In fact, if Su Sanniang didn't mention Hu Guangyong's tuba, but said his words directly, Lin Haifeng would not have spent half a day trying to think of a reason.
Speaking of Hu Guangyong, it is not a simple character. He is a native of Jixi, Anhui Province, the word Xueyan, and is the once famous private ticket number in Hangzhou - the big shopkeeper of Fukang Qianzhuang. When he was a child, Hu Xueyan had a poor family background and worked as a cattle herder. A little later, in order to support his family, as the head of the family, Hu Xueyan was recommended by relatives to enter a money village in Hangzhou apprenticeship, he started from sweeping the floor, pouring urinals and other small chores, survived the first three years, after the completion of the division, because of hard work, steadfastness became the official partner of the money village, and began to live in Hangzhou for a long time The life of a money village practitioner.
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a poet called Gu Sixie once said: Horses can advent dangers, but ploughing fields is not as good as oxen. A strong car can carry heavy loads, and it is not as good as a boat to cross the river. It is difficult to seek the advantages by taking the shortcomings, and it is difficult to seek the wisdom of the high. Raw materials are expensive and applicable, so be careful not to be too demanding. It is said that Hu Xueyan has a saying that he often hangs on his lips, which is to say that a person's greatest ability is his ability to use people, and he is good at employing people, taking people by virtue of his strengths and not seeking perfection.
Hu Xueyan not only talks about it, but also puts it into action at any time. Therefore, Hu Xueyan, who was still running the street in front of other people's money banks, in a "accidental" opportunity, discerned a "plain life" down-and-out scholar Wang Youling, who secretly lent a "dead account" -- 500 taels of silver Q that he had recovered from a restaurant that was good at paying bills, and used it as "the capital of being an official." Moreover, in the eyes of the saints. Hu and Wang should never have any common language, one is fragrant with books and ink, and the other is a person who smells of copper all over his body, and one of them slammed his head on the ground, becoming a friend of life and death.
In the matter of Hu Xueyan helping the "down" Wang Youling, many people praised Hu Xueyan for being just out of a heroic heart at that time. In fact, where did they know, Hu Xueyan knew it at that time, as early as a few years ago. Wang Youling had already donated Zhejiang Salt Transport, but it was difficult to find the funds to enter Beijing to carry out activities again, so this tiger would wander between Pingyang.
With the help of Hu Xueyan's money, Wang Youling still had several setbacks at first. finally made up for a real shortcoming, but finally climbed the road of official career, and since then the official fortune has been prosperous. In a few years, Wang Youling went from a small official of the shipping department to the general office of the grain station under the governor of Zhejiang, and then to the prefect who presided over the Huzhou side.
And with the rise of the elder brother Wang Youling, the younger brother Hu Xueyan is naturally smooth. After the Taiping army smashed the Jiangnan camp outside Tianjing City in one fell swoop. The sudden eastward crusade not only shocked the whole of Zhejiang, but also suffered a sudden heavy blow to Qianzhuang, where Hu Xueyan originally served. The owner of the money bank died on the way back from a trip to Jiangsu to collect money. It is said that he died at the hands of robbers, but who are the robbers? There are different versions of the rumors, some say that it is a group of poor and crazy chaotic people, and some say that they were killed by the Taiping army and were dazed by the rebels. In the end, the government came forward to clarify that the owner of the money bank died at the hands of Taiping Changmao, who pretended to be a rebel.
No matter what you say, the owner has no heirs. What to do with the family property after death seems to be a big problem. But when this unlucky member of the East family came from his hometown in eastern Zhejiang, he saw that it was indeed a suicide note from the owner that the young man Hu Xueyan showed them, "...... Therefore, all the assets of the money village belong to Xueyan, and others are not allowed to compete for it." As a result, the money village changed its name. Fukang Qian Zhuang was born.
It was with the money of the original owner that Wang Youling was able to advance bravely in the rapids of the Huan Sea, and Hu Xueyan turned from a working boy to a wealthy family in Hangzhou. With the full support of Wang Youling, the prefect of Huzhou, and his old friend He Guiqing, the governor of Jiangsu, Huang Zonghan, the governor of Zhejiang, also became Hu Xueyan's bag, Hu Xueyan's business became bigger and bigger, and the branches of Fukang Qianzhuang in Huzhou, Suzhou, Ningbo and other places sprung up one after another. In just one year, although he didn't read much, Hu Xueyan, who was proficient in social and human affairs, relied on the government taxes and co-payment money rolling in from all over the country. It has not only built a huge financial network of money banks and pawnshops. It also opened a silk stack, and then began to monopolize Zhejiang raw silk. Manipulating Zhejiang business. As the pace of the Taiping Army's Eastern Expedition became faster and faster, Hu Xueyan undertook the fat errand of preparing and transporting food and equipment for the Manchu army in Zhejiang, and went to foreign foreign companies in Ningbo, Xiamen and other places, he raised a large amount of military pay and ordered a large number of arms for the Manchu army in Zhejiang. And the most lucrative livelihood during this period of time may have to be counted before Hangzhou was about to be blockaded by the Taiping army, Hu Xueyan ate a lot of the grain. At this time, Hu Xueyan had already received the sad news that his brother Wang Youling was martyred for the Qing Dynasty, and wisely he once again predicted the next development of events in advance, and Tong Guò He Guiqing resold all the grain to the governor Yamen at a high price, and then on the grounds of going to Ningbo to supervise the arms, he rolled up a large amount of cash from the treasury and hid out of Hangzhou City.
