Chapter 619: Fighting Dogs in Beijing
In the study of General Liu Yi's Mansion in Beiping, Liu Huan was looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, but the slightly impatient expression on his face proved that he was not attentive at this time, Liu Yi had the idea of marrying the Yang family for him before leaving, although he was not willing to arrange the marriage of his children, but Liu Huan's status as a wife was negligent, and Liu Yi had to follow the customs. Situ Yang Biao was already the head of the old ministers in the court at this time, and marrying him would be of great benefit to Liu Huan in the future.
This Miss Yang Yan is the daughter of Yang Biao's son Yang Wen, she is thirteen years old this year, she was born with a dignified character, and she has the style of being a lady, Cai Yan and the old lady are extremely happy, and Yu'er is also satisfied, as for Liu Yi, she doesn't have too many opinions, this little girl has just entered junior high school in the later life, and now she wants to become her daughter-in-law, no matter how she thinks about it, he feels a little awkward, so he simply spread his hands and handed over the matter to Cai Yan to take care of, anyway, Mrs.'s ability is beyond doubt.
Originally, the family affairs of the two families must wait until Liu Yi returns to discuss in detail, but recently the old lady is quite sick, even after Mr. Hua Tuo and Wang Xinran visited, it is difficult to say that it can be treated, but the doctor can not violate the laws of nature, Liu's mother's experience is a huge damage to her health, although she can be cured, the damage is irreparable after all! If it weren't for Liu Yi and Cai Yan's careful care, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get to today, but in terms of the average life expectancy at the end of the Han Dynasty, more than fifty years old can be regarded as a positive life, this news Cai Yan didn't dare not inform her husband, even if she knew that the military situation was urgent at this time, filial piety was a human avenue, and it was especially valued by the world at that time.
In this way, it is extremely logical to use Liu Huan's happy event to the old woman, and Yang Biao also has a deep understanding after getting Liu Yi's handwritten handwriting, these two are combined, today Yang Wen's wife Zou went to Liu's mansion to formally discuss the marriage of the two children, although Liu Yi is not in Beijing, but this matter has been roughly decided before and Cai Yan still has enough reasons.
may be because of genetics, Liu Huan has some resistance to this marriage, although Yang Yan, the young lady of the Yang family, is a beauty, but she does not have much attraction to him, and because of his uncle Yang Xiu's open-mindedness, Liu Huan's impression of the Yang family is not very good. However, the words of the parents' order matchmaker are the most reasonable of the day, and he does not dare to violate them, in fact, if you want to say that the idea of inheritance is not from Liu Huan's father, but from his grandfather, the behavior of Liu Yi's parents back then can also be called shocking, this is where Liu Yi appreciates his father in this life, although he has never seen it, but it is conceivable that he should be the most affectionate and sexual person.
"Big brother, do you work hard again? Today, my mother and Mrs. Yang are talking about your big things, and you don't go to see it, when can't you read the book. At this time, Liu Xin trotted into the study, usually the relationship between the two brothers is very good, Cai Yan has always taught Liu Xin to respect his brother, and Liu Xin also looks at this brother differently because of his mother's virtue of treating himself.
"What's so good, just follow my mother's orders, I hope it can really be as people say, my things can make my grandmother better!" Liu Huan first said impatiently, but when he mentioned his grandmother, his tone was extremely respectful, the Liu family's intergenerational relatives have conventions, Liu Yu was to Liu Yi back then, and Liu's mother is to Liu Huan now, and he may be more cordial than his father when it comes to being cordial Liu Huan and his grandmother. Now the old man's illness is also the most worrying part of his heart, although he is fifteen years old, he can experience a lot of maturity than his peers, and at this time he is already an adult, as the son of the Liu family, his father is fighting outside, he also has to pick up the burden of the Liu family.
"Big brother, don't worry, my mother and several aunts have said that as long as the eldest brother is happy, my grandmother and her old man will be able to recover, just now I secretly took a look in the back hall, sister-in-law, she is really beautiful." Compared with Liu Huan's calm personality, Liu Xin is much more lively, he is not yet ten years old at this time, and he has always been good friends with his eldest brother, and he has no scruples.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, in my mother's eyes, your wife will definitely be a beauty in the future, okay, there must be something wrong with you not going to the academy today but coming to me, let's say, is there a lack of money to spend again?" Liu Xin said this, Liu Huan was also a little more relaxed, and said with a smile at the moment, with his understanding of his younger brother, he must have asked for something when he came to him today. Cai Yanping is very strict with his children, Liu Xin has no special treatment in terms of money, Liu Huan is also only this year, he will never refuse the requirements of his younger brothers and sisters, and he will not lack this thing.
"The little brother who gave me last time hasn't spent it yet, let me tell you... Liu Xin shook his head with a smile, and then stepped forward and bit his ear with Liu Huan, but at this time, his face was positive.
