Chapter 671: This Lichun Courtyard official hasn't come yet
Another few days passed.
On the day of the sale, Kaifeng Lou did not open on time.
Because Mu Tianyan's prefect suspended the banquet again.
According to well-informed sources, His Majesty has the will to reward Lin Ruhai's father and son, and they are on the way here, some people say that Prince Zhongshun personally led the team, and some people say that His Majesty's henchman and eunuch Dai Quan came day and night.
After the news spread, the entire Yangzhou City fell silent again.
And this banquet must also be postponed.
Because, many families, gentry, and magnates in Jinling and Suzhou have sent people to participate in this grand event.
So after spending ten days in restlessness, that is, twenty days after Lin Zhaodang's street violence, the much-anticipated banquet was held in the famous Yufang Lichun Courtyard on the shore of Slender West Lake.
Because Kaifeng Tower can't fit so many people.
This Lichun Courtyard is located on the bank of the Slender West Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, and the girls in it are also one in a hundred beauties, each of whom talks decently, and many dignitaries have come to experience.
But today, all the girls in Lichun Temple were kicked out.
Because today's banquet involves the exchange of millions of silver, everyone must keep a cool head.
Who dares to hug left and right in front of countless powerful and powerful, wait to go back and kneel in the ancestral hall.
On this day, as soon as the sky was bright, I saw many carriages rushing towards Lichun Courtyard.
Although some time ago, the reputation of the Yamen of the Imperial History of Salt Inspection was notorious, but when the news of the purchase of those shops and fields came, the overwhelming insults disappeared in an instant.
Everyone lives in Yangzhou City, who doesn't know who, naturally knows the roots, it can be said that just received the post from Mu Zhifu, many people are ready to carve up those shops and acres.
The price is nearly half lower than the market price, and I'm afraid only a fool will not be impressed.
Even so, just in case, those rumors will disappear.
When the time comes, others are full of money, but they are empty-handed, isn't it laughing for everyone?
At noon, in the expectant eyes of many gentry and magnates, Lin Ruhai of the Salt Imperial History Yamen and Yangzhou Governor Mu Tianyan arrived together, and Lin Zhao, the historian of the Salt Imperial History Yamen, followed them, accompanied by the files and land deeds that had pulled a carriage, which showed how much harvest the Imperial History Yamen had gained some time ago.
There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.
But in the north of the river, Yangzhou is the first to be recommended.
Starting from Yang Guang digging the Grand Canal, with the rise of Yangzhou salt merchants, Yangzhou's luxury has been comparable to the royal family, Tang Du Mu has "waist around 100,000 runs, riding a crane down Yangzhou" said, after the accumulation of Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, Yangzhou belongs to the south area, the first city in the north of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, Yangzhou, as a famous city in the south, has at least gathered a number of wealthy gentry and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, which one does not have a house or industry in Yangzhou?
When Mu Tianyan, the prefect of Yangzhou, walked out with Lin Ruhai, the imperial historian of the salt patrol, everyone turned their attention to Lin Ruhai...... Behind Lin Zhao.
In the Jiangnan area, the public news is almost transparent, and the wealthy and powerful can get detailed information as soon as possible.
Although I know Lin Ruhai...... Lin Zhao, who was behind him, killed many people of the Wei family and captured his clansmen, as well as several literati gentry and small merchants, and many people and families were more or less related to them.
But even so, when such a big benefit is in front of them, it doesn't matter whether Lin Ruhai kills people or Lin Zhao kills people, what matters is how many shops and how many acres of land they can get from the Yanxun Imperial Shi Yamen today.
Mu Tianyan laughed and said: "This official is here, just to be a guarantor and a middle-aged person, and stand up for your smooth platform today, and have no other intentions." Please Lin Yushi take out the gifts prepared for everyone!"
As soon as they heard that today's protagonist was Lin Ruhai, everyone's eyes instantly left Lin Zhao and turned to Lin Ruhai, which was hot.
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, then nodded at his subordinates, and soon the boxes were carried down one by one, and then the land deeds of shops and acres were placed.
Lin Zhao stood quietly behind him, motionless, and listened very quietly to the cheap father's words: "Ladies and gentlemen, the title deeds of the shops and acres are here, and the official even invited the officials of the political department to personally handle the transfer procedures for everyone on the spot. ”
At these words, everyone's hearts trembled, but they still couldn't help but look at those boxes of land deed information.
