Taipingchun

What is the situation of Yizhimei, Xu Xiu obviously does not know, but now it is difficult for Yizhimei to know his own situation.Like two parallel lines, there is no intersection for the time being.

On this day, Xu Xiu summoned everyone to discuss, and the core of the discussion was condensed into one word, that is profit.

The issue of interests has never changed, the world is full of profit, and the world is full of prosperity.

As long as it can bring them benefits beyond Zou Wang, that's fine.Merchants are the most ruthless.But it is also the easiest to deal with, and the people with little righteousness are difficult to attack.However, Xu Xiu didn't intend to just go looking for merchants who had already been won over by Zou Wang. He had even bigger ambitions.

Zhang Cong said in embarrassment: "Where is the benefit?"

Xu Xiu pointed to herself and said, "I am their interest."

This answer didn't convince him, so Zhang Cong said directly: "Master, have you forgotten what Xu Pengju said?"

"Remember, it's meaningless to offend the Zou family for me." Xu Xiu nodded without hesitation.

"Then where do you get the benefits to guide them, my boss?" Zhang Cong's heart sank slowly.

Xu Xiu knocked on the table and signaled Xu Yang to spread out a map. Xu Xiu pointed at Songjiang Mansion and said, "Songjiang has always been a major producer of cotton, with an annual output of more than 2000 million tons. But only one tenth of it is in circulation, and more cotton cloth from other places is being sold, so why?"

Now that he had made his words clear, the old scholar didn't care anymore, and said, "Overseas."

"Yes." Xu Xiudao: "50 taels per 200 catties, [-] taels per [-] catties, this is just the price of silk floss shipped to Japan, and it is already so terrifying. Let alone more western places. Although cotton cloth is commonly used for clothing, the price is cheap There are many, but the victory lies in the quantity and necessity. The gains may be inexhaustible."

Xu Xiu patted the table and said, "It is strictly forbidden to go to sea for business without permission, but who really takes it seriously?" Looking at the old scholar, he said, "Sir, can you tell the students, is that so?"

The old scholar said: "In Fujian, Zhejiang, including the entire southeast, it is a tradition to go to sea for business."

Now there is no tribute dispute in Ningbo, and Japan is still allowed to pay tribute. Naturally, there is no shadow of Japanese pirates. Therefore, overseas trade in this period was surprisingly calm and orderly. Naturally, the city's shipping company cannot meet the needs of people all over the world for sex and goods. This smuggling is inevitable, and the amount of smuggling is so huge that it cannot be estimated.

Xu Xiudao: "So, the way to break the situation is in Songjiang cotton cloth. If Songjiang cotton cloth takes [-]% to supply Tianfu and other places, it is more than enough. What is Zou Wang talking about?"

The old scholar Zhang Cong was a little surprised by what he said, and the owner took it for granted.

The old scholar said tactfully: "Jun Xi, things are not as easy as you imagined."

Can Xu Xiu not know the problem, so he said: "Sir, just relying on the idea of ​​patting the head is impossible to be effective. Xu Xiu's method should be like this..."

Hearing his detailed explanation, Zhang Cong's hidden rebellious character was a little ready to move. He said excitedly: "That's it, that's it. Cong is willing to lobby Songjiang Haofu."

The old scholar's attitude was the opposite of his, and he said cautiously: "It is not a good choice. If it fails, it may lead to catastrophe."

Xu Xiu licked her lips and said, "It's fine if no one dies."

Since he insisted, the old scholar had no choice but to give his full support, saying: "I'll go to Songjiang, Bingyong is not familiar with the place."

"Sir and Bingyong don't need to go." Xu Xiu said, "Have you forgotten Lu Shen?"

The relationship between the two of them is indeed a good bargaining chip, the old scholar said: "Lu Shen still can't be the master of the Lu family."

"Brother Lu Shen, maybe I can plead with him for help, but the Lu family will never help me so easily, so in the final analysis, it is still about interests." Xu Xiu told another general consideration in detail For them, the primary purpose is to bring them enough benefits.

Xu Xiudao: "Don't look at Zou Wang's win over Jiang Ning, and even most of the merchants in Jinling, but he doesn't bother to recruit small households. This is our opportunity. It's time to change the dynasty."

Xu Yang stuck out his tongue after saying this, it was really treasonous.

Of course, this sentence is not talking about rebellion, but is very dissatisfied with the current situation in Jiangning. Not one of the big merchants is in his hands, which brings great pressure.

Zhang Cong added: "Time must be hurry up."

"Yes, Xu Yang, go prepare invitations and invite them to discuss matters." Xu Xiu smiled and said, "Go with great fanfare. This is a public conspiracy. Whether they know it or not has little impact on the final possibility of success."

