Liaoyang, Dongning

In the best private room in Yichun Court, three well-dressed and respectable men were drinking wine...

·

Although it was a banquet for three people, the table was very rich with fish and meat. After three rounds of wine and five kinds of food, a five-foot-tall and slightly drunk man in the dinner party looked excitedly at the Chinese-character face in front of him.

The middle-aged man toasted:

"Brother Peng! I dedicate this glass of wine to you! If it weren't for your support, I would still be working so hard running errands. How could I live in a two-room house in Dongning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man drank the whole bowl of wine. After drinking, the strong man became even more excited. He hugged the arm of Brother Peng and said loudly:

"Brother Peng! My life, Liu Zheng's, will be yours from now on. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it! If I dare to have second thoughts, I will be struck to death with five thunderbolts from heaven without a burial place!"

Listening to Liu Zheng's swearing, Brother Peng nodded with satisfaction, patted Liu Zheng's arm and said confidently:

"My silly brother, where have we come from? Our good days are still to come!"

"If you buy a yard in Dongning, you will be like this. Then if you buy a yard in Yijing, will you be happy to death?"

In response to Brother Peng's question, Liu Zheng looked stunned. He was born in a remote mountain village in Liaoyang. In his eyes, Dongning, the first minister of Liaoyang, is already a very big city. If he can buy a house here, he is already an ancestor.

Blessed!

And Yijing is now the capital of the Fengwu Army. If you can buy a courtyard somewhere, wouldn't it be like the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves...

····

The other person in the private room was a scribe dressed as a master. He looked at Liu Zheng's silly and longing look and laughed and said:

"Brother Liu Zheng can have sex with Brother Peng, which was a blessing to us in our previous life!"

"You don't want to think about what my master's status is? That is to say, our Marshal Ye did not claim to be the emperor. If our Marshal Ye now wears a yellow robe and becomes the emperor, then the master is a serious royal family! Maybe he can be regarded as a prince! That's it!

What does it mean to buy a house in Yijing with this status?"

As soon as these words came out, Brother Peng in the private room couldn't help but reveal a smile as he listened to what his master said. It was obvious that his master's words had touched his heart!

And Liu Zheng also said very flatteringly:

"That's right! That's right! With Brother Peng's ability, it's more than enough to be a prince!"

Although Brother Peng was very happy to hear this, he still pretended to be angry and said:

"Brother is a loyal man of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Qing Emperor is attacking the traitor Shangguan Hongyuan! Don't talk nonsense, be careful of misfortune coming from your mouth! I won't be able to save you by then!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zheng thought that Brother Peng was really angry and immediately shut up, while the middle-aged scribe dressed as a master continued:

"Of course Marshal Ye is a loyal minister of Zhou Dynasty and the pillar of the country! This is obvious to all the world!"

"However, the little emperor has been in power for more than ten years, and has made the world a mess. Now that the Zhou Dynasty is declining, the princes are divided, and the country is falling apart. If he wants to save face, he should issue an imperial edict and abdicate in favor of others! In troubled times, it should be done

The virtuous live there····························"

"No matter whether the heroes of the world, Shangguan, the traitors, are old and fatuous, or Xu Zhaojie of Huainan is cruel and unkind, they are all unwise masters! Today, we are the only ones in the world who serve in the armed forces, Marshal Ye, who can recreate a prosperous world with his literary skills, who can conquer all directions with his martial arts, and who is proficient in both civil and martial arts! According to

I think Marshal Ye is the best hero in the world!"

Listening to Master's words, Brother Peng's breathing became a little rapid. After a while, he also said with emotion:

"Master Jiang, what you said is so obvious! I hope the little emperor can have some self-awareness!"

After sighing with emotion, Brother Peng also remembered the business, and immediately looked at Liu Zheng and asked:

"Have you got all the goods?"

When Brother Peng asked about this, Liu Zheng nodded seriously and said:

"We have already obtained them all, and they are now hiding in Chenjiatun outside the city!"

"Is Chenjiatun safe?"

Liu Zheng heard this and immediately introduced:

"Brother Peng, please rest assured. Chenjiatun is Chen Houhou's hometown, and his father is the patriarch. He is absolutely safe! We built a large warehouse there to ensure that it is protected from wind and rain, and the things are kept very well!"

After getting this answer, Brother Peng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Master Jiang aside and said:

"Master, you go to Lao Wang's concubine tomorrow to get the batch note. I have already agreed with him. When you go, take the ten small yellow croakers in the warehouse with you. That is his last share!"

Master Jiang nodded and said:

"I understand, sir!"

After everything was arranged, Brother Peng called the madam over. After a while, a group of warblers entered the private room. The three of them immediately hugged each other, immersed in the tender pink countryside!

Yi Jing, Governor's Mansion

In the early morning, Ye Mingsheng, who had had breakfast with Mr. Ye Cui, came to the study and prepared to start the day's work. Ye Cheng also brought a pile of memorials over and introduced today's schedule to Ye Mingsheng.

