"What do you want me to write to you?" Wang Tiqian then asked Wei Bao.

Wei Bao didn't know, and smiled silly: "Father-in-law can write anything at will, the most important thing is to indicate that it was given to me by the princess, and the names of the prince and me must be written." ”

"You look like someone who has gone to school, have you ever done any poetry? I'll give you a fan. Wang Tiqian thought about Wei Bao. The fan is a must-have for readers, and at a critical time, open the fan that he gave to Wei Bao, and no one will dare to embarrass him on the official face, even if there are Donglin people who don't know whether they are alive or dead and dare to bully themselves, they have to cast a mouse bogey.

Poetry? Or do I want to make my own poems? Where do you have these two brushes?

However, Wei Bao instead thought of the benefits of this matter, and realized Wang Tiqian's intention to help him.

This is indeed an opportunity to make a name for yourself, and your business has the support of Ouchi, which is a relational matter, and you have to show your knowledge to the world.

After all, the Ming Dynasty valued learning in this era, and Confucian merchants were much more popular than businessmen who started barefoot, and it also provided an opportunity for them to walk on the road of the imperial examination in the future. When the time comes, laughing at yourself is laughing at the prince.

As far as Wei Bao's understanding of the original history is concerned, Wei Zhongxian's forces can be awesome for at least four years! In the past four years, how can I get my fame first and enter the officialdom? If even the princes and princes of Wang Tiqian appreciate their poems, the examiners at all levels of the imperial examination, you should be able to weigh the weight, right?

"There's really a clumsy song, I'll write it down for the prince to read first." Wei Baohui's complete poems are very few, most of them are memorized in primary schools and preliminary exams, most of them are poems of the Tang and Song dynasties, and now it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the poems and texts before the Ming Dynasty must not be taken out casually.

And Wei Bao doesn't particularly like literature, so he usually reads funny, even if he occasionally reads some poems, he won't memorize them.

Gong Zizhen's 'I advise Tiangong to be vigorous and eclectic to reduce talents'? Gong Zizhen's poem is the first thing Wei Bao thought of and is most familiar with.

No, no, this can't be positioned as an anti-poem, right? What do you mean, saying that the emperor and the court are not vigorous enough now? Are today's talents rigid and incompetent?

Taizu's 'Northern Scenery, Thousands of Miles of Snow Drifting, Thousands of Miles of ......'

No, no, no, fools know no, looking for death? Wei Bao scared himself out of sweat first.

The other is a two-line poem by Li Hongzhang, a controversial and powerful figure that Wei Bao appreciates and is more familiar with.

Li Hongzhang was a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, one of the main leaders of the Westernization Movement, the founder and commander of the Huai Army and the Beiyang Naval Division, and the leader of the Westernization Movement, who established China's first Western-style naval Beiyang Naval Division. The official is the third division of the East Palace, the scholar of Wenhua Palace, the minister of Beiyang Commerce, the governor of Zhili, and the title of Su Yibo of the first class. During his lifetime, he participated in a series of major historical events, including the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion, the suppression of the Twist Army Uprising, the Westernization Movement, the First Sino-Japanese War, etc., and signed a series of unequal treaties on behalf of the Qing government, such as the Treaty of Vietnam, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Sino-French Concise Treaty, and the Xinchou Treaty.

Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi regarded him as "the only person in the Qing Empire who had the ability to compete with the world powers", and the Empress Dowager Cixi regarded him as "the person who recreated Xuanhuang".

Li Hongzhang tried his best to safeguard China's interests and strive for strength, but he could not change the reality of China's backwardness. He argued for the signing of unequal treaties, but the country was weak and had to accept humiliating demands.

He, Zeng Guofan and others led the Westernization Movement, which was a manifestation of his progress. He also has a record of defending China diplomatically, such as going to negotiate alone after the Eight-Nation Coalition captured Beijing, and finally settled the incident without ceding land; When the First Sino-Japanese War was in an unfavorable situation, he took the initiative to reach a settlement at the lowest cost, which was a favorable aspect of his defense of the country.

However, later generations also criticized Li Hongzhang for the wrong decision he made. For example, they are willing to sacrifice the whole of Xinjiang and give up Xinjiang defense because they avoid war too much and attach importance to coastal defense; In 1885, the Sino-Japanese Tianjin Conference was signed in 1885 after a complete victory over Japan, giving Japan the right to send troops into Korea. Command errors in the Sino-Japanese War with Japan led to the total annihilation of warships at Weihaiwei; After the victory of the Sino-French War, unequal treaties were signed.

