The beating of Zhang Bugui was definitely not a simple incident of a scholar's brawl. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you think about it carefully, you can see the intentions of these Ningbo scholars.

Yaji was approaching, but they "encountered" Zhang Bugui, and they couldn't help but say that they were fists and kicks, and beat Zhang Dagongzi. It is a bit unreasonable to interpret all this as hating Zhang Bugui for occupying the painting boat.

The literati care most about face, not to mention the scholars of the Ming Dynasty.

It's also to blame Zhang Bugui for being too inexperienced, otherwise he would at least be able to catch some of the tricks of these Ningbo scholars.

West Lake Yaji definitely still has to go, but Xie Shen can already imagine the smell of gunpowder on both sides of Yaji.

It was Zhang Bugui who was slapped in the face, and the most unbearable person was definitely Zhang Bugui. If something goes wrong with him, it's still a bit difficult to do.

"Brother Zhang, don't be angry first, let Xie think about how to deal with it."

Xie Shen comforted Zhang Bugui with a few words, and then paced around the room with his hands behind his back.

Since Ningbo Shizi deliberately provoked Zhang Bugui in front of the West Lake Yaji, it proves that they are weak-hearted.

As for why their hearts are weak. It's nothing more than two things. The first is that there are no figures among them who are enough to compete with themselves and Bi Minghui, and the second is that the people selected by this elegant collection are not under their control, or they are not completely on their side.

The strength is not enough, and the relationship is to make up.

If there is no relationship, it is absolutely impossible for the scholars of Ningbo Prefecture to defeat the scholars of Sui'an and Yuyao counties.

The purpose of Ningbo Mansion Scholars to hold Yaji is to promote Ningbo Zhushan tea through Yaji, so they will unite with the local scholars of Hangzhou Mansion at this Yaji. In Xie Shen's opinion, there may be some kind of deal in this. For example, the local Longjing tea merchants in Hangzhou cooperated with the big tea merchants in Ningbo to monopolize the tea market in the province.

When you think about it, it's not a low possibility.

Qiantang Longjing is an old tea tyrant, and Ningbo Fuzhu Mountain Tea is a rising star.

If the two are combined, the other teas will hardly have a chance to get a piece of the pie.

It seems that Xie Shen thought about it too simply. He thought that he could make Yao Jiangcha enter the circle of literati and scholars by himself, but now it seems unlikely.

Even if he performed well at the West Lake Yaji, the final result was a tie at most. After all, with Qiantang Longjing pressing the array, if Yaojiang tea wants to become famous, it will only be suppressed by the local tea merchants in Hangzhou.

If only Ningbo tea merchant Xie Shen could handle it, but if he joined the Hangzhou tea merchant, Xie Shen would be a little difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands.

As for the reason for the cooperation between the two, Xie Shen thinks it is still due to interests.

The tea merchants of Ningbo want to climb the fame of Qiantang Longjing, and the local Longjing tea merchants in Hangzhou also want to break into the market of Ningbo Province. In other words, this is also a disguised exchange of interests.

Of course, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

Peers are enemies, Xie Shen doesn't believe that Ningbo tea merchants and Hangzhou tea merchants are monolithic, so how to find a breakthrough......

"Brother Zhang knows the local tea merchants in Hangzhou, and Xie wants to go and pay a visit."

Zhang Bugui grinned in pain, and was stunned when he heard Xie Shen's words.

Didn't you discuss how to avenge him just now, why did it come to the Hangzhou tea merchant again?

However, Zhang Bugui still subconsciously said: "I know a few, but the friendship is not deep." ”

Xie Shen smiled faintly: "The friendship is not deep or tight, as long as Xie can enter the mansion and talk to those tea merchants." ”

Zhang Bugui nodded and said, "If you want to say that this Hangzhou tea merchant is really rich." They actually have a chamber of commerce, and the president's surname is Ning, called Ning Yi. I've met him a few times before, and it's all at a ......banquet."

Zhang Bugui's face was a little strange, and Xie Shen also beat the drum in his heart.

Whether this Zhang Dagongzi is familiar with President Ning or not, will he go to Ning Mansion and be driven out again.

"Brother Xie Xian, don't worry, when you arrive at Ning Mansion, you directly tell Menzi that you are a friend of Zhang, and you are going to visit Master Ning. They won't stop it. ”

Zhang Bugui seemed to see the doubts in Xie Shen's heart, and hurriedly made up for it.

Xie Shen nodded and said, "Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about this matter, it's all on Xie." ”

In Xie Shen's opinion, the key to breaking the game this time is this Ning Yining master.

If you want to reverse the decline, you have to start with this person.

"Brother Zhang first recuperated in the inn, and Xie went to meet this Master Ning. Before Xie came back, Brother Zhang must not be angry and compete with those Ningbo scholars. ”

There are 10,000 ways for literati to be a person, and the most stupid one is to do it.

As the so-called gentleman does not use his mouth, it does not mean that the gentleman does not dare to do it, but he can get greater benefits by moving his mouth.

At present, Ningbo Shizi must hope that Zhang Bugui will be annoyed and embarrassed, and take the long entourage to fight with them. Not to mention whether they can win the war, even if they can win, they will also let these Ningbo scholars succeed.

In order not to let Zhang Bugui's IQ be lowered, Xie Shen had to instruct him in advance.

"Okay, Brother Fool will wait for Brother Shenxian to come back and make a decision!"

Zhang Bugui trusted Xie Shen's instinct, and immediately nodded in response.

Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi wanted to go with the young man to visit this old man Ning, but Xie Shen said: "You two stay in the inn first, this is not to catch up with the big set, and it is useless if there are more people." ”

In fact, Xie Shen was not worried about Zhang not returning, for fear that he would make something happen on impulse, so he asked Wang and Xie to stay in the inn to take care of them.

After some entrustment, Xie Shen left the inn and went straight to Ning Mansion according to the position given by Zhang Bugui.

In the Ming Dynasty, the most lucrative business was naturally selling salt.

However, the cost of this industry is too high, and it is not easy to get salt in the first place. If you sell illicit salt, it is a felony to kill the head, and the risk is too high.

In addition to selling salt, it is the most profitable to weave silk and sell tea.

Compared with the two, selling tea requires less start-up capital, so it is more suitable for Xie Shen, who has a thin foundation.

However, to achieve a tea merchant of Ning Yi's level, it is indescribable to use thousands of wealth, and it can really be said that he is rich and rivals the country.

This is true of any industry, and those who stand at the top of the pyramid have a lot of resources and wealth in their hands. And those who are under the base of the tower will have to put in more effort if they want to climb up.

This is the case with the imperial examinations, and the same is true with the sale of tea, and its essence is no different.

Ning Mansion was not far from the inn where Xie Shen was staying, and Xie Shen came to the front of the mansion after half a cup of tea.

Looking at the towering mansion wall, Xie Shen secretly sighed, worthy of being a wealthy businessman and even a mansion is so magnanimous.

I knocked on the door, and in a short time a door leaned out.

Xie Shen stepped forward and said lightly: "Xie Shen, a friend of Yuyao Zhang Bugui Zhang, wants to visit Master Ning." ”
