Xue Poye looked at the invitation that Lao Song had just sent, with a sneer on his lips. Although he knew that Mrs. Fang would use this trick sooner or later, he didn't expect it to come so quickly. The invitation was sent within a day after he returned from Suzhou.
Of course, this is not a good invitation. It is an invitation from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. The content is very simple. It just calls for businessmen of all sizes in Hangzhou to gather in Baoyu Hall.
Baoyu Hall is a villa, of course the Lu family's villa. It is located in the center of Hangzhou and is the only way to pass through Hangzhou's major transportation hubs. It is not considered clean.
There is the Lu family's shop outside Baoyu Hall, which sells jewelry and antiques.
This gathering may be nothing in the eyes of others, but Xue Poye knew very well in his heart that the Lu family was going to take action and attack him at this chamber of commerce gathering.
For a state chamber of commerce to deal with a fledgling young man, even if the young man has amazing business talents, it will still be effortless.
Lao Song looked at Xue Poye worriedly. Of course, he knew the strength of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce better than Xue Poye.
This meeting is scheduled for three days later.
Xue Poye threw the invitation on the table and sneered coldly. Although he was very disdainful of Mrs. Lu Jiafang's methods, he also knew that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce represented the largest force in Hangzhou's business community, and any individual merchant would never be able to do so.
To deal with such a powerful business organization, this of course includes myself.
Therefore, Xue Poye felt that it was necessary to carefully consider what kind of tricks Mrs. Fang would use to suppress him at this gathering, and he must be fully prepared to deal with it.
…
Moyun Village was not far from Hangzhou City, so Ye Tianxiang's troops quickly returned to Suzhou. After withdrawing their troops and returning to the camp, Ye Tianxiang came to Hanyuan with an annoyed look on his face.
Xue Poye could tell from the expression on his face that this operation had naturally failed.
"What the hell!" Ye Tianxiang cursed angrily: "Those bandits have all disappeared like ghosts. There is no one in the entire village, not even a pig or dog."
Xue Poye sighed: "Then wouldn't it be a vain attempt this time?"
Ye Tianxiang clenched his fists and said, "I don't believe that those thieves will really disappear out of thin air. I have sent spies to look around. The troops will camp in Hangzhou for a few days. Once they are found, they will be killed immediately." He couldn't help but.
He slapped his thigh, feeling very annoyed and angry.
Xue Poye remained calm and pretended to be confused: "Not many people know about this matter. Even your brothers probably don't know much about it. But why did the bandits in Moyun Village know about it? It's weird!"
He was trying to make progress before retreating. When he said this, even if Ye Tianxiang broke his head, he would not think that there was a problem on his side.
Ye Tianxiang gritted his teeth, frowned and thought hard, and finally said in a suppressed voice: "Damn, maybe it's the letter from those guys in Hangzhou. Although a few of my brothers know it, they are all loyal and there is nothing wrong with it.
The problem is that Hu Dutong and several generals in the camp in Hangzhou knew that they had something to do with it. The Moyun Village had been in Hangzhou for so many years, and the soldiers and horses in Hangzhou could not move at all, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
, I think they are the same species, ***...!" He gritted his teeth.
He regarded Xue Poye as one of his own, so he did not hide his dislike for the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou. He even boldly speculated that an informed general in the Hangzhou camp leaked the news, but he never thought that Xue Poye had something to do with it.
.
Xue Poye pretended to think deeply, then leaned closer and said: "Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou may have something to do with Moyun Village, so you have to be careful. Maybe the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou have taken over Moyun Village.
of silver.”
Ye Tianxiang was very grateful for Xue Poye's reminder and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will keep this in mind. I will definitely kill the bandits in Moyun Village."
After having lunch in Hanyuan, Ye Tianxiang went back to the camp directly. Instead, a brother Qinglianzhao pretending to be a waiter came over in a hurry, handed Xue Poye a note, and passed by without anyone noticing.
Xue Poye was a little strange, but until he saw that the note was handed over by Brother Qinglianzhao, it was naturally related to Qinglianzhao's affairs. When he returned to the office, he opened the note and saw the following words: "Lingyin Temple,
Dayuan's former residence, let's discuss important matters!" A lotus-shaped pattern was drawn on the back.
The lotus boy is the Green Lady, and this letter was obviously sent by the Green Lady.
After burning the note, Xue Poye frowned. The letter said that they had something big to discuss, but he didn't know what kind of big thing it was.
Suddenly I thought of Duan Kezhang, the chrysanthemum boy. After going to Kyoto, this old man sent a few secret messages, but there has been no news for a while. Could it be that the big thing is that something went wrong with Duan Kezhang?
This is very possible. There are many experts in Kyoto. If you are a little negligent, your life will be in danger. Although Qingrenzhuo has a branch in Kyoto and has an underground intelligence network, it has nothing to do with the intelligence network of the Kyoto Procuratorate and the imperial city intelligence.
