Chapter 57: Pei Jinniang in the mouth of the world
Liao glanced at the few people sitting around, touched the scarlet pattern on his nails, and said softly: "The rapid development of Liao's firm is inseparable from today's support, but now that Beicang is eyeing the country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect it." β
The people of Beicang are fierce, with the intention of killing and killing. They do not practice courtesy, but advocate force.
ββThe cultural shock of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been greatly improved in recent years, for example, men are less feminine and more masculine, while women are less shy and more hearty.
If it was the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past, although they could not stay at home, they were also constrained by the etiquette of the boudoir, men and women sat at different tables, and the women did not show their teeth and smiled. But a few decades ago, the Beicang Kingdom went south to wage war to occupy the capital of the Great Zhou, and at the same time, the living habits they pursued were also influencing generations of Great Zhou people.
"If Beicang Country goes south, what will happen to my Liao Firm?"
Hearing her words, several people at the helm of the Liao Clan Commercial House were slightly stunned, and one of the men in a moon-white robe stood up straight.
"Is there any definite news from the shopkeeper? The North Okura Kingdom has not launched it for decades, will they easily provoke a war? β
They are all old men of the Liao family's trading house, and they know the relationship between their shopkeeper and the person in the palace, what rumors have they heard?
"Do you think the fight in East Lake that day was accidental?"
"The shopkeeper means ......"
The moon white man in the long shirt was a little puzzled by the meaning of her words, didn't he say that the water bandits did it that day? But when I hear it today, why do you think it's full of cats?
"Those people are from the Beicang Kingdom, and the assassins who took the lead have been handed over to Dali Temple. But I got a shocking news from them-this person is a subordinate of Ran Yichen, the god of war of the Beicang Kingdom. β
"This ...... Why did King Chen of Beicang Kingdom assassinate the shopkeeper? β
This time, it was not only the man in the white robe of the moon, but even the few people sitting next to him also stood up, obviously a little surprised.
"What do you think of Jizhou?"
Liao didn't answer their questions, but asked everyone, only to see that everyone looked left and right and discussed.
"Jizhou has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, and everyone wants to move Liao's firm here?" It was a man of about fifty or sixty years of age, his gray beard gently curled, and a little deep groove between his eyebrows.
"I really have this intention, you are all people who have grown the Liao family business house with me, so I naturally want to listen to your meaning."
"If there is a war, this is indeed an excellent location."
The old man frowned and said again and again, he has been in business for many years, and he has some understanding of the situation in various places. If war really breaks out in the north, then Jizhou in the south is really a good candidate.
Commerce there was already developed, and if the fresh blood of Liao's firm was injected, the south would definitely be able to flourish. Moreover, although Liao's firm has had the support of the royal family in the north over the years, it has finally entered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make a greater breakthrough.
"The roads in Jingzhou are flat and there are many official roads, but there is the Cangjiang River as an obstacle near the north, even if the Beicang Kingdom and the Great Zhou launch a war in the future, they can protect themselves."
Although they are the pawns of the royal people, who can be absolutely loyal in this troubled world? The businessmen are profitable, and they are just entangled with the royal family, and if they fall into trouble at that time, they will fly separately when the disaster comes.
"Even so, you still need a feasible plan, otherwise it is easy to shake the fundamentals." The middle-aged Confucian scholar who was white asked again, and as soon as he said this, the extremely moving voice of Liao Everyone's voice sounded again: "You are right, so we need a more detailed plan of action, and this plan I am ready to entrust to you." β
The person in front of her is the new steward of Liao's firm, and it can also be said that she is the steward who came with her.
- The reason why she chose him in the first place was not only because of his talent, but also because of his bold and careful character.
For business, boldness is not superior, and prudence is also lacking in enterprising, only this bold and careful person is the most suitable. And he has indeed lived up to her expectations over the years, and has done his part in an orderly manner, so that people don't have any place to put their beaks.
"No."
The Confucian scholar in the white robe of the moon was stunned for a moment, and then showed surprise. He has been promoted fast enough in Liao's firm in the past few years, and he originally thought that there should not be too many opportunities in the past two years, but he didn't expect that the big pie would fall on him.
The affairs of the Liao family business house were naturally done in secret, and after a few days, Gu Jinshu stood at the gate of Pei Guogong's mansion, looking at the gilded characters, and took a deep breath with the big lion who was showing off his might.
"Miss Gu, please."
The little maid next to her smiled and wanted to introduce her, and she responded politely with a smile, the slightly raised corners of her lips were always dazzling, which made the little maid who led the way even more enthusiastic.
Gu Jinshu first went to the Duchess of Guo to ask for peace, and then transferred to Pei Yuniang, and as soon as she left, the grandmother beside the Duchess Pei frowned: "Madam, the girl seems to treat this Gu girl very well." β
Although the girl in their family looks kind, she is the most arrogant lord, and few people can enter her heart, but this Gu girl seems to be an exception, and she has entered the girl's heart in a very short time.
"Ye Wanyu's daughter has her own unique place."
Duchess Pei Guo waved her hand and didn't want to talk more, but rubbed her sideburns: "News from Lizhou, Jin Niang is afraid that she is coming back." β
"Big girl...... Is the big girl coming back? β
The mother-in-law was slightly stunned, and her eyes flashed with joy, for this girl who grew up by herself, they all like it. Although it is said that the girls in the mansion are not bad, especially the youngest jade lady, compared to the eldest girl with infinite beauty, she has finally fallen into success.
The eldest girl, whether it is her appearance or talent, or her ability to behave in the world, is all good, but unfortunately it was ruined in the end by the word 'love'.
She still remembers the sad appearance of the prince's wedding day, when she cried bloody tears.
"The car has reached the waters of Suzhou, and it will be back in some time."
She could even guess why she was coming back, and even expected a big change to come, but none of that could affect her desire for her daughter's return.
- How many years has she not seen her daughter? Whenever in the dead of night, her countless late-night tears wet the pillow, and there were faint white threads between her buns.
She has many children, but she feels guilty about this child after all.