Although these unfavorable treaties and practices are subject to various objective conditions, he still bears heavy responsibility for the misconduct of these incidents.

In addition, in the early days of the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion, he killed too many people.

This also involves the overall evaluation of the Hunan army and the Huai army.

The Westernization Movement and his series of measures did not change China's continued decline, and his contribution was not significant.

Wei Bao, unlike most people, admired Li Hongzhang and considered him a great man produced by China in the turbulent era decades before the fall of the Qing government, and an epoch-making figure who cut between ancient and modern times.

Let's take Li Hongzhang's poems!

Wei Bao made up his mind, and as he spoke, he asked his subordinates to bring fans and rice paper over and grind the ink.

"Entering Beijing"

The husband only holds the Wu hook in his hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred-foot building;

Who has written history for 10,000 years, and wants to be a marquis 3,000 miles away.

There are a total of eight sentences in this poem, but Wei Bao only remembered two sentences, so he wrote it down, regardless of whether it was compared or not, whether it was neat or not, it was because the poem was catchy, and there was a sense of pride and ambition and domineering between the lines, so that Wei Bao read it once and remembered it, but he only remembered the first two sentences.

This poem expresses the author's ambition to participate in state affairs, believing that history is written by princes and generals, and he should be a person like princes.

In Wei Bao's view, obsessed with fame and fortune, this should be the thing that feudal rulers like to see the most, and they are happy to see that everyone in the world has this kind of thought, and they should not commit any taboos, so they wrote it.

Wei Bao's one-stroke character can win a regional calligraphy competition award at the level of middle school students in modern times, but when it comes to Daming, it is barely at the level of a child.

Wang Tiqian stood beside Wei Bao and watched Wei Bao write, because the door of the hall was open, so a group of officials outside who were drinking and talking quietly could also see Wei Bao writing here, and a group of people stood up and looked at it curiously.

"Not bad, not bad, good poems, good words." Although Wang Tiqian doesn't have much ink, in the end, he is the first pen of the celebrant supervisor, and he usually has to fight with a group of ministers on paper, but he still has a few points of practice, and he appreciates the words Wei Bao very much. There is a premise for this appreciation, because Wang Tiqian has made Wei Bao's life experience very clear, knowing that Wei Bao was born in a peasant family, has no backers at all, and has never even entered school.

Wei Bao's life experience is the same as that of 99% of the poor people in the world, so as long as he is a child of a poor family, no matter how he rises, he will have a good impression of Wei Bao after knowing Wei Bao's life experience, and have a feeling of pity, especially the eunuchs, all of the eunuchs entered the palace because they were poor and couldn't eat, otherwise who would want to let their children be cut off from their grandchildren?

Wei Bao's route to Beijing this time is particularly accurate, and his life experience is very stable, although the people he comes into contact with are all upper-class, but they are the most hard-working people who have risen to the upper-class society. When they look at the young Wei Bao, it is easy to see their original shadow from Wei Bao.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Wei Bao saw Wang Tiqian's praise, he liked it in his heart, knowing that there was no problem with this poem, he didn't dare to go to ancient times to do anything to copy the public, what era is this? If you say the wrong thing, it is easy to get into big trouble, not to mention that if you make a mistake, your life will be difficult to protect, and if you can use less pen, you will never show it in front of outsiders. Literary pretense is too risky.

When a group of officials saw Wang Tiqian praising Wei Bao, they echoed it one by one, praising good poems and good poems! Good words, good words!

Wei Bao smiled and bowed, thanking the adults for their praise.

While speaking, Wang Tiqian wrote Wei Bao's poem inscription on the fan, and the payment was given to Wei Bao Yunyun by Wang Tiqian, the celebrant supervisor, and indicated the current time, the 13th day of the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse.

Although eunuchs can't make friends with foreign ministers at will, Wei Bao is not an official at this time, a small common man, which can be regarded as a way of communication between scholars, and it is not taboo.

It is also common for eunuchs and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty to exchange poems and texts, let alone with a small common man.

Everyone praised each other again, this time working harder, praising the prince's good handwriting, what vigorous and upright, cold wind and arrogant, flattering words such as being like a dragon, overwhelmingly attacked.

