Peerless Pirates

From the completion of the examination to the release of the list of tributes, there are ten days in between (the latest chapter of the online game Galloping Fantasy). In other words, the Ministry of Rites will spend ten days grading the papers. Song Zheng methodically arranged for the trading house and Jiangnan

While the big family was negotiating matters, they kept an eye on the changes in the political situation.

The questions in the two general examinations of Economics and History are so outrageous that they have already caused an uproar (Latest Chapter of Love in a Fallen City). The common people do not understand the mystery, but for officials, the direction of the test questions is too obvious.

, they all focused their attention on the palace.

The strange thing is that there was no movement in the palace, and Pang Hui didn't even leave the door. Not only Pang Hui, but also Huang Yuandu didn't move. Song Zheng only learned from Huang Yue that Huang Yuandu secretly went to the palace, and after he came back, he was at ease, and even

I didn’t even ask about the test questions.

Song Zheng knew the reason why. Although the test questions had a meaning, they did not explain it clearly. If Pang Hui or Huang Yuanduo asked it, it would prove the issue of the palace coup at that time in disguise. If not, the officials would talk about it behind their backs. It would not matter if it were asked.

Not even if you ask.

In the meantime, Song Zheng naturally went to the palace, talked about his experience in the examination, and disclosed the examination questions to the little emperor. The little emperor's face was gloomy, but he didn't say anything in the end. At the age of the little emperor, with his mind, he naturally

Being able to guess the mystery behind the fire in the palace that year, I no longer believed it was an ordinary fire like I did when I was a child.

As a result, Daqi's political situation entered a delicate state. Everyone knew about the problems in the examination questions, but no one took the initiative to talk about it in public.

However, Song Zheng had a bad premonition and always felt that there was a hand secretly directing this matter. Otherwise, Guo Xingjia would never be able to risk the world's disapproval like this. Since that hand wanted to talk about the test questions, it would definitely not "just touch upon it".

There will definitely be some big move.

On the evening of the ninth day of November, one day before the opening of the tribute list, Huang Yue summoned Song Zheng and Lu Chun to go to Xu Mingxuan to discuss the latest progress of the negotiations.

"Xiao Lang, you seem to be in trouble now." Huang Yue said impatiently before he sat down.

"What trouble?"

"Something happened at the Bao family." Huang Yue said anxiously.

It turned out that on the fourth day of November, Huang Yue rushed to Yangzhou to discuss borrowing money with Bao Zhiqing. Unexpectedly, Bao Zhiqing, an old fox, saw clearly the stakes at a glance. Although he was not in Jiangning, he

He had a clear view of what happened in Jiangning (the latest chapter of Emperor Ping). He pointed out on the spot that Huang Yue wanted the Bao family to compete with everyone in Jiangnan, and wanted to put the Bao family to death.

Just when Huang Yue was at a loss, Mu Yi intervened in time and said that the prime minister knew that Huang Yue came to Bao's house. Only then did Bao Zhiqing realize something and agreed to consider the matter.

Just today, Bao Zhiqing sent a letter to Huang Yue and put forward a condition, that is, the nine major families, including the Bao family, the Ji family, the Dong family, the Xu family, and the Wei family, will jointly invest in buying the disposal rights of various branches of the trading company.

After the branches in various places are put into operation, they will give the trading houses a 10% dividend every year. What the trading houses have to do is to send experienced personnel to help build the branches in various places according to the trading house's model.

"These big families have united and want to eat us." Xu Mingxuan also darkened his face.

"That is, by then, only Jiangning City and Shandong Road will belong to our trading house, and the other Daqi Jiu Road will be divided up by these big families. They are all very beautiful, and one family will just take advantage of us." Xu Mingxuan was also angry.

typical.

Song Zheng smiled coldly, "These big families have been standing for so many years, so there are no stupid people. The key to their conditions is for us to send people to help them build a semicolon, not the 10% dividend."

Lu Chun knew business best and quickly understood what Song Zheng meant. "Xiao Lang said it right. The trading house was founded by Xiao Lang and his father after mutual agreement. In the past two years, a lot of experience has been accumulated, and various rules and regulations have been established."

Maturity. The purpose of these big families,

Just use the 10% dividend to buy all our experience and management methods. This is exactly what they lack, and it is also one of the reasons why they dare not set up another trading house casually, and it is not just because of '

The name of "Imperial Construction"."

"There's another great thing!" Song Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "I bet that as long as trading houses are established in various places, these guys will definitely try to deal with our Jiangning and Shandong Road trading houses, as long as they control the supply of goods to us.

