Chapter 2O9 New Business Rises
The Jiang family's grain hoarding this time was also silent, if it weren't for the Jiang family's long-term attention, Xiao Chusu had already ordered people to stare at the Jiang family, and he really didn't notice the Jiang family's grain hoarding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Food is the foundation of people's livelihood, and the Jiang family suddenly spent a large amount of silver taels to hoard grain and grass, which always made Xiao Chu feel afraid of something to hide. If a person hoards something, it will be useful to that person, and grain and grass are the root of benefiting the people and the country. Therefore, while wondering why the Jiang family bought grain and grass on a large scale, Xiao Chusu also ordered the account office to spend a lot of silver, and silently bought grain and grass with the Jiang family.
This matter was ordered, and the three shopkeepers and the account office were doing it for Xiao Chusuo, and now it has been more than half a month.
On this day, I was in the study to review the accounts that had not been available to look at the audits recently, and because of Chu Heng's incident, he drank heavily and got cold, so he asked his maid to order Xiao Chusu, who was to be raised on the couch. Fortunately, he got a sentence from Dr. Zhu, "The body is in order", and Xiao Chu was stunned and refused to continue to stay in the boudoir to rest quietly.
No, Dr. Zhu's diagnosis had just fallen a moment ago, and the eldest lady of the Xiao family refused to continue lying on the soft couch without saying anything.
Sick all day long and falling on the soft collapse, don't say that people like the eldest lady can't stand it, it's the place where the bamboo is, and I'm afraid it's also depressed after a long time. Now that people are safe, and the affairs of the Xiao family are waiting for the eldest lady to make an idea, so the eldest lady just saw it and hurriedly came to the study, and Xiang Zhu, who was a maid, couldn't say anything more.
instructed the dining room to boil some stomach-nourishing medicinal food, and Xiang Zhu brought it to Xiao Chuxuan in the study.
Entering the study, I saw the eldest lady sitting at the desk and twisting her eyebrows to review the accounts in her hand, so she slowed down her pace and stepped forward softly, and when the person walked to the edge of the desk and put the medicinal food in her hand on the table, Xiang Zhu said softly: "Miss, this is the medicinal food boiled in the dining room, the eldest lady should stop and drink some first." ”
It's hard to see the body, and proper rest is a must.
Xiang Zhu's whispering also entered Xiao Chushu's ears, and he immediately put down the account in his hand, and put the account on the desk, Xiao Chusu took the bowl and spoon handed over by Xiang Zhu. Scooped up the dissipated soup, the spoon was stretched to his lips, and he was about to put it in his mouth, but who knew what he remembered at this moment.
Because of the things that flashed in his heart, Xiao Chusu paused the food and medicine in the mouth, put down the bowl and spoon and looked at Xiang Zhu, Xiao Chu asked: "Xiang Zhu, what I told you to let the three shopkeepers do, how did the three shopkeepers do?" ”
"The eldest lady personally ordered it, and the three shopkeepers were self-conscious, and this matter of raising food was also carried out secretly, but it was just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that this Jiang family always makes people feel a little strange."
When it comes to hoarding grain, he thinks of the Jiang family who are also hoarding grain, and because of this, Xiang Zhu has a fixed look.
Jiang family, now Xiao Chusu cares most about the Jiang family, so after hearing Xiang Zhu's words, Xiao Chusu asked.
"What's going on in the Jiang family is amazing."
"That's what it is." Zhengse responded, Xiang Zhu said: "I only knew that the Jiang family was privately hoarding grain and grass, but I never thought that the Jiang family would hoard grain and grass like this. ”
"Do you know how much you've stocked up now?"
"It's not clear, but the three treasurers have inquired about twenty granaries, and all of them are not in Kyoto."
"Twenty granaries, none of them in Kyoto." After hearing these two things, Xiao Chu's tone changed significantly, and the police who were mentioned in an instant nodded when he saw this Zhudun and said.
"Exactly, none of the grain and grass purchased by the Jiang family are hoarded in Kyoto, and they are all built and hoarded in the towns around Kyoto. Eldest Miss, the Jiang family has stored and purchased grain and grass so extensively, but none of the purchased grain and grass have been stored under their own noses, and they are all hidden outside. Miss, which one did you say the Jiang family sang this time? How did Xiang Zhu feel that the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was a hidden ghost in the Jiang family's grain storage? ”
Even Xiang Zhu felt that the Jiang family was hoarding grain and grass this time, and it was a bit weird to hoard, not to mention Xiao Chushu. Immediately, his face was already dark, and he couldn't see half of the look on his face, so he condensed his eyes like that, and Xiao Chuxuan said after a while.
"When the Jiang family acts, there must be hidden ghosts, but what I care about is not why the Jiang family hoards these grains and grasses around Kyoto."
"What does the eldest lady care about?"
"It's the Jiang family, where did they get so much silver."
