Jinyi champion

Chapter 338

The flood peak of the Han River has finally subsided completely, and the water level has dropped to normal levels.

The ferry was in a mess.

Every family is packing up their belongings. Some of the goods in the warehouse that were too late to be transported were either washed away by the flood, or were damaged by brewing, and a series of houses collapsed. As an Anlu cargo transfer station, the biggest loss in the flood this time.

Accompanied by Steward Liu, Zhu Wanquan and others, Zhu Jiashi went to the ferry that was covered with mud after the flood water receded.

When she saw the situation of her own warehouse, she almost couldn't stand still.

"mother……"

Zhu Wanquan hurried forward to help.

"Grandma, are you all right?"

This time, the eldest grandson Zhu Yanling also accompanied him.

Zhu Jiashi saw that the goods he had moved out of the warehouses had already been soaked, and those warehouses that had been washed away by the flood had disappeared.

Butler Liu hurriedly said: "Madam, fortunately, this warehouse is not our own, the loss...is not as big as imagined."

This is purely self-consolation.

If you are in the collapsed house business, the goods in the warehouse are all your assets, and many of the goods are only temporarily stored, involving a lot of money and loans...

"In addition, Mr. Xu sent someone to notify him that it is for post-disaster relief and that he only buys from us, so that part of the loss can be made up for at that time."

Butler Liu continued to comfort her.

Zhu Jiashi closed his eyes: "How much is the loss this time, do you have an approximate figure?"

Butler Liu hesitated: "At least... two thousand taels of silver."

Hearing this news, Zhu Yanling next to him was the first to jump out and question: "It's just some goods, how can it be worth so much money? Besides, isn't this warehouse all owned by someone else? We don't need to rebuild it!"

Liu Guanjia said: "Young master, it's like this. Before we undertook the repair business of local Taoist temples and temples, we shipped a batch of materials, including stone, wood, sand and gravel, etc., all stacked in the warehouse. The value of this batch is very high. High... There are also many bulk commodities, all of which are recorded in detail."

Zhu Wanquan frowned: "When the flood came, did you react at all? Didn't even rush out any valuable goods?"

"This... At that time, the flood came too fast, especially because our warehouses are located in low-lying areas. The area where our warehouses are located was the first to be flooded after the flood, and even if we wanted to rescue them, it was too late...

"It is said that Su, the head of the family behind the third lady, only chooses cheap and large-scale houses when renting warehouses, and has no sense of disaster prevention at all."

Butler Liu could only shift the responsibility to others at this time.

His reasons are valid.

Su Xigui rented a warehouse, and he was doing one-shot business. It was originally for the convenience of doing business with the Xingwang Mansion. Usually, there would not be too many goods in the warehouse. Besides... he was an outsider, and he just took advantage of his strong background. Where can I rent a warehouse with a better location?Of course, a house with a remote location and a large space is a priority.

Zhu Niang's warehouse was inherited from Su Xigui, and the Zhu family's warehouse was inherited from Zhu Niang...

As a result, these warehouses in bad locations did not cause Su Xigui and Zhu Niang any losses, but caused the Zhu family, the receiver of the pan, to collapse directly.

Zhu Yanling said: "Could it be that the third aunt's family deliberately tricked us?"

The old lady couldn't help but glanced sideways at her eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson speaks more and more like his second uncle. He is always messing around and unwilling to admit his mistakes, but he is not very knowledgeable and has a bad temper...

"This...is it hard to blame the third sister-in-law?" Zhu Wanquan said, "Didn't the Zhu family steal the business from her?"

"To shut up!"

Zhu Jiashi naturally didn't want to hear the word "rob".

She was even more angry, she managed to pry the business from her daughter-in-law, but she snatched a bag of gunpowder, and the bag of gunpowder was ignited in a flood, which meant that she dug a hole for herself to jump into?If this matter is to be spread, the Zhu family's loss of wealth and wealth is a small matter, but the embarrassment of people is a major matter.

In the future, the Zhu family will not be laughed at by the local colleagues, saying that the Zhu family will be rewarded for evil?In short, Zhu Jia knew all kinds of bad words, no need for others to say them.

"Old madam, there seems to be the shopkeeper of the third madam, and there are also a few big customers from other places! Hey... Aren't they going to do business with us?"

Steward Liu pointed to the ships parked on the wharf that had just resumed berthing business, and said the people who came down from it.

It was the shopkeeper Ma who was receiving merchants from other places.

These merchants have always maintained business contacts with Zhu Niang, but they still perfunctorily ordered some goods from the Zhu family, so the Zhu family mistakenly believed that these customers had "abandoned the dark and turned to the bright".

Now that something has happened, these customers naturally understand that it is better to be familiar with it than to be a stranger. No matter who the local "Third Mrs. Zhu" is, in short, they are planning for a rainy day when they do business. Take one step and watch three steps. Every step is very safe. With such a powerful patron, who would you turn to if you don't do business with Mrs. Zhu San?

"gone!"

Zhu Jiashi really couldn't bear to see it any longer, and his heart ached, and he wanted to leave immediately.

Zhu Yanling asked a very inappropriate question: "Grandmother is going to settle accounts with the third aunt?"

The old lady sighed in her heart, she was really exactly like his second uncle.

Zhu Wanquan retorted: "How do we settle this account?"

