The first thing Nangong Pu did when he came back was to drive Fu Qingshuang out of Pingyang, but it made Nangong Wan even more silent. Nothing was said, and there was no better way to do it.

It's just that Nangong Dingkang snatched all the Wang family's business outside Fenzhou at any cost, and used it as a bargaining chip to force Wang Lixian to agree to make peace. And Wang Lixian did not agree to leave even if he began to sell part of his property, and did not even mention the letter of resignation, but he sued Nangong Wan's unfilial in-laws with a complaint, asking her to return to Fenzhou to serve her in-laws as soon as possible. Nangong Pu countersued the Wang family for long-term abuse, resulting in a serious illness and had to be taken back by his mother's family. Both families have money and connections, and the government has a headache and has to drag it out.

So, when Nangong Jin tentatively proposed to take Nangong Wan to Jingzhou to relax, the family didn't object, but Zhou Tang also asked to go with him.

At this time, the west courtyard of Qifengzhuang in Jingzhou was lively. Even Zhao Fengming didn't expect that in addition to Nangong Jin and Li Songran this time, there would be two female dependents, especially Nangong Wan who was brought out.

As soon as Nangong Jin arrived, he called the heads of all the halls to discuss the matter.

First of all, he took stock of the income of the last Jingzhou Sword Dance, and there was a slight surplus overall, and he relied on this and later borrowed money to pay the salt introduction. After the loan in Quanzhou expired, Nangong Pu made up the silver through other channels and repaid the loan and interest.

Therefore, now Jingzhou's funds, in addition to the debt owed to Nangong Pu, are not too nervous, and the income from salt introduction is gradually emerging, Zhao Fengming is very optimistic about the first year of the new Santang.

And now, Jingzhou has begun the preliminary preparations for the next sword dance, and has re-selected several other state capitals that will be held at the same time. All kinds of news are being released little by little, and women's martial arts halls and clothing stores are planning to launch services and products related to sword dance, especially preparing to launch sword dance dolls, Nangong Wanlai is just in time.

As for the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce with Liu Zhizhi, Zhao Fengming felt that it was better to cooperate, and he was bound by interests, so he did not recommend setting up a hall, and hoped that Nangong Jin would consider it again.

Who knew that the next day, Liu Luzhi set up a family banquet to invite Nangong Jin's family. However, Nangong Jin's gift is also very interesting, it is a full set of sword dance clothes made by Nangong Wan with his own brocade, including six dresses and regular clothes, but each one is only the size of a palm, which is extremely exquisite, so that the young ladies of the Liu family can't put it down.

As soon as the meal was finished, Liu Zhizhi was in a hurry to take Nangong Jin and Li Songran to the study, and Mrs. Liu was also a spiritual god who had been accompanying the ladies in the backyard.

There is a plate of citrus in the study, and even the tea is actually tangerine peel tea. Liu Zhizhi smiled and picked up the citrus and distributed it to the two, and said, "Come, compensate, Neizi's mother's specialty." ”

Nangong Jin said with a smile: "I only remember that Chenzhou produced dansha, and this is also produced?" "After eating the slice, it was really crispy and sweet.

"Actually, Taishan's family lives in Qianyang." Liu explained, "It's all grown at home. ”

Nangong Jin nodded, remembering a sentence in the local chronicles, saying: "Yuanzhou produces jujube persimmons, and Qianyang produces orange persimmons." ”

"I didn't expect the second son to know." Liu Zhizhi was a little proud, "My Taishan family grows this for a living, and at least forty percent of the citrus in Qianyang comes from his family, especially the ones with the best quality." Although these are not very valuable in the local area, they are sold at a high price in Beijing and Jiangnan. Of course, this also pays attention to the season, and the taste will be much worse if you put it for too long, and it also pays attention to the preservation method, otherwise it will not be stored for too long. Although it is a small fruit, there are many things to pay attention to. ”

Nangong Jin just smiled and nodded while eating, Liu Xuanzhi was in such a hurry, and he didn't think it would be as simple as just inviting them to eat oranges. But when he said this, Liu Yanzhi's expression became embarrassed, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak.

