Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 118: The Crowd

Although Xue Mu has a little interest in Yinzhuang currency and wants to communicate with Pu Xiang, currency and banking is not his specialty after all, and he is not even an expert at all. To put it bluntly, I just saw the bank in its original form, and I became interested in seeing it from the perspective of a "city lord". In fact, he has no idea what role modern banking can play in this world, so the degree of attention Not very high either.

From the perspective of his interest, in the Yanyang Sect, he wanted to get in touch with the suzerain Wen Hao more. At that time, he told Pu Xiang that he would go to the Yanyang Sect for a return visit, and the main purpose was to meet Wen Hao.

Don't look at this guy being beaten and crying by Xue Qingqiu, it seems embarrassing, but actually being beaten and crying by Xue Qingqiu is not shameful at all. He has an identity that Xue Mu attaches great importance to: a musician.

Music is the natural art of human beings. It is something that can develop naturally in any world system. Even the rain hitting the plantains is pure natural music. It is very easy to arouse human spiritual resonance or hearing without any tricks. enjoy. Especially in this world, music can also be developed as an accompanying subject of martial arts, so the level of development is very high, and people also respect music masters, which is why Menglan's "Qin Fairy" has risen.

However, court officials and scholars who tend to be social and humanistic are more fond of music if they fail to practice martial arts and are discriminated against for literature. What's more, he still likes relatively pure music, and he is very disgusted with the utilitarian music of Xingyue Sect and Hehuan Sect, which uses charm and music to charm people's hearts.

After being beaten up by Xue Qingqiu, Wen Hao, who was so disheartened and turned his attention to mountains and rivers, obviously had more of the secluded and elegant atmosphere of the mountains and forests than the original Yanyang Sect Master Wen, and less of the utilitarian charm of the people. Unable to achieve success in martial arts in this world, Wenqing is everywhere, what they like is this feeling, and Wen Hao's musical attainments are indeed very high, so gradually he has gained some fame in music. Officials, scholars, arty businessmen, and even warriors who love this way, have such exchanges of landscape music from time to time, and spontaneously formed a concept similar to "club", which can be called "Lingzhou Music Association"? Wen Hao is almost the core leader of this "association".

What interests Xue Mu the most is that these people's music exchanges from time to time have led to the gradual sprouting of lyrics and singing, which have begun to break away from the original folk song form. Visually, if the development continues, poetry and songs should also make great progress.

Even if Xue Mu does not appear, most of the literature in this world will start to grow slowly, and there will be such soil in peaceful times. Xue Mu is very interested in witnessing this kind of development, and this has a very important role in promoting his star-making plan of the Xingyuezong.

Speaking of which, this Yanyang sect is very interesting, there are philistines who make money, some who practice martial arts, and some who play music. Without the unity of the "Tao", a sect that should have a common form has turned into a mob of all kinds. It is no longer a sect, and it is closer to the Gang of Jianghu.

Xue Mu knew that Pu Xiang could not be the only one at the banquet. Invite the chief executive of the Xingyue Sect and the city lord of Lingzhou, can he carry his own suzerain behind his back? Obviously impossible.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the box, he saw that there was also an old man with a handsome appearance, Qu Wenxiu, who was leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, tapping his fingers on the table leisurely, humming a tune.

Hearing the sound of Xue Mu entering the door, the old man stopped his tune and opened his eyes. Pu Xiang laughed, and stood up to greet him: "Is Manager Xue hungry? Come here, let's have some pastries first. What are you guys still doing, go and let Lao Wu serve the food."

Xue Mu clasped his hands and said, "There are some urgent matters at the moment..."

"Hey, it's okay, Director Xue is a busy person, unlike us who have nothing to do all day." Pu Xiang pushed him on the head seat, took a plate of pastries and put it in front of him: "Koufulou is a time-honored brand in Lingzhou. The stuff is pretty good."

Xue Mu was not afraid of being poisoned, so he ate a piece to confirm that it was not poisonous, and then handed the plate to Zhuo Qingqing: "For everyone to eat."

Zhuo Qingqing went to share the cakes with a smile, and a strange look flashed in Pu Xiang's eyes.

He saw a lot of people, and he could tell that Xue Mu's eating first was not for the superiors, but for the girls to test the poison...

This kind of inadvertent performance of heart-warming and cherishing flowers is really easy to impress a woman's heart. It really is not unreasonable for Xue Mu to be able to flourish in the Xingyue Sect.

"Boss Xue came here, it's my Yanyang Sect's face." Pu Xiang toasted a glass of wine, and introduced the old man with a smile: "This is our Sect Master Wen."

