"Childe, the house on Ganquan Street was bought together with the house on Guangling Street behind, and the reason why I didn't buy it together was because I discussed it with my second brother, worried that if something happened, it wouldn't be served in one pot."

Entering the front hall, Lin Cheng smiled at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong was a little speechless, and said angrily: "If you really want to get to that point, it's useless for you to stay away from the two cities." You don't have to worry about the ordinary and thoughtful questions, I will arrange it. You just need to find a few brave people to guard against the little thieves. ”

It's really to the point where he can serve them in one pot, it must be that he Jia Cong has a big problem.

It's not just two streets away.

After taking their seats one by one, Jia Cong asked, "Have you seen the workshop and factory?" ”

Ni Er said in a deep voice: "I chose three places, one is Jiangxin Island outside Jinling City, one is Phoenix Island, where the adults are now in the military camp, and the other is Jiangyin. Ah Cheng and I both attach great importance to Phoenix Island and Jiangyin, especially the latter, which is extremely easy to walk. It's easy to go north and south. ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Jiangyin, don't think about it, I just sent someone to uproot the first prominent clan in Jiangyin, which has been operating in Jiangyin for hundreds of years, if you go there, the people's grievances alone will be enough for you, and you won't even be able to recruit manpower." Here in Yangzhou, I'm afraid it's enough to choke. However, Yangzhou is always better here, even if Jinling is forgotten, it will not be clean in the past two years, so let's not go to make trouble for the Jiangnan Governor Fu Yamen. ”

Ni Er nodded and smiled: "Okay, then Yangzhou Mansion." ”

Jia Cong still reminded: "Yangzhou Mansion is not so simple, Second Brother Ni, you have to show the vigor of the time when you put the money in the gambling house, don't be afraid of being targeted, be stronger." The law does not prohibit freedom, as long as you do not break the law, the rest is up to you, I am the master for you. ”

When Ni Er heard this, he scratched his head and smiled: "Okay!" If you have a childe, this sentence will be done! Don't hide it from the son, in order not to embarrass the son in the past few years, the second child and I have been restrained and behaved, and I am about to suffocate to death, this time it's good! ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You just look at it...... By the way, is the Storyteller's team still growing? ”

Ni Er said seriously: "It's been increasing, but except for the backbone core, the new people who have been added include storytellers, singers, and slices...... I don't know where we are. ”

Jia Cong nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, you get to know Zhanpeng, he will introduce a few more people to you, and you will get a sign of Jinyi Wei Baihu Official." If necessary, take this sign to any Jinyi Household in the six provinces south of the Yangtze River to ask for help. Bringing together those ninth-rate artists will inevitably touch the interests of some local snakes, and fighting is indispensable. ”

Ni Er said with a smile: "Ah Cheng's idea is to set up a big stage team and name it Qinghuayuan. Use this team to bring people together, and whoever dares to make trouble will use the name of Qinghuayuan to do it. ”

Jia Cong looked at Lin Cheng appreciatively and said, "This method is good, and I will find Jinyiwei in the future, and others will only treat you as the silver." ”

When Lin Cheng heard this, he smiled, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that Gongzi doesn't let Shihantang make profits, otherwise he can make a lot of silver." ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "I can't make anything by printing books, and what I earn is donated to the old man to Xinghua education, which is a good thing." I don't dare to say it, no one in Jiangnan dares to bully you on the surface, right? ”

Lin Cheng was proud and said, "There is not even a troublemaker." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "This is the benefit, you are indisputable by nature, and that is enough." Don't be presumptuous, I'll make other arrangements soon, and it will be of great use. ”

Next, the three of them got down to business and discussed some snowflake candy.

Daqian only has frosted sugar, which is dark in color, and it is not as beautiful as snowflake candy imported from the West.

A pack of snow-white and crystal snowflake candy is worth eight taels of silver.

Even in a wealthy family like Rongguo Mansion, there are not many people who are qualified to taste it, and even Daiyu only has a bag and bird's nest to eat because of Baochai's gift, which shows its preciousness.

Before Jia Cong went to Heiliao, he experimented with the limestone method through secret experiments to clarify cheap frosting sugar into snowflake candy.

Just want to make it on a large scale, and you need to further explore the process manually.

Ni Er and Lin Cheng had a ready-made recipe, and it took nearly two years to find a lot of masters before they finally figured it out.

Now it's harvest time......

And Jia Cong is about to need a lot of silver.

Not to mention anything else, the cost of raising a "water army" ahead of its time will not be cheap......

……

At the end of the unitary hour, it was already dark, and Jia Cong said goodbye to Aunt Ni and Lin Cheng's mother, and returned to Yanzheng Yamen with Xiaohong.

On the way, Xiaohong asked Jia Cong: "Third master, what can I do?" ”

She was a little uneasy, a little dazed, but also a little excited.

Perhaps it is this kind of unwillingness to be ordinary, or unwilling to be mediocre, that she is not liked by the traditional Baochai......

Jia Cong doesn't hate it, and it's not necessarily a bad thing for girls to be more motivated.

He smiled: "You have a lot of things to learn, but in the end it's just about employing people." I will set up an account office for you, and ask for five or six bookkeepers, and you will not be required to have the ability to settle accounts, but at least you must understand the accounts, which is very important and what you need to learn from at the moment. Have you had the confidence? ”

For a while, Xiaohong felt a lot of pressure, but she liked it!

