Chapter 42: Undercurrents

Wen Zhongfa was also born in a broken household, his parents died early, and he took the road of a thug, this person is flexible and scheming, and he is the kind of clever person who can't suffer losses.

Yang Qiu scolded with a smile, and said that he would wait for him to hold a wine banquet when he was in the castle, so that he could eat two glasses of wine.

The two laughed for a while, and the horse was also set, and after Yang Qiu got on the horse, he remembered to say to Liu Dequan: "Dequan, why are you silent?" ”

Liu Dequan snorted coldly and said: "I think about working hard every day and being controlled by others, it's really better to be happy when I am a tiger." ”

"What's the fun?" Wen Zhong said: "If you are hungry and full, you finally get a few taels of silver, and you have to lose your conscience to harm people, and you have to send more than half of the silver to the head of the group, Lao Liu, you fucking drank this morning, right?" ”

Liu Dequan glared at Wen Zhongfa and continued: "It's more bitter to be a tiger, if you tie up with the people in the yamen and get up by yourself, isn't it much stronger than now?" ”

Yang Qiu smiled and said, "Didn't we have no way out at that time, so we voted for the proprietor." ”

"Now that we have a name, we have silver, and we have many brothers, so it's really better to mess around with ourselves."

Yang Qiu smiled, looked at Liu Dequan, and said in a low voice: "No one is covered, you are dreaming." The young proprietor is behind the Zhang family in Puzhou, and there are a few big Buddhas pressing the position, otherwise, do you think that our dart masters are beating people everywhere to grab territory, it is so easy? Ordinary people, the government has already taken people. ”

How much does the account bureau business make, no one knows except Zhang Han himself, what the dart masters can calculate is the business of the mule and horse shop, now there are hundreds of big cars, and go to a thousand, and Yusheng's car is good, there are many mules and horses, the service is good, and there are many branches, the mule and horse shop has been crowded with other businesses in the fort are almost all closed, the cars and horses in the line have rarely rested, the daily carts are sent to the light, the short-range is more, and the long-distance ones are also a lot, and the line to Zhangjiakou is opened, almost every day there are small two hundred and two cars to Zhangjiakou, There is more business than Datong, the number of cars and horses is far from enough, how many trips a day, how much cost, how much personnel expenses, although this is a secret, roughly calculated, Yang Qiu estimates, mules and horses can earn at least a thousand taels per month, this is of course underestimated, but with this human and financial resources, in order to supply those Buddhas, the greater the power, the more people dare not move, the more land they grab, the more business.

This is a virtuous circle, Zhang Han, the young proprietor, has a good vision, a strong wrist, and seized the opportunity, even if some big families have the heart to do this, they have to face the situation of being pressed by the giant of Heyusheng, and they have to find a way to grab the route, this kind of thing is too laborious, and the income is not high, and it will not be cost-effective to think about it.

After listening to Yang Qiu's words, Liu Dequan smiled and said: "What people are staring at is not necessarily mules and horses, the water here is very deep, Yang Tou'er, we have a friendship, we don't talk much, when the time comes, we have something to advance and retreat together, how about it?" ”

Yang Qiu stared at Liu Dequan, smiled "poof", and said, "You kid also have a day of trickery?" Cheng, if you don't say it all, I'll just listen to it, and when you explain it to me one day, we'll discuss it again. ”

Liu Dequan did have a lot of plans, but now they are just a little bit on the other side, and Wen Zhongfa is also a seven-trick and exquisite, Liu Dequan didn't believe him, and he smiled at the moment, but he didn't say anything anymore.

"Let's go!" Yang Qiu waved his horsewhip, but his face was still full of spirit: "With other people's jobs, we have to work for others and go to Tianchengwei!" ”

……

"Proprietor, please be seated."

Li Mingda diligently moved the chair, and after Fan Yongdou sat down, he personally served the bowl, and the excellent Ji'an white tea brewed in it was fragrant.

The weather in the fifth month of the lunar calendar already has a feeling of early summer, Fan Yongdou came all the way, his hat and clothes were dusty, and the collar was still stained with ears of wheat, he didn't mind, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "How is it these days, is the grain collection here in Xinpingbao still smooth?" ”

Li Mingda bowed down and said: "It was quite smooth earlier, and later He Yusheng also collected grain in various places, and the price of grain was two cents higher than ours, and those small grain merchants and mud legs were all in a hurry, and we have already collected at least 30,000 stone here, and further down, we will collect a lot less." ”

Fan Yongdou frowned and said: "This is just you, there are Zhenmen Fort, Shoukou Fort, Jinglu Fort, all the way to Zhenbian Fort, Desheng Fort, Zhenqiang Eight Forts, and then to Yanghe Acropolis, Tiancheng Acropolis, Zhenyu Acropolis, Ulzhou Those counties, one is unstable and unstable everywhere, I have come all the way, and the grain collection in various places is less than seventy percent of the previous years, and Yusheng has set up at least twenty points to collect grain, that little Zhang Han, I really underestimated him. ”

Li Mingda didn't dare to speak out, last year the proprietor saw Zhang Han, praised it, but also concluded that he and Yusheng wanted to cross, but the result and Yusheng not only did not cross, but the rapid development in the past half a year made many people staggered.

Almost inadvertently, the scale of He Yusheng has expanded hundreds of times, and it used to be just a medium-sized business in Xinpingbao, but now it has become a first-class big business, and the scale is only inferior to a few such as the Fan family and the Kang family, and who can be sure that after a few years, the Zhang family of He Yusheng will not become the existence of the Fan family and the Kang family in the Jin merchants?

