All-round way to money

"I want to go to Shisan for a walk."

Cheng Kun thought, why does the gang leader think that it's a one-off?

"I have to go and see."

All right, all right, go see it if you want, no one can stop you.

"Hu Fei wants to bring Miao Renfeng to seek medical treatment. You arrange people to take care of them all the way. I'm afraid their journey will be uneven. When they arrive, send them to the chief rudder of the Cao Gang and hand them over to old man Jiang. The affairs of Huaizhou Church are up to you Write back, saying that I am sure. After taking over, Luo Gui will go to the main hall to pay homage to the patriarch, and keep him. Be sure to meet him when he comes back. Also... If someone from the Jianghu comes to the door, prevent the people from Yaowanggu from coming. Poison, don’t get used to it, if someone has trouble with us, don’t keep your hands. Kill what should be killed, and behead what should be killed. Also guard against treacherous villains.”

Chu Ran explained everything he could think of.

"Also... If Fukang'an is in office, he should leave the ceremony, don't miss it. The filial piety that should be given should be given normally. It's the same with Changlin. But if he has excessive demands, delay it first. Wait for me Come back and deal with it."

"The governor's mansion didn't feel sorry for us at all. I heard that the teacher of the government office had a drink with He Teng twice. I heard from the old man that the teacher seemed to be the master Feng Jing of the Qinghe Church of the Tiandihui 20 years ago. magpie." The old man is the veteran of the Salt Gang, and he has followed the three gang leaders. Sometimes he can bring thousands of salts and travel thousands of miles to transport salt. It is rare that he doesn't know the two thousand-mile salt road and doesn't give it to him. A face-saving figure in the rivers and lakes.Now in his 70s, he opened a small noodle restaurant opposite the governor's yamen in Jiangning.Hiring someone to do the work, his old man puts a rocking chair at the door every day, and when he lies on it, he smokes a pipe. There is nothing that he doesn't know about the ground in Jiangning.

"The Heaven and Earth Association is really possible. I just don't know whether it is to instigate He Teng, or to help Changlin ask for money. Let's just watch. Alas, if the Cao Gang doesn't have old man Jiang, I'm afraid it will be torn apart in the future. Why? Teng is not someone who can control people." He is a strong general, but not handsome.Chang Xian is also talented as a manager. 72 and a half piers, more than 200 gangs, the two of them can't hold back.

But that's something inside the gang, and it's not good to pay too much attention to it.

After arranging the affairs of the gang, Chu Ran set off for the Thirteenth Bank.This time, there is no self, and there is no Yizhuang, the leader of the Salt Gang, can not be Yizhuang, and there is no need to Yizhuang.He brought lotus seeds and the daughters of two gang elders, both of whom had been practicing martial arts since childhood, so taking them with him was like seeing the world.One is Shen Xiang and the other is Mu Die.They also followed the transport of salt and ran over salt, growing on horses.In addition to these three girls, there is Chen Changsheng, who is in charge, and sixteen guards, these are accompanying, and naturally the various gates along the way will also take care of them.By the way, I also visited the salt road going south.

The walk is not fast, there are no fast horses, two carriages, one for people, one for luggage, plus a dozen or so horses, they walk slowly, and every time they reach a town, they stop for a while, to have a look, to see Look at the market for salt.Meet the brothers of the Salt Gang, and meet friends from the rivers and lakes who are close to the Salt Gang.

Jianghu is far from fighting and killing, it is more social and entertaining.

I went to the thirteenth line and walked for more than two months.Along the way, not only a few girls have gained insight, but Chu Ran's eyes have also been opened.

When we arrived at Shanghang Street, we were even more shocked.The two big money bags of Lord Qianlong, the salt merchant in Yangzhou, and the peddler in Guangzhou.Yangzhou is where the Salt Merchants Association is located, and the original person often goes there, and he has seen the prosperity.It is still different from Thirteen Lines.There are thousands of merchant ships on the pier, row upon row. On the street, there are men and women of all skin colors and costumes, and there are blond and blue-eyed ones everywhere.The shops on Shanghang Street are one after another, selling lacquerware, silverware, porcelain, textiles, paintings, and sculptures.Tooth merchants, salt merchants, iron merchants, rice merchants, sugar merchants, silk merchants, pottery merchants, pawnbrokers, cloth merchants, and drug dealers all couldn't come here.

"Master Cheng?"

On this day, Chu Ran was shopping with a few girls in foreign goods stores, and didn't pay attention to who else was in the store.

"Master Jiang? Nice to meet you."

This person is Jiang Tingwan, the youngest son of Jiang Chun, the general manager of Yangzhou Salt Merchants Association.Jiang Chun was the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou. Emperor Qianlong asked him for money. He had to donate when he ran out of money for war.He still had to donate the cost of the southern tour.Qianlong called him an acquaintance of commoners, and he was commensurate with his friends.In Jiangnan, that is the person who can really influence Jiangnan with a single sentence, and he is the guest of honor of the governor.People from Taiwan and Taiwan have to salute when they see others.In the past, in the eyes of big salt merchants and officials, the Salt Gang was just running errands, carrying jobs, Liba, and long-term workers, and they could not get on the table.It was precisely because of Fourth Master's elimination of tyrants in the south of the Yangtze River three years ago that the two gangs of Yancao came to the front of the stage.Every one in Jiangnan counts as one, and no one cares about Cheng Huaixiu.

Jiang's family, on the surface, looks impressive, rich as an enemy, grand in appearance, grand in popularity.Actually?Donate several 10 taels of silver every year, and still have to maintain huge daily expenses. To put it bluntly, how much difference can it be from the Jia Mansion in the Dream of the Red Chamber?Cheng Huaixiu didn't know about this, but Chu Ran did.Back then, when she was Queen Nala, she accompanied the emperor on his southern tour and met the female family members of the Jiang family. The emperor gave her a popular science about the ending of this person in history.In the end, he died of poverty and illness.They never survived the Qianlong Dynasty.

