Chapter 746: Cheng Chumo
Section 746 silent
The old man of the Cheng family has returned to Beijing.
Qin Lang went to Xianyang to greet him in person, but he hadn't seen him for a few years.
The two hugged each other, Qin Lang patted Cheng Chumo, "This bearded face is thick enough, the person is dark, and the belly is also fat."
Cheng Chu laughed silently, "In Saishang, it's either beef, mutton or cheese all day long. It's hard not to lose weight. If I stay any longer, I guess I'll lose three hundred catties."
"Now it's about two hundred catties, right?"
"More than two hundred points."
Qin Lang was dumbfounded. When Lao Cheng followed him to Fengzhou, he only weighed more than one hundred catties, but now he weighs two hundred and five catties. The cattle and sheep in Hetao are really fat and nourishing.
"Sanlang still hasn't changed, he still looks like a boy." Lao Cheng laughed.
"Let's go, I've booked a table for you at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Pingkangfang, and arranged for a girl to welcome you!"
"That's good, remember to call Captain Wei Chi's second son and the others. They have been away for several years. I miss you all in Saishang."
Lao Cheng was transferred back to Beijing this time, which is regarded as a promotion. He was originally the governor of Shengzhou, and later became the governor of Shengzhou. However, Shengzhou belongs to Xiazhou. At the beginning of Zhenguan, it was an empty city. Qin Lang killed Liang Shidu and Yuan Junzheng , Drive away the Turkic people, it can be regarded as the restoration of state governance.
After that, the Eastern Turks perished, and Shengzhou, as a city on the edge of Hetao, was considered more important. The imperial court immigrated to the border every year, dispatched criminals, and resettled many Turkic descendants. The population increased, but that place was not The desert belongs to the Gobi and grasslands, and it is difficult to develop for a while. It is only because of the Hetao Canal that Qin Qiong and Qin Lang advocated the construction of the Hetao Canal when they were in office that Shengzhou can develop a little bit.
In the past few years, relying on the frontier fortress Taiping, engaged in some livestock processing, and relying on the border market, it is not bad.
Old Cheng has been there for a few years, and there is no credit but hard work. After this exam, he was rated as a top class, so he was promoted.
"Do you know where to tune?"
"I don't know yet, tell me where to tune it?" Old Cheng was a little curious.
"East Palace, Zuo Wei led, General Lu Ben Zhonglang, is still the fourth rank, but your original rank has been brought up for you, General Zhuangwu." Qin Lang did not tell Lao Cheng that he could be transferred back to Beijing, and he was still the one who checked the school. The arrangements made by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials during the exams, including his promotion to the fourth rank, were also mentioned in the political affairs hall.
"Thank you!" Old Cheng is very clear. In terms of seniority and political achievements, he will not be able to rise to the fourth rank so soon. Although Lu Ben Zhonglang General of the East Palace is also a fourth rank, he is at the same level as the governor of Xiazhou before him. , but the difference is still huge.
The governor of Shengzhou is quite high-ranking, and can be used as a frontier state. In fact, he is highly qualified. If he is transferred to another position, he may sometimes be downgraded.
The Lu Ben Zhonglang General of the Eastern Palace is different. He is in charge of a thousand Lu Ben army, and the real military position of the Eastern Palace, especially if he can become the prince's confidant, has a bright future.
It doesn't matter at all, how could it be possible to get in?
Not to mention the governor of the poor state, even the Zhonglang general of the various guards may not be able to transfer in smoothly.
Thinking about the previous Luben Zhonglang generals, Gao Zhensheng, Liang Jianfang, Gao Kan, and others, they are all third-rank positions now, and they have all been promoted to the governor of Longyou.
Pingkangfang.
Yuchi Baoqi and his brothers were already waiting there, along with several old friends in Beijing.
The two brothers returned to Beijing with their father, Yu Chigong. Yu Chigong had been calm in Shannan for several years. This time, he was suddenly promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War and entered the Political Affairs Hall as Minister, and the two brothers were also transferred back to Beijing.
"Damn it, you're actually a loyal general, bah!"
When the two Yuchi brothers saw Cheng Chumo and heard this guy eagerly showing off, they all spat in the past. Because their father was demoted to Shannan in recent years, their official careers were also greatly affected.
"Baolin Baoqi, what are your duties when you return to Beijing this time?" Chu Mo asked pretentiously.
"Decree of the Chang'an Arsenal!" Pauline didn't hide it. This is the chief of the Chang'an Arsenal under the Weiwei Temple.
"How about you, Baoqi?"
"Zuoweicang Cao joins the army!" Bao Qi replied angrily, this is only a small official of the eighth rank, and it is too far from Cheng Chumo's fourth rank Lu Ben Zhonglang. But there is no way, who wants to say that after the Xuanwu Gate, his father was so bloated that he dared to insult the Prime Minister Shangshu at every turn, and even dared to beat the prince at the palace banquet, almost blinding one of Li Daozong's eyes, the bloat was too much, The emperor was very dissatisfied, and finally drove him to Ezhou. He missed all the important battles in the past few years.
Served as the governor of Ezhou, but he did not do well, and was impeached several times.
Originally, the Xuanwu Sect was ranked first in meritorious service, on the same level as Qin Qiong's eldest grandson Wuji and the others. As a result, after a few years, Qin Qiong became a Taiwei, and his eldest grandson Wuji became a Situ.
Father was pushed to the ground and rubbed against the ground. Of course, being a son is not much better. The local government has worked hard for several years and has not been promoted.
Cheng Chumo, an old man, was lucky. Earlier, he followed Qin Lang to Fengzhou, fought against the Turks, and conquered Shengzhou. He picked up a deserted Shengzhou and stayed there for a few years, so he was able to get promoted all the way. Now it’s all **** Sealed as the Founding Marquis, he is now at the fourth rank.
