Chapter 170: Don't Do Evil
Big ship.
After listening to the second king's story, Zhao Hao couldn't help but secretly marvel, but he didn't expect Xu Bangning to get involved.
Wei Guogong is really eccentric, letting the second son hold this piece of the sea in his hand is equivalent to holding the money bag. In the future, even if he fails to win the heir, he will be able to live more comfortably than his eldest brother.
It's just that Xu Bangning's two hundred and five are involved in such a complicated situation, Wei Guogong is not afraid of what kind of basket this kid will poke out?
can only say that the old man has really eaten and seen it, and his heart is big.
"So what's going on now?" He asked.
"It's bad. Last year, it was all a good share, and it was safe. Wang Shimao said depressedly: "Since the first half of this year, sales have almost been cut off, and in the second half of the year, not a single shipment of goods can be delivered." ”
"Childe knows Su Song so well, when he knows about our silk, raw silk, cotton, porcelain, and tea...... About half of them are exported. Now that half of the sales channels are cut off, it is not only the maritime merchants who suffer? Wang Mengxiang also sighed and said:
"Most of the weavers have not opened for half a year, there are countless bankrupts, and hundreds of thousands of weavers have no food and clothing.
"That's right." Zhao Hao nodded, Su Song has a tradition of citizen riots. "So what are you going to do?"
"If Childe is interested, we can work with the Hua family to recommend you to sit on the chair vacated by the Lu family." Wang Mengxiang gritted his teeth and said: "Don't look at the chaos like this now, but many people still want this position." ”
"Everyone is a big family." Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and said, "We're afraid that the Xiuning Zhao family is not enough to see, right?" ”
"Childe doesn't have to be presumptuous." Wang Mengxiang laughed and said: "Nine people don't ask what their background is, in the final analysis, they still speak with strength." Thinking about the Huating Xu family, before Xu Ge Lao, it was just a well-off family with a small family. Isn't it the same to sit and look at one, and now I want to eat a quarter of it? ”
"That is, the grandfather of the virtuous brother is a dignified servant, and his father is the champion of the new department, in terms of background, is it not much better than the Xu family?" Wang Shimao also persuaded: "In fact, aside from everything else, just talking about the identity of the owner of Jiangnan Company is enough for them to welcome with both hands." ”
"Especially now that the situation is in a mess, only a holy hand like Childe can solve it." Wang Mengxiang then boasted: "After the son sits on that chair, we will take the throne with the Hua family, and you will lead us to set things right, and we will definitely be able to create a new world!" ”
"Yes, Brother Xian, in addition to the two of us, the Gu family and the Lu family can also fight for it." Wang Shimao said: "The Gu family in Wuxian County and the Gu family in Kunshan are of the same ancestry, and the Lu family in Changzhou is in the same vein as the Lu family in Pinghu...... They are very resentful of the Xu family, as long as we are patient and persuasive, there is hope to win it over. ”
"Oh? What contradictions do they have? This is Zhao Hao's blind spot.
"Because after the accident of the Lu family in Pinghu, before the imperial court raided the house, all the family property was transferred to Xu Ge's hometown." Wang Shimao explained: "I heard that there are more than 10 million taels of gold and silver alone, and there are countless jewels and jades, which took half a month to ship. ”
"Tsk." Zhao Hao couldn't help but be speechless, these big dogs are richer than the other. Compared to them, this son is a younger brother.
"After hearing the news, the Lu family in Changzhou thought that how could the in-laws have blood relatives? The Pinghu Lu family must have been deceived, so they sent people to Huating several times, wanting the Xu family to hand over their property to them for safekeeping. ”
Wang Shimao laughed and said, "With the Xu family's leech blood-sucking behavior, how can the fat that reaches the mouth be spit out?" After going back and forth, the two sides became angry, scolding each other for being ill-intentioned, greedy for money and forgetting righteousness, and still fighting a war of words. ”
"Interesting." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
"How about it, Childe, are you interested in joining?" The two kings asked in unison.
"......" Zhao Hao pondered for a moment, but slowly shook his head and said, "Forget it." Next is the critical stage of Jiangnan company's layout, and you can't be distracted. ”
"Brother Xian, think about it again, right?" Wang Shimao and Wang Mengxiang looked at each other in surprise, did we all think wrong?
