Chapter 66 The Richest Man in the Southern Song Dynasty
Qin Chen’s father is even more incredible, his name is Qin Zhuo.
Back then, Han Zhouzhou donated 200,000 guan himself and the Empress Dowager donated 1 million yuan (guan) for the Northern Expedition. Qin Zhuo was on good terms with Han Zhouzhou at that time and made a lot of money with Han Zhouzhou's support. In order to pay for Han Zhouzhou's Northern Expedition, the Qin family
He donated a total of 40 million yuan for military expenses, and it is not an exaggeration to claim that he is the richest man in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is almost equivalent to half the income of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Qin family's business spread throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, mainly operating teahouses, restaurants, and academies, as well as ceramics, cloth, tea, etc. Qin Zhuo also built a logistics and transportation industry throughout the Southern Song Dynasty. However, the Qin family was also unlucky. Like the Guo family, Han Yuzhou died.
, the family was suppressed. Qin Zhuo donated money to Shi Miyuan repeatedly to save the family business. Now it is in decline. Despite this, the Qin family is still a wealthy man in Lin'an.
In the original history, a few years later, they were suppressed again and eventually went bankrupt and their family was ruined.
"Is the little fat man a descendant of the traitor Qin Hui?" Quan Yong was a little excited after hearing this: "Then I have to beat him up again."
Zhao Yurui looked at him as if he was a bastard. I didn't expect that there were people like this in the Southern Song Dynasty. Why are you so excited?
He grabbed Quan Yong and thought, these people all have backgrounds and are nobles of the capital, so it would be best if they could win over them.
I heard from Yuan Mihai that Zhong You is the leader among the five. There is nothing we can do about it. His sister, Mrs. Zhong, is now very popular and is the favorite of the officials.
"What is this friend Zhong's hobby?" Zhao Yurui asked.
"He just likes listening to music." Yuan Mihai said: "Every time he comes to Guanwen Academy, he just wants to listen to Master Sai singing and dancing."
Zhao Yurui also thought that just now in Guanwen Academy, Zhong You paid for Lan'er Ling'er to sing again. It seems that this person is still a music lover.
The eldest among these five people is only twenty years old, and the rest are less than twenty, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen, which are considered quite big in the Southern Song Dynasty, but in Zhao Yurui's eyes, they are all half-grown children, underage, this is good
What a lie.
Let’s go, sell a kid, oh no, make friends.
Zhao Yurui walked back struttingly, and Quan Yong was still holding his boots to show off his power.
None of the five people dared to snort now, their minds must have been thinking about how to take revenge.
But now that they know that Zhao Yurui is the King of Yi, it is difficult for them to take revenge and they cannot do it openly.
"It's already so late, and everyone has to go home. I would like to say a few words." Zhao Yurui said arrogantly: "Just now, after listening to Yuan Mihai's words, I realized that you are all nobles of the capital."<
/p>
"Everyone can be considered one of our own, and we have no grudges or grudges."
The five people said nothing, with expressions on their faces. Zhong You still looked dissatisfied.
Zhao Yurui continued: "Let's do this, I know you may be dissatisfied."
"Let's change the venue another day. It's not a fight, but a literary contest. If you lose, not only will you have to pay money and apologize to me, but you will also recognize me as the boss in the future."
The five people continued to remain silent.
Quan Yong on the side said: "Cousin, stop talking, they don't dare to compete."
"Who are you saying doesn't dare? What's the comparison?" Zhong You said angrily, "playing chess, calligraphy and painting, you let your horse come over? Is Wen Bi afraid of you?
He looked back at the Zhao Ping brothers. Zhao Ping and Zhao Shu were both civil servants in Yinbu, waiting for orders in the capital. They were good at playing, playing, playing, playing, playing, playing, playing, calligraphy and painting.
Zhao Shu's later work "Yangwen Manbi" was also recorded in Sikuquanshu.
"Let's compete in three games: chess, billiards, and mahjong. We'll win two out of three games." Zhao Yurui said.
Haha, five people laughed.
Zhong You was very good at Go, and even went to the palace to play with the emperor when he was young. However, Song Ningzong gradually ran out of time, but Zhong You's chess skills as a boy were still famous in the capital.
Wait, what's the trick about billiards and mahjong?
"What is billiards and mahjong?"
"One is like Cuju, and the other is like Ye Zi Opera. Why, you haven't played it before?" Zhao Yurui said deliberately.
"Who hasn't played before?" Zhong You blushed with embarrassment and said angrily: "Come here."
Qin Chen around him was smarter, and it was too late to win over Zhong You, so Zhong You agreed directly.
"It's okay if you haven't played it before. It's easy to learn. I'll teach you when the time comes. Of course, if you are afraid and don't dare, forget it. We can compete with each other in chess, calligraphy and painting. It's just that I am known as the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid I won't be able to win.
Wu." Zhao Yurui shook the paper fan lightly, with a confident look on his face.
"Who dares to say that?" Zhao Ping also said angrily.
"What if you lose?" Guo Chengzhang said at this time.
"Apologise with money?"
"I don't want money." Zhong You gritted his teeth and said, "Kneel down for me."
It must be nice to have King Yi kneel down, Zhong You thought.
"Okay." Zhao Yurui said: "If you win, I will let Master Sai sing a song for you alone, and it will be a new song that you have never heard."
Zhong You looked suspicious.
Quan Yong said deliberately: "Is it like what Lan'er Ling'er sings?"
"Of course."
The hearts of Zhong You and the other five people were suddenly moved.
"You are serious about what you said." Zhong You was a little excited.
"How can I, the king, be joking?" Zhao Yurui said angrily, I am King Yi after all.
"Okay, let's compete." The five of them said almost in unison.
Now they agreed to have another literary competition after mid-September.
Among them, the gambling amount is 100,000 yuan, and only copper coins and silver are accepted, and no money is required.
At that time, Zhong You and others were shocked. Quan Yong did not expect his cousin to be so cruel. Yuan Mihai almost vomited blood.
King Yi is obsessed with money.
After Zhao Yurui finished speaking, everyone in the audience looked at the little fat Qin Chen.
Qin Chen stammered: "With so much money----I have to ask---my father---"
Zhao Yurui looked contemptuous and shook his paper fan: "Anyway, if I lose, I will pay you. If you don't have so much money, don't force it. It doesn't matter if I take less."
"Who are you looking down on? One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand." Zhong You was furious.
"Then - it's settled, Lao Yuan, you are the witness, let's go."
On the way back, Zhao Yurui kept shaking his head, and Quan Yong looked anxiously: "Is there something wrong with my cousin?"
"No, I was thinking, these people are so stupid, why do they have so much money? They should give it all to me."
".."Quan Yong.
This must be the first time in Quan Yong's life that he has heard of so much money. Zhao Yurui has made a lot of money recently and is already worth more than 100,000 yuan.
He couldn't help but murmured: "Cousin, if we win again, we won't be able to spend all the money. What should we do?"
"Ba" Zhao Yurui Hentie slapped him on the buttocks with a fan: "You prodigal son, such a small amount of money is not enough for me to spend, and I can't spend it all."
Quan Yong's face was full of confusion, and he couldn't figure out why his cousin wanted so much money.
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when I returned to my house.
Today’s rotation is Li Zongmian.
He is a famous minister and wise prime minister in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the past, he would have gone to bed at this time, but today King Yi has not returned, and he has not slept either. As soon as Zhao and Rui returned to the palace, they saw someone sitting in the courtyard waiting for him, it was Li Zongmian.
It's summer, and there are a lot of mosquitoes outside. Li Zongmian is waiting outside, and he probably wants to persuade Cambodia.
