The guests are still coming in waves, there are friends from the calligraphy and painting shop, there are stewards and men of Christie's, as well as the servants sent by the Mi family, the Pan family, and the Ji family, who are big and wealthy, take the name of the head of the house and bring gifts, and even Wang Lou, Pan Lou, Fengle Lou, Yuxian Lou, Qingfeng Lou and Eight Immortal Lou and the steward of the Fang Building - now the "Oiran Dabi" is not over, and the owners or big shopkeepers of these famous buildings in Kaifeng still have to ask for Wu Haogu!

Wu Haogu's old friends Guo Jing and Liu Wuji also came, this time they all brought their families, Guo Jing brought his sister and mother, and Liu Wuji came with Yan Po'er's elderly prostitute. In addition, the parents and brothers of Monk Fu who traveled to Japan also came to the martial arts family for a New Year's Eve banquet.

Oh, by the way, Yan Ren Ma Zhi has also arrived. He came alone, and he didn't call anyone, but he showed the invitation to the servant of the martial family at the door, and quietly came in alone.

He was a distinguished guest, and he was supposed to be seated in the main hall of the samurai. However, he didn't go to meet Wu Haogu, but walked around the lively martial arts hall. Since it is a flowing water seat, there is no fixed seating except for the main hall. So Ma Zhi chose an inconspicuous shed and got in, and sat with a group of farmers who didn't know where they came from.

The reason why it is so low-key is because this time Ma Zhinan's mission has been overfulfilled by many times. He had already followed the ancient line of Wuhao to catch Tong Guan, and also followed Tong Guan's line to the Great Song Dynasty. Although Tong Guan and the Great Song official family did not give him any benefits, they would send Wu Haogu to envoy Daliao with the return mission, which already explained the problem.

Wu Haogu is now the head of the Hanlin Painting Academy, and the Hanlin Painting Academy of the Great Song Dynasty has always been responsible for spying on the intelligence of other countries, and Wu Haogu is close to himself.

Ma Zhi also guessed part of the truth after some brain supplements, he thought that the Great Song Dynasty was sending Wu Haogu to meet the figure behind him, and he was also the number two person in the Ma family of the Doctor Wu Lushan Mountain, the south of the Great Liao Lin Tooth Academy!

Because Ma Zhi had established contact with the Great Song Dynasty more than ten years earlier in this time and space, he was not the leader of the "separatist" forces that were dissatisfied with the rule of the Liao State and were devoted to the Great Song Dynasty among the powerful people of Yanyun Han. The current leader of the gang is his uncle, Centaure.

As Zhang Dian and Ji Yi guessed, these Han heroes in the Liao State who were eager to the Great Song Dynasty did not love the Song Dynasty unconditionally...... Now is not the era of nationalism and national liberation, these Han heroes and strong people are not very miserable on the side of the Liao State, the reason why there is a double heart, of course, there are factors of national feelings, but the main thing is that they found that the Great Liao has been declining, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses.

And the collapse of Da Liao, for these Han heroes, is both risk and opportunity!

Because the demise of the Great Liao will inevitably mean a round of power reshuffle in the Northern Dynasty and even in the whole world. Seize the opportunity in this round of power reshuffle, and you can take advantage of the momentum! Otherwise, they will become victims of war, and may even be wiped out.

Therefore, the Han people who perceived that the Liao State was about to perish were very frightened, and at the same time, many people had ambitions - if the Khitans were finished, would they, the powerful men who controlled a large amount of land and population, have a chance to take advantage of the situation and save one side?

That's right, it is the Jiedu side, not the empty name of a Jiedu envoy, but really like the Jiedu envoy of the fifth dynasty of Tang Ji, controlling the world and commanding tens of thousands of male soldiers!

That's what the big husband does!

The Han Haoqiang of the Liao State and the nobles of the Song Dynasty or the civil officials from the imperial examination are not the same idea, they are the gate valves, they are the heroes, and their brains are still in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Look at the current Guotai and Min'an of the Great Song Dynasty, look at the prosperity and wealth of Kaifeng Mansion, the best city in the world, and then look at the strong and good fighting of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Great Song Dynasty can follow everyone's wishes, then the day of the great chaos in the Liao Kingdom in the future will be when Yanyun recovers, and maybe even Liaodong and Liaoxi can be taken together!

It's just that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty can promise to set up feudal towns in Yanyun, Liaodong and Liaoxi?

If the Great Song official family refuses, then it will be difficult for Yanyun's Han wealthy family to work together......

……

When Ma Zhi was sitting in the corner eating and drinking, thinking nonsense, Wu Haogu was already busy with his father Wu Chengzhi and his brother Wu Haowen sticking to the door gods, pasting peach charms, worshipping ancestors, and then toasting the guests from table to table...... I can't stop for a moment.

