The news that Zhou Zheng had agreed to go to the banquet of the Yang family quickly spread throughout Yingtianfu, and quickly expanded, spreading to nearby Suyang and other places.

The Yang family was the most excited, and as soon as they heard the news, they were busy from morning to night.

The Yang family's business quickly got a lot of orders, the original business entanglement disappeared abruptly, and the Yang family's door was full of traffic.

Not only businessmen, but also some officials suddenly came to the door, extremely enthusiastic, and they kept saying that they were 'Brother Yang', as if they had been old friends for many years.

The Yang family is really lively, even Yang Huyi, who has taken a back seat, has to come out and be busy.

The night before the banquet, everyone in the Yang family was in a meeting.

Yang Si was extremely excited, and said: "Dad, third uncle, I just counted, our troubles are all gone, and the income in the past two days is comparable to our last year." ”

Qin You also looked excited at this time, and said, "I really didn't expect that the energy of Zheng Xibo was so great, and a banquet would have such a great effect. ”

Other shopkeepers also spoke: "It's because we're too narrow-minded, and we have always wanted to keep our distance from the government, but now we understand that we can't do without it." ”

"There must be a distance, but there must also be a backer. We must look at the matter of conquering Xibo carefully. ”

"Hey, these are the last words, for now, we have to organize this banquet. Now this banquet is no ordinary banquet, we have to come up with something. ”

"Yes, yes, this is the point. If we don't take out something, even if we don't care about it, we will have to spit it back ten times and a hundred times more if we don't care about it......

"So, what to do? Tomorrow is the feast, is it too late now? ”

The shopkeeper talked about everything, gossiping, saying everything, but there was no specific way.

Yang Huyi and Yang Huzhi glanced at each other, and their eyes were staggered, as if something had been settled.

When the voices of the shopkeepers gradually lowered, Yang Huyi looked majestic, took out the identity of the big owner, and said in a deep voice: "Yang will contact your peers and set an example with the Yang family." First, donating 200,000 yuan of silver to the imperial court to alleviate the emptiness of the treasury is a donation, not a loan. Second, donate 100,000 acres of land to support the imperial court's reform. Third, all the industries of the Yang family use Singapore currency. Fourth, my Yang family will issue an announcement tomorrow to fully support the imperial court to change the law and benefit the people. ”

When everyone listened, their expressions changed immediately.

Let's not talk about donating money and land, just saying that the announcement is issued to support the imperial court to change the law, it will inevitably be attacked by a group, those who oppose the change of the law, there are many people in Nanzhili, and even the governor of Nanzhili has a headache, not to mention that they are a small businessman?

The hall was quiet for a while, and a shopkeeper said: "The owner, this matter is not trivial, and you have to be cautious." ”

"Yes, host, it's okay for us to feast on Zheng Xibo, but there's no need to be so thorough, right? The expedition to Xibo is not a backer who does not fall. ”

"It's better to take the announcement in front and back, let's accept it, and say to Zheng Xibo in private, it's the same......"

Everyone quarreled again, and the excitement of Deli just now was gone.

Yang Hu knocked on his crutches, suppressed the noise in the hall, and said lightly: "You can see the advantages and disadvantages of this matter." The disadvantage is that once Xibo falls, our Yang family will follow. The good thing is that the expedition to Xibo is like the sky, and our Yang family will definitely soar in the next five years, and even be rich! All of you here, too,"

Everyone immediately calmed down and thought seriously.

This is a dilemma, they are all 'duty' businessmen, they do not want to be involved too much with the government, especially with the powerful of the current dynasty, they want to maintain a secret relationship, not only to enjoy the benefits, but also to avoid being involved in the future.

Seeing that the owner made up his mind and gambled once, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and their expressions were hesitant.

Qin You stood up at this time and said in a deep voice: "Since the owner wants to bet, then let's bet once!" If you win the bet, you will lay a foundation for your children and grandchildren, and it is not a big deal if you lose the bet, you will start all over again! ”

Everyone was stunned, remembering the past when the owner led them to lay the great foundation of the Yang family.

"Okay, then bet once!"

"Bet!"

"There won't be any terrible results, let's hide a hand, and it won't harm our children and grandchildren!"

"What do you say, woe to your children and grandchildren! We are just merchants, and no matter how big people do, they just want our silver, what can they do with us? ”

"Bet!"

Seven or eight big shopkeepers shouted one after another.

Seeing this, Yang Hu smiled and said, "Then there's nothing to say, get ready!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

A group of people stood up and strode outside.

To donate land and silver, and to use new dollars, they have to do a lot of things.

The only ones left in the hall were Yang Huyi, Yang Huzhi, and Yang Huyi's two adopted sons, Yang San and Yang Si.

Yang Huyi took a deep breath, stood up on crutches, and said, "I won't say more nonsense, let's fight, and Bo him will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime!" ”

The others were breathing rapidly, clenching their fists one after another, their eyes burning.

Zhou Zheng is now in power, the power is in his hands, relying on him, he can definitely fight and win an unprecedented glory and wealth!

Zhou Zheng sat in the Yamen of the Governor of Nanzhili, solving problems for Lu Daqi on the one hand, sorting out various things on the other hand, and gaining an in-depth understanding of the problems and difficulties encountered in changing the law.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Liuzhen came in from outside and said, "Second young master, there is still half an hour." ”

Zhou Zheng sighed and said, "Then let's go." ”

Putting together the notebook in his hand and putting down the pen, Zhou Zheng got up and said, "Let's go to the boat and sit for a while." ”

This was planned, and Liu Liuzhen responded and went to arrange it.

Soon, Zhou Zheng and his entourage got on a flower boat and floated on the Qinhuai River.

In front of him sat Hu Jianghe, the head of the household department, and Shen Yunchang, the shopkeeper of Nanzhili, the ticket number of the Zhou family.

Hu Jianghe looked at the flower boats outside, the warblers sang and danced, the poems and wine sang and harmonized, and shook his head and said: "The Qinhuai River is famous all over the world, even if the thieves break through the capital, there is no stop here, it is really a businesswoman who doesn't know how to hate the country......

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "What's the matter with Guan Shangnu?" There is no buying and selling, where to kill. ”

Hu Jianghe was stunned for a while, and it took a while to come to his senses, and said, "What the adults said is true." The merchant girl may not be ignorant, those who listen to the music must know, but they are just drunk and dreaming of death, and they don't introspect. ”

Shen Yunchang was silent and kept his duty.

Zhou Zheng looked at a flower boat not far away, and said, "Above are Mao Bijiang, Hou Fangyu and others?" ”

Liu Liuzhen stretched out his head to look at it and said, "It's them." After they returned to Nanzhili, they attacked the imperial court all day long, and a large number of people gathered around them. ”

Hu Jianghe's brows furrowed, and his face was indifferent.

These people are really not like words, they are engaged in wind and rain in the capital, cheating in the imperial examination, selling official positions, offering and accepting bribes, and also have the face to criticize the court?
