Yi Zhixiang seemed to say it casually, but it was to the point, and he said it very thoroughly, Jin Ling smiled when she heard it, "This can be described as a three-point statement, not an old drama fan can't say this, Brother Guocheng is also a drama fan?" ”

"I never watch a play, and I don't have that much spare work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yi Zhizhi smiled contentmently, what he said was not hypocritical, he really never watched the show, not because he didn't have time, but he didn't like it at all.

"I know that Brother Guocheng is busy with errands......." Jin Ling glanced at him and said, "It's rare to watch a play cleanly, don't disturb our interest." ”

Yi Zhifen didn't want to sit here and watch the play, he glanced at the head of the bow and was silent, and his cheeks were flying, and he smiled: "I'll tell Shuwen something, I won't disturb you here, which restaurant is the wine banquet in?" We'll go later. ”

Jin Ling groaned slightly before saying, "It's in Tongsheng Hall north of Dashilan Road." As she spoke, she took out a pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "Half an hour, is it enough?" ”

Listening to Yi Zhicontent, she had something to tell her, and when she saw it, she turned her hand in front of her eyes, and she reacted, glanced at Jin Ling with a flushed face, and said, "I won't go to the banquet, I'll go back to my sister another day." With that, he quickly got up.

Out of the gate of the theater, Zaitong lowered his head and walked quickly like a thief, and Yi Zhi couldn't help but smile: "Although there are many people on the street, there are few people who know Shuwen, but there are few ......." ”

The women of the banner family are not as strict as the Han women, but Zaitong is the Gege of Baylor Mansion after all, although the relationship between the two has been determined, and they have been together, but at this time, if they are bumped into and the two of them are shopping together, they will inevitably be laughed at, she hurriedly whispered: "There are a lot of children from the clan Jueluo who come to Dashilan Theater, in case someone bumps into it...... Damage to the reputation of Baylor House. ”

Yi Zhizhi said: "Then let's go for a walk in a quieter place." Saying that, he deliberately widened the distance between the two, walked out of Dashilan Street, and turned into a slightly secluded alley, before he hurried forward and said casually: "There don't seem to be any female guests in the theater, but women are not allowed to enter the theater?" ”

"Hmm." Zaitong said softly: "During the time of Emperor Renzong, some ministers said that it was immoral for women to enter the theater, and since then, the theater has not sold women's seats. With that, she slowed down and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

"It's fine." Yi Zhizhi said: "I just asked you to come out for a walk, my time in Beijing will not be too long, so I want to cherish every day in Beijing and accompany you more." ”

Listening to this, Zaitong's heart warmed, she knew that what the other party said was the truth, once married, the other party would definitely leave Beijing and return to Jiangnan, and she could only stay in the empty room in Beijing, thinking about this, she felt a little sad in her heart, after getting married, I am afraid that it will be rare to see each other in a year.

Soon she cleaned up her mood and said softly: "There are a lot of rumors about you in Jingshi, can you tell me about you?" ”

Yi Zhishu didn't know what rumors Jinshi had about him, so he immediately smiled and said, "What do you want to hear?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zai Tongcai said: "Let's start with your founding of Yuanqi." ”

"That's a long story." Yi Zhicontent smiled.

There are many alleys in the outer city of Beijing, dense like a spider web, the two of them pick the secluded alleys to walk one after another, all the way to gossip, easy to know that the eloquence is good, plus Yuanqi was also quite legendary at the beginning of its establishment, only to listen to the relish, unconsciously an hour has passed.

Seeing that the time for coming in had arrived, he took her back to the street and hailed a carriage, and then smiled and said: "I will visit the house in two days, can I make it?" ”

Hearing this, Zaitong said a little shyly: "Mother and eldest brother have long wanted to see your ......." ”

"Okay, I'll visit you the day after tomorrow." Yi Zhizu turned around and beckoned as he spoke, calling the two of his servants and guards who followed him to step forward, and watched the carriage on the carriage leave, and then he hurried to the Tongsheng Hall in the north of Dashilan Road to attend the banquet.

For the authorization of Yuan Qi to issue banknotes, Daoguang seems to be quite excited, if it can be successfully passed, Yuan Qi in Beijing will inevitably develop rapidly, for the initiative to find the door to ask for a stake in Yuan Qi's Jin Ling brothers, Yi Zhicontent is naturally welcome, of course, he also wants to learn from the other party about the silver number of the Beijing Division.

