"Lu Qiu?" Song Zheng was very surprised. Baidu search See the latest chapters// The last time I saw Lu Qiu, it was five years ago when he participated in the Wenju in Licheng. At that time, Lu Qiu was only ten years old, still a little boy, very lively and active.

"Yes, the wife and the little master moved to Jiangning at the beginning of this year." The steward replied.

It turned out that after Lu Dafu came to Jiangning, he was limited to the situation in Jiangning, so he left his family in Licheng. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that a large family came to Jiangning.

Lu Dafu is a businessman, and he very much hopes that there will be a scholar in his family. So, Lu Qiu was arranged to study in a private school.

With the relationship between the Lu family and the Song family, Lu Qiu can worship under Song Jue's door. It's just that although Lu Qiu is smart, he likes to dance with guns and sticks, so his reading is so-so. Lu Dafu is very self-aware, and at the level of his youngest son, it is really not qualified to be a student of Song Jue. Therefore, Lu Dafu invited the famous teacher to strictly teach, in order to enter the door of the Song family again after a small success.

At Lu Qiu's age, how can he be willing to obey control, especially when he comes to a world of flowers like Jiangning. Just a few days ago, Lu Dafu was busy dealing with the affairs of the bank, so Lu Qiu took the opportunity to sneak out of the house to play. Coincidentally, he met a thief who stole a wallet, and under the pursuit, Lu Qiu actually injured the other party.

According to Lu Qiu, the thief named Wang Er was not seriously injured. The strange thing is that not long after Wang Er returned home, he vomited blood and died. His family sued Lu Qiu to the government.

Huang Yue can talk about this matter, and Lu Dafu also said that he would pay a large amount of silver. The family initially accepted 600 taels of silver and promised to close the case on the grounds that Wang Er was suffering from a chronic illness. For some reason, after only one day's work, Wang Er's family returned the silver and insisted on filing a lawsuit to let Lu Qiu die.

This matter made a lot of trouble, and even the Jiangning Mansion couldn't let go, so they could only promise Huang Yue to drag the case for the time being, and ensure that Lu Qiu would not be wronged in prison. and hinted that the best way for the Lu family to dare to do a good job of Wang Er's family is to let Wang Er's family let go.

When this kind of thing happened, Lu Dafu, who was already worried, was even more anxious, and in a hurry, he fell ill in bed. In this way, Lu Chun himself has to take care of his father, and he has to run for his younger brother's affairs.

"Childe, please, save the master!" The steward cried and knelt down again.

Song Zheng closed his eyes and thought hard about how to break the situation. Obviously, this is someone plotting against the Lu family.

After thinking for a long time, Song Zheng said, "Guanchen, you get up first, I have also figured out a clue about this matter, you go back first, and take care of the business and trade affairs with peace of mind." Now that I'm back, I'll leave everything to me, and I'm sure there will be no danger this time. ”

The steward stood up hesitantly, "Childe, what you said is true?" ”

Song Zheng said with a smile, "You and I haven't known each other for a day or two, Uncle Lu is my elder, and the business is our own business, how can I sit idly by." ”

Guan Chen also knew that Song Zheng was resourceful, although he still had some doubts, but he was much more relieved.

instructed the minister not to leak the news of his return, and Song Zheng sent the minister away.

Cai Yong hurriedly said, "Childe, what should I do?" I think they're going to be ruthless. Zu Jie also nodded, after listening to it for so long, he also generally understood the Tao inside.

"Ruthless?" Song Zheng sneered, "I'm afraid he won't be ruthless enough." Since they can do the first year of junior high school, they don't blame me for doing the fifteenth. Originally, I didn't want to set it up so quickly, but now that people have made a move, they don't blame me. ”

Cai Yong and Zu Jie glanced at each other, "Childe, will the plan come out?" ”

Song Zheng smiled, "You also heard just now that Chase Money Bank and Kaibao Money Bank are going to set up a Huilian account, just right, if we operate it properly, we will get rid of these two scourges together." ”

"Huh?" Cai Yong and Zu Jie were taken aback, Datong Money Bank and Kaibao Money Bank accounted for nearly eighty percent of the money bank business in the Great Qi Kingdom, and their wealth was so powerful that they might even say that the rich rival country was light, and Song Zheng actually said that he would remove the two together, which was too incredible. If Song Zheng hadn't said this, another person would have been dismissed as a pipe dream. What's more, the current Lu family is being pursued by the Criminal Department for 280,000 taels of silver.

"Of course, it's too early to tell!" Song Zheng said with a smile, "Right now, there is a big thing for you to do. I'll write a few letters first, and you can take them, and you'll be out early tomorrow morning. ”

Just do it, Cai Yong quickly studied the pen and ink for Song Zheng, Song Zheng spread out the paper and wrote four letters in a row. Two of them were addressed to Li Yongxi and Li Yuanzhen, the other was addressed to Yang Tong, who was still garrisoned in Mizhou, and one was addressed to his aunt and grandmother in his hometown of Songjiazhuang.

Early the next morning, Cai Yong rushed to Songshan with Liu Mao and Yuan Zhang, while Zu Jie led ten personal soldiers to Mizhou.

--------

It has entered the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather in Jiangning is already very hot. However, on the second day of the fifth lunar month, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the breeze was blowing gently.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the green willows are like shade. It is "the morning and twilight rolls, the clouds and clouds, the rain and the wind, and the smoke and waves paint the boat." ”

Located on the north bank of the Qinhuai River in Jiangning City, the Huitong Trading House is still a businessman. The big-bellied gentry, greeting each other at the door, walked into the trading building, leaving a handful of oil umbrellas and wet men outside.

