"Rong'er, from today onwards, before evening, you must go home."

Sitting in the carriage, Xu Mengxuan was expressionless, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice.

Terrible!

It's horrible!

Xu Jirong scratched his chin, looked at his grandfather worriedly, and asked cautiously, "Grandpa, why is this?" ”

"Have a baby." Xu Mengxi said: "Go home and give birth." ”

Xu Jirong said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, aren't Qianqian and Huan'er pregnant, the task of giving birth to two children this year, the grandson has completed it ahead of schedule." ”

"Nope."

Xu Mengxi said: "Two is still too little, our Xu family has a single seedling for you, you give birth to two, and the few little babies of the Zhang family give birth to one, but there are many more than us, besides, what if it is a girl, so from next year, you have to give birth to five for the old man a year." ”

"Five?"

Xu Jirong exclaimed, and hurriedly sent his hands to Xu Mengxi, breaking his fingers: "Grandpa, look, this is not right, I am ten months pregnant, and my grandson has only six concubines in total, and two of them are already pregnant, so I can't conceive five next year." ”

"Don't worry, grandpa will help you find a few more, you just have to give birth, the more the better, my Xu family is not short of this money, there is a shortage of people." Xu Mengxi's expression was already a little demented.

"Grandpa."

Xu Jirong wanted to say more, but Xu Mao put one hand on his shoulder and motioned him not to say more.

Xu Mengxi was really stimulated this time, his life was really smooth sailing, he did not encounter any big difficulties in his career, and the family business was getting bigger and bigger, but the problem of this offspring has always bothered him, and he has never broken it, he gave birth to a boy and a girl, the daughter is still unmarried, the daughter-in-law gave birth to Xu Jirong and left, the son was too sad, and soon died of illness, leaving Xu Jirong as the only seedling.

This is really an eternal pain in Xu Mengxi's heart.

However, at this time, he Xu Mengxuan still had the time to consider the issue of this descendant, and the others had no time to care about this matter, and the entire capital was in a sensation.

Even officials of the DPRK and China did not expect that such a big stir would be caused by the shelving of this small policy.

The prices of silk, horses, and timber fell at the same time.

Generally speaking, this silk is a hard currency, unless there is a food crisis, otherwise, it is unlikely that there will be a large-scale price reduction, mainly because there are rumors that the imperial court will strictly enforce the restrictions on the clothing of chariots and horses, and also send brocade guards to arrest violators.

On the same day, many large households changed into cloth clothes, either black, or white, what purple, red, blue, do not dare to wear, this brocade guard is unreasonable, and now the Ming Dynasty household registration is more chaotic, many people do not know whether they can wear satin, what color can not be worn, black and white cloth is the most secure.

These people were originally big customers, and they didn't wear them anymore, so obviously the supply was greater than the demand, and the price of silk would definitely fall, but the price of white cloth would rise.

In fact, this is not the case, the court did not say that it would be strictly investigated, but only said that it would be shelved.

But no officials dared to come out to refute the rumors, because they had just asked the emperor to abide by the ancestral system, and as a result, you said to the outside world that the imperial court would turn a blind eye as always, and Wanli would definitely have to talk to them.

If you dare to love you, you are restricting me alone.

The price of silk fell, many merchants who need to spend a lot of silk and satin have chosen to re-negotiate, resulting in silk in a short period of time, it can not be circulated, are hoarded in the hands of silk merchants and tooth merchants, because the trade is through the tooth merchants, the tooth merchants earn the middle price difference, at this time, they are afraid of hoarding, because the turnover can not make money.

At the same time, there are rumors that Tongzhou is hoarding tens of thousands of horses of silk and satin, and it is about to enter Beijing.

What a year to add insult to injury!

It can be seen that the price of this silk will continue to fall.

But the four major officials headed by Jiang Shiyou, they have no time to worry about silk now, they only spent 5,000 taels there, and the main funds were invested in wood.

"Everyone, don't panic, although Guo Dan moved the racecourse, he still has to build a pasture, which must require wood, I think he did this to keep us down the price."

Xiong Feng calmly analyzed.

