A hint of disappointment flashed on Yang Daosheng's face, although these shops were still worth more than his property in Yingzhou, they still suffered a lot compared to the two to three times the windfall profits of Zhang Xiu and Dong Jingzhen.

Yang Daosheng's face fell all in Shen Liusheng's eyes, he laughed, and said, "In addition, half of the income from all the shops in Yingzhou will be given to the elder brother." Your six salt shops are equivalent to three more profits to you, so Brother Wang should be satisfied. ”

Yang Daosheng's face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and he thanked him with a smile.

Dong Jingzhen suddenly remembered something, glanced at Lei Shimeng, and said, "I don't know how much Brother Lei can get for more than 20 shops in Yingzhou?" ”

Shen Liusheng smiled "hehe" and said, "Lei Catcher, Xiao Gongzi said in particular, in order to reward him for many years of loyalty, I hope I can give him special attention." So I thought about it again and again, and decided to offer the eight silk villages, three cloth villages, two restaurants, eleven rice shops, and four salt shops in Jiangling City. ”

Lei Shimeng had already reached this agreement with Shen Liusheng, but when he heard it again this time, his heart was still as sweet as drinking honey, he laughed and said, "Boss Shen is really too generous!" ”

When Dong Jingzhen heard the list of shops that Shen Liusheng gave Lei Shimeng just now, her heart itched like a cat scratch, and even her eyes were a little red unconsciously.

A question mark suddenly appeared in his heart. Hurriedly said: "Boss Shen." You have spread all four of our industries into four states. Is it true that in the future, we will also be in these four places? ”

Shen Liusheng shook his head and said, "This is up to Gongzi Xiao and Empress Xiao to decide, but Gongzi Xiao once revealed that it is best to transfer the four of them to a place to serve in the military, so that they can form a joint force." ”

Dong Jingzhen's face sank suddenly, and his mood suddenly returned to the flat ground from the peak just now, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his voice: "According to Boss Shen, I will be an official in a different place." How can we run these shops that you have given us? ”

Shen Liusheng's face did not change, and said: "Well, this is the business of the four of them, and when the time comes, Shen will only be responsible for sending the deed of the store, and this business still needs to be done by the four themselves." ”

Dong Jingzhen stood up anxiously all of a sudden: "Boss Shen, you are painting a big cake for us, we are new to these places, we are not familiar with the place, and it has nothing to do with it." There was also no channel for purchase and sales, and only a bunch of empty stores were received. How does this allow us to operate? ”

Zhang Xiu also chimed in: "Yes, and we still have to be officials in other places, and we can't go over ourselves, how can this be good?" ”

Even Lei Shimeng, after giving Dong and Zhang such a reminder, immediately looked at Shen Liusheng, this time even his eyes had three points of doubt, but unlike several others, there were still three points of expectation in his eyes.

Shen Liusheng shook his head, there was still no expression on his face: "The four, Shen has nothing to do with this Yingzhou City, everyone knows that Shen only opened a horse market when he came here, and only once every three months in the big market Shen sometimes comes to visit, usually the business here is handed over to his subordinates to take care of, and the four of them are also people who have been doing business for many years, so they shouldn't be able to do everything." ”

Lei Shi opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Boss Shen, Lei didn't think of this layer before, just a few brothers mentioned this, there are indeed factors in this regard, I have been based in Yingzhou for many years, familiar with the way, and when doing business, I directly use the old way left by my father, and I really don't know the bottom of my heart about going to a new place to re-operate, can Boss Shen be a good person to the end, and then take more care of us?" ”

Shen Liusheng let out an "oh", still expressionless, making it impossible to see what was in his heart. He found a chair at the bottom of the living room and sat down, faced Lei Shimeng, and said, "What kind of care does Brother Lei want Shen to do?" ”

Lei Shimeng thought for a while and said, "Can you leave the warehouse inventory in these places, as well as a month's payment, and leave a few more competent account offices or guys who often deliver goods to help me get familiar with the situation?" ”

Shen Liusheng still couldn't see any joy, anger and sorrow on his face, and said, "Is that all?" ”

Dong Jingsheng suddenly spoke: "In my opinion, Mr. Accounts will be exempted, we can find our own Mr. Accounts here, but every store has to trouble Boss Shen to leave some guys who are responsible for purchasing and shipping, I just need to figure out the channels and methods of operation." Well, we'll count it at twice the wage. ”

Lei Shimeng looked at Dong Jingsheng and nodded with satisfaction, he had dealt with Dong Jingsheng for half his life, and knew that this person was mean and stingy, the reason why he was so generous this time was because he didn't want the people left by Shen Liusheng to take care of the money, and then control those shops, and he also wanted to use a high salary to dig into the corners.

