An hour later, Xu Liang, the trilateral governor Yang He, and the master Song Shiwen appeared at the gate of the governor's mansion at the same time.

And the personal soldiers outside the Governor's Palace, and even the tens of thousands of Liang soldiers outside, saw that Governor Yang actually sent Xu Liang out of the yamen very politely.

Xu Liang nodded slightly at Sima Qiudao and Tietou, causing Liang Jun to let down his guard. Xu Liang turned back to Governor Yang and said, "Your Excellency, I hope you will abide by the agreement between us. ”

The corners of Governor Yang's mouth twitched, but when he heard this, he smiled and said: "General Xu just restrain your subordinates, this governor's side, General Xu doesn't have to worry." ”

Xu Liang didn't say anything anymore, turned around and walked to his mount, stepped on horseback, and shouted at Liang Jun: "Collect the team, go back to Pingliang!" ”

As Xu Liang ordered the Liang army to withdraw from Guyuan City, the tens of thousands of Liang troops surrounding the Governor's Mansion lined up in a long line and evacuated in an orderly manner. The trilateral governor Yang He and his master Song Shiwen watched the black pressure of the Liang army array outside the city leave on the tower of Guyuan City, and the dusty scene of the cavalry battalion finally leaving on horseback, Governor Yang's face was ugly, and at the same time, he was also afraid for a while.

"Xu Liang, this guy, really dares to lead a large army to surround Guyuan City! This person is lawless, and if he can't be subdued with one blow in the future, don't anger him. Governor Yang said to Master Song Shiwen with a complicated expression.

Song Shiwen's face turned red and he was silent. This time, Xu Liang was bullied to the door, and Song Shiwen regarded it as a great shame.

The two stood thoughtfully on the city tower for a while, and suddenly heard the sergeant defending the city shouting: "Look, General Wan has returned to the city!" ”

Governor Yang and Song Shiwen looked around, only to see that at the end of the official road where the Liang army had left, the Guyuan guerrilla general Wan Wenshan led an army towards Guyuan City.

Governor Yang's face sank when he saw it, and he snorted coldly.

Song Shiwen gritted his teeth and cursed: "This Wanwen Mountain is really timely!" As soon as Xu Liang left, he came back! ”

Then. Another soldier pointed outside the city and shouted in surprise: "Hey, isn't that Lu Zhizhou's carriage?" Lord Lu has also returned to the city! ”

On another small road outside the city that deviated from the official road, the iconic carriage of Lu Chengyuan, the governor of Guyuan, swayed towards Guyuan City.

Song Shiwen smiled very angrily, and was about to sneer two more sentences, only to see Yang He, the governor of the three sides, snort angrily, and went down to the city with his sleeves. Song Shiwen was stunned for a long time. The two groups of men and horses outside the city sneered a few times, and also followed down the city.

Xu Liang led the Liang army back to Pingliang City, Sima Qiudao took the Liang army back to Dongda Camp to station, and Xu Liang entered Pingliang City.

At the gate of Pingliang City, Lu Yifa, the prefect of Pingliang, Huang Daozhou, Dai Feng, the deputy general of Pingliang, Luo Rucai, Guo Tianxu, the county governor of Pingliang, and others have long been looking forward to it. saw Xu Liang's carriage enter the city. Huang Daozhou ran to the carriage with an arrow step, greeted Xu Liang, who was just about to get off the carriage, and shouted angrily: "My lord, you are too impulsive this time! ”

Xu Liang wanted to lead the Liang army to persecute Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and made arrangements with several henchmen before the departure of the Eastern Battalion, but Lu Yifa, Huang Daozhou and others were not notified. It's not that Xu Liang doesn't trust these two people enough, but Xu Liang understands. Although Lu Yifa and Huang Daozhou are loyal to themselves, they still have some loyal feelings in their bones.

In particular, Tongzhi Zodiac Week. Xu Liang was worried that if he told Huang Daozhou about his plan in advance, with Huang Daozhou's temperament, he would desperately stop himself.

In the face of Huang Daozhou's accusation, Xu Liang was not dissatisfied, and smiled at the henchmen at the city gate: "Let you worry." Fortunately, the goal of this action has been successfully achieved. ”

When everyone heard this, a relieved smile appeared on their faces, and Dai Feng asked, "Have you ever killed someone?" ”

Xu Liang smiled: "Soldiers are not bloody. ”

When they heard this, they all laughed merrily. So they hugged Xu Liang into the city, and the group went straight into Xu's mansion.

In the living room of the Xu Mansion. Xu Liang briefly recounted the process of leading the army to persecute Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and protect the number of the Liang army.

"This time, Yang Lao Pifu was most likely frightened by the official, and he has already written to the court, and the problem of Liang Jun's number will not be withdrawn in a short time." Xu Liang looked at all the henchmen and said: "But Old Horseman Yang has suffered a big loss this time, and he will not give up, so I want to ask you to maintain a superficial peace with Old Horseman during this period of time." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll know." The henchmen said.

