Chapter 113: Questioning
Seeing off An Lushan, Yang Guozhong came to the inner room with a smile, and after a while, Mrs. Qiu Guo, who lived opposite the door, and Yang Yuyao, the third sister of the concubine, walked in, and the room was immediately full of fragrance.
Seeing that Yang Guozhong was so happy, Yang Yuyao smiled and said, "Third brother, what is Hu'er looking for you, why are you so happy." ”
"It's nothing, he wants me to deal with Liang Guogong Xiao with him......" Yang Guozhong smiled and told Yang Yuyao everything just now.
As early as twenty-two years ago, when Yang Guifei's father Yang Xuanyan died, Yang Guozhong took the opportunity to help take care of the funeral and secretly hooked up with Yang Yuyao, the third sister of the Yang family, who was still a girl.
At that time, Yang Guozhong was still a casino gangster, and he was very unhappy, and Yang Yuyao gave all his private money to Yang Guozhong. Helplessly, Yang Guozhong was too angry, and he lost it all when he changed hands, so he had no shame to see Yang Yuyao again.
Seven years ago, Yang Yuhuan was registered as a concubine, and Yang Guozhong, who was still called Yang Zhao at the time, was assigned to Beijing to give gifts by Zhang Qiu and Qiong, who were then the envoys of Jiannan Jiedu, because of this kinship.
It just so happened that Yang Yuyao, the third sister of Yang, was recently widowed, so the two hooked up again and got together again, and now, the two are almost lovers known to everyone in Chang'an. Or go with each other, or with the car, day and night, five drums to be leaked, never avoid suspicion.
Yang Yuyao listened to him with a smile and asked, "What are the plans of the third brother?" ”
Yang Guozhong smiled and said, "Third sister, what do you think I should do?" ”
"I think this Liang Guogong is very sensible, he will send us any good things, and he runs the Four Seas Trading Company and gives us dividends.
Besides, Yuhuan values him very much, I don't think there is any need to be an enemy of Na Hu'er and Na Xiao, he is our god of wealth. ”
Yang Yuyao has a very good impression of Xiao Quai, and when she thinks of Yang Guifei, she will not forget to take a share of the three sisters.
For example, soap and rose glycerin are sold out in supermarkets around the world. No matter how many noble ladies want to buy, they can't buy it, but they want to have it, and the sense of superiority comes out at once.
And after Xiao Quzhi installed the water pipes of the Sihai Supermarket, he also sent someone to install a set of bamboo water pipes for Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace and the house of their three sisters, and the mahogany flush toilet was really comfortable to use.
Although An Lushan also scolded them. But the things sent by An Lushan were far less novel and interesting than those sent by Xiao Quai. The most important thing is that Xiao Qubing is now helping them make money, and they have a share of the Four Seas Trading Company.
Yang Guozhong leaned comfortably on Yang Yuyao's plump body, with a smile on his face: "That's right, my plan is to promise Na Hu'er openly and let Na Hu'er help me deal with Li Linfu together."
As for Xiao Qu's illness, I didn't actually contribute, and I didn't turn my face with him for the time being. Let Na Hu'er and Xiao Qu fight each other to the death, and we will reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"Yes. That's it. Let them fight, and when the time comes, both will come to us, and we will not want what we want? Yang Yuyao laughed happily, and then got down to business: "Yes, third brother, have you done what I want you to do?" ”
Yang Guozhong stood up, took a small box from the shelf and opened it. He smiled proudly: "I personally went out to do it, how could I not do it." ”
Yang Yuyao excitedly turned out the box. Inside is a set of patterns of Tang gold and silver coins that have not yet been issued. Yang Yuyao excitedly picked up the one or two gold coins, and suddenly felt that the gold flowers in front of her were all shiny gold coins, and her head was full of the sound of counting money.
Yang Yuyao's hand greedily stroked the gold coin, and finally rested on Li Longji's avatar and the gears of the inner circle. He was excited and regretful: "This Xiao Quzhi is too serious in doing things, why do you make these gold and silver coins so exquisite and exquisite!" ”
Yang Guozhong took out the five-dollar silver coin from the box and put it in Yang Yuyao's hand, and sighed with some regret and said: "Gold coins are not easy to counterfeit, because the color and weight are too different; Second, those who can afford to use gold coins are naturally powerful and wealthy, how can these people be willing to suffer?
