Chapter 189: Silverfish
"Grandparents, I heard from Aunt Lin that Grandparents' meals have not been fragrant recently, and I have no appetite...... Because my granduncle had just recovered from a serious illness, he couldn't get into greasy meat, so I asked people to go to Tianning Temple and invite two masters who could make vegetarian food to come back. Tomorrow, you can taste it and see how it is. ”
Saying that, Jia Qiang said to Aunt Mei: "If my aunt and grandfather still stay up late like this next time, please persuade my aunt seriously." Not to mention Aunt Lin, in the future, even I will hide behind my aunt and grandfather with a thick skin, relying on his old man to shelter from the wind and rain. This body is not better than the bones, but it is amazing. ”
Aunt Mei said with a smile: "Serious persuasion? How else can I be conssuaded? ”
Lin Ruhai waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, I'll pay more attention in the future." ”
He was not afraid of death in his heart, and dying for his father's diligence was the highest reputation and virtue of a scholar.
But now, Lin Ruhai doesn't want to die in his heart.
Because he has already "died" once, the feeling of dying is actually not terrible for death itself, but terrible is that he is not at ease with the orphan girl and the relatives around him.
It was a feeling of being blind, and Lin Ruhai didn't want to try it a second time......
He has never been able to be like Han Bin, who can really sacrifice himself for the country.
The "body" here is not only Han Bin himself, but also his flesh and blood, his relatives, and his clansmen.
Perhaps Lin Ruhai himself was born as a liehou, and there is still the "selfishness" of the nobility in his blood......
Therefore, he decided that he would not fight to the death in the future, but do his best.
"Brother Qiang, this matter must be fast, stable, and ruthless!"
Approaching the end of the conversation, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and admonished.
Jia Qiang nodded and said, "I will communicate with Uncle Chen more about this matter, and my uncle can rest assured that it is not difficult." It's the Qi family...... Can you give him three to five years? ”
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he frowned and thought about it, and then said slowly: "I can't make up my mind about this matter alone, so I still send someone to Jiangning to ask Banshan Gong's opinion." However, there shouldn't be much of an obstacle. The Duke of Mid-Levels is not a murderous person, if he can steadily implement the new policy, the family will ...... Let him go. ”
This is obviously not just a question of whether to kill or not, but the Qi family, a golden pig made of gold from beginning to end, is almost the meat of the mouth, and it is actually difficult to make a choice if it is released like this.
But what Jia Qiang said also makes sense, if the Qi family can successfully raise the flag, then when cleaning up other families, the Qi family can lead the families that have not been cleaned up to take over the salt farms, salt farmers and salt transportation channels of the cleaned salt merchants.
In this way, it can ensure to the greatest extent that the salt industry of the two Huai will not be in chaos, will not affect the people to eat salt, and will not cause chaos.
Thinking about this, Han Bin shouldn't be killed.
"Brother Qiang, you are different from ordinary people, don't talk about it, how many years older is your second uncle, but he ...... It's the style of a serious public child. You are not like the Jia family, you call me an aunt and grandfather, but you are a distant relative outside the five suits, and I also regard you as my disciple. Therefore, you say that in the future, the family will live and die together, and there is some truth in it. Since you have this mind, then I will leave this matter to you. You go and discuss with your Uncle Chen how to be the safest. My body bones really can't hold up, and I really want to make a big fight, I'm afraid that my bones will fall apart. ”
Lin Ruhai said and laughed at himself.
Jia Qiang nodded and said: "This matter is mainly due to Uncle Chen's appearance, and I mainly knock on the side, just light a fire by the way." ”
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
……
At noon the next day, the sun rises three poles.
After sleeping for four hours, Jia Qiang got up.
Methodical exercise, washing, breakfast and lunch at the same time, reading, writing......
I finished it in one go, and it was already afternoon.
After taking a nap, I naturally couldn't sleep, after putting away the pen, I listened to the mother-in-law's message, Xue Pan had something urgent, Jia Qiang thought about it, it should be the matter of Zhang Dehui, the chief shopkeeper of Xue Jiafeng, and went to the guest room.
Sure enough, on the outer hall of the guest room, I saw Zhang Dehui and two middle-aged men with defeated faces kneeling there.
Xue Pan sat on the main seat to eat tea, because this guest room was also equipped with a boiler, so he only wore a single shirt and sat down, still restless, and wanted to do it several times.
Seeing Jia Qiang coming in, he stood up with a "rub", pointed at Zhang Dehui and their two sons and scolded: "Brother Qiang, look, since beating my grandfather, his family has been working in my family for a living, and now he has done things like eating inside and out, and he has been greedy for twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver!" ”
Twenty or thirty thousand?
Jia Qiang looked at Zhang Dehui, then at his two disgraced sons, and asked indifferently, "Is it really only twenty or thirty thousand?" ”
Zhang Dehui raised his head in astonishment when he heard this, and argued: "Uncle Jia, a family like ours can save twenty or thirty thousand yuan, which is a lot!" ”
Jia Qiang smiled, looked down at Zhang Dehui's two sons, and said, "I'll give you one last chance and allow you to report the count again." The Chen family is one of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, in addition to the salt industry, the pawnshop of his family is the best, because his shopkeeper's eyesight is good, and the account room is also good. If you really get to that point, you don't blame me and Brother Xue for not leaving a decent place for Mr. Zhang's cabinet, and the love of several lifetimes has been ruined by you, and when the time comes, you can only report to the official to deal with it. Don't think that we don't dare to report to the official, and the ordinary rich businessmen dare not report to the official when such things happen, because after their silver enters the yamen, they must be stripped of most of their skin, but our silver is reported to the yamen, which one dares to deduct one or two? At that time, it will be difficult for you to die. I finally asked, is it really only 20,000 or 30,000 taels? ”
Zhang Dehui's eldest son's name is Zhang Fu, hearing Jia Qiang's cold voice and intimidation, the two strands of bluffing, while kowtowing again and again, stammered: "Small...... The little one didn't dare to deceive the uncle, really...... There really are only so many ...... That's a lot of silver. ”
Xue Pan saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, and looked at Jia Qiang suspiciously, wanting to say if it was almost the same.
