Chapter 773 Old Dog, You Said But

Day two.

The autumn wind is blowing and it is very cool.

Dayan cloth shop opened.

This is Zhou's cloth shop, and the shopkeeper, Zhou Hua, is also a descendant of the Zhou family, but the blood relationship with the current Patriarch Zhou Zun's family is a little far away.

From far to far, Zhou Hua's family has never left their home, so they can be regarded as a family.

He walked out of the cloth shop and stretched himself.

Two businessmen stood outside.

"Brother Wang, Brother Chang!" Zhou Hua smiled and cupped his hands, "It's so early, but has that batch arrived?"

These two merchants are the suppliers of Dayan Cloth Village.

The two handed each other, and Brother Wang said: "It's good to teach Brother Zhou to know that from today onwards, my two families will be cut off from Dayan Cloth Village, and we will not have any contact with each other from now on. We have been friends for many years, and it is a waste of time. I am ashamed!"

"what?"

Zhou Hua was startled, "Why, Brother Wang, there must be an explanation, right?"

Brother Wang pointed in Zhou's direction, "Go back and ask!"

Zhou Hualing looked at the store, and then ran to Zhou's house in a hurry.

As soon as he arrived at Zhou's house, he found that many shopkeepers were there.

When asked, the situation is more or less the same.

An acquainted shopkeeper said: "It was the Yang family who made the move, bringing those powerful families, and it is said that there are also dignitaries and powerful people. Our Zhou family is in a precarious situation!"

……

"Your Majesty, the head of the country has made a move."

Han Shitou sent a message, "The entire Chang'an is suppressing Zhou's business, and then it will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, saying that they will kill them all and let Zhou's be a farmer."

The emperor said indifferently: "The Zhou family still cares about that traitor, so it can be seen that there is something wrong with it. It's just right when it's gone!"

The imperial concubine said: "Shouldn't it be to seize Zhou's land?"

The field is the foundation of the Zhou family!

The emperor smiled and said, "Those so-called farming and reading actually rely more on shops.

Farming can make money, how much can you possibly earn?Although the accumulation of a small amount becomes a lot, how can it be a business?
To cut off Zhou's business is to cut off foreign wealth.

As for the Zhou family's fields, it's even simpler. The head of the state has gathered many powerful families. Once they join forces, they will be able to suppress Zhou's food delivery...

At that time, the Zhou family had no land, but it was worthless.

At that time, with a slight push, Mrs. Zhou fell down. "

"So that's how it is." The noble concubine came from an ordinary background and didn't understand the means and direction of these upper-level games, "But why did the Zhou family hold on?"

The emperor is in a good mood today, "That old fox Zhou Qin is smart. If the Zhou clan bows its head this time, I will join forces with those family members and press hard. The family members have been around for many years, and it is time to eliminate one of them!"

The imperial concubine was shocked, "That's why Zhou Qin chose to hold on!"

The emperor nodded, "I just want to see how long he can last!"

……

News from various places came back, and Zhou Zhu and others gathered at Zhou Qin's place as if they were mourning.

"Something's wrong!"

"Everywhere in our family's business has been blocked, out of stock, or reduced prices to suppress, and some people have been blackmailed."

"Brother, what should we do?"

"Behind Yang Songcheng is the emperor, and there are countless aristocratic families and dignitaries. How can our family resist?"

A group of people talked for a while, and gradually quieted down.

Zhou Qin, who was reading a book, raised his head, "Are you finished?"

Zhou Zhu stomped his feet, "Brother, when life and death are at stake, you should say something!"

"The old man wanted to talk, but you kept chattering, so the old man didn't say anything."

"How to deal with it now?" Zhou Ting's eyes were red.

"Of course, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover."

Zhou Qin clapped his hands.

A steward comes in.

The steward did not associate with the people of the Zhou family, and was alone. He only reported to Zhou Qin, and even Zhou Zun had no way of knowing what they were doing.

"Aron."

The steward's name is Zhou Po, who was originally a down-and-out kid in the clan, and later followed Zhou Qin.He has been on the go all these years, and no one knows what he is doing.

