The current Lingzhou is like a bottomless well, and inside it is a pool of deep water. The truth about the matter is buried in this elusive "water".

Since Zhu Changjin has already thought about coming as a rich man, he has already made a plan.

Lingzhou is a rich place, famous for its abundance of ores, and the rich merchants of Lingzhou are also famous all over the world.

If you want to understand the things in Lingzhou, you must have dealings with these rich businessmen.

Therefore, Zhu Changjin positioned himself as a wealthy mining businessman, to put it bluntly - a coal boss.

On the second day of coming to Lingzhou, Zhu Changjin had a plan in his heart, so he took Yu Shu and Yan Feng out.

In order to better penetrate the enemy, Lin Zhuozhuo also specially pulled him to make a shape, and made a fake beard, looking like a mature and stable boss.

He was like this, Xiao Yan almost didn't recognize him, and pulled him suspiciously to look around several times before he couldn't help but smile and walked away.

Lin Zhuozhuo was even more happy.

I'm afraid that if I continue to laugh, someone will have a black face, and I can only hold back my smile in my stomach.

Lingzhou Coal Boss, and Kyoto Zhan Wangye, is really a bit worse, she has to digest and digest this setting, and then she was stunned, and thought, he is a coal boss, so isn't he the wife of the coal boss?

O iniquity!

The jump of the character design in an instant is not so funny.

……

On the carriage, Zhu Changjin instructed again: "Remember, don't forget to call yourself, you also have to pay attention to your title." ”

Yu Shu nodded, "Okay, master." Subordinates and Steward Yan must keep in mind. ”

Hearing Yu Shu call himself so, Yan Feng couldn't help but jump to his feet.

"You're smart, Coachman!"

Seeing that the two of them stared at each other incompatibly, Zhu Changjin coughed to show threat.

Don't go to the battlefield yet, your own people will pinch it first.

In Lingzhou City, there is a teahouse, it is not an ordinary teahouse business, this teahouse is called "Yipinxuan", the owner of the teahouse is a famous tea merchant, named Zhang Xiaoran.

This person is the most sleek and sophisticated, and it can be seen in Lingzhou City, which is famous for its mineral resources, that it can make the teahouse the first in Lingzhou.

Zhu Changjin heard a little news, so he took Yu Shu and Yan Feng straight to Yipinxuan.

After arriving, the three of them went in and saw that Yipinxuan really had a cave.

There are six floors up and down in the teahouse, the decoration is elegant and does not lose the style of the rich people, there is no seat on the first floor, only a "small mountain and flowing water" is placed in the middle of the hall.

There are also a few small pine perch in the small pond repaired, and the small incense burner with fine carving hangs on it, curling smoke and exuding bursts of fragrance.

The sharp-eyed teahouse ran to see the three of them and hurriedly greeted them.

Zhu Changjin looked at it, looked commonplace, and asked quite an expert, "Is there still a bamboo character today?" ”

The bamboo character room is the highest level in Yipinxuan, there are only four rooms, and generally only when the rich want to meet Zhang Xiaoran, the owner of the teahouse, will book such a room.

The teahouse ran to see that Zhu Changjin looked rich and noble, and he knew the doorway of the teahouse, so he became cautious, "Yes, guest officer, you came early today, and no one has booked this bamboo word yet." ”

Zhu Chang replied indifferently, threw a silver ingot of five taels to the teahouse runner, and then said lightly.

"Lead the way."

The people who ran the teahouse hurriedly took the money and led them upstairs.

In the bamboo room, Zhu Changjin was thinking about how to let Zhang Xiaoran set up a line for himself, this Zhang Xiaoran's Yipinxuan is mainly to provide a place for the rich to talk about business, since Zhang Xiaoran can open it, he naturally has to meet the source left and right between the rich and the rich, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves.

After a while, a middle-aged man came in with a smile, "Distinguished guest, distinguished guest, I have been waiting for a long time, and please bear with Zhang." "The person who came was Zhang Xiaoran.

Zhu Chang smiled and took it, "Boss Zhang is polite." ”

"In Xia Changjin, when I first came to your place, I asked Boss Zhang to take care of it."

When Zhang Xiaoran heard this, he was naturally happy to be entertained. The two exchanged a few words, and Zhu Changjin went straight to the point.

"I'm new to the business today, please ask Brother Zhang to mention a little more in the business field, if Brother Zhang is willing to bring it, there will be a lot of thanks in the future." After Zhu Changjin finished speaking, he gave Yan Feng a look, and Yan Feng hurriedly sent the gift box he took when he went out.

It was an extremely rare chicken blood jade Ruyi, Zhu Changjin slowly pushed the box in front of Zhang Xiaoran, Zhang Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"If Brother Chang is free tomorrow, you might as well come to Yipinxuan to find me, tomorrow, the giant of Lingzhou, Boss Jiang will set up a banquet in Yipinxuan, at that time, Lingzhou's people with heads and faces will appreciate the light, I am introduced to Brother Chang at this time, isn't it beautiful?"

Zhu Chang pretended to be surprised, hurriedly stood up, and raised his hand to salute, "Thank you Brother Zhang for your support." ”

The next day.

Zhu Changjin also went out early to find Zhang Xiaoran, while Lin Zhuozhuo went to the market with the little emperor Ji Zhu Youling to find out the news.

Yipinxuan's style today is much more exquisite than yesterday, and he hung up the sign of thanking the guest early, Zhang Xiaoran saw Zhu Chang coming, and directly took him to the villa behind Yipinxuan.

