Lin Chun on the east fourth archway, three floors upstairs, painting flying clouds, bead curtain rolling rain, in and out are all brocade clothes, it is the first class teahouse in the east city.

In a luxurious pavilion near the window on the second floor, Ye Zhao was smiling and drinking tea, listening to a middle-aged man opposite him introduce the situation of setting up a factory in Shanghai.

The old master sat on the other side, the middle-aged man was brought by him, called Huang Wenxiu, the word Dongge, was a famous businessman in Shanghai County, the owner of Yifuxiang Qianzhuang, the knife will be chaotic, Yifuxiang suffered heavy losses, and the silver in the Zhuang was almost looted.

At present, many businessmen are more valuable than their surnames, just a few decades later, the capital Siheng silver due to the Eight-Nation Alliance's entry into Yanjing was greatly damaged, had to be dismal to close down, despite this, but the lease façade insisted on the exchange of silver tickets, the silver tickets of the silver number, and the return of the customer's silver, but it insisted on more than ten years, and its reputation can be seen.

Huang Wenxiu's situation is similar, after the Qing army recovered Shanghai, Huang Wenxiu took out all his net worth to return the silver taels for his patrons, and took back the silver tickets that had become blank sheets, and now he is not only poor, but also owes huge debts. had to enter the concession to make a living, and by chance met the old master.

Listening to the old master talk about his situation, Ye Zhao couldn't help but like him a little, and listening to Huang Wenxiu's introduction of the situation of the canning factory and glass factory in preparation, Ye Zhao also nodded again and again, after all, he is an enlightened businessman, much more capable than the old master.

The old master found Huang Wenxiu to help, but he was relieved, if he wanted to go to Guanwai to help Han Jinchun raise money and food to win over the squire, he still had some experience, but when it came to doing business, he knew that he was really not this way.

"Dongge, it's inconvenient to exchange letters, in the future, if you can take ideas, you can take ideas, I can trust you!" Ye Zhao shook the folding fan and said with a smile.

"Ye Gongzi rest assured, Western technology and Western factories, if you want to say that you can't make money in Shanghai, then I, Huang Wenxiu, am so sorry for Gongzi! But ......" Huang Wenxiu hesitated.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "In my place, you are polite, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, we don't like to beat around the bush." ”

Huang Wenxiu hesitated, and said: "But Ye Gongzi, Huang feels that Gongzi has invested a lot of money in these two transactions, it seems, it seems to be ......."

Ye Zhao laughed and said, "It's not wise, right? Confused, huh? Dongge, I like your temper more and more, they all say that there is a fate between people, and I think we are quite compatible. ”

Seeing that the little prince was very happy, the old master couldn't help but smile, it was rare for someone to be so looked down on by the little prince.

Ye Zhao took a sip of tea and said: "You just do it with your hands and feet, let's not try to make money, this factory, how much money you make, you don't have to pay the account, just let me do it, the bigger the better." ”

Although it didn't take long to meet Ye Zhao, Huang Wenxiu felt that this owner was not the second ancestor of the prodigal family, and he was afraid that people were looking farther away than himself.

"If the owner is open-minded, I will be relieved." Huang Wenxiu was unconsciously becoming more and more polite to Ye Zhao.

When the old master introduced Ye Zhao, he would not mention the identity of this proprietor, not to mention the rule that the children of the clan are not allowed to do business, how can he easily confess to others if he is so noble as the little prince?

Ye Zhao looked at the old master and said with a smile: "You guys are also coincidental, if you are half a day late, I will go to Zhigu, I am afraid that it will take three or two days to come back." ”

The old master was slightly stunned, and said worriedly: "This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." "The children of the clan can't leave Yanjing City for no reason.

Ye Zhao smiled: "It's okay, I understand what the old master means, I know, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Come on, drink tea, this Lin Chun, don't fool people, he said that the tea tips were picked from the top of Wuyi Mountain, and the storage can't be wrong, I look at it and there are some fairy spirits. As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and smiled at the two.

……

Tianjin Jinghai Yangliuqing, the town is located in the key point of Gyeonggi, the place where merchants from the south to the north must pass through, but it is full of shops and developed commerce.

The Zhao family, which is adjacent to the cloud archway at the west end of South Street, is gloomy and miserable, and in the courtyard of the Zhao family, it seems that there have been intermittent cries in the past few days.

And the neighbors are closed, even the excitement is not daring to look, this is not, seeing that there are seven or eight fierce men kicked open the gate of the Zhao family and entered the courtyard, a few aunts who were still chatting under the archway were very quickly dispersed, went home and closed the doors and windows, only to turn a deaf ear.

