The secret message that Operation Jiao Zan failed quickly reached Aunt Jun.
Aunt Jun was a little annoyed. Jiao Zan was a good chess piece she had prepared for Mu Zhan when she was placed in the army. Jiao Zan has also been very successful in these years, rising from an ordinary soldier to a fourth-rank commander.
He has achieved many military exploits and is supported by many officers and men in the army. He also has many subordinates. As long as he works well, it is completely possible for Jiao Zan to take charge of Maguan in the future. There are tens of thousands of people in Maguan, and in the future these people will become
Mu shows his strongest arm.
"Dad, didn't you say that Jiao Zan is very strong and has great martial arts skills?" He also boasted that he would definitely beat Mu Yan to the ground and make him either dead or disabled, making people think it was just an accident. How come this didn't take more than a few moves?
, it was defeated.
Aunt Jun was very dissatisfied.
Mrs. Jun also didn't expect Mu Yan to come out of the horse gate with all his beard and tail intact, without even a scratch on his skin.
"Jiao Zan is still careless."
Mr. Jun didn't want to admit that Jiao Zan's martial arts skills were not as good as Mu Yan's. Jiao Zan was a person he had carefully trained for many years. In these years, when he couldn't explicitly use his grandson's connections, he used Jiao Zan's network quite easily. He didn't want to lose it yet.
Got this good guy.
"I'm afraid Jiao Zan can no longer stay in Maguan."
Aunt Jun nodded in agreement, "I will mention it to the Duke of Guo." In order to avoid others' suspicion, she just told her calmly, and the Duke of Guo would not ask any more questions.
Who would have thought that before Aunt Jun could blow her pillow, she would learn that Jiao Zan had been transferred to Kunming City.
It's not a flat level, it's been promoted by half a level. It's become a fourth-level commanding officer.
Astonished.
"How come you got promoted? And you were transferred to the commanding officer of the Kunming garrison. This..." The officer was promoted, but if he stayed in the city, he would have fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Mr. Jun was a little dissatisfied.
Jiao Zan was originally his secret agent in the army, and no one knew about their relationship in these years. If this was placed in Kunming City, in full view of everyone, could Jiao Zan be used again?
"I heard that Mu Yan was a talented boy, so he competed with him and found that his martial arts skills were outstanding, so he was transferred to the city to train new soldiers." Aunt Jun explained.
"So Jiao Zan didn't arouse that little beast's suspicion?"
If you put it this way, there will be more time in the future and there will still be opportunities to plan. Moreover, staying in the city also has its advantages. In the future, Mu Yan will take advantage of Jiao Zan's respect and plan slowly.
"This is the only way, the transfer order has been issued." Aunt Jun did not see any problem with Jiao Zan's transfer.
The father and daughter put aside the matter of Jiao Zan and talked about the situation of the industry in the city.
After Jun Mingzhang left, Mrs. Jun couldn't think of anyone to hand over the family property to a few concubines, but Mrs. Jun didn't agree.
Although her eldest son is gone, her eldest daughter Jun Qiluo is still married to the Mu family. The whole family relies on her, and Mrs. Jun dare not disobey this daughter.
The concubines failed to shoulder their important responsibilities. The eldest grandson was Jun Ruoxu, and Mr. Jun thought he was immature. Moreover, his biological mother killed her own son, and she was worried about it.
I have to do all the big and small things by myself. But as people get older, they lose energy, so they have to call Aunt Jun over from time to time to discuss something.
"The cloth shop said that many of their counterparts in the city are selling at reduced prices, and they asked us if we should follow the price reduction. Did you hear any news at the Duke's Mansion? Why did you sell cloth, cotton, linen, fur and other items for no reason?
Did the price suddenly drop?"
Mr. Jun is worried that there is some news from the DPRK or there is some emergency situation in Yunnan. Why is it that the prices of cloth, fur, cotton and linen, which are important for people's livelihood, have suddenly dropped?
