Chapter 46: Talking with Old Companions (10)
Feng Congyi did what he said, and after only resting at the house for a day, he straightened up and prepared to leave Beijing and return home.
He is also capable, and when he left, he even got a post ticket, and he could use a post horse all the way, and he lived in a post house for free. In Xihe Road, it was easy to get a post ticket as Feng Congyi, but it was still effortless in the capital.
The post coupons came from the left capital of Kaifeng Mansion. He was one of the top of the six hundred officials in the house. Compared with the frequent transfer of officials, the old Xingzun among these public officials, after decades of errands, has no less power than the four magistrates and judges, and is still above the six Cao joining the army.
But Han Gang heard the family members who accompanied Feng Congyi outside to receive him say that the Du Ya was shouting at Feng Congyi's big officials before and after the big officials, and he was more kind to his mother and son.
Since ancient times, the king of Hades has been difficult to mess with, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are not known for their diligence. If it doesn't matter, even high-ranking officials like bachelors and waiters, if they want to get post tickets, they must not have this speed, and there will be no capital government to send them to the door in person, and most of them have to send people to Kaifeng Mansion to urge them three times and ask for four times.
Feng Congyi asked his companion to put away the post coupons, and his expression was as usual, but it was just regarded as a trivial matter. However, when he came over to say goodbye, he saw Han Gang's disagreeing expression, so he laughed:
"Third brother, you are too self-conscious. All states in the world have now begun to prevail in the Keju League, and the government has so much more tax revenue, can't it afford to be a post ticket? You want to be clean, and you don't look at how people do it. Which family travels and doesn't get a post ticket from the imperial court? They are perennial cheap in the court, but the younger brother has always been self-disciplined, usually using the carriage and horse in the house, living in the post house, the house money and food money are enough, and this time there is no way to make an exception. ”
Han Gang shook his head and said nothing. The atmosphere of this era can't be resisted, and future generations can't catch it either, so it's better to not see it. As long as you give something back to the official and make up for the loss, you can be considered reasonable in your heart.
Feng Congyi got into the carriage and left. By mid-spring next year at the latest, there will be good news on the side of Xihe Road.
Seeing Feng Congyi's weight in the capital, Han Gang was also relieved.
The magic of money is invincible.
Inducement is the simplest and most effective means of winning over people. Feng Congyi can have such a big face in Beijing, didn't he come forward to organize the Keju League and pull the noble businessmen out to make money?
Wang Anshi has been in charge for many years and offended the clan to death. But in the eyes of the clans, the reputation of Han Gang's son-in-law is passable, and this is still because of money.
An ordinary team, even if it doesn't make the playoffs, after dozens of games a year, the ticket money alone is a huge amount, plus the dividends from the gambling money and the advertisements on the court, at least 10,000 yuan. And the better the team's results, the more revenue from tickets, dividends, and advertising.
In the bustling city of Tokyo, businesses have opened up overnight since hot air balloons dragged advertising banners into the sky. Nowadays, every game day, the hot air balloon drags advertisements to the sky, and there is also a circle of advertisements on the side of the stadium, and even the team's uniforms are embroidered with advertisements.
In the playoffs that just ended, the Huaikang Army Festival envoy, Emperor Yingzong's sixth brother Zhao Zonghui's family-raised winning team, the chest of the team uniform was embroidered with Zhang Daihua's face wash pills and white advertisements. Han Gang heard from Feng Congyi yesterday that Zhang Daihua of this generation spent a full thousand yuan for this - this money can catch a Jinshi's son-in-law and come back!
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
The team can make money, and the Qiyun head office, which directly distributes the gambling money, will naturally not run out of money
Although Feng Congyi is now just an ordinary member of the shareholders, he still has a lot of say as a pioneer. And as a few representatives elected by the firm, even those nobles can't suppress him, otherwise the eldest princess's family wants to change the competition system, and they have to send lobbyists to his door?
Under Feng Congyi's suggestion, the six hundred officials of Kaifeng Mansion privately got more money from the Qiyun General Society, which hosted the Keju League, than from the Son of Heaven. The officials of Kaifeng Mansion also have a gray income.
The living God of Wealth, where can he not give face? Those who dare not follow the path of Qiyun Headquarters and gamble in private against the rules will all be found guilty and put in prison. The league's eyes are a lot hot, but which ruffian dares to reach inside?
Last night, Feng Congyi chatted with Han Gang about how to make money together by gambling on horses. Between the words, he was full of praise for Han Gang's idea of focusing on horse racing.
It is too expensive to build a polo team and belongs to the high-end type of competition, while horse racing bidding is low-end, low cost and simple training. Although if you want to play well, you won't spend a lot of money, but the threshold is not high after all. Especially in the lower leagues, it is still mainly based on ordinary horses.
Taking the Keju League as a model, Feng Congyi even planned the competition system. It is still a league composed of local teams, and the total number of points from multiple games is used to determine the winner of the last match. The competition is divided into short-distance, middle-distance, and long-distance competitions at all levels, as well as Tianji horse-racing-style team competitions. After that, the top two players from the local league are selected to participate in the finals to determine who will be the champion of a season.
