Zhuang Shaoyou bowed slightly, Gongsun Du was right, the price of grain in Puyang under the control of Zhuang Shaoyou has reached five hundred yuan a hundred, if it is not controlled, it will definitely fly to the sky, after Zhuang Shaoyou left Luoyang, the price of food in Luoyang began to skyrocket, so far it has exceeded a thousand yuan a hundred, the people complained, and some people jointly petitioned, asking the general to return to the court as soon as possible!

Since grain can be sold at a high price in the future, why should it be sold to you at a low price? Your general's face is big, but you can't be too domineering, right? Cutting off people's financial means will cause a backlash!

Zhuang Shaoyou fell into contemplation, the reason why Liaonan is so well controlled is because it is originally poor and white, everything is the credit of Zhuang Shaoyou, Liaonan knows this from top to bottom, so Zhuang Shaoyou ordered to ban the export of grain and grass, then no one will dare to sell grain! In addition, the merchants in southern Liaoning are busy doing sea trade and building workshops, and the profits are large, and they lose the harvest of mulberry elm in the east! Of course there will be no opinion!

And Gongsun Du is different, Gongsun Du has always been an outsider, although Xiangping relies on his protection, but the major wealthy families have deep roots, the relationship is intertwined, and the background is too thick, Gongsun Du can not cover the sky with one hand, and Xiangping Hao family In addition to selling grain, other trade aspects are just beginning.

After some careful consideration, Zhuang Shaoyou said: "Uncle Gongsun, this matter is not impossible, the wealthy merchants of Xiangping City must also want to do business, but Xiangping's merchant ships are not enough, and there is no trade route, the little nephew can think of a compromise solution, as long as the wealthy family of Xiangping sells grain to the little nephew, the little nephew will issue a business qualification, and Liaonan will allocate a group of merchant ships to take them to do business, the ship is ready-made, the trade route is ready-made, and tax-free, as for what goods to sell, that's their business!" I wonder what Uncle Gongsun thinks? ”

Gongsun Du pondered for a long time and said: "Shaoyou, although this matter is feasible, Uncle Ran doesn't want them to participate in the sea trade, the profits of the sea trade are far beyond imagination, this group of guys is already too big to lose, if they take the opportunity to develop again, then Uncle will be even more difficult to do!" ”

Gongsun Du told the truth and expressed his concerns, but Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "Uncle Gongsun is too worried, how do you think the merchants of southern Liaoning compare to the Xiangping Hao family?" The ship is our ship, the trade route is our trade route, once they get on our ship, and then think about it, is it so easy? I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it when the time comes! Xiangping shipbuilding has just started, and it will be temporarily represented by Liaonan, and it will gradually be transferred to Xiangping in the future! ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, the fire is a lose-lose situation, so why not cooperate and win-win? Tie them up with interests and control them with merchant ships! Why not do it without shaking the foundation and achieving the goal? If there is no restraint from the Xiangping Hao clan, Liaodong can still take a big step forward!

The goal, occupy the Liao Plain! Annexation of Xuansu County!

Just do it, Gongsun Du and Zhuang Shaoyou reached an agreement and began to mobilize separately, the efficiency of southern Liaoning was so high, Gongsun Du was dumbfounded. In half a day's effort, the Liaonan Commerce and Trade Department raised a three-masted merchant ship and a four-masted warship as an escort, and also equipped it with experienced trade route management personnel to guide it as the first batch of bargaining chips to win over the Xiangping wealthy family.

That night, Gongsun Du stayed in Liaonan County Shoufu, and Zhuang Shaoyou stayed at Gongsun Linglong.

The next day, Gongsun Du couldn't wait to return to Xiangping with Zhuang Shaoyou's fleet and negotiate with the Xiangping wealthy family.

Three days later, news came from Xiangping that the wealthy family of Xiangping agreed to Zhuang Shaoyou's proposal, but asked to go to the sea trade first to try, and if it was suitable, they would continue to cooperate! Zhuang Shaoyou agreed without hesitation, Gongsun Du also meant this, anyway, the purchase of grain is not in a hurry!

At the end of the month, Hua Tuo, who had been playing in southern Liaoning for more than ten days, came to resign.

In the living room, Zhuang Shaoyou and Hua Tuo sat opposite each other.

Zhuang Shaoyou personally poured a bowl of tea for Hua Tuo, and said with a smile: "This time there is Lao Hua's divine doctor!" I was offended a lot before, and I ask Dr. Hua Shen to bear with me! ”

Hua Tuo didn't care at all: "Take people's money, treat people, and take what they need!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "Doctor Huashen is open-minded by nature, and he is very human!" ”

Hua Tuo said while digging his nose: "General, Hua has something to ask for!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou said: "Doctor Hua has something to say, please speak!" As long as General Ben can do it, he will definitely not shirk it! ”

Hua Tuo smiled: "Lend me to order the entanglement!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou just took a sip of tea, but he almost squirted out.

"Doctor Hua is laughing, right? Didn't Mr. Guo cash in the bounty to Dr. Hua? This miser, look at me and don't clean him up! Doctor Hua, no matter how much it will be handled! ”

Hua Tuo laughed: "You said that old black? He didn't look good when he gave me the money! But it's not a short catty! Two thousand gold is a lot! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was very strange and asked, "Oh? That being the case, Hua Shen Doctor won't have run out, right? ”

Hua Tuo said generously: "That's right! I was deceived by those little girls! Hahahaha! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was in a cold sweat when he heard it, is this what the legend is: willing to love his daughter and smile lightly?

