On the eighth day of the lunar month, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, were escorted by the imperial guards along the way to Mingqing Temple. At a moment of rest, he bowed to the pagoda in the temple. At a moment of four, he went to Wuyue Tower to pray for blessings and release animals. At a moment of Si, he entered the Grand Hall to welcome the Buddha statue. At a moment of three, he sat in a golden basin, burned incense, and worshiped the Buddha; at a moment of five-color fragrant soup bathing in the Buddha; at a moment of seven, he went around the Buddha to congratulate the Buddha at noon, and at a moment of vegetarian food, and at a moment of four, he started to return to the palace, and the imperial city commander and the guards in the temple. From the hour of Mao to the end of noon, the people were prohibited from traveling along the way and two miles around Mingqing Temple.
Cheng Zongyang put down the paper and said with a smile: It's hard to write carefully for you
Sun Tianyu said respectfully: My uncle's instructions, my nephew should do his best!
Although the surname Sun is well-behaved and does not ask a word, the loophole cannot be solved, Cheng Zongyang sighed, with a headache expression on his face, and said half casually and half embarrassingly: You also know that the original Wumu Palace is now being demolished, and the palace is next to Mingqing Temple. If the craftsmen at the Buddhist temple bathing ceremony disturb the nobles in the palace, my sins will be great.
Sun Tianyu suddenly realized and said with admiration: "Uncle is still thoughtful."
It’s almost the same as the performances of both sides. Cheng Zongyang took a sip of tea. Has the cause been found in the fire in the city that day been found?
Sun Tianyu said carefully: This matter is not handled by my nephew, but I heard that it was a small official who ignited the kitchen shed when boiling medicine. Fortunately, Jia Xiangye handled it properly, so it did not cause a disaster. Although some of the houses in the city were burned, the government offices were not affected. Only a few houses in the Imperial Medical Bureau were burned.
Cheng Zongyang kept muttering in his heart, could it be the Black Demon Sea? He was in the palace with Gao Qiu, and he had to deal with another lot of things. Gao Qiu was investigating this matter, but he never found any clues. Now it sounded like he had only burned several buildings in the Imperial Medical Bureau. The six important departments were not affected by the Great Inner. It seemed that he was a little suspicious and thought about everything on the Black Demon Sea.
After Sun Tianyu left, Lin Qingpu reminded: This person is not good at thinking and should not use it too much.
Cheng Zongyang said: There are shrimp paths, crabs have crab paths, and villains also have their uses. Just beware of him and don’t harm others. Is there any news from the fourth brother?
Deacon Qi personally sent Mr. Zhang and his party through Yuanshui. The road ahead was smooth and he could arrive in Lin'an in mid-April.
Lin Qingpu Road: Although Yi Biao and his party set off for a few days, they traveled day and night. I heard that they were already in front of Mr. Zhang and others.
Is there any news about Jiankang?
Lin Qingpu shook his head
Cheng Zongyang sighed. There is no news from Yun Ruyao so far. Her body is weak and now she is damaged again. If a cold poison occurs, I don’t know if I can support Yun Xiufeng and bring people back to Jiankang. With his friendship and methods, the safety of the Yun family is not a problem. It’s a pity that he is incompetent and has no time to go to Jiankang in person. He kowtowed to Brother Yun and others to apologize.
Cheng Zongyang packed up his messy mood and focused on calculating the accounts. He did not put down the accounts until the sun was in a state of decline.
From demolition to construction of the Wumu Palace, it will take at least one year to complete. Now Cheng's money house is still in the alley provided by the Ministry of Revenue. However, these days, the alleys around him have almost become a downtown city. In addition to Lin'an, merchants from various prefectures have also come to ask how to exchange paper coins.
Cheng Zongyang originally thought that small-denomination banknotes were difficult to implement. The third batch of small-denomination banknotes of one million gold baht were only used to exchange for real estate in the Wumu Palace. When they were pushed to the government, they no longer worried. However, Cai Yuanchang half-pressed and half-given and kicked the ball back, forcibly mortgaged the cash of 300,000 gold baht.
In the difficult situation, Qin Hui casually released a rumor in Banxian Hall. Not only did he exchange the banknotes for clean exchange, but he even exchanged the banknotes he had recovered before with such a treacherous minister. He couldn't help but secretly applaud the case. Even Jia Shixian was afraid.
At this point, all three batches of banknotes in Cheng's money house were issued. Since the third batch was directly exchanged in the money house, all the cash entered the bank's vault as Qingzhou's grain funds arrived one after another. I just took stock of the accounts and converted them into gold baht. The total cash in my hand was nearly 1.8 million, and the banknotes were still 570,000, and there were 50,000 gold baht reserved by the Yunzhou semicolon.
Of the 2.43 million banknotes circulating outside, 600,000 were held in Yun's hands, and 1.83 million banknotes scattered on the market were close to one to one for the amount of cash reserved. The situation was not generally optimistic. Even if the worst situation occurred, all the banknotes were cashed out and I had enough cash to hold on.
But from the perspective of liabilities, 400,000 is the principal provided by the Song State, 300,000 is the loan from Yun's family, and Cai Yuanchang mortgaged the banknotes to himself, if he deducted the reserved principal of the liability, he would pay twice the banknotes with 1.2 million cash.
Although the situation is still optimistic, this is the result of investing all your capital in the money house. Once there is a storm in the money house, it is still unknown how much profit can you save?
The weakest link may be Yun's attitude. In addition to the cash he owed Yun's 300,000 gold baht, Yun's hand also had 600,000 gold baht of paper money. If Yun turned against him, he could take away his 900,000 gold baht of cash at once, which was equal to half of his capital. Although the possibility is very small, it cannot be said that there is no
On the other hand, there must be a warning. Since Qin Hui can use rumors to push all the banknotes, and there is another useless rumor about the banknotes. Maybe all the people from Lin'an will come to run the money to the end. As long as there is a cash payment of gold baht that cannot be exchanged, the sign of Cheng's money house will be smashed.
In order to reflect the credit of the banknotes, Cheng Zongyang asked the two grain stores that Yun secretly controlled, Tongyuan stores, and the building materials and items purchased by the traitors who rushed to fire during the fire. When they were sold, they all listed and received banknotes. At the same time, they promised the craftsmen recruited on the construction site that the wages were paid every day, but half of them were paid by banknotes. Not to mention that the banknotes are now popular in Lin'an. Even if the banknotes are not cared about, as long as they finish their work every day, they can use these papers to exchange for real grain from the grain store, and the craftsmen have nothing to do.