In the trading building, dozens of delicate maids are waiting there. The maids wore red, green, blue, and white clothes, and merchants from different industries were led to different trading halls to check the market and determine the buyers and sellers.

Although the trading building is a place filled with the smell of copper, even the most vulgar businessman will not show his vulgarity here. Not to mention that Huitong Commerce and Trade is a plaque of the holy family, it is just to pick up an inconspicuous couplet, which is a sentence like "business is like spring, and wealth is like a water source", and then look at the writing, it is actually a Confucian master like Wei Buzhou. Famous paintings and calligraphy, elegant furnishings, plus courteous maids and traders, who is embarrassed to shout loudly here?

Shinong businessmen, merchants are considered a lowly class, and vassal elegance has almost become their instinct. And Huitong Commerce and Trade Bank makes mundane things elegant, which can be regarded as conforming to the trend.

The businessmen who are desperately trying to get closer to the cultural class rarely personally direct the porters. If the transaction is made, they will pass the voucher to the housekeeper or the man outside the building, and let them take the voucher to the storehouse in the west of the city to buy and ship. As for the old men, they go to the adjacent Yuxiang Building or Yuhua Building, drink and listen to the opera, and sleep in the willows. Or go to the Qinhuai River in front of the door to charter a painting boat, meet friends and enjoy the scenery, which can be regarded as a joy in life.

The old man has fun, and when he is a housekeeper and a buddy, he has to run errands. Huitong trade is not bad, a long corridor has been built on the bank of the Qinhuai River, which can be used by tourists to rest, and can also be used by traders and pawns to shelter from the wind and rain.

At the west end of the corridor, a young man wore a hat on his head, a short brown coat, and a little mud and sand on his cloth shoes, looking no different from the men around him.

The young man looked at the trading building opposite and muttered, "Fortunately, it seems that the matter of Ruifeng Money Village has not affected here." ”

"Brother, what did you say?" A black-faced young man in his twenties next to him asked. The young man was dressed similarly to Song Zheng, but he was thicker.

Song Zheng smiled, "It's nothing." I see that the business of this business is still really hot! ”

"That's it!" The young man straightened his chest and said, "Don't look at what kind of place this is!" This is the big uncle's business, the door plaque of the holy family! With today's saints and prime ministers behind them, it is difficult not to be popular! ”

Song Zheng arched his hand, "This brother, I came here for the first time with my master, and I want to take the liberty of asking, is it reliable to do business in a commercial and trade house?" ”

"How can it not be reliable!" The young man said proudly, "Doing business here, buying and selling, Tong Su is not bullied, it is convenient and trouble-free." Let's take our old man as an example, he used to resell silk, and he had to go to the guild in Jiangning City, relying on the relationship to go to the door, trying to buy some cheap goods, and worrying that the goods were fake. Even if you get the goods, you still have to worry about exploiting on the road, which is a heartbreak. Now, through the trade house, you don't even need to see the seller's face, you can get the right goods, and you don't have to worry about fake and defective goods. If you can't transport it yourself, you can also entrust the dart bureau of the trading house to escort you. If you have a sign of a commercial trade house here, you don't have to worry about overpaying taxes at the checkpoints on the road. Even if you take a break in the inn halfway, the store also gives face to the business bank. You can make money so steadily, and those of us who are buddies have saved a lot of trouble. ”

"Isn't that a lot of money?"

"It's a little less profitable than tossing it yourself, but it's worry-free." The guy was obviously very talkative, "My lord didn't trust the trade at first, and he didn't plan to buy here until last winter. ”

"Why is that?" Song Zheng asked with interest.

"It's not because we are in the middle of the customs, many carriages and horses have been requisitioned, and the goods can't come in and out. My lord just tried his best to buy a thousand horses of goods from the Xu family silk guild, but he was delayed for nearly two months before the goods were shipped out, and on the way in Xu County, he encountered a faint official who set up a card to collect taxes, saying that it was a war in Daqi, and he wanted to collect 'military expenses', but as a result, not only did he not make any money, but also lost a lot. My lord's friend, Mr. Tan, also makes silk, and he is a merchant who travels goods, and he also hired someone from the Earthquake Wind Dart Bureau to escort him, but the officials at the Xu County checkpoint didn't even dare to let go of the fart, so they let him go. ”

When the young man said this, he was still indignant. There were many people next to him immediately, all of whom said that there are many benefits of buying goods in the trade line, although they earn less, but they save worry and effort, and the risk is small, and the trading is done with peace of mind.

Song Zheng listened for a while, and then had a number in his heart. The development of the trade house is in line with their own expectations, with the expansion of the scale, the most affected are the various guilds, and then the major families, when more and more people buy and ship through the trade line, the major families that were originally in a monopoly position are also restricted.

It is no wonder that these big families have to unite again to fight against the trade industry, and in the long run, the business they rely on will only be production. As we all know, in the circulation of goods, the profit of the production link is the least, especially in this era of underdeveloped transportation, most of the profits are generated from transportation and operation. Blocking people's financial path is forcing people to attack the business and trade industry.

Huitong Trading House has a royal signboard and the support of the Prime Minister's Government, so everyone in Jiangnan has to come up with some bad means to deal with the commercial and trading house. They can't mess up the trade, so they have to get involved and get a piece of the pie.

How can Song Zheng let these Jiangnan people be happy? He is not responsible for turning these Jiangnan families into production workshops, but also preparing to attack the lifeblood ---- land of these Jiangnan families in the future.

The real battle has just begun!
