"Haha! Now I really want to see what Xu Zhao's expression will be! ”

Liu Juntao received the news sent by Liu Zi'an, and learned that the Xu family had been greatly injured, and tens of thousands of Xu family ironware were smashed in his hands, and a lot of silver was wasted, and his heart was extremely happy!

Tang Yu also said with a smile: "Lian is always calculating, this time the Xu family has lost at least two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, and in the future, the Xu family's ironware will be finished, if you want to restore the previous price, you will have to lose at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!" I see how arrogant Xu Zhaohui is! ”

However, Hu Dexing next to him frowned and said: "Although our Yushan Town has won a big victory in the business war, we must also beware of the Xu family dog jumping over the wall and fighting with us!" ”

Liu Juntao nodded and said, "Brother Hu is right, we must deal with it carefully!" ”

Tang Yu frowned and said: "Mr. Lian, Xuzhou is a long way from our Yushan Town, I don't think the Xu family should jump off the wall in a hurry, right?" After all, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip! ”

"Not necessarily!"

Liu Juntao said: "If I were that Xu Zhaohui, I would definitely not be able to swallow this breath, although I can't send a large group of people to the north because of the long distance, but I can send scattered people and horses to attack the shops in our Yushan Town all over Shandong, so that we can take care of ourselves!" ”

At this moment, Tang Yu and Hu Dexing were stunned, and both of them began to frown and think about countermeasures.

Hu Dexing thought for a while and said: "Jun Tao, if the Xu family really does this, then we will also send people south to attack the Xu family's industry and bleed each other, who is afraid of whom!" ”

Liu Juntao nodded calmly and said; "That's all there is to it!"

Then, Liu Juntao said to Tang Yu: "Notify the various industries of the Ministry of Commerce, let the guys be careful, and if necessary, you can have a good relationship with the local catchers and officials, or directly hire some thugs to watch the scene!" ”

Tang Yu said: "Got it! I'll do it! ”

After Tang Yu finished speaking, he was about to go to make arrangements, and he happened to collide with Liu Zi'an, who walked in quickly.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao asked, "Zi'an?" What's wrong? ”

I saw Liu Zi'an take out a letter from his arms and said, "Mr. Lian, this is a letter sent by Yan Shenggong!" ”

Liu Juntao took it and looked at it, and Tang Yu and Hu Dexing next to him whispered to ask what was going on.

Liu Zi'an took advantage of Liu Juntao's reading of the letter, and whispered to the two: "Late last night, Yan Shenggong sent someone to deliver the letter, saying that there was something important to discuss with Mr. Lian, and someone told me to be sure to dismantle Mr. Lian himself!" ”

Hu Dexing said suspiciously: "Didn't the person who came say what the specific thing was?" ”

Liu Zi'an shook his head and said, "The person who came didn't say it, I asked, but the person who came had a very hard mouth and didn't say anything, just said that this matter is very important, don't say more!" ”

Hu Dexing and Tang Yu glanced at each other when they heard this, and their hearts were all up and down, not knowing what happened, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

At this time, Liu Juntao finished reading the letter, raised it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yan Shenggong mentioned in the letter: Ren Chengwei's new commander asked Yan Shenggong for help, let Yan Shenggong build a bridge in the middle, and want to participate in our business in Yushan Town like Yan Shenggong!" ”

Hu Dexing, Tang Yu, and Liu Zi'an were all stunned when they heard this, and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while.

After a while, Hu Dexing asked, "Mr. Lian, the new commander of the city guard?" As far as I know, didn't the commander of the city guard lead his troops north, and where did this new commander come from? ”

Liu Juntao's expression darkened, sighed, and said: "Yan Shenggong mentioned in his letter that the imperial army has repeatedly lost on the border, and the original commander of the city guard has been defeated and martyred!" 100 households in Huakou Town and Huo Qianhu in Dong'e County were also martyred together! ”

Hearing this, Hu Dexing's eyes couldn't help but redden, his hands clenched tightly, obviously grief-stricken, and his heart was angry, if it weren't for Liu Juntao here, it is estimated that Hu Dexing would have had a seizure.

Next to them, Tang Yu and Liu Zi'an were also full of emotion, both of them didn't expect that the imperial army would be suppressed by the Warat Iron Cavalry, so that they lost their troops and lost their generals.

Tang Yu and Liu Zi'an looked at Hu Dexing's appearance and comforted him, Hu Dexing sighed heavily, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Mr. Lian, let's get down to business, I'm fine." ”

Liu Juntao sighed and said, "What do you think of the proposal of the new commander of the city guard?" ”

Since this matter is related to the Ministry of Commerce, Liu Zi'an and Hu Dexing both looked at Tang Yu, only to see Tang Yu groaning for a while, and then said: "Mr. Lian, now the monthly income of the Ministry of Commerce is rising steadily, even if it is to give some dividends to the commander of Ren Chengwei, it doesn't hurt, but not too much, and it must not exceed two percent!" ”

Tang Yu said: "Now the Confucius Mansion of Qufu County has 20% of the shares in our Ministry of Commerce, even if it is 20% of the shares given to the commander of Ren Chengwei, then these two have already occupied 40% of the shares of our Ministry of Commerce, and they must not be higher!" ”

This point, even if Tang Yu doesn't say it, Liu Juntao also understands in his heart that for the business of the Ministry of Commerce, Yushan Town must have an absolute controlling stake!

Liu Zi'an said with some hesitation: "Mr. Lian, in this case, in order to avoid the shares held by our Ministry of Commerce from being too low, wouldn't it be possible to give less shares to the commander of Ren Chengwei?" ”

Liu Juntao shook his head and said, "Who is the commander of the city guard?" It's better not to give than to give less! ”

Tang Yu also agreed, while Hu Dexing was in a low mood, sitting aside and not making any suggestions.

Liu Juntao continued: "Now our Yushan Town and the Xu family in Xuzhou have torn their faces, since the Xu family has the Wolf Mountain garrison as a backer in the Xuzhou territory, then our Yushan Town must also find a backer with an official and military background, and it must also be guarded by the Wolf Mountain with a high rank!" This proposal of the commander of the city guard came at the right time, I thought that I would reply to the Yan Shenggong and agree to the proposal of the commander of the city guard, but the commander of the city guard must invest 500,000 taels of silver, and the shares can only be the same as that of the Yan Shenggong, only 20%! ”

Liu Juntao's words were supported by Tang Yu and Liu Zi'an, and Hu Dexing also nodded in approval, so Liu Juntao asked Tang Yu to immediately write a contract, the content of which was exactly the same as the one signed to the Confucius Mansion in Qufu County.

After that, Liu Juntao checked it and confirmed that it was correct, then handed it to Liu Zi'an, and said: "Give this contract to Yan Shenggong, just say that I have agreed, as long as the commander of the city guard approves the terms of our contract, both parties can sign and draw the pledge!" ”

Liu Zi'an put away the contract and said, "Okay! I personally went to Qufu County. ”

After Liu Zi'an left, Tang Yu also went back to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, and only Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing were left in the house.

"Brother Hu, let's eat at home in the evening, I'll ask Mu Ying to prepare some wine and food, let's have a good drink."

"Good! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”

After speaking, Hu Dexing looked at Liu Juntao with red eyes, his voice seemed to be hoarse, and said, "Juntao, when will we be able to go north to the border pass?" I don't want to deal with heroes like the Xu family and the Chen family anymore, it's boring! ”

Liu Juntao was also stuffy in his heart, and his nose was also a little sour, and said; "It won't be long! Brother Hu, I promise you, this day won't be long! ”
