"There were three guards along the way, and I couldn't thank you enough.

After Gu settled down, he invited the three of them to have a drink. ”

The time has finally come to separate from Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong and Lu Qian.

The salaries of the three were settled by Zhang Xizai, who is now also the bookkeeper, the day before. Therefore, when he entered the Fengqiu Gate, it was when Wu Haogu broke up with these three bodyguards. They all live in the north of the city in Kaifeng Mansion, and as soon as they enter Fengqiumen, they are not far from home.

Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong and Lu Qian all said goodbye to Wu Haogu and the others happily. The father and son of the Lin family got a "flying windfall" and finally saved enough money to buy a house! Now the old Lin Tou is rushing at Wu Haogu and a Dong Weng, and he can't wait to resign from his military position tomorrow to carry a gun to defend Wu Dalang.

And Lu Qian's face was full of joy, Wu Haogu didn't give him much benefit, but he was appreciated by Tong Guan Tong.

It's really a ladder to climb!

It seems that there is no need to rely on betraying Lin Chong's wife to please Gao Yanei......

Then, Wu Haogu's two good brothers, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, also went home to take a look. Their residence was outside the Anyuan Gate in the inner city of Kaifeng, near Wazi in the north of the state.

"Da Lang, I'm going to go back and take a look at my mother and sister-in-law."

Guo Jing reluctantly said goodbye to Wu Haogu.

"Da Lang, I'm going too, and when I'm settled, I'll look for you again."

Liu Wuji didn't say that he was going to Yihong Courtyard - Wu Haogu and Guo Jing were against his relationship with Yan Po'er in terms of face, so he didn't want to say more.

Wu Haogu also arched his hand at the two good brothers: "Third brother, Xiaoyi, don't live here." You have been working hard with me these days, so you will have a good rest for a few days when you go back...... Five days later, I will set up wine in Fengle Building, you must come. ”

"Okay, I'll come."

"Definitely."

Wu Haogu was going to invite a lot of people to set up wine in Fengle Building, not only Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, but also planned to invite Pan Xiao'an, Mi Youren, Su Dalang, Gao Yu and Ji Yiji.

And the purpose of Wu Haogu inviting them was to discuss the matter of investing in and running a commercial bank together.

This joint-stock firm is the foundation for Wuhaogu to do a great business, and it must be done well.

The difficulty of running a joint stock firm is not to find a project to make money - how Wu Haogu came from later generations, and there are first-hand calligraphy and painting skills, so finding a project is not a problem, the problem is how to establish a relatively efficient "joint-stock company" in the Song Dynasty, that is, Wu Haogu wants to open a joint stock firm.

In those years, there was no "Company Law", and there was no ready-made "Articles of Association of a Joint-stock Company" to copy, and he did not study business in his previous life, and he had only seen the set of company management.

Therefore, now he can only invite all the shareholders who may become shareholder, and the big guys will discuss it, and he must come up with a "Articles of Association of a Joint-stock Commercial Bank" before he can open a commercial bank according to the regulations.

After entering the Anyuan Gate, I walked along Mahang Street for a while, and when I arrived near Fengle Building, Tong Guan also said goodbye to Wu Haogu, Ma Zhi, and Mi Youren.

"Wu Dalang, Second Brother Ma, Mi Xiaoyi, our family is going back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother, so let's not live here."

Fengle Building, also known as Fan Building, is a scene on Mahang Street, consisting of five buildings in the southeast, northwest and middle. The three floors are high, the fifth floor is facing each other, and the flying bridge railings are interconnected. The overall building is undulating, the eaves and corners are staggered, and it is magnificent. It is one of the best places to go in Kaifeng Mansion, and the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace is just west of Fengle Building.

It is said that on the third floor of the Bungaku, you can get a glimpse of the eastern edge of the Imperial Palace!

If such a building was in the Tang Dynasty, it would have been removed by the emperor's decree. But in the Song Dynasty, it has to be said to be a miracle that it has stood for so many years.

Now only Ma Zhi, Mi Youren, Zhang Xizai and Wu Haogu are left, leading the horses and walking on the street. However, they will soon be separated, Wu Haogu will return to his home in the first sweet water lane, while Ma Zhi will borrow Mi Youren's mansion, and Zhang Xizai will temporarily live in the Pan family's calligraphy and painting studio.

