"It's a full one hundred thousand taels, and he bought these cloths for ten thousand taels of silver. Add in the silver donated by wealthy businessmen and the court's disaster relief money. Do you think he needs money to buy food?"
The man looked down upon Jiang Shouren's short-sightedness. The master was right, the merchant's vision was too narrow and he would only focus on the little profit in front of him.
Still want to hoard rice and make a fortune? Before, hoarding was a guaranteed profit. But now that Mr. Gu has come to Jiangnan, can he allow such a thing to happen?
Master Gu is here, and he still dares to collect grain. Isn't this asking for death? If he hadn't arrived in time, this Jiang family would have lost a lot of money!
Fortunately, the master has a clever plan. In this world, the only person who can rival Mr. Gu in terms of strategy is probably his own master.
"The master said to sell these grains as soon as possible. Don't delay any longer, otherwise you will cry. Don't act rashly during this period. It will be convenient for us when Mr. Gu returns to the capital. The imperial court has adopted Mr. Gu's suggestion and has sent
Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs have come down to prepare for the establishment of a chamber of commerce. Regarding the chamber of commerce, the master has said that there are many benefits, but the premise is that you must have some status in the chamber of commerce. Try every means to increase your influence in the chamber of commerce."
The man looked at Jiang Shouren with contempt. These merchants had a lot of money.
If the master hadn't wanted to find out the news, how could he have anything to do with such a small businessman?
Jiang Shouren looked embarrassed, "The Xia family has deep roots in Yingnan Mansion. Even if I try my best, I still can't have a say among these merchants!"
"You don't have to worry about this. After the Chamber of Commerce is established, the master will give orders. All you have to do is follow the master's orders. Establishing a good relationship with those merchants will not only help you a lot in business, but you can also get information. You
Don't do anything inappropriate for a few days, and don't provoke Mr. Gu."
The man was still worried and finally gave his instructions again.
Jiang Shouren responded quickly, he was an official of the imperial court, how could he dare to provoke him?
Besides, the master he is taking refuge in now is a master who knows how to use dirty tricks. How can he dare to be disobedient?
"What's going on with the group I asked you to pay attention to recently?"
The man suddenly remembered something. Jiang Shouren was not useless at all. He could still spy on those people.
"A while ago, their leader went to Ju Mansion to meet with Ju Haoming. After he left, Ju Haoming will open all the rice shops tomorrow."
It wasn't until this person asked him to spy on Ju Fu that he realized that Ju Fu was actually hooking up with that person. Ju Haoming, who was so quiet, shouldn't be underestimated!
He was not ranked among the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. He had no wealth and no connections, but he was still able to be favored.
"Pay close attention to what's going on in Jufu. If anything unusual happens in Jufu, report it to me. Don't ask anyone to follow that leader. With the guards you have raised, it will be easy for others to notice if you follow him."
The man left Jiang's mansion and put the bamboo hat on his head.
He has a simple and honest appearance and is dressed in coarse cloth. If Gu Chengyu were here, he would definitely recognize that this is the waiter he saw in the teahouse that day.
Lu Chen sat opposite Gu Chengyu and looked at Gu Chengyu hard.
"Tsk tsk! tsk tsk!" Lu Chen shook his head and tutted.
Gu Chengyu put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.
The cooks here are very good at cooking. The dishes in Jiangnan are not as strong in taste compared to those in the north, but they are a little sweeter.
"It's been two days, and you haven't been shocked yet? Your ability to accept it is too poor." After Gu Chengyu rinsed his mouth, he stood up and stood in front of the window.
Except for being busy some time ago, he has been quite free in recent days.
If you eat and sleep, will you turn into a pig if you eat after sleeping? Gu Chengyu faced the falling rain outside the window and squinted his eyes. Is it time to take a nap?
"I didn't expect you to actually be able to do it! I really underestimated you. How did you come up with the tiger stool?" Lu Chen asked with interest.
"Did I do it? No! I didn't do it! Am I such a cruel person? How did I come up with it? That's very simple! You don't need to use your brain at all."
It’s really no need to use your brain, it’s all in your memory!
Lu Chen rolled his eyes at him angrily. Being smart seemed amazing!
"Are you really planning to let that person go?" He felt that he couldn't defeat Gu Chengyu, so he had better get back to the topic!
"Let him go? Maybe! But I just said to let him get out of that place, but there are conditions? Can't we work together to fulfill our promise? There is still some use in keeping him. Waiting for those people's lair
If he is served, no one will care whether he is alive or dead."
Gu Chengyu walked to the Arhat chair and sat down, signaling Mingmo to place the chessboard.
"What's the use of keeping him?" Lu Chen spontaneously walked to the Arhat chair and sat down, asking curiously.
"You want to know?" Gu Chengyu smiled, and then said: "It's not the time yet."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows. In fact, Gu Chengyu should be Xia Qing's disciple, right? They both have the ability to make people angry. Isn't it amazing how smart they are?
"Then you are not worried at all. Those people will come to assassinate you from time to time? Tigers also take a nap. If you are negligent, you will die."
Lu Chen held the white piece in his hand with a look of gloating on his face.
"Look at it, you give me the piece to capture as soon as you get started? I'm not good at chess, and I'm still doing two things. Playing chess with you, I can't win!"
Gu Chengyu sighed, feeling a little lonely at the top.
Lu Chen's face darkened as soon as he saw it, "I was distracted just now. This doesn't count. I'll start over."
As he said that, he reached out to take the chess piece in Gu Chengyu's hand. Lu Chen was stunned when his fingers traced the opponent's warm and delicate skin.
"Don't regret chess, you stinky chess piece." Not only is he bad at chess, but he also likes to regret chess. Gu Chengyu has a very big head.
In fact, he originally only planned to play with himself, but when Lu Chen sat on him, he couldn't let him get down, right? How hurtful would that be to his self-esteem?
"Sir! A letter has arrived from the capital." As soon as Ming Mo entered the study, he saw Lu Chen tugging on his master's sleeves and leaning forward, almost lying on his master.
He immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes like sharp swords, and shot towards Lu Chen.
This is incredible, is Master Lu planning to attack his own master?
But my master already has a fiancée, and he definitely likes women. Mr. Lu, please don't lead your master astray.
The adults in their family are so simple, so they should have less contact with Mr. Lu in the future.
No, after he returns to the capital, he will have to reveal this matter to his second aunt. Carrying on the family line is a big deal!
Gu Chengyu quickly threw the chess pieces into the flag box, "Not coming!"
This Lu Chen turned out to be a bad chess player, better than a beginner. Whenever he had something to do, he didn't want to play chess with the opponent again.
