Chapter 168: Tai'an Prefecture Inn

The inspection lasted until the middle of the month, and the situation was better than Liu Min imagined, the money village in Dengzhou Town took root in various places, and the money village and the shops of the trading company were all together, and the settlement was very convenient. In the large transactions along the canal and in Beizhili, fifty percent of the merchants used the four seas bills of exchange to trade, and they did not need to bring cash to and fro, and word of mouth and credit were established.

In addition to the one item of money, the accounts are all very standardized, meeting the requirements of the general number of the trading company and the requirements of the Financial Secretary. Liu Minyou set a standard for that vague Yijin, Zhou Laifu and Wang Erya fought for a certain degree of flexibility, and Liu Minyou also agreed, in the marginal area at the junction of the two systems, he could only do this step at the moment, and after the inspection, they embarked on their way home.

Liu Minyou and Wang Daixi rushed to Denglai, Wang Erya and Zhou Laifu also came back together, and the party set off from Linqingzhou, and arrived at Jinan Mansion in a few days.

As a result, Yang Yunnong also came with him, the deputy director of the Department of Foreign Affairs has been in charge of Shandong officialdom recently, because of the strong background of Dengzhou Town, Xu Congzhi now has a high opinion of Yang Yunnong, which makes this deputy director very comfortable in Jinan Mansion.

As soon as winter arrived, this big fat man was even more round, and Liu Minyou recalled when he first arrived in Weihai when he saw his size, when Yang Yunnong was still Chen Xin's top boss, and now he has become a subordinate, not a direct subordinate, under the control of Song Wenxian. Fortunately, this Yang Yunnong is very good at looking at shapes, and he never puts on the shelf of his old superiors, and even when he sees Liu Minyou, he is very respectful.

"Lord Liu has really worked hard." Yang Yunnong's face was anxious, and as soon as he entered the yard, he came up to help Liu Minyou pat off the snowflakes on his body, "On this cold day, you see that those rich and noble families don't go out." Lord Liu also went out and walked thousands of miles, to say that this Denglai people, one pointed to Lord Chen, the other is Lord Liu, others said that ten thousand families were born Buddhas, and their subordinates patted their chests and said that Pingdu Prefecture gave the two adults to worship the Buddha at home, and there were no less than ten thousand families. The little ones have it in their homes, and they require those servants and maids to have it in their homes. Drinking water can not forget the well diggers. ”

Before he finished nagging, Liu Minyou sneered behind him, Yang Yunnong looked at it, and slapped his hands happily, "I said how I met a lot of magpies today." It turns out that the God of Wealth Niangniang is also here. ”

Yang Yunnong hurriedly bowed to this Liu Minyou, and then turned to the back to salute Wang Daixi, "Director Wang is hard, and he has to be reviewed everywhere in the ice and snow, I think when I came to Weihai, I was still a little girl, and now I am like this." The aura of heaven and earth has been occupied by Director Wang. It's a coincidence, this year, Lord Song sent a villain to be in charge of the financial review of the Foreign Affairs Department, and then he will ask Director Wang to ......"

Wang Daixi couldn't help but smile and said to Yang Yunnong: "Deputy Director Yang, don't plead, Lord Liu's Supervision Department is also looking at the Financial Department." ”

Yang Yunnong's head was tilted. "Hey, look at what Director Wang said, the lower officials have always fully supported the work of the Financial Secretary, and some other departments have to say some strange things. I'm going to refute them face to face, is the Financial Secretary's review of you personal? Is it for Director Wang himself? Look at Director Wang. Stayed only two into the hut, dressed ......"

As soon as he said this, he noticed that Wang Daixi was wearing a fox fur coat, which was expensive, and immediately changed his words: "Can the clothes be compared with those of their concubines who wear mink?" That Director Wang is for the great benefit of our Dengzhou Town. Xia Guan has offended a lot of people because of this, but Xia Guan still has this temper now, and when he sees that he has to settle things, he can't let Director Wang suffer and be gossiped about......"

