When leaving Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Feng Ziying felt a lot more confident.
Having expressed his intentions so openly, if King Zhongshun cannot convey his intentions to the emperor, then this most loyal partner will not be worthy of the name.
From the beginning of the establishment of Haitong Silver Village, King Zhongshun has actually been bound to the Feng family to a certain extent. Many people in the outside world may not understand the value and significance of Haitong Silver Village, but Feng Ziying believes that King Zhongshun and Emperor Yonglong can see it. The future of this bank.
The participation of royal family members and a large number of gentry and merchants from the North gave Haitong Bank the weight of financial capital in a sense. If Jiangnan had already overwhelmed the North in terms of industry and commerce, then using financial capital to support it The idea of developing the Northland and controlling the industry and commerce in the South of the Yangtze River is not obvious yet, but as time goes by, such signs will soon become apparent.
In contrast, the commercial capital in Jiangnan seems to be much slower and hesitant in this regard. Of course, there are reasons for this. On the one hand, with developed industry and commerce, private capital has more channels to go; on the other hand, as the more powerful royal family The entry of clan capital makes Jiangnan commercial capital worry that its own interests will be damaged, so its enthusiasm is not too high.
These worries are understandable, but Feng Ziying will not wait for anyone, and the court and the current situation do not allow waiting like this.
Especially after Haitong Yinzhuang began to intervene on a large scale in the construction of port terminals, shipyards and ships in Denglai, the signs that Haitong Yinzhuang was bound to the imperial court became increasingly obvious.
Of course, Feng Ziying knew that this kind of binding had advantages and disadvantages, especially for a dynasty that was still in the feudal era and relied on field tax and salt taxes as its main financial income. Unstable or even barren financial income and unbudgeted expenditures made this Zhongyinzhuang could easily be brought down by a court that lacked credibility to support it.
But the benefits are also huge. The lack of competitors and a near-monopoly structure, coupled with the huge opportunities that may be brought about by the industrial, commercial and colonial undertakings that are about to flourish, may also make Haitong Yinzhuang gain huge benefits.
This era where risks and opportunities coexist, that is, the best and worst era, depends on whether you can grasp it.
Although King Zhongshun may not have a deep understanding of finance, he can understand that if the bank is bound to the court, as long as the court does not fall, then this kind of income will always be guaranteed, and if the court really falls, then the money It was meaningless to him, the emperor's compatriot, so his attitude was very firm.
Because of this, Feng Ziying dared to tell the other party her thoughts and intentions calmly without worrying about anything else.
It's just a very simple request. Emperor Yonglong used to worry about himself just because he felt that he was a little drifting, and wanted to suppress or beat himself up, but it took so long, especially when he was facing the pressure of the Supreme Emperor and when he was about to leave? Feng Ziying believed that Emperor Yonglong should give a result soon.
Plan before taking action? Never fight an unprepared battle. This is Feng Ziying's style.
When you return to the house? It's already Shen Zheng time.
Seeing that Jia's carriage was still in the yard, Feng Ziying knew that all the girls hadn't left yet.
As soon as I stepped into the flower hall, I heard a lot of noise and excitement from the Nuang Pavilion.
As expected, a group of people gathered around the table, happily playing mahjong, a new type of entertainment that they had worked so hard to design and produce.
Except for Shen Yixiu, Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Tanchun all did their part, but Second Sister You, Baochai, Yingchun, and Xichun sat aside and watched the battle.
"Two barrels!"
"Open the bar!" Seeing Tan Chun play a card, Xiangyun clapped his hands happily, "Girl Tan is really a good sister? Not like Sister Lin? She thinks twice about every card she plays, and she is not grand at all!"
Lin Daiyu sneered, "You have to ask others to play cards for you, draw Kongs for you, and give you random cards to be called grand. I don't think that's called grand. It's called money and many people are stupid, right?"
One sentence made Baochai and the girls around them laugh out loud. But Tanchun blushed angrily, "Sister Lin? I don't want this card, and I can't afford it. The only way is to knock it off. Just now, Sister Shen Don’t you think so? Should we get rid of this kind of card as soon as possible?..."
"Sister Shen said that? But she also said to observe? Especially when the upper and lower cards are broken, but no one is played, you should be careful. You see, four cards have been played in three tubes, and one tube has not been played. There is only one card left, and if you obviously play the card, you will be easily touched or cheated,..." Lin Daiyu pouted.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Shen Yixiu would become a mahjong master in just a day or two? Can you still teach the skills of mahjong to these sisters?
"I thought someone might touch her, but I can't afford it..." Tanchun was still unconvinced.
