Chapter 507: All-round Attack (Part II)
Yu Hanshan sat in a carriage and walked around the street little by little, and suddenly found that the street had unconsciously undergone great changes, his own shops were almost deserted, and the newly opened shops were springing up on both sides of the street, and people were flowing in and out, and business was booming. He also saw that many young ladies of small families were excited to leave this house and enter that house, and they were very busy.
"Lao Jin, how is our business lately? Still not improving? Yu Hanshan asked sullenly, and his steward accompanied her on patrol in the carriage.
"Master, almost all of them are losing, and now there are so many shops at once, all of them are from the Southern Zirui Kingdom to open shops here, all of them are extraordinary, and some are from Princess Island, or from the West, and they are all fresh things that are not usually seen! Especially recently, the tobacco and smoking utensils have become the hottest and sought-after goods in Huiwen County. Look at it, one cigarette stick per person! Alas, I heard that it was all for the sake of the King's face! The steward's old Jin sighed and said.
"The Liu family, the Hu family, the Lu family, and other small families are all unwilling to take credit now?" Yu Hanshan asked with a calm face.
"Yes, they said that the money in hand is tight now, and they no longer pay on credit, and they have to pay at least 50% in cash if they want to buy goods! And...... I heard...... "Old Jin swallowed and vomited, and he wanted to speak.
"You don't have to say it, but you're not an outsider!" Yu Hanshan urged dissatisfiedly.
"I heard that some of these families have quietly gone to Tao Zhiqian, handed over all the excess land, and returned ......," Lao Jin still said without hesitation.
"Humph! And said that this was all instructed by my Yu family, isn't it? Hmph, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, I know the temperament of these people! It's hard to make a big deal! Yu Hanshan snorted and said Lao Jin's words straightforwardly.
Not only that, but those who were released were not only restored to civilian status, but also received compensation from these families, and the government was exempt from taxes for a year. So these poor sticks are now like a festival, buying this and that on the street! The people in the government said that this is called 'invigorating the economy', and the old slaves don't understand! However, in this way, those slaves in our Zhuangzi have also begun to move, and I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress it! Lao Jin said worriedly.
"Alas! This British king is powerful, this is a soft knife to kill people, if you don't move a single soldier, you will already let us sink into a predicament! Yu Hanshan said a little frustrated.
Depressed, Yu Hanshan also lit a pot of cigarettes, this thing is really a good thing, especially suitable for smoking two puffs when you are bored, the three elders of the Yu family are now addicted to smoking, no way, I am annoyed! Especially Yu Hansong, he can't do anything on the bed, he can only smoke to relieve his boredom!
Walking to the newly started chain store, here is tofu soup and fried stinky tofu, Yu Hanshan also got out of the carriage, and called 10,000 tofu soup and a plate of fried stinky tofu, but everyone is queuing, only he can sit down and enjoy, it seems that the owner of the chain store is still a little afraid of Yu Hanshan!
But Yu Hanshan didn't feel comfortable sitting there, and the people in line all looked at him coldly, especially those civilians, who looked at the saint in front of him with hostility.
I have to say that Zhu Xiaobao's strategy is very successful, not only high-end goods, but also this kind of goods that benefit the public, this kind of tofu soup is not only beautiful, but also inexpensive, and those ordinary people can also enjoy it.
The key is that now Huiwen County can still buy tofu products, which has greatly improved their lives, and they can conjure up a lot of delicious and inexpensive dishes! So those little families are waiting in line to get a spot in a chain store. And the common people are very supportive of the British king, and they are almost like small treasures!
But just such a little pastime, Yu Hanshan couldn't enjoy it, at this time, a family member came in a hurry, and said a few words in his ear, which immediately made Yu Hanshan so frightened that he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly got up and went out, got into the carriage, and hurried towards the third Yu Hanbai's Zhuangzi!
It turned out that Yu Zhongping voluntarily pleaded guilty, and now Tao Zhiqian is leading people to raid the house! Yu Zhongping didn't live in Yu Hanbai's Zhuangzi, so there was a conflict between the two sides.
When Yu Hanshan arrived, Tao Zhiqian was shaking his head and talking to Yu Hanbai: "Hehe! Master Yu San, you can take a good look, this Zhuangzi is yours, this West Cross Courtyard is Yu Zhongping's, if there is anything in it that you originally had, you have to point it out to me, we will definitely not take it, I just copied Yu Zhongping's family property, by the way, and his family, and also brought it to the county guard's mansion! ”
"Tao Zhiqian, don't deceive people too much! Don't think I don't know what you did to the second child Yu Hansong, you have eaten up all his land! Yu Hanbai said angrily and annoyedly, he was followed by a large number of nurses, all of whom were armed with weapons and ready to move.
