Chapter 187 The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.
It is said that Zhu Batai is a legendary figure in Caizhou. He has so many stories in his life that any one of them can make people mesmerized.
But what makes a person truly memorable and unforgettable must be the things he has done that make people praise and cry, and the things that make people cry with gratitude! Mr. Zhu Ba has saved too many lives and helped too many people.
.He tries his best to help wherever he can. Therefore, his friends can be said to be all over the world.
The tea shop owner was introducing the deeds of Mr. Zhu Ba to other merchants passing by from other places.
Although Mr. Zhu Ba's martial arts is not high, he has many friends with high martial arts, too many.
What’s interesting is that when those friends with high martial arts skills met him, not only were their martial arts skills not high, they were even lower than him! Maybe it was because most of his friends were younger than him at that time. But later on, each of these people’s martial arts skills became higher than the last one!
Some people have even become peerless masters who are powerful in the world! And no matter how advanced these people are in martial arts, they have never forgotten this old friend! Every year, people will arrive without a gift!
Mr. Zhuba has three sons and four daughters, five grandsons, seven granddaughters, and nine great-grandchildren!
A great family, a great business, and a prosperous family!
In fact, his eightieth birthday was not what he wanted. He was not afraid of spending money, he had plenty of money, but he was afraid of laboring people, disturbing others, and troubling others.
But when his children told him that it would be good to take this opportunity to meet old friends, he obeyed.
After all, we see each other less often, especially as an 80-year-old man, how many times can we get together with friends? Some who are close to each other only meet once a year, and those who are far away even do not see each other for five or eight years.
!
In fact, his children also want to strengthen their personal connections while the old man is still alive. If some of the old man’s relationships can continue, then the Zhu family in Caizhou will always maintain its status as one of the four major families!
The old man has been through many trials and tribulations, how could he not know this?
Let’s leave the last wealth to our children! What a pity to all the parents in the world!
This time in Caizhou, not only the relatives and friends of the Cai family were moved by the news, but also all the celebrities in the city, or to put it crudely, any family that could gain some recognition, wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the Zhu family and their connections!
Therefore, the two Tang families in the East and West City, the Cai family of the notorious fourth young master, and the Qiu family of Guangzhou, as well as others, all gathered at this unknown teahouse in order to get to the Zhu Mansion in advance!
When they saw the two good-for-nothing sons-in-law walking out of the tea shop one after another, the young men led by Mr. Cai suddenly became silent.
They will die and die, but they will never be stupid!
Of those two good-for-nothing sons-in-law, one is clearly the young master of the Chu family and the other is the young master of the Ye family.
The Chu family, the Ye family, the Zhu family, and the Jin family are collectively known as the four major families in Caizhou! They are all powerful families!
In Caizhou, what does it mean to call for wind and rain?
Black and white take it all!
Turning the clouds and raining!
Cover the sky with one hand!
Terrified!
There are many wealthy or powerful families in Caizhou, but they are either rich but not noble, or noble but not rich. They dare to call themselves rich people, members of other families, and wealthy families, but no one dares to call themselves a "big family"!
These are the only four families that are truly powerful, powerful and wealthy!
If a certain family tries to pretend to be the boss, it will definitely be swallowed up by these four families!
The pond is so big that it can’t hold too many fish!
The children of these four major families have become officials, some have joined the army, some have fought in the business world, and of course some have occupied a place in the world. Their influence has penetrated into every corner, like a towering tree, with branches
The leaves are lush and the roots are intertwined!
But their power is ultimately limited to Caizhou and Guangzhou, and there is a gap between them and the four martial arts masters.
Yan Lingxiao was a man who was rampant in Liaodong.
The young Marquis traveled across Hunan, Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi as if he were in a deserted land.
Liancheng dominated Shanxi, Shaanxi and Three Qin Dynasties.
Although Mr. Zhu from Lingnan also had the surname Zhu, he was the co-owner of the three regions of Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian.
How high a person's status is and how great his influence is can sometimes be judged by the "size of the territory he controls." Although the land is all royal land, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the county magistrate is not as good as the current one! What can he really do in peacetime?
The power that affects you is around you!
The Xiao family in the East City and the Xiao family in the West City rarely interacted with each other, but this time they happened to meet at this teahouse because they wanted to celebrate the birthday of Master Zhu Ba. What a fate, not only did they meet here, but their son-in-law also broke off their engagement here at the same time!
