After talking about the banquet for Lu You and Ye Shi, the two of them flipped into this issue of "New News". Mao Geng was already immune to Chen Liang's "Aliz in Wonderland", so he only focused on other articles. But as soon as he saw one of the articles, he frowned and said:

"Brother Tong Fu, before leaving, he specifically told him not to talk about political affairs. You see, he would feel itchy if he didn't talk about political affairs. Now, he has not even occupied Taiwan yet, so he made a statement about expedition to Luzon to destroy the pirates of Luzon. Alas! It's really hard to say about him!"

Wen Yuan could only smile bitterly, but said:

"About Brother Tongfu, what should I do in the future? Will I still let him stay in Xinhua? Or should I go to Taiwan? And what should I do in Xinhua? I'm afraid it's not appropriate to put Xinhua!"

Mao Geng also felt a headache. West China Construction Company could not move to Taiwan too. It would be good to move the headquarters to Lin'an, because Lin'an is the largest market and can spread across the country. But Chen Liang is the most inappropriate person in Lin'an. He is addicted to drinking. Who can prevent Chen Liang from drinking? Who knows what happens to this guy after drinking? I am afraid he will have to wipe his butt at that time.

Mao Geng has thought about this many times and has no good idea for a while, so he can only sigh:

"Brother Tongfu is better off going to Taiwan with me. As for "Xinbao", he would have to move to Taiwan to handle it in the end. However, if you want to move, you can only move to Lin'an. However, Chen Liang will have to stay in Xinhua for at least half a year. The industries in Xinhua cannot be moved to Taiwan in a short time."

Mao Geng asked Wen Yuan’s plan again:

"Are you planning to work in the Great Song Beijing News or continue to follow me?"

Wen Yuan was actually hesitating in his heart, so he said directly:

"I can't make up my mind either. My father had high expectations for me back then. Now, although he is just a Digonglang, he is a little ninth rank, and he has finally entered the official career. Moreover, the "Great Song Beijing News" is the official newspaper of the Song Dynasty after all. It is different from the "New News" that he owns. It is really hard to give up the officialdom of the "Great Song Beijing News".

Wen Yuan then said to himself:

"But I am in the "Great Song Jingbao", with my background, I'm afraid it's hard to make a breakthrough! Besides, the director of the "Great Song Jingbao" is only a sixth rank, and what is the sixth rank official in Lin'an? How can I compare to following Brother Geng, and I can do my best to run the "New News" and make a lot of money in all kinds of business. Alas! But there are also shortcomings, after all, I still lack an official position!"

Mao Geng sneered:

"Look at your virtue! I think you should not go to the "Great Song Jingbao" and do it with me. If you want to be an official, you will have opportunities in the future. It is not impossible to become a sixth-rank product if you do it well."

"Really?" Mao Geng himself was from the eighth rank, but he claimed to have a sixth rank official for Wen Yuan, which is a bit exaggerated.

Mao Geng's expression suddenly became serious. It was obvious that he was a little unhappy with Wen Yuan's suspicion, and said proudly:

"Will my words still be false?"

Wen Yuan couldn't say anything at this moment. It seemed that there were very few false statements about what Mao Geng said, that is, the rumors of gold or silver ore were a bit unreliable, but Mao Geng said in advance that this was a master's speculation. Since it was speculation, it could not be considered a lie. So it would be better not to doubt my cousin's in everything.

Wen Yuan hesitated for a moment before he made a statement:

"Then----Okay! Just listen to Brother Geng!"

"Don't force yourself, think it through before expressing your opinion."

Just as he was talking, the servant came to report that it was Mr. Han Wu and Han who came to visit.

Han Wu is a regular customer here, but he is not alone. He is followed by a young man in his twenties. The young man was dressed very brightly, but at first glance he didn't look like a playboy who was ignorant, but he looked a little shrewd.

