Chapter 432: Great Qi Palace

Seeing that Xu Mingxuan was quite surprised, Song Zheng smiled and said, "Isn't it okay to write Tang Wan?" ”

Xu Mingxuan suddenly realized, understood, and wrote Tang Wan's name, then he was only a general manager, and he worked for Song Zheng and Tang Wan, even if the development momentum of Huitong Commerce and Trade Bank was good in the future, the Xu family would have no name to deal with him (Hong Huang Yuan Dao txt download).

"Regarding the establishment of a business and trade house in Jinling, you have to communicate with all kinds of dental dealers, presumably Brother Xu has been in Jinling for many years, so this convenience should be easy?"

Xu Mingxuan pondered for a while, "If you want to talk about acquaintance, you also know some, but everyone in different industries can only be regarded as nodding friends." Xiaolang may think about this matter too simply, although our Xu family has a big business, it is not the only family of great wealth. The main industries of the Xu family are silk and grain, and they are not very good at other conveniences. For example, the Gao family, mainly tea and lacquerware; the Tan family, mainly porcelain and wood; The Ji family is mainly a salt farm. ”

"Salt pans?" Song Zheng was taken aback. Since ancient times, salt has always been an official business, and it is the main source of national taxes.

"The procurement and trading of salt works have always been supervised by the imperial court (the latest chapter of the Holy Demon Guide of the Undead). The imperial court taxed official salt and monitored its output. Ordinary people, even if they refine salt themselves, can only use it for their own use, or sell it to the imperial court, and are not allowed to buy and sell it privately. My Great Qi was hostile to Shu, Western Xia, and Jin, and I got very little salt from Yuchang, and I didn't get much salt smuggled in. But my Daqi is east of the sea, from Dengzhou to Yuezhou, and even Mingzhou, there are salt outputs, and there are not a few people who refine private salt. This Ji family not only has three large salt farms in Dengzhou, Yanzhou and Yuezhou, but also controls more than 40% of the illegal salt trade along the Daqi coast. ”

Song Zheng nodded, he didn't know much about these before, but when he heard Xu Mingxuan say it today, he suddenly became enlightened. "What is the origin of this Ji family?"

"Xiao Lang, think about it, there are still a few people with the surname Ji in the dynasty."

Song Zheng smiled dumbly. The household department Shangshu Ji who took care of the money bag for Huang Yuandu didn't know how much silver he could toss out of this salt. It's a pity that he has lost the country and fattened his own. The border army of Daqi is not well paid, and even people like Qiao Zhenchuan turn a blind eye to smuggling, in exchange for some wealth, which shows how poor they are.

Song Zheng asked Xu Mingxuan about the situation of the major industries in the capital again, and basically had a plan in his heart. Of course, these are far from enough, so Song Zheng told Xu Mingxuan that in addition to focusing on finding two pieces of land, he also had to explore more information about various industries and understand the market.

Regarding the specific operation of the trading bank, Song Zheng explained to Xu Mingxuan on the way to Jinling, and Xu Mingxuan also knew the importance of information to the trading bank. However, he still asked uneasily, "Xiaolang, that Huang Yue is a well-known man in Jinling, although everyone is afraid of him on the surface, but they look down on him in their hearts, and people dare not speak out." When we open a trading house, we must attract some merchants to settle in first, and if Huang Yue comes forward, I am afraid it will not last long. ”

Song Zheng knew what Xu Mingxuan was worried about, "This Mingxuan can rest assured, looking for Huang Yue, but let him deal with the official affairs, and the specific operation is still up to you." If you encounter something that can't be solved, and you don't want to deal with Huang Yue, leave it to me, and I will come forward to find Huang Yue. Or prepare some additional segments. In addition, a noble son like Zhu Youzhan should also be more wooed. You can send some dry shares, but the number should not be too much, all of them should not add up, not more than ten percent, and they are allowed to buy and sell each other and transfer them. After all, no one's official will necessarily last long. ”

Xiao Lang is thinking about it very much (read the full text of the illusion fairyland). The only thing I'm worried about now is that we're not going to be able to settle those businesses. At first, they may give face and buy or two in the trade house, but soon they will be transferred to the Chamber of Commerce. After all, once the trade house was established, there was no need for those chamber of commerce to exist. These guys are deeply rooted, if they work together to stop us, I'm afraid that Huang Yue won't be able to withstand it. ”

Song Zheng said with a smile, "If you don't worry about success, you will lose first." I'm glad Ming Xuan can be so careful. However, caution is caution, and faith is faith. Huang Yue can't stand it, there is always someone who can stand it. You can rest assured. ”

Xu Mingxuan looked at Song Zheng curiously, "I really don't know, where does Xiaolang's confidence come from?" ”

Song Zheng naturally wouldn't tell him the reason. As long as it is the home of the merchants, it is estimated that no ass is clean. Those people are not afraid of officialdom on the surface, but they are afraid of secret agencies like the Imperial City Division. As long as you put your mind to it, you can always find out something about them. If there are really people who can't open their eyes, Song Zheng doesn't mind relying on the Imperial City Division to give them a little means.

