Chapter 326 The Return of the Army
Chapter 326 The Return of the Army
The northwest corner of Yangzhou City.
Ji's mansion.
It is different from the noise and whining under the Iron Buddha Temple.
Although the Ji family's mansion is busy, with servants and maidservants coming and going, but everyone has a knowing smile on their faces, and there is a strange sense of peace amidst the bustle.
Jiming sat in the main seat in the main hall dressed in regular clothes, and looked at his Yangzhou colleagues who were inexplicably surprised with a smile on his face.
Last night, like everyone else, he couldn't sleep because of Su Jing's words.
Even until this moment, he still couldn't maintain peace in his heart.
When the people in the seat heard Ji Ming's words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and the sound of breathing heavily spread throughout the hall in an instant.
If Ji Ming hadn't vowed to protect his family and life, everyone would have regarded him as insane.
Entrance with cheap merchants? !
The sons of the clan are officials? !
For thousands of years in the Central Plains, there has never been such an earth-shattering speech.
If it was known by a group of old masters who closely guard the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, they would beat their chests and fight Su Jing desperately.
But if Su Jing is serious and trustworthy, it will be a big deal for Yangzhou merchants.
Isn't it just to get rid of the shackles of lowly status that everyone has worked hard all their lives?
"Master Ji.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really allowed me and the others to enter the palace?
If I throw away my family and property, and His Royal Highness makes a mistake and repents, I'm afraid it will be..."
The big man with the beard headed on the right asked tentatively.
Jiming hasn't answered yet.
The white-clothed scholar on the left responded with a smile: "Patriarch Wang.
Patriarch Ji is willing to spend half of his wealth to test His Highness, why are you so worried.
Is it really as rumored.Although Patriarch Wang disagreed with Guo Cheng on the surface, he had a close friendship with him in private.
What's more, like your surname, your Wang family is Guo Cheng's spies kept outside? "
"Bastard!"
Patriarch Wang slapped the table heavily, pointed at the scholar and shouted loudly: "Xiang Feng, stop talking nonsense here!
It is well known that the old man and Guo Cheng have enemies, so how could they have a deep friendship with him in private!
Instead, it was you Xiangfeng.
The old man especially remembers that a year ago, your Xiangjia caravan was repeatedly robbed in Shu.
Thanks to Guo Cheng coming forward to take care of you, your Xiang family is safe and sound.
If there is really a traitor between us, it must be you, Xiang Feng! "
Xiang Feng's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
Facing the suspicious gazes of others, he pouted and said, "Wang Zhen, don't spout blood here!
Others don't know why Guo Cheng is like this, don't you, Wang Zhen, also really don't know?
For the sake of the Shu road business, the old man gave Guo Cheng [-] copper coins!
I have been running the Xiang family in Sichuan for three years, and I have not made such a big profit! "
Wang Zhen sighed and shook his head, feeling a bit of sympathy.
If Guo Cheng hadn't treated him like this back then, he wouldn't have had an open quarrel with him.
Now the Wang family has been blocked by Guo Cheng except for the Huainan Road trade route.
If anyone present hated Guo Cheng the most, it must be Wang Zhen.
But also because of this, his Wang family's financial resources are slightly insufficient among the crowd.
Once he tried his best but it was useless, his Wang family might really fall out of the ranks of wealthy merchants.
"Cough cough~"
Seeing everyone hesitate.
Ji Ming coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Everyone, I just got the news.
The Guo family went to defend, but was arrested and imprisoned by His Royal Highness.
The great monk of Tiefo Temple went to question him, but was also suppressed by His Royal Highness sending troops to ransack the house.
Even Zheng Shanguo, the Zheng family of Xingyang, also retreated in a few words from His Highness.
Obviously, the Guo family is doomed to doom this time, and I will wait for the merchant to make a decision that morning. "
Wang Zhen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said gloatingly: "Hehe~
He Guo Cheng has always been extremely conceited, this time he dared to send someone to intercept and kill His Highness' relatives.
Now the old man wants to see how long he can be so arrogant! "
"Ugh!
The old man really doesn't know why Patriarch Wang is so happy?
Could it be that Patriarch Wang really doesn't understand.
Guo Cheng is so unwise, he will definitely implicate me and others.