Zhao Fengyuan said: "But at present, there is a rumor in the market, and silver is the most reliable at this time, and we don't have much silver in our hands, so we have to quickly exchange the wood for silver." ”

Xiong Feng said: "But once we reduce the price, then Guo Dan will definitely take the opportunity to lower the price, don't forget, we still have to give those timber merchants a sum of money, here and outside, we will lose a lot!" ”

Jiang Shiyou suddenly said: "If you want to sell it at four times the price, I'm afraid it will be difficult, but as long as the price is maintained at about two times, even if you count the silk side, we won't lose money." Find a timber merchant to talk to Guo Dan and test his low price, everyone is nothing more than seeking money, and you can't fight to the death. ”

．

Kou's tooth shop.

"Now the price of silk has dropped from six cents per foot to four quarters and six, which is four cents lower than the original price."

Kou Liansha looked at Guo Dan, who was lying on the secretary's desk and drawing.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning."

Guo smiled lightly.

Kou Zhuisa glanced at him and said, "Then how many falls do you want to wait for before you make a move?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter how much, the important thing is to make them panic and scared." ”

Kou Zhuan said: "But the four official teeth didn't invest much money in silk? ”

Guo Dan said: "I don't mean the four official teeth. ”

Kou Zhuansha was stunned and said, "Then who are you referring to?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Those small tooth merchants who sell silk from Jiangnan. ”

Kou Zhuansha blinked, and looked at Guo Dan in confusion, which one are you singing.

"Knock knock!"

"Uncle, are you in there?"

Kou Yi's voice sounded outside.

Guo Dan said: "What's the matter?" ”

"Uncle, the timber merchant in the half-cut alley seems to be asking to see."

"Jia Yifei?"

Guo Dan raised his eyebrows, straightened up, took out a document from the drawer, flipped through it for a while, took out a document from it, looked at it, and then said, "Ask him to go to the house." ”

Kou Zhuansha hurriedly said: "You guys just talk here, I'll just avoid it." ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "Now there are a lot of things to deal with in Yaxing, and it is not convenient to talk about it here, in case he hears something, it will not be good." Rest assured, the talks will be over soon. ”

With that, he stood up, took the paper, and walked out the back door.

After he left, Kou Zhuansha suddenly glanced at the painting on the table, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but stand up curiously, walked over, looked down, and suddenly fainted on her cheeks, it turned out that the painting was her expression that had just peeked at Guo Dan.

"This man really is."

When Guo Dan came to the lobby of Kou's house, there was a middle-aged man in a white cotton coat, a burly figure, and a slight beard under his chin.

"Jia Yuanwai. Long admiration, long admiration. ”

Guo Dan arched his hand.

"Captain Guo."

Jia Yifei hurriedly arched his hand, facing this junior, his face looked a little timid.

"You may be seated."

"Thank you, thank you."

Jia Qifei sat down.

Guo Dan didn't rush to sit down, and said with a smile: "You were entrusted by Jiang Shiyou and them to come to me to test the reserve price." ”

Jia seemed to be stunned immediately.

You're straight to the point, and you're a little bit more aggressive.

Guo smiled lightly: "You must be very curious, why do I know, I can't hide it, since you sold the timber to the four official teeth, I knew that you would come to me today, you see, I have asked someone to inquire about all the details of you." ”

As he spoke, he handed the information in his hand to Jia Yifei.

Jia seemed to be stunned and took it, staring at it, his eyes full of fear.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Are you an immortal?" ”

"Not really."

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "It's just that I expected that they would target me in advance, all of this is a trap I set, and now the ship of the four major officials is about to sink, do you want to sink with them, or get on my ship." ”

"What did you say?"

Jia looked at Guo Dan in shock.

Guo smiled lightly: "Believe it or not, but if you get on my ship now, at least you can make another profit, I know that they paid a third of the money to you, but the wood is still in your hands, if they suddenly sink due to irresistible factors, then you will be equal to making this money for nothing."

