At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 177 Shen Wan Sanye to Sizhou City
At midnight, everything is silent.

A mansion located in Wuyu Lane to the north of Sizhou City.

There is a mighty and majestic stone lion on the left and right sides of the mansion, which looks extremely luxurious.

On the plaque on the door of this mansion, there are two powerful characters: Shen Mansion.

The door plaque is made of high-quality pine wood, and the two characters on the door plaque are inscribed by local celebrities in Sizhou City invited by the Shen family. For these two characters, it costs hundreds of taels to count as the writing fee. silver.

The door of the mansion is open.

Looking inside from the outside, you can see the lights inside.

On both sides of the door, there are ten servants on duty, five on each side.

The fabrics worn by each servant are extremely precious, all of which come from Gaoyou City, and are woven by skilled tailors, one stitch at a time.

They all yawned, their eyes were bloodshot, and their brows were full of self-evident arrogance.

However, at this time, when they saw a figure walking out of the room, the ten servants cheered up and stopped yawning. All of them smiled, bowed quickly and said: "Young one, I have seen Guanshi Shen."

The figure walking out from the back room of the mansion is Shen Jin, the head of the caravan in Sizhou City.

I saw that Shen Jin was wearing a blue double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown with the words "Shen Family" embroidered with royal blue silk thread on the skirt and cuffs, and indigo trousers tied into brocade boots. A few wisps of sadness, seem a little preoccupied.

To the salute of the ten servants, Shen Jin just nodded his head, and kept wandering in the dark and silent alleys on both sides.

According to the date, and calculating the itinerary, at this time, the people from the main family's direct line in Jiangdu should come.

Looking at the empty and dark alleys and streets on both sides, Shen Jin couldn't help frowning.

The head of the family asked him to come to Sizhou City as an outpost first, and deal with all the matters of opening a restaurant in Sizhou City, and he would send people from the Shen family's direct descendants to come to Sizhou City afterward.

Moreover, during the day, he also received a letter sent by the head of the Shen family, which said that people from the Shen family's direct line would rush to Sizhou City in the middle of the night.

However, it's midnight now, but no figure of the master's family has been seen yet.

suddenly.

Shen Jin subconsciously looked at the deep and secluded alleyway on the left side of the gate, pulled himself together, turned to look at the ten servants standing in front of the gate, and warned: "Cheer up, the master will have something later." When important people come, don't be rude."

Hearing this, the tiredness on the faces of the ten servants was swept away, and even their bloodshot eyes shone brightly.

After finishing speaking, Shen Jin stopped looking at the ten servants behind him, and began to straighten his clothes. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Shen Jin bowed, and stood outside the mansion with respect in his eyes, ready to welcome the important family of the Shen family. characters arrive.

The sound of carriage wheels suddenly made a sound in the dark night, causing the ten boys standing in front of the gate to follow the sound and look away one after another.

Nearly.

The four sides of the carriage are wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk, and the windows inlaid with gold and jewels are covered by a curtain of light blue crepe, so that people outside the carriage cannot see the gorgeous passengers.

Behind the carriage, there was a group of ten people following. Everyone looked tall, with a strong back and a hunchback, and their eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

The boys all stared straight at them, bowed their bodies and lowered their heads one after another, but stared at the carriage closely from the corner of their eyes.

Shen Jin walked quickly to the carriage, and bowed respectfully to the people in the carriage: "Shen Jin, the master of the Sizhou city of the Shen family, has seen the master."

Because just now, after Shen Jin noticed the layout outside the carriage with sharp eyes, he knew that his Patriarch had come to Sizhou City in person.

After all, Shen Jin took the initiative to step forward, bowed and lifted up the expensive curtain.

At this moment, a white right hand was also stretched out from inside the car, with a gleaming jade ring on the thumb of the right hand.

Gradually, a person came out from inside.

This person is about twenty years old, looks calm and calm, his eyes are as calm as water.

Looking carefully, he is wearing a snow-white gown with straight breasts, the clothes are vertical and textured, and a wide belt with moon white peony pattern is around his waist. Only a piece of black jade of excellent quality is hung on it, and the shape looks extremely Sophisticated and quaint.

The black hair was tied casually with a silver ribbon, without a crown or hairpin. A few strands of hair on the forehead were blown away by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and fluttering, appearing quite light.

After getting off the carriage straight away, Shen Wansan raised his head and met Shen Jin's gaze: "These guards, you arrange, especially the things in the carriage, and ask the servants to move them to the study. Tonight, I will rest in the study. Later When you're done, come see me in the study."

