Chapter 18 Yang Shitang

Standing in front of Chongning Fort was Yang Yue's father Yang Shitang. As the second-generation leader of the Yang family, he was responsible for the most important caravan of the Yang family. More than 100 different caravans control different distribution centers in more than 20 cities. The value generated every year is not only millions, but also an important figure in the Yang family, and a very capable and skillful person.

"Welcome to the humble house, I'm not welcomed you!" Yang Shitang bowed and looked at her eyes, and swept around Yang Yuanzhao, as if she wanted to see something from Yang Yuanzhao.

Yang Yuanzhao stood calmly. Before he came, he knew that he would be under such scrutiny. A stranger came to their Yang family and even opened a

The name Yang Yuanzhao has been on his desk several times in the past half month and suddenly appeared in Baotou. It seemed that he had contacted Yang Yue with some purpose. As his only son, he also had high hopes for studying in the United States. He was not very satisfied with his major, but he also returned from his studies. In his opinion, he was an elite of the future family and was still a little immature now, but in time, he would definitely have some achievements.

It is not surprising that Yang Yuanzhao's appearance was not surprising. Yang Shitang laughed it off. The foundation of the big family is to allow children to take detours or even hit a wall. They have this foundation and bring them back again. This is also the useful method for the big family.

But then, some of the situations about Yang Yuanzhao were reported again. Yang Yuanzhao saved 10,000 yuan silver dollars in the Wei family's ticket account, which was not much. At least it was not in the eyes of the Yang family. However, the one who took out 10,000 yuan at one time was not big or small in China, and he was also a figure. A young junior, Yang Yuanzhao, really has such a foundation in their family? I have never heard of the same surname Yang who has such great strength, at least not in Shanxi.

Everything that followed was even more beyond Yang Shitang's expectations. Yang Yuanzhao did not seek benefits. He sold some of the benefits, and conflated the Yang family, Liu family, Wei family, Wu Guangren and Zhao Shuming to establish a so-called Baokening Company.

Baoken Company is no longer a small fuss. Tens of thousands of silver dollars, 210 yuan glut of land, and huge investment can really produce benefits? Moreover, it is a cotton planting that Baotou has never had before. Cotton is a good thing. The caravan controlled by Yang Shitang also has the task of purchasing cotton, which is as high as hundreds of thousands of dan every year. Most of them are supplied to cotton textile factories on the southeast coast. Their demand is huge and the benefits are also good. However, the output of a mu of land is very asymmetric with the employment, especially in the northwest. The harsh environment makes the cotton output much lower than that of the southeast coast.

A series of investigation reports made Yang Shitang suspicious, but no matter what, Yang Yuanzhao could not be called a liar. The investment of 10,000 yuan is also a planting industry. The cooperation is only the land lease, not the transfer of land. At least, Yang Shitang, who is knowledgeable, cannot see any possibility of fraud and loses the opportunity to lead Yang Yue into the right path. Yang Shitang was a little disappointed, but after seeing his son's smile from the bottom of his heart, he changed his mind. Is it better?

Not to mention how many thoughts have changed in Yang Shitang's mind. Yang Yue greeted Yang Shitang. After Yang Shitang nodded slightly, he had already walked to his mother. Zhao Cui'e gently patted the dust on Yang Yue's shoulder and said, "Thank you all the hard way, hurry up and wash it, it's all dirty like a monkey!"

"mom!"

"Okay, it's so old. I'll hold a banquet with your dad to entertain your friends in the evening!"

"Really?" Yang Yue's eyes lit up, and then he called Yang Yuanzhao to leave with him, making Zhao Cui'e smile bitterly.

Under the leadership of a group of servants, we passed through the courtyard that looked the same. To be honest, if no one guided the way, Yang Yuanzhao would definitely go wrong. Almost all of them were carved from the same mold. Walking through the high walls, almost forgot the location. This is the luxury of the big family, not the forbidden area of ​​the deep palace, the huge family, and tens of thousands of people living together. There are so many joys and sorrows, and even the endless dark side under the bright world. Many people's lives may be buried in the courtyard.

