Deacon Li on the side was making tea for Zhao Bancheng, while Zhao Bancheng was thinking with his brows and worrying about his boss. Deacon Li asked carefully: "My boss, do you miss the young master at home?"
As expected, Zhao Bancheng's many years of good deeds had an effect. He finally had a son, the second to last concubine, and she suddenly became the Zhao family's treasure.
However, this time I came to Jiangxia to visit my daughter and grandson. The newborn was too young to adapt to the long journey and did not come. This made Zhao Ying'er complain to him several times.
Brother, she hasn't masked her face yet.
Deacon Li was also deeply moved by the fact that his employer had a son. This was a common problem among people in the Han Dynasty, so he thought it was his employer's old age who had a son, so he couldn't help but miss the child.
Deacon Li's voice interrupted Zhao Bancheng's thoughts. He came back to his senses, smiled with a sigh, shook his head and said, "No! I was thinking about Ying'er's newly born child."
Speaking of Zhao Ying'er's own son, he is only a few months younger than her brother.
"I think the most proud thing in my life, Zhao Bancheng, is not that I went south to Moling, Jiangdong alone, started from scratch, and created the reputation of Moling Bancheng, but that my son-in-law Zhu Kui hit the mark. I have long seen that he is wrong.
It's something in the pond. Look, it has become a dragon in just a few years."
Zhao Bancheng was born as a businessman, and the businessman's vision was the most vicious. Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo rebelled against the imperial court, and his son-in-law trained troops and stationed in Moling, Jiangxia. He even raised the banner of the Young Emperor and the Son of Heaven, and defeated Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, making him the leader within a few years.
If he can't do it again, the entire northwest defense can be freed up. He sees all this, and why he came here is a fable that he knows even without saying it.
He believed that this rare land in Jiangxia was by no means the ambition of his son-in-law. He would continue to expand, create princes, and crack the soil. He could also look forward to it. Now Zhu Kui, who was only in his twenties, already had three sons. The eldest son and the second son are twins.
, with Gao Shuer, the third son Zhu Yong is his grandson. Zhu Kui once admitted in front of him that Zhao Ying'er was an equal wife. In other words, his grandson Zhu Yong is also among the legitimate sons and will have the opportunity to inherit in the future.
Everything about Zhu Kui.
Regarding this, for the future of his grandson, and more importantly for his newly born son, to put it bluntly, it is to make the Zhao family richer and more prosperous. The Zhao family has become Zhu Kui's in-laws, and he cannot help but feel that he does not have many connections and interests in it.
Think, don’t think too much.
Zhao Bancheng sighed: "In the past few days, walking around Jiangxia, I saw that among the soldiers and horses on the city wall resisting Liu Biao's invasion, those water bandits who used to be the Gaojia Water Village have followed Zhu Kui in the Yellow Turbans for many years.
In Xiliang and Xiliang, almost all of them now have hundreds of people, thousands of people, and even tooth generals."
"Mr. Li, you have been with me for the longest time! I will tell you the truth." Zhao Bancheng raised his eyes and looked at him, his expression unchanged, and said: "My son-in-law's ability and ambition are probably extraordinary. In the past, I
Zan Ta Fei Chi
The thing in the middle is because I was blind. He should be a dragon hidden in the abyss. It will soar into the sky and fly to the nine heavens. It is beyond the imagination of us mortals. In the future, my grandson will also have the blessing of a dragon's son, so
Do you think you understand?"
Zhao Bancheng spoke his true feelings to his old servant with great trust.
"Master, what do you mean?" Deacon Li didn't dare to continue. He realized from Zhao Bancheng's words that he had never dared to think about this idea. After this reminder, when he thought about it carefully, Lin'an
The emperor in the palace suddenly looked a little horrified and murmured back.
"Master Marquis, you are indeed a dragon in this world, my master is really wise!" He complimented Zhao Bancheng a lot, and then asked: "My master sighs, but is it because of Mr. Yong?"
Mr. Yong, that is, Zhu Yong, Zhao Bancheng nodded, slowly leaned down, kicked his waist, and the rocking chair slowly started to rock. He lightly patted the side of the chair with his hands and said: "Yong'er is also the legitimate son, but Kui
There can only be one heir to my son. For the sake of the future, many things will change.
We must come early to prepare for a rainy day. For Kui'er, our Zhao family can only support him financially. Some shops can be used as his sentinels. There is no place to help him. Apart from that, there is no other aspect.
It’s time to rush to Yong’er’s rescue.”….
"What does this mean for Kui'er, who is becoming more and more powerful in the officialdom? You should know that without the support of your mother and relatives, how can you compete with the two brothers Zhu Hong and Zhu Wu?"
After hearing this, Deacon Li was speechless. What Zhao Bancheng said is true, but the Zhao family is just a merchant's home, so what can they do? For a political power, there are three important aspects: military, political, and financial.
Fulcrum, the Zhao family has a little say in the financial resources behind Zhu Kui. They have cooperated with Wang Zhong and Wang Qian for many years. Even though Wang Zhong came from the Gao family water village, they have been separated for many years and their feelings have long been weak. It is not as good as
The relationship with him, Zhao Bancheng, became closer.
Suddenly, Deacon Li had an idea, thought of something, and said: "My boss, do you still remember that a few days ago, two brothers from my family came to my hometown in the north? You always care about family ties, and you also arranged
They went to restaurants in Liyang County and Hushu County to work as butlers and help with business."
Zhao Bancheng nodded and thought about it, but he didn't understand the meaning of Deacon Li's words. He said with some memories: "When I left home, there were not many of them. I added insult to injury. Considering the feelings of the same clan, I was willing to cooperate with him."
