Chapter 695: The Difficulty of Tzuyu(1/2)
"Meng Jian? When did you come back?"
When Jia Qiang came back from the garden, he heard from him that Xue Pan was waiting in the front hall.
When Jia Qiang walked to the south hall, he saw Xue Pan chatting with an old friend casually.
But this old friend is still wearing filial piety...
The visitor was Wang Shouzhong, the young owner of the former Hang Seng Buqi, and a business genius.
It was just that a massacre of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong killed the Wang family of Langya and burned the fire to emptied it.
Now, the Wang family only has the long house in Beijing, but their second house is gone...
Wang Shouzhong lost weight a lot, looked vicissitudes, and smiled with a forced smile: "It was not supposed to be the first to wear mourning, but I heard from Wenlong that Ning Hou was also in filial piety and had to fight each other, so he took the initiative to come to the door."
Jia Qiang stepped forward and patted Wang Shouzhong on the shoulder and said, "I'll call him the same as before. Meng Jian was my old friend when I was poor and humble, so there is no need for a heretic. Meng Jian, be mourning and following the changes!"
Wang Shouzhong sighed infinitely when he heard this. This time, except for Xue Pan, who was known as a big fool, who was still close to him, many of his old friends used to treat him too coldly.
Not to mention others, even the Wang family’s parents’ house, there are people who blame their second wife for not protecting the big house.
After he came back this time, the identity of the owner of the Hang Seng was deprived of...
Family affection?
Oh, how could this happen among the great families?
However, I don’t expect that it’s not just Xue Pan, but even the noble and popular Jia Qiang is still treating him as he did in the past.
For a moment, Wang Shouzhong's eyes became hot, his nose was sore, and his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.
Xue Pan was very satisfied when he saw Jia Qiang doing this and felt that he had not made friends. When he saw Wang Shouzhong turn his head and feels very painful, he also cursed with empathy and said, "Don't let Mr. Xue hit him, otherwise he would beat their dog heads to avenge Brother Wang!"
Jia Qiang reminded: "The White Lotus Sect is dead and clean."
Xue Pan sighed regretfully: "What a pity!! It's really my lifelong feeling!"
Wang Shouzhong had already restrained his emotions and couldn't help but smile and said, "Wenlong is a regret in his life."
Xue Pan smacked his lips and said, "No matter whether he feels a tyrannical feeling or regret, don't call me the one with the surname Bai!"
Jia Qiang ignored the stuff and called Wang Shouzhong to sit down, and said, "I have learned about the situation in Shandong in detail. The second son of your eldest son is too arrogant. He dares to buy and hoard food for the disaster victims at a low price, and plans to sell it to the victims at a high price. He uses it to merge land and keep servants and maids. Is this what the Wang family in Langya should do? The White Lotus Sect specifically chose your six families to do it because they know that the eight things that your six families have done. Otherwise, why is the Meng family in Zoucheng okay? On Qingwang? The Meng family is just a little lower than the Kong family?"
Before Wang Shouzhong said anything, Xue Pan was dissatisfied with this. He said, "Brother Qiang, why are you still talking to the White Lotus Sect? You can't turn your elbow outward..."
Jia Qiang looked at him coldly and said, "Where are you in front of big troubles?"
Xue Pan was a little afraid of his description, so he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say more, but Jia Qiang then looked a little softer, and said to Wang Shouzhong: "However, the second house of the Wang family is really wronged. The big house controls the Wang family's ancestral home and the farm, and the second house only controls the Hang Seng number? It's considered that it was affected by the fish of the pond."
Wang Shouzhong sighed, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Reselling food for relief? It was a serious crime to be punished for the nine clans. And the silver used to buy grain was originally paid by the second house... Who can I blame for the second house if I end up in this situation? The White Lotus Sect has been destroyed. God's will? If you want to blame, it's a bit strange...ah."
Xue Pan understood and cursed: "The group of Wangba in your big house has caused your second house so much. Now he has taken away the Hang Seng and swept you out. I fucked his grandma. It's such a bunch of big horse monkeys!"
Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Isn't the Hang Seng property of your second house?"
Wang Shouzhong shook his head and said, "It is an official business and a family. Now my family is in Beijing. My son is only two years old and he is not responsible. The eldest house is afraid that I will not be too busy, so he asked me to mourn for three years first..."
Jia Qiang sneered: "The prescriptions of the Hang Seng are all in Shandong? Your cloth is dyed there before transporting them to Beijing along the canal. The sun in Shandong is good, the wind is good, and it is easy to dry. The dyeing craftsmen and workers of the Wang family use their own children to give birth, but the prescriptions are leaked. Now that the fire is burned out, the Hang Seng in other places, even if there is still some "storage of grain", how long can it last? Just give you a wizard of weaving and dyeing world, and the collapse of the Hang Seng is just around the corner. In fact, it is not counted as this, and the Wang family has not had a few days left. Wang Shiying, hey!"
