Qingyuan County is not big, even if the dinner is close to the end of the party, but what happened in the charity dinner is like growing wings, less than half a cup of tea, it will be known all over the city.

Whether it is to prepare for the revitalization of the county school hall, or to repair and expand the Mulan Wharf, it is a good deed to benefit the people and benefit the people.

It's also a shame that it's dark now, otherwise there are countless visitors in front of the gate of the Cao family at this time, and there is an endless stream of thanks.

As the responsible county lieutenant Cui Geng and Cui Da for this charity dinner, indirectly, he also won praise from the students and people of Qingyuan County.

As for Hu Zeyi, the county lord who was supposed to sing the leading role in the dinner, according to what he expected before, he should have won the hearts and prestige of Qingyuan County without spending a penny, but unfortunately, it backfired. Not only did he fail to achieve what he wanted, but he was also collectively greeted by Shilin students and the people of Qingyuan in private!

What happened at tonight's dinner party was spread through the mouths of the merchants and gentry who came to the banquet, because of Hu Zeyi's urine search and his unbearable performance in the banquet, so the various versions that came out of these banquet attendees were unfavorable and negative for him. Naturally, through a small dinner tonight, the county commander Hu Zeyi's popularity in Qingyuan County's already insufficient popularity was greatly reduced again, and Cui Erlang's name as a capable official who asked for the people's lives was fulfilled.

As soon as the day was shining, Wu Gongli, who heard the news, knocked on the door of the county government in a hurry, entered the county government house with the relationship of relatives, and knocked on the door to wake up Hu Zeyi, who was still sleeping soundly.

Hu Zeyi wore a robe, yawned sleepily, and came to the living room with a displeased face.

Before the person sat down, Wu Gongli hurriedly asked, "Uncle Cousin, I heard that the Cao family has opened a new money bank, called Shiju Fenglong Yinhao?" ”

Hu Zeyi glanced at him angrily, and snorted: "You broke into the county government early in the morning and woke up the county, just to ask about this?" It's nonsense! ”

"Uncle Cousin is angry, I, I ......"

Wu Gongli looked at Hu Zeyi's gloomy face, and shuddered with fright. He knew that once Hu Zeyi started a fire, not to mention him, who was a junior, even his father Wu Jitang, as Hu Zeyi's cousin, would have to give up three points.

At this time, the old servant who was in charge of Hu Zeyi's daily life in the inner house brought a bowl of tea and soup, walked up to Hu Zeyi, and said in a low voice: "Master, wake up first." ”

The tea soup is warm, not hot, not to be drunk, but to rub the eyes and refresh the eye.

This is a habit of Chang'an Jingguan, because they often have to get up in the early morning and enter the palace to go to the morning court. Therefore, whenever they get up in the early morning when they are sleeping soundly, they have the habit of wiping their eyes with warm tea soup.

Although Hu Zeyi has not served as a Beijing official in Chang'an, he is also very envious of the Beijing officials who can be qualified to go to the early court, and naturally, he will also learn some of their living habits to prevent him from being able to adapt to the rhythm of going to the morning court in the early morning and going to the court meeting on an empty stomach after he is promoted to Chang'an in the future.

Gao ascended to Chang'an, the king in front of him, but Hu Zeyi's ultimate goal of becoming an official.

"Hmm~"

Hu Zeyi dipped his index finger in the tea soup, and then gently wiped his sleepy eyelids, wiped his right eye with his left eye, and went back and forth five or six times. ”

People are in good spirits, their mood is better, and their faces are no longer as gloomy as they were just now when they look at Wu Gongli's nephew, and their voice has become gentler: "Gongli." In the future, if it is not a hundred thousand urgent things, you must not be so reckless, you know? Not an example! ”

Wu Gongli was secretly depressed, the Cao family has opened a bank, and there was such a big lottery at yesterday's dinner, this is not enough for 100,000 urgent?

