Yongyang City is located in Chuzhou Prefecture, with a population of 15,000, twice that of Quyang County and more than three times that of Binjiang County.

After leaving the state yamen, walk south across a street and arrive at Yaqian Street.

Here, there are many shops, making it the busiest and bustling place in the entire prefecture.

Huo Bao and Huo Bao uncle and nephew walked in the crowd, dazzled.

"Uncle Bao, starting from this rouge shop, to the south of the south of the store, the five shops are all ours... The first four shops were rented out before, and they operated this Nanfu shop themselves... These shops are the industries that were beheaded by the state, and the third master and the others entered the city and confiscated them..."

As soon as he spoke, the uncle and nephew walked to the Nanhuo Shop.

The guy in front of the door recognized Huo Bao and hurriedly went inside: "You are here, the shopkeeper has been waiting for it for a long time..."

The shopkeeper also came out when he heard the movement. When he saw Huo Bao, he was surprised: "Master Bao is here too!"

The shopkeeper was only fifteen or sixteen years old and was one of the first child soldiers. He was a refugee. Because of his previous weak health, he was assigned to the auxiliary army.

He was a literate person. When the child soldiers in Quyang County expanded, he was already the chief of the village.

Huo Bao recognized it and nodded: "Sealing the Counter!"

"Oh, it's just a small one!"

The shopkeeper was very excited.

Master Bao remembers his name, which is enough for half a year to brag about. He is a soldier brought out by Master Bao himself.

Huo Bao did not rush to talk, but looked into the store.

It is said to be a southern goods shop, but it is all covered with walls and Duobao Pavilions. The layout is very elegant, and it looks more like a cultural and antique shop.

Now, the shelves are empty.

Huo Bao smiled and said, "Uncle Bao, our business is good!"

Speaking of this, he felt something was wrong and asked Feng Jian: "Didn't there be five cars of southern goods coming yesterday afternoon, why didn't they be put on it? He hurriedly sent me a message?"

The banknote got the account book and said, "Brother Leopard, I have sold out all the previous inventory... We brought it last time, and all the ones that were put into the warehouse yesterday afternoon... Not only were they sold out in spot stocks, but seven or eight companies paid deposits, and then booked a batch of southern goods, rouge, lacquerware, silk, nanmu box, snail carving, coral..."

Huo Bao was surprised and took the account book and looked carefully: "So much capital? What's the point? Even if you are well-informed and want to please Grandpa No. 5, you don't have to have such a large capital here!"

Huo Bao realized something was wrong.

What is pleasing to buy something?

If the Huo family is doing business with merchants, this can be considered a solution; but the Huo family is not, that would be strange.

After he asked for the account book, he saw that the one who paid the most deposit afterwards was only 3,000 taels, and ordered silk, including the silk, yarn that can be worn now, and many other materials that cannot be worn now.

By chance, a familiar surname.

especially!

You Erjie, is You Sanjie that You?

"Dream of Red Mansions" does not explain what the family of the You sisters were from. They only say that the You family was a declining official family in name, but seeing their sisters being upbringed and unruly and shameless, they really don't look like they were from a serious scholarly family.

Even Mrs. You only knows how to enjoy it. She takes the initiative to give her daughter to Jia Zhen and his son to play with her, which is strange.

The You family style is bad.

Jia Zhen’s wife You had no obvious mistakes. She fell into the book but she had no character.

Whether it is the affair of a father-in-law and daughter-in-law before or the "collection of the father-in-law and son" that he later ignores all his thoughts. How can a serious woman accept this?

The You family’s ancestors were born into a businessman?

Only merchants will have no rules.

Let’s see that the You family ordered other goods in the shop and ten pairs of nanmu boxes.

Nanmu box is expensive. When a wealthy family marrys a daughter, they have a pair of Nanmu box and dowry.

The You family is rich and generous, so they ordered ten pairs in one go.

"Is this You family a big merchant in the city?" Huo Bao looked at Feng Xiang.

