Chapter 217: Rich as a country, a conspiracy emerges

The merchant boy who was called over looked at Zhang Wei tremblingly.

They still think they have done something wrong.

Only then will he be called by his master.

Zhangjia Commercial Bank is a little different from other commercial banks.

The business done by Zhangjia Commercial Bank is all transparent and formal.

The interests of the imperial court were not involved.

Nor did it endanger the big man.

This is also the reason why Zhangjia Commercial Bank can continue to prosper.

If we follow the historical process, Zhangjia Trading Company has existed since the pre-Qin period and has lasted for hundreds of years.

He is a super wealthy businessman.

At the same time, it is also the object of competition for others.

after all.

The Zhang family is really too rich.

Both the court and other vassal states wanted to take the Zhang family business as their own.

If the main family was not too powerful, the Zhang Family Trading Company would definitely not be able to survive.

As one of the leaders of the Zhang Family Trading Company, they naturally have to be careful and take it seriously.

Now that Zhang Wei suddenly called him, the people in Zhangjia Trading Company were really worried.

They didn't even dare to sit down.

I could only stand aside silently.

Then Zhang Wei gave the order.

"How is the business going during this period?" Zhang Wei looked through the account books they submitted and asked.

"Master, the recent development of the Zhang Family Trading Company has been as usual, without any obstacles, and the exchanges with other countries are becoming increasingly frequent."

"Especially in the Jingzhou area, our Zhangjia Commercial Bank has controlled most of the local economy, and Zhangjia Commercial Bank has its footprints in various industries."

"The shopkeeper passed the business meeting and plans to expand further, with the wine shop as the main business and other industries as auxiliary businesses, so as to jointly strengthen the Zhang family business."

This is a commercial bank meeting held by Zhangjia Commercial Bank some time ago.

The purpose is to continue to grow Zhangjia Trading Company.

The Zhang Family Trading Company is now as rich as the country.

It is the meat and potatoes in the eyes of others.

There must be a strong backer.

During this period of time in the main family, it can be said that the sun is at its peak.

It would be much easier for them to do things if there were people in the court, at least no one would block their way.

Even the vassal states would give them some dignity and would not act rashly.

"Commercial bank meeting?" Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.

He put aside the policy in his hand and looked up at the person in charge of the business bank.

He had supported this man with one hand.

Let him stay in the position of the person in charge of the business bank because this person really has the ability to recognize people.

Whether it was the innovation he carried out on the commercial bank or the various restructurings, they were all for the development of the Zhang Family Commercial Bank.

They also came to win over Zhang Qian.

Only then did the other party firmly decide to send an envoy to the Western Regions.

This decision is also a hugely profitable thing for Zhangjia Commercial Bank.

Zhang Wei previously wanted to develop Zhangjia Trading Company to the Western Regions.

This opens up a new business path.

It can be regarded as the only way for the Zhang family to retreat.

This road is still being opened. When Zhang Qian returns to the Han Dynasty, the matter should be considered half done.

"Yes." The person in charge of the trading bank nodded: "After discussion, our group decided to set up a caravan."

"This caravan is named after the Zhang family and is called the Zhang family caravan!"

"Among them are the escorts trained by the Zhang family. They are only responsible for escorting the goods and ensuring that the goods reach their destination smoothly."

"The second step is to establish various trading houses. The Zhang family is still too weak and it is impossible to control the economic lifeline of the entire Han Dynasty."

"We must develop other people and let them join Zhangjia Trading Company. We will provide them with goods, and they will help the merchants sell and get a 30% bonus."

"..."

"hiss!"

The person in charge of the commercial bank was talking eloquently.

Explain the pros and cons to Zhang Wei clearly.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

Isn't this the way he planned before?
He had previously wanted to ask the Zhang Family Trading Company to set up a convoy in the form of a caravan.

Let the form of escort appear earlier in the trend of history.

In this way, the Zhang family would not even join the army.

It also has the power of self-preservation.

The current trend of knight-errants has not been completely cut off.

There are many people who want to become a generation ranger.

Help the poor and help the poor, rob the rich and help the poor.

And these trading houses are their targets.

Although they are called rangers, they are actually no different from those thieves.

These people are a hidden danger in doing business.

They cannot let the army accompany them to escort them, so they can only develop their own escort teams.

The people at Zhangjia Trading Company are very thoughtful.

Handled everything very well.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei nodded and said with great approval: "Not bad."

"Just do what you think."

