Taipingchun

Zou Wang, who was far away in the city of Nanjing, did not know that Jiangning County had already undergone a moderate uprising, as he expected, or in other words, as he needed.In his view, it is already an old idea to hold the throat of the Jiangning market. This point was already an old wisdom in Yangzhou Prefecture.It was with this hand that the elders in the family held onto Ding You's Shangshu.

And I have learned everything, facing a seventh-rank county magistrate, there is no reason to fail.

Therefore, the focus is all on managing the officialdom in Nanjing.

This is the real arrangement of the Zou family, and Jiang Ning is just a market that he wants to control by the way, and it will become a powerful bargaining chip for himself to become the master in the future.

Zou Wang's slack after setting the rules bought some time for Xu Xiu and others. After he reacted, he quietly discovered that the whole Jiangning was filled with a kind of resentment. It's the big shopkeepers in the city.

The door of the Pingliang House, known as the No. [-] rice store in Jiangning, has always been surrounded by many people. Not only their family, but also the shopkeepers of other shops are also worried. Thank you.

Xu Xiu just sent people to persuade them at the gates of the besieged rice noodle shops, instead of driving them away directly. Although under various pressures, these big shopkeepers did not lose their positions. After all, this was just an expected thing.

The director and Zou Wang said: "Master Dong, the conflict has already been pointed at those big shopkeepers."

Zou Wangqi asked, "Didn't you arrange someone?"

"Yes, Jiangning essays are popular in the market now. These small papers are written about the lives of ordinary people, and there are storytellers explaining them. The spearhead is directed at businessmen, not Jiangning County."

Seeing that there was no movement from Zou Wang, the director said hesitantly, "I'm afraid it won't do much good for Young Master's career."

Zou Wang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, some things can't be solved by just a few tricks."

This is not Zou Wang underestimating the enemy. The director also understands that the resources he owns are too strong. Now he can increase the food as much as he wants. Whoever has such a big confidence and capital will not be able to plan. To change easily and rely on inertia to continue to develop is the main way of thinking of these people.

If you are poor, you will want to change.

Just when they were unprepared for the changes in Jiangning County, Xu Xiu brought all the government servants out with great fanfare.

He has only one direction, and that is a permanent warehouse located in a prosperous part of the city.

It will take some time to wait until the real release of food, but a warning must be given. If these people rein in the precipice, then everything is still negotiable. .

This was the first time that Xu Xiu was fully armed. She wore a full set of Cheng Yi and left the county government office. She was quiet and evasive, and her old horse was also refreshed after being tidied up.Naturally, the onlookers looked at something new, and there was a lot of discussion about what your lord is going to do like this.No one has ever seen him play a full set of Cheng Yi after he came.

Curiosity drove them to follow Xu Xiu's men and horses. When they came to the Changping warehouse, many people actually had some expectations in their hearts. Are you going to open the warehouse to release the grain?

The fact is that Xu Xiu sat on the horse and said loudly: "Where are the civil servants in Changping warehouse!"

It had been arranged a long time ago, and the clerk stepped forward and bowed and said, "I'm here."

"I order you to count all the stored food and make all preparations." As soon as the words fell, Xu Xiu and others went back to the house. One goal has been achieved. As long as the common people see it, it will be easy to say. As for the other goal, let's see Are they really calm.

Everyone was left at a loss, but Chang Pingcang's petty official was not among them. He then hoarse his throat and shouted his voice to the extreme.

"My lord has orders, open the warehouse and take stock!"

Bags of grain weighing two to three hundred catties were taken out of the warehouse and piled up on the open space on the side of the road. As time went by, the entire street near the Changping warehouse was full of these sacks, and the height was not high enough. Low, very shocking people's eyes.

As the clerk cut open a sack with a single knife, white rice poured out and fell on the ground.It caused bursts of exclamation.The purpose is very obvious. Look, Jiangning has a lot of food. It is helpless for adults not to release food. Everyone knows that there was a flood last year. A problem with not being able to move in time.

