Standing in front of Chongning Fort is Yang Yue's father Yang Shitang, as the second-generation leader of the Yang family, he is responsible for the most important caravan of the Yang family, more than 100 different caravans, controlling more than 20 different distribution centers in more than 20 cities, and the value generated every year, not to mention millions, is a pivotal figure in the Yang family, and is also a very capable and skillful person.

"Welcome Yang Xian's nephew to the cold house, there is no way to welcome!" Yang Shitang bowed, but his eyes were scrutinizing, sweeping around Yang Yuanzhao's body, as if he wanted to see something from Yang Yuanzhao's body.

Yang Yuanzhao just stood calmly, before he came, he knew that he was going to be scrutinized like this, a stranger connected to their Yang family, and even opened one

The name Yang Yuanzhao, in the past half a month, has been on his desk several times, suddenly appeared in Baotou, seems to have some kind of purpose, contacted Yang Yue, as the only son, and he has high hopes, to study in the United States, the major is not very satisfied, but also returned from learning, in his opinion, is the future family of the elite, now a little immature, but in time, there must be something to do.

The appearance of Yang Yuanzhao is not surprising, Yang Shitang laughed at it, the heritage of the big family is to allow Erlang to take detours, or even hit a wall, they have this background, pull them back, this is also a method that works for the big family.

But then, some information about Yang Yuanzhao was reported again, Yang Yuanzhao saved 10,000 yuan of silver dollars in the ticket number of the Wei family, 10,000 yuan of silver dollars, not a lot, at least not in the eyes of the Yang family, but a one-time take out 10,000 yuan, in China, it is not big or small, it can be regarded as a character, Yang Yuanzhao is such a young junior, their family really has such a foundation, I have never heard of the same surname Yang, there is such a great strength, at least, not in Shanxi.

The next qiē was even more unexpected by Yang Shitang, Yang Yuanzhao did not covet profits, he sold part of the interests, and tangled the Yang family, the Liu family, the Wei family, and Wu Guangren and Zhao Shuming together, and established a so-called reclamation company.

Baoken company, is no longer a small fight, tens of thousands of silver dollars, 210 dumps of land, huge investment, can it really produce benefits, but also Baotou has never had cotton planting, cotton is a good thing, Yang Shitang control zhì caravan, also has the task of purchasing cotton, up to hundreds of thousands of quintals every year, mostly for the southeast coast of cotton textile mills, their demand is huge, the benefits are also good, but the yield of an acre of land, and the labor is very asymmetrical, especially in the northwest, the harsh environment, so that the yield of cotton, Much lower than the southeast coast.

A series of investigation reports made Yang Shitang suspicious, but in any case, Yang Yuanzhao could not be called a liar, the investment of 10,000 yuan, and the planting industry, the cooperation was only a lease of land, not a transfer of land, at least, the well-informed Yang Shitang could not see any possibility of fraud, and lost an opportunity to lead Yang Yue to the right path, Yang Shitang was slightly lost, but seeing his son's heartfelt smile, he changed his mind, is this better?

Not to mention Yang Shitang's heart, how many thoughts have passed, Yang Yue said hello to Yang Shitang, after Yang Shitang nodded slightly, he had already walked to his mother's side, Zhao Cui'e gently patted the dust on Yang Yue's shoulder, and said: "It's been hard all the way, hurry up and wash it, it's all dirty into a monkey!" ”

"Mom!"

"Okay, it's so old, I'll have a banquet with your dad to entertain your friends in the evening!"

"Really?" Yang Yue's eyes lit up, and then beckoned Yang Yuanzhao to leave with him, making Zhao Cui'e smile bitterly.

Under the leadership of a group of servants, he walked through the courtyard that looked the same, to be honest, if there was no one to guide the way, Yang Yuanzhao would definitely go wrong, almost all of them were carved out of a mold, walking through the high wall, almost forgetting the location, this is the luxury of the big family, not the forbidden place of the deep palace, the huge family, tens of thousands of people live together, how many joys and sorrows, and even the endless dark side under the bright future, many people's lives may be buried in the compound.

