At the beginning of the new year, the Chamber of Commerce was established.
On the upper floor of Yujie Fan Building, thirty-five merchants quietly booked a few private rooms to celebrate. They did not dare to say that they were booking rooms in Fan Building. This was not something they could do if they had money.
Everyone unanimously elected Wang Yun as the first president, and the Song Dynasty Chamber of Commerce was established on the first day of the new year. There was no disturbance in Bianliang City, as if it was just a trivial matter.
Everyone toasted together and looked out at the bustling Kaifeng Mansion and Bianliang City, and seemed to see money waving to them.
Yang's mansion was decorated with lights and decorations, and everything was being tidied up and cleaned. It seemed that Yang Lin was the only idle person in the mansion.
He got up early and went to the palace to see the emperor. The New Year was coming soon, and the emperor had no free time to summon his ministers. He was busy with various celebrations.
The eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace were all beaming with joy today, and they all bowed their heads and saluted when they saw Yang Lin.
Yang Lin greeted him with a smile and waited for the emperor in the palace. After three-quarters of an hour, Zhao Ji rode Luan Yu to the Wenhua Palace.
"Yang Aiqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have lost some energy."
Yang Linnen's face turned red. From the time he conquered Fangla to now, he had hardly appeared in court.
The fight with Han Zhongyan was also done by the government, and the details were all done by Liu Qingshui and a few of his confidants.
The emperor wrote a bad check and actually gave himself a long vacation. He was very happy at home these days.
"Hey, I just didn't come to the court. In fact, I was working hard for His Majesty in private, so I have reduced it a little bit."
Of course, Yang Lin didn't come empty-handed. He ruthlessly took out two million yuan from this year's income and gave it to Zhao Ji's "internal treasury" for him to eat, drink and have fun.
Zhao Ji was in a good mood and said with a smile: "I really saw you right. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"If I can receive a calligraphy treasure from His Majesty, why would I regret my death?"
This incident scratched Zhao Ji's itch. He didn't expect that Yang Lin didn't even ask for an official position or power. He was obviously a knowledgeable person, so he immediately wrote a piece of "Jiang Xiao Zi Tie".
Yang Lin looked at it for a long time, and in the eyes of a scholar like him, this calligraphy was already at its best.
Having inherited Yang Lin's memories and emotions, he can be regarded as a scholar who has lived in poverty for ten years, and is especially fond of calligraphy.
But he refused to accept it. Zhao Ji's talent was much higher than that of Yang Lin, and he would never be able to reach this level after practicing hard all his life.
Just this piece of calligraphy will be worth hundreds of millions in a thousand years. If he were not an emperor or a subjugated king, I don’t know how many cultural people would be intoxicated in the beauty of calligraphy and painting that only belongs to China and cannot extricate themselves, and become this person’s fans.
Fan girl.
Taking the emperor's calligraphy treasure with him, after Yang Lin left the palace, he did not return to the palace, but came to the Internal Affairs Provincial Police Factory.
In the residence of old man Yang Jian, several relatives came to the house, and they were very happy with the New Year atmosphere.
Seeing Yang Lin come in, several relatives stood up one after another. Yang Jian introduced with a smile: "This is Yang Shaozai, who is famous all over the world. You should all have heard of his name."
Yang Lin smiled and greeted them one by one, and asked Yang Jian to introduce them one by one. These relatives of his were relatively simple. After all, no matter how well-off the eunuchs who entered the palace were, they were forced by life in the past, and their families were all poor people who could not blame others.
.
Yang Jian dragged a dull young man over and said, "This is the only promising person in our family. My third brother's grandson can read and study for several years. You have to take care of him in the future."
Yang Lin took out a jade pendant from his arms. The quality of the jade was shining and clear, and it was clearly of the highest quality. He gave it to him as a meeting gift and asked, "What's your name and what book do you read?"
"If the number one scholar asks you a question, answer it well, and in the future you will gain some honors and bring some glory to us."
The young man replied politely: "Back to Shaozai, the student's name is Yang Xun, and what I am reading now is "Edict and Proposal"."
Yang Lin smiled and said: "The Classics, History and Ziyi are all classics. Only by reading more can you be qualified to become an official. However, you can't stick to them. A real man must be open-minded and open-minded to establish himself in the world. Knowing everything in the world requires knowledge and understanding of people.
