Not only did Little Peanut mutter, but the young man who had just returned to the store was also about to explode. Isn't it just to buy silk at a cheap price, as for such a threat? However, when he saw his big shopkeeper throwing a look at him to guard the door, even if he was aggrieved, he could only bow his head.

But as soon as he went out, he suddenly remembered that there were still guests in his backyard! What the hell does the big shopkeeper think? Just when he signaled him to go out to greet him, he didn't make a noise, just took people to the backyard, and now he left the VIP there...... No matter how you look at Dr. Zhang Shoutangtang Guozi, it is much more important than the bullshit master of the Hejian prefect right now!

In the shop, Shopkeeper Hua stared at the aggressive Master Bi, and suddenly smiled and said: "Master Bi, although your family is in charge of Hejian Mansion, it is far from covering the sky with one hand, not to mention that there are two more statues in Changlu County...... No, the three Buddhas are there. You are jumping up and down like this, planning to pour dirty water on General Zhu and Dr. Zhang, I only want to ask you one thing......"

"Is this really what your family family means?"

With this sudden shout, Master Bi's heart trembled suddenly, and when he realized that he shouldn't show cowardice, he had already seen the big shopkeeper in front of him who he regarded as an insignificant side branch of Fahrenheit, and he was already sneering.

Not to be outdone, he immediately said angrily: "Okay, the shopkeeper Hua is really angry!" Since your family opened a store in Cangzhou, you have hoarded and lived in strange, causing many small private businesses to go bankrupt and your wives to be separated! Even profiteers like you still want to climb the high branches? Dream! ”

"Even if a profiteer like me climbs a high branch, it is better than a scholar like this who fails the imperial examination but kneels and licks bullshit!" The shopkeeper of Hua sneered at each other without giving in, and seeing that Master Bi's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, he couldn't help laughing heartily, "When Emperor Taizu scolded people back then, didn't you scholars scold vulgarity in private?" It can be used on you, but it's wonderful! ”

Master Bi finally succeeded in being completely enraged. He subconsciously picked up the teacup sent by the original young man on the side, and smashed it out angrily, but he saw that the head of the shopkeeper Hua was biased, and he was gently and skillfully dodging it, only his shoulder was drenched by most of the tea poured out. However, as the tea cup fell to the ground, he realized that it was not good.

Just a few days ago, when the son of his own prefect was talking about the rise of a wine shop, he also threw the teacup from the second floor in anger, and it was even said that he injured someone. Although he later heard that the injured person was sent to the hospital by passers-by, and no one dared to come to ask for the soup and medicine, but he did not find the injured person afterwards.

Now others are still in this Hua's territory, but because they were provoked, they smashed other people's things, in case the other party blackmailed that this tea cup was the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty......

Before Master Bi could figure out how to symbolically obey without being humble or arrogant, and then hurriedly brushed his sleeves away, he saw the shopkeeper Nahua gently flick a piece of tea on his shoulder, and then laughed again.

Only this time, there was no sarcasm in the laughter, but there was no warmth, and it sounded gloomy and compassionate.

"If there is a master, there must be a servant...... No wonder humanity is a nest of snakes and rats! Do you think that you are swaggering and deceiving everywhere in the name of your family's mansion these days, and you are really kneeling when you see you, afraid of you like a tiger? People respect the family and respect the parents of Hejian Mansion appointed by the imperial court, but even if the Huang Gongzi behind you is not a character without his father, let alone you! ”

Speaking of this, seeing Master Bi's face like earth, Shopkeeper Hua suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Come on, take down this swaggering liar for me and send it to Changlu County to be dealt with!" Let's just say that I, Hua's Silk Zhuang, wept blood and sued, and there are traitors in the name of the prefect of Hejian in Cangzhou City, plotting against him, please ask the envoys to uphold justice! ”

Little Peanut, who was eavesdropping at the back door, almost didn't bite his tongue.

What's the situation, isn't it just to buy silk and want to lower the price? How did it suddenly become a swagger?

However, he didn't understand that it didn't matter, and almost the next moment, he heard a sudden shouting and angry shouting from inside the small door. He finally couldn't restrain his curiosity anymore, and opened the gap in the door curtain a little wider, and finally saw clearly that the two big men were twisting the arms of the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man before, one left and one right. Come to think of it, people are what Master Bi is.

"The surname is Hua, are you crazy! Are you bent on going against my lord? ”

Facing Master Bi who was struggling desperately and screaming desperately, the fat shopkeeper Hua smiled, walked forward unhurriedly, and suddenly patted Master Bi's face lightly with his hand: "People are self-aware, since the son of your family called a group of scholars to come out to play in the mountains and rivers, then take a good tour of the mountains and rivers, and go to provoke Miss Zhu to be beaten, but you still want to fan the flames in Cangzhou?" ”

"In addition, after you, the dog-legged man who didn't follow him to Ma Liushan, and didn't see his shame, stupidly ran forward, your lord can be regarded as killing your lord!"

