It was late at night, the sky was dark, and the sergeants were on duty all around, so quiet inside and outside the Qianqing Palace that only the footsteps of the patrolling sergeants remained.

"I heard that three thousand scholars have sworn to follow Yunjiang today, let's talk about it." Ji Yuan looked at the fold and said to Chang Gonggong on the side.

"Back to Your Majesty, today the third son of the Dongfang family made a bet with Yunjiang, if Yunjiang can't be admitted to the academy in the end, he will be asked to take off his clothes and run around Lin'an City for a week." Father-in-law Chang said slowly, bowing slightly.

"Yunjiang should make a gambling contract, saying that this is to correct the name of the cloth cloth scholars in the world, and he will not regret it even if he loses."

"It's kind of interesting."

Ji Yuan thought for a while, "In this way, not only did he pull those three thousand cold scholars to his side, but also won his reputation, even if he lost in the end, it would only increase the admiration of others, for him, winning or losing is no longer important, and losing is even more beneficial to him." On the contrary, it was the boy from the Oriental family who said something that should not be said...."

"Since this Oriental boy is so confident, then I will do what he wants."

The matter of 3,000 scholars accompanied the end of the academy examination, and it was also spread to ten, ten to hundred, and it did not take long to spread throughout Lin'an City.

In the city, everyone from the princes and doctors to the peddlers and pawns all knew about Dongfang Jin's gambling contract with Jiang Yun, but they were more interested in the name "Yunjiang".

However, at the age of sixteen, before he even reached the age of crowning, he dared to carry the children of the family and even had the upper hand.

Some people say that this is just young and frivolous, but let me ask any child from a poor family, at the same age, will he have the courage to make such a move and agree to such a bet?

The people of the poor family admired him a little more, and some even made their own remarks publicly, and in less than a day, a force was faintly formed in the court to support Jiang Yun, so that the people in the court had to start paying attention to this gambling contract.

The night at Dongfang's house was not peaceful, and even Dongfang Buyi himself almost didn't vomit out a mouthful of old blood.

As the capital of the cabinet, it is true that he has a high position and power, and he is above 10,000 people, but in the same way, every move he makes, even a slight sneeze, will be infinitely magnified, so Dongfang Buyi has always been quite cautious and will not make any moves easily.

His youngest son is stubborn by nature, and there are a lot of things like fights, but at least he is a little measured, so he just can't see it.

Now, Dongfang is not easy to look at Dongfang Jin who is kneeling on the ground, but he doesn't know what to say at all.

If it is a simple gambling contract, then Dongfang Buyi doesn't have to pay attention to it at all, after all, it's just some trivial things, even if there is any injury or something, as long as there is no death, it can be solved by giving some compensation later.

Could it be that someone really has the courage to make trouble with Shousuke? With such strength, can this kid be bullied?

But now the problem is a bit serious, my own kid fell for that Yunjiang and said something like "Buyi is not as good as the family".

Although this is the current status quo of Dayan, the family is far ahead of the poor in any aspect, and Dayan knows it in his heart, even the emperor turns a blind eye to this, after all, the strength of the family is there.

But this stinky boy actually said it openly? You still said it in front of the 5,000 candidates of the academy?

This is an open secret, there has always been a covering cloth on it, this stupid boy directly lifted it, and even triumphantly, this is the prisoner.

Not to mention the scholars of the poor family at the scene, the emperor will definitely not sit idly by and ignore this, plus the academy, the family, and even the civilian class, which accounts for the majority of the 60 million people in Dayan, every force has a heavy power, and now it is good, all of them have been brought together.

Dongfang is not easy to bear great pressure, and now it is a headache.

The cabinet is waiting for its own attitude, the voice of the poor class is getting louder and louder, and the family also needs to give an explanation for itself, the emperor... Needless to say, this is not to mention.

This makes Dongfang Buyi have to look at it cautiously and deal with it carefully.

"Rebel!" Dongfang is not easy to slap Dongfang Jin to the ground, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused?" ”

Dongfang Jin's eyes were blank, and he couldn't even feel the heat on his face.

His father, who has always been good-tempered, is now so angry, and with the scene of the three thousand scholars he saw today, he completely understands the seriousness of his gamble this time.

It's no longer a question of whether you lose or not.

His mother, Dongfang Yiyi's second lady hurriedly stepped forward to help, looking at Dongfang Jin distressedly, but she also knew that she shouldn't say a word now, this was the wisest choice.

"Now the emperor, all the families, and even the entire Hanmen have been involved!"

Dongfang is not easy to have a headache, it is a real headache.

"Even the academy where Lao Tzu graduated is very unhappy, after all, if you make this storm in the academy, they will definitely not stop there!"

Dongfang is not easy to point at Dongfang Jin's face, and he looks like he hates iron but not steel.

"You said that you usually do nonsense outside, I can act as if I didn't see it, but this time you directly pushed the Dongfang family to the cusp!"

"Now this bet is no longer a bet between you and that Yunjiang, this is a bet between the family and the Hanmen! No one can afford to lose! Dongfang is not easy to remember that he received more than ten posts today, all of which are from various families in Lin'an City without exception, and the meaning is already obvious.

"At that time, if Yunjiang is admitted to the academy, you really run around this Lin'an City, and the family will lose face!"

