1. Dibao Mao exorcise evil spirits

The general rode alone on a horse, and fought in Yuxi.

However, Death has existed since ancient times, and the brave generals are shocked and there is no one today.

In history, we are competing for some writing, and in the singing, dancing and laughing, we sacrifice our lives.

Who knew that if I was also a suicide, I would not be able to kill the king.

—————————Du Mu's "Long Sentences" by Zhao Zongjun, the King of Qingzhou, died of an arrow while fighting Dangxiang"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the same time, under the Xincheng Public Hall, a Xuanxi merchant named Wang Zifu came to visit him with a caravan.

Gao Yue was very enthusiastic and brought officials from all over the county, all walks of life to greet Prince Fu himself.

The prince was not flattered and said, "Qu Ming Mansion!", because the status of merchants was relatively low at this time.

But Gao Yue didn't think so. Before that, he and Xiao Yi knew that the prince Fu was one of the most popular tea merchants in Xuanshe Observation. He purchased a large number of tea from the tea garden every year and was also a "big merchant tax dealer" ranked among the local military governments. Now he is willing to come to the distant western fronts in person. In addition to Xiao Yi's instigation, it is more profitable here.

As Gao Yue said to the caravans who came to replenish the army, in fact, the transportation routes here in Jingzhou are actually a hub and are well-connected. There is great potential for trade here, but most merchants do not have the vision and courage after all, but Wang Zifu has it.

This is also the first big businessman to come to Baili New City. How could Gao Yue not pay attention to it or welcome it?

At this moment, Liu Deshi brought out a robe with pure white wool. This was bought by Gao Yue for twenty cents of money from Jingzhou. Then, in the panic refusal of Prince Fu, Gao Yue drowned this white robe on this person without saying a word. "The western front is cold, and I don't pay attention to my body."

Then in the middle hall, Gao Yue personally received Wang Zifu and other merchants accompanying him, Liu Pi, Liu De's room and important officials, "Is this white fence still warm?" Gao Yue deliberately asked Wang Zifu loudly.

"Warm, warm." Prince Fu answered quickly.

Then Gao Yue sighed, "We in Jingyuan have many treasures like this Baifu. The difficulty is that no merchants come here to shoot profits."

"That's because they don't have any vision."

"Zi Fu's words are so correct!" Gao Yue smiled, and then he began to enter the mode of selling melons by Wang Po. "Zi Fu came from Xuanshe this time, and then went to Yangzhou along Bian, Song to Dongdu Prefecture, then into Sanmenxia, ​​Shanzhou and Jingzhao, and then from Binzhou to here. This route takes more water routes, which eliminates the dangers of Sanmenxia (Prince Fu was wearing a white fence, so warm that he was sweating but it was difficult to take off, so he even said yes, yes, in fact, Sanmenxia is simply a gate of hell. They left the boats and changed the road along the coastal lane). The rest can be said to be smooth - in the future, several yamen can stay in Xincheng to do business, and I have a quarter of the money for the residence!"

When Lingtai Ling said this, Wang Zifu also understood that selling tea here was the best deal: the generals and the generals of Jingyuan were able to buy tea, of course, this was still a small head. Xifan, Dangxiang and Uighur were the big heads. These monks usually eat more meat, cheese and ghee, which could easily accumulate food and hard to eliminate. They had to drink tea to calm down, so the demand for tea was particularly high. Jingzhou just faced three places. In addition, tea products are light and easy to transport. If they can be bigger here, they really have a future.

"This tax?" After all, Wang Zifu was a businessman. He took the opportunity to complain to Gao Yue, saying that he had transported tea from the mainland to the western frontier. There were "fields" or "dams" set up by governments or towns everywhere in Jianghuai, and the "dams" were drawn for passing goods (when Liu Yan was in charge of the power, he had dismissed the privately established dams in various places in Jianghuai and replaced them with the commander of the salt and iron envoy. After Liu Yan was dismissed, the privately established dams in various parts of Jianghuai emerged like mushrooms after a rain). The longer the journey, the greater the cost.

Gao Yue was very happy and said that he might as well list them all. We can estimate the price of tea, and the cost is all there. In addition, if you hold my document in the future, you will not need any tax when you come to Jingzhou.

So Gao Yue and Wang Zifu reached an agreement that the other party was willing to transport Xuan She tea every year, including mobilizing the stock in Chang'an City residence and coming to Jingzhou for sale. The price of tea per bucket is estimated to be 70 cents higher than the price in Jingzhao area. Among them, the county party where Gao Yue is located has 25 cents for the profit, while the prince Fu is 45 cents.

This time, Prince Fu had already brought some tea and was ready to sell it on the ruins of Lingtai Old City when it arrived regularly next time.

Today, Gao Yue's mood improved again. After two yamen seats were over, he returned to his private house in the back building. He saw Zhihui standing in the yard, waving a whisk-like thing in his hand, and muttering something. Wei Tuotian grew up with his mouth, squatting on the horse-mounted stone by the door, staring blankly, not sure why.

Gao Yue couldn't help but find it funny and asked what it was.

Zhihui replied seriously: "This is for warding off evil spirits."

Gao Yue looked closely and felt that the color of the animal hair used on Zhihui's "whisk" was particularly familiar. "This, isn't this the hair on Qibao's body?"

"Yes, it's all about Shibao's dog hair." It turned out that Zhihui cut off the little horn's hair and took it in her luggage to ward off evil spirits.

"What are you using Qibao's hair?"

"The dog can drive Hu Lang, but Hu Ji!"

It turns out that the superstition of fox fairies in the Tang Dynasty was very popular, which of course was related to the large number of Hu people. Foxes and Hu were homophonic, so the Tang people called the young man transformed from the fox fairy "Hu Lang", and the young woman transformed from "Hu Ji" (Hu Ji usually wears a yellow silk skirt, like a fox's tail), and the children transformed from... are also called "Hu Chuo" and "Hu Miao".

"Where did the evil come from?" Gao Yue didn't know what expression he used at this moment.

"After you are at night, you have a ghost relationship in your dream..."

These words scared Gao Yue so much that he wanted to rush up immediately and cover Zhihui's small mouth.

Fortunately, there is only Wei Tuotian in the yard. He is a simple person. He would not understand without explaining it clearly.

"I just dreamed of your mistress. What kind of kinship is it? How could I use my mistress as a ghost?" Gao Yue scolded Zhihui angrily.

But Zhihui was the most clever and immediately retorted, "That's not the dream of the mistress himself as the third brother. Ninety percent of the time was Hu Ji's transformation into the mistress's appearance, luring the third brother and he and robbing your essence."

"Then I still dreamed of A Ni bringing Jing'er!"

"That young man was transformed by Hu Chuo." Zhihui was honest and spoken, while Gao Yue was speechless.

"Then I still dreamed of you, Amei, and I hugged A Ni."

When Zhihui heard this, she quickly turned her face and replied, "That's the little beard."

"Where is me, where is me?" At this time, Wei Tuotian smiled foolishly and pointed at himself.

"I didn't dream." Gao Yue returned.

"Black Dog." Zhihui returned.

"Oh." Wei Tuotian was a little disappointed. It was good for the black dog, but the master didn't dream of me, which made me a little sad.

As a result, Wei Tuotian was so scared that he stayed there.

Gao Yue and Zhihui were also frightened and hurriedly followed Wei Tuotian's sight and looked at the Xinzhu roof.

Under the moonlight, a big fox was standing on it, and then screamed three times at Gao Yue. This was the first time Gao Yue heard the fox screaming, and it actually looked like a crow.
