"You, a first-class imperial relative in Tianjing City, came here to earn the honor of being a martial arts examiner. Aren't you just eating enough to support yourself?"
Ji Yuan used his stunned expression very well to convey his true inner thoughts.
Who would have thought that this handsome young man with a rich and aristocratic look would have such a great background!
Why is Tongbao Bank so great?
It is the first commercial bank in the world!
It is the only official brand name of Jing Dynasty approved by the imperial court and recognized by six ministries!
Nowadays, the world's treasure banknotes are gradually being issued, and it comes from the hands of the big boss of Tongbao Bank.
There are hundreds of semicolons in every prefecture, prefecture, and county, and they are everywhere.
It specializes in deposits and withdrawals, exchanging gold, silver and copper coins, issuing payments and other main businesses.
If I have to make an analogy, it's probably the bank with Chinese characters in Ji Yuan's previous life, which was a four-in-one bank.
Therefore, some good people in Tianjing City often joke that the big boss of Tongbao Bank is the real Minister of Household Affairs.
He contributed a lot in providing disaster relief in disaster years and providing food in famine years.
When the saint came to the throne, even repairing the imperial city and building palaces were matters belonging to the Ministry of Works.
Everything is left to the big boss, which shows the solemnity of the holy family.
Of course, it is possible to create such a bank from scratch and make it an industry leader.
It's not that the big boss has outstanding abilities and extraordinary means.
It’s not like he’s good at dancing with long sleeves, wandering around in temples and rivers and lakes.
The reason is actually very simple.
I have a good sister who is a queen.
As everyone knows in the world, saints start at a young age.
The virtuous queen was a married woman, and her relationship was extraordinary.
As long as he can be related by relatives, he will be very close to success, let alone his own family members who are related by blood.
"Brother Ji, why are you looking at me like I'm a fool?"
Zheng Yuluo frowned, raised his head and asked.
He is about the same age as Ji Yuan, but slightly shorter.
"If Tongbao Bank is really opened by your family, the feudal princes will all call you 'uncle and cousin' when they see you."
Ji Yuan looked sideways and said angrily:
"If it were me, I would go to the Imperial Academy and then work as an idle worker in the Hanlin Academy. How comfortable would it be for me to carry my hawk and walk my dog through the streets every day?
You must be truly motivated, regardless of whether your aunt wants to be an idle prince or a noble title.
If you like reading, you can go to Shangyin or Jixia. If you want to practice Zen, go to Huangjue Temple. If you are interested in alchemy, Laojun Mountain welcomes you. If you want to ascend, slay demons and accumulate merit, the door of Zhenwu Mountain is always open.
Brother Zheng, how boring do you have to be to lead a bunch of noble generals and a weakling like me to fight for the title of martial arts examiner?"
After finishing this long speech, he had already left the martial arts hall.
The afterglow of the sun was dim, like thousands of golden threads falling down.
"Brother Ji, you misunderstood."
Zheng Yuluo followed closely behind and said with a rather embarrassed expression:
"I entered the martial arts hall just to step on Yang Xiu's mad dog and help my friend vent his anger. Fame and fame are like clouds to me.
Besides, my father said that the children in the family are not allowed to enter officialdom, only businessmen.
People outside are not even allowed to mention the names of my aunt and...the saint.
If there is any violation, the person's legs may be broken, or the legs may be broken, or the person may be kicked out of the house."
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows. Is that uncle-in-law so strict in running the family?
But considering the good reputation of the virtuous queen, which is respected and loved by everyone, it doesn't seem surprising.
If she heard even the slightest bit of evil, she would never take the initiative to kill her relatives.
"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, why haven't you asked me yet about the fact that the Queen's surname is Luo and not Zheng?"
Zheng Yuluo's steps were not fast and he walked very hastily.
"What's so hard to guess? You put your name upside down, Luo Yuzhen? It sounds like a woman. Are you pretending to be a woman disguised as a man?"
Ji Yuan glanced at it subconsciously and shook his head.
Based on his experience, no matter how small the lotus has no sharp corners, it cannot be so flat.
"It's Luo Yuzhen! It's taken from the last two characters of 'Yuan Henry and Zhen'. My eldest brother's name is Luo Yuanheng, and my second brother's name is Luo Zili.