Yuan Qi has a semicolon in the Beijing Division, and he also knows a little about the situation of the Jingshi Silver Account, but limited to the identity of the Jingshi Semicolon Shopkeeper, he still does not have a thorough understanding of the background of some Silver Accounts, and Jin Ling's clan brother is also a Jingshi Wang family, and in these aspects it is obviously not comparable to the Jingshi Semicolon Shopkeeper.

Tongsheng Hall, in the private room on the second floor, Song Guixun, who was in his early thirties, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then looked at Jin Ling opposite, and said: "If you want to talk about the restaurant of Jingshi, this outer city is not comparable to the inner city at all, and I am really a little uneasy to invite Yi Guocheng here." ”

The restaurant was booked by Jin Ling, she wanted to watch a play in Qingyuan, and she didn't want to run away, so she randomly found a restaurant near Dashilar, although this Tongshengtang can't be compared with the restaurant in the inner city, but it is also famous in the outer city, and the signature dishes such as stewed three fresh, braised shrimp, braised duck strips, braised broken eel, fried osmanthus fish, rice noodle meat, and climbing elbow are also gone.

The clan brother who saw it was uneasy, she took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Yi Guocheng doesn't like to socialize, he has never liked banquets, he rarely feasts, and he rarely goes to banquets, and he doesn't pay attention to it, and he likes to get straight to the point when he talks, and it's better for his cousin to stay in circles less." The matter of investing in Yuanqi, I piggybacked, and he didn't care. ”

After a pause, she continued: "I really don't understand, good and decent, why does my cousin want to invest the silver number in his name into Yuanqi?" Yuan Qi has no plans to expand in Beijing now. ”

Hearing this, Song Guixun smiled, "It is a matter of time before Yuanqi expands in the north in the capital, and if you take a stake at this time, you can seize the opportunity, and once Yuanqi begins to expand rapidly, we will benefit." ”

Jin Ling said puzzledly: "Investing in Yuanqi is nothing more than dividends, how much benefit can I get?" ”

"You should think carefully about the way Yuanqi expands." Song Guixun smiled and said: "If we have the identity of Yuanqi shareholders now, it will be much more convenient to act, and today's Yuanqi is a well-known golden signboard." ”

Hearing this, Jin Ling said vigilantly: "Don't fight Yuan Qi's idea, I heard that Yuan Qi's rules are extremely strict, and Yi Guocheng is not a soft-hearted master, your few broken silver numbers are small, if you cause big trouble for our Borzigit clan because of this, ........" ”

"Look, where do you want to go?" Song Guixun said with a smile: "We are just taking advantage of the opportunity of Yuanqi's expansion and following Yuanqi to drink soup, how can we do anything that harms Yuanqi?" After a pause, he continued: "Now the dragon of the saints of Yiguo City is unmatched, this time it is a marriage and a pension, and it is also a reward for the prince's mansion, and it is estimated that Yuanqi is expanding in the north, and it is also in the past two years." ”

Jin Ling has been in Guangzhou for nearly a year, and has the most direct understanding of Yuanqi, she knows very well that the rise of Yuanqi is at the expense of the collapse of many silver money banks and pawnshops.

She was about to pour cold water on the other party, Fuqing pushed open the door of the private room, and reported: "Master, Master Yi is here." ”

The two people who were waiting stood up, and Yi Zhishu had already walked in quickly, and said with a smile: "The alleys of the outer city are like a labyrinth, and they are late to come, forgive your sins." ”

Seeing that he was so easy-going, Song Guixun hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Sir, we have just arrived." ”

Jin Ling teased: "I thought that Brother Guocheng was so happy that he forgot to go to the banquet." ”

How did this sound a little sour, Yi Zhizhi didn't dare to take it, looked at Song Guixun, and said, "This one is ......." ”

Jin Ling hurriedly introduced: "This is my cousin, Song Guixun, who has a good character. ”

The two of them inevitably exchanged greetings again, and when they sat down, Song Guixun ordered the food to be served, but Jin Ling blinked and said, "Send it back?" ”

Yi Zhishu nodded, and changed the topic: "Brother Zhang has a few silver numbers in Beijing, what is the scale?" ”

Song Guixun stretched out a slap and said, "Five, the scale is not large, each is only twenty or thirty thousand taels." ”

"How much deposit have you absorbed?"

Song Guixun didn't expect him to ask so directly, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The five silver numbers have a total deposit of less than 200,000. ”

The money bank ticket number has always been deposited in the north and released in the south, especially in Beijing, the richest in the north, but there are few long-term large-scale loans, and the conditions are generally to lend silver to Jiangnan to obtain large profits, Song Guixun's five silver numbers, the funds are only more than 100,000, and the absorption of deposits is only more than 100,000, which can only be said to be very general.

