Jinyi champion

Chapter 329 Rebellion
When Zhu Hao came home that day, Zhu Niang took a stack of invitations and handed them to him.

"Xiaohao, you haven't come back these two days. Many people came to send invitations, saying that they wanted to invite you to attend the literary meeting, sit together and discuss the Tao and discuss knowledge. Mother asked Xiaobai to tell them that you are in the palace, and you may not be able to fulfill the contract, but they Insist on keeping the invitation card... You can see when you are free and go to participate."

Zhu Niang was very happy.

Zhu Hao had passed the government examination, and he was about to ask for candidates. It was said that he was recommended to pass the exam directly, which was equivalent to saying that he wanted several talented masters to be his sons.

In her opinion, these invitations are all affirmations for her son, and it is really a big face-saving thing to be unanimously recognized by local students in Anlu at a young age.

Zhu Hao said: "Mother, what do you think is a good thing? They don't know what my talents are like, so they want to invite me over and embarrass me face to face."

"Your case is the real thing, why are you afraid of embarrassment?"

Zhu Niang didn't think so.

Since you are under suspicion, you should bravely prove yourself, always hiding like what?

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mother, why do I have to prove my talents to the local scholars? The more mysterious and unfathomable they are, the more confused they are, and the less they dare to act rashly. Instead, I rushed to prove myself... Once they compared However, there will be a second, third time, so do I still have time to read?"

Zhu Niang sighed softly: "Mother doesn't know much about scholars, so just as long as you think it's appropriate...By the way, Xiaohao, didn't you say that you want to return the business to the family? Any news?"

Zhu Niang didn't know Zhu Hao's plan, so she started to urge him.

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "I don't know why, the Zhu family is very cautious this time, maybe it's because they are afraid that we will dig a hole for them, or maybe the old lady doesn't go out often recently, and her eyes and ears are blocked? Could it be that we can handle the business by ourselves?" Send it to the door with your hands? Oh, it's really worrying."

……

……

It seems very difficult to send a business out, Zhu Hao began to be paranoid.

In fact, the Zhu family has really received rumors, but recently Zhu Wanjian, the second child of the Zhu family, went north to the capital to find his eldest brother. The real person in charge of the Zhu family is Zhu Jiashi. She acts more cautiously and is not as rash as Zhu Wanjian.

On this day, Butler Liu told the old lady the information he had collected.

"...It's true that the third lady's business is running into difficulties. It is said that the shopkeepers under her hand have been unable to pay wages. Now they are gathering together to discuss rebellion, and the owners of those mansions and warehouses plan to take back the house and sublet it to others... ...The merchants in the ferry market are also unwilling to form a bond with the third lady. Before she made a lot of money in business, they were all jealous... Now the third lady has become the target of public criticism..."

The words Steward Liu said were all subject to on-the-spot investigation.

Of course, what he could see and hear was all carefully designed by Zhu Hao and let him discover.

No matter how shrewd Steward Liu is, he would never have thought that Zhu Hao planned a big flood, and the area at the Ferry Market would eventually become Zeguo, and the goods stored inside would be ruined in the end.

Zhu Jiashi pondered for a while, and asked: "Then the third family is content with the status quo and didn't make any reaction?"

"I'm looking around, and I didn't mention borrowing money, but it seems that the business has indeed encountered difficulties. Anlu has recently come to do business with many merchants from all over the country. Zhang Zhizhou, who has just arrived locally, sees that Anlu's business is flourishing, and the exploitation of merchants is becoming more and more serious. When encountering orphans and widows like the third wife, they are even more ruthless. I also heard that Zhang Zhizhou's brother-in-law has already made a living in Zhang Luo..."

Butler Liu gave another piece of news, and then introduced in detail: "The man's name is Xu Han, he is vicious and unscrupulous, and it is said that he has a close relationship with a certain father-in-law of Dongchang. Power, want to intervene in local business."

Zhu Jiashi nodded: "Speaking of which, the business of the third family will be taken away by him, right?"

Liu Guanjia shook his head: "I heard that this person doesn't like running collapsed houses. Maybe he thinks it's too hard. Buying low and selling high can't make a lot of money, but it's annoying to death. If we can make the business bigger, we can cooperate with him If so, it may be possible to completely monopolize the import and export channels of local goods... just the business with Xing Wangfu..."

Butler Liu is very "sensible". He understands that Zhu's family can't touch Zhu Niang now. The biggest reason is that Zhu Niang has mastered the goods procurement and sales channels of Xingwangfu. In cooperation, the two sides naturally stand on opposite sides.

Zhu Jiashi said: "The old third family is doing business with Prince Xing's Mansion, so let her continue to do it, just to run errands for that Su Dongzhu, just to make a name...It is even more convenient for the local collapsed house business to be taken over by the Zhu family. It's safe, no matter how we say it, we are the home of thousands of Jinyiwei, and the local state government dare not offend easily."

Steward Liu nodded, and asked for instructions again: "Then old lady, what should I do now?"

"Continue to put pressure on, buy the shopkeepers and buddies of the old three's family, and let them make trouble. As long as the old three's family can't make money, can't make ends meet, and is boycotted by their peers, they will naturally hand over the business, unless they want to embarrass the government... If you exploit it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep the house!"

……

……

Tang Yin has been busy contacting people from Prince Xiang's Mansion these two days.

As soon as he came, he let the other party hang out for a few days, and then Tang Yin showed up to meet him. The other party didn't know that he was the famous Tang Bohu, and he just regarded him as an ordinary staff member of the palace, and he refused to cooperate everywhere.

