Chapter 213 The God of Wealth, Fan Li, is my teacher
Siblings, you look at me and I look at you, just like when Zhang Yuan was a kid, Zhang Ruoxi and Zhang Ruoxi were glaring at each other to see who could lose their composure first...
The weather was hot in the afternoon. When Zhang Yuan saw a few beads of sweat dripping from his sister's mouth, he couldn't help but smile, unfolded the folding fan in his hand to cool his sister, and said with a smile: "My sister is sweating so much, I'm so excited."
The best idea is to tell your sister first." Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm not in a hurry about this. There are too many urgent things now, and it's not time to rush for money."
Zhang Yuandao: "Everything is done in advance, and failure in advance will lead to failure. This matter should also be done slowly. Don't worry about sister's affairs with the Dong family in Huating. My younger brother, eldest brother, and three brothers will take care of it."
Zhang Ruoxi sighed: "If the Lu family didn't have the help of the Zhang family this time, they would definitely not be able to defeat the Dong family. The Lu family's family fortune is difficult to protect. Your brother-in-law is a very good person, but he is indecisive when it comes to matters and he doesn't have capable manpower."
Zhang Yuandao: "So my sister should help her brother-in-law more. She is a hero among women."
Zhang Ruoxi smiled, her eyes flowing, and said: "Okay, stop flattering me, tell me, what do you want my sister to do?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Actually, it's very simple. It's to make big profits from small profits. My sister has the cloth and silk shops in Qingpu and Suzhou. She first sends her capable servants to secretly visit the sewing workers with good craftsmanship. As long as they buy at Lu's cloth shop and silk shop,
Those who come to sew clothes can go to Lu's shop and get two cents of silver for every piece they sew. Ten pieces is two cents. Don't be afraid that the tailors will lie and overcharge.
"As long as they get money from Lu's cloth shop, they will naturally praise Lu's cloth to customers for its beauty." Of course, Lu's cotton and silk must be beautiful, and they cannot lose to others in terms of quality. First, expand the markets of Songjiang and Suzhou.
, and then open a business to Hangzhou, Nanjing, um, we will also open a business in Shanyin."
Zhang Ruoxi's eyes lit up after hearing this. Luck is indeed a very simple thing, but why didn't anyone think of it?
Zhang Yuan added: "This requires Lu's cloth shop and silk and satin shop to have a unified trade name, and the company's logo must be printed on the cloth machine head, and the market must be closely monitored to see if anyone is counterfeiting Lu's cloth and silk.
To crack down hard on counterfeiting requires a good relationship with the local government. Therefore, this strategy seems simple, but it is not easy to implement and sustain it. My sister and brother-in-law must work hard. As for the government, in the future
My brother can help me. If everything goes well, it will not be difficult for Lu family in Qingpu to become rich in Songjiang within ten years. Lu family's cloth sells well, and they can gradually expand mulberry forests and cotton fields, recruit skilled weavers, improve looms, and improve textile technology, so that
Lu's company became the number one cloth and satin company in the south of the Yangtze River. The number one in the south of the Yangtze River was also the number one in the Ming Dynasty."
In fact, Zhang Yuan really wanted to control all this by himself, but he didn't have the foundation in this area. It was not impossible for Zhang Yuan to start from scratch, but he couldn't afford to wait for twenty or thirty years. Qingpu Lu's sericulture textile was already very strong.
With more guidance, it will flourish. Now the Lu family in Qingpu is basically a brother-in-law.
The brother-in-law is the head of the family, and he is also a member of his own family. He is worthy of support. Zhang Ruoxi stood there for a long time, her chest heaving, obviously very excited, and suddenly she glared at Zhang Yuan and said: "Little
Yuan, how did you come up with all this!"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Reading, reading more and opening books is beneficial, and you are eager to learn and think deeply."
Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said: "Not only are you good at writing eight-part essays, you are also proficient in business matters, which is really hard for my sister to see through.