Once Yuan Qi expands in Beijing, in addition to investing in Yuan Qi, a silver number of this scale will only go bankrupt, I have to say that this Song Guixun still has some eyesight, and he groaned slightly, and Yi Zhizhi said: "Yuan Qi has always adhered to low interest and small profits, and Jingshi is now very profitable in the money market. ”

Hearing this, Song Guixun nodded and said: "On the surface, it is indeed a loss, after all, the interest rate of Jingshi's loan is much higher than that of Yuanqi Jingshi Branch, but now Jingshi's silver money bank business is not easy to do." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly, "The interest rate of Yuanqi's deposit is slightly higher than that of Jingshi Yinhao, and now that Yuanqi is famous, it is convenient to exchange money in other places and save money quickly, and the local officials and gentlemen in Jingshi and foreign businessmen are willing to deposit the silver in Yuanqi Jingshi Branch."

In addition, the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway raised funds and took away a huge amount of silver from Beijing, and now it is not easy to absorb deposits in Beijing, and it is already good to absorb tens of thousands of taels of silver like this.

The overall long-term plan for doing business is not, Yuanqi is now developing rapidly, Guocheng brother is in full swing, Yuanqi's expansion in Beijing is a matter of one or two years, and the business will become more and more difficult to do in the future. ”

For these words, Yi Zhixiang didn't dare to believe it, with Jin Ling's friendship with him, Song Guixun's silver accounts were not a problem at all, and for a while he couldn't figure out the other party's true intentions, when he said with a smile: "Jingshi ticket number, silver number, money village, pawnshop, account bureau, printing bureau, slightly larger scale, there are people behind it, Yuan Qi wants to expand in Beijing, I'm afraid it's not easy?" ”

"It's not easy." Jin Ling interjected: "Yuan Qi was able to dominate the Guangzhou money industry at the beginning, with the help of the collapse of the Guangzhou tea market, all large and small money houses were on the verge of bankruptcy, so Yuan Qi was not only supported by the local governor, but also supported by many money houses.

This is not the case in Jingshi, most of the silver pawnshop tents on the scale of Jingshi are royal clansmen, noble ministers, Yuan Qi wants to expand in Beijing, it is inevitable to damage their interests, besides, Jingshi does not have a tea market silk market to manipulate, and they cannot be forced to the brink of bankruptcy, in a word, Yuan Qi wants to expand in Beijing, it is simply a fool's dream! ”

Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "What if the emperor supports it?" ”

"It is impossible for the emperor to support it!" Jin Ling said decisively: "All the official pawnshops in Jingshi are opened by the Internal Affairs Office, and if the emperor wants to support Yuan Qi, he must first close all the official pawnshops." Moreover, even if the emperor supports it, the princes and ministers will strongly oppose it, who wants to see their own business being disrupted by Yuanqi? ”

It seems that he still thinks simply, Yi Zhicontent's heart sinks, even if Daoguang is tempted, Yuan Qi's issuance of banknotes will be strongly opposed by most courtiers, everyone knows that once Yuan Qi is granted the right to issue banknotes, it means that Yuan Qi and the imperial court join forces, and no one can stop Yuan Qi from monopolizing the footsteps of the Qing Dynasty Silver Bank! For the sake of their own interests, one by one they will inevitably oppose it vigorously!

After a few slight knocks on the door, the door was pushed open, and the drinks and dishes were sent in, and the waiting guys withdrew, Song Guixun diligently poured wine for the two of them, and said softly: "If Yuanqi can get the emperor's strong support, this matter can be said for sure, who doesn't know the importance of Yuanqi to the imperial court in the Manchu Dynasty now?" This is the same as doing business, it depends on how much Yuan Qi pays. As he spoke, he picked up his glass and said, "This first glass of wine, let's congratulate Brother Guocheng first." ”

Jin Ling took a sip of the wine, put down the wine glass and said: "It doesn't matter how much it costs, because Yuan Qi is offending the private interests of the nobles of the clan and the princes and ministers, unless Yuan Qi can compensate them or give them a better way to make money." ”

"That's to the point." Yi Zhizu put down his wine glass and said, "As long as you can avoid harming the interests of the royal family, the nobles of the clan, and the princes and ministers, no one will oppose Yuan Qi's expansion." ”

Song Guixun was overjoyed when he heard this, and while pouring him wine, he said tentatively: "Brother Guocheng has a way? ”

"As long as there is an idea, there is a way." Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "It's nothing more than an equalization of interests." (To be continued.) )
