Seeing Yao Jianshe nodding, Feng Jun was worried and added cautiously: "Not only you, but all of us who have traveled through time can't take it lightly... This thing is life and death. Don't wait until Emperor Cao is about to ascend the throne. The fundamentals of the working class here Even if you can't appease the plate, you will all suffer."

"I know." Yao Jianshe looked equally cautious: "We have been working hard to expand the basic market, and at the same time we have not relaxed the work of infiltrating the power of the gentry."

"That's good."

Feng Jun tightened his collar in the cold wind: "Although the work in the north is difficult, it still needs to be done."

"Yes, you can see the representative at noon."

"Oh? Well, I'm interested."

After the conversation, the research team has already started to observe the next company: a sock factory.

Next, Mr. Feng Ge did not stop and spent the morning investigating all four modern enterprises in Meizi Lane, and gave many valuable opinions and suggestions.

After the investigation was completed, it was almost noon, and the new Yao Futai gave an order, and the motorcade set off, and the research team went straight to the Yanxi Building that had been arranged for a working meal.

Yanxi Restaurant is a high-end restaurant jointly funded and established by the municipal government, Tianjin Railway Station, Feihuying and other units. It is located at the most prosperous Shiziqiaokou in the old city of Tianjin.

This brick-and-concrete restaurant was built completely according to the standards of later generations, and decorated according to the standards of later generations. It is a stage to show the new life, and it is also a designated reception place for high-level people in Tianjin.Its interior is luxuriously decorated and covered with monitoring equipment, and it is also an important workplace for Tianjin Station to collect public opinion.

In front of the gate of Yanxi Building today, a group of progressives wearing sable and jade jade had long been waiting for Mr. Feng to visit.

Just as Yao Futai ushered Mr. Feng Ge out of the car, a group of smiling natives came up to him.At the same time, the well-prepared music team also played the joyful welcome music, and the scene was so enthusiastic that the heavenly girl threw flowers and loess onto the street.

Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, Yao Jianshe first introduced an indigenous guest to Feng Jun.This person is in his fifties, with a handsome appearance and a harmonious appearance. He is wearing a top hat, a suit, and a three-piece suit of trousers. At first glance, he can't improve any more: "This is Mei Qianhu, the president of the Tianjin Branch of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, a winery, The original shareholder of the leather factory, our handsome old friend!"

"It turned out to be Mei Qianhu, who has been admiring me for a long time!"

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, Minister Feng's visit to Tianjin is really a blessing for me in Tianjin's business community!"

... After some pleasantries, the second old man with a goatee, wearing a new-style machine-made high-grade cashmere trim, and silver-rimmed glasses was pushed to the front desk: "This is the second Jinshi in Wanli, former governor of Huzhou and Changzhou. , Mr. Cen Xiong Cen."

"Old Cen's Mansion Terrace, I have been admiring it for a long time!"

Chapter 699 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio ([-])

The three-story Yanxi main building is located at the corner of the street, and a parking lot is specially reserved in front of the door.Including the podium buildings on both sides, the three brick-concrete buildings are spread out in the shape of "入".

The entire Tianjin Yanxilou Hotel Group occupies a large area due to the need to arrange staff from different departments to be stationed there.The podium at the street entrance is just the facade, and there are auxiliary buildings such as the boiler room, administrative building, and laundry room behind the building.

A group of big men who came to have a "working meal" poured into the main building after meeting with the local "county prefects".

On both sides of the main building are halls with bright glass windows filled with round tables, which are specially used for wedding banquets, birthday banquets and other large banquets on weekdays.

New decoration, new dishes, new feeling.Since the opening day, Yanxi Restaurant has become the top brand of the new restaurant recognized by the local aborigines.

Nowadays, if you want to book a seat at Yanxi Tower, you have to have a seat at least three months in advance.

Of course, the boss does not need to make an appointment.Led by the lady in the red embroidered gold welcome robe, the distinguished guests went straight up to the third floor and filed into the "Emperor" hall.