"Alright, alright." Liu Minyou interrupted with a smile, "Lord Yang, your mouth can bring dead people to life, and people say that the Department of Foreign Affairs can speak well, but I don't think it can compare to your mouth, Lord Yang." ”

Yang Yunnong waved his hand again and again, "Where does Lord Liu talk, villains talk a lot, but they are all honest words in their hearts, and when they say it, they want to dig out their hearts with others, so there is more nonsense, which is better than Lord Chen and Lord Liu, which is like gold, that is, Lord Song, that is also to say a hundred sentences of the villain, so the lower officials follow a few adults, that is to listen to and learn more, at most it is to speak the words of the adults more straightforwardly, and convey it to the people below." ”

A female voice suddenly said: "Yang Yunnong, you don't have to be foolish here, you are so good at what you say, then you invite us to go to Jinan Mansion for a trip, you pay your own money, and you are not allowed to use the amount of the Foreign Affairs Department." ”

Yang Yunnong shook as soon as he heard this voice, peeked over, and saw Wang Erya coming out of the wing room with her head open, and she was still tying the belt around her waist as she walked.

Yang Yunnong immediately put on a smiling face, "I really saw the yellow calendar when I went out today, all the gods have arrived, Lord Liu can be here, give the villain a hundred dares and dare not use the degree of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the villain must come up with his own silver, please go to see Baotu Spring, and eat some roast meat on the Zhibian......"

Wang Erya snorted, "Yang Yunnong, you are embarrassed, those few springs old lady has seen, you take us to Mount Tai to see, the old lady has come over a few times, not even the shadow of Mount Tai, today you dare to say no invitation, the old lady will calculate the matter of Liaocheng with you, Lord Chen is obviously arranged to Liaocheng for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you pick up the shopkeeper of the Liaocheng branch of the trading company to give gifts, help your foreign affairs department to do things, the old lady will talk to those shareholders at that time, see how you explain." ”

"Please, please, shopkeeper Wang, what you said, is the lower official such a stingy person?" Yang Yunnong's head was sweating, and he looked at Liu Minyou and Wang Daixi's reaction with the corner of his eyes, he did what happened in Liaocheng, so he wanted to take advantage of the trading company, and then swallow the Yijin himself. Fortunately, Wang Erya found out early, and found Yang Yunnong at that time and scolded him, although Yang Yunnong did not return the money, he did not swallow the silver, otherwise this time the two sides would be exposed.

Wang Daixi pursed his lips and smiled, and then said to Yang Yunnong: "Director Yang, you are still sweating in winter, you should go on a diet." ”

Yang Yunnong smiled and touched his handkerchief to wipe his forehead, "The accounts of the lower officials are all checkable, Mount Tai is Mount Tai, so many immortals are coming, and the villain has cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes, how can you not ask these two words." ”

Wang Daixi saw that Yang Yunnong agreed, and hurriedly turned his head and happily grabbed Liu Minyou's sleeve and said, "Brother Liu, can you delay for a few days, let's go to see Mount Tai together?" ”

Liu Minyou frowned and calculated, he planned to rush back before the New Year, and it was best to approve the accumulated things a few days in advance. He originally handed it over to Chen Xin for approval, and he didn't know if Chen Xin was lazy. Moreover, Chen Xin's management has always been simplistic, and he is afraid that the approval will not be clear enough or there will be omissions.

Wang Daixi saw that Liu Min was hesitant, pulled his sleeves and shook them twice: "Brother Liu, I haven't been out for a long time, and those old people who are incense in Denglai go to Mount Tai once a year." ”

Liu Minyou looked down at Wang Daixi, shook his head and smiled: "Then go, let's go faster." ”

Yang Yunnong and Wang Erya stared at the two of them for a moment. They looked at each other again, then turned their heads away as if nothing had happened......

"Are the guests staying at the hotel? Come to our house, listen to the opera and sing the songs......"

"When guests come to my house, my family has food and accommodation, and there are people in the stable to feed the horses......"

Outside the city of Tai'an. Liu Min has a group of people leading the horses to move forward in the sound of soliciting on both sides, they are well-dressed, and there are entourages leading the horses, looking at it is not an ordinary family, so the solicitors are very active, following a group of people on both sides of the continuous lobbying, stupid monks and a few guards to protect Liu Minyou. Don't let those people come close.

Liu Min has a feeling and a feeling of being in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are a cluster of hotels, shop signs are like a forest, and there are many incense shops. Even in the wax moon, there are still crowds. He didn't expect that Tai'an Prefecture in Shandong was so prosperous, and it was even more lively than Jinan at this time.

