Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 166 Making money is not easy
Liu Yizhen stared at the couple in a daze, Fan Daoji became nervous when he saw that Liu Yizhen was abnormal.

"His Royal Highness, is there any problem with the two of them?"

As he said that, Fan Daoji already put his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

"take it easy."

Looking back, Liu Yizhen ordered Fan Daoji to prepare a cheap painting boat, planning to take Wang and Guo to play along the Qinhuai River.

The lights at night dotted the banks of the Qinhuai River, and the water of the Qinhuai River reflected the lights. The combination of lights made Liu Yi really feel like he was dreaming back to the neon building.

The boat was moving very slowly. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Guo were sitting together counting the spoils of war today, and they laughed like silver bells.

Liu Yizhen sat at the stern of the boat and watched the people coming and going on both sides of the strait.

Among them, there are senior officials, aristocratic families, and ordinary people.

Although the concept of family status in the Northern and Southern Dynasties was very heavy, due to the rise of metaphysics, the upper and lower classes were harmoniously blended together.

This contradictory atmosphere may seem strange, but everyone is used to it.

Liu Yizhen saw a noble lady squatting in front of a hawker's stall to choose those novel and cheap things, and also saw a romantic scholar lying drunk in the arms of a muddy boatman.

This tolerance made Liu Yi, who had been sitting upright in the court hall, feel a little moved.

"It really is an absurd and bizarre era."

While sailing on the water, the warm sake in the cabin was brought to Liu Yizhen.

"Boom."

As soon as the wine entered his throat, there was a loud noise from the hull, causing a huge shock.

Wang Shi and Guo Shi were also startled by the loud noise, and raised their jade necks to look out.

"what happened?"

Fan Daoji was the first to rush out to the side of the boat, questioning the boatman with a sullen expression.

Then he looked up, and it turned out that a beautiful flower boat, which was twice the size of the painting boat rented by Liu Yizhen, bumped into his own boat.

"Don't you have eyes on the other side?"

Seeing that he disturbed Liu Yizhen, Fan Daoji was about to scold him immediately.

"No, just let them avoid it."

The opponent is big, and it is normal that it is inconvenient to operate. Liu Yi really has no time to argue with the opponent.

After returning to the boathouse, Liu Yizhen went to appease Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Guo. Unexpectedly, the quarrel at the bow became louder and more annoying.

Liu Yizhen came out again, but saw Fan Daoji arguing with the scholar who was painting the boat opposite.

The key is……

Liu Yizhen took a closer look, the leader was actually Yan Yanzhi?

At this time, Yan Yanzhi still didn't notice Liu Yizhen who walked out, and he still yelled at Fan Daoji: "If you tell us to avoid it, then avoid it. Why don't you avoid it? How can you be arrogant in such a small boat? You look like Which military officer actually comes here to spend time and drink, is it shameful?"

Fan Daoji is just a rough man, if he is asked to tear Yan Yanzhi apart with his hands, he can do it, but it would be somewhat difficult for him to tear him up with his mouth.

Seeing Fan Daoji's flushed face made the scholars on board cheer even more. Some of the drunken scholars actually planned to untie their belts and humiliate Fan Daoji condescendingly.

"Yan is so elegant."

Liu Yizhen walked to the bow of the boat, raised his head slightly and looked at Yan Yanzhi with a smile: "Are you free to come here today to have fun?"

The familiar voice made Yan Yanzhi startled, and after seeing Liu Yizhen's face clearly, Yan Yanzhi staggered and almost fell down.

"His Royal Highness Qin?"

"..."

After a while, Yan Yanzhi scrambled to Liu Yizhen's face, reeking of alcohol as soon as he got close.

Moreover, Yan Yanzhi's mental state at this time was not quite right, as if he had taken Wushi powder.

Liu Yizhen looked at Yan Yanzhi with a smile that was not a smile: "Are you bringing the students here to relax again?"

Yan Yanzhi admitted embarrassingly: "Indeed, the main reason is that I have been busy with my studies in recent days..."

Although Liu Yizhen set up Donglin Academy with the intention of building an entertainment venue.

But as long as Liu Yizhen didn't say anything for a day, Donglin Academy would be the place for scholars to study for a day.

Now that Yan Yanzhi actually brought the group of children from the aristocratic family to play on the Qinhuai River, and his attitude is still so rampant, it's time to beat him.

"Do you have any articles published these days?"

Yan Yanzhi who asked this question showed shame again.

I also write articles. It is a good thing to stay awake for two hours out of twelve hours a day. Where can I get the energy to make articles?

Looking at Yan Yanzhi's appearance, Liu Yi really hated iron for being weak.

Doesn't even the skin?
Even if you're just dawdling, you still need to write a few articles before you dawdle, right?
Do you still understand the rules of literati?

Some looked at Yan Yanzhi speechlessly, and some doubted whether he was qualified to continue in this position.

Although Yan Yanzhi organized the bureau well, he didn't even do the most basic "face project" of the bureaucracy, which was obviously unqualified.

Yan Yanzhi seemed to see that Liu Yi was really dissatisfied, and quickly admitted his mistake, and promised that he would never come out to spend time and drink again.

"Where did you get the money to play?"

The boats on the Qinhuai River are outrageously expensive. Even Liu Yizhen, who has a share in the white porcelain business, only dared to rent a small boat. I don't know where a group of famous but not wealthy sons and gentlemen got the money.

Mentioning this, Yan Yanzhi seemed even more guilty.

"This is……"

"Everyone got together..."

make up...

Good guy, this kind of high consumption has started since the Wei and Jin Dynasties?

Looking at the handsome and reckless children of aristocratic families on the painting boat, who would have thought that they are "single households" and fake local tyrants who have to chip in to play?

Liu Yizhen asked suddenly: "Are you all short of money?"

It hurts my self-esteem to ask this question, but it is the truth.

Before Liu Yizhen gathered this group of people from Donglin Academy together, everyone was not doing very well. They were called "celebrities", but they were actually eating and drinking. How much money can they be expected to take out of their pockets?

"Do you want to make money?"

Nonsense, who doesn't want to make money?

But making money is too difficult for these romantics who only know how to drink all day long.

But it would be different if Liu Yizhen said this.

Yan Yanzhi's Adam's apple groaned: "Does His Royal Highness King Qin have that kind of business?"

There are a lot of shady business transactions of high-ranking officials and nobles, and at the same time, there is a lot of money.

Yan Yanzhi is very clear about the position of himself and others. If he does some serious business, he will definitely lose everything, but if it is not serious...

"What do you think?"

Liu Yizhen's eyes became more and more unkind.

I am the person who will be in charge in the future, and I will conduct a thorough investigation of the finances soon. How can I take the lead in taking advantage of the country's loopholes?

Seeing that he said something wrong, Yan Yanzhi quickly apologized to Liu Yizhen.

It's just that he was still a little curious about what Liu Yizhen would do with them.

"I will go to Donglin Academy the day after tomorrow and discuss it in detail then."

"Also... Let these people be more sober that day, so that they don't become delirious!"
