Qian Family Restaurant Backyard.

Qian Yuan listened to Liang Sheng's careful report in amazement. The matter was already in full swing. Many people went to watch the fun. The officials who had acquainted with Suiyuan also made a notice.

When he heard that Xu Fan's nose was beaten again three years later, even Zhang Juzheng was caught in this time. It is said that he was hit twice, but Qian Yuan was full of worries and couldn't help but want to laugh.

But when Qian Yuan knew that Lu Yipeng was beaten so hard that he could not get up, Xian Yu's face was blue and purple, and Lu Shude and Lin Feng were pressed to the ground. He was immediately furious, "Who is so cruel!"

Liang Sheng curled his lips and said, "The old man from the Xu family is said to be quite miserable, and later the servants of the Xu family also took action."

Qian Yuan immediately kicked Liang Sheng with a calves, "You are dead!"

"Before going to Beijing, Brother Yang instructed to be careful and not to be troubled by the young master."

"Is this called caution?" Qian Yuan shouted: "Yang Wen asked you to pretend to be a turtle?"

"Then..." Liang Sheng had a temptation in his eyes and was eager to try.

After whispering a few words, Qian Yuan turned back to the courtyard, pushed the door open and smiled, "Brother Ziwei, I'm sorry."

Sitting by the table was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had fair skin, high figure, and bright eyes, but he seemed to be talking too much, and he said lightly: "Zhan Cai is polite."

Although this person was not famous before this year, he was introduced to Prince Yu's Mansion as a lecturer this year by Gao Gong, so he was regarded as a future minister. He was Zhang Siwei, the first to be elected as a Shuji Shi.

Qian Yuan had met Zhang Siwei three years ago, but news of his mother's death came and he immediately returned home. Ding You, no matter how much his uncle Yang Bo led the Minister of War, and was honest in his filial piety in 27 months. It was not until the end of last year that he had to pay attention to the introduction of Prince Yu's Mansion at the beginning of this year.

Before today, Qian Yuan's impression of him mainly comes from his previous history books. He was a famous unlucky person... He swallowed his anger for more than ten years and brought tea to Zhang Juzheng every day. Once he was promoted to the throne, he made a large-scale liquidation, but his father had to go to mourn again. In the end, he had not yet made a filial piety period, and he died. He also died before the filial piety period was released, and he was temporarily in charge of Shen Shixing, who was temporarily in charge of the position of chief minister.

Moreover, because Zhang Siwei presided over the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng, later generations evaluated him as "Although the Taiyue Guardian is in the world, the crime is in himself, but the Fengpan Guardian is in himself and the crime is in the world."

But in just a quarter of an hour of conversation today, Qian Yuan’s impression of Zhang Siwei was that he was a taciturn person with strong self-control and seemed to be not very interested in anything.

This is completely contrary to Zhang Siwei's behavior after turning over in history. Qian Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Those who can leave a name in history... are really no one who can save money.

He was obviously curious about the reason why he went out, but he didn't ask about it. Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Nothing is big, it's just that Bomao and Brother Zizhi have a tangle with their colleagues. Hey, they actually started."

Zhang Siwei changed his mind. If it was an ordinary entanglement, why was he so anxious? It seemed that the matter was not small, or the other party was not small.

"I won't mention them anymore, it's better to learn a lesson." Qian Yuan raised his glass and said, "Just just now, when it comes to setting up shops in Zhenhai, many Jin people were rejected. Alas, there are pros and cons of business operations, but regardless of the pros and cons, their hometown is the first priority. The so-called village party, in fact, Jin people are the same."

"Yingxing Candy Shop was still in the hands of the Wang family in Taicang. Wang Minying was the governor of Ji Liao, and foreign candy could not be sold well in the Three Jins, so he had to use Shanxi merchants as an introduction."

Zhang Siwei smiled bitterly and raised his glass and said, "This matter is indeed inappropriate, but Yingxing Tang is now spread all over Jin."

Qian Yuan laughed and said nothing. Yingxing Candy Shop was released for many years, but he was unable to enter Shanxi and Shaanxi. He had to sell goods to Shanxi merchants. The profit was not high. Later, he was able to enter Shanxi because Wang Min Ying was imprisoned and died, and the shop was affiliated with Prince Yu's mansion.

The so-called commercial businesses are similar to the unofficial organization of a certain industry association in later generations. However, they had considerable power and power in the Ming Dynasty. They were mostly based on the township party and often domineering, raising prices, and even controlling the supply of goods.

