"Xiaolang, why did you come back so soon?" Huang Yue and Xu Mingxuan hurriedly rushed into the Song Mansion (the King of the Otherworldly Dan).

"Eldest prince, Mingxuan, why are you here?" Song Zheng said in his heart, saying that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, and as soon as he talked about Huang Yue on his side, he broke in.

"I made an appointment with the eldest prince to go to the guild today to celebrate your achievements when you finish the exam. I didn't think you came out early, and we rushed over from the courtyard again. Xu Mingxuan explained with a smile.

"You?" Song Zheng saw Xu Mingxuan's face full of smiles, and couldn't help but point between him and Huang Yue. He knew the grievances of these two people, because of Tang Wan's matter, Xu Mingxuan and Huang Yue had a pimple in their hearts, although they cooperated in business and trade, they had never been so harmonious as today.

Huang Yue smiled and patted Xu Mingxuan's shoulder, "Xiaolang, Mingxuan is going to be the groom's official recently, and it is the time when the spring breeze is proud." ”

"Huh? Mingxuan, you are not interesting enough, I don't know my brother about such a big thing, I am so ready to order a congratulatory ceremony. ”

Xu Mingxuan was a little embarrassed, but he still explained. It turned out that Xu Mingxuan was infatuated with Tang Wan and often went to the nunnery to visit. Tang Wanyuan has long had affection for Xu Mingxuan, as Xu Mingxuan continued to beg hard, plus Xu Mingxuan made silver in the nunnery, and the abbot of the nunnery also told Tang Wan that the dust was not finished, so Tang Wan was quite interested.

Regarding Tang Wan's matter, Song Zheng once told Huang Yue, and Huang Yue was also very atmospheric, saying that he would personally invite Tang Wan out of the nunnery. It's just that Xu Mingxuan thinks that the time is not yet ripe, and he has not let Huang Yue go.

Until ten days ago, when the time was ripe, Xu Mingxuan invited Huang Yue to go to the nunnery in person, and Huang Yue apologized in front of Tang Wan. Tang Wancai finally nodded and agreed to return the custom, Xu Mingxuan was overjoyed and took it to his private house. A pair of beautiful people, and finally came together.

Xu Mingxuan originally wanted to invite Huang Yue and Song Zheng and other brothers to drink, but Song Zheng was busy with the scientific examination, so he postponed the matter, and it was not too late to eat and drink after Song Zheng finished the exam.

Song Zheng laughed after hearing this, "Mingxuan, in this way, it is my brother who delayed you to enter the cave room, and it is a sin." ”

"It's (the king of the left side)!" Huang Yue interjected, "This time, you must give a big share to make up for Ming Xuan's loss." ”

"No problem! Let's go, Mingxuan, go to your house and drink. By the way, Hou Zhonglian is also in Jiangning, did you call him? ”

Xu Mingxuan shook his head gently, "I'll talk about it later, let's talk together today." I'll wait for the trial release list and then invite him to drink. ”

Song Zheng and Huang Yue knew that everyone had something to discuss, so they nodded, and beckoned Xiaobei, Lu Chun, Shi Cunbao and a few others, and hugged out of the Song Mansion together.

Xu Mingxuan's private residence is not far from the Qinhuai River. Song Zheng was also here for the first time, and he couldn't help but look at this courtyard carefully. The courtyard is not big, two in and two out, a little smaller than the Song Mansion. The grounds are full of flowers and trees, and it is very quiet.

"Mingxuan, this place is good. It is secluded and close to the Qinhuai River. When you are upset, you can swim in the river to see the scenery. It's a quiet place in the middle of the city, and there's a different world. ”

"This is what I put in Jiangning back then, and I also think it's good, it's only a mile away from the river, and the hustle and bustle on both sides of the river can't be transmitted here. The key is that it is close to the business and trade line, and it is not far from Yuhualou Yuxianglou. On the other side, there is the house of Jiang Dashan. With their big yard in front of us, we were very quiet here. ”

Song Zheng's heart moved, the business house and Yuxiang Mansion were just that, Jiang Yuan's house was the place where Jiang Kui, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, stayed, I really didn't expect Xu Mingxuan's house to rely on the Jiang family, which was good news.

