The news of Su Ren's return soon spread in Wenshui. Ever since Laojun's view became the norm, many people have been watching and relying on this place. In the past two months, Laojun's view has been very nervous. Everyone has been nervous
I felt that if Su Ren was away, Liu Wen would definitely take revenge, but in the end he died down for no reason.
Su Ren stretched out and looked up at the big tree beside him: "It's better here. Drinking tea under the tree in Wuyang won't feel so good."
Hawking was sleeping on the table, and his sleeves were wet with saliva. He was so drunk last night that he was unconscious, and his head still hurts. Hearing Su Ren speak, he raised his head and wiped his saliva: "I feel like I'm back."
It’s boring, nothing happens, it’s like just eating and waiting to die.”
"Haha, there are only two of us now. Can you tell me why you hate the old Taoist priest so much? Even if he beats you, it's because you are not as good as others. There is no need to always show the old Taoist's face, right? In other words, that is also cold and cold.
And Leng Yue’s master.”
Hawking shook his head: "I don't know, I just can't stand it! I feel that the old man is hiding something from us, but he doesn't tell us. Since we are all relatives, what can't we say? I don't like this feeling of concealment."
"That's why! Who doesn't already have some secrets? I have them all, and I don't want to tell you."
"But I know you won't harm us!" Huo Jin looked around and focused on Taoist Chongxu's room: "This old Taoist is very sinister, brother, be careful."
"When did our little Jinzi learn to read people?"
Su Ren also felt that this Taoist priest Chongxu was a bit strange. Needless to say, he was very good at martial arts. With such skills, what could he not do? As a Taoist priest in Laojun Temple, even if he offended Liu Wen, Liu Wen could not do anything with his skills.
You may not dare to come to take revenge. Isn’t that reliable? You have been staying by the Minjiang River to pay attention to Laojun Temple. You are worried that Leng Jun and Leng Yue will be embarrassed by Liu Wen. Are you responsible? If something goes wrong, abandon the two brothers and run away. Like this
A multi-faceted person is indeed rare.
Hawking snorted coldly: "Just watch! When I find out, I will definitely shock you all."
"Forget it, stop checking!"
"Why? This old Taoist priest is not a good person!"
"Since he is Leng Jun, Leng Yue's master, what if you find out the problem? Let your second brother take action?"
Hawking was speechless for a while and asked, "Do you believe it?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as he doesn't do anything detrimental to us, let him go!"
"Okay, I will definitely keep an eye on him."
Even after drinking tea, I felt uneasy. Since the morning, people have been coming to visit Su Ren. At first, they were just common people who used to work here, and later they became the three elders in the village. When Cui Jiuming walked in with a big belly,
The courtyard was already full of people, sitting or standing, listening to Su Ren talk about what they did in Wuyang, how they teased the Yelang people, and how they sold the tea grass that could be seen everywhere for sky-high prices.
"Those Yelang people are stupid and easy to deceive. As long as you tell them that these are the best things for big men, they will be willing to buy them back for ten times or dozens of times. I once sold a pack of dried meat. Guess what?
Guess how much it sold for? A full one hundred dollars!"
"Oh! One hundred dollars is enough to buy twenty shi rice." The crowd exclaimed.
"So, let's just expand production and bring them all with us when the caravan comes back. We will definitely give you a good price."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Su! Thank you, Mr. Lao Su." Everyone expressed their thanks in a hurry.
Cui Jiuming stood at the door and listened quietly. Needless to say, he had made money doing business with Su Ren in the past few months. He was considered Su Ren's largest purchaser and shipper. How much money did Su Ren earn?
.I couldn’t help but feel funny when I heard Su Ren fooling these common people.
Su Ren saw Cui Jiuming and waved quickly: "Mr. Cui is here. Ask him. He transports goods for us from Zitong. He knows how much he can buy. If you don't believe it, you can ask."
After chatting lively for a while, everyone was very confident that Su Ren's Yelang would go into business. Under the suggestions of several old men, they went home with satisfaction to step up production and prepare to make a good fortune next time.
After sending away the nearby villagers, Cui Jiuming said with a smile: "Why would Mr. Su deceive these ordinary people? Aren't you afraid that if you don't meet their expectations, problems will arise?"
"The supply exceeds the demand. Now is a good time to expand the market. If we cannot provide more goods, our trade routes cannot expand, and that will cause problems. How about it? Mr. Cui, do you want to add some goods? I promise to buy a good one.
Price."
"Hey! I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy!"
"I heard that Mr. Cui has contacted several other merchants. I think we can set up a Shuzhong trading bank, led by Mr. Cui, and we cooperate. In this way, the problem of goods will be solved, and everyone can make money.
The wise choice for long-term development is to tie everyone's interests together. Of course, we don't force it and join voluntarily."
"This is indeed a good idea, but I can't be the initiator. It is best for Mr. Su to take the lead. I will cooperate with you next time."
"I'm afraid this won't work!"
"Why?"
Su Ren smiled and said: "Mr. Cui can think about it and go back to discuss it with your father. I am indifferent and lazy and cannot be the leader. As long as my share is not missing when the time comes."