Shen Liusheng's face sank, the nasolabial folds on the side of his nose moved, and there was a coldness in his voice: "Brother Dong's abacus is very fine, and he wants to dig into the corner of my brother before he cooperates." ”

Dong Jingsheng smiled on his face and said, "How come, it's not that we are not familiar with the local situation." At the beginning stage, I just needed Boss Shen to do me a favor. ”

Shen Liusheng smiled "hehe", revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "It's not a brother, I don't want to cut my love, it's really because those key things are handed over to the old brothers who came to Jingxiang with me to do, and now I have even given up the business in Jiangling, that is, to deal with Wang Shichong in this Yingzhou, if I have no one under my command, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to gain a foothold in this Yingzhou, you have already earned a lot, and it will be a little too much to say if you have to make an inch!" ”

Dong Jingsheng wanted to speak again, but Lei Shimeng stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, and said to Shen Liusheng with a smile: "Boss Shen, I think this is good, we are not in a hurry to deliver, but our store will send some capable guys to you, familiarize yourself with the operation of each store, and wait for three or five months." And so on. We can also start to move those shops along the way. After you are also familiar with the situation in Yingzhou, let's change it, how about it? ”

Shen Liusheng said coldly: "No, because the surname Wang won't give us this time." ”

When Lei Shimeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said instinctively: "Boss Shen, my lord said that this Wang Shichong's ambition is not in the land of Jingxiang. Can we afford to fight him here? ”

Shen Liusheng shook his head and said: "I'm not as optimistic as Xiao Gongzi, Yingzhou is not too far from the Eastern Capital, it is the closest state and county in Jingxiang to the Central Plains, even if Wang Shichong is really as Xiao Gongzi said, in the future, he will raise troops to fight for the Central Plains, in case of failure, his most likely move is to retreat to this Yingzhou, which has been operating for several years." ”

"The customs and life of Jingchu and the Central Plains are very different, and the Yongzhou (Xiangyang, Fancheng) in Jingbei is very different. The area of Yingzhou, today's northern Hubei) has always produced elite soldiers and strong generals. In addition, the terrain is dangerous, if the gateway to the north is not secured, Gangneung in the south will directly face the attack of the Central Plains army, and it will be difficult to defend. ”

"Back then, Emperor Xuan of Liang State surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty with the land of Xiangfan, and then led the Wei army to directly capture Jiangling, so Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan didn't even have a chance to react."

"Although Jiangling is located in the Yangtze River, it can go up to Bashu and down to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is the most important city on the Yangtze River.

"So I must resist Wang Shichong's expansion in this Yingzhou, and I can't let him put his hand here in the past few years as a assassin, which is also my agreement with your son-in-law. Everyone, Shen is not a fool, he gave up his industry in the four southern states, not all to make up for your losses, but more importantly, to concentrate all his strength to deal with this Wang Shichong. ”

After hearing this, Lei Shimeng thought for a moment and said, "Boss Shen, although I have never known where your lord is sacred, and my lord has also strictly ordered me not to inquire, but there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Shen Liusheng smiled slightly: "Lei catches the head, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Hey, since I have resigned from this position as a head catcher, there is no need to call me that anymore, it's just that our lord once ordered us, that Wang Shichong is extraordinary, and he has also reached some kind of agreement with him, and now it can be regarded as our ally, Boss Shen, you should know about it." Lei Shimeng stared at Shen Liusheng tightly and said meaningfully.

Shen Liusheng nodded, and said with a straight face: "Yes, Xiao Gongzi said so, but he also said that this Wang Shichong and us are not of the same mind after all, and now they are just using each other. ”

Lei Shimeng smiled "hehe": "But Boss Shen, what is the difference between you and this Wang Thorn History?" Although the lord believes in you, cooperating with you is still equivalent to handing over the entire Northern Jingzhou to you, in case you also have your own plans, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous to us? ”

When Lei Shimeng said this, a fierce light faintly flashed in his eyes, and Dong Jingsheng, Zhang Xiu, and Yang Daosheng all turned their eyes to Shen Liusheng's mouth.

I saw a cold glint in Shen Liusheng's eyes, and he regained the expressionless state just now: "Brother Lei, you and I are both people who obey orders, so you don't need to knock on the side like this, who is my lord, Xiao Gongzi knows, but he didn't sue the four of you, which shows that even he thinks that you don't need to know about it, just do your own thing." ”

"Just like the identities of the four, Shen was not clear ten days ago, and it wasn't until ten days ago that Xiao Gongzi sent someone to send an urgent letter to Shen who was in Jiangling, and asked Shen to come here for a secret talk, and Shen knew that the four had always been Xiao Gongzi's right-hand men."