Cheng Zongyang even discussed with the monks of Mingqing Temple that the merit money and incense money in the temple were all received, and the money shop was responsible for exchange. If Mingqing Temple was willing to store the money received in Cheng's money shop, the interest rate provided by the money shop to the temple was three points for the annual interest rate Mingqing Temple was not vague. He collected a favor fee and agreed to receive the banknotes, but failed to reach an agreement on the task of depositing - Mingqing Temple himself also lends out the outside world, and the interest rate is as high as 50% annual interest rate. Such a heroic method made Cheng Zongyang look more and more impressed with these black-hearted monks who released these usury loans.
Nowadays, residents in Lin'an can buy grain at the grain store, or buy urgently in short supply bricks and tiles outside the city, and can also buy incense, paper, fire, candles, donate merits and deals in various places to buy the collected banknotes at Cheng's Money House to exchange for cash. Cheng's Money House then releases some of the banknotes by wages. Although the overall scale is very small, at least these banknotes have begun to be circulated. The more people start to contact the banknotes, the more they can experience the convenience brought by the banknotes.
Cheng Zongyang hugged his shoulders and looked at the twilight outside the window from February 17th. In less than two months, Cheng's money house was in its infancy. The military field department was in its infancy, the head of the Baochao Bureau, the Taishi Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion, the Imperial City Department, the Da Nei, and the six officials... The relationships that should be settled in various places should be settled, and he also picked up a Tongyuan Grain Store for free... To the viewers, he was simply advancing and making progress, but so smooth, but Cheng Zongyang felt a little uneasy.
I was an unemployed, useless white-collar worker, and I could call the wind and rain in the Six Dynasties. How could those seniors who traveled through time in the past be so unlucky? The Yueniao people held a strong army like Xingyue Lake Camp, but were still struck by lightning without a trace. Will there be quicksand under their feet? They swallowed themselves completely in a blink of an eye?
The most reliable force at my hand is Xingyue Lake Camp, followed by Old Man Shang, Yun Family and Gao Qiu
The most unreliable thing is definitely the official Song Dynasty official from Feng Chuan Lao Jia's attitude changes in the officialdom before and after the accident, it can be seen that although Jia Shixian, Cai Yuanchang, Han Jiefu, Shi Tongshu and others are friends with him, once they are out of the grinding and killing donkeys, there is no one who can make him bare his butt and never leave a pair of shorts for him. On the contrary, if he can stabilize his foothold in the court, like Liang Shidu and Huang, who voluntarily carry his family property and even his family members to serve, it is a pity that he is just a guest official, and he has a bad background. If he wants to stand firm, he needs a harder backer.
The hardest backer of Song State is not Song Master, but Jinshi - the exam is once every three years, and every time you admit about 300 people, the chance of being able to pass the exam is about the same as being struck by lightning.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly had an idea in his mind. Master Song had not married the official palace even though he was over 20 years old. Could it be that he was waiting for Li Shishi? Look at his pretty face, he is 70 to 80% similar to Huizong. If it was Huizong, his public relations manager would definitely be able to make it easy...
As soon as Cheng Zongyang thought of this, he immediately shook his head in his heart. If this Song Lord was really Huizong, he would have hidden Li Shishi tightly and would not even let him see his shadow.
Li Shishi is not an account genius like Yun Ruyao, but she looks weak on the outside, but she is very stubborn in her bones. The account she just read was the one she calculated in two days and was much more serious than herself.
Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Shishi who was looking through the accounts in the inner room, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart and invite her into the company. It was not that she was just a pity that she could not teach anything else. She just hoped that Lan Gu would come to Lin'an soon and teach her style in private so that she would not be delayed by her...
Haven't he come back yet?
Lin Qingpu Road: No
Wang Yuyu lost power in an instant, but it was okay for others to do it. Qin Hui was more busy than the Wang Party who had scattered money in a tree. In the past few days, he took care of Wang Yuyu's work in Yunzhou. He went to and from the Wang family all day long, and even let go of the money house temporarily.
Cheng Zongyang said: Prepare 30,000 gold baht and let Feng Dafa deliver it to the Ministry of Revenue and hand it over to Shilang Cai
yes
Feng Yuan didn't come back until the lights were held, and only said: Mr. Cai has counted it. He said he inherited the love of the young master and asked the young master to go to his house for a banquet tomorrow.
He is also the head of the Baochao Bureau and is a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Revenue. However, the Song State treats the Baochao Bureau as a temporary agency, and does not even have a yamen. He just gives Cheng Zongyang an official name. Speaking of which, Cai Yuanchang is also his immediate boss. It is really enough to ask himself to go to the house to have a banquet.
Seeing that the banknotes were successfully turned into coins, Cai Yuanchang probably regretted it, but the banknotes had already been in the hands of the banknotes, and it would not be so easy to redeem them again. Besides, in order to continue issuing banknotes next year, the Ministry of Revenue is not good enough to change the orders at will. So why did Cai Yuanchang look for him? He tried to pay money from him again?
Cheng Zongyang hesitated for a moment and said: Let me go back to Mr. Cai, I will definitely go tomorrow.
……
Cai’s mansion is outside Yongkin Gate, not far from West Lake, Cai Yuanchanggang was promoted from doctor to minister. The scale of the mansion was not large, but the mansion was exquisitely constructed, elegantly furnished, and the materials used for each brick and stone were extremely solid, rich and not exposed. It is obvious that Cai Treacheon has made a lot of money in the Ministry of Revenue in recent years.
Cai Yuanchang respects his identity and does not go out to greet him. When Cheng Zongyang comes in, he bows far under the eaves of the inner courtyard and smiles: Master Cheng, thank you for sharing the worries of the court.
Cheng Zongyang returned the greeting and said with a smile: This is an errand in the next job, how dare you let the minister thank you?
While speaking, someone gave the prepared gift to the inner courtyard
Cai Yuanchang laughed and personally went downstairs to hold Cheng Zongyang's arm and invited the guests to enter.
When Cheng Zongyang came, he thought repeatedly that since Cai Yuanchang held a banquet at home, what he talked about was definitely not about official affairs, and private affairs were not about Tongyuanxing.
Sure enough, both sides entered the table. After three rounds of wine, Cai Yuanchang took the initiative to ask about the business of Tongyuan Grain Bank. Previously, due to the battle in Jiangzhou, the prices of grain fluctuated. Cheng Zongyang made a lot of money, but these food banks of Tongyuan Bank did not get much benefit. Although they did not lose money, the prices of grain soared and the costs increased, occupying a lot of funds. Tongyuan Bank was greedy for the huge profits of the soaring grain prices, so he embezzled money from the government to speculate on grain.
The Ning Wang and the Liang family behind Tongyuanxing are both well-informed people. They know the court well well. They thought they could take this opportunity to make a big fuss. Unexpectedly, Taiyi Zhenzong suddenly expressed his attitude, which led to a sharp turn of the situation and saw that the grain business was defeated. In addition, the Liang family lost power, the Ministry of Revenue checked the accounts, and Ning Wang took the blame and took the lead in withdrawing the cash in the shop, throwing a mess to the Liang family. Cheng Zongyang showed his intention to take over. Ning Wang was happy to make a favor and happily handed over the shares to the Cheng family of Panjiang.
