"Father...... Father...... Oh no...... Oh no! ”

At noon, Hong Anque, who was running out of breath, knocked on the door of his father Hong Futong's room, and was greeted by Hong Futong's irrepressible anger.

"Anque, how many times has the old man told me. It is necessary to meditate on every major event, but if you look at your current appearance, do you have the appearance of meditation at all? ”

These days, with the progress of the strike, seeing that the mood of the people in the city is becoming more and more impetuous, Hong Futong and several other families are in a better and better mood, so Hong Futong, who drank a few more glasses of happiness yesterday, pushed a beautiful maid who came to serve him into the room in high spirits.

It's just that Hong Futong is in his early sixties after all, and his energy naturally can't be compared with young people, plus he ate some things to help him last night with high spirits, and he made a brace, and almost broke his old waist, so he was still sleeping until noon, and now he was disturbed by Hong Anque, and his anger naturally increased.

"Uh......"

Seeing the annoyed and angry face of his own Lao Tzu and the disheveled and somewhat hand-wrenched maid next to him who was in a hurry to help him dress, Hong Anque's couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this beautiful maid was still honored to Hong Futong by the people below at the beginning of this year, and she was only fifteen years old this year. Hong Anque's idea of beating her has been a few days ago, but before she could start, she was taken the lead by her own Lao Tzu.

"Damn, it's too late!"

Hong Anque's heart cursed secretly, but as soon as he remembered what happened outside, he couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Father...... Early this morning, all the people of the Ming Royal Commercial House went to the bazaar, they actually started to sell things there, and now many people have heard the news and rushed over to surround them, so it is not lively, Qiu shopkeeper They have sent someone to inform us, please hurry up and think of a way. ”

"Daming Royal Firm?"

Hong Futong was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "These people don't seem to have anything else to sell except for glass and salt, right?" What people need today is not those glasses, but things for living, is it possible that ordinary people just eat salt? ”

"No, father, you are wrong!"

Hong Anqi rarely interrupted Hong Futong's words.

"According to the news from the shopkeeper Qiu, those people from the Daming Royal Trading House got a large number of things out of nowhere, and they were piled up on the beach and densely packed everywhere. These things not only include those things such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., but also cloth, farm tools, and other things. ”

Speaking of this, Hong Anque's face showed a look of resentment, "That's it, the problem is that the Daming Royal Commercial House is openly selling in the bazaar, and the price is several times cheaper than the goods we sell, and now the shopkeeper Qiu has begun to sit still." ”

"Is that so?"

The original disdain on Hong Antong's face finally changed, and he pushed away the beautiful maid who was about to wash his face, and asked with a solemn expression: "Is this true?" ”

"How dare a child deceive such a thing." Hong Anquek smiled bitterly: "After the child received the news, he immediately sent two waves of people to the beach and the market to investigate the news, and the matter is indeed as Shopkeeper Qiu said, and even more serious than Shopkeeper Qiu said." The people of the Daming Royal Commercial House not only transported the goods to Xiamen in a steady stream, but also loaded them on sea ships and transported these goods to Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other places for sale, so our plan will be in vain! ”

When he heard this, Hong Antong's face had become extremely gloomy.

"Sir."

At this time, the beautiful maid on the side timidly took his coat and was about to put it on for him, but when she saw Hong Futong's iron face, she was so frightened that she dropped the clothes in her hand to the ground.

"Smack!"

I only heard a crisp sound, and the beautiful maid's snow-white little face immediately had a slap print, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"You slut, you can't even do this little thing, what else does the old man want from you?" The furious Hong Antong took the anger in his heart to her head.

I only heard Hong Futong say sharply: "Someone! ”

"Sir, what do you command?" The butler, who was on standby outside the door, immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Hong Qiang, drag this little slut out, I don't want to see her again!" At this moment, Hong Futong did not have the kindness and gentleness of last night, and his wrinkled face was full of hideous colors.

