Chapter 271: Invited Judges
As the emperor said, Yang Zhizong has great ability, and all things are complicated together, so it's no wonder that he is not busy.
Busy is busy, busy but not chaotic.
Since Yang Zhidezi, all the specific matters derived from Xu Wenhan's marriage have been handed over to Qin Kongyun. But after all, there is a thousand-year gap, and many key nodes need to be done by Yang Zhi himself.
The Qin family is a world-renowned business magnate, and his status is even more transcendent when he stays out of the way and only organizes, presides over and judges. To put it bluntly, the Qin family is not at the same level as many wealthy businessmen and tycoons who are eager to do so, so they don't play with you. From any point of view, this matter is beneficial to the Qin family, and it is not discounted in the slightest way.
Yang Zhi is busy, like most young parents in his previous life, naming his child is a process that is both enjoyable and struggling. In my spare time, I didn't think about the names of the two children, but I thought about the names of the boys and girls. But when it came to the end, I always felt that this was very suitable, and that was not bad, but I couldn't make up my mind.
The most intolerable thing for Yang Zhi is that the enthusiasm of the old man Yang Yan and his father-in-law Shen Zitong is also unprecedentedly high.
Shen Zitong's several names, even Yang Zhi looked dizzy and couldn't recognize them all. In those years, dictionaries and Hanyu Pinyin were not popularized, and the vast majority of people were illiterate or semi-literate. When your child grows up, what do you ask others to call him? After a cursory glance, he tossed aside: save it for your own grandchildren!
The old man's name is easy to understand and festive: Yang Fugui. Yang Zhi smiled happily, but he also laughed so much that the old man's heart was furious: "Dad, this one is called Yang Fugui." Shouldn't the next one be called Yang Facai? ”
Yang Mansion Tianding rushed to congratulate him as soon as possible, and no one would be missing Zhao Qi, the king of Yue. His mother, Concubine Mei, is known as a virtuous lady and a benevolent woman. He has always maintained a keen sense of politics and a high degree of vigilance. Due to Concubine Mei's strict control and Yang Zhi's deliberate estrangement, after the fall of the crown prince. In fact, Zhao Qi rarely came to the Yang Mansion.
Zhao Qi is extremely talented in power and strategy, and now is a sensitive period for the kings to compete for the crown prince, and Yang Zhi is more and more reluctant to provoke. Helplessly, this kid is not only a genuine prince and prince who is fake, but also a buddy with the old man Yang Yan, and everyone in the Yang Mansion is familiar with him. As long as he wants to come, who can stop him?
Yang Zhi excused himself to be busy, so he just politely said hello and ignored him. This kid is very calm, first he found the old man to meet and hate the nonsense of the old man for a long time, and then he took the prince's shelf. I went to see the little nephew who was not a genuine nephew, and went to visit the sister-in-law of a mother's compatriot. After going around in a big circle, he came to Yang Zhi again.
"Brother-in-law, congratulations on your happy son!"
"Thank you, Lord Wang. But you've already congratulated you once. ”
"Brother-in-law, in fact, you also know that I have a lot of friends ...... do business."
"Lord, who you are friends with and who you are friends with, you should tell the emperor or Concubine Mei. I'm busy. ”
Zhao Qi didn't like to stay in the palace honestly since he was a child, and often wandered in the streets. Whether it's true or not. There are indeed many "friends" of the three religions and nine streams. This kid rarely has a positive shape, and at this time, the two eyeballs were dripping and spinning, which immediately aroused Yang Zhi's vigilance: since he mentioned a friend who did business, he must have come to negotiate with him for bidding and business. It shouldn't have been asked by a businessman. Want to cut the queue through the back door? Or just fool around with a few pieces of silver? Then I'm going to a fart!
