At the end of autumn of this year, a business inn named Dongrong moved from Chengwu County to Gushan Town, and the business scope of Dongrong business was very complex, and its main business covered almost all areas that could make money.

Dongrong's owner is called Su Xuan, this name is unknown in the business community of Chengwu County, before coming to Gushan Town, Su Xuan opened a grocery store near the Tiefo Temple in the county seat, and he didn't toss out any big names for more than ten years, because the capital is not large, and he is low-key, Dongrong's arrival has not attracted the attention of many people.

This is exactly what Li Mao wants, in his plan, Dong Rong will only make a move after half a year of dormancy in Gushan Town, and if it succeeds, the profits will be inexhaustible for him for several lifetimes.

It was Su Zhen who instructed Su Xuan to move his business from Chengwu County to Gushan Town, in fact, Su Xuan's grocery store had long been insolvent, and it was given to Su Zhen at the beginning of the year, and after a small capital injection two months ago, Su Zhen gave it to Su Qing as a dowry.

In order to make her daughter feel at ease, the name on the deed of this grocery store is still written Su Zhen, but before moving to Gushan Town, the deed was changed, and the name of the original owner Su Xuan replaced Su Zhen.

Su Xuan actually didn't receive any guidance from a master, and he couldn't afford to raise money to redeem Dongrong, he came back to hold Dongrong on behalf of Su Zhen, and get a good remuneration, mixed with a superficial glory, but in fact he was a puppet who couldn't be the master. The real owner of Dongrong is still Su Zhen, the squire of Su Nu Township, but the actual controller is Su Qing, the third lady of Su.

Making the property rights of a small grocery store so complicated was Li Mao's instructions, and although Su Qing was puzzled, he still carried it out to the letter. She has always been quite conceited about her business talents, but when she learned more about what Li Mao did in Gushan Town, she had to admit that when it came to the ability of officials and businessmen to collude to make a lot of money, she was not even worthy of lifting Li Mao's shoes.

Caozhou Thorn Shi Mi Rulong was greedy and unsympathetic, provoked a mutiny, ten generals Zheng Heshun led the crowd to make a rebellion, the head of the war, exterminated his clan, the general Liang Chengdong immediately quelled the rebellion, and the state judicial army Wang Xun assisted in quelling the rebellion, promoted to the governor of the history, and temporarily took charge of the state government. Li Shigu transferred the Pinglu Army of Puzhou to garrison Nanguan of Caozhou City, and transferred the Qing Navy of Gushan Town to garrison Caozhou City and Nanhua County, but Yu Hualong refused to send troops on the grounds of insufficient troops.

Gushan Town is in the northeast of Caozhou, one hundred and twenty miles away from Caozhou City in a straight line, one hundred and fifty miles in fact, one hundred and seventy miles away from Nanhua County, the total strength of the Qing Navy is only four thousand, after the division of troops, the strength is spread out, and any line is at a disadvantage. Therefore, Yu Hualong refused to divide his troops. Yu Hualong refused to divide the troops, and gave the Pinglu army a reason to move westward, Caozhou is the west gate of Ziqing Road, and the west and south sides are bordered by Biansong Road (Xuanwu Army), and the Xuanwu Army has not been very harmonious with Li Shigu, and there is a military rebellion in Caozhou, and the Xuanwu Army is very likely to send troops to intervene, and Li Shigu moved his division to strengthen the defense of the Western Front, and the reason is very sufficient.

When the news of the military rebellion in Caozhou reached Gushan Town, Yin Mu and others advocated sending troops to intervene, taking advantage of the situation to take over the city, and not giving the Pinglu army a reason to intervene westward. Wen Cheng and the others did not agree to divide the troops, their reason was that the strength of Gushan Town was already weak, and if they divided the troops into two more places, it was very likely that they would be broken by Li Shigu each. Yu Hualong also tended not to divide his troops, so although he was on the defensive, it was not easy for Li Shigu to take him down.

With Yunzhou slowly consuming, there are still variables in the outcome of the game, if Li Shigu catches the flaw due to blind movement, it is very likely to lose the whole game.

Gushan Town refused to be ordered to send troops, and the defense of Caozhou fell into the hands of the Pinglu Ya Army, plus the original state soldiers, with a total strength of no less than 5,000 people. In this way, Gushan Town was surrounded by the Pinglu army on all sides.

After Li Shigu's layout was completed, the "truth" about the Caozhou mutiny gradually surfaced, and according to people close to the "truth", Wang Zhibang coveted the beauty of Mi Rulong's concubine Mingzhu, and couldn't ask for it, so he held a grudge. Zheng Heshun, the general of Caozhou, should be punished for breaking the law, and in order to get out, he wanted to serve Li Shidao's subordinates, and asked Wang Zhibang to speak on his behalf. In order to show his sincerity, he planned to assassinate Mi Rulong, but the assassination failed, and he mutinied again, killed Mi's family, seized the favored concubine Mingzhu, and curried favor with Wang Zhibang.

And Liang Chengdong, who was originally identified as the mastermind of the Caozhou Mutiny, was completely coerced by Zheng Heshun and had to obey. After Mi Rulong was killed, with the help of Wang Xun, a judicial officer, Liang Chengdong beheaded Zheng Heshun and quelled the rebellion.

