Volume 1 Mu Xuanzhou Chapter 36 Jinling (2)
Huangfu Jixun was about to ask again, but Li Congyi changed his mind and talked about other things.
"The son-in-law came to Jinling for another purpose, which is to set up a Jiangnan Bank. This Jiangnan Bank has a big benefit. If a merchant in Hangzhou wants to buy Xuan porcelain, he only needs to deposit silver taels at the Hangzhou branch of Jiangnan Bank, and the kiln owner of Xuan porcelain can withdraw silver taels at the Xuancheng branch of Jiangnan Bank. If the salt merchants in Xuanzhou want to buy the sea salt in Hangzhou, they only need to deposit silver taels in the Xuancheng branch, and the salt merchants in Hangzhou can withdraw the silver taels in the Hangzhou branch. In this way, Jiangnan Bank does not need to transport the silver between Hangzhou and Xuancheng. ”
Huangfu Jixun snorted coldly, and was about to say, "How can there be such a good thing in this world, so that you are running into two ends equal", but of course, so many years of political career are not in vain, and he understands what Li Congyi is talking about.
snorted coldly at the moment, "Aren't you afraid that the local officials of Wu Yueguo will copy Jiangnan Bank?" ”
Li Congyi smiled slightly: "If you can't let Wu Yue's businessman take a stake in Jiangnan Bank, then change the branch to another bank, and then sign a cooperation agreement." A living person can't let urine suffocate to death, can he? ”
After talking about the right thing, Li Congyi didn't want to talk to Huangfu Jixun about other useless things, so he ordered someone to bring a full set of tea-making tools, light a small coal stove, set up a tea table, and make tea for this cheap father-in-law.
It turns out that this tea is so expensive, this kid only gave half a catty to the emperor, and he also gave me half a catty, which is a good intention!
Then, Weng's family sat down to eat together.
Huangfu Jixun's father, Huang Fuhui, was a Weizhou soldier in the later Tang Dynasty, but he was a squad leader, and he lost all his money due to gambling, so he simply plotted a rebellion with several other squad leaders, and did not want the Weizhou army to respond, so Huang Fuhui arrested Yang Renhui, the then general, and wanted to make him the leader of the rebels. Yang Renhui did not obey, so Huang Fuhui killed him, and held a battalion commander hostage, but the battalion commander did not agree, so he killed him again. Huang Fuhui went to find the deputy general Zhao Zaili again, Zhao Zaili panicked and wanted to climb the wall and escape, but Huang Fuhui grabbed his ankle and dragged him off the wall. Huang Fuhui showed him Yang Renxi's head, and Zhao Zaili had no choice but to agree to be the leader of the rebels. The rebels then captured Yecheng (present-day Anyang, Henan), and Zhao Zaili, who claimed to be the queen of Jieduliu, appointed Huang Fuhui as the commander of the Mabu army.
Huang Fuhui led his troops to burn and loot in Yecheng, went to a family, asked what his surname was, and replied that his surname was the country, and Huang Fuhui said, "I just want to break the country", so he killed all the family; went to another family, asked what his surname was, and replied that his surname was Wan, Huang Fuhui said, "It's enough for me to kill 10,000 families", and killed the whole family.
But Huang Fuhui was lucky. Later Tang Emperor and Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao sent Li Siyuan to lead troops to fight the rebellion, but unexpectedly, the crusading army also rebelled, and welcomed Li Siyuan as emperor with the rebels. After Li Siyuan became emperor, he appointed Huang Fuhui as the assassin of Chenzhou. The Later Tang Dynasty was the Later Jin Dynasty, and Huang Fuhui has been serving as assassins in various states. Until the Khitan invaded south and captured the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Fuhui led the army to flee south, and after arriving in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was still the state assassin.
Huang Fuhui is such a ruffian, but he was born in a chaotic era like five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and as a result, he ascended to the sky in one step, from a pawn to a state assassin.
After the Zhou Dynasty invaded the Southern Tang Dynasty, Huang Fuhui led the army to aid Shouzhou and guarded the Qingliu Pass. Huang Fu Hui under the mountain, as a result, Zhao Kuangyin with elite soldiers and horses, detoured from behind the mountain, raided Huang Fu Hui's side, Huang Fu Hui was defeated, retreated to Chuzhou City, Zhao Kuangyin chased after him, forced to the city. Huang Fuhui and Zhao Kuangyin said, "We are each our own masters, it is better for the two sides to set up an array to fight for victory." Zhao Kuangyin laughed and agreed to him. When Huang Fuhui's whole team went out of the city, as soon as the array was opened, Zhao Kuangyin led the army to assault, slashed Huang Fuhui's head with a knife, and captured him alive.