The Dihao Hall is composed of two boxes of China Unicom and an attached tea room, with two large seats.

It is luxuriously decorated.High-grade creamy white pure handmade wool carpet, large mahogany round table with glass turntable, white porcelain tableware, gray marble independent toilet, deep black wine cabinet... If there is another 4K large-screen TV on the wall, two WIFIs will be erected underneath Speakers, throw a few Huawei iPhones on the table, and the ecological aspects of the wine market will be fully alive.

It's a pity that the latter types of electronic products are all lifetime series, and the time travelers can only rely on imports to survive.

Ordinarily, without the vocal equipment responsible for the noise, a little atmosphere will be lost.However, the ancients have solved this problem long ago, using the most advanced live band system.

As soon as the guests stepped into the box, the sound of pipa like strings of beads came from the tea room.After a while, the joyful sound of erhu and gong and chime joined in.After Feng Ge listened carefully, it was the live version of the pipa and erhu of "Wuhou Temple" that he was familiar with.

With a smile, the host and guest are seated, wine is served, and speeches are made.

Feng Jun himself doesn't drink much.But today's occasion, no matter how you say it, requires two drinks.So, for the first cup, the original whiskey liquid produced in Tianjin, the guests at the two tables got up one after another, wishing Marshal Cao in the south all the best and good health forever.

For the second cup, the waitress ordered Feng Ge to replace it with light beer.The rest of the natives turned a blind eye, and continued to hold the spicy white wine cups, smiling all over their faces, wishing Minister Feng a prosperous fortune and the title of Marquis.

The third cup, I wish Yao Tongban the same official luck and prosperity, and bless his hometown.

In other words, when he first started working in Tianjin, Yao Jianshe's external identity was just a businessman and liaison officer left behind by King Cao Zongbingqin.No official position, white body, not in the stream.

Later, the situation developed.Considering that the northern region cannot be as unscrupulous as the south, Yao Jianshe's identity has become a semi-official "Yao experience", which can be regarded as the private staff of a certain general.

Then last year, when the de facto government affairs building in Tianjin was completed, Yao Jianshe also had a new title: "Yao Tongban"... There is no public rebellion yet, and the government affairs building cannot be called the municipal government, so it is slightly covered up and listed as the Tongban building.

Pragmatic Daming natives don't care what their titles are at all.Whoever holds the wealth code in his hand, whoever holds the army in his hand, is the one that his family needs to post... Especially the image of the end of the world, no matter how dull a person is, he should think about it for his descendants and clansmen.

The three glasses of toasts were completed, and the program of adding vegetables was entered, and the atmosphere was relaxed.The soundtrack from the tea room also became a pipa adagio solo: "Daughter's Love".

Accompanied by the actor's melodious and delicate singing, Feng Ge, who was slightly drunk, began to chat with the guests at the same table while chewing peanuts in old vinegar.

Aside from the passers-by on the left, the person who was lucky enough to sit first on Feng Ge's right hand was the president of the chamber of commerce, Mei Qianhu.

Anyone who can sit in this position knows without introduction that this Mei Qianhu must be an indigenous representative of the local Goulian Cao's anti-thief group.

There was another whisper from Yao Jianshe, so Feng Jun knew that Mei Qianhu was not only an enlightened gentry, but also devoted himself to raising the eyes of the commander, and his son was also the commander of the reconnaissance battalion in Feihu Camp. The whole family belonged to the real deal It's in Cao Dashuai's car.

If the only son can control the strength of a battalion, he is definitely one of the "genuine red seedlings".So Mr. Feng Ge talked to Mei Qianhu for a few words, laughing and talking about the rumors during the period, it was enough to give Mei Qianhu face.

At the end of the day, Mr. Feng Ge, on behalf of Marshal Cao, invited President Mei to participate in the first "Canton Fair" opening next year, promising to introduce one or two emerging industries to Mei Qianhu.

