Chapter 829 Song Jiang: Just because she killed her father, she just recognized her as her foster sister!
"Head of the meeting! Yang Zhi has been defeated. The bandit army is about to come in. Let's get out of the city by the trail!"
??At the Shangqiu guild headquarters, steward Zhang Yu came to the leader of the guild, Zhang Tang, with a bitter look on his face.
?? Zhang Tang sighed deeply: "Although that Yang Jun squadron has good ambitions, he fought hard against the sergeants and lost the will of the masses. It is not surprising that he was defeated... How did the prefect Jia Zheng react?"
??Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "When the prefect heard that the army outside the city was defeated, he first shouted that Yang Zhi had mistaken him, and then said that the thieves were powerful, so he quickly went to Liangshan heroes for help, and then he disappeared..."
??Zhang Tang was not surprised. He took out a stack of documents and handed it over: "You can leave too. The Central Plains is already in chaos. From now on, the Chamber of Commerce will have to ask for help!"
??Zhang Yu turned pale: "What virtues and abilities do I have to bear this important responsibility... Sir, now is not the time, let's leave quickly!"
??Zhang Tang looked at him and handed over the document very firmly: "There is no need to hesitate, you are already the new leader of the Shangqiu Guild!"
??Perhaps in other guilds, the head of the guild cannot directly designate the heir, but the businessmen who control the shares must decide together, but the Shangqiu guild is the family property of the Pucheng Zhang family, and Zhang Tang is a prestigious clan elder.
, but he can directly make the decision. He has prepared formal documents in advance and must ensure the orderly succession of the leader.
??But Zhang Yu still didn't dare to accept it, and tried to persuade him: "The imperial court has said that if the seventh uncle is recalled, Yingtian Mansion will be temporarily occupied by thieves, and they will be able to take it back soon. Don't have such an idea at all!"
??The seventh uncle in his mouth is Zhang Dun*. Su Shi has "Two Poems with Zhang Qi Going out to Guard Huzhou", in which "Zhang Qi" is Zhang Dun. With Fan Chunli's death of illness, Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, Cai Bian
They resigned one after another, and the clamor for Zhang Dun to be reinstated became louder and louder. At the moment when the country was in turmoil, it was true that only the old and steadfast Xiangong, who was faithful to his word, could put things right and clean up the mess.
??However, Zhang Tang shook his head decisively: "This is just a rumor, it can't be accomplished."
??Zhang Yu frowned: "Why can't it be done? But if this chaos continues, the country of the Song Dynasty will be in danger..."
Zhang Tang's turbid eyes showed disappointment: "You can see what kind of people today's officials are after all kinds of evil deeds. They don't care about the stability of the country, but only care about their own throne, unless it is completely out of control. Otherwise.
My cousin will never be recalled to court!"
"But if that day comes, I'm afraid Zhao Song will be at the end of its rope. It will be too late. Even my cousin will not be able to turn the tide on his own..."
??Zhang Yu's face changed and he whispered: "In that case, why should the leader stay in Yingtian Mansion? We should return to Fujian as soon as possible!"
?? Zhang Tang said: "We have gone through a lot of hardships and dangers from Jianzhou to Shangqiu before we have this foundation. Will we never come out again after returning to Fujian? What's more, Fujian may not be peaceful. I
When a family has a big business, once rebels start a rebellion, the first thing they will look at is the foundation of the six major guilds!"
??Zhang Yu's heart palpitated when he heard this, and he looked deeply worried.
??Whenever the mountains and rivers are shattered and the world is in chaos, wealthy merchants are often the most dangerous. There are many people who confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans. This is not unfounded worry. The foundations of several other major chambers of commerce are there. Whenever there are rebels and rebels, they are struggling to support them.
For example, King Yang Tianwang who rebelled in Sichuan and Sichuan repeatedly threatened the Sichuan Gorge Guild, so they hoped that order would be stable so that business could flourish...
??Now after Luoyang was captured by the Liao people, Yingtian Mansion was about to be invaded by rebels. Zhang Yu knew very well that this worry was absolutely correct, but his eyes moved and he suddenly asked: "In that case, Mr. Lin's wedding,
Why did you just send congratulatory gifts instead of going to Yanyun to congratulate you in person?"
??Zhang Tang rolled his eyelids: "You are a businessman, but you also want to follow the dragon?"
??Zhang Yu changed his color and hurriedly bowed down: "I will forgive you, sir, but I don't dare to have such intention!"
??Zhang Tang slowly waved his hand: "Call me uncle. There are no outsiders here. It doesn't have to be like this..."
"You and Lin Yiyong have known each other for a long time. We had an alliance before when we divided the inheritance left by the Houjiang Guild. This man is indeed a man of benevolence, justice and trustworthiness, with both civil and military skills. I felt at that time that he was not
Unexpectedly, the things in the pool soared into the sky and reached such an extent!"
??"Now this person has a foundation in Yanyun. And with the people's aspirations in Hebei and Shandong, it's normal for you to have this idea!"
??Zhang Yu endured it, but still couldn't hold it back: "In my uncle's opinion, what should my nephew do?"
??Zhang Tang said calmly: "In my opinion, it is better to add icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need!"
??This may sound a bit strange at first. People often say that adding icing on the cake is worse than providing help when the time is right, but now it is the opposite. However, Zhang Yu understood as soon as he heard that this person did not agree to contact now, but wanted to observe the situation and would rather wait until the other party's foundation was established. Once it's stable, don't rely on the past anymore and don't gamble early.
"Of course*, since the Chamber of Commerce has decided to hand it over to you, the old words are only for reference. You should adapt to the situation and put the preservation of the Zhang family first!"
??Zhang Tang waved his hand tiredly: "I am already old. Rather than risk losing my life later, it is better to stick to this. You go quickly. The trail is secret, but it is not without danger. The thieves came suddenly and we don't have many.
Get ready, don’t delay any longer!”
??Looking at the leader who has been worrying about the Chamber of Commerce all his life, Zhang Yu showed a sad look, accepted the document, and bowed deeply: "Uncle, take care of me!"
??Watching Zhang Yu leave, Zhang Tang closed his eyes and began to make the last tea in his life.
??If we talk about treating Lin Yiyong, Zhang Tang still has the icing on the cake. For Zhang Xian, a rebellious bandit. As a descendant of the Zhang family, it is absolutely impossible for him to go along with him. He is older, and he is actually very...
He is afraid of death, but he will never allow himself to bring shame to his family.
??What broke his calmness was the noise and shouts of death outside. After a while, Zhang Yu unexpectedly left and came back again, with blood stains on his body.
??Zhang Yu said with lingering fear: "It was the gangsters under Zhang Xian who sneaked into the city, killed people, set fires, and created chaos everywhere. As soon as I walked out, I was attacked by a group of thieves. The leader was a well-known gangster named Shan Yaksha."
'Sun Yuan, my guard was defeated, but fortunately a pair of brothers passed by. The younger brother was very brave and helped me, so I was able to come back!"
??Zhang Tang was furious: "Lawless! Lawless! Are all the officers and soldiers in the city dead?"
??Zhang Yu said bitterly: "Since the official family moved the capital south and fled to Yingtian Mansion, things have become worse than before. The officers and soldiers left behind are all a group of incompetent people. The thieves came suddenly. Uncle can no longer stay. While there are righteous people to help,
