Chapter 337
Stone was stunned. Zhang Xing said in a low voice: "Last year, there were several rice merchants in the Jianghuai area. One of them has the surname Zhao, I don't know if you haven't heard of it?'
"Surname Zhao?" said after a moment's thought.
Zhang Xing nodded, Zhao Deyi is also a famous rice merchant in the Jianghuai area, because his ancestral home is Yu'an, not far from Quantang Town, so almost everyone knows about his affairs here.
In the thirty-fifth year of Yuanping, Yu'an broke the embankment, Zhao Deyi raised rice and grain to help the villagers, and everyone in Yu'an praised it, calling it: Zhao Dashan people. However, only five or six years later, he was involved in a river corruption case and was imprisoned. The people in the Jianghuai area are most hated by the people who are corrupt and pervert the law on the river. At this moment, Zhao Deyi's reputation roared again, and he fell into the mud from the clouds. If you don't know what happened, everyone hates it.
It is rumored that he was imprisoned for his involvement in river corruption. Actually, no, he just suffered a disaster without reason, and it was the trouble caused by the money and food in his hand. My eldest brother was also afraid, lest his own family would follow his family's footsteps, and he didn't dare to be too eye-catching. In fact, he originally wanted to do a good job in the rice and grain industry, but now he has completely stopped thinking about it. Zhang Xing whispered.
Stone frowned and said, 'Then you dare to touch this?'
Zhang Xing's face showed a mocking smile, and he quickly accepted it, and said, "Do you know who the Zhao family's grain ended up in?"
Shi looked at Zhang Xing in a daze, and exclaimed, "Is it the Shen family?"
Zhang Xing couldn't help but praise in her heart. Shi Shi is really smart, he doesn't know as much as her, and he can guess the head of the Shen family in the northwest at once.
The stone looked at Zhang Xing's face. I knew I had guessed correctly. With a solemn expression, he said, "Apricot." You haven't been to the Northwest, you don't know. The Shen family is afraid that they will be against the sky soon, and they want food. Six or seven years ago, he probably didn't know the meaning of secretly stationing troops in the Shen family's mountains, but now he guessed it. He has been on Qingmeng Mountain for so many years, and he has never heard of anything. Words like rebellion are spoken almost every day.
The Shen family hid their thoughts deeply, and they were stationed on the frontier for decades. Everyone praises them for their loyalty, and few people know their true purpose. In recent years, the people have been struggling to make a living, and the chaos has gradually revealed, and the Shen family has been a little impatient. The strange situation in the northwest war in the middle of last year happened to appear when Shen Qian, the Marquis of Zhongyong, returned to Beijing to report on his work. The fighting eventually subsided, but it also lost a lot of men, strangely. These are either not Shen people, or they are some remnants of weak soldiers. The real main force in the Northwest Army did not waver in the slightest. Therefore, there are many rumors in the army. What collusion, barbarian wolf ambitions, and so on.
Shi was originally wary of the Shen family, connecting everything before and after, what else didn't he understand?
The Shen family is going to turn against the sky!
Shi told Zhang Xing what he had seen and heard in the Northwest Army, and at the end, he said: "I think the Shen family will be at most a year or two, and there will be no doubt about it." ”
Zhang Xing shook his head, "Things won't be so simple, how can there be more than one Shen family in this world who has this thought? Now that the imperial court is not exhausted, if they are from this time on, what is the difference between them and Liu Shenzhou on the other side of the river? The Shen family has been planning for so long, and they won't even be able to survive this little time." ”
Heyuan Liu Shenzhou is also a prince, although he is now standing firm in the river, but eight or nine years have passed, and they are limited to this, and they can't take half a step into the Central Plains. When people in Jianghuai and the Jianghuai area talk about him, they all look contemptuous, and the anti-thief Liu Shenzhou often talks about it. Shen Qian has an excellent reputation, and after planning for so many years, he should not follow Liu Shenzhou's old path. He's going to be against it, but he'll also look for a good opportunity.
Zhang Xing doesn't know much about things in the court, and when it comes to this kind of thing in the countryside, it's mostly rumors and can't be taken seriously. But she guessed that the emperor of the dynasty must be quite old based on her current age name. In the forty-second year of Yuanping, the one on the Jinluan Palace was afraid that he had already entered the year of the sixtieth year. I'm afraid that the Shen family will have to wait for this old and new submission.
When the old and new emperors were presented, it was almost a time of chaos. Even if the Shen family wants to get up, it is not a matter of a year or two, the Great Xia Dynasty has a history of hundreds of years, and even if it is at the end of the road, it is a hundred-legged insect.
But she can't wait until then, become the mud under the iron hooves of the heroes, and let it be trampled. The Shen family forced them to get on the boat, but they didn't really treat them as personal use, but she could pull out the banner of the Shen family and make the rice and grain trade bigger.
Didn't the Shen family ask for food? Then it would be better for one's own people to do it than to keep thinking about robbing others. Now no one in the Jianghuai area dares to make this matter bigger, and she just picked up a bargain.
The Shen family will definitely be happy to see it.
