"Young master, as you expected, someone came to discuss the horse business, but it was just ..........."

Liu Mingzhi slapped the fan in his hand and looked at Ma Biao, who wanted to speak and stopped: "It's just, it's just that this person is from the Hong family, right!" ”

"How does the young master know that it is Hong Ping, the head of the Hong family?" For the first time, Ma Biao knew that Liu Mingzhi could simply pinch and calculate, as if he knew everything.

Liu Mingzhi is not able to pinch and calculate, but to find out the psychology of the Hong family, since the Hong family has the intention to enter the horse business, it is natural to pay attention to the situation of the Liu family horse farm in every move, although that day deliberately let Liu Song go to the Hong Mansion to deliver false news to stimulate the nerves of the Hong family, but Hong Ping is an old fox who has been in business for a long time after all, and it is impossible to easily believe the words of his subordinates, and he will definitely send someone to monitor the business of the Liu family horse farm.

Liu Mingzhi, who guessed this step, had already arranged in advance for people to guard the situation around the racecourse and prohibit strangers from entering to watch, which interrupted the Hong family's sight.

Liu Mingzhi instructed Ma Biao to rush the horses loaded with horseshoes from the north gate of Yangzhou City to the official road of Bingzhou every day, and then enter through the south gate of Yangzhou City after making a big circle, pretending to be horses transported from Suzhou.

The horses are equipped with horseshoes and naturally do not have to worry about the problem of long-distance running, and the horse masters have also completely spread their temperament, galloping wildly, each time there are one or two hundred good horses, and some dozens of good horses turn around in Yangzhou City, deliberately attracting the eyes and ears of the Hong family.

The Hong family could not monitor the situation of the horse farm, so they would naturally arrange manpower at each city gate, and sure enough, as Liu Mingzhi expected, the north gate rushed to Bingzhou, and there were always groups of people who reported to the Hong family master that no horse went out of the city to Suzhou from the south.

"Dad, let's wait a little longer, the people sent by Uncle Dong to Bingzhou to inquire about the news will be able to come back soon, what if it is a plan set up by the surname Liu?"

Hong Ping shook his head with a calm face: "I can't wait, five hundred good horses have entered and exited around the past two days, isn't this Liu Mingzhi a famous gentleman in Jinling?" Phew, the old man sees that this kid is even more ruthless than his father, and there is no need for conspiracy and tricks, so he will directly put a trick for me here, hold up his pockets and wait for my Hong family to drill in, and we can't stop drilling. ”

"Dad, why, why do you have to go to his Liujia Horse Farm to buy horses? We can go back to Huma next year, Dad, haven't you found a reliable way? ”

"This is where Dad said that he has a ruthless vision, since he can know how much silver our Hong family has lost in selling Huma this year, he can know that Dad can only get this batch of Huma to sell, and if you want to sell horses, you must go to Liu's house to buy horses."

"What? Dad, you don't have a way? Didn't you tell Ma Biao ............"

"That's the old man who deceived him, just to want him to agree to my Hong family's shareholding in the business of the Liujia Horse Farm, Feng'er, how can Hu Ma be so easy to get, if there is a way, the cavalry of the imperial court will not still ride a large number of Central Plains horses, don't you see that this time the business of 1,500 of the 2,000 Hu horses was all bought by the Ma Zheng Secretary of the imperial court?"

"Dad, we have been guarding against Huma's affairs this time, how does the Liu family know?"

Hong Ping smiled bitterly: "Jiangnan Liu, Northwest Cloud is not just two titles, this is strength, as Liu Mingzhi said, no matter how rich my Hong family is, it can only run rampant in Yangzhou, how many places in Jiangnan are there, under the jurisdiction of five prefectures and thirty-two states, his Liu family's business is all over 27 states and counties in Jiangnan, as Liu Mingzhi said, the Liu family released a sentence, the threshold of businessmen who come to seek cooperation can be smoothed for the Liu family, so the Jiangnan Liu family can be called Jiangnan Liu, do you know how much silver the Liu family has? It is said that the king of Huainan did not know. ”

"Dad, in that case, then you still have to swear and threaten to join the Liu family's business?"

