Chapter 36: Two Tigers Fight
Master Song slammed the table, the cups and saucers on the table trembled, and the tea splashed on the table with tea foam.
Before the three outsiders could understand what the situation was, they saw the little girl shouting in the leap month.
"They are too shameless, they can't compare, they can't compare, why do they play tricks every day to disgust people."
The leap shopkeeper grabbed his daughter:
"Okay, it's useless for you to complain here, go and call your brother, you and him will follow to see, and come back and tell us if there is any situation."
Oh, Li Zhuyan? The Li family? Hearing the name, Wei Lingmiao remembered something.
Not long ago, in the court, I heard my father mention once that Qingcheng County is rich in salt fields and wants to open a big salt village.
However, the imperial court was running out of manpower recently, so it decided to find a family among the local merchants to manage the salt farm.
In addition to being responsible for the management of the salt village, he can also open a shop to sell salt, and eight percent of the profits will be handed over to the imperial court, and two shares can be counted as profits and taken by himself.
Twenty percent sounds less, but it is salt, which has always been bought and sold by the imperial court itself, and now it is the only one, allowing people to open shops and trade, and is also responsible for managing the salt village and supplying salt to the imperial court.
That's equivalent to an imperial businessman!
The Yan family, the imperial merchant who wants to make spices in Yan County, is so rich and beautiful. No matter how little 20% is, it is money, and being an imperial businessman is popular with everyone.
The businessmen of Qingcheng County have the ability to eat this great blessing, in addition to the Song family, there may only be the Li family, whose rice business is thriving.
In fact, if it weren't for Master Song's lack of rice business, the Li family might not be able to do so much, but without the Song family as a competitor, the Li family would slowly get up.
Who knew that after people became rich, they had no self-knowledge at all, and they always went toe-to-toe with the Song family and deliberately provoked trouble.
Wei Lingmiao thought that Master Song must be worried about the affairs of Yanzhuang.
Because in terms of the character of the two heads of the family, if the Song family takes over the salt village, they may not do anything to the Li family's rice business, but if the Li family takes over the salt village, the Li family will definitely take the opportunity to attack the Song family.
It is impossible for the Song family to work against the imperial court, so now they are in a hurry, no wonder some time ago, such a big thing happened to his baby daughter, but he seemed to be an outsider, Song Jinyao was cured, so he remembered to find someone to investigate.
Seeing that Master Song was angry, but he could only be depressed, Wei Linghao thought that he couldn't ask about Song Jinyao today.
However, he thought of something crucial. When someone in the DPRK mentioned this matter, Xie Wencheng seemed to be very supportive. So, is Princess Rongqu related to this matter?
But compared to mastering an imperial businessman, Princess Rongqu actually chose to go to Guyan Mountain with Xu Lesheng, and so far no one from the Xie family or Princess Rongqu has appeared.
Just now, Runyue said that Master Song is a very moral person, and he must not be used by the Xie family, so he must find a way to make the Song family the imperial businessman.
Seeing that the leap moon went out, Chang Yu and Huaixu both looked at themselves again, and Wei Linghao said:
"Master Song is worried and troubled today, but for the sake of Yanzhuang? If so, it's simple. ”
Master Song was still looking at the tea powder in his hand angrily, but when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he slowly stood up:
"You, you, do you know what you're talking about? Qingzun Pavilion is a famous family, but can it still influence the imperial court? Don't just talk about it in order for me to answer your questions. ”
Chang Yu listened, and hurried to Wei Linghao's side and whispered:
"We can't do such a thing, don't talk nonsense!"
Wei Linghao just glanced at Chang Yu lightly, and then took a sip of tea lightly:
"Could it be that Master Song thinks that the matter of Yanzhuang must have a background and a backstage in order to be stable, what you have to do now is just to defeat the Li family."
Listening to what Wei Lingmiao said seemed to make sense, Master Song slowly sat back again. I want to ask, but I don't know what to ask.
In the past few months, the Li family has been trying all kinds of ways to stir up trouble, either sending people to pretend to be guests to smash the shops in various shops, or slandering the shops under the name of the Song family as shoddy and fooling the guests.
He has a good reputation among merchants, and he is not afraid of suppliers or large merchants doubting him.