Although everyone knew that the two sons-in-law were door-to-door sons-in-law, only if the woman divorced the man, how could the man divorce the woman? This was really unreasonable! The two Xiao families were very angry.
But now who dares to call it true?
Who dares to challenge?
The four major families have law enforcement teams privately! The law enforcement team sounds good, and those who say something bad will have thugs, eagles, dogs, and minions! They will bite whoever the master tells them to bite!
That is the trump card that protects the bottom line of the four major families!
To put it bluntly, whoever embarrasses the four major families will be killed!
Simple, crude and clear.
How dare you claim to be one of the four major families if you don't have a hundred and eighty lives in hand? If you dare to claim that you are one of the four major families, it's natural to kill someone just for fun!
Young Master Cai Si suddenly became mute.
If you want to survive, you have to talk less!
Otherwise, I don’t even know how I died!
Young Master Cai returned to the middle-aged woman angrily, with a face full of fear and uneasiness. Although they had broken off the engagement, they had been a "couple" for several years. Regardless of whether they were in love or not, what should I do if someone pursues his frivolity for the sake of "face"?
?
The middle-aged woman frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. She was speechless for a long time. It depends on how much the "waste son-in-law" misses her old love.
Feng Jiuxiao said to herself: "What gift are you preparing for tomorrow?"
Liu Miezhou said: "The old man wants to hold this banquet just to give his children a chance to pick up his connections. He is definitely not interested in other gifts."
"Take over your own connections? Then give him some connections!"
"Are they worth it?"
"They are actually second. The most important thing is that I am very curious and interested in Mr. Zhu Ba. How can he have friends all over the world? Is he eager for justice and is generous with his wealth?"
"Maybe both. I'm becoming more and more interested in him now!"
Listening to their conversation, Zhu Mansion is located in a mountain valley, known as Hongye Villa. If you want to get to Hongye Villa tomorrow, you have to live in Zhuma Town today. Zhuma Town is the market town closest to Hongye Villa.
.
It doesn't matter if they are all young boys. They can find a tip under a tree or in a broken temple. But who among the people who go to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Zhu Ba is not a respectable person? What if the clothes are dirty on the day of birthday greetings?
If it gets messed up, it will be very embarrassing!
A small town suddenly gathers people from all over the world, and its reception capacity must be limited, which means that some people who arrive late will not be able to find a place to stay!
So everyone discussed it and decided that only Feng Jiuxiao and Liu Mizhou would go to Hongye Villa, while the rest would repair in Caizhou.
Feng Jiuxiao and Liu Miezhou also wasted some time and went directly to Zhuma Town. Only when they arrived at Zhuma Town did they realize that Zhuma Town was much bigger than they thought!
There is an endless stream of foreign merchants coming and going!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It seems that there is some kind of goods in short supply here, otherwise this place would not be so prosperous!"
The car is like running water, and the horse is like a long dragon.
Feng Jiuxiao observed carefully, and there were carriages pulling things out almost all the time. The wheel marks were very deep, and it seemed that the goods were very heavy. Occasionally, some powder fell from the carriage, and Feng Jiuxiao picked up a handful and smelled it when no one was prepared.
After hearing this, he suddenly realized that what the carriage was pulling out was copper ore powder.
Copper mines are no different from gold mountains! All copper coins are made of copper. Whoever controls the copper mines controls the gold mountains!
Feng Jiuxiao squinted her eyes and thought to herself: This is definitely private mining! Who within a hundred miles has such courage? I never thought that Mr. Zhu Ba would be so courageous, it was simply audacious!
Mining the Copper Mountain privately is a capital crime! No wonder the Zhu family is so powerful! No wonder he can make friends with heroes all over the world! After figuring out the key, Feng Jiuxiao felt that it was boring. But now that he had arrived at this place, he could only let nature take its course.
First take a look at Mr. Zhu Ba's demeanor, and then look at the Zhu family's behavior. If it is a routine of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, then give him a warning. If he is a traitor and a loyal person, then don't blame yourself for being rude! A warning will make him
He should hurry up and stop. Private mining of copper mines will definitely affect the lives of the people of Zhou Dynasty! If more copper coins are stolen, things will inevitably depreciate! And having the power to mint money is tantamount to having the ability to rebel!
Being rich and noble unjustly is like a floating cloud to me!
"The Biography of Lienu: The Biography of Qi Tianji's Mother": "The ill-gotten wealth is not mine, and the unfilial son is not my son!"
This is no longer simple ill-gotten gains!
The Zhu family, I’m afraid the people’s hearts are not enough!
