The conservatism of the big family is not to be said, and no one is willing to give up business to others without abundant profit drive. After Xu Yuanzuo came to Daming, the first setback should be on Shen Yujun. He can't use interests to persuade his cousin, and he can't use family affection to influence him, especially annoying that the force in his hands may not be comparable to others.

But in the end, they are still relatives, although the cooperation cannot be achieved, and the face is not completely torn.

The two drank two more glasses of rice wine and exchanged gifts before the meeting ended.

Xu Yuanzuo originally had the intention of going to Shanghai to visit Tang Jilu and Kang Chenghei. The former sent the post when he was still in the middle of the thigh, if he couldn't hug Xu Jie's thighs here, the former governor of Caojiang would also have an extremely thick golden thigh. Passing through Shanghai, going to pay a visit and giving some gifts is the number of courtesies that should be fulfilled.

As for the latter, it is the head of the Kang family, Kang Pengzu's father. He had been entertained by others, and he should have gone according to etiquette, even if Kang Pengzu was in the county seat now.

The gifts for these two families were actually brought, but because of Shen Yujun's refusal, Xu Yuanzuo really couldn't raise any interest. So he sent his family to send gifts, expressed his heart, and he didn't even bother to enter the city with a large army, and immediately turned around and returned to the county seat.

Shen Yujun sent someone to chase after him again. sent Xu Yuanzuo two people.

One is from Guangzhou, and the other is a Chongming person who can speak Cantonese. Both of them are masters of pigeon taming, and they were specially recruited for Xu Yuanzuo. Xu Yuanzuo wanted ten that day, but in Shen Yujun's opinion, it was too unobtrusive, so he only recruited two to come over.

Shen Yujun originally wanted to comfort his cousin, but in the end he ruthlessly rejected the matter of the two companies' joint shares. However, Xu Yuanzuo originally wanted to arrange a pigeon farm at various points, so ten people is definitely a few. Now that there are only two people here, then you have to train your own children, wouldn't it delay the progress!

Therefore, the effect of relief was not achieved, but it was even more congested.

Xu Yuanzuo called Mei Chenggong: "Tell these two masters about our welfare." Let them recruit some more relatives and friends who are of the same level and can take charge of their own pigeon farms. Whether it's Guangzhou or Chongming, as long as we can tame pigeons, we want them. ”

Mei successfully responded to the order. First wrote down this order in a small notebook, and then went to convey Zoger's interest in flying pigeons.

After Xu Yuanzuo returned to the county town, before he had time to arrange the pigeon farm, he was asked to meet by Hai Rui.

As Xu Gelao's family, he passively enjoys the aura of bureaucracy, which is not something that officials can summon at will. Zheng Yue's side is because there are teachers and students, and it is natural to call around, and no one can say anything. However, Hai Rui's side has no such relationship, so he wants to see Xu Yuanzuo. You still have to bow your head and hand over the post.

Hai Rui didn't want Yushi to grab the handle, saying that he knelt and licked Xu Jie, so he didn't come to visit. After presiding over Songjiang Mansion for three months, he finally asked Xu Yuanzuo to go to the government to negotiate, which was inevitably interpreted as concession and compromise.

Xu Yuanzuo felt that this was not Hai Rui's character, and he lacked information for a while, so he couldn't analyze anything, so he reported it to Xu Jie first.

Xu Jie is well aware of the concerns of local officials. He was originally a clear stream. He belongs to the kind of person who can enter the cabinet by compiling national history, writing articles, and talking about morality in Beijing. Later, he offended Zhang Fujing and was demoted all the way to Nanping, Fujian as a magistrate. From this position. He was promoted to the same governor of Huangzhou Prefecture, the deputy envoy of Zhejiang and Jiangxi...... It's really a step by step kill the position of the first assistant.

It is precisely because of this life experience that he has a deep understanding of the Ming officialdom, and I am afraid that no one can match it.