Compared with the information of the organization, it is very different.
In addition to the terrifying Metropolitan Procuratorate, Kyoto also has three garrison troops, the Imperial Guards, the City Patrol Division, and the Kyoto Prefecture. There are many experts everywhere. It is not true to say that Duan Kezhang fell into the hands of these people.
What amazing news.
This time, Lady Green is going to Lingyin Temple. After Dayuan passed away, the sacred hall of Lingyin Temple has been handed over to Mingxu, and Mingxu is now in Suzhou, diagnosing Qiao Ting, so Lingxu
The current person in charge of the Yin Temple is the newly promoted deputy head of Shengtang.
If we say that Hangzhou is the most suitable place for Qinglianzhao to gather, it would be Lingyin Temple. Covered by Buddhist monks, few people would have thought that it was Qinglianzhao's lair. It seems to be better than Xiaojing Lake in the wilderness.
More confusing.
Although Xiao Pan sent his subordinates to find the murderer of Tieniu, he still stayed in the store honestly for fear of arousing suspicion.
Xue Poye called Lao Song and told him to go out and find an open space suitable for building a workshop. Once Luo Ding and others came over from Suzhou, they would start taking action here. The first step would naturally be to use the Qiao family's technology to make silk in Hangzhou.
Cloth, only by making silk cloth can it make waves in Hangzhou.
As for a group of sales points, Xue Poye had already thought of Qinglianzhao. There were quite a few shops under the Hangzhou branch, and the income from these shops was handed over to the Shengtang accountant and then transferred to the general helm for funding.
Once the workshop produces silk cloth, the cost will be extremely low, and the advantage compared to the Lu family is also huge.
First of all, the Fang Lu family cannot keep up with the Qiao family in terms of silk fabric technology, and the raw material channels are not as extensive as the Qiao family. The production cost is much higher than the Qiao family. Moreover, the silk fabrics of the Lu family in Hangzhou are all produced in Yangzhou.
If the Fang family provides the extra manpower and freight, the cost will be higher than if Xue Poye produces silk locally in Hangzhou.
To put it more clearly, if the cost of Xue Poye's silk cloth is three cents per piece, then the Lu family must cost five cents. From a competitive perspective, they are completely at the upper hand, not to mention the support of the Qiao family, Xue Poye
The quality of the silk fabrics is a higher level than that of the Lu family, so when both price and quality are superior, if there are no other factors, the Lu family will naturally be defeated very quickly.
The Lu family's silk business had always been very good. The reason was that no one dared to compete.
Old Song already regarded his shopkeeper as a god. If Xue Poye ordered someone to capture Kyoto and become the emperor, Old Song would rush forward with a broom on his shoulder, so he set out immediately to choose the location of the workshop.
Go and do it.
There is an open space on the south side of West Lake. Next to the open space is a very small earth temple. Under the lush green trees, it is very conspicuous. In this open space, it is a hired car that is known to locals in Hangzhou.
district.
As the name suggests, the hire car area is a place where horse-drawn carriages gather. If outsiders come here and want to visit Hangzhou but don’t have a car, then hiring a horse-drawn carriage here is convenient and cheap, which is really an excellent choice.
When Xue Poye went to Suzhou, the carriage that hired Master Shao was called from here.
However, Master Shao was shocked in Suzhou, and after returning to Hangzhou, Xue Poye gave him a very generous reward, so he was recuperating at home these days and did not work.
Xue Poye called a car here, took Xiao Pan and rushed to Lingyin Temple.
The Golden Lion did not ride back, and was still at Lan Yuexuan. However, even if the Golden Lion was there, Xue Poye would choose to take a carriage. After all, there are many such carriages in Hangzhou, and no one would pay attention, but the Golden Lion was very
Conspicuous, many Hangzhou people also know that Xue Poye, the shopkeeper of Renyi in Hanyuan, rides a golden Huma.
Of course Xue Poye is not afraid of those people asking for autographs, but is afraid that some people hiding in the dark and plotting against him will pay attention to his whereabouts. Only by riding in such a carriage can he avoid many eyes and ears, and Xiao Pan, a tracking expert
Beside him, Xue Poye was even more happy. Of course he believed in Xiao Pan's anti-tracking ability and naturally believed that he would not be targeted.
He got off the bus not far from the west entrance of Lingyin Temple and paid the fare.
The pilgrims all seemed very pious.
Upon entering Lingyin Temple, under a pagoda, Xue Poye saw the unpredictable Chen Fu.
Chen Fu still had an easy-going smile on his face, looking very humble. He smiled and nodded towards Xue Poye, turned around and walked towards the "Jingxin Zen Temple" in Dayuan, while Xue Poye and Xiao Pan
He also followed him seemingly casually.
"What on earth is going on?" Xue Poye touched his nose and thought to himself: "It's done so carefully and solemnly." dd