Sending all the henchmen out of the Xu Mansion, Xu Liang went to the inner courtyard of the Xu Mansion, where Feng Suqin, the eldest lady of the Xu Mansion, was preparing a table of wine and food, waiting for Xu Liang to come back.

Xu Liang glanced at the wine and food on the table, rubbed his hands, sat down, and smiled at Feng Suqin: "Madam calculated that I would come back at this time, and specially asked the kitchen to prepare it?" ”

Feng Suqin poured wine for Xu Liang, looked at Xu Liang carefully, and said, "I heard that Xianggong returned triumphantly, and the concubine specially asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food to celebrate Xianggong's success." ”

Xu Liang laughed and praised: "Madam has a heart." He knew that he had made such a bold move, and Feng Suqin must have been very frightened of himself at home, so he raised his glass to Feng Suqin and said, "Let Mrs. worry about me, this cup to Mrs. ”

……

After the meal, Xu Liang leaned on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, Feng Suqin brought a cup of hot tea for Xu Liang and put it on the coffee table next to him, Feng Suqin said: "Xianggong, in the matter of honeycomb coal, several members of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce have agreed to use our coal and stoves, and Lord Lu Yifa has ordered the officials at all levels in Pingliang Mansion to use Liang Ji's honeycomb coal. ”

The Pingliang Government and the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce agreed to use honeycomb coal, which was originally expected by Xu Liang, and when he heard this, Xu Liang still did not open his eyes, but nodded lightly, indicating that he already knew.

Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang with disgust, and said: "It's just that there is a problem in this, the production place of honeycomb coal is in Hanzhong Mansion, which is too far away from Pingliang Mansion, and Liang Ji's honeycomb coal has to be transported from Hanzhong to Pingliang, and if it is transported by horse-drawn carriage, this transportation cost alone is a big waste." ”

Xu Liang opened his eyes at this time, looked at Feng Suqin and said: "Honeycomb coal was originally taken the road of making profits and making quick turnover, if the distance is too far and the freight cost is too high, the profit will be greatly reduced." This was my previous negligence. Suqin, what are you going to do? ”

After Feng Suqin found out about this problem, she had a preliminary idea in her heart, and when she heard Xu Liang ask, she said: "If you want to solve the problem of high freight, the best way is to open a new manufacturing factory in Pingliang." Xianggong, I've already inquired. There are also coal mines in Pingliang Province, and the coal source is not a problem. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This is a good way, so let's do it." ”

After the matter of building a honeycomb coal factory in Pingliang Mansion was decided, Xu Liang thought of another matter. Chao Feng Suqin said: "The sales channels of the government and the chamber of commerce must be spread, and those ordinary people are also a market with great potential, and the promotion of this piece cannot be left behind." ”

Feng Suqin saw that Xu Liang said solemnly, and looked at Xu Liang intently and sneered.

Xu Liang looked at Feng Suqin in surprise and said suspiciously: "What, am I not right?" ”

Feng Suqin covered her mouth and chuckled: "Xianggong, it's not that you're wrong, it's that you're too anxious now." Liang Kee Mining's stall has just been set up. The output of the factory in Hanzhong is limited, and only the supply to the government and Liang Ji shops are a little tight, and the factory in Pingliangfu will not be able to be built for a while and a half, and Pingliangfu is basically in a state of shortage. We have to first meet the supply of goods from the government and the Chamber of Commerce, and then consider the problems of ordinary users. ”

Xu Liang thought about it, smiled dumbly, and said, "It's me who is too anxious." ”

Feng Suqin remembered something, got up and went to the study to get a letter. Handed it to Xu Liang and said: "This is sent back by Ge Qiao, the big shopkeeper of the world, a few days ago, and another fake Liang name was found in Guangdong." The small workshop for making soap paste, after the shopkeeper Ge got the news, he had already rushed to deal with it himself. ”

Xu Liang read the letter, and he had heard several times before about the problem of Liang Kee's soap paste being repeatedly copied.

Feng Suqin said: "The problem of counterfeiting has not stopped since the day Liang Ji soap paste was produced. Like the shopkeeper like this. Blindly running around after the fact is not the way to go. ”

Xu Liang also felt helpless, stroked his forehead and sighed: "Counterfeit imitation has existed since ancient times, and it is difficult to completely eradicate it. ”

Feng Suqin said worriedly: "Xianggong." I'm not worried about Liang Kee soap, I'm worried about honeycomb coal. I have also seen how to make honeycomb coal, and it is not complicated. I am worried that once Liang Kee's honeycomb coal is produced in large quantities, merchants from all over the country will follow suit, so that Xianggong's idea of selling honeycomb coal in large quantities in the northwest region will be difficult to realize. ”

Xu Liang frowned, Feng Suqin really woke up the dreamer with a word. Originally, Xu Liang planned to make honeycomb coal, because the market potential of honeycomb coal is huge, and after large-scale production, the overall income is very considerable. But all this is based on the fact that Liang Kee's honeycomb coal has a large market share.

