Drunk and unconscious, the situation is obviously very serious, otherwise he would not have sent someone to Shunde overnight to urge him to go back, there is no one at home, the eldest brother Yi Zhishu has been at home, thinking of this, Yi Zhishu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the old man is most likely to be fierce and auspicious this time.

Seeing that Yi Zhizhi was silent and silent, Lin Daan hurriedly explained the situation in detail, Yi Zhizhi won the reward of the four products, he didn't take it seriously, but the thirteen lines were jubilant, although the court has a donation system, as long as there is silver, you can donate officials, but the highest can only donate to the four products.

Although the Thirteen Lines are half-official and half-businessmen, the official ranks of the merchants are generally not high, most of them are five and six products, and the general merchant is the fourth product, the only exception is Wu Bingjian, he is the third product of the blue top, everyone knows in their hearts, that is because the Wu family has donated too much silver, so they won this honor.

Yi Zhixiang was young, and he didn't donate a big son to the court, so he was rewarded with the top of the four grades, and he was rewarded by the son of today, what does it mean? When all the merchants heard the news, they immediately set up a banquet to congratulate them.

Yi Yunchang was both happy and excited, he inevitably drank a few more glasses at the banquet, and soon after returning home, he fell unconscious, originally only thought he was drunk, but after finding that the situation was wrong, he urgently invited Lang Zhong, what the specific condition was, Lin Daan was not very clear.

After listening to Lin Da'an, Yi Zhishu groaned slightly, and then ordered: "Go and call Xie Xiuyuan, He Shutai, and Wang Chaoyi, and in addition, inform Wu Changqing, and let him prepare, let's go back to Xiguan this morning." ”

"Yes, young master." Li Wang and Lin Da'an hurriedly bowed down and responded.

As soon as the two went out, the little guy who had been waiting outside early with tea hurriedly came in, Yi Zhizhi didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, and after drinking a cup of tea, he pondered the aftermath of Shunde.

Yuan Qi invested tens of millions in the Shunde raw silk market, and may continue to invest more, raw silk hegemony can now be said to be just starting, leaving Shunde at this juncture, he is really a little worried, but he knows very well in his heart that it is impossible not to rush back to Xiguan.

This is the era of ruling the world with filial piety, and when officials encounter the death of their parents, they have to resign and worry, not to mention business? No matter how big the business is, you have to let go, loyalty and filial piety, this is the foundation of life, if you bear a reputation of unfilial piety, then you don't have to mix.

Xie Xiuyuan lived in the backyard of the branch, naturally he was the fastest, he didn't know what was going on, after entering the door to see Yi Zhi's contented expression, there was no trace of a smile on his face, only then did he notice something abnormal, and immediately said tentatively: "What do the big shopkeepers command?" ”

"My father is critically ill, and mine will rush back to Xiguan immediately." Yi Zhicontent said in a deep voice.

At this juncture, it is easy to be content to go back to Xiguan? Xie Xiuyuan couldn't help but be stunned, although Shunde is not far from Xiguan, but now is the peak period of raw silk listing, there are many ships coming and going on the waterway, a round trip takes at least one day and one night, the raw silk market is changing, who can say clearly, in case something happens, it can be out of reach, Yuan Qi has invested tens of millions of taels of silver in Shunde.

Seeing that he was silent, Yi Zhixin knew that he was under a lot of pressure in his heart, and immediately pretended to be relaxed and said, "What's the matter, cowardly? ”

"It's a bit timid." Xie Xiuyuan said calmly: "Raw silk hegemony, if this is just the beginning, involving tens of millions of taels of silver, not to mention, and the success or failure of this matter is also related to the integration of Shunde money bank, and the impact on the opening of a machine silk reeling factory is also huge, it can be said that it is directly related to whether Yuanqi's expansion plan can be carried out smoothly, this burden is too heavy, how can you not be timid?" ”

Hearing him say this, Yi Zhishu was secretly relieved, Xie Xiuyuan was bold, dared to think and do, especially like to take risks, what he was most worried about was that Xie Xiuyuan refused to give up easily in order to pursue maximum profits, and now the other party can consider the overall situation and be timid, which is a good thing.

However, he didn't want the other party to be timid, and he groaned slightly, before he spoke: "The confidence of our raw silk hegemony is that Shunde has gathered more than 10 million taels of silver, as long as you are not greedy, there is no possibility of collapse, what you need to worry about is not the collapse, but the price of raw silk is rising too fast, rising too high, once this happens, the situation will get out of control, the market will be chaotic, and the price of raw silk will fluctuate."

Although this situation is conducive to us making money from it, it is also conducive to those foreign silk merchants to make money from it, and we and the foreign silk merchants have earned the silver, and the mess left behind has to be cleaned up in the end. In addition, we can no longer let the local silk merchants hurt their vitality, which is not conducive to the popularization of machine silk reeling factories in Shunde in the next year.

Because we need some Shunde silk merchants to cooperate with Yuanqi to set up a machine silk reeling factory, with these examples, we can quickly promote and popularize machine silk reeling factories in other counties. ”

Xie Xiuyuan didn't expect that behind the raw silk hegemony, Yi Zhifen still had so many considerations, and what he didn't expect was that what Yi Zhifen was worried about was not the collapse, but the price of raw silk rising too high and too fast! But think about it carefully, it's really like that, it is difficult for foreign silk merchants to suppress the price of raw silk, but it is easy to raise the price of raw silk.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: "It's still the big shopkeeper who sees it thoroughly, the other party wants to muddy the waters, and if they don't let them get their wish, we have purchased nearly four million raw silk at a low price, and the funds on hand are also abundant, they pull up, we will sell, they sell, we will eat a lot." ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "However, your attention, don't put us in the raw silk market, buy and sell in the later stage, two or three dollars is a hurdle." After a pause, he continued: "This is actually a precaution, although the amount of silver flowing in the market is huge, but after all, it is a plate of scattered sand, and it is difficult to do anything." ”

Before the words were finished, Wu Changqing, He Shutai, and Wang Chaoyi came together, and after seeing the ceremony, Yi Zhixiang said straightforwardly: "My father is critically ill, I have to rush back to Xiguan immediately, when I can return, it is still unknown, Shunde Shengsi matters, by Xie Xiuyuan, I hope you will help." ”

"Yida shopkeeper rest assured." He Shutai hesitated, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "We will definitely do our best to help relieve the shopkeeper." ”

"Then please." Yi Zhizhi said and bowed his hands.

Xie Xiuyuan and the three of them hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The big shopkeeper can rest assured, there will be no negative trust of the big shopkeeper in the inferior class, and Shunde matters, no matter how big or small, will be reported every day." ”

Yi Zhishu nodded slightly, and then advised: "Pay close attention to the flow of bulk silver in Shunde. ”

"I understand below." Xie Xiuyuan hurriedly responded.