"Haigang Peak has no foundation, and fires are put out everywhere." Xu Jie is now concentrating on compiling books, and he rarely cares about the political situation.

"What does the eldest father mean that there is a change in Suzhou?" Xu Yuanzuo said softly.

"Why did the imperial court put Wu Fuzhi's place in Suzhou?" Xu Jie chuckled: "It's just because Suzhou is more important than Songjiang. Now he can barely use his strength on Matsue's side. What if you don't go back to Suzhou? ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded and was taught.

"It's thanks to you." Xu Jie sighed.

Xu Yuanzuo was a little surprised: "My grandson didn't do anything." ”

"You asked the prefecture and county to check the commercial tax, and the land lawsuit can only be resolved by Hai Rui himself. He is not beaten with iron, how can he take care of it? Xu Jie squinted at Xu Yuanzuo: "Your trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, didn't you put him high?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo pretended to be modest, and smiled: "It's really crooked." In fact, the grandson's original intention was just to enrich the national tax. ”

Xu Jie said: "The old man doesn't know the mall. However, shopping malls, officialdom, and battlefields are all reasonable. Hai Rui has been in Songjiang, how will the businessmen in Suzhou react? If you take a long-term view, what kind of pattern is Su Song? ”

Xu Yuanzuo was mentioned by Xu Jie, and suddenly thought of the famous "Dongting Merchant Gang" in history.

The merchant gang is named after Dongting, but it has nothing to do with Dongting Lake.

On the shore of Taihu Lake in Wu County, Suzhou, there are Dongting East Mountain and West Mountain. The people of these two mountains, from the Song and Yuan dynasties to the present, have been in charge of Jia Ye, so they have achieved the Dongting Merchant Gang. Because they had too much influence, the Suzhou merchants took them as their leaders, and they became the leaders of the Suzhou merchants.

The Dongting merchant gang is located throughout the country, the vertical one runs through the canal, and the horizontal one connects the two lakes of Jingxiang and Xiang, and I heard that there were once 350,000 Dongting business travelers living in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Songjiang merchants are more like suppliers of their products than others.

"They will flock to Songjiang to buy land and buy real estate." Xu Yuanzuo figured it out after thinking about it.

Hai Jui cleared the fields here, forced the wealthy to return to the fields, and among the profiteers who sued for fertilizer, the yeoman farmers were a minority after all, and more were willing to sell their fields for self-fertilizer and put the benefits in their pockets. In terms of the current Songjiang, no big investors will be burned at this time, so the influx of capital in Suzhou will become inevitable.

Suzhou merchants did not buy land in Songjiang to cultivate grain, but to grow mulberry and hemp and other cash crops. This is tantamount to meddling in Songjiang's raw material supply.

After the transformation of the Xu family, commerce has become the main pillar, and Tianmu has taken a back seat. If the price of raw materials fluctuates next year, Xujia Cloth Bank will bear the brunt.

-- We can't let those Su Lao get their hands on our raw material pricing power!

Xu Yuanzuo felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.

The mall war seemed to have come a little earlier than he had expected.

Xu Yuanzuo came out of Xu Jie's study, and only then did he react: Xu Jie's seeing him at this moment was not because of Hai Rui, but because he had already discovered the signs of a business war. This made Xu Yuanzuo think carefully: What kind of sense of smell do you have to be so keenly aware of such a general trend?

Is this what Lao Tzu said: If you don't go out of the house, you know the world; Don't peep, see the way of heaven?

It's too mysterious, isn't it?

In any case, the most direct way to deal with it at the moment is to drive Hai Rui back to Suzhou, monitor the movements of Suzhou merchants, integrate the various churches in Songjiang, and strive to integrate a Yunjian merchant gang with Renshoutang as the backbone as soon as possible.

――Matsue is known as Yunma, and it seems that he has taken a big advantage in naming it!

Xu Yuanzuo stepped out of the door and shouted Qimiao: "Prepare your shoulders and go to the mansion!" ”
