Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 81 Opening

"Brother Yang, Brother Kang, I'm back."

Wang Xiao took big strides and walked into the Jinchai Tower with an old follower in a vigorous manner.

Yang Chao and Kang Hui rearranged the guest list, which was a big project, because Yang Chao had more than a thousand people for the banquet, including half of Nanjing's mid- and low-level officials, the most famous talents, and prominent wealthy businessmen. Please come.

Wang Xiao directly broke into the room where Yang Chao and Kang Hui were staying.

"You boy, you are finally back, how are things going?"

Yang Chao scolded with a smile.

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "I'm going out, there's still something I can't do!"

Several generous actions made Wang Xiao full of confidence. Whether it was paying respects to Shi Kefa or helping Zhang Pu to operate, he was full of spirituality, especially the second time, helping Zhang Pu go to Beijing, with a sharp vision, daring to think and dare to do The businessman style with strong action is vividly displayed.

Yang Chao said: "Then Liu Rushi agreed?"

Wang Xiaodao: "It's not just Liu Rushi, sister Bian Saisai also agreed."

Yang Chao clapped his hands and said hello, sisters of the Bian family and Gu Mei, these are the two famous prostitutes, and Liu Rushi, who is not inferior to the four famous prostitutes, is sitting in the town, the momentum of this opening is enough, of course not the four It's a little regretful that the prostitutes gathered together.

Yang Chao patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder. Wang Xiao is really capable of handling things. To be honest, if he didn't have the knowledge beyond the times to bring insights beyond the times, he might not be as good as Wang Xiao.

"Brother Wang, why are you still bringing guards?"

Kang Hui said suddenly at this moment.

When Wang Xiao came in, an old man in his 50s or [-]s followed him. He was not tall or burly, and he was limping, obviously a lame man.

"Hey, forget about it..."

Mentioning that he was going back to Hangzhou this time, Wang Xiao was furious.

When Wang Xiao comes back this time, he won't leave. The Wang family's business in Nanjing will be handed over to him in the future.

Because of Shi Kefa's purge, the Wang family almost faced a catastrophe.

For this purpose, the Wang family almost used the connections accumulated by the entire family over the past century, from high-ranking officials of the imperial court to nobles and nobles, they all came forward to ask for help, but none of them could convince Shi Kefa.

Wang Xiao's father, Wang Yihe, even went to Guangdong, not for anything else, but to transfer some family property to Guangdong, and at the same time planned to secretly send some direct children to Guangdong.

Already ready to give up the foundation in Hangzhou.

There is no Wang Xiao's name in this list, but Wang Xiao doesn't blame his father, because his father is not on the list either.

Wang Yihe planned to sacrifice himself, let alone a son of a concubine like Wang Xiao.

However, the Wang family did not intend to leave like this. On the one hand, they were escaping, and on the other hand, they also wanted to take revenge. Once the fish died and the net was broken, Shi Kefa sent people to raid the Wang family. Wang Yihe did not intend to live anymore. Lost Shi Kefa.

When the situation was so critical, Wang Xiao unexpectedly opened up Shi Kefa's network and got Shi Kefa's promise to let him go. When the news spread to Hangzhou, Wang Yihe was not happy, and he had to look at this concubine's son differently.

Soon he received a letter from Wang Xiao, saying that he had participated in the grand meeting to promote Zhou Yanru's reunification, which made Wang Yihe feel even more incredible.

Wang Xiao's proposal to help Zhang Pu operate the remittance of the money to Beijing was the finishing touch. Wang Yihe made a promise at that time that after Wang Xiao returned from Beijing, he would transfer the entire Yangtze River to Beijing. Bei's business was entrusted to him, and he was asked to open up the Wang family's business to Beijing.

But after Wang Xiao returned from Beijing, his father broke his promise, and finally only handed over the Nanjing business to Wang Xiao.

The Wang family is mainly engaged in the canal business, and what they do is to connect goods from the north to the south. The two capitals in the north and the south have never been able to open up the situation. The grocery store in Nanjing originally planned to rely on the Yangtze River water conservancy to communicate the source of goods, but it has been half-dead these years, and it has to be filled every year. A lot of money went in, but there was no improvement at all.

This is simply a mess, so it was thrown to Wang Xiao.

Apart from being wronged by this, Wang Xiao had no choice but to swallow the bitterness.

Who told him that he wasn't the son of a direct descendant? He had made such a great contribution this time, so he thought he could improve his status.

It's not because Wang Xiao was born by a concubine, and not a serious concubine, but was actually born by his father and a maidservant, who gave birth to a boy before being promoted to concubine.

Therefore at home, Wang Xiao is often scolded by his brothers and sisters as "born of a little maid" and "raised by a girl".

