The Only Favorite Ugly Husband
Chapter 112 Cooperation to Make Money
The distance between the capital city and the south of the Yangtze River is too far, so it is inconvenient to transmit news. The last time Zheng Yi got news about Jiang Zhen was two months ago, and the news was still delayed for more than a month on the road.
Because of this, he didn't know Jiang Zhen's recent situation, even he didn't fully understand the affairs of his own family.
There are many boats parked on the pier in Hecheng County, both large and small, and there are a lot of them.
But Zheng Yi glanced at the pier, but couldn't help frowning slightly.
There are a lot of boats on the pier, but it seems to be less than before?
It probably happened that no one came over today... Although Zheng Yi was a little puzzled, he quickly let go of it. He looked at the familiar things from a distance, and smiled on his face: "Finally back... I'm still here." I feel a little homesick."
"I'm homesick too, but it's a pity I won't be able to go back until a long time ago, but..." Shen Anxin answered with a smile, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"I don't miss home. Seeing the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't miss home at all." Feng Jingyuan smiled flatteringly at Zheng Yi, and praised He Cheng County endlessly.
Shen Anxin was interrupted by him, and his face became unsightly, but soon he smiled again, and praised He Chengxian: "It is said that fireworks will go to Jiangnan in March, and spring in Jiangnan is the most beautiful, but I don't want to Jiangnan in autumn and winter is also so beautiful."
Shen Anxin and Feng Jingyuan, you can say that they are competing to express themselves in front of Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi glanced at the two people who were at odds with each other, smiled and said nothing.
When he was in the capital, he wanted to find someone to cooperate with in order to expand his business. After researching, the people under him found that Wanlong Trading Company was the most suitable one.
In addition, Shen's House is also very good, but it is not as good as Wanlong House.
Zheng Yi had heard Jiang Zhen talk about the conflict between Wanlong Trading Company and him, so he had a bad impression of Wanlong Trading Company, but the words of the Shen family alone were not enough... After much deliberation, he simply cooperated with these two companies .
The two firms did not fight each other, and he cooperated with them, taking advantage without exception, and he didn't have to worry about the Wanlong firm's ingenuity causing trouble for him.
This kind of cooperation, Zheng Yi originally intended to be limited to the capital, but when he wanted to go back to the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Jingyuan, the owner of Wanlong Commercial Firm, proposed to follow, and then Shen Anxin also followed.
After thinking about it, Zheng Yi finally agreed, and then he was on the same boat all the way, and he kept seeing these two people fighting openly and secretly... It was quite interesting.
At the beginning, Feng Jingyuan's son, Feng Chenglin, wanted to marry Shen Anxin but failed, so he designed to ruin Shen Anxin's reputation, and even targeted Jiang Zhen... Zheng Yi would help Shen Anxin when the two had conflicts, so although Shen Anxin was inferior in mental means When it came to Feng Jingyuan, he was evenly matched with Feng Jingyuan.
Feng Jingyuan also knew about this situation, but he did not become an imperial merchant, and now he only wants to follow Zheng Yi to pick up bargains, and also wants to open up the Jiangnan market. I also endured it all.
It's really nothing to him to be wronged in order to achieve his goal.
The boat under Zheng Yi's hands, which was loaded with cargo, went to dock at Zheng's private pier. Now they only had one main ship, and the pier was relatively empty, so they docked soon.
Zheng's family had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Zheng Yi got off the boat, many people greeted him, let Zheng Yi sit in a comfortable sedan chair, and carried him, Feng Jingyuan and others into Zheng's residence.
Several people took a bath and changed clothes first, and then, Zheng Yi's father, the elder of the Zheng family, hosted a banquet for Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin.
After Zheng Yi returned to his home, he relaxed a lot, showing his foolish side, but Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin were careful everywhere, just to make a good impression on Mr. Zheng.
Feng Jingyuan was very good at talking, Shen Anxin was polite and well-behaved, Mr. Zheng talked to them for a while, then turned around and scolded Zheng Yi: "Look at you, can't you sit still?"
"Father, I just slept outside for a year, and you won't let me relax?" Zheng Yi said, but he sat up straight after all, and got down to business: "Father, I think there are a little few boats at the pier today. ,How is this going?"
"Isn't it because of that Jiang Zhen you are very optimistic about?" Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
"Is this related to Jiang Zhen?" Zheng Yi was a little surprised, but he wasn't worried—seeing his father's happy expression, he knew it shouldn't be a bad thing.
"After Jiang Zhen came back from the capital, he stayed in Hexi Village and didn't go out. At first, I thought he had no ambitions, but I didn't think he would underestimate him... He was so silent, just in Hexi Village. There is a big wharf built over there." Mr. Zheng said: "His bodyguard bureau will help people deliver goods, and his wharf is very large, and it is more convenient to use than the wharf in the county town. Some small businessmen take boats from various villages After getting the goods, I went directly to his pier."
"I see." Zheng Yi said.
"Not only that, in just three months, his Jin Zhen Escort Agency has already made a name for itself in the Hexing Mansion." Elder Zheng said again.
Obviously, not only Zheng Yi admired Jiang Zhen very much, but Mr. Zheng also admired Jiang Zhen very much.
Feng Jingyuan didn't like Jiang Zhen, but seeing how much Zheng's family admired him, they couldn't help praising him, and Shen Anxin's attitude was the same as Feng Jingyuan's.
"I knew he was very capable... Tomorrow I will definitely go to his pier to see." Zheng Yi laughed.
Zheng Yi became more and more satisfied with Jiang Zhen as time went by!
Relying on playing cards, the Zheng family won the Empress Dowager's favor, and spent a year earning money that they might not have been able to earn in the past ten years!
Not only that, the method of suturing the wound left by Jiang Zhen also improved the relationship between the Zheng family and the general.
Now that he has returned to Hecheng County, naturally he should go to see Jiang Zhen immediately.
Zheng Yi kept his word, and after resting all night, he asked someone to find a boat the next day to go to the wharf of Hexi Village.
Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin probably made up their minds to follow him, they waited at the gate of his yard early in the morning, and followed.
Zheng Yi knew that Jiang Zhen and Shen Anxin had done business and knew each other, but he didn't think there was any problem with bringing Shen Anxin there, but Feng Jingyuan...
"Young Master Zheng, don't worry, after I offended Mr. Jiang, I went to give a gift to Mr. Jiang to make amends. Mr. Jiang said at the time that the previous things were written off." Feng Jingyuan said immediately.
Hearing what Feng Jingyuan said, Zheng Yi asked him to follow. Anyway, based on his understanding of Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen really hated Feng Jingyuan... In the end, it would only be Feng Jingyuan who felt uncomfortable, not Jiang Zhen.
When Zheng Yi went to the wharf of Hexi Village this time, of course he did not take a large ship for long-distance voyages, but a small cruise ship.
This cruise ship is used by the Zheng family when they go out to visit friends or go for an outing. It is really exquisite in every way, and it is very beautifully decorated. Even the boaters are young and pleasing to the eye.
After Zheng Yi boarded the cruise ship, a servant girl came to him and brought him tea, as well as a fruit plate and many dishes.
The tea is the best Maojian, with a tangy aroma and clear and bright. There are several kinds of fruits and preserved fruits in the fruit plate. Dried tofu, a small plate of boiled peanuts, a plate of duck tongue, a plate of glutinous rice balls the size of a fingernail... There is even a plate of abalone with sauce.
And behind the curtain next to it, there is a beautiful maid playing the piano and singing in a low voice.
Shen Anxin and Feng Jingyuan are both rich and particular about their lives, but they have never been so particular about it before... If nothing else, let's just talk about the dishes... If they get such good porcelain, they will definitely be reluctant to spend it in the future. Unsafe boat use - what if it accidentally breaks?
Zheng Yi drank tea and ate the small dishes on the table, feeling very comfortable, and not long after, they arrived near Hexi Village.
"Young Master, He Xi Village is ahead." The woman serving tea said.
Zheng Yi nodded, got up and came to the bow.
I heard that Jiang Zhen built a pier, but I don't know what kind of pier he built... Zheng Yi raised his eyes and looked over.
The pier in Hexi Village is very large, even bigger than Zheng's private pier. Looking from a distance, you can see a large open space and rows of neat houses on the river bank in the distance.
The house was too tidy and lacked aura, but Zheng Yi had to admit that it was very grand.
But in more than half a year, Jiang Zhen was able to create such a place...
When he got the news, Zheng Yi was somewhat disappointed when he heard that Jiang Zhen stayed with Brother Zhao Jing in the village all day, but now, he wanted to find out the person who sent the news and beat him up.
Jiang Zhen was doing something serious, why was he being said as if he stayed in the village only because of Brother Zhao Jing?
"This is Master Jiang's pier? It's really impressive!" Feng Jingyuan walked over and immediately boasted.
"Master Jiang is really capable." Shen Anxin also said.
"He's not bad." Zheng Yi laughed.
While the three of them were talking, the boat slowly docked.
The boy next to Zheng Yi was holding the deck and was about to send Zheng Yi ashore when Zheng Yi found that the person he was looking for had come.
"Mingzhu, have you seen that boat? How beautiful is it? When you grow up, Dad will ask someone to make one and give it to you, okay?" Jiang Zhen said to his daughter. After finishing speaking, he found out who came It turned out to be Zheng Yi.
"Young Master Zheng?" Jiang Zhen looked at Zheng Yi in surprise.
"Jiang Zhen." Zheng Yi nodded towards Jiang Zhen, then looked at Zhao Mingzhu, who was wearing a red padded jacket in Jiang Zhen's arms, and looked very happy and fat: "This is your daughter?"
"Yes, this is my daughter Mingzhu." Jiang Zhen smiled and showed Zheng Yi his chubby daughter.
After he ordered the two nannies, in order to make his daughter eat nutritiously, he made meat dishes for the two nannies every day. After half a year, the two nannies were fed fat, and his daughter... also fat up.
But to be honest, young children who are still breastfeeding will indeed be fatter due to less exercise.
"This child is so cute." Zheng Yi said, when he can't say that a child is beautiful, he usually praises his cuteness.
"I think so too." Jiang Zhen admitted unceremoniously, and asked again: "When did Young Master Zheng come back from the capital?"
"I just came back yesterday." Zheng Yi said.
Jiang Zhen chatted with Zheng Yi, and also greeted the two people behind Zheng Yi, and then said, "Young Master Zheng, come to my house?"
"Okay! I'll also take a look around the pier." Zheng Yi said.
Zheng Yi thinks that Jiang Zhen's wharf is well built, the only drawback is that everything is so neat that it won't give people the slightest surprise.
However, such a house is indeed more useful and saves money.
After Zheng Yi looked around, he already planned to copy some things from Jiang Zhen to his own pier. For example, the canteen, he thought it was pretty good.
"Food is what counts, there is no harm in giving your subordinates something to eat..." Jiang Zhen said, while he was talking, his face suddenly changed.
"Young Master Zheng, I'm in a hurry to leave. I'll call someone to greet you!" Jiang Zhen said, seeing Zheng Baoning standing not far away, he immediately said: "Zheng Baoning, come and say hello to Young Master Zheng! I'll go home!"
"Yes, boss." Zheng Baoning replied, and then came to Zheng Yi in fear.
It's really amazing that their boss still knows Zheng Shao!
After Jiang Zhen finished speaking, he ran away with his daughter in his arms. Seeing Jiang Zhen running away, Zheng Yi looked at Zheng Baoning in puzzlement: "What's wrong with your boss?" Could it be the urgency to pee?
"It should be that the lady is a bit inconvenient." Zheng Baoning said, it usually happens because their lady peed her pants...
