"Are you going to just stand there all night?" It was Zhu Fengtong who came back to his senses first, and said with a slightly red smile.

"Miss, the piano sounds like a fairy, I'm reminiscing." Song Nan smiled and slowly ascended the pavilion.

Zhu Fengtong said with a smile: "Don't laugh at me, my piano skills are not good, just play blindly, you don't understand the rhythm, you naturally think it's good, in fact, there are many flaws." ”

Song Nan said: "The quality of the piano is secondary, the key is to have feelings in it, this song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is played with a heartfelt sadness, but it has nothing to do with the piano art. ”

Zhu Fengtong's face was feverish, and he chuckled: "You sing well, I didn't expect that the dignified Ming Dynasty Zhenguo Gong, the majestic Zhenguo General in front of the people, would actually sing music." ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "Don't hurt me, I can thank God if I don't go out of tune, after listening to it a few times, I will naturally sing, plus you are playing the qin, I have to sing along; If I don't know how to play a musical instrument, I will have a harmonious song with you, and then it will be enjoyable. ”

Zhu Fengtong blushed and said, "What nonsense? ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "I used the wrong words, please forgive me." Anyway, Miss Fengtong remembered that son-in-law, so she played the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" under this moonlit night? ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "The slave family is bored waiting for a no-show person, this person is a bad person, he won't send someone to inform him if he doesn't come, the slave family's wine is also cold, and the food is cold, so I can only play the piano to relieve my boredom." ”

Song Nan said with a low smile: "That person was wronged, his subordinates made a mistake, so he knew about the appointment of the beautiful woman, otherwise he would have broken his leg and crawled." ”

Zhu Fengtong chuckled and said, "Forget it, I'm not a person who cares, please sit down; It's so late, I thought you wouldn't come. ”

Song Nan smiled: "So you left two people to guard the gate, right?" ”

Zhu Fengtong chirped: "You are really annoying, it's not to wait for you, there is already a gatekeeper on duty, don't be sentimental." ”

Song Nan sighed: "I see, I would be wrong, I was ruthlessly annoyed by being amorous, I was embarrassed." ”

Zhu Fengtong said with a smile: "If you don't come for the night and a half, you will blame me for knocking on the chess pieces and falling the lanterns." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, my mistake is done." I haven't eaten yet, and when I heard that Miss Fengtong had an appointment, I rushed here and waited for a feast. ”

Zhu Fengtong pursed his lips and smiled, got up and walked to the pavilion: "The slave family helped you urge you to go, and the slave family didn't have dinner, you were all harmed." ”

Song Nan looked at her beautiful figure, her hair in a high bun, and her white skin under the moon, she couldn't bear it in her heart, and got up and whispered: "Fengtong." ”

Zhu Fengtong stopped at the pavilion and looked back: "What? ”

Song Nan stepped forward, hugged Zhu Fengtong in his arms, Zhu Fengtong was infantile, the red lips were caught by Song Nan, and after a while, a tongue broke through the teeth, the small tongue was sucked numb, sighed in his heart, put his hands around Song Nan's waist, kissed back, and the two kissed breathlessly according to the pillar of the pavilion.

After a while, Zhu Fengtong removed Song Nan's hand that was stroking his buttocks, leaned back and gasped out of Song Nan's mouth: "Don't, Qingluan, they are coming to deliver wine and food, it's not good to see it." ”

Song Nan reluctantly let go of her waist and smacked her lips: "It's beautiful, I seem to be full." ”

Zhu Fengtong took a sip, straightened his messy clothes, and went down the pavilion with his skirt, and just walked a few steps, he heard Qingluan's voice coming from in front of him: "Miss, don't move, the wine and food are hot." ”

Song Nan was very happy in her heart, Qingluan must have seen the scene of the two kissing just now, and she was embarrassed to show up, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence, she appeared just after the incident.

The wine and food were placed on the small stone table, but there were only four or five dishes, Song Nan held the chopsticks and said in amazement: "Are you a treat?" Just order? ”

Zhu Fengtong pursed his lips and smiled: "How much must you eat when you treat you?" It's the sincerity that counts. Besides, these dishes are very good dishes, that plate is fried bamboo shoots, this plate is cold melon, No, this is stewed tofu with wild mountain mushrooms, all of which are extremely delicious dishes. ”

If you don't introduce it, Song Nan almost collapsed when she introduced it, and said in a low voice: "Miss Zhu, I have been fighting for a few months, and I am about to vomit when I eat green vegetables and radishes, and it is difficult to swallow when I see vegetarian dishes, you still make some dishes like this, pity me." ”

Zhu Fengtong was stunned and said: "In this way, I didn't expect this section, I thought you would like it, so what do you like to eat?" The slave told them to get it. ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said, "Do you have pig's trotters?" Two braised pig's trotters. ”

Zhu Fengtong frowned and said: "No one in my family eats that, and there must be no one in the kitchen." ”

Song Nan said: "Are there any chickens and ducks?" It's okay to stir-fry a plate of chicken and duck. ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "No, the family doesn't eat chickens and ducks." ”

Song Nan said bitterly: "Are you all vegetarian at home?" ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "No, there may be fish, Qingluan, tell the kitchen to cook a plate of fish, Song Gongzi wants to eat fish." ”

Song Nan sighed, fish is fish, it's better than nothing. Zhu Fengtong poured a glass of wine for Song Nan apologetically and said, "I salute you, next time I invite you to dinner, I will prepare your favorite meat, and I will be there today." ”

In the face of the soft-spoken and gentle request, Song Nan had no resistance, picked up the wine glass and drank it, and drank it with light and tasteless bamboo shoots, cucumbers, tofu, wild mushrooms and other things, not to mention, after eating a few bites, he felt that it was not so unpalatable.

