"Jiangxia Commercial Bank? ……”

Ming Zifu touched his beard and listened to Ming Quan mention the matter.

Mingquan also nodded heavily after Ming Zifu raised his questions, and said: "Uncle, it is the banner of Jiangxia County Government that has bought a house in the southeast of Xiangcheng, with nearly 100 people in it, and there are more than a dozen carts alone. ”

Speaking of this, Mingquan also further lowered his voice and said: "Uncle, Jiang Xia made trouble with this trading house, and it will not be a small ......."

"Hmm." Ming Zifu nodded, but he somewhat understood Lin Yuyan's situation, and explained to Ming Quan: "Although Jiangxia does not have no harvest this year, but after all, there is not much grain, and it is not surprising that Gongzi Yan is active and does this businessman's thing, otherwise he would not be willing to trade 500,000 stone of grain with Nanjun with the [Twenty Forging] armament of 3,000 people...... If it is convenient, it is not always necessary to give Gongziyan's people some convenience. ”

Hearing this, Mingquan nodded, understanding what his uncle Mingzifu said, and then said: "Nephew take care of this matter and try to give some convenience......"

"Merchant ......"

Ming Zifu shook his head, and he smiled, but he didn't expect that today's words of "giving Gongziyan some convenience" would regret it in the future!

At the headquarters of the Jiangxia Commercial Bank in Xiangcheng, Huang Quan had already come in person, and the person who was originally in charge of this place was a merchant in the area of Zhuji of Hanshui in the past, named Zhu Kao.

Zhu Kao stepped forward and said to Huang Quan: "My lord, this is the map of the twenty-seven counties north of Nanjun Chushui, and the manpower of each county has been dispatched, so only these people are left in the Xiangcheng headquarters......

"Okay, good......" Huang Quan knew that the businessman was unprofitable, but he didn't expect that because of the pursuit of profit, this Zhu Kao would act so quickly, and he immediately did not hesitate to praise Zhu Kao: "Your Highness has deployed nearly 1,000 people for the Jiangxia Commercial Bank here in Nanjun for you to drive, if Nanjun does a good job, His Royal Highness will not allow you to be treated as a justifiable [Thousand Generals]!" ”

Sure enough, Huang Quan's words made Zhu Kao look overjoyed, and he immediately said gratefully: "Do you dare to do your best for Your Highness?" ”

Huang Quan also nodded, and then asked: "This matter is not small, although it is low-key, it must be known by the government here in Nanjun, how do they react?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Kao smiled at Huang Quan and said, "This matter is surprisingly smooth!" My lord, the Nanjun government has taken a lot of care of us, and even the county orders around Xiangcheng have come to help ......."

"His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan once led the army to defeat the Shouwang army that occupied Xiangcheng, and the people of Xiangcheng still know this kindness, but ......" Huang Quan also frowned slightly, and seemed to have some scruples and said: "I'm afraid that this matter is still a little bit unbeknownst to the Duke of Ming, as His Royal Highness said, this Lord Ming is really a gentleman's character, but in this way, we have to care about the appearance of the Jiangxia Commercial House......"

Listening to Huang Quan's words, Zhu Kao was much relieved, after all, as far as businessmen are concerned, the rich do not fight with officials, but this Lord Huang Quan is a little big-hearted.

At present, this attitude of maintaining good cooperation with the Nanjun government is still the most favorable situation.

Huang Quan naturally understood this truth, and immediately complained about it, and then led the conversation to the topic: "This time I came, I also brought businessmen and servants, including many battle-hardened veterans in the Yunmeng Army, and it is never a problem to deal with ordinary thieves!" ”

"That's right, the Jiangxia merchant in Nanjun is really a little stretched, and it is definitely not enough to separate people and horses as business subordinates, with these horses brought by adults, this matter can definitely be carried out smoothly!"

"Since you have confidence, His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan is very concerned about this matter, and even the goods transported by Jiangxia are all escorted to Jiangxia by General Ji Jia personally led by the soldiers of the Yunmeng Army to Jiangxia County, as for the rest of the journey, you can only rely on the merchants and horses here in Nanjun."

Zhu Kao nodded and said: "I should do my best in this matter, and I also ask Lord Huang Quan to tell His Highness that these two days are the days when the grain in Nanjun is in the warehouse, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, the goods will be picked up from Jiangxia and immediately transferred to various counties. ”

"Haha, that's it!" Listening to Zhu Kao's words, Huang Quan also laughed a few times, and then said: "In this case, this matter is handed over to you to take care of, if you need assistance, even if you can send a message, even His Royal Highness wants to see what Lord Ming's expression is like when he learns that he is making a wedding dress for others!" ”

When Zhu Kao heard this, he also smiled and nodded on the side.

It was in these few days, because although the Nanjun government learned about some of the movements of the Jiangxia Commercial Bank, Ming Zifu did not pay attention to it after all, after all, in his opinion, this is already a desperate way for Gongziyan to think of, and it is precisely because of this that Ming Zifu also instructed the Nanjun government to give Jiangxia Commercial Bank some convenience as much as possible in some matters.

Therefore, Zhu Kao seized the opportunity that the Nanjun government had not yet reacted, quickly organized people from all over the country, and even did not hesitate to use grain to requisition the people from all over the country, and began to pick up the goods from the border between Jiangxia and Nanjun, still from the area of the county.

These days are the time when the autumn grain enters the warehouse, the imperial court has completed the collection of taxes, and the people have begun to transport the grain harvested in the autumn of this year back to the granary at home.

As a commonplace, Ming Zifu naturally focuses on taxation, so after carefully inspecting the tax account books handed in by various places, he felt that there was no difference, and he was sealed in a box.

Mingquan also said on the side: "Uncle, the income of this year's private land is indeed more than a few percent lower than that of Nanyang, and the main grain is still collected from the public land of Nanjun. ”

"Well...... Ming Zifu nodded and said: "Don't compete with the people for profit, but the nature of the official, moreover, the old system of Shanglin Yuan, but enough to donate 800,000 stone grain, a family to hide grain in the people, in the future, there will be a war in Nanjun, Xiangcheng soldiers and the people of Nanjun are all thinking about their family property, not to do their best, is the time, the soldiers are brave and fighting, the people are enthusiastic to donate food, isn't it the army and the people are united, united as one?!" ”

Mingquan accepted it quickly, and nodded: "Nephew understands......"

Ming Zifu casually asked in his spare time: "What happened to Gongziyan's Jiangxia trading house?" ”

Mingquan replied: "Although the people of Jiangxia Commercial Bank have been traveling in the counties of Nanjun these days, and there are a lot of businessmen walking the streets and alleys, they have not made much noise......