Zheng Yi has been married for many years and had a child a long time ago. Although he never took care of him, he knew a little about the child's situation. Hearing what Zheng Baoning said, he immediately understood. Feng Jingyuan also smiled, but Shen Anxin was a little puzzled: "What's inconvenient? Doesn't that child look good?" I don't know if this child was born by Brother Zhao Jin... When Brother Zhao Jin was in the capital, he was not pregnant, right?
Shen Anxin didn't have much contact with Jiang Zhen at the beginning, and they only met a few times. Others would not tell him about Zhao Jinge's pregnancy for no reason, so he didn't know that Zhao Jinge was actually pregnant with a child.
Zheng Baoning smiled and did not answer, but Zheng Yi laughed: "It must be his daughter who pissed on him! Holding his daughter around for people to see, and letting the child urinate on himself, Jiang Zhen did it." Come out...I want to write this down, and when the little girl grows up, I must make fun of her."
Jiang Zhen's daughter would be ashamed if she knew that the whole wharf saw her pissing her pants when she was a child... Thinking of this, Zheng Yi imagined what the little girl would look like when she grew up.
And then...he felt a little bad.
If the daughters of Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge look like them, Jiang Zhen, that unreliable guy, will train his daughter like he trained Zhao Jinge...
If he went to make fun of Jiang Zhen's daughter, would he be beaten up by the tall and strong little girl who became angry from embarrassment?
Jiang Zhen doesn't like to talk, while Zheng Baoning is the opposite.
After five or six years of painting the girl Shuang'er in the county town, dealing with the woman Shuang'er all day long, Zheng Baoning has developed a clever mouth and knows how to make people happy.
He made Zheng Yi very happy, and also introduced the dock in more detail. By this time, they had already arrived at Zhao's new house.
Zhao Fugui couldn't stay idle. He insisted on planting the few acres of Zhao's land. Of course, because Jiang Zhen's subordinates would help out when they saw it, he didn't have much work to do.
There is also the matter of raising chickens and ducks, they continue to do it, but they will not do it themselves to feed the chickens and ducks at the moment, and usually buy snail millet from the villagers, and then hire a villager Couples go to feed.
In this way, Zhao Liushi will not be busy and can raise more chickens and ducks.
However, although they kept a lot of them, they didn't sell them. They were all eaten or given as rewards by Jiang Zhen to his subordinates.
Because they did not completely abandon farm work, although the Zhao family is well-off, it is still full of local atmosphere. There are no flowers and plants in their yard, but a lot of vegetables. There are a few trees, which are also loquat trees and persimmon trees. A peach tree bears fruit like this.
Not only that, when they arrived, Brother Zhao Jing was still drying the millet on the ground.
These days, if the millet wants to be preserved longer, it needs to be dried several times. The sun is good today, and there is nothing to do at home, so Zhao Jinge took them out to dry.
This work is not tiring, and he just takes it as a relaxation—he was studying before drying the millet, and he was really dizzy from studying.
"Sir, a guest is here." Zheng Baoning greeted Zhao Jinge respectfully.
"Brother Zhao Jin, why are you drying the millet?" Zheng Yi looked at Brother Zhao Jin in surprise.
"Young Master Zheng?" Brother Zhao Jin put down the hoe in his hand: "I have nothing to do and am in a hurry, so I took out the millet at home to dry... Young Master Zheng, please come in."
In the past few months, he has been discussing business with people everywhere. When Zhao Jinge saw Zheng Yi, he was not as stiff as he was at the beginning, but relaxed a lot.
Zheng Yi also discovered this, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.
When Brother Zhao Jin brought him into the house, Jiang Zhen had already changed his daughter's diaper and changed a piece of clothing himself.
In order to allow his daughter to stay in any room, Jiang Zhen specially asked someone to make several large wooden barrels with a diameter of more than one meter. There is one in the living room. After putting his daughter in it, Jiang Zhen greeted Zheng Yilai .
Zheng Yi came to Jiang Zhen this time without any purpose, so he chatted with Jiang Zhen, and beside them, Zhao Mingzhu was ignored, so he yelled dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Brother Zhao Jin came soon and took away his daughter.
"So, you won't run around with the boat anymore?" Zheng Yi asked when he heard that Jiang Zhen planned to take a rest.
"Yes." Jiang Zhen nodded: "Running around is quite tiring, I plan to rest at home for a while." Jiang Zhen said.
"If this is the case, do you want to play with the gambling house you proposed?" Zheng Yi looked at Jiang Zhen: "At that time, I promised to let you be the manager of the gambling house, and the profits of the gambling house in Hecheng County will be divided into [-]% for you." , You definitely don’t like this kind of thing now... How about you help me build a few more gambling houses in Hexing Mansion, and give you half of the profits of these gambling houses?"
"Young Master Zheng is serious?" Jiang Zhen looked at Zheng Yi.
"Really." Zheng Yi said.
"Young Master Zheng, I will definitely take care of this for you." Jiang Zhen said without thinking, "But I mainly come up with ideas, and I want you to provide the manpower. Of course, I am willing to contribute half of the capital."
"Okay, let's do that." Zheng Yi said.
The two quickly made an agreement, and after finishing talking, Jiang Zhen remembered one more thing: "By the way, when it comes to manpower, I have some people who can use it. I will go to the county seat tomorrow. I will take Zheng Go and see less."
Jiang Zhen was talking about Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, the women he saved from the water bandits.
Among these people, there are a few big-hearted people who don't want to embroider and make clothes all day long to make money. He thought, if he wants to open a gambling shop, he can actually let them work in the gambling shop.
He dare not say anything else, Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi should be willing to work in the casino.
No, it must not be called a gambling house, it should be called a more elegant name.
Zheng Yi had lunch at Jiang Zhen's side before leaving, and while they were here, Brother Zhao Jin had been observing Shen Anxin.
After finding out that Shen Anxin didn't pay attention to Jiang Zhen at all, he was in a great mood.
"Jiang Zhen, do you really want to open a gambling house with Zheng Yi?" Zhao Jinge asked after they left.
