Chapter 253
While scholars from the two counties were talking about it, new news broke out.Yuanfenghao Bank sponsored 100 taels of huge sums of money to encourage scholars to create high-quality goods.

The general meaning is to use the five published poems as a model, create according to the genre and subject matter of the model poems, and offer a reward of 20 taels for each genre.

The specific announcement rules will be announced at the Taibailou Wudingqiao store later, and the sample poems will also be moved here to continue to be released.

What surprised the scholars the most was that the news also said that this type of activity will be held as a regular practice for a long time in the future.Every year, spring and autumn will release the model poems of the season, which are called the Spring Show and Autumn Show respectively.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, only Qin Dewei dared to do such a thing.

As the saying goes, there is nothing first in literature, who dares to post five poems casually and call it a model?In the city of Nanjing, only Jiangdong Xiaobawang has such arrogance.

Upstairs in Fangshu, Qin Dewei wiped his sweat, he was really tired from carrying too many things that he shouldn't have today.

Fortunately, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and all the business partners that should be taken care of were taken care of, and there should be no missing ones.

It's just that there is still a stack of special small-denomination banknotes in my arms, I don't know if I need to disperse it, or else I just float it away?

The official literature event finally came to an end, the beauties began to enter the venue, and at the same time began to arrange the banquet.

Jin Feng in Wufengli left Mr. Gu again and returned to Qin Dewei. Qin Dewei took advantage of the opportunity to look at Mr. Gu, but found that Mr. Gu was staring at him unkindly.

"Mr. Dongqiao, why don't you pick out beauties and see me?" Qin Dewei, who was in a relaxed mood after completing the task, joked.

This upstairs is a small circle, and there are no outsiders, so the old leader Gu said bluntly: "Do you want to use this new method to spend money to compete for the leadership of the Jinling literary world?"

Qin Dewei didn't like this, bragging and saying: "I have great ambitions, and the only thing I want is to govern the country and the world. I have no interest in such a false name! If Mr. Dongqiao is worried, I will let you judge later!"

Gu Lin wanted to say something, but heard a servant shout: "The Duke of the country is here!"

According to the etiquette, everyone went downstairs to greet them. After all, in terms of rank, the Duke of the State is basically the highest rank among the different surnames, although most of the Dukes of the State do not have much real power at this time.

Xu Pengju, Duke of the State of Wei in brocade robe and jade belt, took over the throne in his early twenties and served as Minister of Defense of Nanjing when he was 16 years old. He is still only in his thirties.

But Xu Pengju was not alone, there was another third-rank official who came together, and it was Yan Song, the prefect, which surprised everyone, especially Qin Dewei.

It can be seen from today's gathering that although the scale is grand, all the local gentry and senior officials such as Gu Lin and Luo Feng came to participate, and there were no Nanjing officials who are still in office.

When Xu Pengju's uncle, Xu Tianci, the son of Dongyuan, held an elegant gathering, he could still invite officials to attend, but Xu Pengju's side was not suitable.

After all, Xu Pengju is the real Duke of Wu Xun and Minister of Defense of Nanjing. There are many taboos between the current civil servants and the Duke of Wei in private.

Therefore, Yin Yansong of Yingtian Mansion and Wei Guogong appeared together in a social occasion like the Gathering at this time, which surprised everyone, which is a bit unreasonable.

After Xu Pengju greeted everyone, he went upstairs and took a seat together, and then took the initiative to explain: "You don't need to be surprised! Today I have a business meeting with Mr. Yan, so I won't go into details about the military aircraft. After the talk, I invited Mr. Yan Let's go to dinner together."

Everyone went to see Yan Song again. It is estimated that Wei Guogong was thinking of being polite to you, but you really came?But there are also people who understand the recent situation faintly realize that Yan Fu Yin took this opportunity to come to Qin Dewei?

Yan Song also felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by others like this, but he was also very helpless.

The son was imprisoned in the county prison, so he couldn't ignore it, but Qin Dewei avoided seeing him, so he couldn't invite the government office to come.Today is a rare opportunity to stop Qin Dewei, can you not come?

Wei Guogong glanced around, his eyes fell on Qin Dewei, and he said, "Your Excellency is probably Qin Dewei? He has been famous for a long time, and I just got to see him today. It's a pleasure to meet him!"

Qin Dewei saluted again and said, "I've seen Duke Ming!"

Then Wei Guogong's next sentence was: "The Yuanfeng Bank was opened by you? I heard that it is very prosperous recently."

Qin Dewei didn't expect that Wei Guogong would ask this first when he opened his mouth. Isn't this too outrageous?Do you all know each other well?
He replied cautiously: "It's not opened by me, but by other people's partnership. I just help out."

Xu Pengju said again: "I also want to buy shares, is that okay?"

Qin Dewei: "."

This duke is too unreliable, there are so many people present, is it appropriate to say this?

To be honest, Qin Dewei has no interest in cooperating with Wei Guogong at all, and he doesn't even want to get too involved with Wei Guogong.

If Qin Dewei is a wealthy businessman or something, and has no ambition to go out of Nanjing, and just wants to eat and die in Nanjing, then it is not impossible to cooperate with Wei Guogong, who has defended Nanjing for a long time, even if it is to seek refuge.

But Qin Dewei has now stepped into the scholar class, and the elders have already won Jinshi, so they are obviously part of the civil service. How could he intend to mix up with such a ostentatious and eye-catching official like Wei Guogong?
He and Wei Guogong don't have the traditional friendship like Commander Xu, and getting too close will only make others suspicious, and it will also be detrimental to his reputation among civil servants.

Besides, according to the historical process, it is estimated that Wei Guogong will be dismissed for the first time soon, and he will get nothing if he cooperates with him as a rich man.

So Qin Dewei declined and said: "Duke Ming is really joking, you are already so rich, you can still take a fancy to a business like a bank? It's better not to kill it!"

Xu Pengju really wanted to make money. The Duke's family had a lot of expenses, and when his grandfather passed away, he distributed a lot of the family property to his younger uncle Xu Tianci, which made Xu Pengju much more nervous than the old Dukes.

Ignoring the evasion, Xu Pengju asked again: "It's not like I'm taking by force, so you can just say whether it's okay to buy shares."

Qin Dewei was not afraid of Wei Guogong, no matter how noble Wei Guogong was, he would not be able to control literati affairs, as long as he dared to reach out, he would send dozens of memorials to impeach him in minutes.

He just couldn't afford to contradict a state prince, so he found an excuse and explained: "Speaking of Yuanyuan Fenghao Bank, in fact, Minggong, you are not suitable to be a shareholder, and it is not good for you!"

Xu Pengju was surprised, "It's just a business, why not?"

Qin Dewei continued to explain: "Many of the money houses are government-owned businesses, and Wei Guogong is not suitable for you to participate in it."

In fact, it is not inappropriate, it is a taboo, and it is a big taboo for military officers to interfere in the government.You, the Duke of the State guarding Nanjing, are involved in the business of the local government and want to rebel?
Xu Pengju waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's all negotiable. If you are willing to let me become a shareholder, stop the government business first, and then I will bring in the business of the guards!"

Qin Dewei smiled wryly and said: "Duke Ming, you are too ostentatious like this, which is not conducive to your way of keeping a low profile. Listen to the next few words of advice, it is better to restrain yourself in the past two years."

 There will be another chapter in a while, a relative passed away, these two days I can only come back at night to write two chapters, alas, owe it, owe it
