Chapter 39: Hotel Acquaintance
As he walked home, An He thought:
This time, let Liu Wenzhi report the news of the earthquake to the court, I wonder if anyone in the court will believe it?
If the emperor doesn't believe it, I'm afraid that he will be convicted of spreading rumors, if there is no earthquake tomorrow, there is no need to ask, he is very likely to be beheaded by the emperor for the crime of bullying the king, if there is an earthquake tomorrow, the emperor thinks that he has the ability to predict the future, recruit himself into the court, and give him an official position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
An He has watched a lot of costume TV series in later generations, and there are often treacherous disputes between the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are open and secret battles above the court. The concubines compete for favor and beauty, the blood and rain in the harem, and the princes compete for the heirs, fighting for the position of the East Palace.
If you really recruit yourself as an official in the court and put yourself in it, wouldn't you want your own life!
If it weren't for the sake of the people of Jinju and Yongseong, he would not have reported the matter to the court if he was killed.
Thinking of Lin Yishan's care for himself when he first arrived in Yongcheng, he also vowed to let Lin Yishan return to the academy to study, so that he could live a good life, if he left, what would Lin Yishan do?
As a horse market, you don't have to worry about which piece of land, and when the business of the horse market is weak this year, you can turn over which piece of land will be turned over, and which fruit tree seedlings will be moved from Mangshan to plant, almost no cost. Where there is so much horse manure in the field, it will surely become the most fertile fertile land in Yongcheng County.
However, if you want to build a shop on top of the big pit that is filled, the money in Lin Yishan's hand is far from enough, and he has to find a way to leave a large sum for Lin Yishan to build the house.
Even if he leaves in the future, Lin Yishan will have no worries, An He thought as he walked.
When he walked to the door of Yuelai Hotel, he was seen by the boss Lin Changgui, Lin Changgui couldn't help but pull him to a private room on the second floor of the hotel.
The four walls are pasted with hollow exquisite fragrant wood boards, or "Liuyun Hundred Bats", or "Three Friends of the Year Race", or "Landscape Figures", or Collections, or Bogu, look at this workmanship to know that it is carved by famous artists, there are various wooden lattices, and there are books, vases, and bonsai.
There are all kinds of wooden lattices, or the sky is round, or chrysanthemum banana leaves, or the chain is half a bib, it is really exquisite, clear and exquisite.
Look at the people on the seat, which are the two sons and brothers who gambled in the big pit.
The two of them were also stunned when they saw Lin Changgui bringing a young man.
Lin Changgui asked An He to sit down on a chair, and then introduced the two people in the seat:
"The two sons, this young man is the son of An He mentioned by the Yellow Sea last time."
Pointing to a young man in his twenties, with a slightly dark face and a proud face, he introduced An He and said:
"This is Wang Zhongtian's son, the owner of Tongyuanhe, the largest pharmacy in Yongcheng County."
Then he pointed to another young man who was also in his twenties, and said:
"This is the eldest grandson Heng, who owns four Hengji silk shops in Yongcheng County, and the two sons have shops in Yongcheng County, and the rest of the shops are all over the country, which can be said to be rich in the world!"
It turned out that Anhe transported the rubble of the old county government through the circle throwing game, and by the way, the matter of filling up the big pit in Lin Yishan had already spread throughout Yongcheng County through the mouth of the Yellow Sea, because everyone was a participant in this game.
Just imagine, who didn't go to the edge of the big pit to cast twice, it turned out that we were all used by the people who set up the bureau, although they knew that they were used, but no one was angry with the people who set up the game, after all, they were entertained, and they didn't lose anything, but they just helped pick up a few pieces of rubble.
Everyone thinks, I can't complain that people set up this game in the big pit, it turns out to fill in the big hole!
Dakeng is located on the side of the street in Yongcheng County, which is twenty acres of land! Now it's all filled, and if you build a shop, you can build dozens of them!
While people were amazed, they asked who had such intelligence to come up with such a strange trick.
Wang Zhongtian and Gongsun Heng made the greatest contribution in the circle throwing game, and when the two of them gambled on the edge of the big pit that day, they asked their subordinates to go to the old county government to pick up four or five trucks of rubble.
The two of them have dinner at Yuelai Hotel more than ten times a month, and they are naturally very familiar with the shopkeeper Lin Changgui.
Once, when the three of them invited Huang Da, the head of the county government, to drink, Huang Dahai drank too much, so he bragged about it for An He.