Xue Mu had expected it a long time ago, and raised his glass in greeting: "Below are the 50th generation disciples of the Xingyue Sect, and Sect Master Wen is my uncle. Xue Mu respects my uncle."

Wen Hao sighed desolately: "Old man, Wen's cultivation base has not advanced but retreated in recent years, and he can no longer be a master uncle."

Xue Mu laughed: "Cultivation doesn't represent everything these days. Brother Pu Xiang's and Xue's cultivations are both shameful, so don't they also have some effect?"

Wen Hao also laughed: "That's true. The stars, the moon, and the sun are all thanks to the two of you. In addition, it is said that recently there is a qin fairy who is very popular. It can be seen that music is gradually being valued by the world. I am very relieved."

Xue Mudao: "Music is an art that reflects human emotions. It can express ambition, arouse feelings, and express emotions. Xue has always felt that it is too biased to use the charm that accompanies martial arts."

Wen Hao's eyes lit up: "A true confidant."

Xue Mu said again: "I heard that Uncle Wen is quite famous among scholars and officials in Lingzhou?"

Wen Hao waved his hands and sighed: "It's nothing more than a person who loves wine and sex, what's the name?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Xue Muruo smiled meaningfully.

At this moment, he has no intention of going too deep into the matter of music. Wen Hao still needs to be observed. You must know that there are a large number of officials, scholars and businessmen in Wen Hao's current circle of contacts. Or use this gesture to invite people's hearts and weave a net in Lingzhou?

He didn't go into details, but turned to Pu Xiang: "A real person has a good sense of money, I, Xue Mu, admire it very much. To be honest, most people can't think of the model of collecting money and lending in a bank."

This brought the topic to the main topic here. Pu Xiang shook his wine glass and said with a smile: "At first, some foreign businessmen and friends thought that I, Pu Xiang, was trustworthy, and there was a sect's force behind me. They A large amount of gold and silver that is inconvenient to take away is temporarily stored with me. One day when I went to the casino, I saw gamblers who had lost everything and looked for people to borrow money... I looked at it and suddenly felt that those friends would also need a couple of dollars to go. I only came back in 2009, and the money I have here is still on the shelf, why don’t you take it out for a loan?”

Xue Mu sighed with a smile: "There are many silver villages. They just accept storage fees to make a profit. They don't dare to move gold and silver deposits for fear of ruining their credit. Only real people can think of using money to make money."

Pu Xiang was a little proud of being praised, and laughed haha.

Xue Mu's smile became a bit weird, he glanced at Wen Hao, and said to Pu Xiang: "I wonder if the real person is interested in returning to the Xingyue sect? The Xingyue sect really needs such talents."

Wen Hao was nervous for a while.

A glint flashed in Pu Xiang's small eyes, and then he put on an awe-inspiring look: "I, Pu Xiang, have received great kindness from the suzerain and entrusted my sect's finances with full authority. How can I abandon it? Hugh!"

Not to mention Xue Mu, Zhuo Qingqing, who had been reminded by Xue Mu before, could tell that this person really meant to rejoin the Xingyue Sect... Now that he is doing such a gesture, it is just to show his loyalty and courage. self-promotion. If Xue Mu really needed such a talent, he would naturally be responsible for persuading Wen Hao, so that he, Pu Xiang, would not be suspected of "rebellion" and be included in the Xingyue Sect "unwillingly".

Zhuo Qingqing looked at Xue Mu with anticipation. Since it was all in the young master's expectation, she really wanted to know what the young master would do.

Xue Mu just said in admiration: "He is really a loyal man, and Xue admires him even more. By the way, the real man is now rich, right? He earns a thousand dollars a year?"

"Where is there!" Pu Xiang waved his hand very modestly: "Most of them are the funds of the sect, and I, Pu Xiang, am a person. Well, it is almost a yearly income, not too much, not too much."

Seemingly humble, in fact, full of contentment. It is really not much in this world for a person to earn a thousand dollars a year. Even the suzerains of the super sects or those profiteers in the Zonghengdao, although the money they handed over is just a figure, strictly speaking, it is not their personal money. Personally, if I dare to say that the income is higher than that of Pu Xiang, I am afraid that there will be no two slaps in the world. For Pu Xiang, who started from the Yanyang sect from a poor and a poor family, it is definitely something to be proud of.

"As expected of a real person, the efficiency of making money is high, unlike a stupid person like me..." Xue Mu sighed in admiration, and reached out to take out two wooden tokens from his arms: "In order to earn these two tokens, just It took me more than ten days."

"Boss Xue is just getting started, don't be in a hurry... eh? Wait..." Pu Xiang casually grabbed the sign and glanced at it, suddenly his eyes almost popped out, and he jumped three feet high: "You said you used How long, how long?"

Zhuo Qingqing smiled.
