Chapter 269 The Profit-seeking Nature of Capital

Although Wang Weiran was cheated, although he gained a lot, it also gave Zuo Menggeng a clear understanding of the profit-seeking nature of capital.

The Geng family, the Zhang family, etc., were they not close friends of the Wang family?

But when huge benefits appeared in front of them, they did not hesitate to act.

Taking the glass sales in Northwest China controlled by the Wang family as an example, if it operates normally, the annual income will be at least about [-] taels.

For this wealth, the Geng family and the Zhang family did not hesitate to turn their faces.

Although they were resolved by Wang Weiran vomiting blood, they still made a lot of money.

After all, Wang Weiran's mortgaged things also need them to deal with.

Zuo Menggeng knew people like Zhang Zonghuan and Geng Ruqi very well.

Are they bad guys?

From Zuo Menggeng's understanding, obviously not.

But why are these people so fierce when they see the benefits?
Is it capital or people that seek profit?

Zuo Menggeng encountered a new problem.

He knew very well that this was something he had to figure out.Otherwise, there will be troubles in the future.

In March's financial statistics, in addition to Fuyao Group, off-season vegetables have improved to a higher level.

This year, due to the participation of large households from Dongchang Prefecture, the size of the vegetable company has more than tripled.

Not only the sales area covers the entire Dongchang Prefecture, but also extends to Jinan Prefecture.

As soon as off-season vegetables were listed in Jinan Prefecture, they were enthusiastically sought after.

Although the price of vegetables is cheaper than last year, it is still a high-priced commodity.

Compared with the enjoyment of the tongue, the price of off-season vegetables is nothing to the rich.

For example, Wang Xiangchun's family ordered more than a thousand catties of fresh vegetables at one go...

De Wang's Mansion was even more arrogant, and even wanted to occupy the business, but was driven back by the responsible Wang Yun.

De Wang originally wanted to use the strong one, but Wang Yun drove the horse and showed Zuo Menggeng's signboard, and all the families in Jinan Prefecture immediately became honest.

Ever since Zuo Menggeng and King Heng had a big fight, everyone in Shandong knew that this guy was a thorn in his side.

Because Heng Fan offended him, not only has he not been conferred until now, but he still bears the name of a son, and the entire Qingzhou Mansion is still being ravaged by the White Lotus Sect, and Prince Heng's Mansion is shocked three times a day.

Thinking about the peace of Jinan Prefecture now, it is because Zuo Menggeng's subordinates are stationed here, and the thieves of the White Lotus Sect dare not come to harm.

If Zuo Menggeng was annoyed and he withdrew his army in a fit of anger, then Jinan Mansion would have a lot of fun.

Although the intention to seize the industry is gone, there are many people who are jealous when they see the benefits of off-season vegetables.

The Wang family even sent people to discuss the right to undertake the sale of off-season vegetables in Jinan Prefecture.

In the face of huge benefits, Wang Xiangchun has long forgotten that he had a bad fight with Zuo Menggeng before.

Everyone thought that Zuo Menggeng would sternly refuse, but they didn't expect him to readily agree.

"We can't penetrate into Jinan Prefecture yet, but it would be a pity if we don't seize such a big market. Anyway, it can bring us a lot of money. Who will do it? A little personal hatred can't be with Compared with the overall situation. Otherwise, why should I keep Wang Weiran?"

Hearing his explanation, everyone felt more and more that Zuo Menggeng had the demeanor of a politician.

Speaking of Wang Weiran, Geng Zhangguang revealed a situation.

"Wang Weiran tried to find me several times, asking about the situation of the new army, and mentioned the weapons of the new army many times in his words. I suspect that he has other purposes."

Zuo Menggeng sneered.

"Don't doubt it, he just has another purpose. It is estimated that Donglu got the situation of our army and asked him to spy on it."

Tang Gudai and others ran away from Qingshuiguan, and they would inevitably talk about the differences of the new army after returning.

Huang Taiji and other Houjin high-level officials are not fools, as long as they understand the battle process, they will know the tricks of the new army.

It is impossible for Huang Taiji not to pay attention to such a powerful enemy.

The Jurchens are too conspicuous, and Shanxi merchants will definitely be used by him.

Zuo Menggeng didn't care about such things.

"Wang Weiran is free to move around in Linqing, but he is not allowed to approach the major military camps and major factories. If he is dissatisfied, he can directly say that he is not allowed to enter or leave the important military area."

Liu Yiyuan had some doubts.

"In this case, will Wang Weiran make trouble as an excuse?"

Zuo Menggeng raised his eyebrows coldly, without wavering at all.

