Chapter 035: Befriending Du Shangwu

It turned out that this Du Shangwu was actually a wealthy family in his ancestors, and his original name was Du Youcai, who originally lived in the imperial city of Jingzhou. www.biquge.info But this Du Shangwu was addicted to gambling, and every time he gambled, he lost all his huge family property. also lied and borrowed 2,000 taels of silver from his father-in-law, saying that he wanted to revive the family business and wanted to win back all of them, but he lost them all overnight.

When the old man heard the news, he almost died of anger. I had to take my daughter back to my parents' house, and told Du Shangwu that as long as he was willing to write a letter of resignation, he didn't have to pay back the debt of 2,000 taels of silver. After all, Du Shangwu was also a dignified seven-foot man, and he couldn't stand his father-in-law's cynicism and insults to him, so he wrote a letter of resignation in public, and swore that he owed his father-in-law two thousand taels of silver even if he fought for his life.

After that, Du Shangwu left his hometown and came to Wu Yue's Huiji to become a soldier, and changed his name to Du Shangwu. After joining the army, he worked hard to do better than others, and often made military merits, worked hard for more than ten years, and finally became a military marquis. He tried to make money by all means, and in the barracks, those soldiers all had no money to find money and had money to spend. But Du Shangwu didn't have any bad habits, he just desperately saved money, secretly buried the money in the ground, and finally saved more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Now that he was about to be transferred to the front to fight, it was impossible to carry so much silver with him. I am worried, I heard that the limelight of Guangling Rong Qian Zhuang has been very tight recently, and I heard that the reputation is reliable, so I want to store the silver in Lu Xiaoyu.

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and he said to Du Shangwu: "Brother Du, thanks to you for looking up to our Guangling Rongqian Village, it can be regarded as fate that we can meet here today." Since you are so relieved to store in our bank, I will also treat you as your own brother, and the amount of money you have is not small, I will first save it for you for three years, and if you come back at that time, I will give you 15,000 with interest. Do you think it will happen? ”

When Du Shangwu heard that Lu Xiaoyu not only kept such a large sum of money for himself, but also gave himself five thousand taels of interest, he was grateful to Lu Xiaoyu, and said excitedly: "Boss Lu, I will be my brother in the future, as long as I can come back alive, what use do you have to give Du Mou's orders in the future." And the interest you give is too much, I deserve it. ”

"In business, there are profits and losses. Brother Du's money is different, you went to the front line to kill the enemy for the safety of our rear, and there is a friendship between the two of us. Although you can rest assured that you will go to the north to fight the enemy, after three years, you can go to Jingzhou with 15,000 taels to pay off your debts. If you still need a deposit on the front line, just send it over, I will help you save it, and the interest will be quite a bit for you.

Lu Xiaoyu's face changed, and he added, "In case, if something happens to Brother Du, the younger brother will definitely help you return the money to your father-in-law in person and fulfill your original promise."

At this time, Du Shangwu really threw himself at Lu Xiaoyu's five bodies, and he said sincerely: "Then please Brother Lu." He stood up, bowed to Lu Xiaoyu and turned around and left, not even wanting to save the certificate.

Xiao He witnessed all this on the side, and admired Lu Xiaoyu so much, thinking that he really didn't follow the wrong person, he was completely conquered by Lu Xiaoyu's personality charm.

He sighed: "If we are in charge, our business will continue like this, and within a year, the mass foundation will be very solid." Even if a new bank wants to compete with us, it is not as credible as ours. ”

Lu Xiaoyu's expression was calm and calm, "Everything has to be done slowly, in my opinion, after this Brother Du goes back, he will also give us a good promotion with other soldiers." It is estimated that in less than one day, there should be many big brothers who come to our money bank to save money, these are our customers, and the customers are the Jade Emperor, and they must not be treated differently. These soldiers are five big and three rough, you are sincere to him, and he is also happy. If you him off, it's going to be difficult. ”

"Well, I understand. Don't worry, I will order this matter, and I will not let you down. Xiao He said respectfully.

Sure enough, as Lu Xiaoyu expected, as soon as Du Shangwu returned to the barracks, he told everyone about Lu Xiaoyu's deeds of being bold and stressing morality and credibility. Just in time to go to the front line to fight. Therefore, in the past two days, there has been an endless stream of soldiers who have come to the bank to save money.

Lu Xiaoyu already had the foresight to open a money bank in Yangzhou and Huiji, but the supply still exceeded demand, and the customers of the money bank were full every day.

Xiao He originally persuaded Lu Xiaoyu to continue to expand the scale, but he persuaded him. Now the foundation has not yet been established, and he will become a fat man in one go, and he can only survive to death as a result, and everything has to be done slowly.

Now Lu Xiaoyu Qianzhuang, cotton factory, cement factory, Caoyun and other businesses have swept the whole Wuyue, and from time to time they will give grain to help the poor. Lu Xiaoyu's next step is to start his own Chinese medicine store. Among the people, people say that there is a strange person in Guangling, and everything he does is a good thing for the country and the people. There is also a nursery rhyme on the street: "When the flood comes, the little fish stops." Beiyi retreated, and the world was safe. ”

When Lu Xiaoyu heard these words, he didn't care. He was afraid that the fox hiding in the depths of Wu Yue who colluded with the Khitan would poison himself if he knew of his existence. Fortunately, he knows that he now has a special identity, that is, Lei Biao, the Khitan general and official spokesman.

The day is approaching the night of the full moon of the fifteenth. In the past few days, Lu Xiaoyu pretended to be Lei Biao every day, sneaked into the back utility room of Deyue Building, and asked if the people from Nanchu had come to look for him. Unfortunately, there was no movement from the man. Therefore, Lu Xiaoyu could only wait quietly, and the true face of that person would be revealed on the night of the full moon.

At this time, in the palatial Qiantang hundreds of miles away from Guangling, in the secret room of the Wuyue Palace, which is comparable to the imperial palace, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe, a dignified body, and a dignified appearance sat on a dragon chair, looking down at the young man standing respectfully below, with a pair of eyes shooting cold stars, it seems that he can see through everyone's thoughts.

The young man was furious by him, and replied tremblingly: "The boy knows that he is wrong, last time I missed my father's important matter in a moment's prime, and this time I will definitely get the matter done, please rest assured."

That respectful young man was the man who had a quarrel with Lu Xiaoyu that day, that is, Xiong Shiren, the little prince of Wu Yue. And the father in his mouth is King Wu Yue, the current emperor's brother Xiong Hui. I saw him stand up, his body was straight, his chest was broad, and he had the majesty of being invincible, and what the years left on him was not vicissitudes, but a kind of kingly temperament.

He patted the young man's shoulder heavily, and Xiong Shiren clenched his fists. "Shiren, I have wronged you, I know that you are arrogant, let you bow to the Khitan and bow your waist to you are aggrieved. However, you have to remember that those who achieve great things need to be informal. Back then, my father was impulsive, and at the last moment, he provoked the emperor not to hide it, and saw that the world was all mine, but it ended up in vain. ”

"But, however, the Khitans actually claimed to be their father emperor and called us ...... I just can't swallow it. ”

"Hahaha, a manly man can bend and stretch, isn't it just to move his mouth, and all the Khitans want is a high hat. Hmph, when we stand firm on the other day, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Xiong Hui slapped the dragon chair heavily, and the chair was shaken to the point that it was about to fall apart.
