In Luofu, in the main hall, countless women in green-sleeved robes flew like butterflies, sending plates of delicacies to the tables.

On the main seat in the south, Luo Yinghao sat upright, with his wife sitting on his left hand and Luo Fu sitting on his right. Below the main seat, Ning Caichen, as the protagonist who was invited, sat in the lower left position, opposite him was a member of the Luo family.

Behind the two lower tables were two rows of long wooden tables, filled with members of the Luo family. At this time, most of the people were talking to each other, whispering to each other, and their eyes kept wandering around Ning Caichen.

"Miss Cousin has arrived. With a crisp sound of jade clashing, a woman wearing a strong suit with a delicate face stepped into the sword, looked around at everyone, bowed to Luo Yinghao and said, "Ni Shang greets uncle." ”

Luo Yinghao was puzzled: "Why did you come here at this time period, there is something at home?"

"It's okay at home, but my niece admires the demeanor of the white-robed judge, and when she heard that this banquet was for him, she didn't tell me, and hoped that her uncle would atone for his sins. Luo Nishang smiled slightly, and looked at Ning Caichen with a deep gaze.

"Now that you're here, let's sit down first. Luo Yinghao was silent for a moment, and then added another table to the hands of the people in power on the right.

At the beginning of the banquet, Luo Yinghao solemnly introduced Ning Caichen to the Ning clan, and vaguely revealed that he wanted to support the newborn Ning family, carry out business cooperation, and form a good family.

"I heard that the Ning family has just been established, and now it's going to get involved in business?" Before the Luo family could vote, Luo Nishang said in surprise: "If you really cooperate, what should be the cooperation method? The Luo family contributes wealth, and the Ning family contributes?

After the words, the hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard. The strange gazes of the Luo clan wandered over her and Ning Caichen, secretly wondering if there was any holiday between the two of them.

Luo Yinghao frowned slightly, and there was a trace of displeasure in his heart. looked up at Ning Caichen, but found that his face was waveless and did not show any expression.

"Don't talk nonsense, this cooperation is good for the future of both companies. Luo Yinghao said.

The surprise in Luo Nisheng's eyes was even greater: "It's good for both families, what benefits can the Luo family receive from here?" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the first person in the lower right position: "Uncle, can you explain it to me?"

Luo Yingyun's eyes flickered, and he knew that this niece was using herself as a knife now. It's just that he himself is dissatisfied with this kind of cooperation that is close to losing money, and he doesn't mind being used at this time: "Forgive me for being stupid, I can't see the benefits here, but what the head of the family said is always right." ”

Luo Yinghao scolded secretly in his heart, and said: "With our family, do we still need to see some monetary interests? The Ning family has Caichen, and it is only a matter of time before they soar into the sky, instead of icing on the cake at that time, why not send charcoal in the snow now?"

Luo Nishang smiled meaningfully: "If you want to revitalize a family, how easy is it? My Luo family has been developing for three hundred years, and the Ning family has ......."

"That's enough, cousin. Luo Fu's eyes were cold, he looked at her and said, "You came here this time specifically to make trouble, right?

Luo Nishang paused for a moment, and her smile remained unchanged: "You think too much, I said this for the benefit of the family." ”

Luo Fu sneered, noncommittal about it, but his heart was crooked.

"Is anyone willing to cooperate with the Ning family?" Luo Yinghao remained silent, crossed Luo Nisheng, and looked at the clansmen.

There was silence below, and no one liked to make a loss-making deal. Unless forced by the head of the house, no one will take the lead.

Luo Yinghao's eyes were slightly cold, and he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will not persecute you." The cooperation with the Ning family will be carried out by our family of three, but correspondingly, if there is any benefit in the future, you will not get any profit. ”

The banquet broke up unhappily, and when Luo Nishang was leaving, she glanced at Ning Caichen, who had a calm face, and felt a little chill in her heart.

From beginning to end, he just watched her perform, destroying the cooperation reached by instinct, and his face didn't even change...... No, that gaze was clearly mockery. But why did he mock himself? Without Luo's strong support, would the Ning clan be able to gain a foothold in Jinhua?

Luo Nishang couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but feel bitter for a while, and her impression of Ning Caichen was a little worse. Secretly Dong Chuan has a grudge against him, which is really understandable.

