    Yang Fu walked slowly down the small street of Chongxianfang with his hands behind his back. Beside him, there were several servants from the Prince Consort's House following him at his disposal. As he walked, looking at Zixiong, he felt that he was in Chang'an.  In the city, he is also considered a figure.  He is a servant of the consort Yang Hui's family. Yang Hui's mother is a princess, and he took the princess as his own. He is favored by the Li Tang royal family, which is rare in the world.  The so-called seventh-grade official of the Prime Minister's Concierge, Yang Fu had been a servant for forty years and had accumulated quite a fortune.  He himself had to wait in the princess's mansion, so he bought a two-bedroom courtyard in Chongxianfang and separated it. By renting it alone, he could make dozens of dollars a year just by renting it to the scholars who came to Beijing to take exams and the Hu businessmen who came from east to west.  Hundreds of strings.  Every once in a while, he would come to his house in Chongxianfang to see if the tenants took good care of the house. This was the case today.  "Steward, look, he's playing football!" Seeing that he was in a good mood, a boy next to him suddenly pointed at a group of shirtless men in the open space by the road.  "Well, the football drama is very popular these days. It is said that there will be a Chang'an League, with Princess Yuzhen and Twenty-nine Niangs supporting it behind the scenes." Yang Fu commented calmly, saying that he was well-informed.  Football drama is now the hottest game in Chang'an City, just like the weather at this time.  Even Princess Xianyi's Mansion has two teams of young servants who are kicking around every day - Princess Xianyi's Mansion cannot be left behind in the most popular sports in Chang'an today.  As for the league affairs, there are currently rumors. Because the name of Princess Yuzhen is in charge, people like Yang Fu have no other thoughts for the time being.  ¡°After all, except for a few people such as Ye Chang, no one else realized that this was a huge market with an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan.  "The teams in our house will naturally participate in the Chang'an League A. It is said that there are only twelve teams!" said a boy.  "That's natural. Who else can compete with us?" "Qiao Laoqi is good at playing Cuju, so why not switch to football? People say that Cuju is played by women. Gentlemen, naturally.  Go on a rampage and play football." Yang Fu listened to the discussion of the boys with a smile, thinking about how to place his own people in the football team of the Princess Mansion. This was also a way to consolidate his position in the Princess Mansion.  At this moment, he saw a group of people surrounding the two of them before they entered the yard. He didn't know what was going on, and his brows suddenly furrowed.  "Young men, go and see who is ignorant and comes to make trouble in front of my house." A young boy had already rushed forward to flatter him.  But to Yang Fu's expectation, the boy at the front did not have a seizure. Instead, he poked his head outside the crowd with a smile on his face.  Yang Fu knew that he had just thought wrong, and he was afraid that someone was not making trouble.  Sure enough, when I got closer, I heard a half-baked Chinese voice: "I said I won't rent, so I won't rent. I rented this place, how can I rent it to you?" The speaker was Yang Fu.  The tenants are a group of international students from Japan. They were unable to enter Taixue, so they rented a house here and occasionally went to Taixue to audit.  "That's subletting. I love the secluded place here, and I'm willing to pay double the price, so you can use the money to rent another yard." "We don't want to, we also love the secluded place here!" Yang Fu heard this  He got "double the price" and immediately became angry. He pushed aside the crowd and walked over: "It's up to you to decide whether you want it or not. Someone is the owner of this house!" As soon as he appeared, the neighbors on the left and right dispersed slightly:  Relying on the power of the Princess Mansion, Yang Fu's reputation in this place is not very good.  When the Japanese students saw him coming forward, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They were foreign students who came to Tang Dynasty in the 21st year of Kaiyuan Dynasty. They lived in Chang'an for a long time. They moved out after living in Sifangguan for a year. The long-term students who dealt with Yang Fu  Yes, I know this person is really greedy for money.  If he were a real businessman, he would have to consider some credibility, but Yang Fu was not a real businessman. He only rented a house to make extra money, so he didn't care about his reputation.  "If you pay three times the price, I will rent this house to you!" Yang Fu ignored the Japanese and turned to the other party in the dispute.  At this time, the Japanese respected and feared the Tang Dynasty. They were so respectful that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, who was really not very discerning, actually thought that Japan was a country of gentlemen who knew etiquette.  Seeing that Yang Fu was so strong, the Japanese did not argue, but just stood aside with embarrassed faces.  The person fighting against the Japanese was a young man with a plain appearance, dressed in brocade, and followed by several servants, all of whom were also dressed in luxury.  There was a Wu sound in his words: "I came from Yangzhou and wanted to be famous in Chang'an in preparation for the imperial examination next year. I want to find a secluded courtyard to study - can you make the decision? You can make the decision. Money is not an issue!"The descendant of a rich man!  