"The old man thought that the Ma family was just a small business of the Liu family in Yangzhou, but he never thought that the Ma family was the face of the Liu family."

Liu Mingzhi looked at a sentence on the rice paper and couldn't help but chuckle, businessmen can't leave the door if they want to get rich, the ancients don't deceive me, I don't know if the old man is considered a collusion between officials and businessmen.

'Virtuous brother, Hu Ma has no door, and Song Yu is paid. ’

Song Yu, the secretary of the military department of the Great Dragon Dynasty, the situation of Ma Zheng is under the jurisdiction of the military department, Song Yu as the secretary of the military department naturally knows the importance of Huma, every day the Great Dragon Dynasty does not know how many secret agents, how many officials and businessmen are opening the door of Hu Ma but there is no result, a court is still in the ground, not to mention a small Yangzhou gentry.

There were two thousand horses in Yangzhou, which is not a small number, and Liu Zhi'an sent someone to deliver the letter to Song Yu, the eldest brother of the Beijing Division, as soon as he got the message from Ma Biao.

Song Yu received a letter from Liu Zhi'an, and the entry of two thousand horses into the country was naturally not trivial, this was an important way to open up the business between the Great Dragon Dynasty and the grassland, and naturally it could not be sloppy.

This batch of Huma was bought by Hong Ping from a merchant from the Western Regions for twice the amount of silver, and the merchant from the Western Regions disappeared without a trace after reaching a business.

Therefore, Song Yu replied to Liu Zhi'an, and Hu Ma had no way. When Liu Mingzhi came to Yangzhou, Liu Zhian handed over the letter to Liu Song, and Liu Song handed it over to Liu Mingzhi after Liu Song arrived in Yangzhou.

Therefore, Liu Mingzhi concluded that the Hong family must not be able to leave the Liu family if they want to sell horses, and selling horses is a business, and investing in shares is a partnership, and these two things cannot be confused.

"Ma Biao, take the candle."

After Ma Biao gave the order, someone immediately walked in with a candlestick lit with a bright candle, and Liu Mingzhi burned the letter in his hand to ashes before letting the candlestick take away.

Liu Mingzhi ignored Ma Biao's doubts and muttered to himself: "There is always a hidden danger in some things, only when the ashes are extinguished can people be reassured, this is for the sake of the lives of hundreds of families, I never thought that one day I would become at ease doing this kind of tricky thing." ”

"What the young master said is so right, some things are really gone to make people feel at ease."

"Uncle Ma? The old man of my family called the Liu family Jiangnan Liu, I don't know how many people died in the pit? ”

Ma Biao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Liu Mingzhi to ask this kind of question: "Young master, those who become big things are not informal, shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is inevitable that people will be ruined, this is like a confrontation between the two armies, if you don't die, I will die, sometimes even if you can't bear it, you have to be ruthless, cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, and the chaos is endless." ”

"Are you that I'm not ruthless enough than the old man?"

"Young master, Lao Ma has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

"Tell me about it."

"Although the young master is a well-known gentleman in Jinling and even in Jiangnan, but the gentleman's disciple is a gentleman's disciple, and he can't get on the stage, and compared to being ruthless, a hundred young masters are not as good as half of the head of the family."

Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes, and Liu Zhi'an, who opened his mouth and closed his mouth, but never really got angry with himself, Liu Zhi'an, who spoke in a bandit, opened his mouth and closed his mouth, but obeyed his wife's words, in an instant, Liu Mingzhi opened his eyes, is it really so easy to sit down with the destruction of the family?

"Did the old man tell you how to punish the Hong family?"

"The master means that anyone who covets the Liu family will have to pay the price, but later the master wrote that the young master has full authority to deal with it."

"What will happen to me if I mess up?"

"More than a thousand good horses, hundreds of thousands of silver make the old horse look at me very heartbroken, but the old man said, just let the young master practice his hands, if you lose money, you will lose money, it's just a small thing."

"100,000 taels of silver to practice his hands, the old man is really rich and not ..... Rich and rich. ”