Wei Bao's goosebumps rose when he heard it, and then he realized what it means to be a sycophant, compared with others, he can fight shamelessly, and the others really can't catch up, everyone is at the national team level, at least at the national team substitute level, and he is also at the level of a township.

Jin Yiwei commanded Tongzhi Tian Ergeng to have a pair of antique fans that he had just bought, or blank, the roots and bones of the fans were made of gold, extremely delicate and luxurious, and when he remembered at this time, he immediately took it out: "The prince is such a masterpiece of calligraphy that covers the world, and it is a pity to use such an ordinary fan to inscribe, and the lower official presents a good fan." ”

Tian Ergeng is the grandson of Tian Le, the former secretary of the military department, a son of an authentic family, although he is an official in the military, he has a bit of a sour taste of literati, otherwise there are few military attachés who carry such things as fans. It's a pity that this guy is sour, but he doesn't have much ink, otherwise with his life experience, the most suitable thing should be to mix with the Donglin people on the same road, rather than embarking on the road of eunuchs.

When everyone looked at the fan, they knew that it was very precious, the gold-faced fan! Immediately amazed and amazed. But in my heart, I secretly scolded Tian Ergeng's sycophant in time! Being able to meet Wang Tiqian and the princess, this is already an extremely rare opportunity, and there is still a chance to make a sycophant, how can this not make people angry?

But what level of people are all present? Quan praised with joy and said that he should be inscribed on this fan, so as to be worthy of the identity of the prince, and there was no jealousy at all.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, "Thank you, Lord Tian, how much silver is this fan?" I had the courage to buy it from adults. ”

"No, no, Wei Gongzi is out of sight, isn't it? What an honor it is to be able to serve the prince and the prince? Don't talk about money. Tian Ergeng smiled and waved his hand again and again, as if he was very familiar with Wei Bao. He spent more than 200 taels of silver on this fan, which still relied on his power, or happened to get it, otherwise in a normal year, normal people go to the antique store to buy, at least three or four thousand taels of silver to buy, and it has to happen to do, antiques are hard to find after all.

Wang Tiqian is a person who knows the goods, took the fan and looked at it, and said to Wei Bao: "Looking at the handiwork and fineness, I am afraid that it is an object in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, which is extremely rare!" Since it is a good intention of Lord Tian, I will write another pair, this fan, you give Lord Tian 3,000 taels of silver. ”

Wei Bao hurriedly bowed down and agreed, asking people to take the silver, and said in his heart that it was good, but such an expensive fan, if Lao Tzu carried it with him, wouldn't all the willows in the world want it with red eyes? It's not a good thing that this pretending item is too expensive, and the risk increases dramatically.

Tian Ergeng said no, but it was just polite, he could earn more than ten times the amount of silver when he changed hands, he was extremely happy, and he was polite to Wei Bao, seeing that Wang Tiqian seemed to have a good eye for Wei Bao, and he didn't dare to slack off, and finally Tian Ergeng and Wei Bao politely pushed for a long time, Tian Ergeng still refused to ask for silver, but Wei Bao insisted on giving it.

"Lord Tian, the prince has spoken, why are you so good to excuse yourself?" Wei Bao Road.

"Then I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later, don't worry." Tian Ergeng said with a smile, and patted Wei Bao on the shoulder as he spoke, a forty-year-old person seems to be a buddy with Wei Bao.

This couldn't help but make Wei Bao's impression of Tian Ergeng a little deeper, he had heard of Tian Ergeng's name, and knew that it was Wei Zhongxian's powerful minions behind! Today, seeing that Tian Ergeng is also so powerful, I am even more careful.

Wei Bao suddenly found a thing, it seems that the more powerful the person, the more friendly and easy-going it feels, all of them are like natural buddies, as if they were destined for fate in their previous lives.

Wang Tiqian finished writing on the gold-faced fan again, he had just written it once, this time it was a little better than just now, he was extremely satisfied, he was angry, he still looked at it from a distance in his hand, and then handed it to Wei Bao: "Are you happy now?" ”

"Thank you, Princess!" Wei Bao hurriedly held the gold-faced fan with both hands respectfully, and when he saw Wang Tiqian's kind attitude towards him, he couldn't help sweating, and secretly wondered if you said okay, don't let outsiders see our relationship? People are emotional animals in the end, and the eunuchs are also very emotional.

