Chapter 622: Prosperity

After coming out of the main courtyard, Lu Zhiyuan felt that he could not go on like this.

Originally, the husband and wife did not contribute much to the family, and the wife repeatedly ruined the image of the big house and consumed everyone's affection.

On the way back, he had already made up his mind.

As for what his father just said, asking him to work harder and give Tian another child, Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to.

Tian's current situation is probably due to the fact that she gave birth to her eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter. What if there is another one and she gets worse?

After Lu Zhiyuan returned to their courtyard, he first asked his mother-in-law to go back to the guest room.

Mrs. Tian saw that her son-in-law looked wrong, and looked at the two of them worriedly before going out.

When Mrs. Tian saw her husband coming back with a bad look on his face, she felt guilty at first. Later, when she saw him inviting his mother out, she immediately shouted with anger and anger, "What do you mean? Are you showing off to me as soon as you come back? I'm not feeling well and I can't have a good rest." After a break, you have to go to bed, right?"

Lu Zhiyuan did not argue with her, but looked at her steadily, with an extremely serious look on his face, "How did you become like this?"

"What am I-"

Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to quarrel with her, so he didn't wait for her to finish speaking and said, "I'll clean up later and go back to Tian's house."

Hearing this, Tian looked at him in horror, "Lu Zhiyuan, what do you mean?"

Lu Zhiyuan: "I'm tired, and my parents are tired too."

In the past, he always talked about it, broke it down and talked about it, coaxed her, let her go, and was reluctant to talk about it seriously, saying that it would calm down for a while, but after a while he would return to his old ways, and he was tired.

He thought about it seriously and felt that his wife was so unscrupulous just because there was no cost to her.

He was serious. Realizing this, Tian felt a little panicked, "Just because of this little thing——"

"Don't make a fuss or make a fuss! It won't be good for you or me if you make a fuss. You don't care about me or yourself, but you have to think about your son and daughter, right?"

Mrs. Tian said loudly, "Why are you sending me back to my parents' home? Why don't you allow me to have any objections?"

Lu Zhiyuan ignored her words and said, "Even if you start making trouble, my decision just now will not change. If you don't mind holding back your son and daughter, then continue making trouble."

One word made Tian stop.

Not long after, Lu Zhiyuan personally sent his mother-in-law and wife to Tian's house.

Later, Butler Chen went to the upper room to report the matter.

Lu Desheng: "It should have been done long ago."

As a father-in-law, Lu Desheng cannot directly teach his daughter-in-law. He was quite satisfied with his eldest son's handling this time. His eldest daughter-in-law couldn't understand it, but there was always someone in her family who understood!

"Don't worry about this. Why are you worrying so much?" Lu Desheng didn't want his wife to worry too much about her eldest son and daughter-in-law. The little girl is so promising and has created such good retirement conditions for the two elders. She is not meant to be ruined by others.

Ms. Jiang sighed, "It's up to you."

She used to think that family scandals should not be made public. Tian was the eldest daughter-in-law, so giving her face was also for the sake of her grandchildren.

Precisely because they were worried about Lu Xiao and Lu Dan, the family was timid in dealing with the Tian family.

For the people of the Tian family, Tian’s mother went to the Lu Mansion to visit the Tian family, and when she came back, it was Lu Zhiyuan who sent mother and daughter back together!

After Lu Zhiyuan sent the people there, he left.

Tian Qinglai first called his wife into the house, and then talked with his daughter.

In the evening, Tian's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mo, learned about the situation from her husband and didn't know what to say.

Are you saying that she is a sister-in-law who is blessed with many blessings but does not know how to be blessed?

The Lu family is kind enough.

She really thought that the Lu family couldn't move on without her, right? There is also a brother-in-law. Believe it or not, they are divorced and a lot of people are rushing to marry him?

"Ms.-in-law, you and your father-in-law must clearly explain your interests to your sister-in-law." She didn't expect her mother-in-law, who couldn't explain clearly.

Tian Kui solemnly agreed.

