Chapter 158

Wang Xiaojie was in a good mood today. He had never seen so much money since he was born in poverty. When he was in his 20s, Wang Xiaojie finally experienced what it felt like to have too much money to spend.

Seeing so much money coming in every day, this person will inevitably swell. Once a person swells, he will want to consume in revenge.

And that's what Wang Xiaojie is now.

He feels that he is now the top rich man in Yangzhou.

He even felt that even if Gyeonggi Province Patrolman Li Chengzhen was in front of him, he would dare to slap him twice.

Now Wang Xiaojie lives a fulfilling and satisfying life every day, and what he talks about every day is buying, buying, buying.

Buy iron, buy weapons, buy food.

In short, it's a big spender.

Of course, Wang Xiaojie knew that these things should not be used indiscriminately, so he let others do it for him.

And he himself continues to enjoy his luxurious life.

But now when he heard Yang Yanzhang say 2 taels of silver a month, Wang Xiaojie's eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole face became vulgar: "Twenty thousand taels of silver, tsk tsk."

"That's right, if it weren't for the perfume you provided, how could I have made so much money? But that perfume is really great. Nowadays, all the rich girls in Yangzhou City are too embarrassed to go out and say hello to others if they don't buy two bottles."

As Wang Xiaojie bought and bought, the soldiers of Yangzhou Navy also had rich meals every day.

There is no need to nibble on steamed buns, pickles, and game when eating. Instead, eat exquisite dishes.

Moreover, Wang Xiaojie even sent a portion of the meat in the general camp to major shops in Yangzhou Prefecture, which made the wealthy households extremely happy.

They have long been accustomed to eating coarse food, and suddenly they taste fine food. The taste is completely different.

Especially those children from official families couldn't put it down.

Every day there was big fish and meat, which made their bellies plump.

In just half a month, everyone under Wang Xiaojie has gained a lot of weight.

"Ouch!"

Wang Xiaojie was sitting in the yard taking a rest in the sun.Suddenly he felt his butt being kicked hard, the pain was so painful that he almost screamed.

"Who? Who dares to kick me? Don't you want to hang out?"

Wang Xiaojie stood up angrily and roared.

"If you don't go to practice Yangzhou Navy in broad daylight, why are you sleeping here?"

Wang Xiaojie was stunned when he heard this. He saw clearly the appearance of the person who kicked him, and then he recognized that this person was Yang Yanzhang.

"Brother Yang, I..." Wang Xiaojie hesitated.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to call me brother. Look at what you've done to train your men, and you've trained them like shit. I don't think you look like a general at all. You might as well become a bandit instead." ." Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly and cursed.

When Wang Xiaojie heard this, he felt unhappy, but he could not refute it.

In the end, he went to train the soldiers obediently.

……

Soon, Yang Yanzhang was ordered to return to Chang'an by an edict from Wu Zetian.

Before leaving, Yang Yanzhang handed over all the business in Yangzhou City to Wang Xiaojie.

At this time, Wu Zetian was lying bored in the Chang'an Palace, looking at the sky outside: "Why isn't Yang Yushi here yet?"

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Yang Yushi left for Chang'an last night." Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Zetian slapped her forehead: "I have forgotten about this problem." "It's too thick. Why don't I leave the palace again and invite Yang Yushi into the palace." Shangguan Wan'er suggested.

"No, let him stay for a few more days. Anyway, it's almost spring plowing, so he'll be fine in Chang'an." Wu Zetian waved his hand, and then asked: "By the way, Wan'er, what do you think of Yang Yushi this time? Will you take his properties back with you when you go back?"

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while and said: "Although Yang Yushi is a scholar, his achievements in conquering the north and south for your Majesty these years can also allow him to build a few houses in Chang'an. But if it is Yang Yushi's If we take all those properties back, I’m afraid it will cause some trouble.”

"Hmph, they want to take away my property? No way." Wu Zetian sneered.

She is not stupid. How could she evenly distribute her hard-earned wealth to those corrupt and corrupt people?

"The Queen Mother is wise." Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly complimented her, then hesitated for a moment and said, "But Your Majesty, will your actions affect the people's livelihood in Yangzhou?"

Wu Zetian thought for a while and said firmly: "No, Yang Yushi knows it well."

After riding a carriage all the way, Yang Yanzhang, who suffered from backache and back pain, finally arrived in Chang'an City near evening.

It has to be said that the carriages of this era are indeed too crowded, and it is time to transform some comfortable carriages.

"Master, where should we go first?" a guard asked.

This guard was sent by Yang Yanzhang to protect his mother and sister. His surname was Zhao.

"Go to the Drunken Immortal Tower!"

Yang Yanzhang gave an order and walked into Zuixian Tower, preparing to book a banquet to celebrate his gains during this period.

"what?"

Entering the Zuixian Tower, Yang Yanzhang's eyes flashed as he looked at the girl greeting him: "This girl is quite iconic!"

Yang Yanzhang's reputation as a playboy has spread throughout Yangzhou Prefecture, and this girl obviously knew it. After seeing Yang Yanzhang, she bowed slightly and said softly: "Little girl Zicuckoo, I have met Mr. Yang!"

While speaking, she secretly glanced at Yang Yanzhang, showing a shy and charming expression.

But soon she discovered something was wrong and immediately lowered her head.

I saw that except for a guard, there was no other entourage around Yang Yanzhang.

"Are you Yang Yanzhang?" Zijuan asked in surprise.

Yang Yanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "I am Yang Yanzhang, this beautiful girl, how do you know me? Do you admire my reputation? Haha!"

"Yang Yushi laughed at this. Who in the entire city of Chang'an doesn't know Yang Yushi's iron bones? Even my babbling younger brother can tell you two of Yang Yushi's glorious deeds."

Listening to Zijuan's words, Yang Yanzhang scratched his head and said without humility: "Really? Haha, I didn't expect that I was so famous."

"Yes, everyone knows that Yang Yushi is a good official who is rare to see in a hundred years!" Zijuan looked at Yang Yanzhang and said seriously.

"Don't say that, I'm not that good. We only see each other every three to fifty years at most." After hearing this, Yang Yanzhang quickly waved his hand and said modestly.

"Haha, Yang Yushi is really interesting. Please come in quickly. I'll ask the chef to prepare a table of delicious dishes for Yang Yushi."

Zijuan invited.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'd like to thank you, beautiful woman." Yang Yanzhang was not polite and directly led Zicuckoo into the Zuixian Tower. After arriving at the private room, he directly asked for a table of top-notch dishes.

Zijuan, as the shopkeeper, naturally followed into the box.

Soon after, the dishes were served.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Yang Yanzhang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, picked up his chopsticks and eagerly picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Hmm~" Yang Yanzhang's eyes suddenly widened.

Because the chicken is tender and plump, it is much better than the chicken and duck in restaurants in the capital.