It seems that there is something to ask for, Nangong Jin is not in a hurry at all, drinking tangerine peel tea, eating citrus, and praising a few words from time to time, persuading Li Songran to eat a few more.

Liu Zhizhi finally spoke: "Second son, I don't know if I can let my father-in-law's family also participate in the freight transportation of the Nangong clan?" ”

Aren't you talking about oranges? What do you say about freight? Nangong Jin looked at the citrus in his hand. If you want to say what happened to the eldest brother, I really don't know. So he smiled and said, "Do you want to carry these fruits out?" Just entrust them directly to transport, and you have to form a caravan to participate, and the cost is not low. And, as far as I know, it seems that it's just a few halls in the family, and it's not partnering with anyone, right? Saying that, he looked at Li Songran uncertainly.

Li Songran thought for a moment and nodded, "In this matter, I really didn't say that I wanted to partner." ”

Nangong Jin said to Liu Xuan: "Freight partnership, there may be no way." If you want to ship goods, the price must be easy to say if the quantity is large. ”

Liu Muzhi laughed embarrassedly again, "Hey, second son, Liu Mou should say it directly." Actually, I'm embarrassed. Liu Zhizhi paused, as if organizing language. It's really their own fault. That's right, Mr. Qi Zhongyan Qi had been to Qianyang before, and he was looking for the best citrus, so he found my father-in-law's house. My father-in-law's family has been growing citrus for generations, and in the hands of Mount Tai, in addition to improving the varieties and preservation methods, they also have their own stores in Jiangnan and Jingzhong. ”

Nangong Jin didn't interrupt him, but listened carefully to him with a serious expression. After all, he had never heard of Qi Zhongyan himself.

At that time, the oranges were still on the tree, so Mr. Qi wanted to take all the fruits of his father-in-law's family, whether good or bad, at a fixed price, and hand them over to transport them as soon as they were ripe. After all, such a thing has never happened, and the father-in-law's family also has stores in Beijing and Jiangnan, so I didn't agree. This is a fresh goods, and the sooner it is shipped, the higher the profit. Originally, my father-in-law's family was the only one in Qianyang who could transport fruits to Beijing and Jiangnan. But this year, when my father-in-law's family transported the fruits, I found that the Qianyang citrus had already been on the market half a month earlier. Not only that, but the original few old customers have asked for a lot less goods this year. ”

Liu Yanzhi smiled bitterly, "This year, the citrus harvest is abundant, and many fruit farmers have long been trying to find a way to transport the fruit as soon as possible. Later, I learned that in addition to my father-in-law's family, not to mention the small fruit farmers in Qianyang, six or seven percent of the larger ones were sold to Mr. Qi. And Mr. Qi not only sold the goods in Beijing and Jiangnan, but almost all the halls of the Nangong clan sold Qianyang citrus. ”

Liu Zhizhi paid attention to Nangong Jin's expression, and saw that he was still listening carefully, and he didn't say much, and his heart was slightly cold, "This year has passed the season, and it is impossible to cooperate again." What they thought was, after all, they also had caravans and shops, so could the fruit business ...... Do it together. The main thing is to unify the listing time, um......, partnership, um, investment share? ”

The last few words, the more Liu Zhizhi said it, the softer it became. I know it's impossible. People are doing well, why do they want to join shares? People can go to the capital half a month early, why should they be listed in a unified manner? It's obviously begging for other people's business. Last time, I told my wife that it was difficult to talk about this matter with such conditions, so I would mention the freight partnership first, at least the caravan.

After listening to Liu Xuanzhi's words, Nangong Jin looked at the citrus in his hand again.

This orange tastes good, but now I'm afraid it's rotting on the tree, Qi Zhongyan is a ruthless person. I don't know which hall it is, it is estimated that he is under the banner of the Nangong clan, and Liu Xuanzhi's father-in-law did not give a good face. However, it seems that this approach is no longer as simple as the freight was originally said.