The neighbors live, if they say that they don't say a few words for the Zhao family, it's embarrassing, but who dares to help the Zhao family speak now? can only make a fortune in a muffled voice, pretending not to hear or see.

"You, what have you done?" Suddenly saw several fierce men break into the yard, the second brother of the Zhao family came to ask bravely, but was kicked in the head, since the day the boss Zhao was beaten to vomit blood, the second brother Zhao has been frightened, and he will never dare to fight back.

A seven or eight-year-old girl next to the patio was frightened, looked at them in horror, and the string of sugar gourds in her hand fell to the ground with a snap, and suddenly cried loudly. She is the daughter of Zhao Laoer, named Ping'er.

Several strong men carried a long saw into the courtyard, two in front, two in the back, and began to "sneer" at the ancient acacia tree next to the patio with a saw.

"Cry fart!" A hideous-looking man standing next to the guy and directing the work glared at the little girl, viciously, "Cry again!" Cry again and sell you to the kiln! ”

The little girl cried louder, the big man strode over, Zhao Laoer, who was originally pretending to be dead on the ground, couldn't pretend to be able to do it anymore, after all, it was his own daughter, although she usually disliked her as a nobody, but seeing that she was being bullied, Zhao Lao Er was not so unrepresented.

What's more, no one in Yang Liuqing doesn't know this evil man, the Shi family guards the house, surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Quan, ruthless, and it is rumored that he used to be a Jiangyang thief.

Zhao Lao Er's bones got up, and he blocked his daughter behind him, turned around and scolded: "Get out of the house, run out and die?" ”

"Bang", the lower abdomen was kicked by the evil man, and the pain made him squat on the ground holding his stomach.

"Daddy, Daddy." Ping'er hugged his arm and cried, and the entire courtyard seemed to be empty, and no one came out.

Boss Zhao vomited blood and recuperated at home, the size of the room revolved around him, the old lady was so angry that she had angina, and was also sent to the old family to be raised by the second daughter-in-law, but this old mansion was only left with Zhao Lao Er and Ping'er to take care of the house.

"Damn, Lao Tzu made you cry!" Annoyed by Ping'er's crying, the villain Zhang Quan reached out to pull the little girl's neck and wanted to throw her out.

"Tsk! Who is this, such a majestic style! Suddenly, there was a sneer, and a thin monkey-like figure walked in from the gate, with yellow teeth and a sneer, walking slowly and full of arrogance.

"Get out!" Zhang Quan saw that the person who came in didn't know, and knew that he must be the master who didn't open his eyes in the field, and he came here to coax the seedlings, and he really didn't know how to write dead words.

The thin monkey ignored him, turned around and respectfully greeted a handsome young man who had just entered the door: "Master, why did you come in, a few rough people from the countryside, I didn't have to pollute your eyes, why didn't you wait for the slaves to send them away." ”

The young man shook the folding fan, as if the noise in the courtyard had nothing to do with him, he came to the little girl leisurely, squatted down, picked up the sugar gourd on the ground, and then frowned and said, "It's dirty." He smiled and looked at the little girl: "Little sister, don't cry, my brother will buy you a new one in a while, a big string, okay?" ”

Ping'er just hugged her father's arm and whimpered and cried, Second Brother Zhao still didn't catch his breath, and his lower abdomen still hurt badly, but the situation in the courtyard was clear, and he was very surprised, who is this?

"Look for death!" Zhang Quan couldn't help but get angry when he saw the appearance of no one next to the young man, and he wanted to smash the young man in the face with his fist, and he had to knock out a few teeth of this little white face.

Ah, Zhang Quan's fist had not yet been struck, and he felt a pain in his wrist, and when he turned around, he saw a man like an iron tower looking at him coldly, and his wrist was firmly clamped with a big iron tong.

"Hit, hit me!" Rui Si saw that these countrymen were lawless, and he wanted to do something to the little prince, so he stomped his feet and shouted!

And in the courtyard, there was a mess immediately, the figures flickered, and there was a scuffle.

Ye Zhao said to Second Brother Zhao with a smile: "Let's talk in the house, don't frighten the child." ”

Zhao Lao Er looked stupid, "bang", a man who was sawing trees was ruthlessly on the head, staggered back a few steps, and fell at the feet of Zhao Lao Er. ”

Entering the side hall of the wing room, Zhao Lao Er peeked at the movement outside from the gap in the openwork window lattice, but Ye Zhao asked Ping'er with a smile what her name was, how old Yunyun was, and after a while, she became familiar with the little girl.