The two have been talking for a long time, and it has been a long time, but neither of them has any intention of falling asleep. On the contrary, the conversation became more intense. Of the 170,000 taels of silver that Xu Mingxuan took out, Song Zheng didn't keep a penny, and handed them all back. The launch of Jinling Commercial and Trade Bank is naturally much larger than that of Licheng, and there are many places that need to be touched, which cannot be done with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

During the chat, Song Zheng suddenly remembered something, "Mingxuan, how is the person I asked Erhei to take care of you?" ”

Xu Mingxuan patted his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Look at my brain, I've only been happy these days, and I almost forgot about this stubble." As he spoke, Xu Mingxuan took out an envelope from his arms, "After you asked Erhei to find me that day, I arranged a courtyard for the man to recuperate, and I also invited two old mothers." The man was really strong, recovered quickly, and was able to go down to the ground the day before yesterday. However, it will take half a month to be completely good. However, when I asked Ah Rong to pass this morning, the gentleman was gone, and the two old mothers were also confused and did not know anything. Leave this letter on the table, and I will bring it to you. Xiaolang, I'm really sorry, I didn't do anything good for you. ”

Song Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Didn't Erhei tell you?" The man can go whenever he wants, and leave him alone (electronic fairy txt download). Mingxuan didn't have to worry too much about this. Song Zheng opened the letter as he spoke.

The letter was written in a messy manner, written in Chinese characters, with Tangut characters in between. Song Zheng smiled secretly, Li Yuanzhen spoke Chinese well, but he wrote it very poorly, and some Chinese characters could not be written, so he had to use Xixia characters instead. Fortunately, in the days when Song Zheng and Li Yongxi stayed together, they also learned some Western Xia characters, and they barely recognized a few. The meaning of this letter is also clear.

Li Yuanzhen basically means that he was injured this time and was treated by Song Zheng, which can be regarded as owing Song Zheng a favor. But when he recovers from his injuries, he still has to think of ways to catch Song Zheng in Western Xia. The letter also said that Song Zheng was a martial champion and the commander of a thousand households in the forbidden army, and if he returned to Western Xia with him, he would also be given a general. And it is definitely more important than in Daqi.

Song Zheng couldn't help but laugh after reading it, this Li Yuanzhen actually wanted to dig his corner. However, he paid close attention to Li Yongxi.

Speaking of which, Song Zheng was quite helpless and a little self-blaming. Li Yuanzhen killed the people of the Imperial City Division, killed the Yahuan Xiaoping next to Li Hongniang, and seriously injured Li Hongniang and Yingji, Song Zheng said that Li Yuanzhen's life should be left behind. But out of guilt for Li Yongxi, Song Zheng had to spare Li Yuanzhen's life.

It's really confusing! Now that Li Yuanzhen is gone, Song Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, seeing that it was about to reach the fifth watch, Song Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. It's time to report to the Imperial City Division.

arranged for Xu Mingxuan to rest, and asked Erhei to notify Ding Long and others to come over. After the martial arts competition, Song Zheng was ordered by the emperor to allow twenty sergeants to be summoned from the city guards, and Song Zheng left Ding Long, Qin Yi, Cai Sheng and others behind.

According to the requirements, these twenty city guards, after accompanying Song Zheng to the forbidden army to report, will return to the city guards. However, after Song Zheng instructed them, he directly let them go back.

For these people, Song Zheng has other plans. He is already the commander of the thousand households of the forbidden army, and he is still a teacher in the palace, and the expansion of the Song Mansion is also a matter of time, or it may be possible to change another house. In any case, the Song Mansion needs to add some domestic servants (the Tang Confucianism will read the full text). Buying some small guys from the outside, Song Zheng is not at ease, the situation in Jinling will become more and more complicated in the future, and he can't completely avoid it, and the Song Mansion urgently needs some armed self-defense. Ding Long, Cai Yong and others have been surrendered by Song Zheng, and after the martial arts competition, Song Zheng also felt at ease with them, and naturally became the best candidates for Song Zheng's recruitment.

Although these twenty people are fierce soldiers in the army, they are the lowest people after all, even if they can be a military commander or even a commander in the future, without a tough backstage, it is difficult to be a hundred households, let alone a general. In the future, the only way to quit the army is to either go home to farm, or work as a nursing home for a large family. Since Song Zheng gave them a way out, how could they be unwilling, and they expressed their willingness to serve Song Zheng.

Out of the Wind Bamboo Garden, Song Zheng headed southwest. Due to the southward expansion of Jinling City, the vicinity of Yuhuatai, where the Song Mansion is located, has become the northern part of Jinling City. The imperial city was built on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.

It's been three days since the Great Qi Wubi was compared, and the craze caused by it has begun to recede. The New Year is coming soon, and people are preparing to welcome the New Year, so the attention to the martial champion order has faded. Wu Zhuangyuan is different from Wen Zhuangyuan, there is no need to praise officials on the streets, and the influence is naturally not as great as Wenju. After all, for most ordinary people, studying and doing lawsuits is the right thing to do. Therefore, Song Zheng traveled all the way south, although he met a lot of early risers, but no one talked about Wu Zhuangyuan anymore.

Now, only in the bookstore, the story of this martial arts competition is still being told. "Daqi Wukui Song Xiaolang" will definitely go all the way to the end of the year. This thing is a gust of wind. As the capital of Daqi, under the roots of the imperial city, there are many things worthy of the attention of the people. The biennial martial arts competition is just one of them. People only know that the champion of this martial arts competition is called Song Xiaolang, who is less than 16 years old, and that's it.

In the distance, Miyagi is in sight.

The palace city of Daqi, its general style, is similar to the palace city of the Jin and Southern Dynasties. At that time, the name of Jinling City was "Jiankang". However, Miyagi is much larger in size and size. The palace wall has three layers inside and outside, the first and second palace walls, which can be called the outer city, and the third palace wall, which is considered the inner city.

Within the outer walls of the palace, the general institutions and garrisons in the palace are arranged. The use of the palace, internal affairs, etc., are all here, and the Imperial City Division, that is, the forbidden army, is also here.
