As soon as Liu Zhang came in, he saw that several tables had been carried into the empty space of the workshop, and chairs were also filled. The newly opened cross workshop was originally empty, but now it looked like a wedding banquet for a wealthy family.
Seeing Liu Zhang entering, the disciples of the family immediately stood up with surprise and excitement on their faces. Yin Bai showed them a proud smile, meaning, look, I said I can invite Mr. Zhou Mu.
Liu Zhang pressed his hand, and the children of the family sat down and continued playing.
Liu Zhang sat down at an empty seat, and the two young masters also sat down. Yin Bai brought a pair of mahjong, and the splotchy white master said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou Mu, these used tables, chairs, stools and mahjong are all for us."
I bought it. If my family opens a gambling house, they will definitely introduce these new gadgets."
These young people are originally at the age where they love to play, because young people are not as afraid of anything as old people. After half a day, these young people from aristocratic families have completely left the shadow of Jiangzhou, and they feel that Liu Zhang is not that scary, and he is much more courageous.
.
Yin Bai was playing mahjong while scolding: "Wang Erpao, what are you talking about? Mr. Zhou Mu will care about your family's money? I know what Mr. Zhou Mu means. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou Mu. I will definitely persuade my family when I go back.
The old man and the clan leader, all the businesses that sell goods here, also open assembly line workshops, which not only makes money for themselves, but also promotes the prosperity of Yizhou."
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Most people's minds are in inverse proportion to their bodies, but Young Master Yin is an exception. He knows my intentions very well, but it's not easy to persuade the old patriarchs. I always don't like to tell lies. The land order
It can promote the prosperity and stability of Yizhou, but it does infringe on the interests of your family. Your elders will think that land is the foundation and business is a lowly industry, so you should be mentally prepared."
Yin Bai waved his hand and said: "That's nothing. Since Emperor Xiaowen, business has been no longer a humble industry. If it were not business, could I, Emperor Xiaowu, have the money to conquer the Huns three times? I think this assembly line workshop can earn as much money as possible in a month.
You can make more money than those few pieces of land in a year, so why not do it."
"That's right, that's right." Other young masters also agreed.
A young man at another table said loudly: "Han Feizi of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty said that businessmen are one of the five beetles and the worms of society. I just don't know if the brush, ink, and bamboo slips he used when he wrote these two words were his.
self-made."
"Hahahaha." Others laughed together.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou Mu. Although our dynasty focuses on agriculture, we also understand the role of commerce. Naturally, our family will not shy away from honor and disgrace and comply with state affairs, but..." Yin Bai paused as he spoke, seeming to hesitate, and asked with a request.
He said in a tone of voice: "It's just that Lord Zhou Mu issued a land order. At least he didn't take away our original land, but don't be like Jiangzhou..."
Before Yin Bai finished speaking, the other young masters also fell silent and listened carefully to Liu Zhang's reply.
Liu Zhang touched the cards and said casually: "I can assure you here that as long as you don't rebel and don't threaten the Mufu with the power of the family, I will never infringe on your property at all. On the contrary, as Yizhou becomes stronger
, I will also turn you into the richest wealthy family in the Han Dynasty."
"Oh~~" Liu Zhang's words not only relieved everyone's worries, but also reminded them of the richest wealthy family. What a tempting target it is. The wealthy families in Yizhou are not as good as Jingzhou in terms of financial resources and inferior to Jiangdong in terms of power. Compared with the wealthy families in the north, they are even more
Even though their financial resources and influence were inferior, these young people were suddenly lifted to the height of wealth, which made these young people feel energetic.
The young people saw that Liu Zhang was very talkative and started chatting with him one after another. Since he was sitting in a row and did not look aloof, after playing mahjong for a few rounds, some of the bolder people who knew him began to treat Liu Zhang as a friend.
A fat and silly-looking young man in purple at the next table said to Liu Zhang while playing his cards: "Master Zhou Mu, you don't know, right? The Liao family and the other two aristocratic families have moved away, and before leaving, they encouraged us to do the same.
Moving away..."
A young man watching next to him immediately pinched the fat man. The aristocratic clan has its own unspoken rules. No matter what the position of the clan is, it will never suppress the other party for the government. This is also one of the secrets that the clan can pass down.
The fat man paused leisurely, feeling nervous for a while, but Liu Zhang smiled lightly and said: "Just move away. I have to retaliate a long time ago. One day I will make these people regret their actions today, but it depends on you.
As long as you all live better than those who moved away from now on, those people will regret it in their hearts, don’t you think?"
Everyone immediately relaxed and laughed together. Yin Bai said loudly: "Master Zhou Mu said well, the Yin family will certainly live up to expectations."
"Count us in the Zhong family."
"And our Zeng family..."
Liu Zhang listened to the chattering of these energetic young people and smiled lightly. These people cannot represent the leaders of each clan, but they can at least prove that the mental arithmetic of the younger generation of the clan has been taken back. Next time, the four
Not all candidates for the imperial examination will be from poor families.
Outside the window, Huang Yue looked at Liu Zhang who was living harmoniously with the princes inside. He slowly turned around, mounted his horse and galloped into the darkness.
Fazheng and Wang Lei were sitting at opposite corners of the workshop door, bored. One of them was more old-fashioned and the other didn't like the excitement, so they had no choice but to stay here.
At this time, when he saw Huang Yue riding away, Fazheng said to Wang Lei, "Did you see that? I think this girl is the best candidate for my lord to continue his marriage."
"Why?" Wang Lei asked puzzledly.
"The daughter of the family, Huang Quan's sister, is gentle, considerate, and knowledgeable. If my lord marries her, it will not only help stabilize the family, but also have a stable rear. We should do our best to make this happen."
Fazheng did not expect that his lord had so many fantastic ideas. Things went much smoother than he imagined. The power of the clan was not as difficult to overcome as he imagined. However, he knew that the young masters inside could not represent the elders of all clans. If the lord
Marrying Huang Yue again will definitely give Chengdu wealthy families a reassurance.
"What about Miss Xiao?" Wang Lei asked.
Fazheng sighed and said: "She is a good girl, but she can never be the official wife of the Lord. Her words and deeds are shameless, and she is a barbarian. Just like today, she left the ceremony without authorization. What bad things would happen if she were the official wife of the principal?
Such a woman will bring a lot of trouble to the Lord, and even bring about big disasters. She is forced to be a concubine, no matter how she is a real wife."
Wang Lei thought for a while and nodded slowly.
Huang Quan's Mansion. The Huang family is a noble family in northern Shu and has a great business. However, the mansion Huang Quan bought was very shabby and there were not many servants. Huang Quan was in charge of all the people's livelihood in Yizhou and had many things to do. He returned after the ceremony to worship the heaven.
Arrive at the mansion.
In the dead of night, Huang Quan lit up the lamp alone to sort out the articles. Suddenly he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves outside, and then saw Huang Yue quickly entering the room.
"Why, has your lord finished visiting the workshop with the children of the aristocratic families?"
"It's over."
Huang Yue stopped and murmured two words, still panting. Huang Quan was very puzzled. His sister had obviously come back on horseback, so why was she still panting from exhaustion?
