"I, I said, I am Zhou Shuliang, the third generation of the second room of the Zhou family, he is the fifth room Zhou Shuchen, the one who escaped is Zhou Yue, the elder of the outer gate, and Zhou Chong of the Guanghan Palace is our second uncle, and he invited us to come......"

"He told us to infiltrate the Bibo Villa, dig up the warm spring aura, and collapse the pavilions and pavilions at will, if someone dies in the Bibo Villa, their family will be angry with you. ”

The guests of Bibo Villa are all wealthy families, princes and ministers, and relatives of the emperor, if someone has an accident at Bibo Villa, you can imagine how much anger Gongsun Qian needs to bear.

When Gongsun Qian heard this, her apricot eyebrows stood up, and she was furious. These people are so vicious, and they still want to dissolve their hatred.

Since the hatred is irreconcilable, the only way to fight back is to find a way to fight back, Gongsun Qian was born as a general, and he is not a muddy temper.

"Xuan'er. Gongsun Qian calmed down, pondered for a moment, and said: "Against the enemy of the family, don't use those unpopular means." Although the superficial humiliation can make the other party extremely embarrassed and make one's heart happy, in fact, everything is just a superficial damage and has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as the Zhou family kills them, they will completely get rid of the crime, and they will also have the reputation of killing their relatives in righteousness, they are just poor outcasts. ”

Lei Shaoxuan listened to it, nodded slightly, and dealt with the family by himself, all of which were temporary intentions, and he really lacked strategy.

Zhou Shuliang and Zhou Shuchen listened, and cold sweat trickled.

If Lei Shaoxuan stripped them of their clothes and wrote that the flower thieves would send them back, the Zhou family would have no choice but to remove them. They will always carry the reputation of flower thieves, and they will not tolerate their families and descendants, nor will they be allowed to the world, but they will never be able to justify it.

I couldn't help but be secretly grateful to Gongsun Qian.

"After you go back, go to see Old Man Zhou immediately, and say that my Gongsun Qian needs an explanation. ”

Gongsun Qian looked at the two of them coldly: "First, the Zhou family sniped at my cloth and porcelain business, and I need to compensate for all the losses caused; second, someone from the Zhou family must be responsible for today's incident; third, the Zhou family guarantees that no similar incident will happen again." Give me an answer to these three things within three days. ”

The two thanked each other and left in a hurry.

Looking at his mother's domineering expression, Lei Shaoxuan was slightly surprised.

"Xuan'er, do you think your mother is joking? I endured the previous things again and again, and I was almost cornered, but now I dare to call the Zhou family?"

Lei Shaoxuan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Whether it is a family or a country, its root lies in profit, to be precise, fame and fortune, and in the final analysis, economic interests. ”

Gongsun Qian looked at Lei Shaoxuan and said slowly: "Before, my mother repeatedly gave in, and I almost had no way out, because money was not important to my mother, and you, Xing'er and Tong'er were everything to my mother." Mother is afraid that you will be hurt inexplicably, such as the humiliation of the national eunuch and other things, there will be endless occurrences, after all, the Zhou family is huge and powerful. ”

Gongsun Qian's eyes were full of confidence and said: "Now that you have destroyed the Guanghan Palace and abolished the two monks of the Zhou family, although everything is for them to reap the consequences, but this feud is too deep, there is no way to resolve, there is no way to retreat, there is no need to retreat, you have to fight with them." ”

"What are we going to do?" Speaking of the battle, Lei Shaoxuan became excited.

Gongsun Qian smiled slightly, and said: "You just collected two million taels of silver membership fee, and my mother raised another five million taels of silver, and fought all this money to make the Zhou family lose one or twenty million taels of silver, completely destroying and destroying the Zhou family's economy, and breaking their roots. ”

Lei Shaoxuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "Mother, are you sure you're not talking in a dream?"

Gongsun Qian said angrily: "You know how to fight and kill, even if you kill half of the Zhou family, what can you do? The Zhou family is rich and powerful, and can invite countless people, can you kill it?"

"The main economy of the Zhou family has two major parts, one is the monopoly of cloth business, and the other is one of the three major suppliers of military uniforms and weapons. Now that it is the end of the year, Zhou Jiagang signed a contract with the Ministry of War for the production of military uniforms and weapons next year. ”

Gongsun Qian looked at her son and said with a slight smile: "The iron used in casting weapons is mainly supplied by the three families who have been operating iron mines for generations, and I want to monopolize all the pig iron raw materials produced by the three iron mines next year, what do you guess will happen?"

Lei Shaoxuan was surprised: "Mother, I guess it is impossible for the three families to agree to you, after all, the Zhou family is an old customer." ”

Gongsun Qian glanced at her son: "A large iron mine has been discovered in Pingzhou, and through the Queen Mother, I have already bought the mining rights." Although not a single pound of iron was mined, and the iron was mined for at least three years, I took the contract and randomly found one of the three iron mines, and told him that if I underwrote all his pig iron, the price of iron would rise by one percent, and if I didn't agree, I would give the contract to the other two, and guess what would happen?"

Lei Shaoxuan's face changed slightly. In order to prevent the two iron mines from becoming bigger, any iron mine can only agree to Gongsun Qian's request, so that the monopoly of pig iron is almost a certainty, and it does not cost a penny, Gongsun Qian underwrites, and the price is not up to him?

Weapons are national strategic materials, and their production must not be delayed, but Gongsun Qian only needs to supply pig iron to the other two weapons manufacturers at normal prices, and does not supply pig iron to the Zhou family or double the price, and the Zhou family will be completely removed from the weapons industry.

The other two weapons manufacturers wished that Gongsun Qian would do this, squeeze out the Zhou family, and expand their own production share.