Hangzhou was recovered by the Taiping army, and Hu Xueyan returned to the city. After being trapped in Hangzhou City for nine months, although it was already a depression at this time, his Fukang Qianzhuang headquarters was still in style. Here, once again, he is good at recognizing and employing people's superb skills, and the assistant guy he entrusted with the important task of staying behind actually used the rations he left for the guys to learn the example of more than a dozen baked cake shops that suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys around the "Manying", and exchanged all kinds of jewelry and jewelry worth at least more than 100,000 taels of silver for his Fukang Qianzhuang.
Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government pursued a policy of protecting national industry and commerce, Li Kaifang, who was in charge of Zhejiang affairs at that time, did not deal more with Fukang Qianzhuang after some serious verification, except for confiscating some of the money from the bank, and educating Hu Xueyan several times in person.
Although Fukang Qianzhuang has lost its former prosperity. But it is still operating normally. Under this new terrain shì. It stands to reason that Hu Xueyan should have learned a lesson and repented. Since then, he has embarked on a path to help the government of the Celestial Empire. In order to restore the economic construction of Zhejiang, right? Not really. The nature of the merchant who seeped out of the bone q told Hu Xueyan. Relying on the right business is difficult to accomplish again and again capital accumulation quickly. and at the same time to restore the land which he has suffered and the land which he has lost so much. In the past, he was a red-capped merchant in the Manchu Dynasty. Now. He also wants to become a red-capped merchant in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom like Gu Tonglin in Zhenjiang.
Thereupon. He was the first to be looked down upon by him. It is the Hangzhou military station to buy Pan Fulai. Tong guò Pan Fu Laidi relationship. He further got acquainted with Zhang Suiliang, the head of the Hangzhou Military Station. Followed by. With the vigorous assistance of Zhang Suiliang, Pan Fulai and others. He got a contract to order 50,000 sets of military quilts.
Lin Haifeng heard Su Sanniang say this. The two brows were almost twisted together.
"It's getting messier and messier. The more complicated it is. Liu Xianghe looked at Su Sanniang. Look at Lin Haifeng again. couldn't help but shake his head again and again. "This Pan Fulai. In order to salvage the life-saving straw. Could it be a bite? Pan Fulai is involved in the king of the east. And Zhang Suiliang is the brother of Zhang Suimou, who was martyred last year. The Wing King regarded Zhang Suimou as a confidant. This ......"
Su Sanniang shook her head gently. After Pan Fulai said this. We immediately informed the Hangzhou side. After a prompt investigation. And so it was. The internal affairs department of Hangzhou found 100,000 taels of silver deposited in the name of Zhang Suiliang from Fukang Qianzhuang. And part of this money has already been used by Zhang Suiliang himself. In addition, there are 200,000 taels of silver in Pan Fulai. Most of them have already been taken away. After our investigation. The place where the money in Pan Fulai's name is used is precisely Kunshan. Li Nengtong, Huang Yusheng. There is also a landlord surnamed Mei. All received money. Move so fast. Apparently it wasn't Pan Fulai alone. It was only five or six days before he was secretly accused by us. He didn't have time or thought of doing it so thoroughly. There are still people moving in the back. ”
"I don't care who will use those things in the future. I'm a businessman. Making money is the first goal of a businessman. Who doesn't have the advantage of getting up early? Of course. In the future, if I make more money. I'll be like everyone else. Do it. Or even if it's pretending to be a great good person. I've thought about it for a long time. I'm going to open a big pharmacy in a few years. It is also necessary to be truly morality-oriented. Tong Su is not bullied. But that was later. Not now. Right now. For these 50,000 sets of quilt land orders. It has consumed a great deal of my wealth beforehand. They're black. Why should I lose money? You really have to ask. I can sue you. I have no motive or will to produce such fakes. The reason for this result. The real criminals should be those who are greedy and unending your officials. They were the ones who forced me to get to this point. According to the payment I got for the goods. It can only be processed like this. I'm not guilty at all. Su Sanniang looked at Liu Xianghe and smiled helplessly. Listen to it. This is after Hu Xueyan was formally arrested. What is done is self-justifying. ”
"In this way, the matter is really big, I'm afraid ......" Liu Xianghe glanced at Lin Haifeng, who was sitting there without saying a word, "I'm afraid it will affect even bigger things." ”
The bigger thing that Liu Xianghe said was that there has always been a wave of noise within the Celestial Empire's government to eliminate the private economy. The current situation confirms the correctness of their argument that the private economy is inherently insurmountably greedy and shameless.
"Do you know all these things?" After asking Su Sanniang this, Lin Haifeng didn't seem to suddenly remember his pipe until now, he took back the hand that had been pressing the pipe on the table, and began to pat his body up and down, frowning and muttering, "Hey, where is my pipe?" ”