Wang Tiqian nodded, didn't say anything more, and went with a group of entourage, Wei Bao and the officials hurriedly sent each other together, and sent them straight out of Shiwangfu Street, or Wang Tiqian asked everyone to go back first, otherwise a group of people would like to send Wang Tiqian and the prince directly into the noon gate and into the palace to be comfortable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must drink well and be happy with me today." Wei Bao saw that Wang Tiqian was gone, and greeted a group of officials enthusiastically.

Everyone saw that Wang Tiqian's attitude towards Wei Bao was so close, where did they dare to underestimate Wei Bao, one by one, they all agreed, and they all gathered around to talk to Wei Bao, Wei Bao smiled and said a word to this, said a word to that, full of energy, I feel that this kind of life of eating, drinking and having fun is still quite suitable for me.

"Lord Tian, three thousand taels of silver, you have to accept it no matter what!" Wei Bao has not forgotten this stubble, he can't take advantage of other people's officials, people don't talk about it, and they don't know how murderous they are in their hearts. casually behind his back, he doesn't know how he died, and he knows that this person will become Wei Zhongxian's number one minion in the future, how dare he slack off?

"Brother, is this looking down on the old brother?" Tian Ergeng smiled and said: "Brother, let's fall in love like this, it's like love at first sight, why don't we be brothers?" ”

Wei Bao Khan, behind Wei Bao and Tian Ergeng, Li Chengnei, who also accompanied the officials to see off Wang Tiqian, couldn't help but sweat.

Tian Ergeng wants to bow to himself?

Wei Bao doesn't know whether to rejoice or sigh, he is a person who knows the direction of history, as long as Chongzhen comes to power, it is irreversible, and the fall of Wei Zhongxian is also irreversible.

But he immediately showed a happy expression, "Lord Tian values me so much, this is my creation!" ”

"Yo, Wei Gongzi agreed? Then let's go back to celebrate with wine immediately, we really have to drink a few more glasses today! Tian Ergeng smiled and said to everyone.

All the officials are eunuch party figures, and they secretly say that Tian Ergen is shameless, and he can use such a tie with a big-headed ordinary man who has no official body? Although it can be seen that Wang Tiqian is good to Wei Bao, after all, Wei Bao's name is undecided now, the situation is not clear, and they do not accept Wei Bao too exaggeratedly.

The main thing is because Wei Bao is just a big-headed common man!

Wei Bao complained bitterly in his heart, this is really not easy to do, he just pushed Wei Zhongxian such a big olive branch, I don't know what the consequences will be, I didn't expect to run into Tian Ergeng's little olive branch now? If you don't pick it up, it's hard to end.

However, Wei Bao is Wei Bao in the end, and he thought about it in a blink of an eye: "Lord Tian appreciates it so much, this is really my Wei Bao's creation!" But I have already recognized a big brother, and swore that I will only worship my eldest brother in this life, which ...... Why don't you do that? Tian Daren and my eldest brother Li Chengnei bow to me, my eldest brother is the uncle of the country, and the identities of the two of you also cooperate, in this way, it means that we are all brothers! ”

Wei Bao said and pulled Li Chengnei over, secretly thinking that Tian Ergeng was going to bow to someone if he was sloppy, it seems that in the officialdom of Beijing, looking for someone to worship is as casual as drinking tea and chatting, right? Then this kind of thing must be indispensable in the future, it is better to push Li Chengnei out as a shield, anyway, Li Chengnei is hard enough because of the relationship between Concubine Li and Li Zhuang in the East, even if Chongzhen takes power in the future, he will not do anything to him.

Li Chengnei was confused and was pulled by Wei Bao to Tian Ergeng's side, "This ...... I ...... for a long time, and I couldn't say a complete sentence.

Li Chengnei was originally Tian Ergeng's subordinate, an empty title without power, and was not put in Tian Ergeng's eyes at all, the reason why Tian Ergeng looked up to Wei Bao was that Wang Tiqian had inadvertently shown his attitude towards Wei Bao just now, and on the other hand, he mainly valued Wei Bao at a young age, so he had a good wrist and felt that Wei Bao had the ability!

People make friends, first of all, they value how the other party is, a person who can't support the wall with mud, even if he has a background, people are just thinking about how to use it, not thinking about making friends.

"It seems that I heard Brother Wei mention the matter of Lao Li Xiaoqiguan to the prince just now, it seems that Lao Li will raise the general flag in a few days, or even a hundred households, right? Congratulations in advance. Li Chengnei didn't show his unhappiness, Wei Bao excused himself like this, whether it was true or not, he felt a little neglected, slightly displeased, but he didn't put it on his face at all.

