I beat animals and picked up debris in the courtyard of the heavens

Chapter 214 Wang Chi
In the 48th year of Qianlong's reign, Wu Bingjian's father, Wu Guoying, founded Yihehang. He took his son Bingjian's childhood name "Yahao" as the business name, and Westerners called it "Haoguan".The business name has been used by its descendants and became a well-known name in the international business circle in the first half of the 19th century.

At that time, Hangshang Garden was the most important place for dealing with Western merchants.The Wujia Garden, as the leading merchant's garden at that time, was highly respected and praised by Westerners, and even became one of the most popular depictions in the Thirteen Lines' export paintings.

There are many written descriptions about the Wujia Garden, which allow us to have a glimpse of the garden.

Wu Guanlan recorded in "Miyuan Shan Guan Shi Chao": "Anhai, on the side of the stream gorge, is where the Wu family lives. Among them are three bridges over the Shegang Lotus Pond, Tu Tu Temple, Xiuhuang Dai, and winding roads leading to secluded places. scene."

American writer and naturalist Moshi also left a sketch and recorded the Wu's ancestral hall in the garden: "The overall effect of the ancestral hall is very spectacular, and the architectural skills are excellent. The outline and proportion of the gate are well designed. You can only see the approximate effect."

Wu Chuoyu, a descendant of the Wu family, described the scenery of Wansong Garden in "Miscellaneous Thoughts on Wansong Garden": "...there is a Taihu stone standing inside the gate, with clouds and rain at its feet, and an exquisite cave that is more than ten feet high, and is inscribed by Mi Yuanzhang. The pool is several acres wide and connects to the stream. There are long and short stone bridges, and pavilions are leaning on the side. The reflection is picturesque. There is a gate at the water mouth, which is connected to the stream gorge. In the past, painted boats were often parked in the pool. There is Shuiyue Palace, which is on the top of the mountain. Outside the wall is The sea-building Mahavira Palace. The ancient trees inside and outside are as tall as the sky, just like the fairy mountain pavilions in the reflection pool, which is very interesting."

Henan Wujia Garden is the main garden of the Wu family.In the 8th year of Jiaqing (1803), Wu Bingjian bought land and built a house in Anhai Township on the east bank of Shuzhuyong, Henan, Guangzhou.The courtyard is triangular in shape, with Haizhuan Temple and Panjia Garden on the east and west sides respectively; ancestral halls, gardens, etc. are distributed in the garden, mainly including Yueya Hall, Baolun Building, Tingtao Building, Yanhui Building, Wansong Garden... …

He Yuzhu noticed Wu Bingjian and Daoguang's rewards when he was wandering in the garden. After looking at the faces of the girls, he had to say that they were all very beautiful!
Unlike He Yuzhu's previous impression, there were no beauties in the Qing Dynasty, and even the queens and concubines in the palace were ugly women!

Of course, compared to the beauties rewarded by other dynasties, it is still a bit inferior, but He Yuzhu only needs to contract them to increase their spiritual power and enhance their mental defense. To be honest, He Yuzhu really doesn't care much about the rest!
He Yuzhu directly used the source point to contract these people, and had no intention of releasing them at all. He just let them wait in the system space to be summoned.

A few hours before the time went back, No. 14 super-rich people who are incomparably rich began to take inventory...

This time it was Song Ziwen, a character from the period of the Republic of China. Because He Yuzhu was afraid of causing trouble, he didn't expand on this character. He just talked a little about his life and took it all away!

Even so, it also caused a lot of repercussions during the Republic of China, but because there seems to be no reward this time? !People's interest in this inventory is not as high as before!
Well, this is because He Yuzhu was thinking about going to bed and forgot about the reward!

However, I realized this later, so I simply waited until the inventory was all over to distribute the rewards together.

The No. 13 super-rich man who is as rich as a country is still from the Qing Dynasty. Wang Chi, whose name is Xingzhai, is from Hongxi, Mile County, Yunnan.A red-capped businessman ranked first in Chinese feudal society.It is called "King of Money" among the people.When he was young, he killed his cousin Jiang Geng in a fight and fled to Chongqing, Sichuan, where he co-founded the "Tian Shunxiang" firm with a merchant from Yunnan in Chongqing to trade between Sichuan and Yunnan.Later, he and Xi Maozhi jointly established the "Tongqingfeng" firm in Kunming.After several years of operation, he became a wealthy businessman in central Yunnan.The British "Times" once counted the richest people in the world over the past century, and Wang Chi ranked fourth.Moreover, he is the only Chinese on the list.

Wang Chi is an upright person, and he is a rare person who takes few concubines. He Yuzhu admires such a person, but he did not elaborate on how much money Wang Chi has!
But He Yuzhu forgot one thing. Wang Chi was a murderer, and now he has become a wealthy man. How can his cousin's family be willing to let it go? !

At that time, his cousin's family took a group of people to Yunnan to find Wang Chi.

In addition, Emperor Guangxu also read the inventory and felt that Wang Chi was a talent and planned to use it for himself!
That's right, to him, talent is the most important thing, but money is not very important to him!

Of course, for another Empress Dowager Cixi, money is the most important thing, and Cixi is thoughtful, and has already guessed that Wang Chi's cousin's family will be unfavorable to Wang Chi, and has already sent her cronies to Yunnan with Yizhi.

Wang Chi is not a fool if he can become the king of money. Knowing that this matter is exposed, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and if he does not respond well, he will be crushed to pieces.

But if you deal with it well, you will definitely go a step further!
Wang Chi calculated that his cousin's family would rush over, and even sent someone to meet his cousin's family on his own initiative!
Such an attitude made the cousin's family suspicious. Speaking of which, they didn't come here to make Wang Chi pay for his life, but to ask for money!

Wang Chi's attitude now gave them hope.

So they came back with the visitor and saw Wang Chi, but they opened their mouths, and Wang Chi couldn't agree for the time being.

The main reason is that even if Wang Chi gave the money, but after the cousin's family spent all the money, they still came back to ask for the money!If this matter cannot be resolved, he will not give money!
One refused to give, the other insisted, and they were in a stalemate for a while!

At this time, Emperor Guangxu sent someone to invite Wang Chi to become an official in the court, and Wang Chi was very moved.

But what surprised him was that the Empress Dowager Cixi also sent someone to bring Yizhi, and took the initiative to settle the matter of the cousin's family asking for money.

The eunuch with Yizhi said it well, the queen mother is rich in the world, has everything, and doesn't ask for anything in return, but you, Wang Chi, must know gratitude in your heart!

Wang Chi understands that on the surface he doesn't want money, but secretly he still wants money!And it's not 01:30!
And I'm afraid there is another deep meaning, that is how to stand in line between Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi! ?

Wang Chi was very distressed. After thinking about it, he still declined Guangxu's invitation to become an official. Instead, he actively cooperated with the anti-law affairs, and contributed money and strength!

As for Cixi, they gave 300 million silver bills directly, and also gave the eunuch 1 taels of silver bills!

The eunuch was very happy and hinted that Wang Chi would be enough to exchange the silver note for 200 million!

Wang Chi was very obedient, so he exchanged a 200 million silver note and gave the eunuch another 1 taels of silver note!

The eunuch laughed happily, thinking that Wang Chi is really a very good person!After going back, I will definitely help him say a few good words in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi!

In fact, the eunuch did say a lot of good things for Wang Chi after returning home, mainly because the money he gave just exceeded the bottom line of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy!

I remembered Wang Chi from now on, and because of Cixi's help, Wang Chi was awarded the title of Poinsettia Merchant several years earlier...