"Yes." Jiang Zhen said: "The Escort is my business, and I will focus on this, but it takes a lot of time and money to make the Escort bigger. Under such circumstances, it is very easy to make some other investments to make some money." Is necessary."
"What?" Brother Zhao Jin didn't understand.
"It means that I want to open a gambling shop and get a ticket from it." Jiang Zhen said: "It doesn't take much thought to do this. When I am doing business, you and Mingzhu can still follow, which is very good."
Jiang Zhen decided to bring his wife and daughter with him when he was helping Zheng Yi with errands, and on the other hand, Zheng Yi also had such a guess: "Jiang Zhen will definitely bring Brother Zhao Jin with him when the time comes, no, I'm afraid It's not just Brother Zhao Jin, this time, he might even bring his daughter with him."
"No way, Young Master Zheng? That child is less than one year old." Feng Jingyuan didn't believe it.
"Look at his appearance today... I bet he will bring his daughter with him." Zheng Yi said: "He is definitely the man I have ever met who misses the man at home the most."
Men like them don't know how to hold a child at all, but Jiang Zhen... he just hugs the child, and he even holds it around to flaunt it.
"Young Master Zheng, that's not necessarily the case." Shen Anxin said.He used to think that Jiang Zhen was very kind to Brother Zhao Jin, and even treated Jiang Zhen because of it... In the end, besides Brother Zhao Jin, Jiang Zhen also raised a lot of women.
Although a year has passed, Shen Anxin still feels uncomfortable when he thinks about that incident.
Zheng Yi didn't care about Shen Anxin's doubts. People who don't know Jiang Zhen really have a hard time believing Jiang Zhen's sincerity towards Brother Zhao Jing.
But he believed it.
Jiang Zhen treated Zhao Jinge like this, which made him more willing to cooperate with Jiang Zhen. When he cooperated with Jiang Zhen, he would not always be on guard like when he cooperated with Wanlong Commercial Bank and Shenjia Commercial Bank.
Jiang Zhen took Brother Zhao Jing early the next morning, packed Zhao Mingzhu, and went to the county seat.
There is a reason why he uses the word "package"... Now that it's cold, Zhao Liushi is afraid that his granddaughter will be frozen when she travels far away, so she finds out Jiang Zhen's cloak and binds Zhao Mingzhu up...
When Jiang Zhen got on the boat, he wanted to let go of his tied up daughter, but... Zhao Mingzhu fell asleep...
"Brother Jin, after we go to the county seat, let's go to the house I bought to put down our things, let Mingzhu sleep there, and then go to find Shao Zheng." Jiang Zhen said to Brother Zhao Jin, who took his Zhao Mingzhu, but she didn't plan to take the child with her all the time. After all, it was inconvenient to take the child with her when she was doing business.
Therefore, he brought Li Shi and Ruo'er with him, and planned to let Zhao Mingzhu stay in his house in the county town most of the time... In this way, when he went to do business, he could leave his daughter behind. There, after finishing the work, I can go back to accompany my daughter and have a meal with the family.
In fact, Jiang Zhen originally wanted to bring along even Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi, but they thought it was too much trouble and they didn't want to come.
Thinking that he would go back at night anyway, Jiang Zhen didn't force it.
Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jing went out very early. When they arrived at the county seat, it was just dawn. He settled Li Shi and Ruoer first, and left two of his subordinates to help run errands to protect them. Then he went to Zheng's house to find Zheng Yi.
"Jiang Zhen, it's really early for you to come." Zheng Yi was a little emotional, and said again: "Speaking of which, I thought you would bring your daughter, but I didn't expect that you didn't bring your daughter."
"I brought it, but she fell asleep, so I left her at my residence in the county." Jiang Zhen said.
Zheng Yi couldn't help laughing.
Both Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen planned to open the gambling house in Hecheng County first. Of course, they have now given this gambling house a good name, Qingfenglou.
This Qingfeng Building is for rich people, and they only want those rich people to spend their time here, but they don't intend to let them lose everything here, so although there are gambling in this Qingfeng Hall, it is stipulated that they cannot Betting too much can only be a small gamble for fun.
Of course, the small gambling pleasure of the rich is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
At the same time, there will also be tea, meals, and other services... Of course, pornography is not included.
Jiang Zhen intends to turn it into a high-end club, but it can't be made vulgar.
Regarding rules and regulations, Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi discussed for a long time but still could not come to a conclusion. After a while, they still couldn't reach a conclusion, so they planned to decide on the place first.
And when they went out, they ran into Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin who were waiting outside without exception.
Anyway, it was just to see the place, Zheng Yi didn't refuse their follow, and as for Jiang Zhen, he didn't care much.
Whether it is Feng Jingyuan or Shen Anxin, in his opinion, they are just people who have met a few times but are not very close.
Zheng Yi gave up a courtyard of the Zheng family in Hecheng County. Jiang Zhen was very satisfied after seeing it. Then, Jiang Zhen proposed to go and see the women Shuang'er who he had rescued from the water bandits.
Those who are willing among them can work in Qingfeng Building in the future.
Those women and Shuang'er were arranged to live in a house not far from Hecheng County, and this was also the place where Jiang Zhen used to give those accountants an exam-it's quite big, and some places were originally Jiang Zhen's. It was specially drawn out as a warehouse.
Those women and Shuang'er all lived in the backyard. Jiang Zhen led Zheng Yi and others to walk in. After approaching, he asked Zhao Jinge to go in and say hello before walking in.
"Master Jiang, you've come!" Jiang Zhen had just entered, when he heard Liu Qianqian's coquettish voice, that voice was very coquettish.
"Don't talk like that." Jiang Zhen frowned.
"Master Jiang, am I used to it?" Liu Qianqian said, and then asked: "Master Jiang, what is the purpose of your visit to us this time? Don't ask me to embroider the dart flag again."
"I have a very easy job that pays a lot. I want to ask if you want to do it." Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Zhen is quite calm at the moment, but in Shen Anxin's heart, it is as if the river is overwhelmed.