When only the three members of the Luo family and Ning Caichen were left in the main hall, Luo Yinghao paused and said, "I can force them to cooperate with the Ning clan, but this is not a good thing for the nascent Ning clan." ”

"I understand. It's a pity that I don't distill high spirits, and I don't do all kinds of manufacturing. Ning Caichen's eyes were shining, and there was no pity on his face: "The Ning family should have a spirit of self-improvement and tenacious growth in the cracks of mountains and rocks." ”

Luo Yinghao nodded and said, "I can give you 100,000 taels of silver, which is counted as cooperation and investment." No matter what you do with this money, what industry you are engaged in, when you really make money, I want 40% of the shares. ”

"There's really pie in the sky. Ning Caichen laughed heartily and said, "Since my uncle dares to give, if I don't dare to accept it, it will look petty." I accepted the 100,000 taels of silver, and it will definitely roll over a hundredfold or a thousand times in the future. ”

Luo Yinghao's eyes were surprised: "Where did you get your confidence?"

"Because I'm a student in the history department of Northern University!" Ning Caichen squinted his eyes and smiled.

The three of Luo looked confused, and Luo Fu touched Ning Caichen's forehead: "Brother, are you okay, why did you suddenly talk nonsense?"

Ning Caichen slapped his hand down and said with a smile: "As long as you believe in me, even if you don't know how to make glass, perfume, or high wine, I can stand on the shoulders of many people and accumulate wealth." ”

"What are you going to do?" Luo Yinghao knew that he was from the rivers and lakes, and his vision and experience were completely different from his own, and it was understandable to say some mysterious words, so he asked curiously.

"First, set up a horse gang, and go back and forth to traffic miscellaneous department stores in Jinhua Mansion City and eight major counties and eleven small counties, as long as I find a hard-working and stewardly clansman, and then the adults will help me dredge the local government, and with the name of my five-grade official, I will be able to return to profit in March and May, and become one of the cornucopia of my Ning family. ”

Regarding the formation of the horse gang, it was not Ning Caichen who came up with it himself, but copied the path of Wang Chi, one of the famous giant merchants in the late Qing Dynasty, the red-top businessman. Back then, Wang Chi killed people and fled, from useless to the final rich country, and took the road of this caravan business.

Now that there is the Luo family to help him, and the title of Wupin Yanguan is guaranteed, it is not difficult to set up this cornucopia.

"Second, operate a chain of medical clinics, buy and sell traditional Chinese medicine spiritual grass, and prepare for the silk tea business. When the wealth is accumulated, the Ning family can be set up, which is the second cornucopia of the Ning family. Of course, if you want to complete it, you need the help of your uncle's family. In this era, without the support of high-ranking officials, business will be extremely difficult.

Third, now the cotton textile industry has been promoted to the north and south of the river, Jinhua cotton, can establish a cotton textile raw material supply base, establish a textile factory, hire female workers to carry out institutionalized garment making, and create a clothing brand industrial chain in the Ming Dynasty. The so-called upward and downward effect, when all the big and small officials in Jinhua wear the clothes made by my family, the market will be completely opened.

With these three cornucopias, the Ning family was able to gather a large amount of capital in a short period of time and became the richest man in Jinhua. Ning Caichen said, his eyes flashing with fierceness.

If it was the Taiping period, he might still encounter difficulties from the imperial court, but if his memory is correct, Xu Hongru's uprising is just the beginning, not to mention that Xu is not dead now, and is planning to overthrow this court. It will not be long before the Ming Dynasty will rebel and occupy Chongqing, An Bangyan will rebel and occupy Guiyang, and the Qing invasions will continue, and the Mongols will often plunder.

The earthquakes in Yuncheng and Juye in Shandong, the earthquake in Shaanxi, and the continuous disasters and chaos in various places.

That's it, not counting the huge turmoil in the court, countless careerists stepped on the rolling heads to ascend to the throne, and the whole world was in a miasma.

In the second year of the apocalypse, the turmoil not only did not end, but intensified. Even if the time in the two spaces is not equal and the events are not exactly the same, what should come will always come. The high-ranking officials and nobles in the court have no time to care about his five products and participate in business......
