Jiangdu is Yangzhou in later generations.

Since Lao Yang built a canal and a canal throughout the world, communication between the north and the south has become smooth and transportation has become increasingly close, which has promoted the commercial development of Jiangdu.

Merchants are in constant contact.

Many wealthy merchants appeared, buying low and selling high through the canal built by Lao Yang, making huge profits.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lao Yang is the reborn parent of merchants all over the world.

From the perspective of future generations, if the world wants to develop, transportation will definitely be the first priority.

If he seizes the world in the future, he will inevitably build a canal road like Lao Yang.

Well... it's just that the road he built should be called a highway or a railway at that time.

But those are still too far away.

What he needs to face now is Yu Culture and from Jiangdu.

Yu Wensheng, the grandson of Yu Wensheng, the upper pillar country of Northern Zhou, and the eldest son of Yu Wenshu, the right guard of the Great Sui Dynasty. He had a close relationship with Yang Guang since childhood.

After explaining all the incidents, Xu Mu took a boat and spent two days to arrive in Jiangdu City through Tongji Canal. When he first arrived, something happened in Jiangdu.

The Hundred Thousand Xiaoguo Army, because they were stranded in Jiangdu for too long, were anxious and restless, and there were many changes in the army. So... According to the original history, Pei Ju, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, wrote a letter to Xu Guogong Yu, and requested...

Give 100,000 soldiers a uniform distribution of wives.

In order to appease the soldiers, Yu Wenhe agreed to his suggestion.

For a time, all the single dog soldiers in Jiangdu City were respectful and grateful to Pei Ju.

...

This time, Xu Mu also brought one hundred Tiefutu soldiers and bought a village near Tongji Canal outside Jiangdu City.

It is named Songzhuang.

The reason I bought this farm is because there are many mulberry trees planted inside this farm, which is a cloth farm.

Xu Mu happened to use this name to sell cloth.

But now all the businesses in the capital of Jiang are controlled by Yu Wen Zhiji's younger brother.

Yuwen Zhi and this person are famous bullies in Jiangdu City. They robbed the women of the people and committed many evil deeds. They have always been despised by the people of Jiangdu.

But who made...he serves as the chief supervisor?

After learning about it, Xu Mu found that the situation of merchants in Jiangdu City was extremely complicated.

It is not like Luoyang, because Yang Tong is here, and the politics is still clear. Although Duan Da and others are in a bad way, they dare not do anything randomly on the surface.

But in Jiangdu, the Yuwen family firmly controlled the lifeline of merchants in Jiangdu with the position of Yuwen Zhi and the position of being a young supervisor.

He will serve as a supervisor, mainly responsible for the production of palace buildings, gold, jade, pearls, jade, rhino and elephant treasures, silk, satin, exquisite utensils, etc.

After Yuwen Zhiji took office as a junior supervisor, he extended his scope of responsibility to various areas of huge profits.

In Jiangdu City, merchants who travel from south to north must pass his level if they want to operate.

Only by submitting 3,000 guan can you do business in Jiangdu.

With Yuwen Shu's favor, the Yuwen family was extremely ugly in Jiangdu City.

And this time, because Fan Zhu was responsible for Luoyang's business, Xu Mu did not bring him.

He only brought Wang Zhao and... a confidant of Sun Ying.

It can be said that this time, if Xu Mu wants to attack Jiangdu, the difficulty of starting the game is simply hell.

If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by the Yuwen family.

"It seems we can't let the cloth go first."

After understanding the complete situation, Xu Mu decided to hold his troops and start from another direction.

If Duan Da’s similar situation occurs in Luoyang City, he will not be able to compete with the 100,000 Xiaoguo Army.

"Ling Qian, how did the letter be delivered?" In Songzhuang, Xu Mu looked at a honest man in coarse cloth.

His name is Ling Qian, and he is the confidant recommended by Sun Ying.

Before coming to Jiangdu, Xu Mu asked Sun Ying to write a letter to Pei Qiantong.

That is... the boss who was once Dugu Sheng.

Originally, Pei Qiantong and Dugu Sheng guarded Yangcheng, but were attacked by Li Mi. Pei Qiantong led his troops to escape that night and defected to Sima Dekan, the general of Wu Ben Lang in Jiangdu City.

Nowadays, Sun Ying is the Duke of Yangcheng and has a great reputation. Xu Mu is thinking of using Sun Ying's signature to deceive... Cough cough, invade the Xiaoguo Army.

