Lu Ruolan thought for a while and said, "If the concubine loses, from now on, the Zou family will turn enemies into friends with Jufenglong." ”

The Zou family is the richest man in the world, if he can use this gambling contract to go to a strong enemy for Jufenglong, of course Cui Geng can't ask for it, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

However, just when Cui Geng thought that the gambling contract was reached, Lu Ruolan had another moth on his side.

She said again: "Wait, if the Cui County Order loses, the concubine wants to change the condition." ”

"On what terms?"

It is rumored in the world that since the death of his fiancée Lu Lihua, Cui Xianling has stopped making poems. If the concubine wins, please also ask Cui County to make an exception and compose a poem to give to the concubine. ”

I think Cui Geng's original words in Yang Siniang's house were that he would not write poems to the women of Qing~Lou, because they were not worthy of being compared with Lu Lihua.

But somehow, these words spread farther and farther, and the more they spread, the more they changed, and now, it has become Cui Geng's heart for his deceased wife, and he sealed the pen for Lu Lihua. So much so that women in the world are now proud of Cui Geng's gift of a poem, which is really laughable.

Cui Geng hesitated at first, but he was sure that the bet with Lu Ruolan would win, so he changed his mind and nodded in response: "Okay, just according to what Little Lady Lu said." ”

After making a gambling contract, naturally they couldn't waste time, so the two said goodbye, Cui Geng turned around and got on the horse, and went straight to Yangzhou to assassinate Shi Yamen.

After the concierge passed Zhang Qian, the effort was not great, and Cui Geng was introduced to the flower hall of the back house.

Zhang Qian is always slippery shoulders.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, as soon as Cui Genggang sat down, he took the first step and said: "The old man has already heard about the fact that the Jufenglong Silver has been squeezed in the past few days. Erlang, you have to find a way to transfer the silver as soon as possible, so as to calm down this turmoil as soon as possible, and to appease the hearts of Yangzhou depositors. If something really goes wrong and causes a civil uprising, the old man can't protect you. ”

As soon as Cui Geng heard this, he understood that Zhang Qian had already cleared up the matter of Ju Fenglong, and it was obvious that the old man was not ready to wade into this muddy water. If necessary, the old man will even take the initiative to persuade himself to agree to the conditions of the Zou family for the sake of Yangzhou's stability.

The old pervert is really unreliable, fortunately, the buddy has a plan!

Cui Geng's eyes rolled, and he said unhurriedly: "Xiaguan came here today, if he wants to say that he came to gather Fenglong, it is indeed true." But to say that it has nothing to do with Jufenglong, it really has nothing to do with it. To tell the truth, Xia Guan is here today specifically for Zhang Tingshi and for the people of Yangzhou. ”

Damn, the little fox put on two big hats for the old man!

Zhang Qianhuan has been up and down for many years, of course, he will not be deceived by a few big words, and asked leisurely: "Oh? What exactly does Jiro want to say? ”

"This matter is very important, please listen carefully to Zhang Tingshi!"

Cui Geng suddenly got up and said impassionedly: "There is a way that people have left their names and swallows have left their voices." Zhang Tingshi is an official for the benefit of one party, doesn't he want to leave something for Yangzhou City? ”

Zhang Qian naturally didn't eat his set, he didn't eat oil and salt, and replied calmly: "Yangzhou is rich in people, outstanding people, there is no bandit and no hunger, even if the old man has a heart, he is also powerful and has nowhere to go!" ”

"That's not the case, Master Zhang, think about it carefully."

Cui Geng said with a lotus tongue again: "Now in Yangzhou City, there is something imminent, and you must personally order it to be rectified." If this thing is done well, after a thousand years, your good name will be spread in Yangzhou City! ”

If someone else said this, Zhang Qian would probably have to order someone to beat out the madman in front of him. The reason is very simple, there is really such a good thing, and the previous Yangzhou assassins didn't rush to do it? Where can it be your turn?

However, when Cui Geng said this, Zhang Qian was also skeptical, and asked patiently: "Don't sell Guanzi, what is the matter that Erlang is referring to?" ”

Cui Geng said: "Yangzhou City is too small, densely populated, and every inch of land in the city is expensive. Has Zhang Jianshi ever thought about making this Yangzhou city bigger? ”

"Oops!"

