Business is business.

The Pinglu General's Mansion opened its door, which was Zhai Zhe's second time to solicit partners since he killed Hukou and Liu Quan.

Zhai Zhe mentioned Liu Quan, and also mentioned that he was born in the Zhai family, which can be described as bitter.

Liu Quan is a demonstration, so that some Hui merchants will not worry that Zhai Zhe will eat them alive. Liu Quan really didn't make much money in these years, and worked hard to sell furs, tea, grain, and silk, and buy restaurants and inns in various places, but all the income flowed into the Pingyu General's Mansion. But Shangmeng already has Zhai Zhe's shares, and in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Quan represents Zhai Zhe in some places, and the scenery is infinite.

In Ningshao and even Jiangnan, no government has ever dared to trouble the business alliance. Hangzhou's tooth shop once embarrassed the merchant alliance's goods, but the guards of the merchant league smashed the tooth shop with wooden sticks, and the matter went to the governor of Zhejiang, and finally it was over.

In the restaurant, the owners and proprietors of the wealthy merchants argued endlessly, and some were silent.

This is an opportunity, a chance to fight the tiger.

After the Hui merchants became rich, they often let their children seek the imperial examination and embark on a career in office, so they were able to promote the salt political reform, defeat the Jin merchants, and win the largest fat gap in the world. They had been working with the government and the imperial court, but no one had ever tried to work with a general.

Some people have been stable for a long time, and they no longer have the ambition to wear a pair of straw sandals to go out into the world like their ancestors, and dare to go to the East alone. The general trend of the world is unknown, and betting on the wrong treasure is the fate of death and annihilation. Some people regard generals as hungry tigers, and these people are saying it nicely now, when there is really no money, what can a businessman do? put the family property in vain, and it was not good that the bamboo basket was empty.

But no one can avoid one question, if General Pinglu really drove the Qinglu away from Jiangnan, what kind of opportunity are they missing now?

The question is actually very simple, to bet or not to bet?

When half an hour came, an old man in black in his fifties stood up first, took out two silver tickets from his sleeves, and walked in front of Fang Jin with his steps.

"Lord Qianhu, the villain is old and frail, and he is afraid of delaying the general's major affairs, so he doesn't dare to serve the general as much as he can. The general has worked hard to resist the Qing Dynasty, and here are 10,000 taels of silver tickets, which is a little bit of my heart. ”

Fang Jin's face was expressionless, and he got out of the way and said, "The general doesn't accept cash. ”

66 Some people stood up, these people went to the banquet today, and they all brought silver tickets, for fear that Zhai Zhe would forcibly ask for them, and they would not let them leave. Hearing Fang Jin say this, the hands they had originally put in their sleeves retracted again.

Everyone stood there nervously, but they didn't dare to leave, how could the meal invited by General Pingyu be eaten in vain.

If Fang Jin had accepted their silver, these people would inevitably spit on Zhai Zhe secretly, but General Pingyu looked at the silver tickets placed in front of him and didn't take them, how dare they move.

Another fat man squeezed up, his cheeks were fat on both sides, he handed over the silver ticket with both hands, and said: "These are our little thoughts to the sergeant of the army, please ask Mr. Qian to say a few kind words in front of the general, accept it!" ”

Fang Jin's face instantly turned black, and his tone was cold, "Who are you generals?" ”

The restaurant was silent for a moment, and the hand holding the silver ticket was raised in the air in embarrassment, this was the first time they met that no one wanted the silver given for nothing, but they had to give these silver tickets out and buy a peace of mind.

Fang Jin waved his hand and said, "The time has come, everyone has figured it out, please leave." ”

The two dozen or so people who walked up returned to their seats, muttering to each other. Finally, he concentrated the silver tickets in the hands of the three merchants who were sitting in place and did not move, and then pushed an old man first, went to Fang Jin, and said: "The Wang family of Huizhou, the Cheng family of Qimen, and the Zhu family of Xiuning are willing to serve the generals. ”

Fang Jin didn't speak with a cold face, as long as the silver wasn't handed over to him, why did he care so much.

