Xiuyan City, as the core place of Xiuyan Prefecture, is not only the official institutions such as the governor’s office and the governor’s office, but also the prefectural office of Xiuyan Prefecture. There are also county level 1 government officials. .

So many government offices also make this city extremely prosperous.

Even if the drought has shown signs, in Xiuyan City at this moment, there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries banqueting with relatives and friends, or the wealthy businessmen gathered in various prefectures and counties visiting various high-end places.

Western District Commerce District, a three-storey restaurant on the most prosperous section of the road, in a private room, there is a group of elderly or middle-aged people in gorgeous clothes, drinking and talking.

“Old Zhang, after waiting for many years, we repaired the rock house and finally suffered a drought. This time you Zhang Family, but you are going to make a big deal again.”

Nian held a wine glass to toast to Elderly on the opposite side. Zhang’s surname was Elderly. Under his command, there is the largest food shop in Xiuyan Mansion.

Talking about food business, Zhang Yiwen is definitely at the forefront of the Zhang Family. Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Family is the First Aristocratic Family in Xiuyan. The strength of Zhang Family in Xiuyan City is not in the top ten. , Far inferior to the status of Li Wangjiang, Xu Jiqian, and Lu Zhennan in Xuecheng.

This is not surprising at all. Who cares about the food business of the rich Aristocratic Family of Xiuyan of Cream of the Crop?

Cream of the crop Aristocratic Family, I play sea trade, or intervene in the salt farms along the coast of Yanzhou.

Land of a Province cream of the crop’s Aristocratic Family giants, even if they are not comparable to Xiao Jichen’s Xiao Family, they can touch the edge of that level and become the younger brother of that circle.

Let’s say Xiuyan First Aristocratic Family Tang Family. Since the five generations, there have been two governors of one state, one Shangshu, and three ministers.

This is far inferior to Xiao Family, the three prime ministers and three Shangshu, where is so easy to compare? However, the senior officials of Tang Family for several generations are also continuous. When those senior officials are in power, they basically become the prime minister or Shangshu’s side or subordinate important figure.

Tang Family’s mixed circle, chasing Xiao Family, Xiao Jichen can occupy a port in Xuecheng, and organize a caravan to go to Rome. Tang Family can also cooperate with important port cities to make a fortune in other countries. .

There are also Water Elements such as the Xianghe River spreading from Mochizuki Lake to the surrounding area, which connects all parties in Xiuyan Prefecture. As long as the Tang family controls the river transportation, it is equivalent to Earth. The ancient canals and the Yangtze River and Yellow River transportation channels You’re a big boss, and you collect money once per ship. How profitable is that kind of business?

The second family of Xiuyan, the Shen family, and the third family of Liu, are one or two weaker than the Tang Family. Even in the previous hundred years, they may not have suppressed the Tang Family and become Xiuyan The first time period.

Those circles don’t care about small businesses like food at all.

This is indeed a small business. It is said that there is a drought in the land of Xiuyan Mansion. If the government really wants to help the victims, is it difficult? Not difficult at all! Even if Xiuyan Mansion is in the most central part of the entire big island, the rivers extend in all directions, and the transportation fleet travels within a state. From other areas, the state capital without natural disasters mobilizes a batch of food, with no difficulty.

Don’t forget, this is an area with three crops a year, and one acre of land can harvest more than 600 kilograms by sprinkling seeds. Moreover, the three major islands of Lu are almost all plains and the land is fertile. Very, if it were not for excessive taxes and taxes, the tenant farmers would be able to feed their families even if they were divided between the landlords.

Lu’s grain has always been the common people barely making ends meet, and the gentry and powerful warehouses are almost full of grain and moldy.

Along with the middle-aged smile, Zhang Yiwen’s wrinkled and age-spotted face also piled up a small smile, “Hey, it’s not easy to eat a bite of grain and rice. I’m not like you, Wang Yao’s family. Big. Normally, brothel and casinos make a lot of money.”