Rao is a member of the Jinshi family, and Rao is a child of a family who has been up and down for decades, Zhang Qian heard this, but he still couldn't be calm.

I didn't pay attention just now, and I just pulled off a few strands of my beard.

He didn't care about the sharp pain in his jaw, and asked urgently, "What are you talking about?" Be clear! ”

Cui Gengdao: "Xiaguan means to build another big city outside Yangzhou City. The original castle is a sub-city, and the newly built big city is Luocheng. Together, Zicheng and Luocheng are the new Yangzhou City. With this achievement, why is Zhang Tingshi not famous in history? ”

Cui Geng's suggestion is not a decision to pat his head, but a fact in history.

Eighty years later, in the late Tang Dynasty, there was a famous corrupt official, Lu Shaoyou, who ruled Yangzhou.

This Lu Shaoyou can be described as a model of corrupt officials, and his skills are shocking. In order to get the opportunity to govern Yangzhou, he lavishly bribed the rulers.

Among them, there was a eunuch who asked for a bribe of 10,000 yuan, and what about Lu Shaoyou? Not only did he not bargain for this goods, but he also took the initiative to increase the bribe to 40,000 yuan.

Not only that, but he also declared that this is not the end, as long as he is in charge of Yangzhou for one year, there will be a bribe of 40,000 yuan every year.

A eunuch is a bribe of 40,000 yuan, so how much does Lu Shaoyou have to spend to buy this official?

After he takes charge of Yangzhou, how should he get back to his roots?

That is to build Yangzhou Luocheng.

Luo Cheng, literally, is a big city outside the city.

The Luo City built by Lu Shaoyou is four or five times larger than the original sub-city, how much money does it cost to build such a big project?

With a slight stroke, it is a sea of gold and silver.

This is not a project rebate, isn't there a huge gray income?

For example, if you build a city, you have to have a house in it, right? Judging from the situation of every inch of land in Zicheng, how much is the value of the newly built house in Luocheng?

The most important thing is that it is not the officials of Yangzhou who have the final say on who to sell to or not to whom? Can't more than 100,000 properties be auctioned, right?

Let's put it this way, even if Lu Shaoyou doesn't do anything while lying down, someone will give him his due, and the number is more than a million?

What's more, this money is not only not hot to hold, but also to make a good name!

Even after a thousand years, when people mention Yangzhou City, they can't help but mention the history of this Lu Da Thorn.

Cui Geng was forced by Lu Ruolan to be helpless, and suddenly remembered this allusion, which can be regarded as asking Zhang Qian to pick up a ready-made bargain.

As for himself?

First of all, such a big thing as building a new city can only be led by Zhang Qian. Cui Geng, a small Liupin county order, can't support such a big stall.

Secondly, when the specific affairs of the city are built, the participation of the Jiangdu County Government is indispensable, and it is just a matter of earning more or less.

And most importantly, where will the money come from to build the new city?

Wu Zetian wantonly amassed wealth, which caused deflation in the world, and it was definitely not possible to count on the imperial court to allocate funds.

But Cui Geng still thought of a way, that is, to use the land outside the city as collateral to issue bonds to merchants.

In order to raise funds smoothly, it is natural to push Yangzhou's first brother, Zhang Qian, the governor of Yangzhou and the assassin of Yangzhou, to the stage. It is up to him to announce that whoever buys the bonds of the corresponding plot will have the right of first refusal to purchase the corresponding plot after the construction of Luocheng.

Zhang Qian's credibility is definitely the credibility of the imperial court in Yangzhou.

As for who will be responsible for issuing bonds?

Since Cui Geng gave Old Man Zhang such a good idea to make money and gain fame, Zhang Qian naturally had to repay the favor and hand over this business to the exclusive agent of Jufenglong Yinhao.

In other words, Jufenglong didn't spend a single child, and he got the right to dispose of a large amount of land outside Yangzhou.

Whenever a merchant wants to make a big difference in Luo City, he has to look at Ju Fenglong's eyes and act.

