Chapter 684: Nangong Lie's Selfishness

The four prefectures of Chuxi are full of beacons, but the weeping blood valley of Nanxing Mansion, which is thousands of miles away, is like a paradise, and it has not been affected by the war at all, or, stimulated by the war, various transactions have risen instead of falling.

And with the big households from all over Chuxi escaping from the four mansions of Chuxi and coming to the Weeping Blood Valley, the Weeping Blood Valley has become a little more prosperous and lively in just two months.

With the successive victories of the Third Forbidden Army Corps of the Empire on the Huaishui line, Situ Hao, the Qing Prince who had occupied Suzhou Mansion, finally couldn't sit still, and after driving away the Dongyi people, he left part of the occupation of Suzhou Mansion, and led the army north to return to Qingzhou, and the situation in Yangzhou was temporarily calm.

As the two economic centers of Yangzhou, the two prefectures of Suzhou, now there have been changes, Yangzhou as the capital of Yangzhou, the status of nature is unshakable, but the status of Suzhou is plummeting, especially the weaving family of Suzhou led the weavers to Qianhu County, and re-established the Bai family compound in Nanhu County, weaving workshop.

The status of Jinfeng Mansion has risen sharply, and Wu Chang has also been transferred to Jinfeng Mansion as a governor of the first mansion after some efforts, as well as the support of the Nangong family, responsible for local tranquility, and has been affected by the Jinhe trade, Jinfeng Mansion is not a remote and poor place in the southwest of Yangzhou in the past, especially the Nangong family has also vigorously expanded its business here, and a large number of nobles and wealthy families in Yangzhou have also followed suit.

While the entire empire was in the midst of a war, the southeast of Chu and the southwest of Yangzhou became a paradise that was not affected by the war because of a river, and more and more people bought real estate and carried out trade.

"It's really unimaginable that such a remote place can become so prosperous in just a few years, although the number of boats coming and going in this water is not as good as Yangzhou Wharf, but there are so many boats gathered in a river, how spectacular!"

A special passenger boat gently scrapes in the river, on the third floor of the boat, there are four large private rooms that are divided, inside, there is a bed, which can be used to sit or sleep, the couch is placed on a low table, leaning on the couch, and you can go to the view of the river bank through the open window.

Nangong Yuhu stretched out his jade hand, brewed tea, poured it into the white jade cup, pushed it to the opposite side of the table, and poured another cup for himself, it seemed to have long been commonplace, and said indifferently: "This golden river is just the tip of the iceberg, my father arrived at the Valley of Weeping Blood, only to know that the prosperity of a valley is more prosperous than Yangzhou, a square inch of land, worth a thousand gold, it is difficult to find one, and the current situation is even more so!"

"My daughter is here these days, and she has taken over the trade line here in Yangzhou, only to know that in the past, the Nangong family's means of making money compared to it were simply a big deal, not to mention anything else, but this random boatload of goods, from this river, almost charged a tax of three cents to cents of the price of the goods, it doesn't seem to be much, but every day, there are at least a thousand round-trips under the Jin River!"

"Even if a ship collects a tax of 500 gold, there are tens of thousands of dollars a day, and it is only the most basic tax income, in the Weeping Blood Castle, a house of less than 100 square meters, if you want to buy it, you need 10,000 gold, or there is no market, and there are even people in the lower part of the 30,000 or 40,000 gold, as for the shops in the fort, they are even more valuable, they are only rented and not sold, and the rent alone will reach 10,000 gold in a month!"

"And these are not the most profitable business, the Ping An gold and silver tickets issued in the Weeping Blood Valley, but also accumulate countless wealth, deposit a gold coin, on the issuance of two gold coin tickets, now in most places in Chuzhou, Yangzhou southwest three prefectures, this Ping An gold and silver tickets have become the first choice of almost all merchants!

Nangong Lie listened to what Nangong Yuhu said, although there was not too much expression on his face, but he knew in his heart, that son left Yangzhou for only more than three months, and the Nangong family from the beginning of the contact, to the current comprehensive cooperation, meddling in the Yangzhou part of the Jinhe route, just from the book, Nangong Lie has changed a lot.

Nangong family ticket house in Yangzhou used to be the first golden ticket bank, Nangong family reputation can be one of the best, there are golden ticket branches everywhere in Yangzhou, and from this year, the ticket house in Jintuo Mansion began to withdraw a large number of gold, the deposit ticket was exchanged, especially the opening of the Ping An ticket house, this accumulation trend is even faster, but after all, it is only limited to one place, and has little impact on the Nangong family.

But since the emergence of Yangzhou Kou, Suzhou Mansion, and several coastal provinces were disturbed by Dongyi, many people have begun to flow to the interior, and Jinfeng Mansion is naturally the first choice, these rich families who fled from their homes, wealthy families fleeing, family property, real estate, shops, and even treasures at home are naturally not easy to take away, but gold tickets, silver tickets are easy to carry.

In September, September, the large-scale exchange once made the ticket line of the Nangong family almost collapsed, and the gold in various places was run out, and even had to use the savings of the Nangong family to deal with it.

