Chapter 497 Shopping

Gongsun Zang treated people at the last moment. If it hadn't been for Guan Jing's continuous handling, I'm afraid that the city had already fallen. Guan Jing thought that he had done enough for Gongsun Zant. Living in the world was nothing more than chasing fame and profit. Guan Jing originally wanted to use the talent he had learned in his life under Gongsun Zhan's hands and win fame. Yaomen lin didn't expect that Gongsun Zan died, and his family was also trapped in Youzhou. So far, I don't know what to do.

"Spent someone to check Guan Jing!" Jia Rong looked at Zhang Xiu beside him. For the counselors who came to turn to him, Jia Rong would not spare his official position, especially Guan Jing, a counselor who had been reused under Gongsun Zan before, must have strength.

"No!" Zhang Xiu left with a fist.

After the rebellion in Bingzhou and the battle of the princes, the Xiliang army lost a total of 60,000 soldiers before and after. These soldiers are the backbone of the army. It can be said that they have suffered heavy losses. More than 10,000 people are injured and disabled. The strength of the army has fallen, and the water army that has been formed for many years has also been disintegrated by Liu Biao and Sun Ce. The losses are unprecedented.

All the soldiers who have been tested by the war are elite soldiers. With these backgrounds, Jia Rong is not worried about the military strength of the Western Liang army. With a conscription order, Jia Rong can easily pull out a cavalry from the Qiang Xiongnu Xianbei people. The key is that there is no strong financial support. No matter how many troops there are, it is in vain, but it is good for the merchants in Chang'an. People drive economic development. Even if it is just collecting taxes, it is not comparable to the princes of the Central Plains.

Looking at the two children running around, Jia Rong was full of apologies and busy work one after another. Instead, he ignored his love for his children. After all, he was not a qualified father and did not pay attention to their education, etc. Fortunately, there was Cai Yong, a good grandfather, although he did not force his children to learn Confucianism. Classic, but teach the two children politely.

Although he is the son of a general, Jia Rong doesn't want them to receive any special treatment. The place where they go to class is also a school in Chang'an City. Like many children of generals, they do not engage in specialization. When going in and out, naturally, someone secretly protects them.

"Reacity, come here!" Jia Rong lowered his body and called out.

"Father!" Hearing Jia Rong's call, the two children came to Jia Rong respectfully and shouted in a tender tone.

Jia Rongxin sighed that in the future world, at his age, he would still cry to his parents. He didn't expect the two children to be so well-behaved.

"Ren'er, you are my brother's. You have to let your brother do everything, you know?" Jia Rong said in a low voice.

Jia Ren looked at Jia Rong with fear and shook his head repeatedly. He dared to be presumptuous in his mother's arms, but he would not be presumptuous in front of Jia Rong, and there was a sense of fear in Jia Rong.

"What's wrong? Tough?" Jia Rong asked.

Jia Ren said, "Every time my brother bullies me, I'm weak and can't beat my brother." With that, Jia Ren seemed to feel extremely wronged, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, as if he wanted to cry out.

Jia Rong gently stroked the heads of the two children and smiled, "Isn't it impossible for you to teach you the courage when you were in school?"

"Father, what is the courage of a man?" Jia Ren looked up and asked.

Jia Rong remembered that the two children are only three years old. It's lucky not to cry or make noise. He can still expect him to learn anything in the school. It is estimated that the two of them carry their schoolbags to the school every day. When they don't like it, they both of them Go forward to bully again. Anyway, these children dare not say anything when they go back.

"What is the courage of a man, that is to say, in a war... When fighting, people who can't use their brains will always rush to the front, making people feel that he is very majestic. Jia Rong pointed to Jia Ren's little head and tried to explain it in words that the two children could understand.

"And smart people will not show up and command behind their backs."

Jia Ren nodded with some understanding, pointed to Jia regret and said, "Is your father talking about his brother's bravery?"

Jia Rong nodded amusedly.

"Rier, can you understand it in the school?"

When Jia Ren saw that his father was rarely kind, he complained, "Father, my brother and I are the youngest in the school. There are a lot of things that the teacher teaches that I can't understand."

Jia regret is also staring at Jia Rong with flashing eyes and going to school. In Jia regret's opinion, it is an extremely boring thing.

Jia Rong glanced at the two children and couldn't understand what was going on in their heads.

"Well, it's also because of my father's mistake. In the future, every time I go to school for five days, I can take two days off. How about that?"

"Father is the best, father is the best!" The two children clapped their hands and praised. They have always had little contact with Jia Rong. The two children have a strange feeling about Jia Rong, and their impression of their father is also learned from the older children in the school that whenever others mention their father's expression of worship, the two children feel very proud.

