Chapter 64 Zhao Liben's Heart - Everyone knows it
Shen Tingyang and the men of the Shachuan Gang shed the last drop of blood for Daming, and they are magnificent through the ages!
But Zhao Hao's mission is to prevent them from being martyred.
A good man, when the eagle strikes thousands of miles, crisscrossing the seas, he will make immortal achievements! How can you die in vain under the butcher's knife?
The upcoming shipping of grain is the .asxs. that will change all that.
This time, Zhao Hao will not fake others, and there is no room for mistakes!
So Zhao Hao came to Suzhou, so he sent Jin Xuezeng to Chongming. So he did everything possible to recruit the veterans of the Qi family's army, so he generously used his shares to win over the wealthy families in Jiangnan.
Everything is for the sake of success to the sea!
Without the support of interests from overseas, the reform of the disease-ridden Ming Dynasty is a cruel zero-sum game.
~~
Zhao Hao chatted with his disciples for a whole night, and the next day he refused the enthusiasm of the second king and left Taicang.
Daddy is still waiting for his life-saving food......
Before parting, Wang Mengxiang told him that he had ordered the stewards to raise food with all their might.
Although Taicang is known as the Golden Taicang, it is the granary of the entire Suzhou. But when this green and yellow are not harvested, except for those who are kept for their own use, they really can't get so much food at once.
Zhao Hao relieved the pressure on the two kings, so that they could send as many as they wanted, as long as they could help Kunshan survive the spring famine, and the remaining grain would be in place after the summer harvest.
Of course, summer grain can't come at the price of two taels of silver and one stone......
Wang Mengxiang and Wang Shimao breathed a sigh of relief, patted their chests and told him that they would definitely do their best to raise food.
"It's a big deal to take the silver directly to Huguang to buy it, is it possible that the Dongting Chamber of Commerce will also embargo Taicang?" Wang Mengxiang is arrogant, doesn't he just feed the victims in half of the county, he really doesn't have much to do.
"Then they have to block the Yangtze River shipping first." Wang Shimao also laughed and sneered.
"They can't do it." Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, Cao Jiang Yushi is dear Uncle Wu.
The three laughed loudly and agreed to reunite in Kunshan another day, so Zhao Hao and Hua Shuyang boarded the passenger ship and waved goodbye to the two kings.
Watching Zhao Hao's boat go away to the river, Wang Shimao took the umbrella and motioned for the people around him to retreat.
"Uncle, when chatting in Yishan Garden last night, Zhao Gongzi seemed to be very interested in the Xiang family and those things in the New Year." Then he whispered to Wang Mengxiang: "Did he guess something?" ”
"It should be." Wang Mengxiang nodded when he heard this, and said with a disapproving smile: "But it's normal, his grandfather has been a Nanjing household servant for so many years, and he also served as a Zhejiang envoy before. I'm afraid I've already figured out all about our things. ”
"Ahh Wang Shimao was taken aback at first, and then smiled with relief: "I said that when he Zhao Gongzi is in his teens, how can he make such a big name, it turns out that there is Zhao Laolang behind his back." ”
With such a limitation, he felt that Zhao Hao put much less pressure on him.
Otherwise, letting a teenager lead the way by the nose will always make people feel frustrated that they are too old to live on a dog.
"Not bad." Wang Mengxiang nodded and laughed softly: "I heard that Mr. Zhao went to Beijing in March, and I am afraid that he personally arranged it at that time. ”
He changed his words again, and said with sincerity and sincerity: "But at such an old age, Xiao Zhao Gongzi can be in charge alone, and he is already unique." ”
"Hmm." Wang Shimao nodded, hey, even if it is limited, it is still very frustrating.
Then he turned back and said:
"Then from my uncle's point of view, what does the Zhao family think?"
"What else can you think?" Wang Mengxiang smiled and said: "Those Huizhou salt merchants in Jiangbei are coveting our Jiangnan Jiu family, not for a day or two. Now that they see that the Lu family has been defeated and the families are in a mess, of course they want to test whether there is a chance to intervene. ”
"Behind Mr. Zhao is a Huizhou salt merchant?" Wang Shimao was taken aback again. Although he reluctantly took over the family business, he never had a heart for it, and relied on Wang Mengxiang's support and a few cousins.
"Of course." Wang Mengxiang smiled faintly and said: "When he was elected as the arbitrator at the Yangzhou Salt Industry Conference last year, the old man felt a little strange. What did the salt merchants like about him? Or is Zhao Shilang pinching their handles? ”
Saying that, he sighed lightly and said: "Now I know that people have seen it, and we want the Zhao family to sit for them in the vacated chair." ”
"These salt flowers, just selling salt is not enough for them to earn?" Wang Shimao was a little envious and jealous: "It's really rare to have this son, everyone can change it." Let's go and serve the iron rice bowl of the chief salt merchant, and they will do this fearful business. ”
Wang Mengxiang looked at him helplessly, and said in his heart that if you go to become a salt merchant, who will our family go with?
There is a Wang family in the nine families in Jiangnan, but it is not Wang Xijue's family, but Wang Shizhen's family.
Wang Mengxiang sticks money and sticks his face, he has to become a family with Wang Shizhen's family, isn't the picture just in that position, putting down half of his buttocks?
In fact, the share given to the Wang family over the years has made the Wang family of Zhouqiao unknowingly account for seventy percent. But they gave too much, and the Wang family of the archway was not easy to say.
"So what are we going to do about it?" Wang Shimao asked softly.
"It is said that among the nine families, it is also a good thing to have one more family of their own." Wang Mengxiang smiled faintly and said: "But before that, they have to prove themselves first, and they are qualified to sit in that seat." ”
Wang Mengxiang watched the turbid river roll eastward and merge into the surging Yangtze River, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Besides, this matter is not something we can say." ”
If you want to sit in the seat of the Nine Families, it is difficult to climb to the sky. His family has not yet entered the game, so he can only follow Wang Shizhen's family.
If Wang Shizhen's family regains their strength one day, maybe they won't want to take them to play.
"Yes." Wang Shimao nodded in agreement and said: "You have to nod all the eight families, they have a mortal enmity with the Xu family, I'm afraid they won't be able to enter this door no matter what." ”
"That's not our business." Wang Mengxiang smiled and said: "However, the three ancestors and grandsons are all ruthless characters, and they will definitely make waves." ”
"Next time Xiao Zhao Gongzi talks about this matter again, you might as well talk to him a little deeper." Saying that, he told Wang Shimao: "We don't need to be evildoers in vain, it is still necessary to maintain a good relationship with the Zhao family." ”
"Got it, I'll take the initiative to talk to him next time." Wang Shimao nodded.
"Don't worry, wait for them to take the initiative to speak." Wang Mengxiang shook his head and smiled: "The Zhao family has not even taken root in Jiangnan, and if you want to seek maritime trade, you have to practice at least ten years of internal skills." ”
"Hmm." Wang Shimao nodded and did not speak again.
Wang Shimao was also born in the two rankings, but because his father was executed, he went home without being awarded an official, so he lacked the necessary experience.
But over the years, the family has experienced so many great sorrows and sorrows, catastrophes, and catastrophes, and the speculation of people's minds is actually not as unbearable as it appears.
He's just used to hiding it.
He could already see that Wang Mengxiang was a little selfish - the vacant seat, I am afraid that the Wang family of Zhouqiao is also targeting.
Squeezed into someone else's chair, how can you sit alone?
It's just that I don't have that strength at the moment.
That's why Wang Mengxiang wants to put it off and wait for his eldest son to come out in officialdom in a few years.
Human nature is understandable.
ps. Chapter 3, it's gone today.
