is indeed a big deal, even when Ruan Dacheng was at his most beautiful, he never did a rally to invite all the famous prostitutes in the city.

It's not that there is no money to invite, but it's very difficult to do, just a general poetry meeting and a word meeting, which can't attract all famous prostitutes at all.

Moreover, those famous prostitutes are not close to each other, and the degree of intrigue between each other for fame and fortune is no less complicated than the complexity of officialdom.

Now it's up to Yang Chao to find a way to do all this, and these problems are all Yang Chao's.

However, Ruan Dacheng is also very reasonable, and before going out, he gave Yang Chao a meeting ticket, the format and content are different from Wang Xiao's, it is another meeting ticket called Wanyuan Tongshang Silver Shop, with a face value of 3,000 taels, which is used as Yang Chao's funds for hiring famous prostitutes and holding gatherings, and told Yang Chao that he can get it at any time, and if it is not enough, tell himself at any time.

Leaving Ruan Dacheng's house, Yang Chao gave Hu Quan three thousand taels of two taels directly and asked him to get three hundred taels of silver immediately.

After getting the money back, he went to Nanshi Building to meet Yang Chao.

Hu Quan held the ticket, couldn't help but be excited, his hands couldn't help trembling, although his family is a butcher, richer than the Yang family, Hu Quan has a lot of pocket money since he was a child, but he has never seen so much money.

What made Hu Quan even more excited was that Yang Chao dared to hand over such a large ticket directly to him, this kind of trust made him feel like a soldier was dying for his confidant, nodded vigorously, and went to withdraw the money.

Find Kang Cheng, on the third floor of the South City Building, and Bisha's house, which is quiet here.

The most important thing is that Wang Xiao is also here, Wang Xiao is in Nanjing City, generally does not live in his house, basically stays in the Qinglou overnight, and because he got good luck here in Bisha last time, he settled Shi Kefa, Wang Xiao came back this time, and he directly wrapped Bisha, and lived here for a long time, Yang Chao is right to find Wang Xiao here.

Sure enough, Wang Xiao was there, and when he saw Yang Chao and heard Yang Chao say that he had come to discuss the meeting, he was immediately very excited.

"Brother Yang, I can't hide it, after the younger brother came back from Huai'an. I'll see you as soon as possible, and then I'll be back to Hangzhou soon. My father deliberately rushed back from Guangdong, anxious to know the situation of Master Shi. ”

"It was because of this meeting that the younger brother deliberately stayed and wrote to explain to his father. My father replied and asked my younger brother to stay here and fully cooperate with Brother Yang to do this well. Brother Yang has orders, and the little brother doesn't dare to disobey! ”

"Drink!"

Wang Xiao pulled Yang Chao and persuaded him to drink.

The vision and courage of these businessmen, Yang Chao has some appreciation.

At this time, there were few people in the room, and Bisha was playing the piano in the piano room behind the bead curtain, and the description was looming.

There were only two girls waiting.

Yang Chao didn't shy away from these girls, and began to talk.

"Haha, Brother Wang, don't drink the wine yet. There is something I want to trouble Brother Wang. When this assembly is over, I want to ask Brother Wang for a favor, and the younger brother wants to buy an official. I don't know if Brother Wang has a way? ”

Yang Chao has long planned to buy officials, but he has never had the opportunity, and this rally is also an opportunity, not only to get involved with Shoufu, but also to get to know some officials in the Donglin Party.

When the time comes, you can buy a petty official first, enter the climbing track, and try to accumulate the strength to change the situation before the chaos comes.

If Wang Xiao has a relationship, Yang Chao will naturally not be too little, at least Wang Xiao is more sincere, and he has already cooperated once, which is worthy of trust.

If you buy a petty official, you won't need those larger relationships, and those relationships will be more appropriate to use when you climb in the future.

Wang Xiao put down the wine glass and asked cautiously, "I don't know if Brother Yang wants to buy a civil official or a military attaché?" ”

Although he showed generosity and righteousness, he was still a businessman in the final analysis, and when it came to serious things, he was still cautious.

Yang Chao knew that he was relieved, and he was not surprised to ask: "What about the civil officials, what about the military attachés?" ”

Wang Xiao said: "If you are a civil official, you must at least be a person, and with the fame of a person, there are many vacancies in the county order today." ”

In fact, Yang Chao knew very well that he could not buy a civil official to be a civil official, although the various systems collapsed to the edge, but until the demise, the civil official system of the Ming Dynasty could be implemented relatively well, which was much stronger than the Qing Dynasty in later generations.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Yang Chao, who has no fame, to be a civil official, and he knows it in his heart, just asking.

Yang Chao's real purpose is to be a military attaché, not only because military attachés do not need fame, but more importantly, military attachés can master force, and only with force can they protect themselves and grasp actual power.

Whether it is for the world or for himself, Yang Chao needs power.

Wang Xiao paused and continued: "If it's a military attaché. There are not so many conditions. However, there are few real jobs and many false jobs. Don't hide it from Brother Yang, the younger brother also has a false position as a thousand generals, and he is a thousand general managers in Yangzhou Wei. ”

After the Ming Dynasty Zheng He went to the West, the navy was increasingly slackened, and Zhu Yuanzhang set up more than 10 large and small anti-Japanese guard posts along the coast, with the Ming Dynasty becoming strong and prosperous, after the Japanese invaders disappeared, especially after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, many guards along the coast were transferred to both sides of the Grand Canal to be responsible for canal transportation.