Hearing what the shopkeeper Hua meant, Master Bi was in a state of death, but he didn't have time to say anything at all, and a cloth ball was stuffed in his mouth, and then the two big men were easily carried out like eagles carrying chickens.

And it wasn't until such a guy was taken away that Shopkeeper Hua took out a handkerchief from his arms, and then wiped his shoulder, and when he saw that the young man he had just sent out to look at the wind rushed in, looking at him with a worried face, he smiled.

"Don't be afraid, I already knew that this insatiable guy was likely to come to blackmail our shop, so I sent a letter to General Zhu early. It's like this kind of waste dim sum, thinking that it's amazing to read a book, and also wants to blackmail the Hua family? Pipe dream! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the back door, and saw that the curtain was still swinging slightly, as if the person who had just peeped there hurriedly threw down the curtain and ran away. He didn't care about this, wiped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go see the real guests!" ”

said that he was going to see a distinguished guest, but the shopkeeper Hua was not too anxious, but first went to the compartment next to the store in front of him, changed out of the clothes that had just been wet with tea, and changed into a new outfit, so he took the young man through the store to the backyard without hurrying.

As for the time wasted, he originally asked the voyeur to tell Zhang Shou the whole story.

Under the rule of such a major event as the Cangzhou turmoil, and there were insatiable subordinates like Xu Cheng, the Hejian prefect would have been implicated, and the small ones would have been punished by the imperial court, and the evaluation would be demoted, and the big ones would be demoted. Of course, this can all be operated, and the prefect of Hejian is not unable to collude with some bigwigs in the DPRK who are dissatisfied with the results of Cangzhou's disposition, and then try to turn the tables.

The problem is that this needs to be operated behind the scenes, not to let a son who is too stupid to be stupid anymore and a master who is too stupid to be able to do anything in front of him, but in fact, he is making enemies on all sides.

If he wants to guess, I'm afraid that when this group of people left Hejian Mansion, there was no series of incidents in Cangzhou where the chaotic people invaded the palace, and after the people came, the matter happened to be suppressed by Zhu Tingfang. So Huang Gongzi and the others were able to continue to play in the mountains and rivers triumphantly, pointing out the rivers and mountains, and then when they bumped into the eldest lady's iron plate, they challenged Uncle Zhu Jialang with all their might.

If he guessed correctly, the prefect of Hejian was really unlucky! But I deserve it, if I don't teach it, it's my father's fault!

Thinking about it in his heart, when Shopkeeper Hua entered the small hall in the backyard, he left that Huang Gongzi behind, and immediately raised his hand and saluted. But before he could apologize for the "neglect" he had just made, he saw the clear-eyed young man in the seat suddenly flutter his sleeves and asked something that caught him completely off guard.

"The Hua family is the richest man in Suzhou, but not the richest man in Nanzhili, it is said that it is because he has never been involved in maritime trade?"

This Dr. Guozi has never been to Jiangnan, how can he know this? It must be Jiang Dashao's quick mouth! The third young grandmother in the family is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing exquisitely, how can there be such a two-hundred-and-five-like big brother!

Shopkeeper Hua quickly calculated the countermeasures in his heart, straightened his waist and said with a wry smile: "Dr. Zhang's words really hit the weakness of the Hua family. Suzhou is located in the southeast, adjacent to Songjiang Mansion, when Grandpa Taizu began to send a fleet to sea, some people suggested that Liujiagang in the east of Suzhou Mansion should be selected. It is most convenient to transport all kinds of materials from the canal to Lou River, but ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and finally sighed: "But this suggestion was finally beaten back." Grandpa Taizu said that Liujiagang is good, and the Yuan Dynasty also used to be the starting point for shipping grain, but ...... However, the terrain over there is not good, and it is likely that there will be sediment accumulation in the future, so the first time the official ship went to sea was Ningbo Prefecture. Now, Shanghai County has also caught up, but Liujiagang has been abandoned for many years. Grandpa Taizu is really a god, Liujiagang is indeed gradually silting, and now it is not as good as my early years. ”

Hearing the evaluation of the grandfather in front of him, Zhang Shou couldn't help crying and laughing.

Liujiagang is indeed extremely glamorous in the early Ming Dynasty in history, and the starting point of Zheng He's trip to the West is here, but I didn't expect that today's Ming Dynasty will be abandoned because of Emperor Taizu's words! However, the siltation of Liujiagang is also true in history......

