I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Before returning to Hangzhou, Zheng Zhipeng couldn't help but asked Yang Xu about his lack of money.

"If you are short of money, just tell me and treat it as if I lend it to you. Why don't you tell me? No matter how tight our family's position is, we can still get out 80 million."

Yang Xu scratched his head and smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Fourth Master would take such a small matter to your heart. It just so happened that the Weaving Bureau had such an opportunity. There is no such shop after passing this village. Old Yang deliberately pulled me. Of course, I have to seize this opportunity. In fact, the gap is not as big as the outside reports. Lao Yang promised me that I can give out half of it first, so that the construction site can be built first, and then when the construction is done later, I can sell the goods in the warehouse first. There are foreign goods at home and high-quality silk from the Weaving Bureau abroad. They are all good things that can be sold easily. The money from the sales can pay for the follow-up expenses of the construction site and gradually pay off Eunuch Yang’s money. Everything will be fine this year and next year, and I can cope with it for the time being. Of course, if I really encounter difficulties, I will definitely talk to Fourth Master."

Zheng Zhipeng frowned when he heard this and said: "In this case, wouldn't the capital chain be very tight? If there is the slightest accident, wouldn't it be that there is no money in one place and there is a shortage of money everywhere? Doing business, although you have to be brave enough to fight, but no matter what , you should keep some emergency money in your hand. With our relationship, why are you being polite to me? Let's do this, I will ask someone to give you a 10 tael banknote tomorrow, and you..."

But before Zheng Zhipeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "No need, Fourth Master. You have helped me enough. I am not in a desperate situation and I can't get through it without a helping hand. How can I use Fourth Master again?" Where is your money? If one day the capital chain is really broken, I will definitely come to you."

Zheng Zhipeng was silent for a long time after hearing this, but he could only nod his head and had nothing to say.

There is no reason for you to lend money to others if they don’t want it.

On the way back to Hangzhou, Zheng Zhipeng kept thinking about this matter. He even ignored the flirtatious glances given to him by the boat girl. Even the importance of this matter in his heart almost surpassed that of his relationship with the Donglin Party. war between.

After all, rights are essentially the management of people. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. After gradually gaining rights, although he has done well so far, he will inevitably feel a sense of lack of confidence.

Or insecurity.

It's not that he's really afraid of what Yang Xu will think. What he's afraid of is that he doesn't have the ability to hold power. And he personally promoted Yang Xu and watched him grow from a little brat to what he is now, so he's particularly interested in his ambitions. of heart.

He does not expect that all of his subordinates will have no ambitions, just like puppets on strings. The real masters of power in this world have always used the ambitions of their subordinates, rather than obliterating them. The only question is whether he has the ability to utilize ambitions.

When I arrived in Hangzhou, I walked to the Yangjiajiao store without realizing it. I thought I might as well have a chat with the Yang family’s wife. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen the Yang family’s wife for half a year, especially after I got Chen Yuanyuan, and even most of them I can't even remember that there is such a woman.

He couldn't help but smile again.

After entering the door, it was still bustling with people. Today's Yangjiajiao restaurant is no longer suitable to be called a corner restaurant. In fact, this is one of the largest restaurants in Hangzhou, but it does not take the high-end route, and the prices are still the same. As unpretentious as ever, not for making money, but just to accumulate reputation for Zheng Zhipeng and recruit talents.

Naturally, all the guests recognized Zheng Zhipeng. In fact, there were many Jianghu people living here, and many of them were just waiting for the opportunity, hoping to have a chance to meet the legendary Fourth Master Zheng, just in case he fell in love with him. If you do it, wouldn’t it mean that you will become famous?So soon, a circle of so-called heroes and heroes gathered around Zheng Zhipeng. They announced their homes and greeted him. The guards nervously formed a circle around Zheng Zhipeng, for fear that assassins from the Donglin Party would be mixed into them.

Zheng Zhipeng had no choice but to smile and wave his hands towards them. He exchanged simple greetings and it took him a long time to finally dismiss them.

Madam Yang was very excited when she saw Zheng Zhipeng coming. She quickly invited him to the private room upstairs. Then she sorted out the account books and followed her up. As soon as she sat down, she first lit incense for Zheng Zhipeng, which was his favorite plum slices and ambergris. The proportions of the mixture were also very suitable, and then he ordered the chef to make a few side dishes, all of which were Zheng Zhipeng's favorites. Compared to Chen Yuanyuan, who only knew how to make things spicy and spicy, they were nowhere higher than Chen Yuanyuan.

"The lady has a heart."

"Should be."

Zheng Zhipeng secretly looked at Mrs. Yang. He hadn't seen her for more than half a year. She seemed to be much more haggard. He couldn't help but want to compare her with Chen Yuanyuan, and found that... she suddenly looked much more ordinary, and she didn't feel beautiful at all.

Madam Yang didn't know what he was thinking. When she saw Zheng Zhipeng looking at her, she blushed a little unconsciously.

"The lady seems to have lost weight, but the store is busy?"

"Back to Fourth Master, the store is pretty good. Looking at your face, everything goes much smoother. Most of the ordinary groceries are done by someone else. My heart is mostly for Xu'er. It was my incompetent brother who fucked me.”

"Oh?" Zheng Zhipeng immediately tensed up after hearing this and asked, "Has Xiao Yang Xu had any difficulties recently?"

Madam Yang said: "Let's not talk about him anymore. It's all my family's business. I don't need to worry about Fourth Master. This is the account book from these days. In addition, these are the heroes I paid attention to for Fourth Master. Many of them were originally from the company." Among those who have served in the army, there are also a few scholars who have wandered around the world. I know that Fourth Master, you have many warriors under your command, but you are extremely short of people who can read and write. These few scholars, as well as a few accountants with good calculations, I'm keeping it for the fourth master for the time being, so I put it in the backyard. Would you like to see the fourth master later?"

Zheng Zhipeng frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "No, madam, what's wrong with little Yang Xu? Are there any difficulties in the relationship between your family and ours that you can't tell me?"

Madam Yang was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes filled with tears.

"This...what's the matter?"

"Fourth Master didn't come to see me today, nor did he come to see my shop. He came to ask about Yang Xu, right?"

"I……"

Zheng Zhipeng was speechless and couldn't help but secretly wonder, why is this woman's focus on questions and answers always so strange?

However, the Yang family's wife became a little cold and said: "Don't worry about the fourth master, we can handle the gap in Yang Xu's business ourselves. We can't just ask the fourth master for anything that happens to the Yang family." superior."

"........."

"........."

Zheng Zhipeng raised his head and glanced at the Yang family's wife. She looked as if she had been greatly wronged, but she was as cold as ice.

Completely confused.

What the hell is going on?Why are you suddenly angry?
