Aunt Jun was very dissatisfied that the Duke of Guizhou was easily persuaded by Huo Xi and did not ask her to abort the fetus in her belly.
After a few days of pillow wind, the Duke of Guizhou was very impatient. He only pretended that the British Duke was behind the Zhang family, and the British Duke was in the emperor's heart. Losing the British Duke's support would not only be detrimental to Mu Yan, but also the Mu Palace.
Not good either.
The Mu Mansion squeezed the two vassal kings to other places. Whether it was because they did not want to stay or for other reasons, the Mu Mansion, which was located in a borderland and controlled an army of 300,000 men, had no one with status to suppress and decentralize power.
Is the truth.
If someone in the court incites the emperor to take any precautionary measures against the Mu family, it will be very detrimental to the Mu family. As a relative, it will be a good thing for the Mu family if the British father can help and say a few good words.
You can't be hostile to the British public. Zhang's words are clear, but he doesn't force it.
But these Dukes of Guizhou did not tell Aunt Jun. He became impatient with her talk and ran to the rooms of Aunt Jin and Bai.
When Aunt Jun was thinking of another idea, Huo Xi took action.
This time she didn't hold back any more, and directly closed most of the Jun family's shops in other places. The business in Kunming City also didn't hold back, and shipped large quantities of various goods, impacting the inventory in Jun's shop.
The Jun family was unable to withdraw funds and had to sell their property to deal with the situation.
Originally, Jun's shop had a large amount of inventory, and the purchase price was at least 20% to 30% higher than others. Even if it was put on sale immediately, unless the price was in line with other shops, very few would be sold. Coupled with poor preservation, new goods could only be sold as
I lost a lot of money here by selling used goods.
Being hit by low-priced goods again is simply terrible.
Mr. Jun was furious in the house: "It's just two families, why are every family like this? The whole cloth shop has the same price! Where did they get such cheap cloth! Haven't they found out the source of their goods yet?
"
Huo Xi opened her shop and adhered to the concept of making a fortune quietly. She didn't like publicity and was meticulous in her work. She wanted to hide the purchase channel, but Jun couldn't find it.
Yunnan and the southwest also have their own homespun cloth, and there are many weavers who are good at weaving. However, the southwest is too far away from Jiangnan and the Central Plains, resulting in looms, weaving techniques, and dyeing techniques that are relatively backward.
The southwest and Yunnan areas are mountainous and have inconvenient transportation. The cost of transporting various goods from Jiangnan and the Central Plains is relatively high. If the road is uneven, it will increase the cost of various goods.
Huo Xi now has a large fleet in his hands, as well as Mu Yan's manpower of escorts on both water and land routes, and the manpower he keeps in the village, so he can escort the goods south of the Yangtze River and Central China without any problem.
A large amount of goods sent by fleets from all directions impacted the market in Yunnan.
In addition, Huo Xi had the purpose of suppressing the Jun family and the profit was not high. He also united with the Yu family and his family's in-laws, cooperated with their weaving and dyeing, improved the loom, and invited
He asked the weavers from the south of the Yangtze River to guide the local weavers, and then improved the dyeing skills of the Yu family. For a while, the Jun family was squeezed out of business.
By the time Jun came to his senses and planned to unite with his relatives and friends to help fight back, it was already too late.
Firstly, it was too late to acquire it, and secondly, people who knew the inside story did not dare to confront the Crown Prince's wife. In addition, Jun's family was used to being domineering in business, and there would not be much benefit from following his family. So Jun's organized a counterattack
, very few responded.
He was quickly squeezed out by Huo Xi and was unable to fight back.
On the other side, Mu Yan, who was sent to patrol the border, also received news from the secret guards. After knowing that Aunt Jun was plotting against his child, she immediately sent people to Mu Zhan's jade mine without waiting for a moment.
Within a few days, the Duke of Guizhou received news that there was a jade mine in Balang. They used earthen explosives to blast the rocks and buried many miners in it. Now many miners' families gathered around the mine to complain to the owner of the mine.
.
The Duke of Guizhou didn't take it seriously at all, and only told the corresponding officials to handle the matter well and not to cause conflicts among the border residents.
Two days later, I heard that a chieftain's son was trapped inside, and that the chieftain also led people to surround the jade mine. A fight broke out between the two sides, which escalated to a conflict between Yi and Han. A large-scale dispute and turmoil was about to begin.
.
Hundreds of soldiers from Barang and nearby guard posts were also mobilized to suppress it. Then they heard that the owner of the mine was actually the eldest son of the Mu family. Now the chieftain who lost his son actually wanted to bring his tribe to Kunming City to sue the Duke of Guizhou.
A fair one.
Duke Qian was completely stunned.
All kinds of news flooded his mind, making him confused for a moment.
Only when he saw Mu Zhan kneeling in front of him to plead guilty did he react.
He grabbed the documents on the table and threw them at Mu Zhan: "When did you buy the private property? Even I kept it secret! Is there a shortage of food and supplies for you in the house? I want you to do business outside! If it's right,
If you are dissatisfied with the errands I have assigned you and you are unable to do them, you will take over the government's economy and specialize in making money! I am not short of manpower to help with military and political affairs!"
Mu Zhan didn't dare to hide when he was hit. He only bowed his head and apologized: "Father, calm down. I don't want to do what the merchant did, and I'm not dissatisfied with the errand sent by my father. The jade mine doesn't belong to me, it was given by the people below."
The son gave me the shares, but he did not participate in the management and had no knowledge of what was happening outside..."
"I visited various chieftain houses some time ago and was very busy. Mu Xi was also with me. I didn't believe that my father called him to ask. I didn't go anywhere else. And my whereabouts have never been hidden from my father...
"
The Duke of Guizhou is still angry. The chieftain is bringing his tribe to find him, the Duke. The matter must be verified.
"How many shares do you have in that jade mine? Do you have your manpower in it?" Mu Zhan didn't run it himself, but that doesn't mean he didn't send his cronies to take care of it.
Mu Zhan lowered his eyes and did not dare to raise his eyes, "I have 40% of my penis..."
Before he could finish speaking, Duke Qian hit his forehead with something again, causing his head to hang even lower.
I heard my father roaring: "40%? You accepted 40% of other people's shares! 40%! You still said you are not the mine owner!" Which mine owner is willing to cede so many shares to him? Mu Zhanding is one of them.
It's a big deal.
"Father, it was really forced upon me by others. I have never run a business, and I have never sent any cronies to run it. Moreover, 40% of the shares came into my hands, and it didn't take long. I didn't even receive the interest. I really
I don’t know!”
Aunt Jun knew the matter was serious and ran over in a hurry.
Crying and begging: "My lord, Zhan'er has been filial since he was a child. You brought him here hand in hand. Don't you know what his nature is? There is no shortage of him in the government. Why should he do such a thing? That's 40% of the work."
When he got the stock, he gave it to me as a filial piety. As a woman, I don't know anything about that. I just waited to receive the bonus. We didn't want something like this to happen. The Duke of the country can't blame Zhan'er for it.
