Thousand Sails Tower. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The banks of the Bianhe River are always very lively, pedestrians often like to walk along the clusters of Cai Lou Huan Gate, from time to time to point out, when there are children playing and playing, it will attract more people's attention under the Cai Lou Huan Gate.

Qianfan Lou is famous for being able to stand on the third floor and race thousands of sails around the Bianhezhou Bridge, and every year the dragon boat race makes it the best place to find a table for hundreds of gold, even in normal times, it is also overcrowded, and it often takes a few days in advance to reserve a seat.

Of course, Jiang Feng didn't have to go to the most conspicuous position on the third floor, in fact, a wine banquet like this is more suitable for the halls and pavilions supported by flowers and trees, a single courtyard, a bamboo clip, and a ramp in Fanglin, which is a good place for drinking and joy at the night banquet.

Ten bottles of wine with tiger stripes on a white background and a black vase are the best racing alcohol brewed by Qianfan Lou, it is said that this racing alcohol is also named after a group of dragon boat rowing men drank this racing alcohol more than ten years ago, and became the dragon boat race to win the championship, which made this racing alcohol become the hero wine of this Qianfan Building, where foreign men come to drink, they have to taste this wine, show their heroism.

Jiang Feng didn't like this kind of banquet very much, because it was indeed too time-consuming and energy-consuming, but sometimes the necessary form was indispensable.

However, he never thought that on this, the Bianliang people could also play so many tricks, looking at the scene in front of him, he had to admit that after experiencing the Tang Dynasty, the upper class society of this era has already had so many exquisiteness and fancy in the banquet industry.

This Cui Shang is quite good at arranging, and the atmosphere of the specifications has indeed come up, but it is estimated that the cost will definitely not be small.

All this is not important to Jiang Feng, as he himself said, all this beauty is based on a large amount of money.

Although Cui Shang has not yet made his attitude clear, he feels to Jiang Feng that this Boling Cui clan is a little moved.

As a disciple of the Boling Cui clan with five surnames and seven hopes, how could Cui Shang become an unknown white body in this Bianliang City, Jiang Feng was indeed very surprised at first.

Even after the Huangchao Rebellion and the rise of the feudal lords, the era of literati has passed, and the era of respect by force has arrived, but as one of the five surnames and seven hopes, the Cui family is still quite respected, at least in Guanzhong, the Cui family is still very active.

Although the Bianliang Zhu clan is a rebel general of the Yellow Nest, the lords under his command are also mostly martial artists, even if there is a family of scholars, but most of them are Jing, Xie, Li and other families who followed the old Liang King Zhu Wen to fight the world, and other literati are indeed difficult to be taken seriously, but Jiang Feng has always felt that with Cui Shang's talent, even if he does not have the aura of the Boling Cui clan, he can also be reused in Daliang, but later Chang Kun woke up with a word, and it is precisely because he is the son of the Boling Cui clan that it is impossible to be reused in Bianliang.

The Qinghe Cui clan is still very favored in Guanzhong, and the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan are from the same lineage, although they have already established their own households, but in the eyes of the Zhu family, they are still a raccoon dog, so they naturally do not want to see it, which also makes it difficult for the Cui clan to get ahead in Henan.

Cui's situation in Bianliang is actually the epitome of the old famous families headed by five surnames and seven wangs in the world since the Tang Dynasty, a large number of wealthy families who built feudal lords by force began to rise in the Central Plains, most of them were born in the ugly lower class, beggars, tenant farmers, smuggler salt dealers, bandits, butchers, and lay monks and Taoists constituted the basic family foundation of these emerging wealthy clan lords.

These people were originally envious, jealous and hateful of the old famous families, and after they had the opportunity to overturn these old famous families, they would naturally not give them many more opportunities, even if sometimes the situation forced them to use their talents, they were also cautious.

This situation is better in places such as Guanzhong, Nanyang, and Xiangyang, and is particularly prominent in places such as Daliang, Hedong, Huainan, Jingnan, Tanyue, and the three towns of Hebei.

In a word, the local feudal lords who respect Li Tang Zhengshuo more are slightly better, and those emerging feudal lords who rely entirely on swords and guns are particularly disgusted with these famous families.

But no matter what, these old famous families still have a deep-rooted influence on this society, even if they are not allowed to enter the center of power, but they still have a lot of influence in all walks of life, hundreds of years of family precipitation and cultural edification, so they are still popular in many aspects, so Cui Shang and other famous children still have their survival channels in Bianliang City, and it is not a problem for Jiang Feng to ask for a decent banquet, of course, the premise is that there must be enough gold cakes and silver collars.

Before coming to Bianliang, Jiang Feng also thought about it a lot, and when he came to ask for help, he would definitely have to spend money, but how to spend money was also quite particular, including Qin Zaidao, Zhang Yue, Gu Minghai and others all felt that they had to go through the doorway, and they had to spend what they should do, so they also demanded a donation from the gentry and merchants in Gushi City.