Hearing the identity of this person, Yang Fu's eyes suddenly lit up again. Such a talented person is not common. Among the scholars and scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam, only those from Yangzhou or Sichuan could have such a heroic spirit of spending a lot of money.  .  "Long-term rent?" "At least until the start of the course next year. If you win next year, you have to wait until the official election in October." "I see that Mr. Lang has an extraordinary appearance and strong bones. He must be a high school student!" Yang Fu complimented in his mouth, but in his heart  But I was thinking: "You, a rich man like me, can't win in this life, so you can always rent my house!" "Who are you, the owner of this house?" The man made a "bang" sound and opened the folding jade fan.  Being exposed in front of Yang Fu made Yang Fu swallow again.  There is no doubt that this is the kind of right army fan with five sticks and one handle - because it was originally held by the new scholars to show off, it was also called the Jinshi fan.  This guy is indeed a rich man, and he doesn't care about playing with such a fan in his hands.  "Exactly, exactly, the villain is the owner of the house." Since the other party is rich, Yang Fu doesn't want to show off his role in managing the princess's house, and he has already said what he calls himself "the villain".  "I have taken a fancy to this house of yours. Here is a deposit of fifteen thousand dollars. You will clear out the idle people and I will move in today. Where can I find good furniture and furnishings in Chang'an City? Take me to pick them out. What is in your house?"  Get rid of all the rubbish!" Before signing the contract, I had already paid fifteen thousand dollars!  Yang Fu was smiling broadly, almost grinning from ear to ear. The few servants following him also whispered congratulations. Such a high-profile guest meant that he, Yang Fu, was going to make a small fortune.  "I will give you your rent money. I will move out immediately. The move will be completed within half a day. Don't wait for me to report to the official!" Facing the rich young man, Yang Fu had a straight face and turned to face the group of Japanese.  International students have another face.  These Japanese students do have a little money, but they are stingy with their money, so they can't compare to the high-rollers from Yangzhou.  Yang Fu could figure out the choice between them even with his knees.  Those Japanese international students knew his identity. Seeing his appearance, not only were they not angry, but they respectfully stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you Yang Langjun for taking care of you all these years, and thank you Yang Langjun for giving us half a day." See you, the rich man from Yangzhou.  They looked sincere, and could not help but show surprise on their faces: "Master of the house, it seems that you have an extraordinary status. These people actually respect you so much?" Yang Fulu was a little proud, seeing those Japanese students.  He snorted and pulled the rich young man aside: "A certain person named Yang, with the word "rich" in his name, is in charge of Princess Xianyi's mansion" When the rich young man heard about this identity, he couldn't help but be in awe, dismounted and handed over his hands.  : "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm the housekeeper of your lord's house!" "I don't dare to take it seriously. These people are scholars from the Tang Dynasty who were sent to me by Japan as envoys to the Tang Dynasty. They respect me not because of my identity, but because of Japan.  The customs of the country. Don¡¯t look at their respectful faces, it¡¯s because they know that I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. If you see how they treat barbarians like Silla, Annan or the Western Regions, you will know the nature of these people. "  The rich man nodded: "I was in Yangzhou and I met Japanese people. They really have such a temperament." "If you want to buy furniture, you have to go to the West Market. So, will you send someone to take your husband to the West Market right now?"  Yang Fu said again.  "No hurry, no rush. I am very happy to be able to make friends with such a noble person as Manager Yang. If I am the host of a place where the wine is good in this shop, I would like to ask Manager Yang to tell me." "I haven't asked Mr. Lang for his name yet." "  His surname is Wang, his given name is Qinian, and his given name is Xinzhi. "The man replied with a smile: "A person from Yangzhou has studied hard for ten years and felt successful, so he came to Chang'an in order to get rich." He was so frank, Yang Fu laughed.  "My husband has lofty ambitions, and wealth is bound to come. I just hope that he will not forget me, a poor and humble person." "How can I be poor and humble as a housekeeper in your lord's house?" The rich man who called himself Wang Qinian clicked his tongue.  The two tested each other. From Wang Qinian's attitude, Yang Fu judged that this man actually wanted to visit Princess Xianyi.  Chang'an City is the political and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to be a Jinshi, you must have enough reputation in Chang'an City. And if you want to have enough reputation, you must go to "Qian Ye", that is, go to find powerful people with your own poems.  They "contribute".  