Seeing that Nangong Jin was still silent, Liu Mianzhi smiled in embarrassment, "Second son, the foolish brother also knows that it is unlikely that he will cooperate like this." I just want to have a way to compromise, after all, my father-in-law's family is just a mountain fruit farmer, so they rely on this fruit to feed, and now they know that there is not only one way to do many things, so, ...... second son? ”

Nangong Jin laughed, "If you want to talk about compromise ......, what does Brother Liu think?" ”

"Can you refer to this sword dance?" Liu Zhizhi said cautiously.

Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment and looked up at Liu Xuanzhi. He didn't know if he had thought about it early or had a flash of inspiration, referring to the Sword Dance, it was not ....... However, the father-in-law suggested that cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce would be better. After all, the businessman is making profits and is officially included, I am afraid that they will smash the brand of the Nangong clan, after all, these businesses in the family have just started, and the gains outweigh the losses if they are bad.

"Brother Liu wants to hand over the silver and play the banner of the Nangong clan?" Nangong Jin shook his head and suggested: "If it's just for these fruits, wouldn't Brother Liu do this the same as before, but at a lot of extra cost?" If you want me to say, it is better to sell these fruits in the production area, save transportation and sales, and concentrate on planting good fruits. ”

If it is really a mountain fruit farmer, of course, it is best to only grow fruit, but they are not. Liu Zhizhi could only continue to work hard, "Hey, second son, they have been doing it for so many years, after all, they also have their own ideas. I can say that they will be asked to pay the silver, only do Jingzhong and Jiangnan, and after the goods arrive, they will be merged into the channels of the Nangong clan for unified sales, and their shops in Beijing can also sell the goods of the Nangong clan. For the Nangong clan, it is to transport less to Beijing and Jiangnan, and more to other places. ”

Nangong Jin thought about it, but still shook his head, "Brother Liu, the junior brother is only in charge of the three halls in Jingzhou, and he really can't be the master of this matter." ”

"This Kyushu Sword Dance, in addition to our Jingzhou, there are other places, and even Huguang." When he said this, Liu Zhizhi regretted it. It's not appropriate to use the analogy of the sword dance at all, even if this sword dance party is opened in Huguang? It is natural for Lao Tzu to help his son, and it is nothing if he has to let him help him.

Hurriedly made up for it: "Brother Fool is very grateful to the second son, and he has not let our Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce lose several times." Some of them are bright, and they have made a lot of money this time. Hehe....... It's embarrassing to say that.

Nangong Jin didn't pay attention to anything, and said with a smile: "This matter should be able to be done for a few more years." Making a lot of money should be tomorrow and the year after tomorrow. After that, other places will learn to do it. When the time comes, we will change some tricks, in short, only we Jingzhou is the most authentic, and we have to make enough money to succeed. ”

"I'm still thinking that next year, Sword Dance will find some foreigners to come, and then open the foreign goods collection from Quanzhou to Jingzhou, which should be more lively." Nangong Jin seems to be talking about the rise of the rise, intentionally or unintentionally said the Quanzhou foreign goods collection.

"Quanzhou foreign goods set?" Liu Zhizhi didn't understand.

"I have three ocean-going vessels, and I also have them at home in Quanzhou. Anyway, the freight is convenient, and the foreigner things that were originally shipped to Quanzhou did not add much cost to be transported directly to Jingzhou. It's not difficult to get a few foreigner maikos. Nangong Jin deliberately said it very casually, but there were no details.

"Second son, in addition to Jingzhou, he is also in charge of Quanzhou?" Liu Zhizhi asked. If that's the case, you can't just focus on citrus.

"Yes." Nangong Jin ate the citrus and nodded with a smile.

Liu Yanzhi was thoughtful, and Nangong Jin also followed him. After a while, the two stopped talking about these things, and chatted all over the world.
