Feng Jueyu praised without hesitation: "Tong'er is so smart. When it comes to business acumen, she is no worse than Miss Shangguan. From now on, the operation of Jishifang will depend entirely on you."
Being praised by Feng Jueyu, who even compared her to Shangguan Ruomeng, Tong'er's little face suddenly flushed, and she looked shy like a flower in bud, or like a growing red apple, which made Feng Shao angry again.
Emotionally.
"Young Master praised me, how can Tong'er be compared with Miss Shangguan?"
Feng Jueyu frowned and said: "Tong'er, don't belittle yourself as a human being. What happened to Shangguan Ruomeng? She just has a good family background and has someone to teach her, so she has achieved what she has today. Tong'er has no one to teach her, but she can draw inferences about other cases from one instance.
Regardless of experience, just talent, Tong'er is not bad at all, you have to be confident as a person."
Xiao Yuanshan's eyes were rolling. Seeing the two people's expressions expressing affection, his heart suddenly lit up. He rolled his eyes and patted his thigh and said: "Young Master is right. Sister, when Jishifang becomes bigger, you will also be the boss of the Li family."
Miss, she is no worse than Miss Shangguan."
As he spoke, Xiao Yuanshan blinked at Tong'er. Tong'er understood and lowered his head, his pink neck flushing.
Gongyang Yu looked at the two of them, sighed helplessly, and said to himself: It's over, the good cabbage has been given to the pig...
Afterwards, Feng Jueyu made arrangements for the next few days, then left Xiao Yuanshan's residence and returned to Shangguan Mansion...
…
In the Shangguan Mansion, the old man Shangguan Lingyun was sitting in his study. There was a thick stack of rosters on the table. The names of all the people in the four states, three provinces and six counties who were involved in robbing the destroyed materials were clearly recorded in the roster. Pick it up and look through it.
He looked at it, and then he threw it on the table angrily, feeling extremely bad.
Shangguan Ruomeng was sitting at the bottom, sipping tea silently, saying nothing, seeming to be thinking about something...
The sun was setting in the west, and it was just after noon. The small courtyard was surprisingly quiet. The masters of each house were taking a lunch break, and the servants were also rarely lazy. Shangguan Lingyun sat up from the back of the chair and said in a hoarse voice:
"The Gold and Silver Society has been taking action against the Shangguan government since this morning."
Shangguan Ruomeng listened quietly and asked: "Is the loss serious?"
Shangguan Lingyun said: "Seven important branches were destroyed by masters, three medicine gardens were on fire, and goods on the main roads leading to Dongzhou and Xuzhou were robbed. It seems that we have offended the Gold and Silver Society this time."
Shangguan Ruomeng's delicate body trembled. The Shangguan family has many branches all over the country, but there are only ten important branches. Seven of them were destroyed. The loss was already very heavy. Not to mention the three medicinal gardens.
The base for cultivating medicinal materials, as well as the goods robbed on the official trade route, are also the key to determining the Shangguan family's recent profits.
In one morning, the Shangguan family's property suffered a devastating blow all over the country. Even a super aristocratic family could not bear it. How could Shangguan Lingyun not be angry?
Shangguan Ruomeng had a cold face and said in confusion: "This Gold and Silver Society is the largest killer organization in the country. It engages in the business of using people's money to eliminate disasters. My Shangguan family can't afford to offend, so we are here along the canal."
We deployed the Mu Family Army’s men, but we didn’t kill their people, so why did they deal with us?”
In the material delivery last night, the Shangguan family had already made rectifications that were disadvantageous to them. The reason why they asked the Mu family army for help was because the Shangguan family could not afford to offend the Jinyinhui. They had received wind that the Jinyinhui was dispatched this time.
They are all killers trained in the gang. If they suffer serious losses, they will definitely anger the Shangguan family.
If the Shangguan family had always been in the Tiannan Imperial Capital, they would not be afraid, but if their business had a wide coverage across the country, they would be afraid that gold and silver would jump over the wall in a hurry.
