The end of the year is approaching, and the servants do not have the tradition of celebrating the New Year, or their New Year is not the same day as ours. The servants reclaimed their wasteland, as always. Ayinong was quite attentive to his work, and soon found a few guides for Su Ren. The people I found this time, Su Ren was very satisfied, they were all good at drilling the forest.

The servants are not old, but the Han people live quite grandly. Every family got a lot of New Year's goods from the warm water a little further away from the town, and was busy preparing for the New Year. The Wen Party actually sent people to send more than a dozen carts of things, indicating that this was prepared for the New Year of the servants, and they were all dedicated by Meng Changshi. Hearing this, everyone's hearts were like Spiegel, and Meng Ji was admitting defeat.

Su Ren was busy sending things, although the servants were only New Year's Day, these things sent should not be in vain. After the servants took the things, they knelt down and kowtowed to Su Ren, thanking Su Ren for his generosity to them. explained a few times, saying that these were too guarded, but no one believed it, and there were still people who came to kowtow to Su Ren. Su Ren didn't bother to explain.

"Simple! It's so simple! Su Ren smiled.

Lu Yi glared at Su Ren: "Be generous with other people's things, our Su Shipeng doesn't look blushing." ”

Su Ren said: "The things that are too guarded are the things of our Han people, why do you blush as a Han person doing these things?" In fact, if you take our Han people's things for no reason, you servants should be blushing, and you should really blush if you don't have merit. ”

Lu Yi had already gritted his teeth: "This is what you gave it voluntarily, we didn't ask for it." ”

"Hahaha! Don't get excited, just take it, none of us blush, isn't it good to have peace of mind? ”

The two were arguing when there was a burst of cheers from the back of the crowd. Cui Jiuming's fat body appeared in the crowd, and he was followed by more than a dozen big cars, which were full of many things. Under the cover that leaked out, you could see that there were food and daily necessities.

Su Ren smiled and looked at Lu Yi: "My face is really not red now!" ”

Lu Yi's face was already green, and he looked at Su Ren, who went to greet Cui Jiuming, and didn't know what to say.

The mighty convoy lined up, Su Ren climbed into a big car, and shouted loudly: "Folks, since you have come to Handi, that is the Han people, this is the Cui shopkeeper of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, send some New Year's goods to everyone during the New Year, express your heart, don't be too little, come and come, and then send!" ”

To change a people, you have to change their customs. If you want these servants to truly integrate into the Han Dynasty, you have to celebrate the New Year like the people of the Han Dynasty. As a descendant with thousands of years of experience, Su Ren knows this very well.

In the gratitude of the servants, Su Ren pulled Cui Jiuming into the yamen. Wiping a handful of sweat from his head, Cui Jiuming said: "But I'm tired, I can't be at home for the New Year, and I have to send things to these savages, are you sure it's necessary?" ”

As a pure businessman, Cui Jiuming's way of thinking about things is simple. It has to be profitable to do anything, but Su Ren asked him to prepare New Year's goods for the servants, and if he wanted to break his head, Cui Jiuming couldn't figure out what interest he had in this matter.

Pulled Cui Jiuming to sit down and poured a glass of water for Cui Jiuming: "This matter is not beneficial, you don't have to think about it, it's just pure sympathy." ”

"Then you still need to be in such a hurry, if I knew it was like this, I wouldn't have to be in such a hurry."

"Hehe, do things to pay attention to a timing, it is about to be the New Year, at this time it is a gift, and in a few days it will become a relief, these are completely different concepts."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, these truckloads of goods are not worth a few dollars, just do a good thing for my old Cui."

"That's right!" sat down opposite Cui Jiuming: "How is the matter of the Meng family?" ”

Cui Jiuming instantly came to his senses, and hurriedly put down the teacup: "Very good, everything is going well, since you left, the Meng family has really relaxed their vigilance, and after this year, we will be able to completely get a lot of shops from the Meng family." ”

"Keep an eye on this matter, there must be no mistakes, and it must be kept secret, if you let the Meng family smell a little, it will be a failure."

"Understand, you can rest assured! The places we started in are relatively remote, and it will be too late for the Meng family to notice it, and the people I sent are all shrewd and capable old people, so there is no problem. Cui Jiuming became more and more excited: "Your idea of surrounding the city from the countryside is really good, although the demand for goods from the households is relatively simple, but the quantity is huge, I never thought that the most profitable place is actually this village full of mountains, our salt, cloth and other daily necessities in these places are selling very well, and ......"

"Stop, stop, you're not done yet."

"Hehehe!" Cui Jiuming smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this happy?" Taking down the peripheral villages and towns will definitely be a big blow to the Meng family, you have to think about it, Meng Ji is not a good stubble, and he will definitely retaliate when the time comes. ”

"Afraid of what? If you want to make the business bigger, you have to be ruthless, since we have begun to deal with the Meng family, we can't be afraid of his retaliation, this time we need to stock up, a large number of stocking, the business war is longer than who supports it in the end, if those subordinate suppliers know our intentions, they will definitely increase the price, and it will be too late to come back at that time. ”

Cui Jiuming nodded: "By the way, when are you going to go back to Chengdu?" In case ......, I'm afraid I won't be able to cope. ”

"I won't go back, I'm going to go to Qiangdi after the New Year, I'll leave Gou Tianming to help you, and I'll leave you a hundred guards."