"The villain understands!"

The butler replied respectfully, and then waved his hand, and the two housekeepers behind him immediately stepped forward and dragged the poor maid down, and soon the screams and pleadings of the maid disappeared from the wall.

Hong Anque's somewhat regretful glance at the direction of the beautiful maid's disappearance, he knows very well what the fate of this beautiful maid is, if there is no accident, after a while, the disappeared maid should appear in a green building somewhere in Xiamen Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion or Fuzhou Mansion, waiting to receive those prostitutes who come to visit the green house.

"It's a pity, I haven't had time to taste her taste yet, although the old man drank the soup, but I won't mind eating the meat back to the pot once." Hong Anque was muttering in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw Hong Futong's expressionless eyes.

"Idiot!" Hong Futong stared at him and scolded: "What is a woman? It's just a plaything, as long as we have money and power, women want as many as they want! You're not too young, don't worry about that little in your crotch all day long, understand? ”

"Yes...... The child remembered. ”

Hong Anqi replied respectfully, but he was a little disdainful in his heart. You're in your sixties, you didn't have a lot of fun last night, I'm only in my twenties, and when I'm young, isn't it normal to think about women?

It's just that although I think so in my heart, I don't dare to show it at all on the surface. You must know that Hong Futong is not only his son, but also has three brothers and two younger brothers above him, just because he is more loved by Hong Futong, this is only cultivated by Hong Futong as the head of the next generation of the Hong family, if Hong Futong is unhappy, he is in danger of being beaten down at any time.

After Hong Futong finished scolding, he said with a calm face: "Anque, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?" ”

Hong Anqi scratched his head a little embarrassed, the reason why the six maritime merchants dared to join other merchants to strike the market unscrupulously relied on the huge commodity resources in their hands.

Although the imperial court and government held power and justice, merchants controlled the wealth and goods of society. It is certainly powerful for the court to have power and an army in its hands, but we are not bad.

Don't you have the ability, as long as we let all the shops close for half a month, those people who can't buy things will have to make a fuss, and the people who can't buy things will be enough for you to drink a pot once they make a fuss, which is why after the middle and late stages, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more arrogant.

Isn't your government very powerful, you have the ability to conjure things up and sell them to the people, so this is also the reason why once the merchants sacrifice the magic weapon of the strike, the government often has to compromise.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that this magic weapon failed today, and the damn Daming Royal Commercial House actually made so many massive materials like a trick, and what was even worse was that it was sold so cheaply, didn't this cost them their lives?

Hong Anque, who had been thinking for a long time and couldn't come up with a solution, gritted his teeth: "Father, let's just don't do anything, tonight we will send someone to burn all the things of the Daming Royal Commercial House, without those things, the child wants to see what else they sell to those mud legs?" ”

"Idiot!"

As soon as Hong Anque's words fell, he heard Hong Futong scolding: "Your brain is full of paste? Who opened the Daming Royal Commercial Bank, that is the lifeblood of Yang Feng, a bastard, and he has heavy soldiers in his hands, can he not send heavy troops to guard such an important place, and he still wants to send someone to burn things, do you think we don't have a handle in the hands of others? ”

"What then?" The upset Hong Anqi said angrily: "Other people's things are cheaper than ours, and the things are also very good, I heard that there are many rare things, and those mud legs like it tightly after seeing it." If you don't let us do it, what can you do? Could it be true that they won't stop until they sell out...... Hey...... yes......"

When he said this, Hong Anqi was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a look of great joy, and he raised his head suddenly, and at this time he also saw that his Lao Tzu's face finally showed a smile.

Hong Anque's thigh slapped and shouted: "The child has thought of it, let's do nothing now, and it is the best choice to wait and see what happens!" ”

"Not bad!" Hong Futong nodded with satisfaction: "It's not too stupid for you to think of this." ”

Maybe it was because he was too tired last night, after standing for a while, Hong Futong only felt that his whole body was sore, and he walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, and then continued: "You also said that the things sold by the Daming Royal Commercial House are sold so cheaply, could it be that their things are blown by the wind?" The reason why they sell so cheaply is simply because they want to buy the hearts and minds of the people now.