"Am I the one who cares about this? There are some places that even you are not allowed to enter. Why should he be an outsider? The more you tell him frankly, the more trouble you can save. There is no need to be hypocritical in this kind of matter."

Everyone looked at each other and realized that Zuo Menggeng was becoming more diverse.

In the matter of cooperating with Wang Xiangchun just now, he was flexible and changeable.Facing Wang Weiran at this time, he was firm and principled.

But no matter what, everyone thought about it carefully and found that what he did was really right.

It has been made clear that the important military places are not allowed to be prying, and Wang Weiran can't say anything.Otherwise, there are really ulterior motives.

At that time, if he really wanted to attack him, it would be his own fault.

Everyone doesn't know that sometimes rejection is also a very important knowledge.

After dealing with official business, it's time to go south.

For Zuo Menggeng's marriage, Huang was extremely concerned and personally sent it to the dock.

"After finishing the wedding in Songjiang Mansion, you must return quickly, there can be no delay here."

According to the marriage customs at this time, going far away to Songjiang is actually considered a marriage.In many cases, when the bride is picked up, she will return immediately.

If the distance is far away, even the groom will not go there in person, and the man's family will send a welcoming team to settle the matter.

In "Marrying the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair", it was because of this method that the two brides changed their husbands.

However, Zuo Menggeng gave Xu Ruolin absolute respect, and planned to hold a wedding in Songjiang Mansion now, and another one in Linqing.

This is a bit like the wedding customs of later generations.

Zuo Menggeng and Xu Ruolin bid farewell to the Huang family together and boarded the boat going south.

The team on this trip is very large.

In addition to Zuo Menggeng and the Xu family, there are also scholars from Jiangnan such as Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua, Huang Zongxi, Wang Siyi, Zhang Haogu and Chen Zilong.

Liu Zongzhou is going back to Zhejiang to do housework.

He will live in Shandong permanently in the future, and the family affairs in Zhejiang need to be dealt with.

Huang Zongxi also wanted to go home and arrest his two younger brothers.

In his words, the two younger brothers should not be allowed to waste time in Jiangnan, and it is only serious to come to Shandong to help.

Li Banghua's mind is the purest.

Now that you have decided to rebel, you may be noticed by the court at some point, so the safety of your family is very important.It's still safest to receive Linqing, with the protection of the army.

As for Wang Siyi and Zhang Haogu...

It is purely to join in the fun.

Hearing people say that Jiangnan is good, they clamored to go and see it.

Especially Zhang Haogu, Zuo Menggeng seriously suspected that this guy's purpose was not pure.

Chen Zilong and others obtained the manuscript of "Nongzheng Quanshu", published a copy, and prepared to take it back to Jiangnan.

Although they saw and learned a lot of new things in Linqing, they still won't return to their hearts for a while.In their minds, it is obvious that Jiangnan is better.

Zuo Menggeng didn't force it either.

Anyway, the situation will reverse in the future, and there will be a day when they wake up.

If you really don't wake up, the new army is not afraid of such enemies.

A group of more than ten ships, mighty and mighty, went south from Linqing along the canal, and received hospitality from various families in Dongchang Mansion.All kinds of expensive gifts are countless, and this alone may have earned back the expenses of this trip.

When he arrived at Anshan Lake, Zuo Menggeng deliberately stayed for a day to check the status of the fishery company.

Now the water system of the entire Anshan Lake has been completely opened up.

Under the guidance of fishery experts, Li Qingshan and others cleaned up the waters of Anshan Lake, making the geographical conditions for fish farming more favorable.

Tens of thousands of fish fry have been sown into different breeding areas, and aquatic vegetables including lotus root, wild rice stem, water chestnut, and Artemisia argyi have also been sowed. While increasing output, it can also improve the ecological environment of Anshan Lake.

"We have lived by Anshan Lake all our lives, and we never knew we could do it like this. From now on, we will be just like farmers, and we will be able to feed and produce, endlessly, so why worry about starvation!"

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Qingshan was filled with emotion as he watched the vibrant life on the lake.

So far, he no longer has any worries about surrendering to Zuo Menggeng.

Fuck his quacks!
Fuck him with lawlessness!
To his ease!

Compared with these big undertakings that can feed and clothe the villagers in front of them, nothing else counts.

"Do it well, and you will understand that the poor can also have different ways of living."

Zuo Menggeng felt the change in Li Qingshan's mentality very clearly.

It made him happy.

It is undoubtedly a huge achievement to transform a habitual bandit who robbed houses into a talent who can produce wealth and benefit the world.
