The Founding of the Red Chamber

Under the auspices of two great matchmakers, Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan, the girl from the Shi family married Duan Tianyu in this way.Originally, Governor Shi still thought, just get a concubine girl casually.In the end, Shi Shilang was unwilling to marry his best sister to Duan Tianyu.You said that Governor Shi was so angry that you married off your daughter with your front foot, but you beat Shi Silang with your back foot.

If you want others to be beaten by your father, that dutiful son, whoever dares to run, has to stand still and be beaten for love.Shi Shilang is different, he has read the book thoroughly, and knows the truth that the small stick is accepted, and the big stick is walked.Seeing that his father was serious, he immediately ran away and hid at his brother-in-law's house.

Miss Shi is really worthy of Shi Silang's sister, she has the same eyesight as Shi Silang, she fell in love with Duan Tianyu at a glance, and praised Duan Tianyu, "My mother has met me with so many families, none of them look like men. I think the general is so majestic. , I am very happy."

Duan Tianyu could only say, "I am also very happy to see my lady."

Both of them were happy, and they started to live their lives.

Duan Tianyu's family business is mediocre, mainly because he has just arrived outside the customs and hasn't robbed much yet.The dowry given by Shi's family is not bad, and, Miss Shi is so tough, one master and one master, the two of them live a very good life.

At the same time, the entire smuggling route outside the customs has spread out.

Guan Tingyu is sticking to the Muzhou Mansion, and refuses to open up the debate. It doesn't matter, Hanzhou City is open here.Lin Jing personally presided over the smuggling matter. The horses, cattle and sheep on the grassland entered the customs from Hanzhou City. As for the lack of firewood, rice, oil and salt on the grassland, everything can be traded for replacement.It's not impossible to exchange weapons. Lin Jing's disciple Xiaosan Ling Shuili got a lot of good knives from overseas island countries. Besides, a batch of weapons eliminated from Lin Jing's army can also be exchanged.

Such smuggling is often accompanied by bloody incidents.

Lin Jing was not afraid at all, and Duan Tianyu's elite soldiers were stationed in Hanzhou City, letting Duan Tianyu deal with the barbarians, even the barbarians couldn't bear it.If you can't beat it, you have to continue to conduct civilized transactions.

Lin Jing was still inquiring with Xu Nian, "How is your father?"

Xu Nian stared at his uncle dumbfounded, Xu Nian said, "Uncle, I haven't been home for several years."

"Oh, yes." Lin Jing asked, "Do you want to go home?"

Xu Nian, Xu Nian naturally wanted to go home, but he now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was asked to put down the soldiers and horses in his hands. These people were recruited and trained by him himself, so Xu Nian was also a little bit reluctant.However, Xu Nian still said, "I miss my family, if my uncle asks me to go back, I will go back."

Lin Jing said, "You must have a name when you go home."

Lin Jing regretted it again. In a fit of anger, he didn't think much about it. He should have let you go back.

The co-authored uncle still regretted bringing him together to rebel. Xu Nian handed him a cup of tea and comforted him, "There is no medicine for regret in this world, so please feel sorry for him, uncle."

Lin Jing laughed, "Are you kidding me?"

Xu Nian also laughed, "I'm not kidding uncle, it's just that when I go back, if my father asks me where I have been these past few years, I can't fool my father."

Lin Jing thought about it, "That's the reason."

Xu Nian is the eldest son of Xie Shangfei, who was polished by his father since he was a child. Speaking of which, Xu Nian is quite clever in war, and he leads troops with a style of a master. Be more particular, this is also the benefit of leading troops from aristocratic clans, and it is quite methodical.

Xu Nian is also a smart person, so he asked his uncle, "Uncle, are you thinking about the place in Jinzhong?"

Lin Jing said, "It's a pity that you don't have enough martial arts for your age, otherwise, I would have pushed you up. If your father is sent to Jinzhong, it will be even more difficult than the current dog of the Xie family."

Xu Niandao, "Actually, it's not impossible for General Qi to be bribed. Moreover, he has limited bravery. Last time Duan Tianyu raided the imperial capital, my family failed to defend Jinzhong, but it was General Qi who replaced him. I didn't say so. With Duan Tianyu here, I don't have to worry at all, General Qi is far from Duan Tianyu's opponent."

"That's true." Lin Jing asked, "A Nian, do you recognize the people from the Xu and Wei families in Jinzhong City at that time?"

"It's the Shanxi merchants who make ticket numbers, right?"

"Correct."

"I know." Xu Nian said, "They didn't come to my house very often."

Lin Jing said, "They have come outside the pass."

