Peerless Pirates

Seeing that Xu Mingxuan was quite surprised, Song Zheng smiled and said, "Can't we just write about Tang Wan?"

Xu Mingxuan suddenly realized that if he wrote Tang Wan's name, he was only a general manager, working for Song Zheng and Tang Wan. Even if Huitong Trading Company developed well in the future, the Xu family would have no name to deal with him (Honghuang)

"As for the establishment of a trading house in Jinling, we need to communicate with various tooth shops and chambers of commerce. I guess Brother Xu has been in Jinling for many years, so he should be able to do this easily?"

Xu Mingxuan pondered for a while, "If we say we know each other, I know some of them. However, we are in different industries and we can only be considered acquaintances. Xiaolang may think of this matter too simply. Although our Xu family has a big business

It is big, but it is not the only wealthy family. The Xu family's main industry is silk and grain, but they are not very good at other conveniences. For example, the Gao family mainly produces tea and lacquerware; the Tan family mainly produces porcelain and wood;

Jijia is mainly a salt farm."

"Salt farm?" Song Zheng was surprised. Since ancient times, salt has always been owned by the government and is the main source of national tax revenue. The Ji family actually makes a living from the salt farm. I really don't know where it comes from.

"The purchase and sale of salt fields has always been under the supervision of the imperial court (the latest chapter of The Holy Spirit of the Dead). The imperial court levied taxes on official salt and monitored the output of official salt. Ordinary people, even if they refine their own salt, can only use it for themselves or sell it.

It is given to the imperial court and is not allowed to be bought or sold privately. Da Qi is hostile to Shu, Xixia, and Jin, so we are in the market

There is very little salt obtained, and not much salt is smuggled in. But our country, Qi, faces the sea to the east. From Dengzhou to Yuezhou, and even Mingzhou, there is salt production, and there are not a few who refine private salt. This

The Ji family not only owns three large salt farms in Dengzhou, Yanzhou and Yuezhou, but also controls more than 40% of the private salt trade along the Daqi coast."

Song Zheng nodded. He didn't know much about these things before, but today he suddenly understood after hearing what Xu Mingxuan said. "What is the origin of this Ji family?"

"Xiao Lang, think about it, there are still a few people named Ji in the dynasty."

Song Zheng burst into laughter. The Minister of Revenue, Ji Yong, who was in charge of Huang Yuandu's money bag, didn't know how much money he could get out of this salt. Unfortunately, he lost weight for the country and gained weight for himself. Daqi's border army had insufficient military pay, even

People like Qiao Zhenchuan turn a blind eye to smuggling in exchange for some wealth, which shows how poor they are.

Song Zheng asked Xu Mingxuan about the situation of major industries in the capital, and basically had an idea in his mind. Of course, these were far from enough, so Song Zheng told Xu Mingxuan that in addition to looking for two pieces of land, he should also inquire about various industries.

information and understand the market.

As for the specific operations of the trading house, Song Zheng explained it to Xu Mingxuan on the way to Jinling. Xu Mingxuan also knew the importance of information to the trading house. However, he still asked uneasily, "Xiao Lang, what about Huang Yue?"

In Jinling

He is a well-known domineering person. Although everyone is afraid of him on the surface, they look down on him in their hearts. People dare to be angry but dare not speak out. When we open a trading house, we must win over some merchants to settle in first. If Huang Yue takes the lead, I'm afraid it won't last long.

.”

Song Zheng knew what Xu Mingxuan was worried about, "Don't worry about Mingxuan. I'm just asking Huang Yue to handle official matters. The specific operations are still yours. If you encounter something that can't be solved, don't you want to

Leave your dealings with Huang Yue to me, and I will come out to find Huang Yue. Or someone else.

Prepare some use cases. In addition, you should win over more noble gentlemen like Zhu Youzhan. You can give some dry shares, but the amount should not be too much. The total sum should not exceed 10%, and they should be allowed to communicate with each other.

Mutual sales and transfers. After all, no one’s official career may last long.”

"Xiao Lang is thinking very much about (read the full text of Huanhua Wonderland). The only thing I'm worried about now is that we can't deal with those merchants. At first, they might give them a face and make one or two transactions in the trading house, but soon they will

We transferred to the Chamber of Commerce Dental Shop. After all, once the Trading House is established, there will be no need for the existence of those Chamber of Commerce Dental Shops. These guys are deeply rooted, and if they work together to obstruct us, I'm afraid Huang Yue won't be able to withstand it."

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Before you worry about success, worry about failure first. I'm very happy that Mingxuan can be so careful. However, caution is caution, and confidence is confidence. If Huang Yue can't stand it, there will always be someone who can. Don't worry.

.”

Xu Mingxuan looked at Song Zheng curiously, "I really don't know where Xiaolang's confidence comes from?"

Naturally, Song Zheng would not tell him the reason. As long as it is a merchant's house, it is estimated that no one has a clean butt. Those people are not afraid of officialdom on the surface, but they are afraid of secret agencies like the Imperial City Division. As long as they are careful, they can always find out

They need something. If there are really people who are blind, Song Zheng doesn't mind relying on the Imperial City Division to give them some tricks.

The two talked for a long time, and it was already past midnight, but neither of them had any intention of falling asleep. On the contrary, the conversation became more interesting. Song Zheng didn't keep any of the 170,000 taels of silver that Xu Mingxuan took out, and handed it all back.

The scale of start-up is naturally much larger than that of Licheng, and there are many places that need to be taken care of, which cannot be done with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

During the chat, Song Zheng suddenly remembered something, "Mingxuan, how is the person I asked Erhei to take care of you?"

