In the next few days, Liu Zeke didn't rest for a day, he went to the banquet in this mansion today, drank in the restaurant in Ming'er, and there was a lot of entertainment, and he couldn't push it off if he wanted to, which made Liu Ze very upset, and he really wanted to go, but when people invited him, Liu Ze had to go to the banquet hard, and he couldn't help himself in the officialdom.

The mansion that was cleaned up was quite spacious, slightly larger than the one Jia Xu lived in, and the furniture was all available, Liu Ze and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei moved in, Pan Feng and a group of people from the Jinying Wei General Administration also settled in the mansion, and Guan Hai was still stationed in the northern army camp with the archers.

Liu Ze was busy going to banquets every day, sometimes taking Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and sometimes going alone, making him physically and mentally exhausted. That day, he saw Pan Feng coming in and out, and he was a little puzzled mysteriously, but he didn't have time to deal with it, today it was Huang Wan's turn to have a banquet, and he sent someone to wait for Liu Ze's car outside the gate of the mansion early in the morning, so he had to go to the banquet first.

There was news from the palace that Emperor Han Ling was very sick and showed no signs of improvement, which made Liu Ze look a little worried, should Emperor Han Ling hang up this year? Although Liu Ze is not much interested in the life and death of this emperor with the same ancestor and ancestry, if he really hangs up like this, but it is very bad, if the troubled times come in advance, Liu Ze must be a little caught off guard, many things have not had time to do, many plans have not been implemented, Liu Ze secretly prayed, the emperor's eldest brother (Liu Bei is the imperial uncle of Emperor Han Xian, and it is not wrong to call Liu Hong a big brother), you have to hold on! The younger brother came through thousands of years, but he didn't want to curse you to die early, you should stand strong for a few more years.

The New Year is approaching, and the Taiping Year after the chaos is even more precious. The entire capital is full of lights and joy, and they are all immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, and it seems that the seriously ill Emperor Han Ling has made people forget.

finally ended this round of marathon-like banquet, Liu Ze drank light millet porridge and listened to Jia Xu's report on the development of Qianzhuang's lending business.

Sure enough, as Jia Xu expected, after Huitong Tianxia Bank opened its lending business, the flow of customers flocked to it, although the money bank has very high requirements for the qualifications of each businessman who asks for a loan. It's not just about mortgaged property deeds. Moreover, it is necessary to put forward a reasonable reason for the loan and the purpose of the loan, and if you can't get the loan at all, you can't get the loan, but this is still difficult to stop the enthusiasm of the businessmen to borrow. Compared with pawnshops and donkey rolling, the interest of Huitong World is almost negligible. Calculated based on a loan tenor of 30 days. Borrowing a million dollars only requires paying 10,000 dollars in interest. And the merchant can take this money to make a turnover. The profit will be multiplied. This is only a short-term loan, and it is cheaper if it is a medium- to long-term loan.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all industries were depressed. What the major businesses lack is not the market but capital, the commercial status of the Han Dynasty is low, the merchants and shops rely on only a small business, little profit, sometimes there is a market and opportunities, but the bottleneck of funds often kills some business geniuses. Huitong Tianxia spent billions of dollars to enter the Luoyang loan market, undoubtedly injected a shot of strength into the Luoyang market in the depression, and the major merchants who got the loan quickly became active, taking advantage of the east wind of the New Year to put a dazzling array of goods on the counter, and the deserted market became active and thriving.

Among them, Huitong is undoubtedly the biggest winner, the annual income brought by the investment of billions of funds is estimated to reach hundreds of millions of dollars, this is just a beginning, such a way to make money even in the West Garden to sell the official mantle Emperor Han Ling is dwarfed, after all, Emperor Han Ling's selling of officials has been resisted by the vast majority of Qingliu celebrities, more than 2,000 stone official sales are not very smooth, a year has not sold much, but about 300 stone to 1,000 stone of local official positions sold a lot, it seems that the local powerful forces are still very rich.

At this time, Zhou Cang and a few dart masters broke in, Zhou Cang was obviously hung up, there was a long scar on the left side of his face, blood was still dripping, his clothes were torn, there were several scars, and several other dart masters were not better, they were all scarred.

Liu Ze was stunned and said, "Zhou Cang, why are you so wolfy?" ”

Zhou Cang knelt down on one knee and said, "Please be the master of Zhou Cang." ”

Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he was bullied outside, it stands to reason that Zhou Cang's fist and foot kung fu is also good, and he can hurt him like this, it seems that the other party is also a master, but think about this land of Gyeonggi, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, don't say that it is higher than Zhou Cang's martial arts, even if it is higher than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts, it is not nothing. Liu Ze said: "Get up and speak." ”

Zhou Cang stood up and explained Fang Cai's situation to the next detail. In the past two years, the world was in turmoil, and the Yangwei Dart Bureau had no darts to bet, according to Liu Ze's instructions, Zhou Cang and other people from the Yangwei Dart Bureau went to Huitong to do things, responsible for the security of the treasury and the escort of gold and other affairs. In order to ensure the safety of the money, sometimes they will send money to the door according to the needs of customers.

