That night, the people in the Lin Mansion went to bed early, but the people in Fengyang City couldn't sleep. This morning's notice shocked all the merchants in Fengyang City. Lin Feng's words in the court The two lines of the first couplet made it difficult for all civil servants to sleep.

His Majesty personally decreed the establishment of a royal brewery, and Immortal Drunk has since been taken over by the royal family. More importantly, his Majesty actually used [-]% of the profits to attract investment. Although there are only ten places, it has deeply affected the entire Dayan business community.

The Dayan Dynasty was engaged in agriculture, industry and commerce. Is your Majesty's move intended to elevate the status of businessmen?

When the news came out, all the merchants were very excited. The small merchants watched the excitement, and the big merchants were eager to try. They began to raise money frantically, striving to be successful in the bidding meeting five days later.

In addition to merchants, court officials also began to take action, raising money everywhere, selling land for those who had land, and selling shops for those who had shops.

Which of the officials in Dayan doesn't have hundreds of acres of land or a few shops. It's just that it's not convenient for them to run the business themselves. In short, they want to be shortlisted at all costs.

Lin Feng wrote eight poems in one breath in the court, and also wrote two first couplets. The story of Huangfu's success and the conferment of a young sage on his own terms began to spread widely among the powerful elite of Dayan.

The appearance of Lin Feng was like a dazzling new star suddenly appearing in the dark sky, making the originally bright stars suddenly eclipse.

Donghuamen Street.

Juxian Building.

The Juxian Tower in Fengyang City and the Juxian Tower in Jiangling City are both properties of the Lu family, the four major families of Dayan. After dark, people come and go in front of the Juxian Tower, and business is particularly hot.

In a private room on the second floor, four figures sat opposite each other. These four people were the representatives of the four great families of Dayan in Fengyang City, Xiao Zheng of the Xiao family of Changzhou, Lu Chang of the Lu family of Yongzhou, Qizhou Shangguan Yunhe from the Shangguan family, and Su Ming from the Su family in Yangzhou.

The four people were not only representatives of the four major families, but also senior officials of the imperial court. Xiao Zhengguan was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lu Changguan was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Works, Shangguan Yunhe was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Su Ming was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The representatives of the four major families in the imperial court were all third-grade ministers. This was the result of deliberate suppression by successive emperors of Dayan. Faced with the strong suppression from the royal family, the four major families could only choose to obey.

"His Majesty and Lin Feng established the Royal Brewery and used [-]% of the profits to attract investment. What do you think?"

As the host of Juxian Tower, Lu Chang was the first to speak.

"I think our four families must account for four of the ten places. We will do our part to honor the plaque of serving the people with integrity. In short, it is in the current interests of our four families to be on good terms with His Majesty," Su Ming said.

"I agree with Brother Su. Currently, Lin Feng is the only one who knows the brewing technology of Immortal Drunk. Coupled with the golden name of the royal family, it will definitely be a profitable business. We must participate in it." Xiao Zhengdao.

The four people nodded in unison, and a unified opinion was quickly reached on this issue.

"I never expected that the Lin family in Jiangling City would have such a remarkable person. His Majesty would take him so seriously at such a young age. He would rise from a white man to a member of the sixth rank of the cabinet, and he would also become a celebrity in front of His Majesty."

"Not everyone is qualified to serve in the cabinet. Since the founding of the Yan Dynasty, only Wang Zhougong has held this position. Your Majesty is training Lin Feng as a future cabinet minister. Why haven't we noticed this before?" Shangguan Yun said. Crane shook his head with regret.

Xiao Zheng nodded, "Yes, this boy is really a monster. He wrote eight poems in one breath in the court, and all of them were famous poems. He also gave us two absolute first couplets, which made my head spin. I thought it hurt but I didn’t admit it. I wonder if Brother Su has recovered?”

Su Ming's face darkened, and then he shook his head, "I never thought about it, and I don't know how this kid's head grew. He actually came up with two such tricky first couplets. With this level of difficulty, I guess I will never be right for the rest of my life." Don’t come out.”

Lu Chang smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't think you two should think about it. We still have Shangshu and Ge Lao above us, so let's give them a headache!"

"Brother Lu, please stop making sarcastic comments here. You and Brother Shangguan are military commanders, so of course it doesn't matter to you. But Brother Su and I are civil servants who came from the imperial examination. How can we let Lin Feng, a young boy with yellow hair, overpower us?" Xiao Zheng said angrily.

"Okay, okay, okay, I didn't say it, but to be honest, this matter is really troublesome. It will be the first day of June in three days. If you civil servants haven't answered the letter by then, what if His Majesty asks about it in the court, haha !That scene..." Lu Chang said with a look of gloating.

"I think you civil servants should seize the time to hold a meeting in the next three days to carefully study how to write the second couplet, so as not to be unable to come up and down in the court." Shangguan Yunhe also watched the excitement and did not think it was a big deal.

"You generals, don't get too happy too early. If one day Lin Feng doesn't like you, and a huge problem arises for you, what will you do then?" Xiao Zhengdao.

"Brother Xiao, what big problem can our generals have? The biggest problem is the art of war. Every general in the dynasty has not fought ten or eight battles with Bei Yuan? That guy Lin Feng has never even been on the battlefield. , how can he be our opponent?" Lu Chang said confidently.

"Brother Lu, you can't be too secretive in what you say. That boy Lin Feng is a monster. He can write four war poems in one breath, which shows how familiar he is with marching and fighting. You generals should have done it earlier. Get ready! Don't be embarrassed when the time comes!" Xiao Zhengdao.

The atmosphere between Lu Chang and Xiao Zheng was getting stronger and stronger. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Su Ming quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic. This morning, Tian Shao, who is in charge of the grain business of my Su family in Fengyang City, suddenly reported that Lin Feng informed him that he would have a meeting at Qingyuan Teahouse tomorrow morning and wanted to discuss grain with him. question."

"Oh, regarding this matter, Fang Zhen, who is in charge of the grain business in Fengyang of my Shangguan family, also reported it." Shangguan Yunhe said.

"Ye Chun, the grain merchant under my Xiao family, also reported this matter." Xiao Zhengdao.

"Lu Feng, the grain merchant representative of the Lu family, also personally came to ask for instructions. It seems that Lin Feng wants to hand over the grain business of the Royal Brewery to us." Lu Chang said.

"The Royal Brewery needs a large supply of grain, and our grain merchants are the four largest grain stores in Fengyang City. Lin Feng can only seek cooperation with us." Su Ming said.

"Providing food to the Royal Brewery is considered an imperial merchant. What I mean is that fully cooperating with Lin Feng is also a favor to His Majesty. What do you three think?" Xiao Zhengdao.

Su Ming, Lu Chang, Shangguan Yunhe nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then we have agreed that today's meeting will end here. I will go back if I have something to do at home."

Xiao Zheng stood up and walked out, and a secret gathering of the four major families ended.