Yang Yunnong traveled east and west in Shandong, and he was very familiar with all places. Along the way, he explained to Liu Min, "My lord." This Mount Tai is known as the head of the five mountains, there are many temples on the mountain, there are countless pilgrims who come here every year to incense, the farthest can go to Shaanxi, Huguang and other places, the most is of course Shandong, North Zhili, Henan, South Zhili, there are not many between the wax moon. March 28 every year is the birthday of Mount Tai mountain god Bixia Yuanjun, the men and women who enter the incense are not less than a huge million, the silver money and incense are piled up like a mountain, and only then do you see the liveliness of Mount Tai. ”

Liu Minyou sighed: "I see. ”

Zhou Laifu said beside him: "My subordinates have also heard that Naputuo Luojia Mountain is also like Mount Tai, which is rumored to be the cave of Guanyin, and there are countless people who cross the sea at the beginning of spring, and worship all over the mountain step by step." ”

Liu Minyou said with a smile: "It turns out that these places are all scenic spots, I have heard people there in Yangzhou say that Yangzhou is Qingming, and it is also crowded and lively in March, but unfortunately I can't see it." ”

When Yang Yunnong saw it, he was afraid that these two women would ask him to invite him to Yangzhou to play, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Lord Liu, let's live in the largest house in front of us today, and it will be more convenient to climb the mountain tomorrow." ”

Wang Daixi looked around and said suspiciously: "Aren't these homes here quite big, and the largest inn in Dengzhou Mansion is nothing more than that." ”

"That one is even bigger, and the lower officials go south and north, and this one has the most appetite."

Wang Daixi naturally didn't understand, so the group followed Yang Yunnong to continue to move forward, and those soliciting customers saw that these people were unmoved, and finally gave up their efforts and slowly disappeared.

After walking for a while, the roadside suddenly became a lot more tidy, both sides of the road are full of horses and donkey troughs, there are special people feeding the horses, Liu Min has a rough look and thought it was a carriage and horse shop, and did not care, but all the way over, more than 20 in a row are all horse sheds and donkey sheds, Liu Min asked curiously: "Deputy Director Yang, there are many mules and horses here, are they rented to people to climb the mountain?" ”

"Back to my lordship, this is the inn, and these sheds are used for guests to watch horses and donkeys."

"So much? It's all an inn?! ”

"So Xia Guan said that this is the largest, you see, my lord, the more than 20 rooms below are all drama apartments, and you can also listen to dramas inside, and they are all the same family."

Liu Minyou looked at the street in surprise, there were many shops on both sides of this long road, all of which belonged to an inn, which he had never seen before in Daming.

There was also the sound of babbling singing and drinking in the theater apartment next to it, which seemed to be very lively, and some helpers with charcoal basins of dishes shuttled among them.

Walking forward, the opera apartment has become an elegant curved room and a small door, and some bewitching women are flattering at Liu Minyou and his party at the door, and they do not shy away from seeing Wang Daixi and other women walking together.

The stupid monk was stunned again, Wang Daixi rolled his eyes at those women, and Wang Erya turned a blind eye. Yang Yunnong smiled and discussed with Zhou Laifu in a low voice.

After walking for more than a mile, I finally arrived at the door, the reception hall was very spacious, and the neatly dressed maids came and went, bowing down to give way when they saw the guests.

Yang Yunnong skillfully came to the counter and said loudly inside: "The number of the live store." ”

A shopkeeper stood up and said respectfully: "My lord is fine, the store is three dollars and eight cents of silver, and the mountain silver is one dollar and eight cents, and the premium and medium rooms need to be increased." The guests are all meat, the guests are vegetarian, and the guests who return from the mountain have a congratulatory feast, and the congratulatory banquet is eaten, and the incense is to seek the official to get the official, to ask for the son to get the son, and to get the wealth. ”

Yang Yunnong interrupted: "Needless to say, you have to go to the guest room." ”

The shopkeeper immediately had them assigned a room to a book, and a group of servants stood beside them, waiting to lead them to their rooms.

The shopkeeper took advantage of the waiting time and said to a few people: "How many guest officers do you have horses?" ”

Yang Yunnong replied: "Naturally, there is." ”

"Jiang Er, you and a few nobles of the adults go to lead the horses into the stable, feed some essence, don't miss the adults."

Immediately a servant went out and took the attendants to tie their horses.

The shopkeeper said to a few people: "If a few adults go up the mountain tomorrow, there will be a sister in the shop after going down the mountain, in addition to He Xi singing alone, there is also an outside opera to entertain, what is the need, just talk to the servant, and send it to the adult's room......"

Liu Minyou looked at the luxurious hall and muttered, "Five-star." ”
