Chastity Layman

The old man of the Cheng family has returned to Beijing.

Qin Lang went to Xianyang to meet him in person, but he hadn't seen him for a few years, the frontier fortress' wind made Cheng Chu silently tanned, and he became more robust and mature.

The two hugged each other, and Qin Lang patted Cheng Chumo, "This bearded face is thick enough, the person is dark, and the belly is also fat."

Cheng Chumo laughed, "In Saishang, it's either beef, mutton or cheese all day long. It's hard not to lose weight. If I stay any longer, I guess I'll lose three hundred catties."

"Now it's about two hundred catties, right?"

"More than two hundred."

Qin Lang was speechless. When Lao Cheng followed him to Fengzhou, he only weighed more than one hundred catties, but now he weighs two hundred and five catties. The cattle and sheep in Hetao are really fat and nourishing.

"Sanlang still hasn't changed, he still looks like a boy." Old Cheng smiled.

"Let's go, I've booked a table for you at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Pingkangfang, and arranged for a girl to welcome you!"

"That's good. Remember to call the captain, Captain Chi, the second son, and the others. We've been away for several years. I miss you guys so much in Saishang."

Lao Cheng was transferred back to Beijing this time, which is regarded as a promotion. He was originally the governor of Shengzhou, and later became the governor of Shengzhou. However, Shengzhou belongs to Xiazhou. At the beginning of Zhenguan, it was an empty city. Qin Lang killed Liang Shidu and Yuan Junzheng. , Drive away the Turkic people, it can be regarded as the restoration of state governance.

After that, the Eastern Turks perished, and Shengzhou was more important as a city on the edge of the Hetao. The imperial court immigrated there every year, dispatched criminals, and resettled many Turkic tribes. The population has increased, but that place is not The desert belongs to the Gobi and grasslands, and it is difficult to develop for a while. It is only because of the Hetao Canal that Qin Qiong and Qin Lang advocated the construction of the Hetao Canal when they were in office that Shengzhou can develop a little bit.

In the past few years, relying on the frontier fortress for peace, doing some livestock processing, and relying on the border market, it is not bad.

Lao Cheng has been there for a few years, and he has worked hard without credit. After this exam, he was rated as a top class, so he was promoted.

"Do you know where to tune?"

"I don't know yet, tell me where to tune?" Old Cheng was a little curious.

"East Palace, Zuo Wei led, General Lu Ben Zhonglang, is still the fourth rank, but your original rank has been brought up for you, General Zhuangwu." Qin Lang did not tell Lao Cheng that he could be transferred back to Beijing, and he was still the one who checked the school. The arrangements made by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials during the exams, including his promotion to the fourth rank, were also mentioned in the political affairs hall.

"Thank you!" Old Cheng is very clear. In terms of seniority and political achievements, he will not be able to rise to the fourth rank so soon. Although Lu Ben Zhonglang General of the East Palace is also a fourth rank, he is at the same level as the governor of Xiazhou before him. , but the difference is still huge.

The governor of Shengzhou is quite high-ranking, and can be used as a frontier state. In fact, he is highly qualified. If he is transferred to another position, he may sometimes be downgraded.

Lu Ben Zhonglang General of the Eastern Palace is different. He is in charge of a thousand Lu Ben army, and the real military position of the Eastern Palace, especially if he can become the prince's confidant, has a bright future.

It doesn't matter, how could it be possible to get in?

Not to mention the governor of the poor state, even the Zhonglang generals of the various guards may not be able to transfer in smoothly.

Thinking about the previous Luben Zhonglang generals, Gao Zhensheng, Liang Jianfang, Gao Kan, and the others, they are all third-rank positions now, and they have all been promoted to the governor of Longyou.

Pingkang Square.

The Yuchi and Baoqi brothers were already waiting there, along with several old friends in Beijing.

The two brothers returned to Beijing with their father, Yu Chigong. Yu Chigong had been calm in Shannan for several years, but this time he was suddenly promoted to minister of the Ministry of War and also entered the political affairs hall as minister, and the two brothers were also transferred back to Beijing.