If you are appreciated by powerful people, no matter what kind of recommendation, you can force popular recommendations, Wenhua category pop-ups, and these great recommendations will naturally increase your popularity, and people will naturally come to recommend, vote, and even give rewards. What's the point of a great master?  It's true, there are many people below the list who were captured by the powerful and became their sons-in-law.  But if you want to go to Gan Ye, you also need to have a way. Every year, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 scholars who come to the capital hoping to become famous. When they pass the imperial examination, the gatekeepers of the powerful and powerful will receive Gan Ye's poems and essays, which can be used as candidates.??Sell.  Under such circumstances, the officials and relatives of each government were naturally in high demand. In previous years, Yang Fu made a lot of extra money by relying on the scholars and Confucian scholars who came to visit Yang Wei to deliver poems and essays to Yang Wei.  Otherwise, only by the work money in the Malaysia Mansion, how can he buy a house in the Chang'an City of Chang'an.  The two of them each had their own agendas, and after talking about it, they both felt it was extremely speculative.  However, Yang Fu was in charge of the Prince Consort's Mansion and could not stay out for a long time, so he said to Wang Qinian: "I still have something to do in the Prince Consort's Mansion. If Wang Langjun doesn't give up, I will meet Wang Langjun again in three days." "It's easy to say.  It's easy to say, please do it yourself, Manager Yang!" Wang Qinian was not in a hurry to reveal his feelings, and the two laughed and left.  Even so, Yang Fu ordered people to keep an eye on Wang Qinian. Every day, news about this Wang Langjun spending a lot of money in the furniture store and fighting for prostitutes in Fengyue Tower spread to Yang one after another.  Rich ears.  There was also news that Wang Langjun was trying to find out whether he was really in charge of the Prince Consort's Mansion. This news made Yang Fu feel certain that this person would definitely come to ask for help from him.  Sure enough, three days later, he came out of the Prince Consort's Mansion to see Wang Qinian again. Wang Qinian tested his tone and asked if he could pay a visit for him.  Yang Fu sternly refused: "Although I serve as a steward in the Prince Consort's Mansion and can see my Prince Consort's face day and night, my Prince Consort has repeatedly said that we should not pay homage to others. Although Wang Langjun is a great talent, please do not harm me." "  Manager Yang is now out of sight, and to be honest, a certain family is counting on someone to be a Jinshi to support the family, so they want to succeed at any cost. This person from Yangzhou has no relatives, friends, or old friends, but he is happy to see that Manager Yang is a good person.  I'm generous, so I ask for it shamelessly. If Manager Yang helps me, I will give you something." Wang Qinian took out a piece of paper as he said it. Yang Fu tilted his head and glanced at it, and then his eyes widened.  .  It turned out to be a land deed from Zhuangzi!  "It is impossible for a certain person to bring this much money to Beijing. The advance people bought a village in the capital. The village is not big, only more than 100 acres to 200 acres of land. I just want Manager Yang to make it convenient!" Yang Fu worked hard!  He swallowed his saliva. This land of more than one hundred acres was in the capital of Guanzhong. It was unusual!  If it was the land of Yangzhou, he would definitely not think about it, because he couldn't take care of it. Even the land of Luoyang, the eastern capital, he would not covet. Only this land of Gyeonggi and it belongs to Chang'an County, Yang Fu knew it very well.  , that place is only half a day¡¯s journey from the capital.  He can definitely take care of Zhuangzi while taking care of the errands of the Prince Consort!  ?According to the land price at this time, more than a hundred acres of land is worth a few hundred thousand dollars. Naturally, the value will be different depending on the fat and thinness, but it is at least worth a few hundred dollars.  What's more, this is still mature land, with a small village and several tenant farmers on it.  The more he thought about it, the hotter Yang Fu's heart became.  The so-called desire to make one's mind faint, at this moment, all he was thinking about was how to get this Zhuangzi.  At this moment, Wang Qinian said again: "It's hot today, but my Zhuangzi is still cool. If Manager Yang is free, why don't you come with me to visit Zhuangzi, which can also be a way to escape the heat - what do you think?" Yang  Fu calculated in his heart, seeing with his own eyes was believing, and hearing with his own eyes was false. If he saw Zhuangzi with his own eyes, as this stupid guy from outside said, then it would not be a big deal at all if he helped this stupid guy hand over the papers.  He was about to agree, but Wang Qinian said again: "If Manager Yang really doesn't dare, I won't be embarrassed. I just ask Manager Yang to introduce me to the chief steward of the Prince Consort's mansion. I must give the steward two pairs of shoe soles." How about two pairs of shoe soles?  Can it be compared with a farm worth hundreds of dollars?  Moreover, these words also reminded Yang Fu that if the other stewards of the Prince Consort's Mansion knew about it, wouldn't they all come to snatch such a good thing?  We can¡¯t let the other stewards of the Prince Consort know!  "I'll send someone back to ask for leave, and then I'll go out with you to meet you." Yang Fu said immediately.