The Xiao family has cleared 20 granaries, but what about the Xiao family? Who knows how many places there are still hidden in the Jiang family's warehouse grain. This granary is not something that can be set up by a person who is looking for it, but the Jiang family has built and bought so much rice and grain in such a short period of time, how can it not make people wonder where this huge amount of silver taels came from.
I kept thinking about my doubts in my heart, and Xiao Chu muttered: "This granary is an ordinary two thousand tons of grain and grass, and two thousand tons of grain and grass are worth four thousand taels, to say the least. The Jiang family is so urgent, the seller has a profit, and the silver needed for this grain and grass has also been raised, so the granary of the Jiang family is probably more than four thousand taels. One grain and grass, even if it is worth more than 4,000 taels to die, not to mention that there are 20 granaries in the Jiang family that we know at the moment, and I am afraid that it is 900,000 to 100,000 yuan to come and go, how can this Jiang family raise so much money and silver in one go? ”
frowned, because of the doubts in his heart, even the tone of his voice was slowly suppressed, and he whispered softly, Xiao Chu continued to say.
"Although the Jiang family is also rich in Kyoto, it is not as good as the family background, and it is a difficult thing to extract 100,000 taels of silver in one go in a short time, not to mention the wages and manpower and material resources. In the past two or three years, the Jiang family has also taken a share of the pie in terms of food because of our family, which is not as good as in the past, but this time it can still withdraw more than 100,000 yuan in one go, which is really fascinating. ”
The Jiang family gave the Xiao family two big gifts one after another, and Xiao Chu kept these two big gifts in mind. As the so-called gifts are still exchanged, people have already given gifts, how not to prepare a thank you back. Therefore, although Xiao Chusu is not as skinless as the Jiang family, and secretly acts evil, but the robbery on the surface is already ten times stretched.
When it comes to food in Kyoto, the Jiang family is indeed the best, and the customers and reputation accumulated over the years make the Jiang family stand out in this industry. But even if it is a Kyoto food tyrant, this rich party is the master, and the lord of these rich families has always been extremely interested in novelties.
Something new.
For Xiao Chusu, the last thing she lacks is new things.
How to study interesting things that the people of your family have never seen, and how to whet the appetite of these rich people, for Xiao Chusu, these are all the techniques she is used to. Therefore, the century-old foundation of the Jiang family, as the days go by, the Xiao family has already swallowed half of the country.
For a large family, the amount of silver spent on ordinary life is not a small amount, especially when the family business is so large, and the amount of silver is even more.
The income has been swallowed up, but the silver taels spent have not shrunk, where did the Jiang family move 100,000 taels of white snow silver in one go?
In this way, the more people think about it, the more they feel that something is wrong, it is the place where Xiangzhu hears the words of the eldest lady, and he also frowns, and said softly: "In this way, it really makes people have to pay attention." Where did the Jiang family come from? And why did they raise so much money to buy grain and grass? For example, today in Pingtai, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and there are no disasters in the sky, so it is too strange to collect a lot of rice and grain. ”
The Jiang family's trip, if it is in the eyes of ordinary people, I am afraid that it is only an internal matter of the Jiang family, and it will not hinder others. can be left in the eyes of those who have a heart, but they only feel that this trip has no reason suddenly, which makes people very suspicious.
I was really suspicious in my heart, but I couldn't guess why the Jiang family acted so suddenly, so Xiao Chusu could only be suspicious and secretly imitate. The head of the Jiang family is not a fool without brains, and he must have his own intentions for such a thoughtless thing.
The horizontal vertical rice grain thing is also a long-term investment of Poly, and it is the possibility of no loss in the end, so Xiao Chuxuan also spent a large amount of money and silver, imitating the rootless trip of the Jiang family, and collected a large amount of money and rice.
Xiao Chusu handed over this matter directly to the third shopkeeper, because Xiao Chusu had informed him in advance, it was best if no one knew about it. Therefore, the three shopkeepers were also thinking about it, and the three shopkeepers were acting, Xiao Chu was relieved, so he asked a few words and stopped talking.
The matter of grain and rice is also settled, and since it has been handed over to the three shopkeepers, Xiao Chushu will not bother too much thought. The Jiang family's collection of rice and grain was also temporarily stopped here, and after receiving the conversation and not talking anymore, Xiao Chusu took a sip of the already semi-cold soup with a porcelain spoon, and when the soup was slightly warmed in his mouth and then swallowed it, Xiao Chusu raised his head and asked.
