Chapter Ninety-Seven: Hu's Yueniang (on the shelf for the first order)

Yang Dewen didn't know what happened after he left the Qin Mansion, he sat in a carriage of the Ming Palace, rushed to Hujiabao Village outside the city, and prepared to bid farewell to Hu Youxun, the head of the Hu family, and by the way, make final arrangements for the affairs of the capital after he left.

Hu Youxun is in his own house, thinking about whether to talk to Yang Dewen about specifically, about strengthening the cooperation between the two families, by the way, to explore his tone, is it possible to marry?

Just when he was about to go out into the city, Yang Dewen's carriage had already arrived in Hujiapu Village, and after Hu Youxun got the notification, he immediately ordered people to open the castle gate to welcome Yang Dewen's arrival.

Just kidding, even if it wasn't because of Yang Dewen's leisurely identity as the owner, even if his invisible identity as a colt arrived at his Hujiabao, as the owner of Hujiabao, the head of the Hu family should also welcome Yang Dewen's arrival with a big gift.

"Yang Gongzi's arrival really makes my Hujiabao shine! Hu was also planning to go to the city to find Yang Gongzi to discuss the follow-up cooperation between the two of us. Hu Youxun strode towards Yang Dewen and said with a laugh.

"The head of the Hu family is too polite, and Yang also has this intention! That's why I took the liberty of waiting for the door to visit, uninvited, if there is anything to disturb, please also ask the head of the Hu family to do a lot of Haihan! "Who wouldn't say polite words? Yang Dewen is not the kind of person who does not understand the world.

Hu Youxun, the head of the Hu family, warmly welcomed Yang Dewen into the hall of the Hu family's old mansion and warmly entertained Yang Dewen.

Hu Youxun also understood in his heart that when Yang Dewen came to Hujiabao to look for him, he must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so after some politeness, he began to get to the point.

"Yang Gongzi came to Hujiabao to find me at this time, is there something urgent?" Hu Youxun was the first to speak.

"It's not urgent, it's a bit urgent to say it's not urgent, the main thing is that I'm going to leave for Mingzhou, so some things must be discussed with the head of the Hu family, so I can go at ease and walk more steadily." Yang Dewen took the initiative to explain the intention.

"What? Why did Yang Gongzi go in such a hurry? Isn't your leisurely residence in the capital just beginning to produce normally? Hu Youxun said in surprise.

"There's no way around it, I've been away from Mingzhou for more than two months, and if nothing else, I still have the county order of Kangde County, the capital of Mingzhou! Two months after leaving office, the prefectural magistrate should have scolded me in his heart. Yang Dewen said with a wry smile.

If he is not the county lieutenant of Kant, it is not a big deal to come, but if he is not the county lieutenant, how can he be promoted to a Beijing official within three years, if he can't be transferred to the capital, his wife will fly away, hey, it's strange to blame the emperor, the ancients said that it is better to demolish ten temples than to demolish a family. But this emperor likes to do this kind of thing to beat mandarin ducks.

"Oh! I didn't expect that Yang Gongzi was still the county lieutenant of Kangde County, Mingzhou Prefecture, Hu was really disrespectful and disrespectful! Hu Youxun said with some surprise, he didn't expect that this Yang Dewen Yang son was still a person in the officialdom.

But if you think about it carefully, since you are a colt, there is nothing to make a fuss about being a county lieutenant.

"A county lieutenant is just a petty official who is not in the stream, why should the head of the Hu family be polite, I believe that in the relationship between the Hu family in various places, a small county lieutenant is not an official who can be on the stage at all!" Yang Dewen said very casually.

What Yang Dewen said is the truth, in the relationship network of the Hu family, a small county lieutenant is indeed not a mainstream official, but since Yang Dewen is the county lieutenant of Kangde County, Mingzhou Prefecture, then Hu Youxun must not say something in front of Yang Dewen that looks down on the county lieutenant, if he really does this, wouldn't it be scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk?