Not daring to delay the production of weapons, the Zhou family could only grit their teeth and buy pig iron at double the price, suffering heavy losses.

"It's the same with monopolizing the supply of cloth. Gongsun Qian said.

"Mother wants to monopolize the cloth business?" Lei Shaoxuan said in surprise: "The cloth is woven by countless weavers in Jiangdong, and then purchased by countless people, and concentrated in the Zhou family, how to monopolize it?"

"It is unrealistic to monopolize the purchase of cloth, after all, the Zhou family has a large number of shops and personnel to buy cloth, and it is easy for them to detect. Gongsun Qian said.

Gongsun Qian's tone changed and said, "I will directly buy cotton silk." It turned out that the raw materials of cotton silk were purchased by tens of millions of weavers and weaved by themselves. Because the purchasing staff is scattered and the price is low, I can hoard more than half of the cotton and silk raw materials in Jiangdong if I take out one or two million taels of silver and smash it, and no one pays attention to it. ”

Looking at her son's surprised look, Gongsun Qian said triumphantly: "At that time, all the weavers who buy raw materials from me, the cloth produced must be sold to me, and the price of the cloth will be determined by me, in order not to affect the people's livelihood, I will only increase the price of the Zhou family's purchase......"

Hearing this, Lei Shaoxuan suddenly felt that his methods, compared with his mother's strategy, were as childish and ridiculous as a child playing with toys.

Destroying the Guanghan Palace, abolishing the monks, and making a move really makes people feel extremely happy and enthusiastic, but for the Zhou family, it is just a matter of money;

Seeing that Lei Shaoxuan was a little frustrated, Gongsun Qian smiled slightly: "Mother told you this, in fact, there is another meaning: you were born in the death row camp and the forward camp, and you are used to solving problems with a knife, which is effective with a knife, refreshing and direct, this is a habit, and you can't change it for a while; ”

"Mother, I know. Lei Shaoxuan nodded.

The next day, Mr. Zhou unexpectedly came to visit.

The ruddy complexion and seemingly kind old man Zhou does not look like the head of a big family, but more like a respected private school gentleman.

Old Man Zhou arched his hand and said: "Madam, in order to vent his personal anger, the bad disciples privately sniped at Madame's cloth business, and used methods such as hiring beggars to make trouble to deal with Bibo Villa, and even used monks to deal with mortals, which is a big taboo. ”

Old Man Zhou said with emotion: "Madame sent me a message, and she also gave the Zhou family a chance to make amends, and I am very grateful." ”

Gongsun Qian and Lei Shaoxuan glanced at each other, and Old Man Zhou's posture was very low, which surprised the two.

"These things have passed, I don't know what happened to Old Man Zhou?" Gongsun Qian said lightly.

"All the disciples of the Zhou family involved in this matter have been expelled from Xijing, and Zhou Chong has been demoted to the branch of the Zhou family in Jiangdong and will never be allowed to return to Xijing. ”

Old Man Zhou looked at Gongsun Qian, sighed and said, "In order to make up for the loss of Mrs., the Zhou family is willing to transfer the Guanghan Palace to Mrs. at a price of 600,000 taels of silver, as long as Mrs. returns the 600,000 silver paid by Zhou Chong as a transfer fee, and no longer mentions the so-called supreme membership." ”

As he spoke, Old Man Zhou put the title deed of Guanghan Palace on the table.

When Lei Shaoxuan heard this, his heart was cold, the helmsman of the family was really not simple.

The location of Guanghan Palace is excellent, 600,000 taels of silver are transferred, and the price is extremely low.

Guanghan Palace has become a burden for the reputation of the Zhou family.

The shame of the Guanghan Palace, which was once destroyed by a group of beggars, will never be erased, will anyone dare to come? The last time the beggars made trouble, countless people made a fool of themselves.

In the past, hiring beggars to make trouble was a taboo in the family, and everyone did this, so they were not afraid that people would use the same means to deal with you? Isn't it a big mess in the world?

Losing the Guanghan Palace, the shame and reputation will just become a joke and slowly forgotten, and if it is transferred to others, no matter who takes over, it will be considered that the Zhou family is weak and unable to fight and is forced to transfer.

The best way to get rid of the burden is to give it to Lei Shaoxuan, so it seems that the Guanghan Palace has changed hands, it is just a simple failure in competition, losing to the opponent, and looking for an opportunity to get it back in the future, shame turns into glory.

In addition, Lei Shaoxuan also has a so-called deposit for the purchase of supreme members in his hand, everyone knows that this money will definitely not come back to the Zhou family, and he also has a reputation of buying members with 1.2 million taels of silver, and Lei Shaoxuan can come to the door at any time in the name of collecting the final payment.

Let Guanghan Palace give Lei Shaoxuan, get rid of the burden, get back 600,000 taels of silver, and lose the reputation of the wronged leader. It seems that Gongsun Qian took advantage of it, but in fact, the Zhou family's means of breaking his wrist are extremely clever.

Gongsun Qian couldn't refuse, because Old Man Zhou came to the door in person, with a low posture of apologizing and retreating, and the refusal seemed very unreasonable.

Sure enough, it's cunning. Lei Shaoxuan finally saw the real family's methods, and Zhou Chong was not only naïve but also stupid compared to him.

"What's so embarrassing about this? Xuan'er has just returned from the Northwest Frontier Army, he is young and ignorant, and he still looks at the old man Zhou Haihan when he is offended. Gongsun Qian said with a smile.

As long as there is no violence and subterfuge, and competition is carried out with pure intrigue, Gongsun Qian is not afraid of anyone.

If there is competition, there will be benefits, and if you accept the Guanghan Palace, it will be considered as a competitive income, and as for the next battle, you will fight all the way.
