Fu Song

Chapter 377
A big guy that was a circle bigger than an ordinary carriage, pulled by two horses, stopped in front of Jia Gui.

The door of the carriage was opened, and a big head was poked out first. Looking left and right, the fat on the two sides immediately began to shake.

Even though the door of this carriage was much larger than ordinary ones, this man had to work hard to squeeze out from inside.

"Luo Gong, you've worked hard all the way!" Jia Gui smiled and took a step forward, bowing his hands in salute.

"It's really hard work." Luo Weixian, who was like a mountain of meat, wiped the sweat stains on his face and neck with a handkerchief, and a young woman who followed him out of the carriage was still waving for him until now. fan.Even so, there were still large beads of sweat protruding from Luo Weixian's face, and the clothes on his body were even wet on the chest and back visible to the naked eye.

This big fat man is the biggest silk merchant on Liangzhe Road. He holds the Silk Chamber of Commerce on Liangzhe Road in his hand.

"If it wasn't for Erlang, I would never have run all the way here at this season anyway!" Luo Weixian's expression was a bit resentful, and his tone was quite ambiguous. After hearing this, people who didn't know the truth really thought it was true. Goosebumps all over my body. "Where is Erlang, where did he go? No, we came, but he left again?"

"I went to Guanling two days before signing the judgment." Jia Gui smiled and said, "Isn't it not peaceful there a few days ago? The signing sent a general to guard there, and in just a few months, the situation there was leveled Bandits, we have reorganized a new army, please sign and inspect it! At the most tomorrow, you will be back. I expected you, Mr. Luo, to arrive at least tomorrow, but I didn’t expect you to arrive today.”

"Erlang recruits, dare you hurry up?" Luo Weixian laughed: "It's good to inspect the army, don't worry, don't worry."

"Please, Mr. Luo, the upper room has already been prepared for you inside, and there are everything you need to escape the summer heat, such as an ice bucket. Please, Mr. Luo, go and rest inside." Jia Gui bowed and gave in.

While speaking, another group of people and horses came in the distance. Unlike Luo Weixian's large carriage, this group of people consisted of dozens of knights guarding a small green cloth sedan chair.

Seeing the green cloth sedan chair, Luo Weixian, who was about to leave, also stopped.

"The Sea Dragon King is here, you must greet him!" Luo Weixian said, wiping the sweat off his face.

Zheng Zeshi, the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Quanzhou.

Different from Luo Weixian, this one is in the maritime trade business, with dozens of large ships in his family, he is a real giant in the sea.

Who asked Luo Weixian to demand this Sea Dragon King!

More importantly, this Sea Dragon King is not just a businessman!
Once the big ship goes out to sea, no one knows what it does on the sea.Anyway, there are thousands of merchant ships going to sea in Song Dynasty every year, and there will always be some who are buried in the sea and never come back.

Jia Gui even put on a smile all over his face, trotting all the way to meet him, seeing the fat on Zheng Weixian's face twitch.

In the past, such people, not to mention coming to Bangzhou, even Qianzhou, how could they set foot there?

Anyone who has a famous name on his own ground, or even in the shopping malls of the entire Song Dynasty, now, one by one has worked tirelessly to come to such a remote place in the eyes of outsiders.

In the past three days, people like this have arrived here one after another.

Because there is a person named Xiao Cheng here.

Because this is the headquarters of the Qianzhou Federation of Commerce.

Because they are all shareholders of the federation.

Or, when they invested in, they didn't expect the Chamber of Commerce to develop into what it is today, and they never expected that the current situation in the world would develop to what it is now.

When investing, what I looked at was the face of Sizhou Tian, ​​Bozhou Yang, and the face of the third secretary.

The downfall of the Xiao family had made them tremble with fear for a long time, fearing that Xiao Cheng would follow his elder brother's example in the Southwest to do something big. To peel off the skin.

At that time, everyone was in mourning and concubine examination!

But who knew, Xiao Cheng took a big step back.

Claimed to be missing.

Good job missing!In this way, everyone has room to move around. Who doesn't have a few backers?After a bit of operation, it is natural that major events will be reduced to smaller ones.

