Since the middle and late dynasties of the former dynasty, Jiangnan has become a place where wealth is concentrated in the whole world.

As far as the present dynasty is concerned, although the people of Gyeonggi Province are the most affluent, Sichuan Road is the most abundant, and Jinghu Road produces the most rice, only Jiangnan has unfathomable wealth.

Although most of Jiangnan East Road was destroyed, and even the Mingzhou Port, where the city was located, was looted, most of the gentry and wealthy merchants knew that the worse it looked now, the greater the benefits when rebuilding.

In the process of rebuilding and returning to prosperity in Jiangnan, the interests of all walks of life will be redistributed, and the right to speak in key industries will be redivided...... With huge interests in front of him, of course Jiangnan businessmen want to sweep away the guys who look in the eyesway.

Before the dust settled, Li Xiang didn't think of the grand proposition of "Jiangnan Reconstruction" at all, he just felt that the local businessmen had come back to grab food.

Why let Lao Tzu go? I haven't earned enough yet!

Li Xiang began to think, with the alliance of Mingyuezhuang, Wuren and local big households, how long would he be able to block the powerful Jiangnan industrial and commercial groups?

Maybe it's ten days, maybe half a month, no more than a month at most, this is the heart-stopping conclusion that Li Xiang has reached.

Leaving Gangnam Market in a gloomy way? Li Xiang was unwilling.

It's all here, of course, you have to make enough money, Mingyuezhuang will always be short of money.

He led people south to fight, although it was mainly to save his father-in-law, but he also killed many children in Zhuangnai, which effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Yongle puppet dynasty. Taking advantage of the absence of local businessmen and making a little money by tens of thousands, Li Xiang felt that he was not too much.

Besides, Jiangnan is simply too rich, Jiangnan East Road can have endless market capacity if it is beaten to pieces, if there is no war, then it will be repaid?

Li Xiang couldn't suppress his greed, not only wanted to "stay" in Jiangnan for a longer time, but also wanted to insert a foot in it forever and cut a piece of cake openly.

In order to deal with the threat of Jiangnan merchants, Li Xiang persuaded the merchants of Mingyueji again and again, encouraging them to make a fortune in Jiangnan.

It was not enough for the merchants of Mingyueji to come over, Li Xiang also started with the medicinal materials related to the life and death of the soldiers, and united the Lingnan pharmacists, Fanbu pharmacists and Jinghu North Road pharmacists who had always been weak, to fight against the pharmacists in other places.

The initiative of uniting some pharmacists, while reducing the price of medicine in Mingyuezhuang and Jiangnan workshops, also provided Li Xiang with a new idea to make a fortune in Jiangnan: since Jiangnan merchants are the strongest, then mobilize Dazhou merchants from all over the world to rush to Jiangnan as much as possible, and everyone will fish in troubled waters while the war is fighting!

The fleet of merchants of all sizes in Mingyueji rushed to Jiankang, and the yamen, which was responsible for purchasing medicinal materials, frequently had new faces come to the door, and Li Xiang had begun to secretly encourage businessmen from all over the world to come to Jiangnan to make a fortune......

It is conceivable that as more and more businessmen rush to Jiangnan, the war-torn Jiangnan will definitely become more lively.

Li Xiang's third step to make a fortune in Jiangnan has not yet begun.

Fang Weiliang bowed his hand to Liu Chengdong and said solemnly: "The old village owner doesn't have to worry too much, the owner of the village is acting in a measured manner." ”

"For example, the hungry people who go to the workshops and mines under the command of various capitals and battalions are very bitter, but they are lucky enough compared to the hungry people in other places who barely receive porridge to survive."

"Most of the workshops and mines west of Taihu Lake pay attention to sprinkling lime on weekdays, and do not let the hungry people who work eat raw water. Hungry people work in such places, have clothes and shoes to wear, can eat half-full, and are not easy to contract the epidemic. In recent days, many hungry people have been rushing to work in the workshops. ”

Liu Chengdong remembered the dilemma when his family was ruined and he was forced to take people into the mountains and grass, waved his hand and said: "It's good to know in your heart." We don't lack money now, but we must not do things that are poked in the back. ”

"The part I earned in Jiangnan belongs to my name, and I asked Mr. Liao to help me buy rice grain, which can always make hundreds of hungry people eat more."

Liao Shikai nodded in response.

Li Xiang felt that his father-in-law, perhaps because of old age and fatigue, his heart was getting softer and softer. It is also possible that when you were young, you cut too many people, and when you are old, you start to believe in the cycle of cause and effect.

No matter what, Liu Chengdong is Li Xiang's father-in-law, father-in-law, and old Taishan.

In order to make Liu Chengdong feel at ease, Li Xiang decided to donate some money and grain, "Since my father-in-law said so, the son-in-law also donated 1,000 yuan, which was converted into cloth, food and medicine, to help the people of the former Deqing County in the north, which were strictly guarded." ”

"Those people who helped Lord Yuezhang defend the city deserve this kind reward."

