After sitting in the bank for a while in the afternoon and drinking a cup of tea, Fu Cheng Lao Li reported the bank's accounts, which were generally normal, and the big merchants who signed the contract were not affected by Yang Cai, and all the money was received.

Yumo took three days off, and she didn't see her today, and the people who were guarding her door came back to report that Yumo was indeed not at home, and she didn't know what the hell this little girl was doing.

Li also came over, roughly to discuss the details of the bank's counterattack, this kid is very efficient, he has taken down several large merchants of loan sharks, Xu Chen is still very careful about this matter, after all, Yang Cai's sudden silence is obviously a little strange, and he has to formulate a careful plan, once the loan shark is collapsed, the bank will be able to establish a leading position in the capital.

Opening branches, all kinds of investments, and even the issuance of banknotes must wait until the usury is brought down before they can make a big move, Xu Chen does not have much experience in doing business, but this line often needs talented people, and at present, it can be controlled.

chatted with Li Ye for a while, and talked about Shen Sisi, the first prostitute in the capital, this woman can be regarded as a favor for herself, and she must have a good impression, besides, such a beautiful woman has always given herself face, and the man's sense of superiority arises spontaneously.

The reason why Li also talked about Shen Sisi was because on August 15, Yixiang Yuan held a large poetry meeting, which was unexpected by Xu Chen, it was normal for literati and ink writers to visit the Qinglou in the Tang Dynasty, but I had never heard of any poetry meeting held in the Qinglou, if this was the case, it must be some romantic talents.

Li also said that this is the reason why Yixiangyuan is different from other Qinglou, and the formation of this industrial chain is also because of the relationship between famous prostitutes and Shen Sisi. This woman can be called a talented and beautiful person, and she is famous, so Yixiangyuan has become a gathering place for talents, and over time, the poetry meeting will be formed.

In the Tang Dynasty, whether it was poets, politicians, emperors, or even ordinary people, the degree of love for poetry was far beyond imagination, and it was also easy to form a phenomenon that Qinglou held a poetry meeting.

Of course, it's all for fame, as mentioned earlier, the Tang Dynasty inherited the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty in the early days of its establishment, but there was obviously a phenomenon during the reign of Li Longji, and the champion could be determined.

But this also needs to be talented and learned people to be recommended, a few years ago there was a set champion, the result was too obvious, is the son of a high-ranking official, and then was reported, the person who reported is still An Lushan, Li Longji was immediately furious after hearing it, after the interview, he found that this grandson didn't know anything, and taught the white roll, which was officially called "drag white", which is the historical origin of the white roll.

For the Tang Dynasty, such a thing has developed into a phenomenon, and it has become a shortcut for many literati to rise to the top.

For Li Ye, Shen Sisi has obviously seen Xu Chen's brother-in-law's talents, and he must have been invited to the poetry meeting on the day, and Li also wanted to hug his thighs, stain his brother-in-law's light, and go to Yixiang Courtyard for a walk, by the way, he also reminded Xu Chen to prepare for it.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital, there are many talents, although Xu Chen's reputation is rumored to be miraculous, there must be those who are not convinced, in the hearts of those literati who think they are full of talent, if they want to make a name for themselves and attract the attention of the princes and nobles, the easiest way is to defeat Xu Yuma.

The purpose of Li Ye's saying this Xu Chen naturally knew that it would only take two months for him to cross over, but his reputation as a talented man was loud, and if he was too popular, he would naturally be the best prepared to become the target of public criticism.

Of course, this is an afterword, there is still half a month before August 15, and I don't have the heart to think about it more, there are still many things to do at the moment, and the most important thing is to find out why the old thief Tian Rong pushed himself to the forefront and attracted Yang Guozhong's attention.

If Emperor Li San promoted Yang Guozhong in order to contain the power of the Longyou nobles, and favored An Lushan in order to inject a little fresh blood into the court, then what is the purpose of cooperating with Tian Juma to classify himself as the prince's faction?

This is all Xu Chen wants to figure out, at present, he is just a little horse, he has such a big position as a squire in the military department, even if he is covered by Tian Cheng, it is obviously not easy to mix, he has no qualifications, two has no background, three has no military merits, and some are just the protection of the emperor, this is like choosing a class president in a university, you are related to the counselor, and you have no leadership ability, everyone will definitely not accept you.

Of course, this metaphor is too bad, the power of the emperor is still there, don't look at Li San's mediocrity in his twilight years, but you must know that he has reigned for decades and single-handedly created a world-famous prosperous era, his words are still quite weighty, don't look at Yang Guozhong's ability to chirp, say to do him, a word thing, and the reality is that the old emperor has been mediocre.

Even if he has the protection of the emperor, this official will definitely not be easy to do, so Xu Chen wants to know what kind of medicine the poems sold in Tian Rong's gourd, this is the key.

Even if the situation cannot be changed, knowing the other party's intentions is still good for Xu Chen, and as for how to be coquettish at Li San's birthday banquet, this is also the key.

If Tian Rong wants to take advantage of his unanimous optimism to control himself in order to use himself, then what Xu Chen can do is: use this opportunity to exert the greatest effect, strive for greater power, and make it impossible for those who want to use him to control it.

That's why I chose to flatter at the birthday banquet.

Flattery naturally wants to send something different and shocking the government and the opposition, the reason why Xu Chen agreed to Li Shuang'er must be very sure: after thousands of experiments, the prototype of glass has been made!

Glass is obviously a rare object for this era, and the form of glass can make thousands of patterns, Xu Chen asked Li Ye to find the best craftsman in the capital, and prepare to create a birthday gift that shocked the government and the opposition in these few days.

If someone criticizes Xu Chen for using this kind of obscene trickery to win the position, then well, you won.

It must be difficult to make this thing in a few days, Xu Chen has been squatting in the small black room to make inventions, as I said earlier, in ancient times without equipment and instruments, his modern scientific theories are actually a little difficult to implement, Xu Chen is also on the basis of a large number of experiments, through unremitting efforts, strong perseverance, execution, to succeed.

was doing research, but Zi'er ran in and said that the princess asked him to prepare and go to the eldest princess's house for a dinner party in the evening......

(If you don't give up, I will break out on the first day of October)
