"This ...... Third brother," Feng Congyi's eyes seemed to ask Han Gang if he was talking nonsense, "Junior brother is just a little envoy, how can he be qualified to go to the book?!" ”

"Where do you want to go to school? If you really write a recital, you will be blocked before the Privy Council. Han Gang sneered, he was very familiar with the virtues of the officials of the two central governments, "Such a good idea, even when it reaches the level of rampant and servant, it is indispensable to be tempted, and when you see it, you will make up your mind and be greedy." Removing the recital of a small envoy is nothing to the officials of the Western Mansion; Erase the record, and just say hello to Tongjin Yintai Division again - without evidence, it won't work for me to say anything - if you do it, you can be accused first, this kind of thing is not unprecedented. As soon as your side settles the matter, in two days, the Privy Council will be able to report to the Privy Council with a different person...... Brother Fool wants you to go back to Xihe Road to do it. ”

"Back to Xihe Road? That's a lot of delay! Feng Congyi said, "Do it directly in the capital, and just say a word." ”

“…… When did the tone become so big? Han Gang raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Third brother, don't believe it, the younger brother is not bragging. As long as the third brother nods, within ten days, before the New Year's Festival, the younger brother will be able to run the horse race in Beijing. It's a polo league, two months, and it's not a problem to get six teams and eight teams to come out. Feng Congyi held his head high, "Last month, He Renmei, who is the maternal uncle of the eldest princess of the country, also brought a message to the younger brother, asking if the Keju League would play one more cycle a year, and it would be too wasteful to play for half a year and rest for half a year. He's helping his nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law ask! ”

After only a few years of hard work, Feng Congyi pulled the power of the entire Longyou businessmen, using cotton cloth as a stepping stone, and gained a firm foothold in the business community of the capital, and now he is already in a pivotal position. firmly controlled the cotton line, and used the Keju League to communicate up and down, from the princes and nobles to the ruffians on the ground, he could speak. If you really want to talk about it in detail, his connections in Jingzhong are deeper than Han Gang's.

Han Gang also heard a lot of rumors. Although the situation in Xihe, Guangxi, and even the capital was created by Han Gang, it still depends on Feng Congyi's ability to become bigger and stronger. Han Gang also admires his cousin's management skills. However, Feng Congyi's appearance of rushing to show his skills now does not have the grandeur of Feng Da's shopkeeper, who is famous in the business world of the capital.

"Why are you in a hurry, like a child. How could a foolish brother not believe it? Longyou Feng Si's name in the capital, I am the elder brother like thunder, the famous Feng God of Wealth. Han Gang laughed twice. His expression also became solemn, "The capital is too eye-catching, and the foolish brother is also in the way, so it's inconvenient to do things now." If you start horse racing in the capital, just because of the foolish brother, the final result may be the opposite of what you expected. ”

Han Gang glanced at Feng Congyi and found that he was listening attentively, and continued with satisfaction, "Now that Xihe and the capital have a close relationship, any novel activities can be spread to the other side in a month or two. As long as you can make the horse racing competition more powerful in Xihe - the practice of the polo team is not a matter of one or two days - someone will definitely take the initiative to ask what is going on. ”

This is bait fishing, and people take the bait. Feng Congyi nodded: "Little brother understands, I'll do it when I go back." ”

Han Gang was stunned for a moment, he hadn't explained it in detail, why did he agree so easily, "Aren't you afraid that if someone in the capital directly organizes a horse race, or even stabs it to the Son of Heaven?" ”

"How could the third brother watch the little brother suffer?" Feng Congyi laughed: "Actually, as long as they want to do this, they will inevitably take out the matter of Xihe Road as proof, otherwise who will follow them?" What's more, as long as Xihe Road is ready, the younger brother will let the people below spread the matter in the capital at the same time. It was only a day or two when it reached the ears of the Son of Heaven. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Han Gang listened more satisfied, "When the time comes, Brother Fool will be able to recommend you to the Son of Heaven logically." ”

Feng Congyi hesitated for a moment, and shirked: "Actually, it is enough to have an official body now, but it will be troublesome to show your face in front of the Son of Heaven, and when the time comes, it will become the target of the public, but it will drag down the third brother." ”

Han Gang stared at his cousin: "Do you really think so?" Don't think about whether it's dragging me down, think about yourself first. Don't worry about anything else, the current emperor is bent on cheering up. As long as it can be supplemented by the imperial court, the Son of Heaven will definitely not be stingy. ”

"Dog meat can't be on the table, and the younger brother is not qualified to enter the Wende Hall and the Chongzheng Palace. If you go to the temple with a gambling match, it will smear your face with the third brother. Feng Congyi suddenly smiled again, "And you have to blame the third brother, the younger brother heard that the whole Yushitai was offended by you, but they can't help the third brother." But now if the little brother jumps up, isn't this asking for hardship? ”

Feng Congyi thought very clearly, the current prosperity of SF Bank is supported by Han Gang. If Han Gang falls, SF Express will be defeated in a blink of an eye. The roots of the Han family are too shallow, which is different from those deep-rooted families. So Feng Congyi understands very well that Han Gang's status in the court is everything, and he must maintain Han Gang's image no matter what.

