Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Fujia Pavilion.
Feng Yuncai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, is discussing important matters with several honorary presidents.
The Chamber of Commerce is a place to seek benefits for the individuals and forces who join the Chamber of Commerce, and everything is based on profit first.
This benefit not only includes money, but also house treasures, etc., and more importantly, connections.
The five honorary presidents plus the president, a total of six people, chatted with each other about the people with potential or huge backgrounds that they had recently discovered.
"I wonder how many of you have thought about Zhao Wujiang, the honorary president of our Liu family?" Liu Qingshan, the younger brother of Liu Wanshan, the Minister of Household Affairs, said in a deep voice.
"Hmph." The Qin clan snorted coldly:
"Liu Wanshan, you don't think Zhao Wujiang has great potential, do you?
He does have some connections and background, but he is still a eunuch after all. His power is limited, and his achievements are destined not to be very high.
So what qualifications does Zhao Wujiang have to make him worthy of our chamber of commerce's continued investment?
Don’t forget that Qi Lin, his friend, is already dead!”
"Qi Lin is dead, what about the other sword master who respects Zhao Wujiang very much?"
Feng Yuncai glanced at the people of the Qin family, groaned in his heart and said coldly:
"If you, the Qin family, feel that this master of the sword list named Li Yuanzheng is not enough, adding a daughter of the Jiang family, a well-known Jianghu family, will it be enough?
Zhao Wujiang's connections are not limited to Dijiao Gang leader Qi Lin! "
The honorary president of the Qin family was stunned. He did not expect that Feng Yuncai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, would value Zhao Wujiang so much and would support Zhao Wujiang so much.
"Is it possible that your Qin family has no intention of taking care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce? Are you so ignorant and ignorant?"
Another honorary president stood up to refute the Qin family. When Liu Qingshan of the Liu family said Zhao Wujiang's name, many people present were a little moved, but the Qin family wanted to act as a monster.
The honorary president continued in a deep voice:
"It is true that Zhao Wujiang is a eunuch, but he has good friends with the Dugu family and has a lot of connections with the Dugu family.
I have investigated Zhao Wujiang privately.
Before he was the chief steward of the harem, he had sat next to the head of the Dugu family at the banquet of the Dugu family, and had a very happy conversation with the head of the Dugu family!
Qin, do you think this is something ordinary people can do? "
The honorary president of the Qin clan looked a little livid and was a little shocked.
He knew that Zhao Wujiang had some connection with the Dugu family, but he always felt that this connection was just that Zhao Wujiang was licking his face to get to know the Dugu family, and the Dugu family ignored Zhao Wujiang.
But now that he heard the sarcastic rebuttals from the other honorary presidents, he realized that this origin was unusual.
Otherwise, how could Zhao Wujiang sit next to the head of the Dugu family at the banquet of the Dugu family, where there were so many dignitaries, and still have a pleasant conversation with the head of the Dugu family?
Liu Qingshan also looked gloomy and looked at the honorary president of the Qin family coldly:
"My brother has worked hard in the household department for many years and was not promoted.
But he was recently promoted to Minister of Household Affairs, and among them was Zhao Wujiang, Lord Zhao.
My brother specifically told me in private to thank Zhao Wujiang.
Someone who can promote the promotion of officials, you Qin asked me, what qualifications does Zhao Wujiang have?
Then I, Liu Qingshan, ask you now, what qualifications do you, the Qin family, have to question Mr. Zhao Wujiang and Zhao? "
The honorary president of the Qin family was livid. He raised questions about Zhao Wujiang, but he did not expect that he would be slapped in the face by the other presidents again and again, losing a lot of face.
But he had no way to refute it and could only endure it.
He never imagined that Zhao Wujiang's connections and background were so strong.
Not only the honorary president of the Qin family was slapped in the face, but also the other presidents were shocked by the meaning of Liu Qingshan's words.
Of course they knew about Liu Qingshan's elder brother Liu Wanshan's promotion to Minister of Household Affairs, and they were all secretly envious of him.
But on top of this, there was actually Zhao Wujiang's help, and they had to re-evaluate Zhao Wujiang's value in their hearts.
Zhao Wujiang's connections and background washed their minds again and again.
Seeing Qin's silence, Liu Qingshan's face was slightly cold but proud and admiring, and he continued:
"In the past two days, Zhongshu ordered a banquet in honor of all the officials. My brother went to the banquet. At the banquet, Mr. Zhao Wujiang asked all the officials present to donate money to replenish the national treasury...
I believe you also know how difficult it is to get officials to donate generously.
But just at this banquet, hundreds of officials donated money one after another, which eventually amounted to one million!
My brother participated in this matter and compiled the details. He told me about it afterwards, and his words were full of emotion. Mr. Zhao Wujiang Zhao can do what ordinary people cannot! "
The honorary presidents all took a breath of cold air and asked all the officials to take out their money. It was extremely difficult to do this. Even though many officials had extremely high salaries and had ways to make a lot of money privately, it was fine if the money went into their pockets. If you take it out, it won't work.
What method did Zhao Wujiang use, and why was he able to get those courtiers to donate money? What were the details?
The honorary presidents were overwhelmed with emotion and became increasingly unable to sit still.
They didn't know the details of the banquet or what methods Zhao Wujiang used, but there was definitely one thing behind this matter, and that was power!
Only when Zhao Wujiang has enough power or can draw on enough power can all the officials agree with him on this matter and donate generously.
Whether it is borrowed or owned, it shows one thing, that is, Zhao Wujiang's power is extremely impressive, and it is by no means just the power of a harem manager.
Feng Yuncai also exhaled slowly, trying to suppress the shock in his heart. He knew Zhao Wujiang's connections, background and abilities better than the other honorary presidents.
But compared to Liu Qingshan, he still knew much less. After all, Liu Qingshan's elder brother Liu Wanshan was an official in the court and served as the Minister of Household Affairs, and he was close to Zhao Wujiang.
He, Feng Yuncai, never expected that the power Zhao Wujiang could wield would be so great.
Now that he heard the news from Liu Qingshan, he felt a little regretful for not teaching his daughter Feng Xueer that her attitude towards Zhao Wujiang should always be the same.
After Feng Xueer learned that Zhao Wujiang was an eunuch, his attitude obviously declined. He knew about it, but he didn't do much to stop it.
Now he was filled with regret and shock, which made him sigh in his heart.
"Now, who else among you wants to question?" Liu Qingshan looked around the crowd and shouted in a deep voice.
