The Liang family in Jingzhou and the Xu family are also old friends. Hearing that Xu Liang was summoned, Liang Yinxian of the Liang family rushed to Pingliang City from Jingzhou in person.

In the living room of Xu's mansion, after Liang Yinxian and Liang Ziqi, father and son, listened to Xu Liang's bold idea, Liang Lao, who has always been known for his steady and spicy, almost threw away the crutches in his hand.

The shocked eroticism stayed on the faces of the Liang family father and son for a long time.

Xu Liang looked at the Liang family father and son with a smile, patiently waiting for the reply of the two. And Feng Suqin, the eldest lady of the Xu Mansion, couldn't bear to see this scene and sighed.

Old man Liang sat there with a cloudy and uncertain face, and after a long time, he put his eyes on Xu Liang, and when he saw that Xu Liang was there, his heart was slightly certain, and he suddenly knocked his cane to the ground heavily, and asked with a serious expression: "Lord Xu, what you want to create is the Chinese Chamber of Commerce that covers the entire Ming Dynasty?" ”

Xu Liang nodded.

Old member Liang still asked to himself: "This Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is now a member of the Liang family and the Xu family?" ”

Xu Liang nodded again.

Foreign Minister Liang exhaled, his eyes closed, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was muttering something, but Xu Liang was far away, and with Xu Liang's ear power, he didn't hear what Old Man Liang was saying.

Liang Ziqi looked at the old man Liang with an inquiring eye, to be honest, for Xu Liang's bold idea, Liang Ziqi was shocked, and he had an impulse in his heart, Liang Jiaerlang, who doesn't want to create a world-class career?

It's just that when it comes to the overall situation of the Liang family, you still have to listen to Old Liang.

When Old Man Liang opened his eyes again, there was a look of determination in his eyes and he got up. Standing in the middle of the living room, he solemnly bowed to Xu Liang. Lang Sheng said: "Thanks to Lord Xu, my Liang family is willing to follow your lord." Co-creation of the Chinese Entrepreneur Association. ”

As soon as Mr. Liang's words came out, Liang Ziqi looked at Mr. Liang excitedly and shouted, "Father?!" ”

Feng Suqin looked at Old Man Liang in surprise and glanced at Xu Liang, Feng Suqin still couldn't help but remind: "Old Man Liang, if you join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, then you will have to quit the current Pingliang Chamber of Commerce." Ahem, although the layout of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is very large, for now. Ahem, it's just the two of us...... The impact of this withdrawal from the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, Old Man Liang should think carefully about it. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but glare at Feng Suqin. Listening to the meaning of Feng Suqin's words, it seems that he is still persuading Liang Yin not to rush to join the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce first.

Liang Yinxian looked at Feng Suqin with a little surprise, and arched his hand: "The old man thanks Mrs. Xu for the reminder." However, the old man had carefully considered it clearly, and the Liang family withdrew from the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce and joined the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xu Liang laughed and said to the Liang family's father and son: "Just rush to the trust of the Liang family." I made a promise to the Liang family, and the position of the vice president of the China General Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Liang family. ”

Liang Yin said in surprise first: "Old man, thank you, Lord Xu." ”

Since the Liang family agreed to join the Chinese Entrepreneur Association, it is their own people. Subsequently. Xu Liang described his institutional vision of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in detail with Feng Suqin and the Liang family, and gave a preliminary impression to several people. Of course, the specifics of the institution. It was left to Feng Suqin and the Liang family to discuss and supplement later. In order to prepare for the establishment of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Xu Liang has ordered someone to send a message to the big shopkeeper of the world. Ge Qiao. At present, Ge Qiao has rushed from Jiangnan to the northwest.

The father and son of the Liang family stayed in Xu's mansion for a whole day before they said goodbye and returned to Jingzhou City.

On the way, Liang Ziqi couldn't hide his excitement, which was intoxicated by the bright prospects of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce described by Xu Liang.

"Father, your decision is really too wise, just like that, the vice president of the General Chamber of Commerce will be there." Liang Ziqi's face turned red with excitement.

Liang Yin first looked at Liang Ziqi's expression, and sighed secretly in his heart, the only bloodline ability level of the Liang family is very outstanding, but there is still a lack of experience in dealing with things. The false name of the vice president of a general chamber of commerce can make him happy like this.