The Shen family's affairs can't be done in a year or two, and if this grain channel is good, they won't let it be cut off easily.
If she pulls this banner well, not only will she be able to stand firm, but she will not be afraid that the Shen family will easily treat them as outcasts.
Zhang Xing told the stone what he thought in his heart. Shi thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we should really pull this banner." As he spoke, he came over with a smile and said, "Xing'er, I'll take you to Qingmeng Mountain in a few days." Since you want to do food, how can you do it if you don't have the capital? Zhang Tianyi, you can just use those things. ”
Zhang Xing was still worried. Shi smiled again and said, "Anyway, now everyone knows that your family is not thin, and the second brother has a ready-made horse to help you." Although Zhang Tianyi's things are eye-catching, if you mix them up little by little and use them slowly, who can think of him?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Xing's idea was good, Wei Minwen was a rice grainmaker, and there were ready-made channels for her to use. And he is worried about Zhang Tianyi, those things can only be seen and thought, but they can't be used. Now, it's about to be used. If someone is suspicious, first, there is the Shen family in front of them, guessing that this contribution comes from the Shen family, they can only stare dryly, and second, there is Wei Minwu's help to cover it, and the support of the Yun family, a southwest businessman, is not unusual. As long as they were careful, who would have thought that Zhang Tianyi's things were in the rice shop in Zhang Xing's hands?
"Aren't I going to Yu County? I'll mention this to the person surnamed Meng and Liu, so that they can have a number in their hearts. Shen Huaijin will definitely be happy to see this happen. Stone smiled again and said, "That's a good idea! This time, we are not afraid of them rubbing us at will. ”
"What if Shen Huaijin asks you for food?" Zhang Xing expressed her worries, "Do you give it or not?"
"Why don't you give it? If he gives money in exchange, you will give it, and if you don't have money, you can just complain. Shi He smiled and said, "Don't worry, this grain is in our hands, and Shen Huaijin will not be so happy to let us take the grain for the Shen family for nothing." The Shen family is not his now, he is stupid, what is his brother, he doesn't know. He is a dick who takes out his own things, what can he get?"
Zhang Xing didn't want to make wedding dresses for others in vain. As soon as the stone said it, she understood. If she has done a good job in the rice and grain trading, the Shen family will definitely come to the door, but Shen Huaijin will not take it out so happily - they have voted for him, and they can be regarded as doing things for him. If Shen Huaijin wanted her food, she had no choice but to comply, but if the Shen family wanted it, Shen Huaijin would ask for money first. Of course, as for more money and less money, it's another matter, but Shen Huaijin will not easily let this grain road be cut off - without money, this business is absolutely difficult to maintain.
Therefore, if you have money, you will give it, and if you don't have money, you will complain.
Zhang Xing and Shi agreed on everything, and the next day Shi went to the town, Zhang Xing got up late, and after eating, he was about to go to Li Dahe's house, and Li You took his daughter Li Jinlian to the door. Zhang Xing hurriedly invited them to sit down, and let Xiao Deyu serve the tea fruit.
Li Youshi saw that Zhang Xing's face was very good, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to come over to see you yesterday, but I didn't come over before the house was cleaned up." "Stone married, and some of the guests were placed in her house.
The Li family is now all cleaned up, and the cover room in the back and the wings on the left and right are also cleaned up. Shi gave the dowry box to Zhang Xing, Sun Baozhu and Xiao Deyu had already opened the door, cleaned up the things according to the list, and locked the door again. The stone thought that the iron-headed pillar was in the way, and drove them all to live in the courtyard of the town.
Zhang Xing smiled and said to Li Youshi: "I haven't Aunt Xie yet, no, I'm about to go to your house to sit." ”
Li Youshi smiled and waved his hand, "What do you say, thank you, do we still need to say this?"
Zhang Xing asked about the situation in Lizhuang Village, and Li Youshi said. Zhang Xing confessed the matter that he had agreed with the stone last night.
Li Youshi said: "The land placed in the stone is all high-quality fields, and the terrain is good, if you want to lease it, more people will take over." Okay, I'll tell your uncle to watch this. ”
Zhang Xing glanced around the room, and said with a smile: "Auntie, we are also tired of you staring at this house." ”
Li Youshi said: "Hey, aren't these Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu both here? Why, do you want to take them away too?"
Zhang Xing shook his head with a smile and said, "Didn't my aunt know that the stone also had a yard in the town? ”
"Don't you live in the town?" asked Li Youshi.
"The town doesn't live either, and the stones will go to Liaoyuan in a few days. I don't have any acquaintances in town, so I don't go to live there. I still have a shop in Jingkou that I want people to watch, and I'm going to go there. It's not far from Yu County, and my eldest brother is the county. The stone is also in favor. ”
Li Youshi cleaned up Zhang Xing's dowry list and knew that she had several dowry shops. After the stone left, Zhang Xing lived in the town as a bride, which was really not good. And this side is the countryside in the end, not as good as the county town, and it has to be thrilling once a year, and it is better to be far away from this place.
"Okay, I'll watch this house for you. Li Youshi took a bite to take it. (To be continued......)