Dong Jingzhen said suddenly: "Wait a minute, Boss Shen, are you saying that ten days ago, the lord talked to you about exchanging our four properties in Yingzhou City?" That is to say, he decided to evacuate this Yingzhou ten days ago? ”

Shen Liusheng's expression became extremely stern, and he nodded very seriously: "Yes, just ten days ago, I rushed here that night, and talked with Xiao Gongzi in the suburbs all night, all about the general trend of Yingzhou and even the entire Jingxiang region in the future, and this deal with the four of you was also finalized that night." ”

Zhang Xiu moved his mouth: "Boss Shen, it's not my surname Zhang who looks down on you." It's just this kind of big thing that has a big deal on the whole situation. Are you qualified to make a decision? The four of us don't seem to have the right to decide whether to stay in Yingzhou. Or get out of here. ”

Shen Liusheng smiled "hehe", and his expression suddenly became gloomy and terrifying: "Who said that the four of them don't have this ability?" If it hadn't been for Shen Mou to show up just now, I'm afraid that the three of them would have decided to stay in Yingzhou on their own. ”

Zhang Xiu said with a red face, and snorted: "Isn't this the same thing, you are the clapper, we are just brothers first totaling the total." ”

Shen Liusheng waved his hand to stop Zhang Xiu's weak quibbles: "Brother Zhang, don't say more. Everyone knows that Shen is just joking. To tell you the truth, Shen naturally doesn't have the power to make decisions, but my father-in-law also appeared here that day, and he and Xiao Gongzi finalized the general direction, and Shen just reported the income and expenditure of some of these stores from a business perspective for the reference of the two masters. ”

Lei Shimeng sighed: "The lord is far-sighted, beyond our reach. But Boss Shen, since you participated in this secret meeting at that time. Can you reveal why the two lords haven't seen Wang Shichong yet. What about such a decision? ”

Shen Mou smiled slightly: "Well, it's inconvenient for Shen to say more, today I got acquainted with the four of you, and I will cooperate for a long time in the future, so I will reveal a little bit first, at that time, the two lords were not sure of Wang Shichong's true intentions to come here, because this Yingzhou assassin history was insisted on by Yang Su in the court, originally Yang Guang wanted to send him to Shuzhong or Lingnan, out of sight is pure, but Yang Su's attitude is resolutely beyond imagination. ”

"So at that time, my lord and Xiao Gongzi both believed that Wang Shichong was coming to the north gate of Jingzhou, and his edge was very sharp, and at that time, it had been discovered that some spies of unknown origin had infiltrated Yingzhou, and they were extremely well-trained, and they were by no means ordinary intelligence officers, and nine times out of ten they were capable spies sent by Wang Shichong to explore the way here."

"Wang Shichong, as the richest man in the world, his means of collecting intelligence, it can be imagined, since he has dispatched intelligence officers in Yingzhou, it is definitely impossible to just imagine Han Shige mixing for three years, Xiao Gongzi is about to enter Beijing, this Yingzhou must have a trustworthy person to guard, in order to deal with this Wang Shichong."

Lei Shimeng said coldly: "So the four of us are all people who the Lord can't trust?" ”

Shen Liusheng smiled slightly, and an indescribable expression flashed in his eyes: "Well, Shen doesn't dare to say it casually, after all, Xiao Gongzi is not Shen's lord, and it is inconvenient for Shen to guess his thoughts, if the four of you have any questions about this, you can ask Xiao Gongzi face to face." ”

Lei Shimeng was choked by Shen Liusheng all of a sudden, and Dong Jingzhen and others coincidentally stood on the same front with Lei Shimeng again after Shen Liusheng came out just now, and when he saw Lei Shimeng suffering, he immediately said: "Boss Shen, you don't have to be too proud, you still don't have much say in this matter, your lord is here, you were called over just to listen to his specific arrangements and instructions, what's the difference between you and a few of us?" ”

Shen Liusheng nodded: "Yes, so Shen knows his position very well, he is just a slave of the lord, I will do whatever the lord wants me to do, and I will do it to the letter." Therefore, the main guild directly called me to the scene of the secret conversation to order, and the four of them are probably used to being masters in this Yingzhou, and they are still very assertive, so Xiao Gongzi did not call a few of you to be present that day. ”

Lei Shimeng waved his hand: "Okay, it's really pointless to do this kind of war of words, since the lord has made up his mind to give up this Yingzhou early on, then there is no need to discuss with a few of us, we just have to obey the order." It's just that I don't know if Boss Shen agrees with me to wait for the mention just now, and temporarily press this delivery first, but send someone over to familiarize myself with the operation of the other party's store? ”