I have to say that the golden sign he created himself was very useful. Ling Qian looked solemn and said with a fist: "Go back to the lord, Pei Qiantong took the box and planned to arrange a job that was a minor general for his subordinates, and he will be paid tomorrow!"

Xu Mu's eyes lit up. Sure enough, since ancient times, there has been no way that money cannot be opened.

You know, this time, he brought 10,000 guan to Jiangdu, and he spent 300 guan with one stepping stone!

However, Xu Mu did not feel sorry for this at all.

Anyway, his money is not money, it is all stolen from the hands of those nobles in Luoyang.

"Okay, you can prepare, be sure to lick... Cough cough, be sure to establish a good relationship with Pei Qiantong. Report any changes in the Xiaoguo army in the future," Xu Mu said, patting Ling Qian's shoulder.

To Ling Qian, Sun Ying repeatedly promised that she was absolutely loyal and meticulous, and could bear great responsibility.

The most important thing is that he has a family of old and young people, and now he is all in Wanmin City.

That's why Xu Mu was so relieved that he brought him to Jiangdu and arranged a job similar to a spy for him.

"promise!"

Ling Qian didn't say much, and after holding his fists, he stood obediently beside Xu Mu without saying a word.

Xu Mu turned around, looked at Wang Zhao, and said, "How are Pei Ju's living habits doing?"

It has been three days since he came to Jiangdu. On the one hand, Xu Mu asked Ling Qian to follow Pei Qiantong's path, and on the other hand, he asked Wang Zhao to investigate Pei Ju.

This person is also what he wants to kidnap.

However, this is a personal spirit. It is very difficult to make him let go of his guard and leave the city to come to Songzhuang.

"By the lord, Pei Ju is on the top and bottom every day. When you have nothing to do, you like to go fishing in Huai River." Wang Zhao replied in a deep voice.

There were indeed too few hobbies in ancient times.

Like young people, they may like flying eagles and lackeys and essays, but Pei Ju is in his seventies and is powerless, so he lives a very comfortable life.

After hearing this, Xu Mu frowned.

He was wondering how to establish a good relationship with the future spy leader of Wanmincheng.

When Pei Ju was young, Lao Yang sent him to manage the Western Regions. At that time, the Great Sui Dynasty knew nothing about the situation in the Western Regions. The population, customs, customs, and monarchs and ministers of various countries were unknown.

It was Pei Ju who built spy agencies in the Western Regions with his own strength to collect intelligence. After several years, he gathered into a book and wrote the "Magic Records of the Western Regions".

Among them, the customs, personnel and officials of various countries in the Western Regions are recorded, which can be called an encyclopedia of the Western Regions.

He made great contributions to Lao Yang's territory, attacking Tuyuhun, surrendering Gaochang and other countries.

"It seems that it's not enough to beat him. There is only one honest man in this world, and he is 70 years old and may be beaten to death."

Xu Mu paved while pondering.

Wang Zhao, who had personally experienced the "good relationship" between the lord and Lu Chu, twitched his lips and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Seventy years old, will he do it then?

"But how can I give him a life-saving grace?"

Xu Mu walked around, and was of great use to intellectuals who had not experienced various routines in this era. Many seemingly old-fashioned routines in later generations were of great use.

This is an era when a scholar dies for his confidant. The kindness of knowing the favor of meeting and saving lives can sometimes make a person die for it, and he will be careless.

Finally, Xu Mu finally came up with a solution.

"Wang Zhao, I remember that you are quite well-versed, right?" Xu Mu looked at Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhao's body trembled. Every time he was stared at by his lord like this, there was nothing good.

But he nodded honestly.

Xu Mu suddenly stroked his palm and laughed, "It's great. Pei Ju will fish tomorrow. You can dive in from the bottom of the water, then disguise yourself as a big fish, drag Pei Ju into the water, and then my lord will rescue you."

Afterwards, Xu Mu carefully considered and finalized the plan to perfection.

For such a person, he will suspect any unfair scenes and then see through them.

Not everyone is an honest person, Lu Chu.

So he simply created an accident that no one could see.

After hearing his lord's crazy plan, Wang Zhao shivered. How did the lord come up with these strange ideas?

He had already started to sweat a cold sweat for... Pei Ju.

At the age of seventy, I still suffer this kind of crime in my 80s...
