"How's the harvest going in the South this year?"

"You have to ask Duke Xu, most of the grain is going to enter their Xu family's grain depot, as long as their Xu family has grain, my south will be stable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Hehe, Old Man Mu, what are you talking about? Shang Lao's harvest is not only about grain, your Mou family's cloth mills in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but you control the cloth in the south of the Yangtze River, if you say a word, I'm afraid we will be useless. ”

A few old people in the house can now be said to control the lifeblood of the south, and the words of the old people in the room have determined the trade circulation of several state capitals for a year, and also decided the clothing, food, housing and transportation of tens of thousands of people.

Shang Xue laughed with a few people, and suddenly his face changed, "But I heard that Fang La is also doing well there, even the Fran and a few people have already gone ashore, but I don't know what a few people think." ”

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and the faces of several old people changed, "Shang Lao is really good at laughing, what does Fang La have to do with us, we are all businessmen, we can only do business, and we don't know anything else." Chen Deyu, who spoke, smiled, and gestured around with his eyes, and several people even claimed to be, Shang Xue smiled randomly, "Hehe, it's just a joke, look at you guys nervous, the prince's mansion has been taken care of by the southern families in recent years, and the prince also knows your difficulties, Fang La is not the same as Tian Hu, and it has been very peaceful in recent years, even if you have something to do with it, it's not a big deal." ”

"Shang Lao, this is really a joke, Fang La is a thief, but he occupies the land of the southern projectile, how can he be compared with my Hua Dynasty, in my heart, I naturally think of the prince, or my Dahua Dynasty, I will never collude with the thief for the sake of petty profits, please rest assured, please also ask the prince to be clear." In the end, Chen Deyu was about to kneel, Shang Xue hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the other party, with blame in his tone, "What are you doing?" How many years of friendship, but just kidding, you are so serious? ”

Several people in the room also followed suit, and only then did they both sit in their seats.

Shang Xue looked at the few people in front of him, "This is also my fault, you take care of it." His tone was sincere, and the people around him didn't say anything, after all, the other party was the prince's teacher, and his status was also special for them.

"But I do have something I need your help with."

"It's okay to say it's old, we should do our best." Chen Deyu also stabilized his mood and looked at Shang Lao opposite.

"It's not a big deal, the young man who came with me just now is a little friend who has known me for many years, and recently wants to do some business in the south, I don't know if you can take care of it." This time, there were smiles on the faces of several old people, "Shang Lao's little friend is also our friend, but I don't know what kind of business we are doing, so we can also order us to go down and make some arrangements." ”

Shang Xue smiled, "I really don't know much about this, but I think everyone should have heard of Hong Ji's name." ”

Everyone in the room suddenly quieted down again, although several people were doing business in the south, but what happened in the north, they naturally knew that all the attention outside just now was on Shang Xue and Yuan Shanshan, and they didn't notice Li Huai, and now listening to Shang Xue's words, they immediately reacted.

"Are you talking about the Li family's Hong Ji? Haven't they always been in the north? How? The old man of the Xu family looked a little strange, in fact, Hong Ji he knew best, the original food voice, they had cooperated, sold a lot of grain from the south, and naturally looked at the face of the prince's mansion at the beginning, and it was exactly like this, he still had some understanding of the operation of Hong Ji, plus what happened later there was Hong Ji's figure, he paid more attention to the other party, but now he knew from Shang Lao's mouth that the other party intended to settle in the south, and his heart was naturally a little surprised and uneasy.

"Does Xu Lao know?" Shang Xue smiled, "They have always been in the north, but recently this business has reached a bottleneck, so they want to expand the southern regions, but they have not been able to get the essentials, I am also troublesome, I want to help him, but I don't know if you can sell me a face." ”

Chen Deyu was thoughtful, a few old people in the house didn't dare to say anything, Hong Ji settled in the south, if it was really just a business matter, it would be fine, but this Hong Ji was clearly an extension of the internal guard, and it was also the business of the Li family, which even faintly even had the interests of the old man, just one of them, they already had to let them think about it, not to mention that the three of them faced it together, and what made them hesitate the most was Shang Xue's appearance, for many years he has represented the prince's mansion, except for Qian Qianyi, They took his words as the meaning of the prince.

Chen Deyu pondered for a moment and looked at each other solemnly, "Lao Shang, you and I have been friends for many years, the Shang family, the Chen family, the Qian family, the Xu family, the Mu family, we have always been in the same spirit, we are not satisfied with you in the south, you should also give us an explanation, is this matter your intention alone, or the meaning of the prince's mansion?" Chen Deyu asked directly, but also wanted to make things clear, once there is a change in the back, this responsibility can also be directly pushed to the other party.

Shang Xue smiled, "I'll go to the prince's place, don't worry." ”

Chen Deyu nodded and asked again, "Are you going to move Fang La?" ”

The Li family defeated Tian Hu in the northwest, and Liangshan was edicted by the imperial court, and now it is Fang La who can make things happen, he is also worried that the imperial court will start another war in the south, and it is normal to ask this, several old people in the house are looking over, their lives are in the south, if there is a slight turmoil, it will be a catastrophe.

"You can rest assured, now the Xia Dynasty is still eyeing the tiger, and Yuanmeng also has the intention of snooping, the imperial court naturally hopes to have a stable situation, and there will be no more military incidents in the short term."

"But we've already heard that the prince intends to form a new army, and these hundreds of thousands of people and horses want to eat and drink, so they can't just be raised?" Xu Taihe, who spoke, was in the grain business, and he was also the most sensitive to military disasters, and his face was full of worry at the moment, "Is this Li family also ......?"

"Don't think about it, the matter of the new army can't be decided in a day or two, and now it's just a matter of talking about it in the imperial court." Shang Xue looked at the few people in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Even if you really want to form a new army, it's just a matter of integrating the local stragglers, in my opinion, it's a good business opportunity, asking for money and food, isn't it exactly what you want?" ”

"Hahaha." Several old people in the house laughed, and the worries in their hearts were swept away, and at this moment, the sound in the courtyard became louder and louder, as if there was a quarrel, at this time, someone came in from outside the house, walked into Chen Deyu's ear and said a few words, the old man's face sank, and he said indignantly: "Things that don't grow." ”
