Chapter 288: Lieutenant

"Why isn't there anybody?" The big Deheng in front of Fan Yongdou was really cold in front of the door. The sound of firecrackers and the opening ceremony just now did attract some people, but ten out of ten people came to see the excitement, and few of the hundreds or thousands of people entered the store to discuss business, and the shopkeeper and the guys in the store were standing at the door to greet customers, their faces were smiling, and they didn't let a few people in.

A few businessmen went in, negotiated the contract to bring the silver to Datong very happily, received half of the vouchers, paid the fee in advance, and left.

Even Fan Yongdou, who had just arrived at Xinpingbao, could see that these people were nurseries, not to mention the onlookers nearby, people's faces showed disdain, and some people whispered, and those "businessmen" squeezed out of the crowd when they went out, and hurriedly trotted away.

"Why is Da Deheng's business so bad?"

Fan Yongdou, who was far away in Zhangjiakou, heard that Datong and several important places where business was thriving had opened a branch of the account bureau, and Fan Yongdou came here on purpose, but what he saw was like this.

"It's not just Xinping Castle." A person next to him didn't know Fan Yongdou, pouted on the side, and said in a sneering tone: "Who doesn't know that this is opened by Governor Han in the back, who dares to deposit silver to his house?" ”

"Why don't you dare, the governor of the family can still rely on the silver, don't you want a reputation?"

"To be famous? How can you use this method to do business if you want to be famous? There was a businessman next to him who said in a disgusted tone: "Raid people and Yusheng, rob the account bureau business to do, such a wrist person, your brother dares to put silver?" I don't dare anyway. ”

"The important thing is that the cost is much higher than Heyu, and the store is big and bullying, and the guys in the store are just like the old man in the county. In addition, I am not a pure silver, and he doesn't have a few cars with a semicolon, what should I do if I have the goods? And Yusheng people but silver also bring, goods are also delivered, I spent a little silver to save my heart, now spend more silver is not worry-free, it is better to design your own team, find a follower protection, without and Yusheng, either spend more money, or can only temporarily not do business. ”

"I haven't been running business for the time being, it's funny to say, I've been comfortable in the past few years, and I really can't eat the hard work, and I'm worried that the road will be unsafe...... Recently, there has been a lot of trouble. ”

"Han Fuyuan is really laughing to death, so I can find a reliable reason no, saying that Zhang Dongzhu is a bandit, and they spend their own money to recruit archers, and they have killed hundreds of bandits...... What He Yusheng hates the most is bandits, and the business that people do is against bandits! ”

"How is proprietor Zhang now?"

"What else, hiding in Li Zhuang and fighting with the governor, the egg can't touch the stone."

"It's fucking black!"

"Why is there no one to take care of this?"

"What's the matter, the governor is the biggest!"

"I heard that the Fu Biao sent a sentry to come over and surround Zhang Dongzhu's house, and those who are not allowed to go inside or enter are not allowed to go out, and they are not even allowed to come out to buy food, and they are about to be cut off."

"This is poisonous, this is to force Zhang Dongzhu to come out, he is a filial son."

"No, anyone with a discerning eye can see it......"

During the discussion, Fan Yongdou's face became ugly.

He always thought that the business war was his and Zhang Han's business, Zhang Han's foreign captives were not a good thing, and the methods at the beginning of doing business with Yusheng were also disgraceful, colluding with officials, and forcibly buying feet, although Zhang Han was young, he was also a ruthless character from the inside out. Now that he meets Han Qi, it can be regarded as a current eye.

As a result, public opinion is one-sided, and now he gradually understands that it doesn't matter how Zhang Han is home, the important thing is his current approach, and Yusheng is already a super business empire, affecting the business operations of the entire Datong and Xuanfu area, almost all businessmen and a large number of ordinary people are closely related to Heyusheng, and further affect the lower-level officials and generals, Zhang Han used money to buy middle-level officials and generals, no wonder with Han Qi's governor, he didn't do anything to Zhang Han after a few months.

Fan Yongdou always thought that Zhang Han was hiding, and Han Qi was in absolute strength, and now it seems that Han Qi's offensive is the same as he was back then, it seems to be fierce, but in fact, there is no chance, and now Fan Yongdou understands that he is not wronged when he loses, but what about Han Qi?

Fan Yongdou's face was gray, his eyes were like ashes, Li Mingda and a fat man next to him were talking, and introducing himself, the fat man was still smiling and giving his hand, but Fan Yongdou didn't care about anything, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and actually brushed his sleeves away.

"What is this?" The fat man is Liu De who came from Datong Mansion, he is nominally the proprietor of Dadeheng, Xinpingbao is also the most important branch, it is natural to come to preside over the opening of the store, the result is not satisfactory, it was originally a nest fire, seeing Fan Yongdou like this, he was even more angry.

Li Mingda wiped his sweat and said: "Since that incident, I am afraid that the proprietor of my family has also been a little difficult to open his heart and behaved a little grotesquely. ”

"Hmph, I think he's phlegm." Liu De said disdainfully: "If you don't have any calm and no responsibility, you can't bear this idea, what kind of proprietor and what big deal to do." ”

Li Mingda was still a little virtuous, and he didn't want to speak ill of his old boss, so he was silent at the moment.

Liu De said again: "Don't say that I'm not polite, our shop, Datong's Taiyuan and this Xinpingbao have opened five or six branches in one go, and there is no business until now, are we in a hurry?" ”

said that he was not in a hurry, but Liu De's face was still cloudy.

