Chapter 175 Changes (2)

[There are more than a thousand words in the next chapter. I will post it tomorrow morning. I will catch a cold when I come back and I am forbidden to stay up late.]

"Duke Feng, is Taiwei Wang gone?"

Feng Congyi nodded to the member who was questioning. He couldn't remember who this person was, but he looked familiar, "Just just sent him away."

"Hei Shou, is Taiwei Wang leaving?"

Feng Congyi nodded again: "I just went to the station to see him off."

From Feng Congyi entering the door to the main hall where he arrived, there were hundreds of people who asked about Wang Zhongzheng.

After all, he was the Da Diao Yan who retired from the capital and held military power for many years. As we all know, he was an ally of Han Gang in the palace, with a very high status, outstanding contributions, and a decisive contribution. If he were not a eunuch, the Shufu would be no problem. Now he is in Jingzhao Mansion to retire, and naturally he has attracted the attention of the world.

A few days ago, Feng Congyi led a group of chamber leaders to hold a banquet to entertain Wang Zhongzheng. Many members were not qualified to attend the banquet, but they were also concerned.

But it's just about caring.

The members who truly understand the inside story of King Zhongzheng coming from the west are still in the main hall. Members who are truly qualified to discuss this matter with Feng Congyi will also be in the main hall.

Feng Congyi walked into the main hall, and the huge round table was in the center of the hall. He glanced around his eyes and almost everyone was sitting on every seat next to the round table.

There are Jin family that has never left since its establishment, and Zhong family that only came in seven or eight years ago, but they are representatives of more than 10,000 chambers of commerce members and decision makers of the chamber of commerce.

When they saw Feng Congyi coming in, they stood up and said hello.

Feng Congyi bowed his hand and walked all the way to his seat farthest from the door at the round table.

The main hall of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce is located in Jingzhao Mansion. Compared with the financial resources and power of the Chamber of Commerce, the guild hall built twenty years ago can no longer keep up with the development of the Chamber of Commerce, which seems too cramped. However, the members of the Chamber of Commerce have no intention of expanding the main hall.

The businessmen group has been the target of suppression for more than a thousand years and has always adhered to the idea of ​​making money in silence. Even though the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce is huge and there are many noble people among them, most of the senior members still keep a low profile.

It is not the conference period now, but most of the directors have rushed back to Jingzhao Prefecture from all over the country.

"The Prince Wang has left?"

When Feng Congyi sat down, the vice-chairman next to him looked over and asked the same question.

"I just saw it off and said that I would go around while I still have the strength to walk around Guanzhong, Ningxia, Longyou, Ganliang." Feng Congyi nodded, answered calmly, and said a few more words.

The vice-chairman praised, "This old man really has leisure and leisure."

Feng Congyi said: "After a few decades of hardship, it's not too much to go out for a walk when I'm old."

The vice-chairman shook his head straight, and the expression on his face was like a beggar who had been hungry for three days. He saw a rich man with a table full of vegetables in front of him but was shouting that he had nowhere to put chopsticks.

"The governors of the two towns still complain, how many people in the world who are not suffering?!"

"It's still bitter." Sitting on the left hand of the vice-chairman, another vice-chairman, the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce, there are 17 vice-chairman, three honorary ones, and this one ranks third in the vice-chairman - he showed a mysterious smile, "Think about what the governors of these two towns have exchanged for."

"Change?" The first vice-chair was stunned at first.

The third vice-chairman asked with a smile: "Isn't it hard?"

The first vice-chairman smiled bitterly and nodded, "It's bitter, it's bitter."

The third vice-president nodded when he saw him for the first time, smiled proudly, and wanted to say something else, but when Feng Congyi tapped the table lightly, he immediately put away his smile and became serious.

"Save some politeness, he is from our side." Feng Congyi sighed and shook his head secretly.

No matter how much he did, he was always difficult to get real respect for his identity as a eunuch. Even Feng Congyi felt a little awkward when he was in contact with Wang Zhongzheng. I really don’t know how his brother could convince Wang Zhongzheng.

Wang Zhong listened to Han Gang's words in Beijing. After retiring from Beijing, he still listened to Han Gang's advice and prepared to take a walk in Shaanxi and see more. He couldn't stay there at all. After a few days of rest in Jingzhao Prefecture, he said that he would take a closer look at the customs and customs of Guanxi while he could still walk around.

According to him, he planned to travel not only in Guanzhong, but also in Longyou, but it will take a few months.

Wang Zhongzheng planned a tourist route himself. After leaving Chang'an Jingzhao Prefecture, he would go to Yanzhou first, from the road in Luowu City that year, to the Yinxia Land, and then to Xingling. There is a railway from Xingling to Lanzhou, which is on the north bank of the Yellow River. It has just been built, and the General Railway Administration is preparing to design and build a railway bridge across the Yellow River in Lanzhou so that the road can directly connect to another line next to Lanzhou City - but this will take many years.