Although Li Chengnei is a relative of the emperor, he is nothing among the emperor's relatives, and in the system of Jinyiwei, it is equal to the most ordinary captain, wrestler, and school order, and it is not even as good, because don't look at the school captain, wrestler, and school order, these are the lowest people, but they are also because they do not have a little official position, but the errand is full, and there is an opportunity to 'share the money', and the life is better than Li Chengnei, who is an official with an empty title of a small flag officer.

This is the same in any era of the unit, the official who stands aside is not as good as the one who works below, so now that Tian Ergeng, a big man second only to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, talks to him, he is more excited than when he enters the palace to see the emperor, "Lord Tian...... I...... This is ...... I don't know. ”

Wei Bao saw that Li Chengnei was so nervous, so he took the words again, secretly thinking that the righteous brother he recognized was too honest and indeed not suitable for being an official. It's a bit too reliable.

After such a period of twists and turns, Tian Ergeng was still very polite to Wei Bao, but he no longer mentioned the matter of worship.

Wei Bao first sent a group of officials back to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce to continue drinking and eating. In the end, he gave three thousand taels of silver to Tian Ergeng, which made Tian Ergeng have a good impression of Wei Bao! Tian Ergeng sincerely doesn't want that silver, although his family background is prominent, it's not that he can't look down on such a large sum of silver as three thousand taels, the main thing is that the gold-faced fan is the heirloom of the family he half bought and half robbed, he only spent two hundred taels of silver, so he is not particularly distressed, in addition, Wei Bao can get Wang Tiqian's courtesy, who knows what kind of relationship Wei Bao is behind as a backer? Naturally, I don't care about such a little bit of silver.

But Wei Bao insisted on giving it, Tian Ergeng had no choice but to accept it, "Brother Wei, when my brother saw you, he hit it off at first sight, you say, are we friends?" ”

"Friends, of course! Lord Tian can treat me as a friend, which gives me a big face. Wei Bao said sincerely.

Tian Ergeng nodded, "If you encounter anything in Beijing in the future, you must come to the elder brother, you dare not say anything big, and if you want to do a small thing, the elder brother will do it for you." ”

"Thank you, Lord Tian, I will toast Lord Tian with another glass of wine!" Wei Bao smiled slightly and said warmly.

Tian Ergeng and Wei Bao drank a full glass of wine, let go of their knots, and the two of them chatted happily.

Wei Bao likes to play with people who are a little cultured, but not very sour and don't like to drag the text, everyone is half a bucket of water, and occasionally talk about it, but it is even happier. If you meet a real well-educated person, who is a group of real old masters, then don't say anything.

After accompanying a group of officials for a while, Wei Bao found an opportunity to leave and went to the Tiandi Building, where a group of merchants were entertained.

He is the master of the house, although he was very unhappy just now, he still wants to come here. This banquet was divided into two sides, Tiandilou entertained people from the business community, and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce Hall entertained people from officialdom.

A group of merchants wished that Wei Bao would not come, they suppressed the Wei family just now, and they were beaten upside down, and now they think of seeing Wei Bao, and it is embarrassing to think about it, but if they can't wait for Wei Bao to come, they don't know what stage this banquet will be at what stage? I didn't dare to leave rashly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, big bosses, it's rude." As soon as Wei Bao entered the Tiandi Tower, he smiled with a spring breeze.

In fact, Wei Bao is not very comfortable in his heart at the moment, and he still remembers that Wang Tiqian went back to Wei Zhongxian to explain the matter, because he doesn't want to get involved with the eunuch party or the Donglin party, so when Wei Bao gets along with people, he can only be cautious, if he became Wei Zhongxian's godson just now, he can rest assured now, and what he has to worry about is only his own situation after Wei Zhongxian's fall a few years later.

As a modern ordinary man, Wei Bao's desire for money is greater than that of power. He looks forward to being powerful and wants to live that kind of majestic life, but if he can be the boss of one side, he is actually very satisfied, for example, he can call the wind and rain in Yongping Mansion, everyone in all aspects gives face, his life is rich and stable, and he has pomp and face in and out, he is already very happy, and he has no illusions about running to Beijing to be majestic, the more majestic, the higher the risk, if you really want to be majestic, rebel and call the emperor the most majestic.

