Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Although Tian Qing is only a housekeeper of the Marquis Zhang Heling's mansion, when he was in the capital, he was used to dealing with rich and expensive people.

When the adults in the court do things, they are full of fire in front of their faces and a knife behind their backs.

In front of you, it seems that I want to give you my heart.As soon as he turned around, he dared to use any means.

This is the temperament of those who do great things.

This Yang Jianzhong organized a small inspection, which caused earth-shattering disturbances, and said so many inexplicable cruel words.If you want to bite someone, you just slap your mouth on the top, don't talk nonsense for a long time, and even bring Master Hou out to make the scene scary.This kind of character can only get along well in a small place like Cangzhou. If it was changed to the capital, they would die without knowing how.

Be a country turtle!

Tian Qing was full of contempt and became impatient.

He came here today purely because he couldn't get rid of Yang Jianzhong's obsession, and considering that his sister was Lord Hou's concubine, he wanted to save face by the way.

Now I regret it: it's too annoying, you Yang Jianzhong really want to punish your enemies, just do it yourself, anyway, everyone in the Cangzhou official circles knows that you are Lord Hou's disciple, so you will give the Hou family some face.Now it's turned into a stern face, not only you, but even me Tian Qing has lost face.You shouldn't be here today.You, Yang Jianzhong, really think you are someone, bah, your sister is not favored in the Hou Mansion, and she didn't even have a son.Lord Hou has more than ten concubines like this. Do you really think that you, Yang Jianzhong, are relatives of the emperor?However, this Yang Jianzhong spoke so harshly, it is possible that he is still afraid of this kid.

Tian Qing's initial attention was actually on Xiao Xiucai, after all, beating a scholar was also a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty.Of course, the Hou Mansion is not afraid, but there will inevitably be many troubles in the future.

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on Su Mu.

When he looked at it, he saw Su Mu raised his head to meet him, with a smile on his lips, looking calm and relaxed.

"This person looks so familiar!" Tian Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he recalled what Tong Yang Jianzhong had said in the study earlier.

That's right, Tian Qing came to Cangzhou with his uncle, Tian Shilang, for no reason.

As early as a month ago, Yang Jianzhong wrote to the Hou's mansion, saying that Mei Fugui, the son-in-law of Cangzhou Salt Director Wu Shiqi, used the official salt as a guarantee, got some kind of salt ticket, and robbed the salt merchant's business.He also said that he was repeatedly bullied by the salt company, and asked Hou Ye to see his sister's face and see how hard he has worked so hard to make money for Hou Ye, and make decisions for him.

Yang Jianzhong is the largest salt merchant in Cangzhou, with a huge family fortune of 60 million taels a year.But in fact, at least half of the five or six million taels of income fell into Zhang Hou's hands.

You know, Yang Jianzhong was just a small businessman before, and if it weren't for the support of Lord Hou, it would be impossible to do such a big business.To put it bluntly, Yang Jianzhong is just a signboard, and the real big boss is Lord Zhang Hou.

Since someone wants to start his own business, Zhang Heling is a person who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes, so he sent Tian Qing to Cangzhou to deal with the matter with Tian Shilang.

One is to find a way to vent Yang Jianzhong's anger, and let the people of Cangzhou take a look at the majesty of the Hou Mansion.The second is to check the Cangzhou Development Bank by the way and see how they operate.

Zhang Heling also loves money very much, and keenly found that once the salt ticket became popular and accepted by major businesses, there were huge benefits in it.You think, salt tickets are equivalent to cash, and what business can come faster than printing money directly?

If possible, he would like to make a similar money ticket himself.As for the guarantee, in his capacity, he might not be able to get one.Besides, the dignified Lord Hou, the hottest dignitary today, is it not easy to promote the money in his hand?

After arriving in Cangzhou, Tian Qing thought about how to get to know this development bank.

After staying at the inn for one night, Yang Jianzhong sent someone to invite him.

Knowing about development banks is the top priority of this trip, and everything else is incidental.

After meeting Yang Jianzhong in the study earlier, the guy couldn't say a few words, and before Tian Qing asked, he began to curse.For a while, they scolded Mei Fugui for bullying others, and for a while, they scolded Xiao Xiucai for being self-defeating and plotting against him.

This made Tian Qing very annoyed, and couldn't help interrupting him, saying: "It's just to deal with two little people, what's the big deal? By the way, how does the Development Bank's salt ticket work, and how does it make money?" of?"

Yang Jianzhong replied sadly, "What else can I do? I just use the official salt as a guarantee, then exchange the salt coupons for low-priced salt, and sell it to make a profit. This is Wu Shiqi's embezzlement in a roundabout way. I can tell."

Tian Qing rolled his eyes when he heard that, if it was really that simple, Master Hou would not have sent himself to find out, it seems that this man surnamed Yang didn't investigate at all.

Yang Jianzhong said again: "Steward Tian, ​​for the sake of my sister, you must take this bad breath out for me. That Xiao Xiucai used my money to make a fortune, this is the bone of someone in Yang Boil my oil, after being caught by me yesterday, he gave me a good beating, and finally calmed down a bit."

"What, you hit a famous scholar?" Tian Qing took a breath, and couldn't help shouting: "Yang Jianzhong, what are you doing to cause such trouble for no reason? It's really going to the government and alarmed the officials of the Xuezheng Yamen Gentlemen, another disturbance. Although my Marquis Manor is not afraid, it is inevitable to entrust human relations, you are really confused!"

Having said that, Tian Qing's expression turned ugly.

Seeing his displeasure, Yang Jianzhong smiled flatteringly, and said in a low voice: "Steward Tian, ​​this... this... this example is too bad, if you don't punish him severely, other people in this firm will follow suit in the future, even Jinshan Yinhai will also be stolen by them. I also know that beating a famous scholar will cause an uproar, but if he is not dealt with, there will be many troubles."

For some reason, he became a little afraid of Tian Qing.

Although Tian Qing is only a housekeeper, he is shrewd and capable, and has a high status in the mind of Lord Hou.

According to her sister's letter, this Tian Qing ranks only behind the old lady and Lord Hou in the Hou's mansion, and manages all the properties under the Lord Hou.It can be said that this person is not only Hou Ye's confidant, but also his number one think tank.

Even she has to often send things to please.If you don't pay back some good words, people will not accept it!

He also told Jie Yang Jianzhong that if he meets Tian Qing in the future, he must seize the opportunity to get close.

Tian Qing heard Yang Jianzhong say this, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, this trend cannot last long, and this case cannot be opened. That's all, let's do it like this. At that time, it will be a big deal to ask someone to go to the Xuezheng Yamen to talk. Anyway, Xiao The embezzlement of public funds by a scholar is tantamount to theft, and in the final analysis, it is justified by the business name."