"Yes, it's an old family in Chuzhou... I couldn't queue up before, and I just made a flirting with Mr. Tang last month..." Speaking of this, Feng Suan suddenly realized: "The people who come to our shop to buy things are all involved in the prefecture. The people who follow Mr. Jiang Er bought more things, and those who are involved in Mr. Ma Liu and Mr. Lin bought less. The You family has come out this time!"

Huo Bao said: "Uncle Bao, but what's wrong with the You family?"

Huo Bao nodded: "This is a brave man, I want to use us as a gun!"

Huo Bao was furious: "Is this relying on Mr. Tang's power? Is it bullying our family?"

Huo Bao glared at Huo Bao: "Where did you get so angry? I remember everything I told you yesterday? But a merchant who was attached to him was just getting lost for a moment. Don't pull him on Mr. Tang!"

Huo Bao was still angry, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Feng Suan's eyes lit up: "Bao Ye is really conscious, but that's not the case! You family made a fortune by opening a wine shop. Because the store was narrow, he wanted to expand the store in his early years, so he negotiated with the other party next door to transfer the property, but was intercepted by the Zhang family... Zhang family opened a silk shop, and their in-laws, Li family was a wooden shop..."

Huo Bao looked at Feng Suan carefully: "Are you a child of a businessman?"

Feng Suan nodded, feeling a little sad: "The youngest one is a merchant. The cloth shop is opened at home. My father is kind-hearted. Once, he helped the Sichuan merchants who were in trouble. They got the supply of Shu brocade and offended their colleagues... They were dragged to bet by someone, defeated the family business, and sold us mother and son... My mother asked me to hide and jumped into the river by myself..." At the end of his speech, she was already in tears.

Huo Bao was stunned when he heard this: "Don't this... Everyone says 'harmony makes money'? Why do people do this business and do things to the death?"

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield!" Huo Baodao.

Huo Bao regretted it a little: "Uncle Bao, has my nephew caused trouble? My nephew thought not to suffer losses last time, so he asked these shops... Unexpectedly, people took advantage of the loophole..."

All these bullshit things have come to you.

How many big things are waiting, who is patiently worried about this?

"Everything has its pros and cons... It's just that we make quick money, there is no need to be a bad person's industry..."

Speaking of this, Huo Bao explained to Feng Suan: "Go back and return all the deposits of each company, set rules, and do not accept reservations..."

Feng Xiang bowed and replied.

Huo Bao said to Huo Bao again: "Don't buy goods next time if there are shops in the city that have shops in the city... I'll go find Uncle Qi, and his foreign goods shop in Jinling is closed in a hurry, so I can't say that there is still inventory in the warehouse..."

"Yeah, yeah!" Huo Bao's eyes lit up. This Qiye is a maritime merchant. Even if the inventory is gone, the purchase route will be there.

Feng Suan said: "Master Bao, Brother Bao, Zhang family also came here yesterday. I would like to ask if we can go to Jinling to sell goods with our grain transport team..."

The business roads were cut off in March, and many shops were at the time of inventory. The shops on the street that had closed doors and closed, and it was urgent to purchase goods.

Huo Bao looked at his cousin.

Huo Bao said: "You made the deal, you decide it yourself."

"Then we should do it? But we can't let them get free. We still have to think about how to charge on the way." Huo Bao said with a quick hand.

Huo Bao was kind-hearted and took the initiative to take the initiative to take a step back and not compete with these merchants for profit. He had to make a good fortune here.

Huo Bao looked at Feng Suan again and said, "Are you from Hezhou?"

Zhen Shiyin lost his daughter and joined his father-in-law with his wife Feng, and went to Yamato Prefecture.

I don’t know if what I’m talking about is Hezhou next to Chuzhou.

Feng Suan said in surprise: "That's right."

Huo Bao had no intention of explaining and came out of the shop.

...

