"Okay, 50% is 50%!"
"But we have something to say first. You must move out all the things in Qunfang Building in the capital!"
Listening to Hong Laoliu's almost gritted teeth, Yang Dong was as steady as an old dog and nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, you should know what I'm thinking!"
On the other side, Yu Xiaoyu was shocked when he saw this scene.
He has always admired Yang Dong, but in his opinion, although the other person is older than him, he is not much older.
But now it seems that my young master is a true all-rounder.
The more you get along with him, the more you find that nothing seems impossible to him!
Even the deadlocked investigation, under his operation, turned around and turned around just by relying on a few letters.
Although the senior Hong Laoliu in front of him looked slovenly, he didn't have the image of a master at all.
But since he was invited by the master, he must have something special about him.
Yang Dong picked up the tea bowl and drank a drink with Hong Laoliu.
"make a deal!"
…
In the afternoon of that day, Yang Dong sent someone to the Ming Mansion to deliver a greeting card.
In Dazhou, even if you are invited, you have to send a greeting card first, and then go through the tedious steps of selecting gifts.
In his previous life, Yang Dong remembered that many people on the Internet said that Westerners had a sense of ritual when eating.
But they had no idea that in ancient times, the cumbersome etiquette of making a dinner date even made them feel at a loss.
If you really pay attention to the sense of ritual, the etiquette of Chinese food can surpass those in Western streets.
Yang Dong silently retracted his thoughts, and early the next morning, he boarded the carriage to the Ming Mansion.
The Ming Mansion is located in Wuzhou City, which is where they made their fortune.
In fact... the Xu family that was wiped out also made its fortune here.
It's just that the Xu family's sudden decline in fortunes surprised many people. Even many local people in Wuzhou City found it a bit unbelievable.
But this incredible thing really happened!
In the Ming Dynasty, a fat bald man holds Buddhist beads in his hand and listens to the housekeeper's report.
When he heard that Yang Dong actually came to the banquet, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But the surprise was fleeting, replaced by a serious look on his cheeks.
It seems that this Xichang factory owner from the capital is not just a loser.
The fact that he came to the banquet shows that he has seen something from it.
It's just...it's hard to tell whether Yang Dong is a friend or an enemy.
Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and then slowly said:
"In that case, please invite Mr. Yang to the living room."
…
Carved beams and painted buildings, small bridges and flowing water,
The decorative style in the Ming Dynasty is obviously different from that in Beijing and Luozhou.
The style here is to integrate the river into your own courtyard, especially the living water, which is the most attractive.
These water sources are all drawn from streams in the city.
In this era, there is no pollution. Therefore, the water is extremely clear, and you can even see koi in the stream, as if you were swimming in the air without any support.
Damn, these rich people really know how to enjoy themselves!
No, these four major families are not simply wealthy people. They are even more powerful.
Although they are not recognized by the Zhou royal family, they are no different from the Tu emperors in Jiangnan!
Yang Dong silently labeled the four major families in Jiangnan.
Immediately, under the leadership of the waiter, he came to a pavilion.
At this moment, Mingcheng, who was wearing a plain robe, was already waiting here on the pavilion.
And Yang Dong also met the patriarch of the Ming family, one of the four major families, for the first time.
They both looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.
Yang Dong was surprised that the head of the Ming family didn't look like a head at all, especially the big bald head, which, paired with the Buddhist beads in his hand, gave people the impression of Lu Zhishen.
Mingcheng, the head of the Ming family, was equally surprised when he looked at Yang Dong.
In the past few days, he has sent people to inquire about Yang Dong's deeds.
Especially when he learned that Lin Chunqiu had been defeated by Yang Dong, he immediately stopped his contempt.
What kind of person Lin Chunqiu is, the four major families will not know!
In fact, as early as decades ago, the four major families in Jiangnan had already tried every means to get involved in the court.
But they soon encountered extremely severe suppression!
Even the four major families in Jiangnan are a little unable to bear this severe suppression.
And the initiator of all this was none other than Lin Chunqiu, the Chief Assistant.
It was precisely because of Lin Chunqiu's move this time that he completely established his position in the court.
Since then, the entire imperial court of Zhou Dynasty has fallen into his hands.
Mingcheng coughed lightly and retracted his thoughts.
He knew that the young man in front of him who looked just a little handsome was actually a truly capable person.
If you dare to look down upon it, you will die miserably.
Then a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.
Under his initiative, the atmosphere of the entire dinner became extremely relaxed and comfortable.
After three drinks, it was time to get down to business.
Yang Dong and Mingcheng both knew this tacitly.
Because of this, Mingcheng's topic was introduced very easily.
"Mr. Yang, I heard that you went to Zhaoling Village a few days ago. I think you also know some things that happened in Jiangnan."
As soon as he said this, a look of doubt appeared on Yang Dong's cheek.
"What does the Master of the Ming family mean? I don't quite understand."
"All the villagers in Zhaoling Village have disappeared, but the government has not taken any action, not even sending people to investigate."
Speaking of this, a hint of anger flashed across Yang Dong's cheeks.
"To be honest, when I found out about this, I was extremely angry."
"After returning to Wuzhou City, I called the chief officer of Wuzhou and asked him about it. It's just...that I only found out that he didn't know about it!"
"Why does Patriarch Ming think this is?"
When Mingcheng heard this, his expression froze slightly. He looked at Yang Dong in front of him, but secretly cursed the little fox in his heart.
This kid was clearly pretending to be confused in front of him.
With his shrewdness, how could he not know who really has the final say on the boundaries of the four Jiangnan states?
This kid is clearly pretending to be stupid!
Mingcheng coughed lightly, suppressed his thoughts, and said with a smile:
"It seems that Mr. Yang only knows one thing and doesn't know the other."
"Actually... the situation in Zhaoling Village is more complicated than Mr. Yang imagined."
"Those people have more control over the government than Mr. Yang imagined."
