Chapter 31: The Zhang Family's Business

Ding Yu frowned slightly, but still did not make a sound; Zhang Baizhao's head was lowered, as if he had already expected it; only Zhang Changfeng, the son of Zhang Million, writhed and screamed in panic, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked, and at best he could only make a "whine" sound.

Bao Changfeng couldn't see it, shook his hand and shot a gravel on Zhang Changfeng's lower abdomen, and with a tom sound, the stone the size of a peach pit actually knocked Zhang Changfeng's whole person flat and slid out more than a foot away, his waist and abdomen were bent like tom shrimp, and a pair of nostrils kept expanding and inhaling, and there was no more strength to shout.

Bao Changfeng said disdainfully: "That kid, I have the same surname as your fourth master, give me some stability, don't embarrass your fourth master." ”

Next, he saw that there was no one to say anything, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Everyone, people live for a lifetime, it is not easy to live to understand, but it is not difficult to die to understand, as long as you die at the hands of my fourth child." I Bao Lao Si is the most upright person, and before I kill someone, I will always explain the cause and effect, and try not to let you be confused.

Now there are four people who are going to die here: Duan Suke, Duan Gongzi, Zhang Baizhao, Zhang Lao'er, Zhang Million's son Zhang Changfeng, and Zhang Million's favorite concubine, Dong Yumei. A few of them are also my fourth listeners today, please rest assured, I will definitely explain your way to death clearly. But I warn you, in this process, there are questions to ask, I know everything, there is no end to words, but don't ask for mercy or trouble, otherwise you won't even be able to understand the ghost.

Well, gossip Hugh mentions, first from ...... Here you go!"

His fingers roamed around the four of them for a while, and finally pointed at Zhang Baizhao.

He ignored Zhang Baizhao's blue and pale complexion, and just took care of himself:

"If you want to talk about this Mr. Zhang Er, you have to start with my Murong clan first.

In today's world, there is a great hero, Murong Qi's surname, Longcheng's name, and it is also the lord of the fourth child. I, the lord of the civil service, Tao Wuluo, has no right in the world, and has the courage to swallow mountains and rivers, which is really heartbreaking. Speaking of this hero, the ancestor was originally the Emperor of Dayan, and now although the Dayan Dynasty has disappeared, my lord has never forgotten the glory of his ancestors one day, and intends to reorganize the mountains and rivers and continue the glory of Dayan.

There is a way that the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the plan to restore the country, if there is no gold and silver sea to support in the rear, it will be just empty talk after all. Under the command of the lord, there are not only martial artists like me, but also businessmen such as the Zhang brothers to prepare military funds.

Everyone, don't look at the rich side of the Zhang family in western Sichuan, more than ten years ago, when they did not take refuge in my father-in-law, they were just a small broken caravan, guarding more than a dozen pack horses, going back and forth to the Song-Tibet border, making a few hard-earned money. ”

Bao Changfeng said this, and asked Zhang Baizhao: "Zhang Er, am I right?"

Zhang Baizhao bowed his head and did not say a word.

Bao Changfeng nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "My lord is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix among people, not only is he well versed in the way of kings, but he can also handle business affairs at his fingertips. In his early years, he succumbed to Zhou Shizong and got acquainted with many Zhou Dynasty generals. After Zhao Kuangyin's black servant usurped Zhou, those generals became the courtiers of the Song Dynasty. Relying on the old relationship, my lord opened the joints of the Song-Tibet border pass, and persuaded the generals guarding the border pass to do business with him - to sell the arms of the Song Dynasty to Tibet.

Everyone doesn't know that there are many large and small lords in Tibet, and there are civil wars from time to time. However, the way of iron smelting in Tibet was far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty, and there was a great shortage of swords, guns, and armor pages, so the armaments of the Song Dynasty could be sold at a price more than ten times higher in Tibet. And those border generals, they don't need a penny, they only need to falsely report the loss, and they can exchange for countless gold and silver, which is really useless!