Sake is popular, wealth is moving, not to mention fame and fortune?

Zhang Qian was moved......

……

If you want to move, you have to act! Zhang Qianlei was resolute, and he wrote a memo on the same day, which was rushed to Chang'an City for 800 miles.

Early the next morning, he posted a notice outside the government office, hoping that the military and civilians of Yangzhou City would enthusiastically buy Jufenglong's bonds.

So, the next day, in front of the Jufenglong Silver Trumpet, three completely different people appeared.

The first is to cry and grab the ground, hating that he sold the money ticket to the "Ju Longfeng" silver number at a 20% discount yesterday, and asked the Zou family's Ju Longfeng to return the money quickly. However, the shopkeepers who gathered in Longfeng had already fled, where did he find someone?

The second type is the melon-eating masses who do not know the truth, they have doubts about the credibility of Jufenglong, and still ask for money.

As for the third type, there are merchants with a keen sense of smell.

They were not in a hurry to exchange money, but to take money out of other people's banks and deposit money in the Juhong Long Silver Account.

Even if the guys of Jufenglong repeatedly stated that the bonds issued by the prefect's yamen had not yet been printed, it could not stop their enthusiasm.

The reason is very simple, this bond is linked to land, and it is obvious that there are more wolves and less meat. Now and Jufenglong have a good fate, and it will be easy to talk in the future, right?

Seeing that the money saved is far more than the money withdrawn, this big crisis, Ju Fenglong can survive it.

……

As for Lu Ruolan's side, she is willing to gamble and lose.

The little lady is also a believer, and since then, she has never found trouble with Jufenglong. Even Zou Huozi never came to the door again.

Cui Geng got up in his spare time, and from time to time the shadow of this little lady with a blue heart appeared in his mind.

"Cui County Order, the little monk has come to visit you, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the curtain was raised, and Song Genhai walked in with a monk.

The monk is none other than Cui Geng's old acquaintance in Lingnan Province - the little monk Huiming.

Cui Geng was slightly stunned, that day, the little monk Huiming had to teach himself in Guangzhou, and after he "transformed" 200,000 yuan from Hou Sizhi very wittily, his reputation soared, and he faintly had the posture of the first monk of Lingnan Road.

However, he wondered, this little monk is not enjoying happiness in Lingnan Road, and is worshiped as his first monk, what is he doing in Yangzhou?

I haven't seen him for two years, and the little monk Huiming has become more and more of a solemn monk.

"Amitabha, Cui County's order is falsely praised, and the little monk is tormented!"

After listening to Cui Geng's question, the little monk Huiming folded his hands and said, "What is the first monk in Lingnan?" The little monk is ashamed! Since listening to Master Huineng's teachings, the little monk realized that what he had learned before was really insignificant. ”

"Master Huineng?"

Cui Geng's heart moved, this name is not unfamiliar, if I remember correctly, this Master Huineng is a Buddhist monk who is a serious eight classics, and the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism. The little monk Huiming, how did he get involved with him?

He asked, "The little monk suddenly came to Yangzhou City today, what happened?" You don't come to see the official, do you? ”

Huiming said: "Now the little monk has worshiped Master Huineng as his teacher, and he has come to Yangzhou Hongfa by the order of his teacher. I also asked Cui County Ling to help him in the past. ”

The little monk actually worshipped the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism as his teacher? has vision, can hug the thighs, and has a future!

Cui Geng secretly approved, nodded and responded: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

"Did Cui County Order really promise the little monk?"

The little monk Huiming didn't know why, but he was overjoyed.

Cui Geng said: "The relationship between this official and you, why is it difficult to promise you this little thing?" Propagating the Dharma, educating the common people, and guiding people to goodness, this official should support it, right? You don't have to be so polite! ”

However, the little monk Huiming was still happy, and said excitedly: "Cui County Order did not hesitate to offend the national teacher of the dynasty for the sake of the little monk, which is really righteous." The little monk set in front of the Buddha and prayed day and night for Cui County. ”

Bang Dang!

Cui Geng was so shocked that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and blurted out: "Hey, wait!" You make it clear, what do you mean? This official helped you, why did you still offend the national teacher? ”
