    "The first achievement of An Qingxu, the son of the thief An?" "Exactly, this guy can run away. He hid in the Nanshan Mountain. The brothers spent five days searching the mountain before forcing him out. His shooting skills are really good.  He was so skilled that he killed seven people in order to catch him, and finally forced him to kill himself with a knife. He was very brave." The soldier who escorted the first soldier said "yes" three times in a row, which was probably An Qingxu's.  The performance was really beyond his expectation.  In this battle of Chang'an, the performance of An Lushan, Shi Siming and others was really not outstanding, which made the Tang army, the enemy, feel a bit boring. Only An Qingxu fought like a man.  Zhou Xiangren spat at An Qingxu's first achievement. He was a eunuch, so he didn't need to respect his opponent to respect himself.  "This guy is also confused. He went to seek refuge with Shi Siming at the last moment, but was betrayed by Shi Siming." Seeing that the angel was somewhat interested in An Qingxu, the soldier said with a smile: "Shi Siming used this guy as bait to use the golden cicada's escape plan.  , I ran smoothly, but since he can betray others, others can naturally betray him. No, he was tied up by his subordinates and sent back to Chang'an, which happened to come at the same time as An Qingxu's head." Zhou Xianren looked at An Qingxu's head in surprise.  There is a person tied up next to him. He is dressed up like a woman, but he is really ugly.  At first, Zhou Xiangren thought he was a member of An Qingxu's family, and was muttering to himself that the taste of the Hu slaves was really strong, and the girl he took looked like this. Only now did he know that this person turned out to be Shi Siming. "This is a man disguised as a woman."  ?" Zhou Xiangren asked.  "No," the soldier laughed loudly: "This guy dressed up as a woman and tried to escape from Tongguan, but his subordinates tied him up and presented him." Shi Siming closed his eyes, trembling all over, and said sternly: "  "If a man dies, his ears will die. Why do you need to humiliate me like this? "I have to let Ye Gong see you like this. This is a rare thing. If Ye Gong hasn't seen it, who would dare to let you change into men's clothes?  The soldier said mockingly: "In order to deal with you rebellious people, Mr. Ye has spent a lot of energy. It's rare that there is something that makes Mr. Ye happy. How can you not dedicate it to him?"  " Shi Siming never thought that he would become a tool used by Tang soldiers to please Ye Chang. In this way, in the eyes of Tang soldiers, he was no different from an actor. Zhou Xiangren couldn't help laughing when he saw the excitement.  Not close. As an angel, Ye Chang would naturally not keep him waiting. After a while, Ye Chang invited him in. When he saw Ye Chang, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Congratulations to Ye Gong, congratulations to Ye Gong." "Angel Zhou also  Have you met An Qingxu¡¯s first achievement and Shi Siming?  " "Yes, I have seen it. I have seen that these two people were killed and captured. The thieves' heads have been put into Ye Gong's bag. Now Ye Gong only needs to send a general to Fan Yang to plow the courtyard and dig holes, and then the world will be at peace."  Ye Chang laughed: "There is no need to go to such trouble. The good angel learned that Yan Gaoqing in Changshan and Luo Jiuhe in Liaodong have broken through Fan Yang, and the thieves' hole has been leveled. Your Majesty has nothing to worry about."  " "What? In this case, congratulations to Mr. Ye are not enough, we have to congratulate him twice.  " Zhou Xianren was stunned at first, but then he understood that this must be Ye Chang's arrangement. If it weren't for Ye Chang's arrangement, Luo Jiuhe would not be able to act in Liaodong. However, Zhou Xianren was too optimistic about the situation. Zhang Zhongzhi and other thieves  The generals are still there, and the scattered rebels are still causing trouble. It will take some time to pacify these guys. It is spring in Chang'an. Although there has been war, flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and the air is full.  The refreshing fragrance made people feel refreshed. When Zhou Xiangren heard this news, he felt that his whole body seemed to be integrated into the spring. "What is your Majesty's purpose when the angel comes this time? How to deal with Ni Heng and An Thief?  "Ye Chang asked. "Seeing Zhou Xiangren talking about business, he immediately became solemn and then took out the imperial edict. When Li Longji fled in a hurry, the national seal fell into the hands of Li Heng, and later it was captured by An Lushan. Now it is in Ye Chang's hands.  Therefore, this imperial edict was only stamped with Li Longji's temporary private seal, but it could also be used as an imperial edict. After seeing Li Longji's opinions on Li Heng's handling of Anlu Mountain, Ye Chang pondered for a moment, and then said:  "I understand what the sage means. Duke Zhou, I will give you a memorial and you can take it back for me How prepared are you for the sage to return to Chang'an?  " "It's already being done, and it may have started now. The sage said that the people along the way are experiencing war, so everything should be kept simple and there is no need to disturb the people.  " "The benevolence of a saint must be known to the common people.  "Ye Chang flattered him smoothly. Seeing that he had accomplished such a great feat without any hint of arrogance, Zhou Xianren nodded secretly: The pillar of Ye Dukedom is indeed extraordinary. There was nothing too urgent this time, so Zhou Xianren did not leave immediately.  , but rested for two days in Chang'an City. This was also a secret mission he received from Gao Lishi - Gao Lishi asked him to secretly spy on the public opinion of the military and civilians in Chang'an City, and understand the people in the capital's views on the emperor, especially Ye Chang.  . He rested that day, but early the next morning, he was awakened by the loud noise and sent his servant to ask, but it wasThe people on the street all followed to watch General An Lushan light candles. "Ye Gong moves so fast." After hearing this, Zhou Xianren said in his heart.  He understood why Li Longji ordered Ye Chang to execute An Lushan before he returned to Chang'an. First, Li Longji really hated An Lushan to the extreme, and he couldn't wait to avenge his hatred.  Secondly, Li Longji felt guilty. He hoped to get rid of An Lushan as soon as possible and make this embarrassing incident history.  "Since An Lushan is to be executed, let's go and watch the excitement." Zhou Xianren said.  After he washed up and went to the street, he found that Chang'an Street was crowded with people, and it seemed more lively than in previous years.  Everywhere he looked, there were crowds of people and dense crowds.  "There are so many people today. Just kill An Lushan. Why are there so many people?" Since he came to experience the favors of the market, he naturally did not bring any ceremonial guard, only two strong companions, and squeezed in the crowd.  After a while, I felt like I was sweating profusely and couldn't help but complain.  "You don't know something about this. Killing the thief An is just one of them. Everyone hopes to cleanse themselves of their filth. It's not a good year. It's noisy. Now the thief An is finally going to be executed. That is to say  "The bad luck will be eliminated." A man who looked like a businessman heard his complaints and said with a smile.  ¡°That¡¯s right, you think there are too many people on the street, why don¡¯t you go out on the street? I think you¡¯re here to join in the fun,¡± another person said.  Zhou Xiangren smiled awkwardly: "That's true. I'm just worried that with so many people taking to the streets, will the execution place be able to be arranged by then?" "You don't know something. Ye Gong made arrangements for the execution of An Thief this time.  If we put it in the new stadium in the West City, we won¡¯t be afraid of the crowds,¡± the businessman said.  Zhou Xiangren had heard about the new football stadium in Xishi City. It was a football field built jointly by six big merchants in Xishi City last year. It was surrounded by a wall more than two feet high. In addition to the fields for football,  There are also seats that are said to have no problem accommodating more than 100,000 people.  Originally this was prepared for the Liangjing Cup football match held on the fifth day of the first lunar month this year, but due to the turmoil in the current situation, the match was canceled. Therefore, the first time the stadium was used, it was actually used to kill people.  The track system inside Chang'an City was also destroyed by the rebels, and personnel exchanges returned to the point where they had to rely on feet or horse power before.  Zhou Xiangren crowded among the people, chatting and walking forward. It took him more than an hour to reach the West Market.  The West Market was the most prosperous place in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, where wealthy businessmen gathered and all industries were prosperous.  But it was precisely because of this that when An Lushan controlled Chang'an, the West Market was severely damaged.  When Zhou Xiangren entered the city, he saw only the ruins of each store, and in many places even embers were extinguished. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Unexpectedly, the thieves are so rampant, and the people in the West City are in trouble"  "Mr. Lang, you don't know. The West Market is pretty good." The merchant-looking man said, "Here in the West Market, because it is close to Andong Bank, every household has the habit of depositing money in the counter of Andong Bank.  , At least some of the property can be obtained from Anton Bank. Some merchants in Dongshi are miserable. " "Oh, what's the difference?" Zhou Xiangren asked curiously: "Is Anton Bank not damaged?  Dong Bank was under the guidance of Ye Gong. When Ye Gong first opened the bank, to prevent accidents, he placed the bank's vault in a location unknown to anyone. Therefore, although the thieves had been entrenched in Chang'an for many days, they dug up the ground of Andong Bank.  But they still didn't receive anything. They could only burn down the bank's facade Look, that's the bank's facade that was burned down." Zhou Xiangrenshun went there as he expected, only to see one area burned extremely thoroughly.  What is strange is that in front of these ruins, there are four sets of wooden signs.  There was paper attached to the wooden sign, and what was written on the paper was still far away, so he couldn't see clearly what was written on it.  "What's written on that card?" "That's what I just told Mr. Anton. Bank said that the money and goods deposited in each bank's cabinet can be obtained after ten days with the original deposit certificate. If the deposit certificate is  If it is stolen by the rebels, there is no need to panic. You can first file a freeze at the bank and freeze the account, and then go to the Hucao in Jingzhao Prefecture to issue a household registration certificate, and then you can reopen the deposit certificate for the money and property in your name, and then collect it. "  The merchant said: "Ye Gong has just entered the city, and this notice was posted. People in the city who have deposited money in Anton Bank are now at ease, waiting for the bank to escort the cash over." Zhou Xianren nodded silently, secretly approving in his heart.  Yixin: benevolent government.  It is said that businessmen pursue profits, but this Anton Bank has never made a fortune from the national crisis. If he burned down the account books and warehouse and misappropriated the money under the pretext of having thieves, who can trace it back?  "The way you said it, did you also deposit the money in Anton Bank?" someone asked.  The merchant said proudly: "I don't have any other skills. I just have a good eye. I followed Mr. Ye and made a few small fortunes. Naturally, I deposited the money in Anton Bank" At this point, he realized that he  Due to a slip of the tongue, the money was revealed, and he said with a sad face: "What I regret is that I shouldn't have listened to my aunt, and took out most of the money and put it in Chang'an City."I built a house on the land and built a village outside Now that the house has been burned down, there is no trace of the village, and all the tenants I hired have come to my house asking for food and drink" As he rambled on, someone else interrupted.  The man smiled and said: "What are you talking about? The most miserable people in our Chang'an City are the rich and powerful, the old and the old.  " When the merchant heard him change the subject, he stopped crying and nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly, I heard about it too.  They cast gold and silver into ingot ball cakes, put them in jars and buried them at home. As a result, the thieves were accustomed to looting, and many people lost their money and could not get it back.  " The person who interrupted looked around and lowered his voice: "You still don't know. They heard that Anton Bank was going to pay their deposits two days ago. They pestered Ye Gong one by one, saying that they asked Ye Gong to pay for them.  The attempt to recover the stolen property was rejected by Mr. Ye" Hearing the news, Zhou Xiangren couldn't help but sneered: "Damn, they are idiots" These nobles who fell into the hands of An Lushan and Li Heng  Although they were oppressed by An Lushan, they did not have a good impression on Li Longji. Li Longji hated them for failing to draw a clear line between them and the traitors, and secretly said that these people had been favored by the emperor for many generations, but they still refused.  It is better to be loyal and patriotic than Ye Chang, who stood up in the grass and fields. "They are not stupid. What they want is to let Ye Gong share the captured goods with them after the victory to make up for their losses."  However, Ye Gong believed that most of the gains should be turned over to the national treasury for use by the court, and a small number should be sent to soldiers to reward loyalty and bravery.  Another person said: "Those people are regretting it now. They should have invested their money in the first place instead of hoarding it."  lose.  "The merchant said. Zhou Xiangren was secretly surprised that the merchant had actually read Ye Chang's "The Wealth of Nations". He knew very well that during this period, Li Longji had collected a lot of Ye Chang's works, especially articles about Taoism and economy.  Let the scholars around him analyze it and then tell it to him. Among them, the two old articles "On the Wealth of Nations" and "On Border Policy" are the key points. After the Anlu Mountain Rebellion, Li Longji learned some lessons. Ø­I hope to find a way to return the Tang Dynasty to prosperity and stability, and because Ye Chang's theory is supported by practice, it has become the core of the textual research of the officials of the imperial court. "Can Lang Jun understand "The Wealth of Nations"?  "He asked. "That's natural. If we merchants want to make a fortune, we used to rely on 30% hard work and 70% luck, but now we have to learn.  "The businessman said. "We're here!" Zhou Xianren was about to ask again when he heard someone shouting. He looked up and sure enough, he had arrived at the West City New Stadium. There are twelve gates in this stadium. After entering with the flow of people, Zhou Xianren  I saw that a wooden platform was set up in the middle of the stadium, and the surrounding bleachers were already full of people. Even the stadium surrounding the wooden platform was crowded with many people. If it weren't for the large number of soldiers maintaining it, these people would just be there.  They were afraid and crowded to the edge of the wooden platform. Not long after they arrived, they saw a fat man being put on the wooden platform by four soldiers. Needless to say, this person was An Lushan.