This kind of negotiation will not lead to any results at all. After all, no one is willing to spit out the fat in their mouths, and the negotiation has reached a deadlock for a while.

At this time Tang Yin really wanted to ask Zhu Hao for help, but he was a little embarrassed.

The new tutor in the palace is still unavailable. Originally, Yuan Zonggao had indeed found a candidate before, but later, either to avoid suspicion, or because something happened to his family, he did not fulfill the contract. As a result, the teaching work in the school is now mainly done by Zhu Hao. Since Tang Yin was in charge of the palace's external publicity affairs, his time in class was less than half of what it used to be.

Zhu Hao also had to take care of business matters, so he was very busy all of a sudden.

Shopkeeper Ma took advantage of his lunch break to come to the west gate of the palace to wait for Zhu Hao to come out, and explained to him the implementation of the plan.

"...Little Boss, it's strange to say that this time, the old lady of the Zhu family didn't go to Lingtang immediately, but sent someone to contact our shopkeeper and clerk in the Dukou Mansion store, and frequently instigated them from behind, trying to make the people below turn against him. For you... this is not a good sign."

Shopkeeper Ma is the executor of the plan, and he understands Zhu Hao's overall considerations, but the Zhu family's actions are unconventional, which makes him a little flustered.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "My grandmother is still smart, she knows that even if we take all our business away, it will not help. A few mansions and warehouses are nothing more than middlemen to earn the difference. It doesn't matter whether we have warehouses on the ferry. Don't worry, if we don't want to rent from the owner, we can rent from the west, but the important thing is the network and sales channels... They are making a targeted move, which is really clever."

Shopkeeper Ma asked: "Then how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Hao said: "Those shopkeepers and guys, not everyone is with us. There are always those who are not good enough but think they can do everything, and those who are not up to the standard in the assessment performance, let them rebel! We pretended not to know. Love is good..."

"What... what? We don't do anything?" Shopkeeper Ma wanted to say, knowing that his subordinates are rebelling, but watching the changes, isn't that too embarrassing?
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Just pretending, it's best for the Zhu family to think they have a plan, and take away all our mansions, warehouses and traitors, and even take away the contacts and business controlled by those traitors, and then come to my mother Forced the palace... when the time comes, we will borrow the donkey from the slope and transfer some business to them..."

Shopkeeper Ma said: "Small boss, it's fine to give them the mansion and warehouse, why should you give them the contacts and business channels?"

Zhu Haodao: "The business of buying low and selling high doesn't make much money in the first place. When a flood comes, even if the goods are piled up in the city, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. Recently, my focus is on the relief supplies. , hoarding in advance, as for daily necessities, stationery, production materials and other businesses, they can be transferred... just do a full set of acting."

The horse shopkeeper looked aggrieved.

Are you handing over all my business to the Zhu family and making me a poor commander?
As for the relief supplies, if the flood doesn't come, all the business I'm in charge of here will be ruined...

"There is no news about Su Dongzhu recently? For example, what batch of military supplies is needed in the northwest? If there is, we can take the opportunity to ship a batch of goods and clear the warehouse." Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Shopkeeper Ma thought for a while, then shook his head.

He is no longer Su Xigui's subordinate, and his former boss would definitely not think of notifying him first if something happened, but he would only know about it later.

Zhu Hao said: "Then do as I ordered. If there are not many rebels down there, find someone to jump up and down, fan the flames everywhere, and see how many people can stand the test!"

The shopkeeper Ma was very anxious when he heard this.

There is also a reason to push your own shopkeeper and buddies out?
It's fine if there is a problem with the business, but now the business is going smoothly, even if some shopkeepers and staff are not capable, we can't give them the opportunity to change jobs.

"Old Ma, let's take advantage of this incident to see who is loyal to us among the shopkeepers and guys, and make a choice based on our heart... In short, those who betrayed this time will no longer be hired in the future, and they will have to pay a certain amount. For the price, those who are loyal should be promoted vigorously and reused... Is it difficult to train a few people who are in the dental business these days?"

Zhu Hao gave the reason.

Most of the shopkeepers and assistants under him are inherited from Su Xigui. These people have no loyalty to Zhu Hao himself, and they all seek refuge in Zhu Hao for profit.

The assessment system makes those who are not good enough to complain. Some are expelled, while others are struggling near the passing line of the assessment.

Zhu Hao is now creating an illusion to make them feel that Zhu Niang and her son are going to die, and they can choose whether to stay or accept the Zhu family's instigation...

After the flood is over, Zhu Hao will reorganize the ferry business and integrate it into a modern business model.

It was a reshuffle.

……

……

Zhu Hao's plan was implemented step by step.

Sure enough, the Zhu family fell for it.

Six or seven dissident shopkeepers under Shopkeeper Ma joined forces to cooperate with the Zhu family. In order to buy them off, the Zhu family promised to give them a certain percentage of dry stocks and dividends for the new business, and would give them a commission for every deal they made. Compared with Zhu Hao The generous owner is two points higher.

For a while, not only Zhu Hao's subordinates, but also the shopkeepers and assistants of the collapsed houses run by other merchants in the ferry wanted to quit.

"Let me tell you, this time we are cooperating with Mr. Xu from the prefectural office...Master Xu, do you know who it is? That is Xinzhizhou's brother-in-law. He has a lot of business in his hands. If we want to transport the goods into the city in the future, there is no such thing as Mr. Xu." I'm afraid it's impossible for the master to say something. You all think carefully, if you want to follow suit, hand over the business channels you have mastered... you will never treat anyone badly."

Butler Liu personally brainwashed this group of people, and for a while, people were restless and undercurrents surged.