So, he got up and said, "Uncle Cousin taught me a lesson. In fact, the Cao family opened a money bank, and if it opens, it will be opened, and for our Wu family, it is nothing great. The Wu family's Tianshun money village has been passed down for three generations in Qingyuan County, and it is deeply rooted, forgive him the small money village newly opened by the Cao family, and it can't make any big waves, and it can't shake our Wu family. But—"

Speaking of this, Wu Gongli bowed and clenched his fists, and said with a begging face: "I hope that Uncle Cousin can take back his life, and never deposit the official silver tax of the county government into their gathering of Fenglong!" ”

"What nonsense?" Hu Zeyi shook his head and said, "This official promised Cao Tianjiao yesterday in full view of everyone, and after one night's work, you will let this official take back Chen's life." Wouldn't that make the people of Qingyuan County laugh at the fact that the official does not speak of credibility, changes the order every day, and regards words and deeds as child's play? Monkey business! ”

Wu Gongli still bowed and clenched his fists, looked at Hu Zeyi and said: "However, once the official bank tax deposit into Jufenglong becomes a fact, it will be a huge blow to our Wu family's bank!" ”

"You kid is more alarmist than your father," Hu Zeyi said in the tone of an elder, "I know that you also want the daily tax of the livestock city to be deposited in your family's bank." But even if you deposit the official bank tax of the county government into your family's bank, how much profit can you make in a year? Even if Tianshun Qianzhuang wants to collect and absorb savings, will the Wu family still miss the official silver tax of the county government? ”

"No, this has nothing to do with collecting and absorbing savings, if the county government can deposit the official bank taxes into Tianshun Qianzhuang, the nature is different, it's different!" Wu Gongli saw that Hu Zeyi didn't take it seriously at all, and he was really anxious.

"What's the difference?"

Hu Zeyi snorted and said, "You have to know what the conditions for Jufenglong to pay?" Donate 300 yuan to the county government to repair the ferry wharf, and also be responsible for the county school's monthly payment of 30 yuan. Especially the latter, it's a bottomless loss, a public gift. Even if the official agrees to you, can you be the master of the county government to pay this money? First of all, your dad has passed the test! ”

"This ......" Wu Gongli was momentarily stunned. Because he knows too well what kind of virtue his father is, he is a urine with the cousin in front of him, and he wants Wu Jitang to pay this money for the county government? Hehe, it's as difficult as getting the cousin in front of you to pay this money! The answer is the same, that is, no way!

It's just that his father Wu Jitang is still alive and alive and the tiger is racing yaks, and the Wu family will not be able to take his turn for a while, Wu Gongli will be the master.

"Alas......"

Wu Gongli looked up to the sky and sighed, and muttered: "Wu Family Qianzhuang, this time I really met a strong opponent!" This Cao family has always specialized in wineries, how could they suddenly come up with the idea of making money? At the banquet last night, at least half of the depositors in Qingyuan were robbed of my family's money bank! ”

Seeing that Wu Gongli was so frustrated and conclusive, Hu Zeyi couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you just open a new money bank, is it so serious?" ”

"Uncle cousin, you are in officialdom and don't know much about the money bank."

Wu Gongli shook his head slightly, and patiently explained: "The business of Qianzhuang itself is years and reputation to support face, and then money makes money. The Wu family has been running a money village in Qingyuan County for several generations, and they have a reputation for many years, and it is indeed smooth sailing. But I can't stand it, last night, your old man promised to deposit all the official silver taxes of the county government into Jufenglong from now on, and entrusted Jufenglong to store it for you. What does this mean? It shows that Jufenglong Silver is even trusted by the county government, otherwise how could the county's official silver tax be deposited for a year? Indirectly, this is to guarantee the credibility of Jufenglong Money and reassure depositors! For the depositors of small households, in comparison, Jufenglong Silver is obviously safer and safer than Tianshun Qianzhuang, isn't it? ”

Speaking of this, Wu Gongli stretched out his hand and gestured, and said: "After such a fuss at yesterday's dinner, at least, Ju Fenglong will at least snatch fifty percent of my Tianshun Money Bank's depositors!" ”

"Fifty percent savers? It's better to have been in business for decades than to gather Fenglong for one night? There is this... So serious? ”

Hu Zeyi exclaimed in disbelief, and carefully pondered Wu Gongli's analysis just now, is it really like this, didn't he be used by Cao Dongjia last night?

Thinking of this, Hu Zeyi shook his head and sighed with pity: "If I knew this, I should have asked Cao Tianjiao for more money at the banquet last night." Damn Song Wen, why didn't you remind the official at that time? What a useless thing! ”

Wu Gongli: "......"