These donations were replaced with gold and silver collars, which was also a common practice in this era, bribes, gifts, rewards, tributes, rewards, rewards, and donations, most of which were made of gold and silver, but no one used gold and silver for daily use.

Before coming, Jiang Feng prepared two hundred taels of gold collars and more than one hundred taels of silver collars, which was not a small amount.

But how to spend this money, Jiang Feng has also been thinking about it.

For some people, whether the money is spent or not, his attitude will not change, such as Li Gu in the seat, Nan Chenzhou is his Li family's nest, this battle, he will do his best to promote without spending money, if he can really show enough strength, he will even find a way to support himself, and it is not impossible to provide himself with some money and material support, as long as he can be useful to him.

Another example is the master of the Chongzheng Academy, who had a good conversation with Li Gu, and intuitively told Jiang Feng that although this one did not show much enthusiasm towards himself, he could feel that the other party was very interested in him, especially his control over Gu Shi City, and there were several questions that he consciously or unconsciously knocked on the side to understand some issues that ordinary people did not pay much attention to.

For example, which gentry fled to Gushi in Gwangju, and whether they made a living from the fields in Gwangju City, or made a fortune by operating a specific industry, or pawning money, these questions are quite tricky, or professional, and they are also directly related to the support of these people for Gushijun.

For example, if the Yuan family is willing to continue to engage in this industry, then there is a great possibility that these people will rebel, and if they are engaged in a certain industry, such as grain, iron smelting, transportation, salt merchants, pharmacies, forestry and other industries, it depends on what Yuan chooses.

This straight bachelor's inquiry was very skillful, and he quietly revealed a lot of meaning, Jiang Feng naturally wanted to repay the favor, and some necessary information was naturally revealed to the other party.

However, this is not the time for this occasion to explore something deeper, and the high-spirited guests are still indulging in the performances brought by the kabuki.

"Erlang, come and drink a cup, this racing alcohol can't be drunk anywhere. The man sitting on Jiang Feng's side drank the wine, obviously liked this competition alcohol very much, and at first Lu Gao introduced this person, the figure in the fifth room of the political affairs hall, Pei Lin, the writer of the military room.

"Master Pei, please. "The operating mechanism of Jiang Feng Daliang Political Hall is not very clear, but it is estimated that it should be in the same vein as the political hall of the Tang Dynasty, and the five rooms of this political hall are to correspond to the six departments of Shangshu Province according to the convention, and it is also a prominent position, but the number of writers in the military room is different, and it is not clear how much weight this Pei holds the pen.

However, since he was invited by Li Gu, Jiang Feng estimated that he should be inclined to send troops to Caizhou in terms of attitude, so he still invited wine very politely and warmly.

"Erlang, you have to pay more respects to Lord Pei, it is rare for Lord Pei to participate in this kind of party, but it took me a lot of thought to invite him. Li Gu laughed while supporting the female trick beside him, and said with a smile: "Master Pei, the political hall is still arguing over the cost of the military discussion?"

"Why should the general embarrass me? That's all something that the adults discuss, but it's not our turn to put their beaks in the face. Pei Lin was also a little profligate, shaking his head and saying, "But if it is a matter decided by the Chongzheng Yuan, no matter how much quarrel there is on the side of the political hall, it will come according to the convention." ”

"Oh, what Master Pei means is that as long as the Chongzheng Yuan side finalizes it as soon as possible, then the political affairs hall side will not be a problem?" Straight Bachelor's question made Pei Lin sober up a lot, "Master Li, I didn't say that, I only said that it should be in accordance with the convention, as for whether it will change the convention, then I don't know." ”

"Master Pei, you have something to say, hehe, general,......" Straight Bachelor's eyes turned around and returned to Li Gu's body, Li Gu nodded, waved his hand, and Lu Gao, who was sitting at the bottom, immediately understood, and signaled with his eyes: "Senior Sister Ju,......"

Ju Hui also came to his senses, got up and took out a handful of silver collars from his sac, and put them in the outermost tray, and the singers and dancers also stood up with great interest, bowed and quietly left, leaving only a handful of guests in the hall.

Chu Qi and Chen Shi and several personal guards brought by Li Gu also stood outside the lobby to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

"Master Pei, there are no outsiders here now, although Erlang is our beginning, but you must also know our thoughts, so I want you to dial a little. Li Kang's eyes were a little deeper, "I thought there would be no problems in the political affairs hall." ”

"Lord Li, I don't hide anything in front of you and General Li, three years ago, in the first battle of Nanchenzhou, the loss of Daliang was too great, and you also know that in the past two years, Ruluo suffered a major drought in a row, and Yiluo thieves were everywhere, which is also the main reason why the court asked to use troops against Puzhou instead of Caizhou, it is really that the court has no money and cannot afford to fight. Pei Lin said with a wry smile. (To be continued.) )
