Chapter 22: The Danger of Success (1)
In the following days, Shen Zhuxuan accompanied Ding Cheng to study during the day, and after Ding Cheng rested at night, he thought about how to integrate the "Huifeng Sword Technique" with the "Liuyun Sword Technique". In addition, his martial arts can't let others see that he is from Ewha Villa.
After thinking about it for half a month, I gradually made some achievements, and the martial arts moves have been changed to be plausible, and in the past few days, I don't see the shadow of the "Huifeng Sword Technique" and the "Liuyun Sword Technique", but the power is not as good as these two sword techniques. As a result, Shen Guhong was naturally extremely depressed.
"No, if it goes on like this, with my humble efforts, when and when will I be able to go to the ghost-faced Yama to take revenge?" When he was close to Chou, the Ding Mansion had already rested, and there was only Shen Guhong in the courtyard. At this time, it was late July, and the moon had only risen to the middle of the sky at this time, and the silver glow was pouring down, and the sky and the earth were hazy, and occasionally one or two crickets were heard from the ground, which made Shen Guhong even more upset.
After thinking for a long time, he stood up and walked in the courtyard for a long time, when a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Shen Zhuxuan, Shen Zhuxuan, you are really arrogant." The 'Huifeng Sword Technique' and the 'Liuyun Sword Technique' were created by my father and uncle after more than 20 years of research. Your skills are not as good as theirs now, and your knowledge is needless to say, and you are arrogant, and you should really not be able to use the hard work of your uncle and father to abuse it. Although martial arts are founded by people, how can a baby who has not even learned to crawl be able to run if he wants to learn to run?"
Such an idea was born, and Shen Guhong finally gave up the idea of combining the "Huifeng Sword Technique" and the "Liuyun Sword Technique" and creating his own sword technique. At the moment, he continued to practice honestly, thinking that those thoughts and changes in the past half a month were useless, but at this time, he was surprised to find that the places that he didn't understand in these two swordsmanship, or the places that went astray, were all in his heart at this time.
Improving the mistakes in the past, in-depth understanding of unknown sword moves, three days of kung fu passed, Shen Guhong's martial arts really improved by leaps and bounds, and he was really happy at the moment.
Martial arts, pay attention to gradual progress, Shen Guhong these days, because he is anxious to take revenge, always wants to practice martial arts to the peak of the realm in a few days, but there is no progress. Thinking about these days, but it made him pause, and slowly calmed down that impetuous heart, and the achievements he achieved were unexpected, how did he not like it?
In fact, he also knew that his martial arts would make a breakthrough, not only related to his own thinking, but also to the words of the sages he read in Ding Cheng's study. At the moment he thought, "The writings of the sages are not all correct, but they are not lacking in truth, and it seems that if I have time in the future, I will need to read as many books as my father and uncle did." ”
After achieving martial arts, Shen Guhong suddenly lost his sleepiness and continued to practice martial arts in the courtyard until the sky broke and the sun rose from the clouds, then he collected his skills and went into the house to prepare everything for Ding Cheng.
After more than two months of scholarly life, his previous views have changed, and he has his own understanding of his subordinates or masters.
Since Ding Yuechuan inherited the ancestral business, under his management, the Ding family's industry has gradually expanded, and the business has been done all over the country, he is not only the first good man in the Daimyo's mansion, but also the richest man in the daimyo's mansion. It's just that business is like a battlefield, and no one can truly win forever, and no one can maintain their position for a long time. Recently, the Ding family has ushered in Mo * annoyance, if it is not solved well, I am afraid that the entire Ding family may be destroyed.
Above the lobby, Ding Yue and Ding Yi were present, and several important shopkeepers of the Ding Mansion were also there. The Ding family's business is big, involving money, satin cloth, rice grain, etc., which is mainly due to Ding Yue. The main business of the Ding family is still based on silk and satin cloth, and this business is done by dignitaries, in addition, because the Ding family's cloth and satin are of good quality, color and other aspects are in the forefront, they are also one of the several major cloth merchants in the palace. Ding Yue was reluctant to do the business of this palace, because as long as there was a small difference, it would be a capital crime. But I had to do it, because not doing it would still be a disobedience to the holy decree and a capital crime. Now what went wrong was the silk that paid tribute to the palace.
The Ding family now has a total of three big shopkeepers under their names, one is the shopkeeper of Lu Fang in the rice and grain industry, the other is the shopkeeper of Zhao Yuan who is in charge of the money village, and the other is naturally the shopkeeper Wu Dahai who is in charge of the cloth, and the rest of the shopkeepers, there are also a few present at this time, but the most important Wu Dahai is not there, and the deputy shopkeeper Wei Dong is here.
"Are you saying that the 300,000 taels of brocade were robbed? Wu Dahai was seriously injured and unconscious?" Ding Yue's face was a little ugly, and at the same time extremely anxious, 300,000 taels was not a large amount for him, but what he lost was the royal brocade of the palace, if he couldn't hand over the brocade on time, then the entire Ding Mansion would probably be finished.
