Chapter 662 Price Increases and Stakes

As long as this letter is delivered to Chang'an, then these farces should be over.

After entering Dengzhou City, Leng Feng first cleaned himself thoroughly, especially to shave off his beard.

After dealing with personal hygiene and changing into a silk robe, Leng Feng never felt so transparent inside and out during this time, as if the feeling of weakness had disappeared a lot.

There is also Xiaocai who is about the same treatment as him.

After changing into a long skirt and grooming, Xiaocai is no longer the feeling of a wild girl in the mountains, but more like a lady in the mountains, just a heroic gesture, but it is different from the delicate lady.

Leng Feng, who saw Xiaocai, was slightly surprised, and Xiaocai, who saw Leng Feng, was also taken aback. Leng Feng, who originally had a messy beard, was cleaned up, but he looked more like a son-in-law.

Zhou Jiao changed into his regular clothes, and said to Leng Feng with a smile: "Protector Guogong, your health is not good, the lower official asked the doctor to stew medicinal food for you, you better eat first and then rest!" ”

For Zhou Jiao, Huguo Gong is not only a big man in Kyoto, but also a benefactor who has opened up a source of wealth for the people of Dengzhou, so he naturally does not dare to slack off.

Leng Feng naturally obeyed Zhou Jiao's arrangement.

After resting in Dengzhou City for two days, Zhou Jiao personally led people to form a team and escorted Leng Feng back to Chang'an.

The emergency report was still on the way, and everyone in Chang'an at this time didn't know that Leng Feng was still alive.

Sun Simiao was invited back by the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army, and during the time when Qinling was collecting medicine, the old Taoist priest was tortured even thinner.

After seeing Liu Shuwen and asking for a consultation, Sun Simiao called Leng Jing and Li Chengqian to his side.

"It's heart disease, heart disease, Lao Dao is really unpredictable, if Leng Feng is still alive, he may know some methods. Heart disease also needs heart medicine, and the old way can't do anything. However, you still have something to do. Leng Feng said that people with aphasia will also lose their hearing if they don't speak for a long time. Talk to her often, lest her hearing regress. ”

After listening to Sun Simiao's words, Li Chengqian and Leng Jing had a headache.

Although they knew that Doctor Sun might not be able to do anything, but when they heard him really say that there was no way, the two of them were still a little unacceptable.

Leng Jinggong arched his hand and said, "Doctor Sun, I'm sorry for you, I'll definitely remember it." ”

Sun Simiao patted Leng Jing's shoulder and said, "Your father and I are close friends, but now that he is gone, leaving you young children and widows, alas! If there is anything in the future, you will come directly to the old way, but if the old way can help you, it will definitely help you. ”

Leng Jing nodded gratefully.

Although his father is gone, he has left a lot behind. Leng Jing listened to the same words no less than ten times, and he knew that what these people said was not just simple talk.

After sending Sun Simiao away, Leng Jing entered the study alone.

Once in this place, he would always stay on until his father "got angry" and grabbed him and slapped his ass a few times.

Now, he still wants to do it again, but there is no one to cheat.

He had seen many soldiers' families, hung white, and their relatives were crying bitterly, but he didn't expect that his father, the tall man who could almost bear a piece of the sky, would just leave.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded, Leng Jing wiped his tears, and forced a mature and steady voice: "Come in!" ”

The door opened, and Lao Yuan and Lao Li walked in.

The old patriarch Li meticulously bent down and arched his hand: "The head of the family." ”

Leng Jing smiled: "Grandpa Yuan, Grandpa Li, you two are not ordinary retainers, you don't have to be so formalistic in the future." ”

Lao Yuan said seriously: "Family master, although you are young, you are still the head of the Leng family, and the distinction between master and servant cannot be confused, otherwise how can you establish majesty in the retainer's family in the future?" ”

Lao Li also said: "What Lao Yuan said is yes, the head of the family, you don't need to be respectful to our two old men, you are young now, and arrogance is what you should be, otherwise, outsiders will think that our Leng family is easy to bully, and they will do it openly and secretly!" ”

Listening to Lao Li's words, Leng Jing was taken aback and asked, "But what happened to the family's industry?" ”

Lao Li nodded, motioned for Leng Jing to sit down, and he and Lao Yuan put the account book they were holding on the table, turned it page by page, and showed it to Leng Jing.

Looking at the dense names and 1 numbers in the account book, Leng Jing, who had not yet recognized the words, only felt dizzy.

"I don't understand either, two grandfathers, you just tell me what's going on."

Lao Yuan did not directly say the answer, but pointed to the data in the account book and explained to Leng Jing in detail: "Look, the head of the family, what is recorded here is a list of purchases, and our lime kiln and cement workshop have always been profitable transactions. The materials of lime firing are nothing more than white stone and coal, so the coal in Taiyuan is the top priority of this industry.

Originally, thirty percent of our coal was shipped from Hao Wencai, and seventy percent was delivered by some small coal merchants in Taiyuan. But after the news of the death of the old family owner was announced, they uniformly raised the price. ”

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

Leng Jing knew that Lao Yuan was teaching himself, so he raised his own question.

Lao Yuan continued: "Naturally, there is something wrong, our coal purchase price is already very fair, why do they ask for a price increase? And the price increase is still so large? Naturally, we will not agree and will take the initiative to terminate the agreement. So, who will they sell the coal to after they terminate the contract with us? ”

Leng Jing shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Lao Li said directly: "The fifth surname, the Wang family." The head of the family didn't know that the old family owner once cheated the Wang family fiercely, causing them to hurt their vitality, and later through the bank, the five surnames collectively broke their arms.

However, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, let alone a big family like the five surnames. As soon as the old owner died, they immediately set their sights on the coal trade.

As long as they can develop, even if they can't join the bank, they can become rich. ”

Leng Jingzai listened carefully to Lao Yuan and Lao Li's analysis, for fear of missing a little.

The Leng family's family business is very big, so big that even the emperor is hot-eyed, and Leng Jing knows this. He alone is simply not enough to maintain this industrial chain.

But fortunately, his father left him two right-hand men, the old elder Li.

After analyzing Taiyuan, Lao Yuan took out a few more letters, thought about it and gave it to Leng Jing.

"What is this?"

Leng Jing took the letter and could only recognize the words "Liu Hongji" and "Li Ji" on it.

Lao Yuan sighed and said: "The letter from these people to you has only one purpose, that is, to invest in Tianxialou, or the kind of shareholding that includes all the industries under Tianxialou. The most important thing is that the investment money they give is estimated to be eye-catching to beggars! ”

Lao Li also said: "Hehe, they still say good things, saying that they have invested in the world, and if there is anything to happen to the Leng family in the future, they will not stand idly by, it is really a laughing person." ”