Zhang Yuandao: "What I learned from my ancient Yue sage, Tao Zhugong and Fan Shu, is "loyalty to serve the country, wisdom to protect one's life, business to get rich and become famous all over the world." But now this "business to get rich, I gave it to my sister."
Zhang Ruoxi liked her younger brother Zhang Yuan's high-spirited, calm and confident look. She stretched out her finger and tapped Zhang Yuan's forehead and said, "Then do you still want to find a stunning beauty like Xi Shi to accompany you?"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Where can I find it?"
"Okay." Zhang Ruoxi pretended to be angry: "You really have this intention? Isn't that Shang girl beautiful enough?"
Zhang Yuan clasped his hands together and begged for mercy: "Just kidding, just kidding."
Zhang Ruoxi glanced at the maid next to her and said softly: "1 Xiao Yuan, don't look for any beauty. It's your job to marry your junior sister from the Wang family. I think that junior sister Wang is very affectionate to you and even helps you read.
She has read so many books, and you said last time that you also like her, right?"
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Junior sister Yingzi is the same age as me and it's time to talk about marriage. How can I delay her."
Zhang Ruoxi sighed softly, said no more, and led a few servants and maids to comfort the mulberry picking girls Xiaoping and Axia who had been frightened earlier. Seeing that Mu Zhenzhen was talking to Axia, Zhang Ruoxi learned that it was
Mu Zhenzhen saved Axia and Xiaoping from Lahu, and said happily: "1 Xiaoyuan doesn't know who Zhenzhen saved yet. I'll tell him later and let Xiaoyuan reward you, and I will reward you too."
Then, he took off the gold folded silk bracelet on his right wrist, took Mu Zhenzhen's right hand, and put it on Mu Zhenzhen. Mu Zhenzhen had never worn gold and silver jewelry in his whole life. He lowered his eyes and looked at the golden bracelet on his right wrist.
Bracelet, coyly said: "Miss, how can I bear it~
"
Zhang Ruoxi took the hand of the fallen girl and said, "What is unbearable? When you are with Xiao Yuan, my mother and I feel relieved." That group of thugs who often come to harass and do evil things
I was beaten severely today, the silkworm farmer in the manor,
Cotton farmers and weaver households are all very excited. They feel that the days of being bullied by Dong are over, and they can still live a peaceful life with men farming and women weaving. Zhang Dai went to Yushan Lu's Tea Garden in the afternoon and didn't think the tea was good.
Mr. Lu is not in the tea business, and these acres of tea gardens are for his own family use.
At dusk, Zhang Ruoxi, Zhang Dai, and Zhang Yuan returned to the Lu family's mansion in Qingpu City. Lu Tao and Zhang E also just came back from the county government office. The eight gangsters received forty strokes in court and were imprisoned. County Magistrate Wang
He said that he would report the eight people to the Jinshan Guards. The Jinshan Guards were in Huating. It was an advantage for the eight lairs. Zhang Yuan said to Lu Tao: "Brother-in-law, I need to send someone to keep a closer eye on him. Maybe Dong Qichang's letter will be sent to me."
Come, these eight young thugs will be let go quietly."
Lu Tao said: "I asked Lu Dayou to send two people to keep an eye on him~"
Zhang E said angrily: "If this mediocre official dares to protect Dong, he will not be able to become an official."
After dinner, Zhang Ruoxi invited her younger brother Zhang Yuan and her husband Lu Tao to the study to discuss the establishment of Lu's cloth and silk trading company. Lu Tao listened to Zhang Yuan's idea and said with great joy: "This is not difficult to implement. If we can save it this time,
Second brother, keep the mulberry forest in Yushan. Ruoxi and I will take the next step according to Jiezi's words." He also said: "Jiezi saved my Qingpu Lu family this time. My family will not thank you, but I will give you instructions in the future.
There’s nothing you can’t do.”
