Yecheng

Two months have passed since Liu Tai last entered Yecheng, and under the escort of Dian Wei, Xu Chu and fifty brocade guards, Liu Tai walked through the downtown and directly visited the Zhen family's station in Yecheng.

"Lord Liu, wait a minute, the little one will go and report to the master." The next person saw that Liu Tai handed over the name card that said Liaoxi and the right Beiping Taishou, General Liu Tai, and immediately made a big salute, and after speaking, he trotted into the door.

"Lord, this Zhen family deserves to be the first merchant in the Han Dynasty, this façade... Tut-tut is comparable to the prince and noble. Xu Chu looked at the huge stone lions placed on the left and right in front of Zhen's house, and shook his head and said.

", this Zhen family was originally the largest family in Jizhou, the head of the Zhen family was the supreme official Cai Ling when he was young, and the ancestor Zhen Han served as the Han Taibao, which can be regarded as the ancestral gate of the scholar family." Liu Tai smiled helplessly, and then suddenly frowned, remembering Zhen Mi's record in the official history, his father died violently when he was three years old, but the current head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yi, looks rich and strong, and he doesn't look like a person who died early at all.

Shaking his head, he gave up the messy thoughts in his mind, looked at the gate of Zhen's house, and saw Zhen Yi walking with a big smile on his face, and said as he walked: "Hahaha, I don't know if the virtuous son-in-law is visiting, the old man is sluggish, fast forward, fast forward..."

"Tai has seen Lord Yue... I wish Lord Yuezhang a blessed life and good health..."Many people are not strange, Liu Tai stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Zhen Yi and said, and then glanced at the brocade guard behind him, only to see Zhang Daniu, who took the lead, holding a brocade box and sending it to Liu Tai.

"Uncle Yue, this is the spoils obtained in the Hushan Pass when the previous battle against the Wuheng cavalry, the original name is Xiao Son-in-law, but Xiao Son-in-law saw its unusual things, this time I came to see my father-in-law, and it was not good to come empty-handed, so I sent it to my father-in-law, a little care, not a tribute, I hope that my father-in-law will accept it..."

"Okay, good, jade has six colors, if there is no decades of hand-in-hand warmth, it is difficult to produce this peerless jade, and it is rare to come in pairs, this gift, the old man will accept it." Zhen Yi smiled and said with a smile on the jade bi in Liu Tai's hand.

"Oh, hurry, I almost snubbed Xianxu, Xianxu quickly entered, standing at the gate, rude and rude." Zhen Yi came back to his senses, hurriedly grabbed Liu Tai's left hand, and walked to the mansion and said.

After a while, everyone took their seats in Zhen Yi's mansion, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu were like door gods guarding the door gate of the inner hall.

"Xianxu, this time I'm not here just to offer a pair of jade, right?" Zhen Yi, who is old and sophisticated, looked at Liu Tai with a smile and said.

Liu Tai's face was embarrassed, he shook his head, and said unspeakably: "I am not satisfied with my father-in-law, my son-in-law came this time for the sake of the food and grass of the displaced people..."

"Oh? Didn't Brother Junlang transfer a large amount of grain and grass and Xianxu in the Jizhou Mansion? Isn't it enough? Zhen Yi frowned slightly, and asked out loud.

"Hey....Uncle Yue doesn't know the tragic situation of the current flow, now the second batch of displaced people has broken the 400,000 mark, every time the displaced people come to ask for help from Thailand, as high as 40,000 or 50,000, and then drag on for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that it will be millions, and the grain and grass in the Jizhou treasury can only barely feed the displaced people." Liu Tai said with a sad face, and looked at Zhen Yi's expression from time to time.

Zhen Yi "en", nodded with a heavy expression and said: "It's really good, the old man heard that the Central Plains was in a catastrophe, and millions of people were affected in Huainan alone, if he didn't rescue in time, my big man would probably be in this catastrophe, and his vitality would be greatly damaged, but the old man is also single, although the firm under Zhen's name is trying its best to rescue, but it is also a drop in the bucket, helpless..."

"Uncle Yue's kind deeds move the world, who in the world doesn't know? But the current difficulties have to be passed, the son-in-law has an opinion, and he presents it to his father-in-law, I don't know if the father-in-law intends to listen to it? Liu Tai nodded with a smile, such as among the four major commercial houses today, the Zhen family and the Mi family are the most concerned about saving the people, which is also the reason why Liu Tai did not object to the marriage with the Zhen family and the Mi family, of course, the Zhen family is a big family, and the forces within the clan are intertwined, and it is not Zhen Yi's final say, otherwise the strength of the Zhen family alone can supply all the food and grass needs of the victims for more than a year, not to mention the Mi family, a big merchant of grain and grass?

"Oh? Xianxu is here to ask for food? Zhen Yi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Tai with a smile on his face and said.

"That's true, but the son-in-law doesn't ask for his father-in-law's grain and grass in vain, and he will receive it at the same price." Liu Tai nodded and said.

"Hey..." Zhen Yi sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly: "How can the old man accept the gold and silver of Xianxu?" Helplessly, Xianxu came here but missed the opportunity, yesterday the old man had ordered the major commercial banks in eastern Hebei to adjust the balance to go south for disaster relief, and now except for a batch of grain and grass in the main vein of the Wuji Zhen family, the surplus in various places is not much, but the grain and grass of the main vein are under the control of the clan elders....hey..."

"Huh?" Liu Tai frowned, but Zhen Yi also opened a warehouse to release grain in order to save the people, and he had nothing to say, but the grain and grass of the Zhen family's main vein were in the hands of the clan elders, which was difficult to do.

"Xianxu still has a sense of sight, I don't know if my father-in-law can accept it?" Liu Tai sighed in his heart, and asked with a smile on his lips.

"Oh? What do you think, it doesn't hurt that the virtuous can come. Zhen Yi nodded, looked at Liu Tai and asked.

The corners of Liu Tai's mouth showed a hint of curvature, his fists tightened, his eyes narrowed slightly and stared at Zhen Yi, and he said to Zhen Yi word by word: "If... My father-in-law is willing to help my son-in-law with the strength of my family, and my son-in-law... I will send three percent of the dry shares of Kyushu Commercial Bank to my father-in-law!! ”

"What??" Zhen Yi got up in shock, Kyushu Commercial Bank, Zhen Yi can be regarded as a little understanding, although it has only been a month, but the goods under his name have swept the entire Han Dynasty, and the impact on the older generation of commercial houses in the major states and counties of Dahan is not light, especially in the second state of Youji, those strange commodities of Kyushu Commercial Houses are greatly sought after by the gate lord clan, and the Zhen family's commercial houses have suffered the greatest losses under the impact of Kyushu Commercial Houses, after all, Jizhou is the base camp of the Zhen family.

Because the main commodities of the Zhen family are in the restaurant, jewelry, silk and satin, ancient things, and Kyushu commercial houses are also slowly encroaching on the high-end market in Jizhou, among which the liquor and accessories have been the most impacted, originally Zhen's liquor store is the leader of the wine industry, and the Han is famous for its fine wine factory, but now compared with the old white dry of Kyushu commercial houses, it is almost the same as horse urine, the market has been completely washed away, and the price has been reduced to the lowest point ever.

And the jewelry, after the Kyushu firm launched a novel ornament called glass beads, it is a complete collapse, compared with the glittering and gorgeous shape of the glass beads, gold and silver jewelry, isn't it scum? Now, if the Zhen family can occupy 30% of the dry shares of Kyushu Commercial Bank, with the strength of Zhenjia Commercial Bank in all major states and counties of Dahan, it can almost dominate the entire high-end market of Dahan.
