"Young Master, is this gold still in storage?" The big shopkeeper in the silk shirt asked respectfully.

"Since you took it out, don't put it in storage." Sun Zhang was pruning the potted plant with scissors hanging his head, and he asked people to put down the teacup just now while pruning.

"And what is going to happen to the account of this money?" The big shopkeeper felt weak in his heart, and these gold bars were not a small amount.

"Let's just say I spent it." Sun Zhang put down the scissors in his hand, and he cut some peonies to prepare to insert them into the bottle for purification.

The big shopkeeper didn't say anything, but his face was full of entanglement, how could he say that the direction of so much money was spent!

"Then how do you explain there?"

"How?" Sun Zhang's face was full of smiles, but his tone was unquestionable: "Why do I need him to ask me about spending my own money?" ”

The big shopkeeper replied embarrassedly, and he asked again: "At the beginning of the month, the capital was expressed, and the only son of Sun Shangshu's family died for some reason, this money..."

The celadon amphora was held in Sun Zhang's hand to play with, and he glanced at the five fingers erected by the big shopkeeper: "Fifty thousand taels is too heavy, and their family can't afford to eat it." ”

The big shopkeeper raised three fingers again: "Young master, this number?" ”

"Don't give the money." Sun Zhang's pruned flower branches were carefully inserted into the bottle according to the sparseness: "Just pick up some valuable and rare things and bring them over." ”

The big shopkeeper was very surprised, not to mention the New Year's holidays, he used to send silver to the Sun family in the capital, but it was like flowing water, why did it suddenly decrease now?

"Ascend to Mien, fight Mi Qiu." Sun Zhang said: "In the past, when he was poor, he gave money to help him send charcoal in the snow, but now it is different, Sun Qiumin first served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and then served as a cabinet member, and with his light, our Sun family is also the same for a while, but..."

Sun Zhang's words changed: "The direction of the wind is about to change, the flower bones that are out of the head will be pinched, and the fattened pigs will be slaughtered." ”

The big shopkeeper was confused, Sun Qiumin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was indeed their Yangqu person, but he was born poor and poor and was a good scholar, so the lord paid for Sun Qiumin to participate in the imperial examination, but he didn't expect that in the end, this person actually sat in the cabinet with good luck.

Over the years, Sun Qiumin has made a great effort for the Sun family to gain a foothold in Yangqu and even the entire Taiyuan Mansion, and the eldest young master's words are really unreasonable.

Isn't there another saying among their small people: The grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring.

Why is it going to change now?

Sun Zhang cut a peony and inserted it next to the hat of the big shopkeeper, and he said in a low voice: "Recently, many people from Dongchang have come to Yangqu County, do you say that this wind should change?" ”

"This!" The big shopkeeper's eyes widened instantly, and after two breaths, he came back to his senses: "The people from Dongchang are here?" ”

Sun Zhang nodded slowly.

Who is most afraid of the people in Dongchang, that is, those who are officials and those who have a relationship with the officials, once they are targeted by those wolf-like fans, no one can get out innocently.

Therefore, as soon as there is a stir, these businessmen who have trusted their connections are afraid to die.

It is true that the people from Dongchang came to Yangqu for something, but it was the Zhang family who was looking for trouble, not the Sun family.

…

Fila sat in the lobby of the inn where Yang Yiqing and the others stayed, and behind him stood a row of Dongchang fans in civilian clothes, and the gloomy and ruthless guests in the inn returned to their rooms one after another, for fear of provoking this group of evil spirits.

"Why is this place so quiet?" He Qiao yawned and opened the way in front, and as soon as he stepped into the inn with his front foot, he suddenly retreated with his back foot, and directly knocked Jiang Banxia, who was closely behind, into a stumbling one.

Jiang Banxia frowned and said, "Walk well." ”

"No... No. He Qiao leaned on his hands and danced for a long time, but he didn't hold back half a word.