Jiang told Lu Songli about this the next day.

Lu Songli didn't want to care about these things. In later generations, relationships broke down and divorces abounded, but she still expressed her stance, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

Jiang: "Don't interfere in this matter."

"Okay, if you need something, call me."

…

After the peace talks in Juyang, Dali's ban on blockading Pingzhou was lifted, and Pingzhou's commercial activities were extremely prosperous.

As long as businessmen from Pingzhou can participate in the Pingzhou Chamber of Commerce, the leader is Gu Huaisheng.

On this day, the upper and lower floors of Changli Restaurant were booked by the Pingzhou Chamber of Commerce. In addition to Pingzhou businessmen, the participants also included businessmen from all over Dali who came to Pingzhou to do business.

Big businessmen from Pingzhou like Lan Bingcheng and Geng Yuan arrived early.

Lin Shan is also here. On such an occasion, their Caobang will be needed. This is also the day when their Caobang will be weak when accepting orders.

Lin Shan is very active in his work now. He has no choice but to let the traitors take away 30 to 40% of their property from the Cao Gang. They have to save money to build a ship quickly.

Everyone at the meeting was smiling, chatting in small groups and exchanging information.

This time, most of them made money from Pingzhou's salt dumping activities in Dali, so they were willing to pay for the flowing water banquet last time.

Now Geng Yuan likes to work behind the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. Whether it is the salt dumping led by Pingzhou or the previous grain war in Nanyang, if they participate in such large-scale events, they will basically make a sure profit.

Equivalent to head merchants eating meat, they drink soup. The original head chamber of commerce was only the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and then there was the Ji Bank, and now the Gu family has been added, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger.

Geng Yuan and Lan Chengcheng were pulled into a box on the third floor by someone they knew.

There were only seven or eight people in the box, all of whom we usually interacted with. Now everyone gathered together to talk about business.

When it comes to salt, a businessman from Wan Rendong mentioned one thing.

Their family received vague news that someone was buying official salt from ordinary people for 1,670 yuan.

Whether these salts are sold to Dali or... they are always profitable.

"Well, this is equivalent to the wool of Xiaping Prefecture."

As Dali's ban on blocking Pingzhou was lifted, a large number of Pingzhou businessmen went to Dali to do business. Things in Pingzhou are easy to sell, but who would care about the money?

The people in the box looked at me and I looked at you. They were not sure about the governor's attitude and whether he could do this.

At this time, Tian Qinglai and his friends happened to go up to the third floor.

Wan Rendong glanced at him and smiled, "Actually, it's not impossible. We can't touch it, but some people can. The most important thing is that the governor didn't explicitly prohibit it."

The other party is eyeing the Tian family, and Wan Rendong's unfinished words are to test the governor's bottom line.

Lan Bingcheng said, "It's not necessary. Now that Dali's ban on blocking Pingzhou has been lifted, business is easy to do."

Geng Yuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, let's not touch this. If we take action, this will certainly test the governor's bottom line, but who knows whether the whole story will be discovered by the Yamen people? We are not Did you make someone’s wedding dress?”

Others are also not interested. They have received eighty coppers per pound of official salt, and the goods can be purchased for one hundred, sixty or seventy coppers, which is not attractive to them.

Those of them who have participated in the salt dumping plan still have some salt in their hands...

Now the governor has issued an order not to allow them to sell salt at low prices to Dali.

Therefore, collecting salt from the common people and earning the price difference is not very attractive business.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wan Rendong quickly said, "The two brothers are right. It's the younger brother who got blinded by the money and thought differently."

"It's easy to talk about." Geng Yuan smiled, but thought in his heart that this little old man seemed to have close contacts with businessmen from Dali recently, and he would have to remind the head of the Gu family later.

Wan Rendong punished himself with a drink, and then said, "I really envy all the brothers for their prosperous business. I also panicked because I had some money in my hand and wanted to invest it to make a little money."

"My younger brother is also interested in a business. How about all the brothers present here helping me with my advice?"