If you go to the next level, maybe Zhang Han can restore the glory of the Zhang family in Puzhou...... You must know that when Zhang Siwei's father and son were there, the Zhang family in Puzhou was the leader of all the Jin merchants!

Thinking of this, Li Mingda smiled to himself and shook his head slightly: "I'm really old, I think too much......"

"You don't have to worry too much about this, someone has already made trouble for He Yusheng."

Fan Yongdou is always unflustered when he encounters trouble, and he has always been a calm appearance with Zhizhu in his hands. Indeed, with his current status and identity, it is unnecessary to be angry with a posterity, for so many years, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi, Yansui, where does he not have a layout? Up to the governor, the eunuchs in the capital, the chief soldiers, the deputy generals, those local snakes in various places, where did the Fan family not get it? Just these connections, how many years will it take Zhang Han to catch up? What the Fan family lacks is the contact to the outside of the Guan, those Tartar nobles The Fan family has never dealt with, and at present, Fan Yongdou has seen that the Liao affairs are together, and the business routes outside the Saiwai will be greatly affected, and then it will be a good opportunity to make money.

Due to his life experience and vision, Fan Yongdou really didn't expect to do business with the Jurchens at this time, and to the current layout, he still focuses on the Mongols.

In this regard, what Fan Yongdou didn't know was that Zhang Han was already too far ahead of him.

"What the proprietor is talking about is Tianchengwei's palm print commander Zhang Wuchang Zhang?"

"Yes."

Fan Yongdou nodded slightly and said: "The Zhang family may not buy the Ma family's account, we can't do it directly, and he won't have any trouble and scruples to do it." ”

"The proprietor must have done his part."

"Not really." Fan Yongdou's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "If you don't fight a snake, you can't fight, Zhang Wuchang is great and adds some blockage to He Yusheng, it's nothing." Our family also has to set up an account bureau, if Zhang Han is here, I'm afraid that I won't be able to compete with him. Last time, you talked about the appointment with the surnamed Zhou, you have the opportunity to do it. ”

Li Mingda nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, the proprietor is secretly in contact, only that Zhang Han is in the fort every day, as long as he moves, he will do it over there." ”

Fan Yongdou said quietly: "There won't be any mistakes, right?" ”

"Definitely not." Li Mingda smiled proudly and said, "I've been in the mountains for many years, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do this well." ”

"That'll be fine." Fan Yongdou leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes comfortably.

……

"Zhang's family?"

Yang Qiu, who was dusty, stood in front of Zhang Han, but there was no unsteady and slippery expression on his face, replaced by calmness and a touch of ruthlessness that was not easy to see.

There was such a person in front of him, and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a little, but Zhang Han ignored it, just sat and groaned.

This is his official room on the side of the account bureau, there are few people here, quiet, heavily guarded, more than 20 dart masters are transferred to take turns here every month, and the idle people don't say close to here, even the gate can't be close. Zhang Han likes to meet people here, and when he thinks about things, he walks behind his back between the heavy silver vaults, the thick and tall houses of all brick and tile, and most of them are still empty, and every time Zhang Han slips around, he thinks about when to fill these houses.

"Zhang's ...... That's right. On the surface, there are more than a dozen grain stores, and the most powerful is Ma Chaoren, Jiang Dalin, Zhang Yanhong, the proprietors of these big grain stores, standing behind them is the palm print commander Zhang Wuchang, his family is Yulin Weiren, his uncle is called Zhang Chen, successively served as the chief soldier of the four towns, his son Zhang Chengyin, the current Guangning chief military officer, grandson Zhang Quanchang, is the deputy chief soldier of our Yang and Lu, and Zhang Yingchang, now the general of Lingzhou, Zhang Dechang, as a guerrilla in Jizhen, this Zhang Wuchang is a worthless one, and he is also a palm print commander, and he is a military attache of the third grade. ”

This time, Yang Qiu inquired in great detail, and Zhang Han also frowned when he listened.

Yang and deputy chief soldier Zhang Quanchang he also went to the house, of course, did not see anyone, only left two hundred silver and red seal worship post at the head of the door, did not notice anything abnormal at the time, now it seems that this matter from planning to launch, there must be a short time, there are quite a lot of joints, in other words, water, very deep, palm print command is nothing, the command position of the guard is not high, the power is not heavy, the three-grade military attache can not play prestige in front of a person, and when encountering a strong state and county civil official, he has to perform the official ceremony, otherwise he is likely to be impeached by the civil official, and the military is corrected by the text, Those soldiers on the road are divided into patrol roads and then patrol presses, they must be on the side of civilian officials, the unlucky ones can only be military attachΓ©s, there are no soldiers in their hands, their waists are not hard, and a palm print command can raise a dozen or so family members at most, this strength is not enough to be a sentry officer in the border army, dare to command people to move and Yusheng, Zhang Wuchang relies on of course the family back, Jing-

At the beginning of the new week, I still have to ask everyone to support, vote more, and if you think it's still successful, please click on the collection, and I'm here to thank you.

Two more questions.

There is a reader who has a lot of opinions about the national outlook written in my book, so let me ask you, what is the national outlook and historical outlook of a person who does not read books and does not use the Internet under orthodox education? Should you write a book gradually, or should you slowly reveal some facts? Besides, if modern people don't talk about integration, can they say slaughter? The progressive view of history is to comment on the predecessors from the point of view of later generations, different mountains sing different mountain songs, through step by step, and really integrate into the general environment at that time, the reader gives me the feeling that it is not very mature and stable, I want to say it here, I hope you can understand that the characters in the book are also to grow gradually.

In addition, the appearance of Fat Jinlian is because I was watching the history of Confucianism at the time, and my friends who have seen it know that there is a similar character in it, and I just need a hostage to the Beiyu, so this character appeared, please don't care.