"Yes, Childe, a prosperous and stable Jiangnan is definitely more in line with the interests of our Jiangnan company. For this reason, Childe shouldn't sit idly by. ”
"What Uncle Shi said makes sense." Zhao Hao touched the straw hat with a red ribbon around it, and said with a wry smile: "But for such a big matter, you have to discuss it with your family." ”
"......" The two choked for a moment, Jiangnan Company has such a big matter, and I haven't seen you discuss it with your family.
It won't be Zhao Zhuangyuan as a shield, right?
"Okay, let's stay in Kunshan for two more days, and wait for the son to discuss it with Ling Zun."
"I'll have to discuss it with my grandfather." Who knew that Zhao Hao shirked again: "His old man is the real head of the family." ”
"Uh......" The two of them are now determined, and Zhao Gongzi is shirking.
"Childe, we are our own people." Wang Mengxiang was about to burst into tears. "What can't you say?"
"Yes, Brother Xian." Wang Shimao was also very sad. "Or do you not treat us as your own?"
"You two are serious." Seeing that the two of them were still playing the emotional card with him, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, if it's something else, I can almost call the shots." But this is an illegal thing, maybe you have to cut it all over the house, how can you not sum it up with the good students in the family? ”
"It's not as serious as Brother Xian'......" Wang Shimao hurriedly said: "There are special firms that buy our goods, and we don't have direct contact with maritime merchants, so even if something really goes wrong, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"It's just a matter of covering your ears and stealing the bell." Zhao Hao shook his head categorically and said, "Otherwise, last year, even the dignified Shuntianfu Yin would help you find the Lu family's account books?" ”
"That ......," Wang Shimao was dumbfounded.
"That account ......" Wang Mengxiang suddenly shuddered and said, "It won't fall into the hands of the son, right?" ”
Zhao Hao smiled faintly, and there was an extra gold seal embedded with five-colored gemstones in his hand.
"Huh? Pure Sea King Seal! Both of them gasped at the same time, and they both stood up at once.
Wang Mengxiang suppressed the greedy color in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that this seal really fell into the hands of the son!" ”
"Hehe, I said it was purely accidental, I don't know if you believe it or not." Zhao Hao rubbed the golden seal with his thumb, and then casually threw it to Wang Mengxiang.
Wang Mengxiang hurriedly caught it with both hands and took it in his hand to look at it carefully. This was the first time he had touched the seal of One Piece.
"Since it's so important to you, I'll give it to the two of you." The young man in the red coat and blue shorts picked up his yellow straw hat and got up and walked towards the hatch.
"Childe stays!" Wang Mengxiang struggled slightly, then quickly chased after him, returned the gold seal with both hands and said: "What the son discarded, we shouldn't be nostalgic!" ”
"Yes, Childe, since you don't want to join, my Wang family should quit." Wang Shimao also hurriedly said: "Actually, I didn't want to make this kind of bad money for a long time, but in the past, a large family still had to rely on this to support." Now that there is Jiangnan Company, it is not uncommon to see this, and it is just taking this opportunity to completely break it. ”
After listening to the statements of the two, Zhao Hao stood still, turned to the two of them and said, "The same thing, I said it to the Hua family once, and now I will say it again to the two of you." ”
"In this world, the more you get, the more you have to bear. A person who is only willing to take advantage of the benefits, but is unwilling to take responsibility, we can usually call him a 'moth', the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty, can no longer afford to be trampled by moths. The ship sank, and everything was closed! ”
The two of them were trained to blush and bow their heads.
"So from the first day of the establishment of Jiangnan Company, I told everyone that we only do things that are not illegal." Listening to Zhao Gongzi's slow tone, he said: "So whether it is my Zhao family or the Jiangnan Company, I will not participate in smuggling in any form." ”
"Son, what about Jiangnan? So many people no longer have land and cannot return to the countryside. Wang Mengxiang couldn't help but ask: "If you don't give them a way to live, the people will rebel!" ”
"If you don't smuggle, can't you trade at sea?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
ps. Slept, I hope tomorrow without tears.
