With "I was originally a guest in Baiyuntang, I rode a green ox into Chang'an." With these two sentences, Li Ang won the favor of Han Ruosu, a famous prostitute in Chang'an.

However, when Han Ruosu invited him upstairs to meet, Li Ang laughed and said that he was too lazy to go upstairs, and many literati and artists dreamed of the opportunity, but Li Ang laughed at it.

Some people laugh at Li Ang for being stupid, and some people say that he is a real celebrity and free and easy.

No matter what others thought of him, the matter was talked about, and the name of Li Ang quickly spread in Chang'an City, and the next day, people began to visit him in the mansion.

It's a pity that Gongsun Jingyu, including Gongsun Jingyu, who rushed to hear the wind, all pounced.

Chongrenfang is the first choice of the Jinju Yuan (Beijing Office) of the state capitals, local officials enter Beijing to do business, and the prefectures raise their sons to enter Beijing to catch the examination, and most choose to live in Chongrenfang.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Tiezui also opened the HSBC cash cabinet, which focuses on non-local exchange, in Chongrenfang, in order to get the moon first near the water.

Each square of Chang'an usually opens a door in the southeast and northwest, the large square accumulates nearly one square kilometer, and the four square doors have a street to pass through, and the square is divided into four blocks equally, and each piece is divided into four small pieces of cross streets. Chongrenfang is no exception.

Li Ang got up early in the morning and came to the HSBC cash cabinet located at the intersection of Chongrenfang Cross Street, Li Zuitai welcomed him in with a happy face, and Cheng Guan and others, who were responsible for protecting the money shop, also came to visit, smiling one by one.

Facts have proved that Li Ang did not misunderstand the person, Li Tiezui not only did not abscond with the money, but also did a good job.

Without Li Ang asking, Li Tiezui took the initiative to bring the account book and report to him: "Lang Jun." Since its opening, a total of 6,800 remittances have been received. Half of them were remittances from Jiannan from Beijing officials to their families, and some were remittances from Beijing merchants who were preparing to go to Sichuan to do business. ”

Li Ang nodded and said, "Iron mouth." Well done, you can send a letter back to Chengdu, so that Chengdu can also receive remittances. ”

Li Tiezui said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lang Jun, the humble has already sent a message back to Chengdu." During this time, he visited the merchants in the east and west cities of Chang'an, and believed that there will be more and more remittances in the future, and the deposits in the treasury will soon exceed 10,000 yuan. Is it possible to carry out this lending business? ”

The main business of HSBC's cash cabinet, in addition to remote exchange, is traditional lending.

The handling fee set by the HSBC cash cabinet is one out of ten, one hundred taels of money weighs seven or eight hundred catties, and it is necessary to transport it from Chang'an to Chengdu, aside from safety issues, you have to transport seven hundred and eight catties of things to go so far, and it will cost more than ten catties.

At present, HSBC cash drawers only take a handling fee of 10 cents, for most customers. I still think it's very cost-effective.

If you need to allocate copper coins in other places, charging a 10% handling fee is not profitable, and may even lose money.

But Leon's solution is that he doesn't need to allocate copper coins in other places. Therefore, a 10 percent commission can be called a windfall profit, but in fact, the profit of a loan shark is even higher. It was Li Tiezui who couldn't wait.

Li Ang thought for a while and said, "You can lend some money appropriately, but the risk of lending is relatively large." We don't have a strong backer in Beijing yet, so we must choose the target of lending carefully. In case you won't even be able to recover the principal by then. ”

"I wrote it down, what else does Lang Jun command?"

"You have done a good job, there is nothing to tell you for the time being, wait for me to find a good candidate, and then go to Yangzhou to open a semicolon."

"Thank you Lang Jun for your compliment, and I wish Lang Jun the best of luck in the spring of next year!"

"Good! Hahaha......."