"Young Master Yang said with a smile, no matter how small the county lieutenant is, he is also an official of the imperial court, how can it be the turn of the Hu family to introduce a merchant family, and say something that is not in the flow and so on." Hu Youxun hurriedly depreciated himself and said.

In fact, the merchants of this era, although the status is not high, but mainly depends on the nature of the businessman, if it is just a businessman who runs a small shop, it can indeed be said that he has no identity, but a big businessman like Hu Ji Commercial Bank cannot be generalized.

Not to mention anything else, when Great Qin was at its most strained, even the imperial court had to ask them for help, because only a big family like them had survived hundreds of thousands of years without falling, and the wealth they had accumulated was enough to reach the point where they were rich enough to rival the country.

Although the real descendants of the Hu family are not officials, there are many officials in the side lineage.

Reading in this era is not an easy thing for people to read, so among the scholars, there are very few really poor people, and many of the so-called poor talents have become because of the fall of their families, and there are very few talents who have been very poor since childhood.

At this time, the paper and pen used by readers, as well as books, were very expensive. The so-called Four Treasures of the Study Room is not just talking, the poor cannot afford to pay for their children to study.

It is precisely because the economy of the Great Qin Empire is very backward that there are very many people who cannot afford to read, and there are relatively few people who read.

The Huchu State, which is adjacent to the Great Qin State, is much richer than the Great Qin State, which is why the Huchu State has a prosperous literary style and many readers.

The Hu family doesn't dare to say what a thousand-year-old family, but at least it is a family of more than 500 years, the Hu family has money, in addition to business, of course, they will also train the children of the family to study, gain fame, enter the court as an official, and escort the family's business.

Therefore, Hu Youxun, the head of the Hu family, is just a businessman on the surface, as if he has no status, there can be many officials from the Hu family who go out and are big officials outside, but they still have to listen to the words of the head of the Hu family, who dares to say that the head of the Hu family is a businessman and has no status.

Yang Dewen naturally wouldn't go to compare with the Hu family master, because there was really no need for that.

"Yang Gongzi's leisurely residence in Mingzhou is probably also short of food for winemaking, and those lards, right? I don't know if the Hu family merchant ship that is about to return to Daqin, will the grain and lard be stopped in the capital to be unloaded, or will they be transported directly to Mingzhou to be unloaded? Hu Youxun asked tentatively.

"This is one of the reasons why I came here to find you today, I don't know if the Hu family has the strength to supply the supply of goods from Mingzhou and the capital at the same time." Yang Dewen said with a smile.

"At this point, Yang Gongzi can rest assured, as long as he can eat leisurely, how much food and lard is needed, our Hu family can supply it, and the price can be more favorable." After Hu Youxun heard this, he immediately said with a smile.

It is also an inevitable result to drop the price at that time, with the harvest of grain in the Great Qin Kingdom, the price of grain will inevitably drop sharply, and after Yang Dewen got out of the waterwheel, even if there will still be a drought in the future, but after the waterwheel, the situation will be greatly improved, at least it will not fall to the point of no harvest.

The drought in the Great Qin State does not mean that there is a great shortage of water, but in the past, when there was no waterwheel, I could only look at the water in the river, but I could not irrigate the fields, so I could only look at the water and sigh.

Ever since the waterwheel, none of this has been a problem.

"Since the head of the Hu family can guarantee the supply, then I can rest assured, so I don't have to find another one to supply. As for the price, we can just go according to the market price, after all, I can't let the Hu family master suffer.

However, I also hope that the head of the Hu family will not sell it to the price of leisurely residence, it is too outrageous to exceed the market price. Although Yang Dewen doesn't have to worry about this, what he should say must be explained in advance, after all, he can't be fooled like a fool.

