The First Champion Chapter 207
The First Champion Chapter 207
Wang Yun, the first president of the Bianliang Chamber of Commerce, is not tall, with short legs and a long body, which is quite peculiar.At this time, he was welcoming guests at the front of the building, clasping his fists frequently, bursting into laughter from time to time.
At this time, dozens of people had gathered in the main seat, all of them were rich merchants with long sleeves and good businessmen, and there were also a few young people in brocade clothes and ermine hats, who could be seen as children of aristocratic families.
They gathered in groups of three or four, talking and laughing, talking about business, or simply reminiscing about the old days.
Wang Yun seemed heroic, but he was a little nervous. It was the first time these businessmen dared to do such a great job in Bianliang, just because the fact to be decided today was too important.
Jiaozi survived in name only, and the money cited by the Song Dynasty court was worthless, and the merchants who came and went carried a lot of money to do business, which was simply a feast for the strong.
If the banknotes promoted by Yang Shaozai's Long Live Camp can be issued, it will greatly increase the income of merchants and reduce risks, which is what all merchants are happy to see.
Banks all over the country, uniformly printed and issued every silver note, is mortgaged by real money.
Thinking of this, Wang Yun couldn't help but secretly stunned, how much money did Yang Shaozai have?
He raised his head and looked towards a private room upstairs with respect in his eyes.
In the private room, Yang Lin leaned lazily on the black lacquered mother-of-pearl flower-and-bird Luohan bed through the gauze curtain.
On the table next to him, his two "housekeepers", one big and one small --- Li Yunniang and Yang Tianai each hold an abacus, and don't know what books they are reconciling.
It's getting late, and people are almost here.Wang Yun walked into the hall and raised his voice: "Everyone, please return to your seats, shall we begin?"
In Bianliang City, there were also many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, especially the honored and relatives who were very interested in this. Wang Yun bowed to the upstairs far away and said with a smile: "Pan Yi's son-in-law, please come and sit up!"
When the bead curtain was lifted, a book boy came out and said, "My son-in-law said that he entertains distinguished guests upstairs, so you don't have to worry about it."
Wang Yun smiled and said: "Forget it, come here, and give the best food and drink to the concubine's table."
If Pan Yi didn't come, the first seat was vacant, so Wang Yun pushed Yao Shu and others from the northwest to take the seat.
There were those who sympathized, those who gave way, and couldn't hold back for a while.
Today's trial run of bank notes is limited, and it is very important to pay attention to which family is distributed.Those who came to the banquet were also wealthy businessmen from all over the country. Of course, there were also many family members of officials, but at least they had big business.
At this time, a young man climbed up the steps, heard the noise inside, walked inside and asked, "What are you doing? It's so lively?"
Everyone looked back one after another, only to see that young man with immature face, arrogant demeanor, full of plaster and rich clothes, brocade clothes and sable fur, and strong servants, he is not an ordinary family.
The young man said: "What's there to push? I can't sit still?" He didn't lower his voice, he just said it without any scruples, and immediately attracted more eyes.
Wang Yun received all those who sent out invitations today. When he saw the boy's face, he stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"
The young master walked up to the upper position, paused, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the end? When will you let it go? I heard that you have invited all the oirans here, so hurry up and call them out to perform singing and dancing." .”
Emotionally, he came to visit the brothel and everyone couldn't laugh or cry. What the Xiulou wants to do today is [-] times more important than what the oiran is going to do. It's just a gimmick to attract attention.
Yang Lin frowned, walked to the window, opened Xiaoxuan window and looked down
Damn, it's this little bastard again, Cai Jing's grandson Cai Tong, who somehow found out that the oirans are here today, and they're here to have fun.
Behind him, the evil slaves of the Cai Mansion scolded the surrounding merchants fiercely, just like scolding their sons.
The merchants expected him to be a dignitary, so they dared not speak back, and it was very humiliating to bear the scolding with shame.
At such an important time, today's actions can be said to be about to push the already prosperous business of Great Song Dynasty to another peak.A little bastard came out unexpectedly, Yang Lin's chest heaved and his eyes narrowed in anger.
