The second update, ask for recommendation votes

"You remember to negotiate with Shopkeeper Zhou about the matter in Yangzhou, and provide them with cloth before the fifth day of the next month, there should be no problem, and you can arrange the rest, and strive to increase the price by one percent." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The torrential rain in June swept in, the rain drops into the direction of the eaves like a curtain, an oil lamp like a bean, illuminating the small reception room of the Qin family, Qin Zhengxi sat at the table, with the basic ledger scattered around him, he was talking to Qin Danqing about a business, after all, he was the only son in the family, and the cloth business of silk brocade in the future would be fully handed over to him.

"The child understands."

"Well, the volume of goods to Huzhou will increase in the second half of the month, you remember to say hello to Caoyun, don't delay the time, we can't afford to wait, if there is nothing to do, you can go and get busy first."

Qin Danqing didn't leave the room, he lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and still whispered, "Our share of business in Yangzhou is gradually being eroded by the Qin family, doesn't my father have any opinions on this matter?" Qin Shaoyou and his family want to rely on their status as imperial merchants to squeeze out all of our family. ”

Qin Zhengxi did not answer his son's question, the pressure test of the old opponent has been much more obvious since the beginning of July last year, not only in terms of price, but even trying to use cloth to impact their original business, the Qin family, as an imperial businessman, is becoming more and more powerful, and it is no longer a situation where two tigers coexist, but to drive away the good and the inferior, and completely encroach on the cloth business of the waterway in the south of the Yangtze River. Become another big businessman after the imperial merchants.

The ambition of the Qin family is rising day by day with its strength, but Qin Zhengxi can only watch the family business that his ancestors have worked hard for be eaten up little by little.

"Do you have a good idea?"

Qin Zhengxi was distraught, and opened his mouth to reprimand, "Let me ask you, do you have a way to break the deadlock now?" Now that Qin Shaoyou's family is in full bloom, they have crushed us to death, and even if they can bite off a piece of meat from them, they will be quickly retaliated against. Power and financial resources are the difference between their Qin family and us, as long as the Qin family still has the skin of the status of an imperial businessman, even if they don't make much money in this area, it is enough to swagger through the market under the name of a name. Remember, we can only endure it, before there is a chance to bite back, any move will bring ruin to our Qin family. You're too young to understand what it means to walk on thin ice. ”

He feels that his son still has not reached the level of a successor, although Qin Danqing has converged a lot over the years, but he still lacks a calm atmosphere, and people who can't hold their breath are often the first to tragedy, this is the lesson that Qin Danqing has remembered in the business for so many years, how many people finally made wedding dresses for others, and they didn't have the last laugh.

"What if anyone could do it?"

Qin Danqing smiled bitterly and asked, "What if someone can do it and our Qin family can overpower them?" ”

"Huh?"

Qin Zhengxi raised his head, glanced at his son, then shook his head, and sighed, "It's easy to say, who in Hangzhou City has the strength to overpower their Qin family?" The road is out by itself, the relationship between Bianliang can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and financial resources are the key to determining the outcome of the victory. You have to learn from the shopkeeper so that you don't get laughed at. ”

Qin Danqing turned his head and looked out the window at the rain curtain, everything was shrouded in smoke and rain.

"No, father, that guy will be visiting today."

When Qin Zhengxi heard his son's words, an ominous premonition surged in his heart, "Who is going to visit?" Who did you ask over? ”

Try to keep yourself calm, he doesn't know what his son is doing behind his back.

Qin Danqing muttered to himself, "The person who can help our Qin family get through the predicament is coming here now, I think my father should be willing to meet him." ”

Heavy rains in June, pouring down.

A carriage broke through the rain curtain and walked in the direction of Qinfu, slightly lifted the curtain, a seeping coolness came to the face, and the torrential rain in June wrapped everything in a curtain of water, heaven and earth, all-encompassing.