What kind of woman is pretending to be a man? I’m actually a man! It’s true!”
Luo Yuzhen explained angrily.
He has been somewhat feminine in appearance since he was a child, and was often teased by his two older brothers, who said he was raised like a girl.
Therefore, it is most taboo for others to make fun of this.
"Okay. Then Brother Luo, if you don't deal with Yang Xiu, why are you following me?"
Ji Yuan stopped, turned around and asked.
He originally wanted to go to the Chenghuang Temple in Liulichang, Changshunfang, as it was still early in the morning.
If you are lucky, you will find ancient objects that contain the Taoist aggregate.
A middle-grade or high-grade martial arts is achieved.
"Brother Ji, you pulled down a thousand-jin copper pillar and crushed Yang Xiu with an arrow. How can you not respect such a young hero..."
"speak English!"
Ji Yuan was impatient to listen to this flattery.
"Well, Yang Xiu is engaged to a sister I know.
If he wins the title, or even wins the first prize in martial arts, my sister will marry him on a certain date...
I want to ask Brother Ji to draw his sword to help, save people from fire and water, and make Yang Xiu lose in the competition! So that I can find a reason to terminate this engagement!"
Luo Yuzhen hesitated to tell the truth.
Look at his concealed expression.
There may be more inside information.
Annulment?
Isn't this the kind of treatment only protagonists get?
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows, then waved his hands and said:
"Although there are thirty-six buildings in Tianjing, each one has a quota.
If I want to gain fame as a martial arts scholar, I will definitely squeeze out Yang Xiu.
But brother Luo, don’t forget that the competition is divided into twelve squares in the outer city and twenty-four squares in the inner city.
Because of this, Tai'anfang has not produced a martial arts examiner for several years.
With Yang Xiu's ability, it is not difficult for him to gain fame.
If you can't win it in Tai'anfang, there will always be opportunities in other places.
I'm so busy, please forgive me that I can't do anything."
If it was a simple task, Ji Yuan would be willing to sell his favor.
After all, Luo Sanlang, who has a bad mouth and a bad brain, seems to be a pretty good person, with quite a bit of the naive temperament of a silly son of a landlord.
It's a pity that according to the rules of the martial arts competition.
If you want to suppress Yang Xiu and trample him, you must rush to the ring to win the final exam.
The last person to do this was Zong Pingnan, who was eventually imprisoned in Zhaoyao Mountain for twenty years without success.
It wasn't until he broke through to the realm of Grand Master that he was granted the title of Grand General.
Ji Yuan was alone and had no one to support him. How could he go into this muddy water for no reason?
It is enough for him to earn fame.
Then he trampled Lin Lu to death.
Fill 100 vacancies.
Life is back on track.
"Brother Ji, please think about it again!
How about... I give you money? Ten thousand taels?"
Luo Yuzhen said quickly.
Good guy!
As expected of someone who prints money at home!
It's five digits!
Even though Ji Yuan was determined, he was almost moved.
You must know that hundreds of households in Fusi, a dignified north town named Lin, risked their lives for a few thousand taels by selling their official positions and titles.
This is ten thousand taels!
"A large house with four entrances and four exits in the inner city near the front three gates only costs 8,000 taels!"
Ji Yuan thought to himself, the gap between the rich and the poor is really huge.
"What? Brother Ji thinks it's too little? That's all I've saved... If Brother Ji thinks it's too little, we can discuss it again.
If it doesn't work out, I can ask my two brothers at home to borrow some more... thirty thousand taels? How about that?"
Seeing that Ji Jiulang's expression didn't change, Luo Yuzhen gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and continued to add money.
Very skilled at throwing coins!
Ji Yuan still shook his head and said softly:
"No matter how much money you give, you still need life flowers.
Not to mention stepping on Yang Xiu's face, even if I had just shot him on the spot, I would not hesitate.
But this is two different things from winning the Tianjing martial arts championship and going on stage to compete in the Jiuzhou competition. If I get on that stage, I will not only offend Duke Liang, but also provoke all the generals and nobles. What is the difference between this and getting angry?
A man who is not afraid of swords, mountains, and seas of fire, and who only seeks to gain enlightenment with one thought, does not mean that I will actively seek death.
Brother Luo, it’s better to hire another Gao Ming!”
After that, he strode towards Liulichang.
