At night, the night descends on the city of Luoyang, and a bright moon hangs in the sky above the sky, and the moonlight is bright, slanting down, with a little starlight.

Martial law has been imposed in the city, and the streets and alleys are quiet, except for the sound of footsteps.

These are the soldiers and horses of the Jingo official office, which is in charge of the security of the capital, and these soldiers and horses are patrolling the night.

East City, Ping'an Fang.

Jingping Commercial Bank.

This mansion is not big, three in and three out, and it also covers an area of six or seven acres, but in Luoyang, a capital city with every inch of land, it is already expensive to fly, even if Jingping Commercial Bank is rich, it is very distressing to buy such a mansion here.

In the mansion, the lights are shining.

Above the lobby, oil lamps were lit one by one, the clean wooden boards were polished, Mu Jing was wearing socks, walking back and forth, listening to Zhao Ping's careful report on what he had done during this time since he came to Luoyang City.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his back and forth steps sometimes stopped, sometimes fast, and his expression was obviously a little gloomy.

"Uncle, for so many days, you have thrown out almost a thousand gold at the cost, and in the end you are just a small eunuch under Zhao Zhong on contact?"

"Hmm!"

Zhao Ping knelt down and sat down, nodded slightly, and said ashamedly: "A certain incompetent, after coming to Luoyang, he threw out a lot of money, and only then did he get acquainted with one or two eunuchs, but in the capital of Luoyang, the eunuchs smashed more than half, and finally continued to spend money, layer by layer, before I contacted you A small eunuch under Zhao Zhong is purchasing ingredients for Miyagi, I invited him to drink three times and sent thousands of gold cakes, but this person is extremely greedy, I have asked to see Zhao Zhong many times, he has always delayed, and although I have gold cakes in my hand, I don't dare to make a big move, I'm afraid that he will take the benefits, and in the end he won't see the real chapter! ”

"You're a little conservative with your money!"

Mu Jing is afraid of this situation, bribery is also a technology, obviously Zhao Ping's skills are not at home, so he insisted on coming to the capital, this trip is the right one, or wait for Zhao Ping's words, wait for death.

He paced back and forth, his hands crossed, his index finger was spinning, and the thoughts in his mind were also turning: "This little eunuch is still valuable, if he can contact Zhao Zhong in person, it will be fine, but I can't see Zhao Zhong for a long time, lest our plan will fail!" ”

Zhao Zhong is one of the ten permanent servants, the official permanent servants, and the reward is the marquis of the capital, among the ten permanent servants, his influence is second only to Zhang Rang, the head of the ten permanent servants.

When today's son favors the ten permanent servants, there is a reason for the incident, the family gate valve, controlling the government, he can only use the ten permanent servants to take on the notoriety and fight against these family door valves, so although the ten permanent servants are notorious, they must have real skills.

Among the ten permanent servants, the Son of Heaven is the most favored and trusted by the two eunuchs, and it is often said that Zhang Changshou is my father and Zhao Changshou is my mother.

Therefore, the two are the right and left hands of the Son of Heaven in the deep palace.

Zhang Rang is the main outside, and he is the vanguard against some gate lords in the court, Zhao Zhong is the master, there are a lot of feminine methods, and the big and small things in the harem are under his command, and even some information is under his control.

It is rumored that this person is greedy and succeeds to the throne to accumulate wealth, which is a breakthrough.

If you can contact the Son of Heaven directly through him, it will not be in vain for his money.

"But we can't guarantee that these eunuchs will take the money to do things, if they don't do things when they have the money, won't we be a little disrespectful to the golden cake?"

Zhao Ping said worriedly.

This is also the reason why he has never dared to bribe with a large amount.

"Nowadays, money is not important, what matters is time!"

Mu Jing's eyes were firm, and he said: "The first battle of Runan is over, it is estimated that the news has already reached the capital, my father is an ordinary person, how can those family lords let him monopolize the war exploits, if we can't start first, we will give some people to eat and even bones can't be left, you go to contact this little eunuch, I want to see him in person!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Ping nodded and turned to leave.

"Isn't it too rushed?" Jiang Lu, who had been silent, asked.

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Mu Jing smiled bitterly: "Do you say that those people of the Runan Yuan clan will leave the great battle feat of pacifying Runan to my father?" ”

"Definitely not!"

Jiang Lu said: "But the preparations you made before you came, so that they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, he made a fuss about things, even if they have the heart, they have to worry about the impact, Runan Yuan's family, they also want to save face!" ”

"What if they do it?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Lu's pupils changed color slightly: "Will they do something to the lord?" ”

"Won't it?" Mu Jing asked rhetorically.

