"Dafu", Liu Ximing asked Li Dafu, the director of commercial housing in Hexi Town: "Have our goods been sold during this time?" ”

"Second Young Master, according to the arrangement of Deputy Deputy Su, the merchant house has established three shops in the town, selling fine weaving, pearl white and bisong tea respectively, but due to the limitation of production, every time it is sold, it is sold out."

Li Dafu got up and accosted.

Liu Ximing smiled at the corner of his mouth, then this thing was done.

He explained his thoughts to the people in the house: "This time Hexi Town was raided by Bailongzhai, although Yongkai and others were alert to avoid the catastrophe, but if we want to rise, it will inevitably affect the interests of the big families in the house, and this kind of thing will inevitably not happen again in the future." ”

"Compared with these big households, our foundation is too shallow, so I plan to take this opportunity to bring these small and medium-sized businesses over to show their eyes."

Yu Yongkai thought thoughtfully, "Is this what the second brother said about making good friends and making fewer foreign enemies?" ”

"But these businessmen are just profit-seekers, if we really have something we can rely on?" , Mu Jingnan was a little skeptical.

"It's not unreasonable to consider the difficulty," Liu Ximing smiled and continued: "But as you said, businessmen are profit-seeking, and at present, all kinds of commercial territories in Shunqing Mansion have basically been divided, and most of them have been taken away by Chen, Huang and other big clans, and these people are just eating some scraps. ”

"What would they think if there was an undistributed piece of fat in front of them right now?"

"Hahaha, that must be a swoop over and want to take a bite", Yu Yongkai listened and laughed and continued the topic, "So the second brother wants to use our family's concessions to collect them?" Gao, this trick will definitely work. ”

I didn't expect your kid to learn to shoot rainbow farts, Liu Ximing looked at Yu Yongkai's slightly exaggerated performance and was a little funny, it seems that this kid has also developed a sense of crisis in his heart after staying outside for a long time.

After a while, he can be rotated back, and a thought flashed through Liu Ximing's mind.

"Yes, Dafu, you and He Mingyuan in the account room are familiar with the people in these firms, the two of you go and call their managers in, let's solve this matter now."

"Oh, by the way, don't say anything to them."

"Yes", Li Dafu and He Mingyuan, who had a straight face, bowed down and walked out of the door together.

Outside the gate of the inspection compound, Steward Zhou of Longyi Firm and Steward Wang of Fuhua Firm were looking at the door of the inspection compound anxiously at first sight.

"These thieves, if it weren't for them, our cargo ship wouldn't have been damaged, I really don't know what to do." , Steward Zhou said to Steward Wang with a miserable face.

"Hey, who says it's not, it seems that I can't pay the difference this time."

"You say", Steward Zhou quietly pointed to the inspection compound, "Will they pay for it?" ”

Steward Wang shook his head, "I look at the hanging."

, People are also victims, the inspection department is said to have died hundreds of people, in exchange for you, will you compensate? ”

Steward Zhou was a little anxious all of a sudden, "But it's really their family who fired the cannon." ”

Steward Wang then let out a long sigh, Lao Zhou was also about to be cornered, I heard that their family spent a lot of money on the goods this time?

Not only the two of them were discussing, but there were also several business stewards at the door, and their own men were waiting at the door to find some benefits from the inspection department, and everyone was in full swing for a while.

"Squeak", everyone was talking about the fierce place, and the door of the inspection department suddenly opened.

Seeing that it was Li Dafu and He Mingyuan, who everyone often dealt with, everyone hula suddenly surrounded them.

"Associate Li and Associate He, what is the explanation for this matter, your cannon hit my ship, you have to give an explanation, right?"

"yes, yes......"

"Quiet!" , Li Dafu Liu Ximing was very bold and bold, and directly scolded loudly.

"The second young master of my family is in the town, now please ask the stewards of each business to come out and talk with us in detail."

The crowd outside the door quieted down suddenly, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what the Liu family is making trouble about.

"Just go", Steward Zhou saw that no one was up, remembered his own batch of goods, and gritted his teeth and stood out.

