With sufficient resources, humans will grow rapidly.

In a large family like the Zhou family, which is not short of money, many men have a large number of wives and concubines and children.

In just a few decades, the two brothers were able to give birth to a large family of more than a hundred people.

The Zhou family has been passed down for nearly two hundred years, and it is conceivable that its family is huge and numerous branches are scattered throughout Dakang.

The most important thing at this time is the direct line where the clan is located, and the side branches will not be so important.

For example, Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the previous life, his ancestors were royal families. After generations of ranks, he became a commoner and fell to the point of selling straw sandals to fill his stomach.

Even the royal family is like this, let alone the Zhou family.

If Master Zhou was just one of the many branches of the Zhou family, it might be possible that the Zhou family in Bianjing knew about his existence. If Jin Feng dealt with him again, there would be no need to have so many concerns.

"This Master Zhou secretly controlled the magistrate of Jinchuan County and was also the key object of my brother's secret line in Jinchuan. He has been investigated clearly for a long time."

Qing Mulan smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, the news is absolutely accurate."

"If he was just a side branch, where would he have such great energy to control a county magistrate?" Jin Feng asked.

"It is not Master Zhou who supports County Magistrate Zhang, but his cousin, Zhou Changlin of the county town." Qing Mulan said.

"Zhou Changlin..."

Jin Feng felt that he had heard of this name somewhere.

By the way, Tang Dongdong said that her enemy was Zhou Changlin from the county town!

"Is Zhou Changlin the largest cloth merchant in the county?" Jin Feng asked.

"Yes." Qing Mulan nodded: "Sir, have you heard what Dongdong said?"

"Do you know Dongdong's identity?"

Jin Feng looked at Qing Mulan in surprise.

"I didn't know before, but since I found out that Zhou Changlin, I naturally knew about the battle between the Zhou family and the Tang family."

Qing Mulan sighed: "I used to think Dongdong's conversation and temperament were very good, but I didn't expect there would be such a past event."

Tang Dongdong has been determined to be a cloth merchant who is more successful than his father since he was a child, so he has secretly learned relevant knowledge of the textile industry since he was a child.

But like the difficulties Qingmulan faces, Dakang has too many constraints on women.

Even though Tang Dongdong's father noticed her management talent when he was very young, he never refused to let her interfere in the textile workshop at home.

After the family fell, Tang Dongdong was trapped in the small Guanjiawan, as if the Qianlong had been stranded into a shallow puddle, and he could not use his great skills.

Fortunately, she met Jin Feng.

Jin Feng wanted to be a hand-off manager, and Tang Dongdong wanted to show his ambitions, and the two hit it off.

After the textile factory got on track, Jin Feng basically ignored it and left it to Tang Dongdong completely.

Tang Dongdong did not disappoint Jin Feng. Since taking over the textile factory, he quickly managed the factory of hundreds of people in an orderly manner.

It is very difficult to see a strong woman these days. Since Qing Mulan learned that Tang Dongdong is the director of a textile factory, she has a feeling of heroes sympathizing with each other.

However, Tang Dongdong is very busy every day, and Qing Mulan is very well-organized for training every day. The two have not had much opportunity to communicate. At most, they only meet at Jin Feng's house occasionally and nod to each other.

It was not until this time that the Zhou family was investigated and involved the Tang family that Qing Mulan had a deeper understanding of Tang Dongdong.

"If you don't talk about Dongdong, let's continue talking about Zhou Changlin and Master Zhou."

Jin Feng pulled back the topic.

"Zhou Changlin and Master Zhou's father are brothers, but they are much better off than Master Zhou's father. They are the largest cloth merchants in Guangyuan County and have reconnected with the Zhou family in Bianjing. They can be said to be very skillful.

”

Qing Mulan said, "It's interesting to say that Zhou Changlin is better than Master Zhou's father, but his three sons are not good at it. They are all playboys, and they are not as good as Master Zhou in terms of knowledge, scheming, and methods.

Jinchuan is a very important place for Gema on Xichuan Road. In order to support Zhang County Magistrate, Zhou Changlin has been working hard, but he handed over the place to Master Zhou and did not let his son intervene."

"This is too messy..."

Jin Feng scratched his head a little annoyed.

He thought Master Zhou was just a branch of the Zhou family and could be cleaned up at will, but now he knew that Master Zhou was still standing behind him.

The county town is equivalent to the prefecture-level city of later generations. The Jinchuan County Government is under the jurisdiction of Guangyuan County, and Guangyuan County is under the jurisdiction of Xichuan Road.

Zhou Changlin can become the largest cloth merchant in a county. Although his energy is not as large as that of the Zhou family in Bianjing, for Jin Feng now, it is also a huge monster that cannot be provoked.

Otherwise, Tang Dongdong would have attacked him long ago.

"Sir, you're worried too much. In fact, Zhou Changlin and Master Zhou have a bad relationship."

Qing Mulan said: "Zhou Changlin does not trust Master Zhou and only treats him as a tool to control the magistrate Zhang County. Except for the Zhou family in Bianjing held a high sacrificial ceremony twelve years ago and required all tribe members to be present, he usually did not give Master Zhou.

The opportunity to contact the Zhou family in Bianjing was not even allowed to leave Jinchuan, which was equivalent to strangling Master Zhou to climb up.

Master Zhou himself understands this, so he has been looking for opportunities to get rid of Zhou Changlin over the years, coveting your spinning wheel, and causing the bandits to deliberately provoke it. This is because of this.

The most important industry of the Zhou family is textile. If you hand over your spinning wheel to the Zhou family in Bianjing, the benefits the Zhou family can get from it... I can't imagine how big it is.

Such a great contribution is enough for Master Zhou to get rid of Zhou Changlin and enter the Zhou family in Bianjing. He will definitely not tell Zhou Changlin.

In fact, over the years, Zhou Changlin has become increasingly dissatisfied with Master Zhou. You are now in a title. If you can find evidence of Master Zhou training bandits, even if you kill him, Zhou Changlin will not stand up for him."

"this……"

Jin Feng's eyes lit up suddenly.

It was not surprising that Qing Mulan knew about the bandits' provocation.

Qing Mulan even found out the matter of the Tang family. If she didn't know about this, it would be a hell.

Jin Feng's mind was running fast.

Although many people know that there is a shadow of officials behind the large bandits, this is an unspoken rule and it cannot be obtained clearly.

Secretly colluded to train bandits, and according to the Dakang law, they were punished with the bandits. In the mild case, they were exiled to the vanguard camp, and in the worst case, they were implicated in the nine tribes.

Given the degree of evil committed by the bandits in Tieguanshan, once they are caught, they will be beheaded easily.

In fact, Jinchuan County Government has been wanting Tieguanshan and several other bandits, and the reward is not low. The heads of ordinary bandits are equivalent to half of the reward for killing tigers, and the rewards of big and small leaders are even higher. As for the bandit leader, the government offers a reward of 300 taels.

.

But everyone knows what's going on. They would rather go to the mountains to kill tigers than to really carry the Iron Can Mountain bandits' heads to the yamen to receive the reward.

"Mu Lan, is this your speculation, or is there accurate information?"
