Chapter 685: Erlang has a big treat
Feng Ying was puzzled: "Can't afford to entertain?" How many people do you actually plan to host? β
Cui Gengdao: "This official wants to feast on Chang'an and Wannian counties, and all the officials and arrest fast." It is also necessary to entertain local figures with heads and faces. Well, it's about the same weight as the "gentry" who came today. In addition, the leaders of the four major gangs in Chang'an City, and the military attachΓ©s above the sentry commander of the Imperial Forest Army were all included in the banquet of this official. β
Feng Ying swallowed and foamed, and said, "What you said is at least more than 10,000 people. Even the largest restaurant in Chang'an can't be entertained! β
Cui Geng said disapprehantly: "What's so difficult about that? If you can't entertain a family, can't you just entertain separately? β
Monk Huifan interjected: "The little monk has fifty inns in Chang'an City, all of which are named "Qinglian Inn", which can entertain the guests of Cui Jingzhao's banquet. β
"That's right, you order to go down and order the Qinglian Inn to entertain the guests of this official according to the standard of the same money per person."
"The little monk obeys."
An ordinary house in Chang'an, the monthly rent is about the same money. Cui Geng's status is not high, and he has always had a lot of money.
However, Feng Ying still had a sad face and said: "The local gentry are easy to say, the law does not blame the public." The leaders of the four major gangs, and even the Royal Forest Army, must also be willing to befriend Cui Jingzhao. However, how dare the officials of Wannian County offend the king of Hanoi and go to your banquet? β
Cui Geng said confidently: "It's simple, you tell them." If anyone comes to the banquet, they can stop continuing to be on an errand in Wannian County, and the king of Hanoi will not be able to control them. β
"What? No...... Don't work as an errand in Wannian County? So where do they go? β
"Of course, I'm coming to Jingzhao Mansion." Cui Geng said: "Jingzhao Mansion Caochuang, this official has nothing except three hundred female soldiers, and he is really thirsty for talent." The people of Wannian County and even the Yamen of Chang'an County, if they are interested, this official will definitely greet them. Even the virtuous people in Chang'an City, if they really want to serve the country, it is not impossible to enter Jingzhao Mansion as an official and a half-job. β
"Can it still be like this?" Feng Ying's heart was shocked, and her eyes seemed to be on fire.
Now, he finally figured out Cui Geng's thinking. Not only that, but also admired Cui Geng, Jing Zhao Yin's heart, oral takeaway.
Yes, the king of Hanoi is the pastor of Yongzhou, and he has ready-made subordinates available, so he seems to have taken advantage. He arrived a month before Cui Geng, and he took a big lead.
However, Cui Erlang turned his hands into clouds and rain, and as soon as he got out of the car, he turned his biggest disadvantage into his biggest advantage.
Even if the grade remains completely unchanged, it is a huge improvement from the county-level government service to the government government service! Don't you see, a dog comes down from Yongzhou Mansion casually, and the poor people in Chang'an and Wannian County have to be warmly received, and they are called "Shangcha"?
And the most important thing is that when this Chang'an and Wannian two counties are on errand, it is too aggrieved. There are many rich and noble families in Chang'an, who do you dare to care? Who can you control? It is subject to splint gas at every turn.
However, as a servant under Jing Zhaoyin, it is completely different. Cui Qingtian doesn't even care about the Zhang brothers, are you considered a hair?
As for the Jingzhao Mansion and the Yongzhou Mansion, one must be abolished? It is no exaggeration to say that no one really believes that the "pig riding general" Wu Yizong can win the world-famous Cui Qingtian. It's just that Wu Yizong is too cruel, so everyone doesn't dare to disobey him.
In fact, it's good to have this news. When the time comes, as soon as Jingzhao Mansion and Yongzhou Mansion merge, won't everyone rise and get a half-official position?
By now, Feng Ying and Jiang Rong couldn't care about the poor Chang'an County Commander Cao Yude.
They looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Can our brothers have the honor to find a job in Cui Jingzhao's mansion?" β
"Today, when the official first arrived, only two officials from Chang'an came out to greet him. If you are so loyal, how can this official turn you away? β
"Master Xie Cui! Don't worry, today's treat, our brothers will arrange it properly for you. β
"Well, you can discuss it with Monk Huifan.
Hui Fan has money and place, Feng Ying and Jiang Rong are very familiar with Chang'an, and they see that Cui Geng's demonstration banquet is about to start.
The more than 20 rich families in Chang'an County next to them are in a hurry. Without it, this banquet also has the function of recruitment. In these years, is there a more decent and stable career than being an official?