"Actually, what Sister Lin and Third Sister said are right. According to what Brother Feng said, it's just a matter of probability, well, or just luck..." Shen Yixiu liked this lively scene very much, although Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and The three girls in Tanchun were noisy, but the more they were like this, the closer they seemed to be.
When Feng Ziying walked into the flower hall, Shen Yixiu saw her and stood up quickly, "My husband is back?"
All the girls also stood up and whispered, "Brother Feng is back."
"Eh, eh, sisters, please stop being polite and keep playing. I could hear Sister Lin and Third Sister bickering. Sister Yun was gloating about others' misfortune and deliberately started a war..."
Feng Ziying's words immediately triggered Shi Xiangyun's rebuttal: "Brother Feng, since when did my little sister take pleasure in others' misfortune and start a war? You are pouring dirty water on my little sister. Look, Tan Yatou and I are the losers. Shen My sister and Sister Lin won money, and there is no more money left in front of Sister Lin. You are still making fun of me and Tan Yatou. It’s so unfair..."
Feng Ziying also laughed loudly, "Look, this sister Yun's mouth is never forgiving. She will always get people out of her mouth as soon as she speaks. When did I make fun of the third sister? You have played the third sister's card. You have won money from Third Sister, but you still want to form a united front with Third Sister? Third Sister, can you agree?"
Feng Ziying's words made everyone laugh again. Even Tanchun, who was still a little angry, was also amused. The atmosphere was really very pleasant.
"Brother Feng, Sister Shen said that you came up with it yourself and had someone make it. How could you come up with such a thing? Are these things also in the book?" Shi Xiangyun was very puzzled by Feng Ziying, a second-class Jinshi, a Hanlin Academy scholar. How can I have these thoughts to think about this, and it is extremely interesting.
"That's wrong, Sister Yun. This is also the inspiration you gave me when you played with horse tags that day. In fact, many people play with these things by the canal, but they all use paper to draw some symbols. It's very rough, and it's not as exciting as making it with this kind of bamboo. Don't you think it's more powerful than playing cards?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "And the gameplay is also richer. For example, in addition to doubling the kong tiles, all If they are all touching cards or three of the same cards, this is called a pair of cards; another example is if two of the cards in your hand are the same, and the last single card is the same as the card played by others or the card you touched yourself, it is also counted. Hu cards,..."
Yesterday, Feng Ziying and Shen Yixiu only taught the most basic rules of playing cards. However, there are too many ways to play mahjong tiles. They can be continuously enriched as they become more proficient. For these girls who stay at home for a long time, it is also a good way to kill time. Way.
For the girls, Feng Ziying's performance also surprised them. No one thought that Brother Feng had talent in this area and could create such a way for everyone to entertain. This is different from Brother Feng. The impressions of Jinshi and Hanlin Academy editors are greatly inconsistent.
It wasn't until the girls were sent away that Shen Yixiu returned to her husband and said in a manly voice: "Ms. sir, these sisters are actually quite nice. I hope they can come to the house often."
"Then you can invite them here often, especially after I go out. You have to keep in good health and should not go out too much. So please invite the sisters to come and sit more often, play with you, and talk. I think it will also be good for you. It's good for your body and mood." Feng Ziying looked at her wife lovingly, "And..."
"Besides, Sister Lin and Sister Xue will become sisters-in-law with me sooner or later. Having a good relationship earlier will also reassure our husband, right?" A smile appeared on Shen Yixiu's face, "I would also like to thank my husband for trying every means to do this. With this mahjong tile, everyone can have better leisure and entertainment together, which can also resolve the embarrassment of lack of topics sometimes.”
"It seems that Wanjun and the sisters are getting along very well?" Feng Ziying was also a little relieved. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about Daiyu. The key lies in Baochai. Although he had told his wife in advance, she also seemed Very generous, but after the Emperor Yonglong's request for reinstatement, if he wanted to be engaged to the Xue family, it might cause some problems.
"Don't worry, my husband, I know what to do." Shen Yixiu glanced at her husband and seemed to notice some of his worries, "The Lin family sisters and the Xue family sisters are very easy to get along with. Although the Lin family sisters are a bit hot-tempered, But she has a good heart, not to mention the Xue family sister, she is a generous character..."
Feng Ziying didn't expect that after only two or three contacts, Shen Yixiu could roughly figure out the temperament of Daiyu and Baochai, and laughed, "Wan Jun, when you say this, I feel at ease. In fact, I designed this mahjong tile." That is to say, I hope you can have more opportunities to get along with them, so that I will not let you go and be too lonely in the future."
Shen Yixiu felt sweet in her heart. She had actually guessed this. Otherwise, how could her husband have the time to do this because of his busy schedule? This affection made her even more intoxicated.