That’s an article.”
"The young master's golden words have taught the students a lesson."
Yang Jian was smiling happily at the side. His grandson was the only one in their family who had some academic achievements. He regarded him as a treasure. He immediately smiled and said: "Brother, my grandson doesn't have a font yet. You are the number one scholar, so give him one.
Let Xun'er get a little bit of Wenquxing's fairy spirit."
"Haha, the poem says: 'If your husband is bad, sing a song to find out about it.' Since your name is Yang Xun, how about the word Liang Ge?"
As if he had found a treasure, Yang Jian pulled his dull grandson over and said, "Why don't you quickly say thank you, Young Master?"
Yang Lin is so young and already a very popular minister. Yang Jian saw it and asked him to give his grandson a calligraphy. It will be considered a connection in the future. After his death, the only scholar in the family will still be able to read.
He has to rely on his younger brother to take care of him.
Yang Xun respectfully performed the master's ceremony. Yang Lin then pulled Yang Jian to the side and whispered: "I have prepared several boxes of jewelry. It is convenient for me to do things in the palace. Please help me give them to His Majesty's favored ones."
Several concubines, and the palace maids beside them."
Yang Jian secretly admired it. It was not unreasonable for the young man in front of him to be so favored by the emperor. Everyone around the emperor benefited from him. He dragged Tong Guan to give him gifts before he even entered the capital, and he received all of them.
In this way, whenever the emperor mentioned him, he would hear a few compliments from time to time. How could his impression of this person be bad?
"It's not surprising that there are so many gifts. Even if it's a gift, how much money do we still have?"
Yang Jian nodded and agreed, and Yang Lin said with a smile: "Little Concubine Liu is Qingshui's sister. She always takes care of us, and she can't neglect it. I have a box specially prepared for her. I will put a label on it when the time comes. Brother, please don't
Wrong delivery."
"Brother, you've got your heart set on it, and that's exactly what it should be."
The little Concubine Liu and the eldest Concubine Liu in the palace are both quite favored concubines, especially Concubine Liu. Since she was sent to the cold palace for a period of time last time, her whole temperament has changed.
It has charm. Yang Jian knew that he and Liu Qingshui were as good as the same person, so he had no doubts about him and happily agreed.
After finishing all this, Yang Lin came out of the palace, stretched out, and looked at the clear and quiet sky in the distance, feeling very good.
Next, you can spend the New Year at home. The first year of Daguan is definitely a year worth celebrating. The harvest this year has been ridiculously large, so you should enjoy it for a few days.
After all, after the New Year, there will be even more cruel competition. No matter how much I behaved and acted arrogantly in the past, Cai Jing was there to protect me from the wind and rain in the future court, and I would have to hold up the sky above the court alone.
"Yang San, go back home to celebrate the New Year!" Yang Lin said energetically.
"Sit tight, Dalang."
When they reached the front house of Gaodian, the carriage suddenly stopped. Yang Lin opened the curtain and saw that there was a carriage blocking the front.
The Song Dynasty was short of horses, especially Tong Guan. After Cai Jing started planning to attack Xixia, the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Khitan dropped to a freezing point, and the Bianliang horse market had reached ridiculously high prices.
Such two pure white horses are even rarer. Coupled with the luxurious decoration, it can be imagined that the status of the owner in the carriage is extremely noble.
Since we were in Bianliang, there was no such thing as Yang Lin giving way to others, but the carriage on the opposite side didn't seem to have any intention of giving way either.
Generally speaking, powerful people in Bianliang would put some small flags or identification signs on their bicycle frames.
Seeing that the other party was not one of the few who needed to give way, Lu Wang stepped forward and said, "Who is that person on the other side? Seeing Yang Shaozai's carriage, why don't you give way?"
On the carriage opposite, the curtains were lifted, and a little face like a flower was revealed.
The pretty little Luoli's face is carefully decorated with flowers like an adult, making her look even more delicate.
The knight next to him stepped forward, lowered his body and whispered a few words.
Little Luoli looked around and said: "Is this Bianliang here? It's really prosperous. Even if you have to give way when you see someone, it's better to be prestigious in Yan'an Mansion. Since we are not as powerful as others, let's give way quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble."
