Chapter 259 Chapter 250
Although Wen, Fan and Xie's family hold the lifeline of Zizhou's iron mining industry and are very likely to have assets that can rival the country, they are just businessmen after all, and no matter how long their hands are, they cannot replace the existence of the government.

It should be said that if they want their property to be passed down from generation to generation, they must deal well with the government, otherwise, it would be nothing more than lip service for those in power to overthrow their century-old foundation.

After all, I have only heard of power coming out of the barrel of a gun, but never about power coming out of a pocketbook.

Such attitudes towards Liu Qingdao and Gu Junwei who are actually in charge of Zizhou during a certain period of time can basically tell the character of that family and their bets on the future.

Su Yun leaned against Gu Junwei's broad and warm arms and felt indescribably comfortable. His clothes were made of fine cotton cloth, and when her face rubbed against them, there was a soft and delicate touch. She unconsciously felt as light as a cat. Rubbing lightly twice, he asked, "Then what's their attitude?

Speaking of which, Liu Qingdao is completely incomparable with you and His Highness King Ning, right?On the one hand, there is the local emperor who has nothing in his hands and seems to be involved in Xining, a tiger with unknown purpose. Make a different choice. "

Gu Junwei looked at her nostalgic and lazy appearance, a certain string in his heart was gently plucked, and he leaned towards her face with a low smile, his lips seemed to linger on it, and said in a deep voice: "You Wei Youth? Huh?"

Many of the words she said were always fresh, but it didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning.

"Aren't you a promising young man? How old are you and Li Xian? At the age of 2526, you have already done so many great things."

Su Yundao, although he knows that many things in ancient times cannot be compared with the eyes of modern people, but thinking that most young people of this age in modern times have just stepped out of the ivory tower and entered the society with green and ignorant faces, he can't help but feel emotional.

But to be honest, even in ancient times, there were not many people who made a career at such a young age as Gu Junwei and the others. The idea is completely different.

It's no wonder that people like them who are in high positions at such a young age have a lot of rotten peach blossoms. Whether it's a woman who loves them actively or someone else because of their interests, it can be expected that there will be no shortage of such troubles in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Yun couldn't help curling his lips, stretched out his hand to push Gu Junwei's face away and said angrily: "Aren't you in a hurry to deal with official business? Let's talk about business first."

Perhaps it was because I was satisfied last night. Gu Junwei felt relieved looking at her now, and he was not annoyed when he was dumped by her for no reason. With her current status, she has far more than just money.

Not to mention the small ones such as the mastery of iron ore mining and smelting technology, but judging from their impact on the people's livelihood and economy in Zizhou and even Southern Wu, let alone a state governor, even the current emperor will not easily touch them . "

Su Yun was a little surprised at first, but soon figured it out.

Often those who achieve the ultimate in a certain industry, what they have mastered is not only the industry in their hands, but the lifeblood of an industry.

Gu Junwei continued, "The iron farms in Southern Wu are distributed in twelve states, but Zizhou is the main source of iron, and Zizhou can equal the annual iron production of the other eleven states combined.

And the three families of Wen Fanxie were operating Zizhou’s iron ore industry as early as the founding of the Southern Wu Dynasty. For more than 100 years, do you really think that the imperial court has never thought about taking back this business that is related to the lifeline of the country? "

Gu Junwei chuckled, and said: "In the beginning, it was the founding of the country, and a lot of waste was waiting for prosperity. The imperial court did not expect that it would not have the energy to manage the Zizhou iron mine. climate.

They were united, bribed officials at all levels, and stuck to their own mining and smelting technology, accelerating the expansion and control of the supply and distribution network of iron and ironware. At that time, there was a saying that the supply of ironware depends on Zizhou, and the price of ironware depends on the three surnames.