"The emperor and Yang Songcheng have made a move!"

Zhou Qin smiled, "The old man said back then that if anyone wants to touch Zhou's business, he must first touch Zhou's business. This day has finally come, Goro!"

"Yes!" Zhou Po looked at Zhou Qin with more admiration in his eyes.

Years ago, when he was down and out, it was this old man who cultivated him and put him in good use.Now, the time to repay the favor has come!

"Zhou Shi has been dormant for many years, and it's time to raise his head." Zhou Qin said: "Let's start!"

"Leader!"

Zhou Po walked out of the lobby and said to the shopkeepers gathered outside: "What's wrong with each other, report it."

"I'm short of cloth here!" Zhou Hua shouted.

"Record!"

I don't know when, more than ten men came, set up the case, and waited on them with pen and ink.

"What cloth?" asked a man.

Zhou Hua said: "Yuezhou Lingling, Baidi brocade... It would be great if we can get these. As for Shu brocade, that's all, that's a luxury."

Zhou Po chuckled, "Shu brocade? The biggest merchant in Shu brocade in Shu land was Alang's servant. The purchase price can be [-]% lower than the cheapest one in Chang'an city!"

Zhou Hua: "..."

He looked at the lobby in disbelief...Zhou Qin sat at the head with a calm expression, facing the challenges of the clan elders, he refuted them one by one.

"What the old man lacks is ironware. Those bastards say that the entire Chang'an ironware workshop will not do business with Zhou's!"

A shopkeeper said angrily.

Zhou Po smiled, "In the city of Chang'an, Chunyu's and Wang's are the most respected iron workshops. Many people don't know who the third one is."

The shopkeeper is a veteran in this industry. "Third, it is very mysterious. Some people say it is the property of a certain nobleman."

Zhou Po shook his head, "The man in control is named Jiang Shu, and his surname is Zhou."

The shopkeeper was stunned, "That turned out to be my Zhou family's property? God! Who arranged it?"

Everyone looked towards the lobby.

The crowd is always chattering.

Zhou Qin retorted calmly.

"What's the difference, just report it!" Zhou Po said: "Alang has been preparing for this day for many years. Today, let Chang'an see the background of my Zhou family!"

In Chang'an City, many shops began to replace their plaques.

There is an extra Zhou family before the new plaque.

Those warehouses were opened one by one, and all kinds of goods were continuously pulled out.

In an instant, the stores that were out of stock restocked.

Zhou Zun went home.

Seeing those clan elders staring at Zhou Hua dumbfounded.

"... Alang has been preparing for this in the early years. Alang said that it doesn't matter if you fail once, and we will continue next time. The Zhou family must replace the Yang family and become the number one family..."

Zhou Zun stopped and looked at his father who walked out of the lobby.

These years, Zhou Qin has been dormant, leaving the house very few times.

Everyone thought that he was like this in this life, but who would have thought that he would prepare these in secret.

No, it is operating these.

"Aye!"

Zhou Zun secretly complained to his father for a while, thinking that he was too careless in conspiring with Emperor Wu, which caused Zhou to stay dormant for many years.How much has the Zhou family lost over the years?
Although he didn't say it out loud, Zhou Qin could naturally feel his emotions because of his father-son nature, but he didn't say a word, and he still walked the bird every day, just like a prisoner trapped in a cage.

Zhou Qin walked down the steps.

He patted his son on the shoulder, "When the plot between the old man and Emperor Wu failed, the old man asked himself to stay at home, and even gave three mines as compensation.

How many people laughed at the old man as an idiot, but the old man didn't defend himself.

An eagle and a sparrow argue how magnificent and meaningful the cliff is? "

Zhou Qin walked slowly, "The old man is meditating at home, but he has never forgotten to replace Mrs. Yang.

The old man observes the children in the clan and finds out those who are qualified. It was at that time that Zhou Po was recruited by the old man and cultivated secretly.

The old man gave them money, gave them directions, and let them go out to do business.

Over the years, there have been gains and losses, but the gains outweigh the losses.