I can vomit blood just thinking about it.
The two brothers thought about it more than once, why didn't they stay in Hetao well back then, Baoqi also went to Fengzhou with Cheng Chumo and accompanied Qin Lang back then, and even led troops out of the town, but why did they go back later? It's good to go back once, a few years later, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chumo are already far apart.
He is the fourth-rank real power and full-time Lu Benzhong Lang, he is just a Zuo Weicang Cao joined the army.
"You're only in your early twenties, why are you so obsessed with officials? Are you afraid that you won't have a chance if you have talent? Come on, go in and drink!" Qin Lang looked at these guys who were competing for official positions there with disdain. childish.
"Tch, you, Qin Sanlang, have already been a first-rank official, of course it's not unusual." Several people despised him together.
Xiaoxiang Hall is still one of the three famous halls in Chang'an. Qin Lang is the major shareholder of this house, usually under the cover of Lin San, so no one dares to mess around.
The girls in the restaurant became popular one after another, all of them were celebrities who sold their performances but not their lives. If the families of famous families wanted to hold banquets, they were usually invited to host them. Check out their schedules.
However, today, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion received a personal notice from Lin San early on that Mr. Wei was going to entertain friends here, so he turned down all the entertainment, closed the museum, and the girls did not go out to pick up work, and all stayed to entertain Mr. Wei.
Hospitality of the highest standard.
"After a few years, the girls in Chang'an are still so beautiful!"
The old man Cheng Chumo has been eating sand in Shengzhou for several years. The females he can see on weekdays are either ewes or cows. It is rare to see a woman. When he sees an old Turkic woman, he feels pretty. At first glance, when I saw the top-notch girls in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, whether it was compatibility, clothing, or body and face, I almost jumped at them.
"Let's take a bath first, I've arranged girls for you, rub them well and soak them before drinking, or else you'll smell so bad that you could make the girls spit up!" Qin Lang waved his hand.
Cheng Chu waited silently for a group of guys, and immediately went away with a smile on his face.
The red ladies in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion sell their performances but not their bodies, but there are still girls who are both excellent in **** and art.
Several red ladies who were in charge of the family surrounded Qin Lang to show their hospitality, and they were all asking if there was any new perfume recently. Compared with the traditional incense, the Qin family's perfume was more novel and unique, not to mention the beautiful packaging, the exquisite The shape of the glass bottle makes it much more convenient to use the perfume.
And these perfumes have many fragrances, the most important thing is that they are expensive and rare.
Girls in Pingkangfang like to take out a bottle of Qin's perfume when they are gathering together, and put it on in public, which has a face.
The rarer and more expensive the perfume, the more it can overwhelm the crowd, and the more face-saving it is, it is quite different from incense in the house.
Half an hour later.
Cheng Chumo waited for a group of people to come out, all refreshed and all angry.
With the active atmosphere of Chang'an's top girls, this wine is even more refreshing.
Before the banquet ended, Qin Lang gave everyone a piece of paper.
This is the number of spices arranged by Qin Lang for each family. The division of fragrances is a game of sitting and eating fruit. It is divided according to the strength of each family, fully considering their official titles in the court and their influence in the folk area, etc. , It can be said that everyone has a share.
Those with strong strength will get more shares, and they will have the top spices, while those with lower status will get the spices with less benefits.
In short, all aspects have been considered.
Cheng Jia, Wei Chi's family and other upstarts, Qin Lang took their interests into consideration and won a good share for them. These people are Qin Lang's basic base, so of course he will give priority to them.
"That's it? Are those people going to stop making trouble?" Although Cheng Chumo has just entered Beijing, he also knows that many people have called for banning the sea recently. Following Qin Lang, the Cheng family not only invested in the Four Seas Commercial Bank, but also has a presence along the coast. Build your own workshop, and your own sea boat, etc.
"Shibo is the most profitable, with millions of moves. As long as all parties can take care of it, this matter can of course continue. If anyone is still dissatisfied and still wants to overturn the table, then he has to look at the people sitting at the table. Are these people willing?" Qin Lang said with a smile.
After this round of redistribution of benefits, although Qin Lang still retained a large share, he did give away a lot of profits. The Cheng family and other upstarts also cut their flesh, but those who lost the most and gave up the most profits were actually those on the southeast coast Tyrants, their share has been squeezed the most.
But this is a redistribution of interests, taking care of all aspects, trying to satisfy everyone, of course there will be dissatisfaction, but who has the ability to do right with the entire interest group?
If you want to overturn the table, you have to be an enemy of everyone.
"Let me tell you, this time, everyone will give some blood to make some profit, but I am trying to compensate everyone. As long as the table is not overturned, we will not lose money. If everyone still trusts me, Qin Lang , might as well increase the stakes and place more bets in the southeast. Now that the imperial court is going to open more than 20 new ports, this is an opportunity. Don’t miss it. Whoever makes the first move will be able to seize more opportunities. Spices make money, but after all, there are a lot of them, and sea trade is not just that little spices!"
Cheng Chumo glanced at his family's share, and put it in his arms with a smile, "Whatever Sanlang says, it's up to you. We always trust Sanlang. I played mahjong with Sanlang and played mahjong with the Supreme Emperor and earned the first pot of gold. All these years If you follow Saburo closely, you have already made a lot of money, so there is nothing else to say."
Brother Yuchi couldn't help saying **** when he heard this, he couldn't compare to Qin Sanlang, and he didn't expect to be suppressed by this old man from the Cheng family everywhere.
Don't believe in evil, turn around and get all your belongings out, and hand them all over to Sanlang, mother, with a wealth of wealth, this **** Cheng Chumo, makes people envious, jealous and hateful!