Liang Yin sighed first: "In the sub-period, the general chamber of commerce that Lord Xu said is just an idea, and even if it is completed, there are only two members, the Xu family is the president, and the Liang family is the vice president." Below the vice president, it is blank. With such a humble general chamber of commerce, I don't see anything worthy of such a please. ”

Liang Ziqi was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, it seemed that as his father said, no matter how good the General Chamber of Commerce is, it is still just an institution that stays in the imagination, and it is indeed too early for him to be so happy. After figuring out this, Liang Ziqi's face was a little ashamed. However, he immediately asked Liang Yinxian again: "Father, since you have already seen this, why do you still have to agree?" Are you so sure that the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce will develop and grow in the future? Affect the entire Ming Dynasty? ”

Old man Liang's eyes flashed, watching the trees outside the carriage continue to retreat, holding his long beard, and said, "My father doesn't know what the General Chamber of Commerce will eventually develop. But as a father, he believes that this adult is by no means an idle person, and his future achievements are limitless. My father agreed to join the General Chamber of Commerce, and it was not the General Chamber of Commerce itself that he was interested in, but Lord Xu. Following Lord Xu, the Liang family will never suffer. ”

Liang Ziqi listened, his expression moved, and he seemed to be thoughtful.

Mr. Liang admired his vision in his heart. The cooperation between the Liang family and the Xu government has begun since Xu Liang first took office as the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, and after more than two years, Xu Liang's official son has become bigger and bigger, and the Liang family's career has been booming.

Not to mention the Liang family's rice and grain business, the soap paste and well salt business cooperated with the Xu Mansion alone brought rich profits to the Liang family every month. Liang Yinxian has never doubted his vision, and this time will not be an exception.

Xu Liang stayed in Pingliang City for several days, and only when the construction of the Pingliang Honeycomb Coal Factory began did Xu Liang take people back to Hanzhong Mansion.

Back at the Hanzhong Dao Yamen, before the buttocks were hot, Song Chaodu, the prefect of Hanzhong, appeared in front of Xu Liang with a flattering smile.

"The lord has been away from the government for a few days, and the lower official's heart is like having no backbone. I have been looking forward to it day and night, and I have finally brought you back. "Song Dynasty's respectful color does not seem to be fake, and it is more respectful than before. This made Xu Liang secretly surprised.

I haven't seen you for a few days, why did the Song Governor's Mansion suddenly become so respectful of Shangguan? Xu Liang had doubts in his heart, but the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person. The etiquette of the Song Governor's Mansion was so thoughtful, Xu Liang had no choice but to deal with it with a smile.

The prefect of the Song Dynasty first represented the yamen of the Hanzhong Prefecture at all levels. I admired how the honeycomb coal made by Liang Kee Mining is easy to use, and then congratulated Liang Kee Mining on its gradual prosperity. In the end, he picked a few official affairs of Hanzhong Mansion, reported to Xu Liang, and after asking Xu Liang's opinion, he respectfully left.

At the door of the second hall of Hanzhong Road, Xu Liang pointed to the back of the Song prefect leaving, and asked Wang Qinian: "Qi Nian, this Song prefect has been so verbose today, but he confuses me, what does he want to express?" ”

Wang Qinian thought for a while. A meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand towards Xu Liang and said, "Lord, if I guess correctly, Governor Song is in a hurry to show goodwill to your lordship." ”

Xu Liang said strangely: "In the past, did this Song Dynasty dare to perfunctory officials?" ”

Wang Qiqing smiled and said: "Lord, this time is different, although the news of you leading the Liang army into Guyuan City is blocked, there are still some rumors. This time, Xia Guan returned to Hanzhong Dao, and the attitude of the Song Governor towards Xia Guan was also much better. ”

Xu Liang said secretly. And this kind of good thing? Originally, Xu Liang led the Liang army to besiege the Governor's Palace, which was to demonstrate to the Governor Yang He of the three sides, and the final effect was also very satisfactory, Governor Yang not only wrote a memo on the spot and submitted it to the court. And also ensure that from now on with Xu Liang well water does not violate the river water. And although the entire Guyuan City was surrounded by the Liang army layer by layer at that time, the details of Xu Liang's entry into the city to surround the three-sided governor's mansion still let some people know some.

Although the news released by the Governor's Palace to the outside world is that there is a civilian army attacking Guyuan City. Xu Liang led the Liang army into the city to quell the chaos. But how many people are willing to believe this kind of nonsense?

Xu Liang sneered secretly. The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is mostly this kind of role of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

Xu Liang turned around and entered the house. Wang Qinian followed in. Xu Liang asked: "Qi Nian, what I asked you to inquire about, how did you inquire?" ”

At the beginning of Xi'an Mansion, Xu Liang wanted to use the dry shares of the coal mine to collect Hu Gang, the eunuch of Shaanxi Town, but Hu Gonggong ignored it and left on the spot. This made Xu Liang feel so faceless, even if he let Wang Qinian stay in Xi'an Mansion to inquire about the news of Gonggong Hu.