More importantly, Xiao Cheng's retreat has concealed many truths.

Come to think of it, even Li Fang, the Kuizhou road transshipment envoy, is helping to conceal it, let alone the real beneficiaries like them.

What's more, Xiao Cheng's retreat was to give them some leeway, and he really wanted to annoy Xiao Cheng. With Xiao Cheng's strength in Qianzhou, no one could stand the trouble.

Therefore, although the Xiao family seems to have collapsed, the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce is still operating as usual.

Every shareholder didn't dare to give a fart, and they did things in an orderly manner according to the rules established before, and they even gave up some of their own interests, so as to prevent Xiao Cheng from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

In their view, Xiao Cheng will most likely become a desperado now.

But the development of the facts made them shatter their glasses.

The imperial court gave a lot of benefits to the Liao Kingdom, and joined forces with the Liao Kingdom to encircle and suppress Xiaoding in the northwest.After the two battles, whether it was the Great Song Dynasty or the Liao Kingdom, in front of Xiao Erlang's elder brother, they were beaten to pieces and defeated.

Yeluxi's [-] troops were wiped out in one day.

On the side of the Song Dynasty, even Taiwei Zhang Chao also killed Hao Shuichuan.

Xiao Ding has completely become the king of the Northwest.

In fact, with the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, the three pillars stand together.

In the eyes of these people, it was really a big pie falling from the sky, and it was still filled with meat, hitting their heads hard.

How can wealth come the fastest?
Of course it is combined with power.

Don't look at Luo Weixian being respectful in front of Zheng Zeshi, but compared to who has more money, Zheng Zeshi really can't compare with Luo Weixian.Luo Weixian was afraid of Zheng Zeshi, because Zheng Zeshi liked to overturn the table, and he would send a few outlaws to stab people with knives at every turn. Everyone was a little afraid.

Xiao Ding is safe and has become the de facto Northwest King, so Xiao Cheng's worth is completely different.In the eyes of everyone, even if Xiao Cheng stands on the street and calls himself Xiao Erlang, all the officials will just pretend to be deaf and blind, unable to hear or see.

Unless the court beat up Xiao Dalang on the battlefield sometime, he could really straighten his back.

One million coins a year.

It was said that the imperial court rewarded Xiao Ding, but everyone knew that this was the imperial court paying tribute to Xiao Ding, and using money to buy peace.

But safety cannot be bought with money.

The imperial court gives Liao coins every year. Should they still be issued?

Isn't it hard to find a reason?
The strength on paper of the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce is already quite terrifying.

Leaving aside Sizhoutian and Bozhouyang, the two original major shareholders, Xiao Cheng already has Tiannan Army, Tianwu Army, and Han Kai's [-] Xiang Army in his hands. The reorganized troops, as you can see together, have exceeded [-] people.

These things can be seen in the ledger, because their salaries are paid by the Chamber of Commerce. In other words, they are the ones who are raising these troops with money.

The Tiannan Army still has a court establishment, and none of the others are reasonable and legal.

In other words, the imperial court really wants to investigate now. If they have one, even if they count one, it can be said to be treasonous.

But now, who can control them?
On the other side of Hebei, Yeluzhen, the newly appointed governor of Nanjing Province, was sharpening his sword again. Before the ink on the peace treaty signed by the two sides was dry, conflicts on the border had already occurred one after another.

Ma Xing and Wang Jun were in a state of confusion.

The Shaanxi Road was empty, the imperial court tried their best to deploy troops to the Shaanxi Road, compared to the Hebei side where there were more or less soldiers, Shaanxi Road was really swept away by Xiao Ding.

So now even if they do something in the southwest, the court can't control it at all.

Moreover, they are not rebellious!
They just want to do business.

It's just that the place to do business is a bit small now!

The business of our Great Song Dynasty has been developed to the extreme, and the profit has basically reached the peak. The room for development is really too small. After a year of hard work, the profit is simply appalling.

How to make big money?

Of course it is to develop places where those people are stupid and have a lot of money!

But the people in those places are unwilling to do business with us honestly, they will buy and sell by force at every turn, and they will charge us heavy taxes.