When has this been, my cousin uncle is not thinking about helping their Wu family, but about asking for money, and it is really a goose plucking, and his reputation is well deserved.

It seems that this matter has been completed, and if he wants to intercept Hu Jufenglong's savings on the county officials' silver taxes, Wu Gongli knows that it is absolutely impossible.

But he is really curious now, he has heard of the Cao family and the Cao Dong family, and he has also done it to understand, after all, he is in the business of Qianzhuang, and the most borrowed money in Qianzhuang is the businessman, so he has more or less a detailed understanding of all the businessmen in Qingyuan County.

According to his understanding, although the Cao family is one of the three major wineries in Qingyuan, it was before, and the family background was not thick in the past few years, and since the Mulan Spring Wine came out, the winery business has plummeted. Where did their family get the strength to open a bank?

And what about Cao Tianjiao? He also knew that he was definitely not the one who could be the master of the Cao family, and the Cao family's business had always been handled by his daughter Cao Yuechan.

But last night, Cao Tianjiao threw hundreds of times, but he didn't frown, and he spent a lot of money. And from the scene of last night's banquet described to him by others, Cao Tianjiao was not only in charge of the matter of the Yingbin Building, but also in the matter of the county government officials' silver tax deposited in Jufenglong, not only in a measured manner, but also definitely premeditated, and very carefully premeditated.

Is this still the Cao Tianjiao he knows who only knows how to visit the Qinglou and doesn't think about his business? If Cao Tianjiao really has the ability to perform at last night's banquet, will the Cao family still deteriorate and degenerate to the point where they have to rely on their daughter Cao Yuechan to run the business?

Wrong!

That's not right!

Cao Tianjiao should just be a person who shows his head, there are still people behind him, and he is also a person with a strong family background who can afford to support the Cao family's money bank!

Who could it be?

After Wu Gongli calmed down, his mind became delicate, and he secretly screened the person who was hidden behind Cao Tianjiao.

He went to check one by one......

This person is so familiar with the Cao family that they can trust each other and cooperate to open a silver account; This person can use the name of the county government office to collect savings, which shows that he is thoughtful and has a very high talent for business; Opening a money bank is inseparable from cash reserves, this person obviously has a strong family background, and he can come up with a sum of cash at any time......

Could it be him?

Yes!

Wu Gongli suddenly remembered that it seemed that the person who invited him to the Raushzi charity dinner on the invitation he received was him! Since he had organized the dinner, everything was naturally in his calculations last night.

The truth is coming!

"Okay, you Cui Erlang!"

Wu Gongli's face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I also gave you a personal favor last time about Fang Ming, and you actually teamed up with the Cao family to open a money bank, this is preparing to smash our Wu family's job?" ”

"Huh? What's the matter with County Lieutenant Guancui? ”

Hu Zeyi saw that Wu Gongli actually mentioned Cui Genglai for no reason, and his face was painful, as if he had formed some deep grudge.

Wu Gongli did not hide it, and told his analysis one by one.

After Hu Zeyi heard this, he smashed his fist on the armrest of the chair and scolded: "Okay, you Cui Erlang, you dare to love yesterday's charity dinner was planned from beginning to end, and the co-author was also played by you!" ”

Wu Gongli snorted, seeing that his uncle was furious, a trace of luck rose in his heart, and he put on a tone of hatred and hatred, and persuaded him: "Uncle cousin, Cui Erlang's city is very deep, and the matter of gathering Fenglong with the Cao family is still hidden from you, and you are still playing like this at the dinner." Otherwise, if the county can't do it, the ferry won't be repaired, and he won't be able to fulfill his thoughts, and he will definitely not hand over the official silver taxes of the county government to Jufenglong! ”

"The county school is not run, the ferry is not repaired, your Wu family is willing to pay this money for the official?"

Hu Zeyi glanced at Wu Gongli quite contemptuously, turned his head and continued to scold Cui Geng angrily: "You must know that Cui Erlang is also mixed in, and this official should ask Cao Tianjiao for more money last night, so if you simply build a ferry, you can directly open your mouth to a thousand guan, then at least six or seven hundred guan can enter the county's money bag." Alas...... It's really cheap, Cui Erlang! ”

Wu Gongli: "......"

His face was as black as ink, and he was speechless.