In the end, he was dispatched to Nanjing instead, and was given such a dilapidated shop.

"So in the future, I need the two brothers to take care of me."

Wang Xiao lamented.

Without the support of the behemoth of the Wang family, Wang Xiao really needs Yang Chao's care in Nanjing.

After hearing what happened to Wang Xiao, Yang Chao was also very emotional. The law of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulates that both the sons of wives and concubines have the right to share the family property equally. Even the sons of adulterers who have no status can get half of the property of other sons.

But the law of the Ming Dynasty exists in name only, and many rich and powerful families play with it recklessly. Even an official family like Zhang Pu, Zhang Pu was robbed of his family property by his elder brother when he was a child, let alone a merchant family like the Wang family who is not too scruples about face. Even more unscrupulous, with so many prostitutes in the Wang family, Wang Xiao would definitely not allow Wang Xiao to share as much property as them. After the lawsuit broke out, it would depend on whose relationship was stronger.

Wang Xiao doesn't have any advantage in this point. His big brothers who are wives and children have long controlled the core voice of the Wang family and mastered the core relationship of the Wang family. In a real fight, in Hangzhou, he has no chance of winning.

Yang Chao comforted him, "What do you care about or not? How can you say that you are a wealthy businessman, so you can be wronged."

Wang Xiao couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Brother Yang, you don't know something..."

It turned out that when Wang Xiao got Wang Yihe's grocery store business, the Wang family also cut off Wang Xiao's source of income.

Wang Xiao has received full support from Wang Yihe since he got in touch with Shi Kefa. In Wang's shop, Wang Xiao can withdraw cash at will.

After going back to hand in the task this time, Wang Xiao was also revoked the unlimited withdrawal right.

Now it can be said that he has nothing but the half-dead grocery store.

Knowing that even the source of income has been cut off, this is simply letting him fend for himself. It seems that this grocery store will be Wang Xiao's family business in the future. Once his father dies, he will definitely not get any share of the Wang family's property. This grocery store supports my family.

Yang Chao couldn't help feeling that this big family is really cold-blooded.

I can only comfort Wang Xiao: "Your father still cares about you, at least he sent this guard."

In order to express his love, Wang Yihe did send a guard to Wang Xiao. It was an old nursing home in his family, and he was very skilled, but Wang Xiao was not sure whether it was to protect him or to monitor him.

So even if it's just a guard, Wang Xiao has to say something nice: "Don't underestimate Mr. Jin. Although he has a lame leg, four or five good players may not be able to get into him."

Yang Chao praised: "So you are a martial arts master."

Wang Xiaodao: "What are martial arts masters? Mr. Jin has always been on the Liaodong battlefield."

Now, Yang Chao is really interested. He has been on the Liaodong battlefield, which means that he has fought against the Eight Banners of Manchuria. The limped leg is probably left at that time. He has fought against the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Injured, this is injured for the country, worthy of my admiration.

"Elder Jin fought against the Manchurians?"

Yang Chao couldn't help asking.

Jin Lao's face was dark, without a trace of expression, and his face would only move when he spoke: "Go back to your son, I've hit you."

Yang Chao said: "How is the fighting power of the Eight Banners?"

Jin Lao said: "Peerless in the world!"

Hearing from the people of the Ming Dynasty who fought against Manchuria's iron heels, Yang Chao thought it was credible, but he was not convinced. It was just that he had just escaped from the barbaric hunting army. How strong could it be?It can be stronger than the Huns, but not Genghis Khan's army.

"Is it really invincible?"

Yang Chao had heard rumors that the Eight Banners were invincible.

Jin Lao said: "What kind of shit is invincible, if the Qi family army is here, how can the Manchurian Tartars be so arrogant."

As Jin Lao said, he faintly revealed a sense of pride.

Yang Chao didn't think too much about it. Qi Jiguang was indeed a figure worthy of the pride of Ming Dynasty people. Literati didn't take him seriously, but he was still very prestigious among warriors.

It is said that Qi Jiguang beheaded 15 enemies in his life, most of them were from the Mongolian cavalry who invaded Jiliao, and a small part were the heads of Japanese pirates who passed him down through the ages.

Qi's army was able to kill 15 Mongolian cavalry, and it didn't make sense to kill not only the Manchu clan with a population of less than 20.

It's a pity that the politics of the late Ming Dynasty did not allow another Qi Jiguang to appear. Even if someone had Qi Jiguang's ability, he did not appreciate a political figure like Zhang Juzheng who supported him.

"Okay, brother Yang, it's important to get down to business. When do you plan to open?"

At this moment, Wang Xiao interrupted the conversation between Yang Chao and Jin Lao and asked.

Kang regretted: "It hasn't been decided yet, I will wait until you come back to choose a date."

