"Zhang You, Zhang Zicheng?" Hearing this name again, Xu Wei couldn't help frowning, he rarely paid attention to political affairs, but he still felt that this name was very familiar, rolled his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly slapped his forehead and scolded with a smile: "Qu Sang, who was born by the little lady, is so arrogant and bold, it's this kid who has been making trouble for a long time, yes, isn't it because of this Zhang Zicheng that Qi Yuanjing escaped death this time, it turned out to be such a New Year's friend." ”

Over there, Shen Shide had already knelt in front of Zhang You with a sweat, and he finally understood why Shen Shiji, the concubine next to him, suddenly became bolder, and it turned out that he had such a big backer. That's right, the Jiangnan family all uses Zhang You as an enemy, but so what? As long as he wants, he can still destroy a big family, such as the Shen family, just like the original richest man in Jiangnan, Shen Wansan, was tormented by Taizu's family.

If you don't understand this truth, sooner or later, you will be taught by this truth and lose your life.

Fortunately, Shen Shide understands that the quality of the second generation of Shang is generally higher than that of the second generation of officials, especially those who have been in business for generations, who can afford to mess with and who they can't mess with, they already know it from a very young age.

Zhang You turned around and glanced at Xu Wei with some coquettishness, but saw him looking at himself with a smile, looking teasing, suddenly bored, turned around, and personally stretched out his hand to help Shen Shide up: "Those who don't know are not guilty, Shen Dashao hurry up, this official came all the way from Nanjing, mainly to see Ling Zun, but the previous boss of the Shen family was not inferior, so he was punished a little, in fact, there was no intention of targeting the nobles." ”

"Lord Zhang is magnanimous and approachable, Shen admires, Lord Shicai said that he came to see the family, I don't know ......" Shen Shide got up obediently and asked.

"Come on, come on, don't fight, don't know each other, let's go into the house and say," Zhang You grabbed Shen Shide's arm and let him go, looked at the men behind him again, and said with a smile: "As for these people, Brother Shen shouldn't be afraid of what I will do to you, right?" ”

"Don't call it that, my lord, Shen is ashamed to be a ......" Shen Shide said modestly, and turned back to order those men: "Go back, Shizhen, you go back to the third uncle to get twenty whips, and then think about it behind closed doors, without my order, you are not allowed to go out for half a step, can you hear it?" ”

Shen Shizhen also followed, as early as when Shen Shide knelt down for Zhang You, he knew that he had kicked the iron plate, he didn't dare to resist when he heard the words, he lowered his head in frustration, and said to Shen Shiji: "Second brother, it was the eldest brother just now, for the sake of one of our fathers, don't be like me." With that, he turned and walked towards the gate.

"Big brother go slowly, anyway, you just said that you want to get my mother out, so send her old man to me, I am a son, and I haven't done much filial piety." Shen Shiji said loudly. His mother is a concubine, and he is always bullied on weekdays, and he has long had the heart to take it out with him, but the lady of the main room does not allow it, and he has always been resentful to this day, and now he finally has a chance.

Shen Shizhen stopped and turned around, raised his hand and slapped himself: "Second brother, is the eldest brother wrong?" Big brother was playing with you just now, don't worry, I'll send my aunt to you when I go back, don't you hold a grudge against big brother? ”

The situation of the two brothers reversed, but the concubine had the upper hand, and Xu Wei was secretly relieved in the distance, but Zhang You had no intention of listening again, dragged Shen Shide into the hall, sat down on his own, motioned for him to sit down, and ordered the Zhang family who followed in to make tea, and then smiled and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the concubine is different, this matter does not violate the terms, but I am friends with Shen Shiji, and I can help, so I naturally want to vent for him, Brother Shen won't blame me for meddling in your family affairs, right?" ”

In recent years, the concept of clan is particularly strong, especially on the Jiangnan side, often the orders of the patriarch are better than the orders of the government, Zhang You is willing to cooperate, and naturally he is not willing to offend the Shen family in such a trivial matter.

"The adults laughed, Shizhen and his mother are indeed a little bit different, my father has said it a few times, but after all, it is far away, it is not a big mistake, and it is not easy to say deeply. It's Shiji's good fortune that he actually met a friend like an adult, and Shen was a little jealous. ”

"What is there to be jealous of? I'm the best person to get along with, as long as Brother Shen is willing, we can also be friends. ”

Okay, finally to the point.

Shen Shide felt a little in his heart and said: "Being able to be friends with adults is naturally something that Shen and the Shen family can't ask for, but I don't dare to hide it, if I come here to trade at sea, Shen can only disappoint the adults." ”

Zhang You has learned the details of the sea trade, all the business is controlled by Wei Guogong, Xu Jie, Wang Chengxun, Xu Dengying, of which Xu Dengying only accounts for a small share, all the merchants want to go to sea trade, at least one of them needs to agree, otherwise, don't think about going to sea at all, and the Shen family relies on Xu Dengying.

Shen Shide's honesty made him a little impressed, and said with a smile: "Yes, I hate beating around the bush the most, your Shen family is attached to Xu Dengying, the Jiangnan family is connected to each other, ironclad, and iron-hearted to wrestle with His Majesty in the matter of going to sea for trade, I understand this, of course I will not force you." ”

Shen Shide took a long breath and smiled awkwardly: "This matter is all a decision from above, my family is in business, and I can't make up my mind, please forgive me." ”

"Well," Zhang You nodded and said, "So, I don't want you to betray me, I just want to do business with you, anyway, you also go to sea to trade, and it just so happens that there are things I need overseas, I will pay for them, and you will help me get things, and everyone will take what they need." ”

Shen Shide completely relieved his mind and said: "This is much simpler, this master Shen can do it, as long as you can find what the adult needs, you can bring it back to you, but I don't know ...... adult?" ”

"Rubber and morphine, for the time being, you may have heard of these two things, native to the Americas, well, that is, America, the Spaniards should have dealings with them, our Ming fleet should not have reached there yet."

Shen Shide was as surprised as Shen Shiji at the beginning, and said, "Adults know a lot of things? ”

At this point, Zhang You was not modest, and said: "I'm really not bragging to you, don't look at you as overseas trade, when it comes to this kind of thing, tying you all together may not be as much as I know...... I know you don't believe it, but slowly you'll know, now let's talk about another business, I didn't think about it originally, but I only remembered it after meeting you. ”

"Oh? What business? Shen Shide asked curiously.
