Chapter 249: Hit it off

Li Zhongtan sat in the gazebo, looking at the place where Feng Shiyuan disappeared, but he didn't see his shadow. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info tea had already been drunk in a stomach, and the slightest movement would make a loud noise.

The little guy came over to serve tea again, Li Zhongtan couldn't help it, so he stopped and asked, "Little brother, when will Taiwei Feng come over?" ”

"The captain has something important to go out, and I'm not sure when I'll come back."

Li Zhongtan complained bitterly in his heart, and asked again: "Did the captain tell me to go back first?" ”

The little guy shook his head: "No, the captain said to let you sit here and wait, and he will be easy to talk after he comes back." ”

Seeing that the sun in the western sky was about to set down the mountain, Li Zhongtan touched his stomach and sat on the stone bench with a bitter face.

Since the Battle of Lanzhou, there have been decades of peace and laxity, and now is the time when the status of military generals is at its lowest.

This is a vicious circle, the society worships literature and suppresses the military, everyone does not like to be military attachΓ©s, military generals are not valued, and the emperor will casually stuff some of his relatives and friends to lead the army. These people stuffed in are of inferior quality, they can't lead the army, they can't lead troops to fight, and they are extremely greedy, which further makes people look down on military generals.

Now except for the three commanders of the forbidden army, who only sing a promise to the prime minister with a cane and salute the ruling party, the other generals in charge of the army are not good. Like Sun Lian, although he is also in charge of the army, if he goes out with a ceremonial staff, he has to make way when he meets the Zhizhi, not to mention the imperial history.

Generally out of the barracks, walking around the city and among the people, the army often does not carry a ceremonial staff, only a few soldiers with him. If you want to go to Feng Shiyuan's banquet today, you can't make a big splash, and Sun Lian only brought seven or eight things that he is used to.

After crossing the Xingguosi Bridge, the population will be sparse, and after walking a short distance, I will see a man looking under the willow tree on the side of the road. Seeing Sun Lian riding on a horse and bringing his entourage, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly ran over and sang a promise.

Sun Lian said: "What news is there from Gao Maoling?" ”

The man crossed his hands: "Back to Taiwei, Gao Ti Ha went to the house today to make a fuss, and the person in charge was obedient, and persuaded Ti Ha to come back with good words, saying that he would go back to discuss." Tihar now lives at the Deng Family Inn, and everything is fine. ”

Sun Lian nodded: "I know, you go with me to the Huixian Mansion for a banquet, and everything will be discussed when I negotiate with Feng Shiyuan." ”

After speaking, he lifted the reins of his horse and walked forward. When you arrive at Quyuan Street, turn west, and walk a short distance to the front of the Huixian Building.

Huixian Tower is also one of the few big restaurants in the capital, although the place is remote, but it is still lively. At this time, there was a colorful building in front of the sprinkled building, and there were twenty or thirty female prostitutes dressed in fancy clothes sitting under the colorful building, judging the character of the pedestrians on the road, and laughing in a low voice. Although Sun Lian is light today, he is still extraordinary, and as soon as he arrives in front of the building, there are prostitutes who are waving up.

The little guy in front of the Cai Lou is the most sharp-eyed, and the extravagant characters in the capital like Sun Lian are firmly remembered in their appearances. When he saw it from afar, he ran forward, grabbed the reins of the horse, and said, "The captain has been so busy lately, he hasn't come to the store for several days!" ”

Sun Lian just said "um", turned over and dismounted, handed the reins of the horse casually, and didn't speak.

Another small guy ran over, handed over a wet towel to Sun Qian to wipe his face, and then said: "There is a special seat reserved for the Taiwei in the building, and the Jichu Pavilion by the window is the most quiet." The little captain went upβ€”"

Sun Lian waved his hand and said: "No need, Feng Shiyuan of the Kaifeng Mansion Embassy set up a banquet here today to honor the Sprinkle family!" ”

The little guy patted his head: "It's a little fool, Taiwei Feng ordered-"

A Yu Hou behind Sun Lian shouted: "My family is a captain in person, and any cat or dog dares to call him a captain!" ”

The little guy bowed again and again: "There is no door on the little one's mouth, and he talks casually, so don't be surprised by the captain!" Feng Guanren had already ordered it, and when Taiwei Sun came, he just led him to the banquet, but he forgot it for a while. ”

Sun Lian is here to talk about things, and he doesn't care about the little guy, let him lead the way.