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed and made their own preparations for their plans, while Xu Xiu returned to the room and wrote two thousand-character letters, one of which was to be sent to Lu Shen. He was the key link, and it might be nothing to convince him. It is difficult, but to convince the Lu family behind him, it all depends on his communication skills.And the other one can only be sent after the evening's discussion is over.

Everything is ready, it's night.

The small merchants in Jiangning County gathered in the restaurant opposite the county government office. The biggest merchant here turned out to be Wang Chen, who was almost unable to hold on after being beaten.

Xu Xiu invited them to take a seat, but she didn't say anything for a while, only heard them talking a lot, their faces were bright, and they seemed to be puzzled.

As the Prophet of the Spring River Water Cold Duck, the sense of smell of small merchants is often very sensitive. Regarding the current situation in Jiangning County, they are also fighting with gods. Facing how embarrassing Zou Wang's pressure was, it was extremely easy to deal with them.

Xu Xiu didn't open her mouth, no one dared to speak first, even the mild-mannered Wang Yu was forced to restrain herself a lot by the reality, and didn't open her mouth.

"I invite you to come here today, I have something important to discuss." Xu Xiuxing's eyes were very bright under the dim light, and he could see the situation of everyone below at a glance.

Looking left and then, Wang Yan felt that he would not speak on this matter, and that no one had the right to speak on their behalf, so he immediately said, "My lord, please speak. If you want us to help, you must do your best."

It was fine if Wang Chen didn't open his mouth, but once he opened his mouth, the merchants greeted him from the bottom of their hearts.

Xu Xiu said with a smile: "Today, someone Xu is giving you a fortune. I wonder if you have the guts to accept it."

Where is the wealth, many small merchants disdain it. Now you Jiangning County is full of mud bodhisattvas who can't protect themselves when they cross the river. How can you talk about giving us wealth.

A merchant couldn't hold back, obviously dissatisfied with Wang Zhen's previous promise, and said, "Please tell me clearly, we are all small businessmen living in Jiangning County, how can we share your worries."

Except for Wang Yan, Xu Xiu basically didn't know anything about them, so he didn't know much about them. He needed to filter. The first purpose of filtering was ambition, and people with ambition were easy to use.

Therefore, he said: "Wealth and honor are in danger. The county gave you wealth and honor, and naturally it didn't fall from the sky. You have to fight hard. The process is very dangerous. If you don't have the guts, please go back. But if you succeed, I will protect you for three lifetimes." Endless."

As soon as these words came out, some timid people hesitated. Xu Xiu stood still and observed secretly. After seeing them digested, she said very imposingly: "It's not that everyone in this county wants it. Xu Xiu Clearly tell Yu Er and others that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, the winner will be rich and the loser will lose his family, think clearly."

This is chasing people away, he doesn't need so many people, he just needs to have the guts to be able to be with him, but is he afraid that everyone will leave?No, it is the nature of a businessman to seek profit, not to mention Wang Yu, who has reached a dead end, and if he does not fight, he will have no chance, just listen to him immediately: "Wang Yu is willing to accept this wealth, how risky is it? No hesitation."

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a thunderstorm, and the small merchants in the surrounding area said: "I haven't seen the adults say it clearly, Mr. Wang, you just make such a decision, you are confused."

Uncharacteristically, Xu Xiu snorted coldly: "Until you make a decision, the county won't tell you, but once you make a decision, don't blame the county's tricks if you want to withdraw."

□□Naked threats, some people started to leave the venue, one, two, and finally there were only twelve companies left. These people are not afraid of risks, they are afraid, but they are more eager to succeed. Jiangning small county, how can they eat meat? ?If you work hard now, maybe you can become a big boss.

done.

Xu Xiu nodded and said: "Since the twelve masters have decided to help the county together, there are some things that must be said first."

"Sir, please speak."

"All the conversations tonight must be rotten in the stomach. If anyone leaks the news, I will make his life worse than death."

"Yes, what your lord said is very true."

Although Xu Xiu didn't care about inviting everyone to be known by others, but if he didn't keep secrets about what he was talking about and what he was planning, that would be really stupid.

Xu Xiudao: "Okay, then let the county talk about it."

The matter is very simple. Twelve companies jointly funded and established a chamber of commerce. With Xu Xiu's support in the officialdom, all the green lights were given all the way. Hope group's resistance.

Although the words are simple, the requirements are high. Everyone discussed all the way late at night before finalizing the preliminary details. Afterwards, they went home. Although it was cold at night, everyone's heart was hot. The rhythm of the career, the magistrate promised three generations, according to the 30-year life, at least the grandchildren will not need to worry, of course, the premise is success, the premise is Xu Xiu all the way up.

Xu Xiu waved his hand and took [-]% of the investment ratio of the twelve companies. The white wolf was very greedy, but no one could say anything. Xu Xiu made it very clear that he would look for resources and run for policies. He came to protect the officialdom, you, manage well, cooperate well, operate well, and enforce orders and prohibit them.