If honeycomb coal manufacturing plants appear in various places, the sluggish coal mines in the northwest region are rushing to the honeycomb coal market, resulting in an oversupply of honeycomb coal in various places, and vicious competition among several manufacturers, it will make the profits that are already very good to shrink again and again, and in the end, the situation of Liang Ji Mining is likely to be like when Cai Mao was operating outside, unable to make money.

Xu Liang's brows were almost twisted together, and he lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he raised his head, and his eyes were clear.

Feng Suqin said happily: "Xianggong has thought of a solution?" ”

Xu Liang nodded slowly and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to do this thing so early. But now that the situation is compelling, this matter must be put on the agenda. ”

Feng Suqin also became curious, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Liang walked to the window, pushed the window open with both hands, and a gust of wind blew in from the window. Xu Liang stood in front of the window, looked at the pond and water pavilion outside the window, and said: "If you want to suppress the bad trend of counterfeiting, the only way to do this is to unite and resist together." ”

Feng Suqin understood it at one point and said, "Xianggong said it, but the Chamber of Commerce? Just like the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce? ”

"It's similar to the Chamber of Commerce, but it's a little bit bigger." Xu Liang said: "The Pingliang Chamber of Commerce where Mrs. is now located can only affect a place in Pingliang Mansion at best, and what the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce said under the rule of Pingliang Mansion may be listened to by other people who open shops and do business, but as long as they leave Pingliang City, the words of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce will not work." ”

Feng Suqin tilted her head, thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and said, "I understand, Xianggong is talking about the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Xu Liang shook his head, looked at Feng Suqin, smiled slightly, and said, "The pattern of the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce is still too small. ”

Feng Suqin's eyes widened, the pattern of the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce is too small? What kind of organization should that be? Suddenly, Feng Suqin thought of something and looked at Xu Liang in shock.

Xu Liang naturally knew what Feng Suqin had in mind, and meeting Feng Suqin's gaze, Xu Liang nodded solemnly and said, "Madam, you didn't guess wrong. What I want is a big chamber of commerce that covers the two capitals and 13 provinces of Daming. In fact, this goes beyond the scope of the Chamber of Commerce by geography. So, I'm going to give it the name of the Chinese Entrepreneur Association. ”

Xu Liang's eyes exuded a confident look, with his hands behind his back, and he talked eloquently, quite pointing out the country and stimulating the artistic conception of words.

"The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to protect the brands of inventive and creative products such as Liang Kee soap cream, Liang Kee honeycomb coal, and Liang Kee well salt. To put it simply, it is through the General Chamber of Commerce, within the scope of the Ming Dynasty, to inform these three things that are the exclusive products of my Liang Ji, and any other merchants must not counterfeit and imitate, otherwise, they will be resisted and spurned by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xu Liang waved his right hand vigorously, turned to look at Feng Suqin, grinned, and asked, "Madam, are you ready to be the president of the Chinese Entrepreneur Association?" ”

"Huh? Miscellaneous...... What the? Feng Suqin was already a little dumbfounded. Originally, she thought that after several years of getting along, Feng Suqin would be able to catch up with Xu Liang's thinking, but now it seems that she still has to step up her studies.

Xu Liang ignored Feng Suqin's confusion, and shouted outside the door: "Come on, go to Jingzhou and invite Liang Yinxian, and when Liang Lao comes over, he will say that the official has something very important to discuss." ”

The guards outside the door answered, and the footsteps were heard quickly moving away.

Feng Suqin came back from the shock, and when she heard that Xu Liang went to Jingzhou Liang Yinxian so quickly, she couldn't help but be so shocked: "Xianggong, you don't want to create that Chinese General Chamber of Commerce now, right?" ”

Xu Liang's eyes rolled, with a natural expression, and said: "Without further ado, as soon as Old Liang arrives, we will set the name of this China General Chamber of Commerce." ”

Feng Suqin walked up to Xu Liang with a look of surprise, touched Xu Liang's forehead, and said, "Xianggong, you don't have a fever, right?" ”

Xu Liang slapped Feng Suqin's hand on his forehead away, glared and shouted, "I'm very sober." ”

Feng Suqin pointed at Xu Liang, then pointed in the direction of Jingzhou, ate and said: "Xianggong, just, just our Xu family, and the Liang family, we want to create the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce?" Wouldn't that be too child's play? ”

Feng Suqin still had a string of words that he didn't say in his heart: The Chinese Chamber of Commerce, just hearing the name, I feel awesome, but if only Liang Ji and the Xu family are members of the Chamber of Commerce, it would be too self-deceptive! You must know that even the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, where Feng Suqin is now, has twenty or thirty merchants alone, and in this way, the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce still belongs to the small chamber of commerce among the more than a dozen chambers of commerce in Shaanxi.

However, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, which covers the two capitals and 13 provinces of Daming, has only two members, which is too nonsense!

Xu Liang threw a weird smile at Feng Suqin, and said faintly: "Let's call out the name of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce first, as for the members of the Chamber of Commerce, hehe, you can slowly add it in the future." (To be continued......)
