I feel that the Yu family is really cheating. They have made so many benefits in Xuzhou and Zhaoziying. This statement is still so ambiguous. It seems that they should allocate resources to the Li family again, or find another maritime business to cooperate. Yu Zhiyuan himself

He could also sense this disgust. Although Zhao Jin had not come back when he came, he did not dare to leave and only waited for Zhao Jin to come back and explain.

"Without Brother Yu Xian, where would we find the masters for weaving, spinning and growing cotton? Who transported this loom? Who led the way in selling cotton cloth? This is all the credit of Brother Yu Xian. Everyone should drink water and remember its source." Zhao Jin said in front of everyone.

After saying these words, Yu Zhiyuan shed tears on the spot, and everyone felt relieved.

When they met in private, Zhao Jin made a condition to Yu Zhiyuan very directly: "It's hard to leave our homeland, and our ancestors will blame it. My family is not used to it, but they also want the family to prosper. You are in Songjiang and Xuzhou."

We are too far apart and I can't reach out. If you come to Jiangbei and help me concentrate on my business at sea, I will ensure that your family is prosperous in a year, not just a few years."

It’s hard to leave one’s hometown all over the world. The capital and Nanjing are much better than most places in the world. The officials there have plenty of money and high status. Living in the two capitals is naturally more convenient than returning to their hometown.

It's comfortable, but everyone still has to go back to their hometown after their term is over.

Even after death, they have to be buried in the countryside, not to mention ordinary gentry and common people. Zhao Jin's condition is very sincere, but after thinking about it, Yu Zhiyuan can only solemnly thank you and politely refuse. Of course, this reaction is also

As expected.

"People make different choices when they are full of resentment and when they are prosperous. Songjiang Mansion is the best place in the world. Now that the Yu family has a huge fortune, naturally they are not as willing to gamble as they used to be. But still,

There is no need to be so harsh on Yu Zhiyuan, his Yu family did it for us after all

If many things are tilted in favor of the Li family, wouldn't it be a mistake made in the past and an imbalance? Moreover, the Yu family has a key point. His family business is basically in Songjiang. It is inconvenient for us there, but we can still grit our teeth.

Yes, how can we catch other big gangs once they enter the sea?"

In front of his own people, Zhao Jin's words were very true, but everyone understood one thing. The root of all this was that Zhao Ziying did not have his own fleet, so he was so constrained.

According to last year's practice, when Zhao Jin and the others were attacking and fighting in Qingzhou Prefecture, the Qingjiangpu martial arts competition was about to begin. When Zhao Jin came back, the leader of the martial arts competition should be decided, but it was only after Zhao Jin came back that he learned that the martial arts competition was

The conference was postponed, and the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce proposed to arrange the competition between the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month of next year.

Since I have given the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce this power, I will not interfere. However, the principals of the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce are very cautious about this. When Zhao Jin was away, he came several times to ask for instructions and even arranged for someone to wait here.

, just don’t dare to make decisions on your own.

After Zhao Jin came back, the heads of the Wang family and the Bai family of the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce came to Xuzhou to ask for a meeting and explain their reasons for doing so.

"The rumors about the floods in Xuzhou this year are disturbing. Jining and Qingzhou have caused such troubles again. In the final analysis, everyone feels that Jinye's side has been damaged by the floods. When doing business down there and encountering similar situations, it becomes more and more difficult outside."

The turnover is not working well, the more we need to make a grand show and enjoy the scenery, just to give everyone the appearance that there is no shortage of money. This year's martial arts tournament will also be a grand event to show to everyone in the world that our Xuzhou strength has not been compromised."

"Master Jin, at his age, works hard and does not enjoy pleasure. He is really an outstanding person. But he lives in seclusion and in this time of chaos, it is inevitable that people will be worried and suspicious. I know that Master Jin is not willing to participate in the martial arts competition.

But for the sake of the overall situation of Xuzhou and the prosperity of our Qingjiangpu, we have to invite Mr. Jin to come forward in this martial arts competition and show it to the world..."

Even Wang Zhaojing, Ru Hui, and Zhou Xuezhi who were far away in Qingjiangpu were convinced by these words. The martial arts competition must be organized in a beautiful manner, which can indeed calm people's hearts. However, no one can say whether Zhao Jin will show up. They just have to wait for Zhao Jin to make his own decision.

I didn't want to join in the fun, so I said perfunctorily that I would watch it later.

However, people from the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce were very insistent. There was a vague rumor that it was because the news of the flood in Xuzhou had made the Huai'an government ready to take action and felt that they could do anything to Qingjiang. The wealthy businessmen who had just enjoyed the benefits of autonomy immediately felt uncomfortable.

That's why I wanted to invite the god Zhao Jin to suppress the situation. Perhaps because of this, the people from the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce were very insistent and kept coming. Even the Yangzhou Feng family in the chamber of commerce also participated.

Just when Jining was in chaos, Qingzhou Funan was in turmoil, and Zhao Ziying was suppressing everywhere, the Daiming army on the governor's side began to build camps.

It was started and completed by Zhao Jin when he was suppressing banditry in Qingzhou Prefecture.