As long as you can stagger the time of the Keju League, you will not only attract a group of people who are not interested in Kemari, but also bring fans and gamblers who are buried in the Kemari League.
It takes time to breed a good horse, but buying a horse is still fast. As long as the league is formed, it should be effective within three years. Ten or twenty years later, horse racing will spread all over the world like Keju, and as long as the court can get the money, the good horses will be as many as they want, and they can enjoy them for a long time year after year, and the herd priest will have something to do.
However, whether it is ten years or three years, it is a matter of the future, and at the moment Han Gang is still very idle, there is nothing to do in the herd department, and the main business is a letter asking for a reply.
And the judge of the Department of Health and Welfare came to visit again, but this time it was not Wu Yan - he was sent to be in charge of the formation and supervision of the Red Protection Bureau in more than 20 counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, and it would be great to be able to return to the capital once a month within a year - but Cai Jing.
Han Gang took the name card, was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while, "Please." Ask him to go to the side hall. ”
After changing into the costume of a guest, Han Gang came to the side hall, and an official in a green robe immediately got up.
"Cai Jing meets Long Tu."
Bow together, and the movements are soothing and free. This celebrity through the ages is a little too handsome, with handsome eyebrows and a long figure, which makes people feel ashamed at first sight.
And Han Gang also remembered that he was in the West Taiyi Palace. The song "Tianjingsha" back then had already been sung, although Han Gang had no face to plagiarize and sign his name, but the identities of both him and Lu Ming were dug up by the good deeds. It's just that the two of them have always refused to admit it. And who were the few scholars in the West Taiyi Palace at that time, of course Han Gang had heard about it.
But Han Gang had no intention of having anything to do with Cai Jingduo, and returned the salute: "Jiu Wenyuan grew up." At the beginning, the chief ran for Mulan Pi in many ways, and Han Gang also heard a lot. I have been admiring it for a long time, and when I met today, I knew that the rumors were true. ”
Han Gang said it was basically a compliment, but he could hear that he was proud of Mulanpi, and Cai Jing still had a little self-satisfaction, "The work of the small end, compared to Long Tu's accumulated merits, is the difference between fluorescent light and Haoyue, and Long Tu's reputation is ashamed." ”
Han Gang smiled slightly, finished his polite words, and invited Cai Jing to sit down.
After letting the subordinates change the tea, he asked, "I don't know if the chief is visiting today, can he give advice to Hangang?" ”
Han Gang's words were rusty, but Cai Jing smiled, "Long Tu said the opposite. The technique of planting pox is derived from the work of Longtu Gewu, and he has to ask Longtu for advice. Cai Jing self-view of the Hengqu Zhengmeng, which has a saying that 'the heart of the big can understand the things of the world', the dragon figure looks up at the sky, looks down on the earth, the body of the world's things, the natural way of heaven and earth is used for personnel, can be described as the heart of the great. ”
"The body is the essence of the Tao. The avenue is far away, and Han Gang has to be slight, and he is far from being praised by the chief. Han Gang said humbly.
From Cai Jing's words, it can be heard that he is quite familiar with Qi science, and he also has a little understanding of Han Gang's theory of Gewu. At least it took some effort.
If, regardless of Cai Jing's identity, he heard that someone had a deep understanding of Gewu and Qi Science, Han Gang would most likely promote or recommend him after inspecting his character and ability.
It's a pity that for a traitor who has been famous for eternity, Han Gang's trust in him is completely negative. Maybe the rumors were wrong, but Han Gang didn't think he needed to take a risk, and he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could control him.
To be able to commit great treachery and great evil, there must be great wisdom and courage, Han Gang agrees with this sentence. If it is possible, suppress Cai Jing without a trace, Han Gang doesn't mind stretching out his hand once. But Cai Jing's ability is extraordinary, and he is also like a fish in water in the officialdom, a Jinshi in Xining for three years, only nine years to become a court official, and he also served as a prosecutor in the fifth room of Zhongshu. This opportunity is much stronger than that of Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu and even Zhang Dian back then. And judging from his fame for future generations, it is conceivable what his career will be in the future.
The humility that seems to come from the bottom of his heart in front of such a talent who is placed in a sack and can stand out immediately cannot hide the pride hidden in his heart.
Cai Jing still remembers Han Gang. Han Gang didn't seem to remember, but he passed by in the first palace of the West Tai back then, and he remembered it deeply because of the small order that was sung all over the world.
When Xining was three years old, his high-spirited Jinshi and the first, Shi Brown became an official, and Han Gang, who had just been recommended, was similarly different from Han Gang, and there was one more Jinshi, no matter who looked at it, he Cai Yuanchang was a little more promising, but now that nine years have passed, the status of the two is already worlds apart, and the difference is very far.
Nowadays, working in the Department of Health and Welfare, everyone envies that merit will fall from the sky, but in the depths, it is to pick up Han Gang's cheapness. Jealousy is meaningless, and Cai Jing never wastes his mental strength. Although Han Gang's position is close to being dominated, he is stagnant at the moment, and he is steadily rising, and sooner or later he will catch up.
Cai Jing never doubted this matter.