Although there is only so much stored grain in Changping, the actual effect is still very bluffing.

The shopkeeper of the Pingliang House on the opposite side had been secretly observing the granary since he came here on Xu Xiujing Street. Only after seeing this scene did he remember that if the magistrate of Baili County in Jiangning really used Changping Cang Pingtiao, he and others Isn't it stupid?I couldn't help but murmured in my heart: The Zou family is still such an old god, and Jiangning County is obviously preparing to settle down, what should I do next?

The so-called psychological warfare is naturally not counted without the attention of caring people.

So Xu Xiu needs to make a big splash and tell others, I'm going to make a move, I'm going to make a move, come and pay attention.

This is Xu Xiu's goal to fall into the eyes of those who care about him. From this, it can be seen that his goal has been achieved.

When he went around and took off his pants and farted to Changping warehouse to perform a play, Xu Xiu summoned the top three shopkeepers of the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce.

Wang Yu, Zhou Ping, Ding Liangwen.

These three, apart from the invisible existence like Xu Xiu, they are the top three.According to the proportion of investment, it can be said that the family wealth is exhausted.

The four sat down, and Xu Xiu said: "I know that the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce is also under great financial pressure now, but it's not the time for us to sell things. I need three people to work hard and arrange vehicles. The more the better, the Zou family can buy two things." The gates are continuous, I want the West Gate Wharf, the South Gate Wharf, and at the same time there are continuous convoys entering the city."

Now Wang Chen no longer has any quarrel with the Jinling royal family, nor does he have the idea of ​​muddling along. He works very hard, not only does not look old, but he is more energetic. He only heard him say: "My lord, do you want to pack food?"

Xu Xiu laughed and said, "Of course." Pointing to her head and heart, she said, "If you want to minimize losses and maximize profits, attacking the mind is far more important than attacking the city. good."

Hearing his tone was very relaxed, Zhou Ping also smiled and said: "Your Excellency is still modest and doesn't know how to do business. In my opinion, if you do business, within 30 years, the Zou family will not be able to compare with you."

In fact, this shopkeeper Zhou Ping once expanded his ancestors. Unfortunately, in the Chenghua year, he offended the eunuch Luo of Nanjing Weaving. His family was dilapidated, but he still had vision. Long, I'm not joking. Listening to his politeness at this time, Xu Xiu knows his own family affairs. Maybe he knows a little bit in theory. amateur or amateur

Shaking his head, he said, "That's ridiculous."

Ding Liangwen said: "My lord, shopkeeper Wang, shopkeeper Zhou, let's not talk about the polite words. According to your arrangement, my lord, with so many vehicles, even if we rent all the cars in Jiangning, it is not enough."

The Ding family, the younger generation, is ambitious, capable, and easy to control.This kind of person is actually the easiest to use, and it is exactly what Xu Xiu needs.

Nodding his head, Wang Yan also said in a dilemma: "Yes, in fact, we can't rent a car in the whole city."

Xu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "Rent a part, buy a part, build a part. You can do as much as you can. Although you are not big merchants, don't tell me that you have worked so hard for so many years, and you don't have any friends in the business field? Jiangning is gone, you Wouldn’t you go to other counties? Is there any in Shangyuan County? Wangjia Huguang comes to Liangpu County, should you go to Jiangpu County? Jiangpu County to rent. Then the Lu family can solve part of the problem. The bigger they are, the easier it is to put pressure on them. Unlike us, they are not monolithic. Although the interests of the various hilltops are temporarily unified by Zou Wang, they are not very firm. As long as we show enough strength, even if we know it is It’s fake, but they don’t know it, and it’s also a success.”

In this way, the other three could only nod their heads in agreement.Seeing that they were still hesitant, Xu Xiu said with relief: "Things have come to this point, we have common interests that need to be safeguarded, this county needs Jiangning's stability, and if you want to make money, you are all people who have nowhere to go , don’t go all-in to scare them off, is there any chance?”

Wang Chen expressed his opinion: "It's not that the old man is hesitant, but that the construction of the South Gate and the purchase of food cost too much money."