When the other merchants saw him walking in front, they all followed suit.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, a group of businessmen were all trembling, last night's battle was too miserable, the yard was full of wounded, a stream of blood and the smell of herbs made everyone's heart sink, it seems that I can't talk about anything today.

Li Dafu and He Mingyuan walked through the courtyard with seven preoccupied business stewards, and as soon as they entered the main hall, they saw Mu Jingnan and the others in armor, and Steward Zhou and the others did not dare to say a word.

On the contrary, Liu Ximing smiled kindly, waved his hand and motioned for the seven of them to take a seat.

"I haven't met you yet, let me introduce myself, under Liu Ximing, he is the head of the Liu family", Liu Ximing picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, and said with a smile.

Steward Zhou and the others saw that Yu Yongkai, the inspector of Hexi Town, was sitting next to Liu Ximing, and they didn't know that he was the main master, but they were infected by his kind expression, and they all hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile, "I've seen Liu Gongzi." ”

"No need to be polite, why are you here?"

Steward Zhou, Steward Wang and the others looked at each other and didn't know how to speak, and finally Steward Zhou gritted his teeth and got up and arched his hand: "Back to Liu Gongzi, in the battle last night, there were many damage to the cargo ships of our firm, after all, this is Liu Gongzi's territory, these losses are ......."

Yu Yongkai and Mu Jingnan on the side stared at everyone in the hall with stiff faces, but Liu Ximing was still smiling, and Steward Zhou gritted his teeth and continued

"These losses should be compensated by Hexi Town. ”

"Presumptuous", Mu Jingnan made a vicious appearance and was almost about to pounce, but Yu Yongkai hurriedly stopped him.

However, he still pointed at these people and scolded: "If it weren't for my Liu family to protect your peace, not to mention the loss of these ships, I'm afraid all the goods will be folded here, you dare to let us compensate, bastard, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut you." ”

"Hiss", Steward Zhou and the others were so frightened by Mu Jingnan's expression that they got up and retreated again and again, and they all regretted entering this land of tigers and wolves in their hearts.

Steward Wang bowed with a bitter face, "Liu Gongzi, if it's not for us to mess around, it's really a small business for us, and we can't afford such a big loss." ”

"There are still rules that should be established, and I can't fight hard with the water bandits in front of my family, but you knocked me out", Liu Ximing waved his hand to signal Mu Jingnan to retreat, and still said slowly.

Steward Zhou and the others were cold when they heard Liu Ximing's words, but they saw him continue: "I think my family was too kind in the past, and I was thought to be kind and deceitful by you, I can understand this, after all, it is a stroke to knock on a stroke, don't you say?" ”

As soon as Liu Ximing's voice fell, Mu Jingnan, Zhang Jingliang and others who were surrounded on both sides viciously pushed their waist knives out of the scabbard and stepped forward to surround them.

The stewards of the seven businesses "pounced" and knelt on the ground, and Steward Zhou kept bowing with a pale face: "Liu Gongzi is angry, we are definitely not here to take advantage of your family, this matter is indeed that we have not thought it through, Hexi Town suffered this catastrophe, and the soldiers and soldiers are not able to do so, we are more blessed, we really shouldn't add fuel to the fire, let's go." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go", Steward Wang and the others echoed for a while, and several people kept wiping cold sweat and planned to push out of the main hall.

"Stop", Liu Ximing shouted to stop them.

"It's miserable", the seven people turned their heads to look at Liu Ximing in two tremors, and their hearts jumped to their throats.

"I can't say it's going to bleed hemorrhage again", a group of people all thought of this, everyone looked at each other, and found that each other's eyes were full of bitterness.

Liu Ximing looked at the changing faces of these people and was a little funny, his attitude just now was just to bluff them, otherwise wouldn't it make people think that they were weak and could be bullied, but they didn't expect them to be so intimidated.

"Reparations are impossible, and there is no such reason in the world."

"But ......"

Liu Ximing walked a few steps forward and approached Steward Zhou's side, "You have had a lot of business dealings with my family in the past few months, and I heard from Assistant Li that your business is also reputable. ”

"That's, that's, don't dare to say anything else, keep your promises, I don't dare to forget it for a moment." , Steward Zhou saw that Liu Ximing's tone softened, and hurriedly answered the conversation with a smile.
