Chapter five hundred and eleven
At noon on the second day, Binjiang Tower, one of the best restaurants in Xiamen, had already been booked. Now, the highest official in Fujian, Yang Feng stood in front of the Binjiang Tower in a regular suit and smiled and greeted the maritime merchants who came to the appointment.
"Hongyi Gong has long admired him!"
"Hello, Boss Ning!"
"Hello, Boss Bai, Boss Huang!"
Facing Yang Feng, who was standing at the door with a smile and greeting him, Hong Futong and the other five heads of the family were a little surprised. The dignified Marquis of Jiangning and the Grand Governor of Zhengnan actually stood at the door to greet them. If this was spread, they would be too proud. They could also say that they would be able to play with others in the future. If they saw that, the dignified Marquis of Jiangning and the Grand Governor of Zhengnan would invite them to the banquet and greet them personally. This was completely to support them.
Thinking of this, many people showed pride on their faces, and even a few people began to mutter in their hearts. It seems that the famous Jiangning Hou, who is usually famous, is just like this. Although he has made Noda's reputation in recent years, he has not let go of his figure and asks us for it now.
Without mentioning the various intentions, after welcoming everyone into the Binjiang Tower, everyone began to sit down with the host and the host. Yang Feng, who was the master and the most noble, naturally sat in the first seat. Hong Futong, who was the oldest and also faintly the head of the six major maritime merchants in Fujian, sat in the lower left head of Yang Feng, as the head of the Ning family, sat in the lower right head of Yang Feng, and the rest were very skillful in finding their own actions and sat down.
Everyone's table was a very large round table. When everyone sat down, the table was filled with dishes, and behind everyone was a maid. These maids were carefully trained by the restaurant to serve distinguished guests. They were all young, beautiful, smart and smart. After seeing everyone sitting down, they all stepped forward to pour wine for everyone.
"Come……"
Yang Feng was the first to raise it and was laughed at everyone, "This generation is my marquis who are all here. Today we meet for the first time. We will not say anything else about this first glass of wine. Cheers!"
Who dared not to give face to the toast of the dignified Marquis of Jiangning? Naturally, everyone raised their glasses with a smile on their faces and drank them all.
"This is the second glass of wine. I wish all the bosses a prosperous business and a prosperous future!"
"cheers!"
As soon as the second glass of wine was finished, Yang Feng raised his glass filled with fine wine, "For this third glass of wine, I will say sorry to you in advance. If I have any offenses in the future, I hope you don't be surprised! Come... Cheers!"
Hearing Yang Feng's words, many people's faces changed slightly and they couldn't help but look at Hong Futong sitting on the left of Yang Feng. However, Hong Futong raised his wine glass again without changing his expression and smiled: "Hello, you are so polite. You are the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty and have heavy troops in hand. Even if we merchants want you to offend you, they are not qualified."
Yang Feng's eyes flashed with a strange light and he nodded, "Okay... Mr. Hongyi said it well, come... let's drink this cup together!"
"cheers!"
After drinking three glasses of wine, Yang Feng and most people naturally remained calm. However, as an old man over 60 years old, Hong Futong couldn't stand drinking three glasses of wine in one breath. A hint of flush appeared on his face and apologized to Yang Feng: "Mr. Marquis is old and I can't drink it. I'm afraid I can't drink it with you anymore. However, if my uncle is happy, he can let the group of people next to him drink with you. I promise that they can definitely drink with you with the best!"
Yang Feng waved his hand: "What did Gong Hongyi say? Is this marquis the one who forces them to drink? Now the Japanese man invites you to come. First, we want to get to know all the merchants in Fujian, and second, we just want to be a peacemaker and match the things that happened to you and Governor Xia. I wonder if you can give me this marquis a little face?"
When everyone heard this, they thought that there was indeed no good banquet. After only three glasses of wine, they couldn't wait. Many people sneered in their hearts and began to fall silent one by one. Hong Futong closed his eyes and seemed to be closing his eyes to rest, and everyone didn't say anything.
Yang Feng's eyes swept around everyone, and he took all his expressions into his eyes. He immediately realized the smile on his face and began to calm down.
He picked up a lobster, put it on the plate in front of him and began to peel the shrimps. He said slowly while peeling it, "Yesterday, I heard from Governor Xia that you found him a few days ago and hoped that the court would continue to ban the sea, but he was rejected by Lord Xia. After being rejected, you were a little unhappy and threatened Lord Xia to organize a merchant to strike. Is that true?"
"Nothing happens!"
Everyone's heads were shaking like rattles, and Ning Yao even said, "The Marquis misunderstood. We have never said this. Lord Xia is a governor of a province. We are just a mere merchant. How dare we threaten the imperial court to be appointed? This is a serious crime!"
"Oh...it's true?"
"It's true, it's true. Even if I take the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard, I dare not act so boldly!"
"Well... it seems that Lord Xia misunderstood you."
Yang Feng nodded, and used chopsticks to dip the peeled lobster into his mouth with soy sauce from the plate. He showed a satisfied look on his face and praised, "Yes, the lobsters here are quite authentic!"
After finishing the lobster, Yang Feng wiped his hands with a napkin and smiled at everyone: "It seems that this lord has misunderstood you. I was shocked yesterday. I thought you really wanted to ignore the overall situation of the court and encourage merchants to stop the market and disrupt the order of the people!"
Hearing this, Hong Futong, who had originally closed his eyes and rested silently, twitched a few times and couldn't help but open his eyes again. However, everyone on the table took a breath. Who said that Jiang Ning Hou was just a martial artist who was playing tricks? Look at the big hat that was so skillful.
Speaking of this, Hong Futong could not pretend to be deaf and dumb. He sat upright and said seriously: "I dare not take this from the Marquis. Although I have little family resources, I usually thank the people around me to say "Hongyi" and call him "Hongyi", but I have no such great ability to make all the merchants in Fujian province stop the market. I hope the Marquis will clearly understand this matter. Otherwise, if there is a strike in the future, wouldn't it cause me and others to suffer an unjust injustice?"