After Cheng Zongyang took over, he first purchased a batch of grain from Yunhaihang, the Yun family, and then injected a large amount of funds to make Tongyuanxing turn danger into safety. According to the private agreement, Cai Yuanchang no longer investigated Tongyuanxing's accounts, but the condition was to get 40% of the profit in vain. Even if it was only for private interests, Cai Yuanchang had to make Tongyuanxing's business better and better.
At this moment, when Cai Yuanchang asked about the business of the grain store, Cheng Zongyang immediately suffered a lot, anyway, Tongyuanxing was so miserable that the boss wanted to sell himself. No matter how difficult the situation was, it was not very out of order.
Cai Yuanchang pondered for a moment and said slowly: Wang Shi Jiangzhou's defeat and losses were uncountable. In order to avoid the shock of the middle school, the court intends to purchase a batch of grain to supplement Changping warehouses in various places.
Cheng Zongyang immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity. The official Song State wanted to reserve grain through local grain banks. If he could become an official supplier, what sales channels would he have to worry about?
But Cheng Zongyang was still concerned about the most important question: Where does the money come from?
Commercial tax in Qingzhou
Cheng Zongyang was confused. Hasn’t the commercial tax in Qingzhou been levied?
He remembered that Qingzhou paid 200,000 gold baht of fixed commercial tax to the Song Dynasty every year. As a condition for Qingzhou to implement de facto autonomy, 200,000 gold baht was only 400,000 jin. Compared with Qingzhou's commercial scale, this amount of money is really not much.
Cai Yuanchang raised his glass and touched him, and said leisurely: Master Jia negotiated with the Qingzhou General Chamber of Commerce, and the General Chamber of Commerce will pay 900,000 gold baht at a time as the commercial tax for the next five years.
A word suddenly popped up in Cheng Zongyang's mind: Cut the flesh and replenish the sores! Jia Shixian first borrowed a large amount of money from Qingzhou, then issued paper money, and now he collected the commercial taxes for the next five years. As long as he could cope with the current crisis, he would not care whether it would be a flood in the future.
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but say: Did Your Majesty agree?
Already approved
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but sympathize with Master Song again. A Yueniao man in front of him used twelve gold medals to blackmail the little Zhengtai. A Jia Shixian came later. He defeated Song's family in three or five seconds. Even if he killed Lao Jia, the Song's stall would be almost ruined. Speaking of which, the emperor of Jin is an idiot, and he is not as miserable as him.
It is all their own business, and both parties did not do anything else and decided directly at the table. Tongyuanxing, as the only supplier of Lin'an Changping warehouse, provided 600,000 stones of grain to the warehouse within three months, with a price of 12 silver baht per stone, totaling 360,000 gold baht. With the end of the Battle of Jiangzhou, the price of grain fell was a foregone conclusion. This price was set to be unusually high. If the Song Dynasty court requested a price cut, Cai Yuanchang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, would definitely be the first to be unwilling to - a slash was to pay out the money from his pocket.
After discussing the business, both sides felt much more relaxed. Cai Yuanchang picked up a chopstick of dried meat with his own hands and said with a smile: Come on, try the oriole made under the kitchen!
Cheng Zongyang tasted it. This was the first time he ate this thing himself. It felt like it was made of wine. It was salty, fragrant and delicious, and the taste was wonderful. He couldn't help but praise: It tastes good!
He picked up a piece and looked at it: Is this a sparrow? How did it be done?
Cai Yuanchang was in a good mood and said with a smile: The oriole is slightly smaller than the sparrow. After catching it, wash it with wine and wipe it dry. Put it into the jar and add wheat yellow, red cherry, pepper, fine salt, scallion shreds and other things, and lay it down layer by layer. Then seal it with rice dumpling leaves and wait for it to be braised out in the jar. Then it will be poured out. Add wine to soak the oriole meat in a very warm way. Eat it to strengthen the aphrodisiac and replenish the qi. If you like it, you will just give it a few more jars and then send it to your house later.
Then I'm not polite!
Both sides laughed. Although there was no kabuki music in this small banquet, they hit it off and could be considered as a happy host and host.
Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Zong raised his way and said goodbye to Cai Yuanchang personally sent it under the eaves, and then he broke up.
Cheng Zongyang waved the alcoholic smell on his body and was about to get on the bus, but he saw Feng Yuan's face turned blue and staring at a carriage next to him with a nervous expression.
Cheng Zongyang got into the car calmly and called Feng Yuan up. What's wrong? He hit a ghost?
Feng Yuan swallowed and spitted, Cheng Touer, I just saw someone...
He came over and whispered a few words in Cheng Zongyang's ear.
Cheng Zongyang stood up suddenly, you read that right!
Can't be wrong!
Feng Yuandao: Old Leopard also saw it
Old leopard!
The leopard puts his head in, what's the matter?
You just saw a young man holding a folding fan coming in?
Yes
Leopard said: I recognize him, he is the official of Ximen.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly woke up with a little drunkenness. Ximen Qing actually went out to Cai Yuanchang's mansion in a noble way. Could it be that Cai Yuanchang was also involved with the Black Demon Sea?
wrong!
If Cai Yuanchang was from the Black Demon Sea, they were too late to avoid the eyes and ears, how could they appear openly? They still let themselves see it? Could it be that Jian Yuji was deliberately demonstrating to herself?
Cheng Zongyang calmed down, frowned and thought for a while, and said: Let's go--As soon as he said a word, he suddenly closed his mouth and stared at the Cai Mansion Gate.
A young man with a romantic body came out of the gate with ease. He was wearing a white brocade robe, a corrugated hat, a big red and gold folding fan in his hand, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that attracted the soul while looking around. It was Ximen Qing's dog thief!
Cheng Zongyang watched coldly through the light green glass in the car window. He saw the servants of the Cai Mansion running forward and afterwards, and were kind to Ximen Qing. His attitude was more intimate than seeing him, the official, Ximen Qing also seemed to come and go in the mansion often, and he was familiar with everyone without any politeness.
The servants of the Cai family kept sending Ximen Qing to the side of the carriage, and each received a thick reward, and then left happily.
Ximen Qing lifted the curtain and seemed to be about to get on the bus. Suddenly, he put the curtain down and walked over and inserted the folding fan behind the collar, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and then said with a smile: It's indeed Brother Cheng! It's been a long time ago!
Since he had already revealed his hiding, Cheng Zongyang no longer hid. He raised his hand and pushed open the window and sneered: Master, we are not a few days away from last time we met, right?
If you don’t see each other for a day, what if we haven’t seen each other for three autumns, let alone how many days will we not see each other?
