Chapter 828 Yuyan buys a house!

The Wang family had been gossiping about Jiang Yuyan because she supported the Fengwu Army and took the initiative to turn Yuchuntang in her home into a public-private partnership.
Later, because of the scandal between Jiang Yuyan and Ye Mingsheng, some false news that was fabricated out of nothing became rampant. The Wang family became even more dissatisfied with Jiang Yuyan and even wanted to kick her out of the house. After Jiang Yuyan realized this, she used the power of the Fengwu Army to teach them a lesson.

From then on, no one in the Wang family dared to question Jiang Yuyan in person, but the various accusations against Jiang Yuyan in secret never stopped. However, the situation improved after Jiang Yuyan earned a lot of money for the Wang family through the connections she had accumulated by running the bank. The Wang family also restrained themselves for the sake of money.

After the situation within the family was stabilized, Jiang Yuyan, a woman who saw that the banknote business was so profitable, was no longer satisfied with Rishengchang being confined to a small corner of Hebei and Henan. She wanted to expand the business territory of Rishengchang and open branches in other provinces.

Jiang Yuyan has already thought of the expansion target, which is Qi and Lu, which are adjacent to Hebei and Henan!

When it came to relaxing controls on private banknote exchanges, Ye Mingsheng first approved two names, one for the Yun family in Liaoyang and the other for the Liu family in Youyan. The Wang family represented by Jiang Yuyan was later approved by Ye Mingsheng as an additional name.

Therefore, although Jiang Yuyan really wanted to lead the Wang family into the markets of Liaoyang and Youyan, because of the existence of the Yun family and the Liu family, Jiang Yuyan still felt that she should not act too hastily. The Wang family still has a shallow foundation in the Fengwu Army, while these two families have deep roots in the Fengwu Army, and they have big bosses backing them. If they expand blindly and provoke them, things are likely to backfire...
Apart from Liaoyang and Youyan, the only provinces controlled by the Fengwu Army were Qilu, Anqing, Jinzhong and Kangyin. Considering that Anqing, Jinzhong and Kangyin were all located on the front line, although the Fengwu Army maintained the strategic initiative, the situation was still unstable.

However, what the bank pursues is stability and predictability, so Jiang Yuyan still thinks that she should be conservative, so she gave up opening Yuchuntang Bank in Anqing, Kangyin, Jinzhong and other places. After much thought, Jiang Yuyan finally set her sights on Qilu!
Although the people of Qi and Lu had been in a state of exploitation for decades, with poverty and weakness making it difficult for them to even get food and not much spare money, after the Fengwu Army came to power, a series of reform measures taken by the Fengwu Army restored some vitality to the people, and some people became rich first. A good mass base was very beneficial for the opening of the Piaohao.

In addition, because Hebei, Henan, Qi and Lu are adjacent to each other, the Wang family’s Yuchuntang Company originally had some jade business in Qi and Lu, and they had accumulated some personal connections over the years, which could be used to help open the Rishengchang Bank without having to start all over again...

The most important point is that Jiang Yuyan learned through some channels that the current Qilu Governor Sun Jing'an was also very interested in the neighboring Ji and Yu provinces, after seeing that they had greatly promoted agricultural development and infrastructure construction by absorbing private savings. He wanted to open the same bank in Qilu.

However, because the power was in the hands of Ye Mingsheng, Sun Jing'an could only think about it but dared not overstep the line. After understanding Sun Jing'an's thoughts, Jiang Yuyan became more determined to open the Rishengchang Bank in Hebei and Henan. She also met with Sun Jing'an and communicated her ideas with the governor.

Sun Jing'an welcomed Jiang Yuyan's idea of ​​opening a branch of the bank in Qilu, and said that if Rishengchang Bank could open a branch in Qilu, he, as the governor of Qilu, would be willing to give some preferential policies and provide as much help as possible.