As the saying goes, someone does the business of killing heads, but no one wants to do the business of losing money. Of course, a loss-making business can be done for a while, but it can't last long, otherwise no one can stand it after a long time, even if Yang Feng is rich and rivals the country, but he can't stand it for a long time. The old man estimated that they could only last for half a month at most, and after half a month, when this batch of goods was sold out, they should also be dumbfounded. ”

"Father, Wise!" Hong Anque's laughter: "It's just that the child thinks that we can't do nothing." Isn't Yang Feng selling things so cheap, we can also add fuel to the fire, tomorrow we can send people to buy their goods on a large scale, as long as their things are bought out, the children want to see what they take to sell? ”

"Good...... Take a good ...... "Hong Futong" Lao Huai is relieved", and he looks at his son with satisfaction with his beard, "It's rare that Anque you still have this knowledge, and it is not in vain that the old man has cultivated over the years, since this idea is put forward by you, the old man will leave this matter to you to do, and when the matter is done, the old man will choose a day to gather the clansmen into the ancestral temple and add your name to the ancestral ancestral hall." ”

"What...... Child...... Thank you, father! Hong Anque's stunned moment, then he was overjoyed and immediately knelt down towards Hong Futong, and even Hong Qiang, the housekeeper who was originally standing at the door, looked at Hong Anque's face and became a lot more respectful.

In these years, the ancestral hall of a family is not something that anyone can enter, especially the ancestral hall of a large family. And the ancestral shrine is enshrined in the tablets of the patriarchs of the past dynasties, and ordinary clansmen can only leave a name on the genealogy at best, so just now Hong Futong said that it is the responsibility to convene the clansmen, and add Hong Anque's name to the tablet of the ancestral shrine under the witness of everyone, which means that Hong Futong is going to set up Hong Anque as the next patriarch, which makes Hong Anque's overjoyed.

And Hong Futong also stroked his beard, looked at Hong Anque who was kneeling in front of him and waved his hand: "That's it, you get up, it's not too late to thank the old man after your name is really engraved." ”

Hong Anqi immediately understood in seconds, what the old man meant was to say that you don't be too happy too early, if you can't do it well this time, can you engrave your name and say it.

"Yes, the boy will do the errand you have told him to do his job well, and he will never disappoint your expectations!" Hong Anqi gritted his teeth and said word by word.

The time of the day passed quickly, and that evening, Yang Feng listened to the report of Qiu Da, the head of the Ming Royal Commercial Bank in Xiamen, in the governor's mansion of Zhengnan.

"Qi Qi Dong, today, we have sold 25,683 taels of silver goods, this is only our sales in Xiamen, and tomorrow Fuzhou Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion and other places will report the sales to know how much silver we have sold."

Speaking of the shopkeeper of Qiu, this person is also quite interesting, most people respectfully call Yang Feng the Hou Ye, but the shopkeeper of Qiu insists on calling him the owner, and claims that as long as he is still working as a Daming royal business house for a day, he will not change this title, because he wants to do his duty as a shopkeeper, which also makes Yang Feng feel very interesting and goes with him.

Listening to Shopkeeper Qiu's gushing report, Yang Feng just nodded, "Shopkeeper Qiu, you have done a good job in this matter, but in addition to selling things, you also have to pay attention to the dynamics of local merchants at any time, if there is anything unusual, report it immediately, understand?" ”

"The villain understands!" The shopkeeper of Qiu Da nodded: "None of the Hong family and the Bai family are fuel-efficient, etc., this time their conspiracy has been resolved by us, they will naturally not stand still, and there will definitely be a new conspiracy." The proprietor may rest assured that the villain will definitely be staring at them. ”

"That's good!"