He pushed them away, walked out of the private room, leaned on the railing and looked down: "Cai Tong, I don't care about you as much as you do today. If you don't get out of the sleeve building if you give me your voice, I'll send you back." You can't recognize you even if you beat him."
Yang Lin was promoted by Cai Jing, so he promised each other kindness, but his tone was like thunder, without any intimacy at all.
All the people present, as well as some eunuchs who knew the officialdom, began to speculate.People say that Yang Shaozai took advantage of Cai Xiang's return to Hangzhou, erected a flag to fight Han Zhongyan, and drove him out of the court.Although the current Shao Zai is not as good as Grand Master Cai, he has been able to stand up to Grand Master Cai in some respects. Now it seems that what he said is true.
When everyone looked up, they clasped their fists in salute and said, "I've seen Shao Zai."
Cai Tong's face was blue and red, he didn't know how to end it, he didn't know the people upstairs, for a peasant girl, he slapped himself in circles, and after the incident, he was still unscathed.
But if he just left like this, and the third son Cai lost all face, how can he get along in Bianliang?
After counting to the last five, Yang Lin increased his voice and said loudly: "Five! Four! Three"
At this time, Pan Yi on the second floor stood up and said with a smile: "Young Master Cai, why don't you come and drink with me."
Pan Yi originally had good intentions and was determined to be a peacemaker between Yang Lin and Cai Jing to ease the relationship between the two parties.
The current Pan Yi is completely scared by Yang Lin, An An will stay at home to make money, otherwise he will accompany his wife, Rou Hui Di Ji.
As long as he doesn't meddle in his own affairs, Yang Lin has no intention of killing them all. He extorted a large sum of money from him, robbed him of a pair of twin concubines, and took people to his house for demolition every now and then. Also disappeared.
Rouhui Diji is a good person, and her heart is not bad, so there is no need to chase them hard.
Yang Lin sold his face and said: "Since it is the son-in-law interceding, let him be spared."
When Cai Tong heard this, he was a little scared at first, and suddenly became furious, he jumped up and said, "Yang Lin, others are afraid of you, but I am not! Without my grandfather, what are you?"
Yang Lin clasped his fists and sneered, and said: "The relationship between Enxiang and this official is not something your brother Huang Maoruzi can understand. Today Enxiangruo is here, and no one will disobey where he wants to sit or what he wants to do. He won't sit The first seat, no one here, including this official, dares to take a seat. But what does this have to do with you? Are you a benevolent prime minister? Are you worthy?"
Cai Tong's ears were red. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Lin waved his hand. Several big men stepped forward to support him, and threw him out of the building with his limbs in his hands.
His servants were all stopped aside, as if someone had dug up their ancestral graves, they came forward screaming, and were beaten up.
Yang Lin glanced at Pan Yi, smiled kindly, then pressed his hand and said, "President Wang, it's okay, let's continue now."
2 Chapter Fifty
Bianliang City, Cai Mansion.
A carriage was about to send Cai Tong out of Bianliang, but Cai Jing was not there to see him off.
Cai Tong didn't fall hard, he opened the curtain and kept looking around, after all, he was only a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, he was very scared to be kicked out of Bianliang by his grandfather.
The boss of the Cai Mansion said some comforting words, bluntly saying that Xiao Lang will definitely re-enter Beijing with his father soon after he returns.
Cai Jing's son, how could he not be promoted when he was sent out to the magistrate? It will be a matter of time before he becomes an official in Bianliang.
Just as Cai Tong left, a blue-gray carriage drove up in front of the door. A middle-aged scribe walked out of the car and handed in a greeting card to the door.
When Menzi saw it, he looked strange, and immediately sent it to Lao Duguan.
"Yang Shaozai sent you here?" Old Du Guan asked in a deep voice without moving his face.
Yin Muhong chuckled and said, "Exactly."
"Come inside, I'll ask the Grand Master if he can see you."
Yin Muhong was in the flower hall, waiting for less than half a cup of tea, the boss came out and led him into Cai Jing's study.
After Yin Muhong saluted, he looked up and saw that Cai Jing was waving a pen on a piece of rice paper, and stood aside without speaking.
