Qianfanlou.@Chinese@novelw..

The banks of the Bian River are always very lively. Pedestrians who come and go often like to walk along the clusters of Cailouhuan Gate and give advice from time to time. When a child is playing and playing, he will attract more attention from the Cailouhuan Gate.

Qianfanlou is named for being able to compete in the Bianhezhou Bridge on the third floor. Every year, dragon boat racing makes it the best place to find a seat for hundreds of gold. Even in ordinary times, it is crowded and often takes a few days in advance to set up the seat.

Of course, Jiang Feng was not that slutty and insisted on going to the most conspicuous location on the third floor. In fact, such a banquet is more suitable for the halls and pavilions with lush flowers and trees, a single courtyard, a bamboo yard, and a fragrant forest. This is a good place to have a night banquet and have fun.

Ten bottles of wine in black vases with tiger pattern on white background are the best merry wine brewed by Qianfanlou. It is said that this merry wine is also named after a group of dragon boat men who drank this merry wine more than ten years ago. After drinking this merry wine, they became a champion in the dragon boat race. This made this merry wine become the heroic wine of Qianfanlou. Anyone who is outside the country has to taste this wine and show their heroism when they come here to drink.

Jiang Feng did not like this kind of banquet, because it was indeed too time-consuming and energy-consuming, but sometimes necessary forms were indispensable.

However, he never thought that people from Bianliang could play so many tricks on this. Looking at the scene in front of him, he had to admit that after experiencing the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the upper class of this era had already had so many etiquettes and styles in the banquet industry.

Cui Shang is quite good at making arrangements, and the specifications and atmosphere are indeed coming, but it is estimated that the cost will definitely not be small.

All this is not important to Jiang Feng. As he himself said, all the beauty of this is based on a large amount of money.

Although Cui Shang has not made a clear attitude yet, the boy Cui's son of Boling is a little moved when he gives Jiang Feng the feeling.

As a child of the Boling Cui family with five surnames and seven hopes, how could Cui Shang become an unknown white body in this Bianliang city? It really surprised Jiang Feng at first.

Even though the Huang Chao Rebellion and the rise of the vassal family, the era of literati has passed, and the era of being honored by force has arrived, as one of the five surnames and seven hopes, the Cui family is still quite respected. At least in Guanzhong, the Cui family's children are still very active.

Although the Zhu family of Bianliang rose up as Huang Chao rebelled, most of the clans under his command were military people. Even though there were family members of civil officials, most of them were Jing, Xie, Li and other literati when they followed Zhu Wen, the old Liang king, to conquer the world. Other literati were indeed difficult to be valued. However, Jiang Feng always felt that Cui Shang's talent and knowledge could still be reused in Daliang even without the halo of the Boling Cui family. However, Chang Kun later woke up with a word. It was precisely because he was the son of the Boling Cui family that it was impossible to be reused in Bianliang.

The Cui family in Qinghe is still very favored in Guanzhong, while the Cui family in Boling and Cui family in Qinghe originated from the same vein. Although they have already established their own households, they are still birds of feathers in the eyes of Zhu, so they naturally do not like it. This also makes it difficult for the Cui family to make a breakthrough in Henan.

The situation of Cui's family in Bianliang is actually a microcosm of the old and famous families headed by the five surnames and seven hopes in the world since the Tang Dynasty. A large number of wealthy families who established vassals by force began to rise in the Central Plains. Most of them were from vulgar lower classes, beggars, tenants, private salt dealers, bandits, butchers, monks and Taoists, etc., which constituted the basic family background of these emerging vassal families.

These people were originally envious, jealous and hated the old and famous families. After they had the opportunity to overthrow these old and famous families, they would naturally not give them many opportunities. Even if the situation sometimes forced them to use their talents, they would be very cautious.

This situation is better in Guanzhong, Nanyang, Xiangyang, etc., such as Daliang, Hedong, Huainan, Jingnan, Tanyue and Hebei towns, which are particularly prominent.

In a word, local vassals that respect Li Tang Zhengshuo should be slightly better, while emerging vassals who were completely fighting with swords and guns were particularly disgusted with these famous families.

However, no matter what, these old and famous families still have a deep-rooted impact on this society. Even if they are not allowed to enter the center of power, they still have considerable influence in all walks of life. The family precipitation and cultural influence over hundreds of years have made them popular in many aspects. Therefore, famous families like Cui Shang still have their own survival channels in Bianliang City. It is not a problem for Jiang Feng to ask for a decent banquet. Of course, the premise is that there must be enough gold cakes and silver slaughter.

Before coming to Bianliang, Jiang Feng had a lot of thought. He would definitely have to spend money when he came to ask for help, but he also paid quite a lot of attention to the method of spending. Including Qin Zaidao, Zhang Yue, Gu Minghai and others all felt that asking for people must go the way, and they had to spend it when they should. For this reason, he also asked for a little donation from the gentry and merchants in Gushi City.

