thousand Jianlu in the pass. Can you Is it powerful?" When Wang Yan said this, his expression was a bit exaggerated, but the news was indeed more surprising than the previous fight against the Mongols.

The old financial stewards around all opened their mouths wide, forming an "o" shape.In their impression, Jianlu is the existence of the enemy. [

It is said that several military towns dispatched troops to Liaodong to fight against Jian captives, and many soldiers escaped.They would rather be thieves than face Jianlu, because that would be the end of death.

Communication was not very developed in ancient times, and the details of the great victory in Gyeonggi did not reach Datong Prefecture at this time.Therefore, these people were really shocked when they heard this specific news for the first time.

It took a long time for the uncle Cai to say: "This Marquis Zhongxing is really bold, no wonder he is not afraid of mere Mongols."

Another butler also interjected: "Marquis Zhongxing dared to fight against eight thousand Jian captives with eight hundred minzhuang, so he must have dared to fight against the Mongols alone?"

After he finished speaking, he even showed his companion a thumbs up. This Hou Zhongxing was really bold.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan shook his head and said: "No, the Zhangjiakou army was under martial law at that time, and Marquis Zhongxing was accompanied by the army."

This Wang Yan's speech was too tortuous, one news broke another news, and the audience couldn't react, and finally Uncle Cai asked: "What's the matter, why Zhangjiakou has to use the army to martial law, this has never happened before! "

Wang Yan revealed an angry look on his face and said: "There are a group of bastards in Zhangjiakou, who secretly co-operated with the Jian captives, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and were taken by the soldiers led by the Marquis Zhongxing."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet, no one spoke, and the audience's heads fell into a state of shutdown again.

Every time Wang Yan said things that surprised them, especially this thing, which they were still very familiar with, surprised them even more.

It was Uncle Cai who asked: "One pot? Does it mean that the eight major Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou are all gone, and Fan Yongdou is also gone?"

Who in Zhangjiakou is doing Jianlu's business? Those who have been to Zhangjiakou all know.Those officials in the imperial court actually knew about it, but they were bored with getting rich and didn't care about it at all. They didn't expect to be taken over by the same pot this time, which is really surprising!

"Yes, they were all arrested." Wang Yan nodded affirmatively.

Then he saw the group of people around him looking at each other, dumbfounded, a little strange, when he looked up and saw the long convoy, he suddenly realized, and quickly persuaded: "Mr. Selling grain to Fan Yongdou? I heard that he has been harvesting grain for Jianlu before. Don’t do such a black-hearted business!”

Uncle Cai said angrily: "What are you doing, everyone has been arrested!"

A group of people sighed, busy for nothing, turned their heads to look at the long convoy, and sighed again, one of them said: "Then who will sell the food to?"

Looking at the grain, Wang Yan suddenly said in his heart, "Isn't there a shortage of grain in Shaanxi? You can sell it to Shaanxi!"

Wang Yan went to Zhangjiakou once and made a fortune. His social status is not the same as before. Therefore, Uncle Cai raised Wang Yan's level in his heart and explained to him: "Shaanxi is short of food, but it is not safe. There are thieves all over the place, I am afraid they will be robbed by them while still on the road, not to mention asking for money, life is not a problem."

"Yeah, when I went to Zhangjiakou before, Fan Yongdou paid a high price, and he could sell it for a good price, and he could buy some more goods. This time, he could make a lot of money. With so many benefits, who would think Let's go to Shaanxi!" A housekeeper also explained to Wang Yan after Uncle Cai finished speaking.

"Then, you can ask the government to escort them. Shaanxi is short of food. They should be happy for you to transport food there?" Wang Yan gave them another idea.

"Childish, please escort the government, that's the one who plucks the geese, who dares!" After a while, Uncle Cai began to lecture Wang Yan on his own identity.

Suddenly, a housekeeper pointed to the distance and exclaimed: "There is an army coming, move the car quickly."