And they departed in turn, 6 in turn.

When everyone was gone, the remaining three people got up and came to Fang Jin, a middle-aged man with a round face, a graceful gesture, and arched his hand: "Wang Yuan is here in Xiahuizhou!" He turned around and pointed to the two people behind him, and said, "These two are Cheng Jin of Qimen and Zhu Zhanyun of Xiuning, and they are willing to serve the general." ”

Fang Jin turned around and said, "Please come with me!" ”

The three of them went downstairs and headed for the prefect's yamen.

It was already dark, the streets were deserted, and a patrol of soldiers was approaching.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and Wang Yuan tightly grasped the silver tickets accumulated by the wealthy merchants in his right hand, a total of 200,000 taels of silver.

The Wang family in Huizhou was a salt merchant, and Wang Yuanzai had met Liu Quan in Hangzhou and knew something about Shangmeng and Zhai Zhe. He sat in the restaurant and weighed it for a long time, and finally decided to cooperate with Zhai Zhe. In troubled times, he has a fortune, if he doesn't find a backer, it will be difficult to ensure that he will not be targeted one day. Whether it is Zhai Zhe or Zhang Tianlu, whoever occupies Huizhou Mansion will not let go of the Wang family, and he spends some money to raise grain and grass for the Pinglu General's Mansion, which can be regarded as finding a backer for the Wang family.

Cheng Jin of Qimen was also a friend of Liu Quan, who operated tea and porcelain in various parts of the Yangtze River, and had always been envious of the official government as the backing of the Shang League, so he also wanted to take the opportunity to climb the high branch of the Pinglu General's Mansion. Zhu Zhanyuan, of Xiuning, ran a mining business in the mountains of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, and was interested in the business of armor and firearms, which Zhai Zhe said.

Fang Jin led the three of them to the yamen of Huizhou Mansion, and Zhai Zhe and Hu Caihou had been talking for half an hour.

It was just a momentary decision, and there was an immediate difference between intimacy and alienation in Zhai Zhe's heart. Zhai Zhe was busy with affairs, and Hu Caihou was able to talk with him for half an hour, which was regarded as seizing the opportunity.

No seats, no tea.

Clear-eyed people know that although General Pingyu is looking for someone to cooperate, he is actually giving a few people a clear way. For some people, Zhai Zhe is very easy-going, but for businessmen, he wants to use these people's money and connections, and he also wants to let these people understand who is in charge of their fate.

The three of them stood in front of Zhai Zhe and stated their thoughts in pairs. Wang Yuanzai and Cheng Jin are willing to manage grain and grass, and Zhu Zhanyun wants to manage Bingjia.

Zhai Zhe ordered Fang Jin to accept the silver ticket sent by Wang Yuanzai, and ordered Zhang Huangyan to write down the list of wealthy businessmen who donated silver taels, so that the list could be announced tomorrow to show his gratitude.

The war in Huizhou Mansion was not over, and with this silver, and with the help of merchants, Zhang Huangyan could send people to various places to buy grain, grass and military equipment, and his hands were immediately much looser. Fifty or sixty thousand rebels gathered in Huizhou Mansion, and eating, drinking, and Lazar all fell on his head, not to mention being equipped with armor and firearms.

Zuo Ruo, Fang Guoan, and Zheng Zunqian, who was stationed in Jingde County, would send the latest military information to the Chinese army every day.

Zhang Cunren was attacking Yuling Pass, and Zhai Zhe believed that Fang Guoan could hold there, and the only thing he was not sure would be that Zhang Cunren would make a detour to attack the Huizhou Mansion. Duoduo mobilized troops and horses to gallop to the aid of Huizhou Mansion, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, what he was most worried about was that the Qing army would attack Ningshao directly. If Duoduo marches into eastern Zhejiang, he will inevitably mobilize troops and horses to help, so that he will not be able to suppress Zhang Tianlu in Huizhou Mansion.