This is what uncle can bear and aunt can't bear.

We must teach them a lesson, otherwise where will our dignified Da Song face be put.

Well, we also know that the court is very difficult now, and has no energy or time to help us vent our anger, so we paid our own money and hired some warriors with a chivalrous heart to seek justice for us.

They are not an army, they are righteous people.

Yimin of the Song Dynasty.

Like that ignorant Luo Dian who robbed our caravan, now he is honestly doing business with us. As for where the former King Luo Dian went, we don't know much about it!
Such a large area cannot be left without an owner, so we elected a highly respected person to be the county magistrate there, um, he is the son of Luo Xianggong!

You see, we are loyal to the imperial court. We are still teaching those barbarians who do not accept the kingship for the imperial court, and we are still expanding the territory for the imperial court!

Recently, Dali is very dishonest!
Those of us in Song Dynasty were repeatedly bullied over there!Isn't it just seeing that our Song Dynasty has lost battles in the north and northwest, so we just kicked our noses?

This has to be taught!

Of course, Xiao Cheng yelled and brought these major shareholders to Bangzhou one by one, not only to teach Dali a lesson, but he also had many things to discuss with the shareholders!
After the liaison persons sent here by the major shareholders went back and told their owners what Xiao Cheng meant, everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't believe their ears.

Is there such a good thing in the world?
Originally, I thought it would be a surprise to lie at home and divide the money, but now I actually want to give up some power to myself?
All along, they have been very honest and dare not compete with Xiao Cheng for the leadership of the federation.

To put it bluntly, it was because Xiao Cheng's fist was hard!
Even Zheng Zeshi is honest and honest, but someone like Luo Weixian is even more cowardly.

Even when the Xiao family just fell, Xiao Ding was fighting hard, and Xiao Cheng retreated behind the scenes, they didn't dare to jump out to fight for power and profit, and they dare not now.

But no one expected that Xiao Cheng actually invited everyone to share the fruit together.

Can this not come?
If you don't come, your own fruit will be taken away by others, wouldn't you suffer a big loss?

Who does business for this purpose, who doesn't know that if there is no power to protect it, the business will be swallowed up by others sooner or later.How much money do they have to spend every year to keep their business running smoothly?

Who among them donated a lot of money to support poor students to study?

Who doesn't build bridges and pave roads in their hometown to help the poor?

Why?
Born to be kind?

of course not.

Therefore, even a person like Luo Weixian, who was about to shed a layer of skin when he went out, would not dare to be negligent in such a matter, and no matter how hard he was, he had to rush over in person.

The next day, Xiao Cheng did not rush back.On the contrary, Sizhou Tianchou and Bozhou Yangqing hurried over without making a sound.These two wanted to visit their own territory, but they had to cover up their travel and possessions. Both of them came, so it can be seen that this meeting is really special.

But what really shocked the businessmen who came all the way here was that they saw someone here who was absolutely beyond their expectations.

Guangnan West Road recruited Cen Zhong.This Cen Zhong can be regarded as a real court official.

The relationship between Cen Zhong and Xiao Cheng is extraordinary. When Cen Zhong took office at the beginning of the year, it was Xiao Cheng who lent him a thousand elites to go to Guangnan West Road. Some horses on the road were beheaded.

But it was precisely this kind of bloody method that made Guangnan West Road calm down immediately.

The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were much more powerful than the military generals when it came to killing people.

It is easy for generals to wear a hat of killing innocent people on their heads.

Civil officials, especially those who have reached a certain level, do not have this worry.

All of a sudden, the threshold of Cen Zhong's residence was about to be broken through, and these businessmen rushed over like flies smelling the smell.

Guangnan West Road, that is also a good place!It was cleaned by Cui Zhong just now, it is very clean, it is a good time to enter.And since he appeared here, he was naturally a member of the federation.

Fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders!

Of course, there are a lot of family members here, who can share a little more can still depend on each family's ability, can't it?
But Bozhouyang and Sizhoutian were neglected.

These two families belong to the whole world in the local area, so they can't do anything, and they can't make much money.Naturally they lack interest.