Chairman Mei had no choice but to agree to Elder Feng Ge's invitation.With a flushed face, he feels the envious eyes from around him at this moment, and his soul seems to fly out of the top door.

Once upon a time, it was just the Mei family with thousands of idle households in the Tianjin Weisuo. Apart from a little wealth, what else was there?It's just a dick soldier.You have to kneel down to meet officials in any yamen, and no one treats the Mei family as a green onion, and there are many people who want to bite a few bites when they are fat.

Now, the old calendar has been turned over.The newly-emerged "Chairman of the Tianjin Branch of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce" is already the top figure in Tianjin's official market.Even if Mei Qianhu sees the second-rank governor of Tianjin now, that is the treatment of tea and heart-to-heart talk in the back hall, and she has really reached the pinnacle of life.

Tianjin was originally a commercial center, coupled with the development of industry and commerce in the past few years, it has led to an explosion of the city's bustling business environment.

Among the tens of millions of businessmen, there are only less than [-] natives who are eligible to sit in this imperial hall.Therefore, today's participants, without a doubt, are diehards who put their wealth on the line and "immerse themselves" in the rebellion.

These people are deeply entangled with the time-traveling forces.Although the imperial envoy Mr. Feng is only a vague call sign of "Minister Feng" to the outside world, but you have already found out the true rank of this gentleman in the Great Yan Kingdom through various channels.

This rank is roughly equivalent to the second assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty and the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

In the eyes of a knowledgeable person, the Second Assistant of the Great Yan Kingdom has a much higher gold content than those precarious officials in the Golden Luan Palace.That's why Feng Daqin sent just an invitation and a few promises, and Mei Qianhu's position in the "fan circle" was stable, and her temperament was well-controlled.

Just after chatting with Mei Qianhu, hot dishes at a running water price were served on the table.

Feng Ge first picked up a few chopsticks and stuffed the eight treasures into his mouth, and then tasted the unique mountain treasure Buddha Tiaoqiang in the north, and he was full of praise for its delicious taste.However, Feng Jun, who seemed to be busy eating work meals, inadvertently chatted with the next Cen Xiong, Cen Laofutai.

There is no doubt that Mr. Cen's retirement home has several brushes.Just a few glasses of wine time, start with "Farming and food, industry and business", and end with "The world is for the prosperity of the world", simple and easy, humorous, fully use Confucian classics, will not pay attention Business and industry, Chen Zhu, who only played empty talk about philosophy, sharply refuted it.

"Okay, okay!" Feng Jun didn't expect that such a person would appear in the northern gentry circle where the folk customs are conservative and information transmission is inconvenient.

According to the words of later generations, retired cadres like Mr. Cen, who are two-ranked Jinshi, belong to the rare explosive rate. They are the leading party that penetrates into the enemy's interior. Advanced figures of great wisdom!

Glancing at Yao Jianshe, who was smug, Feng Jun took the initiative to pick up a glass of white wine, and happily clinked glasses with the veteran cadre: "What the old man said, Feng Mou is enlightened!"

"Cen's nonsense, just laugh at it, laugh at it."

After drinking the wine in his glass, Feng Jun looked around and said with emotion: "Oh, if the gentry all over the world are as sensible as the old gentleman, our propaganda work will be much easier."

"Hehe. If it's just bickering and reasoning, the old man will be able to help you a little bit."

While speaking, Mr. Cen reached out his hand to touch it from behind, and a leather men's business handbag appeared in his hand.

The next moment, the old man unzipped the zipper, took out a stack of manuscripts, and handed it to Feng Jun with great care: "This is what I have obtained from pure thinking in recent years. My lord is from the Fang family. After reading it, I can definitely see that I have worked hard. If you are in a war of words with others, this article may help a little."

"Wow, what a surprise today!"

Feng Jun opened the manuscript and glanced at it, and he knew what it was: a testament to systematically criticizing Neo-Confucianism and touting industrialization!

