When Guan Ruoxi was young, his parents died of illness, and he was raised by his uncle Guan Haishan, who was born a beautiful embryo, and married the third son of Wei Zhiyuanwei of the Wei clan in Lanzhou, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province as his wife.

Wei San Gongzi was born in the side room, and because of his stubborn and debauched personality, he was not tolerated by the family, and was forced to split up and be assigned to a few acres of thin fields in Lan County.

Although Guan Ruozhi was forced to support this small family, she had her natural business acumen, and Lan County was rich in mineral deposits, she made a small fuss to make a living, and slowly developed into a mineral merchant in Lan County.

It is not easy for a woman to show up to survive, and she is tossed by a loser's husband, and in the face of many competitors with sufficient funds, she can still support herself in the cruel business war, and her ability to make money is quite powerful.

One day, Wei Sangongzi got drunk in the Qinglou, fell into the stinky ditch and drowned, Guan Ruozhi was even more infamous such as Kefu, and her stubborn personality did not fall because of this, but made the small mining business prosperous, and the income was more and more, so that the people of the Wei family were red-eyed, and in order to occupy the mine as an own, the Wei family resorted to various means to force Guan Ruozhi away and occupy the mine.

Guan Ruozhi was forced to flee back to her parents' house, but the Wei family did not let her go because of this, and sent someone to Jingshi to ask for people, although the Guan family is a Jingshi family, but it is N years ago, because of poor management, all kinds of losers, it has long been in decline, how dare you offend the wealthy Wei family, plus the daughter who married out, splashed out of the water, not to mention that Guan Ruozhi is just a niece, Guan Haishan will not say a good word for her, moreover, when Guan Ruozhi escaped back, he brought a lot of money, which made him greedy, and directly drugged Guan Ruozhi and the maid Xiang'er, The housekeeper Guan Youcai was sent to escort the master and servant to Shanxi and handed them over to the people of the Wei family.

When Zhu Jian heard the word Shanxi, his face instantly turned dark, but Guan Ruozhi didn't notice the change in his face, and continued to complain.

Zhu Jianjian is through the crowd, no one knows more about the Ming Dynasty than him, the word Jin Shang is particularly sensitive to him, how to evaluate the Jin Shang at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this has to be said.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Taigu County in Taiyuan Prefecture gathered wealthy businessmen and giants to become the financial and commercial center of northern China, and had the reputation of "dry dock, small Beijing", and had a vicious vision, old and calculating, and knew how to invest a lot of money in poor scholars to fund them to go to school and take the imperial examination.

One hundred scholars may not be able to win, but a thousand can always be in the exam, not to mention that the Jin merchants have a vicious vision, and the objects of investment are basically talented people who learn to overlord, which not only reduces costs but also results quickly, those talented scholars are admitted, and Jin merchants pave the way for them with a large amount of silver, first as officials, and then all the way up to become important members of the Ming Court, and those officials who have received the favor of Jin merchants must of course repay others, you come and go and become a family, offending Jin merchants, it is equivalent to offending the civil official group.

This kind of net-type investment requires a lot of money, patience and time, but these Jin merchants have done it, and most of the entire Ming civil officials are close to the Jin merchants like a family.

If you look at these problems from other angles, it is much more complicated, in order to make a lot of money, Jin merchants disregard the law, desperately sell a large number of iron ore, grain and other important military materials to the Jin army, and some simply become the leading party, help the Jin army collect all kinds of intelligence of the Ming army, etc., in their eyes only money, how much is the value of patriotic gods?

Of course, it's not entirely to blame those Jin merchants who only have money in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty itself has many reasons, but Zhu Jian is unhappy with the Jin merchants, otherwise he would not have handpicked Lei Zhentian to sit in Liaodong, and gave him a secret blacklist, but the Jin Shang group headed by the Fan family can be on the blacklist, who made Fan Wencheng this guy too famous, and the secret order he gave Lei Zhentian is that no matter what the intention of this guy is, even if he is here to surrender, don't say a word of nonsense, just shoot him with one shot.

Although the Wei family is a famous family in Lanzhou, but Shanxi is as rich as a dog, compared with the Fan family and other big families, it is simply a small pot friend, although Guan Ruo's eyelashes are beautiful and moving, people can't help but breed evil thoughts, but Zhu Jian has a prejudice against Jin Shang, which naturally reduces his enthusiasm for her.

"What are Madame's plans?" Zhu Jian asked, he has always pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade, Guan Ruo's master and servant are in such a miserable situation, and he has moved his heart of concealment, this person, sometimes it is so contradictory.

Guan Ruozhi shook her head, her phoenix eyes were red, and her face showed a sad look, she was penniless now, what else could she plan, making a living was a problem, and her former mother's family had become a stranger to her, or it would be more accurate to say that she was an enemy.

"I can help you get that money back." Zhu Jian thought for a while before saying, he can help Guan Ruoxi get back the part of the silver that was embezzled by Guan Haishan, but he is a little entangled in whether to charge some handling fees?

Jinyiwei's secret spy had already inquired about the details of the Guan family, and the current Guan family had completely declined, and he couldn't squeeze out much silver, so Guan Haishan, the uncle, would do such a heart-wrenching thing as embezzling his niece's property.

"Let's just think of it as the child-rearing fee that I have paid for all these years of closing the family, thank you son."

Guan Ruozhi lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head, although her expression was sad and confused, the look in her eyes was very resolute and firm, from now on, she broke off with Guan Jiaen, and she had no relationship.

She suddenly thought of something, turned her back, unbuckled her belt, cut the slit with scissors, took out a small roll of paper from it, and showed a resolute look on her face, "The slave is now penniless, and there is no way to repay the great kindness of the son, this is the mine deed, if the son is ...... If you are not interested, you will donate to the court. ”

Since the Wei family wants to put her to death, she doesn't have any feelings, although the Wei family occupies the mine, but without this mining deed, they can only occupy it for a while, and it can be withdrawn by the person who holds the mining deed at any time, provided that the strength of the holder is stronger than the Wei family.

The reason why she gave it to Zhu Jian was not because she wanted to trap him, she wanted to repay her kindness, but she was penniless, so she promised him? She is a broken flower and a willow, what qualifications does she have? From Zhu Jian's speech and demeanor and the family members around him, it can be confirmed that he must be the son of a big family, and he should have a certain background.

Women are ruthless, sometimes it's really scary, Guan Ruozhi is now a very single, occupying the old lady's property, and the old lady will donate it to the court, so that your Wei family will work in vain, hum.

This woman...... It's not easy to mess with.

Zhu Jian praised her and secretly took a breath of cold air, women are ruthless, it's really scary, don't offend women, if you are really ruthless, when you fall asleep, I will give you scissors, tsk, think about chrysanthemums are cold.

His eyes lit up when he landed on the deed.