What the old man wants to tell you is that the Zhou family has a sum of money, which is dedicated to desperate situations.The old man used that sum of money... I haven't told you all this time, can Da Lang be wronged? "

Zhou Zun shook his head, his eyes were a little red.

Father has been watching him, did not take these things out, more like grinding.until now.

He underestimated his father.

"Aye, everyone in the world has misunderstood you! No, they underestimated you."

The father's talent has been accumulating.

Zhou Qin said with a smile: "It's just a bunch of fools, why does this old man need others' approval?"

He stopped and turned around, "From today on, you are in control of these!"

Zhou Zun shook his head, "Aye happens to be in control of these things at home."

"The old man didn't give it to you in the past because he was waiting for an opportunity.

You were a little tender at that time. If these properties were brought out, the emperor and the Yang family would target you.

Now Zitai has become the lord of the northern border, and you are his father-in-law. If the emperor dares to attack you cruelly, the next time, it may be Zitai who will attack him cruelly.

It's a deterrent, it doesn't work, but it works! "

"Yes."

"But in the final analysis, everything depends on oneself. If these properties are thrown out, the emperor and Yang Songcheng will be suspicious. They are worried about how much tricks the old man has in his hands.

Just like a woman, undressed, boring.

Obscure, but extraordinarily alluring.

Competing with others is the same.Many means, it is better to contain but not send. "

"Yes, children are educated."

"Zitai!" Zhou Qin sighed, "This uncle of the Zhou family has become the lord of the northern border. The old man is looking forward to it, waiting to see how he will rule the northern border.

This old man has an extravagant hope that one day, the Northern Frontier Army will make Chang'an fearful, so that Zitai can protect himself by manipulating the ups and downs. "

Zhou Zun nodded, "Zitai is now riding a tiger. Even if the king of Yue succeeds to the throne, there will be no peace between the monarch and his ministers.

If he took the initiative to lift his power, he would not be able to escape the suspicion of the emperor, and would inevitably die in the end. "

"It's good that you understand." Zhou Qin was very satisfied, "You feel sorry for Aning, and the old man can't bear to bear her. And that chubby boy, A Liang! It hurts just thinking about it."

"Aye, manipulating the ups and downs is also a dead end."

How many powerful ministers manipulated the ups and downs in history, and only a few of them ended well.

"But, this is not the old man.

The old man is gone, but you are still here.You are gone, Jianming is here.

We are here, and Mrs. Zhou is here.

With the Zhou family around, can't they protect the Yang family? "

"If the future emperor wants to do something..."

"Then let's kill the fish and break the net!"

Zhou Qin rubbed his stomach, "I'm a little hungry, so I asked the kitchen to get some wine and food. Today, I want fine wine."

"Aye, where are you going?"

Zhou Qin took down the birdcage and carried it outside.

"The emperor was waiting for the news that the Zhou family was in dire straits, but unfortunately there was none. He would be angry, but he would not show up.

Yang Songcheng is known as the father-in-law, but the old man bets that he is the one who will come forward at this time.

Why!The head of the country, the head of the country, mother, this is living like a dog!Not as good as the old man's birds, right? "

Zhou Qin whistled at the bird, and the bird chirped quickly.

"It's really smart." Zhou Zun hadn't paid much attention to his father's bird raising, and was quite curious when he saw this, "Aye, what's the name of this bird?"

"Old dog."

Zhou Qin walked out carrying the birdcage, "Old dog, bark."

Birds chirping, very lively.

It looked like a dog.

Zhou Zun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aye, this name is too...a bit indecent."

"It wasn't called this before."

"What was it called?"

"Li Yuan!"

Isn't that the name of the Supreme Emperor?Zhou Zun: "..."

Seeing Zhou Qin go out, he ordered: "A few more good hands in the family go."

……

"Your Majesty, many industries suddenly appeared in the Zhou family, ranging in size. The king and others suppressed...failed."

Han Shitou looked very sad.

"Zhou Qin!" There was a stern look in the emperor's eyes, "What a Zhou Qin, all these years of dormancy, it turned out that he was pretending to get this property secretly."

The emperor is afraid.

Han Shitou said: "After all, it's not easy to tear your face."