Unlike the speeches at the wine table in the small circle just now, this kind of signed article that can be published publicly will really break with the conservative scholar-bureaucrat class once it is published.This pile of manuscripts is roughly equivalent to the head of his own family... Once Boss Cao fails to rebel, Lao Cen will have to flee to Nanyang.

Gently patted on the manuscript, Feng Jun would be too dull if he didn't understand the thoughts of the old cadre in front of him.

Zhen Zhen handed over the manuscript to his followers: "Put it away carefully, I will take a closer look at it tomorrow."

After confessing, Feng Jun turned his face, he knew it was time for a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone.

The next moment, Feng Jun stared at Cen Laofu, who seemed to be calm and breezy, and said slowly: "The old man is a man of the world and a great talent. I think if the commander-in-chief sees it, he must like it very much. I don't know if I have time. Follow me." Going to the South Region for a trip?"

As soon as Feng Jun finished speaking, the smart people on the field didn't know what was going to happen next...so the second round of envious death swept over...this time the energy was more abundant, that is, the level of crouching dragon and phoenix chick to resist.

Finally got the result he had planned so hard, the old Wolong Cen Xiong quickly let go of his reserve, bowed his waist and saluted: "Dare you not follow orders?"

At this moment, Cen Xiong didn't care about the complicated gazes around him at all.

That year, as a young man, he bid farewell to the young Emperor Wanli in the Golden Luan Hall with a big heart to take care of the world's affairs, and left Beijing to take office.Then, after going through the strife in the officialdom, he finally retired sadly and went home to be unemployed.

Now, decades have passed.It was also early spring, and he was going to show off his talent in front of another young king.

Isn't it just seeing you?done, cooked.

Chapter 700 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio ([-])

This old model play performed by Cen Futai today can be described as textbook style.The ending is also beautiful. Not only did he personally achieve his goal, but also the onlookers who witnessed the whole process also gained the spiritual satisfaction of "meeting the expectations of the public"... In the drama, the stories of Mingjun Xianchen, gifted scholars and beautiful women are not all like this Well.

After that, after realizing that the imperial envoy is actually a very smart and communicative person, the atmosphere of the work banquet entered a heated period.The aborigines, who were still a little cautious before, took the opportunity to talk to Minister Feng.People from the business community at another table also came over to toast and get acquainted with each other.

On this occasion, Feng Jun is naturally more than capable.Holding a glass of wine, touching this and that, talking and laughing happily, and taking a few chopsticks to fill your stomach, except for beer.

In this case, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, after almost all of them stopped eating, Yao Jianshe greeted everyone and went to the "Fu Gui" hall next door.

The circular sofa set, as well as tea and snacks have already been prepared in the Fugui Hall.

It seemed like a relaxing occasion for drinking and talking, but most of the participants lifted their spirits.They are not eligible to be taken care of by the boss alone, so they have been waiting for this moment.

After a while, after the tea was served, the agents screened away the idlers inside and outside.

Everywhere he goes, Feng Jun, who is responsible for distributing red envelopes to core supporters, knows what he wants to do.Next, the bosses from the core decision-making level, no matter how polite they are, first preached the major policies.

For any person in the industrial and commercial circles with a large-scale industry, the study of policy is a compulsory course, and this aspect is the same from ancient to modern.For the mansion newspaper in the yamen, merchants of all ages had the habit of paying for someone to copy it out and read it.

The major policies that Feng Jun spoke of today are even more special. They are forward-looking trends that cannot be bought with money.Even in the south, it is also strategic information that only a few people can access.

As a result, in the Fugui Hall where two NO. hard.

After spending a little time, Feng Jun picked and talked about some of the policies that the Great Yan Kingdom could make public in the next year or two.

After speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and sipped a few sips.After the whispering in the room disappeared, Feng Jun then talked about some specific investment information.

If some people in the strategic information room just now can't understand the spirit and can't combine it with their own business, what Feng Jun said next is very straightforward information.