Except for a few who don't have families in Kaifeng Mansion or come with their families, everyone else is rushing to eat. Especially the proprietors and shopkeepers of the calligraphy and painting shops are all rich people, and many people in the family are waiting for them to go back. If it weren't for the fact that Wu Haogu was too busy, and he didn't have the time to get together with everyone until now, they wouldn't have come over in person.

Because I want to talk about something in the industry, the Wu family set up several large tables for these people in the inner hall of the East Cross Courtyard where Wu Haogu lived, full of Luoyang flowing water seats with "eight cold and sixteen hot", and also put out all kinds of good wine.

Wu Haogu and Wu Chengzhi went around the courtyards and halls where the banquets were placed, and finally went straight to the inner hall of the East Cross Courtyard and entered the table in a greeting.

After entering the table, there was another round of toasting, naturally first saluting Wu Chengzhi, and then pouring Wu Haogu. Fortunately, Wu Haogu's body "brought" a good amount of alcohol, and after drinking so much, his brain was quite sober, but his face was a little red, but it didn't affect his speech: "Everyone, a lot of things have happened in our Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Store this year!" There are good things and bad things, but there are always more good things! As for how it will be next year, please tell me about it! ”

Du Lao's head is Du Yongde, and he took out Fan Zhongyan's "Shi Lu Ti" plus a granddaughter who is like a flower and jade, Wu Haogu naturally supports him as the head of the line, so now he will make this matter clear as soon as he comes up. And he casually designated a line leader, in fact, he was also telling these Dong Weng and the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop, the line head is not a big deal, but it is just a sentence from his martial arts!

And why did Wu Haogu give the position of head of the line to Du Yongde, the person who can sit in this room, even if he doesn't know now, will soon figure it out......

Another leader of the calligraphy and painting line, Xia Guocheng, the chief of the Hanlin Calligraphy and Art Bureau, was the first to echo. He can sit on this chair, naturally he is a fox, and he immediately guessed that Du Yongde made a bloody slap of Wu Haogu's sycophants. Du Yongde was not polite, he stood up with a wine glass, and smiled on behalf of the calligraphy and painting store to toast Wu Haogu again.

Then he said with a smile on his face: "Since Wu Zhizhao looks down on the old man, then the old man will say a few words, where to talk about it?"

Oh, let's start talking about the Fengle Lou record sale a few days ago! This is a big deal in our calligraphy and painting shop! ”

As soon as he said this, the originally noisy table instantly quieted down, and everyone turned their eyes to Du Yongde.

Old man Du smiled and said, "This matter, the big guys must have ideas...... The price of singing and selling is expensive, but the things are guaranteed, and those who buy and sell are all satisfied, but we, the tooth people who were originally in the middle, have suffered a loss. But have you ever thought about it, who do we tooth people rely on for food? Aren't you a buyer or a seller? In the past, you can really make a lot of money by relying on the two-headed way? The old man may not look at it. First, it is difficult to open a business that comes and goes; Second, we have a supply of goods in other places, and Kaifeng Mansion is mainly a place to sell antique calligraphy and paintings, so singing and selling has raised the behavior of antique calligraphy and painting, which is also beneficial to us; Three...... This singing and selling business is a new business, and Christie's is just the first one. ”

The first of its kind!

It means that there can be a second one, a third one......

But can Wu Haogu agree?

Everyone hurriedly went to see Wu Haogu's face, Wu Haogu smiled and said: "A family's food alone is not big, and the singing and selling store can sell more than just calligraphy, painting, literature and play." My Christie's has set a precedent, and everyone in the painting and calligraphy industry can follow suit. Let's make this singing and selling line bigger! ”

In fact, the singing and selling industry is also an industry that can develop horizontally, and the singing and selling is an auction, and the auction is an open and transparent trading method. There is almost nothing that cannot be auctioned, art and antiques are only a small part of it, and in the history of auctions, the first to appear was the auction of slaves, then the loot, commodities and land. In fact, the exchange industry is derived from the auction house.

Therefore, the capacity of the singing and selling line is unimaginable, and the ancient Christie's line of martial arts can't eat it at all, and he doesn't dare to swallow it in one bite, so he has to pull a group of peers with backgrounds to do it together.

So he is not afraid of others joining in at all, but he can't give up the dominance of the industry.

His gaze swept around the hall, and then he lowered his voice and said, "After the first day, I have a business trip, and when I come back, I don't want to hear that someone has set up a second singing shop...... But I'm not trying to get in the way of everyone's money, but I'm going to work out a rule with you. Once the rules are discussed, it's a lot easier for you to start a business, right? ”

"Yes!" Du Yongde immediately said, "That's what the old man meant...... Before Wu Zhi Zhaozhi came back, no one could open a second singing and selling shop, otherwise it would be against the entire calligraphy and painting shop. ”

Xia Guocheng and Old Man Xia also said: "That's it...... It's a few months, who can't wait? If you have kung fu, you can collect some calligraphy, painting and literature to play, and when the time comes, you will have to sing it at a high price! ”
