Chapter 163: The Rumor of the Wind

Zhao Rang and Ximen Da Zhuang walked out of the street without looking back.

He had never seen Ximo Dazhuang so neat, and he walked so fast that he couldn't keep up.

"Are you in a hurry to order a coffin? Walk so fast? ”

Zhao Rang couldn't help but complain.

"Brother Jean, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Zhao let spread his hands and said:

"Nothing to be embarrassed about."

"But I'm a little scared."

Ximen Dazhuang just wanted to refute, but when he heard the second half of Zhao Rang's sentence, he thought he was joking, so he joked:

"You're not afraid in the Western Regions, what's there to be afraid of when you come back?"

Zhao Rang shook his head and said:

"Did you hear what that girl said?"

Simon Dazhuang replied:

"I heard it, he said that Aunt Shu sold Ivy Garden to Jiang Lang. This kid! Really! I don't know where he got so much money! ”

The boundary where Ivy Garden is located is the most prosperous place in Suluo City.

The land occupied by that garden alone is not cheap, not to mention that there is such a gold and silver sea business above.

As long as the name of Ivy Garden does not change, this is an evergreen cash cow. The guests don't care who the boss is, they come here for the first class enjoyment. If this does not change, the Ivy Garden will not change.

Qingxue said, Jiang Lang is just a person in front of the stage. It was the Longfan Club that really made this deal. ”

Simon Dazhuang was obviously extremely unfamiliar with the name.

But it doesn't sound easy for a force to use "dragon" as a name.

"Let you know this force, brother?"

Zhao Rang pondered for a moment, nodded, and replied:

"I don't know about it, but I've heard of it."

Ximen Dazhuang likes Zhao Rang to talk about all kinds of forces and characters in these great powers, listening to Zhao Rang's guidance, thinking that this may be another big fun, so he immediately pulled Zhao Rang and said:

"Let's find a comfortable place, sit down and talk slowly!"

The two of them came out for most of the day today, Luo Yuelou didn't eat the dishes, and Changchun Yuan didn't enjoy it well, and finally ate a hot pot, but they were embarrassed.

On a crisp autumn night, the two of them are really sorry for such good weather today.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Rang stopped Ximen Dazhuang.

There are only a few places where they go back and forth on weekdays, and almost all of them hit nails today. At this moment, I really can't think of a good place to go.

"Let's say okay first, don't go to your family's property!"

Simon Dazhuang agrees.

He came out in the name of treating Zhao Rang, if he swaggered to his own property and was seen by acquaintances, he would inevitably be arrested and go home to live that 9-to-5, lifeless life.

But after thinking about it for a long time, neither of them figured out where they could go, and finally felt that it was better to choose, so they simply walked around the street and went in as soon as they saw it.

"The Taishang River enters the sea, and your family also has merchant ships along the Taishang River to purchase goods on overseas hanging islands, you should know this, right?"

The two finally walked into a place where they listened to books and drank tea.

Before the weather turns completely cold, the bookstore will be at full capacity at night. As long as the people don't disperse, let the storyteller continue. After all, when it's cold, there are fewer people who come to listen to books.

The book field is large, and no matter how many braziers you light up, your feet will freeze.

When winter comes, most people will choose to drink, and the business of the bookstore will immediately dim.

Ximen Da Zhuang's family does not do the business of bookstores, so the bookstores in Suluo City have nothing to do with him, and the two of them can go in generously and choose the most comfortable table.

The population on the stage is like a river, and the mouths of the people in the audience are not idle.

"Yes, I wanted to run with the boat, and my father agreed, but I don't know who stabbed my grandmother for this...... In the end, it didn't work out! ”

Simon Da Zhuang said regretfully.

People born in the north have a natural love for water. Like him, Zhao Rang not only likes water, but also likes to take boats.

Especially the sea ships that go to sea!

It was built tall and large, and the deck was extremely wide. Walking on it is smooth and steady, no different from being on the ground.

"The Dragon Sail Society was originally a group of pirates, who guarded the mouth of the Taishang River, plundering Dawei's merchant ships to make a living."

"Really? My boat doesn't seem to have been robbed! ”

Zhao Rang glanced at him and said:

"That's because your old man is older. You don't know, I know, your family will send people to overseas hanging islands every quarter to give gifts. So every time your merchant ship enters the sea, it will be safe and sound. ”

Simon nodded his head.

But this time, he quickly reacted to the suspicion in Zhao Rang's words.

"Give gifts to the hanging islands overseas, what's the matter with these pirates?!" 【1】

【6】

【6】

【Small】

[Say]

Zhao Rang didn't answer, and threw him a "you know" look.

Simon had a temper when he was strong, and he felt that he didn't bring thorns on the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands.

According to Zhao Rang, even if these pirates are not from the hanging island, they must have colluded with each other.

With these shameless things on the hanging island, he not only used overseas specialties to earn enough gold and silver in the inland, but also got a group of pirates to do some business.

There's really no conscience left!

After losing your conscience, you can really earn more!

