Section 30 Generous Strokes
"Brother Hu, follow me to do something!"
In the morning, Hu Quan passed by Yang's house at a private school, and came to deliver meat by the way.
Yang Chao pulled him into the fire by the way, and to make this grand event happen, Yang Chao couldn't be busy at all.
"Where to go?"
Hu Quanxue didn't go to school, so he followed Yang Chao, but he still had to know where to go.
"Go to Nanshi Building."
Yang Chao replied.
Hu Quan said strangely: "What are you doing in Nanshi Building?" ”
Yang Chao suddenly stopped at this time, he had been thinking about it repeatedly for a long time, he wanted to do great things, and this was an opportunity.
But no one in his hand is not good, thinking about it, there is only one Hu Quan who is trustworthy around him, and even Wang Xiao is just a cooperative relationship, but Hu Quan is worthy of his trust.
This kind of feeling is not clear, it is the kind of feeling that you can only have when you grow up together and never have any interests, this is the feeling of being small, a kind of most innocent friendship feeling.
Yang Chao said very seriously: "Brother Hu, do you want to do big things with me?" ”
Hu Quan took a look at it and felt that Yang Chao was very strange, but he was not joking, the two had grown up together since childhood, whether it was a joke or not, he could see it at a glance.
But he still said uneasily: "You're not joking? ”
Yang Chao shook his head: "Who has time to laugh at you!" ”
Hu Quandao: "What the hell is wrong with you." I've been thinking you've been weird lately, and I've been feeling that way since you last fell overboard. Just like the last time you helped that scholar and earned him fifty taels of silver, I always wanted to ask you, but I didn't dare to ask. ”
Yang Chao was shocked, now he is no longer the Yang Chao of the past, but this situation was not even discovered by his parents or even his sister, but Hu Quan found out, and he couldn't help but be surprised, in the end, he was a friend who grew up since childhood, in a certain way, he saw it more real than his parents and brothers and sisters.
Yang Chao smiled: "Brother Hu, you are too careful. But I'm really going to do big things, and I just ask if you want to do it with me. ”
Hu Quan didn't hesitate: "Of course." If you want to do something big, I naturally want to help you, if you don't let me be together, you can't do it, otherwise you are still brothers. ”
Yang Chao patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother." But doing things with me, there are some things I don't say, you can't ask. And what we're going to do this time is a big thing, you just have to do it, and I'll tell you when it's done. ”
This time, it is related to the first assistant of the dynasty, and it will definitely be successful, this is an absolute big deal, Yang Chao doesn't want to be exposed through Hu Quan's mouth.
Hu Quan nodded, but his expression was a little sad.
"What's wrong, Brother Hu?"
Yang Chao noticed the change very carefully.
Hu Quan frowned and said: "Although I don't know what you're going to do, but if you want to do it, I'll do it with you, if you don't let me ask, I won't ask." I just feel like you've changed. In the past, you wouldn't hide anything from me. ”
It turned out to be this relationship, Yang Chao also felt bad, to be honest, what he did seemed to be too much, this is not the way to treat friends, but what he wants to do now and what he will do in the future is not a trivial matter, Yang Chao is also out of helplessness.
Yang Chao sighed: "Good brother, don't ask now, I'll give you an explanation later." ”
Hu Quan nodded.
The two of them went to Nanshilou this time to find Kang Cheng.
Hu Quan didn't understand what big things that little turtle man could do, but Yang Chao told him that there was one thing that was most suitable for the turtle father.
Downstairs in Nanshi, Yang Chao asked people to call Kang Cheng out, for which Yang Chao had to take out a piece of silver, because he ran into the girl last time, and the girl grabbed Yang Chao at that time, and pulled Yang Chao's ears, because Yang Chao broke his promise, and after going to Nanshi Building last time, he didn't order her at all.
Yang Chaocai broke his fortune to avoid disasters, and handed over the last broken silver on his body, nearly a penny of silver.
