121 Seize the day
Gu Yang solved the two troubles at once, was in a good mood, and took Su Qingzhi and the others away.
They found an inn to stay in, and they heard a lot of people talking about the battle at the city gate, and there was a lot of uproar.
It's just that there are no such things as mobile phones and computers in this world, and the people in the inn don't know that the man who just entered the inn is the protagonist of the war they talked about.
Gu Yang had just moved in, and suddenly someone came to visit, it was a maid with an extraordinary temperament, saying that it was her master who invited them to go to the county guard's mansion to talk about it.
He politely declined.
He had noticed the carriage at the city gate just now, and he didn't have to guess who the owner of the maid was. King Jinghai's sons and daughters.
Gu Yang always had to take into account Wu Xingyun's feelings.
Of course, he still has a little Jiujiu in his heart, so that he can create an image of being kind of unrequited, and the Jinghai Mansion will pay more attention to him.
……
A few days later, the city of Jingzhou finally arrived.
This is the largest and most prosperous city Gu Yang has ever seen in this world. The city gate alone is several times larger than that of other state cities, and pedestrians and carriages have to queue up to enter.
After entering the city, the streets are even more busy.
Moreover, I can see many foreign people, whose appearance and clothing are very different from the people of the Great Zhou.
It is said that Jingzhou City is the second largest city in the Great Zhou, second only to Shendu, with a population of more than one million, and in this era, it belongs to the super city.
Jingzhou is located in the southernmost part of the Great Zhou
Jingzhou City is located in the largest river in Jingzhou, the mouth of the Jingjiang River, and has the largest seaport in the entire Great Zhou. There are countless commodities that are sold overseas through here.
Every year, there are also countless merchants from foreign lands, who travel thousands of miles to sell goods here.
Xu Ruomei suddenly sighed, "King Jinghai is really a masterpiece of a generation, and he has actually turned the barren land of Jingzhou since ancient times into such a prosperous business in just a few decades. ”
Gu Yang finally remembered what he wanted to ask a few days ago, "What kind of person is this King Jinghai?" ”
When you come to someone's territory, you always have to know his character.
Xu Ruomei said, "In terms of martial arts achievements, he is the first on the first-class list. In terms of merit, he is the first person with a different surname to be crowned a king since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In terms of governance ability, the wild land on the original border has been governed so prosperously that it is enough to be called a capable minister of the world. ”
It can be seen that she has great respect for King Jinghai.
Of course, people are indeed cattle breakers.
Then Xu Ruomei began to tell about the magnificent life of King Jinghai.
Jingzhou has always been rampant with pirates, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, strong people will be sent to exterminate them, but after more than ten years, new pirates will appear.
After a long time, the imperial court didn't care much, it was time-consuming and laborious, and there was no benefit.
A few decades ago, there was a pirate king in Jingzhou, who subdued all pirates and established a set of order, and any merchant ship entering and leaving this sea area must pay protection money.
The entire Jingzhou forces had to submit to the coercion of this pirate king.
At this time, a young man from a seaside fisherman was born, leading more than a dozen fellow villagers to fight against the Pirate King.
In just ten years, the Pirate King's power on land collapsed and he had to retreat to the sea.
That young man, who was appreciated by the governor of Jingzhou, became bigger and bigger by virtue of his military exploits, and finally became the governor of the navy. He became the No. 2 person in Jingzhou and gained great prestige.
Two years later, he entered the pirate king's lair with the cooperation of the inside and outside, killing him in one fell swoop and capturing countless people.
In the years that followed, he wiped out the remnants of the Pirate King and became the de facto ruler of Jingzhou and the seas. In terms of prestige and power, he surpassed the previous pirate kings.
coincided with the death of the Great Zhou Emperor at that time, after the extermination of the martial arts, the imperial court was also injured, and in order to appease this person, he was named the King of Jinghai.
……
When Gu Yang heard this, he felt a little strange. He couldn't understand this operation.
If you really feel that this person is a threat, there is a way. The most direct one, transfer it to the center and leave Jingzhou, isn't it for them to pinch and rub the round?
chose the stupidest way to make him a prince. Doesn't that make him the king of Jingzhou justifiably? Even if people don't have any ambitions, they have to breed ambitions.
No matter how you look at it, there are problems here. There must be something unknown to the public.
They were talking about the deeds of King Jinghai all the way, and suddenly, Gu Yang stopped in front of a trading house and looked up to see the Qian family's trading house.
Finally to the place.
"Three and a half million, I'm coming."
He walked into the firm and said to the clerk who had come to greet him, "Let your shopkeeper come to me." ”
……
Zhu Lin is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today and is the youngest treasurer in the entire Jingzhou City. But no one dared to despise him, and it was this person who, in just a few years, had run a newly established business house thrivingly.
It even opened up the sales channels of the Xidi mainland.
You must know that the West Tip Continent is the most distant and dangerous route. In the same way, it is also the most profitable, and after a trip, there will be dozens of times the profit.
It is precisely because of this that Qian's firm was able to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou City in a few years.
Many businessmen in Jingzhou City know that this young shopkeeper, as well as the younger female proprietor behind him, should not be underestimated.
Now, it is the busiest time of the year for the firm, and Zhu Lin didn't want to pay attention to it when he got a notice that someone came to him. He still has a lot of work to do.
"The big shopkeeper should go and take a look."
Zhu Lin stopped what he was doing and looked up.
The person who speaks, he trusts him very much, he has always been old-fashioned, and he will not be untargeted.
"Okay."
……
"I don't know what your Excellency is looking for?"
Zhu Lin saw a young man in his early twenties, and he was somewhat confused, but he didn't want to lack courtesy.
"My name is Gu Yang."
The young man pulled out two things.
Zhu Linzheng felt that this name was a little familiar, and when he saw what he took out, his eyes shrank. That seal is the owner's, she never leaves her, why is it in the hands of this person?
The man named Gu Yang handed him a piece of paper, "You will know after reading this." ”
Zhu Lin has also seen the wind and waves, and after reading the deed of assignment, his mind is still buzzing.
The proprietor actually transferred this trading house to this person?
"See clearly?"
Zhu Lin is not an ordinary person, he took a breath, stood up, and saluted, "I can see clearly, Zhu Lin, the big shopkeeper of the Xia Qian Firm, has seen the new owner." ”
Gu Yang was very happy to see him so cooperative, and he saved him a lot of saliva, and said, "Okay." Let me ask you, how much money can be withdrawn from the accounts of commercial banks today without affecting their daily operations? ”
Zhu Lin's expression was a little gloomy, as soon as he came up, he had to withdraw money from the firm, can this new owner run the firm well?
He still gave a number, "Two hundred thousand taels." ”
Gu Yang frowned, "So little?" ”
"The comptoir only bought four new huge ships last year, and there is a lot of money and silver, all of which are used to buy bulk goods, and it will be time to leave next month......
"When is the next payment?"
"At least ten months later."
After Gu Yang heard this, he completely extinguished this thought. Ten months is too long, and he only seizes the day.
It seems that this firm can only be sold.
He said, "You are familiar with everyone in Jingzhou City, do you know which one can buy this trading house?" ”
"What?"
Zhu Lin's face changed greatly, "You want to sell this firm?" ”
