After listening to Zhang Bao'er's words, Wei Xianyun stopped talking. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Bao'er makes sense, no matter how much Li Xian is, but he is still the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he agrees, it is useless for others to oppose it. With Zhang Baoer's current status in Li Xian's heart, Li Xian is likely to agree with Zhang Baoer's opinion.

Zhang Bao'er wanted to say something, but saw Uncle Hua enter the house and said, "Uncle, Shopkeeper Jiang is here!" ”

"Shopkeeper Jiang?" Zhang Baoer was surprised: "What is Jiang Jiao doing?" Didn't you tell him that he didn't come to me if he was fine? ”

Wei Xianyun interjected: "It is estimated that Jiang Jiao can't sit still!" ”

Wei Xianyun guessed right, Jiang Jiao really couldn't sit still.

Coming to Chang'an from Luzhou, Jiang Jiao was full of confidence. But after arriving in Chang'an, he found that the situation was not as optimistic as he thought. The entire Chang'an is under the control of the two women, Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, and Li Longji, the king of Linzi County, is not ranked here at all. The harsh reality made Jiang Jiao have to wonder if the thing that Zhang Baoer planned at the beginning was a flower in the moon mirror in the water.

The road was chosen by himself, and Zhang Baoer is not to blame. Disheartened, Jiang Jiao still wanted to go back to his old job, but after seeing Cen Shaobai, Jiang Jiao found that he couldn't get involved in the business, which made him depressed, and he couldn't care about any agreement, so he came directly to Zhang Baoer.

"Shopkeeper Jiang, how is it, are you still used to living in Chang'an?" Zhang Bao'er greeted Jiang Jiao warmly.

Although Jiang Jiao has many questions in his heart, he still has to live on face. The current Zhang Baoer is no longer the same as before, no matter what, he is still a waiter in the Criminal Department.

Jiang Jiao said with a smile on his face: "I'm used to living, I'm used to living, Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, of course it's not comparable to that small place in Luzhou!" ”

After letting Jiang Jiao into the living room, Zhang Baoer asked bluntly: "I don't know if Shopkeeper Jiang is visiting today, but is there something wrong?" ”

Jiang Jiao is a person in the business field, and he knows the truth of making money with harmony, of course, he can't directly explain the intention, but said very euphemistically: "Yesterday, I went to the shopkeeper Cen, and now it's no better than in Luzhou, our beach is getting bigger and bigger, and the shopkeeper Cen is very busy, but unfortunately I can't help much!" ”

Zhang Bao'er didn't know Jiang Jiao's thoughts, he asked with a smile: "Isn't it that the shopkeeper Jiang doesn't believe in it, or doesn't believe in Brother Cen?" ”

"Oh, no, no, no, the shopkeeper Cen was born to be a good hand at doing business, I have seen it a long time ago, but it is just ......"

"Just what?"

Jiang Jiao said, "It's just ...... I'm puzzled by some of his practices......"

"If you don't understand, just ask directly, there are also your members in this industry!" Wei Xianyun asked strangely on the side.

"Zhang Gongzi has explained, let me try to ask as little as possible about business, I'm afraid that if you ask too much, the shopkeeper Cen will have ideas."

After listening to Jiang Jiao's words, Zhang Bao'er pondered for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper Jiang, tell me what Brother Cen has to do to puzzle you." ”

"The shopkeeper Cen let all the inns under our name receive people who participated in the scientific examination for free, and in just a few days, we lost nearly 10,000 taels of silver!"

Zhang Baoer's heart moved, he didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"Also, Shopkeeper Cen has established more than a dozen grain turnover and cargo storage stacks on the banks of the Weishui River, which is understandable, but he began to buy a large amount of grain."

"Grain?"

"Yes, the shopkeeper Cen is open to purchase, and many warehouses have inventory."

"Presumably Brother Cen has found some business opportunities!" Although Zhang Baoer couldn't understand why Cen Shaobai would buy so much grain, he believed that Cen Shaobai must have his reasons.

Jiang Jiao said worriedly: "In the past few years, the surrounding areas of Chang'an have been smooth, and the grain is full. I really don't understand, what does the shopkeeper Cen want to do? ”

"Is he trying to raise the price of food by buying grain, but what good is it for him?" Wei Xianyun was also confused: "Or does he want to buy all the excess grain near Chang'an, and then send people around to spread the news that the price of grain has risen, so that the grain in his hand can be sold at the price?" Don't he know that the roads between Chang'an and the states extend in all directions, and even if he collects all the grain in Chang'an, the grain from other states will continue to be transported here. ”

"I don't think Brother Cen will use such a stupid method!" Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Jiang, let's not guess, don't you just ask Brother Cen to know?" If it's not convenient for you to ask, I'll just ask him! ”

……

At night, the moonlight is like a sprinkle, and in Zhang Baoer's backyard, four people are changing glasses in the pavilion.

"Brother Cen, has business been going well recently?" Zhang Baoer asked with a smile.

"Bao'er, you just have to rest assured, the business is going according to my plan, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Cen Shaobai paused and said: "You asked me to try to set up branches in all parts of Datang, I'm afraid this idea will have to be delayed!" ”

"Brother Cen, are you in any difficulty?" Zhang Bao'er frowned and asked.

"It's not a difficulty, the main thing is that there is a stumbling block in Chang'an City, Chang'an is where our general number is, if Chang'an is not cleaned up, how can the rear be unstable and penetrate into other states?"

"A stumbling block? What stumbling block? Zhang Bao'er asked puzzled.

"Bao'er, do you know Wang Hufeng?"

Zhang Bao'er's eyes flashed and said, "The stumbling block you are talking about is Wang Hufeng?" ”

"Exactly!"

"This stumbling block is really not small!" After hearing this, Zhang Bao'er smiled and said: "However, Brother Cen, you don't have to worry, although Wang Hufeng is the richest man in Chang'an, he is not terrible. ”

Cen Shaobai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Bao'er, how do you say this?" ”

"Let the gentleman tell you!" Zhang Bao'er smiled at Wei Xianyun.

Wei Xianyun said lightly: "It's actually very simple! First, Datang has always had a policy of suppressing business, but Wang Hufeng, as a businessman, does not know how to keep a low profile, even if we don't make a move, someone will clean him up. ”

Cen Shaobai nodded.

"Second, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to enter simplicity from luxury, Wang Hufeng has forgotten the difficulty of starting a business so much, a person who is used to enjoyment, how much fighting spirit do you expect him to have?"

Cen Shaobai's eyes when he looked at Wei Xianyun were different.

Third, since ancient times, there has been a saying that officials and businessmen collude that businessmen must cooperate with officials if they want to gain a foothold, but Wang Hufeng has not forgotten this. But if you look at the people he befriended, whether it is Queen Wei, Princess Anle and Princess Taiping, which one can become a big climate? Isn't this self-digging grave? Besides, even if he is now beautiful, he doesn't want to think about it, Queen Wei, Princess Anle and Princess Taiping are already like fire and water, Wang Hufeng wanders between the three of them, thinking that the relationship is good in all aspects, but he doesn't know that when the disaster comes, these people will not help him. ”
