Chapter 595: Buying Manpower (Part 1)

Shen Xi took this opportunity to take back the operation rights of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce in the capital, except that he felt that he now had a certain ability to provide power shelter for the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time he could use the power of the Chamber of Commerce to help him do many things, mainly to completely put an end to Zhou Fatzi's misdeeds.

Zhou Fatzi obviously didn't want to give up the qualifications of the household to transport grain, with a look of grievance on his face, and said: "The grass people work hard for the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the silver money they get does not dare to hide it privately, all of it is used to make joints, and part of it is transferred to the silver number of the Chamber of Commerce, how can Lord Shen be so ruthless?" ”

Shen Xi said: "Zhou Dangjia is up and down, for yourself and not the Chamber of Commerce, but it is Zhou Dangjia who took smuggling, which almost caused the Chamber of Commerce to suffer injustice, and also brought me a certain risk." In the future, everyone's well water will not interfere with river water, for your good, it is also for the sake of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, even if Zhou Dangjia continues to transport goods for the imperial court, he will no longer have anything to do with the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce. You take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge. ”

Zhou Fatzi thought to himself: "If I don't have the name of Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, where can I get the qualification to transport grain for the household department?" How can I be blessed with the inheritances in my name? ”

"It's fine."

Zhou Fatzi judged the situation and immediately agreed, "From then on, the grass people's industry will be listed in the name of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and if Lord Shen and the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce have any sends, just give orders." ”

Fat Zhou had his wishful thinking in his heart.

You are an official, you must not put your mind on business, the chamber of commerce industry is now mostly concentrated in Fujian, Jiangxi and other places, it is impossible for the chamber of commerce to put down the foundation and go north. In this way, the mountains and rivers are far beyond the reach of the whip, and even if I do what you say, I will just change my face and continue to make a living.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Zhou Dangjia agreed so easily, I don't know how sincere it is?" ”

Zhou Fatzi hurriedly pleaded: "Where do the grass people dare to deceive Lord Shen? In the future, even if you want to sell the grass people's property and use it as another way, the grass people will obey their orders. ”

How could Shen Xi not see through what Zhou Fatzi thought, he said: "That being the case, in the future, the branch of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce in the capital will be handed over to Song Xiaocheng and Song Dangjia to be responsible for big and small things, and Zhou Dangjia can have any objections?" ”

Fat Zhou looked at Song Xiaocheng with disdain...... Which green onion is this hairy boy? But it's a little brute, I heard that someone has been killed, and someone is in a lawsuit. But the ruthless characters under my hands are all over the place, how can I be afraid of him?

Zhou Fatzi said: "Lord Shen wants Song to be in charge of the house, and the grass people have no objection, but ...... I'm afraid that the people under my hands are not very easy to mobilize, and if the Song family has any trouble because of this, it will not be good. ”

Song Xiaocheng said proudly: "This is not a busy Zhou master, the people under your hands have a good relationship with me......"

Saying that, Song Xiaocheng beckoned the two of them from the dock, and when they arrived, Zhou Fatzi's face was completely gray...... These two are his right-hand men, and they are the brothers who followed him from birth to death, one is named Han Jing and the other is called Lu Fengsi. He always felt that these two subordinates obeyed him, but for some reason, they now quietly took refuge in Song Xiaocheng.

"Boss, this ...... Song Dang's family has Lord Shen as a support, we are a small people, after thinking about it, we still follow Song Dang's family, don't be surprised. Han Jing was relatively timid, and explained the reason for his submission to Song Xiaocheng as having the background of Shen Xi as an official.

As for Lu Fengsi, his face was calm, without any explanation, but his eyes were full of reverence when he looked at Shen Xi, and Zhou Fatzi knew that Lu Fengsi was also afraid of Shen Xi before he would sell himself to take refuge.

Fat Zhou's face was blue and red, and he couldn't even rely on two brothers in life and death, let alone others. Without these capable people, then he is a nominal family, even if the shops and warehouses are his? If the fists are not hard, the speech will not be loud, and everything in the future can only be arranged by Song Xiaocheng.

