The Lin family is a first-class wealthy family in Yangzhou, generations of salt merchants, accumulated huge wealth, and successively raised a group of children to join the officialdom. It stands to reason that it should be a serious way to take the heirloom of poetry and books, but there are always some strange birds when the family is big.

Lin Zongze, who went north to Qingzhou, was the one who flew relatively fast.

Because of the relationship between the Zhanguo Mansion in Qingzhou, Lin Zongze's first battle in the north this time was Qingzhou, of course, due to some old things, the Zhanguo Duke did not see him, only the prince Song Duanyou saw it a few times, and it was not close.

Song Qingming left the Guogong Mansion and went straight to the Lin family's villa in Qingzhou, Lin Zongze was not a complete manager here, but one of his elders was responsible for the operation of all affairs in Qingzhou.

After the Lin family entered Qingzhou, they chose the Qi family as the object of cooperation, and a group of Qingzhou gentry were recruited from the Qi family to take what they needed.

After a subversion, the Qingzhou market has regained calm very quickly, and the momentum of the new alliance led by Chen Ji once surpassed the original business of the Shi clan, which is dominated by the factor of people's hearts.

Chen Ji probably adopted a so-called "group for warmth, win-win cooperation" method, and the opponent directly started a annexation. After that disaster, Chen Ji personally visited many small businesses, painfully stated the benefits and disadvantages, and explained in detail a lot of things that could not be done under the original disaster, which was to win people's hearts and give benefits, and then nearly a year of stability, and now it is the first-class force in Qingzhou shopping mall. The focus also began to move outward, grabbing around.

Among them, the affairs of Dengzhou were personally handled by the proprietor Chen Ji. In Qingzhou, Chen Ji's business has also been streamlined several times, and a lot of "color heads" have been ceded.

In the Qingzhou market, which has gradually stabilized, Chen Ji has gradually withdrawn from everyone's sight, which means a bit of "making a fortune out of silence". At the latest Tan Kee development meeting, it has been decided that the center of gravity will begin to spread to the periphery. To complete a wave of primitive capital accumulation in a short period of time, it is necessary to start some industries that have already been monopolized, and now they are actually beginning to make some preparations.

Chen Kee's decision to build another building in Cheung Lok Fang was probably due to an earlier incident in the owner behind the scenes. The Qingzhou government sent the case to Yidu County, and now it has been investigating for half a month, but the result is only to take out a few small gangs that have been entrenched for a long time by taking advantage of the east wind. The news that was fed back to the Chen family was just "full investigation". Chen Ji is good-tempered, and Yidu County has also begun to delay the feedback time again and again.

In March, Chen Ji was almost recuperated from his injuries, and one day he walked through the Changlefang construction site, and called a few shopkeepers to say some private words in the evening.

Regarding this round of assassinations suffered by Chen Ji in Qingzhou, several big shopkeepers were worried for a while, and in the current situation, Chen Ji is the backbone, and nothing can happen. Although Chen Ji has actually separated from him, of course, there is still a big difference between this and whether he is or not. At present, Chen Ji, there are no people who can grasp the overall situation among the several big shopkeepers, and he still needs to be in the middle of the dispatch.

The big shopkeeper Lu Yi first made a report, roughly outlining the progress of the current work, Chen Ji picked up some and asked, there was no extra arrangement. The monthly meeting is now the end of the theme. Chen Ji arranged time to organize everyone to hold a celebration in Qingxiu Mountain.

After that, Lu Yi was left behind, and the other shopkeepers dispersed first.

"Whether it's the Qi family or the Lin family behind it, to get to this point today, the two sides will inevitably not be good. Shopkeeper Lu should still be a little prepared. Chen Ji poured tea for Lu Yi and sat back in his seat, "I originally thought that even if everyone had the same affection as they did at the beginning, it would be understandable to make concessions on some things." Now it seems that I can't do it. ”

Lu Yi paused and did not answer.

"Qingxiu Mountain can be handed over to Tang Wang as appropriate, and with Elder Yang in charge, it is not a big problem. Since the newspaper business has a stake in the Qingzhou government, we can also retreat into the background as appropriate. As for others, such as cloth shops and restaurants, they can be taken out to fight in the ring. ”

Lu Yi was a little puzzled.

Chen Ji went on to say: "Roughly starting in the second half of the year, part of the business will be brought to Dengzhou to subsidize maritime trade."

"What does the owner mean, Chen Kee's future business will focus on the development of maritime affairs?"

"Hmm."

As for the direction of Chen Kee's future development, the theme of each meeting is unavoidable. The major shopkeepers have also come up with their own plans, and they have always been very conservative about the expansion of the. Chen Ji is talking to Lu Yi about this now, hoping that Lu Yi can give some suggestions. Of course, in fact, Chen Ji's ultimate direction is, in the final analysis, Chen Ji's Yiyantang.

"With this incident, I'm going to settle a small account with some people."

Lu Yi looked over.

"I roughly know the people behind it, and now it's a situation where I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, you can do something, and they're all damned people anyway."

Lu Yi said loudly: "This is not appropriate, right?"

"Nothing out of place. Arrange it tonight, I plan to go to the Spring Garden Building. ”

"Spring Garden Building? Today should have been wrapped up by the Qi family, and now it is still during the national mourning, and the owner has passed, and I am afraid that it will be true. ”

Chen Ji rubbed his forehead, "I remember that it's been March, right?" ”

Lu Yi said: "That's what I said."

"Then it'll be fine. I don't go up to trouble them, they don't dare to provoke me head-on, and I can't fight, which is not a good thing. ”

Lu Yi became more and more helpless.

Chen Ji seemed unwilling to pay attention to the changes in Lu Da's shopkeeper, and then said: "If you don't completely clear the black hand behind this, you won't have a good time in the future."

"It's not good news that comes to the north, Liaodong, and northwest, so we must be prepared."

"The owner has a point."

Chen Ji said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu, you are all seniors, and you need to contribute more to do business, and now I do this, so I won't spend money indiscriminately." Where the situation will go in the future is not something we can say, all we can do is to make ourselves more capable of surviving. ”

"In addition, starting in the second half of the year, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper Song will probably go to Dengzhou with me, and all the things in Qingzhou will be entrusted to you at that time."

Lu Yi got up.

Chen Ji waved his hand: "Soon, there will be some changes in Liaodong, and Chen Ji may be involved, so Shopkeeper Lu can appropriately hoard a batch of silver in case of emergency."

Lu Yi looked at it and was full of puzzlement.

Chen Ji didn't explain anymore, turned around and took a stack of papers from the table and handed it over.

"This is a plan I made during this time, and Shopkeeper Lu can take a look at it when he has time, which can be used as a reference in the future."