Ximen Qing didn't seem to have any grudges about the fight in the wild boar forest that day. He raised his eyebrows while saying that, and looked like he was chatting and laughing.
This dog thief's cultivation is not inferior to himself. Since he dares to wait for him here, he probably has a backhand only based on Feng Yuan, Leopard Head and himself. It is not easy to kill him.
The great official is really leisurely. Do you follow my carriage and eat dust every day?
My brother, I'm thinking a little bit
Ximen Qing smiled without hesitation: Brother Yu is only one step later than his brother. I heard that his brother was having a banquet with his godfather and did not dare to disturb him. Unexpectedly, he met him again when he went out. He was really destined to be
Cheng Zongyang was determined to scold him for being a squirting. He was stunned when he heard the word "godfather". After a while, he said: Is Mr. Cai your godfather?
Ximen Qing smiled and said: Let Brother Cheng laugh
A chill rose in Cheng Zongyang's heart, as if he saw Jian Yuji gently falling on the chessboard with a faint smile.
My own grain battle in Lin'an was a complete victory because of the banknotes. I got money that ordinary grain stores could not make for decades. Also because of the banknotes, all my profits were in the money shop. If Cai Yuanchang was from the Black Demon Sea, he controlled the Ministry of Revenue with one hand. His hard work would be like all my wedding dresses for the Black Demon Sea in vain.
Ximen Qing looked calm and smiled with a fan: I wonder when Brother Cheng is free, let’s have a cup of tea together?
Cheng Zongyang calmed down, was it Jian Yuji who asked you to come?
Ximen Qing did not admit it or deny it, and just smiled and said: Since Brother Cheng is a businessman, he will never refuse people thousands of miles away, right?
Cheng Zongyang suddenly smiled. He was busy these days and didn't bother to thank Xian Ji. Today is the third day of the lunar month, the eighth day of the lunar month, the ninth day of the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lun
OK
Ximen Qing happily took out a bamboo thorn and smiled: So, Brother Yu is waiting for the good news.
Cheng Zongyang put down the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage started immediately. He picked up the famous thorn handed over by Ximen Qing and took a look, then handed it to Feng Yuan. This dog thief actually had an open identity! Let the Imperial City Department investigate!
yes
Notify Lin Qingpu and contact Biaozi immediately to ask them to speed up. You must arrive in Lin'an before the tenth day of April!
Feng Yuan responded, and then couldn't help but say: Cheng Touer, do you really want to hold a banquet for them?
That's right
Cheng Zongyang sneered: Hongmen Banquet!
……
When I returned to Cuiwei Garden, I saw a white and tender ball rolling out from afar, Gao Yanei jumped and shouted happily: Master! You are back!
Cheng Zongyang jumped out of the car, what? Yanei was free today, come here for a walk?
Gao Yanei shouted: I am busy all day long, where can I have free time?
He pointed his finger and said: Take it today. I was busy fishing on the river in the morning. Cai Laoer called the chef of Fengle Building, fishing on the river, killing on the river, and cooking on the river, and tasted fresh! After fishing, I went to the North Field to watch Jusai. The waste from Baijin Society made me lose hundreds of gold jams. Xiao Liangzi lost worse than me. He took a flower in Nanyuan in the wing room and let us have a happy look. The brothers were originally going to Beiwazi. The disciples had been reciting for several days and didn't see the master. They came to pay their respects to you.
A disciple, it is rare that you have this filial piety
That's it!
Gao Yanei said with a saliva: Master, do you want your disciple to beat your legs?
It's fine
Cheng Zongyang said: What else do you have to do next to you? Hurry up and say, I'm busy here, don't say you don't have Ah
Gao Yanei laughed and said: Master, which yard was that pink head from that day? We brothers couldn't find it even after searching.
What? Addicted?
To be honest, the master said that the disciple is considered to have countless girls. It is the first time that he saw that big white butt twisted. Tsk tsk...
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: That's a private prostitute. Where do you go to find Ah? I won't have time these days. If you have time another day, let her find you.
Gao Yanei smiled happily, thank you, master!
After sending Gao Yanei, Cheng Zongyang first came to the quiet room
Lin Qingpu Road: Just got the news that Qin Da Diao was seriously injured and had already submitted a letter to request to be removed from his military post and return to Lin'an for rest
How heavy is it?
The specific injury is not clear
Where is the news?
The informant from Mingqing Temple
Lin Qingpu Road: It can be confirmed that Qin Da Diao was injured when fighting with Xiao Hou, but this matter is related to the secrets of the Jin and Song dynasties, and only the senior military officials and Song lords know about it.
Since the news came from Gao Qiu, the truth can be confirmed that Xiao Daoling was a general of Jin State and Qin Han was a general of Song State. The news that they met on the battlefield was equivalent to a confrontation between Jin and Song states. At present, the courts of both countries had their own difficulties, so they had to pretend to be confused and no one dared to expose it.
Cheng Zongyang touched his chin and said: I think it’s strange that Hou Xiao came across the river to beat the dog in the water. Could it be that he came to vent his anger for his son?
Lin Qingpu smiled, I guess that's the case
The little fox was almost killed by Qin Han outside Jiangzhou City. Xiao Hou was the only one. It was strange that he could hold back his anger. This dog fell into the water and restrained the most elite selection camp of the Song army, allowing Jiangzhou to successfully rob the Song army's baggage, and he also made a fortune. The methods of these old guys were smarter and more fierce than the other, which made him feel extremely stressed.
Qin Han returned to Lin'an, but he was a troubled man when he was troubled by Jiangzhou, but he was beaten up by thousands of people. It was fine for ordinary Song soldiers to meet in Lin'an. The chances of meeting him were slim. Even if he caught him, he might not be able to recognize him. Qin Han had fought with him in real life. As long as he looked at him, even if he wore a mask every day, he would probably recognize him.
Fortunately, the news came that Qin Han was seriously injured and could not move quickly. Even if Song Zhu agreed, it would take two or three months to arrive in Lin'an. When he could find a reason to go out for a few months, he would first find the Red Sun Holy Fruit for the little fox, and then let Gao Qiu find a way to kick the annoying eunuch Qin far away to the remote prefectures and counties. I don't think there would be much chance of meeting him.
Cheng Zongyang poured two cups of tea, handed it to Lin Qingpu, drank it all by himself, and then said: What about it?
Still running around the Wang family
Lin Qingpu said: Although Wang Yuyu was demoted, the Song Lord was nostalgic. He took into account the decentness of the old minister. He heard that he had also rewarded many items. It should be fine. It should be back in the past two days.
Lin Qingpu is in charge of information from various departments, with Tong Guan as an ear, and the news about Song Lord is also very wise. Wang Yuyu was completely driven out by Jia Shixian. Although Song Lord was not good at disobeying the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, he could imagine his reluctance. He thought that the Wang family would not be as unlucky as other families who lost power.
