Five hundred and ninetieth chapters Xing Wenge
In a beautiful manor outside Chenzhou Gate, Bianjing City.
Xing Wenge was dressed in gorgeous clothes and walked on the bus surrounded by many followers.
A four-wheeled carriage with a gorgeous appearance but not overbearing!
With the completion of the comprehensive renewal project of internal and external transportation in Bianjing City, the cement floor has been completely unfolded. The flat road surface has also made four-wheeled carriages completely popular.
Even if this thing is at most running around the capital, it is impossible to travel around the north and south - because the traffic environment does not allow it, four-wheeled carriages need flat roads, and now Zhao Song is not able to pave the cement roads across the country - but once it was introduced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was spread rapidly among the rich class.
Xing Wenge is a member of the Xing clan of the foreign relative. He has developed easily over the years with his status convenience.
Especially after the eldest son was enthroned by the crown prince, the gold and silver were like the sea tide and could not stop him from rushing into his arms.
Xing Wenge's life has really undergone earth-shaking changes compared to ten years ago.
Therefore, from beginning to end, I understand why Xing Wenge, who made his fortune, has a strong sense of unity for the Xing family.
According to his original plan today, he was going to Moutuogang to watch polo.
As the outside world was flattened, a large number of horses poured into the Central Plains, and the Central Plains was in full swing, the number of horses among the people and the civilians who could ride horses increased day by day.
This naturally expanded the mass base for "polo".
In addition, if you like something, you will have a lot of advantages. The upper class of Zhao and Song dynasties promoted polo, and Zhao thought of using this to inspire the martial arts spirit of the high-ranking officials and nobles, which would naturally have a great impact on the middle and lower classes.
So much so that now, polo, a "game" that was played by only the rich and powerful in the past, has quickly spread among the middle and lower classes.
The polo tournament in Moutuogang not only attracted countless high-ranking officials, but also countless middle- and lower-level fans.
Because it used to be the Royal Polo Stadium owned by the royal family, after being "opened up" by Zhao Gou, it naturally became the supreme stage in the polo world. Not to mention that there are not only polo stadiums in Moutuogang, but also horse racing, sumo corners and football matches every day - Zhao Gou had already moved Tiansijian to Yanjing and Hanoi, and the military role of Moutuogang had been cleared and turned into a gold-selling cave.
Yes, the Golden Cave is a much larger than the Pan Tower and Fan Tower. Because Zhao Gou has a stall in Moutuogang!
The Song people were prosperous, and they were all over the country, regardless of poverty or low, and they all liked to play tricks.
However, under Zhao Gou's rule, private plays are against the law. If you want to play tricks, you can only go to the dungeon. The latter has the permission of the government and holds a business license, and has to pay a lot of money to the government. In addition, it is not allowed.
Moutuogang has many good ways to attract people, which is very attractive in itself. Now there is a stall again. Whether it is polo, football, horn-to-sumo wrestling and horse racing, the corresponding stalls are all swallowing wealth as endlessly as bottomless pits.
At the same time, while Mutuogang became a place for countless people to enjoy themselves, it also became a place for wealthy and prominent people to gather.
Although there was a saying in China that "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water" for a long time, it is obvious that there are very few "true gentlemen" in society. "The friendship between villains is as sweet as honey" is the true love of the general public.
Xing Wenge likes Moutuogang very much, and he wishes he spends half of the year to spend soaking there because he treats Moutuogang as a social place.
Most of his "business" was negotiated there.
In order to better establish his name, he even invested in establishing a football team. He cannot be said to be first-class and top-notch in the Bianjing area, but he is also a top-notch second-rate team. With the reputation of his Xing family, he can also show off on the big court in Moutuogang three or five times a year.
This is already very glorious. It is rare to achieve this step as his identity. If the upward horse racing and polo team are not touched by people like him.
For the Xing family, only the relatives of the person in the palace are qualified to intervene in the horse racing owner and the host of the polo team.
But Xing Wenge liked Mou Tuogang no matter how much he received Xing Huan's call, he went into the city without looking back.
The gorgeous four-wheeled carriage is still very eye-catching outside Bianjing City. It is like a BBA in later generations, a good car!
But when the carriage entered Bianjing City, especially when it entered the inner city where wealthy and powerful people were gathering, it was not conspicuous at all.
The streets are full of Ferraris, Lamboniki, and luxury cars. Who would go to see good cars like four circles?
If you really don’t enter the inner city, you won’t know how many noble people there are in Bianjing City!
Xing Wenge is not jealous.
Because the roads are chosen by people themselves.
When he chose to do business and wealth, there would be gains and losses!
Xing Huan has been granted the title of Duke, but his Duke is a lifetime title and he is not often eliminated. But when his son inherits the title, he will definitely not be a Duke.
After years of development, the Xing family today is much different from the time when Zhao Gou entered Bian Jing.
Although there are still not many high-ranking officials showing their positions, there are still several middle-level officials with real power in the fourth and fifth ranks.
However, there was no one in the main hall of the Duke's Mansion today.
Xing Wenge discovered that the Xing family members who attended today were all like him who devoted themselves to the business world. They only had civil servants and had limited social status (compared to the Xing family), but they were all worth a lot of money.
"You are all children of the Xing family, so I won't cover it up. I invite you to come today, but I really want you to do something."
The Western Liao mission is about to arrive in Bianjing.
How to deal with Western Liao is a matter that has been decided by the court cabinet, the Governor's Office of the Five Army, etc.
On the one hand, the Song Dynasty sent some Dangxiang people and Khitans to the Western Liao to enrich the foundation of Yelu Dashi and Richard; on the other hand, it loaned to the Western Liao so that the latter could quickly replenish its vitality.
Whether it is food, food, or military weapons, those are things that Western Liao urgently need.
If the people of all ethnic groups and tribes in the Qincha grassland who were conquered by them could get a lot of food and cloth, medicines and iron pots, and substances that were urgently needed in life, how much more nostalgia would they have for the previous Kepchak Khanate?
And if the soldiers under Yelu Dashi and Richard were infected with the swords, spears and equipment produced by the Song Dynasty, and if they were equipped with the Song Dynasty's bows, crossbows, stone cannons, or even some medicine powder weapons, how much will their combat effectiveness be improved?
Yelu Dashi and the others could not resist this temptation.
However, Zhao Gou was not so kind to ask Zhao Song to pay money and work to arm the Western Liao Dynasty.
Zhao Song officials will naturally provide some support to Western Liao, but most of the sources are still borrowing!