No matter how cunning Zhao Qi is, it is always a child's heart. His face began to be a little unbearable: "If it weren't for the fear of punishment from my father and mother, I would have to grind with you here?" Can you hear me finish? ”
The fox's tail is exposed, right? Yang Zhi still didn't let go: "Lord Wang." We can talk about everything, but not about money. This is a matter of principle. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Zhao Qi said impatiently: "Okay, okay!" It's not that you don't know. No amount of silver is so rare for me, can I be so guarded against me? Let me tell you! In recent months, my mother has been very strictly guarded, and I am about to get sick in the palace! The tricks you came up with for bidding and business negotiation have already been spread, and they must be fun. I don't care, anyway, you have to find a way to help me put on a serious name, let me see the whole thing! ”
Dare to love is what it is! Yang Zhi hesitated: "It's not that it's not negotiable...... ”
"What are you discussing?" Zhao Qi immediately climbed up the pole: "Those stupid turtles with no eyesight don't know the goods, and they only dare to say behind your back that you are asking for money and shameless nonsense." They don't want to think about how many of those rich businessmen and tycoons with thousands of dollars in their pockets will be stupid? Is anyone's money blown by a strong wind? ”
"It's good to be foolish! My father and mother won't stop it, and the two royal brothers won't care, and I don't get in the way. I'm a prince anyway, if I openly come forward to help you shout, those rich businessmen will only come more, and the more you earn, won't you? Brother-in-law, you don't suffer! ”
This kid was actually in one sentence, and Yang Zhi was immediately defeated by him. After a moment's thought, he said, "That's right." But what should I give you a name? …… Judges! Invited Judges! ”
The term guest judge, although new, is not difficult to understand. Zhao Qi only listened to Yang Zhi's explanation, and then happily asked Qin Kongyun to implement it.
The next day, at the first bidding meeting of Xufu, Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, appeared as a mysterious guest and served as a special guest judge, which really attracted a lot of attention, and many businessmen attending the meeting felt more and more that the five thousand taels of silver that signed up for the admission were not unjustly spent.
The second highlight of the bidding meeting is that the door of Xufu is crowded, but the venue is orderly. The reason why the security work is so in place is only because in the middle of the gate of Xufu, there is an elegant weapon rack with two blades: the nine-stone strong bow and the Xia army's standard single knife. The sandalwood plaque on the weapon rack reads: The military blade used by Yang Zhi, the first-class flying tiger marquis of the Great Xia Qinfeng.
With these two evil suppression artifacts, plus more than a dozen heavily armed Qin clan private guards, it was enough. As for the several Ouchi guards accompanying Zhao Qi, they were the icing on the cake unexpectedly. Yang Zhi knew that the emperor had a hard time, and he was extremely tired of it. Therefore, I did not plan to call in the forbidden army or the inner court guards from the beginning, so as not to cause trouble. Talking about other names for no reason.
The third highlight of the bidding meeting is, of course, the fruitful results that make people's eyes straight.
Pay a deposit of 100,000 taels in advance. Charging 5,000 taels of registration and admission fees, the original main purpose. It is to set a threshold with a considerable height. The deposit of the unsuccessful bidder will be refunded in full, and the deposit of the winning bidder can be used to offset the relevant expenses. The registration fee alone is a net income of 150,000 taels. The first batch of more than 40 kinds of things is divided into nine categories of bidding, the value of free sponsorship is negligible, and the net income of advertising expenses is 220,000 taels. The total income of the two items was as high as 370,000 taels, which greatly exceeded Yang Zhi's original expectations.
After the bidding meeting ended, the signing of the contract documents and the payment of silver and other specific affairs were naturally done by the shopkeeper, account office and men selected by the Qin family. Zhao Qi and Qin Kongyun came to the Yang Mansion together. After working for most of the day early in the morning, both of them were very hungry. Yang Zhi instructed the kitchen to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes, and the three of them talked while eating.
Although Qin Kongyun personally organized and presided over the whole process and planned and participated in the whole process from beginning to end, he was still extremely shocked in his heart. Business can really do that! After today's actual combat verification, it is not difficult to imagine what an astonishing number Yang Zhi's income will be after several happy events.