Lin Changgui had known An He for a long time, and since he was able to create a Zhuge Repeater, it was not surprising that he came up with such a strange trick.
When Wang Zhongtian and Gongsun Heng heard this, they were secretly frightened and thought:
When did Yongcheng County produce such a person?
Especially which Wang Zhongtian, who was originally a rough man with a straight intestine, was simply shocked by An He. It has long been revealed to Huang Dahai and Lin Changgui that they intend to get acquainted with An He, and I heard Lin Changgui say that this person is An He.
Wang Zhongtian hurriedly stood up, pulled An He and pressed it to the main seat, and said with a surprised face:
"I heard his name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see the legendary An Gongzi in this hotel, it's really a blessing for three lives!"
Gongsun Heng was also shocked when he saw An Hejing being a young man younger than himself, and thought: I didn't expect this person to have such a mind at such an age. Hurriedly stood up and said:
"I didn't expect An Gongzi to be a teenager, and his future is limitless!"
An He didn't expect that he would be so famous in Yongcheng County, and even such two sons knew about it.
Anhe saw that Lin Changgui was here, how dare he sit on the main seat, resolutely refused, and pulled Lin Changgui to the main seat, Lin Changgui couldn't shirk it, so he had to sit down.
The three of them complimented An He again.
Changsun Heng said:
"Gongzi An is really a rare genius, if he is in business, he will definitely be able to get rich!"
The eldest grandson Heng intended to do business with An and Xiashui, thinking that with his own financial resources and An He's head, he would definitely be able to make his business bigger, so he intended to test it.
Lin Yishan hurriedly said:
"In the next is an indifferent person, usually no ambition, can be fed and clothed, safe life is enough, plus in the next usually has no business experience, the so-called "interlaced like a mountain", only afraid of a business sea, not to take off! ”
Changsun Heng thought that he looked down on businessmen, so he didn't say anything anymore.
Because in ancient China, the order of social status has always been: scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and merchants are fourth-class citizens and the last class of society.
Even if you have a lot of money and a rich party, you are nothing in front of those in power, and even the waist of the peasant brother may be straighter than you. Because behind them there is an ascending staircase that is always open.
The so-called "Chao Wei Tian Shelang and Dusk Tianzi Hall" means that as long as a person from a peasant background is willing to work hard and study hard, he may once turn over and glorify his ancestors, but such an opportunity businessman does not, because the door of the imperial examination room will always be closed to the industrial and commercial practitioners who are "full of copper smell".
In the Tang Dynasty, it was also stipulated that merchants did not ride horses, were not allowed to sit in sedan chairs, and were not allowed to wear shoes of the same color.
An He also wondered why every time he saw Lin Changgui, he wore a pair of two-color shoes, when An He thought that this old man was as fashionable as the young man in later generations, and deliberately wore two-color shoes.
Why did merchants despise so much in ancient times, there are a few poems in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing":
The car is sparse in front of the door,
The eldest married a merchant woman;
Businessmen value profit over separation,
The month before Fuliang bought tea;
Go to the estuary to guard the empty boat,
Around the boat moon and the river is cold.
These poems seem to hide the code of the spiritual world of ancient Chinese.
Businessmen value profits over separation, businessmen must first follow profits, in order to make profits, they are often careful to calculate, otherwise he can't be a businessman.
In this way of life, all other values are taken to the back burner, and this is bound to diverge from those in other industries.
Most of the ancient rulers believed in Confucianism, and regarded generosity and generosity as a virtue, and in their eyes, merchants were too stingy and had to pay more baht. It was not in line with the feudal etiquette of the time, so there was such a practice.
In ancient times, not only China but also European countries despised merchants, and when the revival of commerce in Western Europe began, the Church was deeply suspicious.
According to Christianity, greed is a heinous sin, and making money is always associated with greed. The reason why the church lends money for interest is because of the belief that it is taking advantage of the time difference to make money, that it is selling time, and that time belongs to God.
Therefore, in such an official-based society that discriminates against business, the rich may not be arrogant.
Eldest Sun Heng and Wang Zhongtian are nothing, because Wang Zhongtian is the descendant of the Wang family, the largest clan in Taiyuan, and Eldest Sun Heng is the nephew of the former Empress Changsun and the eldest grandson of Yipin Situ Changsun Wuji, who dares to look down on them!
But Lin Changgui is different, although he has a heavy pocket, but in front of those officials who hold great power and command him, he can only whisper and nod his head.