Xiaohong looked at Jia Cong and nodded, and said solemnly: "I must not disappoint the third master!" ”

Jia Cong smiled and admonished: "In the first half a year, you should learn more, watch more, remember more, but say less." Don't do the stupid thing of a layman guiding an insider, your biggest task is to make sure that I am not deceived by people on the outside, not to instruct them on how to be big. ”

Xiaohong understood this truth and nodded again and again.

After talking about four or five more problems that need attention, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of the Yanzheng Office.

Zhan Pengtong reported: "My lord, Guo Yun sent someone to come back first to report the news. ”

Jia Cong said: "What do you say? ”

Zhan Peng asked the pro-soldiers who rushed back to step forward, and the pro-soldiers said loudly: "Uncle Yu! On the orders of Guo Teamzheng, he came back first to report to his uncle. At the beginning of the ugly hour in the early hours of yesterday morning, Guo Teamzheng led 200 lowly and other pro-military captains to ambush in the woods outside Wolong Township, Jiangyin County, and did not move for a day. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the scouts saw the Bai family enter Wolong Township, and at three o'clock Guo team was leading us out of the forest, rushing straight to the Qin family's old house, and capturing the Bai family's men and most of the Qin family's personnel in one fell swoop. Although the Bai family resisted stubbornly, under the power of firearms, it would eventually become a climate.

At the beginning of last night, except for the 50 brothers who stayed in Wolong Township to be responsible for sealing the door, the rest of the people escorted 685 important criminals and returned to Yangzhou by boat, and they will arrive at Yangzhou Mansion tonight! ”

The people around were happy when they heard this, Jia Cong looked at the dusty soldiers in the car, and said warmly: "Zhang An, thank you for your hard work." ”

When the soldier with a terrifying arrow sore on his face heard Jia Cong's words, his eyes widened, and his face became more and more terrifying, and he said excitedly: "Uncle knows the name of the child? Do you still know me? ”

Jia Cong laughed and said, "You were dug out by me from the pile of dead people under the city of Yaksa, and I was not lightly injured at that time, I didn't expect you to survive." I remember that you were confused at that time, and you asked me to take care of your wife...... It hasn't been long, how could I not know each other? ”

Zhang An is actually just a young man in his twenties, but he didn't go to Jiangnan with Jia Cong, he came with the big ship.

I thought that Jia Cong had forgotten him, but I didn't expect it......

Under the agitation, Zhang An was about to kneel down and kowtow to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong asked Zhanpeng to stop him, and said with a smile: "You are my own soldier, just like your own relatives, don't go outside." After a while, I will receive twenty taels of silver from the housekeeper, not for you, but for your wife, and let her save it for your daughter-in-law. ”

"Hahaha!"

When Zhan Peng and the other pro-soldiers heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

The salters at the entrance of the Yan Zheng Ya also laughed, but their eyes were full of envy.

Silver is a trivial matter, the key is that it is rare to follow the right person.

Zhang An wiped his tears and was scolded by Jia Cong to go in to rest.

Jia Cong himself got out of the carriage and let the carriage go in to send Xiaohong, while he rode on the mount he brought with him, and said to Zhanpeng: "Let's go, let's go to the dock and pick up our heroes back." In addition, let people inform Thirteen Niang that the Zhen family can close the net. Just say...... Please ask me, the eldest brother of the Zhen family, to ask Bai Shijie for the 800,000 arrears, heh.

Drive! ”

……

One day and one night is enough for Jiangyin, more than 100 miles away, to spread what happened to Yangzhou.

On this day, the city of Yangzhou is extremely quiet.

Even the entire Jiangnan is in a dead silence.

People have speculated about how the thirteen families in Jiangnan will decline in the future.

Generally speaking, it is speculation that the children and grandchildren of the family are not angry, the talents are broken, and no one is in the office.

The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded.

or the heirs are not prosperous, and the heirs die.

But no one would have thought that such a famous family like the Thirteen Families in Jiangnan would be uprooted overnight with the most terrifying and terrifying crime of treason!

For a time, Jiangnan was terrified!

Even the Jiangnan Governor Fu Yamen, who was supposed to take the opportunity to move, did not make the slightest movement.

lest there be no one, causing a strong backlash from the Jiangnan Shi clan and causing great turmoil.

Once Jiangnan is unstable, they will not only have to move the black gauze hat, but they are afraid that even the head on their necks will have to move.

So at this moment, no one in Jiangnan Governor Fu Yamen thanked Jia Cong.

They are still like this, let alone Yangzhou Mansion?

This is also the reason why no one came to look for Jia Cong in a day.

They are all waiting for Jia Cong's next step, and they are also waiting for the thirteen families in Jiangnan...... No, now it's the reaction of the Jiangnan Twelve.

In their eyes, Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the great cadres and the Jiangnan of the imperial court, but after all, it is still the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan people.

……

Outside the city of Yangzhou, on the ancient river wharf.

The winter night is cold and windy.

Jia Cong rode on a horse with a snow fox trimmed twisted gold lynx skin, and behind him were hundreds of immovable brocade clothes and horses.

Zhan Peng and the tea lady also rode on horses to line up Jia Cong left and right, and stood half a step down.

Not far away, Zhen Fu, the eldest son of the dignified Zhen family, was locked to the side, and the hysterical shouting and scolding were piercing, but no one paid attention to it.

There were a few of Zhen Fu's long-term followers nearby, lying on the ground, stained with blood, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead......

At the beginning of the hour, two large ships finally appeared on the river.

Breaking through the river.