“Our Zhang Family also counts on this little food, and we can make a little bit in good years or disaster years.”

>

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged Wang Yao on the opposite side almost laughed. He is also one of the big merchants of rock repairing grains, but the food business is only a fraction of Wang Family’s business, far from his brothel and casinos to make money. But the opposite of Zhang Yiwen’s Zhang Family, almost outside the city, has accumulated tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Is this making a little bit? Talking about the amount of farmland, Zhang Family has more than Xiuyan Tang family, Shen family, and Liu family! Although the Peak Aristocratic Family has long disregarded agricultural profits and turned to commercial capital development, there are still few people who can ignore such local wealth as Zhang Yiwen.

In this restaurant private room, in addition to Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao, the others are also representatives of the grain merchants of the Xiuyan Mansion. It is nothing that those people are inferior to the two, and they become two people around them. Circles.

Forcibly suppressed his heart and laughed, Wang Yao opened the mouth and said, “Old Zhang, none of us need to be humble. Finally, we must grasp the opportunity to make a fortune. I hope we can form an alliance and work together. The market is doing it.”

“Then, I also hope that when I meet someone who can’t live to sell, if Old Zhang accepts much more young and beautiful women, I will transfer it to me.”

Raise the price of food thoroughly, even if the next season will usher in abundant rains, the next cropping period will turn into a bumper harvest, but because of the high taxes and taxes, eight to nine percent of the people still have no surplus, 3- Waiting period of 4 months, what to eat without food? If you can’t live, you can only sell your children and daughters, sell yourself and turn a good person into someone else’s slave.

Zhang Yiwen laughed dumbly, surnamed Wang wants young and beautiful women? Nonsense, his brothel industry is huge and he doesn’t want many beautiful women, how can he develop his business?

After laughing, he gently tapped the armrest of the seat, “What can I get?”

Who would have too many young and beautiful women? Even if Zhang Family doesn’t open brothel, but Zhang Family has many heirs, there are more beautiful servant girls in the house, which can be used by Zhang Family children and grandchildren at any time. Isn’t it good?

As a local wealth, Zhang Yiwen also values ​​this part of Ding Xingwang. Zhang Family is a patriarch. He also has five sons and three daughters.

Grandchildren? Zhang Family has more than 20 grandchildren, and there are several great grandchildren.

Although Zhang Family is only a powerful rock repairer outside the tenth place, there are not only mansions in Fucheng, but also a huge Zhang Clan manor, built like a fortress. The elite servant Ding can easily pull thousands of people, no matter how much the Tang clan, the Shen clan, how much they look down upon him, this does not affect Zhang Yiwen’s pride and pride.

In his laughter, Wang Yao only opened the mouth and said, “Doesn’t Old Zhang know that the group of Monong who built Lishui in my Xiuyan back then?”

“As long as Old Zhang agrees, among the slaves I bought, the young woman asked me to pick first. I can guarantee that I will do more when I follow the Mo family.”

Zhang Yiwen’s complexion greatly changed, “They’re back? Damn, if the Mohist joins in, let’s…”

After us, he had another meal and said in surprise, “Do you dare to fight against the Mohist?”

He really doesn’t believe in trifling Wang Yao, even if he can dominate in the Xiuyan Mansion, he is still only a local tyrant, fighting against the Mo family? It’s not alright to lend him ten courage.

Wang Yao laughed, “Of course it is impossible to confront directly. I have other means and I am waiting for the Mohist school.”

Zhang Yiwen thought for a few breaths before decisively said, “As long as you dare If you do, I will promise you.”

The Mo Family’s reputation is terrifying, far from being comparable to ordinary local tyrants. If the Mo Family returns and wants to lower the price of food, Zhang Yiwen asks himself. The opportunity of disaster fortune, but Wang Yao wants to come out…what about giving him this opportunity to lead?

His words are equivalent to acknowledging that Wang Yao is the big brother of all rock repairing grain merchants during the drought, and the Zhang Family will be under the control.
