Chapter 430 Zhang Family Shuangbi
Compared with the pragmatic and taciturn Ru Taisu and Fang Keqin who is dedicated to serving the people, Yang Xun has a somewhat feminine personality and lacks rules in doing things. However, he is most loved by Zhu Zhen, second only to Zhang Dashe, who has never left Zhu Zhen.
Because this Yang Xun is really easy to use.
Don’t blame the monarch for using treacherous ministers. It’s really a treacherous minister often works better than loyal ministers.
Zhu Zhen had just a look, and Yang Xun realized what Zhu Zhen meant.
Cooking salt is the biggest business of the Zhang family. Zhu Zhen created such a salt farm, so how could the Zhang family not pay attention to it?
Although in fact, each family is on the sideliness about the profits of more than one million taels per year that Zhu Zhen threatened, and believes that he is just talking nonsense, based on Zhu Zhen's ability, the aristocratic family still believes that there is still a profit of hundreds of thousands of taels.
However, in this way, the Zhang family's salt-cooking business will inevitably suffer a huge impact. The most obvious thing is that the surge in the production of sea salt will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in the price of sea salt. How can the Zhang family sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and remain indifferent?
Huai'an's current stability is actually very fragile. Everyone is not afraid of the Zhang family doing a real sword and gun, but they are afraid of the Zhang family stabbing the knife behind their backs. As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid open guns, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.
There is no secret in this acre of three-part land in Huai'an.
The marriage, alliance, and master-apprentice relationship between various families made the relationship between Huai'an complicated and the same spirit. Within just a few days, news that Zhu Zhen rebuilt a salt field in Huai'an and improved the old method of drying salt began to spread in Huai'an, and even began to spread to the entire Jiangnan.
In the end, the entire Jiangnan began to vibrate.
The rebel army was in full force at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but in fact, the business of merchants was also very big in history.
Since the legendary Susha family pioneered the use of sea water to boil salt, which is known in history as "Shusha is used to boil salt", the method of boiling salt of "take braised and burned firewood to boil salt" has been passed down from generation to generation, and is the most important way nowadays.
The method of salt drying has been around for a long time, but it has been difficult to widely promote due to restrictions on conditions.
Because the beach is really not suitable for salting.
But now Zhu Zhen actually said that the salt drying method has been improved, which is much better than the previous method.
If this is true, it can be said to be a heavy blow to the families that make their salt-making business! So, when Zhu Zhen’s “recruitment” of the salt field was released and he invited all major families in Huai'an, almost all families in Jiangnan who were involved in Haiyan were sent to Qu County to find out the truth.
Even if you can't get a piece of the pie from Zhu Zhen, you have to figure out the whole story... Qu County under construction in the Heat, aristocratic families gathered in an instant.
Of course, the Zhang family is indispensable.
The Zhang family attaches great importance to Zhu Zhen’s behavior of finding a subcontractor this time.
Many outstanding Zhang family members were sent.
The person in charge is Zhang Sugong, who is currently in power in the Zhang family, who is directly overwhelming in Zhang Suqing.
Zhang Suqing and Zhang Sugong had a very good relationship, but they didn't live together. After Zhu Zhen rose in Huai'an this time, Zhang Suqing was unwilling to fight against Zhu Zhen too much. On the contrary, Zhang Sugong was always very persistent in this matter and gradually received attention from the family.
However, Zhang Sugong did not despise his brothers at all because of his rise, and even the feelings between the brothers became increasingly harmonious.
Because Zhang Sugong knew in his heart that once something went wrong, Zhang Suqing would be his or her family's retreat.
Even Zhang Suqing mentioned more than once that if the family is in trouble due to him, Zhang Suqing must take his head to join Zhu Zhen.
From Lianyungang to the river, they went straight to Qu County. The transmission was slow. The Zhang family members stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the straits. The flat areas on the shore were all flat, rows of red bricks and blue brick tiled houses rose from the ground. The craftsmen shuttled back and forth, and under the command of officials, they worked hard and cried from time to time.
“Since entering Lianyungang, this situation has been very different from before.
Although Zhu Zhen may not be able to compare with us in his eighth life in his eighth life, in terms of talent, we have to convince this uncle. Our Huaian history is quite long, but there are never talented and capable officials like Zhu Zhen. Look at it, if such a huge project is not carefully and detailed, it will inevitably be a mess. But look at it, there are so many craftsmen on this construction site, but each place is well organized, with a large number of people but not chaotic. Those "the red brick houses are not known for their purpose, but they are obviously divided and distributed. The workers in each area perform their duties, do not interfere with each other and compete with each other. Zhu Zhen does have the talent to save the world, and of course it has a lot to do with his military career, but this is also an advantage after all.