He would come to the capital in a hurry, just because he was worried that something would happen to Han Gang, and now that Emperor Zhilu Dao didn't take it to heart, he could rest assured. Relying on the pox planting method, Han Gang's blessing is about to spread all over the world. rushed outside and said that he was Han Longtu's cousin, ordinary people don't have to say it, even if they are arrogant scholars, they have to give some face.

In such a situation, what does it matter if you don't go to the temple? After seeing the Son of Heaven, he can't let a few more taels of gold and silver in his purse, maybe he will scrape a penny. If the Son of Heaven praises too much, it will attract the group of crows in the Yushitai, and it will be too late to hide.

Seeing that Feng Congyi's expression did not seem to be fake, Han Gang nodded: "Since this is the case, the foolish brother will wait for good news." When the time comes, those who should be stopped will definitely be stopped. He laughed, "Since you don't want to bear this false name, at least you have to get the real profit!" ”

Feng Congyi got up and clasped his fists and saluted: "Then the capital will be entrusted to the third brother." ”

Han Gang frowned and raised his hand, motioning for Feng Congyi to sit down: "What do you mean by 'entrustment'?" This is actually a foolish brother's errand! ”

Feng Congyi said with a smile: "When it comes to betting on horses, the third brother, what you see is thousands of troops, but what the younger brother sees is real money." Just for gold and silver, it won't be an errand for you alone, third brother. At the moment, this is called taking what you need, public and private! ”

Han Gang pointed at his cousin, shook his head helplessly and smiled: "You...... This mouth is really worthy of the level of the God of Wealth, no wonder the name of Ning Da of the gold and silver intersection shop in the Boundary Body Lane will give you a top. ”

Han Gang was in a good mood.

Betting on horses will naturally arouse the interest of the world's wealthy families in raising horses. There may be only a few horses that can finally go on the field and participate in races at all levels, maybe only one or two thousand, but as a base, the horses raised in the homes of wealthy families must be dozens or hundreds of times more than the horses that officially enter the race, and they are all trained horses, but they are only eliminated in the process of training.

Therefore, there are also benefits of breeding horse breeds.

Aren't the thoroughbred horses of later generations bred from a few Arabian horses? Of course, thoroughbreds are specialized sprint racing horses, often inbred and most vulnerable to live long without care, and such horses are not suitable for military use. But to breed a thoroughbred, I don't know how many years, don't worry, let alone hope.

In the current situation, it must be the wealthy families who are interested in participating in the competition to search for the best horses. Hexi horses are all ordinary, perhaps, Indian, Arab, or commonly known as the sweaty BMW Altejin horse, may be available. As long as a stallion breeding fee system can be set up, and the fees are arranged according to the ranking, it is believed that the pedigree of good horses will be passed down from generation to generation in the Central Plains.

Feng Congyi was also in a good mood, but he gave Han Gang this idea, "Presumably, over time, the rich families in the Central Plains will raise horses, and China's good horses will not lose to the Khitan." As far as the Western Xia pays tribute to the Khitan 30,000 horses every year, the two countries together still can't win. ”

"How can the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty be comparable to that of Khitan and Western Xia?" Han Gang said, "However, the 30,000 tributes in Western Xia are not only horses, but also camels. The tribute is only a horse, and the Western Xia can't afford it. "This is also for the reason why the officials below the Qun Pastoral Division have the confidence to let the Son of Heaven implement the Huma Law, which is all caused by the Western Xia and the Liao State.

"It's all like camels, it's unbearable, the Western Xia itself is not strong, and if you suck blood from the Liao State like this, it will end sooner or later. I really can't figure out why Liaoguo is so greedy? Didn't you say that the king of Wei of Liao was a powerful minister? How can you be so confused when you can be in power? It's really not as good as King Han back then. ”

"There are indeed not many people who can compare to the King of Jin, even if the prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty are counted, there are very few. Today's King Wei is naturally inferior. "Han Gang admires Han Derang very much, who is the cheap old man of the Liao Holy Sect, as a powerful minister, he has been honored and favored before and after his death, and his ability can also be seen, "But Yelu Yixin is a smart man, he definitely doesn't want to exploit the Western Xia like this, not only weakening the strength of the Western Xia, but also making the party members deviate from morality and shake the status of the usual, but if he doesn't get enough returns from the Western Xia, he can't instigate all the ministries in the country to fully support the Western Xia." ”

"The third brother's intelligence is really incomparable." As he spoke, word spread outside that the meal was ready. Feng Congyi immediately stopped and touched his stomach: "After eating, sleep, tomorrow the younger brother will set off to return to Longxi, and he will do a good job of betting on horses." ”

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Han Gang grimaced unhappily, "I'll talk about it after the New Year." Brother Zhong, Brother Jung, and Jin Niang all miss you as your cousin. ”

Feng Congyi shook his head: "The younger brother also wants to stay, but he told the family in advance, and he has promised his uncle and aunt to celebrate the New Year at home this year." ”

Han Gang's expression darkened when he heard this, and he sighed, his son is not filial and can't serve his parents, if he keeps Feng Congyi, who is treated as a son, it is indeed too much.

"Anyway, I can rest for two days, and half a month is enough to go back."

"Who knows if it will snow on the road, but this time I came here with good luck. It was sunny all the way, and the snow on the road was not thick. But the return trip is not necessarily, and leaving early can also prevent delays on the road. ”
