Jizi Scroll The Tiger Lying on the Barren Hill Section 2 The Magical Uses of Mahjong
When leaving Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Feng Ziying felt a lot more confident.
Having expressed his intentions so openly, if King Zhongshun cannot convey his intentions to the emperor, then this most loyal partner will not be worthy of the name.
From the beginning of the establishment of Haitong Silver Village, King Zhongshun has actually been bound to the Feng family to a certain extent. Many people in the outside world may not understand the value and significance of Haitong Silver Village, but Feng Ziying believes that King Zhongshun and Emperor Yonglong can see it.
The future of this bank.
The participation of royal family members and a large number of northern gentry and merchants gave Haitong Bank the weight of financial capital in a sense. If Jiangnan had already overwhelmed the north in terms of industry and commerce, then using financial capital to support it
The idea of developing the Northland and controlling the industry and commerce in the South of the Yangtze River is not obvious yet, but as time goes by, such signs will soon become apparent.
In contrast, the commercial capital in Jiangnan seems to be much slower and hesitant in this regard. Of course, there are reasons for this. On the one hand, with developed industry and commerce, private capital has more channels to go; on the other hand, as the more powerful royal family
The entry of clan capital makes Jiangnan commercial capital worry that its own interests will be damaged, so its enthusiasm is not too high.
These worries are understandable, but Feng Ziying will not wait for anyone, and the court and the current situation do not allow waiting like this.
Especially after Haitong Yinzhuang began to participate in the construction of Denglai's port terminals, shipyards and ships on a large scale, the signs that Haitong Yinzhuang was bound to the imperial court became increasingly obvious.
Of course, Feng Ziying knew that this kind of binding had advantages and disadvantages, especially for a dynasty that was still in the feudal era and relied on field tax and salt taxes as its main financial income. Unstable or even barren financial income and unbudgeted expenditures made this
Zhongyinzhuang could easily be brought down by a court that lacked credibility to support it.
But the benefits are also huge. The lack of competitors and a near-monopoly structure, coupled with the huge opportunities that may be brought by the industrial, commercial and colonial undertakings that are about to flourish, may also make Haitong Yinzhuang gain huge benefits.
This era where risks and opportunities coexist, that is, the best and worst era, depends on whether you can grasp it.
Although King Zhongshun may not have a deep understanding of finance, he can understand that if the bank is bound to the court, as long as the court does not fall, then this kind of income will always be guaranteed, and if the court really falls, then the money will be lost.
It was meaningless to him, a compatriot of the emperor, so his attitude was very firm.
Because of this, Feng Ziying dared to tell the other party her thoughts and intentions calmly without worrying about anything else.
It's just a very simple request. Emperor Yonglong used to worry about himself because he felt that he was a little drifting, and wanted to suppress or beat himself up, but it took so long, especially when he was facing the pressure of the Supreme Emperor and when he was about to leave? Feng Ziying believed that
Emperor Yonglong should give a result soon.
Plan before taking action? Never fight an unprepared battle. This is Feng Ziying's style.
Are you going back to the mansion? It's already Shenzheng time.
Seeing that Jia's carriage was still in the yard, Feng Ziying knew that all the girls hadn't left yet.
As soon as I stepped into the flower hall, I heard a lot of noise from the Nuang Pavilion. It was very lively.
As expected, everyone gathered around the table, happily playing Mahjong, a new type of entertainment that he had worked so hard to design and produce.
Except Shen Yixiu, Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Tanchun all did their part, but Second Sister You, Baochai, Yingchun, and Xichun sat aside and watched the battle.
"Two barrels!"
"Open the bar!" Seeing Tan Chun play a card, Xiang Yun clapped her hands happily, "Girl Tan is really a good sister? Not like Sister Lin? She thinks twice about every card she plays, and she is not grand at all!"
Lin Daiyu sneered, "You have to ask others to play cards for you, draw Kongs for you, and give you random cards to be called grand. I don't think that's called grand. It's called money and many people are stupid, right?"
One sentence made Baochai and the other girls around her laugh out loud. But Tanchun blushed angrily, "Sister Lin? I don't want this card, and I can't afford it. I can only throw it away. Just now, Sister Shen Don’t you think so? Should we get rid of this kind of card as soon as possible?..."
"Sister Shen said that? But she also said to observe? Especially when the upper and lower cards are broken, but no one is played, you should be careful. You see, four cards have been played in three tubes, and one tube has not been played. There is only one card left, and if you obviously play your cards, you will be easily touched or bullied by others..." Lin Daiyu pouted.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that in just a day or two, Shen Yixiu would become a mahjong master? Can he teach mahjong skills to these sisters?
"I thought someone might touch her, but I can't afford it..." Tan Chun was still unconvinced.