Tang Wan is a standard Jiangnan woman, with a graceful figure, fair skin, and a faint scar on her face. Maybe it's been in the nunnery for a long time, and there is a faint smell of dust.

After some celebration, Tang Wan took the initiative to leave, leaving only the brothers to continue drinking, and Song Zheng naturally asked about the Ji family.

"Hmph, Ji uses that old fox to ask someone to take a stake in the trading house. I said let them show some sincerity first, and then talk about it. No, they increased the original supply from one-tenth to one-fifth, and they were stingy. "Huang Yue is still very dissatisfied with the Ji family.

Song Zheng said in a deep voice, "This matter is very strange, it turns out that we didn't have the idea of letting the major families take a stake in the trading house, in order to reduce resistance, but none of these guys agree (the ability plane). Why are you waking up again? ”

"Ji Yong used despicable means last time to sabotage our business and trade house, but he didn't succeed, so this time he changed his way and wanted to control the trade bank, but he still didn't have any good intentions."

"Is there any news from the other big families?"

Xu Mingxuan said, "Xu Mingsu also informed me and said that he was willing to pay to help us build a branch in Mingzhou." also said that they are all brothers of the Xu family, and they are united in the same spirit, and they want to seek development together. I didn't directly refuse, I just said that I would talk about it after discussing it with the eldest prince. So, I want to wait for you to finish the exam and let you have an idea. ”

"Oh, I remember that too. Zhu Youzhan and Zhu Gongzi also went to the Song Mansion and said that he had something to discuss with Xiaolang, is the Dong family also going to make a move? Lu Chun replied, "Dabao has been in the house for a while, and I listened to him." ”

"Well, that guy Zhu Youzhan has been here, and he also asked me if the shopkeeper Lu of the trading house is a friend of Brother Zheng. However, what does he have to do with the Dong family? ”

Lu Chun pulled him aside and briefly introduced him to the relationship between the Jiangnan family and high-ranking officials.

"Yo, what kind of fame is this?" Huang Yue patted his head.

Song Zheng sneered, "No matter what the hall is, they want to become infamous!" ”

"How?"

Song Zheng leaned back in his chair, "I think the reason why they turned is because, after more than half a year of operation of the trading house, they must have found the benefits, which are much simpler than their respective distribution, and at the same time make a lot of money." Do you think, as soon as they transport things to the trade house, as soon as the sign is hung, some merchants take the initiative to inquire and buy, and they don't have to take care of the rest, won't they save them a lot of things? Although Ji Yong saw the benefits and disadvantages of the business bank, he couldn't stop these demands. That's why they came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, backhand control of the business house (and the latest chapter in the married life of the big star). ”

"That's right!" Huang Yue slapped his thigh and said, "Last time, they used the dark eagle to break the blood flow in the trading house, and the saint was furious and cut off the heads of Zhang Erstick and others. They didn't dare to make small moves directly, so they came here again. Hmph, now you want to pay for it, it's too late? I don't want to serve you. ”

"Don't, how can you not have money to send to your door?" Song Zheng said with a smile: "Since we want to do a semicolon across the country, we can't do without the support of these big families." It's just that we have to change the way, and we can't follow their methods. ”

"Xiaolang, what do you say?"

"We can subcontract the local branches and allow them to borrow the name of our trading house, but our trading house will send someone to supervise it, and we will still control it."

"Will they be willing? They took the money and built a semicolon, but they said it didn't count, so didn't they suffer a big loss? Not only Huang Yue, but even Xu Mingxuan, Xiaobei and Lu Chun felt incredible.

"Just because you're unwilling now doesn't mean you're unwilling in the future." Song Zheng snorted coldly.

Lu Chun and Xiaobei were shocked, glanced at each other, and lowered their heads.

"Xiaolang, how is your affair?" Huang Yue asked in a low voice.

"What's the matter? I don't know anything. Song Zheng laughed, the corners of his mouth curled, but Xu Mingxuan and Huang Yue had a cool breath behind their backs.

