Chapter 606 Zhangjiakou is destined to be named Zhang!

When Zhang Cheng and Su Yiyang were talking about the fake military ticket on the North Road in Zhangjiakou, Zhang Chengfang's voice came from outside the door: "Father, Tongzhi Gao is here to invite you to the mansion for lunch."

Zhang Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he raised his voice and asked outside the door: "What time is it?"

"Marshal, it's already time."

Zhang Chengfang's voice came from outside the door, and he went on to say: "Tongzhi Gao said that Vice President Lin and the others are going to go to Tangquan in the West of the Fort to rest for a few days after lunch, and then pay homage to Marquis Zhenrong of Changping at Yanggong Temple when they come back."

"Know it!"

Zhang Cheng stood up after answering casually, and said to Su Yiyang with a smirk, "Since he wants to get my military ticket, he will have to ask his mother to donate all his family wealth to me."

He continued: "You will stay in the town during this period of time, closely monitor all movements in Zhangjiakou, and find out their smuggling routes, sources of goods, and warehouses everywhere."

Zhang Cheng raised the fake military ticket in his hand again, and said: "Whoever is involved in this matter, you must investigate clearly. When I return to the division from Liaodong, I will have a thorough liquidation with them."

Without waiting for Su Yiyang to reply, Zhang Cheng had already started walking towards the door. When he reached the door, he stopped again, turned around and said to Su Yiyang, "Since it's called Zhangjiakou, it must belong to my old Zhang's family."

After he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out. In the side hall, only Su Yiyang was smiling wickedly. He smiled for a moment, then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said softly, "Please don't worry, Marshal. Don't let him escape!".

…………

Zhang Cheng accompanied Lin Dengyou, Liu Guangwu and other generals after lunch, and personally sent the generals of the town out of the city. He also ordered Jin Xinpeng to accompany several generals, and asked Gao Jingong to bring more followers, wine and meat, especially the "Yunzhou brand" Cigarettes and "burning knife" spirits must make several generals enjoy themselves.

Faced with Zhang Cheng's enthusiasm, it made Lin Dengyou, Liu Guangwu and other generals feel a little sorry, and they rode horses outside the west gate to the south bridge.

Zhang Cheng sent the generals away and rode his horse to the generals' office, called Zhang Chengfang on the way, and said to him: "Go and send an order to Chen Zheng, telling him to go to Yongning tomorrow at noon to join Zhang Guodong, Li Jiyu and the others.

Their three infantry battalions will set off first as the commander's former army to aid Liao. I will go to Yongning in person in three days to present the flag for them and toast the army to practice! "

"Here!"

Zhang Chengfang promised loudly, and was about to leave, but Zhang Cheng ordered again: "Report the date of the departure of the former army to the governor Liu adults."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he urged his horse back to the general office, where there were still many people waiting for him to be interviewed, among them were those who came to congratulate Zhang Cheng when he got married, such as Qing'an, Liangzhuang shopkeeper Cheng Ruzhi, Hongyuan Fu Shaodong Zhao Zhenju, Tang Zhiyi, the owner of Wanhebu Village, Yang Wanjin, the owner of Shunlongchang Niu Mahang, Xu Qingyi, the owner of Sihai Automobile, and other major merchants in Xuanzhen.

There are also old acquaintances such as Shanxi Ruichangtai owner Wang Muchen, Datong Qiandeji Qin Zichen, and some merchants on the North Road. They have all joined the smuggling business group organized by Zhang Cheng before. Some losses, although the profits obtained in the previous period are more than enough to make up for these losses.

But how to proceed in the future?You can't just quit the smuggling business, it's a money-making gold bump!

…………

These merchants only know how to pursue profit, and don't care much about national righteousness. There are really few people with integrity, but it's not like there are none, just because the proportion of merchants is too low to be highlighted.

