Chapter 110: The Gathering
In the drunken immortal building of Bianjing City, dignitaries and dignitaries dressed in brocade clothes, scholars in Confucian robes, and beautiful women are constantly coming and going.
Ying Xuan sat in the room, and Xiao Feihong next to him stood there with a restrained expression, motionless.
"People have brought it?"
"Yes, they have been arranged below."
"Okay, I don't care about these people. I'm only looking for you if something happens! Remember? ”
"Remember!"
"Master Xuan!"
Outside the courtyard, Wang Xinyu's shouts were heard......
"You go first!"
"No!"
Ying Xuan walked out of the room, watching Wang Xinyu running over happily, Ying Xuan greeted him with a smile, "Miss Wang, what's the matter?" ”
"There will be a banquet in Jiuxianfang tomorrow, and when the time comes, the famous children and ladies of the whole Bianjing City will come over, and my father will let me take a look, so ......"
Before Wang Xinyu finished speaking, Ying Xuan glanced at Wang Xinyu speechlessly, and then said, "So you escaped a day in advance and want to spend a day with me!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xinyu smiled suddenly, her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she said with a smile, "Hehe, Master Xuan, you are really ice and snow smart!" ”
"Don't, last time I let you work with me for half a month, that disciple of Wang Ge Lao, Qin Hui, personally brought you back, but afterwards they warned me~" Ying Xuan made a scared look.
On that day, Ying Xuan saw Qin Hui and saw that his words and deeds seemed to be sophisticated, but he was undoubtedly much worse than the old fritters who had been in officialdom for decades like Wang Ge. Ying Xuan deduced that Qin Hui at this moment was not enough to pose a threat to Yue Fei. When he really has the energy to knock Yue Fei down, at least it will be possible after taking over Wang Boyan's position.
"Hmph~ Master Xuan, you are the son of the Qin State, even if you are the king, you have to treat each other politely, Brother Qin Hui is usually such a teacher, how can it be as you say? If you don't borrow, you won't borrow~ Hmph! ”
Wang Xinyu grimaced at Ying Xuan, turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing Wang Xinyu turn around to leave, Ying Xuan shouted at her, "Miss Wang! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xinyu immediately turned around and looked at Ying Xuan with a happy face, "Master Xuan has changed his mind?" ”
"Miss Wang misunderstood, I heard that the younger generation of talents in the Song Kingdom is full of talents, and I hope to be lucky enough to see it. I just want to ask Miss Wang, I don't know when it will be tomorrow? ”
"It's time! (7 p.m.)
After speaking, Wang Xinyu pouted and left the courtyard angrily.
Beside him, Yuan Bao saw Ying Xuan looking at Wang Xinyu's departing back with a smile, and asked, "Childe, are you going to go to the Nine Immortals Fang?" ”
Ying Xuan smiled meaningfully and said, "It's been almost three months since we came to Bianjing City, don't you think it's a pity not to meet the younger generation of the Song Kingdom?" ”
"What's the pity, it's been almost three months since you passed this year, and you're going back to Qin in nine months, and you'll be separated by thousands of miles from these people at that time, so why bother."
"Hahaha~ Just take advantage of these nine months, I want to take a good look at the seedlings of the Song Kingdom, whether they have the qualifications to grow into big trees! Now these people may not be useful, but in ten or twenty years, the temples of the Song Kingdom will be spoken by them! ”
"Yuanbao, you go, Atai called over!"
Yuan Bao originally remembered the meaning of Ying Xuan's words, and when he heard that Ying Xuan was going to call Ah Tai over, he immediately looked at Ying Xuan with resentment, and said, "Isn't it the same if Childe has something to hand over to me?" ”
"You? Okay, you go to Jiuxianfang for me to find the roster of the main Liufang for tomorrow's banquet. ”
"Okay childe!"
Seeing Yuan Bao leave with joy on his face, Ying Xuan shook his head helplessly.
If you want to talk about the person who is most loyal to himself, Ying Xuan undoubtedly thinks that it is Yuanbao, followed by Zhang Yi, Atai and the like, as for Xiao Feihong, he can't even talk about loyalty.
But all the descendants of the Ying clan will be selected by the Ying clan to grow up with the master from an early age. Chen Yu was selected by the Gong clan for Ying Ke, Po Jun was selected by the Gong clan for Ying Hao, and Yuan Bao was selected by the Gong clan for Ying Xuan.
In fact, ingots can be selected from the selection of the public family, and the qualifications are not bad, but the predecessor of Ying Xuan only knows how to read and write every day, and he has never carved this piece of jade that follows him, and today, ten years later, it has become a stubborn stone.
Ying Xuan deliberately pampered Atai in front of Yuanbao, just to make Yuanbao have some crises, so that he could learn to pay attention to people, learn to play tricks, and buy people's hearts.
These days, there have indeed been some changes in ingots, but their thoughts are still a little simple.
"That's it!"
Ying Xuan was a little disappointed in Yuanbao after all, but after all, the two have been with each other for ten years, and with their loyalty to Ying Xuan, it is okay to stay by his side to serve clothes, shelter and food.
That night, Liu Nianjiao sent someone to send the roster.
Ying Xuan looked through the room carefully, and there was a thin book, with a total of one hundred and thirty-three men and women. And next to each person's name, there is a comment on his family identity. Ying Xuan took a cursory look, and they were all children of famous families.
