Merchants who traveled to and from Huainan mainly gathered in two areas near Shouchun, one was near Luojian, and the smelting and casting base around Luojian was generally the representative of the powerful military leaders of all parties and the brokers who bought and sold all kinds of ordnance, ore, fuel and other goods.

The other is the area located between Shaobi and Shuishui, where the water and land transportation is convenient, there are many warehouses and wharves, and the surrounding area of Shaobi is also the concentration of various handicraft industries in Huainan.

Of course, there is another place in addition to this, that is, the newly hyped Qianjin Mansion, but the people who can have a residence there are all wealthy businessmen with extremely strong financial resources and backgrounds, and in order not to disturb the peace of the eldest princess and the Shen family's Xiaolangjun, they are not in a hurry to move in.

Businessmen mostly make money with harmony, even if the temperament is lonely and not confluent, but businessmen from all walks of life gather together, exchange greetings, and communicate with each other, which is itself where the business opportunities lie. Therefore, businessmen from all over the north and south have different backgrounds, but as long as they are in Huainan, interacting with each other is also one of their main daily activities.

Yuzhang Luo's is a group of early merchants to settle in Huainan, although it is not as big as Xiong's, Hu's and other Haoqiang in Huainan, but it has also accumulated a lot of contacts in the past few years. Therefore, when his family's business encountered twists and turns, it soon spread in the surrounding area, and businessmen from all walks of life also visited in the name of condolences to inquire about the inside situation.

Luo Zhen, as the main person in charge of Luo's business in Huainan, inevitably had to come forward to receive these people, but his mood was not good, and his smile was a little reluctant.

As Shen Zhezi expected, Roche's goods were detained in Hefei this time, and there were indeed some reasons for taking it personally. Since most of the customs regulations issued by the Governor's Office this time were grain, and grain was hard currency everywhere, it was difficult to bring other commercial goods with them and then purchase and replenish them along the way.

Jiangzhou has been rich for many years and rarely involved in major events, so the price of grain around Yuzhang has been very low, even between five or six dollars of rice. However, the price of grain in Huainan has risen for well-known reasons, and the price of private rice has even exceeded 60 yuan. However, this time the trade object was the Huainan Governor's Mansion, and it was such a large transaction, and the price of grain was still between 30 and 40 yuan according to the category.

But even so, after deducting all the expenses along the way, you can still make a profit of four to five times, which can also be called a windfall profit. However, it is natural to maximize profits, and who would be disgusted with how hot the money is.

Therefore, in addition to grain goods, Roche is also paired with some other in-demand private goods, ready to be sold along the way. But there were many business trips with these purposes, and Roche was not the first to do so, and the sales of those goods along the way were extremely unsatisfactory.

Luo Zhen was also dizzy, and after thinking about it, he was still reluctant to dump the commercial goods that he bothered to buy at a low price, and planned to transport them to Huainan for storage in order to wait for Dawang City in the coming year.

Although there is an old grudge and old feud on the way, Luo Zhen feels that Huainan is now gaining momentum and this batch of grain is urgently needed, and then he will take out some of the goods to dredge up a little, and Wang Shouqi may not dare to directly seize the goods.

But Wang Shouqi really did this, which also made Luo Zhen quite helpless, and begged to go straight to Huainan without any result, and begged the Governor's Mansion to come forward to settle Wang Shouqi, and by the way, hit his arrogance.

However, he didn't expect that the mere 300,000 grains and goods would directly attract the Metropolitan Governor to come forward in person, which really surprised him, and he became nervous after leaving the Governor's Mansion.

Although the governor of the capital looks handsome and elegant, but if he really turns his face, he is really murderous without blinking, and he has been doing business in Huainan for a long time, Luo Zhen has seen with his own eyes how he persecuted the unruly township sects in those counties in southern Henan to ruin his family and flee his hometown.

In addition to condolences, most of these merchants who came to visit were also on the sidelines. Fighting in the same circle, the purpose and intentions are similar, and most of them can guess why such a thing happened to Roche.

Although each family may not be unlucky to have such a key old feud as the Luo family, but in fact, it is already a silent tacit understanding to carry private goods, and the difference is only in the size of the guts. Therefore, how to solve Roche's predicament this time is also an omen for them.

"Now that things are making great progress in the north, things are in a hurry. We are here to do business, although our words are profitable, but we are not responding to the call of the Metropolitan Governor Ya and helping the king with our own meager strength. Luo Jun, you don't have to worry too much, if such an evil thing happens, the Governor's Mansion will never turn a blind eye, and it will definitely be solved in the near future! ”

Hearing that everyone in the banquet was so comforted, Luo Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, he also thought this way at the beginning, so he dared to violate the ban even though he knew that there was such a trouble as Wang Xuanqi. However, when he saw the Governor himself in the Governor's Palace, this confidence was shaken.

With the growth of Dingcang, the threshold of merchants around the country has been pressed to a very low level, as long as the door can afford to buy the first batch of goods successfully transported to Huainan, the future is a steady stream of goods into the door.

Like Luo himself, although he is also a wealthy family in Yuzhang, he raised 300,000 grains in such a short period of time and successfully trafficked them to Jiangbei, and his original family resources were a little reluctant. Half of these grains alone were purchased from the townships.

Therefore, what the man said about helping the king seemed to be that the Governor's Mansion had asked for them, but in fact, they each had to rely on the Governor's Mansion more. Once the bottom line of the Governor's Mansion is exceeded, then the current trade routes will soon be replaced by other village sects. Especially after the king's great progress, the situation will definitely be good in the coming year, and I don't know how many rich people in the township can be created.