Huang Fuhui was also hard-hearted, looking calm in front of the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong, and died after refusing to be treated.
Huang Fu Hui has been running around in his early years, and in the end, only one son has grown up, which is Huang Fu Jixun. Huangfu Jixun's wife's family is also from a family of military generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and she has a son and three daughters for Huangfu Jixun, but the youngest son died young. Huangfu Jixun did not take concubines, but he had three large mansions in this Jinling City, and there were countless shops and real estate, and Huangfu Jixun raised a lot of beautiful prostitutes in other courtyards, and also gave him several children, but this kind of is considered an illegitimate child. This is also the reason why Huangfu Jixun was moved by Li Congyi's words, if he can find a way for his children to become rich, it is better than being frightened on the crumbling ship of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The relationship between Huangfu Jixun and his wife is not bad, but it is much better than the previous Jiang Guogong Li Congyi.
However, this time Huangfu Yunying returned to her parents' house, her complexion was very different.
It turned out that Huangfu Yunying inherited her father's height advantage, and her visual measurement was more than 1.7 meters. Li Congyi, as a royal family, has no shortage of nutrition, and his height is higher than that of others, and he is more than 1.7 meters, so the emperor Yunying stopped beside Li Congyi, and he was almost as tall as Li Congyi.
But in the eyes of Li Congyi's modern people, long legs have their own benefits of long legs, and the genuine Li Congyi is illiterate, and he is really a tyrannical treasure. Li Congyi had an inexplicable emotion in his heart, he had been in harmony with Huangfu Yunying in the past two nights, and Huangfu Yunying was moisturized, and he felt that her husband was now considerate and gentle, but he was really radiant.
The two daughters are one big and one young, the eldest is ten years old, and the younger is only six years old, which is a very cute age. Li Congyi hugged one while and kept amusing his two daughters, but Huangfu Yunying blamed her husband for spoiling the children and making the children not understand the rules.
Seeing this, Huangfu Jixun couldn't help but spit out: "If you want me to say, you can use hundreds of thousands of taels to supplement the Ning Guojun." Why don't you hurry up and give birth to a grandson and leave it to my grandson? ”
————
Li Congyi is the assassin of Xuanzhou, and he is also the commander of the Ningguo army, and the privy envoy Chen Qiao is one of Li Congyi's top bosses.
Li Congyi served as the commander of several battalions in the Ning Guojun, and Chen Qiao was quite cooperative, that is, Li Congyi applied for a new battalion as a personal guard, and Chen Qiao did not make it difficult. If the general state army was invited by the commanders, Chen Qiao would definitely not be, but since it was invited by Jiang Guogong, Chen Qiao still agreed.
Li Congyi entertained Chen Qiao at the Jinling Hotel, although the hotel was not cleaned up, but there was no problem in preparing one or two side rooms.
The colorful, fragrant and fragrant food, and the soft Jingtingshan sake, could not hide the worries of the privy envoy Chen Qiao.
"Lord Chen doesn't have to listen to those market opinions such as 'Tang soldiers are not as good as Song soldiers'." Li Congyi said, "In my opinion, it is not that the Tang soldiers are inferior to the Song soldiers, but that the Tang soldiers are not strong in battle, have poor armor, and are not diligent in drilling. ”
Li Congyi and Chen Qiaoyan talked about banking matters.
"There is a shortage of silver in the market today, and it is so bad that it is not good for trade. However, is there a real shortage of silver? But a large amount of silver is hidden in the cellar and sent to Hale. "In fact, China has historically been plagued by a shortage of silver, which in turn has affected its economic development. It was only when a large amount of silver was discovered in the Americas and a large amount of silver was imported into China in the triangular trade of the Spaniards and the Portuguese that the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty was freed from the problem of insufficient silver supply for a while, but only for a while.
There are very few silver mines in China, and production is far from sufficient. This is certainly one of the reasons for China's silver shortage. But that's not the case at the heart of the matter. Compared to the Spaniards, who had a huge import of silver from South America, everyone from the king to the nobility was still in debt. Chinese merchants and landlords, on the other hand, were keen to cast silver taels into silver balls and bury them in silver cellars. Until the change of dynasty, it was dug up by others.
This is also the terrible deflation caused by the shortage of silver in many Chinese dynasties, which often goes through a prosperous period.
This is also Li Congyi's discovery that he obviously smashed so much silver into Xuancheng, but like a mud cow entering the sea, the market is still full of worthless iron money minted by Li Yu.