Zhao Qi was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he couldn't get enough of it: "Today is the first game." Does that mean there's a second or third game? Business meetings should also be on these days, right? Interesting, interesting! ”
While eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, the doorman came to report: "Lord Hou, the old man Wang is visiting." ”
"Oh?" On such occasions. Zhao Qi was obviously not suitable to meet Qin Kongyun and Wang Yunong. Yang Zhi instructed: "Quickly invite the old man to the main hall to serve tea, and I will come later." ”
As soon as Yang Zhigang appeared in the main hall, Wang Yunong took the initiative to bow his hand and said, "Flying Tiger Hou." I heard that there is a new Lin'er in the house, congratulations! Congratulations! ”
Yang Zhi and Wang Yunong are very familiar and have a great friendship. It's not too polite. After the guest and host sat down to serve tea, they asked, "The old man is coming to the cold house." I guess it's for my eldest brother's marriage, right? ”
"That's true." Wang Yunong said bluntly: "The old man came today, firstly, to congratulate you on the joy of Langzhang, and secondly, to inform you of Wenhan's wedding date: June 11th is the auspicious day for marriage. There are only eight days left, and the hard-working Flying Tiger Hou has to step up his preparations. ”
Yang Zhi frowned and said, "So urgent? Ten days have passed since the emperor's decree was given, and the old minister was ordered to protect the media, did the wedding date only be set yesterday? Why not let us know sooner? ”
Wang Yunong smiled bitterly: "If you have a heart, which day is not an auspicious day?" Wenhan's mansion is cold and simple, and it takes time to repair and decorate. And your two wives are about to give birth, and they are afraid that the marriage will collide with your childbirth. I have never confirmed the date of marriage, and I only want to delay until your two wives give birth smoothly. Feihuhou, the old man is not unfamiliar with human feelings, and he was indeed a good intention. ”
"But you are making too much noise to organize the marriage, and the city is full of storms. When the emperor summoned the old man today, he seemed to be quite unhappy, and explicitly urged the early marriage date. The old man wanted to push it again, but even if the emperor was fooled, even if he summoned Qin Tianjian and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, how could you let the old man push it over? ”
The old man's words were very truthful, and Yang Zhi clenched his fists apologetically and said: "It's because I'm too greedy for money and messing around, but I'm so tired that you eat and hang up." Old man, I can't compensate you! ”
Wang Yunong shook his hand again and again and said, "The Flying Tiger Marquis is polite!" What is greed for money? It's nothing more than pulling down his face to earn some benefits, and the other is to follow the story of the former Qin Wangjian, although the emperor will be responsible for a small amount but not a big disaster. Please forgive the old man for talking too much, it doesn't matter how you make trouble in Chang'an. In the future, you must be cautious when you leave Beijing! ”
The former Qin veteran Wang Jian replaced Li Xin and led the army to destroy Chu, and the Qin king Yingzheng paid 600,000 soldiers and horses with the whole country. Wang Jian did not move for a year, only training soldiers. Within a year, he repeatedly wrote to the king of Qin asking for rewards for land and goods, in order to convince the king that he had no intention of supporting his own army and establishing himself as another king.
Yang Zhi rose rapidly under the emperor's intentional support, amassed countless wealth, and pocketed Qin's grain bank, and was also the actual overlord of the sea off Shandong. Being in Chang'an, it is one acre and three points of land controlled by the emperor's iron fist, and no matter how much trouble it makes, it can't set off any big storms. After leaving Beijing, although the old father and wife are no different from hostages, they are suspected of entering the mountains and forests. But for the ambitious heroes in troubled times, the old father and wife are not indispensable. Isn't the famous "piece of the pie" of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, the best example?
How delicate is Yang Zhi's mind? Wang Yunong didn't just come to inform Xu Wenhan of the wedding date, but with good intentions.
Selfless loyalty to the country deserves to be respected no matter what. Yang Zhi got up solemnly, bowed to Wang Yunong and said, "The old man is too high to think of Yang Zhi!" Thank you for your care and teaching! (To be continued......)