These soldiers of the river defense station are conventionally called transporters.

The Wang family is engaged in the canal business, so most of the children of the Wang family have temporary military attachés.

To be a civil official, at least have a meritorious name, and then it is possible to serve as a low-level official at the county level, if you want to have a good position, you naturally need to take money to operate, this meritorious name is equivalent to a diploma, and those who have a diploma may not have real skills, but those who do not have a diploma will not have a chance.

Yang Chao is not even a showman, so it is impossible to be a civil official, so he can only choose to be a military attaché, but Yang Chao doesn't want to be too far away from home, at least he doesn't want to go to Yangzhou to be a military attaché.

So Yang Chao asked: "Is there a military attache who has a real job and is in Nanjing?" ”

Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "This is not easy to find." If it's a fictitious job, it's okay at any time. And my family is in Nanjing, although it doesn't have much to do with it. If Brother Yang is willing, he can buy a fictitious job first, and he is trying to find a way to become a real job. ”

Yang Chao said this, he didn't have much hope, he was counting on Shi Kefa, but when he heard that the Wang family had a way, it was already an accident, and nodded: "Then bother Brother Wang to pay attention." ”

Yang Chao knew that Shi Kefa was a member of the Southern Ming Dynasty in the end, and he mainly presided over the military, and he was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

However, at this time, he was still the governor of Caoyun, and obviously he had not had the opportunity to let Yang Chao be a military attache near Nanjing, so Yang Chao was not in a hurry.

If Wang Xiao has a relationship, he will get a fictitious position for himself, and when Shi Kefa becomes the secretary of the Ministry of War, it should not be difficult to change it to a real position.

The key is Shi Kefa, Yang Chao asked: "I don't know what the relationship between Brother Wang and Master Shi is?" ”

Wang Xiao said last time, Shi Kefa said that he would no longer pursue the Wang family's crimes, scolded him, and warned the Wang family to act with conscience in the future, otherwise he would not let the Wang family go.

However, such words may not be credible when officials say this.

Wang Xiao sighed: "Hey, I was scolded, although Master Shi promised not to pursue my family's sins." But later, he refused to accept the gift, and almost sent someone to beat the younger brother with a board. I'm afraid it's hard to get in touch with Master Shi for a while. ”

Yang Chao was a little surprised, but also a little regretful, he didn't expect Shi Kefa to admit death so much, since he had promised to release people, but he refused to be reconciled with others, and he was really a little different from other officials.

Originally, he wanted to get in touch with Shi Kefa through the Wang family, but now the Wang family can't contact Shi Kefa himself, and it's really difficult to do.

But Yang Chao doesn't have to worry, he didn't put all his eggs in one basket, this time to help Ruan Dayue, he should be able to get to know many Donglin Party members, and it is also another way, without Shi Kefa, he can't stop Yang Chao's will to grasp power.

But the rally is becoming more and more important.

Soon, Hu Quan finally arrived at Nanshi Building, with a burden in his arms, sweating profusely.

Sweating is not only because he is tired, but also worried, the burden is filled with three hundred taels of silver, all of which are ten taels of silver ingots, full of thirty, the weight is needless to say, the key is that along the way, Hu Quan looks at everyone like a thief, but whenever someone looks at him, he has a weak heart, he has never seen so much silver.

"This is Brother Hu, right?"

Wang Xiao was very enthusiastic, and after seeing Hu Quan, he immediately greeted him.

Hu Quan nodded: "Are you?" ”

Yang Chao introduced: "This is Wang Gongzi, a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou. ”

Hu Quan had heard about Yang Chao and knew that Yang Chao had met two wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou, one was the Zhou Gongzi, whom Hu Quan had seen, and the other was this Wang Gongzi, whom Hu Quan had never seen.

Hu Quan hurriedly said: "I've seen Wang Gongzi." ”

The two warmed up with each other, pulled them to sit down, and Wang Xiao persuaded them to drink again.

"Girl, I'm tired of calling for repentance!"

Seeing that Hu Quan was also back, Yang Chao ordered a girl next to him to ask Kang to come over.

The girl soon came back with Kang Cheng.

"Brother Yang, here."

This time, Kang regret's attitude was very respectful, but it also seemed a little strange.

Yang Chao scolded with a smile: "What do you pretend, come and sit, let's discuss." ”

With that, Lacan sat down in repentance.

Kang regretted that he dared to sit down.

Before he knew it, he had put himself in a lower position.

This is also a matter of habit, being a turtle in Nanshi Building, it is not good to have no eyes, at this time, seeing that Yang Chao has no shelf, he also sat down with confidence.

On the other side, Hu Quan couldn't resist Wang Xiao's offensive, and had already drunk several glasses in a row, his face was red, and he was up.

Yang Chao snorted: "Okay, don't drink it." Now let me start with a few words, this time we are going to do a big thing. You can't do great things without a team, and I announce that our team is now formed! ”