The Wang family's fortune was looted by the White Lotus Sect and was later seized by Lin Ruhai's troops. The court planned to use the money and grain to provide relief. However, the Minister of Rites Wang Shiying and Minister of Works Cui Shiming, the two "victims" were clamoring to take back the property, grain and rice of each family.
It also clamored that the Qingliu in the capital was causing trouble. It was not until the ancient style of Kong's family that he wanted to donate all his wealth to seek "peace of poverty and enjoy the way" that the noise in the capital became less.
But Wang and Cui have not given up, and have even repeatedly visited Lin Ruhai to ask for explanations recently.
However, Han Bin has asked the Censorate to impeach the case of the two companies reselling, stealing and selling relief grain, and there are only a few days to go around.
But once he was asked for guilt, Wang Shouzhong was afraid that he would be implicated again...
Jia Qiang said this in a concealed manner and finally advised: "Meng Jian, go to Yangzhou to help me. After Dongsheng fell, Zhao Bo'an from the Zhao family was also there. He is proficient in weaving, printing and dyeing. You are the top talent in operating cloth numbers. You two are a perfect match for you! We not only sell the cloth and satin of the Delin family all over the Dayan, but also to the West!"
Wang Shouzhong was a little moved when he heard this. He was just a young man after all, so why didn’t he have great ambitions?
But... he shook his head and said, "How can I run away alone at this time..."
Jia Qiang smiled angrily and said, "You are too loyal. Don't run away alone. You are called keeping a lineage for the Wang family of Langya to stop cutting off. Even if you don't think about yourself, you must always think about your two-year-old son and your wives and concubines. Meng Jian, you can take it and let it go, and if you break it, you will be indomitable and will be a real man!"
Xue Pan also advised: "Meng Jian, go. If you are implicated by your big house, you will be arrested and beheaded and exiled. That will be the end! Brother Qiang is right, and you should think about your son! Let me tell you that Yangzhou is very comfortable, and the sister on the Slender West Lake is much better than the capital!"
After all, Wang Shouzhong looked at Xue Pan, then looked at Jia Qiang, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let me listen to you!"
"Then let's clean up as soon as possible this afternoon and leave in the evening. You don't have to bring anything, there are everything there, it's a long night and a lot of dreams."
Jia Qiang suggested that soldiers should be fast.
Wang Shouzhong thought it was too fast, but when he remembered Jia Qiang's current identity, even he said this, he really didn't dare to stay any longer.
...
After seeing off Wang Shouzhong and sending two people to assist him in moving to Yangzhou, Xue Pan followed Jia Qiang back to Xiangnan Hall.
Jia Qiang looked at him and said wonderingly: "Brother Xue has something to do?"
Xue Pan curled his lips and said, "It's just that I have nothing to do, so I'm relying on you. Brother Qiang, won't you think I'm annoyed?"
Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Isn't you preparing for a marriage? Why are you still having nothing to do?"
Xue Pan wailed, "Where do you need me? My mother is in charge of me now. She follows seven or eight people at any time when she goes out. When she encounters some movement, she will drag me home, for fear that she will be beaten to the bed again. For a moment, it is not awkward to go out, so she simply won't go out. Brother Qiang, you will go to the Xia family to receive a chasing tomorrow. Don't forget. My mother has prepared all the things for Lao Shizi Jiahe, donkey-hide gelatin, Jiuzipu, Zhuwei, Double Stone, cotton wool... but hehe, there are still twenty pieces of Yunjin."
Seeing Jia Qiang look over, Xue Pan hurriedly said, "My mother said, buy it at the price, give it real money and silver. I will never learn from the two pretentious products from the historians, just thinking about plotting against you!"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "What are you talking about! You have to use some Yunjin when you get married, and you have to pay me the money? You go back first, I have something to do when I go out. I will send someone to pick up Yunjin and send it to Xianger Hutong. The morning after tomorrow, I will go to your house and go to the Xia family to collect the bidding."
Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was still not in a hurry to leave and said, "Now you are the only one in your house, you are alone, so I want to go home together? My sister is at home!"
Jia Qiang raised his foot and tried to kick it, and scolded, "I really have something to do. Brother Xue will go home first and go when I have free time."
When Xue Pan heard this, he ran away with a strange smile.
That's right, his sister, a fairy, can also be regarded as a god and fairy, and Jia Qiang is not a eunuch, so he doesn't believe it and won't be moved!
After Xue Pan left, Jia Qiang politely declined the kindness of Youshi's sending someone to invite him for lunch and took him to Zhuchao Street.
...
Feng'anfang, Yin's family.
On Xuanci Hall.