Cui Jiuming has been dealing with Su Ren for such a long time, and he finally understands that as long as you don't have bad intentions towards Su Ren, Su Ren is definitely the kind of person who can benefit everyone. This time Su Ren proposed the establishment of Shuzhong Trading Bank
He really had to go home and discuss the matter with his father. It was a good opportunity.
As soon as Cui Jiuming left, Chang Shi came. He took a simple car with him and only took Chang Yuan with him. The difference between rich people and poor people was very prominent in Chang Shi. In the past, Chang Shi lived a simple life and regarded himself as an upright official. Now Chang Shi is no longer rich.
Even though I have a double chin, I always have a smile on my face no matter who I talk to.
Su Ren hurriedly saluted: "The county magistrate is here in person, and we, Laojun, will shine even though we encounter obstacles!"
Chang Shi laughed and said: "Mr. Su has provided enough food and clothing for our Wenshui people and traveled around the night. He is really a role model for us. If we are not herdsmen for the emperor, I would go to the Yelang with Mr. Su to earn a few more copper coins for our Wenshui people."
.”
"The county magistrate is an official of the imperial court. Nowadays, there is so much copper odor in his words. It really shouldn't be the case!"
"Uh! Hahaha!" Chang Shi laughed and said, "A good official is one who can feed and clothe the people. I can see it now. Since the Yelang Trading Road was opened, bandits have disappeared in Wenshui. The people are diligent, not me.
To boast, this warm water is probably one of the few wealthy places in Sichuan, right?"
"It's all thanks to the county leader's governance. The court must have seen it, and the county leader may have to be promoted a step higher?"
"Oh?" Chang Shi's face became even brighter, and he turned back to Chang Yuan and said, "Did you see that Mr. Su's intelligence is rare in the world? He can see so many ways in the world with just these two sentences. This matter has not yet been determined."
"Then congratulate the county magistrate in advance!" Su Ren winked at Huo Jin: "I brought something from Yelang when I came back this time. The county magistrate will take office soon, but it is still useful, so consider it as my congratulatory gift.
I wish the county magistrate a successful career."
"What should I do? Your great talent cannot be buried. I will definitely advise the court and promote you as a filial and honest person to show your great ambition."
Changshi returned happily with Su Ren's generous gift. Su Ren kept sending it for two or three miles, and the two of them chatted and laughed happily. They finally got rid of the vampire Changshi, and as soon as they stepped into Laojun Temple, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside.
Holding a riding crop in one hand, Hou Jian came in like a storm: "Hahaha, I thought you would just hide in Yelang and never come back! How about it, this trip to Yelang went smoothly?"
"Thank you very much for your concern, the county magistrate. Everything is fine. Thanks to the magistrate for taking care of me during this period, I am very grateful!" Su Ren saluted quickly.
Hou Jian supported him and said, "It's a big mistake to say this. I'm not that ordinary. I only recognize money and not people. We have agreed that the three of us will do business. Mr. is in danger alone. We can take the money freely. If we don't do anything,
It’s really unreasonable.”
The two sat down, and Hawking changed the tea cups and made a new pot of tea.
Hou Jian took a sip of tea and gave Su Ren a thumbs up: "Sir, you really have a way. I heard that the imperial court has already dealt with the Liu family. This time, I came with Da Xing Ling. Although I don't know how to deal with it, it seems very...
severe."
"How harsh?"
"I don't know about this. I also heard the news from Chengdu. The Empress Dowager was so angry about this that she even threw her beloved things." Hou Jian paused for a moment: "Now sir, can you tell me, what exactly did Tian Fu give to him?"
What was written in the letter?"
Su Ren smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. During the Seven Kings Rebellion, Liu Wen's father, Liu Tang, once led the clan's children and brought nearly half of the family's wealth to King Qin. I wonder if the county captain knows about this?"
Hou Jian was shocked: "I have heard that the Liu family suddenly disappeared overnight. Someone made such a guess. I really don't know if it is true or not."
"According to my analysis, the matter should be like this. When Liu Tang led his people to leave Shuzhong, it was not because of King Qin, but because he wanted to participate in the Seven Kings' Rebellion. After the Seven Kings won, he would be considered a prince and could naturally occupy it.
Wen Shui restored the territory of the Dian Kingdom, but it was a pity that the Seven Kings were so powerful that they did not pay attention to Liu Tang's hundreds of people and tens of thousands of stone grain and grass. Or maybe because General Zhou Yafu's troops arrived too quickly, the general
Liu Tang's way was blocked. In short, Liu Tang and the Liu family's nephews were unable to achieve their wish, so they had no choice but to move to the Liang Kingdom. Together with the Liang Kingdom, they fought to the death against the rebellion of the seven kings, and finally became King Qin's army."
"Tian Fu once said that Liu Wen had something to do with the palace. I thought about it but couldn't figure it out. Later I figured it out. Prince Liang is the Empress Dowager's favorite son. If Liu Tang helps Prince Liang defend the Liang Kingdom, the Empress Dowager will naturally feel that
Liu Wen belongs to one of our own, and it is not difficult to maintain him."
Hou Jian broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. Even he didn't know how secretive this matter was. He didn't expect Su Ren to be able to guess the key to it just based on clues, how terrifying this person must be.
"County Lieutenant! County Lieutenant!" Su Ren called twice, but Hou Jian showed no response.