Aren't these people the concubines of Jiang Zhen whom he had met before?
They... are actually not Jiang Zhen's concubines, but the people Jiang Zhen saved from the water bandits?
Because of this, he didn't know Jiang Zhen's recent situation, even he didn't fully understand the affairs of his own family.
There are many boats parked on the pier in Hecheng County, both large and small, and there are a lot of them.
But Zheng Yi glanced at the pier, but couldn't help frowning slightly.
There are a lot of boats on the pier, but it seems to be less than before?
It probably happened that no one came over today... Although Zheng Yi was a little puzzled, he quickly let go of it. He looked at the familiar things from a distance, and smiled on his face: "Finally back... I'm still here." I feel a little homesick."
"I'm homesick too, but it's a pity I won't be able to go back until a long time ago, but..." Shen Anxin answered with a smile, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"I don't miss home. Seeing the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't miss home at all." Feng Jingyuan smiled flatteringly at Zheng Yi, and praised He Cheng County endlessly.
Shen Anxin was interrupted by him, and his face became unsightly, but soon he smiled again, and praised He Chengxian: "It is said that fireworks will go to Jiangnan in March, and spring in Jiangnan is the most beautiful, but I don't want to Jiangnan in autumn and winter is also so beautiful."
Shen Anxin and Feng Jingyuan, you can say that they are competing to express themselves in front of Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi glanced at the two people who were at odds with each other, smiled and said nothing.
When he was in the capital, he wanted to find someone to cooperate with in order to expand his business. After researching, the people under him found that Wanlong Trading Company was the most suitable one.
In addition, Shen's House is also very good, but it is not as good as Wanlong House.
Zheng Yi had heard Jiang Zhen talk about the conflict between Wanlong Trading Company and him, so he had a bad impression of Wanlong Trading Company, but the words of the Shen family alone were not enough... After much deliberation, he simply cooperated with these two companies .
The two firms did not fight each other, and he cooperated with them, taking advantage without exception, and he didn't have to worry about the Wanlong firm's ingenuity causing trouble for him.
This kind of cooperation, Zheng Yi originally intended to be limited to the capital, but when he wanted to go back to the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Jingyuan, the owner of Wanlong Commercial Firm, proposed to follow, and then Shen Anxin also followed.
After thinking about it, Zheng Yi finally agreed, and then he was on the same boat all the way, and he kept seeing these two people fighting openly and secretly... It was quite interesting.
At the beginning, Feng Jingyuan's son, Feng Chenglin, wanted to marry Shen Anxin but failed, so he designed to ruin Shen Anxin's reputation, and even targeted Jiang Zhen... Zheng Yi would help Shen Anxin when the two had conflicts, so although Shen Anxin was inferior in mental means When it came to Feng Jingyuan, he was evenly matched with Feng Jingyuan.
Feng Jingyuan also knew about this situation, but he did not become an imperial merchant, and now he only wants to follow Zheng Yi to pick up bargains, and also wants to open up the Jiangnan market. I also endured it all.
It's really nothing to him to be wronged in order to achieve his goal.
The boat under Zheng Yi's hands, which was loaded with cargo, went to dock at Zheng's private pier. Now they only had one main ship, and the pier was relatively empty, so they docked soon.
Zheng's family had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Zheng Yi got off the boat, many people greeted him, let Zheng Yi sit in a comfortable sedan chair, and carried him, Feng Jingyuan and others into Zheng's residence.
Several people took a bath and changed clothes first, and then, Zheng Yi's father, the elder of the Zheng family, hosted a banquet for Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin.
After Zheng Yi returned to his home, he relaxed a lot, showing his foolish side, but Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin were careful everywhere, just to make a good impression on Mr. Zheng.
Feng Jingyuan was very good at talking, Shen Anxin was polite and well-behaved, Mr. Zheng talked to them for a while, then turned around and scolded Zheng Yi: "Look at you, can't you sit still?"
"Father, I just slept outside for a year, and you won't let me relax?" Zheng Yi said, but he sat up straight after all, and got down to business: "Father, I think there are a little few boats at the pier today. ,How is this going?"
"Isn't it because of that Jiang Zhen you are very optimistic about?" Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
"Is this related to Jiang Zhen?" Zheng Yi was a little surprised, but he wasn't worried—seeing his father's happy expression, he knew it shouldn't be a bad thing.
"After Jiang Zhen came back from the capital, he stayed in Hexi Village and didn't go out. At first, I thought he had no ambitions, but I didn't think he would underestimate him... He was so silent, just in Hexi Village. There is a big wharf built over there." Mr. Zheng said: "His bodyguard bureau will help people deliver goods, and his wharf is very large, and it is more convenient to use than the wharf in the county town. Some small businessmen take boats from various villages After getting the goods, I went directly to his pier."
"I see." Zheng Yi said.
"Not only that, in just three months, his Jin Zhen Escort Agency has already made a name for itself in the Hexing Mansion." Elder Zheng said again.
Obviously, not only Zheng Yi admired Jiang Zhen very much, but Mr. Zheng also admired Jiang Zhen very much.
Feng Jingyuan didn't like Jiang Zhen, but seeing how much Zheng's family admired him, they couldn't help praising him, and Shen Anxin's attitude was the same as Feng Jingyuan's.
"I knew he was very capable... Tomorrow I will definitely go to his pier to see." Zheng Yi laughed.
Zheng Yi became more and more satisfied with Jiang Zhen as time went by!
Relying on playing cards, the Zheng family won the Empress Dowager's favor, and spent a year earning money that they might not have been able to earn in the past ten years!
Not only that, the method of suturing the wound left by Jiang Zhen also improved the relationship between the Zheng family and the general.
Now that he has returned to Hecheng County, naturally he should go to see Jiang Zhen immediately.
Zheng Yi kept his word, and after resting all night, he asked someone to find a boat the next day to go to the wharf of Hexi Village.
Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin probably made up their minds to follow him, they waited at the gate of his yard early in the morning, and followed.
