The Hancheng Zhou family is a family with profound heritage.

The Zhou family is known for running cold silk and has been in business for several generations.

The cold silk is the silk fabric with the characteristics of the cold city.

In the process of operating cold silk, the Zhou family continued to develop and improve, and finally jumped from a little-known civilian household to a famous family in Hancheng.

The cold city is famous, but it is a small city in the south of the Yangtze River with a suitable climate. Originally, it was not famous, but because of the Zhou family, it became a famous silk town.

The silk of the Zhou family is very famous, and Qin Xiang has not only heard of it, but also used Zhou's silk to make dresses.

But such a famous family wants to deal with her little woman?

Qin Xiang sneered and called Chen Wuliu to come.

"The Zhou family?" Chen Wuliu looked at a loss, he used to be the commander of the forbidden army, and he didn't know much about some things in private business. "I'll send someone to inquire."

Chen Wuliu intended to curry favor with the main family and sent someone to investigate, but he found out the bottom of the Zhou family in half a day.

"Does the owner think there is something wrong with the Zhou family?" Xiaoyu craned her neck to look at the paper, there were too many words on it, and she recognized few of them. At this time, she regretted it a little, and she really still had to listen to the owner, and this literacy thing can't be sloppy.

"It's not just a problem, it's a big problem." Qin Xiang threw a thick stack of paper on the table, his pretty face tightened, "The foundation of the Zhou family is in the cold city, and it also occupies nearly half of the silk industry in the western extension. Most of the silk used in the cloth shops and ready-to-wear shops came from the Zhou family. After a year, how much income do you say Zhou's can have. ”

Xiaoyu pinched her fingers and calculated, and couldn't help but gasp, "Obediently, the Zhou family has a golden mountain." ”

Qin Xiang snorted coldly and took a sip of tea, "Why did each family buy silk from the Zhou family?" Because apart from the Zhou family, there was no silk to buy. Other silk makers are mostly small households, only individual customers. Looking at it this way, the problem of the Zhou family is even greater. ”

How could the Zhou family be able to control the silk market in Xiyan by himself. In addition to the interests involved, there are also some dirty methods that are not known to the public.

Half a day's work, there are only a few things that can be found, and literally, there are a few emerging families that can barely fight with the Zhou family in the past few years. But this gong and drum started, and the so-called emerging family didn't even dare to come to power, so it ended.

Her fingers tapped on the three words 'Bai Siluo' on a line on the paper, and her eyebrows were slightly raised.

The white silk Luo is the silk Luo developed by the Chen family, why after three months, the moon Luo and the white silk Luo launched by the Zhou family will be so similar. Why is the white silk Luo launched by the Chen family lacking interest, and why is the Chen family's silk weaving workshop named Zhou's name.

In addition to White Silo, there are several other similar suspicions.

Qin Xiang thought of one or two things that the official said, and now he understood why the Zhou family would come to deal with her, a lonely and poor little woman. All because her jacquard machine was exposed under Zhou's nose, the other party deliberately wanted to snatch the jacquard technology away.

recalled that the person in charge of the weaving factory said that someone had come to the door to ask him to steal the drawings of the jacquard machine, and that the jacquard machine and the loom had accidents one after another, and Qin Xiang had something to understand.

The Zhou family wanted to dominate the family, so they did not allow other families to develop the silk industry. As long as the technology they have in their hands, the Zhou family will definitely use all means to snatch it.

For example, the white silk Luo of the Chen family has become the moonlight Luo of the Zhou family.

And her Qin Xiang's jacquard machine may be in the hands of the Zhou family, and she doesn't know what name it will be changed to.

I didn't expect the Zhou family business to be so stingy. If you don't talk about cooperation, you can directly let people steal. If she can't steal, she will cut off her wealth.

"What does the owner mean is that the Zhou family did the work of the weaving factory this time?"

"They want the technology of the jacquard machine, but they are not willing to cooperate, and the means of the empty glove white wolf are good. It's a pity that the means are not clever enough. Qin Xiang sneered, with a cold look on his face, "Since his Zhou family dares to do something to my weaving factory, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Xiaoyu's blood boiled when she heard this, and her face was eager to try, "Boss, are we going to bring down the Zhou family?" ”

Seeing the excited expression on this little girl's face, Qin Xiang had no doubt that if she was willing to nod, Xiaoyu would be able to pick up the hoe immediately, and regardless of going over the mountains and mountains, she rushed directly to the cold city to dig the ancestral grave of the Zhou family.

Xiaoyu grew up in the market, don't look petite and cute, but it's not fake to be spicy. During this period of time, he followed Chen Wuliu and them to practice martial arts, and his personality became more and more fierce.

Qin Xiang was really a little worried, if one day Xiaoyu dragged a handsome little husband back and said that he had robbed her husband, Qin Xiang would not be surprised.

"One step at a time."

Zhou's action against her weaving factory is not good.

Qin Xiang is not a soft persimmon, he wants to be taken casually.

She is no longer a rural village woman who only has a chicken shop and depends on people's faces. There is Qin Ji Commercial Bank behind her, and she also has the position of county lord who has no real power.

These are all her confidence, but if you want to deal with the Zhou family, you still have to think long-term. The Zhou family has been able to stand for so long, not all of them are crooked, and the capital accumulated by the ancestors so far should not be underestimated.