"Sir, the first one is from Chief Envoy Murong. It is about the savings situation of Rishengchang, the Hebei and Yu bank accounts in the past two months. The second one is from Commander Lin about the Yunbin Front.

A report on the enemy’s combat readiness, and the third copy is sent by General He!”

"The fourth is a summary of some information about the palace and capital sent by the Coordination Office, and the fifth is a letter from the clan regarding the construction of the Ye Family Ancestral Hall!"

"In addition, in the afternoon, the new iron factory built by the First Manufacturing Bureau on Taiping Street has been completed and has been put into production. You have said before that you want to inspect this factory, so we have arranged it for you this afternoon!

"

Ye Mingsheng nodded helplessly when he heard this. He was a little tired in the afternoon yesterday. During his lunch break, he asked a maid to press his hands. Who would have thought that this maid's skills were very good, with those weak and boneless hands,

With a gentle press on his head, he fell asleep comfortably. Ye Mingsheng slept until the second watch.

Therefore, yesterday afternoon's government affairs were left, so the debt owed yesterday had to be paid today. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng opened the memorial and prepared to officially start working. Seeing this, Ye Cheng was also ready to leave the room.

Give Ye Mingsheng a quiet environment····························

Just when Ye Cheng was about to walk out of the study, Ye Mingsheng seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked:

"Calculating the days and money, they should arrive in Yijing, right?"

When Ye Mingsheng asked about this, Ye Cheng immediately turned around and said without thinking:

"Sir, Qian Buli and the others arrived in Yi Jing in three days. During this time, Yi Jing's schedule was full, so I scheduled their meeting date seven days later. Do you think we should advance it for them?"

Ye Mingsheng shook his head and said:

"No! I'm not in a hurry to see them. It's good to wait until seven days later. In these few days, I can keep my money with them and visit the farmlands, factories, and markets!"

Ye Cheng was very surprised by Ye Mingsheng's instructions. After hesitating for a moment, he introduced to Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, the Coordination Office said that if you keep money, there may be spies from the Supervision Department..."

Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:

"It is normal for Qian Buli to have spies from the Supervision Department around him. This is in line with the usual behavior of the Supervision Department. It is abnormal for him not to have spies around him!"

"But this is good, let them see the strength of our Fengwu Army! Of course, the Coordination Office will also keep an eye on them!"

Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Ye Cheng nodded and responded without any questions:

"Understood, sir, I will make arrangements right now!"

Seeing Ye Cheng walk out of the study, Ye Mingsheng turned his attention back to the notebook on the table. Ye Cheng had been with him for a long time, and he understood what he valued, so he also put this article about

Prioritize the matters related to the Jiyu ticket number to yourself.

Looking at the text written by Murong Yuliang to himself, a faint smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face.

According to Murong Yuliang, after Rishengchang, the bank account opened by Wang Jiang, opened for business, the gentry and common people in Hebei Province did not trust this newly opened bank account at first. However, it gradually gained popularity among the government and some large business houses.

After endorsing their support, these gentry and common people also began to deposit their money into Rishengchang banknotes...

At present, the annual interest rate of Rishengchang Bank is half a percent for demand deposits, one and a half percent for three-year time deposits, and two percent for five-year time deposits.

Because in the past, when money was deposited into bank accounts and banks, not only did they not get interest but they were also charged handling fees. Therefore, after the crisis of trust was resolved at Rishengchang Bank, the gentry and common people in Hebei Province also started to pay attention to the bank's savings business.

I am very interested. It has been two months since the business was launched and I have already saved 150,000 taels of silver.

Not only that, according to Murong Yuliang's report, the savings business of Rishengchang Bank is still growing, and it is expected that Rishengchang Bank will absorb at least 500,000 taels of silver in savings by the end of the year.

Of the 150,000 taels of silver currently in place, 100,000 taels of silver will be loaned to farmers in Hebei Province according to the plan to purchase agricultural tools, fertilizers, livestock and other things for the farmers. The remaining 50,000 taels of silver will be used as reserve funds.

As for the savings received next, they will be used for agricultural and commercial loans at a ratio of 73%.

After getting rich, Murong Yuliang finally stopped being a clever woman who couldn't make a living without rice, and began to radically deepen reforms, allowing the Fengwu Army to penetrate into all aspects of Hebei and Henan.

Ye Mingsheng is naturally very satisfied with this. He can now imagine that in the foreseeable future, Jiyu, a populous and agricultural province, will become a pure land where one can live and work in peace and contentment, providing a steady stream of soldiers and horses for the Fengwu Army.

Food...

Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but couldn't help but picture Wang Jiang's charming face when he thought of this. He knew that Rishengchang Company could develop so well. Although it had the help of the government, Jiang Yuyan and the Wang family also contributed a lot.

of!

Well! He needs to reward Jiang Yuyan!

Originally, Ye Mingsheng planned to talk about life and ideals with this little widow last time in Yujing, but at that time he was so busy with chores that he no longer had the interest. After returning to Yijing, Ye Mingsheng would think of this little widow Jiang Yuyan from time to time.
To be continued...