"Oh well! I'm going to go back and inform the other merchants so that they can prepare the goods and wait for your news. ”

After discussing all morning, Cui Jiuming had dinner at the county office. The goods brought were also distributed, and in the thousand thanks of the servants, Cui Jiuming left happily. Life in Dujiangyan has returned to peace, and every servant has received a lot of food and cloth that is most scarce, just waiting for the arrival of the Han people's New Year.

Chengdu is also peaceful, and no one talks about the Meng family and Su Ren anymore. New Year is the most important festival for the Han people, and no one wants to talk about bad things on this good day. The door of the Meng family was reopened. Although it didn't take long, it still suffocated the servants and subordinates in the house. One by one, they went to the street to buy New Year's goods, and life seemed to have returned to normal.

"Hey!" Meng Ji sighed and said to Hou Jian: "Brother Hou, I did what you said, presumably Su Ren won't be like anything else, right?" Thanks to this year, I wouldn't have been able to get out of this door. ”

Hou Jian sat quietly. Ever since he escaped from the warm water, his whole person has changed. The arrogance and arrogance of being a county lieutenant are gone, replaced by gloomy and quiet. Maybe this is Hou Jian, the real Hou Jian.

Meng Bi saw that Hou Jian ignored his father, and was a little angry: "Hou Jian, why didn't you answer my father's question?" ”

"Don't be rude, Brother Hou is your uncle, and there is no distinction between the elders!" Meng Ji hurriedly reprimanded, turned his head and smiled at Hou Jian, "Brother Hou, don't mind, this kid is spoiled by me!" ”

Hou Jian said lightly: "It's time to attack!" Su Ren said that offense is the best defense. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Have you ever seen Su Ren passively wary of anything? As far as I know, from Wenshui to here, Su Ren has always been attack-oriented, even if he can't compete with the opponent head-on, he will find another way to attack him unprepared, Liu Wen is defeated in this matter, I am also defeated in this matter, and Changshi was not defeated in this matter for a period of time? Since Changshi has been against Su Ren, there is no time to retreat, it is not impossible for you to live or die. ”

"This ......" Meng Ji hesitated: "The elder has said ......"

"Hehe, the elder was deceived by that kid, and from that kid's cheerful words, I knew that he had no good intentions!"

"Ahh No way? ”

Meng Bi hurriedly said: "It's nonsense, the elder is a person with great wisdom, how can he be deceived by a hairy boy, the elder let him keep his dog's life, it is naturally useful." ”

Hou Jian took a deep breath: "My words have been finished, what should I do Changshi and Gongzi think about themselves, if you are sure that you really want to deal with Su Ren, then hurry up, if you are ready to be safe, I suggest that Changshi give three percent of the family property, this Su Ren is still a person who keeps his promises." ”

"You!"

Without waiting for the two to say anything more, Hou Jian got up and walked out.

"Father, this Hou Jian doesn't take us seriously!"

Meng Ji waved his hand: "You also go out, let me think about it, Hou Jian's words may not be unreasonable, okay, go." ”

That night, Meng Bi hurried into his father's room, holding a thick stack of bamboo slips in his hand, and shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"Father, it's not good, something is wrong!" Meng Bi unfolded the bamboo slip: "This is the account book I just brought back from outside, this year's closing season is the time for our shops to make money, but this year's New Year's closing our shops in various places are less than half of the profits of previous years." ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Look at this, this is the account book of Sancha Town, the shops here have not sold anything at the end of the year, and the shops in hundreds of peripheral villages and towns in Yuanxing, Anren, and Shuikou are all like this."

"Shhhh......h Meng Ji suddenly remembered Hou Jian's words, and said to himself: "Didn't you say that Su Ren went to Dujiangyan, what?" ”

Meng Bi continued: "These villages and towns have reported that since October, many shops have suddenly opened in these places, and their goods and prices are better than ours, and they have already reported, but we are dealing with rumors in Chengdu, and this matter has been put down, if it weren't for the children's accounts today, they wouldn't have found out." ”

"Who owns those shops?"

Meng Bi shook his head: "It's not clear, but the child has already sent someone to investigate." ”

"Don't check, it must be the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce!" Hou Jian walked in from outside the door: "Su Ren has already started, at least forty percent of your Meng family's industry is gone!" ”

"Who let you in! We father and son don't have your part in interjecting! ”

Meng Ji hurriedly stopped Meng Bi and saluted Hou Jian: "Brother Hou, don't be weird, please sit down!" Why is Brother Hou so sure of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce? ”

Hou Jian ignored Meng Bi: "Because I know Su Ren, what he said will definitely be done, he wants you to get the Meng family's thirty percent of the industry, then you must get it, by the way, don't think about taking it back, what goes into Su Ren's pocket, as long as he doesn't want to take it back, no one can take it back, don't be unconvinced, you can try it if you don't believe it!" ”