Come back later and let him see me
Cheng Zongyang said: I'll go see Shishi girl
The girl Shishi is still in the money shop and has not come back yet
Lin Qingpu paused for a moment, but two guests came to find Shishi girl
Cheng Zongyang put down the teacup, who?
First, it was Miss Shishi's relatives, and then it was the wife of the Liang family.
Cheng Zongyang put down the paper and said with a smile: It's hard to write carefully for you
Sun Tianyu said respectfully: My uncle's instructions, my nephew should do his best!
Although the surname Sun is well-behaved and does not ask a word, the loophole cannot be solved, Cheng Zongyang sighed, with a headache expression on his face, and said half casually and half embarrassingly: You also know that the original Wumu Palace is now being demolished, and the palace is next to Mingqing Temple. If the craftsmen at the Buddhist temple bathing ceremony disturb the nobles in the palace, my sins will be great.
Sun Tianyu suddenly realized and said with admiration: "Uncle is still thoughtful."
It’s almost the same as the performances of both sides. Cheng Zongyang took a sip of tea. Has the cause been found in the fire in the city that day been found?
Sun Tianyu said carefully: This matter is not handled by my nephew, but I heard that it was a small official who ignited the kitchen shed when boiling medicine. Fortunately, Jia Xiangye handled it properly, so it did not cause a disaster. Although some of the houses in the city were burned, the government offices were not affected. Only a few houses in the Imperial Medical Bureau were burned.
Cheng Zongyang kept muttering in his heart, could it be the Black Demon Sea? He was in the palace with Gao Qiu, and he had to deal with another lot of things. Gao Qiu was investigating this matter, but he never found any clues. Now it sounded like he had only burned several buildings in the Imperial Medical Bureau. The six important departments were not affected by the Great Inner. It seemed that he was a little suspicious and thought about everything on the Black Demon Sea.
After Sun Tianyu left, Lin Qingpu reminded: This person is not good at thinking and should not use it too much.
Cheng Zongyang said: There are shrimp paths, crabs have crab paths, and villains also have their uses. Just beware of him and don’t harm others. Is there any news from the fourth brother?
Deacon Qi personally sent Mr. Zhang and his party through Yuanshui. The road ahead was smooth and he could arrive in Lin'an in mid-April.
Lin Qingpu Road: Although Yi Biao and his party set off for a few days, they traveled day and night. I heard that they were already in front of Mr. Zhang and others.
Is there any news about Jiankang?
Lin Qingpu shook his head
Cheng Zongyang sighed. There is no news from Yun Ruyao so far. Her body is weak and now she is damaged again. If a cold poison occurs, I don’t know if I can support Yun Xiufeng and bring people back to Jiankang. With his friendship and methods, the safety of the Yun family is not a problem. It’s a pity that he is incompetent and has no time to go to Jiankang in person. He kowtowed to Brother Yun and others to apologize.
Cheng Zongyang packed up his messy mood and focused on calculating the accounts. He did not put down the accounts until the sun was in a state of decline.
From demolition to construction of the Wumu Palace, it will take at least one year to complete. Now Cheng's money house is still in the alley provided by the Ministry of Revenue. However, these days, the alleys around him have almost become a downtown city. In addition to Lin'an, merchants from various prefectures have also come to ask how to exchange paper coins.
Cheng Zongyang originally thought that small-denomination banknotes were difficult to implement. The third batch of small-denomination banknotes of one million gold baht were only used to exchange for real estate in the Wumu Palace. When they were pushed to the government, they no longer worried. However, Cai Yuanchang half-pressed and half-given and kicked the ball back, forcibly mortgaged the cash of 300,000 gold baht.
In the difficult situation, Qin Hui casually released a rumor in Banxian Hall. Not only did he exchange the banknotes for clean exchange, but he even exchanged the banknotes he had recovered before with such a treacherous minister. He couldn't help but secretly applaud the case. Even Jia Shixian was afraid.
At this point, all three batches of banknotes in Cheng's money house were issued. Since the third batch was directly exchanged in the money house, all the cash entered the bank's vault as Qingzhou's grain funds arrived one after another. I just took stock of the accounts and converted them into gold baht. The total cash in my hand was nearly 1.8 million, and the banknotes were still 570,000, and there were 50,000 gold baht reserved by the Yunzhou semicolon.
Of the 2.43 million banknotes circulating outside, 600,000 were held in Yun's hands, and 1.83 million banknotes scattered on the market were close to one to one for the amount of cash reserved. The situation was not generally optimistic. Even if the worst situation occurred, all the banknotes were cashed out and I had enough cash to hold on.
But from the perspective of liabilities, 400,000 is the principal provided by the Song State, 300,000 is the loan from Yun's family, and Cai Yuanchang mortgaged the banknotes to himself, if he deducted the reserved principal of the liability, he would pay twice the banknotes with 1.2 million cash.
Although the situation is still optimistic, this is the result of investing all your capital in the money house. Once there is a storm in the money house, it is still unknown how much profit can you save?
The weakest link may be Yun's attitude. In addition to the cash he owed Yun's 300,000 gold baht, Yun's hand also had 600,000 gold baht of paper money. If Yun turned against him, he could take away his 900,000 gold baht of cash at once, which was equal to half of his capital. Although the possibility is very small, it cannot be said that there is no
On the other hand, there must be a warning. Since Qin Hui can use rumors to push all the banknotes, and there is another useless rumor about the banknotes. Maybe all the people from Lin'an will come to run the money to the end. As long as there is a cash payment of gold baht that cannot be exchanged, the sign of Cheng's money house will be smashed.
In order to reflect the credit of the banknotes, Cheng Zongyang asked the two grain stores that Yun secretly controlled, Tongyuan stores, and the building materials and items purchased by the traitors who rushed to fire during the fire. When they were sold, they all listed and received banknotes. At the same time, they promised the craftsmen recruited on the construction site that the wages were paid every day, but half of them were paid by banknotes. Not to mention that the banknotes are now popular in Lin'an. Even if the banknotes are not cared about, as long as they finish their work every day, they can use these papers to exchange for real grain from the grain store, and the craftsmen have nothing to do.
Cheng Zongyang even discussed with the monks of Mingqing Temple that the merit money and incense money in the temple were all received, and the money shop was responsible for exchange. If Mingqing Temple was willing to store the money received in Cheng's money shop, the interest rate provided by the money shop to the temple was three points for the annual interest rate Mingqing Temple was not vague. He collected a favor fee and agreed to receive the banknotes, but failed to reach an agreement on the task of depositing - Mingqing Temple himself also lends out the outside world, and the interest rate is as high as 50% annual interest rate. Such a heroic method made Cheng Zongyang look more and more impressed with these black-hearted monks who released these usury loans.