Zheng Yi knew that Jiang Zhen and Shen Anxin had done business and knew each other, but he didn't think there was any problem with bringing Shen Anxin there, but Feng Jingyuan...
"Young Master Zheng, don't worry, after I offended Mr. Jiang, I went to give a gift to Mr. Jiang to make amends. Mr. Jiang said at the time that the previous things were written off." Feng Jingyuan said immediately.
Hearing what Feng Jingyuan said, Zheng Yi asked him to follow. Anyway, based on his understanding of Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen really hated Feng Jingyuan... In the end, it would only be Feng Jingyuan who felt uncomfortable, not Jiang Zhen.
When Zheng Yi went to the wharf of Hexi Village this time, of course he did not take a large ship for long-distance voyages, but a small cruise ship.
This cruise ship is used by the Zheng family when they go out to visit friends or go for an outing. It is really exquisite in every way, and it is very beautifully decorated. Even the boaters are young and pleasing to the eye.
After Zheng Yi boarded the cruise ship, a servant girl came to him and brought him tea, as well as a fruit plate and many dishes.
The tea is the best Maojian, with a tangy aroma and clear and bright. There are several kinds of fruits and preserved fruits in the fruit plate. Dried tofu, a small plate of boiled peanuts, a plate of duck tongue, a plate of glutinous rice balls the size of a fingernail... There is even a plate of abalone with sauce.
And behind the curtain next to it, there is a beautiful maid playing the piano and singing in a low voice.
Shen Anxin and Feng Jingyuan are both rich and particular about their lives, but they have never been so particular about it before... If nothing else, let's just talk about the dishes... If they get such good porcelain, they will definitely be reluctant to spend it in the future. Unsafe boat use - what if it accidentally breaks?
Zheng Yi drank tea and ate the small dishes on the table, feeling very comfortable, and not long after, they arrived near Hexi Village.
"Young Master, He Xi Village is ahead." The woman serving tea said.
Zheng Yi nodded, got up and came to the bow.
I heard that Jiang Zhen built a pier, but I don't know what kind of pier he built... Zheng Yi raised his eyes and looked over.
The pier in Hexi Village is very large, even bigger than Zheng's private pier. Looking from a distance, you can see a large open space and rows of neat houses on the river bank in the distance.
The house was too tidy and lacked aura, but Zheng Yi had to admit that it was very grand.
But in more than half a year, Jiang Zhen was able to create such a place...
When he got the news, Zheng Yi was somewhat disappointed when he heard that Jiang Zhen stayed with Brother Zhao Jing in the village all day, but now, he wanted to find out the person who sent the news and beat him up.
Jiang Zhen was doing something serious, why was he being said as if he stayed in the village only because of Brother Zhao Jing?
"This is Master Jiang's pier? It's really impressive!" Feng Jingyuan walked over and immediately boasted.
"Master Jiang is really capable." Shen Anxin also said.
"He's not bad." Zheng Yi laughed.
While the three of them were talking, the boat slowly docked.
The boy next to Zheng Yi was holding the deck and was about to send Zheng Yi ashore when Zheng Yi found that the person he was looking for had come.
"Mingzhu, have you seen that boat? How beautiful is it? When you grow up, Dad will ask someone to make one and give it to you, okay?" Jiang Zhen said to his daughter. After finishing speaking, he found out who came It turned out to be Zheng Yi.
"Young Master Zheng?" Jiang Zhen looked at Zheng Yi in surprise.
"Jiang Zhen." Zheng Yi nodded towards Jiang Zhen, then looked at Zhao Mingzhu, who was wearing a red padded jacket in Jiang Zhen's arms, and looked very happy and fat: "This is your daughter?"
"Yes, this is my daughter Mingzhu." Jiang Zhen smiled and showed Zheng Yi his chubby daughter.
After he ordered the two nannies, in order to make his daughter eat nutritiously, he made meat dishes for the two nannies every day. After half a year, the two nannies were fed fat, and his daughter... also fat up.
But to be honest, young children who are still breastfeeding will indeed be fatter due to less exercise.
"This child is so cute." Zheng Yi said, when he can't say that a child is beautiful, he usually praises his cuteness.
"I think so too." Jiang Zhen admitted unceremoniously, and asked again: "When did Young Master Zheng come back from the capital?"
"I just came back yesterday." Zheng Yi said.
Jiang Zhen chatted with Zheng Yi, and also greeted the two people behind Zheng Yi, and then said, "Young Master Zheng, come to my house?"
"Okay! I'll also take a look around the pier." Zheng Yi said.
Zheng Yi thinks that Jiang Zhen's wharf is well built, the only drawback is that everything is so neat that it won't give people the slightest surprise.
However, such a house is indeed more useful and saves money.
After Zheng Yi looked around, he already planned to copy some things from Jiang Zhen to his own pier. For example, the canteen, he thought it was pretty good.
"Food is what counts, there is no harm in giving your subordinates something to eat..." Jiang Zhen said, while he was talking, his face suddenly changed.
"Young Master Zheng, I'm in a hurry to leave. I'll call someone to greet you!" Jiang Zhen said, seeing Zheng Baoning standing not far away, he immediately said: "Zheng Baoning, come and say hello to Young Master Zheng! I'll go home!"
"Yes, boss." Zheng Baoning replied, and then came to Zheng Yi in fear.
It's really amazing that their boss still knows Zheng Shao!
After Jiang Zhen finished speaking, he ran away with his daughter in his arms. Seeing Jiang Zhen running away, Zheng Yi looked at Zheng Baoning in puzzlement: "What's wrong with your boss?" Could it be the urgency to pee?
"It should be that the lady is a bit inconvenient." Zheng Baoning said, it usually happens because their lady peed her pants...
Zheng Yi has been married for many years and had a child a long time ago. Although he never took care of him, he knew a little about the child's situation. Hearing what Zheng Baoning said, he immediately understood. Feng Jingyuan also smiled, but Shen Anxin was a little puzzled: "What's inconvenient? Doesn't that child look good?" I don't know if this child was born by Brother Zhao Jin... When Brother Zhao Jin was in the capital, he was not pregnant, right?