Speaking of this matter, it is also related to the uncle of the little brothers, Zhang Hai does not have much ability, but his wife is a person with a clear heart, over the years, with the care of Liu's mother, the net worth has become bigger and bigger, and the previous time I even moved the idea of marrying my daughter to Liu Yi as a concubine, which scared Lang Sheng at that time, and it was a fool of the past, but then she started the idea of a casino business, and used her sister's slightly apologetic psychology to run it in Beiping.
With the continuous prosperity of Beiping, the two oldest businesses of brothels and gambling halls are also generally prosperous, and the fame of *** has caught up with the Closed Moon Pavilion, Liu Yi did not stop this, he knew that these were also things he could not stop, rather than let them operate underground, it is better to put them on the surface to restrict, so if you want to obtain the right to operate these two places, you must meet certain conditions, and in terms of quantity, the Beiping Mansion will also be controlled, in addition to ***, the rest of the green buildings are operated by several major businesses, The largest gambling house in Beiping, Laiyue Pavilion, is the industry of the Zhen family in Jizhou, and Liu Yi's requirements for the latter are even stricter.
Among the many industries of the Liu family, there are no two projects that can bring huge profits, Liu Yi still has his own principles in his heart, some things he is unwilling to do, as for the family's income, he is not short of these two pieces, but the Zhang family is not subordinate to the Liu family in name, Huaxia has been a practice since ancient times, and Zhang Hai has also paid enough deposits in accordance with the rules, and he knows the temperament of his nephew very well, and he dare not be touched, of course, the whole process is extremely streamlined for him, Who else in Peking now dares not to give Liu Yi face?
Although Lang Sheng was opposed in his heart, he couldn't go against his mother's wishes, and his uncle had always been law-abiding, so he could only let it go after being advised. In addition to the normal project, there is one thing that is the most eye-catching, that is, dog fighting, there is a special venue in Zhangjia Casino to operate this project, once it is launched, it will get the crazy response of those sons of the family, it is extremely prosperous, Liu Yi has not seen it with his own eyes, but I heard Liu Liu say that every five days, the dog fighting arena is full, quite a bit of the ancient Roman Colosseum. Later, there were many people who spent a lot of money, and this place is also famous.
Liu Yi also had to sigh at the spirit of those businessmen's research, their own efforts to make the commercial circulation of the subordinate territory unprecedentedly prosperous, on this basis many things that were originally not lost in this era also came into being, for example, the major merchants in order to facilitate the transaction between them will use an iron card as a proof of payment, after all, many times the transfer of money is not convenient, and the reputation of these large merchants is guaranteed enough, over time many other merchants also use this iron card, This is already the prototype of the silver ticket, and in Liu Yi's memory, there was no Jiaozi until the Northern Song Dynasty, which has to be said to be his contribution to the times.
Of course, the state government is now planning to run the government, with the credibility of the official, the persuasiveness is undoubtedly more sufficient, and it can also promote the prosperity of commerce again to the greatest extent, Liu Yi's plan is to monopolize the operation, and the economic lifeline must be firmly in the hands of the government.
A few days ago, there was a merchant from the Western Regions in Zhangjia Casino, the fighting dog it brought was extremely fierce, and it was in the field for two months, although it was all parties out of the horse but no one could fight and win, the merchant was also arrogant, after each victory, the smug look saw that all the sons of the family were clenched with steel teeth, and over time it became a battle between the Han and the alien race, and the children of the family were more enthusiastic with this reason, but the result was disappointing, no matter how hard they tried to find the top fighting dogs, But he was always defeated by the fighting dogs like small lions in the hands of the merchants of the Western Regions, and the news also reached Liu Xin's ears.
My Han is the Heavenly Empire, how can I allow a Yidi generation to be powerful, the children of the Liu family are deeply influenced by Liu Yi in this regard, that kind of national self-esteem is extremely strong, if it is replaced by other Liu Xin, there may not be any ideas, but there is a white giant wolf in the general's mansion, listening to the mother and the aunts talk about it is even a tiger to be afraid, I think that if Xiaobai appears, he will definitely be able to defeat the fighting dogs of the merchants in the Western Regions, but although Liu Xin has this thought, he does not dare to act alone, and after thinking about it, he found the eldest brother here, If he agrees, he's sure of it.
"Big brother, my father often said that all my big men must first be self-reliant, back then, with the power of the Huns Wuhuan was not subdued by my father, now that my father is not here, we can't weaken his reputation, and if the eldest brother wins the merchant of the Western Regions, this reputation will be great." Seeing that the eldest brother hesitated when he heard this, Liu Xin said again, he had put a lot of effort into this matter, and it was rare for him to come up with so many truths as a ten-year-old child.
Originally, Liu Huan's self-respecting identity would not be like his younger brother, and it would be laughing to say that this matter was not good for martial arts, but when he heard Liu Xin's last words, his heart moved, if he really made a move, wouldn't he become the leader of those children of the family? This is a benefit, and the power of the white wolf can be seen with his own eyes, when the tiger is really invincible, he thought for a moment and then said: "When is the period of dog fighting this time?" ”