Nowadays, residents in Lin'an can buy grain at the grain store, or buy urgently in short supply bricks and tiles outside the city, and can also buy incense, paper, fire, candles, donate merits and deals in various places to buy the collected banknotes at Cheng's Money House to exchange for cash. Cheng's Money House then releases some of the banknotes by wages. Although the overall scale is very small, at least these banknotes have begun to be circulated. The more people start to contact the banknotes, the more they can experience the convenience brought by the banknotes.
Cheng Zongyang hugged his shoulders and looked at the twilight outside the window from February 17th. In less than two months, Cheng's money house was in its infancy. The military field department was in its infancy, the head of the Baochao Bureau, the Taishi Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion, the Imperial City Department, the Da Nei, and the six officials... The relationships that should be settled in various places should be settled, and he also picked up a Tongyuan Grain Store for free... To the viewers, he was simply advancing and making progress, but so smooth, but Cheng Zongyang felt a little uneasy.
I was an unemployed, useless white-collar worker, and I could call the wind and rain in the Six Dynasties. How could those seniors who traveled through time in the past be so unlucky? The Yueniao people held a strong army like Xingyue Lake Camp, but were still struck by lightning without a trace. Will there be quicksand under their feet? They swallowed themselves completely in a blink of an eye?
The most reliable force at my hand is Xingyue Lake Camp, followed by Old Man Shang, Yun Family and Gao Qiu
The most unreliable thing is definitely the official Song Dynasty official from Feng Chuan Lao Jia's attitude changes in the officialdom before and after the accident, it can be seen that although Jia Shixian, Cai Yuanchang, Han Jiefu, Shi Tongshu and others are friends with him, once they are out of the grinding and killing donkeys, there is no one who can make him bare his butt and never leave a pair of shorts for him. On the contrary, if he can stabilize his foothold in the court, like Liang Shidu and Huang, who voluntarily carry his family property and even his family members to serve, it is a pity that he is just a guest official, and he has a bad background. If he wants to stand firm, he needs a harder backer.
The hardest backer of Song State is not Song Master, but Jinshi - the exam is once every three years, and every time you admit about 300 people, the chance of being able to pass the exam is about the same as being struck by lightning.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly had an idea in his mind. Master Song had not married the official palace even though he was over 20 years old. Could it be that he was waiting for Li Shishi? Look at his pretty face, he is 70 to 80% similar to Huizong. If it was Huizong, his public relations manager would definitely be able to make it easy...
As soon as Cheng Zongyang thought of this, he immediately shook his head in his heart. If this Song Lord was really Huizong, he would have hidden Li Shishi tightly and would not even let him see his shadow.
Li Shishi is not an account genius like Yun Ruyao, but she looks weak on the outside, but she is very stubborn in her bones. The account she just read was the one she calculated in two days and was much more serious than herself.
Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Shishi who was looking through the accounts in the inner room, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart and invite her into the company. It was not that she was just a pity that she could not teach anything else. She just hoped that Lan Gu would come to Lin'an soon and teach her style in private so that she would not be delayed by her...
Haven't he come back yet?
Lin Qingpu Road: No
Wang Yuyu lost power in an instant, but it was okay for others to do it. Qin Hui was more busy than the Wang Party who had scattered money in a tree. In the past few days, he took care of Wang Yuyu's work in Yunzhou. He went to and from the Wang family all day long, and even let go of the money house temporarily.
Cheng Zongyang said: Prepare 30,000 gold baht and let Feng Dafa deliver it to the Ministry of Revenue and hand it over to Shilang Cai
yes
Feng Yuan didn't come back until the lights were held, and only said: Mr. Cai has counted it. He said he inherited the love of the young master and asked the young master to go to his house for a banquet tomorrow.
He is also the head of the Baochao Bureau and is a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Revenue. However, the Song State treats the Baochao Bureau as a temporary agency, and does not even have a yamen. He just gives Cheng Zongyang an official name. Speaking of which, Cai Yuanchang is also his immediate boss. It is really enough to ask himself to go to the house to have a banquet.
Seeing that the banknotes were successfully turned into coins, Cai Yuanchang probably regretted it, but the banknotes had already been in the hands of the banknotes, and it would not be so easy to redeem them again. Besides, in order to continue issuing banknotes next year, the Ministry of Revenue is not good enough to change the orders at will. So why did Cai Yuanchang look for him? He tried to pay money from him again?
Cheng Zongyang hesitated for a moment and said: Let me go back to Mr. Cai, I will definitely go tomorrow.
……
Cai’s mansion is outside Yongkin Gate, not far from West Lake, Cai Yuanchanggang was promoted from doctor to minister. The scale of the mansion was not large, but the mansion was exquisitely constructed, elegantly furnished, and the materials used for each brick and stone were extremely solid, rich and not exposed. It is obvious that Cai Treacheon has made a lot of money in the Ministry of Revenue in recent years.
Cai Yuanchang respects his identity and does not go out to greet him. When Cheng Zongyang comes in, he bows far under the eaves of the inner courtyard and smiles: Master Cheng, thank you for sharing the worries of the court.
Cheng Zongyang returned the greeting and said with a smile: This is an errand in the next job, how dare you let the minister thank you?
While speaking, someone gave the prepared gift to the inner courtyard
Cai Yuanchang laughed and personally went downstairs to hold Cheng Zongyang's arm and invited the guests to enter.
When Cheng Zongyang came, he thought repeatedly that since Cai Yuanchang held a banquet at home, what he talked about was definitely not about official affairs, and private affairs were not about Tongyuanxing.
Sure enough, both sides entered the table. After three rounds of wine, Cai Yuanchang took the initiative to ask about the business of Tongyuan Grain Bank. Previously, due to the battle in Jiangzhou, the prices of grain fluctuated. Cheng Zongyang made a lot of money, but these food banks of Tongyuan Bank did not get much benefit. Although they did not lose money, the prices of grain soared and the costs increased, occupying a lot of funds. Tongyuan Bank was greedy for the huge profits of the soaring grain prices, so he embezzled money from the government to speculate on grain.
The Ning Wang and the Liang family behind Tongyuanxing are both well-informed people. They know the court well well. They thought they could take this opportunity to make a big fuss. Unexpectedly, Taiyi Zhenzong suddenly expressed his attitude, which led to a sharp turn of the situation and saw that the grain business was defeated. In addition, the Liang family lost power, the Ministry of Revenue checked the accounts, and Ning Wang took the blame and took the lead in withdrawing the cash in the shop, throwing a mess to the Liang family. Cheng Zongyang showed his intention to take over. Ning Wang was happy to make a favor and happily handed over the shares to the Cheng family of Panjiang.
After Cheng Zongyang took over, he first purchased a batch of grain from Yunhaihang, the Yun family, and then injected a large amount of funds to make Tongyuanxing turn danger into safety. According to the private agreement, Cai Yuanchang no longer investigated Tongyuanxing's accounts, but the condition was to get 40% of the profit in vain. Even if it was only for private interests, Cai Yuanchang had to make Tongyuanxing's business better and better.