And Suzhou was captured, the Nangong family suffered heavy losses here, and with the entry of Prince Qing, the interests here were taken away from most of it, even if they wanted to recover, it would take two or three years, but the Nangong family suffered heavy losses in the previous series of accidents, and even touched the root of the Nangong family.

If it weren't for Nangong Yuhu's cleverness, he established cooperation with the Leng family in a timely manner, merged the two ticket houses, and at the same time used his position and prestige in Yangzhou to occupy sixty percent of Yangzhou's interests and recover his losses, and his position as the head of the family would have become a hot potato.

After the initial adjustment, by now, the Nangong family has begun to continuously obtain benefits from the trade of the Golden River, although they lost the leg of Suzhou, but they got the leg of Jin Feng, and the prospects are more clear, after all, Suzhou is a place with many forces, and Jin Feng is the Nangong family covering the sky with one hand, which naturally cannot be compared.

"Jade Fox, when did that son marry you?" Nangong Lie suddenly asked.

Nangong Yuhu paused for a moment, but then resumed his faint walk: "I haven't seen anyone for two or three months, I heard that Chuxi is very fierce, Pingnan Hou Chen Nan led the army to a fiasco, and now the four prefectures of Chuxi are in danger, almost most of the state capitals have fallen, he seems to be taking a group of heavy battalions over there to keep the Xiangshui line!"

"Oh! It seems that many nobles from all over Chuzhou have already raised anti-flags, won't it affect him here!" Nangong Lie said, now that the Nangong family and the Leng family are linked in interests, if something happens in Chuzhou, Yangzhou will also be affected, so Nangong Lie is a little worried.

And this time he left Yangzhou City and ran to the Weeping Blood Valley, naturally after hearing a lot of news, he couldn't sit still, especially after the cooperation between the two families, so that the Nangong family had a bright future.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, almost all the nobles in Nanxing Mansion are standing in the same boat with the Leng family, and their interests are tied together, and in addition to some of the soldiers at home, all the troops are pinched by the Leng family, even if a few excluded nobles want to jump ether, they can't jump ether, Nanlin Mansion is a little unstable, but those people don't rebel, but if they do, they will be unlucky!"

"Oh?" Nangong Lie was a little puzzled, the current situation in Chuzhou was a bit bad, the number of soldiers and horses that the empire could control was less than one legion, and there were as many as a few enemies to face, Li Tang in the north, the Holy Sect in the west, and the nobles in the territory were in rebellion, and whether the remaining soldiers and horses could hold the current territory was a problem, where was there still a place for troops to be requisitioned.

"Heh, I don't know about it, I just occasionally hear them get up, it seems that there is still a hidden army and horses here that have not been used, if Nanlin Mansion is in chaos, this army will definitely be used, Nanlin Mansion can be stuck in the Xiangshui Waterway, and it is next to Nanxing Mansion, no matter what, you can't let this place be chaotic!"

"What, there's something to hide from you now?What does this mean?" Nangong Lie's eyes couldn't help but widen, as if he was very angry.

"It's not a secret, because the military and political affairs of Weeping Blood Castle are not one, most of our women are in contact with housework, as for the military, there are other people in charge, and the usual chats are all spread news, as for the details, it is estimated that only that group of people knows!"

"Heh, the more I think this is mysterious, this time I went to the Weeping Blood Valley, in addition to Zhang Luo for your marriage, the elders of the family also agreed to let my Nangong family take some strength to support the Leng family, and the brocade guards at home will also be handed over to you to take care of!"

Nangong Yuhu drank. Tea, but there is no objection to this, the Jinyi Guard, the secret guard organization of the Nangong family, is also an intelligence organization, specializing in exploring all kinds of news for the Nangong family, doing something that cannot be seen, and it is also one of the core forces of the Nangong family, and it has always been controlled by the head of the family.

Nangong Lie handed over the Jinyi Guards to her, not because she would be the head of the Nangong family, but it was clear that the Nangong family had begun to attach importance to the cooperation with the Leng family, and if possible, to obtain more benefits.

"The family has come up with a lot of money this time, but some of the thoughts are better to play less, this bamboo. The guy is not a vegetarian, if he really goes too far, I won't be able to maneuver in it!" Nangong Yuhu said lightly:

Nangong Lie smiled and said: "Don't worry, the family's plan is to establish a more intimate relationship with the Leng family, this son is ambitious, and in the current situation of the empire, it is difficult to reshape Kyushu with the sweep of the universe a hundred years ago, the Nangong family has never had the ambition to ascend to that position, because that is not our way of survival, but I am a good son, and in the future, your child will not be able to inherit the family business, but it is the same to inherit the family business of my Nangong family, it is not good to be taken away by other houses!"

Nangong Yuhu slightly lowered his nose, the big family is not monolithic, especially the Nangong family and the millennium family, how many partial houses are there within the five suits, and there are not many people who want to steal the lineage of the head of the family, sometimes outsiders are more reliable than the family, Nangong Yuhu is a daughter, although she has the talent of heaven and man, but she can't get to the position of the head of the family.

However, if Nangong Yuhu can give birth to an heir, as long as the Leng family is not declining, he will have a little grasp of the position of the head of the family, which is also a little selfishness of Nangong Lie.