Hua Tuo saw Zhuang Shaoyou stunned there, and said impatiently: "General, do you want to give a happy word?" To borrow or not to borrow? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou came back to his senses at this time, and immediately ordered outside: "Someone! Go and fetch five hundred pounds of gold! ”

When Hua Tuo heard this, he immediately smiled, and praised: "The general is really a happy person!" It's much better than those duplicitous hypocrites! ”

A quarter of an hour later, four burly soldiers arrived in the hall carrying a crate, opened the lid of the crate, and withdrew. Without waiting for Zhuang Shaoyou to speak, Hua Tuo had already stepped forward, grabbed the world's golden treasure, and slammed it into his arms, after a while, his body was already bulging, but there was still most of the box left, Hua Tuo seemed to shake his head regretfully: "No matter more, I can't take it!" Thank you for the gift! ”

After speaking, he sat back in his seat, and under Zhuang Shaoyou's surprised gaze, he groped in his crotch for a long time, and actually took out a book, threw it on the table, and then got up and left.

While walking, he muttered: "Hua Mou doesn't like to owe favors to others the most in his life, and this book is worth the general's money!" Let's go! After saying that, he ran out quickly, and the soldiers of the county government knew this Hua Shen Doctor, so although they were curious, they didn't stop him.

Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head and smiled bitterly, walked over and picked up the book, a foul smell came to his face, quickly covered his nose, and looked at it:

"Five Fowl Play"!

After a while, his subordinates reported that those Qinglou girls from Puyang had something to visit!

Zhuang Shaoyou was a little confused, what are these little girls doing? However, he still patiently went to meet them, and at the same time called a team of guards to prepare for harassment.

In the living room, Zhuang Shaoyou sat at the top, and there were a large number of women hula below, but this group of women had changed from the dust of the past, without heavy makeup, just a little powder, and no longer the previous coquettishness.

Seeing Zhuang Shaoyou, although the women's eyes were still bright, they were much more restrained than before, and they did not come forward to harass. Zhuang Shaoyou was stared at by the scorching eyes of the women, coughed lightly, concealed the embarrassment in his heart, and said:

"I wonder why you're here?"

The women chattered for a long time, and then a representative was introduced to answer.

The woman bowed and saluted: "The people's girl Du Shi Niang pays a visit to the general!" Shi Niang and her sisters are here today to ask for something, and I beg the general to take them in! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou listened, Du Shi Niang? Is it the one who committed suicide by throwing himself into the river after meeting someone who was unladylike? Even though it's without makeup, it looks pretty good! Gathering his thoughts, he asked, "Take in?" If you are willing to live in southern Liaoning for a long time, it is not impossible, and the general can send someone to arrange food and living! ”

Du Shi Niang smiled slightly, seeing that Zhuang Shaoyou was in a trance, and said: "General, Shi Niang and your sisters came here with the general, and they liked it here, and the sisters didn't want to go back to Puyang to live that life of strong smiles. It's just that there are still some twists and turns in this matter and I have to bother the general, Shi Niang and her sisters have signed a deed of sale with Qinglou, so ......"

Zhuang Shaoyou immediately understood when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, General Ben will definitely handle this matter for you!" If nothing else, then General Ben is going to take care of official business! ”

When all the women heard this, they all showed resentful eyes, but Du Shi Niang smiled slightly: "So, Shi Niang and the sisters thank the general!" However, Shi Niang and her sisters still have one more thing to ask for! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou just wanted to get up and run away, and when he heard Du Shi Niang's request, he immediately frowned, they wouldn't have anything to think about, right? Du Siniang saw Zhuang Shaoyou frowning and guessed what he was thinking, so she hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, general!" Shi Niang and her sisters are all dust girls, and they know that their status is low, and they dare not have any extravagant hopes! I just want to ask the general to allow Shi Niang and her sisters to do business in southern Liaoning! ”

"Doing business? Are you going to do business? ”

Du Siniang nodded: "Yes!" Shi Niang and most of the sisters were raised by businessmen, and when they were in Puyang, they were also businessmen who had the most contact, and they also had some understanding of business. As long as the general allows it, Shi Niang and her sisters will take care of other things! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly realized that this group of girls got 2,000 catties of gold from Hua Tuo, and thirty women returned to Puyang with 2,000 catties of gold. Immediately bowed slightly:

"General Ben is right! However, the chief and deputy directors of the Department of Commerce and Trade are not here, and when they come back, the general will tell them to take care of you more! Alright, General Ben is going to get busy, so please take care of yourself! ”

finally perfunctory to the women, Zhuang Shaoyou also returned to the back house as if he fled, I am afraid that this matter cannot be hidden, rather than waiting for the harem to crusade, it is better to take the initiative to admit the mistake and strive for a leniency!

In the room of Momei in the back house, because Momei was pregnant, Zhuang Shaoyou resolutely forbade him to take care of government affairs, and the work of the Financial Secretary was concurrently held by Guoyuan, and this old scalper didn't know how to be tired anyway.

Zhuang Shaoyou took the ink eyebrows in his arms and gently soothed them. Mo Mei Bingxue was smart and asked curiously, "Why do you have time to come to me today?" It can't be another mistake, right? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled, quickly explained what happened just now, and assured that he was innocent, and there was a team of soldiers who could testify!

After hearing this, Mo Mei smiled faintly: "I'll let you go this time!" They want to do business, which is also a good thing, who says women are inferior to men? Their capital is also very abundant, I will discuss it with Linglong when I go back, just take care of them more, they are all hard-working women! ”

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately nodded in response: "Yes, they are all hard-working women!" ”

Suddenly, there was a pain in my waist, and I was pinched by my ink eyebrows again! Mo Mei asked with an unkind expression, "What?" Sympathy is flooding again? You don't want to pity the fragrance again, do you? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "How can it!" It's enough to have a few of you for the husband! ”

"Humph! Sweet talk! ”

Although he is disdainful in his mouth, he is sweet in his heart.