"But I remember that the pirates and bandits were not completely cleared by our great power? It's not so rampant now, is it? ”

Zhao Rang shook his head, noncommittal.

The reason for this is not clear to him.

But he knew very well that pirates and sailors could not be cleared.

At that time, it was able to do it because the Great Power Country was rich and strong, and the Longfan Society was too rampant, and even invaded the inland rivers, colluded with the water bandits, and robbed the military salaries and silver in the southern border, which made the imperial court make up its mind to clear the money.

The inland bandits were originally a group of rabble, and when they saw the imperial army, they scattered as birds and beasts, hid their swords and guns, and became good citizens again.

The Longfan Club was also defeated in one fell swoop after being informed by the Dawei Overseas Hanging Island because it touched the capital of Dawei.

This kind of existence is used in this way.

In the world, the white and the black have never been able to walk together.

When the white way needs to use you, you are the good way. When it runs out, there is only one dead end left.

Of course, the overseas hanging islands will not completely tear their faces with Dawei for a group of pirates.

What's more, they have always denied that they and Long Fan will have any collusion.

As a last resort, Long Fan Hui finally put down the butcher's knife, took the gold and silver looted for so many years, turned it into pieces, and sneaked inland along the Taishang River, taking root along the coast of the Southland, and has been doing so for decades. They used the treasure they had accumulated during their raids to buy many industries. It has become one of the few major chambers of commerce in the south.

After the division and rule of the north and the south of Dawei, Long Fan will not know what means to use, and the rebellion that lived in the south was sealed, and he was sealed as a "dragon merit", which made it more prosperous, and faintly became the first chamber of commerce in the south.

"But...... Brother Jean, since Long Fan will be a force in the south, and now he is a businessman, isn't it normal to do some business? ”

This trip to the Western Regions made Ximen Dazhuang grow a lot.

In the past, although he liked to listen to such things, the whole picture was lively, and it was over after listening, and he couldn't remember a word. Maybe I'll ask again every few days, because he's forgotten it all yet. Listen to it again, and it's a new buzz.

"Well, if it's really business, it's fine. But have you forgotten the Admiralty dart game? ”

Ximen Dazhuang slapped his head, feeling that what he had just thought was simple.

The Admiralty Dart Bureau is a famous and decent family with a surname on the rivers and lakes, and they will still collude with the Western Regions for profit, secretly make arrows, and sell them. That Long Fanhui, a force with an unscrupulous heart, marched into the north with such fanfare, which is indeed a suspicious thing.

"It would be nice if they were really fanfare, but if they want to launch a Nujiang Gang to be a pawn, it makes even more sense!"

It is understandable that newcomers often have to find someone who is familiar with the local area to work with. After all, they belong to the same place, they know the rules, they are easy to speak, and they will not touch the taboos.

The Simon family's scattered business in the Southland followed the same approach.

But with the power of the Dragon Fan Society, it is impossible to cooperate with a small gang like the Nujiang Gang, which is not in the flow of Suluo City at all.

If they really want to make money, they can come and sit down with Simon's family openly and honestly.

Let's ask the entire northern territory of Dawei, who is more familiar with the business field than the Simon family?

"And Jiang Lang's little miscellaneous hair also opened a ready-to-wear shop? Maybe it's also a ghost that Long Fan will do behind his back. ”

Zhao Rang was silent.

A ready-to-wear shop and the purchase of Ivy Garden alone mean nothing. Even if everyone can see the weirdness, it can't stop people from buying and selling normally.

After the division of Dawei, the northern court relaxed restrictions on many industries to encourage commerce. Especially for the chamber of commerce from the south, the treatment is even more generous.

But only if it passes the review of the Investigation Division!

"By the way, we can go to the Investigation Division and ask."

Zhao Rang said suddenly.

Before Yuan Mingkong left, he gave him a waist card, telling him that he could go to the Investigation Division in Suluo City if he had something, and asked them to bring him a message.

The commander of the Investigation Division Shadow Guard in Suluo City is a person from the Yunmingkong Prince's Mansion.

For so many years, although he, the seventh prince, had a dismal business, he still made a good move after all.

"Investigation Division's place, I guess I won't tell us if I know it."

Simon Dazhuang said.

Zhao Rang nodded, he also knew this.

Even if there is a relationship with Yuan Mingkong, I don't want them to know, and the Investigation Division will not say a word more.

"Wouldn't it be better if they knew and were prepared? In case they don't know, let's give them a wake-up call! ”

As soon as Zhao Rang's voice fell, the sound of wood in the bookstore fell on the table at the same time, and the sound of "pop" was crisp!

This is the end of the last storytelling tonight.

The two came in later, but they kept talking, and they didn't even know what stories were being told on stage.

Today's storyteller is an old gentleman, who looks very stylish.

After packing up the things, there are two little apprentices waiting.

The old storyteller glanced at Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang lightly.

The two of them sat in the best position and ordered the most expensive tea, but they came to chat! Neither applauded nor applauded, which made the old storyteller feel very shameless. 1