"Actually, what Sister Lin and Third Sister said are right. According to what Brother Feng said, it's just a matter of probability, well, or just luck..." Shen Yixiu liked this lively scene very much. Although Lin Daiyu, The three girls, Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun, were noisy, but the more they were like this, the closer they seemed to be.
When Feng Ziying walked into the flower hall, Shen Yixiu saw her and stood up quickly, "My husband is back?"
A group of girls also stood up and whispered, "Brother Feng is back."
"Oh, oh, sisters, please stop being so polite and keep playing. I could hear Sister Lin and Third Sister bickering, and Sister Yun was gloating about others' misfortune, and even deliberately started a war..."
Feng Ziying's words immediately triggered Shi Xiangyun's rebuttal: "Brother Feng, when did my little sister take pleasure in others' misfortune and start a war? You are pouring dirty water on my little sister. Look, Tan Yatou and I are the losers. Shen My sister and Sister Lin won money, and there is no more copper coins left in front of Sister Lin. You are still making fun of me and Tan Yatou. It’s so unfair..."
Feng Ziying also laughed loudly, "Look, this sister Yun's mouth is never forgiving. She will always get people out of her mouth as soon as she speaks. When did I make fun of the third sister? You have used the third sister's cards. You have won money from Third Sister, but you still want to form a united front with Third Sister? Third Sister, can you agree?"
Feng Ziying's words made everyone laugh again. Even Tanchun, who was still a little angry, was also amused. The atmosphere was really very pleasant.
"Brother Feng, Sister Shen said you came up with it yourself and had someone make it. How could you come up with such a thing? Are these things also in the book?" Shi Xiangyun was very puzzled that Feng Ziying was a second-class Jinshi and a Hanlin Academy scholar. How can I have these thoughts to think about this, and it is extremely interesting.
"That's wrong, Sister Yun. This is also the inspiration you gave me when you played with horse tags that day. In fact, many people play with these things by the canal, but they all use paper to draw some symbols. It's very rough, and it's not nearly as exciting as making it with this kind of bamboo wood. Don't you think it's more sonorous and powerful when played like this than playing cards?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "And the gameplay is also richer. For example, in addition to doubling the kong tiles, all If they are all touching cards or three of the same cards, this is called a pair of cards; for another example, if two of the cards in your hand are the same, and the last single card is the same as the card played by others or the card you touched yourself, it is also counted. Hu cards,..."
Yesterday, Feng Ziying and Shen Yixiu only taught the most basic rules of playing cards. However, there are too many ways to play mahjong tiles. They can be continuously enriched as they become more proficient. For these girls who stay at home for a long time, it is also a good way to kill time. Way.
For the girls, Feng Ziying's performance also surprised them. No one thought that Brother Feng had talent in this area and could create such a way for everyone to entertain. This is different from Brother Feng. The impressions of Jinshi and Hanlin Academy editors are greatly inconsistent.
It wasn't until the girls were sent away that Shen Yixiu returned to her husband and said in a manly voice: "Ms. sir, these sisters are actually quite nice. I really hope they can come to the house often."
"Then you can invite them here often, especially after I go out. You need to take care of your health and should not go out too much. Then please invite the sisters to come and sit more often, play with you, and talk. I think it will also be good for you. It's good for your body and mood." Feng Ziying looked at her wife lovingly, "And..."
"Besides, Sister Lin and Sister Xue will become sisters-in-law with me sooner or later. Having a good relationship earlier will also reassure our husband, right?" A smile appeared on Shen Yixiu's face, "I would also like to thank my husband for trying every possible means. Making this mahjong tile allows everyone to have better leisure and entertainment together, which can also resolve the embarrassment of sometimes lack of topics to talk about."
"It seems that Wan Jun and the sisters are getting along very well?" Feng Ziying felt a little relieved. Needless to say, there was no need to talk about Daiyu. The key was Baochai. Although he had told his wife in advance, she also seemed Very magnanimous, but after the Yonglong Emperor reinstates his title, if he wants to be engaged to the Xue family, it might cause some problems.
"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do." Shen Yixiu glanced at her husband and seemed to notice some of his worries, "Sisters from the Lin family and sisters from the Xue family are very easy to get along with. Although sister from the Lin family is a bit hot-tempered, , but she has a good heart, not to mention the sister of the Xue family, she is a generous character..."
Feng Ziying didn't expect that after only two or three contacts, Shen Yixiu could roughly figure out Daiyu and Baochai's temperament, and laughed, "Wan Jun, when you say this, I feel at ease. In fact, I designed this I just hope that you can have more opportunities to get along with them, so that I won’t let you go and be too lonely in the future.”
Shen Yixiu felt sweet in her heart. She had actually guessed this. Otherwise, how could her husband have the time to do this because of his busy schedule? This affection made her even more intoxicated.