After a while, Huang Yue said, "Xiaolang, what do you say you should talk about?" Is it still like last time, gather the managers of these major families and put them forward directly? ”

Song Zheng nodded, "Wait for two days first, and then see what the other families are doing." If there are still people who say that they will take a stake in the trading house, it will be like last time, and the eldest prince will come forward and gather the stewards of these big families. However, before that, the eldest prince has one more thing to do. ”

"What's the matter, Xiaolang, you say."

"There are two difficulties in opening up commercial and trade banks all over Daqi, one is the lack of capital, and the other is the limited local power, especially the limited support of local businessmen (the getaway of rebirth in another world). And these two difficulties are the advantages of the big family. So, what we need to do is to try to make up for these two shortcomings. ”

"How can you make up for it?" Everyone looked interested.

"Let's talk about the cost first, we can find a way on the Bao family's side. The eldest prince can discuss with Xiangye, and then find your maternal uncle Bao Zhiqing, and agree that the commercial and trade bank will borrow 800,000 taels of silver for the preparation of local branches. ”

"No, Xiaolang? Not to mention that Bao Zhiqing may not talk about it, even if it is, it will be a lion's mouth, and he may directly ask to take over the control of the trading bank. Huang Yue hesitated.

Song Zheng said with a smile, "Our purpose is not to ask the Bao family to agree, but to let the news out." ”

Huang Yue suddenly realized, "What does Xiao Lang mean is that we are using this to put pressure on the major families?" ”

Song Zheng nodded, "Didn't they bully us that we didn't have the money to open a semicolon on a large scale?" Let's first shout out about borrowing money from the Bao family and tell them that we can't raise money. ”

"Xiao Lang's plan is very good! I went back and went to discuss this matter with Old Man Bao. ”

"Well, these are all superficial things. I estimate that as soon as you discuss with the Bao family, those big families will unite and put pressure on the Bao family, and there will be some intrigue behind it. As for us, it's just that the eldest son went to Bao's house to sing and sing. ”

"Hey, I'm the best fan of acting." Huang Yue was overjoyed.

"Don't mess it up." Song Zheng admonished, and then said, "It's not enough to have the Bao family, we also have to take action against our second disadvantage." ”

"Xiao Lang, say it quickly!" Huang Yue's eyes lit up, and Xu Mingxuan, Xiaobei and others also showed excitement.

"Eldest prince, with your ability, it's not difficult to find a fifth- or sixth-grade official in the household department?"

"This is not difficult, not to mention the eldest son, I can also find it (read the full text of Wei's Fengyun)." Xu Mingxuan interjected.

"Okay, you can ask him to play a fold. First, the role of the commercial and trading houses was exaggerated, and then it was suggested that the official should come forward to help the commercial and trading houses establish branches in various places, and even use this as a standard for local officials to inspect. ”

"Huh? By the imperial court? Will that work? Xu Mingxuan said in surprise.

"No, no, this is actually a false shot. Naturally, it was impossible for the imperial court to agree to such a suggestion. However, don't forget, our business and trade house is 'built', which has the color of the imperial court. In addition, regarding the various situations of the trading house, the Holy One is also keeping an eye on it. I think that once this is a fold, the Holy One will also consider it when approving it. Anyway, as soon as the news spreads, what do you think those big families will think? ”

"Needless to say, the local advantages that the big families rely on will definitely be weak." Shi Cunbao rarely understood.

Huang Yue was even happier, "Xiaolang, as soon as these two strategies of yours came out, our two disadvantages were immediately reversed. When the time comes to negotiate with the big family, I'm afraid they won't be as arrogant as last time. ”

Xu Mingxuan frowned and said, "I'm afraid that they will be forced to rush, and they will set up another trading house, or call it a trading house or something." Isn't that a bad thing? ”

"That's right! We don't feel good if we push them into a hurry. Huang Yue looked at Song Zheng again.

"Then you underestimate our word 'Ejian'! Do they dare to casually open another business house to fight with us? Song Zheng said coldly, "Therefore, the best way for them is to invest in the trading bank." They may not agree for a while, but within a month, they will obediently accept our terms! If they don't want to be uprooted. ”

Song Zheng's words were murderous, but the rest of the people present were chilled when they heard it. ~