Qian Yuan had a headache about this in the past two years, and he could not force it with official means. Later, he was able to use Hou Taoshan's battle to control it... The eight marine merchants that were destroyed were the most typical commercial banks, controlling the supply and operating prices.

Although there are competitions in the world, Zhejiang businessmen, Fujian businessmen, and Guangdong businessmen, they can be roughly classified into the same category, relying on the sea to eat. In addition, Yangzhou salt merchants, Susong, and some areas in Nanzhili are also well-known. The more special ones are Hui merchants... The leaders of Japanese pirates such as Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, and Xu Bixi are all from Huizhou, but these are deeply involved in the current booming sea trade, and only Shanxi merchants are excluded.

Although Shanxi merchants are very famous and powerful in the north, they are still unable to interfere in the sea trade. This piece of fat was targeted by them during the Zhengde period, but it seems to be close to you, but it is actually far away in the sky.

The main reason for this is that the Shanxi merchants were rejected by various forces in the southeast, and Zhang Siwei's Zhang family was the representative of the Shanxi merchants. After all, it is an era of official positions. The Zhang family, a wealthy merchant, has produced Zhang Siwei, and there are important officials such as Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu in their marriages.

Originally, he thought that Wang Chonggu, who happened to be working in the Southeast and had made frequent contributions, could become a key piece to open the breakthrough, but he did not expect that he would have little effect.

"Speaking of the 34th year of Jiajing, I was abducted by Japanese pirates. In the Taiping Prefecture, I ordered my uncle to lead troops to help. Qian remembered it. Although I didn't meet many times in the following years, I didn't stop interacting. Why did it happen?" Qian Yuan said in a tone of affection and complaint: "Isn't it just for a letter to come to Zhenhai?"

At the beginning of this year, Wang Chonggu wrote several letters to Zhejiang Governor Tan Lun over the incident of Shanxi merchants. The latter delayed several times until Qian Yuan entered the capital... In fact, this was Qian Yuan's private request.

This is a good bargaining chip, so Qian Yuan naturally needs to use it... especially after knowing that Zhang Siwei was introduced to Prince Yu's Mansion by Gao Gong in this life.

A rare smile appeared on Zhang Siwei's wooden face. After he returned to Beijing, he ran around several times. Later, he found Sun Piyang, a native of Shaanxi in the neighboring province, and the other party agreed to ask him... As a result, Qian Zhan had just returned to Beijing. On the first day, he paid homage to Yan's mansion and met with Xiyuan. He had a drink that night. On the second day, Sun Piyang sent him a post to invite him to the Qian's restaurant.

"It's a bit difficult to say, your uncle, my uncle..." Qian Yuan raised his glass and smiled: "Today I used my daughter's red. I bought it from the most famous restaurant in Shaoxing and brought it all the way to Beijing. Brother Ziwei can try it?"

Zhang Siwei smiled and raised her glass and drank it all, "The mouth is soft and gentle, and it is indeed extraordinary."

"I like Brother Ziwei, and my value will double in the future." Qian Yuan laughed and said, "In fact, it is indeed inappropriate to ask my uncle to write."

Before Zhang Siwei asked, Qian Yuan explained: "When he was recruited to pacify Wang Wufeng, Qian and Hu Zongxian went to Ligang in person."

"First discuss recruiting and pleading, Qian doesn't care, then discussing business, and avoiding Jixi outside, why?"

"Qian Mouyan, if you want to worship Buddha, you should worship the true Buddha."

Qian Yuan whispered: "The Southeast Business is a businessman, and Qian has just built it. Brother Xuefu can just send a letter. Why has he wasted his time so far?"

Zhang Siwei looked closely and said that he was very arrogant and could not help but be impressed... The governor of Zhejiang said that he was not as good as you?

Ding You didn't leave for three years. Although he often heard about major events in the court, he was not in the court after all. It was difficult for Zhang Siwei to imagine Qian Yuan's status in the southeast.

At least in terms of business, Tan Lun's words are really not as good as Qian Yuan.

Zhang Siwei looked up at the young official in front of him who was a few years younger than him. In his letter to his nephew, Wang Chonggu mentioned that if the people of Jin want to make progress in the southeast, they will definitely get the help of Longquan.

Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Xuefu is too disgusting..."

After several years of officialdom, Qian Yuan's face will not be red, and he can't tell the difference... Wang Chonggu's post has been sent to Qianzhai, Zhenhai seven or eight times.

After a pause, Qian Yuan's face changed, "Brother Ziwei, I didn't mean to take advantage of you..."