"It seems that this banquet is not simply a competition to learn skills, but also a blind date meeting......
The next day, Ying Xuan began to dress up carefully half an hour before the banquet, white clothes, folding fans, jade pendants, swords, etc., all on his body, and left the compound dressed as a child of a family.
On a long street outside Jiuxianfang, ordinary people received a notice as early as two days ago, and at this hour, they had already closed their stalls and left, and ordinary people were no longer setting foot on this street.
One by one, the sons of famous families came on horseback, and they were not chic and majestic when they rode with swords.
"The son of Tobe Shangshu, Li Qing! Arrive! ”
"Son of the Marquis of Bohai, Yang Zongbao! Arrive! ”
"The eldest son of the head of the household, Li Xiaoyun, arrive!"
"The eldest son of the military department, Yin Huahao, arrive!"
"Wang Ge's daughter, Wang Yuxin, here!"
"The son of Yingchuan Jun, Zhao Yuanlong, arrive!"
......
The children of famous families are not like the stars of later generations competing for the red carpet, and they appeared one by one in no order.
In less than a cup of tea, one hundred and thirty-three famous children were present and took their seats in the seats arranged early.
Sitting on the throne is the son of Yingchuan Jun Zhao Guangyi (formerly known as Zhao Kuangyi, changed to Guangzi due to a conflict with his brother's name), after all, he is present, he is royal blood, noble status, convincing everyone.
After sitting on the main seat, Zhao Yuanlong looked left and right, all of them were empty, nodded slightly, stood up and spoke directly, "Everyone is here, you should know that this banquet has a hundred years of tradition in my Bianjing City, and it is intended to gather the younger generation to talk about the scriptures and Taoism, and taste tea skills!" Let our younger generation be able to communicate with each other and increase their affection! ”
"Compared to the many people here, it is not the first time to attend this banquet!"
Hearing this, people like Li Xiaoyun and Yin Huahao looked at each other and smiled, five years ago, they did participate once.
"Yes! This banquet is extraordinary! It is the first time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty that I have held it! Today we have only one topic, and that is to benefit the country! ”
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
Zhao Yuanlong clapped three palms loudly, then walked in with two attendants holding an object, spread it out on the ground, and saw a white paper more than a foot long and wide appearing on the ground.
"Today, whenever you come up with a feasible plan, it will appear on this piece of paper, and leave your name! In the morning of the day after tomorrow, this young monarch asked his father to present it to the king on his behalf. Everything on this piece of paper will also be discussed by hundreds of officials. ”
"Whatever is on this piece of paper is taken and implemented by the imperial court, and it is effective. I believe you should be able to understand what this means! So, please speak up! ”
When Zhao Yuanlong finished speaking, the appearance of the entire banquet was a two-extreme performance. As men, their faces were full of excitement, and the women all sat at the end, whispering about their boudoir anecdotes.
Li Qing and Zhao Yuanlong, the second sons of Hubu Shangshu, and several others looked at each other and suddenly spoke!
"In recent days, some restaurants have appeared in Bianjing City, causing a wave of extravagance in the city. Ben Gongzi also heard that they plan to open branch buildings in all counties of the Song Kingdom! Once this kind of extravagance spreads across the country, the consequences are unimaginable! ”
When everyone heard it, they all knew what Li Qing said. As his brother, Li Xiaoyun frowned slightly, and was about to intercept Li Qing's words, so as not to get into trouble in the end, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanlong took the first step and asked with a smile, "What does Young Master Qing think it should be?" ”
"It's shameful to let the imperial court set up a special extravagant tax, such as a restaurant like Drunken Immortal Building, which is close to making money and has a very low cost, and it is shameful to lose people's morale with wine! It may be advisable to suggest that the imperial court levy an additional 10% of turnover as an extravagant tax. ”
"This turnover is not much, but the magnates of the Song Kingdom can see the attitude of the Song Kingdom towards the Drunken Immortal Building, so they dare not go back to the Drunken Immortal Building to consume extravagantly."
When Li Qing finished speaking, the atmosphere present suddenly became cold.
Everyone here knows who the boss behind the Drunken Immortal Building is, and Li Qing said this because he is a member of the * and wants to avenge Meng Fei.
Li Xiaoyun's face was gloomy, and he shouted to Li Qing opposite, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense!" ”
On weekdays, Li Qing knows Li Xiaoyun's methods of dealing with the world, and he is extremely afraid. Facing Li Xiaoyun's drink, his expression immediately turned pale.
Zhao Yuanlong immediately chuckled and said, "Today is to formulate policies for the benefit of the country, and I should speak freely. Hahaha~ Brother Li is impatient! ”
Seeing that Zhao Yuanlong was helping him support his waist, Li Qing's waist suddenly straightened, and he said, "Why should the eldest brother be angry, the younger brother has that nonsense?" The business benefits of the Drunken Immortal Building are definitely more than 100 times. A restaurant is still making a lot of money every day! He will open the restaurant full of my big song in the future? Big brother! This is the wealth that my Great Song Dynasty has accumulated for generations! ”
Li Xiaoyun was about to wake up Li Qing when he heard a sneer from outside the square.
"If you do business as you do, countries will prevent other countries from profiting for their own gains. Can countries still communicate with each other? At that time, the economy of the Song Kingdom was a pool of stagnant water! ”