Kang Cheng came down quickly, and looked at Yang Chao and Hu Quan with dignity.
"You two boys, what are you looking for Lao Tzu for? Lao Tzu has been studying with Uncle Liu Jingting recently, so I don't have time to deal with you! ”
Kang Cheng is very stinky fart, he has been such a style since he was a child, he likes to brag and like to be an uncle.
Liu Jingting is a first-class storytelling master in the south of the Yangtze River, and often tells stories in Fengyue Field, just like Li Xiangjun and Liu Ru are first-rate characters among famous prostitutes, Liu Jingting is a first-rate figure in the storytelling industry, not a little turtle can make friends.
Yang Chao smiled, and Hu Quan also smiled.
Kang Cheng suddenly felt bad, and began to retreat, pointing at the two of them: "Don't mess around!" ”
The two of them had already pounced on them, and greeted them hand and foot: "Lao Tzu! Uncle Liu! Learn! ”
"Slow, slow! The two eldest brothers, there is something to say, there is something to say, and the younger brother knows that he is wrong. ”
Kang Cheng hurriedly replied, while holding his head back and forth, the female prostitutes downstairs in Nanshi watched the excitement one after another, Yang Chao and Hu Quan had never done such a fight in the past, and the best way to do things for Kang Cheng was to beat him.
Seeing Kang regret replying, the two stopped.
Hu Quan snorted: "You kid is still so virtuous, if you don't give you some power, you won't know how to be obedient." ”
Kang Cheng smiled: "What Brother Hu said is true." ”
Yang Chao said: "Okay! I'm going to get down to business, I'm going to do a big thing, a grand event. You have to hire a group of celebrities, you know how to do it. ”
Kang was stunned: "Will you do it?" Baume & Mercier, please? Why are you? ”
Yang Chao said with a smile: "Liu Ruis and Li Xiangjun's names, is it enough?" ”
Kang was shocked: "You found these two people?" Really? ”
Yang Chao said: "No jokes! ”
Kang Cheng smiled: "That's enough." ”
Yang Chao said: "Okay, you can inquire about me now, there are those famous people in Nanjing City now, you can help me invite them." ”
Kang Cheng smiled and said, "You kid has been developed recently!" But if you want me to do things, you have to understand the rules. ”
Yang Chao said: "Don't worry, your benefits are indispensable, after the matter is completed, the tattoo is fifty taels of silver!" ”
Friends return to friends, and this turtle only recognizes money in his eyes.
After hearing the fifty taels of silver, Kang regretted that he was satisfied.
Yang Chao finally advised: "You do it carefully, we will find a room in Nanshi Building later, and we will discuss it together." ”
Kang repented: "Don't worry! ”
"Brother Yang, where are we going now?"
Leaving Nanshi Building, Hu Quan asked.
"Ruan's River House!"
"Ruan Dacheng's family?"
Hu Quan was taken aback.
Yang Chao nodded.
Ruan Dacheng's reputation is not good, especially among scholars, Ruan Dacheng is idle at home after losing his official position, but he has never given up, always looking for an opportunity to re-enter the officialdom.
A few years ago, Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army attacked Nanzhili, and Ruan Dacheng was brave enough to fight, so he recruited idle heroes in Nanjing, intending to organize a rebel army.
At this time, a group of young scholars in Nanjing, mainly hundreds of people from the Fushe Society, jointly wrote an article, in which they vigorously criticized Ruan Dacheng for recruiting private soldiers with ulterior motives, and sent people to post them everywhere in Nanjing, which frightened Ruan Dacheng and quickly dismissed his family and hid in the countryside.
This incident was regarded as a victory that could not be ignored by the young scholars in Jiangnan, and they were proud of it.
Since then, he has become even more contemptuous of Ruan Dacheng, and has been completely killed to the opposite side.
Yang Chao didn't care about these, on the contrary, the peasant army was raging, these scholars only knew empty talk, but Ruan Dacheng at that time was quite kind, although the purpose was not pure, it was to make a reputation for himself, but he was always more effective than those who only knew empty talk.