"Presumptuous! Yu Hanbai, this county guard is acting in accordance with the law, do you still dare to openly resist the law? Yu Hansong's field has been encroached upon, so why hasn't anyone come to complain? Moreover, the recorded land yield under Yu Hansong's name is only 6,000 mu, can you tell me what is going on? Tao Zhiqian immediately replied with a calm face.
"You...... I ......" Yu Hanbai was not good at arguing, and now he is even more reasonable. Love 999
"The third! Come back! Let them copy it! Yu Hanshan had already arrived at this time, and immediately called Yu Hanbai back, and it could be seen that Tao Zhiqian came prepared, holding Yu Zhongping's confession in his hand, and the list on it was densely written!
Don't look at Zhuangzi is Yu Hanbai's, but there are really a lot of family properties in it, all of which have been accumulated by Yu Zhongping over the years, there is no shortage of rare treasures, there are a few kinds of jade and antiques, and Yu Hanshan is a little staggering to see, they are all priceless things!
Nine carriages were loaded one after another, not including the daily necessities such as clothes and bedding of those family members, plus these and hundreds of family members, and more than a dozen carriages were loaded!
Before leaving, Tao Zhiqian pretended to be pretentious and arched his hand towards the two old men Yu: "I will leave my leave, and I have a word for the two." It's better to go bankrupt than to be slashed! Yu Zhongping is very smart, so he took the initiative to confess! King Chitose is busy with other things now, and he can't take care of some small things, but when Chitose is done, hehe, many things should be settled, so ah, time is running out! ”
As soon as he said that, the two Master Yu were all like water, and they didn't even return the favor to Tao Zhiqian! Wait until Tao Zhiqian's men and horses return with a full load. Yu Hanbai said indignantly: "I didn't expect Yu Zhongping, this kid really voluntarily confessed, he should have listened to his eldest brother and killed him earlier!" ”
"Alas! Maybe not killing him is the best result, otherwise the consequences will be more serious! Yu Hanshan seemed to be a lot older all of a sudden, shook his head, and said depressedly.
"Big brother, are you really just ignoring it? Tao Zhiqian was still clamoring just now, and he would open a processing workshop on the land in Xitang in a few days, which is my land! Yu Hanbai shouted angrily.
"Your land? Is there a registration? Have you ever paid taxes? Tao Zhiqian is waiting for you to jump out! You don't see that even if the second child is eaten up so much, he can only swallow his anger. Now every day is smoking and drinking, there is no other way! Yu Hanshan looked at the third child silently, then lit a pot of cigarettes, and staggered back to his carriage.
……
On the way back, Tao Zhiqian said with a little emotion: "I didn't expect Yu Zhongping to be more greedy than I was at that time, and I don't have so much wealth!" Thinking about the loss of such a large fortune all of a sudden, I really admire myself! ”
"Hmph, don't you say that you saved the dog's life, and became the county guard again, don't be content! I warn you, don't use your brains with these possessions! Yu Li warned very seriously on the side.
"Yes, yes, yes, how can I use these brains, it's enough for you to pay me every time, let's forget it, it's been more than a dozen times, every time I make a discount, it should be almost two thousand taels of silver, right?" Tao Zhiqian leaned in front of Yu Li and whispered, laughing extremely obscenely!
"Get out! Do you want to sell well after taking advantage of it? There is an extra personal guard and an extra woman by your side, what else do you want? Yu Li suddenly whispered angrily, now that the relationship between the two has become very ambiguous, Tao Zhiqian is not afraid of Yu Li, isn't it already done!
But when the two of them passed by the street, Tao Zhiqian suddenly exclaimed, because he saw Zhu Xiaobao asking for a price with a painting seller, and finally he really bought it, and it cost a hundred taels of silver, Tao Zhiqian suddenly felt dizzy, it was his masterpiece!
"Chitose, Tao Zhiqian pleases Chitose! What did you buy this painting for? If you need me to draw one for you, wouldn't you? Tao Zhiqian hurriedly ran to Zhu Xiaobao and said with a grin.
"What? Just in time! I dare to sell this broken painting for a hundred taels, do people buy your paintings or are they with the name of you, the county guard? Zhu Xiaobao was angry, Tao Zhiqian came over in time, Zhu Xiaobao rolled the words in his hand into a roll, and slapped Tao Zhiqian's head again and again
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”
Tao Zhiqian shrank there stunned and didn't dare to move, and let Zhu Xiaobao slap his face on the street! The people next to him were stunned, and then they realized that this young man in civilian clothes turned out to be the King of England! And the usually high-spirited Tao Junshou is now shrinking his neck and facing each other!
"Little mistake! But I didn't let this slave sell it so expensive! Tao Zhiqian said with a sad face.
"Don't hit him! What he said was true, his paintings were sold for only five taels of silver! Yu Li hurriedly walked up at this time, stopped Zhu Xiaobao, and carefully helped Tao Zhiqian to straighten his clothes, and even looked a little heartbroken.
"Huh? What the hell is this? ”