This Young Master Jiang is the youngest son of a concubine.As soon as he was an adult, he separated from the family and worked on his own.I didn't work as a salt merchant either, but only sold goods from north to south, specializing in foreign goods.It's not that he fell out with his family. On the contrary, his father and brother fully supported him in starting a business.Ask money to give money, ask people to give.The former gang leader didn't understand, but Chu Ran could almost figure it out. They all said that eggs should not be put in one basket, and the risk can only be shared if the family is separated.

"I thought I had admitted the wrong person, but it turned out to be Chief Cheng. Last year, we had a farewell in Yangzhou, and we hadn't seen each other for a long time. Please stay safe, Chief."

When Jiang Tingwan greeted Chu Ran, he also murmured in his heart.In the Jiangnan area, there are rumors about the anecdotes between this gang leader and Lord Qianlong, and it is said that this is the confidante who formed when Lord Qianlong was in low service.But now, the one who was assassinated was seriously injured and returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, and he didn't spend half of the money the family had prepared.But this one can go shopping in the Thirteen Lines with a relaxed face?If that was the case, why would she appear here?Could it be that those scandals are all fake?

"Stay safe."

Chu Ran coped with it.

"What kind of goods does the gang leader choose? I still have two points of face in these thirteen lines. If you need anything, I'll let someone arrange it?"

Mr. Jiang is dressed as a literati, and he himself studied with everyone. He is a Confucian businessman.Holding a fan in his hand, he is polite, with a smile on his face, and a three-point affinity.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang. I just came here to check the market. I don't have anything to buy."

Chu Ran couldn't tell what she was here for.Really come and see.

"Then I won't bother the leader. I will be the host another day, and I will ask the leader to reward me."

Speaking of which, the encounters away from home can be regarded as fellow villagers.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there."

Chu Ran didn't refuse.

After Mr. Jiang left, Chu Ran and the others went on shopping. When they were tired, they found a restaurant and tried local delicacies, as well as many foreign flavors.The little girls almost vomited.I kept shouting that I couldn't eat anymore, please spare me.

As for the fruits, there are many varieties, fresh and delicious, and I really tasted it.Chu Ran also bought a lot of seedlings and planned to take them back and try them out.

"Oh, what is this? It stinks to death, boss, how do you eat it? Throw it away?" Chu Ran bought a durian on the street and brought it back to the rented yard. Before it was done, the lotus seeds covered it Hide with your nose.

"This is delicious. Let me cook today and make something delicious for you."

Chu Ran went back to the house to change clothes.

She said that she wanted to cook herself, but she scared Lianzi enough. Her family leader can do everything, even ten men can't match, but can cook?She has never seen it.

"Sect Leader, Sect Leader, shall I help you?" Both Shen Xiang and Mu Die had to behave.

"Forget it, I'm afraid you two will tear down the kitchen, and I have to accompany the landlord to repair the house."

In fact, it is not troublesome to do anything, durian, in addition to eating it directly, the subconscious reaction is durian cake and durian stewed chicken.They didn't dare to eat such a big one, and Chu Ran got tired of eating a piece by himself.There is so much left, enough to cook as many dishes as possible.

There are frying pans for sale in foreigners' shops, and they have bought them back.Made mille crepe cake.The chicken was stewed in a casserole again.Added a lot of medicinal materials such as ginseng, wolfberry and jujube.

One by one, they are full of food.The guards don't like to eat sweets, and it's not easy to grab them from the little girls. They only eat chicken, and they are almost reluctant to spit out their bones.

Chen Changsheng was Cheng Kun's apprentice, and he was well-known in the main hall, so he wasn't short of money.After eating well, I asked Chu Ran when I turned around, and taught the chef how to do it. I went to the street and bought several large casserole pots, bought the ingredients and stewed them.

Seeing how they were tossing about, Chu Ran couldn't persuade her, and said euphemistically, this thing is very hot, and they have made a lot of effort, and they are the ones to bear it.Don't listen.Then in the middle of the night, each of them stayed awake, practicing in the yard, taking cold water...

Should.Who made you greedy.

"This is the last fruit of that barbarian shop, and I snatched it."

A group of young lads, who had no memory, went to buy durians again after a few days.Come back and show off.

"Why is there only one left? Last time we went, didn't there still be a lot? Will others eat it too?" Lianzi asked curiously.

"It is said that Jiangping came to Jiangping with a man named Xiao Da, who established a stronghold on Lantau Island. Nowadays, those who do business at sea have to pay tribute to him, otherwise the route will be impassable. The former shopkeeper Zhou of Yihexing All the fruits in the store were wrapped, and the head of the house said it was the best one, so I sent it over."

What Chen Changsheng does, I have already found out.

"Master Xiao is in charge? What kind of character?"

Chu Ran's ears perked up when he heard the surname Xiao.

"Who can come out of Jiangping, a pirate. This guy just came out. He said he killed a few big bosses, gathered hundreds of ships, and left Jiangping to stay in a place called Lantau Island." The place is not far from here. I hide my identity and do business with the Thirteen Banks. Everyone knows that there is such a number one person, but no one can tell what he looks like and where he is." Jiangping is at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. The area where the three don't care, the gathering place of pirates.

"What's Xiao's name?"

"It seems that the name is Xiao Yu or Xiao Yu. I don't know if Lantau Island has anything to do with him."

Chu Ran stroked her forehead, oh, Mr. Xiao, your status is absolutely perfect.

The BGM of One Piece started playing in her mind.