Our Zhang family and those Huai'an families have not been able to get any benefits in their hands for many times, and it is not because there is no reason."
The more family affairs Zhang Suqing comes into contact with, the more he is not overwhelmed by the complicated affairs. Instead, because of the changes in identity and status, he becomes more mature and charming.
The whole body was filled with a steady aura.
Zhang Suqing hid in the crowd, but after some disguise, she looked like she didn't look sharp.
As for the other Zhang family, they were much worse. One of them was very upset when he heard Zhang Sugong praise Zhu Zhen so much, and he said bluntly, "Why should brother improve the ambition of others and destroy his own majesty?
Just a pig or dog-like Ying Tian’s lackey. With his military power and a bunch of fighting eagles under his command, he thought he could run rampant in Huai'an?"
In the eyes of many Zhang family members, Zhu Zhen’s biggest reliance was his strong military power. If there were no army, the Huai'an family would have driven him away long ago.
Zhang Suqing smiled when he heard this. This time, Mr. Zhang Su was the main one, so he naturally didn't want to speak.
However, Zhang Sugong smiled bitterly and said warmly: "As a child of the Zhang family, you must naturally have a pride, but you cannot keep your pride in your heart. That is conceit.
A conceited person has short-sighted eyes and cannot see other people's strengths. He is prone to blind self-confidence and suffers from the consequences of his own.
Zhu Zhen was able to turn defeat into victory in Huoshan and escape from heaven, and immediately destroyed the Zhao family, and then suppressed the Huai'an family repeatedly. It can be seen that he did not rely solely on the army, but his wisdom and scheming were all outstanding people in the world.
If you are despised and disrespectful to our orders, please go home immediately to reflect on your study.”
After speaking, his tone gradually changed.
The Zhang family members who were so scared that they seemed quite in a situation just now that they immediately became frowning, "Don't! Brothers, brothers, you are all following your leader.
You can do whatever you say. If you ask me to go back to study, it would be better to kill me with one knife..." A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhang Sugong's eyes. These fence-breasted family children are really unreliable.
He finally understood Su Qing's worries. The Zhang family had been in Huai'an for too long, and their descendants had not inherited their future, but this arrogance had been inherited for almost 10 years.
If you really care about Zhu Zhen, you will suffer a loss.
While speaking, the Zhang family's merchant ship had already docked.
Lianyungang Wharf is already the most prosperous central area in Qu County.
On the other side of the pier is the navy military port, shipyard, and countless laborers and craftsmen are busy and thriving.
The two sides of the shore are like clouds, countless cargo ships and warships are coming and going, where is there any desolate and barrenness of the past?
This time, even the children of the aristocratic families who had spoken rudely before, all put down their contempt.
Everyone thought to themselves that even if they handed over Huai'an to them, they would not be able to build Qu County into this.
You should know that the aristocratic family occupied Huaian for hundreds of years, and even if the wealth of the aristocratic family accumulated, they could not achieve anything. However, Zhu Zhen occupied Huaian for less than a year, so it was already like this.
Who is more capable can be seen at a glance.
On the dock, officials from Qu County were waiting to receive visitors from various families. When they saw the Zhang brothers walking off the boat, they immediately went up and said with a smile: "But the young talents of the Zhang family are here?"
Zhang Sugong clasped his fists and smiled, "That's right, Zhang Sugong came to discuss the salt field at the invitation of Mr. Wang. I don't know where I am now?"
This is the style he learned from Zhang Suqing. He will never be disrespectful because of the low position of the officials in front of him. He has complete etiquette and elegant demeanor, making people feel as if they are bathed in the spring breeze.
In the past, Zhang Sugong could never do this.
But when he approached his brother's position, he realized how important this mentality is.
In fact, Zhu Zhen’s arrival is indeed forcing many people to make progress unconsciously.
The name of Zhang Sugong, who was naturally smiling at the official, was the young man who had already made his name in Huai'an. In recent days, he has become famous in Huai'an. Together with Zhang Suqing, he is known as the Zhang family, and even his reputation has vaguely surpassed Zhang Suqing.
The modesty and the style of the family members of Zhang Sugong are even more admirable.
Faced with Zhang Sugong's courtesy, the official was quite flattered and quickly said, "Young Master is a young man. My uncle has already told me that if someone comes from each family, please go to the police station immediately."
Zhang Sugongci clasped his fists and said, "In this way, brother Lao will lead the way."
The official hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "This is my duty, Mr. Zhang, please!"
With the left hand, you can lead the way freely.
I feel very frustrated to Zhang Sugong's courtesy and gentle demeanor, and I think that only such a person can be worthy of the title of Zhang's double walls...