Li Ang did not stay in the cash cabinet for long, he now intends to take the road of the imperial examination to seek a half-official position, and Datang does not allow officials to do business, so from the beginning, Li Ang did not disclose his relationship with the HSBC cash cabinet.

After entering Beijing, he would rather live in the mansion than live in the cash cabinet, which is also the reason.

Subsequently, Li Ang returned to the mansion, took Wu Xuan out of Chongrenfang, went west along the main road of Chunyang Street at the Imperial City Gate, turned south to Zhuque Street, walked two squares and turned westward, crossed the colonization workshop, and came to Tongyi Fang.

Li Ang already has a more detailed understanding of Yang Nan's family situation;

The Yang family is not an ordinary background, her father Yang Xuan was the general of Zuo Qianniuwei before he was demoted, Yang Xun has a cousin named Yang Hui, Yang Xun married Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui, Yang Xun's father is called Yang Shenjiao, married Princess Changning, the daughter of Zhongzong.

Yang Shenjiao's fifth ancestor was Yang Xiong, the king of the Sui Dynasty, who was born in the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. His son Yang Gongren was appointed as the squire of the Yellow Gate and the Duke of Guanguo before the Sui Dynasty descended to the Tang Dynasty. In Yang Hui's generation, there is still a hereditary Duke of Guanguo.

It's just that Yang Nan's father, Yang Xun, was born in the side branch of Guanguo Gong, and he didn't agree with his cousin Yang Xun, and the two families rarely had contacts, which is not a secret in Beijing.

After Li Ang inquired about the direction at the Fang Gate, he came to the front of the Yang Mansion.

The majestic stone lion, the tall Zhumen, highlighting the former nobility of the Yang Mansion, there are four guards standing on the steps, after Li Ang dismounted, handed over the reins to Wu Xuan, walked up the steps and arched his hand to those few family members: "In the lower Li Ang, it is the township tribute of Yizhou Mansion, entrusted by the Yuan Danqiu Yuan Immortal Chief, there are a few words to convey to your little lady in person, a few big brothers, can you help pass it on." ”

Several family members looked at Li Ang with strange eyes, if they hadn't heard that he was entrusted by Yuan Danqiu, I am afraid that they would have beaten him as a disciple.

The family first led Li Ang to the porter, and then went into the house to report, but it was not Yang Nan who came out first, but her mother, a thirty-six or seventeen-year-old noblewoman, with an old man who looked like a housekeeper behind her, and a few maids.

She has a flying hoofed bun on her head, a golden step, a purple mink fur, a dignified posture, graceful and luxurious, and her appearance can vaguely find a little bit of Yang Nan's shadow.

"Junior, Li Ang, meet Mrs. Yang!" Li Ang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Yang looked at Li Ang curiously, and then said, "Li Langjun is from Yizhou?" ”

"Yes, Madame Yang."

"My daughter came to Beijing with you, right?"

"This ......."

Now Li Ang is not easy to answer, if he admits that Yang Nan entered Beijing with him, not to mention anything else, just now he said that he was entrusted by Yuan Danqiu to pass on the word, this panic will not be fulfilled immediately, just imagine, the two entered Beijing together, what are you saying?

If you deny entering Beijing with Yang Nan, it's not appropriate, in case Yang Nan himself has already "recruited", and he still talks nonsense with his eyes open, isn't it boring for himself?

"Your name is Leon? Is it the solution of Yizhou Mansion this year? "Fortunately, Mrs. Yang didn't dwell on the question just now, of course, Li Ang was hesitant, which means that he has already told others the answer.

As if he was meeting his mother-in-law for the first time, Li Ang hurriedly saluted again: "Back to Mrs. Yang, exactly." ”

Mrs. Yang couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry on her face, and then asked, "How did you and the little girl meet?" ”

"That's a long story, ma'am."

"Let's make a long story short."

"Auntie!" At this moment, Yang Nan's voice came from behind, and Li Ang looked back, but saw Yang Nan wearing men's clothes and riding a horse back from outside.