Shen Jin nodded: "Yes, Patriarch."

Immediately, Shen Wansan ignored Shen Jin and directed the ten servants to move things out of the carriage. He fixed his eyes on the word "Shen's House" on the door plaque, and was stunned for a while.

Under the leadership of his servants, Shen Wansan came to the study room that Shen Jin had already arranged.

The study room is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, and none of the necessary decorations are missing.

Shen Wansan looked around the study in front of him, staring at the burning incense in the study, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Extinguish this incense." Shen Wansan said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, the servant hurriedly extinguished the incense, and then stood beside him bowed, with his head lowered, looking a little worried.

After a while, Shen Jin came.

Shen Jin waved his servant to leave, and the servant hurriedly closed the door of the study before leaving as if he had received amnesty.

Shen Wansan turned his back, Shen Jin lowered his head, but the corner of his eye fell on Shen Wansan's back.

"In the past few days, you must have known about Sizhou City. Tell me what you have learned in Sizhou City." Shen Wansan said suddenly.

Shen Jin did not hesitate at all: "Report to Patriarch, this Sizhou City will never be worse than Jiangdu in the future."

Shen Wansan stood there silently, without responding.

Shen Jin continued: "General Cheng Deling Zhang Yi of Sizhou City is responsible for the establishment of Sizhou Port. At present, this Sizhou Port has been completed. Moreover, according to small calculations, after the completion of this port, the future benefits will be huge. However, this matter, after all, involves the Sizhou Army, and Sizhou City is the site of the Sizhou Army, if our Shen family wants to seek this benefit, we must cooperate with the Sizhou Army."

Shen Wansan said lightly: "Have you contacted Zhang Yi, the head of the Ministry of Commerce?"

"Already contacted, and Zhang Yi sent someone to inform the little one that the general Cheng De, who conquered the captives, will go to the world to make an appointment tomorrow." Shen Jin replied.

Shen Wansan's eyes lit up immediately, and he suddenly asked calmly: "How is the preparation for the dowry for Ling'er?"

Shen Jin replied: "I hope the Patriarch can rest assured that all this dowry has been left in the world to drink. Just wait for General Zhenglu to send someone to take it away tomorrow."

"Have you seen the bell?"

Hearing Shen Wansan's question, Shen Jin replied truthfully: "I have never met Miss."

Shen Wansan was startled, turned around and looked at Shen Jin: "Tell me everything you know about Ling'er."

"Patriarch, according to the information I have collected, the lady has been staying in the general's mansion. However, the general's mansion is extremely heavily guarded. There are also Jinyiwei and Jueshengwei, who are humble in status, even if they deliver invitations, they are still gone."

Hearing Shen Jin's words, Shen Wansan opened his mouth and said: "Since Cheng De, the general conquering captives, is willing to come to the Shen family's world drunk for an appointment, then I will personally ask about Ling'er's situation at that time. After all, as Ling'er's elder brother , I still have the qualifications."

Shen Wansan: "Did the local merchants in Sizhou City participate in the opening of the port?"

Shen Jin: "No, I even found out that the local businessmen in Sizhou City are cooperating to threaten General Zhenglu, wanting General Zhenglu to agree that their sons can be exempted from the imperial examination and enter the Sizhou military system as an official!"

Shen Wansan sneered: "It's so stupid! A group of poor people who can't understand the situation! Soon, the local businessmen in Sizhou City will suffer from their own consequences. If it is serious, they may be wiped out because of this!"

Shen Jin looked at Shen Wansan in disbelief with awe-inspiring heart.

Shen Wansan seemed to have noticed Shen Jin's gaze, so he slowly said, "From now on, you will be in charge of Sizhou City. Just in time, I will take this opportunity to talk to you about what I will say next. , you have to remember."

Shen Jin pricked up his ears, held his breath, and stared at Shen Wansan closely, with seriousness written all over his face.

"First, the Sizhou Army is the king of Sizhou City. To be precise, Cheng De is the king of Sizhou City. If you want my Shen family to gain a foothold in Sizhou City, you have to understand one thing, don't follow Sizhou City. Go against the heavens here, otherwise the family will be ruined at the least, and the family will be ruined at the worst. The local businessmen in Sizhou City can't even see this. It can only be said that their eyes are covered by the trivial interests in front of them. They are destined to be It won't last long."

Shen Jin looked at Shen Wansan in amazement, with hesitation on his face: "Patriarch, so those Sizhou local businessmen are going to usher in the revenge of General Cheng De?"

