Xiangzhou is really a big city in Shannan East Road, and as soon as Tang Cheng, who was dusty, led Ma Gang into the city gate, he immediately felt a smell of lacquer.

After entering the city through the door hole, the first thing you see is the caravans scattered on both sides of the road, these caravans not only have Han people, but also many Hu people with peculiar hairstyles, chariots, horses, donkeys, mules, or even camels huddle together, stretching for miles on the side of the road that is still wide, and the shouting of people, coupled with the neighing of horses, and the sneezing of donkeys, make the whole street extremely noisy. Compared with the bustle of Xiangzhou in front of him, Jinzhou is really far behind.

"Good fellows! Look, my lord, almost all the shops on both sides of this road sell lacquerware," Feng Haizhou said, pointing to the shop signs floating high in the air on the street.

Tang Cheng's eyes were now falling on those shop signs, and he said with a smile: "Yes, if there is no lacquerware, how can Xiangzhou be prosperous now!" If we didn't have a big lacquerware dealer here, why would we be here? ”。

The lacquerware merchant was the purpose of Tang Cheng's visit to Xiangzhou, and it was also the object of his vision of attracting investment.

Although Xiangzhou is located in Shannan East Road, it is the largest lacquerware production and sales center in the world. "Xiangzhou people are good at lacquerware, the world takes the law, and it is called Xiangxiang", as a commonly used utensils in the daily life of the people, Xiangzhou lacquerware can be said to be marketed all over the world, not only in the inland areas of the Tang Dynasty, but also in the northern Hu tribe and the Western Regions of the Fan Kingdom, and even has a special name of "Kuluzhen".

Since the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Xiangzhou has been the center of large-scale production and sales of lacquerware, after nearly a hundred years of Chengping in this dynasty, the current Xiangzhou lacquerware industry has developed to the most prosperous period, this industry has also created a unique rich class in Xiangzhou - lacquerware merchants!

Looking at the lively scenes on both sides and the shop signs all the way to the city, Tang Cheng saw that Feng Haizhou continued to walk forward ignoring an inn on the side of the road, so he stopped him, "Haizhou, isn't this an inn, where are you going?" ”。

Xiao Er, who was welcoming guests at the door of the inn in front of him, was already smiling all over his face, and it seemed that he was about to go this way, Feng Haizhou hurriedly pulled Tang Cheng to the side and let go, "My lord, just look at the face of this inn, it must be very expensive, if we live in such an inn at this level, the yamen will not give the account." It's better to look ahead and look for the inn seriously."

"You don't know what those people in the post house are, let's live in it, I'm afraid we have to boil it ourselves if we drink hot water!" , Tang Cheng smiled and shook his hand, "Just live here, you come out with me so far, and you can still let you suffer that sin!" ”。

Tang Cheng said with a smile in his mouth, the person had already walked to the inn first, and after the smiling Xiao Er greeted him, he asked Nuan to hand over the hot hand towel handle, which was really courteous.

"Two upper rooms", after Tang Cheng handed the handkerchief back to Xiao Er, he turned his head and said to Feng Haizhou: "Look at it, this is not more comfortable than living in a post house!" Haizhou, we are here to do business this time, and if we live poorly, we will be looked down upon, and we will not save money."

When he arrived at the upper room, Haosheng freshened up again, and after washing all the dust on his face, Tang Cheng, who had settled himself comfortably, held a hot monttop stone flower and asked Xiao Er: "Which is the largest lacquerware merchant in this state?" ”。

"The Zhu family, the Zhou family", Xiao Er opened his mouth without thinking.

"That's not right", Xiao Er's answer made Tang Cheng confused, "Which line is the leader?" ”。

He also stayed in Yamen for so long, so he naturally knew that almost all the industrial and commercial departments at this time had guild organizations, rice and rice, meat and meat, and others such as noodles, cloth, iron, medicine, slaughter, fruit, and so on. One of the functions is to be responsible for regulating and supervising the transactions of the bank's "pedestrians", which can be described as a great thing in the industry. It is precisely because of the special status of the head of the line that, generally speaking, the head of a certain line in each place must be the strongest person in the industry, otherwise he will not be able to convince people.

"It's not decided yet, the two families are fighting fiercely", seeing that Tang Cheng ate two sips of tea, Xiao Er hurriedly brought a tea pot to add it to him, "The Zhu family is an old and hard foundation, and the first two generations are the leaders of the lacquerware store in Benzhou; The Zhou family has risen in the past ten years, but their momentum is too strong. Since the death of Eighth Master Zhu not long ago, there has been a vacancy in the head of the line, and the two sides have been fighting."