To this day, who dares to underestimate the Yangzhou Yushi Yamen?
I'm afraid that before the transfer, everyone has already prepared the silver ticket.
Mu Tianyan said to Lin Ruhai: "Lin Yushi, it is said that the scenery of this Lichun Courtyard is good, and the official has not been here yet, so it is better for you and me to take a turn in this courtyard together and appreciate the charm of this Jiangdu water town!"
Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard this: "I don't dare to ask for it!"
He was about to get up, when he suddenly turned to look at Lin Zhao and said with a smile: "Zhao'er, you can come over too." ”
Lin Zhao arched his hand slightly and said, "Yes!"
Mu Tianyan smiled slightly.
He invited Lin Ruhai to go out, naturally to let these businessmen relax and boldly buy it, instead of being jealous because the Lin family's father and son were in charge.
Therefore, it is best for this Lin Zhao to leave together.
But he is a dignified prefect of Yangzhou, and his rank is higher than that of the Imperial History of Salt Patrol, and he is an elder, so naturally he can't invite Lin Zhao.
But Lin Ruhai is also an old oilman in officialdom, but he is straight and elegant when he hears the strings.
After the three of them left the hall, there was a sudden uproar and disputes in the hall, for a piece of fertile land or a shop with an excellent location, even friends on weekdays were fighting for red faces and thick necks, if people saw it, I was afraid that they couldn't believe it.
It can only be said that interests are moving, and in the face of interests, it doesn't matter what identity or face is.
Although this Lichun courtyard is a spring building, but the operation of a hundred years, the owners of the past generations have spent their hearts to create a beautiful scenery, only to see the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, the flowers and plants are flourishing, the flowers are swaying everywhere, the precious peonies such as 'Guiji drunk', 'delicate three changes' and other precious peonies bloom with bowls of flowers, exuding a faint fragrance. The clear water under the curved bridge is like a mirror, and as soon as someone comes, the dense golden-scaled red carp will crowd from all directions, and jump out of the water one after another, as if someone is washing a piece of red cloth on the water surface.
The three of them walked on the curved bridge, Mu Tianyan saw the underwater red carp, his heart was happy, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his own servant sent a box, Mu Tianyan raised his hand and sprinkled it, and threw a handful of fish food into the water, the fish head was crowded, like a red wave, the fish was crowded and even the water could not be seen, if you reached out and fished, you could easily pick up a few koi.
Is this a skillful move?
Where does it look like you've never been there?
Lin Zhao glanced at Mu Tianyan and complained in his heart.
I only heard Mu Tianyan sigh: "The fish in this pond only know that they are fed by others, and after a long time, they think it is natural, don't you know that if people like it, it will be a delicious meal when you catch it!"
Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, and said: "What the prefect said is very true, the fish in this pond are fat, you can take the wine, and the clear water is as promised, it is to raise a new batch of new ones, and it is also a beautiful scenery!"
"Hahaha...... , Lin Yushi said it well. Mu Tianyan laughed.
......
An hour passed quickly.
The three of them returned to the hall, and at this time in the hall, those land deeds and the like had been carved up, and the gentry and nobles who were still fighting together before were now gathered in groups of three or two to talk softly, just by looking at the looks of these people, everyone knew that everyone had gained a lot.
Zhang Wannian handed an account book to Lin Ruhai and said, "Master, this is the account book!"
Lin Ruhai just glanced at it and handed it over to Lin Zhao behind him.
Mu Tianyan watched from the side, his eyes flickering.
Lin Zhao put the account book in his sleeve, bowed his hand to Mu Tianyan and Lin Ruhai, and then took a step forward, clapped his hands gently, and said, "Everyone, Lin Zhao, who is patrolling the history of the Yamen of the Imperial History of the Salt Palace, has something to say to you." ”
As soon as he said this, the whole hall immediately fell silent.
Mu Tianyan's eyes couldn't help shrinking.
You know, even he can't just say a word and silence the whole hall.
But Lin Zhao just clapped his hands and said a faint word, which made the hundreds of people in the hall quiet for a moment.
The deterrent effect in this is even stronger than that of his dignified Yangzhou prefect.
Thinking of this, Mu Tianyan's heart felt uncomfortable, but he was helpless.
