Chapter Seventy-Nine: November
Zhao Yu said the right thing, of course, is not a shirk, after all, the Luye Freemasonry he wants to create has only attracted a group of businessmen from Ye County for the time being, and the businessmen in Luyang still don't know it, although there are not many businessmen in Luyang, in terms of number and financial resources, they are far inferior to the businessmen in Ye County, but even so they can't pull down the people in their hometown.
What's more, those merchants and families in Luyang have always had a good relationship with the Luyang townspeople, whether it was the Luyang townspeople who designed to deal with the greedy county commander Kong Jian when they were young, or now the county is pooling money to dig the Jinggong Canal, these businessmen and families in Luyang also have contribution.
In desperation, Zhao Yu could only hurry up and do this before the grandfather came to Luyang.
So the next day, he took the chief steward Cao Ju, Jingnu, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng to the county seat.
As the so-called taking medicine according to the prescription, after arriving in the county seat, Zhao Yu took the lead in meeting the county commander Liu Wei and asked him to come forward to gather the people with heads and faces in the county.
At this time, several work sites in Luyang have been on the right track, as the county commander Liu Wei did not need to run back and forth, personally checked, he returned to the county government to perform his own duties, when he learned that Zhao Yu came to visit alone, Liu Wei was very surprised.
You must know that Zhao Yu has visited him quite a few times, but every time he comes with his father Luyang Xianghou and comes to visit him alone, this is really the first time.
So when he saw Zhao Yu, Liu Wei couldn't help but ask, "The townsman didn't come?" ”
Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this.
In fact, when he came to the county seat this time, he mentioned it to his father Luyang Xianghou yesterday, but Luyang Xianghou is a very proud person, knowing that his son has arranged everything, he naturally will not be cheeky to rob his son of credit, not to mention that he also sees what this son has done recently, and he is also relieved to let Zhao Yu come alone.
He arched his hand towards Liu Wei and said, "I came here today because I want to discuss something with Liu Gong. ”
As he spoke, he told Liu Wei everything about Wancheng Military City and the Luye Freemasonry, only to hear Liu Wei's face show surprise and joy many times.
"The second son is really ......"
Looking at the child in front of him, who was not yet eleven years old, Liu Wei was full of emotion in his heart.
Although Zhao Yu said very politely, saying that he came to discuss with him, in fact, this kid has already opened up the most difficult links, such as negotiating with Wang Shangde, such as winning over the businessmen of Ye County, if the whole thing is ten points, then Zhao Yu has already done eight points.
And what moved Liu Wei the most was that the second son in front of him was willing to dedicate all the 10% of the 10% he got in exchange for his ingenuity to his Luyang County government.
It is not difficult to imagine what a huge fortune it will be, and it is no exaggeration to say that the lords of the Luyang Township Marquis Mansion who 'eat two thousand households' are far less than this percentage.
However, the father and son of the Marquis of Luyang Township resolutely dedicated themselves to the county government, and Liu Jian traveled south and north in order to seek officials when he was young, and he had never seen such a generous and benevolent nobleman.
Thinking of this, Liu Wei ignored Zhao Yu's young age, and bowed his hand and said: "The second son of hard work has been running for me Luyang these days. ”
He gave such a heavy gift, which Zhao Yu did not expect.
I saw that Zhao Yu hurriedly held Liu Wei's hands, and said with a smile: "Liu Gong's words are too obvious, my Zhao family is also a member of Luyang, not to mention, that canal is also named after my father, the kid naturally has to do his best." ”
"Haha." Liu Wei laughed when he heard this, and immediately promised: "Okay, good, if the townsman doesn't think Liu's words are ugly, Liu will personally carve a river monument for him, so that my Luyang people can remember the kindness of the townsman from generation to generation......"
"Then ...... When the time comes, please Liu Gong. ”
"Haha, it's easy to say."
After a moment of greetings, Liu Wei sent someone to Luyang County, a businessman with a face and a head of the family.
I have to say that it is indeed difficult for Luyang to be compared with Ye County, after the removal of the Hou Mansion of Luyang Township, the entire Luyang family is rich and wealthy, and there are no more than ten, think about Ye County, at that time, it was full of the courtyard of the entire county government.
When these people arrived, Zhao Yu first introduced himself, and then told these people about the affairs of Wancheng Military City and Luyang Freemasonry, including the first batch of transactions in Wancheng that had been successful a few days ago, and everyone present was quite moved.
Speaking of which, these people also knew each other, and when Zhao Yu invited them on behalf of the Luye Freemasonry, they decided to join without hesitation, and they were not dissatisfied with his 'Yicheng clause'.
Obviously, they all know that since the second son of the township has moved many businessmen in Ye County, it doesn't matter to people whether they can win them over or not, to put it bluntly, this second son is purely taking them to make a fortune together.
Think about it, the military market, which is two percent higher than the market price and has huge potential, without this second son, where can they find it?
If they are still dissatisfied, then they are really not fit to eat this line of food.
