Chapter 450: The Rich Mu Donghou
Zhang Xiaowu didn't recognize this third child, but after listening to Pi Er's explanation, he became serious. Hou Laosan may be a rat poop in Mu Donghou's eyes, but rat feces also have the effect of rat feces, and he can't easily move other people's rat feces. Zhang Xiaowu naturally knew that this Mu Donghou, as the owner of Wanheng Yinzhuang, Mu Donghou Lin Feng was not a brainless rich man.
Zhang Xiaowu's understanding of the forces in Longdu City came from the prince's secret book, the second was from the detailed description of Mrs. Yuan, and the third was Ruan Qingwen's introduction. Now there are five princes, eight earls, seventeen marquises, forty-two dukes, and two hundred and four viscounts in Longdu City, and he is the only one who is very interested in this Mudong Marquis.
Mudong Hou Lin Feng was born in a Lingnan maritime merchant family, running boats on the beach all the year round, traveling almost all over the overseas, with a large merchant fleet, and even his own naval army. Lin Feng initially relied on trading and external plunder, obtained great wealth, and opened Wanheng Silver Village. Because of the huge wealth support, Wanheng Yinzhuang became the largest Yinzhuang ticket number in the empire overnight. In the early years of Dade, due to the continuous deficit of the household department, the household department Shangshu had to make a proposal to Emperor Dade and borrow money from Wanheng Yinzhuang. As a result, Lin Feng had to get the situation of the empire, and successively lent four million taels of silver to the household department, which solved the financial difficulties of the empire at once. And it was precisely because of Lin Feng's generosity that Emperor Dade gave him a rare title of Marquis of Sanpin Mudong.
According to Ruan Qingwen's speculation, the wealth of Lin Feng's family is at least 20 million taels, and his wealth far exceeds that of the royal Xuanyuan clan.
Zhang Xiaowu noticed Mu Donghou because he remembered a wealthy man named Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty, who was confiscated by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was loved by Ming fans, confiscated his family property and sent it to Yunnan - because Shen Wansan did one of the most intolerable things for Lao Zhu, he saw that the emperor was too poor to reward the soldiers with money, and he arrogantly asked himself to reward the three armies for the emperor.
Shen Wansan fully embodies what it means to die if you don't die, and the reason why he dies is because he is too rich, and everyone who has money is jealous. Lin Feng is also very rich, rich enough to lend money to the country, but he doesn't want any interest. Since ancient times, the most feared of the rich were those who had the power, and what they most wanted to join was a country ruled by merchants, but the countries ruled by merchants often died out after a period of glory, such as the historical Kingdom of Venice.
However, the difference between Lin Feng and Shen Wansan is that Lin Feng is not an arrogant person, he knows how to measure himself very well, and he also knows how to hide himself. Although Wanheng Yinzhuang has money, it can only be opened in the safest state capital, for Lin Feng, what he has to do is not to continue to create wealth, but to keep wealth.
Although Lin Feng is low-key, his three sons are not low-key, and these three sons can be said to be classics of cheating fathers.
The eldest son, Lin Yuan, likes beauties, and collects twelve beautiful concubines, known as the twelve beauties of the Mudong Hou Mansion - it sounds as if the old man of Mudong Hou Lin married twelve beauties, and what makes Lin Feng even more angry but helpless is that Lin Yuan often shows off his twelve beauties, saying that the emperor only has three wives, and he has married twelve, nine more than the emperor. This kind of arrogant words made Lin Feng so angry that he couldn't wait to slap his eldest son, but fortunately, although Lin Yuan was lustful, he was also the best at doing business, presiding over the family's silver village business.
This son Lin Cheng likes BMW horses, and he is one of the best among the people who carnival in the inner city of Beijing, and often rides his various BMWs to compete with others. As for the horse stepping on the people, it often happens, but who makes his family rich, and the compensation for the death of the trampling is that although the people complain, they have nothing to say. It's just that Lin Cheng and the sons privately formed an organization called the BMW Brotherhood, and when the family had something, others immediately helped, and they had the demeanor of a domineering son.
Compared with the first two brothers, the third son Lin Dong is obviously more advanced, Lin Dong likes to raise dogs, he loves dogs like life, he has raised more than 180 dogs of different colors, and there is a dog park in the city outside Longdu, known as the first dog village in the world. Ordinary people raise dogs just to take care of the home or be idle, but ordinary people can't afford to raise so many dogs, but Lin Dong not only raises them, but also enjoys them. Originally, raising a dog is not a big problem, but Lin Dong often takes his own dog army to go shopping, as the saying goes, dogs fight people, there is a master who does not know the height of the sky, and the more than 100 dogs immediately became vicious dogs, and there are many women who bite and bite children to death.
"I don't know when the emperor will do anything to him?" Zhang Xiaowu had a dark way in his heart, so he continued to chat with Pi Er about this interesting anecdote about the dragon. And the biggest anecdote recently is that someone ran to the palace of Nanyang County to propose marriage, and was beaten up by the lord of Nanyang County. I don't know who sent that kid to disgust the family of the king of Nanyang County, knowing that the king of Nanyang County is loyal to the country, and the children in the family need to keep filial piety for three years.
Although the king of Nanyang County has no son, his daughter is not a good stubble, and because of his loyalty to the country, the little county lord killed someone, and the emperor must pardon his innocence, and it was really lucky that the person was not killed.
Zhang Xiaowu thought of Shi Zhongqiu's round apple face and a pair of eyes with a smile forever, and knew by looking at her face that she was an open-minded and cheerful person, if someone hadn't deliberately disgusted the Nanyang County Palace, she would definitely not be so angry and hurtful. Thinking that he came to Longdu for the second time and lived in Longdu for a long time in the future, he felt that he should visit his old friends, after all, he didn't have many friends in Longdu.
After saying goodbye to Pi Er, Zhang Xiaowu walked leisurely and leisurely, watching the flowers of Longdu.
There are generally nine or eleven east-west streets in Longdu Fang City, seven or eight north-south roads, and there can be 2,000 households in a square city, and even 10,000 households in a large square city. However, the main reason is not that the city is small, but that there are few people in the city, and the large households occupy too much area, and the space in the city is limited, so so many households can only live.
On the streets between Fangcheng and Fangcheng, some small traders sat on the side of the road with their burdens to sell, they were all sporadic vendors, some sold shoes and hats, some sold snacks, some sold toys, some sold jewelry, and even Zhang Xiaowu saw that there were those selling ear pickers - he immediately bought a handful.
While picking his ears, he sat at a tea stall and observed the life of the people of Longdu.
A few black-bearded Kunlun slaves carried a sedan chair across the road, and people laughed at Kunlun Nu's appearance and stupidity, and Zhang Xiaowu was almost choked by tea - stupid people who said that the saint, how can you laugh at Uncle Hei, haven't you heard of Shanda Treasure?