The other two also said that they couldn't afford that much money for a while.

Xu Xiu thought for a while and said: "In this way, Jiangning County will rent it if it can. For other places, the county will write a note for you. You can go to the big car dealers and ask them to contribute first. When it's over, they will pay in a unified way. Let them solve it, so that the cost can be reduced by reducing the link, at least the quantity will increase, and the price will definitely come down. You are good at these things, and this county doesn’t understand.”

The three of them are all good hands, since he can write a note to endorse as the county magistrate, if this kind of business can't be negotiated, let's take the early exit and leave, don't mess around.

They all expressed their kindness.

Xu Xiu continued: "You go to the big bosses in such a neighboring county, and by the way, promote our South Gate, so that they have a basic understanding."

"good."

"Disperse."

……

In the back room of Pingliang House, there are four well-known grain merchants in Jiangning. They are all from the local Julu family in Jiangning. Naturally, there are many sources of news. At this time, they are exchanging the information they have with each other.

Leaving aside the truth and falsehood for the time being, just such a piece of news gave them an indescribable worry.

The owner of Pingliangwu is surnamed Ma, and he said, "In three days at the latest, Jiangning County will be flattened."

Another rice noodle shop, surnamed Ji, said: "My friend in the business told me that there is a large amount of grain going south from Huguang, but I don't know the exact amount, and it is kept secret. It's not a sailboat, but a thousand material sea boat."

"Are you kidding me? Are they going to sea?" The third owner was surnamed Tang.

There were four people in total, and the last one was surnamed Qian. I heard him say, "It doesn't matter if it's a flat-bottomed sailboat or a thousand-material seagoing boat. If they come to Jiangning, and Jiangning County is going to be flattened, what shall we say?"

Ji Dong's family said: "Ma Dong's family, you and Zou's family are very close, didn't that high-spirited Young Master Dong say what to do?"

Ma Dong's family said in a low voice: "The head of the courtyard came before, and what they said was very clear, how much grain is released from Jiangning County, and how much grain we eat."

Boss Qian smiled and said, "Where's the money?"

Ma Dong's family said: "Naturally, our major grain companies will arrange to buy in first. When the market as big as Jiangning is taken down, there will only be four of our rice and noodle companies in the future. Remember, there are only four of us, and we will earn everything back."

Ji Dong's family sneered, this person is very stingy, at this moment he mocked: "Has he offered anything other than verbal representations? He Zou Wang has entered Jiangning, is our business good or bad?"

"Old Ji, please don't say a few words, otherwise? We boarded the boat of the Zou family. If we don't continue to work, should we let go now? Don't say that Jiangning County can't let us go, and the Zou family won't let us go." Qian Dongjia persuaded.

Ma Dong's family said: "No matter what, what we can do now is to suppress a single grain of food in our hands and not go out, and to eat it in large quantities after Jiangning County is flattened. Don't forget that although we did it secretly in the flood last year, But in Hidden, once we are discovered, Jiangning County will definitely not tolerate us. Instead of trying to please us, we might as well follow the Zou family wholeheartedly. Even if Jiangning County reacts, he will have nothing to do with us."

Ji Dong's family said bluntly: "You, the largest grain merchant in Jiangning, what Jiangning County are you afraid of? Let alone you, even the three of us will not be afraid of him. Which Xinzhi County dares to oppose us?"

Ma Dongjia snorted, "Other magistrates dare not because they are afraid of our ability, but this Jiangning County is a lunatic who wants to be an upright official. It is better not to provoke lunatics."

Qian Dong's family said: "Okay, I don't believe how much food Chang Pingcang can have. Since the Zou family has already given instructions, let's just wait."

Ma Dong's family said: "It's a pity that Jiangning County doesn't discuss things with the pawns now, so I don't know the news."

Tang Dong's family looked on coldly, seeing that they had discussed the matter almost, and he said only one sentence during the whole process: "It's okay, let's go."

Everyone thinks this is the same reason, it depends on how Jiangning County makes moves.