For example, in the first half of the year, how many tons of materials does South China plan to ship to Tianjin by sea, and what is the proportion of the materials that are in short supply?In addition, while transporting materials, how many kinds of materials are planned to be purchased locally, and which ones are most in short supply in the south.

After Feng Jun finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Fugui Hall became hot as soon as he saw it.Most of the businessmen have bright eyes and happy faces.

However, the red envelopes have not been distributed.

As the newly appointed governor, Yao Jianshe naturally had some plans in mind.Next, he also added a few words... The content is that the old man plans to open some factories in some areas inside and outside the city, when they will be demolished, when they will issue shares, etc. These inconspicuous information.

After Yao Tongban added it, the people in the business circles were really overjoyed... This is purely a silver mountain falling from the sky!Earn money while lying down.

When he was happy, a short and fat man with gold teeth, gold jade and tie held up his teacup and said cheerfully: "Throughout the ages, the only ones who have been able to take care of me and other merchants are Marshal Cao and everyone. Your Excellency, everyone, let’s replace the wine with tea, and then thank the Marshal for his kindness!”

People who have achieved great benefits from their work got up one after another when they heard the words, praying again and again.

Standing up and having a sip of tea with everyone, Feng Jun sat back on the sofa, folded his hands on his slightly fat belly, and said with a smile: "You are all talented people, and you are the caring people of the commander. ,to whom?"

"No matter what happens, you must serve the commander in chief."

Seeing everyone's sincerity, Feng Jun nodded in satisfaction, then stretched out his hand to look at the gas needle on his wrist, and said bluntly: "Okay, I've almost finished what I should say. My schedule is tight, if you have anything else to say, now Just tell it, or we will break up without us."

"This is..."

The short, chubby, golden-toothed guy who spoke on behalf of the indigenous group just now made eye contact with the people around him, and after getting an affirmative answer, he turned around, smiled carefully and said to Feng Jun, "There is one thing, I don't know what to ask. Inappropriate to ask."

This short, fat man with a local dialect, his surname is Shi, and his name is Shi Quan.Shi Quan's family has a lot of money and has been running money and pawnshops for generations.He also donated money to the court to buy a fifth-rank official hat, and he is a serious candidate Wailang.

Shi Yuanwai is the head of the financial group of the Tianjin Branch of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which was established by the people across the country.Among the participants today, Shi Quan ranked third in importance.

The top-ranked indigenous dignitaries, Feng Jun, had been specially introduced early in the morning, and had just chatted and laughed with the historian during the dinner.

This meeting was so grand, and it was obviously a matter discussed internally. Feng Jun couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "It's all my own, but it doesn't matter."

"Then I'm taking the liberty... this... I heard that the commander-in-chief intends to distribute some debts... I don't know, is there a chance for me to repay you?"

"What am I talking about... is it this again?!"

Hearing this, Feng Jun lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brows with his middle finger, looking like he had a headache, and just muttered in public.

……

The problem just now, in the words of later generations, is that the local financial circles in Tianjin, represented by Shi Quan, want to underwrite the national bonds issued by the Great Yan Kingdom.

It must be a good thing if someone is willing to buy government bonds.But the question now is whether or not the Great Yan Kingdom needs to issue treasury bonds. This question is still under debate.

In fact, the issue of national debt was raised a few years ago.However, up to the cabinet, down to various interest departments, and even the general public, they have been arguing about this for more than a year or two, and there is no definite number until now, and it belongs to the topic of menstruation.

The faction that supports the issuance of national debt has a formal reason: national debt is used to absorb the idle funds of the indigenous landlord class, pay a certain amount of interest to the former, and then invest the funds in national construction. This is a good thing that all parties benefit from.

In addition, at the same time as the issuance of national bonds, it is also equivalent to testing the local support value of Dayan Kingdom by the way, giving the decision-making level a real-time statistical data from the side.