After Jia Qiang entered the door, he saw Li Xuan sitting there with tea at first sight. After glanced at him, he greeted the wife of the Yin family who was smiling on the soft couch on the high platform and asked Li Xuan: "Why is the prince here again?"
Li Xuan, who had been looking at him with his eyes hanging, spat fiercely when he heard this: "Bah! This is the one who is here to ask you? If you don't do your job well, why are you coming to my grandmother's house again?"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Do you care about me!"
Sun, the second wife of the Yin family, smiled and said, "Everyone said you two are good, even more close than your brothers. Who would like to fight as soon as they meet?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Today, let's take a look at the old lady and the two wives. The fifth brother is now running around for the car ride outside. If you have anything to solve at home, don't be polite to the old lady and the two wives."
Before the Yin family’s wife and Qin family could speak, Li Xuan sneered, “Without a master here, can you still need to be there?”
"Wu'er!"
Mrs. Yin Jia Tai said, "Even if you are a very good friend, you must be at a proper level."
Li Xuan immediately complained when he heard this: "Grandma, you don't know how treacherous this kid! He has caused me to suffer!"
The wife of the Yin family said "yo", looked at him, then looked at Jia Qiang who was smiling, and asked, "Qian'er is a good child, how could he harm you?"
Li Xuan glanced at Jia Qiang in resentment and said, "He dug a lot of pit for me! Have my grandmother heard of the money house in the Internal Affairs Office?"
The wife of the Yin family smiled and said, "I really heard that Brother Hao's daughter-in-law and her parents' family, and several other relatives, have sent someone to ask about this matter, and I have persuaded them all to leave. These things are not something that ordinary people should think about. Why, but there are too many people looking for you? This is a good thing!"
Qin also smiled and said, "Now the money house that suddenly came out is more lively than the story of the saints of Qufu, Shandong. It's strange. Could Brother Qiang really be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth? I haven't seen anything. I heard that this is the only saying, and I was quarreled and said this everywhere."
Li Xuan was "disturbed" by Jia Qiang and explained: "How can I win the shadow? The thief outside is more sophisticated than the monkey. Who would pay for the money? The other person said that the coal mines in Xishan have begun to be sealed and rectified in the past two days. In the future, only the Ministry of Internal Affairs can sell a little. With this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a foundation. Such a good thing can be passed down from generation to generation and can be born together with the Tian family. How can the outside world not be anxious? It is not considered that Jia Qiang can do it!"
Sun smiled and said, "It's okay if you can't calculate it. It's too popular, it's not a good thing."
Jia Qiang hurriedly got up to receive the teachings. Sun smiled and waved his hand. After he asked him to sit down, he heard Li Xuan complain: "Oh, those old men in the royal family have been staying in the royal palace these two days and have not even left at night."
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Are you just selling it to them?"
Li Xuan jumped and said, "You're so light! You've never seen those old men's styles! You want money stocks, but the money wants to be owed on credit first, and then fill it up after the dividends are paid."
Jia Qiang pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Is there really such a thing?"
Li Xuan stopped scolding, slumped on the chair and said, "The princess has returned to her parents' home to raise her baby. I'm going to hide from her grandmother... Jia Qiang, you have to come up with a way! It's all your fault!"
Jia Qiang sneered and said, "If you don't give money, you're dreaming! What else can you think of?"
Li Xuan said "tsk" and made a "Ge You paralyzed". After being hit by a melon seed by the wife of the Yin family, she laughed apologized and said, "I'm so angry that I forgot, grandma, don't be upset, it's not that I'm disrespectful to you!"
The wife of the Yin family laughed and scolded: "Okay, you monkey, just say serious things."
After Li Xuan responded, he sat upright and said to Jia Qiang: "It's not that they don't give it to you, but that there is no one next to the palace except the land. My master told them, "There's land to sell it." But they insisted that no one dared to buy the land in the palace! My master thought about it later. They must have wanted to sell it sincerely, so naturally no one dared to sell it. Whoever bought it? Will it be disgusting to go to the palace again in a while? Who dares to buy it? Jia Qiang, think of a way quickly, otherwise I won't do this errand! Now I have a family to go back!"
Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "It's easy. I'll discount all their land, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will collect it!"
Li Xuan was shocked and said, "What does the Ministry of Internal Affairs collect so much land? If you build all the royal villages, you will not be able to pay dividends for them in a year."
Jia Qiang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, when did I have a loss-making business? Use the capital to offset the land and collect it at the market price. After the collection, I have my own plans. The Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot just focus on making money, otherwise the sour scholars in the court will definitely be jealous and impeach us to compete for profit with the people. Therefore, we must make great contributions to make them shut up! These lands are used to do this."
Li Xuan was not stupid either. He guessed it as soon as he heard it and said, "It is said that there will be a severe drought in the past two years. Do you want to farm and stock up on some food? After planting all these lands, Guangchushi is enough, but what can you do?"
To be continued...