Visiting all the way, plain, revealing luxury, Yang Yuanzhao's vision of future generations, these decorations are not very practical, but luxury is inevitable, not what is inlaid with gold and jade, there are antiques everywhere, the wealth of Jin merchants, it can be seen that this is still Yang Shitang's house, the largest Hongmen Fort, what is the situation, maybe it will be more luxurious.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he came to a small and exquisite courtyard, Shangshu Yuexiang Courtyard, Yang Yue said: "This is the courtyard where I live, Yang Si, take Young Master Yang to the guest room to wash!" ”

After three days of dust, I finally took a hot bath, changed into loose clothes, and felt a burst of comfort, the fragrant scene that Yang Yuanzhao was looking forward to did not appear, and the big family did not all use beautiful maids to warm the bed, walking out of the room, in the living room, Yang Yue sat down early, changed out of the suit, and put on a dark blue robe, the whole person seemed to be much more elegant, if there were still braids, maybe it was a motivated move.

"Yuan Zhao, this is a small banquet, only my family, don't be too restrained!"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, followed Yang Yue out, at this time it was the beginning of the lanterns, the Yang family compound was under the dense lanterns, shining a piece of light, in the era of no electricity, the price of light is huge, the thick red candles, in the lanterns, reflected in the red light, in the fence on both sides, there are also special servants to take care of.

Under the leadership of Yang Yue, he walked into the side hall, a table of eight immortals, there were a few people sitting, Yang Yue's family was not many, in addition to his parents, there were only two younger brothers and a younger sister, Yang Shitang regarded Yang Yuanzhao as a generation of children and nephews, so he did not choose to share the meal, and the family sat together.

Yang Yue's two younger brothers, very young, one is only 9 years old, the other is only 6 years old, Yang Yue does not communicate much with them, they look at Yang Yue's eyes are relatively unfamiliar, Yang Yuanzhao did not ask much, it is normal for wives and concubines to be in the late Qing Dynasty, as the son-in-law of a big family, and they are very rich, it is impossible for Yang Shitang not to accept concubines, perhaps, these two are concubines, because they do not have much communication with Zhao Cui'e, and Zhao Cui'e's eyes are also timid. It was his sister Yang Qian, who had a close relationship with Yang Yue, as soon as Yang Yue came in, she came to his side, and the one who asked questions was thirteen or fourteen years old, lively and abnormal.

"Brother Yuan Zhaoxian, this is my sister Yang Qian, who is currently studying at Fuxing Girls' High School in Taiyuan!"

Yang Qian stood behind Yang Yue and looked at Yang Yuanzhao with wide eyes, Fuxing Girls' High School is a Western-style college, which was jointly built by American missionaries and the local gentry in Shanxi, and is a relatively famous school in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

People sit down, the dishes come up like water, Yang Yuanzhao really enjoyed it, just like the feeling of being in the Red Mansion, the dishes look inconspicuous, but the low-key is full of luxury, such as a simple eggplant, but more than 10 chickens and ducks are used, simmered out slowly with a simmer, and the taste is of course extremely beautiful.

At the end of the meal, no one said anything on the table, and Yang Yue's younger siblings also retreated one by one, leaving only Yang Shitang, Yang Yue, and Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Shitang glanced at Yang Yuanzhao and said, "Virtuous nephew, you and I have a chat in the study!" ”

"Obey Uncle Shi's orders!"

Yang Shitang went first, and Yang Yue was about to follow, but Yang Shitang glanced at him, stopped, and stopped talking, but he didn't say a word.

The ink is fragrant, the study of the Yang family is still a traditional furnishing, full of ancient books, clusters of books, slightly with the smell of corruption and ink, Yang Shitang sat down, looking at Yang Yuanzhao sitting in front of him, to be honest, Yang Yuanzhao's body is full of special temperament, as the controller of the caravan, he can control so many unruly characters in the caravan, and the kind of majesty that naturally brings out, it is rare to be able to sit in front of him so calmly, for thirty or forty years old, rich experience, it is good to say, Yang Yuanzhao is indeed extraordinary.

It is really a talent, Yang Shitang praised in his heart, but his face turned up, and asked, "Virtuous nephew, can I ask, where did you come from?" ”
