Zhu Zhen said for granted: "Of course I got it from your Hu family. How could you not take good care of your good friends?"

Hu Lai automatically filtered the word "good friend" in Zhu Zhen's words and asked: "Where are those ordinary papers?"

Although the quality of those bamboo papers is a little worse, the output is large! Now it is just this workshop. It can be imagined that as long as the process is determined, Zhu Zhen will definitely increase the output. The profit here is not worse than that of top-quality bamboo paper! Moreover, the large-scale manufacturing of paper has greatly increased the status of the Hu family! Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't be greedy. If you give those bamboo paper of average quality to the rest of the aristocratic families, you can't eat it..." It is indeed very satisfying to put all the money in your pocket, but the eating habits are too ugly, which inevitably leads to envy and jealousy.

The Hu family does not have to be the past now. Even if they can sell these bamboo papers to various parts of Jiangnan after their strength is greatly damaged, it is inevitable that they will attract hostility from other families.

Moreover, Hu Lai also understood that Zhu Zhen planned to use huge profits to gradually disintegrate the alliance in Huainan, not only to disintegrate the hostility and constraints of various families towards him, but also to subdue him one by one and use it for his own use.

This is a big game of differentiation and win-win, which largely determines whether Zhu Zhen’s strategy in Huai'an can be achieved. He naturally does not take it seriously at all.

Hu Lai sincerely respects it.

How old is Zhu Zhencai?

Even such a young man has already transcended the category of money and enjoyment and has begun to climb to the highest level of life. He has long been ahead of most of his peers and has a bright future.

And what about yourself?

Hu Lai was sad, his originally excited expression quickly became weak and his spirits were depressed...??＊?＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊�

Although the Zhang family has gone through the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties and is not famous in Jiangnan, its family has a long history and has mixed interests among the wealthy families in Jiangnan, and it has become a giant.

The luxurious mansion in front of me took countless manpower and material resources to show the prosperity of the Zhang family.

But the Zhang family knew that even if the Zhang family's strength had reached a higher level, it would not be able to shake the Liu family's status for the time being.

The reason is nothing else, just because the Zhang family wants to take that step by itself and does not be loyal to any hero, and the Liu family has taken one step ahead in this regard.

The breeze blows outside the window and the leaves sway.

For more than a decade, the sycamore trees planted back then have all grown into vegetation, with lush branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun, and the straight trunks of seven or eight feet high, with lush leaves and deep roots. In summer, they can be connected into a stretch of green shade, which can protect the relatives of the clan who are fighting under the trees and crickets.

However, the descendants of the Zhang family, except for themselves, failed to become like a sycamore tree... Zhang Sugong sighed depressedly.

The rise of success in the officialdom is by no means possible by chance that a stunning talent can be achieved. It requires the accumulation of connections from generation to generation and the efforts of countless tribes.

Unfortunately, since the Yuan people entered the Central Plains, the Zhang family has been in a slump. They wanted to become officials in the court, but the Yuan people did not give any chance at all. After several generations of family members worked hard to manage, but now they are in chaos, and the family business is least affected and prospers again.

However, although wealth is easy to obtain, fame and fortune are really rare. In recent years, the Zhang family has successively produced several officials, but they are just minor officials in the prefecture and are still unable to be promoted.

If you cannot make a sound in the court, you cannot be regarded as a prominent clan and will have a crisis of being replaced at any time. The richer you are, the more likely it is to cause disasters... Therefore, the Zhang family would rather risk the extermination of the clan than do something big.

If the orphans of the Song Dynasty royal family are promoted to the throne, as long as they succeed, no one in the world will remember Han Liner. At that time, the Zhang family, as a minister of the dragon, will become the most powerful family in the world. As long as they have been carefully managed for decades, they will lay the foundation of a family that has been passed down for thousands of years! In the face of such a great achievement, any danger is worth it! Opposite Zhang Sugong, an old man in a garbled shirt sat.

The old man is over 70 years old, but has a childish face and a pair of long white eyebrows that have a bit of a fairy-like appearance.

At this time, I sat firmly and sipped the tea in the white jade tea cup, with a leisurely mind and a complete outlook.

Zhang Sugong pointed at the invitation on the coffee table with his finger and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Qian, what do you think of this matter?"

The old man Qian moved his white eyebrows, opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Sugong lightly, and said sneeringly: "Is there any need to ask?"

It's obvious! Zhu Zhen'er is best at making money. She not only knows how to make money, but also knows how to use money to buy people's hearts.

Everyone loves money, so this trick is directed to people's hearts and has been tried and done."

Zhang Sugong smiled bitterly and said, "I naturally knew that Zhu Zhen's intention was to throw out a so-called salt field to disintegrate the alliance of the Huai'an family.

But as Mr. Qian said, everyone loves money. Who can not be moved when facing such benefits that Zhu Zhen promised?

Ask Mr. Qian to teach me how to deal with it?"

The invitation on the coffee table was Zhu Zhen invited Huai'an Family to discuss the investment in the salt field.

In the invitation, Zhu Zhen explained the profits that the salt farm can obtain one by one. Each salt farm earns hundreds of thousands of taels per year. Even Zhang Sugong was jealous of other aristocratic families.