The emperor likes to keep dogs, and when it is inconvenient for him to come forward, he lets the dogs take the blame.

Sure enough, the emperor said, "Stone."

"His Majesty."

"I am tired."

"Yes." Han Shitou said softly: "The father-in-law has been very easy-going recently, and this servant thinks that it is better for him to take on more burdens."

"Ok!"

Han Shitou went to find the abbot himself.

As soon as he entered the value room, Han Shitou found that the father-in-law's expression was normal, but he knew that Yang's source of news was not bad.

Sure enough, the city is really good, but before Zhou Qin's stunning talents, he seemed a little dejected.

"Your Majesty, I'm tired."

Four words!
The head of the state nodded, "Report to Your Majesty, rest more."

They are all smart people, needless to say.

No need for courtesy either.

As the leader of the alliance, Yang Songcheng needs to slap the rebellious Wang family and Zhou family.And the emperor needs to destroy a powerful family to show the world that the emperor is still as majestic as before.

But it failed.

Someone has to come forward and take responsibility, right?
Give an explanation to the rich and powerful who follow below.

The father-in-law is obliged.

Yang Songcheng sent Han Shitou away and said, "I'm going out for a while."

He needs to summon the big names to appease the matter.

And, some compensation.

He was escorted out.

"I've seen the king!"

"The head of the country is going out in person!"

The officials outside saluted one after another.

Very lively.

Suddenly, the officials in front turned around one after another.

He looked ahead in amazement.

Yang Songcheng walked over.

An old man walked slowly into the imperial city with a birdcage in his hand.

No one dared to stop him.

He looked left and right, looking at those yamen very curiously.

"After so many years, it still looks like this!"

It was Zhou Qin who came.

For many years, the former head of the Zhou family who was regarded as a fool by the outside world.

Come slowly now.

The officials who stood in front of them avoided one after another.

Yang Songcheng teamed up with the dignitaries of the aristocratic family to give the Zhou family a blow, but who knew that Zhou Qin had planned a big situation over the years.

This amazing talent is stunning and amazing, but at the same time, he can't help but sigh with emotion for the failure of his plan back then.

As for the so-called idiot evaluation, it is completely gone in everyone's mind at this moment.

It turned out that the idiot was waiting for me!

Zhou Qin walked up to Yang Songcheng.

"That year, the old man and Emperor Wu conspired to weaken the aristocratic family, and the matter was leaked. This is not your fault."

He has been guessing and pondering for many years, and finally pointed the target at the then prince Li Yuan.

That old dog who has been pretending to be weak!

"You have been waiting for this old man!" Yang Songcheng smiled, "Years of hard work and layout really amazed this old man."

"No, you think highly of yourself." Zhou Qin shook his head, "The layout of the old man these years is not aimed at the Yang family, let alone those aristocratic families. It is the Supreme Emperor."

After that incident, Li Yuan began to suppress the Zhou family continuously.Zhou Qin prepared these, and he was preparing for the second move.

"Do you really want to die?" Yang Songcheng smiled.

"If someone really wants to kill the Zhou family, those industries will become the confidence of the Zhou family to resist. Money, goods, food...all are there."

But not long after Li Yuan ascended the throne, he was kicked out by his son.

"The old man's plans all came to nothing. I thought I would keep it hidden, but I didn't expect...you jumped in. Are you stupid?"

Zhou Qin lowered his head and asked, "Old Dog, are you stupid?"

The birds chirped crisply.

Yang Songcheng looked normal, but the followers behind him knew that Alang was strangely angry.

Zhou Qin walked outside the palace city and looked inside with a lot of emotion.

Salute suddenly.

"Your Majesty, the old man is here again."

The sergeant guarding the gate knew that this was a fairy game, and unless Zhou Qin forced his way through the palace gate, he would not interfere.

Zhou Qin stood there for a long time, turned around, and walked away slowly.

In that year, Emperor Wu ascended the throne as a woman and ruled the world.

What a divine power!
The emperor in his heart is only Emperor Wu!
Li Yuan and his son.

It's just a crown of monkeys!

"Old dog, you say yes?"

Birds fold their wings.