However, after listening to the too frank words of the shopkeeper Hua, he knew that the other party's honesty was also because he was afraid that he would ask too much, so he pretended not to know at the moment, and asked with great interest: "Even if the official ship can't go to sea from this place, what about the civilian ship?" Although Taizu set the five major battalions of the world's naval army, such as Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian, Huizhou Mansion in Guangdong, and Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County as you just said, don't they all go to sea? ”

"Because Suzhou silk products have always been the best, the Weaving Bureau is worried that we will ship the first-class products overseas and send the second-class products to the imperial court, so the opening of Liujiagang has always been obstructed. After all, once the money for clothing is insufficient every year, we can all go straight to the court. So far, the Weaving Bureau has been 20 weaving, and there are 12 people who are greedy for ink and lose their heads, so weaving and merchants have always been opponents. ”

Little Peanut listened beside him, and couldn't help muttering secretly: "No wonder you dare to be so top with that master!" ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard it, he knew that the one who had just peeped at him behind the door must be this servant-like kid. However, seeing that Zhang Shou did not stop, he knew that Zhang Shou was at least not disgusted by the behavior of local businessmen in Suzhou against corrupt officials.

So, he talked in detail about the Taizu and the purchase system, the imperial court repeatedly wanted to cut the money for clothing, and as a result, there were often people holding the family heirloom of the ancestors of the ancestors to go back to all kinds of stories - moreover, a lot of weaving that was cut off from the head, some were really greedy, some wanted to save money for the emperor, and the Suzhou merchants who resisted, there were not a few who broke their homes and destroyed their families, but it also caused a result.

That is, all businessmen will treat their own helpers well, because when fighting against the government, these helpers need to rush forward. It is precisely because of this that the so-called chaotic people in Cangzhou are not a problem at all if they are put aside in Suzhou!

In addition to not holding the eldest prince hostage, those merchants and mercenaries in Suzhou have done even more exaggerated things - they set the weaving mansion on fire, and the prince of Emperor Yingzong, who went down to the south of the Yangtze River to scrape the ground, was so dispossessed that he fled in the wilderness. And because Ruizong later got the support of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, he immediately settled on the big treasure in three moments, and the matter was finally over.

As for the prince...... Well, it was his luck to die unexplained halfway back to Beijing in a hurry. Because of his other brothers who competed for the throne, they also survived and swallowed their anger......

Zhang Shou didn't know much about the history of this dynasty, and most of the ones he knew before were from the literati notes collected by Ge Yong.

And these things he was interested in, Ah Liu didn't care much about them, the young man simply stood there and closed his eyes to recuperate, and he cultivated the mastery of standing up and sleeping.

As for Little Peanut, if he hadn't thought that he was now Zhang Shou's entourage, he would have almost been shocked several times. Especially when he heard that a group of weavers in Suzhou who fought against weaving, in the end only one person was imprisoned, although he was initially killed, but then he was imprisoned, and when he was released like this, he wanted to ask if this operation could be used here in Cangzhou.

Zhang Shou casually asked a question, which attracted the Hua shopkeeper to talk endlessly, and when the big shopkeeper finally came to an end, he laughed and said: "According to what you say, although Suzhou produces silk and Suzhou embroidery, the sea trade has to rely on others. If you want to go to sea, it is probably the canal to Jiaxing, and then go to sea from the river to Shanghai County? It costs a lot more money every year, right? ”

"That's right." The shopkeeper of Hua did not mince words, and then he spread his hands helplessly, "Therefore, the Suzhou merchants led by the Hua family pay more attention to the canal, and more than half of the various silk and Suzhou embroidery are sent to Tianjin and Beijing every year, because the cost of domestic sales is much lower than that of export sales." Although the sea trade is good, but those merchants in Songjiang are united, even if we have money and people, we will not be able to get the certificate. ”

"And the situation in Ningbo Mansion and Songjiang Mansion is similar, no one wants the merchants of Suzhou Mansion to get involved. Fuzhou in Fujian and Guangzhou in Guangdong are really too expensive to spend by land in addition to the sea route. As for Tianjin by the canal, ......"

Shopkeeper Hua smiled helplessly: "The merchant ships robbed and killed by the Tianjin Linhai camp, in addition to the ships of the Northern Merchants, also include a sea ship of a merchant in Suzhou, and the camp roar last year really scared everyone!" Besides, Tianjin was infiltrated by many businessmen in the southeast in the early years, and it has long been a muddy water that cannot be easily stepped into. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shou had already completely understood, and he asked with a smile: "What if Cangzhou also wants to build a port?" ”