"Then tell me."

"The donkey breeding industry in Zhuozhou has become very prosperous because of the governor's move. I want to get involved and set up a breeding farm in my hometown of Xuantu County to raise donkeys. What do you think?"

"Not very good."

"You can't get orders from the military department."

"Isn't this just a matter of a word from the governor? Has anyone tried it?"

"Hey, Zhuozhou's donkey meat tastes good when grilled. That's because the local donkey meat has unique quality. The governor listed it as military food for General Qin Sheng. Can the donkeys you raise in Xuantu County be the same as those in Zhuozhou? ?”

"It's different, right? So don't think about it."

As soon as Geng Yuan and Lan Bingrong said a few words, someone came looking for him, and the person looking for him was also an acquaintance.

"Old Geng, I heard that you have a batch of goods to be shipped to Jincheng?"

"Yes, I have a batch of goods going to Jincheng. I have booked two ships with Caobang and will set sail in the next two days."

"Is there any room on the ship?"

"The cargo ship is still half empty. What's wrong, Lao Li, do you want to share the ship with me?"

"It's not me, it's a client of mine, and I'm looking for a boat for him."

When Qi Shaoguang saw Shopkeeper Li, he solved the delivery problem for him in a few moments, and then he was introduced by Shopkeeper Li.

"This is my client, Qi Shaoguang, Jin Shang. This is shopkeeper Geng Yuangeng..."

Qi Shaoguang has been admiring Pingzhou for a long time. That year, Jinduan was attacked by Xie Zhan, the governor of Lingnan, and the Qi family's property suddenly shrunk by 80 to 90%. In order to vent his anger, he went to Chang'an to report to the police according to the plan of Ji Guangkuan, the manager of Ji's bank. Imperial status. In the next two or three years, he gradually learned that the noble person Ji Guangkuan was talking about was Lu Songli, the governor of Pingzhou. He had always wanted to come to Pingzhou, but he had never found the opportunity until this time.

The two parties had just exchanged a few words when they were pulled by the intermediary to the side occupied by the Caobang on the first floor, ready to confirm the boat ride.

Lin Shan and his subordinates were extremely busy.

The merchants in Pingzhou not only have to transport goods to sell in Dali, but also the money they get from the sales and the materials exchanged back are immediately transported back to the Pingzhou base camp.

Pingzhou businessmen all have a consensus that their important assets must be returned to the Pingzhou base camp. Who knows when Dali will turn against him again?

These are all the jobs of the Caobang.

In fact, in addition to the businessmen from Pingzhou who are active in Dali, the Yangwei Escort Agency is also doing a prosperous business.

There is no way, Dali is not like Pingzhou. Pingzhou has long eliminated the banditry in the territory. There are still many bandits in Dali. It is normal to hire bodyguards to protect yourself, right?

Shopkeeper Li helped Qi Shaoguang negotiate the whole process and solved all the problems. He had to lament Pingzhou's vitality and speed.

Some merchants from Dali also went to Pingzhou to do business and transported goods to Pingzhou to sell. Goods that were not available in Pingzhou were easier to sell. There were also goods that were available locally in Pingzhou, but the merchants from Dali could not sell them at all, and in the end they could only cry. A loss-making sale.

But without exception, the money from selling goods was finally spent in Pingzhou, all for purchasing goods.

There was no way, Pingzhou had too many good things and the service was too good.

These days, what he heard most was:

"Too expensive? Then I'll give you some as a gift."

"Too many goods, too much trouble? Then can we deliver them to your door?"

"Any other questions? Tell me and I'll solve them for you!"

Shopkeeper Li finally said to Qi Shaoguang, "Happy cooperation, come to Pingzhou next time you come."

Qi Shaoguang gave him a thumbs up, "You Pingzhou merchants are so good at doing business."

"So-so." Shopkeeper Li smiled with his teeth showing. What a joke, Pingzhou can only be spent in Pingzhou. If these Dali merchants can take away the white silver, they are incompetent.