When the crowd dispersed, Wang Yu was invited into the county government office for further discussion.

But at this time Xu Xiu pulled Zhang Cong to talk again, which couldn't help Xu Xiu started, Zhang Cong came up and said: "Boss, you set up a chamber of commerce with small merchants, seek help from the Lu family in Songjiang Prefecture through Lu Shen, and take advantage of the opportunity to suppress Jiangning cloth. It seems that it is feasible, but what if the Lu family is afraid of the Zou family in the end?"

Xu Xiu had already considered this point clearly before, but the old scholar knew more. He said: "The Lu family is a big merchant and enjoys a high status among Suzhou scholars. No one in the southeast will be afraid, but Yangzhou Although the Mansion and Su Song belong to the Yingtian Mansion, they don't have much connection, and the Lu family doesn't go north, so they have nothing to be afraid of."

Xu Xiu nodded and said: "The Lu family will not be afraid. If they go by sea, they will have more sunk costs. If they are forced to, they will not go to open up the sea road by themselves. The bigger key point, Bingyong, you have not understood. It's not that they don't do it, but they can't do it, now that I've given them such a chance, the sophisticated Lu family won't give up."

Various internal factors during the period, from the perspective of Xu Xiu thinking too much, it is impossible to let the domestic market with lower cost and almost no risk not to make money, but to open up sea routes with great hardships, you can wait for the overseas businessmen themselves It's better to come to the door, and you don't have to worry about selling anyway, so the problem here is that you don't have a chance to sell it in China, so what is the problem?

Zhang Cong was not a fool at all. After hearing this, he immediately thought of Wang Zhen with his wisdom. He said: "So Wang Zhen's beating is not necessarily a problem with his personality. It is very likely that he has a connection with Songjiang. There are also workshops, which are out of the situation of northern cotton cloth."

Xu Xiu clapped her hands and said: "Yes. I was also confused before. Zou Wang may be dissatisfied with Wang Ju's character, but he is absolutely impossible to face the powerful Wang family in Jinling City and take the knife. No matter what the Jiangning Wang family does, he will not The only possible explanation for officially breaking away from Jinling's family is that it has moved their interests."

Zhang Cong said with a smile: "Then your next step, Master, is to find the Wang family of Jinling, right?"

Xu Xiu took out a close-fitting envelope and shook it: "This Wang Wei, although I haven't said a few words to him at all, this letter is an unexpected good move. You said that I am going to plan in a stable manner, why? Would you have thought of the existence of this letter? I can only say that God helped me."

"Is it only God who helps?" The old scholar smiled and shook his head. If you don't help yourself, how can God help you.

Zhang Cong said: "The possibility of success seems very high."

Xu Xiu is also polite, he understands that when one thing is successful, then all the things on the road must be done, and the fault tolerance rate is zero, to be successful, and once something goes wrong in a certain link, it is a failure.

Just like the Lu family, the relationship with Lu Shen is of course a big key point. If you can't take advantage of the greed of the Lu family and want the ambition of the domestic market, it is absolutely impossible to let them come out to stand on the street. Lu Shen, so what?

Just like these small merchants, if they don't come, they have no capital and no manpower, even with the help of the Lu family, it is impossible.

Right now, everything seems to be in good condition, and they are all taking a good step. The remaining key is Wang Chen.

Xu Xiudao: "Strike while the iron is hot. If you don't persuade Wang Zhen to let him reconcile with the Jinling royal family, you will be in vain. He is still in the county government office. I will talk to him now."

Wang Chen, who was left alone in the county government office, has already roughly understood some of Xu Xiu's thoughts. The key point lies in himself. It is more appropriate to say that the key point lies in his family.

Wang Chen clenched his fists from time to time, and he sighed after a long time. At this moment, Xu Xiu came in and bowed deeply. Wang Chen stopped him and said, "There is no need to say anything. Master Xu, I will go to Jinling tomorrow morning."

Seeing that he seemed to be much older, Xu Xiu also felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't think of what to say for a while.I could only take out another thousand-character letter from my body and hand it to him, solemnly nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

The royal family of Jinling is very important, and Xu Xiu can't help but not pay attention to it. Songjiang cloth is only the beginning of the whole link. Even if it is successfully suppressed, in the final analysis, it is the rice noodles that determine life and death.But the only one who can solve this trouble for Xu Xiu is the royal family of Jinling, who are capable of transporting food from Huguang.

Added: "Remember, keep it secret."

"Don't worry, my lord, Wang Yu is not only for my lord, but also for myself. I don't dare to expect too much from the Zou family, and from the Li family, I want to drive him out of Jiangning." Wang Yu said with red eyes.

"No, the Zou family also has this day."