"How is that possible, although Yang Gongzi can rest assured, the price that our Hu Ji firm sells to you Youranju is definitely not higher than the market price, our Hu family is doing business for a long time, and we don't do it after this time, if we really sell the goods to you Youranju, the price is higher than the market price, isn't it smashing our own signboard?" I'm afraid that even my own job will be smashed. Hu Youxun patted his chest and reassured.

In fact, Yang Dewen doesn't have to worry about this at all, he believes that the eyes of the Hu family master will never be such a short-sighted person, but the Hu family has really done this, and it is definitely the Hu family who suffers, not a leisurely residence.

As long as you have money, you can find a lot of businesses in addition to the Hu family, on the contrary, in addition to the leisurely house, Hu Ji firm may not be able to find a few better partners than the leisurely house.

When the conversation was about to be completed, Hu Youxun ordered people to prepare wine to entertain Yang Dewen, and in the face of the enthusiasm of the Hu family master, Yang Dewen was not coquettish, and he happened to be a little hungry, so he was even more polite.

It's just that Yang Dewen didn't expect that the head of the Hu family would call his baby daughter over to accompany the wine.

"Yang Gongzi, I heard that at the Oiran Contest on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when did the Mid-Autumn Festival song appear in the bright moon, it was actually from the hand of Yang Gongzi, is this news true?" The daughter of the head of the Hu family asked with a happy smile after knowing Yang Dewen's identity.

"This ...... It's a Mid-Autumn Festival poem, it's really not worth mentioning, and it makes Miss Hu laugh. Yang Dewen touched his nose and said with some embarrassment.

"Young Master Yang, you're too modest, aren't you? Cai Wenji, a famous prostitute in Lixiangyuan, who had no possibility of winning the top spot in Oiran, turned defeat into victory just because she sang your song Mingyue, can Yang Gongzi still say this song, is it not worth mentioning? Hu Yueniang, the daughter of the head of the Hu family, said.

"Really? I didn't watch the game, and I don't know the result of the game, but maybe it's the famous prostitute named Cai Wenji, who is already singing and singing, or maybe it's just that she is more beautiful because she looks! Yang Dewen replied helplessly.

"It won't be like this, although the famous prostitute named Cai Wenji is not bad, but none of the famous prostitutes who came on stage to participate in the competition are no worse than her, so there is only one possibility, just because she sang the song you wrote when Mingyue had words, and this song is so beautifully written, so she unexpectedly won the first place in the Oiran competition.

However, the owner of this Lixiang Courtyard was also ruthless, and in order to grab the right to sing this Mid-Autumn Festival, he actually smashed 30,000 taels of silver. Although the silver reward for Cai Wenji has also reached 50,000 taels, if it is placed in normal times, Lixiangyuan will not only not lose, but also earn 20,000 taels of silver, which can be said to be a big profit.

It's a pity that this year's Oiran Contest is sponsored by the imperial court, and all the money rewarded will also go to the imperial court. In this way, not only Lixiangyuan has lost a lot, but also Yang Gongzi!

You must know that according to the usual rules, the 30,000 taels of silver should have belonged to Yang Gongzi. After Hu Yueniang finished speaking, she giggled.

"The imperial court is also for disaster relief, all over the country has been exempted from this tax over the years, that tax, the treasury has no income, holding an Oiran contest, not only to make everyone happy, but also to increase a little income for the treasury, that is also as it should be, it is a good thing, as the people of the Great Qin State, of course we should support the good deeds of the imperial court, after all, only when the country is rich and strong, the people can have a good life!" Yang Dewen said indifferently and carelessly.

Little stars appeared in Hu Yueniang's eyes, and Yang Dewen's words pretending to be forceful simply touched her girlish heart.

Hu Yueniang has lived in the Hu family, a family of businessmen, and businessmen are committed to pursuing profits, so Yang Dewen's free and easy attitude and disdainful attitude towards money deeply fascinated her.

It's just that she is too naïve, she doesn't know that Yang Dewen, who is pretending to be forced, will also hurt in her heart at this time.