There is no doubt that as long as Zhu Zhen’s plan is successful, when the Huaian clans invest one by one, the alliance of the Huaian clans will definitely disappear and disappear.

How can Zhang Sugong not be in a hurry?

If you want to be a hero in the dragon, even if you have already contacted many people secretly, if you want to make some noise in Huai'an to let those people see their hope of success, you have to unite the Huai'an family! Otherwise, what's wrong with Zhu Zhen even if it's a war?

You should know that Jiangnan is not only Zhu Zhen, but also Zhang Shicheng, and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Relying on the strength of a family alone, it is really a lonely force and a big deal that cannot be accomplished...? Mr. Qian heard this and gently placed the teacup on the tea table and sighed: "Zhu Zhen's move is an open conspiracy.

He told all the Huaian families openly that if they want to develop and benefit, they should follow me! On the contrary, if they are against me, they should not only completely cut off the sea trade, but also the salt-boiled industry that relied heavily on the past.

Unless you can take greater benefits to save people's hearts, you can't imagine it."

?Zhang Sugong seemed to rely deeply on Mr. Qian, and said anxiously after hearing this: "Then just watch Zhu Zhen divide the Huaian family one by one?

If so, our major events will be severely damaged. When will we achieve our wish?"

In fact, there is one sentence that Zhang Sugong didn't say.

?The reason why the Zhang family was able to accumulate capital so quickly became a new force was because of the huge profits of sea trade and sea salt.

??Zhu Zhen came to Jiangnan to prepare for the construction of the Maritime Warehouse Department, and the land in Lianyungang is being leveled, brick kilns are everywhere, and there are also unknown "cement plants" newly built along the river, with a prosperous and rapid progress.

When the Maritime Bureau was established, all maritime trade would be under its jurisdiction, and most of the profits would be taken away by the court, so the Zhang family would be considered a broken leg.

smuggling?

Then you have to face the powerful combat power of the Royal Navy... Smuggling is not bad, but you have to take great risks.

The Huaian Navy in Haizhou wiped out all the bandits Hoshino Ichiro from Haizhongzhou in one day. The record of eliminating roots has already caused a sensation in Jiangnan. New ships in the shipyard have laid keels one after another, and elite soldiers and generals drawn from all over the place are about to arrive, and the strength of the navy is increasing day by day.

When the scale of the navy reaches more than 20,000, it is enough to traverse the East China Sea and be invincible.

In this case, smuggling is obviously an extremely unwise move. Once the navy is targeted, the consequences will be unimaginable... "Look at Zhu Zhen's actions, since he won the Battle of Huoshan, he has fought and pulled, the Hu family, Liu family, Wang family... all have turned from hostility to seek cooperation, and can put aside prejudice and abandon grudges, and merged the originally impregnable Huai'an family into pieces. It's really not easy."

Mr. Qian seemed to appreciate Zhu Zhen’s actions, and he looked very proud of his words.

This made Zhang Sugong extremely unhappy and couldn't have an attack again... "Hmph, although Zhu Zhen was cunning, he was just a child who was not as good as the one who was weak.

I guess this time, I invited Huai'an family and merchants to Lianyungang, and I probably wanted to play his trick of "auction"."

Zhang Sugong said angrily.

Zhu Zhen also held auctions before, but they were all in Yingtian and Xuyi. At that time, Zhu Zhen was not famous and was relatively small in scale. The auction was just to raise money, so it was not known to the world.

But Zhang Sugong knew a little.

However, although he slandered his words, he was quite impressed by Zhu Zhen's methods. It was just that this trick of "the higher ones get it" could maximize the benefits.

Thinking about the profits of this salt, as long as Zhu Zhen auctioned it, it would be more than a few million taels. If these million taels were given to the Zhang family, it would be enough for the Zhang family to do a big career. Although it would just think about it in his heart, Zhang Sugong was filled with envy and jealousy.

Mr. Qian sighed softly: "It's not time for me... Zhu Zhen is now very powerful, so he can only wait and see the changes. It's not too late to lie in the dormant for a while before making any more mistakes.

I have been waiting for so many years, so why bother to hurry up?

The old man was not in a hurry at the moment, and Mr. Zhang also had to calm his mind.

The so-called small unbearableness will cause big plans. If Zhu Zhen has the opportunity to take advantage of it, that would be really bad."

Zhang Sugong did not agree with this.

Tolerate?

It's easy to say, but it's harder to do.

The Zhang family relies on nothing more than sea trade and sea salt. The prospects of sea trade are worrying. Now that Zhu Zhen has created such a salt farm, who knows whether it will have an impact on the Zhang family’s salt cooking?

It would be fine if the salt price only increased in output and caused a decline in salt prices. After all, the salt profit is rich, so I don’t care about this.

But if Zhu Zhen is under the guise of the so-called salt field, but is actually thinking about the reeds in the Zhang family, it will be a big trouble! Without reeds as fuel, how can you cook the sea for salt?

The salt-making method that has been passed down for thousands of years can he change it with a single doll?

Zhang Sugong didn't believe it. He always believed that Zhu Zhen wanted to attack the Zhang family's reed marshes and had to be careful.