Li Xiang's donation was very ingenious, which made Liu Chengdong's guilt dissipate a lot.

Liu Chengdong's gaze at Li Xiang became softer and more satisfied.

After Li Xiang, Xiong Dachun, Zhang Qingping, Yang Yingdong, Zhang Laotou, Cheng Clerk, Wang Xiaochen, these people who have workshops under their names and make money in Jiangnan, more or less donated, ranging from dozens to hundreds.

Taking advantage of the happiness of everyone present, the officials put the icing on the cake and mentioned one thing, "Do you know which one was the first to make money in Jiangnan by yourself?" ”

Old man Zhang finally looked forward to his precious apprentice Wang Xiaochen, and he was in a very good mood at this time, so he was the first to guess: "Today's Jiangnan, the most sought-after, what we can still produce in Mingyuezhuang is naturally medicine." ”

"Isn't it, that girl of Cao Wenwen?"

Seeing that the clerk shook his head, Old Man Zhang snorted and lowered his head to drink tea.

Wang Xiaochen saw that his master began to play with the child's temper again, so he had to comfort him.

Then Old Man Zhang, Zhang Qingping guessed: "In addition to medicines, there are iron tools, especially agricultural tools, which are in short supply, after all, iron in the south of the Yangtze River is given priority to the military." ”

"It's the Lei family, right?"

The clerk shook his head again.

Liu Chengdong, who was sitting at the top, was happy and interested, "The grain and salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are not dared to be touched by Han Zhao's envoys." In addition, linen cloth is also in demand in Jiangnan. ”

"It's the two who weave hemp, right?"

The official still shook his head, but added: "The two families that the old village owner said gave the linen plates on the ship to the army before they arrived in Jiangnan, so it cannot be said that they earned it in Jiangnan." ”

Li Xiang also has an answer in his heart, it is a woman. Although the production of her family's workshop does not belong to the most sought-after goods in Jiangnan at the moment, it is also an indispensable commodity.

Fang Weiliang saw that the owner's eyes fluctuated, so he asked the owner who was drinking tea and was silent, "Who does the owner think?" ”

Li Xiang's tone was also a little admired, "None of the companies that produce the most in-demand goods are not, I can only think of Wu Xiaoling's woman." ”

"In terms of brains and means, Wu Xiaoling is a recognized business genius in Zhuangnei."

"In a place like Jiangnan, where people are not familiar with life, the first person to make money is likely to be Wu Xiaoling, who broke into Sichuan Road alone. Yes and no? ”

The official hugged his fists and said in admiration, "Mingyuezhuang's workshops, mines, and caravans were all brought out by the owner." In the words of the owner, it is indeed the owner of Wu. ”

"The owner of the village might as well guess again, what method did proprietor Wu use to earn money thousands of miles away?"

At this time, Liu Chengdong couldn't help but be curious, and asked Li Xiang at the bottom left in a low voice, "Son-in-law, son-in-law?" ”

"Ahem, that Wu Xiaoling, isn't it the widow Liu who killed her husband and pulled her son and her lover's son?"

Li Xiang's forehead sweated slightly, and he said in his heart, father-in-law, you are also very gossipy, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, it's that woman." ”

"It's not easy, it's not easy." Liu Chengdong sat back and sighed.

How can Li Xiang know how Wu Xiaoling sold the goods? He shook his head directly and said, "I really can't guess, let's hear it." ”

After selling enough, the clerk began to summarize Wu Xiaoling's method in concise language, "It's easy to say, but few people can think of it and can do it." ”

Wu Xiaoling asked his steward to look for well-informed collaborators in various places, and let the collaborators run to crowded places. soup kitchens, yamen, workshops, mines, kilns...... After coming and going, many people know that there is a group of people who have very cheap shoes and ready-to-wear in their hands. ”

Wu Xiaoling only sold shoes at first, giving one ready-to-wear for every ten pairs of shoes she bought, so many people bought her clogs in large quantities. When I arrived in Guangde County, several proprietors from the village even said that they admired it, and now the ready-to-wear clothes in Wu Xiaoling's workshop are not worried. ”

first agitated popularity, then saw the stitches, and finally the cascading effect, Wu Xiaoling's hands were indeed beautiful. It's really not nice to cooperate with a thick-skinned head snake, but it's very easy to use, and it's very good for Li Xiang's temper.

Li Xiang high-fived and admired, "A woman with two dolls can actually come up with a whole set of methods on her own, she is very talented." Our Mingyuezhuang has another role model, which is gratifying. ”

Cheng Yuan, Fang Weiliang, Yang Yingdong, Xiong Dachun and others nodded, smiling and admiring.

Liao Shikai knew almost nothing about Mingyuezhuang, so he had to echo awkwardly, planning to find someone to inquire about the basic situation of Mingyuezhuang as soon as possible. After all, he is Liu Chengdong's personal manager, and he always has to know something.