After reaching an agreement with each other, Zhao Yu also handed over the follow-up to the chief steward Cao Ju, and he himself chatted with Liu Yi to the side hall for a while.
The topic of conversation is naturally Rushui County.
At that time, Zhao Yu asked Liu Wei: "Liu Gong, since that day, what news has there been from Rushui County?" ”
Of course, Liu Wei walked to the 'that day' that Zhao Yu said, referring to the day when the father and son of the Marquis of Luyang Township were humiliated in the Marquis of Ruyang's mansion, he stroked his beard and said: "After that day, Ruyang, Lunxian, and Xincheng counties all sent people to negotiate with Liu one after another, and while announcing the cessation of the money and grain funding to my Luyang, and at the same time withdrawing the people who were sent to help at the beginning. Due to the lack of manpower, I had to order the refugees in the work sites to self-govern and promote those cantonment chiefs to take care of the rest, but fortunately, these work sites have gradually settled down, and those people have been evacuated without causing any chaos. ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and added: "By the way, only the people sent by Yangren County are still in my Luyang work site, and Zheng Zixiang, the county commander of Yangren County, has not sent anyone to notify me of Luyang's funding. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Zhengzhou, Zheng Zixiang?" ”
"Exactly." Liu Wei nodded.
Receiving Liu Wei's affirmative reply, Zhao Yu was quite surprised.
You know, if he is not mistaken, Yangren County Commander Zhengzhou and Zheng Zixiang are the nephews of Zheng Zhong, Marquis of Ruyang, and the cousins of his son Zheng Qian.
"Could it be that the relationship between the two houses of the Zheng family is not harmonious?" Liu Jian also felt very strange.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not." …… When Zheng Qian came to my mansion to ask about the crime, I asked him about his relationship with Zheng Zixiang, the county magistrate of Yangren County, and he replied that it was his cousin, with a little pride in his expression, not to mention that when the father and son of the Marquis of Ruyang invited my father and son to a banquet that day, Zheng Zixiang was also invited, and it didn't look like a bad relationship......
Liu Yi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then I am afraid that the statement of the townsman and the second prince in the Ruyang Marquis Mansion that day shocked that Zheng Zixiang, then Zheng Zixiang was afraid that this matter would not end at that time, so he sold his personal favor to my townsman and the second son, in case something really happened at that time, he would also come forward to make peace between the Zheng family and the second son of Ruyang......"
Zhao Yu felt that what Liu Wei said was very reasonable, and nodded slightly.
At this time, Liu Wei seemed to have thought of something, and asked Zhao Yu with a smile: "By the way, in the past few days, there has been a rumor in my Luyang, saying that the Rushui counties have betrayed their promises, abandoned the agreement with my Luyang that day, cut off money and food funding, and disregarded the lives and deaths of many refugees in my Luyang, Liu sent someone to investigate, but found ......"
"Let Liu Gongjian smile." Zhao Yu arched his hand and admitted very frankly: "It is indeed the news that the kid sent a servant to pass on, and the kid always feels that he can't swallow this breath." ”
Obviously, Liu Wei had already guessed that it was Zhao Yu's instructions, and he was not surprised to see him admit it, so he frowned and nodded and said: "The second son has a grudge in his heart, Liu can understand it, but Liu is worried that this matter will make a big ......."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Duke Liu, please rest assured, for those county orders in Rushui County, of course the kid does not dare to retaliate, in fact, there is no need to retaliate, such as Wang Dan and Wang Fengzhong, who are not the same clan and disciples of Wang Taishi, General Wang Shangde who garrisoned Wancheng is still the nephew of Wang Taishi, our two counties of Luye are now trading with those Wang generals, and it can be regarded as having something to do with the Wang family, right?" Then Wang Dan looks at General Wang's face, does he want to open the net? ”
Liu Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The reputation of the Wang family ...... I persuaded the second prince not to have anything to do with them, but what the second son said was right, if he knew what the second son was doing now, then Wang Dan should not embarrass me Lu Yang anymore......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly understood Zhao Yu's intentions: Zhao Yu 'forgiven' the county orders of Rushui County, doesn't this mean that he has to deal with the Marquis of Ruyang?
Thinking of this, he tactfully persuaded: "The Zheng family has a huge influence in Henan, and the second son must not ...... Despise. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Yu immediately realized that this Liu Gong had guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Thank you Liu Gong for his advice, the kid also knows that the Zheng family is powerful, and with my family's current ability, if you want to make the other party change your mind, I'm afraid it's just a fool's dream, but the kid believes that a drop of water can pierce a stone, and a thousand miles of embankment can also be destroyed in an anthill...... It's not too early, so the kid won't bother Liu Gong and leave for the time being. ”
“……”
Looking at Zhao Yu, who seemed to be confident, Liu Wei nodded slightly.
He always felt that Zhao Yu, the second son of the Luyang townsman, was definitely the only genius he had seen so far.
"If one day, this son bumps into that Yang Ding, I don't know what kind of scene it is......
Liu Wei thought secretly.