Wei Dong also had several wounds on his body at this time, and the one on his forehead was still bloody. He said: "The master of the family, I waited for the cloth to go out of the Daimyo's mansion, and I encountered a group of robbers within five miles, and several brothers died, and I also escaped under the desperate protection of several brothers!"
When Ding Yue heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said, "In this way, there is no brother to protect Wu Dahai, so he was seriously injured?"
Wei Dong said: "The head of the family, Mingjian, the brothers who protect the shopkeeper Wu are all dead!"
"The head of the family, such a major matter as the loss of tribute, I think it should be reported to the official first!" said Lu Fang, the shopkeeper of the rice grain store.
Zhao Yuan said: "If you report to the official, the news of Ding's loss of the imperial cloth will spread all over the world, and then you will not only have to face the blows of your peers, but also face the government's questioning, so let's really be finished!"
Lu Fang said: "The relationship between the head of the family and the prefect is not bad, if we tell him in private, don't publicize it, and let the government follow to investigate, wouldn't it be better?"
Ding Yue said lightly: "Do you think the prefect will really help us at this time? Vanity Fair is ruthless, although my Ding Mansion has not honored him less over the years, but I dare to guarantee that at this time, he will definitely fall into the ground." If he reports to the official, not only will he not send someone to investigate, but he will also directly ask us for the crime!"
When everyone heard this, they all shuddered. Ding Yue looked at everyone and said: "Over the years, the Ding Mansion has been built by us together, not to mention others, it is our responsibility to jointly protect the Ding Mansion. It is my Ding who once again advises you that at this critical juncture, we must unite and get through this difficult time together. ”
"Please instruct the head of the family, we will naturally live and die with the Ding Mansion!" Zhao Yuan was the first to express his position, as Ding Yue said, now they are both prosperous and humiliated.
Everyone else expressed their loyalty one by one at this time, and Ding Yue looked at Wei Dong at this time and said: "Now that Wu Dahai is unconscious, you are fully responsible for the affairs of Buzhuang!"
"Please tell the head of the family what Wei Dong should do!" Wei Dong stood up and bowed to Ding Yue.
"We have two things to do at the moment!" Ding Yue said as he looked at a few people.
Everyone looked at Ding Yue at this time, waiting for Ding Yue's next step. Ding Yue saw everyone's expressions, and he was quite satisfied. He just liked this feeling of strategizing, so he continued: "The first thing, that is, to send someone to check the lost cloth, and the other thing is to let the cloth village rush to work, now there are about twenty days left, Weidong, if you are rushing to work day and night, can you do it in half a month?"
When Wei Dong heard this, he was immediately puzzled: "These are all tributes, not ordinary cloth, and the quantity is not small, let alone half a month, even if it is given a month, it can't be done!"
Ding Yue said: "No matter what, you must work overtime, especially in terms of dyeing, you must not be sloppy!"
When Wei Dong heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "I'll arrange it, and then we can start work!"
Ding Yue looked at Lu Fang and Zhao Yuan again, and said, "Don't panic, just do what you need to do, and as for the investigation of the cloth, leave it to Ding Yi to do!"
Nowadays, although rice and money are not as good as cloth villages, they are the two of the three pillar industries of Dingfu today, and naturally they cannot be abolished at this time. Then Ding Yue ordered many things before the shopkeepers left.
Zhao Yuan and Lu Fang walked together, and at this moment, Lu Fang said: "Old Zhao, have you heard that there are no bandits near the Daimyo Mansion? Why is our Ding Mansion so bad luck this time!"
Zhao Yuan said: "I've heard of this. ”
Lu Fang nodded: "That's weird, I haven't heard of it either!"
Zhao Yuandao: "It seems that this time the matter is a little strange, but no matter what, with the head of the family, there will be no accident in our Ding Mansion!"
Above the lobby, only Ding Yue and Ding Yi were left. Ding Yi said: "Doesn't my father think this is quite strange?"
Ding Yue said: "That's why I want you to check!"
Ding Yi said: "It stands to reason that the tribute should be escorted by the government, but over the years, we have all sent it to Bianjing by ourselves, will this be ······?"
Ding Yue said lightly: "If we have a problem, the government is also responsible, if the prefect is not stupid, he will naturally not do this kind of self-digging grave." ”
"In this way, the only person who hates us the most in this famous mansion is the Zhang family!" Ding Yi said.
"Tell me what you think!" Ding Yue said.
Ding Yi said: "Once the Ding family was the richest man in this famous mansion, they operated the two major industries of money and rice grain, after my father inherited the family business, I couldn't help but develop the cloth village, and in addition to the two major industries of rice and grain, money and money also made the Ding family the richest man in the famous mansion in one fell swoop, which of course will destroy their interests, my father often said that the interests are ruthless, not to mention that we are still competitors? To put it bluntly, we are the enemy!"
Ding Yue nodded and said, "That's right, so that's why I asked you to check!"
Ding Yi said: "In addition, my daughter thinks that Wei Dong also has a problem. ”
