Chapter 71: The Banquet
When the housekeeper announced that the Duan family would feast the heroes of the Quartet in the village at noon, Zhao Chongyang took the initiative to chat with Shi Jin on the side. Zhao Chongyang praised Shi Jin's character and martial arts. When Shi Jin heard that Zhao Chongyang was a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect, he said that he himself had a great relationship with the Golden Sword Sect, and he and Zhao Chongyang were also brothers. Because his master Wang Jin is a registered disciple of Jintai, the ancestor of the Golden Sword Gate, and he is also a brother to Zhou Dong.
With this half of the same door, the relationship between the two is even closer. Zhao Chongyang invited Jiuwenlong to join the Chamber of Commerce, and when the time is ripe in the future, he will raise troops to resist Jin, and everyone will work together to protect the country and the people, and make contributions. Shi Jin agreed, promised to go home and make arrangements, and came to Xiangyang Wantong Mall to find him in a month. At that time, three more heroes will be brought to match.
Zhao Chongyang took out a hundred taels of gold as a gift: "Senior Brother Shi's family has a big business, and there is no shortage of this use, but if the business of the Chamber of Commerce develops in Shaanxi in the future, your Zhuangyuan is the best base." Therefore, your Shijiazhuang courtyard and site let the bankers continue to guard, please ask the housekeeper to help you take care of it, as short as five years, as long as ten years, we will operate that area.
I don't know if the rumors are true, I heard that Senior Brother, you have a very close relationship with the three heroes on Huashan, one is called Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master, the other is Chen Da, the Jumping Stream, and the other is Yang Chun, the white snake. I want to convince them to come and serve with me, and that's a good thing. It's better to let them take hundreds of people down the mountain together, and choose the young and strong ones to be brought to Xiangyang by you and the Shenji Military Division, and the rest will be led by Chen Yang's two elder brothers to guard the village courtyard and help plant crops. Work with the housekeeper to run the place well. Externally, it is your distant relative, because of the bandits in his hometown, he can't live anymore, so he came to join him. When the magistrate came to ask, his poll tax was indispensable. I wonder what the senior brother thinks? ”
"Senior brother is a true god, my relationship with the three heroes of Huashan is a confidential matter, that is, only the housekeeper and a few henchmen in our village know about it. Since you arrange it this way, of course, you have your deep meaning, just do what you want. ”
"Since the senior brother agreed, he didn't panic at this time. Walk! Let's eat together, and then introduce you to a few young heroes. ”
Turning around, seeing that Qian Xiao'an, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Gong Wang and others were not far from the two, Zhao Chongyang beckoned everyone to come over, introduced several people to each other, and introduced Fang Tianjie's situation to Shi Jin. At this time, Fang Tianjie naturally followed Duan Meinu to meet his father-in-law, Duan Taigong.
A few people were about to beckon their men to return to their lodgings for lunch, and they were ready to go to the village for a hero's feast. At this time, the housekeeper personally invited Zhao Chongyang and several subordinates to the inner courtyard, saying that the owner of the village set up a family banquet in the living room of the inner courtyard to invite the guests of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce to dinner.
The two followed the housekeeper through the courtyard of the banquet and came to a delicate courtyard, where a sturdy old man in his fifties stood at the door of the living room to greet them: "You are the young master in the mouth of the little son-in-law, at such a young age, there are such heroes and heroes to follow, and the future is unlimited." ”
"Uncle Duan praised, some trivial things are insignificant! The three behind you are the three elder brothers of the Duan family, right? ”
"It's the three sons who don't get angry. Okay, let's come in and sit down. ”
Everyone followed the old lady and sat down. Everyone sat around a large round table, and Fang Tianjie and Duan Sanniang sat on the left and right sides of Duan Taigong and his wife.
Taigong spoke: "Today, our Duanjiazhuang competition to recruit relatives and choose a son-in-law has finally ended, and my Sanniang has finally found her home, and she has once again met the second man she can't beat." This is thanks to the Jiangnan family for raising a good son, and also thanks to Zhao Jieyuan, the young president of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, who brought all the heroes to fight. After the banquet here is over for a while, I will discuss the marriage of the two with Zhao Gongzi. The following banquet begins, I hope everyone eats and drinks well. ”
After Duan Taigong finished speaking, Zhao Chongyang continued: "Today, I am grateful to Uncle Duan for his kindness and set up a family banquet to entertain us, and here, on behalf of our guests, I would like to express my gratitude to their family for their hospitality. My uncle and my brother Fang Tianjie won the heart of the Duan family's Sanniang sister in the ring today, and they are about to be destined for three lives. Here, on behalf of the tens of thousands of congregations of the Vantone Chamber of Commerce, I would like to express my warm congratulations to both of them! At the same time, I want to say that Sister Sanniang has chosen the right person. My uncle Fang Tianjie is indeed a rare young hero, not only strong in martial arts, invincible bravery, but also calm temperament, not panicked, given time, he must be a general who can stand alone, and it is possible to worship the marquis in the future. Now I make a statement, in the future, the Duan family is the in-laws of the Fang family, and it is also the in-laws of my Zhao family, as long as you are willing to cooperate with our Wantong Chamber of Commerce, whether you work alone or join in, I can guarantee that your Duan family's income will be at least no less than 300,000 yuan per year. ”
The annual income of 300,000 guan is almost unimaginable for a rich man like the Duan family, who mainly focuses on farming. Tens of thousands of them have planted nearly 30,000 acres of land in the area of Huangnigang, and they have only accumulated an average of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year, and 300,000 yuan may not be able to accumulate in ten years no matter how hard they work. Duan Taigong nodded slightly to express his belief, Duan Wu was still young and not fully sensible, and Duan Da and Duan Er didn't believe it anyway.
Fang Tianjie saw Sanniang's two elder brothers showing disapproving expressions, so he took over the topic of Zhao Chongyang and said, "Two uncles, don't think that my brother-in-law is talking big. Do you know how much money our Vantone Chamber of Commerce made last year? More than 13 million. And the total financial income of our entire Great Song Dynasty is less than 20 million yuan. Also, do you know how much Hongli our Fang family received a year ago? More than a million pieces. Therefore, it is a conservative estimate to ensure that your annual net income is not less than 300,000 yuan, and it should reach more than 500,000 yuan per year at that time. ”
Duan Dadao: "After a hundred years of hard work, our Duan family wants to accumulate a family property to one million, but now it is still far from one million, if it is added to 300,000 yuan this year, it should be more than one million." Ha, our Duan family will soon become a super family with millions of family assets. ”
Zhao Chongyang said with a smile: "At that time, your Duan family was already a super family with a family fortune of more than one million. Because you don't calculate the accounts in this way, you can't just count the family's property in cash, but also real estate and real estate. Your Duan family owns 30,000 acres of land and has five large and small farms, and the discount is as high as more than 400,000 guan, isn't it already worth one million guan when that money is added to the deposit? ”
"Oh, really?" Everyone in the Duan family laughed......