Shen Anxin didn't have much contact with Jiang Zhen at the beginning, and they only met a few times. Others would not tell him about Zhao Jinge's pregnancy for no reason, so he didn't know that Zhao Jinge was actually pregnant with a child.
Zheng Baoning smiled and did not answer, but Zheng Yi laughed: "It must be his daughter who pissed on him! Holding his daughter around for people to see, and letting the child urinate on himself, Jiang Zhen did it." Come out...I want to write this down, and when the little girl grows up, I must make fun of her."
Jiang Zhen's daughter would be ashamed if she knew that the whole wharf saw her pissing her pants when she was a child... Thinking of this, Zheng Yi imagined what the little girl would look like when she grew up.
And then...he felt a little bad.
If the daughters of Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge look like them, Jiang Zhen, that unreliable guy, will train his daughter like he trained Zhao Jinge...
If he went to make fun of Jiang Zhen's daughter, would he be beaten up by the tall and strong little girl who became angry from embarrassment?
Jiang Zhen doesn't like to talk, while Zheng Baoning is the opposite.
After five or six years of painting the girl Shuang'er in the county town, dealing with the woman Shuang'er all day long, Zheng Baoning has developed a clever mouth and knows how to make people happy.
He made Zheng Yi very happy, and also introduced the dock in more detail. By this time, they had already arrived at Zhao's new house.
Zhao Fugui couldn't stay idle. He insisted on planting the few acres of Zhao's land. Of course, because Jiang Zhen's subordinates would help out when they saw it, he didn't have much work to do.
There is also the matter of raising chickens and ducks, they continue to do it, but they will not do it themselves to feed the chickens and ducks at the moment, and usually buy snail millet from the villagers, and then hire a villager Couples go to feed.
In this way, Zhao Liushi will not be busy and can raise more chickens and ducks.
However, although they kept a lot of them, they didn't sell them. They were all eaten or given as rewards by Jiang Zhen to his subordinates.
Because they did not completely abandon farm work, although the Zhao family is well-off, it is still full of local atmosphere. There are no flowers and plants in their yard, but a lot of vegetables. There are a few trees, which are also loquat trees and persimmon trees. A peach tree bears fruit like this.
Not only that, when they arrived, Brother Zhao Jing was still drying the millet on the ground.
These days, if the millet wants to be preserved longer, it needs to be dried several times. The sun is good today, and there is nothing to do at home, so Zhao Jinge took them out to dry.
This work is not tiring, and he just takes it as a relaxation—he was studying before drying the millet, and he was really dizzy from studying.
"Sir, a guest is here." Zheng Baoning greeted Zhao Jinge respectfully.
"Brother Zhao Jin, why are you drying the millet?" Zheng Yi looked at Brother Zhao Jin in surprise.
"Young Master Zheng?" Brother Zhao Jin put down the hoe in his hand: "I have nothing to do and am in a hurry, so I took out the millet at home to dry... Young Master Zheng, please come in."
In the past few months, he has been discussing business with people everywhere. When Zhao Jinge saw Zheng Yi, he was not as stiff as he was at the beginning, but relaxed a lot.
Zheng Yi also discovered this, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.
When Brother Zhao Jin brought him into the house, Jiang Zhen had already changed his daughter's diaper and changed a piece of clothing himself.
In order to allow his daughter to stay in any room, Jiang Zhen specially asked someone to make several large wooden barrels with a diameter of more than one meter. There is one in the living room. After putting his daughter in it, Jiang Zhen greeted Zheng Yilai .
Zheng Yi came to Jiang Zhen this time without any purpose, so he chatted with Jiang Zhen, and beside them, Zhao Mingzhu was ignored, so he yelled dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Brother Zhao Jin came soon and took away his daughter.
"So, you won't run around with the boat anymore?" Zheng Yi asked when he heard that Jiang Zhen planned to take a rest.
"Yes." Jiang Zhen nodded: "Running around is quite tiring, I plan to rest at home for a while." Jiang Zhen said.
"If this is the case, do you want to play with the gambling house you proposed?" Zheng Yi looked at Jiang Zhen: "At that time, I promised to let you be the manager of the gambling house, and the profits of the gambling house in Hecheng County will be divided into [-]% for you." , You definitely don’t like this kind of thing now... How about you help me build a few more gambling houses in Hexing Mansion, and give you half of the profits of these gambling houses?"
"Young Master Zheng is serious?" Jiang Zhen looked at Zheng Yi.
"Really." Zheng Yi said.
"Young Master Zheng, I will definitely take care of this for you." Jiang Zhen said without thinking, "But I mainly come up with ideas, and I want you to provide the manpower. Of course, I am willing to contribute half of the capital."
"Okay, let's do that." Zheng Yi said.
The two quickly made an agreement, and after finishing talking, Jiang Zhen remembered one more thing: "By the way, when it comes to manpower, I have some people who can use it. I will go to the county seat tomorrow. I will take Zheng Go and see less."
Jiang Zhen was talking about Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, the women he saved from the water bandits.
Among these people, there are a few big-hearted people who don't want to embroider and make clothes all day long to make money. He thought, if he wants to open a gambling shop, he can actually let them work in the gambling shop.
He dare not say anything else, Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi should be willing to work in the casino.
No, it must not be called a gambling house, it should be called a more elegant name.
Zheng Yi had lunch at Jiang Zhen's side before leaving, and while they were here, Brother Zhao Jin had been observing Shen Anxin.
After finding out that Shen Anxin didn't pay attention to Jiang Zhen at all, he was in a great mood.
"Jiang Zhen, do you really want to open a gambling house with Zheng Yi?" Zhao Jinge asked after they left.
"Yes." Jiang Zhen said: "The Escort is my business, and I will focus on this, but it takes a lot of time and money to make the Escort bigger. Under such circumstances, it is very easy to make some other investments to make some money." Is necessary."