"Second Brother Ma," Wu Haogu smiled at Ma Zhi, and said as he walked, "You can talk to that Tong official." ”

Ma Zhi smiled, "To be honest, I often heard people say in the Northern Dynasties: The Southern Dynasty was prosperous in terms of civil rule, but the martial arts strategy was insufficient, and the men all carried brushes and abandoned swords, which was worse than the women of the Northern Dynasties." However, after seeing this Tong Daguan, he knew that those words were nonsense, and the eunuchs of the Southern Dynasty were so knowledgeable about military affairs, not to mention the scholars? ”

This horse planted ......

Wu Haogu listened to Ma Zhi's words, and he was really a little speechless.

If the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty are better than Tong Guan, then they can indeed restore Yan and destroy Liao.

Seeing that Wu Haogu was a little disdainful, Ma Zhi thought that he didn't look down on eunuchs, so he smiled and said: "Da Lang, a certain family sees that this Tong Daguan is not a thing in the pool, you have to make good friends with him in the future." ”

"Thank you Second Brother Ma for reminding me." Wu Haogu knew that the other party wanted to be stubborn, but he still saluted him. "Three days later, a certain person will set up wine in Fengle Building, you and Yuanhui will come together."

"Then it's better to be respectful."

Wu Haogu looked around, and he was almost walking to Panlou Street. He said to Mi Youren: "Yuan Hui, Second Brother Ma will be handed over to you, take him on a good tour of Kaifeng Mansion, and we will see you in three days."

Ting Yang, send Second Brother Ma to Mifu for me. ”

……

After breaking up with his good student Mi Youren, his good friend Ma Zhi, and his bookkeeper Mr. Zhang Xizai, Wu Haogu walked to his small shop on Panlou Street alone.

At this time, Panlou Street is very lively, there are food stalls everywhere, the aroma is overflowing, and the shouts come and go, this lively energy is not much better than the downtown commercial street of the metropolis in the future.

Wu Haogu traveled for almost a morning, and he was already a little hungry in his stomach, and he didn't want to go to the restaurant to eat, so he wanted to buy a few snacks on Panlou Street and go back to his nest, that is, the martial arts painting restaurant, to have a beautiful meal.

In his memory, there were too many such scenes...... It seems to be real life, and everything now is like a dream.

Walking to the front of a shop selling soft sheep noodles with the smell of mutton soup, Wu Haogu just wanted to ask the boss to bring him a big bowl, and the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the door of his shop. The door that should have been closed at this time opened at some point. A slightly chubby, elderly man was standing against the door frame. It was Wu Haogu's father, Wu Chengzhi.

"Dalang! Is that you? ”

"Father, it's a child."

Wu Haogu didn't care about buying noodles, so he hurriedly walked over.

"Da Lang, you're back!"

Wu Chengzhi looked at his eldest son, who had not seen him for many days, with a few tears in his eyes, but he still squeezed out a smile.

"Thin, dark, but energetic, out of ......"

I don't know if there is a lot of emotion for my father in this body, and when Wu Haogu saw Wu Chengzhi, he couldn't help but cry.

"Father, child, child...... It's been too long since you've been away from home, how is home? ”

"Okay, everything is fine." Wu Chengzhi tied the horse led by his son to a tethered horse post erected at the entrance of the store, and then pulled his son into the store.

Walking into the shop, Wu Haogu suddenly found that the shop was full of calligraphy and paintings, most of which were in quite good condition. Some should be made by living masters, and some are ancient paintings and paste-like or high-imitation boutiques.

Obviously, the business of the samurai painting studio has also been greatly improved because of its own fame.

"These days, the business in the shop is booming, and many painters who are well-known in Kaifeng Mansion are willing to send their paintings here for consignment...... There are also several times more guests than in the past. Oh, by the way, there are still many people who come to the door to ask for paintings, those who can block it, for your father to block it, and those who can't stop it, have received a deposit. Now I have collected more than 50,000 ......."

"More than 50,000?" Wu Haogu took a breath, "How long does this have to be painted?" ”

"Not much, but thirty or forty of them...... By the way, Ji Yizhi Ji Daguan alone set ten pieces, and I was not embarrassed to push it. ”

"It's okay," Wu Haogu smiled, "he has to do business."

By the way, Pan Eighteen is back, right? How is she now? ”

"Pan Niangzi She ......"

At the mention of Pan Qiaolian, Wu Chengzhi's face suddenly changed, and he refused to speak.
