Chapter 164: Books and People

Chang'an City, Yang Mansion.

There are a lot of people in Yang Guozhong's mansion, most of them are officials who come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, and they are basically brought up by Yang Guozhong.

Prime Minister Yang is in power, selling officials and lords is well known, and if you have money, you can do official money, and the money will naturally be sent to Lord Yang, although there are no important positions in the capital, but official positions in other places are easy to buy, most of these officials lack cultural knowledge, and recognize money as a pro, this time coincides with the old emperor's birthday, and if you have the conditions, you will naturally have to go on a trip.

When you come to Beijing, you must first report to Yang's mansion, this is the rule, Yang Guozhong generously entertained these people (provided that he sent a lot of property), and then returned to the study to rest.

In the afternoon, I was always sleepy, and I was just about to stare at it, but a little old man in a green shirt came in outside the door, and Yang Guozhong got up impatiently to meet him.

"Yang Gong, I got a poem by the horse here, you can make a fuss."

Yang Guozhong's eyes were suspicious, and he yawned, but the paper came to unfold and glanced at it.

"This poem is definitely written by the horse himself, or was it bought at a high price from the little prince after a lot of twists and turns, and there is also a payment!" The man said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Yang Guozhong looked at it impatiently, looked at it for a while, and exclaimed: "Is this really written by that donkey?" ”

Then a sinister smile appeared......

When I went back from the palace, it was already afternoon, and I went directly to the bank, and Li must have been waiting there.

When she entered the bank, Yumo was busy in the bank with a stack of documents, and the service staff at the window called her directly if there was anything, the bank's business was too busy these days, Yumo was running back and forth in the hall at this time, and she couldn't take care of it, and when she saw Xu Chen coming, her serious look was soothed.

There are many people in the hall, and Fu Cheng Lao Li, as the lobby manager, maintains good order, answers customers' questions, and can also make the window service staff more efficient.

It's mostly because the news of Yang Cai's loan shark closure has spread in the capital, since Xu Chen has seized the opportunity to send it to the door, he will definitely not let it go, the gossip has been completely released, but there is no movement on Yang Cai's side, and it is already difficult for him to turn over.

Unexpectedly, after the bank defense war, Yang Cai not only did not make an effective counterattack, but actually disarmed and surrendered, as for the inside story, Xu Chen did not find out, but the result was undoubtedly beneficial to himself, no, the bank's business suddenly became several times more than usual, and the vast majority of customers were traders in the capital.

Of course, the most important reason is because of the bank's good policy, not to mention the low interest, and it is difficult to find money in the world when you save money!

There are not many available manpower, and in recent days, we can only train new people while expanding our business, and it is too normal to work overtime, and the welfare is naturally very good, but such a store obviously cannot meet such a big demand, and the bank has begun to make profits, and the next branch and venture capital are imminent.

What is the limelight, Xu Chen doesn't know much, literally it is an investment, a little risky, but Xu Chen will definitely not do something uncertain, such as investing in the restaurant of the eldest princess's mansion, the Zhang family's bookstore is a more reliable business.

As soon as Lao Li saw Xu Yuma coming in, he hurriedly left the guest in front of him, ran over, nodded at Xu Chen, shh ”

Lao Li is grumpy face, he can't understand the new word, this colt is too faceless, he is also the head of the Tang Dynasty, not the head of the lobby.

He smiled and glanced at Yumo and went straight to the office, Yumo was busy at this time, and she didn't want to disturb her, the current state of the two people, one look is to communicate a lot of things, and a smile is deeply comforting.

Li Ye has already come, he is sitting in the office drinking tea and playing in a daze, his upper eyelids are dry and his lower eyelids are dry, Xu Chen came in and saw that this guy was still wandering, it is estimated that he was too tired to monitor the Cui family in the past two days, but when he saw this kid, he always had the urge to make a mistake, and he itched badly if he didn't hit him twice.

A slap woke up directly, Li Ye jumped up from the chair with a cleverness, the Tang Dynasty was not the kind of Taishi chair he sat on, the backrest was very short, and Li Ye jumped and knocked over the water cup on the coffee table to the ground.

I didn't expect this kid to have such a big reaction, and after seeing that it was Xu Chen, he was busy straightening his clothes, his face changed like turning a book, and his frightened expression instantly returned to a smile: "Brother-in-law, can't you be gentle!" I'm having nightmares! ”

"If you do too many bad things, you will naturally have nightmares." Xu Chen sat down and said with a smile.

"Didn't you slap yourself in the face! I'm here for you! Li also smiled.

Xu Chen picked up his fist and pretended to fight, Li also begged for mercy again and again, and hurriedly said: "There is business, there is business!" ”

That's why I gave up, and now I came here for the sake of Yumo, and I didn't mess with Li Ye anymore, and signaled Li to say that there was a fart if I had something to say.

"In the past few days, I have sent someone to monitor Cui Zhiming at night, which can be described as sleeping in the open air, going out day and night, and working hard......"

Xu Chen immediately interrupted Li Ye's nonsense with a slap: Talk about the point!

"Ah, that, I've got the letter of repentance, what should I do next?" Li also rubbed his head and said.

"Don't move, your ancestors protect Yumo at night, and when the birthday banquet is over, I will meet him in person."

"Understood, hey, brother-in-law, you've been writing a book lately? What is "Shangxitian", which is being discussed in the streets and alleys today. ”

Xu Chen was also surprised, he even knew how to sell a book, and after thinking about it carefully, it must be Zhang Yu's brother selling the book in his own name, but he is a bit business-minded.

"How's the book selling?"

"As soon as the people heard that you wrote it, they all grabbed it like crazy, and I heard that even your nemesis Chen Wenxuan, the arrogant poet, grabbed the book, and didn't line up and cut the queue and ended up fighting with others, in short, your book is outrageously popular."

The subtext in my heart is, "Then don't look at my fame." "But this kind of pretending to be forced, it's awkward to say it, this Xiao Zhang's sales ability is really not covered, but in his own name, he always feels that it is not good, stealing the fruits of other people's labor.

Not good.

At dusk, I had a meal with Li, and the people in the capital were crowded because of Li San's birthday banquet, and the number of foreign friends walking on the street gradually increased, and most of them held a tourist attitude to see the world's first city, and the curfew at night increased the number of troops, but the curfew time was much later.

The day after tomorrow is the birthday banquet and birthday gift is stepping up the development, originally made one, Xu Chen felt that it was not very qualified, so he redid it, of course, pretending to be realistic, pretending to be rigorous, and pretending to be impeccable