I said goodbye. It was because of their friendship that I recognized each other. It seems that they have not been doing well in my family in the past two years. Otherwise, if other people come to join me, I will definitely not care about my nostalgia.
.”
Deacon Li was obviously very familiar with Zhao Bancheng's past. He had been a master and servant for many years, and he spoke more casually. He said: "Back then, my boss was young and had little business experience. He also wanted to make Changshan Zhaojia Village rich and make the village more prosperous."
The life of the Nakamoto family has been improved
Improvement, but too much eagerness and negligence, I just hate the Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan. They have a huge family business, but they are so cunning and untrustworthy.
Zutian paid off his debt, which made his old employer so angry."
"Therefore, the elders in the village called you a prodigal son and the scourge of Zhao Village. In anger, you left home and went south with your wife. My wife worked hard for a long time, contracted the root of the disease, and passed away early. However, these things have passed.
It’s been ten years, it’s time to let it go, after all, it’s your ancestral home, my boss.”
Deacon Li said sadly.
"I know this. It doesn't matter if you drive me out of the village. I will admit it if you don't let me enter the family tree. But every time I think of Ying'er's mother, I can't swallow this breath. I vow to earn a big family business and be independent.
Door, let them see what I, a prodigal son, can do."
"There is also the Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan. I originally thought that no matter how hard I tried, there would be no hope of revenge, but Ying'er's husband finally allowed me to see the light of day again. As long as his great cause succeeds, then I will let him
People from the Zhen family, look at what happened to me when I was young." Zhao Bancheng said angrily, his expression becoming ferocious.
"My boss, I actually heard something from my brother from the Cong family. They were talking about Zhaojiacun, and there was a great young hero among the younger generation." Deacon Li suddenly spit out a piece of news.
"Oh? What on earth are they saying about that amazing junior?" Zhao Bancheng asked with interest. In fact, he only had resentment towards the older generation in Zhaojia Village, not towards the younger generation in the village.
Prejudice, after all, it is his roots, the place where he grew up, and his feelings cannot be erased no matter what.
"The two said that even dozens of young men could not get into him." Deacon Li said, but in fact he didn't really believe this in his heart. He also said: "What kind of gun god, the land of the gun king, just now
After returning from the army, I want to join the army so that I can make great achievements and become a general in the future!"
"Oh!" Zhao Bancheng didn't believe the statement that dozens of young men could not get into the body. In that case, wouldn't this full-strength shot from behind be comparable to usual? Zhao Bancheng knew Wang Cheng's martial arts. He weighed it.
Afraid
It should be one of the best in the world, Zhao Bancheng thought to himself: "Zhaojiacun is just a small place in Changshan. With little knowledge, it is inevitable that the abilities of this younger generation will be exaggerated. This is understandable. Not everyone is like this.
"….
"However, Zhao Xing and Zhao Da, who are so respected, must be warriors with certain martial arts. If his martial arts can be as good as that of General Guan Hai, more than ten people can't get close, and he will charge with all his strength to kill dozens of people.
But Yu Xue, if you have this ability, I will risk my old face and let Li Bao lead an army alone in front of Kui'er."
Zhao Bancheng also had no choice but to make good friends with the general in the army, but he should not go too far in getting acquainted with money, otherwise it would cause Zhu Kui's displeasure.
Zhu Kui valued business. Only a few merchants in his family were with him. In order to make Zhu Kui more trustworthy, they spared no effort in providing financial support. These were the things that Zhu Kui was able to achieve in a short period of time in military and civil affairs.
A guarantee of great development.
In the military, they need to fight together. After symbiosis and death, the friendship can be considered close and can be used as a party and one of our own. However, Zhao Bancheng obviously does not have such connections and channels. He cannot build relationships with money, so there is nothing he can do.
.
Zhou Tai and Gan Ning, who Gao Shuer grew up with, were not only Zhu Kui's sworn brothers, but they were also in charge of a large army and had life-and-death friendships with Guan Hai, Wang Cheng, Zhou Cang and others. I am afraid they were already Gao Shuer's full support.
or.
The more Zhao Bancheng thought about it, the more he realized that he needed to plan ahead. In a regime, the support of the military has far higher stakes than financial resources and political parties. He thought that no matter whether the news about this family member was true or false, there was always hope, so he
He told Deacon Li: "Mr. Li, you go back to Jiangdong first and take my
I mean, let Zhao Xing and Zhao Da go back with you. You can see for yourself how capable that junior is. If he can be as good as the two generals Guan Hai or Zhou Cang, then take my advice to the village elder.
, I, Zhao Bancheng, will ensure that you become a general of one side, and that you will become more prosperous than those who joined the army and started from a small soldier."
"Yes, my boss!" Deacon Li agreed with Zhao Bancheng's decision, and at the same time asked: "My boss, do you have other things to stay in Jiangxia?"
"Not bad!" Zhao Bancheng propped himself up on the edge of the chair and stood up. He exuded a tough and unyielding attitude that made Deacon Li think of the young Zhao Bancheng back then.
confidence.
"This time Kui'er brought back more than 20 large businessmen from Luoyang. These people came from Kyoto. Although most of their property was lost, their connections are still all over the Han Dynasty, and their business wisdom is still there. This is endless wealth.
, now living in Jiangxia, just in time for
It's a good time for Zhao's Trading Company to form an alliance with it, so that the trading bank can expand again and come in. Kuier's financial resources are even more important, and he will have more say in the future. You must know when any foundation will leave.
There is no such thing as money."
Anyway, Zhu Kui has not yet decided on the successor, and the third son is still young, so the dispute among the disciples will have to wait for another day, which gives Zhao Bancheng more time to plan.
