Chapter 723: What a Means
Hearing this, Liang Pingshu immediately smiled, a little embarrassed: "Qingzhu is really as powerful as before!" ”
Wen Qingzhu shook his head helplessly.
Xue Miaomiao came back from the Yuemen, and Liang Pingshu immediately said, "Don't tell her!" Otherwise, the effect will be gone! ”
"Okay."
When Xue Miaomiao arrived, she immediately tidied up her skirt and said to Liang Pingshu, "Come on!" ”
It's just that she couldn't help but turn her head to look to the side and found that Wen Qingzhu's eyes were very pitying.
"Cousin, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Wen Qingzhu immediately smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that you are too hard, if you can't persevere, remember that Ping Shu said that she is not such an unkind person." ”
When the word kindness came out, Liang Pingshu was immediately choked by his own saliva.
She hurriedly and secretly glanced at Wen Qingzhu: Hurry up! I've got me here!
Wen Qingzhu took the things, explained to Liang Pingshu, and left here.
Before leaving, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but glance at Xue Miaomiao again.
I really don't know if it's the right thing to do.
The valley lord replied, I'm afraid it will be at least seven or eight days later.
Xue Miaomiao here turned around, looked at Liang Pingshu with some suspicion and said, "I always feel that my cousin is sympathizing with me, am I wrong?" ”
"That's not sympathy, it's worry, after all, you have practiced so hard, Qingzhu is your only cousin, you will definitely be worried!"
Liang Pingshu said as she spoke, feeling more and more empty.
I hope I won't be debunked by then.
Back at the yamen, Jiang Yuanhan was discussing something with Fu Shiyi in the lobby.
Seeing her come back, Jiang Yuanhan immediately got up and walked over: "Sister! Come and check this out! ”
Jiang Yuanhan led Wen Qingzhu to the table, and there was a stack of official documents on it.
Looking at the location on the cover, it was from the Lingcheng side.
Wen Qingzhu took Jiang Yuanhan's official document and looked at it, and the first line shocked her.
Immediately, she raised her head and looked straight at Jiang Yuanhan: "The Shen family is buying grain at double the price!?" ”
"Well, there is not much grain in Lingcheng, in order to apologize, he has already sent a batch of grain in the yamen granary over, and he plans to buy it at the periphery of Lingcheng afterwards, but the price of grain has been raised all the way, and the silver allocated over can't buy much at all!"
Jiang Yuanhan's expression also became solemn, here in Kangcheng, he is still counting on the Jiangnan side to transport grain!
Crucially, it's much more than that.
"Sister, you continue to read it, the situation is a little urgent, Lord Lei took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Lingcheng."
Wen Qingzhu immediately lowered his head and continued to look.
When he was done, his face was unusually heavy.
Not only grain, but also cloth, cotton, wood and stone and other materials needed for the project.
"What the hell is going on with the Shen family? At this time, the price is deliberately raised, but fortunately things like salt and iron are not-"
Halfway through his words, Wen Qingzhu stood up abruptly, grabbed Jiang Yuanhan's shoulders and said, "Where is the main coarse salt and iron ore in Daqi?" ”
"Coarse salt is generally the salt lake in the west and the sea salt in the east, and there are many places where there are iron mines, but the main ones are in Hecheng and Longcheng."
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu's mind kept thinking about the territory of Daqi.
It's winter, and the salt lake produces very little, mostly sea salt.
Hecheng and Longcheng are on the way to Shazhou!
Wen Qingzhu's eyes widened instantly, and he scolded hatefully: "Jiang Yuancheng! You're such a good means! ”
"He does have some ability to command the Shen family, but things like salt and iron are all controlled by the government, so he shouldn't be able to interfere, right?"
When Jiang Yuanhan said these words, he was actually not quite sure.
It's really because Wen Qingzhu's expression is too gloomy, as if their current affairs can't go on!
Wen Qingzhu looked at Fu Shiyi, he was thoughtful.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu said weakly: "Master Fu, what is your guess, say it and see if it is the same as I thought?" ”
"That Weichen dared to say." Fu Shiyi stood up and said with a slightly serious expression, "I have stayed in the Jiangnan area for more than a year, I know the situation in that area very well, and the Shen family is not as simple as it looks at from the outside, and I am afraid that the matter of raising the price is to borrow the power of the emperor or His Royal Highness." ”
"Isn't the Shen family just a family of businessmen? Listen to my sister, there is indeed a lot of money, but no matter how much it is, it will never be more than the treasury! ”
"Madame may know better about this." Fu Shiyi didn't dare to say it directly, and threw the question out.
Jiang Yuanhan felt a little dignified, and saw Wen Qingzhu say in a daze: "It's really richer than the treasury, and the four words rich can rival the country are the most suitable for the Shen family!" ”
"Shen family......" Jiang Yuanhan pondered slightly, he didn't doubt Wen Qingzhu's words at all.
Just thinking about it carefully, he had already sent someone to investigate the details of the Shen family.
But the news I got wasn't too unusual.
Could it be that the Shen family is not just a wealthy businessman?
Wen Qingzhu looked at Jiang Yuanhan: "This matter is very serious, Lei Xiao is a person who does not move easily, he has passed, naturally he knows that this matter is very serious, but this time I am afraid that it is not Master Shen who makes a move, and Jing Yinuo has not completely taken over the Shen family's industry, according to Jiang Yuancheng's character......"
Of course, controlling Master Shen is more useful than controlling Jing Yinuo, after all, Master Shen has been able to keep a low profile for so many years, and his ability is very great.
Although Jing Yinuo couldn't completely control the Shen family, with Master Shen's letter, Jing Yinuo could barely control it.
In this way, they are very passive.
Calculated carefully, Wen Qingzhu didn't fully understand Jing Yinuo.