Jiang Banxia led the way to the inn on one side, and she caught a glimpse of File sitting there with great momentum and the Dongchang fans behind him.

"Fei Qianhu." Jiang Banxia bowed his hand and greeted.

Fei Le glanced at Jiang Banxia, and then looked behind her, only to see Yang Yiqing and He Qiaoyi.

The two brothers Zhu Hu and Zhu Tan of Nanzhen Fusi were not with them.

When he saw the group of people in File, Yang Yiqing was obviously stunned for a moment, although he was not familiar with these people, he had seen Fila, this person seemed to be the subordinate of the Admiral of Dongchang.

"Lord Yang." Phila got up and arched his hand: "Long Yang." ”

Yang Yiqing returned the salute, he was slightly puzzled, why did the people from Dongchang come too?

Fila is also a delicate person, and after greeting Yang Yiqing for a while, he called Jiang Banxia out alone for an excuse.

"Why did Fei Qianhu call me out alone." Jiang Banxia had a just right smile on his face, but he never reached the bottom of his eyes when he looked closely.

"Of course it's okay to see you." Fei Le was not in a hurry to say what was going on, he only asked, "Did those two surnamed Zhu say anything along the way?" ”

Jiang Banxia shook his head, thinking about it carefully, the two Shangguan surnamed Zhu were silent all the way, and the topic that he talked to them the most was only related to the skills of the flower thief.

He was not annoyed when he didn't hear the news he wanted, and he asked again: "You have stopped in Yangqu for a while, have you ever heard about the Zhang family in Yangqu?" ”

Jiang Banxia confirmed: "Is it the Zhang family, one of the five surnames of Taiyuan Mansion?" ”

"Exactly." Fila tapped the table: "Have you heard anything related to the Zhang family?" ”

"How?" Jiang Banxia chuckled: "Dongchang doesn't care about the officials and starts to manage the businessmen?" ”

Being so teased by Jiang Banxia, Fei Le not only didn't get angry, but he had the heart to explain: "This matter is very important, otherwise the overseer would not have sent me to come to Yangqu urgently." ”

"What's going on in Kyoto?" Jiang Banxia twisted his eyebrows and asked, according to Cao Yu's character, he would never be in such a hurry, and now that he hastily sent Fei Qianhu here, something big must have happened in Kyoto.

"There are no major events at the moment, but this stubble is not well handled." Fila paused: "It's a big deal." ”

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Jiang Banxia asked in a low voice, "Could it be that this is going to collapse?" ”

"Poof." Fila squirted out a sip of tea, and his eyes glared: "Do you dare to say anything?" ”

"What's the big deal with that?"

Fila also did not sell Guanzi, he said: "Last month, Zheng Yanggu, the governor of Zhejiang, came to fold, and the heavy rain in the south was afraid that there was a danger of flooding, and they asked for money to repair the embankment, but the Ministry of Money did not allocate it. ”

"Why?" Jiang Banxia frowned, there was no reason why the household department should not dial.

Fila said meaningfully: "Because only last year, the Ministry of Household allocated two million taels of silver for reinforcing the embankment..."

Jiang Banxia fell into deep thought, two million taels of silver, but a huge amount! It's enough to block the embankment with silver, so it won't be repaired for less than a year and have to be rebuilt, right?

This account is either greedy by the household or greedy by the people in the Ministry of Industry.

"Now it's time to burn your eyebrows, and when the Dragon Boat Festival flood arrives later, it's no joke that the embankment will destroy the fields and flood." Fei Le said: "It's too late to check those silverfish now, and now the governor means to let the household department allocate the money before making plans." ”

"Shouldn't the household department go to the household department to allocate money?" Jiang Banxia's brain couldn't turn for a while.

"If the household department can transfer the silver, the overseer will not let me come to Yangqu." Fila Road.

Jiang Banxia pondered: "Do you want to copy a few rich merchants and use their silver to make up for the deficit in repairing the embankment in the south?" ”