If you come on my ship again, I will buy all your timber, and I will make another profit here. ”

Jia said, "But you don't need so much wood. ”

Guo smiled and said, "Does this matter?" ”

Jia Yifei frowned and said: "This may not be important, but I believe you will not be so kind, what do you want from me?" ”

Guo Danfeng said lightly: "It's very simple, go to the government to sue the four official teeth to resell timber, so that you can rely on this money." ”

Jia seemed to have his pupils shrinking suddenly, only to feel that this young man who looked delicate and weak was like a devil.

Half an hour later.

As soon as Jia seemed to be walking with his front foot, Kou Shouxin entered the lobby through the side door with his back foot, and his face was also mixed with a hint of fear, "Virtuous son-in-law! You, you really want the lives of the four official teeth! ”

This has to be sued to the government, then it is really a matter of life.

Guo Dan's expression froze, he walked over, supported Kou Shouxin, and said aggrievedly: "It's all Kou Yi's fault, Kou Yi asked his son-in-law to do this." ”

Kou Shouxin was surprised: "What does this have to do with the housekeeper?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It's Kou Yi who talks to his son-in-law every day, the four official teeth always bully him, don't treat him as a human being, and can't wait for them to die, before the little son-in-law was drunk outside, it was Kou Yi who sent the little son-in-law back, in order to repay his kindness, so the little son-in-law sent the four official teeth to die this time." ”

Kou Shouxin was stunned for a while, and suddenly his crutches slammed into the ground and said, "Are you old and confused, and you actually use such lies to deceive the old man." ”

Guo Dan smiled: "How dare you, how dare you, the little son-in-law is just joking, hehe." In fact, it is because the four official teeth oppress the merchants, the fish and the common people, and the whole trade is a miasma, and the son-in-law is the way for the business, and if these powers are in the hands of the son-in-law, the son-in-law will definitely be able to make my Daming business to a higher level. ”

"That's right, those four official teeth are not good people." Kou Shouxin nodded, and asked again: "The virtuous son-in-law wants to be an official?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I originally wanted to, but in view of the reputation of the official tooth, the son-in-law has already found the Liu family to go up." ”

"Liuliu's family?"

"Hmm."

Guo smiled lightly: "My father-in-law may not know something, but we now own forty percent of the shares of the Liu family. ”

Smack.

The cane in Kou Shouxin's hand fell to the ground again, and at the same time, he grabbed Guo Dan's arm with one hand and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Guo Dan saw that Kou Shouxin's eyes were straight, his lips trembled, and he was a little afraid: "If my father-in-law doesn't like it, it can be fake." ”

"I like it, I like it so much!" Kou Shouxin suddenly laughed, "Once upon a time, that Liu Zongcheng wanted to annex my Kou family's tooth line, but he never thought that he would be annexed by us today, haha, it's really a cycle of heavenly principles, a cycle of heavenly principles!" Haha – ahem, ahem. ”

"Father-in-law, don't get too excited, hold steady, steady." Guo Dan was half frightened to death, and quickly patted him on the back.

"Don't worry, it's okay, it's okay, if you don't see Old Man Liu again, the old man won't die." Kou Shouxin waved his hand, and after a while, he eased up and asked again: "That's right!" How did the virtuous son-in-law expect that the four major officials would send Jia Feifei to come? ”

Guo Dan sighed: "The son-in-law has the information of those timber merchants, no matter who comes, the son-in-law can take it out, and the son-in-law just wants to bluff him." ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Kou Shouxin stroked his beard and smiled.

The funny thing is that the four official teeth are still thinking about the gains and losses, trying to recover the losses and control the situation, they think that they have no grudges with Guo Dan, and they can't fight to the death, but they didn't expect that Guo Dan wanted their lives and the power in their hands, not that little money.

Cabinet.

"Lord Qiqi Shoufu, a few businessmen from Suzhou and Hangzhou have come to the government to sue Jiang Shiyou, Zhao Fengyuan, Mao Shen, and Xiong Feng for forcibly buying the silk they shipped to the capital at a low price."

"It's really them who are selling silk, these people are really damned." Shen Shixing snorted, and immediately got up and said, "Let's go, take the old man to have a look." ”