Xu Mingxuan slapped his head and smiled sheepishly, "Look at my mind. I have been so happy these days that I almost forgot about this." As he said that, Xu Mingxuan took out an envelope from his arms and said, "That day you

After asking Erhei to find me, I arranged a yard for the man to recover from his injuries and invited two old ladies. The man was indeed strong and recovered quickly.

, I was able to go to the ground the day before yesterday. However, it will take half a month to be completely comfortable. However, when I asked Ah Rong to go over this morning, the gentleman disappeared, and the two old ladies were also confused.

I don’t know anything. I just left this letter on the table and I brought it to you. Xiaolang, I’m so sorry that I didn’t do anything good for you.”

Song Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Didn't Erhei tell you? That person can leave whenever he wants, don't worry about him (Electronic Fairy txt download). Mingxuan doesn't need to pay too much attention to this." Song Zheng said as he spoke.

, while opening the letter.

The letter was very messy, written in Chinese characters with Tangut script in the middle. Song Zheng secretly laughed. Li Yuanzhen spoke Chinese well, but his writing was very poor. He couldn't write some Chinese characters, so he had to use Tangut characters instead. Fortunately, Song Zheng and

During the days we stayed together with Li Yongxi, I also learned some Xixia characters and barely recognized a few. I could understand the meaning of this letter.

Li Yuanzhen's general meaning was that he was injured this time and was treated by Song Zheng, so he owed Song Zheng a favor. But when he recovered from his injury, he still had to find ways to capture Song Zheng and take him to Xixia. The letter also said

, Song Zheng was the champion of martial arts and the commander of the Qianhu Army. If he went back to Xixia with him, he would be given the same role as a general. And he would definitely be more important than in Daqi.

After reading it, Song Zheng couldn't help but laugh. Li Yuanzhen actually wanted to poach him. However, he paid close attention to Li Yongxi.

Speaking of which, Song Zheng felt quite helpless and blamed himself. Li Yuanzhen killed the people in the Imperial City Division, killed Xiaoping, the maid next to Li Hongniang, and seriously injured Li Hongniang and Yingji. Song Zheng should say whatever he said.

He spared Li Yuanzhen's life. But out of guilt for Li Yongxi, Song Zheng had no choice but to spare Li Yuanzhen's life.

It’s really confusing! Now that Li Yuanzhen is gone, Song Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, Song Zheng let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the fifth watch was coming. It was time to report to the Imperial City Division.

Xu Mingxuan was arranged to rest, and Erhei was asked to notify Ding Long and others. After the martial arts competition, Song Zheng received the emperor's order and allowed twenty sergeants to be summoned from the city guard. Song Zheng sent Ding Long, Qin Yihe and

Cai Sheng and others stayed.

According to the requirements, these twenty city guards would return to the city guards after accompanying Song Zheng to report to the Forbidden Army. However, Song Zheng let them go back directly after giving some instructions.

Song Zheng had other plans for these people. He was already the commander of thousands of households in the Forbidden Army, and he was also a tutor in the imperial palace. Sooner or later, the expansion of the Song Mansion would be a matter of time, or maybe another house would be changed. In any case, the Song Mansion needed to increase the number of people.

Some domestic servants (Read the full text of Confucian General of the Tang Dynasty). Buy some servants from outside,

Song Zheng is not at ease. The situation in Jinling will become more and more complicated in the future, and he cannot completely avoid it. The Song government urgently needs some force to defend itself. Ding Long, Cai Yong and others have been surrendered by Song Zheng. After a martial arts competition,

Song Zheng also felt reassured by them, so they naturally became the best candidates for Song Zheng's recruitment.

Although these twenty people are strong soldiers in the army, they are the lowest level people after all. Even if they can become a corps commander or even a commander in the future, without a strong backing, it will be difficult to become a hundred households, let alone a general. In the future, the only option is to quit.

In the army, they either went home to farm or work as nursing homes for wealthy families. Since Song Zheng gave them a way out, how could they be unwilling? They all expressed their willingness to serve Song Zheng.

After leaving Fengzhuyuan, Song Zheng walked southwest. Due to the southward expansion of Jinling City, the vicinity of Yuhuatai where the Song Dynasty was located became the northern part of Jinling City. The imperial city was built on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.

Three days have passed since the Daqi Wushu Competition, and the enthusiasm caused by it has begun to subside. It is almost the end of the year, and people are preparing to welcome the New Year, so the attention to the Wu Zhuangyuan Order has faded away. Wu Zhuangyuan is different from Wen Zhuangyuan.

There is no need to praise officials and parade around, and their influence is naturally not as great as literary achievements. After all, for most ordinary people, studying and doing lawsuits are serious things. Therefore, Song Zheng traveled south all the way. Although he met many people who got up early, there were no

Let’s talk about Wu Zhuangyuan Order again.

Now, only in the bookstore, the story of this martial arts competition is still being told. "Da Qi Wu Kuai Song Xiaolang" will definitely continue to tell it until the end of the year. This thing is a gust of wind. As the capital of Da Qi, there are many things under the imperial city

It deserves the attention of the common people. The martial arts competition held every two years is just one of them. People only know that the number one winner in this martial arts competition is called Song Xiaolang, who is under sixteen years old, that's all.

In the distance, the palace city is visible.

The general style of the palace city in Daqi is similar to that of the palace city in the Jin and Southern Dynasties. At that time, the name of Jinling City was "Jiankang". However, the area and scale of the palace city were much larger. The palace wall had three layers, inside and outside.

, the first and second levels of palace walls can be called the outer city, and the third level of palace walls can be regarded as the inner city.

Within the outer palace wall, the general palace institutions and garrisons are arranged. The expenses of the palace, internal affairs, etc. are all here, as well as the Imperial City's internal affairs department, that is, the imperial army.?