Aunt Jun is also very confused. She hasn't heard any special news.
"Are all the cloth stores cutting prices?"
Mrs. Jun was not sure, so he said: "It seems that most of the shops are lowering their prices. The shopkeeper came and asked me if I wanted to follow the price reduction. I was afraid that I had some other news, so I came to ask you."
Aunt Jun shook her head, "That's not true. Maybe it's the end of the year, and the cloth shops need to collect their accounts and withdraw funds. This will be the time to clear out their inventory. It just so happens that this is the time when cloth and fur are easy to sell."
Mr. Jun felt relieved when he heard that there was no special news.
Then there is no need for their Jun's shop to follow suit. They have no shortage of money, connections, and no need to worry about selling their goods. Who has a rich background like his? Other merchants ask for business, but they don't.
I didn't even care.
If you don't care, something will happen.
In fact, at the beginning, only Guangfengshui and Yu's shops reduced their prices. Later, with Huo Xi's frequent actions, he mobilized a large number of manpower to transport large quantities of cloth, cotton, linen and other items from the Central Plains to Jiangnan and other places into Yunnan, and also from the Western Regions to the Western Regions.
A large amount of furs and other items were intercepted, and as soon as there were enough goods on the market, the prices dropped a lot.
But Jun's Shop considers itself superior to others. Not only does it sell at a higher price than others, but its service quality cannot keep up. Moreover, neither suppliers nor distributors give cash, and they are all goods that only last a certain period of time. The period of payment is still due.
Give it extremely long.
Suppliers and distributors complained and were extremely dissatisfied with the Jun family. But no one dared to jump up. Who made their family powerful?
With the Mu family backing the Jun family, any businessman who still wants to do business in Yunnan will have to endure the Jun family's unequal conditions.
But as soon as Huo Xi intervened, the balance was immediately broken.
"Madam, we have sent out all our manpower and notified the fleet. The second and third batches of goods will be delivered continuously with the fleet. Now there are more than a dozen shops that have placed orders with us.
goods."
Huo Xi expressed satisfaction, "Very good. Are the goods sent to Xifan and the Western Regions fully prepared? Have you found any merchants to distribute the goods coming over there?"
"Madam, don't worry, our goods are fully prepared and escorted by dedicated personnel. They are all experts at Zhuangzi. The journey will be safe and will be delivered to Xifan and the Western Regions in advance. Moreover, there are many merchants for distribution, so we finally decided to choose a few more
Several merchants are selling together with us. Although the quantity is less, the price is low, and everyone can make money together."
"You are right. Distribution merchants should choose some reputable shops. It is not easy for ordinary people to do business."
"Don't worry, madam. We understand."
There are dozens of countries and tribes surrounding Dian, not just the Western Regions and Western Fan tribes. For merchants, this is a huge market.
However, due to the inconvenience of walking on the road, unless a large businessman has his own convoy, the goods will only be transported halfway and disappear. There are too many ghosts and ghosts along the way. An incompetent caravan cannot protect the goods.
But Huo Xi has no shortage of people now.
Mu Yan had two to three thousand soldiers on Zhuangzi. Some of them were left to him by the old marquis and the previous marquises. They might be old or some old veterans, but they were capable.
Escorting goods all the way is quite bluffing.
Originally, Huo Xi had not thought about doing this business. First, the investment was large, not only the cost was high, but also a lot of manpower was needed, and the cycle was long. Although money could be made, but on balance, the profit was not as good as Jiangnan's business. And
She won't be here in the future, and it won't be easy to manage her.
But the Jun family offended her, forcing her to change her mind.
Isn't it good to run a good business and make money? If you insist on targeting the couple at every turn and want her man's life, then she won't be polite and she will want their lives too.
Cutting off a person's financial path is like cutting off one's parents in the sand, so she cut off the Jun family's financial path first, making the Jun family lose their support!