These donations were replaced by gold and silver cakes, which was also a common practice in this era. Most of them used gold and silver for bribery, gifts, rewards, tributes, rewards, and donations. However, no one used gold and silver for daily use.

Before coming, Jiang Feng prepared two hundred taels of gold and more than one hundred taels of silver. This is no longer a small amount.

But Jiang Feng has been considering how to spend this money.

For some people, whether this money is spent or not, his attitude will not change. For example, Li Gu, who is in charge, is the late Chenzhou of his Li family. He will do his best to promote this battle without spending money. If he can really show enough strength, he will even find ways to support himself. It is not impossible to provide some money and material support for himself, as long as he can be useful to him.

For example, the direct scholar of Chongzhengyuan who had a very happy conversation with Li Gu, intuition told Jiang Feng that although this person did not show much enthusiasm for him, he could feel that the other party was very interested in him, especially his control over Gushicheng. There were several questions that intentionally or unintentionally and indirectly, they were indirectly understanding some issues that ordinary people did not pay much attention to.

For example, what are the main gentry who fled to Gushi in Gwangju? It turns out that whether they make a living by land or run a specific industry in Gwangju city, or just pawn money houses, these issues are quite tricky, or professional, and it is directly related to the support of these people for Gushi army.

For example, if the land industry is mainly based on the land industry, their land has long been confiscated by the Yuan family, so there is naturally no possibility of reconciliation with the Yuan family. For example, if the Yuan family is willing to continue to engage in this industry, then there is a high possibility that these people will turn against each other. For example, those who are engaged in a certain industry, such as grain, iron smelting, transportation, salt merchants, pharmacies, forestry and other industries, it depends on what Yuan family chooses.

The direct scholar's inquiry was very skillful and he showed a lot of meaning in a quiet manner. Jiang Feng naturally wanted to repay his kindness, and he naturally had to disclose some necessary news to the other party.

However, this kind of occasion is not suitable for exploring deeper things, and the enthusiastic guests are still immersed in the performances brought by the Kabuki.

"Erlang, come and have a drink. This Jingduchun is not something you can drink anywhere." The man sitting on the side of Jiang Feng was drinking fine wine. He obviously liked this Jingduchun very much. At first, Lu Gao introduced this person, a figure in the fifth room of the Political Affairs Hall, and the military office was written by Pei Lin.

"Mr. Pei, please." The operation mechanism of Jiang Feng Daliang Political Affairs Hall is not very clear, but it is estimated that it should be in line with the Political Affairs Hall of the Tang Dynasty. According to convention, the five rooms of this kind of political affairs hall must correspond to the six ministries of the Secretariat Province, and it is also a prominent position. However, the number of people in the military room is different, so it is still unclear how much the Pei pen holds.

However, since it was invited by Li Gu, Jiang Feng probably tended to send troops to Caizhou in terms of attitude, so he still invited him to drink politely and enthusiastically.

"Erlang, you should pay more respect to Lord Pei. Lord Pei is rare to attend such a gathering. I took some effort to invite him." Li Gu smiled while holding the female technician beside him and teasing him: "Mr. Pei, is there still arguing over the military fee in the Political Affairs Hall?"

"Why should the general make things difficult for me? That's all the things that the adults discuss, but it's not our Cao officials' turn to interfere." Pei Lin was also a little unrestrained, shook his head and said, "But if it's decided by Chongzhengyuan, no matter how much the Zhengshitang quarreled, it would come as usual."

"Oh, Lord Pei means that as long as Chongzhengyuan finalizes it as soon as possible, then the Zhengshi Hall will not be a problem?" The question from the straight scholar made Pei Lin sober a lot, "Mr. Li, I haven't said that. I just said that it should follow the convention. As for whether the convention will be changed, I don't know."

"Mr. Pei, you have something to say, haha, general,..." Master Zhi turned his eyes and returned to Li Gu's body. Li Gu nodded and waved his hand to signal. Lu Gao, who was sitting at the bottom, immediately understood and signaled with his eyes: "Junior Sister Ju,..."

Ju Li also woke up and got up and took out a silver tin from his bag and placed it in the outermost tray. The singers and dancers also stood up consciously, bowed and left quietly, leaving only a group of guests in the hall.

Chu Qi, Chen Shi and several personal guards brought by Li Gu also stood outside the lobby to prevent outsiders from entering.

"Mr. Pei, there are no outsiders here now. Although Erlang is our first place, I believe you know what we think, so I have to ask you to give me some advice." Li Kang's eyes became a little deeper, "I think there will be no problem in the Zhengshi Hall."