At this time, even if the imperial court forcibly took back Zizhou's iron mining industry, it might not have the ability to manage it well. Coupled with the obstruction of some officials, in the end it was only based on supervision, except that the three surnames could not mint coins by themselves. Except for weapons and weapons, the rest of the affairs enjoy a high degree of freedom. "

Su Yun couldn't help but tsk-tsk to himself, these three companies are indeed not fuel-efficient lamps, but after thinking about it, there is one problem that I still don't quite understand, "That's the case, how can I underestimate them."

The corners of Gu Junwei's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his right hand to gently brush the black hair on her sideburns, his phoenix eyes were deep and deep, "With such a detached position, even the three surnames who have served as the governor of Zizhou have to give them some face, what do you think? , will they immediately humbly try to curry favor with someone just because Zizhou has been taken over by someone?"

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and the answer appeared in his heart——

will not.

With their status and influence in Zizhou, if the new ruler wants to better control Zizhou, it is more sensible to cooperate with them, that is, Gu Junwei and the others want to deal with the family that is involved with Wang Xiang. It is not easy to act casually until definite evidence is found. Even if you do, you must think about the follow-up countermeasures for maintaining stability.

Just like the Chu family in Yongzhou before, they didn't care about Gu Junwei at all at first, they were so proud, it was because they had the capital of pride!
After clearing his mind, Su Yun looked at him and said, "Even if they don't try to please, but from what you said, they are not indifferent to the new ruler in Zizhou."

Seeing Su Yun's serious eyes, Gu Junwei couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then said: "Well, but on the premise that they have the capital to be willful, it's intriguing to look at their attitude.

Although these three are big families in Zizhou, shopping malls are like battlefields. After more than 100 years of competition, they have already been divided into high and low.

It was the Fan family that made the family business bigger, followed by the Xie family, and finally the Wen family.

What's interesting is that ten years ago, the Wen family was actually the one with the largest family business, but the Wen family has declined sharply over the past ten years. There was also an iron mine collapse three years ago, which seriously damaged their vitality. It is supported by the foundation of the past.

And when Liu Qingdao took control of Zizhou, the closest person to Liu Qingdao was..."

Gu Junwei paused, and suddenly glanced at Su Yun.

Su Yun was listening intently, and seeing him stop suddenly, he couldn't help but give him a strange look, but Gu Junwei smiled, "I think you can always see the subtleties and draw inferences from one instance, why is there no movement at this moment."

Su Yun glanced at him helplessly, "How can I see Wei Zhizhi draw inferences with such a little information? I said earlier that I am not a magic stick at the roadside stall. But since you are looking forward to it, I will just make a random guess, isn't it? The Wen family is the Xie family, more likely the Wen family."

Gu Junwei seemed to be slightly taken aback, his long eyebrows raised slightly, "How do you know?"

Could it be that she really guessed it?Su Yun glanced at him, moved his body in his arms, found a more comfortable position, and said, "Guess, I'm ashamed to call such a little information an inference, it's basically subjective and empirical. .

The Fan family has the largest family business and naturally has the most proud assets.

The Xie family is in the middle. This position is actually a bit awkward. If you work harder, you can get to the top. If you are negligent, you may fall to the end. Therefore, the Xie family may be relatively cautious in dealing with things.

The Wen family is at the end, and generally a large family's decline must not be an accidental phenomenon. Even if there are external reasons, there must be something wrong with them internally. At this time, they are likely to go to two extremes. "

Su Yun stretched out a finger and said, "One, work hard to get the upper hand by any means."

Then he stretched out his second finger and smiled slightly, "Second, the core of the Wen family has been completely broken, and it has already reached the point where it is powerless to be willful or arrogant. No matter which extreme it is, it is very good. The reason for approaching Liu Qingdao."

Gu Junwei looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and suddenly leaned over to kiss her two slender jade fingers, and let out a deep laughter from his throat, "My wife... really predicts things like a god, if when you I went to set up a stall on the side of the road, and I was the first to patronize for my husband."