However, thinking that he cherishes the people so much, he must have a deeper affection for his grandfather.
Once there is a worry, the sanity will be affected to a greater or lesser extent. 163
In this way, the Shen family will really become Jiang Yuancheng's pawns.
"No, we still have a chance! Jing Yinuo can't control the Shen family! ”
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and sent someone to call Jia Xiaoer over.
However, the people sent out soon came back and only brought back Jia Xiaowu.
"Madam, Your Highness, Your Excellency."
After saying hello one by one, he turned his head to Wen Qingzhu and said, "Cousin went to Lingcheng this morning, he asked the villain to come to Madame, saying that there was something wrong with the Shen family, and he went over to find a way to investigate, maybe he could help the Shen family." ”
"Boss Jia rushed over now?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised, turned his head and asked Jiang Yuanhan, "When did you receive your official document?" ”
"Before noon." Jiang Yuanhan was silent, but he added, "Didn't you come to find my sister today?" There was news from Jiangnan that said that the local food transfer was too frequent, and I wanted to ask my sister, but my sister was not available. ”
Wen Qingzhu patted his forehead, even so, their news was still not as good as the news of the Jia family.
She turned her head and stared at Jia Xiaowu quietly.
Seeing that Jia Xiaowu was hairy all over, his scalp exploded, he swallowed his saliva and asked, "Madame, what do you have to ask?" ”
Wen Qingzhu sat down, his knuckles slowly tapping on the table: "I have an idea, maybe for you, the sacrifice is a bit big." ”
Jia Xiaowu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he tried to hold back his expression of almost crying.
Could it be that what my cousin said was a last resort, and it really had to happen?
"Madame, please." Jia Xiaowu faced his scalp and asked word by word.
After carefully looking at his expression, Wen Qingzhu suddenly smiled and said, "Before Boss Jia left, I'm afraid I have already explained it to you." ”
These words directly frightened Jia Xiaowu to his knees, but he didn't dare to raise his head at all: "Madam! My cousin said, as a last resort, I, our Jia family, can still fully cooperate with Mrs. ”
The last few words, as if someone was hanging around his neck, forced him to come out.
In particular, the four words 'full cooperation' are not light.
Carefully calculated, the Jia family is second only to the Shen family, and the operation of internal forces and news transmission are naturally private.
What's more, those who do business will inevitably have some dirty places.
Maybe it's not just a few places.
Wen Qingzhu was silent, if he counted it like this, it could be regarded as holding all the secrets of the Jia family in his hands.
Thinking that Jia Xiaoer actually explained this matter, Wen Qingzhu's opinion of him took another step.
Although he is a fat man, he is still quite powerful.
Now this judging the situation is even more sensitive and rapid than those officials in the court.
After thinking about this, Wen Qingzhu walked in front of Jia Xiaowu and personally helped him up: "Since your Jia family has this awareness, and the situation is special now, I can only guarantee that I will not treat you badly when the time comes, and I can even support you to overpower the Shen family." ”
The last sentence directly frightened Jia Xiaowu to kneel down again: "Madame's words are serious!" The villains are all untouchables, how dare they think so much. ”
"It's not necessary, I still appreciate ambitious people, ambitious people who can grasp the measure, I will give trust and reuse it vigorously!"
Jia Xiaowu didn't dare to speak, so he only said resignedly: "Otherwise, the villain will write a letter to his cousin first." ”
"Okay! But time waits for no one, so I'll take someone there now. ”
Wen Qingzhu said as he beckoned Xi'er to find Wang Chi.
After a while, Wang Chi came to him and greeted him with neither humility nor arrogance.
Wen Qingzhu beckoned him to come over and said to Jia Xiaowu: "His name is Wang Chi, a native of Yunzhou, don't look at him young, cultivate him well, he can be of great use!" ”
He ...... He's only a teenager, right? Jia Xiaowu was stunned, looking up and down at this yellow-faced and thin-skinned teenager.
His youngest sons are older than him!
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything, and asked Jiang Yuanhan and Fu Shiyi to continue to deal with it on the Yamen Council and Lingcheng.
The group went out by car and arrived at the Jia family's mansion.
Jia Xiaowu led the way in front, Wen Qingzhu followed behind him, led Wang Chi and said: "Wait until you have any emotions in your heart, you must restrain yourself, wait until I take you to the yamen, you can speak, if you can't restrain yourself, then I can only throw it into the barracks, and you don't touch these mundane things." ”
Wang Chiyang stared at Jia Xiaowu's back, he didn't have a good impression of these businessmen in his heart.
Yunzhou suffered, these businessmen not only did not help the people, but also took advantage of the fire to rob and collude with the government, so they were displaced.
But when he came to Cannes, he found that not all officials were the same.
Especially Wen Qingzhu, Wang Chi felt that his previous cognition had been completely subverted.
The most important thing is that he has also been trusted like never before, which makes him feel a mixed sense of gratitude.
Obviously, a high-ranking nobleman like Wen Qingzhu should be hated.
But he didn't, but admired it.
Especially in the past few days, he has learned a lot of things.
Although Yang Wu was very gloomy and had an ulterior purpose, he found that Yang Wu was indeed trying his best to teach him.
After a violent struggle in his mind, Wang Chi didn't know if he could hold back.
After all, that person sold him to a profiteer for three steamed buns!
Wang Chi calmed down, and Mrs. Fu Hou reminded her clearly enough.
This is his chance, and it is clear that his best future is not in the barracks.
"Hmm."
Wen Qingzhu laughed, feeling more and more satisfied.
Such a teenager, who grew up in such a harsh environment, still has this heart.
It seems that Yang Wu's judgment is not wrong.
"It's here!" Jia Xiaowu stopped in front and turned back with a nervous face.
