"Father-in-law, this is an immature idea of the little son-in-law. I saw the embarrassing situation of Baizhi County in Zhaotong, Yunnan, and learned that there were many people who came to Beijing from other places to run official positions, and they all had to stay in guest houses, which cost a lot of money, and it was not convenient to do things. If the son-in-law buys a house and transforms it into a guild hall, it will be used as a place for my Guangdong civil and military to be stationed in Beijing. This time, even if the problem of spending for colleagues in Beijing is solved, everyone can get together, exchange feelings, exchange news, and even share contacts. Of course, there will be some money consumption, but in terms of income, the return is still very high. ”

Zhang Juzheng twisted his hair and smiled: "That's right. Your idea is something that the old man didn't expect. Let's make more friends with some officialdom figures, and once this hall opens, we can not only make friends, but also have a good reputation and do well. ”

After he was reborn this time, he took the route of contacting more allies and expanding his strength as much as possible. He befriended Feng Bao, the prime minister, and was kind to Xungui, all of which were expanding his strength. Li Yanqing's idea is in line with his concept, and it is naturally supported by this old man.

"Yan Qing, have you ever thought of a name for this hall?"

"The son-in-law has thought about it, the public name of this hall is called the Guangdong Office in Beijing."

In the future, the Xiangshan system formed a terrible turbidity current in the officialdom, sweeping the officialdom, and the gods hated it. In the court, they used all means to attack and frame, splash dirty water and fight bad battles, leaving all kinds of benevolent gentlemen speechless. In Zuoshunmen, three more ambushes were organized, creating the famous incident of beating Gu Xiancheng.

relied on hand-to-hand combat to send more than a dozen officials who opposed his boss to the hospital, and also let go of the houses of several people. did what Jinyiwei wanted to do but couldn't. Its organization is perfect and its ability to act is strong. Far above the average of this era.

The reasons for this are all because of the storage of Guangdong in Beijing. These Cantonese people were united to form a unified combat force. So much so that even if you are not from Xiangshan, but only from Guangdong, you have to call yourself Xiangshan. After all, only by becoming a Xiangshan person can you enjoy the highest standard treatment of the guild.

Zhang Juzheng's thinking is clearer than Li Yanqing's, and he made a decision at the moment, in addition to providing the guild hall, he must also build up the supporting facilities. The guild hall should provide first-class good wine and first-class tea, and it is necessary to find first-class chefs in Beijing. The most obedient servants, including the girls of the Church Division. In short, as long as you get the qualification to stay in the Guangdong Embassy in Beijing, you can enjoy the best service inside. And this kind of service, even if you spend money, you may not be able to enjoy it.

In addition to this, the preferential conditions for the half of the garrison in Beijing also provided another convenience for Guangdong's civil and military forces. They can invite people to the guild hall, which is more private than outside. It's more convenient to do things. So much so that later, the clerks of the ministry were willing to enjoy the hospitality of the guild hall rather than accept services outside.

Li Yanqing even set up a sum of public money. As an emergency fund for Guangdong civil and military dredging joints. Any Guangdong civil and military officer who comes to Beijing to run a hat can borrow money from public funds if he does not have enough money on hand. Wait until the future to repay. In addition to cash, the repayment method can also be repaid through various means such as land, manpower, and even preferential policies.

Officials take office. You also have to have a relationship with your boss and take care of your boss. Banquet colleagues, open joints everywhere, and avoid becoming an outlier in officialdom. When Li Yanqing took office, it was because Xiangshan was a fire pit and no one wanted to go there, so he saved this expense. Few others can enjoy this kind of treatment, and most people will choose to borrow a sum of money from Jin or Hui merchants when they take office, and then repay it after taking office.

The establishment of the Guangdong Guild Hall can be regarded as robbing the business of these two merchant gangs. Not only was the interest rate lower than that of external loans, but after officials took office, they could choose not to repay the interest and instead provide convenience for the Guangdong officialdom and the East India Company.

On the one hand, the Guangdong Embassy in Beijing also served the officials of Guangdong nationality and on the other hand, the officials of Cantonese nationality, and after these people were promoted, they took up posts in various parts of the country, and the network of the East India Company also took the opportunity to spread to various places, forming a loose but solid network of human relations.

Daming is a humane society, relying on this strong network of favors, in the long years to come, the two Guangxi merchants rely on the Guangdong in Beijing and a half (later upgraded to two and a half in Beijing), and get countless conveniences.

In another time and space, the merchant group of the Ming Dynasty has the theory of drilling the heavens and caves everywhere. In this time and space, Cantonese merchants were born, seized a large share of the merchant group, and became a powerful force in the Daming shopping mall that no one can underestimate.

Zhang Juzheng said: "I heard that the Heavenly Maiden Gate will also refine A Furong? At first, the slut refused to tell me, causing me to take a baby. It doesn't matter if anything else, you must ask me about this recipe. I will not dedicate this secret book to the heavenly family, but other good things should be enjoyed by the heavenly family, so as to fulfill the duty of a courtier. ”

When Li Yanqing heard this, two words "Hong Pill" quickly appeared in his mind. However, he believed that Zhang Juzheng would never personally offer this elixir. Even the members of the Zhang faction will not offer the elixir, maybe the one who offers the elixir is still a high-bearded person, but the life span of the Son of Longqing Tianzi is afraid that it has entered the countdown. Daming will soon have another son of heaven.

"Yan Qing, after this official business is over, it is time to talk about private matters. It's time for you and Ruolan to get married. Let's discuss what the charter is for this matter. ”

On the other side of Zhang's house, a conversation between the two women was also underway. Hua Xixiang, the witch of Wushan, is known for her resourcefulness and unfazed changes on weekdays, but now she has lost her usual calmness and calmness. A pretty face turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, Zhang Ruolan sat opposite her, but with a confident smile on her face.

"Flower Woman, what I just said, did anyone maliciously slander or spray people with blood? If you have one, you can sue me and I will deal with those who give me information. ”

"Nope." Hua Xixiang's face became paler and her voice became lower and lower. "Those things, it's all true. It was my own misconduct back then, not the nonsense of others. I know what kind of slut I am, and I don't dare to expect to enter the door of the Li family and serve with Miss Zhang. ”

"Yes, you are willing to lay out the night with my man outside and be a wild mandarin duck. We have to abide by the rules of the inner house, you can be free, in this world, is there such a cheap thing. Zhang Ruolan's demeanor became more and more calm, but Hua Xixiang had already lowered her head, as if she was trying to find a seam.

"Your charm can make a man soft-boned, and a man who can be fascinated has given you all his heart. I'm really afraid that there is such a person as you in the inner house. But when you are outside, I am even more uneasy. So I had to suffer a loss, you, be my sister. Zhang Ruolan suddenly grabbed Hua Xixiang's hand, "You and your junior sister have to help me, I'm in the inner house, I'm too lonely." As for these things, I promise, they will never see the light of day. The people on this list will soon disappear, forever. (To be continued!)
