Chapter 297 I want to be the first salt merchant in Ming Dynasty
Logically speaking, the Yang family should have solved the Zhou family, which is an inconspicuous small family, but the Zhou family is too good at finding the right opportunity. They are always at the forefront of the waves and soaring. The original small family will become a wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty in a blink of an eye. More importantly, Zhou Qingli is now the most important person to deal with the "Wei Zhongxian rebellion case"!
The relationship between the Yang family and the Wei Duke's Mansion was unpredictable. Huang Liji and Li Guopu definitely did not dare to exonerate the Yang family easily. The Yang family was already meat on the chopping board!
Yang Hu changed his mind and looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Young Master Zhou, you really make me embarrassed. I want to go back and discuss with them."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Yang slowly discusses, I'm not in a hurry. By the way, I heard that the Jinyiwei had arrived at Yingtian Prefecture and arrested Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War of Southern Zhili. How far is it from Yangzhou?"
Listening to Zhou Zheng’s undisguised threat, Yang Hu sighed and said, “Since Mr. Zhou said that, I can only respond. I wonder what Mr. Zhou has to ask for?”
Zhou Zhengdao: "I will ask Ma Shiying to make adjustments, leaving a total of twelve salt merchants. Anyone who is disobedient will be wiped out this time."
Yang Hu frowned and said, "What does Mr. Zhou want to do?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "I want to open a salt shop."
Yang Huyi immediately understood and said, "Young Master Zhou wants to be the first salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty?"
"So that's it." Zhou Zhengdao.
Yang Hu stopped talking, and he picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
Zhou was about to become the first salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty, so their salt share would be greatly compressed, which would threaten their roots.
When Yang Hu didn't say anything, Zhou Zheng spoke and said, "This year, each of you will invest 1 million to buy the goods from my Weekly Records. In the future, you will pay it in one lump sum in March every year. This year, you will pay it before March."
When Yang Hu looked at Zhou Zheng, his expression disappeared from his previous hypocritical behavior. He put down his teacup and said, "Young Master Zhou, you are too cruel, right? In this way, our sixteen families will be seriously damaged and may be in a slump..."
"Do you have any choice?" Zhou Zheng interrupted him, his tone was cold and firm.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng was acting more and more fiercely and could not allow him to refuse, Yang Hu suddenly looked embarrassed again on his face and said, "Honor Zhou had misunderstood something? I'm here to discuss business with Mr. Zhou, why did this happen?"
Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly and looked at Yang Huyi seriously. What trump card does this person have?
Yang Hu touched his head, smiled with emotion and embarrassment, and said, "Don't be satisfied with Mr. Zhou, Yuan Fu, and Mr. Li, who are familiar with each other, I am also familiar with Jinyiwei. Of course, I am still in business..."
Zhou Zheng stood up straight and said, "It seems that Manager Yang has no sincerity to talk. So, let's talk next time."
As he said that, Zhou Zheng was about to leave. He felt that he had to give the Yang family some more means.
Wei Xizhuang naturally stood up and followed him.
Yang Hu looked at Zhou Zheng's actions until he was about to step out of the threshold and suddenly said, "Young Master Zhou, don't be anxious. I just said that I asked for a lot of prices and paid back the money. Aren't we talking about business?"
Zhou Zheng stood in front of the threshold and said, "Last time, Yang Huzhi was scheming with me. This time, if I stepped up this threshold, the price would not be what I just said."
Yang Huzhi sighed again. Just as he was about to speak, a servant hurried over and whispered in his ear: "Master, Jinzhong wrote that more than a dozen merchants had their homes been searched, including the Fan family."
Yang Hu's eyes changed slightly and he turned to look at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng stood at the door, smiling without saying a word, as if he was an innocent person.
——Two hours ago.
Shanxi, Zhangjiakou.
The Fan family was surrounded by the yamen runners from the local government, and the Jinyi School Captain was commanding.
Fan Yongdou looked calm and calm. He raised his hand to the Qianhu and said, "This Qianhu, I wonder what happened to come to my Fan family?"
The thousand households were more calm than him and said, "Your Fan family was involved in the Wei Zhongxian rebellion case, and the death date was right in front of you. How dare you ask me what's wrong?"
Fan Yongdou's face changed slightly. Their Fan family's business was spread all over the world, so he naturally knew about Wei Zhongxian and said quickly: "Thousand Houses have misunderstood. My Fan family is very strict in abide by the law and never surpasses the slightest. I also asked the Lord Qianhu to observe clearly. If you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Su Zhengxing, the governor of Shanxi."
Seeing that he moved out of Su Zhengxing, the smile on his face disappeared. He took two steps forward, missed his head, and whispered in Fan Yongdou's ear: "It is known to everyone in the world that the Fan family is going to the west. Whether there is a Wei Zhongxian case or not, you will die! You are so happy to let me take it away now. I'm so kind to deal with me. If you play tricks, I promise that you will die extremely ugly!"
Fan Yongdou's body trembled, gritted his teeth, and tried to calm himself down.
The so-called "walking the west entrance", also called "walking the tiger entrance", is to pass through some passes in Jiuguanbian Town, break through the blockade of the Ming Dynasty, and do business with the Mongols. It can be said to be "smuggling", or even "cooperating with the enemy"!
Of course, with the collapse of the Chahar and the rise of Jianlu, the Fan family's trade targets had been transformed into Jianlu people.
If Zhou Zheng was here, he would definitely be able to accurately say that Fan Yongdou had been to Shenyang and had met Huang Taiji!
Fan Yongdou looked at the Qianhu and whispered: "Just say the price."
The Qianhu sneered in his eyes, took two steps back, and said with a normal expression: "Take everyone away and search the house!"
Fan Yongdou raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Slow down!"
Qianhu looked cold, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, and said, "Fan Yongdou, don't toast and not eat the punishment!"
Fan Yongdou raised his hand and said, "Master Qianhu, wait for a moment."
This Qianhu naturally knew that Fan Yongdou was delaying time, so how could he give him this time, and said, "Catch him, no one is allowed to escape!"
The Jinyiwei led the yamen runners and began to catch people frantically and rushed into the Fan Mansion.
Fan Yongdou's eyes widened, gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing.
Fan Yongdou was quickly locked up and stood in the Fan family compound. He looked ugly, his fists were clenched, and he was still praying in his heart, praying that the letter he sent would react and come to save him.
The Fan family's business is spread all over Zhangjiakou and has close ties with officials from all walks of life in Shanxi. Someone will definitely come to save them!
The Fan Mansion is very big, and the house search has been carried out for half an hour, but it is still going on.
Qianhu walked around the Fan family courtyard for half an hour, but before he could finish it, he came to Fan Yongdou and looked at the gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings all over the yard. He was really rich and shocked.
He picked up a gold ingot, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Don't give up?"
Fan Yongdou frowned, looked ugly on his face, and said, "They will appear."
Qianhu shook his head and said, "If I appear here, you should give up. Let me tell you the truth. The court is liquidating the 'reverse party'. There is a separate list of merchants, and your Fan family ranks first."
Fan Yongdou was startled and said, "Why?"