"If anyone blocks it, you can go to the local officials and they will clear all obstacles for you."

Zhang Wei said as he took off a jade pendant from his waist.

This jade pendant is one of his powers as minister, and it is also his seal.

Although he does not have particularly great power, he can let people know that the people behind this caravan are from the Zhang family.

"Thank you, Master!"

The person in charge of the commercial bank looked at the jade pendant in Zhang Wei's hand with burning eyes.

This thing came just in time.

Some time ago.

They happened to encounter something they couldn't handle.

Originally they wanted to write a letter asking for help.

One can imagine the current situation of the Zhang family above the court.

They did not send the letter immediately.

nowadays.

Zhang Wei's words and decision made him feel extremely at ease.

With this thing, the rest of the matter will go smoothly.

"Then do you have any other instructions?" The person in charge of the trading bank asked again.

Zhang Wei definitely didn't call them here just to check the account books.

There must be something else going on.

Zhang Wei glanced at the other party.

This man is quite perceptive.

He thought for a while and said calmly: "When we select a caravan, we should choose someone who is smarter."

"Deploy another escort team and follow the envoys of the Han Dynasty to the south of the Han Dynasty."

Ok?
The person in charge of the commercial bank was a little confused.

What do you mean?
They stayed well in the capital.

And the headquarters of the commercial bank is also here.

Although other vassal states have branches of their trading houses, they can evacuate at any time.

Even if there is a loss, it will not hurt Zhangjia Trading Company.

Zhang Wei now asked them to take an elite and escort team to the south.

Why is that?
He looked at Zhang Wei curiously.

I kind of want to ask, but I can't find it easy to ask.

Zhang Wei naturally noticed something strange on this man's face.

Seeing this man's dull expression, he explained: "The political power in the south is scattered, and there is a determination to plot against the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty has ordered troops to be stationed in the south to survey the terrain of the south. You are a businessman, so this is a perfect thing for you!"

This statement came out.

The other party understood instantly.

He looked at Zhang Wei solemnly and bowed slightly towards Zhang Wei.

"Don't worry, sir, the Zhang Family Trading Firm will definitely live up to expectations."

Zhang Wei saw that the other party understood what he meant, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the attendant to send the person out through the corner door.

Although he did it very covertly, he was still discovered by someone who was interested.

In the northwest corner of the capital.

In a small house.

Because a group of people are sitting around the table.

Tea was placed in front of them, and all of them had solemn looks on their faces.

No one said a word.

The atmosphere is very solemn.

I do not know how long it has been.

A man stood up from the stone bench. He looked at the others and said, "How should this matter be handled?"

"Your Majesty intends to fight against the south. The Minyue regime will no longer exist, and even the small neighboring regimes may be affected."

"What do you think?"

The people around him remained silent. What ideas could they have?
after all.

There is also their handiwork in this matter.

These people want to replace the Zhang family.

I want to be the humerus minister of the great Han Dynasty.

I want to establish a firm foothold in Dahan.

I even want to become one of the noble families.

These people, their ancestors are all famous people.

Some people even rank among the top three.

But when I came here, my power was dispersed by the Zhang family.

With their talents, they can definitely catch Liu Che's eye.

Not to mention holding the position of prime minister, but he can still do his best, but what is going on now?

Above the court, the Zhang family has the final say.

They didn't even have a chance to speak.

Those who had opposed the Zhang family before were either exiled by Liu Che or executed.

None of them died well.

Some people even had their entire clan wiped out.

This is such a powerful force.

When the Zhang family continues to grow, there will still be a place for them to stand above the imperial court.

If they don't resist now, there will be no way for them to turn around.

"Someone just reported that someone from the business firm entered the Zhang family's mansion. Isn't there someone who is anxious and has no money to use? Isn't this an opportunity?"

Someone gave a subtle reminder.

The people next to him reacted immediately.

Yes.

Sang Hongyang is now a minister of the court.

And he was highly regarded by Liu Che.

Moreover, this man is from a trading company, and he knows the behavior of merchants best.

If this person were to give advice in the court, the Zhang family would definitely lose an arm.

Even if the Zhang family's vitality cannot be severely damaged, their money can be halved.

Without money, he would not be able to win over people's hearts.

Everyone thinks this is a good idea.

They sat together and discussed tomorrow's court affairs.

The most important thing at the moment is to pull Sang Hongyang over.

This talent is the most important factor in the success of this person.

For this reason, they had to investigate the Zhang family's business income.