"Impossible!" Dongfang Jin thought of Jiang Yun's pale face, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "The admission requirements of the academy are extremely strict!" His body is quite weak, and it is impossible for him to participate in the martial arts test! ”

"Oh? And what's going on? Dongfang Buyi's expression softened slightly.

Seeing that Dongfang Buyi's face was a little better, Dongfang Jin hurriedly said, "This matter is absolutely true!" The child saw it with his own eyes! ”

"Humph!"

Dongfang Yi looked at Dongfang Jin, "Let me tell you, even if Yunjiang loses, it won't be good, and it may even be recited for a while." But if you lose... You'd better pray that Yunjiang didn't pass the exam."

"Go back!"

Dongfang Yi waved his sleeves and left with his back, leaving only the frightened Dongfang Jin.

Jiang Yun didn't know that the entire Lin'an City had set off a huge storm because of his bet with Dongfang Jin, and even the emperor was alarmed.

He only knew that he had a certain estimate of his enthusiasm for the scholars, but he was far from thinking that the scholars admired him to a high degree, all kinds of worship posts flew like snowflakes, there were families and some from poor families, Jiang Yun could only deal with them one by one, so that he could not rest for a while until now.

The watchman has already made a watch, and it's getting late.

But Jiang Yun couldn't sleep yet, just like Mo Yinian who was standing beside him now.

"Remembering the year, are you ready?"

Mo Yinian nodded, "This was sent by Young Master Beigong." ”

He pulled out a large pile of paperwork and spread it all over the table.

"Here are the details of more than 20 large and small carriage and horse shops in the city."

Mo Yinian sorted out these materials carefully, pointed to a pile of them and said, "This is the situation of the carriage and horse shops in the east of Lin'an. ”

Lin'an City, as the residence of the Son of Heaven, is also the most prosperous place in Dayan, and the relative carriage and horse shops are also the most in Dayan, with a total of 21.

The four strongest chariot and horse shops were opened by the Xuanyuan family, the Zheng family, Prince Rong and the peace family.

The four of them are also the four chariots and horses designated by the imperial court to transport official salt, and the four of them can be seen everywhere in Dayan's salt road.

But these four are not within Jiang Yun's consideration, and these carriages and horses are not something he can contact now.

He set his sights on the east side of the city, that is, the area with the smallest number of carriage and horse shops in Lin'an, and also the relatively least prosperous area, and because of this, the strength of the carriage and horse shops here is not only the weakest, but also the least number, there are only three carriage and horse shops in total, namely Xuanyue, Donghu and Liu's carriage and horse shops.

The strongest is Xuanyue, followed by East Lake, and the weakest is Liu's car and horse shop, and I even heard that because of poor management, it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The people behind Xuanyue and Donghu are the strongmen in the east of the city, that is, the gangs that occupy the chassis, among which the Green Snake Gang opened Xuanyue, the Tiger Gang opened Donghu, and the Liu Carriage and Horse Shop was a pure businessman.

Jiang Yun thought about it, and it was no wonder that the Liu family's car and horse shop could not compete with the other two.

What the car and horse shop needs most is manpower, no matter how much money you Liu Jiaming has on your face, as long as the other people will say hello, who dares to risk their lives to do things for you?

"And... That Liu's carriage and horse shop was opened by the daughter of the deceased son that day..."

After speaking, Mo Yinian glanced at Jiang Yun.

"Recently it was reported that she was going to sell the car dealership. We might want to think about it. ”

Jiang Yun nodded, plus the money sent by the Xuanyuan family last time, it totaled nearly 27,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of wealth, it should be enough to buy this Liu family's chariot and horse shop, and the rest of the money can be used to buy some more horses.

As for why he chose the car and horse shop, Jiang Yun decided to start from here after a lot of consideration.

First of all, he is Yu Linwei's hundred households, and the post station is under his jurisdiction, and Yu Linwei is also in charge of the Cao Yun carriages and horses coming and going in Lin'an, so he can not be hindered in this regard, and he may even get some preferential treatment and assistance.

The other two are controlled by gang bosses, ordinary people may be afraid, and ordinary businessmen are helpless, but for themselves, these people have nothing to worry about, and even have the opportunity to swallow these two after development and completely monopolize the transportation in the east of the city.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly, everyone in the world knows that selling salt and iron can make a lot of money, but few people pay attention to the carriages and horses behind it.

The freight of carriages and horses is about 10% of the goods, that is, whether the merchant profits from the goods or not, the carriage and horse dealers have already received 10% of the cost, and there is no need to consider whether they are sold or not, and no matter how difficult the times are, as long as the goods are transported, the carriages and horses must be indispensable.

Moreover, Lin'an is the imperial capital, and there are countless people who come and go every day, and the transportation of goods during the period needs to be carried out by cars and horses.

Especially for the transportation of bulk goods in the city, if there is no qualified carriage and horse transfer, even if you arrive at the gate of Lin'an City, it is absolutely impossible to enter.

The daily traffic is huge, and the profits contained in it are quite huge.

It's not so much about getting off the car and horses, but about buying his qualifications, which is what Jiang Yun wants most.

After deciding, Jiang Yun nodded, "This is a success, I'll go find someone first." ”

"Maybe he's already waiting for me." Jiang Yun looked out the window and said slowly.