Lu Tao and Zhang Ruoxi agreed that Lu's cloth shop and silk satin shop would be called "Shengmei Hao" from now on.
Liu Jingting did not follow Zhang Yuan to the Lu family's manor in Yushan that day. He took a boy with him, accompanied by two Lu family servants, and told a story in a teahouse opened by the student Hong Daotai. The book was called "The Legend of Black and White". Directly referring to the name of the Dong family in Huating, they only mentioned a certain official in Songjiang. However, those Qingpu people who had learned about the book in the teahouse knew immediately that they were talking about Dong Qichang and his son and their slaves. The dispute between the Dong family and the Lu family had already spread throughout Qingpu. Yesterday, there was another If something big happens, who knows?
Many people in Qingpu have also heard about the Huating Dong family's occupation of land and bullying of men and women. After all, Qingpu is adjacent to Huating, but it has nothing to do with them and they all just listen to it. But when Liu Jingting said it, the feeling was very different. Hearing Dong bully the good is like bullying the relatives and friends of these listeners, making them worried and angry. Liu Jingting's storytelling has this kind of appeal. The waterway from Qingpu County to Huating County is nearly forty miles. It only takes less than an hour for the boat to go down the Dahuangpu. Bu Shicheng, a disciple of the Dong family who was beaten by Zhang E at the south pier of Qingpu City, and other Dong family servants and beaten hands, took the boat back to Huating. It was dark. All twelve people were seriously injured. They struggled to the nearest hospital for treatment. At the same time, they asked someone to go to the Dong Mansion to report the news. Half an hour later, Dong Zuyuan and Dong Zuchang came with several domestic slaves. They saw Bu Shicheng and others. Everyone's nose was bruised and their face was swollen, and they were almost unrecognizable. They asked in surprise what happened?
Bu Shicheng said with a mournful face: "First Young Master, Second Young Master, that Zhang Yuan arrived in Qingpu, beat us like this, and tied us to the Qingpu County Government Office. The County Magistrate Wang didn't look at Dong's face, and beat us four times each. With ten sticks, I almost lost my life."
It was Zhang Yuan again. Dong Zuchang was furious and shouted that he would gather his slaves and beat him to Qingpu. Dong Zuyuan was nearly forty years old and was not as irritable as his second brother Dong Zuchang. He signaled his second brother not to be impatient and ordered Bu Shicheng to tell the story of today in detail. Shicheng started by besieging the Lu family's gate. When he encountered the Zhang Yuan brothers and his entourage, he stepped forward and started fighting without saying a word. The Zhang brothers' men were highly skilled in martial arts and they were no match for them...
Dong Zuyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and saw that Bu Shicheng was also applying medicine to his wounds with his buttocks down, so he frowned and asked: Mr. Wang Shanji has the honor of being a life soldier, how dare you execute Wang Shanji?"
Bu Shicheng said shamefully: "Magistrate Wang did not execute me. It was the evil thief named Zhang E who chased me to the dock with his slaves, bribed the guards, and beat me again. He also said that as long as he saw someone from the Dong family, he would I have to fight.
Not to mention that Dong Zuchang was going crazy with anger, Dong Zuyuan was also furious and said: "This matter must be reported to my father immediately. My father spared Zhang Yuan last year without pursuing any further investigation. Zhang Yuan thought that I, Mr. Dong, could be bullied." , the people who beat and humiliate me, Mr. Dong, today are so weak."
Dong Zuchang said fiercely: "This time Zhang Yuan will definitely die in my hands. I will beat him to death. I can just find someone to take the blame. I can let Wu Long find someone."
Bu Shicheng said: "My eldest son, there are three Huating scholars with Zhang Yuan. I recognize them. Their names are Jin Langzhi, Weng Yuansheng, and one named Jiang. These three are Zhang Yuan's group."
Dong Zuyuan nodded and said: "Weng Yuansheng, I have written it down and will not let them go." He said to Dong Zuchang: "Second brother, come with me to see father and see what he means."
