Tang's dining table

A long time ago, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty had two most important allies, one was Liu Wenjing and the other was Pei Ji.

The reason why these two people are important is that there were no outstanding talents around Li Yuan at that time.

Liu Wenjing, the commander of Jinyang in the Sui Dynasty, supported Li Yuan and his son in the rebellion. Later, because he was jealous of Li Yuan's favor and trust in Pei Ji, he became dissatisfied and complained. He was charged with treason and executed in Chang'an. Before execution, he said to Ying: "The high bird is gone, but the good bow is hidden. The fruit is gone." Don’t be fooled!”

Pei Ji, the deputy eunuch of Jinyang Palace in the Sui Dynasty, supported Li Yuan and Li Shimin in revolting in Jinyang, and he had a share of credit for the overthrow of the Sui Dynasty and the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, due to his mediocre talents, he was defeated in every battle and had no political achievements.

Later, he was dismissed from his official position, stripped of his town, and returned to his native place. Finally, he was sent to Jingzhou to die in office.

However, after the death of these two people, Emperor Taizong thought of their merits in serving the dragon and treated their descendants very favorably. After several decades, the Pei Ji family had become deeply rooted in Jinyang.

If we say, who will be the worst to Jinyang's Liushui brand after it is established?

There is no doubt that it is the Pei family who are powerful in a place that could have been used to divide the spoils.

The merchants have all gone to Liushui Brand to do business, and they no longer need the help of local snakes like them. One can imagine their hostility towards Liushui Brand.

Yun Chu felt that it would be easy for a monk to be scandalized if he stayed alone with a nun for a long time, so he found a talkative man to carefully serve Master Huiyuan, who did not dare to return to Mingda Temple for the time being.

Today's trading results are good, almost the highest point in four days. However, everyone seems to be rushing in and out to buy today and sell tomorrow. It seems that they still have insufficient confidence in the Liushui brand.

Yunchu stood in front of the bronze bell that was about to ring to end the transaction. Seeing that the last grain of sand in the hourglass was drained out, he decisively rang the bell to end the transaction.

As the bell rang in the trading floor, which was bustling with people just now, the noise of buying and selling instantly turned into daily curses or sounds of regret.

I just don’t know if the bulk goods on the Liushui brand will see a surge tomorrow after Princess Jinyang enters the game and the two good news after Pei’s massacre comes. After all, today’s transaction price is still low. based on the actual transaction price.

Master Huiyuan is a timid person. She doesn't like chatting with the talkative guy and likes to follow Yun Chu around.

Yun Chu could finally see clearly that this was a pure palace lady. Even though she had been a nun for many years, she still followed the palace rules in doing things - first hug the thigh of a superior person.

Nowadays, in Jinyang, no one has thicker thighs than Gong Yunchu of Lantian County.

This may be the way for these palace people to survive. In order to be able to hold them in their lap, they will let the superiors take whatever they want.

This old nun must be a kind-hearted woman.

Jinyang is also one of the imperial capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and there is also an imperial palace here. Therefore, there may not be any young and beautiful nuns in Mingda Nunnery. However, this old nun would rather jump out and disgust Yun Chu than let the little nuns under her command. The nun came out and I have to say, this damn guy is definitely a good person.

I really don’t know what kind of people the nuns in Mingda Nunnery encountered, which made Master Huiyuan have this kind of self-awareness.

However, when she used this hand on Yun Chu, Yun Chu felt humiliated.

After all, Yun Chu considered himself a good person.

When it was getting dark, Liu Rengui's cousin Liu Kefei returned to the trading floor with dozens of cartloads of money. Most of this money was in the form of gold and silver, and not much copper coins.

Master Huiyuan said: "Most of the copper coins have been scattered."

Yun Chu nodded. It seemed that Huiyuan and the others wanted to cover up the existence of these gold and silver by scattering copper coins, but they just failed.

"Where are the others in the Royal Capital?"

Liu Kefei looked at Yun Chu carefully and said, "Continue to pursue the evil thief."

Yun Chu said: "How many have been killed?"

Liu Kefei said: "One hundred and sixty-seven people."

"Have you counted?"

"No, it's Wang Sima and the others who are used to cutting off the left ear to record merit. I listened to one ear when they reported merit."

"Has the house near Mingda'an been cleared out?"

"It has been cleared, and thirty-seven men and women have been rescued."

Yun Chu turned around and explained to Master Huiyuan: "Fankou means the hidden population. After these people have been checked one by one by the Army Sima King, if there are no problems, you can keep them to help take care of Jinyang." orphan."

Master Huiyuan nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with Yunchu's arrangement.

Liu Kefei added: "More than 1,400 pieces of silver were also found."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Don't worry about me. I'll give this money to them as a reward. Didn't Chu Dayou, who was left behind in Jinyang, come forward to stop me?"

Liu Kefei said: "Why did General Zuo Xiaowei of the Sixteenth Guards of Jinyang send a Sima to ask, and Wang Sima said that these people were trying to steal the funds from the Liushui Brand Capital Pool, and they followed His Majesty's order to kill them.