However, this kind of thing naturally cannot be done by my father-in-law in person, and those border generals do not dare to come forward. So my father-in-law handed over this task to the caravan of the Zhang brothers.

For each transaction, they first rushed to the border pass with dozens of truckloads of sand, firewood and grass disguised as goods, and the border generals used the excuse to inspect the goods, move the fake goods into the warehouse, and then drop the ordnance and the fake goods, move them back to the convoy, and release the caravan, and the Zhangjia caravan entered Tubo with the Great Song Dynasty ordnance and sold it to the Tubo lord in exchange for gold and silver.

Among the many Tibetan lords, the most generous is the head of the Arrow Furnace City, Da Xi, in his territory in addition to the tea and horse trade routes, there are several gold and silver deposits, can be called the richest place in Tubo, is that he perennially at 20 times the price of the purchase of the Great Song Dynasty ordnance.

Under such huge profits, although my Murong clan has accumulated a lot of capital to restore the country, those border generals and the Zhang family brothers are also amazingly profitable, because the Zhang family has changed from a small caravan to a wealthy merchant in Shu in just over ten years. Zhang Lao Er, my Murong clan is not unkind to your Zhang family!"

Zhang Baizhao trembled, he was really speechless,

Bao Changfeng sighed: "But your two brothers, in the early years, they were quite diligent and respectful, but after being rich and wealthy in the past few years, they have become more and more greedy and slack, and have repeatedly made their own moves in transactions, do you really think that no one can see it?"

Zhang Baizhao was sweating profusely, kowtowed vigorously, and said: "It's the villain who deserves to die! He shouldn't be greedy and let down Lord Murong's cultivation! The villain is willing to repay the swallowed silver twice!"

Bao Changfeng sneered: "If you are just greedy, my family will not be too embarrassed for the sake of your many years of service, but the most intolerable thing is the slackness and incompetence of your two brothers! Especially your waste brother, in recent years, the concubine has married room after room, but the business business has become more and more negligent, and the martial arts are even lower day by day, if not, how can he leak this deed of robbing the family and exterminating the clan, and invite the disaster of killing himself!"

Zhang Baizhao, as the veteran of a million-dollar trading house, can be exquisitely displayed among the generals of the border passes of the Song Dynasty, the lords of Tubo, and the headmen, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves, he is by no means a stupid person. These days, he has realized that someone in his family must know about the ordnance sales business behind the Million Dollar Trading House, and combined with what Bao Changfeng said before, his eyes couldn't help but drift to Zhang Changfeng and Dong Yumei who were lying on their sides.

Bao Changfeng's next move confirmed Zhang Baizhao's conjecture. He took two steps, bent down and grabbed Dong Yumei's hair, regardless of her writhing struggles, he lifted her up in front of Zhang Million, and said, "This is your eldest brother Zhang Million's newly married concubine this year, Dong Yumei." Then he tore off the sackcloth in Dong Yumei's mouth and said coldly: "Miss Dong, tell your second uncle, how did you learn the secret of the Million Dollar Trading Company." ”

At this time, Ding Yu saw the appearance of this woman clearly, only to see that she was less than twenty years old, petite, but concave and convex, delicate and beautiful, even at this time, she still retained the charm that men could not ignore.

Dong Yumei turned half of her waist intentionally or unintentionally, her towering chest tightened the soft silk clothes, she looked at Bao Changfeng with tears, and said like a cry: "Mr. Bao Si Mingjian, the concubine is just one of the concubines in Master Zhang's room, and her status is limited to that of a maidservant. ”

Speaking of the words "serving the husband", she seemed to be twisted by Bao Changfeng, and couldn't help but tremble softly, and when her body writhed, she brushed Bao Changfeng's lower body like nothing, and with her complaining eyes, even Bao Changfeng couldn't help but change his expression and retract most of his strength.

She was secretly happy in her heart, but the tears in her eyes were a little thicker, and she said in a lamented voice: "What is the secret of the Zhang Mansion, and where will she tell me such an ignorant female flow - the concubine knows nothing about the facts of the Zhang family, and hopes that Mr. Bao Si will have mercy!"