If the Luo clan sees evil in the Governor's Mansion because of this omission, he will definitely be alienated and embarrassed, and it will really outweigh the losses.

Originally, Luo Zhen's idea was that if the Governor's Mansion didn't pay attention to this matter, he would incite the merchants to exert a little pressure on the Governor's Mansion. But because the Metropolitan Governor personally came forward, he didn't dare to do it again, otherwise he would really be dying!

One of the people in the banquet has been speechless, after Luo Zhen's eyes fell on the other party, a trace of hope flashed in his eyes, and he said to the other party: "This time the goods are going north, and the benefits are still secondary, and I hope to help the governor a little more." At present, the Governor's Mansion is busy, and he may not be in a hurry for such a trivial matter, so he will ask Hu Jun to help a little at that time. Nostalgia is kind to help, never dare to forget! ”

The man was not very old among the merchants, only twenty-seven or eighteen, but his seat was prominent. The reason why he is valued among the businessmen is not because of his rich family wealth, but because he has a cousin named Hurun, who is not only a protégé of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, but also a new superintendent of the Shengwu Army. This background alone is better than the Sangongtai auxiliary portal in Huainan.

The person's name was Hu Hong, and when he heard Luo Zhen lowering his posture and softly begging, he didn't have too much arrogance on his face, but he just said: "Luo Jun doesn't need to worry too much, I am longer than Huainan, and naturally I know how the Governor's Mansion is doing." If this is just an unwarranted disaster, it will be solved in the near future, and it will not be a problem. ”

After Luo Zhen and the others heard this, their expressions were a little unnatural, even if they secretly slandered, they didn't dare to express it.

At this time, Luo's family suddenly said that there was a member of the Governor's Mansion who came to see him.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but comfort Luo Zhen or the Governor's Mansion had a solution to come and inform him, Luo Zhen was also mixed after hearing this, and went out to greet him in person. Everyone else had to wait and see how things were going to develop, and they were not in a hurry to leave at this time, and they saw several officials from the Governor's Mansion who were in charge of Dingcang entering, and they all stood up to salute.

The officials under the Governor's Mansion did not make many lies, but only took out the decree of the Governor to announce the decision of the Metropolitan Governor.

Hearing that all the assets involved in his subordinates were to be sealed and investigated, Luo Zhen's face had changed drastically, and his body was shaky, if it weren't for his family members who rushed forward to help, he would almost fall to the ground.

After the others heard this, they were silent for a while, one was that they didn't expect such a trivial matter to be dealt with by the Metropolitan Governor personally, and the other didn't expect that the handling would be so severe, it was simply the rhythm of confiscating all of Luo's assets at any time!

After listening to the order of the Governor's Mansion in the banquet, Hu Hong frowned slightly for a while, and said: "At present, the internal situation is not clear, is it ...... to deal with it like this?"

When the official heard this, he smiled and said, "For now, it's just a regular question, Luo Jun and all the gentlemen, please rest assured." This matter has been personally watched by the Grand Governor, and the result must be a neutral judgment. If it is confirmed that the county is really harming the public with private interests and forcibly obstructing the trade route, the Governor's Office will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation, no matter who is involved! ”

Hu Hong also stopped when he heard this, since the governor of the capital made such a statement, it can be imagined that the king will inevitably be in trouble. And looking at Luo Zhen's sweaty appearance, he also knew that it was not easy for Luo to get through this pass.

As for the others, their faces were also uncertain, and they all had no intention of staying, and when the officials of the Governor's Mansion left, they got up one after another to take their leave, and each looked for a way to find out what was going on.

"Hu Jun, please stay!"

Luo Zhen didn't have the heart to stay at this time, but just grabbed Hu Hong, and there was no lack of pleading on his face: "In this predicament, I also ask Hu Junshan to help and take a look in front of the Metropolitan Governor's seat." This time, my family does have a little selfish thoughts, but they still take the use of the governor's mansion first, this is a sincere thought, please Hu Jun should be entrusted to the governor no matter what. If, if my family can survive this misfortune, the assets involved here, I am willing to transfer to Hu Jun two percent, make a contract, and there will be no deception! ”

When Hu Hong heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping, but he thought of his cousin's advice that as long as he followed the rules and regulations of the Dadu Governor, there would be no problem with Hu's prosperity, and warned him not to violate the prohibition of smuggling.

Besides, Hu Hong didn't know how deep the water was, especially when the matter had been so troubled that the Metropolitan Governor personally inquired about it, so he didn't dare to admit it casually, and after hearing the words, he said: "Luo Jun's words made me a villain who took advantage of the fire to rob." Such an evil thing, I really don't dare to insult the township, but I want to make a little inquiry for Hu Jun, which is also where the friendship of the villagers is. ”

"Get rid of Hu Jun'......"

Hearing Hu Hong say this, Luo Zhen didn't dare to say anything more, he had to count his own goods later to cooperate with the Governor's Mansion, and he didn't have much leisure, so he let Hu Hong leave by himself.

300,000 Hu grain goods, in other places or in large quantities, but in Huainan at the moment, it is nothing. However, because of the fact that the Metropolitan Governor personally intervened, the meaning was naturally different, so the merchants of all parties also paid close attention to the progress of the situation.

A few days later, another shocking news came that the Governor's Mansion went to Hefei to directly hold Lujiang Taishou Wang Zhu into the government for accountability.

After learning of this, the entire Shouchun was in an uproar again, and he was even more impressed by the high power and prestige of Governor Shen now. Wang Shouqi himself is a member of the two thousand stones, and he is also a strong military leader, but he was summoned by a piece of paper just because of this trivial matter!