Of course, this silver was taken out by Han Qi, and other officials and gentry secretly invested in it, Liu De and others also invested a lot of shares in it, if it really fell, everyone's losses could be described as hurting their muscles and bones, and the losses would never be small.

With such risks and pressures, how can Liu De not be afraid?

But what he said was not necessarily a scene, look at the left and right, Liu De said to Li Mingda: "Lao Li, you don't know, it's not me who said, Zhang Han's house was sealed, Lord Fujun made up his mind this time, Zhang Han will never withdraw his troops if he doesn't come out, and his whole family will have to force this person out if he starves to death, his family can only enter but not out, this situation depends on how long Zhang Han can endure it." As long as this person comes out, he will definitely either be closed or killed, and Yusheng will have no hope without this person, those who are waiting and watching do not take care of our Da Deheng's business, who else can they go to? When the time comes, Lao Li, you will preside over this branch of Xinpingbao, I think that Fan Yongdou is finished, don't give up. ”

Li Mingda didn't want to have this moment of brilliance, so he smiled happily at the moment, couldn't close his mouth with a smile, deeply crossed his waist, and only said: "Everything is up to Mr. Liu." ”

……

Chang Ning looked demure, sitting in the hall of Changfu Xinpingbao, surrounded by many people, but her face was only resolute.

She was also dressed in plain colors, almost not like what her daughter's family was wearing, and the simple clothes did not detract from her beauty, on the contrary, there was almost a layer of holy light that people saw on her face and body, which added to her beauty, even if all the people present were close relatives, and they were taken by Chang Ning's too amazing beauty and temperament, and few people dared to look at her squarely.

"Your father is not here, your second uncle is not easy to speak, Ning'er, you still listen to us." A middle-aged woman made a bitter appearance and persuaded Chang Ning: "Originally, you lived in Zhang's house, if we were surrounded, we would have nothing to say, but it happened that you came out, and his family suffered such a thing, how can you send it to the door again." Ning'er, I'm your fifth aunt, can I still harm you? ”

Another middle-aged man said on the side: "Your mother was not very happy to have a relationship with the Zhang family, Zhang Han is worthy of you, but he can't settle down for a long time, Chang Ning You are a famous beauty in our Yuci, but you can't match him?" Let's not get married to such a family affair, not to mention that now that Zhang Han has hated the governor, I am afraid that there is no chance to turn over in this life, so why bother to guard such a person anymore. ”

Fifth Uncle Changning is a middle-aged man in his forties, seeing that his wife and the rest of the people didn't get to the point, he said with a straight face: "You young men and women, aunts and cousins, there are some joys in your heart when you meet, but the family business that your fifth aunt told you is better...... That's the second son of King Huaixi, the lieutenant of Zhenguo, not to mention the hardcore crops that are a few hundred stones a year, it is a reward for managing the affairs of the Lingqiu Palace, how much is that, Lingqiu to Guangling to Ulzhou and then to Xuanning, Shuozhou, Lingqiu Mansion have set up tax cards, thousands of dollars a year, you are the wife of the lieutenant of Zhenguo when you get there, not a concubine, we are all your relatives, and we will not harm you. ”

Listening to these words, Chang Ning's heart was tumbling, and she really wanted to vomit, but she was elegant and solemn, and there was still no trace of strange expression on her face.

She knew that most of her mother's relatives wanted to respond to this family, that Lingqiu originally had a county king, inherited from generation to generation, and was passed down from generation to generation, and there were more than 20 county kings in the city in Datong, all of which were handed down by the founding of the king's lineage, the prince's son was named the county king, the eldest son of the county king, and the rest of the sons attacked the lieutenant of the town country, and then the lieutenant of the auxiliary country, so that the eldest son attacked the lord, and the rest of the sons were demoted to the title, these descendants of the Zhu family have titles from birth, and they are not allowed to study and be an official except for the lord, and they are not allowed to do business. You are not allowed to be a military general, and you are not allowed to do anything except eat and sleep.

The county kings in Lingqiu City are also like this, they also built the county king's mansion in a small city like Lingqiu, and there is also the Forbidden City, a palace with hundreds of rooms, and a large number of palace maids and eunuchs, so of course they need to suck the blood of the place to feed themselves...... A county king only has 2,000 stone of grain a year, the court is getting poorer and poorer, and these two thousand stones are often not sent, whether it is the prince or the county king, pointing to the food of the court to starve to death, in fact, the poor clan does have a lot of food that cannot be eaten, the court because there are too many clans, repeatedly reduce the clan salary, and even often in arrears, the poor clan has no power, can only rely on Lu Mi to live, and it is not surprising that the poor are poor.

Princes, county kings, powerful lieutenants of the town, they open money villages, set up pawnshops, set up private tax cards, seize fertile land, business throughout their own fiefdoms and Jingshi and the North Zhili area, every family is rich and rival the country, Lingqiu's family was originally also the county king, after the death of the previous generation of King Huaixi, the eldest son Zhu Dinglian attacked the lord, as a result, because of the torture of the great-uncle ancestor, the court patriarchal law was broken, was abolished as a concubine, the ban on Fengyang, the county was also abolished, this is a matter of the Longqing period, after the middle of Wanli, because the king of the dynasty for him to play this one to ask for grace, Wanli asked Zhu Dingfu, the second son of the king of Huaixi, to manage the affairs of Lingqiu Mansion as the lieutenant of Zhenguo, so that although he was not the king of the county, the wealth of this branch was not returned, but the county's land, tax cards, and shops still fell into the hands of this Zhu Dingfu.