As soon as he saw Mao Wen and the others, Han Wu greeted him and said:

"Two brothers, this is Mr. Cai. His ancestors are the famous maritime merchant Cai Jingfang. Today I came to visit Brother Mao and Brother Wen."

When Mao Geng heard that he was a child of a sea merchant, the kind of person he intended to make friends with, he greeted him very politely:

"So it's Mr. Cai, lucky to be! Come on, please sit down! Watch the tea!"

After a brief conversation, I realized that this person's ancestor Cai Jingfang could be called a Quanzhou maritime merchant at the level of a tycoon. During the Jianyan period, Cai Jingfang received a net profit of 980,000 yuan in seven years. This person's magical power of making money is probably comparable to that of time travelers. Cai Jingfang's reputation was because the court awarded him an honorary official position - Chengxinlang. Although Chengxinlang's rank is low, it is a special honor at least. Therefore, Cai Jingfang's name is widely known.

Mao Gengxin said that the Song Dynasty also had rewards for big taxpayers. Well, the taxpayers in later generations usually had the title of a member of the CPPCC, which was probably the same. However, the Song Dynasty attached so much importance to sea trade, which was something he had never thought of before.

Mao Geng thought this person wanted to buy a watch, or intended to ask West China Construction Company to build a luxurious house for him, and thought that this was a big customer.

However, when Han Wu told the purpose of Mr. Cai’s arrival, Mao Geng and Wen Yuan were stunned. It turned out that this young master was a great customer, but the purpose of this trip was not to place an order, but to have something else to ask for.

According to Han Wu, Mr. Cai Jianwen, Mr. Cai bought three watches in one breath, one was sent back to his home in Quanzhou and the other was placed in his home in Lin'an for use. This is of course normal. However, this gentleman actually gave the third watch he bought to Shen Weibing, the leader of Chunxilou, to win his favor, which was unique. Mao Geng was very happy and thought that since the watches he made could be given to his lover, it could naturally be given to officials. Then, it would not be a situation where "no gifts will be accepted during the Spring Festival this year, and only the Mao family watches will be accepted"!

A watch can only cost 388 jin of money, but it is not enough to spend a lot of money, but I believe the courtesan must also like it.

Speaking of which, Shen Xingshou happily accepted Mr. Cai's unique gift and became one of the few people in Lin'an City who could use this high-end item. But he was so excited that he didn't expect that today, the cute Mr. Shen Xingshou made new requests. She heard that a few days ago, the talented man Wenyuan played and sang a song "Yu Meiren" in Jincuilou. It was not very successful at that time, but later this song and another song were passed to the palace. It is said that the officials today love listening very much, so Shen Weibing asked Mr. Cai to come to see Mr. Cai to find Mr. Wenyuan, whose purpose was to let Wenyuan perform in Chunxilou.

Mao Gengxin said, it turned out that they were not here to find him, but to be a talented man Wenyuan to perform on stage! Haha, in this way, Wenyuan was obviously inclined to become a star. As for the two lyrics and music that were passed to Zhao Sheng, it must be a special performance by Zhao Sheng to please Zhao Sheng. Once the official likes him, the superiors will have a preference, and the people in the fun are the most sensitive. They immediately realized that these two lyrics and music might become popular immediately, so they came to invite Wenyuan to perform, which was a good plan!

But Mr. Cai didn't know that since Wen Yuan was hit by Jiang Kui, he no longer had the courage to perform on stage alone. Besides, Wen Yuan thought he had an official position and was no longer suitable to sing in the festival. He never heard of any official in the Song Dynasty who would sing for the guests, right! Besides, he was not short of money.

Therefore, Wen Yuan flatly refused:

"Mr. Cai, I'm sorry! I was also in the next day. I had the idea of ​​discussing with Mr. Jiang Kui and then I came to the stage to show my ugly face. I had many inappropriate points that time, but now I still regret it. I wish I could not show my ugly face again."