Huo Bao was so curious: "How come Uncle Bao knows the foundation of this kid? But what's wrong?"

"No, it just listens to the accent that smells over there!" Huo Bao said.

This Fengsuan is clever, but his background also limits his vision and development.

It seems that he was frightened by the ups and downs of the business world and did not let his children and grandchildren do business again. After the leaves returned to their roots, they would farm and study and pass on their family.

But he was incompetent in educating his children and asked for money after raising them. Feng Su came shamelessly and cheated Zhen Shiyin and the Feng couple.

Next to Jinling, the surnames in Dream of Red Mansions appear one after another.

Huo Bao was a little excited.

When everyone looks at the Red Mansion, some people "held Dai and defame Chai", while others "held Dai and defame Chai", but Huo Bao feels "beautiful".

The two heroines created by Cao Dada have their own charm.

Xue Biao has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, just like a brocade full of gem rings, and a nouveau riche. Now that she has changed to Shanghai green and hangs Buddhist beads, her eyebrows and eyes are less calculating, which is really a bit out of the world.

Xue Biao's son is still unknown. His daughter, Jin Jie'er, is six years old, but her eyes are quite good.

When Huo Bao thought of this, he inexplicably remembered his experiences in Xianhe Street, Jinling.

Those young men and girls who were tied up were all Xue Biao's sons and adopted daughters.

There is also Xiaoxing, the former prefect of Jinling, who is said to be Xue Biao's sister, but in fact Xue Biao's adopted sister.

Merchants, when training such women, specialize in "sexual supply".

A woman who has been specially trained has his own way of serving men, and is innocent than a fair woman. When she is sent to the inner house, she will be fascinated by the prefect, and ordinary men cannot resist it.

Almost neglected!

Before, Huo Bao did not take the women who entered the state yamen seriously, but only regarded it as gentry who took the opportunity to please the Baishan Army.

Now it seems that we still need to distinguish it carefully.

If someone behind the scenes has no kindness and uses the "beauty trick" to provoke relationships among the crowd, wouldn't it be a boat capsized in the ditch?

Not to mention others, just Tang Guang, it is not surprising that he will be hooked up to do what he will do next for his concubine.

It is ridiculous to use the excuse of "begging for a child" to use the You family's daughter to beg for a child.

Huo Bao had a bad impression of the You family, but when he thought of Tang Guang being involved, he was even more concerned about the You family.

He was muttering in his heart, and there was a movement on his head, and a white shadow fell down in front of him, and he quickly turned sideways to avoid it.

"Ah!" With the scream, a small figure fell to the ground.

Huo Bao turned cold and looked up. He hung the rope on the second floor of the street. Did this person climb down the rope and accidentally let his hand off?

Huo Bao stood in front of his cousin, glaring at the figure lying on the ground, his face not looking good.

If this hit Uncle Bao...

Even if the oily skin is broken, it won’t work!

Pedestrians on the road heard the movement and surrounded them.

"What's going on?"

"Has you bumped into someone?"

"Why is this little lady lying down?"

A Confucian scholar was merciful and dissatisfied with the appearance of the uncle and nephew of the Huo family, and said righteously: "The sky is blue and white, why are you bullying the little lady?"

Huo Bao said angrily: "Where is the sourness coming from? I was blinded and sprayed with feces on my mouth! It was clearly this guy who fell from above and almost smashed people. Why are we innocent passers-by burdened? "

He spoke eloquently and spoke clearly.

There is also the hanging rope as evidence, and there are fewer people who suspect that the uncle and nephew are suspected.

"This really hits people, it's amazing!"

"Yes, Zhao Er's father in the back street was smashed by something and he was paralyzed!"

Huo Bao's eyes turned black when he heard this, and he was very afraid. He looked at the man on the ground even more unkind.

The talkative Confucian physiognomy was in a bad state and ran away.

Huo Bao looked at the shop where the rope was located, took off the cover, and closed down, but he couldn't see any business.
Chapter completed!