Death, the Shandong Road side may barely be able to operate, but the head office here in Jiangning City will definitely die!"

Huang Yue and others all took a breath of air, they didn't expect this.

"Xiao Lang, what you said is really possible. Although they have increased the supply in Jiangning now, they can cut it off at any time. By then our trading company will exist in name only."

Xu Mingxuan clenched his fists and said.

Xiao Lang stood up and walked around the room. The others looked at each other and did not dare to say anything for fear of disturbing Song Zheng's thoughts. After a while, Song Zheng suddenly asked, "My eldest son, have you ever

Talk to the prime minister about the trading company?"

"Say it. According to what you said, I told my father the two strategies we discussed that night. After thinking about it, my father just said 'I understand' and said nothing else. Because

My father didn't express his consent clearly, so when I talked with Bao Zhiqing, I didn't say that my father knew about it. Mu Yi wouldn't have carried my father out if he hadn't been forced into a corner by Old Man Bao."

Song Zheng nodded. Although Huang Yuandu did not express his position, Song Zheng knew that Huang Yuandu still supported this matter, otherwise, he would definitely stop Huang Yue. It can be seen that Huang Yuandu also hopes to have a way to control the Jiangnan family.

Instead of being restricted by the big family like now.

"Mingxuan, where are you?"

"Oh, the memorial was submitted two days ago. However, there is still no news. What I am worried about is that the Queen Mother will suppress the memorial, or directly rebuke it. Even if it reaches the Holy One, the Holy One will not be able to write it.

Already."

"Well, don't worry about this for now." Song Zheng waved his hand. He still had to think of a solution for the little emperor. The current memorial must go to Queen Mother Huang Jiao first. Under normal circumstances, Huang Jiao only

Important memorials were approved, and unimportant ones were sent to the little emperor. Song Zheng was not sure whether Huang Jiao would intercept this memorial.

The current situation is obvious. Huang Yuandu secretly supports the trading house, but he is not so determined. On the one hand, Huang Yuandu does not want to fall out with the Jiangnan family. On the other hand, Huang Yuandu's energy must be focused on the turmoil caused by the exam questions. After all,

The latter is the top priority.

"Xiao Lang, after asking so many questions, you should make up your mind." Huang Yue became a little anxious.

"Why are you panicking!" Song Zheng glared at him, "Now the Bao family and everyone else have reached an agreement behind the scenes. No matter what we do, we are facing the entire Jiangnan clan (what is the end of love). They are working together,

Let's jointly attack us. Huh, that's a good idea! Is there really nothing we can do to bully me, Song Xiaolang?"

"What can I do? Tell me, Xiaolang!" Huang Yue was so nervous that he even waved his fists.

"Eldest Young Master, Ming Xuan, Lu Chun, this time, I want you to take action at the same time!"

"Okay!" The three of them replied in unison, like warriors obeying the charge.

"You go to the managers of Kaibao Bank one after another to discuss acquisitions or shares." Song Zheng sneered, "This was originally a move I would make in the future, but taking it out now is enough to deter them."

Huang Yue and the other three looked at each other in confusion, unable to figure out what Song Zheng meant.

"The most important transaction tool for the flow of goods in our trading house is bank notes. Currently, Jiangning Trading Bank uses bank notes from Datong Bank. On the Shandong Road side, Datong Bank is not that powerful, so

It is based on cash and amount

The banknotes of my bank are all mixed up. I originally planned to set up a bank on my own if I raised enough funds, completely leaving Chase Bank aside. In other words, wherever our bank opens, our bank will open.

where."

Huang Yue frowned and said, "But we don't have that much money now. I guess the banknote transactions in various places are mainly based on Chase Bank's banknote transactions."

"Yes. If our trading house is large enough and powerful enough, we can suddenly stipulate that all goods be traded in cash. At that time, a run alone will be enough to kill Chase Bank."

Xu Mingxuan and the other three looked at each other. He really didn't expect that Song Zheng had such ruthless methods.

"We don't have that much power now. So, I want the three of you to take action now and discuss with the manager of Kaibao Bank to become a shareholder of Kaibao Bank. The conditions should be higher, but not too high. Just set a percentage

Thirty."

"Will they agree?" Huang Yue said doubtfully.

Lu Chun finally woke up, turned around and said with a smile, "You don't understand what Xiaolang meant. Xiaolang's move was just a feint to scare your old uncle. Otherwise,

Why do the three of us go out together?"