"Damn it, it's actually a loyal general, bah!"

When the Yuchi brothers saw Cheng Chumo and heard this guy's eagerness to show off, they all spat in the past. The two brothers' careers were also greatly affected because their father was demoted to Shannan in recent years.

"Baolin Baoqi, what are your duties when you return to Beijing this time?" Chu Mo asked pretentiously.

"Chang'an arsenal order!" Pauline didn't hide it, this is the chief of Chang'an arsenal under the Weiwei Temple, in charge of hiding weapons, and a post from the sixth rank.

"How about you, Baoqi?"

"Zuo Wei Cang Cao joins the army!" Bao Qi replied angrily, this is only a small official of the eighth rank, and it is too far from Cheng Chumo's fourth rank general Ben Zhonglang. But there is no way, who wants to say that after the Xuanwu Gate, his father was so bloated that he dared to insult the Prime Minister Shangshu at every turn, and even dared to beat the prince at the palace banquet, almost blinding one of Li Daozong's eyes, the bloat was too much, The emperor was very dissatisfied, and finally drove him to Ezhou. He missed all the important battles in the past few years.

He served as the governor of Ezhou, but he did not do well, and was impeached several times.

Originally, the Xuanwu sect was ranked first in meritorious service, on the same level as Qin Qiong's eldest grandson Wuji and the others. After a few years, Qin Qiong became a captain, and his eldest grandson Wuji became a Situ. Even Hou Junji paid homage to the prime minister twice.

The father was rubbed against the ground, and of course the son was not much better. He had worked hard in the local government for several years and was not promoted. Now that he can return to the imperial court, it is considered a lucky turn of events.

Cheng Chumo, an old man, was lucky. Earlier, he followed Qin Lang to Fengzhou, fought against the Turks, and conquered Shengzhou. He picked up a deserted Shengzhou and stayed there for a few years, so he was able to get promoted all the way. Now it’s all fucking Sealed as the Founding Marquis, he is now at the fourth rank.

Just thinking about it makes me vomit blood.

The two brothers thought about it more than once, why didn't they stay in Hetao well back then, Baoqi also went to Fengzhou with Cheng Chumo and accompanied Qin Lang back then, and even led troops out of the town, but why did they go back later? It's good to go back once, a few years later, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chumo are already far apart.

He is the real power of the fourth rank, Lu Ben Zhonglang, he is just a Zuoweicang Cao joined the army.

"You're only in your early twenties, why are you so obsessed with officials? Are you afraid that you won't have a chance if you have talent? Come on, go in and drink!" Qin Lang looked at these guys who were competing for official positions there with disdain. childish.

"Tch, you, Qin Sanlang, have been a first-rank official for a long time, of course it's not unusual." Several people despised him together.

The Xiaoxiang Hall is still one of the three famous halls in Chang'an. Qin Lang is the major shareholder of this house, and Lin San is usually under his watch, so no one dares to mess around.

The girls in the restaurant became popular one after another, all of them were celebrities who sold their performances but not their lives. If the families of famous families wanted to hold banquets, they were usually invited to host them. Check out their schedules.

But today, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion received a personal notice from Lin San early on that Duke Wei was going to entertain friends here, so all the entertainment was rejected, the museum was closed, and the girls did not go out to pick up work, and all stayed to entertain Duke Wei.

Hospitality of the highest standard.

"After a few years, the girls in Chang'an are still so beautiful!"

The old man Cheng Chumo has been eating sand in Shengzhou for several years. The females he can see on weekdays are either ewes or cows. It is rare to see a woman. When he sees an old Turkic woman, he feels pretty. At first glance, when I saw the top-notch girls in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, whether it was compatibility, clothing, or body and face, I almost jumped at them.

"Go take a bath first, I have arranged girls for you, rub your hands and soak them well before drinking, or else you will smell so bad that you could make the girls spit up!" Qin Lang waved his hand.