See if it lives up to its name.

……

Zhang family residence.

After Zhang Wei finished handling everything, others began to exercise in the backyard.

This body was so hollowed out.

Things at court worried him, and things at home also made him worry.

nowadays.

The Zhang family already has a foothold.

Moreover, the Zhang Family Trading Company also has strategies for advance and retreat.

Apart from the affairs of the Minyue regime, he seemed to have nothing else to do.

When he has free time, Zhang Wei naturally has to seize the time to exercise.

As time goes by.

He could feel his body improving significantly.

After his health improved, Zhang Wei has not forgotten his reproduction plan.

After exercising for a while, he broke into a thin sweat. Zhang Wei took the towel from the attendant's hand and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Then he changed his clothes.

Then we went to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Zhang Wei heard the sound of children playing.

He looked up at the sky.

It's time for school to end now.

It’s not really nonsense.

Zhang Wei entered the backyard and saw two children playing in the yard.

The sound of frolics was endless, making people feel a little lighter involuntarily.

"Daddy!"

When Zhang Xingmin saw Zhang Wei, he immediately stood up straight and bowed his hands towards Zhang Wei. He was very polite and had the demeanor of a young man from an aristocratic family.

"Daddy!"

Zhang Xingguo also put down the small wooden sword in his hand.

He turned to look at Zhang Wei, and then like a small cannonball, he rushed towards Zhang Wei and went straight into Zhang Wei's arms.

Zhang Wei took advantage of the situation and hugged the little guy.

Then he reached out and picked up another little guy.

Carry them into the room.

"Husband, you are back!"

The mistress of the Zhang family, who was standing nearby doing embroidery work, stood up from her seat and leaned slightly towards Zhang Wei, showing everyone's style.

Zhang Wei frowned slightly when he saw his wife doing embroidery work.

Then he put the two children aside and walked over.

He reached out and took the embroidery in her hand and placed it on the curtain next to her.

"Didn't I tell you that you should do less work like this and protect your eyes? Isn't there a dedicated embroiderer in the house? Why do you still do the work yourself?"

Although Zhang Wei cannot change the status of women in this era.

But give them the best life possible.

And he will not prevent the people in the back house from leaving.

The man's requirements for women are not particularly strict.

They can also go to the streets to do business.

When the husband dies, the wife can remarry. This is the right given to them by the law.

"Didn't I give you two shops before? How are they being maintained?"

Zhang Wei missed the topic.

He has left the stewardship in the hands of his wife.

This person is the daughter of everyone, quite like a matron.

The housekeeper is also a good hand. With her here, the whole house is safe and sound, and nothing happens.

Created very good working conditions for yourself.

With such a good wife, Zhang Wei naturally felt attentive and comforted.

"I have nothing to do, I want to make some clothes for my husband!" The woman in Zhang Wei's arms blushed slightly.

Although they are an old couple, she is still very happy to receive her husband's care.

"Don't worry about this kind of thing in the future. If you need anything, remember to come to me. If you feel bored, go to the other courtyard outside the mansion. Don't let yourself be too tired."

Zhang Wei expressed relief twice more, and then asked the attendants next to him to take his two sons down.

After everyone has left.

Zhang Wei held the woman in his arms and entered the bedroom directly.

……

The next day.

Zhang Wei got up early.

He felt his body.

After fucking all night last night, he didn't feel anything wrong.

On the contrary, I felt energetic.

This is obviously a sign that the body is getting better.

After his health improved, Zhang Wei's mood also improved significantly.

With a smile on his face, he got dressed and left the room.

When we left, it was still dark, so Zhang Wei took advantage of the time to practice Tai Chi again.

Afterwards, I changed my clothes and took a carriage to the court.

Today is another ten-year-old court meeting.

After today, there will be a two-day rest.

It's also a good time for him to relax.

Maybe I can go out for a trip and when I come back, I can spread the branches and leaves of the Zhang family again.

The more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more wonderful it became.

After waiting in the court, Zhang Wei looked at the courtiers above the court and frowned slightly.

Why does he feel a little different today?
These people seemed to be avoiding him.

What happened?
Zhang Wei raised his head and looked at Zhang Wangjing, who was standing at the front.

Zhang Wangjing was also confused.

He didn't know why these people looked like this.

Don't even know what happened.

In this situation, they don't have time to inquire, so they can only follow the fate and take it one step at a time.

"The meeting begins!"

As was customary, the attendant came out from around the corner, singing a loud chorus.