Xu Nian was a little surprised, and said, "At the beginning, my father wanted to introduce them to you, uncle, thinking that you might be useful to them when you are outside the pass. However, they were so arrogant at that time that they didn't take the land outside the pass. Put it in your eyes."

Xu Nian obviously knows Jinjiang very well, Xu Nian said, "Actually, after General Guan took over the Muzhou Mansion a few years ago, the business of Shanxi merchants was very difficult. Originally, they started from the Muzhou Quchang. Home. Later, the trading market was closed, and their livelihood in the trading market was cut off, and now there are only a lot of tickets left."

"This bank account is very important, Ah Nian. Think about it, so many people deposit money in their bank account, and everyone can use it as they want, and those who have no money are useless in their bank account. , How much money does this cost?" Lin Jing said with emotion.

Perhaps it was Xiaojiu Lin who showed his enthusiasm for the Shanxi Merchants Bank, Xu Nian whispered, "Uncle, you don't want me to rob them, do you?"

"Why don't you talk about uncle, uncle, uncle, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons. Ah Nian, you really have something to say to me." Lin Jing called Xu Nian to come to him, and said with a smile, "They Come here, just to beg for a bowl of food. But let them eat the food outside the customs, we have the final say." Let Xu Nian fight a catastrophe, but it's just to disturb, scare or not, don't be sincere Hacked all the caravans of the Xu and Wei families to death.

Xu Nian said, "I'm afraid they will have to retreat to Jinzhong if they are too scared."

"Hey, Ah Nian, you don't know. Every trade has its own weaknesses. Like merchants, their weakness is silver. Wherever there is silver, merchants must go. Let me put it aside, you can kill them all this time." It's okay, as long as there is profit outside the pass, they will organize their staff and come back outside the pass." Lin Jing said firmly.

Xu Nian said, "Should we just startle them?"

"Yes, they have come from afar, and they must be guarded by bodyguards. If they kill them with fear, they can stop."

Xu Nian understood a little bit, but he couldn't see clearly, and asked, "Do you want to use them?"

"Naturally, use them."

"Then uncle, you should be more careful. If these merchants start to do business, they will be able to split two or three taels of meat from the legs of mosquitoes."

"This time, give them a huge deal."

Lin Jing asked Xu Nian to prepare for hijacking the caravans of Xu and Wei. On the other side, he summoned Xiao Niuzi and said to Xiao Niuzi, "The Xu and Wei families are the largest merchants in Jinzhong. The head of the family. This time they came here, one is to see how our business outside the customs is, but the specific business is probably second. The biggest possibility is that, based on the current prosperity of our customs, they may want to build tickets outside the customs The semicolon of the number."

Xiao Niuzi thought that what Lin Jing wanted to confess was that the fat sheep would arrive soon, and the protection fees would be collected.Xiao Niuzi also said, "I heard that Shanxi merchants are very rich. Should we increase our protection fee?"

Lin Jing said with emotion, "I've been with Xiaosi for a long time, and I've learned the whole body of gangsters."

"It's not collecting protection fees, it's what to do, master, just tell me!"

"If they give you a gift, just accept it. If they say they want to issue a billing account outside the customs, there is one condition. We don't charge protection fees, but we want to buy shares. Moreover, it is not a dry stock, but a protection fee to buy shares. It must be written into a formal contract Above, the holders of [-]% of the shares."

Xiao Niuzi has managed Jinzhou City for four or five years, and now he is also in charge of Hanzhou City's affairs, so his knowledge is naturally incomparable to the past.The head of the little cow said, "I'm afraid they won't agree."

"If you don't want to, forget it. Let them go back and forth wherever they want."

Xiao Niuzi pondered, "If this business can be done, there will be a good income every year."

Only Tu Xiaosan could see Lin Jing's intentions.

Tu Xiaosan said, "Are we going to drag Jin merchants into the water?"

Lin Jing said, "We keep recruiting people, so we have to spend money. Even with the three cities outside the Guanguan, it is not enough. Not to mention others, the horses from the barbarians, the knives from overseas, and the weapons we mine and forge , plus the daily eating and drinking of the soldiers, they have to find a rich man. Furthermore, Shanxi merchants have deep roots in Jindi, so as long as we get rid of them, half of Jindi will be in our hands. "

Tu Xiaosan said, "I'm only worried, a villain of merchants, will inevitably repeat."

"Although merchants are villains, they dare to take any kind of risk as long as there is profit to be made."

Tu Xiaosan also knows what the situation of his brothers is now, they have to eat and drink every day, as well as weapons, which really cost a lot.Tu Xiaosan gritted his teeth, "Just do it like this! We who hold guns are afraid that they who run the shop will be tricked!"