After making so many preparations, he didn't expect that in the end, the Gold and Silver Association would still go crazy. Shangguan Ruomeng couldn't figure it out, what was it for?
Shangguan Lingyun knocked on the table and said: "The Gold and Silver Society has made waves in the world. The people dispatched this time have the children of two hall masters. They were both killed by a mysterious man in the battle along the canal. And this man
He is not Mu Qianjun, but he has the talent to lead an army. What is even more suspicious is that this person is not from Mu Jiajun."
"Not from the Mu Family Army?" Shangguan Ruomeng was stunned for a moment.
"No." Shangguan Lingyun said resolutely: "So the Gold and Silver Society mistakenly thought that they were the masters sent by my Shangguan Mansion, so they angered the Shangguan family. This is understandable. I have already expected that after this incident, I will stand with the Gold and Silver Society.
On the other hand, I didn’t expect them to be so crazy.”
"Also, according to rumors, during the battle last night, the Mu Qian army along the canal was entangled with the blood-piercing sword Yan Wu. Originally, the Mu family army led by Yang Huaiyi was about to be completely annihilated. In the end, it was because of the appearance of this man that not only
He rescued Yang Huaiyi and others, and reversed the overall situation. He killed the Gold and Silver Association and fled in embarrassment. He became the key figure to ensure the safe departure of the supplies. Ruomeng, according to you, who could this person be?"
Shangguan Ruo dreamed for a while, shook his head and said, "My grandson has no idea whether grandpa has ever given up his education at the border. If he really exists, the people in Mu Qianjun must know who he is."
Shangguan Lingyun said: "I have sent the letter of divorce to the border. It will take at least ten days to get the answer after correspondence. At present, Shangguan Mansion's property outside is in danger. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Shangguan Ruo dreamed about it and said: "This matter is related to two major things. One is the safety of all the people in my Shangguan family's property outside. Since the Gold and Silver Association does not intend to leave a way for my Shangguan family to survive, we are not as powerful as them."
, it is better to withdraw all outside industries directly and ensure the safety of personnel first."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded. The Shangguan family is indeed a big business and powerful, but it is still inferior to national killer organizations such as the Gold and Silver Society. The key is that the Gold and Silver Society is elusive and there are countless killers in the organization.
Count, even the leader of Tiannan Kingdom has a headache, so the Shangguan family is naturally no match.
"Secondly, the results of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce President's election will be announced in a month. In the past, although we couldn't win much compared to the Xu family and the Chen family, we still had the upper hand. But now something has happened, Jin
The Bank Association's suppression of our Shangguan family was unexpected and devastating. If we withdraw all stores across the country, we can certainly reduce losses, but it will be an indelible blow to our sales in the next month. Even if we
No matter how much we have the upper hand before, we will eventually be completely defeated. The president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce will be chosen from the Xu family and the Chen family."
"Grandpa, Ruomeng heard that the integration of the Chamber of Commerce is related to the development of the pharmaceutical industry in the future. In Tiannan now, Shangguan, Xu, and Chen are three families. Now the emperor clearly wants to leave only one family, so whoever wins
If we can survive, the other two companies will gradually decline. So we have to fight for it. The matter of supplies for Western Xinjiang was handled by my Shangguan family. For the sake of the country, we offended the Gold and Silver Association and influenced the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
We cannot sit still and wait for the election, I plan to find Mr. Zhang Changling, and even if I find the emperor, even if I cannot win the position of the leading pharmaceutical company, I will at least try to reduce some sales share and regain the disadvantage."
Shangguan Lingyun closed his eyes, feeling very irritated. Shangguan Ruomeng's words were also something he had been thinking about recently, but that Zhang Changling was the husband-in-law of the eldest princess, the emperor's brother-in-law. He was usually selfless and wanted to break through from him.
It seems impossible. You can ask the emperor for this matter, but it may not be possible to ask Zhang Changling. Even if Zhang Changling knows that the Shangguan family has made contributions to the country, he will definitely be selfless when it comes to the Chamber of Commerce.