It can’t be called a dumb loss, and it’s an understatement to say that it’s not a loss if you steal a chicken. In short, Zhu Jiashi was furious with this cowardice: “Go back home!”

In the end, only Butler Liu was left at the ferry to clean up the mess.

……

……

The theater garden outside the west gate of King Xing's Mansion.

After the flood, the theater was very lively.

After a natural disaster, with the protection of Prince Xing's Mansion, the local gentry and common people basically suffered no losses. If there is no loss, it is gain. Why don't you spend some spare money to have some fun at this time?After the catastrophe, this kind of spiritual entertainment life is very much needed, so that people can forget the sleeplessness caused by the disaster.

Now in the entire open space, only Zhu Hao's theater is left.

no way……

Even if other theater troupes are decent enough to learn to open theaters here, they will close down in a short time. With Zhu Yu in front, who wants to watch those rotten old plays?

Even if other theater troupes came to steal the teacher, they would not be able to learn it in a short time.

This is not like storytelling, storytelling, you just need to copy the story back and tell it, and singing depends more on stage skills, such as Guan Dezhao's singing skills... You don't have the talent to learn it.

It is obviously not possible to draw cats and tigers. Handan is learning to walk one by one, and it is futile. In the end, it can only avoid Anlu, a place of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so as not to lose money and lose face.

"It was a good show."

Tang Yin accompanied Zhu Hao to watch the show, and now it was finally time for him to relax.

Next to him, Lu Song brought a lot of guards over to protect him personally. The palace seemed to regard Tang Yin as a favorite, fearing that his personal safety would be threatened at the slightest. What's more, Tang Yin came out with Zhu Hao this time... This is the Xingwang Palace now Two baby bumps.

Apart from Lu Song, the one who listened to the opera with the two of them was the shopkeeper Ma who had been reporting business with Zhu Hao in private.

"I said, Zhu Hao, you'd better concentrate on watching the show. You can talk about business anytime."

Tang Yin couldn't help it, and reminded him.

Lu Song poured a cup of tea to Tang Yin, said with a smile, "Why is Mr. Tang so forgetful? This play was written by Young Master Zhu, how much interest can he have?"

Tang Yin glared at Lu Song, as if to say, you have learned badly from Zhu Hao, and you also like to choke on me.

After Zhu Hao finished talking here, he asked Shopkeeper Ma to receive merchants from other places, then turned to Tang Yin and said, "Sir, let's get down to business. The local flood didn't have much impact, and the government's disaster relief funds basically didn't go here. While mobilizing, the local state capital has not got any money, and has already mobilized the gentry to donate money and food for disaster relief..."

Tang Yin frowned: "Want to exploit again?"

"That being said, what can the gentry and merchants do? Could it be that the state government is asking for money and food, and really won't give it?" Zhu Hao said with emotion.

Lu Song commented on the sidelines: "I request the palace to report to the imperial court, and deal with the crime of exploiting the common people by eating vegetarian food in the corpse of Nazhizhou!"

Tang Yin shook his head: "Even if it is reported to the imperial court, I'm afraid it will not change the result for a while... The local flood has not become a disaster, and the imperial court may still remember the prefectural government's credit."

Even Tang Yin saw the situation clearly.

It is said that they want to sue Zhang Yezheng, but the problem is that the local disaster prevention only credits the Xingwang Mansion, and the government has no effect at all?Even if this is the case, the royal family has always wanted to suppress the influence of the local vassals. In order to reduce the role of Xing Wangfu in flood control, even if they know how to make up nonsense, they will highlight the role of the state government.

Reality is so amazing.

Zhu Haodao: "If the supervisory censor, Xing Wang's mansion, and the governor of Huguang, Si Yamen, go to the table to participate in the impeachment, it is probably enough for the local governor to drink a pot."

Tang Yin thought for a while, then nodded.

Zhang Yezheng did not play a fart role in this disaster prevention, and the censor was not blind, and the chief envoy would not stand in Zhang Yezheng's position. Yezheng is afraid that there is no way to argue.

"I'm afraid that this matter will not be heard by Datian, and some people will suppress it." Zhu Hao immediately added.

Tang Yin was a little annoyed: "You boy, which side are you on? You have so many evil ideas on weekdays, it's not difficult to bring down Zhang Zheng, right?"

As soon as these words came out, even Lu Song looked at Tang Yin in astonishment.

Are you sure you're not bragging?
Zhu Hao's ability is great, but it's not difficult to bring down a magistrate with a childish body?
It is clearly a problem for people!

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "If Zhang Yezheng goes down, wouldn't there be Hu Yezheng and Sun Yezheng? Anyone who comes is a 'competition', why not stay here...he has been discredited, and the local officials have long since He treats him like a jackal and beast, there is a saying that there is no harm if there is no comparison, the people have a steelyard in their hearts, and with such a thing against it, the people will feel that Xingwangfu is not easy, and they will be more loyal to Xingwangfu."

Tang Yin was stunned for a while when he heard it, and then said: "You are making too much sense."

There was a disdainful sneer from the corner of Zhu Hao's mouth.

Regardless of what you think of me, you want to use me as a weapon against Zhang Yezheng?Even King Xing can't replace this person, what do you want me to do as a child who has not yet achieved fame?If Zhizhou knows that I intend to target, then can I still do business?

Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, do you understand?