Feng Shiyuan was called a lieutenant because of the title of lieutenant he carried, and everyone flattered him to be called so, satisfying his vanity. At this time, the school inspector was the least valuable, and as long as the official was established, he would bring the lowest level of school inspector and be promoted according to seniority. This inspector is neither a grade, nor a good fortune, nor does it affect the chapter uniform, but is just a false name, and the court is extremely generous, and there is also a formal official notice. In history, it was not until after the reform of Shenzong and Huizong that the school inspector officially became the first level of the official rank, and the status was very different, such as Yue Fei's school inspector Shaobao. However, since then, the school inspector has no longer been awarded to public officials, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, even ordinary people do not know that this official was once so widespread in the early Song Dynasty, so that the descendants of public officials took the official notice of their ancestors and asked the court to confer officials, and almost succeeded.

Only high-ranking military attachΓ©s can be called captains, and today Feng Shiyuan, a fake captain, met Sun Lian, a real captain, of course, he can't call it casually. As for the little guy who said that he forgot that Feng Shiyuan was waiting for a treat, that was the hospitality of the store. I was afraid that guests like Sun Lian were not here to attend the banquet, so I was embarrassed, so I had to go back and report to Feng Shiyuan and let him invite him in person.

When I entered the restaurant, I didn't go to the upstairs pavilion, but went straight to the backyard. Turn left and right between the flowers and trees, and arrive at a small pavilion. Next to the pavilion is a rockery, and on the other side is a large vat planted with a few clumps of lotus flowers, which are blooming brightly.

Feng Shiyuan saw Sun Lian coming in in the pavilion, hurriedly greeted him out of the pavilion, and saluted: "Taiwei has worked the road!" ”

Sun Lian nodded slightly, strode into the pavilion, and sat down on the top.

Feng Shiyuan smiled at Sun Lian's entourage, and said, "You guys sit over there, you have your own good wine and good food to entertain, and I will talk to the captain." ”

Although they are Sun Lian's entourage, these people are all people with status and status in the forbidden army, where would they put a public official of Kaifeng Mansion in their eyes. They all turned their faces and looked at Sun Lian who was sitting in the pavilion.

Sun Lian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You go over there and use some wine and rice, and when you use it, I will naturally call you!" ”

A few of the entourage agreed and went to the side together.

Feng Shiyuan returned to the pavilion and said to Sun Lian: "What kind of wine does the Taiwei want to use?" Although the Huixian Building is a little remote, the wine and food are the first-class in the capital, although the Taiwei chooses the one he likes to let the store come up. ”

Sun Lian looked at Feng Shiyuan, and suddenly smiled: "Don't be busy using the wine and food, wait for the matter to be discussed, and then you can get drunk and rest." You invited me to the banquet next post, and I put down how many important things on my body and rushed over. We all know what we want to talk about, so we just open the window and say something bright, it's like playing a dumb riddle here! ”

Feng Shiyuan slapped his palms and smiled: "Taiwei is really a cheerful person, okay, then there will be something to say directly." I recently found a few good helpers to borrow money from the newly opened Jingshi Bank, and then release it to people who are in a hurry to use the money. If this kind of thing can be concealed from others, it must not be hidden from the captain. This afternoon, a man who claimed to be a high priest came to me, saying that he was gambling and lending money in the forbidden army, and asked me to lend him money. What kind of gambling and money are unbelievable, who in the forbidden army dares to do such a thing? But looking at the way he looks, it's good to be in a hurry to use the money. Some of my subordinates recognized him as a subordinate of the front division of the palace, and he was under the control of the Taiwei, so I couldn't make up my mind, so I made a host and invited the Taiwei to come over to discuss. ”