"The dog is literate and hyphenated, but unfortunately he is unlucky, and he has tried and failed, can he find a job in Jingzhao Mansion?"
"The villain has a nephew, who is very skilled, and is willing to work for Cui Jingzhao!"
"My brother-in-law's poems are well-known in Chang'an County, and I admire Cui Jingzhao for a long time, and I am willing to attach Jiwei!"
β¦β¦
People were noisy, but Cui Geng was not angry, and ordered someone to get a pen and paper, write down the names of these people's nephews, and prepare to give priority to hiring.
Then, he asked Feng Yingdao: "What kind of restaurant is the largest restaurant in Chang'an City?" β
"Hibiscus House."
"Okay, then you take the most important of these guests...... About 200 people, please go to the Furong Building. β
"This ......" Feng Ying said with a sad face: "So that Cui Jingzhao will know that the place where the King of Hanoi is invited today is in the Furong Building." β
"Huh?" Cui Geng wondered: "Isn't he a concubine?" Why don't you have a treat in Yongzhou Yamen? β
"This ...... The villain really doesn't know. β
Feng Changqing said: "My lord, you are a smart life, and you are confused for a while." Wu Yizong accepted a concubine and asked the dignitaries and nobles of the whole city to congratulate him. To put it mildly, he doesn't have that big dog face. If you have a topic to cover up, it will be much easier to hold a banquet in Furong Building. β
"Yes, yes, the little one remembers." Feng Yingdao: "That concubine of Hanoi Wang Na is Ouyang Lian'er, a famous prostitute in Chang'an, who is not only graceful and colorful, but also outstanding in literature. This time, the name is that the king of Hanoi will meet friends with Wen, and Ouyang Lian'er will accompany him. In fact, what is a meeting of friends with literature, it is just to celebrate Ouyang Lian'er's beautiful marriage into the Hanoi Palace. β
Cui Geng sneered: "It's even more to find an excuse to estranged the official and the leading figures in Chang'an!" Let me ask you, how many guests can this Furong Building receive? How many people did Wu Yizong invite? β
"Furong Mansion can probably receive a thousand people at the same time, the guests invited by the King of Hanoi...... The villain is not very clear, probably between two hundred and four hundred. β
Cui Geng sneered: "That's okay, you go and arrange the treat." The designated place for the feast...... No change! Today, this official is going to sing a duet with this king of Hanoi! β
"My lord......" Feng Ying still wanted to persuade again, but after thinking about it again, he had taken refuge in his new master, and it was time to work hard. At this time, the position is not firm, and it is not good for the new master to misunderstand.
He said, "Humble duty! β
Then, together with Jiang Rong and Hui Fan monks, they took the first step and returned to Chang'an City to arrange this grand banquet.
Of course, as the saying goes, it is called "please" three days in advance, "call" two days in advance, and "tiyu" on the same day. It is very rude for this kind of temporary convener to participate in the banquet. That is, Cui Geng and these people who were invited to the banquet have a far gap in reputation and status, so people will accept the invitation.
Even so, in one hour, organizing a banquet involving 10,000 people is also a great test of the ability of the three people.
Later, Cui Geng and his entourage, together with the more than 20 wealthy households in Chang'an County, slowly came to Chang'an City.
Along the way, Cui Gengguan saw the scenery of Chang'an, which is very different from Luoyang. Although both are capitals, Luoyang is known as the "capital of the gods", and its magnificence far surpasses that of Chang'an.
The only thing that Chang'an can be proud of is probably that the city is far larger than Luoyang. However, Da is not satisfied, most of the squares in Chang'an City have large open spaces, growing melons, fruits, vegetables and even food crops. As the saying goes, "Luoyang City grows people, and Chang'an City grows crops." β
From this point of view, Wu Zetian's move to Luoyang is really a wise move. But it's a pity, due to political factors, I still have to move back, which is really embarrassing.
"Your Excellency, it's here!" Just as Cui Geng was thinking about it, Yan Liang, the leader of the Cao Gang, reminded.
"This is there?"
Cui Geng raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a three-story wooden building standing tall~ towering. Under the sun, the three words "Furong Building" on the plaque shine brightly.
He muttered: "Chang'an is divided by Suzaku Street, the east of the street is Chang'an County, and the west of the street is Wannian County. To put it this way...... Is the Furong Building under the rule of this official? Wu Yizong's choice of this place is really interesting. β
Feng Changqing said with a smile: "To be more precise, I don't know whether I live or die!" β