But after hearing Wen Yuan's words, Cai Jianwen still refused to give up, but said:

"Mr. Wen means that if Mr. Jiang Kui and Mr. Jiang are willing to perform on the same stage, will he be able to appear on stage again?"

Wen Yuanxin said, boy, why are you so mean? I'm just making an excuse. No, what I'm talking about is the fact, but Jiang Kui was performing at the time, and there was another one that Brother Geng insisted on letting me on stage, so that the day's actions were made. You know, the two songs we prepared were only planned to be performed in the palace, but it was just to deal with the court.

Seeing that Wen Yuan still had no intention of nodding, Mr. Cai was anxious and said:

"I heard from Brother Han that the two brothers were looking for people who raised pigeons to feed the book. In fact, I raised a group of pigeons in my family. My family has always used pigeons to send messages to Quanzhou. Then from Quanzhou to Lin'an, it was very quick to send messages back and forth. If Mr. Wen was willing to help me, I would like to divide a few pigeons to two of them. At the same time, the method of raising pigeons to two of them will be passed on to you, so that you can satisfy you! How?"

Mao Gengxin said, it turns out that there is really a teleport communication in the Song Dynasty. According to Cai, the company should be mainly used to convey commercial information. It can be imagined that if there is any demand in Quanzhou, the business representatives in Lin'an will be informed immediately, and then they can purchase it calmly. When other families use normal communication methods to obtain information, the market may have risen. With the means of fast communication, the Cai family naturally has to take the initiative in business wars. It seems that his family can become a wealthy family, and there are also their business secrets. This guy is willing to trade the trade secret of teleportation, and he can be truly a love-in-law!

Speaking of the pigeon, Wen Yuan had to look at Mao Geng and thought to himself that you can decide this matter.

Mao Geng had no taboos at all. If Wen Yuan wanted to work as a part-time entertainment star while doing business, Mao Geng felt that it was nothing. Now, Mr. Cai’s family is a top-notch businessman in the Song Dynasty, and he could develop into his partner. Moreover, there is the added benefit of the pigeon. Promise Mr. Cai to get considerable added value. Even if he went to the stage to offer a ugly job, it would be worth it. However, Mr. Mao Geng did not intend to agree so happily, so he asked curiously:

"I'll ask you, can your pigeons really spread so far?"

When Cai Jianwen saw that there was a show, he hurriedly argued:

"In fact, since the Tang Dynasty, there have been pigeons passing on the book. According to legend, Zhang Jiuling trained pigeons as pigeons, which was a good talk at that time. Since then, many people have trained pigeons from the army. In this dynasty, General Qu Rui's army had trained pigeons in his army. Zhang Jun inspected his army, and Qu Rui's pigeons gathered in the army. Five armies arrived four times in a flash. This is the benefit of the pigeons passing on the army. Quanzhou sea merchants traveled thousands of miles. After having the pigeons passing on the book, they could report safety in time. If there is anything, they could respond in time. Most of the Persian ships also raised pigeons. After the Song Dynasty, they would put one home and send back the news of peace. Persia is thousands of miles away from our Song Dynasty, which shows how far the pigeons delivered the book are. It is not that I boasted that my pigeons would never lose to the pigeons of the Persians."

Mao Geng got the information he wanted, so he stopped when he saw it was good, and then expressed his opinion:

"If Mr. Cai can find Jiang Kui to come to our mansion, or find another person who is proficient in music, maybe we can offer Chunxilou more than two lyrics, but also many one or two songs, which is also possible, and it is also equally good."

Mao Geng felt that since he wanted to show goodwill to the Cai family, he had to at least show some sincerity and just buy one free. If you search in your mind, you should remember one or two songs of Song lyrics. As long as Jiang Kui is there, it would be a piece of cake to write the song.

If you package a singer, you can’t eat all the songs all over the world, you have to have three or four songs to fill the show. Mao Geng thought so.