When a group of wealthy businessmen saw Wei Bao coming, they hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and congratulated Wei Bao.

"Congratulations to Wei Gongzi, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the Tiandi Firm have such a big momentum, and Wei Gongzi is so young, the world is vast, and there is a lot to be done." Qiao Guangjin is the leader of the crowd, and he can't see that he is depressed at the moment and very personable.

Wei Bao knew that this group of people was very unhappy now, but seeing everyone's happy expressions, he was still very impressed, it was difficult for him to do this, to deal with things flexibly, open-minded, and people who have done business bigger, they are not lost to officialdom at all, but the life paths on both sides are different, relatively speaking, the difficulty of the business route is obviously higher. There is also an ugly **** system that has been passed down from generation to generation, which is not cultivated overnight, but not in business, no matter how huge the family business is, it can also be defeated overnight.

"Thank you Qiao Da Shopkeeper, when I first arrived in Beijing, I wanted to visit the famous Qiao Da Shopkeeper, but it was only today that I got to meet each other." Wei Bao smiled slightly, looking like a polite scholar with a bachelor's degree, and after that, he pretended to open the gold-faced fan with Wang Tiqian's own inscription.

The sharp-eyed people and the wealthy businessmen nearby immediately saw the words on the fan of Wei Baojin's fan, and they were all surprised! Gifted by Wang Tiqian? Also written? What does it matter? What are you doing when you are fighting with such a person, not looking for death?

A group of businessmen were even more enthusiastic about Wei Bao, talking about the scene and flattering words one by one, like a surging river, as if they had been friends with Wei Bao for many years.

Wei Bao is not a person who doesn't know how to accept it, and he seems to have completely forgotten the unhappiness just now, and he never mentioned how these people called their guys to make trouble just now, and he didn't want to know how they settled down later.

Wei Bao is very modest, like a real young man who has just started in the business world, chatting with every shopkeeper who came today, asking everyone to take care of his business in the future, and everyone who has money to make money together, and also took Liu Chunshi and Fan's head to learn from everyone.

"Who suffers the most? We small businessmen. Wei Bao drank with so many people, he was already dizzy, pulled Yang Siqing, and said emotionally with a big tongue: "Business can't be done, someone has a business, and the younger brother will never dare to affect everyone's original business, but after my Tiandi firm is open in the capital, if it can make everyone feel that we are okay and make everyone's business smoother, this is my greatest wish." ”

"Yes, what Wei Gongzi said is right, we have a hard time doing business." Yang Siqing was extremely embarrassed, and in the first two days, his son drove Wei Bao out of their business for the difference of a few hundred taels of silver.

Everyone agreed.

Wei Bao said to a group of wealthy businessmen: "The little brother has drunk too much, there is a place where the greeting is not good, everyone forgive me, I must have fun today, in the future, if there is anything bad in the little brother, please speak out, it must be changed immediately, everyone has a good amount of discussion, and the favor is accessible, don't hurt the peace for some trivial things." ”

Everyone was embarrassed for a while, and they all laughed hard and said yes, and at the same time, no one dared to underestimate Wei Bao is a native of Liaoxi Township, a wild man outside the Guan, just Chong Wei Bao is so young, it is enough to make people look up to it with this measure and the city.

But the vast majority of people don't buy Wei Bao's account, just a superficial scene, especially in the Jin Merchants and Zhili Merchants Gang, the leaders led by the head of the Jin Chamber of Commerce on Shiwangfu Street, Qiao Guangjin, Qiao Dongsheng, Yang Ji Merchant Yang Siqing, and Yang Mingchen are even more unwilling to suddenly emerge a new force to share their business.

These people don't think about how to make the market bigger, they just look at a small piece in front of them, thinking about how to collude with officials and exploit the people.

Wei Bao also knew that a few beautiful words could not make a difference, but he was already quite satisfied, at least from now on, these people admitted that he and his Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the Heaven and Earth Firm had a foothold in Jingshi, and it was even equivalent to admitting that he could gain a foothold in the entire Zhili, and it was no problem for the influence of the Jingshi to radiate the entire Beizhili.

When a group of entourages helped Wei Bao back to the Heaven and Earth Inn, and when Wei Bao was prepared for a special room, Wang Tiqian had already returned to Da Nei and hurried to return to Wei Zhongxian.

When Wei Zhongxian heard that Wei Bao was unwilling to be his godson, he was immediately furious. 8)