After arriving in Lanzhou, if his physical condition permits, Wang Zhongzheng would walk back to the Hexi Corridor to see his old friend. Feng Congyi heard from him that it was "the scenery outside Yumen Pass was only read in poetry and books, but he never met him." Wang Zhongzheng also walked through Ganliang Road in that year, but when he arrived in Suzhou, he turned around and did not continue to go west to Guazhou or Shazhou, and of course he had not visited the ancient Yumen Pass.

When he returns from Ganliang Road, he will take the Qingtang Line from Lanzhou and return to Guanzhong through Longxi.

This trip will take two months to walk through the whole trip. If you walk slowly, you have to stop and rest for a winter on the road. When you return to Jingzhao Mansion, it may be next summer.

Feng Congyi was very worried about this. Not to mention an elderly person like Wang Zhongzheng, ordinary people would be overwhelmed by the journey for two months.

But Wang Zhongzheng insisted on going, and Feng Congyi could only follow his decision. He sent people to send a message from the Pegasus, notifying all the prefectures and counties that Wang Zhong was about to pass through, so that they could prepare for life.

When Feng Congyi thought that Wang Zhong was about to walk thousands of miles in one breath, he wanted to sigh. It would be great to have a good time to recuperate in Jingzhao Mansion. Even if he had to walk around, there was no need to go so far.

"I heard that I will give a farm outside Ziwu Town the first to Wang Taiwei." Another questioned.

Wang Zhong had a house in Jingzhao Prefecture, which was given by the Empress Dowager when he left the capital. Feng Congyi sent him a farm near Zhongnan Mountain.

The farm is quite famous in Jingzhao Mansion, with mountains and rivers and great scenery. There are more than ten hectares of land, dense ditches, and water wheels and windmills. The annual production is by no means a small number, and it is one of the best industries of the Han family in Jingzhao Mansion. But Feng Congyi sent it out casually.

To be honest, this is not a small deal, but senior members of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce can be used. However, merchants are not qualified businessmen who pay the benefits to the outside world and get them back without profits. But now few people can figure out what Feng Congyi is so generous and is planning to get them back.

And Feng Congyi just wanted to satisfy his brother.

The letters were communicated every two or three days. Feng Congyi knew his brother's attitude towards Wang Zhongzheng very well, but he only rewarded the rewards. A farm was too simple.

When the last person walked into the hall, forty-seven people filled all the seats at the round table, Feng Congyi immediately started today's meeting.

"I believe everyone here still remembers the promise that my brother made back then." Everyone here knew the theme of the meeting, and one-third of them were informed by Feng Congyi in advance to ensure that the meeting could be reached as expected. Therefore, Feng Congyi did not give much greetings. After a few gossips, he went straight to the topic. "However, many people think that my brother will try to stay in the court in the end. So I said directly that my brother never breaks his promise and does not intend to stay in the court with other means. He does not intend to fool the world, so his brother will resign from his position before the Grand Parliament session next year."

The conference hall immediately became boiling. Feng Congyi's words were like a piece of iron that was burnt red and directly threw it into the water tank, which instantly exploded the worries and doubts in everyone's hearts.

"But...if you know what your brother is, you should"

For a long time, Han Gang's resignation seems to be joking. At Han Gang's age, wouldn't he do the prime minister for thirty or fifty years? But who would have thought that Han Gang always kept this matter in his heart, and he took the initiative to ask for his departure without anyone urging him.

This cannot not cause panic among the attendees.

Han Gang is the largest and hardest backstage of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce. Without his far-sighted guidance, without his reputation as a gathering of wealthy families to join the Chamber of Commerce, without his care in all aspects of the officialdom, the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce would definitely not have developed to this day. Conversely, the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce has done all the best to give Han Gang and his factions, which allows Han Gang to maintain the net under his command.

Once Han Gang resigned and was assigned to work in other places, Zhang Dun was the one who decided in the capital. At that time, not only the capital, but also all walks of life outside the capital would obey Zhang Dun's instructions, and even Guanxi, which is the private area of ​​Han Gang, could not resist the prime minister's orders.

Therefore, Feng Congyi saw dissatisfaction and even anger on the faces of these senior members and chamber of commerce directors. Han Gang's remarks can even be said to be a betrayal of them.

"What are my husband planning to do after he retires?"

"Will you stay in the capital?"

"Are you going back to Kansai?"

After asking all the words, Feng Congyi almost drowned.

"Cover these unspeakable questions." A vice-chairman came up to dismiss all the previous questions. He asked firmly, "What are your husbands planning to do now?"

When asked, all the noise disappeared. What Han Gang planned to do? This is one of the questions everyone wants to ask.

And another question, "What should the Chamber of Commerce do if my resignation?"

After Han Gang resigned, there were many people who bet on Zhang Dun. Even the hard-core anti-Tutang faction would follow Zhang Dun. As long as they could instigate Zhang Dun to attack Guanxi, Han Gang could only fight back. The two turned against each other and the old party's room to stand out was finally coming.

Even without the old party, the result of Hangang's series can be imagined. This is a worrying thing.