It's just that the other party wants to disrupt the silk market, and he is not allowed to bloom, but only allows him to stand alone, which completely provokes Qin Xiang's dissatisfaction.

She chose the jacquard machine to drive the entire industry and promote the rapid development of the silk industry. And now there is a Zhou family, who wants to take all the technology for themselves and not allow others to develop, which is really hateful.

Qin Xiang looked out the window and sneered lightly.

It's cold, so let the Zhou family change their surname.

Xiaoyu shuddered, she touched her arm, a little puzzled.

……

Qin Xiang's daily schedule is very full, and the matter of dealing with the Zhou family is also progressing steadily.

Now that she has a network, it's much easier to recruit talent than it used to be.

The craftsmen found by the old silversmith arrived in Fucheng one after another, and the jewelry chain on the water side was gradually forming.

And on the side of the weaving factory, she has sent someone to keep an eye on it. The kid who had wrecked the loom in private was also caught by her.

Qin Xiang didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's suffering, and reported it directly to the government. Who is right and who is right is determined by its own law.

In the middle of the city, a small and inconspicuous teahouse.

There is only one small teahouse, but it is quite spacious, it is facing the street, but there is no second floor.

At the place of the examination door and window, there is a square table, with a few crude snacks and a pot of tea.

"This is Fucheng?" The woman sneered, picked up a piece of snack in disgust, and threw it back on the plate. "Entertain people with such things that pigs and dogs don't eat?"

The older man next to her glared at her and whispered, "In someone else's territory, talk less." ”

Zhou Pan pursed his lips, snorted lightly, and stopped talking. It's just a face full of dissatisfaction, but it doesn't hide it at all.

Zhou Che shook his head helplessly and sighed, there was really nothing he could do about the third sister in the family. Who makes the third sister favored, and even his brothers can treat this little girl.

"Let Brother Li smile."

Brother Li is a bearded young man, with an ordinary appearance, only a pair of deep pupils flashing with the light of wisdom.

"The third lady has a straightforward temperament, but she is cute and tight." Li Nan skipped the conversation and mentioned the weaving factory. "Qin Ji's weaving factory is strictly guarded, and it is really difficult to install people."

"Poof-" Zhou Pan laughed and shook his head disdainfully: "That's because you don't have enough ability." In this world, as long as the silver is enough, there is nothing that cannot be done. ”

Li Nan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he only smiled.

Zhou Che also felt that Li Nan's words were a bit of a shirk, who would worry about burning their hands with too much money.

"The two of them came to Fucheng for the first time, and they took the two of them to visit as landlords."

Zhou Che knew that the other party was not easy to say, so he nodded and dragged his sister up.

Although Zhou Pan was not happy, he could only follow sullenly.

The Fucheng area is not large, but it is well planned and divided into inner and outer cities. There are also wide and befriended walls, and a murmuring moat.

In terms of scale, it is not as good as the cold city, but the construction is also amazing.

"There used to be a rich man in Fucheng, and he was a great and good man. When the earth dragon turned over and the people were displaced, he and other people of insight funded the construction of today's capital city. The stone tablet given by the imperial court is at the gate of the city, engraved with the exploits of these people. Now, after several generations of construction, it has the appearance of Fucheng today. ”

A rich man who can finance the construction of a city is not an ordinary rich man.

Even compared with today's major imperial merchants, there are even better.

However, after the rich man built the city, he moved away with his family. Later, the descendants did not go to the business, but went to the imperial examination, but this is a later story.

"It's a commercial street, there are all kinds of food shops, so it's not wrong to come here if you want to buy anything."

Zhou Pan suddenly smelled an indescribable aroma, she snorted, blinked her eyes and looked at Li Nan.

Li Nan chuckled and pointed to a shop not far away with a funny plaque, "This is eating chicken, doing fried chicken business, the price is low, and the taste is good." ”

Zhou Pan looked at the strange-looking wood-carved chicken at the door, and pursed the corners of his lips, "Only inferior people eat it." ”

Li Nan didn't look at her, but said: "There is a chicken shop in Xijing, and there is also one in the capital, which is very popular." It is said that even His Majesty had people buy it and praised the taste of chicken. ”

Zhou Pan's face froze, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Even the emperor had praised the deliciousness, and she didn't dare to say anything inferior to her boldness.

"This is Zhao's ready-to-wear shop, as well as Lin's grain store......"

With Li Nan's introduction, the brother and sister had a rough understanding of Fucheng.

"These shops are all related to Qin Ji?" Zhou Che asked.

"It's all funded by Qin Ji." Li Nan took them to an observation deck in the city, "The large area in the suburbs belongs to Qin Ji. Zhao's clothes and the cooking oil sold by Lin's are all from here. ”

Zhou Pan looked at such a large piece of land, and there were many houses. Even if you can't see it, you can feel the vigorous struggle.

She muttered, "I underestimated her." ”

"So, this Qin Ji is not easy to deal with." Li Nan looked at the brother and sister, and then said with a straight face: "The second son directly sent someone to attack the weaving factory, I'm afraid he has offended Qin Ji." ”

Zhou Che thought about it, but Zhou Pan said nonchalantly: "Although Qin Ji's family business is big, it is still far worse than the Zhou family. She is a woman with no foundation, and she is not afraid that these properties will be swallowed up. ”
