Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

The reason why there was such a big battle today was all done by Zong Zhen.

Half a month ago, when Su Mu came to the door, he was having a fight with his wife, his face was red and his neck was thick.

To be honest, Zong Zhen was at the end of his rope at that time.

Ever since my sister and Wu's second child got engaged, on the surface, it seemed like a good marriage.He, Zongzhen, transformed himself into the in-laws of the Salt Transport Envoy, and climbed to the top.

So, after getting the news, friends from all corners of the world came to him and asked him to find a way to make money for the brothers.

Think about it, the transshipment envoys of the dignified Salt Division have become your relatives, so why don't you seize this great opportunity to make a few votes.At that time, as long as you show your Zongzhen banner, will the soldiers of the Salt Division dare to come and check your private salt?

At that time, as long as he is really willing, he will be able to occupy the entire private salt market in Hebei immediately. After a few years, his family property may be even more arrogant than that of the salt merchants.

Therefore, friends on the Tao kept posting to invite Zongzhen to have a drink.

Although Zong Zhen is a private salt dealer, he is more often used as a contact among the salt lords. He does not sell much private salt, and he is just a middle-class family in Cangzhou City.Because of loyalty, Zongzhen has a very good reputation in the Tao.In the past, he had had a few drinks with the big salt lords from all over the place.

But this time, there were too many people who invited him to drink, and it was too crowded.Zongzhen immediately felt something was wrong, and thought with his toes, knowing that these people wanted to cooperate with him.

After thinking about it, Zongzhen refused.On weekdays, he also lives in seclusion, and doesn't deal with friends in the rivers and lakes very much.

The reason is very simple, the girl will marry into the official family.In the future, if I smuggle salt again and spread the word, I will not look good in face, and my sister will definitely not be able to hold her head up in the Wu family for the rest of her life.

For the lifelong happiness of the little girl, Zongzhen felt that it was time for him to wash his hands in the golden basin and bleach himself.

The problem is that Zong Zhen was caught by Su Mu once when he smuggled salt last time, and all the money was lost.Later, some money was spent preparing for the dowry for his sister, and now, his family is suddenly too poor to open the pot.

It is exaggerated to say that the whole family eats porridge, but it is true that the family of seven has not seen meat for half a month.

He could endure it, but his family cared about the child, and he was in a bad mood, so the couple quarreled over trifles.

At this time, Su Mu came to the door. Although his wife was anxious, she gave Zong Zhen face in front of the guests, and retreated after seeing the courtesy.

Zong Zhen was a little embarrassed when Su Mu encountered his husband and wife quarreling.

Hero Zong is naturally clear about his identity. He knows that his surname is Su, and he is a master.

The two sat down, before Zong Zhen could ask, Su Mu chuckled, "Hero Zong seems to be in a tight spot."

Zong Zhen was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice with a blushing face: "Master Su is making a joke. Zong Zhen lost his money. Apart from selling goods, he doesn't know how to make a living, and he doesn't want to ruin Master Wu's reputation. That's why..."

Su Mu: "Actually, I know what Zong Daxia used to do to make a living. I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Master Su, please tell me."

Su Mu: "Private salt is a beheading business. If you have no worries and are forced to make a living, you deserve sympathy. But Zong Daxia has a family and a mouth, and the family counts on you. If there is something good or bad, this family is considered a good one. It's over. It's more important to find something serious to do."

"Master Su is right, but Zongzhen has been in the rivers and lakes all his life. He only knows how to fight and kill, but he doesn't understand other things... and he doesn't want to ask Master Wu to make my younger sister unable to hold her head up in the future..." Zong Zhen looked sad: "Even if you want to manage other businesses, you can't do it, and you don't have the capital."

Su Mu laughed: "I will show you a way."

Zong Zhen knew what Su Mu was capable of, and his face beamed with joy.

Su Mu pointed to the back strap placed in the corner: "As for the capital, it's just that you take it yourself."

"This is..." Zong Zhen looked at the salt ticket and was stunned: "Dare to ask, how much is this worth?"

Su Mu said lightly: "This is called a salt ticket, and the total value is 100 million taels..."

As he said that, he roughly explained how to operate with Zongzhen: "You know a lot of salt lords, and they must have a lot of spare cash on hand. If you can sell all of them, you can raise a handling fee of 1 taels. This is still The first issue will continue to be sold in the future. It doesn’t need to be too much, you can always see tens of thousands of taels in a year, and it depends on your ability to earn more or less.”

When Zong Zhen heard that this piece of waste paper was worth a million taels of silver, his face suddenly changed.

He trusted Su Mu very much.In the eyes of people in the Jianghu, a master Juren is simply a figure living in another world, and he can only look up to him.

Zong Zhen naturally obeyed what he said.

In this way, Zong Zhen gathered more than a dozen brothers under his command and began to prepare for the sale of salt tickets.

To put it bluntly, his role is similar to that of a brokerage in later generations.

Princess Taikang also moved from the Taoist temple to Zongzhen's home. Zongzhen naturally respected this beautiful woman and had a reputation as a liar.

What's more, this female swindler behaved very well, she looked proud, didn't care much about others, she kept a cold face all day long, and only put on a smiling face when she saw Master Su Musu.

"This vixen seems to be ambiguous with Mr. Mei." Zong Zhen's wife had sharp eyes, and whispered to him, "Mei Fugui caused a lot of trouble because of the suspension of his wife and remarriage, and now he finally got Mr. Wu's forgiveness. If because of It is troublesome to have an affair with this vixen and offend Mrs. Wu."

Zong Zhen was taken aback and felt a headache. He wanted to persuade Su Mu, but he didn't know where to start.It can be seen that Su Mu trusts Yizhen very much, and it seems that all the accounts of this new firm called Development Bank are in her hands.

It can be said that this female liar is the treasurer of the distribution.

On the contrary, her two girls, Yibing and Erbing, are very good. They can go to the hall, go to the kitchen, and carry sacks. They are like two strong men and get along well with the four children and their wife.

……

"Master Zong, dare to ask, will Mr. Wu from the Yan Division come today?" A voice interrupted Zong Zhen's memory.

Looking up, it was a salt lord named Hong from Daming Mansion.

After discussing with Su Mu, Zong Zhen immediately posted a post to the salt lords he knew, saying that there was a great fortune to be given to all the Jianghu brothers.And make an appointment to invite everyone to have a gathering in Jialelou. At that time, Mr. Wu, the Changlu Salt Transport Envoy, would like to meet with you and have a glass of wine.

Salt owls are humble, even if they are wealthy, they still can't hold their heads up in front of people, and they want to find a backer day and night, and if something happens, there is a support in the officialdom.

They're all gangsters, who the hell doesn't like black and white to have both ways, come to collude with officials and gangsters?

Now, Zong Zhen actually brought out a transfer envoy from the third rank, why didn't everyone flock to him.