The child is still very young. To be honest, Jia Rong doesn't want him to go to the school to study, but Cai Yong is the head of the school. Naturally, he doesn't want his grandson to be illiterate in the future. In a hurry, he has to get Jia Ren into the school, and the Wei family is not willing to show weakness. He sent Jia regret to the school, which seems to be a simple move. In fact, it represents the beginning of the competition between the two major forces of the Xiliang Army. Of course, this cannot be called a competition of forces. The two children are still very naive.

In the view of the ministers below, there will be only one heir of the Xiliang Army, Jia Ren or Jia regret, or some later children.

Jia Ren is the eldest son of the concubine, and Jia regret is the legitimate son. In such a situation, it is very troublesome for the ruler. Jia Rong didn't think so much. The boat is naturally straight to the bridge. If any child shows enough ability, he will inherit his position.

It is still not enough for children to study in school. When they are a little older, they will definitely go to practice in the army. If they haven't really experienced something, they won't understand.

It is rare for Jia Rong to have a father's love. The two children followed their father closely, and their clothes were also replaced by Jia Rong with coarse clothes. They wandered on the street and wore low-key clothes, which could reduce a lot of trouble.

"Father, why didn't we take the carriage when we came out?" Jia regretted the tiger's head and the tiger asked.

Jia Rong's face suddenly became serious. "It's a pity, for the superior, be diligent and thrifty, and not extravagant, just like the simple clothes of our father and son walk out of the general's mansion."

Looking at Jia regret's sad face, Jia Rong quickly said a few pleasant words.

Zhang Xiu, who followed him not far away, couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw the father and son on the street. "Pay close attention to the surroundings and protect the safety of the master and son."

In Chang'an, the Xiliang Army is a well-deserved hegemon. If there is any mistake here, Zhang Xiu will be forced to commit suicide to apologize.

Along the way, Jia Ren and Jia Jiandong looked around. When they met something they fell in, they also knew what it meant to ask Jia Rong.

Three times in a row, Jia Rong bought it without hesitation, which made the two children excited. In front of Jia Rong, there was no more restraint and played at ease. The two children talked to Jia Rong from time to time. Usually, there were few such opportunities.

Looking at the two happy birds-like children, Jia Rong also put down his political troubles for the time being and played with the two children with all his heart.

However, the two children did not go home, which made Cai Yan and Wei Fu very anxious. In the past two years, Jia Rong rarely stayed in Chang'an, and the two women put all their efforts on the children.

"Madam, the two princes and the general went to the market together. It is estimated that it will take some time to come back." A maid came forward and whispered.

Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Try my servants to prepare some food."

Suddenly, Jia Rong was attracted by a stall next to the market, a green hairpin.

The businessman who sells things has already developed a good eye for a long time and will introduce: "This gentleman has a good eye. This hairpin is made of the best jade, and it is hard to find a lot of money."

Jia Rong nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and held the hairpin in his hand.

After a while, when he saw that Jia Rong still didn't say a word, the merchant was a little anxious. The most precious thing in these goods was this hairpin, which was also obtained by the merchant by chance. Seeing that it was extraordinary, he took it to Chang'an to sell, with the intention of selling it at a good price. In fact, he did not know what material the hairpin was.

"Sir, do you want to buy it?" The merchant's tone was a little anxious.

"Why did your child run around on the street? I paid a lot of money to buy this dress. I took the two children to the government office."

The spies' voice woke Jia Rong up, looked at the businessman apologetically, and put down the hairpin. "I'll come back later. Don't sell this hairpin to others."

The businessman nodded repeatedly and said that Jia Rong didn't bring enough money. He had seen too many forced buying and selling in other places. When he just saw Jia Rong's look, he thought he wanted to take it away and not pay the bill. He immediately thought that this was Chang'an, and his heart was completely put down.

moving away the crowd, Jia Rong saw Jia regret and Jia Ren being surrounded in the middle, and a woman with heavy makeup pointed to the two children and kept shouting.

Seeing this, Jia Rongqiang suppressed his anger and asked with a low roar, "What's going on?"

"Father!" Jia Ren lowered his head with a red face, and tears turned in his eyes. As the child of the general, when did he suffer such grievances, but his inner dignity told him that he could not cry.

Jia regret looked at the woman with an unconvinced face, quite manly, but his young age had already made the onlookers ignore the anger in the child's heart.

"Are you the family of these two children?" The woman pointed to Jia Rong and shouted harshly. The spies' voice made Jia Rong frown slightly.

Zhang Xiu and others came in a hurry with the lone wolf soldiers. Suddenly, the lone wolf was also a little caught off guard.

Jia Rong raised his hand and said coldly, "I am, I don't know what advice? If today's thing can't be given to Ben... I have a proper statement, hum."

"These two furry children have stained my clothes. I don't know how to discipline them at home." The woman muttered, as if she was shocked by Jia Rong's instant momentum.