Yang Chao said: "You don't need to choose, it will be good the day after tomorrow."

Wang Xiaodao: "The day after tomorrow? Have you checked the auspicious days?"

Kang Hui shook his head, and was also a little puzzled by Yang Chao's selection of the day after tomorrow: "The day after tomorrow is October."

Yang Chao said: "That's right, the first day of October, what a great day!"

Wang Xiao and Kang Hui are relatively strange, what kind of a good day is October [-]st?

Yang Chao was noncommittal, just smiled: "Okay, let's make it the day after tomorrow. Hurry up and prepare, and then you can post."

That night, it started, exactly the same as the last gathering, Yang Chao sent posts to brothels and famous people, Wang Xiao invited wealthy businessmen, and Kang Hui invited some talented people!
When we first came to Meilou, we had to discuss it with Gu Mei. The performance on that day had to be unique, and we couldn't do without some preparation.

Yang Chao made an agreement with Gu Mei first, the Jinchai Tower will open in the future, and hundreds of distinguished guests will be invited, so Gu Mei can spare time to play and sing live.

Yang Chao made sure that Gu Mei planned to play and sing those tunes, and he recorded the titles of the tunes one by one as the program list.

As one of the Four Famous Prostitutes, Gu Mei came to the song as soon as she opened her mouth, so she didn't need to prepare at all, but Yang Chao did.

After confirming the performance schedule with Gu Mei for that day, Yang Chao was about to leave. Before parting, Gu Mei still emphasized the owed poem, and Yang Chao could only nod his head and apologize and said that he would definitely pay it back.

After leaving Meilou, Yang Chao went to Bian's house.

Liu Rushi returned to Nanjing, but did not live in Meixianglou, but in the Bian family, with the Bian family sisters.

Yang Chao didn't know if it had something to do with Liu Rushi's promise to perform in Jinchailou, because Li Xiangjun didn't agree, and Liu Rushi couldn't live in Meixianglou, otherwise it would be inconvenient.

The sisters of the Bian family still didn't give Yang Chao a good look, and only maintained the superficial politeness.

Yang Chao had met Liu Rushi, so he also wanted to confirm with Liu Rushi the process and time of the performance.

Liu Rushi said that he would not sing any more, nor would he appear alone, so he would just be a foil for others.

At the same time, Liu Rushi hoped that Yang Chao and Li Xiangjun could resolve the misunderstanding. The relationship between Yang Chao and Li Xiangjun was firstly because of Ruan Dacheng, and secondly because of Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi himself will persuade Li Xiangjun, and at the same time hope that Yang Chao will break openly with Ruan Dacheng, and at the opening meeting of Jinchai Building, publicly announce that he has broken up with Ruan Dacheng, so that Li Xiangjun will have no pimples in his heart, and he will naturally reconcile with Yang Chao.

This Yang Chao couldn't agree, he was not a politician like Qian Qianyi, he was not that shameless.

After taking advantage of Ruan Dacheng, and then publicly breaking with others, I can't do it myself.

Although Ruan Dacheng was a traitor in history, it hasn't happened yet, and a person cannot be tried for a crime that hasn't happened.

And in the interaction with Ruan Dacheng, after all, it was Yang Chao who benefited.

Without Ruan Dacheng, it would be impossible for Yang Chao to play tricks in the city of Nanjing under the pretense of helping Zhou Yanru meet again.

There will be no reputation that can support a brothel now.

Moreover, when Yang Chao was going to deal with Xu Zhongxiao from Jinyiwei's hundreds of households, Ruan Dacheng's help was sincere. He not only wrote to Shi Kefa, but also asked Shi Kefa to help, which delayed Xu Zhongxiao in prison for more than half a month. In the end, the Gu family had to come forward to deal with Yang Chao. The transaction was released.

Liu Rushi was a little surprised by Yang Chao's refusal. Ruan Dacheng was just a remnant of the eunuch who everyone shouted for beating. Yang Chao couldn't afford to stick with him.

Liu Rushi couldn't help but feel that she didn't see Yang Chao clearly either. She used to think that Qian Qianyi was an upright gentleman with ambitions for the country and the people, and that Yang Chao was a big broker who was ungrateful for profit. The most important villain, Yang Chao is not all ungrateful.

For a moment, Liu Rushi had deep doubts about her vision of seeing people. Could it be that she had faded out of the brothel for too long, her vision was bad, or her vision had never been accurate.

Finally, Yang Chao memorized the names of the songs that the sisters of the Bian family and Liu Rushi were going to play and sang, and told them to send someone to pick them up on the fifth night of October, and see you then.

Then Yang Chao went straight back to the Jinchai Tower, except for such famous prostitutes who needed to come out in person, the others didn't have to come out on their own.

All that is left now is to wait for the opening on October [-]st. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