Although he went to Ruan Dacheng's house, Hu Quan did not object, and Yang Chao would go to him.
When they arrived at the gate of Ruan's house, Hu Quan was waiting outside, and Yang Chao went in alone.
Yang Chao was already very confident, and when he said what he thought, he was really recognized by Ruan Dacheng.
Yang Chao had expected this result a long time ago, because what he designed was exactly what Ruan Dacheng needed.
In fact, Ruan Dacheng has much more experience than Yang Chao, and Ruan Dacheng was also a man of the year in Nanjing in the past.
When the political struggle failed, he was implicated and dismissed by the eunuch party, but he was unwilling to be bland, so he stayed in Nanjing, relying on his talent, often invited famous prostitutes to the painting boat, song building, held large and small poetry meetings, word meetings, and he was also good at writing scripts, these scripts were performed by famous actors in Liyuan, and for a while, Ruan Dacheng's reputation overshadowed all the scribes.
Therefore, Ruan Dacheng was still deeply jealous of the talents, so when Ruan Dacheng wanted to rely on the peasant army to approach Nanjing and organize the righteous army to make credit, the Nanjing scribes and talents jointly wrote an article to report Ruan Dacheng's ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned intentions.
Only then did Ruan Dacheng force him away from Nanjing, and he was completely ruined.
Therefore, Ruan Dacheng was also very excited to make a name for himself with the help of the assembly, but he couldn't do it himself, because his reputation was already stinking, and there were no scribes, famous prostitutes and beauties to make friends with him, and he couldn't invite famous prostitutes and talents with weight at all.
So when Yang Chao said it, Ruan Dacheng was one hundred satisfied, but he was very worried about his bad reputation, so he could only let Yang Chao come forward to solve it.
Yang Chao had already considered this problem, so he kept it secret, and even Liu Ru and Li Xiangjun didn't know about Ruan Dacheng.
This made Ruan Dacheng very satisfied, but Ruan Dacheng still had some scruples about Liu Ru's request to invite Qian Qianyi, the old Donglin, because although Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru were both Donglin giants, the two were also political enemies, and they had a deep suspicion.
However, Ruan Dacheng thought that he was just seeking to improve relations with the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi was also a Donglin giant, Qian Qianyi could participate in his own meeting, which could also represent Donglin to a certain extent, as for the relationship between Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru, there was no need to worry.
In Ruan Dacheng's view, the possibility of Zhou Yanru becoming the first assistant again is very small, and a person like Zhou Yanru who was dismissed from office served as the first assistant again after many years, and there was no precedent in the Ming Dynasty.
After some discussion, Ruan Dacheng suggested that Yang Chao invite more famous prostitutes, which would have a greater impact.
Yang Chao also wants to invite more, but it takes money to hire a famous prostitute.
Yang Chao had already inquired, even if Liu Ru and Li Xiangjun agreed to participate in order to help Zhou Yanru again, but they had to wrap a negotiation fee for them afterwards, and it was not less, how could a famous prostitute of their status get one or two hundred taels of silver for one person.
Of course, it's okay not to give it, the reputation is not good, and it will be laughed at by the scribes and talents in the entire Nanjing City, not only will it fail to achieve the goal of helping Ruan Dacheng, but it will further make people laugh at him, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.
But Ruan Dacheng is rich, and there is more money than Yang Chao imagined, Yang Chao only knows that this guy has been a big official and has a family background, but he doesn't know that his family has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and his money is not earned by being an official, but in order to be an official, a lot of money is pasted in.
Under Ruan Dacheng's guarantee that he would not have to scruple to spend money, Yang Chao simply let go of his hands and feet, and simply invited all the famous prostitutes in the city, such a momentum must be enough to convey Ruan Dacheng's mind to Donglin.
As soon as Yang Chao's proposal came out, even Ruan Dacheng sighed again and again that it was a big deal!