However, seeing that Ping'er and Aunt Zhao were like each other, they had been entangled since they were children, and sighed softly in their hearts, although Ye Zhao knew, in fact, the three-inch golden lotus had a touching style, and the photos circulating on the Internet in later generations were all old and ugly to the owner, and secondly, they deliberately highlighted their evil, if it was really that disgusting, were the men of more than a hundred years ago and the amorous gentlemen of more than 100 years ago all mentally disabled?

But Ye Zhao naturally appreciates Tianzu more, and also knows how painful it is for a woman to bind her feet since she was a child, fortunately, the matchmaker is a Hakka family in Guangxi, and Rong'er is a flag person, and neither of them has bound their feet.

I don't know when I will be able to shout out the idea of "letting go of my feet", but this will have to wait for the right time and place.

"Uncle, what are you frowning, aren't you beautiful!" Ping'er was bold, and reached out to caress Ye Zhao's brow, causing Ye Zhao to laugh.

And Second Brother Zhao only cared about the movement outside, and he had no time to reprimand his daughter for not understanding the rules.

When Ye Zhao and Ping'er were laughing and chatting, Rui Si came in with a curtain, bowed and said, "Master, there are a total of seven bandits, all of them have been captured, and the slave let one go back to report the news." ”

Ye Zhao just smiled and said, "Okay, let's beat the Shi family's pumping today and see how horizontal his Shi family is!" ”

"Wow!" Rui Si got up and slowly stepped back.

Second Brother Zhao was taken aback when he saw it, this style is not an ordinary person, he looked at Ye Zhao, and said carefully: "Master, you, where are you from?" You, do you know the Shi family? ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "You don't care about this, in short, I won't let you suffer, if you have high foam, give me a bowl, my mouth is a little dry!" If you come on horseback, how can I stand up to the upheaval of my bones? ”

"Hey! Be! The little ones are really confused, confused! You wait, I'll boil water, there has been a lot of trouble at home in the past two days, and there is no one boiling water. Second Brother Zhao said, and he was busy boiling water, and the majestic young men in the courtyard were like little tigers, and Second Brother Zhao was extremely afraid, so he could only take a detour from afar.

……

Drinking tea, Ye Zhao chatted with Second Brother Zhao for nothing, but when he heard another noise in the courtyard, Second Brother Zhao was always worried, but he was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

Ye Zhao shook the folding fan and smiled: "It's okay." Before the words fell, I heard a loud noise in the courtyard and screamed.

Second Brother Zhao was sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't know what to do, but Rui Si came in and beat a thousand again: "Master, twenty-three people in the Shi family's house were captured, four were injured by firearms, and the slave let one person go back, asking him to bring a message to the Shi family, a small life of two hundred taels of silver, and call the Shi family to ransom people." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

Second Brother Zhao was weak in his legs, and secretly looked at Ye Zhao, he really didn't know where this young master was.

Ye Zhao instructed Rui Si again, "Go, buy a few strings of sugar gourds, I heard that the hemp flowers and sugar gourds in Tianjin are the most famous, and they will be sacrificed." ”

Rui Si said yes and walked backwards.

When Rui Si bought the sugar gourd, Ye Zhao and Ping'er giggled and ate it, there was another commotion outside the courtyard, Rui Si hurriedly ran out, and after a while, he came back and said: "Master, the poor person from Jinghai County was blocked by the famous brand of Bakshi!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Okay! It's really a hand-eye, why did Jinghai County go earlier, to handle the case, and to ask his Shi family to speak! ”

Rui Si laughed wryly, not daring to answer.

Bakshi is a third-class guard of King Zheng's Mansion, and he is a military attache from Wupin, even if he comes from Jinghai County, how dare he offend him? Not to mention the small fish and shrimp in the yamen.

Speaking of which, if Ye Zhaoruo was crowned as the prince of the world in the previous examination, according to the regulations, he could be equipped with four first-class guards, four second-class guards and eight third-class guards, and the first-class guards of the palace according to the grade were from the third rank and the second-class guards were from the fourth rank. That is, at his young age, he can take a bunch of third- and fourth-grade military attaches to hang around in Yanjing City.

Now, he can only rely on the prince's guards to bluff people, but then again, this time he came to Tianjin, he relied on Bakshi and other guards to bluff people, Ye Zhao categorically will not reveal his identity to provoke criticism, it is one thing to be guessed, and it is another thing for you to swagger and show your name.

It's really a little boring in the capital, Ye Zhao came to Tianjin to relax.