Nanshi Sun shopkeeper runs a tea shop, the two years of turbulence, the supply is not smooth, the business of the tea shop has plummeted, Sun shopkeeper is also in debt, struggling, coinciding with Huitong world money village loans, Sun shopkeeper was fortunate to become the first batch of lenders, Zhou Cang they are a few people to personally send money to the door. Shopkeeper Sun had owed some money to the loan shark before, and this time he borrowed back from Huitong Tianxia, so he thought about first repaying part of the money from the loan shark, and then taking the other part of the money to buy some goods and build a tea shop stall.

When Zhou Cang and the others came, it was unfortunate that those loan sharks happened to come to ask for accounts. Originally, it was natural to repay the debt, and it was nothing to do if the shopkeeper Sun repaid the usury, but these moneylenders didn't know that they were the house slaves of that family, they were arrogant and habitual, and they deliberately looked for trouble, and the leader of the Zhoucang bandits had been doing it for a long time, and he put these house slaves in his eyes, and he fought if he didn't agree with a few words. Those house slaves were Zhou Cang's opponents, and they were all beaten to the ground in three or two strokes. didn't wait for Zhou Cang to go out, and another powerful character came, with extremely high martial arts, and injured Zhou Cang and several of them, and threatened to smash Yangwei Dart Bureau and Huitong World.

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, slapped the table, rose up, and said: "Damn, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, he is tired and crooked!" Zhou Cang! Let's go, lead the way in front, your third grandfather will know where he is sacred? ”

As he spoke, he pulled up Zhou Cang, didn't even say hello to Liu Ze, and hurried to the tea shop in a hurry.

Everyone was shocked, this third master Zhang has been gone for two years, but his temper has not changed at all, and he is still so hot. Liu Ze was used to it, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Guan Yu, Jia Xu, Pan Feng and other people surrounded Liu Ze and went out, leaving Jian Yong alone to wait in the Qian Village.

When he arrived at the Sun Ji Tea Shop, Zhang Fei jumped off the horse, and rushed in with an arrow step, in addition to an old man and a fellow man, there were still three or four people in the shop, the head of the body was burly, his eyes were scorching, and he looked like a practitioner, and there was a looming scar from the left eyelid to the corner of his mouth, which made the whole face look hideous and terrifying. Zhang Fei's eyes fell on the face of the scarred man, looked him up and down, and snorted: "Boy, is that the one you dare to hurt me?" ”

The man with the scar also felt the strong murderous intent on Zhang Fei's body, and the person who came was not good! But he also relied on it, and said proudly: "Yes, so what? ”

Zhang Fei's eyes showed a fierce light, and he shouted: "You are dead!" After a loud drink, a fist the size of a vinegar bowl had already struck over, as fast as the wind. Not to be outdone, the man with the scar let out a low shout and swung his fist to meet him.

With a "peng" sound, the two fists collided together, and the sound shook like a cow. Zhang Fei took half a step back, and the scarred man took three or four steps back, his face like pale gold. can catch Zhang Fei's powerful punch, there are few people in the world, Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Good boy, I have some ability, eat a few punches from your grandfather Zhang!" ”

The old man next to him, the shopkeeper Sun's face turned pale, these two really want to fight, this tea shop has to be demolished, and even begged for mercy: "Two heroes, show mercy to your subordinates, Xiao Ke's entire net worth is in this small shop, please don't do it." ”

Zhang Fei looked at this tea shop, it was not very wide, if he really started to move, he would have to harm the pond fish, but he was aggressive by nature, and today he met an opponent who was a chess opponent, so he shouted at the moment: "This place is small and can't be opened, boy, if you have the courage to go outside, we will meet!" ”

The man with the scar was also not to be outdone, and said: "Just go, are you still afraid that you won't succeed?" ”

The two proudly walked out of Sun Kee Tea Shop and came to the street. Zhou Cang and a few dart masters also hurriedly followed, and the people under the scar man also stood behind the scar man to cheer.

As soon as he stood still, Zhang Fei didn't talk nonsense, he shouted violently, his fist was like a blast of wind, and he smashed it directly into the face of the man with the scar. The man with the scar looked fearless, waved his fist to meet each other, and the two were fighting in one place. The fist path of these two people is a fierce road, the lower plate is solid, the steps are calm, the fists are vigorous, and every punch seems to have a thousand powers. Such a power-type duel, although it is a little less dexterous, but it is a little heavier, and it is very enjoyable to see the onlookers around.

After fighting for more than a dozen rounds in a row, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Good boy, you have good skills, no wonder Zhou Cang will be defeated in your hands." ”

The scarred man had a solemn face, obviously Zhang Fei's skills had caused him a lot of trouble, and he said: "Now if you admit defeat, you may leave you a way to live!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted in his mouth, and the fist in his hand did not stop.

"Throw in the towel? Joke! With your three-legged cat's kung fu, I still want your grandfather Zhang to admit defeat and want to be beautiful! If you kneel down and kowtow eighteen times now, you can consider sparing your dog's life! (To be continued......)