The stagnant water flat exploded layer by layer under the trampling of the horse's hooves, and the figure in the cloak pressed the hat above his head in the rain curtain, and complained to the big man in the car, "I said young master, this rain is so heavy, why do you have to run out now to find guilt, can't you wait for the rain to stop and then go?" ”

Chen Zhongqing was flipping through a copy of "Spring and Autumn", and when he heard Lao Jia's response, he put the book on his lap, turned his head and scolded.

"Shut up, old Jia, get behind the wheel of your carriage."

The people outside the curtain didn't seem to hear Chen Zhongqing's scolding, and continued to say to themselves, "Young master, why don't we go to the restaurant when we come back next, I'm greedy for my daughter there." This thing is no worse than Huadiao, the taste is mellow and thick, tsk, and it makes my mouth water when I think about it. ”

Through a curtain, Chen Zhongqing could feel Lao Jia's gluttony, so he had to reluctantly put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand and said, "Okay, after visiting Master Qin, I will bring you an altar back." ”

Lao Jia was shivering from the cold and wet rain, and when he heard Chen Zhongqing's words, he immediately came to his senses, waved his whip and said, "Okay, young master, you will be in the Qin Mansion soon." ”

Chen Zhongqing shook his head helplessly, and picked up the "Spring and Autumn" beside him again, who knew that it didn't take long for him to hear chattering outside the curtain again, and he had to be forced to interrupt the idea of reading and listen to Lao Jia continue to speak.

"I said young master, why are you so concerned about this Qin family, he is not the only rich businessman in the whole Hangzhou City, besides, isn't the Qin Shaoyou family even more big? You come to visit and show your identity, and his Qin family doesn't dare not give in, who dares to offend the Buddha of Bianliang, unless their Qin family doesn't want to do business. So I wonder why I have to find a cloth merchant who is oppressed. ”

"No, is that enough?"

Chen Zhongqing couldn't bring any waves in his eyes, he said calmly, "It is indeed not difficult to convince a Qin family, as you said, their family has a big business, and it is indeed more suitable as an ally of interests, but ...... It's just a Qin family, and I can't make other uncles and nephews look at me differently, in their eyes, I'm just an out-and-out piece of rotten wood......"

Lao Jia's heart chuckled, it is true that from childhood to adulthood, applause and praise will always be on Chen Zhongxu's body, for Chen Zhongqing, it is more of a disappointment of hating iron and steel, a timid and only a man may be in the shadow of his father all his life, and he will survive all his life.

If the feat of that night was not enough to shake them, the Chen family should have laughed at the great gift of Hangzhou City. After all, this wealth is enough to provide for the promotion of the eldest brother, the second uncle and the father. Hades is easy to see, the little ghost is difficult to implement, my brother has entered the temple this time, and it is inevitable that he will have to deal with that group of old foxes, even if you are talented? In the end, if you don't want to see you, you won't see you, and when the time comes, you will be a small group of people in the dark in the court, and there is no way to do it. ”

Lao Jia didn't speak, and as soon as he heard Chen Zhongqing talk about the temple, he had a headache. This crooked old servant who even writes his own name hates to listen to the long speeches of readers.

Chen Zhongqing leaned his elbow against the window lattice, leaning against the rainy street outside the window, the bluestone slabs were full of rainwater, and even the Hangzhou Canal was also involved in the smoke and rain.

"Childe, you're different from those who read."

Lao Jia squinted his eyes to prevent the rain from slipping into his eyes, and he said, "Although I don't understand what you say, you are better than those who are the words of the saints all day long...... How can I say it......"

"Pragmatic."

Chen Zhongqing added, pinching the corners of his clothes with two fingers, and his nails left clear and obvious dents on his hands, "I have always hated readers, they can't do anything practical except for a mouth that can speak." is full of loyalty, righteousness and kindness, but he is doing dirty and dirty things behind his back, and when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, the first to weaken his knees is also this group of flatterers. The Southern Jin Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty were almost occupied by half of the country. ”

The rain was getting heavier, and there was only one carriage between heaven and earth, slowly driving through the bluestone street.

Lao Jia was silent and stopped talking.

Only the last sentence that Chen Zhongqing said still echoed in his ears.

"They should all be killed."