Shen Wansan: "I think Cheng De should have already started to take action. Our Shen family should not interfere with these matters. Once Cheng De attacks those local businessmen, if any Sizhou local businessmen put their ideas on our Shen family, we hope to pass Our Shen family then contacted Ling'er to blow Cheng De's ears and so on, and refused all of them. No one could accept gifts, and told every servant in the house what I said. In the future, if anyone dares to collect money randomly to participate in it, once found out, not only will he To usher in the revenge of my Shen family, I will personally send him to Cheng De and let Cheng De deal with it."

Shen Jin nodded heavily, and immediately assured: "Patriarch, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the servants in the mansion."

Shen Wansan looked at Shen Jin with a satisfied expression: "Remember, in Sizhou City, our Shen family must not touch what Cheng De forbids, and then cooperate more closely with the Sizhou Army. For example Tomorrow, I will personally negotiate with Cheng De, and my Shen family will participate in the opening of Sizhou City to attract investment. In the future, if there is a similar opportunity, you have to remember, don't hesitate. It has always been a gift in the snow, and there will be a big return ah!"

"The reason why I told you these words is to let you understand that everything we have done is to prepare for Ling'er's backing. Once Cheng De wins the world in the future, Ling'er will at least be a concubine at that time." , the child she gave birth to is the prince. And I am the uncle of Ling'er's child. The wealth and wealth of the descendants of my Shen family are all tied to Ling'er. As long as Ling'er gives birth to a son, even if Ling'er's son has no chance to succeed Cheng The position of virtue, my Shen family's wealth can also take this to a further step."

Shen Jin's eyes were shocked, and he looked at Shen Wansan in disbelief: "The Patriarch is saying that this general of the Sizhou Army has the hope of winning the world?"

Shen Wansan looked at Shen Jin's appearance, with a hint of contemplation on his face: "Before I came here, Jiangdu Luo Mao had already led the army to attack Zhenjiang Road. After I got here, I'm afraid Zhenjiang Road was taken by Luo Mao, right? Perhaps, In the next few days, Luo Mao will send someone to deliver the good news! Luo Mao, I have dealt with him several times, this person is unfathomable. However, such a person is serving Cheng De, you What about Cheng De? Maybe it's not a bad thing for Ling'er to marry Cheng De as a concubine."

"Furthermore, Cheng De's previous announcements of increasing troops were all over the place under his rule. I have carefully calculated that Cheng De now has at least 50 troops. Go in. Moreover, I always feel that Cheng De should have some other backup."

"At least 50 soldiers and horses, there is still no false element. Tell me, how many people in this world can compete with this Cheng De?"

Shen Jin couldn't be calm for a long time. From Shen Wansan's mouth, he seemed to realize that Cheng De might really be able to win the world in the future.

Shen Wansan seemed to be interested in this matter: "Nowadays in the whole world, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Zhang Shicheng, Ming Yuzhen, and Cheng De are all people who can compete for the world. And the guards in the Yuan Dynasty seem to have independent With constant external troubles and increasing internal troubles, the demise of the Yuan Dynasty is basically something that will happen sooner or later. Looking at the whole world, the most powerful people today are Liu Futong and Cheng De. However, I am more optimistic about Cheng De. "

After all, Shen Wansan continued: "Let's not talk about Cheng De for now, I'll continue with what I said before. In troubled times, no matter what kind of reputation a hero has, there is a most terrible old saying in the history books——"

"In troubled times, if a hero is short of money or wants to get some money, he will either have the idea of ​​the people or the businessman. Cheng De has already gained the reputation of benevolence and righteousness among the people, so his ideas will not be placed on the people. Then, he will make a businessman's idea. In the future, if you are a businessman in Sizhou City, you must thoroughly understand the "Sizhou Law" and strictly follow the rules formulated by Cheng De. Otherwise, if one fails, our hard-earned The silver was put into his pocket by Cheng De."

"Of course, Ling'er, after I meet Cheng De tomorrow, you have to walk around with her more on my behalf."

Shen Jin looked at Shen Wansan with eyes full of admiration, and secretly said: Patriarch is indeed the patriarch, possessing such great wisdom.

"Patriarch, don't worry, the little ones have memorized all these teachings of the Patriarch."

Seeing this, Shen Wansan glanced at Shen Jin with relief: "Go down and rest, you will be busy tomorrow."

Shen Jin bowed and saluted Shen Wansan: "Yes."

After watching Shen Jin leave, Shen Wansan sat at his desk with deep eyes.