When Wang Qinian heard this, he looked busy, took out the look of reporting work, and said: "Lord, if you want to say that this eunuch Hu Gonggong is indeed a person with a story. He was originally a steward eunuch in the palace, and because of his figure, and he really had some kung fu under his hands, he originally had some status in the imperial horse eunuch. It's just that when Gonggong Wei was in power, he accidentally collided with Gonggong Wei for a few words, so he was hated by Gonggong Wei and sent to Shaanxi to be a town guard eunuch. ”

Wang Qinian didn't say it below, Xu Liang could also guess that the eunuchs in various parts of the Ming Dynasty also divided the rich and the poor. Like Jianghuai and other places, it is a first-class rich land, and being a eunuch in that place for a few years is enough to earn enough money that will not be spent in several lifetimes. And the eunuchs in Shaanxi, Hebei and other places are considered poor places, and if they can make up enough tax share to be handed over to the palace every year, they will burn high incense.

Hu Gang, the eunuch guarding the town of Shaanxi, is undoubtedly a relatively unlucky person, because this place in Shaanxi, since the beginning of the apocalypse, has been plagued by natural disasters, either drought or locust plague, coupled with the outbreak of several people rebellion from time to time, so Hu Gonggong's tax share is almost not paid every year.

Hu Gong Bus was dissatisfied with the tax share, and was placed elsewhere, which was originally going to be reinforced. However, Shaanxi is different, and the eunuchs in the palace are basically reluctant to come.

For this reason, although Gonggong Hu's performance has been poor, Gonggong Hu has been able to serve as a town guard eunuch in Shaanxi for nearly ten years.

"Father-in-law Hu's hometown is from Shanxi, and there is an elder brother in the family......" Wang Qinian opened the conversation box and began to expose Father-in-law Hu's old background.

Xu Liang frowned and looked at Wang Qinian, waved his hand and said, "There are a few people in Grandpa Hu's family, so there is no need to say such a thing. You just say the result directly, which side of Gonggong Hu is from? ”

Wang Qinian listened, stunned, tilted his head at a forty-five degree angle upward, thought about it for a while, and went through the news he inquired about in Xi'an Mansion in his mind, and then, Wang Qinian gave Xu Liang a helpless look, spread his hands and said: "Lord, strictly speaking, this Gonggong Hu seems to have a good relationship with the various yamen in Xi'an City, and the adults of the three divisions of Shaanxi can talk, if you insist on saying who Gonggong Hu is, then he can only be His Majesty's person." ”

Xu Liang looked at Wang Qinian in surprise, "This is the conclusion you found out?" ”

Wang Qinian's face turned red and his expression was embarrassed, but he said firmly: "Yes." Lord. ”

Xu Liang was silent, if there is no problem with Wang Qinian's investigation, it means that this Gonggong Hu is by no means a simple person. He can have a good relationship with the three divisions of Shaanxi, but no one relies on him and is impartial, so this Duke Hu's skills in judging the situation should not be bad.

Putting aside the matter of Gonggong Hu for the time being, Xu Liang rested for a while, and then called the two persons in charge of Liangji Mining, Luo Baiguan and Cai Mao, into the yamen and asked about the production of honeycomb coal.

Compared with Cai Mao's restraint in front of Xu Liang, Luo Baiguan must have been with Xu Liang for a long time, and he can look free and talk in front of Xu Liang.

"The whole thing of Dingjun Mountain was bought, and because of the Song prefect's speech, things went extremely smoothly. All three mines have large quantities of coal in stock, which is temporarily sufficient to make honeycomb coal. The pottery factory has made more than 10,000 stoves, and all of them have been given away. And the special small iron pot, the subordinates also ordered people to prepare more than 2,000 pieces, only for those users who bought more than 10,000 pieces of honeycomb coal, they began to give away. The sales outlets of honeycomb coal in various states and counties have been set up under six ......"

Luo Baiguan finished reporting the situation of Liangji Mining to Xu Liang, Xu Liang nodded, Xu Liang was still satisfied with the progress of Liangji Mining.

"How's the money?" Xu Liang asked again.

Luo Baiguan said: "My lord, because the whole Liangji Mining is still in the stage of promoting honeycomb coal, various infrastructure needs to be built, although there have been government and business purchases of coal back, but in general, it is still in a situation where it is beyond its means. ”

Xu Liang could imagine what Luo Baiguan said about making ends meet, so he nodded and said: "It's like this in the early days of entrepreneurship. Well, the honeycomb coal plant in Pingliang City is already under construction, and the scale effect of the mining industry will gradually emerge when it is completed and put into operation. Spending some money right now is necessary. ”

"Your Excellency is right." Luo Baiguan responded, and then, Luo Baiguan remembered something, and arched his hand at Xu Liang: "It's just that there is a strange thing, a few days ago, a group of tax collectors went to the Dingjun Mountain Coal Mine and asked us Liang Ji to pay a mining tax of three thousand taels of silver. My subordinates have inquired, and a semi-suspended mine like our coal mine only needs to pay two or three hundred taels of silver per month to deal with it. This group of tax collectors asked for 3,000 taels when they opened their mouths, and their subordinates suspected that someone was targeting our Ke Liang Ji. ”

Xu Liang's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he snorted coldly, "Tax collector?" Grandpa Hu made a move so quickly? (To be continued......)