Shen Xi said: "It's okay if Boss Zhou repents, but it's hard to say how many of your people are willing to follow you." Song Dangjia entered Beijing this time, brought enough silver, and now that there are enough people, they can start anew, and when the time comes, don't say that you don't take care of each other. ”

After this incident, Zhou Fatzi knew that the officials were all in front of him and behind his back, Shen Xi looked very talkative, but he was the one who could make Jiang Liwei, a big official of Jinyiwei, disgraced, how could he be a soft character?

"How shall the money be distributed?" Zhou Fatzi naturally cares about the distribution of benefits.

Shen Xi said: "Fifty-fifty!" ”

When Fat Zhou heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Is it too difficult for Lord Shen to be like this?" ”

Shen Xi's tone was leisurely: "Zhou Dangjia's own warehouses and shops, we don't touch anything, we only take the benefits we deserve, why not?" If Zhou Dangjia refuses to cooperate, I don't know how much he can share? ”

Zhou Fatzi thought about it, there is still fifty percent to cooperate, and if he doesn't cooperate, even one percent is gone, and the people under his hands have run away with Song Xiaocheng, and this head has offended Shen Xi and Jiang Liwei at the same time, and it is difficult to say whether he can gain a foothold in the capital in the future.

If you want to keep the industry, you only have to cooperate with Shen Xi.

Forced to be helpless, Fat Zhou could only agree: "Everything will be done according to what Lord Shen said." ”

……

……

Shen Xi had been waiting for all the grain to be loaded at the Paozihe wharf, and watched the fleet leave the city from Shuiguan before leaving with Song Xiaocheng.

Song Xiaocheng kept telling about the situation of winning over the people around Zhou Fatzi during this time.

When Shen Xi returned to Quanzhou, Song Xiaocheng began to work in Tingzhou, on the one hand, to raise funds, on the other hand, to recruit manpower, and when Shen Xi left Quanzhou for Nanjing, he also set out from Tingzhou.

This time, there are seventy or eighty people in the gang brought by Song Xiaocheng to the capital, and the capital will be used as another base of the chariot and horse gang in the future, and Song Xiaocheng, the big boss, is no longer just a figure who fights and kills on the rivers and lakes, but a gang leader with an official background and manpower, officially replacing the position of the former Zhou Fatzi.

“…… Or what the adults said makes sense, the surname Zhou is a person who picks the door, at the end of last year before leaving I had a good relationship with the people under him, this time he said that he wanted to set up another mountain, they all took refuge in our side, with this group of people, the situation will be better in the future! ”

Regarding Zhou Fatzi's slamming of the door, Shen Xi met Zhou Fatzi for the first time, and he heard others talk about it when he didn't know his identity. Zhou Fatzi is a typical villain, who uses all his money to buy properties and collect beauties, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, in order to curry favor with officials, but he is very mean to his subordinates.

Maybe Zhou Fatzi thinks that at present, he has a huge power, a prosperous business, and an official background, and none of those people under him dare to oppose him, he just needs to guard against the officials. In the end, his prediction came true, the official was indeed calculating him, first Jiang Liwei, and then Shen Xi, but Jiang Liwei was more rude and direct, without Shen Xi's bloodless blade, Shen Xi now not only wants to rob Zhou Fatzi's business, but also rob his manpower and territory.

Shen Xi reminded: "Shuntian Mansion and Daxing and Wanping County Offices, remember to do a good job." ”

Song Xiaocheng nodded and said, "I understand, the silver has been sent, and even the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have filial piety." Anyway, what we are doing is an errand to help the imperial court transport grain, but all the official government yamen will not be too embarrassed, but now that the city is under martial law, it is inconvenient to go anywhere. ”

Shen Xi said: "Now that the weather is hot, it is impossible for the Tartars to loot in Beiguan for a long time, and it is expected that in a few days, the city will return to normal...... Remember to do things neatly, even if it is a life lawsuit, you must not let your subordinates get bloody. Don't forget! ”

As an emerging force in the capital, the Che Ma Gang not only has to wrestle with Zhou Fatzi, but also to prevent others from grabbing the territory, and it is inevitable to fight.

The forces in the capital are even more complicated than those in Fuzhou City, and now the Carriage and Horse Gang has not yet integrated the forces in Fuzhou City, and it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the capital.