After getting Sun Jing'an's reply, Jiang Yuyan was also very excited. However, Sun Jing'an quickly pointed out a very critical issue, that is, if the idea of ​​opening Rishengchang Bank in Qilu is to be implemented, there is still a very critical issue that must be resolved!
At the beginning, Ye Mingsheng only approved Wang’s Rishengchang Bank to open banks in Hebei and Henan to absorb private savings. Now that Rishengchang Bank wants to open business in Qi and Lu, it needs to reapply to Ye Mingsheng and obtain Ye Mingsheng’s approval, otherwise all this will be out of the question...
Jiang Yuyan also agreed with the problem pointed out by Sun Jingan. She immediately expressed her desire to write a letter to Ye Mingsheng together with Sun Jingan to report the matter.

Although the outside world has always said that this widow was Ye Mingsheng's mistress, the reason why the Wang family got the special quota approved by Ye Mingsheng was because she, this slut, climbed into Ye Mingsheng's bed!
But Jiang Yuyan herself knew very well that there was nothing wrong between her and Ye Mingsheng. She just reported to Ye Mingsheng alone. Ye Mingsheng was only polite to her and did not do anything beyond the limit.

Although she understood this, seeing the rumors spreading everywhere, Jiang Yuyan began to doubt whether Ye Mingsheng was really interested in her.

Although at the beginning, because of her royal blood, Jiang Yuyan was very disgusted with Ye Mingsheng, who always claimed to be a prince who wanted to clear the emperor's court but was actually ambitious and wanted to usurp the throne. She even felt that if Ye Mingsheng used force on her, it would be like being bitten by a dog.

However, as she came into contact with Ye Mingsheng and felt his great talent and ambition, her impression of him changed. However, under the influence of those rumors, she became somewhat worried.

On the one hand, she wondered if something should really happen between her and Ye Mingsheng, on the other hand, she even began to feel a little disappointed that Ye Mingsheng had not done anything for her, and she even began to doubt her own charm·························
And because no matter how she explained, others did not believe that there was nothing innocent between her and Ye Mingsheng, and these Fengwu Army officials were very respectful to her, the rumored mistress of the Marshal, and automatically provided some convenience for Yuchuntang's business.

Therefore, Jiang Yuyan has always firmly stated on the surface that she has nothing to do with Ye Mingsheng, but in private she has also been vague about the matter, not giving any further explanation and allowing others to make assumptions.

Although she and Ye Mingsheng seemed very close to outsiders, Jiang Yuyan had no idea whether Ye Mingsheng would approve the opening of a branch of Yuchuntang Bank in Qilu, so she wanted to ask the governor Sun Jingan to write a letter to Ye Mingsheng together. She felt that doing so would increase the possibility of approval.

However, what Jiang Yuyan did not expect was that Sun Jing'an politely declined her proposal. Although Sun Jing'an wanted to benefit the people of Qi and Lu and make their lives better, all this had to be based on not affecting his personal interests!
Before he joined the Fengwu Army, when Sun Jing'an was the prefect of Licheng, although he did a lot of good things for the people, he was not clean and had been involved in corruption and bribery. Although Ye Mingsheng pitied his talent and made him the governor of Hebei and Henan...
However, feeling the anti-corruption efforts of the Fengwu Army, Sun Jing'an was still frightened, fearing that Ye Mingsheng would come after him one day. For this reason, he was very considerate and reluctantly donated the proceeds from his years of corruption and bribery to the Fengwu Army as military expenses.

In addition to these, his grandson Jing'an also pays great attention to the distance between himself and his subordinates and merchants, and does not want to be gossiped about.

Jiang Yuyan was already at the center of public attention because of the rumors about her and Ye Mingsheng. If he wrote a petition with her, people would definitely suspect that there was a transfer of interests involved. So for the sake of avoiding suspicion, Sun Jingan rejected Jiang Yuyan's proposal.

After being rejected by Sun Jing'an, Jiang Yuyan still couldn't let go of the idea of ​​opening a branch in Qilu, so she decided to go to Yijing in person to see if she could meet Ye Mingsheng again and report to Ye Mingsheng again.

Thinking that the future development of the Wang family's business would be inseparable from the policy support of the Fengwu Army, and that she might have to come to Yujing frequently in the future, Jiang Yuyan also had the idea of ​​buying a house. Although staying in a hotel is good, it is not as comfortable as living in one's own home.