"If the transaction is carried out through the bank, it is just a bill of exchange or a silver bill, and the bank only needs to add the number to one account and subtract the number from the other party's account, and the delivery of the silver money is completed." ”
However, regardless of what Li Congyi said, Chen Qiao was silent.
However, Chen Qiao also agreed to increase the number of two battalions of 1,000 people in the Yunning National Army.
Li Congyi sent Chen Qiao to the door, watched the carriage disappear into the dark night of Jinling, and just looked up at the stars in the night sky. Xu Meilan walked over, leaned on Li Congyi's arms, and said, "Everyone doesn't understand the matter of this bank now, so there's no need to rush it." ”
Li Congyi bowed his head and kissed Xu Meilan: "This bank is a business, on the surface, it is a bank, but in essence, it is trust. Jiang Guogong, Xuanzhou Assassin Shi, and Ning Guojun are all commanders, none of these three titles can give people enough confidence. However, I came to Jinling this time, in order to be able to deceive a little bit, and there is no disappointment if there is no expectation. ”
————
In the next few days, Li Congyi and Huangfu Yunying took two girls to Jinling, while waiting for Xuanzhou Commerce and Trade and Jinling Hotel to open.
The others also had their own things to do, so only Xu Meilan had nothing to do, so she also went shopping with a female accountant she brought out in the original planning and finance department.
Li Congyi bought a few clothes from Hangzhou for Xu Meilan, and Xu Meilan has changed one set every day in the past few days, dressing up beautifully.
Unexpectedly, something happened that day.
In this Jinling City, Huangfu Jixun is certainly the most powerful official among the generals, but Huangfu Jixun is only the largest military attache in the Divine Guard system in the Praetorian Guard. However, over the years, the Janissaries such as Xiongwu, Longwu, and Shenwu have long been dilapidated, and they cannot be compared with the strong horses of the Divine Guard.
In addition to the Praetorian Guard, there were many other military forces in Jinling City. There were guards guarding the imperial city, as well as city guards guarding the city walls on a daily basis, and Jinling Yin (similar to the mayor of Jinling) also had a horse infantry of several thousand men.
Sun Yongning is the son of Sun Yanxiang, the commander of the Jinling City Guard, and Sun Yanxiang's father Sun Sheng was the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty during Li Jing.
Sun Yongning has been unlucky these days, and he lost this month's regular money in the casino, and went to Yihong Mansion with a shy face to find a good Youyou girl, only to know that the Youyou girl was bought by Zhang Bin, the son of Yin Zhang Shao in Jinling.
Zhang Bin, this grandson! Sun Yongning was so angry that he jumped to his feet. Miss Yoyo begged him several times, wanting him to redeem herself. But Sun Yongning is the "Moonlight Clan" of this era, how can he save half a penny to redeem the Youyou girl?
Zhang Bin and Sun Yongning didn't deal with each other, the two fought openly and secretly, knowing that Sun Yongning liked Miss Yoyo, so he deliberately ransomed Miss Yoyo. There is a public saying that Brother Zi is coming to redeem himself, so why doesn't the girl care about what sweet words she said to Sun Yongning, even if a small sedan chair left with Zhang Bin.
Sun Yongning found a tavern and drank sullen wine there. was drinking and smoking, a little girl looked out the window, stretched out his finger and said, "That little girl is as straight as a fairy, and she looks so good." ”
Sun Yongning turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a girl getting off the carriage, wearing a dress that she had never seen before, and her figure was exquisitely outlined, with her small face, big eyes, white skin, and the vitality of twisting her waist when she got out of the carriage, which made Sun Yongning's eyes straight.
Sure enough, people are more angry than people. When the girl was compared with others, she was compared to others.
Sun Yongning pushed the table, got up and walked out, and a few minions staggered to follow.
Sun Yongning walked out of the tavern drunk, and the two guards of the Security Department noticed. When he saw Sun Yongning walking crookedly with someone to this side, he hurriedly stopped Xu Meilan, and the two turned back to board the carriage, and Sun Yongning and the others took 3 minions to the carriage.
"Don't panic this girl, and accompany my son to drink Gu wine, you are indispensable!" Sun Yongning was drunk, and regardless of it, he was going to lift the curtain.
The two guards hurriedly stopped, "This son, please respect yourself!" ”
The guard had an accent, so Sun Yongning squinted, "Where are you hillbillies from?" He looked at the carriage again, and there were big characters written on the carriage, "Xuanzhou Commerce?" Haven't heard of it! Sun Yongning instructed the minions: "Blow away these two vicious dogs that are in the way!" ”
A few minions rolled up their sleeves and rushed up.
"We belong to the Jiangguo Mansion!" One of the guards hurriedly shouted.
