When Zhu Da rarely sells Guanzi, after he said "new business", even Qin Qin, who didn't listen very carefully, became curious, but Qin Juren's expression was not as passionate as Fang Cai, and he poured himself a second glass of wine, with an indifferent smile on his face.

"Don't ask, don't ask, it's not good to say how this business is, I have to think carefully, and I'll talk to you when the time comes." Zhu Da dispelled everyone's inquiry.

After dinner, even Zhou Qingyun looked a little unbearable, he was nervous for a few days, there were big ups and downs today, both mentally and physically need to rest, how to say it is safe now, people can't get nervous, Zhu Da went out for a turn, and arranged for the four of them to take turns on duty for the night, this is the state of normal life, everyone can have a good rest.

Zhu Da was going to be on duty for an hour in the early morning, and sleep and rest at the rest of the time, and as soon as the arrangement was finished, Qin Qin, who was yawning, came to him, saying that Qin Chuan called him to chat alone.

Entering the study, as in the past when I was in Zhengjiaji, I lit three times more lights than normal people, this is Zhu Da's suggestion, a candle or oil lamp will cause irreversible damage to eyesight, since you can afford it, you are not afraid of consumption.

In the relatively bright candlelight, you can see that Qin Chuan's face is relaxed and tired, and when he saw Zhu Da coming in and closing the door, Qin Juren waved his hand and said: "When I was in Taiyuan, including this return journey, I thought that you had already suffered, I really didn't expect that you were still alive, and a big stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground, and now I feel that my whole body is soft, so I want to rest early." ”

This joy is from the heart, Zhu Da is moved and emotional, Qin Chuan's concern and closeness to him is true, but he only has the surprise of reunion after the catastrophe, but he rarely thinks of the sorrow of the departure of his parents and master, this is not Qin Juren's coldness, but the natural manifestation of the difference in the relationship.

"It's a pity that your parents and Brother Xiang have already lived a good life, but they don't have long to ......" Qin Chuan would not fail to mention it, but it was just polite and polite.

"I didn't expect to be able to meet your stepfather again, and I didn't expect that my stepfather would already be famous when he came back, which is really a double happiness." Zhu Da's words are also sincere.

Qin Chuan shook his head with a smile and said: "By chance, I will come back if I fail the exam, but this time there is such a big disaster, and I was retained by the Taiyuan royal family, so I delayed the time." ”

Everyone had to call people over to face them alone when they were resting, I don't think they were talking about these feelings, sure enough, after saying this, Qin Juren sat up straighter, motioned for Zhu Da to sit in front of him, and asked quite seriously: "Zhu Da, my father is now a person, he has his own wealth and wealth, and the private salt business and various transactions of Huairen County and Datong Zuowei are done for you and Qingyun, if this thing is done, plus the various means of doing business in the past, there are thousands of taels of silver a year, what new business are you thinking about?" Now that in the world, our fathers and sons rely on each other, do we still have to have a part? ”

Zhu Da said, "I thought about a new business", the tone and attitude at that time were very clear, it was outside the scope of Qin Chuan's plan, others may not have understood, and felt that it was still a system like the new village by the river, how smart and shrewd Qin Juren was, and immediately thought of a lot.

"Father-in-law, there is no birth." Zhu Da replied.

Before he could continue to explain, Qin Juren, who had some business, said again: "What's yours is yours, mine's is mine, Qin Qin is going to marry someone in the future, she won't marry into any bad family, and she won't suffer with her temperament, she can't take much of the Qin family's wealth, do you still want to separate the Qin family from the Zhu family?" Is the stepfather such a person? ”

"Father-in-law, if you want to marry again, start a family and have children, you must always leave a long-term foundation for the family." Judah replied calmly.

This statement made Qin Chuan's face appear angry, frowning and just about to speak, Zhu Da said again: "I'm not a child, nor do I think my father-in-law is stingy, I want to make a deal where everyone can get enough shares, father-in-law, don't you think Huairen County and Datong Zuowei are too small?" ”

"Too small?" This question made Qin Chuan stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Da in surprise, stared for a moment before shaking his head and said, "You are ambitious." ”

"Father-in-law, isn't the business of Baibao Village and Zhengjiaji the situation of Huairen County and Datong Zuowei, we are doing so prosperous, and when the Tartars arrive, it will not disappear, no matter how big we do in this Huairen County, if there is a strong come, the Tartars will break through the city, what big lord wants to forcibly seize the goods, how can we hold it?" Judah asked.

"The Tartars can't break the city......" Qin Chuan retorted, but the confidence is not too sufficient, the border town of Datong has been invaded by the Mongol army in small groups I don't know how many times, the wild looting, I don't know how many times the city has been breached, Huairen County has not been breached since the founding of the country recently, but in the past 20 years, everyone still thinks that the Tartars will not enter the Kou, and even the beacon fire is numb, and in the end there is such a disaster, who can say for sure.