In addition, Jiang Yuyan also has the idea of ​​investing. She vaguely feels that under Ye Mingsheng's governance, the prosperous times may really return. By then, as the ruling center of Fengwu Army, the housing prices in Yijing will surely rise. So she might as well buy one now... After looking carefully in Yijing for more than a month, Jiang Yuyan finally fell in love with this house with two entrances and exits, and bargained with the owner for a long time. Finally, they agreed on a price of fifteen hundred taels of silver. Now she has paid the silver to the other party and got the deed of the house. Now all that's left is to go to the government to go through some procedures and pay some taxes.

Just as Jiang Yuyan was happily admiring the house that she had chosen with great difficulty, Wang Quan, her subordinate who was handling the house procedures for Jiang Yuyan, came to Jiang Yuyan with a serious expression.

Looking at Wang Quan's serious face, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but ask:
"What happened?"

Wang Quan nodded and said:
"Madam, there are some problems with the paperwork for the house. The government said our paperwork is incomplete and they will not approve our transaction!"

Jiang Yuyan was a little surprised to hear this. According to regulations, for the sale of such luxury houses, the Fengwu Army would levy a tax of 30% of the transaction price. The transaction price was 1,500 taels of silver, and 30% was 450 taels of silver in tax. This tax was not low. Normally, in order to get this tax, the government would approve your application even if your procedures were not very good.

And if she remembered correctly, both the buyer and the seller had completed all the necessary procedures, there was nothing missing!

Just when Jiang Yuyan wanted to ask what procedures were missing, Wang Quan whispered:

“Madam, we have all the necessary procedures, but the government won’t approve it. At first I thought they wanted to get some benefits, so I gave them thirty taels of silver as tea money, but they didn’t even look at it and just refused to approve it…”

"I suspect they received an order and someone is targeting us on purpose!"

Jinzhong, Lin Mansion

"Come on! Give me a kiss!"

"Master, you are so bad. It's still daytime!"

"Daytime is the best time. Let me taste what kind of rouge you used today!"

In the bedroom, the disheveled Lin Huaiwu was surrounded by beauties and was as happy as a god. After becoming rich with Ye Mingsheng, he also married seven or eight wives and concubines over the years. However, these wives and concubines were all in Yijing and could not quench his thirst. Lin Huaiwu, who was in a high position, naturally could not stand the loneliness, and soon found a few mistresses in Jinzhong again.

Although under Ye Mingsheng's order, Lin Huaiwu would not neglect his military duties because of beauties, but Lin Huaiwu would indulge in the arms of love whenever he had time. Just when Lin Huaiwu and these two little girls were being affectionate and loving, the voice of the guards was heard outside the door.

"Sir, there is a secret letter from Yi Jing!"

Lin Huaiwu was in high spirits, and at this moment, he only wanted to taste the rouge in his mind, and he immediately said impatiently:
"Please keep the letter first. I'll go read it later!"

After Lin Huaiwu finished speaking, the guard outside the door hesitated for a moment, but remembered Lin Huaiwu's instructions and continued:

"Sir, there is a red circle drawn on the envelope..."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Huaiwu, who had already buried his head in the weapon, suddenly froze. The next second he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"You two get out!"

Hearing Lin Huaiwu's order, the two little girls were a little bit unbelievable, and immediately wanted to act coquettishly with Lin Huaiwu, but Lin Huaiwu would not tolerate them. He immediately slapped each of them in the face. After two slaps, the two of them did not hesitate and walked out of the room crying.

After the two left, Lin Huaiwu called the guards in and took the secret letter with a red circle. He did not open the envelope immediately to check the letter inside, but looked at the red circle on the envelope with a complicated expression. He thought he would never see this red circle in his life, but he didn't expect it to come after all!

Lin Huaiwu sighed and prepared himself mentally, opened the envelope and read the contents on the letter. Although he was mentally prepared, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly when he looked at the contents on the letter, and a trace of panic appeared on his face·································