"Well, that's a good point", Tang Cheng took out a consistent ticket from his sleeve and skimmed it over, "Let's talk carefully, which of the two is more likely to win?" ”。

Xiao Er grabbed the ticket, and after seeing clearly that it was a neat reward, his face became more and more smiling, "Master Ke, this small one can't be said, if you talk about business alone, the old foundation of the Zhu family is harder, after all, how many years has it been." But the Zhou family didn't let go of the fire, and I don't know where they found so many master craftsmen, and the lacquerware they made was sturdy and beautiful. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Er leaned forward again, lowered his voice and said: "If you want to say that you are leaning on the back, no one will let anyone on these two sides, I heard that the Zhu family has people in the Dao Ya, and the Zhou family's ambassador Yamen on the march in Daocheng also has roots, just for this, the envoys of Benzhou are unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the new leader, otherwise, it should have been decided a long time ago."

That's a bit of a problem!

After asking for a while and asking all the news that Xiao Er knew, Tang Cheng waved his hand, "Well, okay, you can go out and get busy."

Xiao Er went out on his front foot, and Feng Haizhou, who had specially taken a shower and changed into clothes, came in from outside, "My lord, let's go, while it's still early, let's go who we should visit." Things are done early and leave early, this inn is too expensive! ”。

Tang Chengzheng was thinking about what Xiao Er had just said, but he was amused by Feng Haizhou's last sentence, "Haizhou, you are also an old official in the yamen, this inn is more expensive, so it won't be like this."

Feng Haizhou smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard this, "Because I wanted to return the money for that incident at the end of last year, I borrowed the money that my brother-in-law saved to open a wine shop, just because of this, his daughter-in-law stumbles and beats at home every day, and I am also in a hurry to repay the money."

"Why don't you tell me about this, I'll borrow you to fill in this hole first when I go back", after Tang Cheng finished speaking, he didn't allow Feng Haizhou to say anything more, so he said what Xiao Er had just said.

"According to my meaning, we should still go to the Zhu family", Feng Haizhou said after a little hesitation: "After all, they are old signboards for many years, and the foundation is thicker no matter how thick."

"Okay, just do what you said, go to the Zhu family", Tang Cheng said to go, after taking the painting scroll, he walked outside.

As a famous lacquerware family in Xiangzhou, the Zhu family is easy to find, in a huge square area, his family alone accounts for one-fifth of the area, and the house is continuous into a piece of black crows, which looks very magnificent.

With the famous thorn of "Jinzhou Prefecture Yalu Participating in the Military", Tang Cheng and the others didn't wait long in the gatehouse before they met Zhu Xiansheng, the current head of the Zhu family.

After the three of them exchanged a few words and sat down, Tang Cheng didn't wait for Zhu Xiansheng to inquire around the circle, so he spread out the map straight to the point and explained his intentions.

Listening to Tang Cheng's words, Zhu Xiansheng was stunned at first, he didn't expect that Tang Cheng, who was a state official and a member of the military, would actually talk to him about business.

As Tang Cheng said more, the expression on Zhu Xiansheng's face changed from stunned to unbelievable, your wharf must have a road to be useful, and now there is not even a shadow of the road, so you actually use the useless wharf to ask me for money, others are painting cakes to satisfy their hunger, this young and excessive Tang joined the army and actually used painting cakes to blind others, there is really such a good thing in the world?

Suddenly, Zhu Xiansheng felt angry and funny, and he became more and more suspicious of Tang Cheng's identity, not only because Tang Cheng's performance was a "clumsy deception" in his opinion. What's more, because Zhu Xiansheng didn't believe that such a young record would join the military when he saw Tang Cheng just now.

Who has ever seen a state government officer who is less than 20 years old join the military? Don't talk about seeing it, all the states in the south of the mountain have inquired about it, but I haven't heard of it.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was reasonable, Zhu Xiansheng's face became lighter and lighter, and after listening to a few words roughly, he didn't care about what Tang Cheng said later.

After noticing the change in Zhu Xiansheng's face, Tang Cheng stopped his words, "Mr. Zhu is not interested in what I said?" ”。

"A certain person is doing economic business, and businessmen pay attention to paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other, and they are really not interested in the mansions in the air", Zhu Xiansheng looked at Tang Cheng with a lot of amusement, "Speaking of which, what interests me is when did the Jinzhou Prefecture have such a young record to join the army?" When he said this, Zhu Xiansheng's face had completely sunk, "I advise you two, if you are short of money, you can say it bluntly, if you have other thoughts, then you are in the wrong place."

As soon as he said this, Tang Cheng's face immediately changed, and he wasted so many tongues, in Zhu Xiansheng's eyes, he turned out to be a cheater called Huazi!