At this time, several wealthy businessmen came one after another, chatting in the garden.

Zhang Xiaoran didn't let Zhu Changjin stay too long, and went directly into the house.

In the house, the richest man in Lingzhou, Jiang Rui was leisurely drinking tea, and after Zhu Changjin met him, he sent a brocade box, which was a Hetian white jade and jade Buddha, which was in excellent condition.

Even Jiang Rui, who was rich and wealthy, couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"This friend hasn't seen it before, I think it's—"

Jiang Rui asked with a smile.

Zhu Changjin personally bowed to him with great interest, "In Xia Changjin, there are some small mining businesses at home, and when I came to Lingzhou at the beginning of this year, I also asked Brother Jiang to take care of me." ”

Jiang Rui smiled and patted Zhu Changjin's shoulder, praised a few words, and already looked like a big brother.

The business banquet begins.

In the midst of the uproar, the governor of Lingzhou actually came.

Seeing this, a hint of clarity flashed in Zhu Chang's eyes.

No wonder Jiang Rui is only a rich man, so he dares to use those public things privately.

Affection, this governor is his backer...... Then he is not a hero in this Lingzhou.

The governor leaned over and whispered a few words to Jiang Rui, Jiang Rui's face fell, but he still pretended to be indifferent.

"Brother Jiang!" The corners of Zhu Changjin's mouth hooked up a smile, called him, and got up to toast.

"The younger brother heard that Brother Jiang has opened a chamber of commerce with a few friends in the past two days, and the joint operation is profitable. The younger brother really admires Brother Jiang's determination. ”

Jiang Rui's face was indistinguishable, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard the meaning of his words.

The governor just reminded himself not to be careless.

They discovered a new nameless mine in Lingzhou, which occupies a huge area and has a lot of oil and water.

The governor protected him, and did not report the mines to the court, and they made a so-called chamber of commerce, which was just a division of labor among several people.

In this way, it can not only hide people's eyes, but also do not need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and also save the documents of stamping up the upper layer to open the mine, so that the money for trusting the relationship can be saved.

"Brother Chang is really well-informed, but I have been worrying recently, the oil and water in this mining industry are getting less and less, and the profits of the workers are rising higher and higher, and I am still thinking that it is time to change careers."

Although Jiang Rui said with a smile, his eyes examined Zhu Changjin's movements.

"Brother Jiang, in our line of work, the most oily and water-hungry people are nothing more than the court and workers, above the court, the younger brother is naturally powerless, but above the workers, the younger brother can give Brother Jiang an idea."

Zhu Changjin followed the meaning of his words, knowing that he should be tempting, and improvised how those coal bosses evaded taxes and oppressed workers in some of the cases he had handled.

Jiang Rui was stunned for a moment, pretending to be surprised, and let Zhu Changjin continue.

"With black slaves." Zhu Changjin smiled slightly.

"Some of those people have black slaves who have not been signed and stamped by the government, but they are not very bright-minded, and they have enough physical work to do such physical work."

He paused for a moment and said slowly, "I just need to give them some food every day...... As for life and death, anyway, there are those who do not have household registration status, so we don't have to worry, in this way, will the workers' profits be saved? ”

A few years ago, someone poked out about the black miners, and the first emperor banned it after learning about it.

After Zhu Xuyuan came to power, he silently let these methods go, so not many people really wrote down this order.

Jiang Rui, who was still full of suspicion, let down his guard a little when he heard him say this.

It turns out that this newcomer is just like them, the world is as black as a crow! Thinking about it, these people gradually became closer to Zhu Changjin's words.

……

Lin Zhuozhuo's side, she and Zhu Youling chose to go to a small place in the market.

After all, sometimes you can hear big news in a small market.

Originally, I was still happily shopping together, chatting with the people on the street, and then throwing out a question, a lot of uncles and aunts rushed to answer, which was also very hidden. Inquire about the news in obscurity.

But just as Lin Zhuozhuo shook his spirit, and he didn't pay attention, Zhu Youling took her to the tower.

Lin Zhuozhuo was pressed by her to sit down, with a little panic on his face, "This, this, it's not appropriate, it's dark?" ”

Zhu Youling glanced at her strangely, "What's inappropriate, it's because it's dark, I want to come to the building to have fun, sister-in-law isn't afraid that my brother will be angry?" ”

After speaking, those innocent beautiful eyes still looked at Lin Zhuozhuo with a wink.

Lin Zhuozhuo immediately shook his head and said firmly: "It's not because of your brother!" Isn't it just fun? Walking! ”

The first time he entered this kind of place, Lin Zhuozhuo thought it would be the kind of building like a "White Horse Club".

Who would have thought that the towers here don't have so much wind and dust.

The little minister in the building did not solicit customers with flamboyance and trembling, but softly blessed himself and asked for gifts, no matter what he did, it was in order, which made Lin Zhuozhuo feel that his thinking was dirty.

The two drank to each other, and the little man on the side played an unknown tune, and the song was clear and flowing, which was very soothing.

"Today's moon is like a silver plate, and in the starry sky, you can only see this big bare moon, which is so boring."

The corners of Zhu Youling's mouth were smiling, and he glanced at the beautiful little sister-in-law beside him, leaning on the chair as if unintentionally, supporting his head, and sighing at the scenery outside the window.

Lin Zhuozhuo also looked out the window, yes, the moon is really like a silver plate.

Well? Silver platter? Moon?

Woe to it!

Lin Zhuozhuo got up suddenly, and before he could explain, he pulled his legs and dragged the young spirits back to the house with a stunned face.