"When you say that, I think I will!"

Jiang Lu pondered for a while, his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and said: "The identity of the lord who was born in the Yellow Turban will definitely not be able to hide it, the most important thing is that he is at the bottom of Nanyang's position, Nanyang itself is afraid of him, not only will he not help him, but he will also fall into the ground, Zhang Zhi is the person of the general He Jin, the general He Jin was born as a butcher, but he wants to squeeze into the ranks of the family and is at the mercy of the family, he will definitely order Nanyang to play a stab, and then the identity of the lord will become the biggest attack, framing the name of collaborating with the enemy, I'm afraid that it will cause a group to attack it, and then it will only become a rebel again! ”

"So we're going to compete for speed!" Mu Jing squinted, clenched his fists, and said: "Father's war has been won, the next thing is our war, this court is the real game, we can't lose this game!" ”

Although the Han court has been crumbling, it is orthodox in the world after all, and now that the court has not fallen, it has enough right to call on the Quartet, if they are not attached to this thigh, their herdsmen will not be able to find a place to recuperate and hoard strength.

"What if we follow the path of the great general?" Jiang Lu changed his train of thought and asked.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's basically impossible!"

Mu Jing shook his head and asked rhetorically: "My father is a Yellow Turban general, and he can't hide the facts, who hates the Yellow Turban Army in the world?" ”

"Saga Gate Valve!" Jiang Lu said: "In the past, the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, how many families in the world were ruined, and family property was confiscated, if it is said that the people who hate the Yellow Turban Army the most in the world must be the family gate lords, the world's corporal clans, and they will never allow a Yellow Turban general to enter the house, become a general in the court, and command the soldiers and horses in the name of the court!" ”

"He Jin can now be a general and command the world's military power, who is the biggest reliance?"

"Naturally, it's the door valve of the family!"

"So ......"

"So He Jin will never risk offending the family gate to help the lord, this interest relationship has already doomed him to be our enemy!" Jiang Lu followed Mu Jing's words quietly.

"Therefore, I can only follow the path of the Son of Heaven!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "We can't impress the Son of Heaven, we can only continue to be rogues, wandering around with soldiers and horses, living a life where everyone shouts and beats, and we can't stop to recuperate for a quarter of an hour!" ”

"You're right!"

Jiang Lu nodded, then stood up, and said: "It seems that I am too optimistic about many things, we have to make more preparations, in this way, I will first prepare a letter to play, directly to the Son of Heaven, if we can meet the Son of Heaven smoothly, we still have a chance, after all, the situation in the deep palace is not very good today, he needs to rely on the military power outside!" ”

"Hmm!"

Mu Jing responded and said, "I will try my best to find a way to meet Zhao Zhong, whether I can meet the Son of Heaven depends on our luck!" ”

……

It was late at night.

Mu Jing still reviewed some of the documents in the lobby, which were all recorded in bamboo slips, which seemed quite troublesome, and he had to read every word clearly.

These bamboo slips are all records of some court affairs, as well as the recent collection of large and small things about the ten permanent servants, and there are also some things about some influential ministers above the court.

This is all the information that Mu Jing instructed Tan Zong to collect, and it is all some things that are not secret, things that are easy to find out, but there is a lot of information that Mu Jing does not know in these things.

After eating all this, you can have a preliminary understanding of the court of the Han Dynasty, and only then can you know who the enemy you are about to face is.

"Childe, Sun Hao's shopkeeper asks to see you!" Huo Yu walked up and said in a low voice.

"Let him in!"

"No!"

Soon, Sun Hao, the executive shopkeeper of Jingping Commercial Bank, walked in under the leadership of Huo Shao, a personal guard.

"Subordinate Sun Hao, meet the big shopkeeper!"

Sun Hao hadn't seen Mu Jing for a while, but this time goodbye, he keenly felt that Mu Jing had an extra evil aura on his body, and this evil aura made Mu Jing more stable and majestic.

"No need to be polite!" Mu Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have a lot of things to do recently, and I may not be able to take care of the things of the business bank, don't care!" ”

"The big shopkeeper is a person who does big things, I don't want to disturb the big shopkeeper with these little things, but the situation of the firm in Luoyang has not been opened for a long time, I am a little anxious, so I want to ask for instructions!"

Sun Hao is not an ignorant person, these days Jingping Commercial Bank is living in a first-class good hand, and there are tens of thousands of gold in the commercial bank, such a large amount, even if the commercial bank wants to take it out, it is conceivable that they must have important things in Luoyang City here.