It's just that they slander themselves so much on the street every day, and over time, if the people believe it, then it will be difficult to reverse the reputation among the people.
I am in business, and it is impossible to rely on only a few large customers, and the main source is the patronage of individual customers.
Now Master Song can't help but regret that he shouldn't have given up the rice business for that ** in the first place.
Now that this kind of resources have been mastered by the Li family, even if they want to start again, I am afraid it will be difficult.
"Master Song is benevolent and benevolent, only focusing on business, and disdainful of fighting with the Li family, but now seeing that you are so entangled, you must also know that if you don't quickly bring down the Li family, once the Li family takes over Yanzhuang, what will they do to the business that you have worked hard for many years, to put it mildly, when your family is in the middle of the road, what will your daughter who has been at home for many years suffer?"
Hearing this, Master Song seemed to have made up his mind.
The leap shopkeeper on the side seemed to have advised Master Song many times on this matter, and after listening to Wei Linghao's words, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot:
"Yes, master, you have worked hard for so many years, you can't let the traitor succeed, you have to think about the future, for the sake of Miss."
"Since what you said is the Tao, and it is easy to take down the salt village, then you can tell me about it, how can you bring down the Li family and let me take over the salt village smoothly?"
"Of course, it is to treat others the way they do."
Chang Yu listened and patted his head:
"Yes, Master Song, you haven't done anything lacking in morality, the Li family can still slander you like this, then the Li family is so misbehaving, they must have done a lot of pickled things! All you have to do is ... ”
"But I'm busy with business, where do I have time to collect evidence of their crimes?"
"Hey, isn't it us. We can help you. ”
Chang Yue volunteered.
"My daughter's business is not done yet, do you still have the energy to take care of my business? Shall I give you another sum of silver? lest you be overworked. ”
"Hey, there is no conflict between these two things, as long as you agree, we will solve this big problem for you, no need to take any more money, as long as you tell us some recent information about Ling Qianjin."
It is worthy of the Qingzun Pavilion, compared to those small darts that are bent on drilling in the eyes of money, if his son is still there, he should also be sent to the Qingzun Pavilion to be trained and trained, and Master Song's good impression of them has been greatly improved.
He sat down again, and with the help of Kiyotaru Pavilion, the big stone in his heart was half down.
"Then whatever you want to ask, just ask."
"Don't be in a hurry about this matter today, you should talk about the Li family."
Wei Linghao took a step forward and spoke.
"They? In the past few days, Li Zhuyan of their Li family has been making trouble in my shops everywhere every day, and a woman who has not left the cabinet is wandering around the street, talking to people everywhere, which is really embarrassing. ”
Huai thought to himself, there are many such girls in the capital, it is necessary to be so serious, let this Song master talk about the situation of the Li family, why is it that Li Zhuyan is not walking around outside.
"You choose what matters."
Always heal reminders.
"What's the matter, I'm busy with business every day, I really don't know them, I...
Halfway through the conversation, there was another commotion outside.
The sound of the leap moon chirping was heard in the distance, and after a while, the figure of the little girl flashed through the door.
"Daddy, sir! Look! I made Li Zhuyan lose a lot of face! ”
Everyone looked over, and Runyue looked excited, followed by his brother Runlang. Yan Lang greeted everyone, but before he could speak, his sister intercepted the conversation.
"Then Li Zhuyan said that her friend made jewelry in the pawnshop, and now blame us for lowering the price, so I will persuade that Miss Zhang, she is so difficult, she has to be her own jewelry, but her so-called good friend, Miss Li, still refuses to help her, and now she has been deceived, and she just let her run in front of everyone to scold the street, which is really embarrassing."
It seems that this matter just now is indeed very happy, and the little girl's chatterbox can't be closed when it is opened.
"And what's more, I shook the so-called golden step that she took on the spot, and it was actually copper!"
As she spoke, she folded her hands and acted out the scene for them.
"I gave an ordinary hairpin in the shop to Miss Zhang on the spot, but I said, since you can't even beg, you can't beg on your good friend, it seems that your friend is not very good, I asked her to beg here later, keep her and get a few good ones to wear, haha, she was angry and her face was white, and Li Zhuyan couldn't say anything angry."
The people in the room had different expressions when they heard this, laughing and sorrowful.