Tang Cheng patted Feng Haizhou, who was about to speak after the sudden change in his face, and slowly rolled up the scroll, while looking at Zhu Xiansheng and smiled slightly: "Since Mr. Zhu is interested in the truth of my identity, why don't you report to the official to try it?" According to Tang law, pretending to be an official of the court to deceive is a very serious crime! ”。

Zhu Xiansheng didn't expect Tang Cheng to say such a thing, this was exactly what he wanted to say next.

Looking at Zhu Xiansheng, who couldn't react for a while, Tang Cheng turned sideways and said to Feng Haizhou with a smile: "Haizhou, in fact, I also have something I am interested in."

Feng Haizhou glanced at Zhu Xiansheng and asked very cooperatively, "What are you interested in?" ”。

"What I'm interested in is why the hundred-year-old Zhu family has been in the river since the eighth grandfather Zhu went, and now it can't even keep the first son of the line that has been passed down for several generations", at this point, Tang Cheng turned his head and smiled at Zhu Xiansheng, whose face was blue, and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Zhu can solve the doubts in my chest for me."

"You...... Zhu Xiansheng, who was up with the shooting, greeted him, and several family members rushed in from outside, "Come on, tie them up for me."

"People will humiliate themselves, and then others will humiliate them", seeing that those few family members hugged over menacingly, Tang Cheng "snapped" and dropped the tea cup in his hand, stood up and shouted: "Who dares!" ”。

Those few family members were forced to eat his loud shouts and momentum, and they were all at the same time.

After drinking those few family members, Tang Cheng's face returned to normal, and he even smiled at Zhu Xiansheng, "Zhu Da Shangjia, it is a felony to pretend to be a court official, but it is a felony to dare to slander a court official with a cāo businessman's cheap business!" I'll have to say that before, and don't blame me for being unpredictable."

"It's up to you to ......."

"I have an official document signed by Lord Yu himself, of course I don't know you as a businessman", Tang Cheng took a step forward, "Why don't we ask Xiangzhou Wang Fucheng to verify the authenticity?" ”。

The observation envoy Yu Dongjun has just taken office, and he has not stayed much in Daocheng, and it is far from being known to everyone, and there are even fewer people who know the words of the envoy in Benzhou, and they are all accurate by Tang Cheng in front of him...... Zhu Xiansheng was a little unsure for a while.

Those few family members were taken away by Tang Cheng's words and momentum, and after stopping their steps, they looked at Tang Cheng, and then turned their heads to look at their master, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhu Xiansheng's mind was as anxious as electricity, but he couldn't make up his mind, it was easy to tie people up, if this Tang Cheng was true, the aftermath would be troublesome, and listen to the meaning of his words, this is still on the order of the observation envoy in Xiangzhou, this is ...... Although his mind changed rapidly, the more he turned, the more Zhu Xiansheng couldn't make up his mind, but he couldn't swallow this breath, and his face was blue and red for a while.

"Since Mr. Zhu has no intention of keeping guests, Haizhou, let's go", seeing Zhu Xiansheng like this, Tang Cheng, who had put away the painting scroll, smiled, and walked leisurely through the middle of those families with his negative hand.

Seeing Tang Cheng walk out of the main hall and out of the door, Zhu Xiansheng's face changed sharply again, and his hand raised several times finally fell gloomically......

………… ………… …………

Out of the gate of the Zhu family, Feng Haizhou suddenly exhaled, "It's so dangerous."

"What's the danger, this is a peaceful year, Haizhou, are you still afraid that he will be black, can't we do it? Zhu Xiansheng is just a mediocre person, he acts suspiciously but does not know how to seek verification, he is rash to speak lightly, lightly and indecisively, such a gentle and hesitant person, even if he has the courage to do such a thing! Tang Cheng also looked back at the Zhu family's mansion with Feng Haizhou, "When I came, I thought this house was magnificent, but now when I look at it, I feel that it smells of decay." From today's point of view, the position of the head of the Xiangzhou lacquerware industry must be obtained by the Zhou family."

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he couldn't hear Feng Haizhou's words, "Haizhou, what's wrong?" ”。

"Not much", Feng Haizhou's face was a little strange, "I just didn't expect that adults look very young, but they are ...... when they see things."

seemed to feel that the latter words were sycophant, Feng Haizhou smiled and didn't continue, and changed the topic and said, "My lord, you were a little impulsive just now."

"You naturally have to endure it when you should endure it, but you must not endure it when you shouldn't", Tang Cheng chuckled, "We are the God of Wealth who came to send him money, why should the God of Wealth be wronged?" ”。

"My lord, where are we going now?"

Originally, it was a choice between two options, but now the trouble is solved", Tang Cheng checked the painting shaft in his hand and said: "Go, I will go to Zhou Jun."