"What?" Brother Zhao Jin didn't understand.
"It means that I want to open a gambling shop and get a ticket from it." Jiang Zhen said: "It doesn't take much thought to do this. When I am doing business, you and Mingzhu can still follow, which is very good."
Jiang Zhen decided to bring his wife and daughter with him when he was helping Zheng Yi with errands, and on the other hand, Zheng Yi also had such a guess: "Jiang Zhen will definitely bring Brother Zhao Jin with him when the time comes, no, I'm afraid It's not just Brother Zhao Jin, this time, he might even bring his daughter with him."
"No way, Young Master Zheng? That child is less than one year old." Feng Jingyuan didn't believe it.
"Look at his appearance today... I bet he will bring his daughter with him." Zheng Yi said: "He is definitely the man I have ever met who misses the man at home the most."
Men like them don't know how to hold a child at all, but Jiang Zhen... he just hugs the child, and he even holds it around to flaunt it.
"Young Master Zheng, that's not necessarily the case." Shen Anxin said.He used to think that Jiang Zhen was very kind to Brother Zhao Jin, and even treated Jiang Zhen because of it... In the end, besides Brother Zhao Jin, Jiang Zhen also raised a lot of women.
Although a year has passed, Shen Anxin still feels uncomfortable when he thinks about that incident.
Zheng Yi didn't care about Shen Anxin's doubts. People who don't know Jiang Zhen really have a hard time believing Jiang Zhen's sincerity towards Brother Zhao Jing.
But he believed it.
Jiang Zhen treated Zhao Jinge like this, which made him more willing to cooperate with Jiang Zhen. When he cooperated with Jiang Zhen, he would not always be on guard like when he cooperated with Wanlong Commercial Bank and Shenjia Commercial Bank.
Jiang Zhen took Brother Zhao Jing early the next morning, packed Zhao Mingzhu, and went to the county seat.
There is a reason why he uses the word "package"... Now that it's cold, Zhao Liushi is afraid that his granddaughter will be frozen when she travels far away, so she finds out Jiang Zhen's cloak and binds Zhao Mingzhu up...
When Jiang Zhen got on the boat, he wanted to let go of his tied up daughter, but... Zhao Mingzhu fell asleep...
"Brother Jin, after we go to the county seat, let's go to the house I bought to put down our things, let Mingzhu sleep there, and then go to find Shao Zheng." Jiang Zhen said to Brother Zhao Jin, who took his Zhao Mingzhu, but she didn't plan to take the child with her all the time. After all, it was inconvenient to take the child with her when she was doing business.
Therefore, he brought Li Shi and Ruo'er with him, and planned to let Zhao Mingzhu stay in his house in the county town most of the time... In this way, when he went to do business, he could leave his daughter behind. There, after finishing the work, I can go back to accompany my daughter and have a meal with the family.
In fact, Jiang Zhen originally wanted to bring along even Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi, but they thought it was too much trouble and they didn't want to come.
Thinking that he would go back at night anyway, Jiang Zhen didn't force it.
Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jing went out very early. When they arrived at the county seat, it was just dawn. He settled Li Shi and Ruoer first, and left two of his subordinates to help run errands to protect them. Then he went to Zheng's house to find Zheng Yi.
"Jiang Zhen, it's really early for you to come." Zheng Yi was a little emotional, and said again: "Speaking of which, I thought you would bring your daughter, but I didn't expect that you didn't bring your daughter."
"I brought it, but she fell asleep, so I left her at my residence in the county." Jiang Zhen said.
Zheng Yi couldn't help laughing.
Both Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen planned to open the gambling house in Hecheng County first. Of course, they have now given this gambling house a good name, Qingfenglou.
This Qingfeng Building is for rich people, and they only want those rich people to spend their time here, but they don't intend to let them lose everything here, so although there are gambling in this Qingfeng Hall, it is stipulated that they cannot Betting too much can only be a small gamble for fun.
Of course, the small gambling pleasure of the rich is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
At the same time, there will also be tea, meals, and other services... Of course, pornography is not included.
Jiang Zhen intends to turn it into a high-end club, but it can't be made vulgar.
Regarding rules and regulations, Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi discussed for a long time but still could not come to a conclusion. After a while, they still couldn't reach a conclusion, so they planned to decide on the place first.
And when they went out, they ran into Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin who were waiting outside without exception.
Anyway, it was just to see the place, Zheng Yi didn't refuse their follow, and as for Jiang Zhen, he didn't care much.
Whether it is Feng Jingyuan or Shen Anxin, in his opinion, they are just people who have met a few times but are not very close.
Zheng Yi gave up a courtyard of the Zheng family in Hecheng County. Jiang Zhen was very satisfied after seeing it. Then, Jiang Zhen proposed to go and see the women Shuang'er who he had rescued from the water bandits.
Those who are willing among them can work in Qingfeng Building in the future.
Those women and Shuang'er were arranged to live in a house not far from Hecheng County, and this was also the place where Jiang Zhen used to give those accountants an exam-it's quite big, and some places were originally Jiang Zhen's. It was specially drawn out as a warehouse.
Those women and Shuang'er all lived in the backyard. Jiang Zhen led Zheng Yi and others to walk in. After approaching, he asked Zhao Jinge to go in and say hello before walking in.
"Master Jiang, you've come!" Jiang Zhen had just entered, when he heard Liu Qianqian's coquettish voice, that voice was very coquettish.
"Don't talk like that." Jiang Zhen frowned.
"Master Jiang, am I used to it?" Liu Qianqian said, and then asked: "Master Jiang, what is the purpose of your visit to us this time? Don't ask me to embroider the dart flag again."
"I have a very easy job that pays a lot. I want to ask if you want to do it." Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Zhen is quite calm at the moment, but in Shen Anxin's heart, it is as if the river is overwhelmed.
Aren't these people the concubines of Jiang Zhen whom he had met before?
They... are actually not Jiang Zhen's concubines, but the people Jiang Zhen saved from the water bandits?
