At this time, after another afternoon of deliberations at the Minghu Restaurant, Mr. Fang finally reached a compromise with the wealthy businessmen!
"Everyone, everyone~~! Fang is favored by all his colleagues and sits at the head of the Lu Business Alliance. He is really flattered!" Mr. Fang raised his wine glass and bowed deeply to everyone!
"Young Master Fang, you are too modest! It is truly an honor for me to work with you, Mr. Fang! Everyone, don't you think so?"
"Master Fang is not only talented, but his character is unparalleled in the world. With Master Fang here, what do we have to worry about? I also ask Master Fang to teach me so that we can make a fortune together!"
"That's right, that's right! That man named Liu is just a vulgar warrior, how can he be compared with Mr. Fang? We must give him a hard blow this time! Let him understand who has the final say in Jinan City
!Ha ha!"
Seeing everyone holding up his smelly feet, Mr. Fang showed a slight smile. He bowed deeply to everyone, and then said: "Although Mr. Fang is not talented and has little knowledge, he is also a dignified seven-foot man."
! Everyone, you can rest assured. Although the man named Liu is arrogant and domineering, but as long as we colleagues work together, share weal and woe, and advance and retreat together, there is nothing he can do to us! Until then, treat him
The light has faded, let’s find another reason to kill it..."
Mr. Fang paused for a moment, and a fierce look flashed on his face. Although he did not say it out loud, everyone understood what he meant. He glanced at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, you can imagine
Suddenly, at that time, the thousand-mile route along the canal, countless sailing ships, are full of our goods, from Hangzhou to the capital, from Jiangnan to Dagu, this white money will transfer your
My pocket is so bulging! Hahaha!"
"Young Master Wang, haven't you always liked the leader of Wanhua Tower? As long as you have money and smash her in the face, are you still afraid that she won't follow you?"
"Uncle Qin, I heard that you are interested in the courtyard of Hou's house by Xuanwu Lake. I know that the young Hou has a bad temper. However, as long as you have money, we can smash him even if we smash him! Don't worry.
That is, as long as we succeed, this matter will be taken care of by me!"
"Mr. Gong, Young Master Qi..."
Mr. Fang analyzed the pros and cons of everyone one by one, like scratching an itch. A powerful and arrogant self-confidence filled his face, making everyone here look forward to it!
It has to be said that being born into a wealthy family and receiving a good education since childhood made Mr. Fang full of nobility and brilliance, with an inexplicable bewitching power. Even though they knew he was exaggerating, everyone couldn't help but be attracted to him.
attract!
"Mr. Fang, my surname is Wang, I did it with you! I did it!"
"Young Master Fang, Henan Qin Family Trading Company, Mr. Fang is the only one who is following the lead!"
"We hope Mr. Fang will obey!"
Talking about business.
Who doesn't like making money?
Everyone's enthusiasm was completely ignited by Mr. Fang, and they all patted their chests and pledged their support, fearing that Mr. Fang would leave them behind!
Mr. Fang laughed heartily. At this moment, his heart was filled with confidence again. He must make that little bastard who was worse than life and death suffer all the suffering in the world!
"Everyone, please be patient for a moment!" Mr. Fang waved his hand, picked up a glass of wine, and raised it in the air, "To be honest, I have sent out capable men to attack the man named Liu. I believe
In a few days, there will be good news! Come on, everyone, cheers to our best tomorrow!!"
After Mr. Fang finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup first!
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"Haha, what a joy!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank, cheering!
But at this moment, there was a rapid knock on the wooden door outside the attic!
Mr. Fang frowned displeased and winked at a servant next to him.
The servant hurried over to open the door, only to see a frightened servant running in eagerly. He knelt down next to the eldest son of the King of Tai'an, "Young Master, what's wrong, then, Liu Ruyi will lead the troops to surround him."
They took over our shop and said that we were colluding with the Manchu Tatars and wanted to raid the shop and confiscate our house and exterminate our clan!"
"What~~?~What?" Mr. Wang staggered and almost fell under the table. He was already half drunk. He grabbed the servant's shirt and shouted: "What the hell are you talking about?"
Again? Who? Who wants to rebel?"
The servant quickly repeated it again.
This time, everyone heard clearly and couldn't help but turn pale with shock. All eyes were focused on Young Master Fang!
Mr. Fang took a deep breath, but his handsome face looked a little ferocious. He had been preparing for this moment for a long time!
"Everyone, since the man named Liu is going to start a war with us, we can't be afraid anymore! Let's go and meet General Liu together!" After Master Fang finished speaking, he took the lead and strode out the door!
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly followed Mr. Fang!
……………………
Wangji Silk and Satin Shop.
Nearly a hundred soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers had already rushed into the store to search, while Liu Ruyi stood aside with a smile, and the common people present went about their business!