At this moment, when Cai Yuanchang asked about the business of the grain store, Cheng Zongyang immediately suffered a lot, anyway, Tongyuanxing was so miserable that the boss wanted to sell himself. No matter how difficult the situation was, it was not very out of order.
Cai Yuanchang pondered for a moment and said slowly: Wang Shi Jiangzhou's defeat and losses were uncountable. In order to avoid the shock of the middle school, the court intends to purchase a batch of grain to supplement Changping warehouses in various places.
Cheng Zongyang immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity. The official Song State wanted to reserve grain through local grain banks. If he could become an official supplier, what sales channels would he have to worry about?
But Cheng Zongyang was still concerned about the most important question: Where does the money come from?
Commercial tax in Qingzhou
Cheng Zongyang was confused. Hasn’t the commercial tax in Qingzhou been levied?
He remembered that Qingzhou paid 200,000 gold baht of fixed commercial tax to the Song Dynasty every year. As a condition for Qingzhou to implement de facto autonomy, 200,000 gold baht was only 400,000 jin. Compared with Qingzhou's commercial scale, this amount of money is really not much.
Cai Yuanchang raised his glass and touched him, and said leisurely: Master Jia negotiated with the Qingzhou General Chamber of Commerce, and the General Chamber of Commerce will pay 900,000 gold baht at a time as the commercial tax for the next five years.
A word suddenly popped up in Cheng Zongyang's mind: Cut the flesh and replenish the sores! Jia Shixian first borrowed a large amount of money from Qingzhou, then issued paper money, and now he collected the commercial taxes for the next five years. As long as he could cope with the current crisis, he would not care whether it would be a flood in the future.
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but say: Did Your Majesty agree?
Already approved
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but sympathize with Master Song again. A Yueniao man in front of him used twelve gold medals to blackmail the little Zhengtai. A Jia Shixian came later. He defeated Song's family in three or five seconds. Even if he killed Lao Jia, the Song's stall would be almost ruined. Speaking of which, the emperor of Jin is an idiot, and he is not as miserable as him.
It is all their own business, and both parties did not do anything else and decided directly at the table. Tongyuanxing, as the only supplier of Lin'an Changping warehouse, provided 600,000 stones of grain to the warehouse within three months, with a price of 12 silver baht per stone, totaling 360,000 gold baht. With the end of the Battle of Jiangzhou, the price of grain fell was a foregone conclusion. This price was set to be unusually high. If the Song Dynasty court requested a price cut, Cai Yuanchang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, would definitely be the first to be unwilling to - a slash was to pay out the money from his pocket.
After discussing the business, both sides felt much more relaxed. Cai Yuanchang picked up a chopstick of dried meat with his own hands and said with a smile: Come on, try the oriole made under the kitchen!
Cheng Zongyang tasted it. This was the first time he ate this thing himself. It felt like it was made of wine. It was salty, fragrant and delicious, and the taste was wonderful. He couldn't help but praise: It tastes good!
He picked up a piece and looked at it: Is this a sparrow? How did it be done?
Cai Yuanchang was in a good mood and said with a smile: The oriole is slightly smaller than the sparrow. After catching it, wash it with wine and wipe it dry. Put it into the jar and add wheat yellow, red cherry, pepper, fine salt, scallion shreds and other things, and lay it down layer by layer. Then seal it with rice dumpling leaves and wait for it to be braised out in the jar. Then it will be poured out. Add wine to soak the oriole meat in a very warm way. Eat it to strengthen the aphrodisiac and replenish the qi. If you like it, you will just give it a few more jars and then send it to your house later.
Then I'm not polite!
Both sides laughed. Although there was no kabuki music in this small banquet, they hit it off and could be considered as a happy host and host.
Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Zong raised his way and said goodbye to Cai Yuanchang personally sent it under the eaves, and then he broke up.
Cheng Zongyang waved the alcoholic smell on his body and was about to get on the bus, but he saw Feng Yuan's face turned blue and staring at a carriage next to him with a nervous expression.
Cheng Zongyang got into the car calmly and called Feng Yuan up. What's wrong? He hit a ghost?
Feng Yuan swallowed and spitted, Cheng Touer, I just saw someone...
He came over and whispered a few words in Cheng Zongyang's ear.
Cheng Zongyang stood up suddenly, you read that right!
Can't be wrong!
Feng Yuandao: Old Leopard also saw it
Old leopard!
The leopard puts his head in, what's the matter?
You just saw a young man holding a folding fan coming in?
Yes
Leopard said: I recognize him, he is the official of Ximen.
Cheng Zongyang suddenly woke up with a little drunkenness. Ximen Qing actually went out to Cai Yuanchang's mansion in a noble way. Could it be that Cai Yuanchang was also involved with the Black Demon Sea?
wrong!
If Cai Yuanchang was from the Black Demon Sea, they were too late to avoid the eyes and ears, how could they appear openly? They still let themselves see it? Could it be that Jian Yuji was deliberately demonstrating to herself?
Cheng Zongyang calmed down, frowned and thought for a while, and said: Let's go--As soon as he said a word, he suddenly closed his mouth and stared at the Cai Mansion Gate.
A young man with a romantic body came out of the gate with ease. He was wearing a white brocade robe, a corrugated hat, a big red and gold folding fan in his hand, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that attracted the soul while looking around. It was Ximen Qing's dog thief!
Cheng Zongyang watched coldly through the light green glass in the car window. He saw the servants of the Cai Mansion running forward and afterwards, and were kind to Ximen Qing. His attitude was more intimate than seeing him, the official, Ximen Qing also seemed to come and go in the mansion often, and he was familiar with everyone without any politeness.
The servants of the Cai family kept sending Ximen Qing to the side of the carriage, and each received a thick reward, and then left happily.
Ximen Qing lifted the curtain and seemed to be about to get on the bus. Suddenly, he put the curtain down and walked over and inserted the folding fan behind the collar, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and then said with a smile: It's indeed Brother Cheng! It's been a long time ago!
Since he had already revealed his hiding, Cheng Zongyang no longer hid. He raised his hand and pushed open the window and sneered: Master, we are not a few days away from last time we met, right?
If you don’t see each other for a day, what if we haven’t seen each other for three autumns, let alone how many days will we not see each other?
Ximen Qing didn't seem to have any grudges about the fight in the wild boar forest that day. He raised his eyebrows while saying that, and looked like he was chatting and laughing.
This dog thief's cultivation is not inferior to himself. Since he dares to wait for him here, he probably has a backhand only based on Feng Yuan, Leopard Head and himself. It is not easy to kill him.
The great official is really leisurely. Do you follow my carriage and eat dust every day?