"By the way, Xiangzhu, the third shopkeeper came to me before, and I remember that I seemed to have mentioned the recent raid on a new businessman in Kyoto. Have you heard of this new businessman, do you know what kind of person it is? ”
Kyoto is a good place to get rich and fat, so there are often businessmen who set their minds on the fertile land of Kyoto. In Kyoto, there is no shortage of businessmen, but although Kyoto is full of money, not everyone can take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Xiao Chusu had often heard that a businessman suddenly appeared in Kyoto, and it was said that his skills and mind were first-class. Because most of the thoughts at that time were on worshipping the ancestors, and after returning to the Jiang family's design, he was busy with the misunderstanding between the cloth workshop and the three squares, so this new businessman Xiao Chuxuan did not pay much attention.
It was originally a new businessman who gradually faded away, who had a few days ago because of business matters, and she inadvertently mentioned this person in the third shopkeeper, and the words were also praised by many parties. The third shopkeeper is a capable one, and he can be so admired, and he is also a master with real skills.
It's just that Xiao Chusu was talking to him about rice and grain at that time, so he didn't inquire in detail, but now he suddenly remembered it. The more I thought about it, the more curious I was about this person, and I immediately inquired, and I heard that Xiang Zhu had heard of this person.
Although Xiang Zhu is the personal maid of the eldest lady, she also knows the things that the Xiao family knows inside and out. Therefore, Xiao Chu was stunned by this, and Xiang Zhu immediately calmed down, thought carefully about what the eldest lady asked, and then spoke.
"The eldest lady is asking about Zhao Gongzi, who has been widely rumored in Kyoto recently?"
"Zhao Gongzi?"
"It's the new merchant in Kyoto that the eldest lady just mentioned."
"Oh!" As soon as Xiang Zhu's words of explanation fell, Xiao Chuxuan nodded in response, bowed his head lightly, and then said: "Zhao Gongzi, since he is a son, he is not very old. It is quite widely spread, and it seems that the admiration for this person in the words of the three shopkeepers is not unreasonable. It's been so popular in Kyoto that I don't think I'm paying enough attention to what is going on in Kyoto. ”
After a pause, Xiao Chuxuan asked: "Then this Zhao Gongzi, which side is doing to make a living?" ”
"This business, if you want to say it, it's a bit messy."
"Messy?"
"Exactly." Nodding, Xiang Zhu said: "There is a specialization in this art industry, and the matter of reading is still the same, let alone a businessman." The eldest lady once said that if you want to be a business bully, you can't think of yourself as a bully, and you must drill into what you specialize in, after all, one person has limited energy, if you want to be a bully in all walks of life, without the support of enough money and silver, you will inevitably lose everything in the end, and there is nothing to do, but this Zhao Gongzi ......"
At this point, he couldn't help but lock his eyebrows anymore, and Xiang Zhu continued: "But the style of this Zhao Gongzi is contrary to the common words of the eldest lady, and the business of this business is completely unfocused, but everything is involved, and he has his hands on all sides." In that case, it's like, it's like ......"
"Seems like what?"
"It's like planning to swallow all the livelihoods of all walks of life in Kyoto and monopolize Kyoto's business path."
This is the feeling that Zhao Gongzi gave Xiangzhu, since Zhao Gongzi lived in Kyoto, almost every line of the shop that was opened in a row was involved, and he had a monopoly on the business of Kyoto. If it is the livelihood of the Li family or the livelihood of the Wang family, it is the livelihood of the Jiang and Xiao families, and Zhao Gongzi, who entered Beijing, has all touched it.
A person's energy is limited, and similarly, a person's financial resources are also limited. Even Xiao Chuxuan didn't dare to open such a big stomach and swallow everything in Kyoto. But this Zhao Gongzi did it, not only that, but every line of business was done in a good way, and it had the intention of swallowing shares.
If a person suddenly kills out with a single line, it is not impossible to replace the former as the leader. However, if a person wants to annex the four families in Kyoto at the same time, even if they are only annexed one after another, it is absolutely impossible.
But now this Zhao Gongzi has shown a bit of this trend, especially in the past three months, he has put his business on the right track step by step, and has made drastic moves to grab business.
With such great ability, so many uses of one heart, Zhao Gongzi alone has no such ability and ambition. Even if he is really beyond ordinary people, he can really take one step at a time, but he can support so many industries at the same time, how can ordinary people spend so much money and silver on hand?
The Jiang family has now raised a large amount of silver in a short period of time, and has collected so much rice and grain in a row, which has made Xiao Chusu smell a trace of indescribable suspicion. Now Zhao Gongzi, who is quite widely known in Kyoto, actually took advantage of the previous foundation to break into a world in Kyoto with three months of hard work.
It made Xiao Chusu smell a little unspeakable uneasiness from this suspicion.
The world has changed repeatedly, but in how it has changed, there must always be an inquiry progressively, but in Kyoto now, this change is really sudden, so sudden that people always feel that something is wrong.
This dark horse suddenly killed on the Kyoto trade road made Xiao Chu have to hang on to the tip of his heart. Immediately, people have locked their thoughts, and Xiao Chusu, after thinking, instructed Xiang Zhu to explore the root system of this Zhao Gongzi.