In fact, it is no longer important to Liu Ruyi to find or find no evidence of the Wang family's contacts with the Manchus! What is important is that Liu Ruyi wants the people to know that what he does is
Stand up for the safety of the people in Jinan City!
The so-called people’s will!
With the support of the people and the power at hand, Liu Ruyi has the capital to realize her ambition!
But it is a pity that Ming Dynasty has reached this stage, and 99% of the wealth has fallen into the hands of less than 1% of the people!
Taking Jinan City as an example, if you want to physically eliminate these stubborn wealthy merchants, it is not too difficult for Liu Ruyi, but if you think about it carefully, this is the best choice after all! If it is for the future of Jinan City
To achieve long-term and stable development, Liu Ruyi had to calm down and make peace with them!
Most of these wealthy businessmen are the leading figures in Jinan City. Their family business ranges from decades to more than a hundred years. They control almost all the business in Jinan City, ranging from firewood, rice, oil and salt to livestock, firearms, and weapons.
Blades, and even the population, are within their scope of business! Their network of relationships is intricate and entangled with each other, and one move affects the whole body. If Liu Ruyi presses too hard, it is very likely that they will jointly attack
Counterattack!
A thousand miles begins with a single step!
Liu Ruyi is just like a strong baby now. He is not arrogant enough to try to fight against the entire world with his own power!
Just like Li Chuang, although there are thousands of ravines in his chest and he swallows the sun, moon, mountains and rivers in his mouth, he takes too big steps, and in the end, he makes a wedding dress for others!
Boil the frog in warm water and simmer slowly over low heat!
Picking a soft persimmon and pinching it, looking for opportunities to find flaws!
As a soul who has traveled from the 21st century where knowledge is exploding, Liu Ruyi is extremely playful with these little tricks!
At this time, there was a sudden noise from the east. It seemed that someone had a conflict with the defending soldiers!
Liu Ruyi turned around and couldn't help but smile, today's real master is here!
"Let them come over!" Liu Ruyi waved her hand to Xiao Liu'er!
"Yes!" Xiao Liu'er understood and hurried to the front, asking the soldiers on duty to move out of the way!
Soon, more than ten wealthy businessmen from Jinan City, headed by Mr. Fang, gathered together and headed straight for Liu Ruyi!
"General Liu, you really love the people like your own children! This fire is burning to your butt, do you still have the heart to understand the sentiments of the people here?" Mr. Fang sneered, staring into Liu Ruyi's eyes.
Although he wished he could eat Liu Ruyi alive, after all, things are different now. The little bird in the past has become more mature, and Mr. Fang can only vent his anger in words!
"Haha! Mr. Fang is joking! Ruyi is a rough man and comes from a poor family. Chatting about home affairs with the villagers makes Ruyi feel very comfortable! I just don't know what the purpose of your visit is, Mr. Fang? Ruyi has a poor face.
Ugly, but I can’t take care of Young Master Fang’s dinner!” Liu Ruyi stared into Young Master Fang’s eyes without giving in, but her words were full of ridicule!
A few years ago, when Liu Ruyi had nothing, she dared to pull a tooth out of Mr. Fang's mouth, let alone now?
"You~~!" Although he had already experienced Liu Ruyi's rogue skills, at this moment, Mr. Fang still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, "Liu Ruyi, let's not talk about the past! But now, why do you bring
Soldiers surrounded Mr. Wang's shop? Mr. Wang is a righteous businessman from Shandong. He has contributed money and efforts to the government and the people many times, and everyone has seen it! You are so domineering and bully the righteous businessmen in public. Are you not afraid that Fang will go to the court?
Sue you?"
In terms of force, Mr. Fang is definitely not Liu Ruyi's opponent, but in terms of connections in the court, ten Liu Ruyi cannot keep up with one finger of Mr. Fang!
Mr. Fang, nicknamed "The Dragon Among Men", naturally knew what his advantages were. In just a few words, he put a big hat on Liu Ruyi's head!
"Haha! Hahaha!" Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing loudly, which made Mr. Fang feel a little hairy!
"Hmph! Why are you laughing? If you repent now and kowtow to Fang and Mr. Wang to apologize, maybe Fang can point out a clear path for you because of your meritorious service in fighting the Qing army, otherwise..."
Before Mr. Fang finished speaking, Liu Ruyi interrupted him rudely!
"Master Fang, you must first understand one thing! This is Jinan City, not your hometown Huaibei! I, Liu Ruyi, take over the defense of Jinan City! Anyone who threatens the safety of the people of Jinan City, I have the right to inspect.
Search! Now, Mr. Wang is suspected of colluding with the Manchu Tatars, so I will investigate and deal with it strictly!"
'What a joke, Mr. Fang is just a civil servant and has never been an official. Now you want to use your background to put me down. Isn't it too naive?'