But Jia Qiang sneered: "There is only so much silver, so what about the flowers spent over the years?" Have you bought a house with greedy money? Have you bought land? Have you bought a store? Is there any lending out? ”
A series of questions, like a series of arrows, made Zhang Fu's face pale, and he looked at Jia Qiang in horror and fear, and forgot to answer for a while.
With such an appearance, not to mention Jia Qiang, even Xue Pan saw that something was wrong, and an arrow stepped forward and kicked Zhang Fu over, shouting and scolding: "It's the other way around!" This family is all rebellious, I will spare you today, and I will not live at all! ”
"Say!! How much is greedy? ”
Jia Qiang asked sharply.
Zhang Dehui burst into tears and scolded: "Black-hearted brute, don't say it again, don't call me dad in the future, it will affect my innocence, you will die to you, and I won't recognize you." ”
Zhang Fu's brother Zhang Gui was a little timid, and after these three pressures, he couldn't bear it, and cried: "There are a total of more than 100,000 taels, but just like this uncle said, they were all bought into Zhuangzi, doorways and houses, and some of the money for printing was released......"
Jia Qiang sneered, he shouldn't have known this.
But as the saying goes, the crows in the world are as black as they are, just by looking at what the nest of minions of the Jia family have done, you can imagine what the shopkeepers of the Xue family will do.
Those minions of the Jia family are still under their noses, what about the Xue family?
After the death of Xue Li, the head of the Xue family, Aunt Xue took a pair of children to the capital, and the business in the provinces could only be maintained by the shopkeeper and the guys.
The result?
In the original world, when Xue Pan's two goods had an accident again and needed silver, Aunt Xue found out that the doors and shops in various provinces had been in deficit over the years.
At that time, it would be impossible for Aunt Xue to do anything she wanted, let alone what she could do.
In this way, the Xue family, which has pearls like earth and gold, was eaten and drunk by a group of silverfish......
Originally, these had nothing to do with Jia Qiang, but in this life, although Xue Pan was still messing around, he was very righteous to him, and helped him several times when he was down.
This is one of them.
Second, Jia Qiang also needs the Xue family's shops all over the world as channels.
No matter which generation, no matter what kind of business you do, opening up distribution channels is a key constraint on whether you can do it big.
Although he already has some powerful allies at the moment, it is impossible for Jia Qiang to bet all his chips on a few salt merchants, just as Lin Ruhai warned him, the Qi family, the Chen family, the Xu family and other families, none of them are good.
Therefore, he also needs to find more channels and resources to fight for a greater voice.
And if you want to gather the maximum energy in the shortest possible time, what other way can it be cheaper than the Xue family's Feng Zihao......
The Xue family's business background in Jiangnan for more than 60 years cannot be bought in a short period of time, no matter how much gold and silver they use.
Jia Qiang borrowed the channels of Fengzi all over the world, and was able to help the Xue family keep this family business, which can be described as the best of both worlds, so he is very concerned.
After the brothers Zhang Fu and Zhang Gui explained the total 120,000 taels of silver they had embezzled over the years, Jia Qiang held down Xue Pan, who was angry and wanted to smash their dog's head, and said: "Now I will give you a way to live, sign a death contract, and follow your Xue family uncle to do things from now on, or, you can be put in prison now, and exiled to Mobei tomorrow." ”
Zhang Fu and Zhang Gui naturally had nothing to say, so they obediently signed the deed of sale and directly signed the deed of death, and from then on, life and death were theoretically in the Xue family.
After signing, Jia Qiang finally said: "Go home and clean up all the family property that you shouldn't get and return it to the treasury." In addition, three days later, there will be two shopkeepers and five account offices to thoroughly inspect the shops of the Xue family together with you. Mr. Zhang's cabinet is the boss cabinet of Fengzi, who has unclean hands and feet, and you have a number in your heart. The conditions are also like you, honestly spit out all the greedy ink over the years, and signed the deed of sale, otherwise you will be sent directly to the official. I will ask a clerk from the Yamen of the Salt Courtyard to bring two salt ladies with you to deal with this matter. ”
……
After the Zhang family went down, the anger on Xue Pan's face faded, and he actually smiled and said, "120,000 silver?!" Obediently, Brother Qiang, our brothers have made a fortune! It's strange that Emperor Lao Tzu loves to copy his house, and this copy is too refreshing! When we copy all the doors and shops in various provinces, I'm afraid we will copy out one or two million taels? ”
Jia Qiang looked at Xue Pan speechlessly, and said, "This silver should have belonged to your family, but now it has been lost and recovered, what are you happy about?" Moreover, the reason why the Zhang brothers were able to make so much money was because they guarded the Jinling book, and secondly, they were the head cabinet, which was cheap for them to fool with silver. Elsewhere, it's not so good. If you turn it down, you can copy out four or five hundred thousand taels, which is amazing. ”
When Xue Pan heard this, although he was a little disappointed, he was also content, and said: "That's enough, Brother Qiang, let's discuss, this silver will be repaid to you for the 20,000 first, and then you will leave me another 20,000 flowers, go to Qinhuai River Gaole for a few days, and you can use the rest, how about it?" ”
