Chapter Eighty-Seven: Vientiane Rises to a New Place

With the passage of the cabinet, there are naturally very few voices of opposition above the court.

Under the singing and harmony of Gao Gong and Emperor Longqing, and the tacit attitude of other bigwigs who have nothing to do with themselves, the establishment of the Royal Bank was decided smoothly.

As a result, Shen Chongming has a new title, and he has appointed the Royal Bank to prepare for the ambassador. This errand has no rank, and it is only a temporary strong man, but even those who are outside the officialdom know that the rights contained in it cannot be underestimated. The appointment of a person in charge is enough to make people with heads and faces in the capital come together in front of Shen Chongming. If he weighs it properly, he can make friends with many current elites, which will have immeasurable benefits for his future career.

However, as a party, Shen Chongming didn't have so much thought, and the person in charge of the Royal Bank had already made up his mind that there was no one else except Xiao Ershao. First, this is his brother who knows his roots, and he is absolutely trustworthy. Second, although this kid never leaves money every day, he has no concept of silver at all, and what he cares about is still the original idea, that is, to prove his worth. Third, over the years, when it comes to doing business, he is definitely an expert, and he is the only one who knows him several times.

So after taking the errand, Shen Chongming didn't procrastinate, and without waiting for others to come to the door to ask for an official position from him, he released the news that the person in charge of the Royal Bank was Xiao Ershao.

This trick can be called a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, which not only blocks the mouths of those who are thoughtful, but also saves yourself from offending others.

In the blink of an eye, the capital in early summer is more prosperous. Good news from all over the country is frequent, with a sum of income constantly remitted to the account books of the household, the court is full of joy, and vaguely, a prosperous era is coming.

On April 18, the fourth year of Longqing, on the right side of the Royal Commercial Bank, a commercial street that is now famous in Beijing, with the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums, the Royal Bank was officially established.

The first director of the Royal Commercial and Trade Bank, Xiao Pengcheng, the middle rank of the five products of the household department, Xiao Pengcheng Xiao, stood in front of the main gate with his little belly that stood out slightly at some point, and kept arching his hands, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff with a smile.

"Oh, outside the director, welcome, welcome." Seeing the appearance of Dong Maochang, the big proprietor of the Maochang weaving shop in the capital, Xiao Ershao raised his feet to greet him.

This person can be called a partner to Xiao Ershao. However, all the fabrics produced by the Maochang weaving house were sold to the royal trading house, and outsiders did not want to interfere even if the price was raised.

Nowadays, the trade is prosperous in various places, and the cloth can become a sought-after commodity for the necessary goods to go to sea, and once upon a time, the weaving industry is not developed north of the Yangtze River, and there was once a strange scene of no price. However, Xiao Ershao relied on the hard work of the door, coupled with the integrity of the business and the fairness, so the supply of goods of the royal trade house has never been interrupted. Among them, to a large extent, it relies on Maochang Weaving to provide supply.

Listening to Brother Shen, because of this, even the old man of the emperor praised himself in front of him, saying that he was a rare business wizard, and even threatened to find a chance to meet him.

Although our second young master is now considered to be famous, compared to the two brothers, it is really much worse, and the most important thing is that he has not seen the holy face for so many years. If this is spread to his hometown of Shuzhong, it will be a shameful thing.

So he said to Xiao Ershao that this director can be regarded as his benefactor.

"Hehe, congratulations to Lord Xiao and congratulations to Lord Xiao, just a small salute is not a respect." The director is more than 60 years old, but in front of Xiao Ershao, his face is full of flattery.

Xiao Ershao regarded him as a business partner, but he didn't dare to put himself in such a position. After all, he is just a small businessman, although he now holds the supply of cloth, and everyone in the business world is in awe, but it is not worth mentioning in front of the government, especially Xiao Ershao, a figure with hands and eyes.

"Hehe, hurry up inside, please." Xiao Ershao stretched out his hand and said, then lowered his voice and said, "Dong Yuanwai, my eldest brother will come here later, and I will introduce you below." ”

Dong Yuanwai looked stunned, and then said with great joy: "Oh, Lord Xiao, thank you, thank you." ”

Shen Chong's fame is all over the world, and everyone knows that he is a purple person who is red in front of the emperor right now. If you can get to know him, even if it's just a one-sided relationship, it's enough for others to envy you when you say it.

"Hehe, you're welcome." Xiao Ershao was modest, and walked in with a grateful voice.

Wave after wave of guests, although they are all well-known figures in the business community of the capital, but there are not many in the officialdom, Xiao Ershao looked back and forth, and his face couldn't help but darken.

He knew all these officials, all of whom were from the maritime yamen, and he didn't see any of the other yamen. This is called how can Xiao Ershao not be angry, he is now also a five-grade official, the opening ceremony of this Royal Bank is not as good as the Royal Commercial and Trade Bank at the beginning, and this group of dog officials is too faceless! He, could it be that the two million taels of silver they invested didn't want to go?

"The Governor of the Maritime Yamen, the commander of the Shangzhi Guard, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Marquis Shen of Dingyuan has arrived!" A long list of titles was sung loudly, and Shen Chongming walked in with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Brother Shen, you can be regarded as here, look, what does this court mean." As soon as he saw Shen Chongming, Xiao Ershao immediately went up and complained.

The situation here, Shen Chongming is naturally in the palm of his hand, and he was very angry at first, but after thinking about it a little, he was relieved.