Zhu Fengtong put down his wine glass and asked softly: "I heard that you set up a stage in the white paper workshop today to sell war bonds, why did you do this?" Millions of taels of silver, in fact, do not have to be so fanfare, just withdraw from the accounts of the consortium. ”

Song Nan swallowed a piece of bamboo shoot and shook his head: "No, in the final analysis, this battle is fought for the court, and it makes no sense for me to give my own money, besides, there is indeed money in the account of the consortium, but my money only accounts for a small part, and there is no reason for everyone to pay this money." Once there is a war, this money will be like a bottomless pit, and the marquis will be dissatisfied with their money if they use their money as military expenses, and I don't want them to be dissatisfied. ”

Zhu Fengtong nodded and said: "I see, since it is a bottomless pit, how will the private property you raised be repaid in the future?" ”

Song Nan said: "I have reached an agreement with the emperor, after defeating the Tartars, the cattle, sheep, horses, armor, weapons and other booty will belong to me, and I will be able to repay part of it if I sell it, and then I will find a way, it really can't be done, when the time comes, I will ask the emperor for it, is it true that the court can't pull out a dime?" ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "You asked me to be in charge of the business of the financial group, and I have made some money in the past few years, and everyone has made a lot of money, but all the money you earned has been invested in the arsenal; The slave family invited you here today, because when I heard that you raised bonds, I wanted to take out the silver to fight this war for you, but what you just said is also reasonable, this is not your personal war, it is a war of the imperial court, and it is a little inappropriate to do so. ”

Song Nan smiled: "Thank you, I know you will mention this matter, except for the British Duke and you, everyone else in the consortium is a person who can only share benefits and cannot share risks; The situation in the DPRK is complex and volatile, and I don't want to arouse their dissatisfaction at this time, which is one of the important reasons. ”

Zhu Fengtong nodded and said: "I understand, it's just that the loot you just said is probably not easy to offset the loan, I thought of an idea by myself when you didn't come just now, I don't know if it's feasible or not." ”

Song Nan stopped eating and asked, "Let's hear it." ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "The business of the consortium now involves real estate, transportation, salt transportation, cloth, grain and many other aspects, and we are already the first in the capital. It is precisely because of the wide range of involvement that the funds are somewhat stretched, and there is one of the most profitable businesses that we have not been involved in, that is, the business of the money bank. The regimental marquis run a few small money houses on hand, but they are not in the climate. Feihe Qianzhuang, the largest money village in the capital, is a partnership between the Duke of Dingguo and the Governor of the Five Armies, Hui Anbo, and has always monopolized all the money and village industries in the capital. I heard that the scene of your fundraising today is very hot, so I thought, why not take this opportunity to set up a special bank for issuing bonds, and take this opportunity to raise more funds to invest in the business of the consortium, so that you can not only make profits to make up for the difference in the future, but also use private funds to enter the money bank business in a big way, and get a share of the pie with Feihe Bank. ”

Song Nan was surprised: "The business of the consortium has been involved so widely, I don't even know it." ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "How do you know, I am taking care of these things, and the Hou masters don't care about anything, they only care about sharing money, they scream when they don't make money, and laugh when they make money, only I calculate these things every day, I really don't know what I'm for." ”

Song Nan took Zhu Fengtong's hand and patted it lightly: "Thank you for your hard work, you are a major shareholder, and the consortium is headed by you, so you naturally have to take care of it." The approach you just mentioned is worth considering, but I think there are some minor problems. ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "What's the problem? ”

Song Nan said: "War bonds are raised for war, and if there is no war, how can this kind of bond be issued to raise funds in the name of the imperial court?" Besides, the interest rate is too high, as high as 30% of the interest is the driving force to attract everyone to come in, if you use such a high interest rate of silver to do business, I am afraid that you will lose all your money. ”

Zhu Fengtong frowned and said: "That's right, but the private funds are so abundant, if they can be concentrated, the road construction of the whole Ming Dynasty that you mentioned before, the full opening of the post office, and the distribution of goods in the north and south can be done." In addition, the reconstruction of the northwest requires a large amount of capital investment, and if you can seize these opportunities, you will definitely have a lot of money, but unfortunately you will need too much silver. As far as I know, this time the northwest reconstruction of the imperial court, Feihe Qianzhuang participated in it, advanced funds to build, and then the imperial court used finance and taxes to deduct the revenue, and the profit was nearly fifty percent, which is the benefit of strong financial resources. ”

Song Nan was stunned: "It turns out that they make money like this, why is the imperial court so anxious to rebuild, and they don't give me money to fight when they have money, I'm afraid that these people are behind the scenes and say a lot of things, and the interests here must be dredged." That being the case, there's no reason why we shouldn't get a piece of the pie. Not...... I can think about this matter as a whole, and I can't make a decision in a hurry, maybe there is a better reason. I will be on my way to the northwest in five days at the latest, and the most urgent task now is to win this battle, otherwise everything will be in vain, and these things will be discussed later. Are you sure you want to spend all your good time tonight talking about business? ”

Zhu Fengtong said with a smile: "If you don't like to listen to me, I won't say it, in short, it makes you have a number in your heart, from now on, we won't talk about these things, it's really a bit of a bad scenery." Not...... What are we talking about? ”

Song Nan took a sip of wine and said, "Fengyue." ”