So your main business is still the minting of silver coins. With white copper, tin and lead, while no one else has a pattern now, you quickly take it back and make more molds, and when New Year's Day arrives, you can mint it in large quantities. Then redeem it through your cabinet. ”
Cabinet shops are the prototype of the earliest banks and money banks, and they are merchants specializing in the business of storing and lending coins. However, unlike the money banks and banks of later generations, the cabinet houses in the Tang and Song dynasties not only did not have interest on deposits, but had to pay the cabinet store custody fees.
Of course, if someone wants to borrow money from the cabinet, they will have to pay a higher interest rate.
If Li Linfu is a slave of power, then Yang Yuyao, the wife of the Kingdom of Qiu, is a slave of money. This woman's pursuit of money is simply obsessive and perverted.
In the entire Chang'an City, she has to intervene in any money-making business, and Yang Yuyao will certainly not let go of the cabinet shop, the most profitable business. In the east and west cities of Chang'an, as well as Pingkangfang, Qinrenfang, Xuanyangfang and other aristocratic residential areas, there are cabinet shops opened by him.
Yang Yuyao thought for a while and said, "Still casting in large quantities?" How much private money can be minted at a time just by melting real coins? As the secretary of Taifu, can't you take out some of the 200,000 catties of silver ingots brought back by the Anxi army? ”
Yang Guozhong sighed and said: "You said it yourself, this Xiao Quai's work is too serious, he stuck this matter to death, and when he left, he handed it over to An to Lu Yi, a nerd in the matter, to supervise, and the transfer and storage were guarded by soldiers of the Anxi Army."
These gold and silver that are about to melt down coinage, even I, the Taifuqing, can't do anything about it. Could it be that I should bring you the fine silverware registered in His Majesty's Great Treasury? ”
Yang Yuyao was a little unhappy: "This Xiao Qu's illness is really hateful, third brother, do you want to help Na Hu'er suppress him a little......"
Xiao Quai, who was eight hundred miles away, didn't know that someone was calculating him like this, and he was being scolded at the moment.
The former Youzhou assassin Shi Kang Shennu had already caught up with Xiao Quai, and was captured alive, but the commander of the snake tooth, the white-clothed swordsman Zhang Xiancheng, let him run away.
On the other side, on the battlefield on the south bank, after the right army that pursued Xiao Qubing was killed by Xiao Qubing in the hundreds, the rest of the rout was killed by more than 1,000 Hu troops in 2,000 six states, ran away more than 1,000, and the rest all disarmed and surrendered.
And when Li Sheng also saw the arrival of the Shuofang army from a distance, he ordered more than 1,900 Tang troops to turn defense into attack, and he took Li Qi, Nan Jiyun, Amirjiang, Gu Xiaojun and several other fierce generals to attack the Chinese army where Tuoba Shou Lin was located, and also successfully captured Tuoba Shou Lin alive.
About half of the 20,000 Dangxiang Baqiang cavalry were killed under the blows of more than 1,900 Tang troops, more than 2,000 ran away, and more than 6,000 dismounted and surrendered.
"Xiao Quai, you butcher executioner! A small number of outlaw bandits in our party Xiang clan were bewitched by the snake tooth reward of 5 million and attacked the Tang army. They deserve it when you killed them, but why did you order the sweep of our party's eight tribes? What sin are they to be killed by you?
You bloody butcher, you don't even let go of innocent children who haven't grown up yet, do you really feel at ease when you do such a thing that has lost your conscience? Can you really sleep soundly at night? Aren't you afraid that evil spirits will come and ask for your life?
You are a murderer, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost! ”
When Xiao Qubing came back with Kang Shennu, Tuoba Shou Silence, who was already injured and was still escorted by two Tang soldiers, looked like crazy, struggling and yelling at Xiao Quai. (To be continued.) )