"Hehe, this is their lack of foresight, and when they see our success in the future, they will definitely regret missing today's event."

This simple sentence naturally couldn't make Xiao Ershao discourage. But since Brother Shen said so, this matter can only be like this, the only thing he can do is to do this errand well, wait for the white flowers to be taken out, and let those guys who look down on people be ashamed.

Having said that, Xiao Ershao couldn't help but be depressed, and the smile on his face was very reluctant. As for the matter of agreeing to introduce the directors to Shen Chongming, he forgot all about it.

"The emperor has arrived!" Just when the atmosphere was a little dull, a high song shocked the audience, Xiao Ershao, who had just picked up the wine glass with a smile and wanted to liven up the atmosphere, directly dropped the cup in his hand to the ground.

"What are you doing stupidly, don't take the car quickly." Shen Chongming's boss was full of arrogance, and directly kicked him to his senses.

Xiao Ershao showed excitement on his face, and stumbled forward in response. I saw a figure in front of me, and Xiao Er, who was excited, was about to pay homage without looking at it, "Xiaomin Xiao Pengcheng, see ......"

"Get up!" With a low shout, Xiao Ershao, who was about to kneel on the ground just after bending his knees, was held up by a powerful big hand. Looking up, Xiao Ershao suddenly blushed and his neck was full of embarrassment, God, it turned out to be Liu Shouyou, who hadn't shown up for a long time!

"The emperor is behind." Leaving a word, Liu Shouyou took two steps and hid to the side. His eyes were not idle, and he looked directly at Shen Chongming. I haven't seen him for so long, but this guy is getting more and more imposing.

"Hehe, Mr. Gao, it's quite lively here." With this voice, Emperor Longqing finally appeared in Xiao Ershao's sight.

After experiencing the oolong incident just now, Xiao Ershao also calmed down a lot, and when he saw that the person in front of him was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he knew that it was no longer wrong, so he quickly lifted his shirt and knelt on the ground, and bowed: "Xiao Pengcheng, the director of Weichen Royal Bank, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"Hehe, Xiao Aiqing quickly calm down, get up and let me take a good look. Everyone, please be exempt, hehe. "Emperor Longqing was very face-saving, and he actually stretched out his right hand to help Xiao Ershao.

This can make Xiao Ershao excited to death, "Thank you to the emperor, thank you to the emperor." ”

To say that Xiao Ershao is also a talent, at this time, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but be very satisfied in his eyes. "Yes, he is also a young talent like Shen Aiqing, hehe."

was praised by Emperor Longqing like this, Xiao Ershao, who used to be sharp-tongued, didn't know how to answer for a while, just stood where he couldn't stop giggling. However, this naïve state fell in the eyes of Emperor Longqing, but he liked it even more, he was an honest guy.

"Brother Liu, why is the emperor here?" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Chongming took a few steps forward and asked quietly.

"Hehe, brother, I went back to Beijing yesterday, and I heard that you opened here today, and I originally wanted to come to congratulate you after reporting on my work. But halfway through, I heard that someone said that the people of the court would not be involved, brother, I am going to make the decision for you, no, I was stunned to fool the emperor. Liu Shouyou's face was full of smugness, those guys at both ends of the first rat had to come in less than half an hour!

Shen Chongming smiled slightly, but there was a faint hint of coldness. "Brother Liu, can you tell the little brother that it was the adult who released this, Li? Sheet? ”

"Hehe, you're going to think about it, the cabinet people have never used these little tricks." Liu Shouyou whispered.

Shen Chongming frowned, then understood, and said with a smile: "This old eunuch, it seems that he is greedy again, hehe." ”

"Oh, to tell you something from the heart, don't say he's greedy, even my brother and I are envious. By the way, our brothers in Jinyiwei are running around outside all day long, but this salary is pitiful, remember to subsidize some if you have extra money. Liu Shou had a treacherous look

"Uh...... Hehehe, don't hide it from the eldest brother, the younger brother is still preparing for the ambassador, why don't you arrange for us to come in, first, to supervise, and secondly, you can get some benefits justifiably, right? "Shen Chongming is also a veteran, and he has never suffered losses.

"Hehe, with your kid, I want to get some benefits from you, but I'm in the wrong place." Liu Shouyou's smile became thicker, not to mention, this is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Liu Shouyou's guess is not very accurate, it is said that Emperor Longqing has just entered the royal bank on the front foot, and a large group of officials came behind him.

"Hehe, it's a good start." Some shrill laughter rang out, and I saw Feng Bao walking in with two gift boxes in his hands.

"Grandpa Feng, it's too late, hehe." Liu Shouyou was very faceless, and let Feng Bao not get off the stage in front of everyone.

Feng Bao had a secret hatred in his heart, according to his words in the palace, it was this Liu Shouyou who instigated the emperor to come forward, and he was ruined by him.

"Oh, official business is really busy, this is not a matter of urgency, but fortunately I missed the auspicious time." As he spoke, he walked up to Emperor Longqing with a flattering face.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, such a grand scene is a rare encounter the year before last, and it is really a sign of a new dynasty in Vientiane."

"Hehe, you'll say." Emperor Longqing smiled on his face, and he was also happy in his heart, looking at the situation in front of him, it really meant like this. Chapter Eighty-Seven: Vientiane Rises to a New Place