But the firm has now reached a bottleneck, and Mu Jing is their founder, and they are also their biggest support, and they are the big shopkeeper of their firm, so they have to report it after all.

"Tell me first, will the loan of 3,000 catties affect the operation of the firm!"

"No, the current financial resources of the firm will not affect the operation of the three thousand catties, if you can, the big shopkeeper can also draw a few thousand gold, our firm can bear it at present, there is no big shopkeeper, there is no our firm, the firm must be the big shopkeeper to rely on!" Sun Hao said very sincerely.

"It seems that I underestimated the current development of the firm, you come and tell me about the specific situation of Wuyin!"

Mu Jing put down the bamboo slip in his hand.

Jingping Commercial Bank was built by him, but in a few months, he was focused on the battlefield, but the matter of Jingping Commercial Bank was a little broken, and he needed to clean it up again.

In the past, Jingping Commercial Bank sold 3,000 gold, which would be affected to some extent, but now Sun Hao has such a big breath, it must be that the commercial bank has become rich and has given him confidence, which makes him a little surprised.

"No!"

Sun Hao began to report: "The Jingping Exchange proposed by the big shopkeeper began to be established in July, less than half a month, has seen the initial effect, not only stabilized the market price of the entire Wuyin, but also expanded the influence of our Jingping Commercial Bank.

In addition, the establishment of the Jingping Exchange has attracted a lot of caravans from the south to the north.

In the past, many merchants did not go to Wuyin, but since the establishment of the Jingping Exchange, many caravans will deliberately pass through Wuyin, because in Wuyin they can sell some items that they need to go further to buy.

In just a few months, Wuyin has become the most popular intersection center in the entire Nanyang Runan land, of course, the war in Runan has also given us a lot of help, after all, the war-torn land, few caravans are willing to pass through, so they are detained, want to trade out their own goods, or get their own goods, can only find another way, at this time only our Jingping Exchange is the most convenient, so it began to start our fame, and now in Jingzhou, a little famous!

Beginning in September, after our shopkeeper discussed, it was decided to expand the influence of Jingping Commercial Bank, we began to establish branches in the surrounding counties, take care of each other, and absorb businessmen from all over the world, but we are not strong enough after all, when Wancheng, was squeezed out by many forces, can only barely gain a foothold, Zhang Heng was also driven back by the gray, in a fit of anger, the direction of development was set in the north, and the strategy of going north to the capital was formed.

At that time, the big shopkeeper happened to come to write a letter and wanted to borrow 3,000 gold, so we took advantage of the trend to go north and wanted to gain a foothold in Luoyang!

But Luoyang here is even more complicated, just find a business cabinet, are richer than us, and in the market, it has been controlled by some secret forces, we want to enter the market, we have to pay a certain fee, so the gains outweigh the losses, and we can't stand on the ...... at all."

He spoke very carefully and told the situation of the trading house one by one.

Mu Jing also listened very carefully, and he was a little surprised.

He thought that it would take at least three or five years for the Jingping Exchange he established to see miraculous results, but he still underestimated Zhang Heng and other businessmen.

Someone once said that if you give him a scaffold, he can pry the earth up, and this is true.

Mu Jing felt that it was possible for him to underestimate the ancients.

Thinking about this thing, there will be endless possibilities when it is opened, Zhang Heng and Sun Hao are all capable people above the business road, and they can burst out the influence of this Jingping Exchange in a short period of time, which is the best representative.

"It's too urgent!"

Mu Jing said: "Sun Hao, don't forget, in today's world, Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are one step behind after all, and have no status, so we have to be steady step by step, your ideas are good, but you are too anxious, what you need is stability!" ”

"What does the big shopkeeper mean?"

"The capital is too involved, the foothold is difficult, the investment is large, the effect is slow, not in line with the strategy of today's commercial banks, I think the direction of the commercial banks should be changed, not to the north, but must be to the south, Jingzhou is the land of fish and rice, Jiangdong is the rich land, Xichuan is the country of abundance, we businessmen care about financial resources, and the wealth must start from these places!"

"Then you have to let go of the capital?" Sun Hao was a little unwilling.

"You can't just let it go!"

Mu Jingdao: "Leave it to me here, invest a little smaller, make a small fuss, always have to gain a foothold, after all, this is the capital of the Han Dynasty, since Jingping Commercial Bank aims at the world's first chaebol, this is a place where you must stand on it!" ”