Once His Royal Highness takes over the Guo family, how can he let me wait for the merchants?
You need to know that money touches people's hearts! "
As soon as Xiang Feng said that, the faces of the people present changed drastically.
Wang Zhen thought about it carefully, gritted his teeth and said, "Patriarch Ji.
Guo Cheng frenziedly assassinated the prince's family members, which is a great crime to exterminate the nine clans.
The old man is willing to donate half of his family wealth to prove his innocence, and only asks for the peace of the whole family. "
Ji Ming nodded, stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay!
The old man agreed to be the head of the Wang family.
When His Highness the Crown Prince pays for his meritorious service, the old man must be included in Patriarch Wang's share. "
"Master Ji is polite.
The old man only wants to be blameless, and dare not be greedy for credit. "
Wang Zhen shook his head bitterly.
Ji Ming didn't try to persuade him any more.
He originally thought that Wang Zhen was more than successful, but not pioneering.
But now it seems that Wang Zhen is nothing more than a mediocre talent.
"Master Ji, the Xiang family is willing to advance and retreat with the Ji family.
If Patriarch Ji has any instructions, just say it bluntly.
When the old man returned, he ordered people to check the granary, and he would definitely raise [-] shi of grain and grass for His Royal Highness! "
Xiang Feng looked determined.
Ji Ming nodded abruptly.
"it is good!
Patriarch Xiang, don't worry, the old man will tell His Royal Highness the truth. "
"Thank you, Patriarch Ji."
Xiang Feng got up and bowed his hands, which seemed to be a master-slave.
Seeing this, the rest of them changed their minds sharply, and stood up one after another and said: "We are also willing to advance and retreat with the Ji family, and please ask the Ji family master to speak a few words of kindness for us.
If His Highness the Crown Prince has an order, we are also willing to give up our family and business to share His Highness' worries. "
"That's a great word!"
Ji Ming stood up and said back: "With the help of all the Patriarchs, His Highness's affairs will be safe and sound.
The old man went to see His Highness now, and decided to ask for a reward for the heads of the families! "
"Master Ji is being polite!"
"Thank you Patriarch Ji!"
A group of merchants smiled happily and bowed their hands again and again.
Now that they have made up their minds, everyone will naturally no longer worry about gains and losses.
What's more, Ji Ming Shicai's intention is clearly to use the Ji family's wealth to find the way for everyone.
If it really comes true this time, it will really be smoke on the ancestral grave.
Ji Ming returned the gift with a faint smile.
Turning to look at Wang Zhen, who was troubled and troubled, he sighed and said, "Patriarch Wang doesn't have to worry.
You have made great contributions in donating food, His Royal Highness will certainly not forget the contribution made by the Wang family. "
Wang Zhen was startled when he heard the words, and bowed in shame: "Thank you Brother Ji for taking care of me.
In the future, if Brother Ji has orders, my Wang family will definitely go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so. "
"It's just a little effort, why should Brother Wang Xian be so polite."
Jiming was more and more happy.
Although the Wang family gradually declined, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.
With the Wang family's sincere help, his right to speak among merchants in Yangzhou will inevitably be even more important.
What's more, he went to explore the way with Ji family's wealth.
Although it will take certain risks, the credit is also the first.
If Su Jing really hadn't lost his word, he would be the only contact person between Yangzhou merchants and the prince in the future, and his status would naturally increase.
Even if Su Jing made a slip of the tongue, he could still gain favor and reputation among his peers.
It doesn't take three to five years, the Ji family can make a comeback with today's love.
After all, those who were ungrateful in ancient times would be cast aside by all people.
……
The situation in Yangzhou city will meet.
On the sea outside Yangzhou City, the "two black bears" also fought fiercely.
Cheng Yaojin kicked Yu Chigong's chest heavily, and he was punched so hard that his eyes stared at him.
Just as he was about to go forward and try his best to fill the gun, he saw Yu Chigong's old face suddenly completely black.
This is, really angry!
"stop!
Yangzhou City is within easy reach, and I still need to take a shower and change clothes to receive congratulations from the people.
Give it up today, the old man will beat you again tomorrow! "
Yuchi Gong was startled when he heard this.
Looking at Cheng Yaojin's fleeting back, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shameless dog thief!"