Of course, they all came here in the name of congratulations, and they didn't dare to say anything in front of Zhang Cheng. The businesses on North Road were divided into factions earlier, but since Zhang Cheng arrived, there have been changed.

Especially after the forces of Xue Liangqing and Wu Youlu were eradicated, Zhang Cheng let out the word that all merchants on North Road must follow the military orders of the Guards and serve the Kaiping Guards in accordance with the requirements of the Guards.

Moreover, they have to pay commercial taxes in accordance with the regulations, and carry out the smuggling trade under the organization of Diao Dacheng, the treasurer of Rishengchang Commercial Bank, according to the allocated amount.

There have always been rumors among the merchants on North Road that the owner behind Diao Dacheng is actually Zhang Cheng, the deputy general. After all, Diao Dacheng came from Zhencheng after Zhang Cheng left Zhenbei Road. Since then, Rishengchang Trading Company has monopolized the bulk trade, especially the smuggling business must be joined in his caravan before it can be carried out.

But even so, they still dare to say anything. The title of "Slaughter Zhang" has reached the point where children can't cry at night on North Road and East Road. Facing Zhang Cheng, the reincarnation of "Heavenly Killing Star", what can they do? ?
What's more, Zhang Cheng is not competing with the people for profit. Although he has started to increase business taxes since he came, Zhang Cheng has also brought prosperity to North Road and East Road, and organized them to carry out unified development according to the size and ability of each company. For the Mongolian smuggling business, each family has made a lot of money.

The nature of businessmen is fully reflected here. As long as they are making money, it is not a problem to endure hardships, and even be punished to death, but as long as they can make money, they are willing.

Once the speed of making money slows down, or encounters obstacles, they are more anxious than dead mothers, jumping up and down and starting to toss.

This is also on Xuanzhen North Road, where Zhang Cheng is famous for killing, so they didn't mess around, but organized a group to visit their deputy Zhang to complain, and asked Zhang Cheng to find ways to change this situation.

…………

After Zhang Cheng returned to the general office, he first met Cheng Ruzhi, Zhao Zhenju, Tang Zhiyi, Yang Wanjin, Xu Qingyi and others in the back hall. They were all big local firms in Xuanzhen, and they had profitable business in their own right.

They came to North Road to make friends with Zhang Cheng, nothing more than betting on a future and forging a good relationship in advance, this was the common routine of those big businessmen in the Ming Dynasty.

They understand the principle of "you can't put all your eggs in one basket" best. When they meet young and promising officials like Zhang Cheng, they will take the initiative to look for opportunities to make friends, so as not to become prosperous in the future, but never have the opportunity to climb up relation.

These big businessmen have accumulated millions of fortunes over several generations, some even more than a dozen generations. Making money is no longer their top priority. Keeping their family's wealth has become their most important thing.

For their initiative to come to make friends, Zhang Cheng naturally opened the door of convenience, accepted all the generous gifts, and opened some doors of convenience with them. Under his rule, everyone can do business on an equal footing.

Of course, those who sincerely contribute will still have some privileges secretly, and the so-called equality is only superficial.

For the time being, they have nothing to ask for from Zhang Cheng, and they all know that Diao Dacheng's caravan on the North Road was blocked in Zhangjiakou, but no one mentioned it, and they all took the attitude of waiting to see what happens before making a decision.

Zhang Cheng has already set the tone with Su Yiyang on the matter in Zhangjiakou, that is, wait until the Liaodong war is over.

If they didn't mention it, Zhang Cheng naturally wouldn't mention it at this time. Everyone chatted happily, and it was nothing more than congratulations to Zhang Cheng for getting Lin'er's blessing.

However, Zhang Cheng revealed a piece of information in the chat with them: he has sent troops to Liaodong this time, and there is a large amount of military supplies such as grain, gunpowder and guns that need to be raised and transported. If they are willing, they can help with it.

As for money, Zhang Cheng still has no shortage of money, so naturally he won't renege on his debts!