Now, Zhai Zhe is very satisfied, and Duoduo's decision shows that Qing Yu has lost his sharpness.

Not daring to take a risk is the greatest risk.

Zhang Tianlu was still in Jixi County, sandwiched between Jingde and Huizhou City, in a dilemma. Jingde and Huizhou gained and lost, losing six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, and Yang Shouzhuang and other henchmen and generals publicly surrendered, which demoralized the army. The scout had already figured out the way, and the road from Cuiling to Ningguo from the west of Jixi was unimpeded, and now he didn't seem to have any better choice than to retreat.

He didn't dare to attack Jingde, and he didn't dare to attack Huizhou. The banner of the Ming army was planted thirty or forty miles east of Jixi City, and he didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were, but he could feel that there were eyes in the deep mountains and dense forests staring at him secretly.

Huizhou is surrounded by mountains, and the temperature at night is cool.

The hot summer has passed, and this summer seems to have exhausted Jiangnan Qingyu's energy.

Night.

Zhai Zhe was listening to Zhang Huangyan's lecture about the city defense of Huizhou, and several checkpoints in the north of the city were guarded by the righteous army, and once Zhang Tianlu appeared there, Huizhou City could immediately get the news. Zhai Zhe worked hard for days, and when he heard midnight, he was already a little sleepy and absent-minded. In the blur, he has seen a ray of light, Jiangnan has a stalemate, and now he can only wait for the change of the battle situation in Huguang and Jiangxi, where he can guide the overall situation of the world to reverse.

People's hearts are the general trend, as long as the Qinglu shows a declining trend, the troops from all walks of life will soon be half-hearted, and the people who were originally waiting and watching will can't help but reach in and get a piece of the pie.

Zhang Huangyan is ten years younger than Zhai Zhe, and he is new to power and energetic.

The night passed, and the next day, he summoned the leaders of the righteous army from all walks of life and passed the general order of the general Pingyu.

"Each of the righteous armies can send a hundred hunting teams into the mountains and forests, and take a level of capture outside Jixi City, and you can receive a reward of ten taels of silver.

Zhang Tianlu does not withdraw his troops, the situation in Huizhou cannot be solved, and Zhai Zhe wants to put some pressure on him.

The mountains of Huizhou are high and densely forested, and many of the rebels are local hunters, and there is no difference between ambushing scouts and capturing wild beasts in the mountains and forests. As long as Zhang Tianlu can't get the news from the outside, he will never dare to stay in Jixi for a long time.

After dealing with the affairs of the righteous army for more than an hour, Zhang Huangyan immediately returned to Huizhou City and ordered to gather the gentry in the city.

These people themselves or their ancestors used to be officials in the court, and they are not so easy to fool like those merchants. This time, Zhai Zhe did not come forward. But General Pinglu's support to Huizhou Mansion made Zhang Huangyan full of confidence.

Although Zhang Huangyan led the governor of Huizhou, he did not have an edict from the imperial court, he was young, and he had no reputation before, and those officials and gentry were not very enthusiastic about him. Whether it is Zhang Guowei of Eastern Zhejiang or Huang Daozhou of Tang Wang, these people can get in touch, no matter who comes, they still want to live a good life in the past.

Zhai Zhe was awarded the title of Duke of the State and Governor of Zuodu, and these official positions were not sealed for nothing. He is sitting in this city, and everyone in Huizhou City knows it in their hearts, and if he does it again, it will be a toast without eating and drinking.

When facing these people, Zhang Huangyan is very different from in the army.

He was born in a scholar's uniform, and gave a salute to his predecessors, showing extreme humility.

"All the ancestors are deeply favored by the emperor, and now the situation in the Ming Dynasty is critical, and as a courtier, you should do your best. Now that the soldiers defending the city are short of food and grass, even the merchants know to donate a silver tael, and I beg you to open the granary at home here. ”

Most of the fields were in the hands of the squires, so most of the grain was hidden in their storehouses.