Huang Yue suddenly realized it and couldn't help laughing.

"That's not entirely true!" Song Zheng waved his hand and said, "The headquarters of Kaibao Bank is in Tokyo (Kaifeng), and its power is concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River. Initially, Kaibao Bank was a joint venture organized by the military forces who accompanied Taizu to the south.

However, limited to the period of Taizu and Taizong, it was necessary to rely extensively on the power of Jiangnan people, so Kaibao Bank did not develop southward.

I estimate that they should have had an agreement with the Jiangnan people at first. But it is different now. The boundaries between the north and the south of the Yangtze River are no longer so clear. Over the years, with the stability of Daqi, the influence of many Jiangnan families has extended to the north of the Yangtze River.

Even Datong Bank has opened to Shandong Road. So, it’s not a big deal for Kaibao Bank to go south.”

Song Zheng took a sip of tea and continued, "If everyone in Jiangnan won't let go, I really plan to cooperate with Kaibao Bank to establish a foothold in Jiangbei first, and then slowly move south. We can even cooperate with the military to help all the people in Daqi

Border crossings and garrison camps in various places require astronomical amounts of supplies every year. If these supplies are purchased through trading houses, our rise will not be too slow. Cooperation with the military is also another backup method for me, although it is difficult

It’s big, but it’s not impossible.”

"Xiao Lang, I really didn't expect that although you don't care much about the trading house, you think so much about the trading house!" Lu Chun couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right, who is Xiao Lang! That's our backbone. If the trading house doesn't have big things, it's fine. If there are big things, Xiao Lang has to be at the helm." Huang Yue extended his thumb towards Song Zheng, "I see your cool little boy.

The name of Lang needs to be changed to 'Eternal Ichiro'. Isn't that right, Brother Zheng?"

"Nonsense!" Song Zheng scolded with a smile, "Do you want me to be scolded to death by everyone in the world? All the specific things are done by you. I am just a master and giving out ideas."

Everyone made a "cut" sound in unison.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about business first!" Song Zheng waved his hand and said seriously, "Although you all say you are going to attack at the same time, you can't talk about it together. That would seem like we are too impatient (Yu Ningling). In this way, the eldest son will do it first.

Say hello, then Mingxuan comes forward, and finally Lu Chun comes forward as the young proprietor of the trading house. As for the Jiangnan clan, there is no need to respond to them."

"Okay, I'll do as Xiao Lang says, I'll find someone to say hello tomorrow," Huang Yue said.

Major matters were discussed and decided, everyone drank for a while, and it was already Xu time. Lu Chun and Huang Yue left one after another, Huang Yue returned to his house, and Lu Chun went to the trading house not far away. Such a big thing happened.

, Lu Chun naturally wanted to inform his father, Lu Dafu.

Song Zheng was pulled by Xu Mingxuan to stay alone. Just as she was wondering, Tang Wan came out. Before Song Zheng could say anything, she fell to her knees on the ground.

Song Zheng was so frightened that he quickly got out of the way and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have something to do, please get up and tell me. I don't dare to accept such a great gift. Mingxuan, please get up quickly, Madam-in-law!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Mingxuan also fell to his knees and couldn't get up. Song Zheng couldn't help but darken his face, "Mingxuan, you and I, brothers, if you do this, you will really be out of touch."

Xu Mingxuan cupped his fists and said, "Xiao Lang, if it weren't for you, I would still be living in Licheng in a muddle-headed way, how could I be where I am today with Wan'er? You deserve our respect as husband and wife."

Song Zheng quickly waved his hands and said, "If this is the only thing, Mingxuan, you are wrong. Since we are brothers, we should help each other. There is gold under a man's knees. Kneel up to the sky, kneel down to the ground, and kneel to your parents in the middle. You are like this

If you do, you clearly don’t regard me, Song Zheng, as a brother! Do you have to force me to walk away? In the future, I won’t even be a brother?"

Seeing this, Xu Mingxuan pulled Tang Wan. Tang Wan also stood up, lowered his head and said nothing.

Song Zheng glanced at her sideways, "If I guess correctly, Madam-in-law is still after the Tang family's case?"

Tang Wan raised his head and said with tears in his eyes, "The Nu family has long heard that the Master of the Song Dynasty is wiser than Zhuge, and it is true. Please show mercy to me, the Tang family. Tang Wan will make a grass ring to repay the favor to the Master!"

At this point, Tang Wan had to kneel down again.~