When you visit along the way, there is luxury in plainness. From Yang Yuanzhao's perspective in the future, these decorations are not very practical, but luxury is inevitable. They are not inlaid with gold and jade, but are full of antiques everywhere. The wealth of Shanxi merchants can be seen from this that this is Yang Shitang's house, the largest Red Gate Fort, which covers the largest area, may be even more luxurious.

In less than a quarter of an hour, I arrived at a delicate small courtyard and wrote to Yuexiang Courtyard. Yang Yue said, "This is the courtyard where I live. Yang Si, take Young Master Yang to the guest room to wash!"

After three days of dusty days, he finally took a hot bath, changed into loose clothes, and felt a sense of comfort. The erotic scene that Yang Yuanzhao was looking forward to did not appear. The big family did not use beautiful maids to warm the bed. When they walked out of the room and in the living room, Yang Yue sat down early, changed into a suit, and put on a dark blue robe. He seemed much more elegant. If he had braids, he might be an ambitious move.

"Yuan Zhao, this is a small banquet, only my family, so there is no need to be too restricted!"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded and followed Yang Yue out. At this time, it was just the beginning of lights. The Yang family compound shone brightly under the dense lanterns. In the era without electricity, the price of light was huge. The thick red candles reflected the red light in the lanterns. There were also servants taking care of them in the fences on both sides.

Under Yang Yue's leadership, he walked into the side hall. There were several people sitting on an Eight Immortals table. There were not many people in Yang Yue's family. Apart from his parents, there were only two younger brothers and one younger sister. Yang Shitang regarded Yang Yuanzhao as his son and nephew, so he did not choose to separate meals and sat together.

Yang Yue's two younger brothers are very young, one is only 9 years old and the other is only 6 years old. Yang Yue doesn't communicate much with them. Their eyes were unfamiliar when they looked at Yang Yue. Yang Yuanzhao didn't ask much. It was normal for wives and concubines in the late Qing Dynasty. As the legitimate son of a big family and a wealthy person, Yang Shitang could not not take a concubine. Perhaps, these two were concubines who gave birth to children because they didn't have much communication with Zhao Cui'e, and they looked timid when they looked at Zhao Cui'e. However, his sister Yang Qian was close to Yang Yue. As soon as Yang Yue came in, she came to him and asked questions. She was at the age of thirteen or fourteen, extremely lively.

"Brother Yuan Zhao, this is my sister Yang Qian, who is currently studying in the Fuxing Girls' Middle School in Taiyuan!"

Yang Qian stood behind Yang Yue, and looked at Yang Yuanzhao with wide eyes. Fuxing Girls' Middle School is a Western-style college built by American missionaries and local gentry in Shanxi. It is considered a relatively famous school in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

When people sat down, the dishes came up like flowing water. Yang Yuanzhao really enjoyed it. It felt like he was in the Red Mansion. The dishes looked inconspicuous, but the low-key exuded luxury. For example, a simple eggplant, but used more than 10 chickens and ducks, which were simmered slowly over low heat. Of course, the taste was extremely beautiful.

After the meal, no one said anything on the dining table. Yang Yue's younger brothers and sisters also retreated one by one, leaving only Yang Shitang, Yang Yue and Yang Yuanzhao. Yang Shitang glanced at Yang Yuanzhao and said, "Nephew, you and I will chat in the study!"

"As for Uncle Shi's instructions!"

Yang Shitang left first. Yang Yue was about to follow him, but Yang Shitang glanced at him and stopped. He wanted to speak but stopped, but he didn't say a word.

The fragrance of the ink is puffed up. The study of the Yang family is still a traditional decoration, with ancient books everywhere. The clusters of books, with a slight corruption and ink fragrance. Yang Shitang sat down and looked at Yang Yuanzhao who was sitting in front of him. To be honest, Yang Yuanzhao had a special temperament. As the controller of the caravan, he could control so many unruly figures in the caravan. The power naturally brought out was rarely so calmly in front of him. If he was in his thirties or forties, he had rich experience. It was easy to say that Yang Yuanzhao was indeed extraordinary.