My brother, I'm thinking a little bit
Ximen Qing smiled without hesitation: Brother Yu is only one step later than his brother. I heard that his brother was having a banquet with his godfather and did not dare to disturb him. Unexpectedly, he met him again when he went out. He was really destined to be
Cheng Zongyang was determined to scold him for being a squirting. He was stunned when he heard the word "godfather". After a while, he said: Is Mr. Cai your godfather?
Ximen Qing smiled and said: Let Brother Cheng laugh
A chill rose in Cheng Zongyang's heart, as if he saw Jian Yuji gently falling on the chessboard with a faint smile.
My own grain battle in Lin'an was a complete victory because of the banknotes. I got money that ordinary grain stores could not make for decades. Also because of the banknotes, all my profits were in the money shop. If Cai Yuanchang was from the Black Demon Sea, he controlled the Ministry of Revenue with one hand. His hard work would be like all my wedding dresses for the Black Demon Sea in vain.
Ximen Qing looked calm and smiled with a fan: I wonder when Brother Cheng is free, let’s have a cup of tea together?
Cheng Zongyang calmed down, was it Jian Yuji who asked you to come?
Ximen Qing did not admit it or deny it, and just smiled and said: Since Brother Cheng is a businessman, he will never refuse people thousands of miles away, right?
Cheng Zongyang suddenly smiled. He was busy these days and didn't bother to thank Xian Ji. Today is the third day of the lunar month, the eighth day of the lunar month, the ninth day of the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lunar month, the lun
OK
Ximen Qing happily took out a bamboo thorn and smiled: So, Brother Yu is waiting for the good news.
Cheng Zongyang put down the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage started immediately. He picked up the famous thorn handed over by Ximen Qing and took a look, then handed it to Feng Yuan. This dog thief actually had an open identity! Let the Imperial City Department investigate!
yes
Notify Lin Qingpu and contact Biaozi immediately to ask them to speed up. You must arrive in Lin'an before the tenth day of April!
Feng Yuan responded, and then couldn't help but say: Cheng Touer, do you really want to hold a banquet for them?
That's right
Cheng Zongyang sneered: Hongmen Banquet!
……
When I returned to Cuiwei Garden, I saw a white and tender ball rolling out from afar, Gao Yanei jumped and shouted happily: Master! You are back!
Cheng Zongyang jumped out of the car, what? Yanei was free today, come here for a walk?
Gao Yanei shouted: I am busy all day long, where can I have free time?
He pointed his finger and said: Take it today. I was busy fishing on the river in the morning. Cai Laoer called the chef of Fengle Building, fishing on the river, killing on the river, and cooking on the river, and tasted fresh! After fishing, I went to the North Field to watch Jusai. The waste from Baijin Society made me lose hundreds of gold jams. Xiao Liangzi lost worse than me. He took a flower in Nanyuan in the wing room and let us have a happy look. The brothers were originally going to Beiwazi. The disciples had been reciting for several days and didn't see the master. They came to pay their respects to you.
A disciple, it is rare that you have this filial piety
That's it!
Gao Yanei said with a saliva: Master, do you want your disciple to beat your legs?
It's fine
Cheng Zongyang said: What else do you have to do next to you? Hurry up and say, I'm busy here, don't say you don't have Ah
Gao Yanei laughed and said: Master, which yard was that pink head from that day? We brothers couldn't find it even after searching.
What? Addicted?
To be honest, the master said that the disciple is considered to have countless girls. It is the first time that he saw that big white butt twisted. Tsk tsk...
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: That's a private prostitute. Where do you go to find Ah? I won't have time these days. If you have time another day, let her find you.
Gao Yanei smiled happily, thank you, master!
After sending Gao Yanei, Cheng Zongyang first came to the quiet room
Lin Qingpu Road: Just got the news that Qin Da Diao was seriously injured and had already submitted a letter to request to be removed from his military post and return to Lin'an for rest
How heavy is it?
The specific injury is not clear
Where is the news?
The informant from Mingqing Temple
Lin Qingpu Road: It can be confirmed that Qin Da Diao was injured when fighting with Xiao Hou, but this matter is related to the secrets of the Jin and Song dynasties, and only the senior military officials and Song lords know about it.
Since the news came from Gao Qiu, the truth can be confirmed that Xiao Daoling was a general of Jin State and Qin Han was a general of Song State. The news that they met on the battlefield was equivalent to a confrontation between Jin and Song states. At present, the courts of both countries had their own difficulties, so they had to pretend to be confused and no one dared to expose it.
Cheng Zongyang touched his chin and said: I think it’s strange that Hou Xiao came across the river to beat the dog in the water. Could it be that he came to vent his anger for his son?
Lin Qingpu smiled, I guess that's the case
The little fox was almost killed by Qin Han outside Jiangzhou City. Xiao Hou was the only one. It was strange that he could hold back his anger. This dog fell into the water and restrained the most elite selection camp of the Song army, allowing Jiangzhou to successfully rob the Song army's baggage, and he also made a fortune. The methods of these old guys were smarter and more fierce than the other, which made him feel extremely stressed.
Qin Han returned to Lin'an, but he was a troubled man when he was troubled by Jiangzhou, but he was beaten up by thousands of people. It was fine for ordinary Song soldiers to meet in Lin'an. The chances of meeting him were slim. Even if he caught him, he might not be able to recognize him. Qin Han had fought with him in real life. As long as he looked at him, even if he wore a mask every day, he would probably recognize him.
Fortunately, the news came that Qin Han was seriously injured and could not move quickly. Even if Song Zhu agreed, it would take two or three months to arrive in Lin'an. When he could find a reason to go out for a few months, he would first find the Red Sun Holy Fruit for the little fox, and then let Gao Qiu find a way to kick the annoying eunuch Qin far away to the remote prefectures and counties. I don't think there would be much chance of meeting him.
Cheng Zongyang poured two cups of tea, handed it to Lin Qingpu, drank it all by himself, and then said: What about it?
Still running around the Wang family
Lin Qingpu said: Although Wang Yuyu was demoted, the Song Lord was nostalgic. He took into account the decentness of the old minister. He heard that he had also rewarded many items. It should be fine. It should be back in the past two days.
Lin Qingpu is in charge of information from various departments, with Tong Guan as an ear, and the news about Song Lord is also very wise. Wang Yuyu was completely driven out by Jia Shixian. Although Song Lord was not good at disobeying the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, he could imagine his reluctance. He thought that the Wang family would not be as unlucky as other families who lost power.
Come back later and let him see me
Cheng Zongyang said: I'll go see Shishi girl
The girl Shishi is still in the money shop and has not come back yet
Lin Qingpu paused for a moment, but two guests came to find Shishi girl
Cheng Zongyang put down the teacup, who?
First, it was Miss Shishi's relatives, and then it was the wife of the Liang family.
