But this one sat down very politely and calmly on the dining bed of the master's seat, shook the feather fan gently, and said to Gao Yue, "When the feast is only one-third, Lang Jun is in such a hurry to leave?" There is a curfew outside, so Lang Jun may as well stay here, the wine and the bed have already been prepared, but I don't know if Lang Jun likes Pingkangfang's Zhongnanqu, or the orchid in this mansion? ”

"What interests me most in my later life is the identity of the master."

"Well, you can't lie in front of real people. A certain is actually Xiao Yi from Xiaohaichi in Xishi, this tooth man is my subordinate, no wonder the two orchids said that they had never seen each other before. ”

Oh, it's actually Xiao Yi, a legendary figure who is also a Confucian, a businessman and a Taoist, no wonder he is dressed like this, the absolute richest man in Chang'an City.

After speaking, Xiao Yi smiled and greeted Bachelor Gao to sit down again, we are not drunk or happy tonight.

"The reputation of the third drum in high school, I have heard of it for a long time, but unfortunately I was entangled in mundane affairs before, but today I finally saw it, and I really got what I wanted in my life."

Just when Gao Yue was impatient with these fake politeness, Xiao Yi looked at the thin dark clothes and the cyan undershirt worn by Gao Yue, couldn't help but reddened his eyes, sighed, and put down the feather fan, "Life is really unsatisfactory, wishful thinking!" ”

Wu Cailuan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "Xiao Shi has such a big industry, but he still sighs unsatisfactory, unsatisfactory?" ”

But Gao Yue looked at the richest man Xiao coldly, and probably knew that he was going to start performing.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi continued to sigh and said, "I originally abandoned Confucianism and business in order to chase tithes, but now although I am famous, I can then abandon business and follow Confucianism and fight for a glorious reputation, but it is difficult. ”

Then, Xiao Yi shook his head excitedly and poked his chest with his hands, "The biggest mistake in my life is to start Xiaohaichi, if I were given another chance, I would not have used the only remaining two hundred dollars to do business, but tried my best to take the spring exam again!" ”

Got it, the familiar sense of immediacy, Gao Yue hurriedly raised his hand, preventing Xiao Yi from pretending to be deep and fierce, otherwise he would be unable to hold back and rush up to smoke this-Fortunately, you made a fortune Xue Yaoying told me a long time ago, but he didn't want to completely dismantle the stage, so he asked, "Why did Master Xiao say this?" ”

"Alas, my Tang officials have power, scholars have pens, military generals have swords, and we businessmen only have money left, so in the eyes of people from all walks of life, they are all things to eat."

Oh, could it be that you're just a businessman and still want to be in power? It seems that the businessman clings to power to earn a lot of money, but soon fears that power will swallow him at any time, so he longs for the combination of money and power, both under his own control, and puts forward all kinds of slogans and proposals to fool people.

Seeing Gao Yue's look of approval, Xiao Yi continued in a low voice, "It is estimated that Master Xue Xinruo also told you that the money in my Xiaohaichi is from the Lanling Xiao clan and the Boling Cui clan, and the military town is mainly from the Anxi camp and Xichuan Fangzhen. A few days ago, when Yang Juan was the prime minister, he asked the magnates in the capital to demolish the water concoction, and Gao Langjun should know about this matter. ”

Gao Yue bowed his head and said that Yang Xiang thought about the people of the whole capital and wanted to alleviate the problem of water shortage during the spring drought, but it was a pity that he died.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi's indignant expression immediately floated, "Yang Xiang is certainly kind, but after he left, some people in the court continued to make a fuss about his decree before his death, and asked Boling Cui's Weizhou House to take the lead in demolishing the five water buildings, so why should the Cui family be demolished alone?" Will the Cui family demolish his family's water curium? ”

Yes, Gao Yue remembered at this time that when he was in the Guozijian at that time, Cui Kuan in the imperial history had taken the initiative to promise Yang Juan that he would not only demolish his own Yuetang, but also dismantle his own water sink, and Yang Juan greatly appreciated it - in fact, Yang Juan's original intention was to take Cui's "knife" first, and then logically asked other magnates to demolish all the water sinks in the forest one after another, so as to restore the transportation capacity and irrigation of the water system of Chang'an City. But before he could implement Yang Xuan, he left, so naturally someone grabbed this handle and asked the Cui family to dismantle the Yuetang and Shui Yan alone.

"I don't know who is behind the scenes?"

When Xiao Yi heard this, she sneered, "Of course it's the Fenyang Royal Mansion of Qinrenfang, who doesn't know that Guo Ziyi's son Shang's Shengping princess is not satisfied with the two fat powder pills in Baiqu, and has coveted Cui's water paste for a long time, and the purpose of her and the Guo family is to first buy through the Yushitai to make a poisonous impeachment, make a fuss about Yang Xiang's testament, and then coerce the Cui family to transfer the water to her at a low price, she is the beloved daughter of the current holy lord, and she can only keep this water ......"

So that's the case, it seems that this Xiao Yi is entrenched in Xiaohaichi, but he is the money agent of the Xiao family and the Cui family, presumably he also has the advantage of these water sinks, otherwise he would not be so distressed.

And the reason why he came to find himself was that he was not afraid of the sky and the earth when he was drumming, and secondly, he was afraid that Xue Yaoying secretly wrote a letter to connect and wanted to give himself a chance to get ahead.

"Dare to ask Master Xiao, what is the annual output of these five water plants?"

Xiao Yiming didn't say dark words, and told him directly, "Each water hall has an interest of 1,500 yuan every year, which can be worth a Chinese scholar." For this water, the brothers Cui Ning and Cui Kuan have to get the first 4,000 guan every year, and the rest will be left for me, and some of them will be used to maintain the operation of the Xichuan Jiedu envoy in Beijing. ”

Tang, the monthly salary of the Chinese scholar is one hundred, plus miscellaneous items of about one hundred and twenty, Xiao Yi is right.

Hearing this, Gao Yue's eyes rolled: Now I am also thirsty for money, just the hundred guan that Xue Yaoying borrowed, and the four hundred guan stored in the Xiaohaichi cabinet shop, although it is enough for me to live alone, it is not enough for me to operate Jinshi and Taofen Shed, in addition to all kinds of other operating expenses.

Before that, let me test the sincerity of this Xiao Yi.

So Gao Yue laughed and said to Xiao Yi, "This matter is easy to do. ”

Xiao Yi was overjoyed, and then he waved his hand to tell the tooth and the orchid to all retreat, Wu Cailuan was still squatting on the food bed and eating and drinking, Gao Yue asked her to take the food bowl with her and go to the next room to eat slowly.

After everyone left, Xiao Yi took out a small ebony box, and then opened the lid, Gao Yue felt a dazzling scene: there were two horseshoe gold inside.

"These are worth sixty yuan, please Lang Jun smile and accept it, and be sure to give advice."

Go, just sixty times and you want to send me away? Think beautifully.

Gao Yue shook his head, and then said, "Gao acts on weekdays, not for personal reasons, but only for the survival of Guozijian and Taofenpeng. If Xiao Shi is interested in getting acquainted with my friend, these two horseshoe gold will not be charged for a penny, but Xiao Shi's water will probably have to be tapped more in the future. ”

"Hey, it's me. This horseshoe gold bachelor wants to accept it, and it doesn't hurt to have multiple taps on the water pipe, as long as it can be accepted by Cui Xiangxiang and Cui Zhongcheng brothers. ”

Gao Yue saw that the conditions were also ripe, so he whispered to Xiao Yi, "Tear down two, sell one, and keep two." ”