Then, why bother to go in and wait for the people to return to the city. Now, Wang Sima is going to the city to continue pursuing the criminals. I am afraid that someone will come to see the father-in-law soon. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If someone comes, let him know. If they are not satisfied with my behavior, they can come directly to me to participate in the performance."

Liu Kefei nodded and said: "In this case, my subordinates will check these belongings and prepare them for storage."

Yun Chu looked at Master Huiyuan and said, "How about fifty thousand guan and forty thousand guan?"

Master Huiyuan nodded and said: "Very good, I also need to reward my subordinates who have made meritorious service."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I took this Wan Guan to punish you for showing off your tricks in front of me. Next time if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. People in this world are not as filthy as you think. "

Huiyuan clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, there are many women in Mingda Temple who are suffering from hardship. The poor nuns wish they had no wings to protect them."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "In the future, there will be five hundred elite soldiers stationed here in the Jinyang trading hall all year round. Mingda'an is an important shareholder of our Jinyang Liushui brand. If anyone comes to bully us again, inform the soldiers to infringe on the capital pool. Kill him for the crime!"

Master Huiyuan said in surprise: "Is it feasible?"

Yun Chu said calmly: "If you kill a few more times, no one will dare to offend you."

Master Huiyuan immediately said: "This year, Mingda Temple still has eight thousand guans of breath, why not..."

Yun Chu said with a half-smile but not a smile: "You think so, it's your rare luck to be able to invest in Liuchizi this time. I still want to add money forever, just dream."

Come here, escort Master Huiyuan back to Mingda Temple. "

After sending away Master Huiyuan who was reluctant to leave, Chu Dayou, who was left behind in Jinyang City, came as expected. However, his official position was generally that of staying behind with Yun Chu. However, his title was just that of an earl. A duke like Yun Chu , naturally have the right not to meet with a person of such a low title as him.

Since no one came to visit when Yun Chu came to Jinyang City, there is no need to see him in the future.

After all, Yun Chu was also a soldier who had dealt with Li Ji and the others too much. Once he had the power, he implemented Ling Laixing's two-faced style very smoothly.

When he was in Handan, in order to open up the situation, Yun Chu could mingle with those merchants who were looked down upon by the Tang Dynasty. Now that he has made a good start in Jinyang, the people in Jinyang City should also see the Imperial Duke. So majestic.

For businessmen, integrity can reassure people that you will not embezzle their money.

For businessmen, power can make people believe that you can protect their money.

The previous pro-people approach was aimed at amassing money.

The purpose of today's iron-blooded methods is to protect money.

Only when both are present, can the reputation of the Liushui brand be truly established, allowing more big businessmen without the protection of power to actively invest money into the capital pool.

The money for the Great Buddha Temple was originally given by Yunchu, and paying interest every year is money sold by the reputation. In the future, the reputation of the Great Buddha Temple will be bound to the Liushui brand, which can reassure people.

Mingda'an's money is money from the weak. Liushui Brand protects this money, and the interest it gives cannot be the same as that of the Great Buddha Temple. It is mainly used as a show to show others.

In the future, those merchants who have no power to protect them who want to invest their money may not only have to face the threshold set by Yunchu, but also may have to pay protection fees to Yunchu.

At dawn, the royal capital returned with five hundred soldiers covered in blood. They did not bring anything as terrifying as a human head, but only a bunch of bloody left ears.

Just before trading was about to begin on the trading floor, these people knelt on one knee in front of Yun Chu, who was dressed in monk robes, and handed over their orders.

"In honor of the Duke's order, four hundred and twenty-one madmen who were trying to steal money from the capital pool were killed. The rest of the madmen escaped without a trace. Please give me your order whether to pursue them or not."

Yun Chu always believed that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had just come off the battlefield were the most intimidating existence. When the almost hoarse voice of the royal capital sounded in front of the Jinyang trading hall, even after getting along with Yun Chu all the way, he had no respect for it. Mr. Liu, Chen Dansheng and the others, who were so humble, also felt frightened.

Only then did they remember that the monks who had been with them in the past were some of the most invincible generals in the Tang Empire, and even more so a murderous demon.

"It is important to protect the funds in the fund pool. The escaped madmen will naturally be dealt with by the department. I believe they will not be able to escape this dragnet. All the soldiers have contributed to killing the enemy. All seizures will be returned to the public. When this matter is settled, I will discuss it myself. Merits are rewarded, and all the officers and men, who have worked hard and achieved great results, can return to camp and rest.”

Yunchu dismissed the soldiers in a condescending manner. At this time, the opening bell of the trading hall rang again.

The chilling look on Yun Chu's face immediately disappeared, he got out of the way of the body blocking the main entrance, and said with a smile to the merchants outside who were about to enter for transactions: "Don't panic, everyone, we just killed some crazy people, and the capital pool is safe and sound." , you are welcome to enter and trade, and I wish you all great wealth."