Zheng Heshun is as majestic as a bear, with a thick beard, because he is short-tempered, greedy and drunk, and has the nickname of "Black Bomb and Thunder" in the army. A month earlier, he had killed a bartender in a liquor shop, Mi Rulong had him arrested and imprisoned, and there were rumors in Caozhou City that he was going to have an accident, and he had good reasons to launch this mutiny.

Liang Chengdong was promoted to the defense envoy of the Caozhou regiment because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, and shared the military and political affairs with Wang Xun.

A boiling mutiny came to an end, and Mi Rulong's image added a lascivious section in addition to the greed, but for a dead man, it doesn't matter if he adds two more notoriety, as for Wang Zhibang, he was already famous in Gaomi County, and one more affair is not only harmless, but also adds to his ability. As for some people who are lying down and are also hit by arrows, they can't help but be a little resentful, their own nephew crossed Caozhou and had a dispute with the assassin history, less than a day after the incident, the assassin history was wiped out, if the two are completely unrelated, isn't it a shame to laugh at no one in the world? But if it is related, if it is really unjustly killed, it can be a thing with his nephew who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does not pull anything!

True or false, one city and six counties in Caozhou have since returned to calm, but Li Mao knows that this calm is temporary, and a bigger storm is imminent, so he changed his plan and made Dongrong, who was dormant, act immediately to make him earn a lot of money before the storm comes!

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn of this year, Caozhou suffered a locust plague, five of the six counties were displaced again, and the peasants who broke their homes and lost their property went to eat the big households in groups, unlike last year, this year Caozhou was heavily armed, and the two armies confronted each other sharply, and no one had the psychology to suffer from the displaced people. Under this crisis, the land market in Gushan Town, which has gradually cooled down, has become hot again, and the land price has turned over and swayed upward.

Dongrong Business Inn is like a bear that has just finished hibernation, with an amazing appetite, the shopkeeper of Su Da, who has been unwilling for ten years, suddenly seems to be possessed by a god after abandoning his old business and transferring to the real estate industry. When others are exhausting the ancestral property of three generations in order to buy a piece of land, he sweeps the goods like buying cabbage, and when others think twice about buying a piece of raw land, he is cold and unscrupulous, devouring the few remaining plots of land in Gushan Town like gluttony, and the strange thing is that through his hands, no matter how cold the raw land can become hot.

Su Xuan broke out overnight, no matter how low-key he was, he also became the object of everyone's attention, and after a careful analysis, he finally found out the hand that manipulated him - Su Zhen, the famous Su Sanniang in Chengwu County, her father.

Thinking of the special relationship between Su Qing and Li Mao, the envoy of the city bureau, people were relieved, the Su family was the business leader of Chengwu County, an old girl who couldn't marry and a dowry that was not very rich, in exchange for such a rich return, this vision, this courage, and this means were really within the reach of people.

Su Xuan, who had made a fortune, suddenly announced in a high-profile manner that he was going to Luoyang to do coal business, he decisively disposed of the few very good pieces of land left in his hand, and left with a million family properties, the time was November, and the six counties in Caozhou were calm on this day.

When the cold wind was cold, Su Qing returned to his parents' home, Li Mao had already become the object of attention in Gushan Town, his every move and his family's every move had no secrets at all, careful people noticed that Su Qing left Gushan Town on the day, Li Mao did not see him off, and Li Mao had severely reprimanded Su Qing in public not long ago, prohibiting the Su family from buying land and doing business in Gushan Town, people judged that there was a rift in the relationship between the couple and the couple, and Su Sanniang was driven back to her parents' house after falling out of favor.

However, some people say that Su Qing returned to his hometown because he was pregnant, and Li Mao was busy with official business and had no time to take care of it, so he returned to his hometown to recuperate, this statement is obviously a little untenable, everyone knows that Su Qing's mother died early, there is only one old father in the family, and it is not as convenient as returning to his hometown to raise a baby in Gushan Town, so another theory has spread out, some people say that Su Qing can not have children, and is disgusted by her husband, and this time she returned to her hometown to go to Luoyang with her father to find a famous doctor.

This rumor has a nose and eyes, the two have been close for nearly half a year, people often see the couple going out for a walk side by side, which shows that they are very affectionate, but Su Qing's belly has been tight and flat without movement, and according to people close to the Li family, Li Mao and Su Qing have been sleeping in separate rooms, and he once promised Su Qing's maid Xiaoru that if he can add a man and half a woman to him, he will give Xiaoru the identity of a concubine.

Some women who had contact with Xiaoru confirmed that Xiaoru had indeed said that Li Mao would help her as a concubine, so it seems that Su Qing did go to Luoyang for treatment, and as for whether she can cure infertility, people are not optimistic. Ge Rixiu of Gushan Town, in terms of high medical skills and fame, even the Imperial Doctor Su in Caozhou City is ashamed of himself. Imperial Physician Su is the imperial doctor of the Imperial Physician's Department, and the national hand who treats the emperor's mother, how many Lang Zhong in the world can beat him?

If a miracle doctor can't cure a disease, who in Luoyang City has the ability to cure it? As soon as I thought of this, the jealousy buried in people's hearts finally disintegrated, your Su family has the ability to make a lot of money, but you don't have the ability to give birth to a son, since ancient times, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is great, you can't give birth to a son, it is a matter of time before you fall out of favor, it is not impossible to be divorced, without Li Mao as a backer, your Su family can still make a lot of money in Gushan Town in the future?

This is called the cycle of heavenly principles, justice and justice, not not repaying, the hour has not come, once the hour comes, good and evil will be rewarded.