Who calls him the emperor's brother-in-law? A bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion? Or a great Sima, who even manages the business of the entire Tiannan. This is a figure who is equal to the prince, or even more terrifying than the prince.
If there is anyone in Tiannan who dares not to buy the emperor's face, I am afraid that only Zhang Changling...
It's hard to see him,
It's even harder to get through his back door...
He was originally a guy who couldn't get enough of oil and salt...
Shangguan Lingyun collapsed weakly on the chair. In fact, he, the Seven Kings of Tiannan, is very good at fighting and commanding troops, but when it comes to doing business, he is far behind. The reason why the Shangguan family started is entirely because of the royal family.
As a result of their cooperation, when it comes time for him to abdicate, it all depends on who in the family has such a mind.
There is no doubt that Shangguan Ruomeng is a leader, and we have to rely on him for this matter.
Shangguan Lingyun sighed: "The Shangguan family relied on the leader of the Tiannan Kingdom in the early days of starting a business. Today, we can only rely on ourselves. Fortunately, the Shangguan family has Shangguan Ruomeng. Meng'er, as I said again, grandpa will not give you tasks.
Pressure, if the matter of the Chamber of Commerce can be solved, just solve it. If it can't be solved, forget it. As long as grandpa is still there, even if the family business fails, there is still no problem in keeping the family safe for a while. But those losers who only know how to eat and wait to die, I
Can you still care about them for the rest of their lives?"
Shangguan Ruomeng paused and said, "Ruomeng will do his best to persuade Mr. Zhang."
Shangguan Lingyun did not answer, and the two ancestors and grandsons were silent for a while. Shangguan Lingyun asked: "You went to Jishifang today. Did you find anything?"
Shangguan Ruomeng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's ridiculous to say that. I thought the gold and silver would be unlucky. They had no purpose. They just came because a boy accidentally discovered that there was a spy in Shangguan's family and wanted to ask for some reward money.
I sent someone to deliver the letter. Ruomeng has checked the background of Jishifang and there is nothing suspicious about it."
"Oh? The Gold and Silver Society is really unlucky. Such a big thing was ruined in the hands of a kid."
Regarding the matter of Jishifang, the two ancestors only exchanged a few words and then stopped thinking about it. Shangguan Lingyun asked again: "By the way, I heard that you went to the lake with Feng Jueyu yesterday. What happened next?"
Later, Shangguan Ruomeng was dejectedly happy, took out an invitation letter from his arms, and said speechlessly: "Speaking of Brother Feng, Ruomeng really can't see through him. I must have heard that grandpa also heard what he said about Ma Yuanru being speechless.
He even said some good words and sayings: "Be anxious when the world is worried, and be happy when the world is happy later." This is really impressive."
Mentioning Feng Jueyu's words in the small pavilion in the lake to refute Ma Yuanru's arrogance, Shangguan Ruomeng's mood suddenly became brighter, and even the previous frown disappeared. She said: "Grandpa, Yi Ruomeng saw that most of the changes in Brother Feng are
It is related to the mysterious master who taught Shangguan Ruofan. We have been observing him for a long time, and we have been thrown away by him several times. If we continue to follow him, there will be no progress. In my opinion, it is better to make the words clear.
It also saves you the trouble of thinking wildly. I’m sure the master won’t be unhappy.”
Shangguan Lingyun thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll think about how to tell him. Oh, by the way, the Seventh Prince has recently suffered from a strange disease, and the imperial doctor in Ouchi has been unable to do anything about it. Meng'er, you've made us pregnant Call all the doctors in Rentang, especially Kong Qiao, and ask them to take a look. There is one more thing..."
Shangguan Lingyun suddenly paused and his tone became very low: "I heard that Xu Ziyang is coming back..."
"Xu Ziyang?" Shangguan Ruomeng was slightly startled, with an expression of pain...
