Chapter 109 Meeting Zhang Anshi again! The Zhang family is so poor that they can’t open the pot

After calling Bu San to prepare the carriage, Huo Guang originally thought of returning to the restaurant to rest for a while.

And on the way back.

He was still thinking about what he should say when he goes to the ironworks to meet the big farmer Ling Yanyi.

The refining of cement cannot be separated from iron ore.

But during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

If you go privately to mine iron ore, you will definitely be despising your longevity.

so.

Huo Guang's target is not iron ore, but the useless slag produced after iron smelting. But the problem is, even if he wants the slag left after iron smelting, there must be a reason.

After all, the ancients were not fools.

Why would you want this if you have no motive?

then.

Huo Guang was thinking about deceiving the great farmer Ling Yan into a different place, so he didn't notice anyone approaching.

When the other person patted him on the shoulder, he subconsciously turned around and saw that the other person was a boy of the same age as himself.

But I don't know why.

I always felt that the other person exuded an indescribable aura that rushed towards me. I immediately frowned, looked at the other person twice, and said, "Hey, aren't you Zhang Anshi, the second son of Mr. Zhang's family?"

The gentle young man then smiled and said, "It's rare that Brother Huo still recognizes An Shi!"

"Erlang is so noble, how could Huo not recognize it?" Huo Guang laughed twice, then looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why did you come to me specifically? Oh,

Did I promise you to come and enjoy this restaurant last time? Hey, I almost forgot about it."

However, Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, "Brother Huo, don't make fun of me. You also know my father's temper."

"If I were to visit a restaurant, I would be ignorant and incompetent."

"If my father knew about this, I'm afraid he would be severely punished."

Are you ignorant when visiting restaurants?

What is this nonsense!

Huo Guang complained a little in his heart, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Since Erlang didn't come to the restaurant to have fun, what did he do here? Could it be that Mr. Zhang has something that I want you to inform me about?"

"Brother Huo is indeed as smart as my father said. He guessed it right at once." Zhang Anshi's eyes showed a look of surprise.

Regarding this.

Huo Guang didn't take it seriously.

The second eldest son of the Zhang family said he was afraid of his father, but also admitted that he didn't come here to have fun?

Then what else can you do to yourself?

To learn?

I'm sorry, Zhang An's talents are better than mine. How can a famous young talent in Chang'an City be as good as myself?

Moreover, the two of them only have a relationship.

Relationships are also average.

Then there is only one possibility to find yourself.

Zhang Gong asked him to come.

Huo Guang looked at the other party's surprised expression, smiled faintly, and said without paying much attention: "Mr. Zhang asked you to bring me a message. What is it?"

Zhang Anshi replied: "My father had a minister named Lu Yeju. He was seriously ill recently. He did not survive and passed away."

"Uncle Lu has a younger brother named Lu Yu."

"I wonder if Brother Huo knows this person?"

No one in Chang'an City, a place where only the rich and powerful could move in, cared about the death of Shi Lu Yeju.

after all.

A censor with an annual salary of 400 shi is 200 less than Huo Guang, a censor official with an annual salary of 600 shi.

Who cares if such a person dies?

Only Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, would care!

so.

Huo Guang just replied indifferently and said: "I don't know about Yu Shilu Yiju, I have never seen him. But I have met his brother once, and he is a bit flattering. I don't like such people. The last time we met, I

Drive him away."

actually!

It’s not like he hates flattery!

But I am afraid that if Lu Yu, a fool, befriends him, he will deceive me!

But Zhang Anshi didn’t know Huo Guang’s true thoughts!

After hearing such remarks, an embarrassed look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "Ah? How could this happen? I originally wanted to ask Brother Huo to place Lu Yu's family here and take care of him."

Is it fun to put people here?

Being sick is not.

After hearing this, Huo Guang shook his head and said: "My restaurant business is to collect money, how can I have the time to take in others!"

"besides."

"Did Erlang make a mistake? What are you doing to arrange for Lu Yu's family?"

"Isn't the person who died Lu Yeju?"

After Zhang Anshi heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "It was Uncle Lu who died, but Brother Huo didn't know. Uncle Ju's brother Lu Yu has been taken away by the Tingwei Mansion and imprisoned at the director's place."

"I'm here to ask something."

"The main reason is that I hope your restaurant can take in Lu Yu's family. My father said that he will find a way to rescue Lu Yu later."

"But I can't take care of Lu Yu's family."

After hearing this, Huo Guang was filled with doubts. Why was Lu Yu also arrested?

It was because Lu Yeju died.

Ting Wei couldn't find a breakthrough, so he turned his attention to Lu Yu?

Huo Guang was also very curious. Although he sympathized with the Lu family's experience, he still refused: "If Erlang comes here for this matter, let it go. I opened the restaurant to make a profit, not to do good deeds."

"Moreover."

"A restaurant is a place for communication, and the number of guests coming and going is complex, and their quality is also different."

"Such a situation."

"How can Lu Yu's family be left to my care in this restaurant?"

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi could only smile awkwardly and said: "If it doesn't work, then forget it. By the way, Brother Huo, I have one more thing to ask you."

And one more thing?

Huo Guang frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

at this time.

Zhang Anshi looked a little embarrassed, and he stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Huo, can you borrow some money? Our Zhang family has some troubles and is helpless, so we can only ask you for some help."

Why can't the pot be opened in Zhang Tang's house?

He knew that Mr. Zhang was very poor.

But no matter how poor you are.

With an annual salary of 2,000 stone, the annual income of a family of forty farmers is no more than this!

Will it be impossible to open the pot?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang asked directly: "An Shi is not here to make me laugh, is he? I know that Mr. Zhang is an upright man. But no matter how incorruptible he is, he has an annual salary of two thousand dan, how can he be so poor that he can't open the pot?"

However.

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "Brother Huo doesn't know something. A few days ago, you asked officials to donate money for disaster relief for the people in the northwest region."

"Although my father's donation was small, he still contributed a full three thousand dollars."

"That was the money my Zhang family kept to buy food. Now the money is gone, and my family has no property. When the salary comes down next year, I am afraid I will starve to death."