Cheng Chumo waited for a group of guys, and immediately went away with a smile on his face.

The red ladies in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion sell their skills but not their bodies, but there are still girls who are both excellent in sex and art.

Several red ladies who were in charge of the family surrounded Qin Lang to show their hospitality, and they were all asking if there was any new perfume recently. Compared with the traditional incense, the Qin family's perfume was more novel and unique, not to mention the beautiful packaging, the exquisite The shape of the glass bottle makes it much more convenient to use the perfume.

Moreover, these perfumes have many fragrance types, and the most important thing is that they are expensive and rare.

The girls in Pingkang Fang like to take out a bottle of Qin's perfume when they are together, and put it on in public, that has a brand name.

The rarer and more expensive the perfume, the more it can overwhelm the crowd, and the more face it has, it is quite different from incense in the house.

After half an hour.

Cheng Chumo waited for a group of people to come out, and they all felt refreshed and their anger disappeared.

With the active atmosphere of Chang'an's top girls, this wine is even more refreshing.

Before the banquet ended, Qin Lang gave everyone a piece of paper.

This is the number of spices arranged by Qin Lang for each family. The division of fragrances is a game of sitting and eating fruit. It is divided according to the strength of each family, fully considering their official titles in the court and their influence in the folk area, etc. , It can be said that everyone has a share.

Those with strong strength get more shares, and those who have the top-level spices are divided, while those with lower status are divided into spices with less benefits.

In short, all aspects have been considered.

The Cheng family, the Wei Chi family, and the other military upstarts, Qin Lang has considered their interests and won a good share for them. These people are Qin Lang's basic base, and of course he will give priority to them.

"That's it? Are those people going to stop making trouble?" Although Cheng Chumo has just entered Beijing, he also knows that many people have called for banning the sea recently. Following Qin Lang, the Cheng family not only invested in the Four Seas Commercial Bank, but also has a presence along the coast. Build your own workshop, and your own sea boat, etc.

"Shibo is the most profitable, with millions of moves. As long as all parties can take care of it, this matter can of course continue. If anyone is still dissatisfied and still wants to overturn the table, then he has to look at the people sitting at the table. Are these people willing?" Qin Lang said with a smile.

After this round of redistribution of benefits, although Qin Lang still retained a large share, he did give away a lot of profits. The Cheng family and other upstarts also cut their flesh, but those who lost the most and gave up the most profits were actually those on the southeast coast Tyrants, their share is squeezed the most.

But this is a redistribution of interests, taking care of all aspects, trying to satisfy everyone, of course there will be dissatisfaction, but who has the ability to do right with the entire interest group?

If you want to turn the table, you have to be an enemy of everyone.

"Let me tell you, this time, everyone will give some blood to make some profit, but I want to compensate everyone. As long as the table is not overturned, we will not lose money. If everyone still trusts me, Qin Lang , might as well increase the stakes and place more bets in the southeast. Now that the imperial court is going to open more than 20 new ports, this is an opportunity. Don't miss it. Whoever makes the first move will be able to seize more opportunities. Spices make money, but after all, there are a lot of them, and sea trade is not just that little spices!"

Cheng Chumo glanced at his family's share, and put it in his arms with a smile, "Whatever Sanlang says, that's what we decide. We always trust Sanlang. I played mahjong with Sanlang and played mahjong with the Supreme Emperor and earned the first pot of gold. All these years If you follow Saburo closely, you have already made a lot of money, so there is nothing else to say."

When Brother Yuchi heard this, he couldn't help saying shit, he couldn't compare to Qin Sanlang, and he didn't expect to be suppressed by this old man from the Cheng family everywhere. He had been an official before, and he couldn't compare to him in terms of money.

If you don't believe in evil, you will take out all your belongings when you turn around, and give them all to Saburo, mother, Wan Guan's wealth, this damn Cheng Chumo, makes people envious, jealous and hateful!