Shen Liusheng pondered for a while, and said: "I'm afraid that it won't work, I have to transfer the manpower over as soon as possible, otherwise, I'll let my subordinates come over first, you can find a way to settle my subordinates, there are two or three thousand people, if Yingzhou City can't stay, it's okay to temporarily settle in the county below, this can be done." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled: "No problem, there may still be a little nervousness in the city, but there are empty houses in the countryside." I can let my men take your brothers to live. ”

Shen Liusheng nodded: "As for your guys, you can go to Shen's shops now, and if there are not enough people, Shen can also leave some local guys hired in the local area." You just need to control the treasury and the books. As for the channels of purchase and sales. I'll also leave some old guys who are often on the road to help take you on a few trips. It's just that my people want to come to Yingzhou quickly, and this is not negotiable. ”

When Lei Shimeng heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and laughed: "Boss Shen is really refreshing, okay, it's so decided, we can deliver the deed of the store first, as for the handover." As you said, we will need time to prepare for the next few places we will move to. ”

Dong Jingzhen and the other three immediately understood that Lei Shimeng was going to change the deed first, and then talk about it if there was a bargain, as long as there was a deed in hand, those shops would become their own, thinking of this, the three of them were all happy in their hearts, but there was still no expression on their faces.

Shen Liusheng also heard what Lei Shimeng meant. I secretly scolded these guys in my heart for being insatiable, but there was still a smile on my face: "Then it's decided." Shen has already brought all the deeds over, I wonder if a few of them have also brought them? ”

Dong Jingzhen smiled embarrassedly: "Boss Shen, you also heard it just now, the three of us didn't plan to hand over today when we came, so ......"

Shen Liusheng sighed: "Then we'll hand it over another day." Now I'm going to leave for Gangneung right away and say goodbye. After saying that, he arched his hand and turned around to leave.

Lei Shimeng and the others were in a hurry, afraid that there would be changes in his departure, so they hurriedly stopped Shen Liusheng, their faces were full of smiles, and said: "Boss Shen, why rush at this time, I asked my three brothers to go back to get the deed now, you wait a while, okay?" ”

Shen Liusheng snorted, and was about to speak, but he heard an urgent sound of footsteps outside, and ran to the door alone, and said in a loud voice: "Master, there is a guest visiting!" ”

Lei Shimeng was slightly stunned, then turned his head and scolded outward: "A slave who doesn't have a long memory!" Didn't you say that you won't see you today! Don't get out of here! ”

The man at the door hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Master, but this person is extraordinary, he said, he said that he was ordered by Wang Tingshi to come to visit the master." Didn't you say that if someone from Wang Tingshi came there, he had to report it quickly? ”

Lei Shimeng felt "Geden" in his heart, he didn't expect that he and Shen Liusheng had not completely completed the settlement, but Wang Shichong sent someone to come to the door, he turned his head to look at Shen Liusheng with a cold face, and said, "Brother Shen, can you avoid it first?" ”

Shen Liusheng's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he said meaningfully: "Does Brother Lei have any dealings with this Wang Shichong, and it is inconvenient for Shen to know?" ”

Lei Shimeng barely squeezed out a smile: "How could it be, although my brothers are not successful, at most they are just distressed about their industry in Yingzhou, and they don't want to go out to start a second business, how can they be involved with that Wang Shichong?" ”

Dong Jingzhen and several others also heard that Shen Liusheng was doubting himself, and hurriedly followed Lei Shimeng's words to show his loyalty and innocence to Xiao Miao.

Shen Liusheng shook his head: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, since Shen has seen it, then I also want to listen to it carefully, because now these shops of yours are nominally owned by Shen, if you do any more transactions with Wang Shichong behind Shen's back, then Shen's interests will be lost, everyone, don't blame Shen for being rude." ”

Lei Shimeng knew that it was useless to talk too much, and said, "Then can Boss Shen deign to wait at that tunnel entrance first?" I'm waiting for the conversation here to catch up on your ears as well. ”

Shen Liusheng thought for a while and said, "It's okay!" Then he turned and strode behind the screen.

Dong Jingsheng and the others followed to take a look, only to find that a floor tile behind the screen was actually a secret door, and below it was the entrance of a black hole.

Dong Jingzhen laughed: "Brother Lei, when did you dig a hole in this living room?" ”

Lei Shimeng shook his head: "Brother Dong, this is not a cave, but a tunnel leading to the lord's residence!" ”

Dong Jingzhen was taken aback: "Authentic? "Lei Shimeng's family is also in the west of the city, but it is more than three miles away from Xiao Miao's house, and it will take at least hundreds of people to work for several months to dig such a long tunnel.

Shen Liusheng smiled "hehe": "Brother Dong, don't make a fuss, this tunnel was dug by Shen." (To be continued......)