"The chaos everywhere is related to Wei Zhongxian. This is definitely true, but are you doing so many things just to cover the mobilization of troops over there? Then why bother with such a big charter?"

"Perhaps the imperial court is really jealous of us in Xuzhou?"

Zhao Jin asked and answered himself. He actually asked two questions, but he immediately denied them one by one.

"There are not many fools among the big shots in the capital. They should have a clear grasp of the sense of propriety shown by Xuzhou. If these things in Jining and Qingzhou Prefecture are just to set up the famous camps, they would be too careful."

"Perhaps they are really so careful. Our Zhao Ziying style is to act vigorously and resolutely and retaliate resolutely."

Neither Zhao Jin himself, nor Wang Zhaojing, Ru Hui and others could make a clear judgment. The merchants in Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou still insisted on inviting Zhao Jin to show up to Qingjiangpu, intending to highlight Zhao Jin's power at the competition.

Majesty, Zhao Ziying's strength and majesty.

It’s not surprising that they are so active, not to mention that Xuzhou’s interests are closely related to them. The newly opened Haizhou Port sea trade involves a large amount of Liaodong specialties and timber, and even trades with Liaodong and North Korea.

Because North No. Li Ziyou submitted to Zhao Jin early, he sent many of his family members. Now his family property has expanded rapidly. He has gone from being ranked among the top 20 wealthy merchants in Qingjiangpu to the top ten. He is also becoming more and more popular in the chamber of commerce.

Has weight.

And this Xuzhou cloth makes everyone's eyes red. There are still many people involved in the sea trade. This cotton cloth business is all over the world and overseas, anyone can do it, and this cotton cloth can also be used as hard currency.

Normally, everyone is greedy for the Songjiang cotton business, but

We can only watch from the outside. Now Xuzhou can actually produce a large amount of cotton cloth. This large amount of cotton cloth can actually start a price war with Songjiang cloth. In just two months, Songjiang can actually bow its head and submit. Such a business

It's a huge source of wealth, so I must fawn over it.

You must know that there are many places in the world that can produce cotton cloth, but the only one that produces large quantities and can be tolerated by the Songjiang Cotton and Cloth Industry is Xuzhou Cloth.

What businessmen value most is making money and money. Xuzhou Zhao Jin not only has force and killing methods, but also has clever ways to make people rich and make money. This makes everyone come together like moths to a flame.

.

The twelfth lunar month is about to enter, and many families in Hejiazhuang have already begun to celebrate the New Year. The New Year atmosphere in Hejiazhuang is particularly good this year, because many elders from various families and wealthy people in the city have moved in. With more people, the festive atmosphere is naturally

Just follow it.

However, Zhao Jin's parents, wife and children have become accustomed to Zhao Jin not being at home to celebrate the New Year, and they are even more accustomed to Zhao Jin not extending his hand during the Chinese New Year, so they can only get used to this.

At this time, both Liu Yong and Lei Cai returned to Xuzhou. According to the original plan, the two of them should have come back a long time ago, or even several times. However, as soon as the troubles in Jining and Qingzhou Prefecture broke out, they have been outside.

Running around to inquire and collect all kinds of information.

Lei Cai brought back the news from the capital. In October, a relative of the Shu family in Beijing was sent to Huguang to work as a right-wing political officer. Although being sent to the capital was derogatory, it was equivalent to a sudden promotion.

According to the rules, you will have another important responsibility after returning to Beijing, which is a rare promotion.

It is said that the colleagues of this official surnamed Shu were quite puzzled, thinking that this person was very mediocre, so why did he suddenly have something good happen from the sky? He was far away in Huguang, and it was inconvenient for Zhao Ziying to inquire about the news, and Zhao Ziying

Ying's relationship with the official circles in the capital was very low, so it was difficult to find out who promoted this person and what the cause and effect was.

If a veteran in the officialdom arranged this promotion, it would be difficult for outsiders to see the cause and effect. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for officials to be appointed to other places in the capital, and not many people would notice it.

As for those who wrote letters to the Jining officials, some were not in the capital, and some were difficult to get close to. This was not intended to hide or avoid people. In a place like the capital, entry and exit were ordinary, and the officials had many eyes and ears.

Be careful, it's not easy to get close to Zhao Ziying.

"Only Wei Zhongxian is capable of such overall planning and deployment, as well as the ability to mobilize the Shandong army. No one else has this ability." This conclusion makes no sense and leaves people helpless.

"Some people say that Wei Zhongxian doesn't know how to read or understand the rules of the palace, and he relies on his viciousness to suppress people. It is possible that Wei Zhongxian entered the palace as an adult, but he has stayed in the palace for decades, and has held key positions.

Fighting down one after another, like this

Even if a character is not very proficient in written rules, there are still people around him to help him with the planning and planning. Even if he is confused, there are think tanks around him to help analyze and make decisions, not to mention that Wei Zhongxian has always been very shrewd." This is Lei Cai running around.

experience.

"Such a person would not spend so much effort, just to make Jining so chaotic, and just destroy a few unrelated farms in Qingzhou Prefecture. Is it just to arrange famous soldiers and horses in the three prefectures of southern Hebei?

Are we going to surround Xuzhou in general?" Lei Cai couldn't give an answer, but he asked a lot of questions.