Hearing this, Sun Lian laughed and said, "How can you trust gambling and money?" The children in the forbidden army like this tune the most! Who are you, Feng Shiyuan, and who in the capital doesn't know? As long as it is a matter in the market, entrusted to you, it will be done properly! Gao Maoling is a gambler, don't you know? Today we don't have to hide it, if we have something to say, just say it clearly! You Feng Shiyuan Kaifeng Mansion is familiar with everyone, the Sprinkle family can bear a lot of responsibility, which one are you afraid of! ”

Feng Shiyuan said: "Okay, okay, since the captain has explained what he said, it would be wrong to say some more scenes in the future." I do know that Gao Ti Ha made a bet in the forbidden army, and I thought that the Tai Lieutenant must have a rumor about it, otherwise he would not be able to do it. Whether you can give him money or not, you need a word from the captain. My man in charge is still hungry and waiting! ”

Sun Lian looked at Feng Shiyuan, and said after a while: "Since he went, in the name of my forbidden army, isn't it worth putting money?" Don't worry, there is a sprinkle family here, he can't go to the sky, and the money he takes from you will definitely be paid off with interest! ”

Feng Shiyuan said: "Tai Wei, I invite you here today to explain this matter clearly." Now all my money is borrowed from Jingshi Bank, which is different from before, and there are new rules for doing things. Once the rules are settled, everything is easy to say. ”

Speaking of which, most of the matter has been completed, and the rest is only the details, Sun Lian suddenly said: "Say this, a bird fades out of your mouth!" Tell the shopkeeper to serve some food and drinks, and we will talk while eating. ――The wine should be three divisions and Xu advises the bottle of incense at home! ”

Feng Shiyuan was full of smiles, and shouted to the little guy who was guarding outside to come over and let the food be served.

When the wine and food came up, Feng Shiyuan poured it for Sun Lian, Sun Lian picked up the wine bowl and raised his head to drink it dry, slapped the bowl on the table, and said: "It's still strong enough for this wine, straight lady thief, it's really refreshing!" Come, pour it, let's drink and talk, first talk about your rules! ”

Feng Shiyuan poured the wine, sat back in his seat, and said to Sun Lian: "I didn't know that Taiwei had never borrowed money from the bank, so I started from the beginning. Nowadays, money is released in the bank, which is different from the previous pledge warehouse, and does not need to be mortgaged, but only to the company, and the company's accounts must be done by a special person and reported to the government and the bank at any time. He knows the details of your account, and he is not afraid that you will take the money and run away, this is one. Again, from the beginning of the loan, there will be days, and when the days come, the interest will be paid. There are two other ways to pay interest, one is to pay only interest, which is generally paid from a month after borrowing money, and then repay the principal together at the agreed time. There is also a way, which is to amortize the principal into the interest, pay how many years and months, and pay the account. ”

Sun Lianzheng bit a piece of mutton, and when he heard this, he said vaguely: "This bank is really troublesome, and it is not profitable at all!" ”

"If that's not the case, how dare you lend money without collateral? Moreover, it is a newly opened company, and the amount of money borrowed is pitifully small, and the amount of money borrowed can be timely and the amount can slowly rise. This kind of rule is different from before, and I naturally only change with the bank, and it is not easy to raise these companies now. When you take money from me, you can't repay the principal and interest when it's due, as before, but you have to repay the money every month. As soon as the bank's profit is missing, things will be big. ”

Sun Lian nodded: "I know that the Jingshi Bank is the official family invested the capital in it, and if their money is missing, the Imperial City Division will definitely come out to take people, and they can't run away!" Since they have this rule, we will do it! ”

Feng Shiyuan said happily: "As long as the Taiwei can abide by the rules of repaying the money every month, the business will be able to continue." In other words, once this rule cannot be kept, no one involved in this matter will be able to escape! That's the money of the official family, who dares to rely on it! As for the profits collected, if you have the face of the captain, you can't be the same as everyone else, so you will get a nine-percent discount, how about it? ”

Sun Lian thought for a while and slapped the table: "Okay, let's just say so, in the future, Gao Maoling will be the person in front of the palace, and he will just release the money!" ”