But fortunately, Zhou Fatzi has laid a good foundation, Song Xiaocheng has been honed in the Carriage and Horse Gang, and now he has brought a lot of right-hand men down, as well as the convenience of transporting grain from the household and the support of the government.

Song Xiaocheng did not accompany Shen Xi home, because there are roadblocks on each street, and it is easy to go back with Shen Xi, and when he comes out, he must have a guide or a document, and the document he received in Shuntian Mansion can only come and go freely during the day in the Chongwen Gate in the south of the city, and now he lives near the grassland of Zhizhifang.

Shen Xi asked Song Xiaocheng to hurry up and gather Zhou Fatzi's manpower...... After Zhou Fatzi loses power, he will definitely fight back, and he must first break Zhou Fatzi's thoughts.

……

……

Back at Jiaozhongfang's home, Xie Yun'er hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was staying up all night waiting for him. Lin Dai didn't have as much patience as Xie Yun'er, and after eating dinner for a long time, Shen Xi didn't return home, and then went back to the room to sleep.

Shen Xi went to Xie Yun'er's room, Xie Yun'er personally brought water in to wash Shen Xi, Shen Xi felt tired for a while, and he didn't even want to eat dinner, so he wanted to go to bed early.

"What kind of business does Xianggong need to be busy until so late?"

If it were an ordinary woman, her husband would definitely suspect that her husband was having an affair when he returned late, but Xie Yun'er trusted Shen Xi very much, because she knew that her father-in-law was the kind of person who was upright and upright, and the two wives in the family made him tired of coping, and he didn't have more ideas.

Shen Xi said: "It's a matter of the Chamber of Commerce, the sixth brother arrived in the capital a few days ago, and he is doing things according to my instructions." Due to martial law in the city, he was not allowed to come. He also came with his six sisters-in-law and children, this time to the capital, to live for a long time, it will not be long before the Chamber of Commerce branch will open to the capital. ”

Xie Yun'er thought about it with her head and asked, "Why didn't you hear Xianggong talk about it when you were in Tingzhou?" ”

Shen Xi smiled: "Although you are a virtuous helper for your husband, you don't have to tell you everything, right?" In fact, I just said hello to Aunt Sun about this, and you know that Aunt Sun has been avoiding me. I plan to slowly expand the chamber of commerce to Jiangbei in the future, after all, Fujian is too remote and the development limits are too great. ”

Shen Xi was exhausted, came to the bedside, closed his clothes and lay down, closed his eyes and wanted to sleep, Xie Yun'er came over to help him take off his boots, and helped him untie his clothes, taking care of him very considerate and thoughtful.

Shen Xi opened his eyes and looked at Xie Yun'er's gentle and meticulous appearance, he couldn't help but smile, he wanted to say a few words of love but he was really not energetic, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When the sun was up, Shen Xi was woken up by Xie Yun'er and told that some guests had been waiting for Shen Xi in the front hall for some time.

"Some of them should have been here before, but I don't remember where I saw them." Xie Yun'er frowned and thought about it, as if she felt that the person who came to give her a strange feeling, after her description like this, Shen Xi knew that it was a jade girl dressed in men's clothes.

Shen Xi put on his clothes under Xie Yun'er's service, and when he arrived at the living room in the front yard, Yu Niang came up and apologized to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi asked a little strangely: "Yesterday's incident, Yu Niang helped a lot, what is the crime?" ”

"It is the slave family's fault that the slave family failed to communicate with Liu Shangshu in time and couldn't stop it before Lord Jiang made a move." Yu Niang's face was ashamed, "However, Liu Shangshu has severely reprimanded Lord Jiang yesterday, and Lord Jiang is not allowed to get involved in matters related to Lord Shen and the Chamber of Commerce, so Lord Shen can rest assured about this." ”

The grudge will be settled sooner or later, how can it be so easy to let go?

Shen Xi said: "What else does Liu Shangshu command?" ”

In order to confess, Yu Niang will not come over on purpose, unless Liu Daxia has something to explain.

Yu Niang said: "Liu Shangshu's meaning is to recommend to the imperial court and let Lord Shen take an errand from the household department and go to Xuanfu." ”