What's more, although the status of the person is precious, it is only in a county, if there is really any big man who wants to take it by force, in fact, there is no power to resist.

"You said that these are all natural disasters, if you can expect the earthquake and flood, why bother to study and do business, wouldn't it be better to be a fairy."

"Father-in-law, only limited to Huairen County, the two places of Datong Zuowei, whether it is private salt or border cities, there is an upper limit, the silver earned is limited, the strength that can be taken is limited, and it will not be able to fight against natural and man-made disasters, we must have a bigger situation, in order to have greater strength, the new business I want to ponder has nothing to do with the territory, and the upper limit is far more than private salt and border trade."

"Are you going to rebel?"

When Zhu Da was talking, Qin Chuan suddenly asked such a question, Zhu Da was immediately stunned by the question, and was stunned for a while before replying: "It's just to protect yourself, just to live comfortably for a long time." ”

"I really don't know what that person taught you back then, how could you remember so firmly at a young age, if it was a mediocre person, such delusions could never be had, although you had a wide range of knowledge, you have never been out of this area of Huairen and Zuowei, you know how big the world is, you know what Da Ming looks like, don't think nonsense." Qin Chuan sighed inexplicably.

Back then, Zhu Da attributed his fishing and knowledge to the teaching of a mysterious Taoist, this unwarranted "mysterious Taoist" was considered by everyone to be a fugitive from the White Lotus Sect, and it was normal for such people to have any strange ideas, and Zhu Da's thoughts sometimes came down to this, but he omitted a lot of explanations.

"No crankiness." Zhu Da didn't want to explain more, just now, in this cramped place in a county, with more than 20 young people who had just learned to fight, it was unrealistic to think of anything.

"Father-in-law, we have enough gold and silver in our hands, with these goods, even if we don't achieve anything, we can keep the rest of our lives rich, since we have to do things, then why bother to be limited, it's better to do more, it's better to try a new one, after failure, it's nothing more than to take the silver and rely on the name of the father-in-law to live a comfortable life, what if it happens?" Zhu Da's persuasion actually diverted the conversation.

Qin Chuan was speechless for a while, he felt that there was something wrong with what Zhu Da said, but this righteous son took all aspects into account, so he couldn't argue.

"Do it! You do what you want, if you can't do it, you can come back, we are a family, don't be so careless. With a sigh at the end, Qin Chuan said a little weakly.

Zhu Da smiled, Qin Chuan's attitude moved him in his heart, but Zhu Da was no longer a person who would show his true temperament because he was moved, he was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "Father-in-law, if you want to unify the private salt of the two places, it is not enough to rely on these people now, and you have to recruit again, I already have a way." ”

Regarding this obvious shift in the topic, Qin Chuan smiled, waved his hand and said: "I also have a routine for recruiting and training soldiers here, it seems that it is not as good as yours, you can just do it yourself." ”

"Qingyun and I still know about the township Yong regimental training in Huairen County and Datong Zuowei, and we know very well how it is, recruit people, and after a month, we can clean up everywhere and arrest the illegal salt business." Zhu Da said firmly, at that time, Yuan Biao took him and Zhou Qingyun everywhere, and he had a thorough understanding of the armament in such places.

Hearing this, Qin Juren smiled, laughing quite heartily, for Qin Chuan, this was the only moment when he took the initiative and had the upper hand in this night's conversation, although his family did not pay attention to this, but it still made people feel comfortable.

"The matter of unifying private salt, you can do it tomorrow, at the beginning, you don't need knives and guns, if it goes well, even if you get it all, you don't need to use knives and soldiers, the benefits of this person's identity, there are many things you can't think of."

Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

Everyone slept very soundly this night, not only on Zhu Da's side, but also on other places in Huairen County, because everyone could confirm that they would not be destroyed and set on fire at night, and they were not worried that the county order would go crazy to mobilize the villagers.

Of course, sleeping well does not mean going to bed early, and many people have to plan and plan, because after tonight, the sky in Huairen County will change.

......

Early the next morning, the sleeping Zhu Da was woken up by the family, saying that Chang Kai came over with a few people, and Zhu Da went out to greet him after a simple wash.

"Lao Chang, it's all my own family, and I will take care of it in the future, why bother to come over to flatter me so early." made a joke when they met, Chang Kai not only came by himself, but also brought his mother-in-law and a few middle-aged women of about the same age.

"My master, I see that you are not prepared, and you are joking, hurry up, we can't relax these days." Chang Kai's face was not relaxed, and he stomped his feet in a hurry that hated iron and steel.

Zhu Da was stunned, the next step would not be easy, but what to prepare?
