In the past year, it has been said that Daqi is the most talked-about. What's the most popular topic on the streets? That is the Fulishan Copper Mine in the south and the Yichun Hall in the north, which have been born in the past two years and can compete with the four major families.
Let's talk about this Yichun Hall first, two years ago, two years ago, Yichun Hall branches have sprung up all over Daqi like mushrooms after a rain, the owner of Yichun Hall is known as the god of medicine by the world, and the business is completely down-class, in the past two years, he has never befriended the powerful, only with a "letter" word, a good reputation of good quality and low price, he conquered the entire people of Daqi.
Xichuntang also sells some precious and rare strange medicines, for these, it is really not negotiable, but those dignitaries can't ask for it, and they take the silver to buy it every day, this kind of medicine is only available in branches in several major cities in Daqi, and most of the branches sell commonly used medicines, which are cheap and have miraculous effects.
Yichuntang operates in line with the principle of small profits and quick turnover, and let the benefits and the people operate, and she has taken this initiative. It nourishes all the people like spring breeze and rain, so that the people of Daqi are full of worship and gratitude to the master of Yichun Hall, the god of medicine.
In other words, if you stand on the street and scold the current saint for being a dumb king, as long as you don't point to the point that there happens to be a team of royal forest soldiers passing by, no one will pay attention to you, but if you dare to shout that the god of medicine is a person who deceives the world and steals fame, and scolds a few words, you can look at it, someone will definitely hit you with eggs and stones, and you will be so smashed that you can't even recognize your parents and parents.
Yichun Tang is most famous for a Wen and a Wu two people, Wen has Li Du, this person is very talented in business, is the number one shopkeeper of Yichun Tang, in charge of the head office of Yi Chuntang, supervising all branches, in the past two years, his subordinates have cultivated a large number of business wizards, sent to branches around the country, and the Yichun Tang business is not leaking.
Wu has Ouyang Di, it is said that this person has practiced a set of Sanqing swordsmanship, and there are few opponents, but he willingly listened to the punishment of the medicine god and became the number one bodyguard of Yichun Hall. A year ago. This person built a medicine garden a hundred miles away from Jinyang City, named Baicao Garden, claimed to be the owner of Baicao Garden, planted various herbs, and used them exclusively for Yichun Hall, which is also the main reason why Yichun Tang's medicine is cheaper than other places.
Of course, there are also those who don't open their eyes to trouble Yichuntang, but firstly, there is the support of the prince, and secondly, Yichuntang has successively cultivated a large number of well-trained bodyguards in the past year. What's more, Cheng Xixiang, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, issued a Qingzhu Order in order to thank the God of Medicine for saving his life, claiming that Yichuntang is a friend of the Qingzhu Gang.
Let's talk about this Fuli Mountain Copper Mine, a year and a half ago. The prince is critically ill, Emperor Jin has just had the signs of re-establishing the prince, King Yan is connected with the courtiers, and the queen mother is knotted, and he does not take the throne and does not stop, so that Emperor Jin, who is in the prime of life, is frightened, worried that King Yan will make a tragedy of forcing the palace, which is not only unstable, but also makes him ruined.
As soon as the prince's illness improved, Emperor Jin dismissed some officials with lightning speed, readjusted the situation of the court, and broke the monopoly pattern of the four major families in the salt, mining, transportation, grain and other industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood in Daqi, and handed over the newly discovered mining rights of the Fulishan Copper Mine, which should have been in charge of the Ouyang family, to the newly established Shangguan Jun.
A month later, Emperor Jin granted Shangguan Jun a portion of the trading rights in the grain and silk industries, which had been monopolized by the Xiao family and the Situ family.
This Shangguan Jun's background is also very mysterious, people don't know where his silver comes from, only know that his family is wealthy, and he is fast and ruthless in business, often at lightning speed, with super financial and material resources plus ingenuity to suppress business opponents, get the right to trade grain and silk, after a few rounds, he robbed most of the Xiao family and the Situ family's business in the south, and developed the Fulishan copper mine, and in only a year and a half, it has become a hot upstart in addition to the four major families.
With the power of the Xiao family, he was also defeated by Shangguan Jun, which made people even more suspicious of the identity background of Shangguan Jun, the owner of the Fulishan Copper Mine.
"Shangguan" is the surname of the country, so some people are rumored that this person is the prince of the current saint. In order to suppress the four great families, Emperor Jin deliberately did it, which made Shangguan Jun's life story even more legendary, and there were several different versions circulating in the market.
Another reason why the owner of Yichun Hall and Shangguan Jun are full of legends is the mystery of these two people, the owner of this Yichun Hall is said to be a young man like jade, named Li Mengtan, Ping's trace, everything in Yichun Hall is taken care of by the big shopkeeper Li Du, and the people who have seen his true face in the past two years can be counted with two hands.
That Shangguan Jun is even more strange, it is said that he is a cold and handsome young man with extraordinary skills. Most of his business is handled by Shangguan Kui. occasionally appears, but he also wears a cold mask, and no one has seen his true face, which makes people even more suspicious of his identity.
In response to the rise of these two upstarts, people were amazed at not only speculation, but also what did it portend because of the battle for storage positions, the current Shengshangqin broke the pattern of the four great families monopolizing the economy of Daqi for many years?
Xiao Jun sat in the study of the outer house, the case was full of documents and accounts, a year and a half of painstaking operation, under the secret promotion of the Xiao family and Concubine Jing, he developed the Fulishan copper mine, and transferred most of the Xiao family's southern business to Shangguan Jun's name. In order to hide people's eyes, he robbed part of the Situ family's business in the south by the way, and quickly gained a firm foothold in the south, and now that the business is on the right track, there is no need for him to sit in the battle himself.
Xiao Xia came in with a stack of account books, and said to the second master:
"Second master, this is the account sent by the semicolon of Yingcheng and Baokang, please take a look"
"Let's put it down"
Xiao Jun responded casually, he didn't bother to pay attention to business matters at this time, and was looking at the letter sent by Xiao Xia before, and flipped through a few times. I didn't find what he wanted, so I left the letter on the ground and sat there in a daze, I had been in the south for a year and a half, and Xi'er hadn't written a word to him.
Every time he receives a letter from home, he is most eager to receive her letter, even if it is a word, didn't she find that the Su embroidery he sent back last time was carefully selected by him, and it is many times better than his aunt's? He had spent so much time hoping to see her words, even if it was just words of thanks.
Like a person will pay attention to her, and hate it the same, Xiao Jun was initially deceived by the rumors in the market, and preconceived that she was not perfect, and he was extremely disgusted with Mengxi, and he hated to destroy this beautiful little woman who made his heart move with his own hands, and deliberately found fault with her at the same time, he also paid more attention to her, and unconsciously engraved her deeply in his heart.
I remember that before leaving, I was shocked to hear the identity of her concubine, and I knew that he had failed her due to a misunderstanding before, and I said goodbye without saying goodbye in heartache.
That night, he suffered from the cold, was sick all the way, and almost died on the road, he was only afraid that he would die, her life would not be able to live, he was alive, even if his heart hurt, he could look at her and arrange a future for her. It was such a belief that sustained him to survive.
When the old lady heard that he was sick on the road, he sent someone to take him back to Pingyang more than once, but he remembered the person in Pingyang who broke his heart, and still resolutely insisted on the way south.
Leaving just to forget, I don't want to be more than a year away in time and space, which did not let him forget, but made this love more intense. Let him find that he is hopeless, and without her, he will suffocate to death.
Xiao Xia, who was standing on the side, had followed the second master for so long, and knew his thoughts best, seeing that he threw away the letter, he hurriedly stepped forward and picked it up one by one and said:
"Second master, Xiao Yun wrote to say that everything is fine with the second grandmother, except for asking the old lady to say goodbye every day, she only practices calligraphy in the house, reads, rarely goes out of the house, and even the aunts are exempt from asking for peace, only three days of fishing and two days of drying nets like a scene, and occasionally goes out of the house to drink tea in a teahouse"
"Who is in charge of this tea house, where does the second grandmother always go?"
"This teahouse is opened by a mother-in-law, Li Quan went to inquire, and the mother-in-law said that she and the second grandmother talked very much."
Xiao Jun listened, frowned, raised his head and said:
"You prepare, you will leave for Binh Duong in a few days"
"Second master, didn't you say that it will take more than two months, why do you go back now, isn't it a bit hasty?"
"Don't wait, let's go back first, just let Xiao Kui take care of it here"
Seeing that the second master said decisively, Xiao Xia hurriedly answered, turned around and walked out.
Xiao Xia went out, and the second master opened Mengxi's portrait again, which he painted when he was in Pingyang, and has been with him for more than a year. Yes, he can't wait, he doesn't mind if she is a complete body, as long as she becomes his real wife in this life, if he wants her, he may regret that she is not a complete body, but without her, what if he owns the world!
As long as Xi'er is of the same heart as him, the ancestors of the Xiao family, they will always find a way to fight.
The trace of affection that the second master revealed a year ago has long since melted away like ice and snow in early spring with the barrier of time and space. At least, she doesn't remember anymore.
The gift to his wife is naturally higher than that of the concubine, Mengxi was not excited about the second master to send a different gift at all, and only told the eldest aunt to write a letter to the family as a thank you, so Zhiqiu sent it to the treasury and put it in the cabinet, at this time Mengxi was concentrating on practicing her big characters.
The second master was in a hurry last time, Mengxi didn't have time to take a break, fortunately, as soon as the second master left, Xiu'er was sent away by the old lady, without the support of the second master, several aunts also lost their temper, Mengxi's life in Xiao Mansion was also at ease, the eldest lady often found faults, but the old lady pressed her, and she couldn't do anything with her, even Mengxi was strange, since the second master left, the old lady was extra supportive of her. In this way, she lived peacefully in Xiao Mansion for more than a year, but developed Yichun Hall.
Mengxi is confident that she can now walk sideways in the Xiao Mansion, and she can pat her chest in front of the second master and say:
"We're not going to serve you!". Ancestral Xun Chapter 169 Potential
