Now the best doctor in Jianghuai has opened a medical clinic in Xuzhou. No matter how much he earns from buying medicine, he earns several times more every year than before. Naturally, he is willing to stay here permanently. Moreover, Yunshan Bank also allows him to invest in the medicine business.

In a land hub like Xuzhou, there is a huge amount of medicinal materials transshipment trade, and the profits can be imagined. Because of this temptation, more and more doctors come to Xuzhou and Pizhou. This is exactly the effect Zhao Jin and the others want.

"You are busy with your business, why bother to come to my place and delay." Seeing Zhao Jin coming over, Zhao Zhentang was very impatient. He Cuihua, who was waiting on the side, wanted to complain but did not speak.

Zhao Jin sat down with a smile, but he was not in such a happy mood. His father's Qi was already very low, and his body was very thin. This disease may not be as light as the doctor said. Is it because of his father's advice or

After threatening him, Zhao Jin didn't want to ask, and he was a little afraid to ask.

"Have you finished your work there? The situation is so tight now. You should take care of everything in advance. I have your mother and subordinates taking care of me here, so you don't have to worry about it." Zhao Zhentang was helped to sit on the bed and said.

"If you have to be busy, you will always be busy. It's easy to spare time. Dad, don't worry so much. Just take good care of your health." Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

Zhao Zhentang stared at Zhao Jin very carefully. As he watched, he said in a low voice: "I can't control you. When you were ten years old, you went to the execution ground with me to watch the execution. I scared you so much that you almost died. When you woke up, I

I can't control you anymore. Who would have thought that you would take such a path now? I can't even dream about it."

"Dad, do you want some water?" Zhao Jin blew the warm water from the tea bowl.

"I've had it for a long time. You don't need to worry about this. Just chat with me for a while." By this time, Zhao Zhentang didn't say anything about what he was busy with.

Zhao Jin smiled and nodded. After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhentang said: "It's not difficult for you to win this time. It's said to be a battle between large armies, but in fact it's not difficult. It's so easy this time. What will happen if the army comes next time?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhentang's face showed a mixture of pride and contempt: "The old brother in the guard asked me to remind you to be careful. With such a large population in the Ming Dynasty, millions and tens of millions of soldiers and horses can be gathered together.

, Don’t underestimate the enemy. What does a peasant who has never been out know? He still has millions and ten million troops. It’s a big deal to be able to raise 100,000. This time, the imperial court suddenly sent out more than 50,000 officers and soldiers.

I was really shocked, I thought it was really fast.”

Zhao Zhentang was very happy to say that he himself was knowledgeable and his brother had served in the army for many years. He naturally understood the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty and understood what it meant to assemble an army of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. When the imperial court sent an army of 60,000 to besiege, Zhao Zhentang

He was indeed worried, but after Zhao Ziying's devastating victory and quick victory, Zhao Zhentang was so relieved that he no longer even cared about the siege from the imperial court with more troops.

"What is your battalion called now? The leader of the team leads tens of thousands of people. In the Ming Dynasty, he could be regarded as a general. What do you call him Zheng? The soldiers and horses below are called servants and so on.

It always makes people feel that the name is unfair and those who are capable do not dare to come here to seek refuge. You have to change the name this time after your victory." Zhao Zhentang warned again.

Zhao Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "I still can't shout too loudly. If I can avoid breaking up, I still want to take it easy. Now I'm thinking about whether to call the general, Zhao Ziying changed to Zhao Jiajun, and the rest will not change.

Too big."

These words are not answered just because they were asked, but they have already been discussed in the past. Zhao Ziying's current situation is that he is not afraid of a war but does not want a war. Although all parties are responding, even the gentry and powerful people who were originally alienated from Zhao Ziying

Everyone was making suggestions, saying that they should work hard to the end, but Zhao Jin still felt that the territory under his control had not been completely digested.

"If it were completely used by me, there wouldn't be so many people with different intentions, and there wouldn't be so many internal agents. But it's also related to the fact that we kept a low profile in the early stage. Some people either don't understand, or don't know the pros and cons, but

Next, we can let go and do some things, and have everything in the control area in our hands. The human, material and financial resources can be used by me. After we get to this step, we can talk about the next step."

"With such steady development, there will be times when there will be an explosion, but these are just words. How to do it depends on the next step of the court and Wei Zhongxian. If we really want to fight, then we will just follow the ducks and get on the shelves."

Zhao Jin and his companions said this in their discussions and letters, but now there is no need to maintain that vagueness and ambiguity. Some things can be clearly stated. For example, Zhao Ziying's name and structure were originally open to outsiders.

It is the first level training of the Xiangyong Group. Now it needs to be more formalized. The details still need to be discussed. However, Zhao Jin has already rejected the titles of King of Heaven, King of Xu and General of the World.

Hearing Zhao Jin's answer, Zhao Zhentang nodded slowly and said with emotion: "Thanks to your second uncle for agreeing to teach you martial arts and cultivating your calm and calm temperament. If your second uncle sees you,

I don’t know how happy I am today.”

The old man said a few words and couldn't help but shed tears. He wiped it with his hands in a panic. This scene made Zhao Jin feel very uncomfortable, but he still kept a smile and helped his father wipe it. However, Zhao Zhentang calmed down quickly and showed concern again.

He asked: "This march requires food and grass. This is a time of drought. Do the people below you have enough to eat?"

"It's enough to eat. I grow my own food and store it, and then I buy it from everywhere. Dad, you won't believe it even if I tell you. We are still fighting with the imperial court. Those grain merchants came to our door to sell it at low prices. At that time, my son's side

I thought it was a trap." Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

No one expected this situation. When the Qingjiangpu competition failed, Zhao Jin led his team to go south and north. When the news of the first victory reached Qingjiangpu, the grain merchants who had not been liquidated and ransacked came to find them and proposed

The conditions are very simple, 20% lower than the market price, but the cash payment must be completed within a certain period of time.

The soldiers and horses of Xuzhou were fighting with the imperial officers and soldiers. Ordinarily, these grain merchants, who had been favored by the emperor for generations, should clear the Zhaozi camp. Even if the granary was burned down, they should not sell door-to-door. They should still sell at low prices, which made Yun even more embarrassed.

What was astonishing at Shanxing was that officials from the Qingjiangpu Branch of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ambassador of the Water Transport Warehouse were the most proactive, and they had no involvement in the killing.

I thought there was some fraud, but Zhao Ziying couldn't figure it out, so he finally asked Geng Mancang, the trade director of Huai'an North District, to come here to handle the matter. He was the most proficient in grain trade. Geng Mancang knew it after two banquets.

The reason is very simple. When the war is about to begin, water transportation is cut off. At this time, new grains from the south of the Yangtze River are arriving, and there is no way to deal with the old grains accumulated in various places transported by water. If they are stored like this, there will not be enough granaries in the grain villages, and they will inevitably rot and waste. They cannot become

For cash, it is better to sell it to Zhao Ziying for money as soon as possible.

And everyone thinks very far. Xuzhou is strong and the imperial court is powerful. In the long run, the imperial court will win. If Xuzhou collapses, who will have so much cash to buy grain? Then the grain trade will only return to its previous appearance.

Slowly shipping and bartering, it is better to sell while it can be sold. Correspondingly, there is a large increase in orders for Songjiang cloth and the low price of Xuzhou cloth. Everyone feels that with the war, Xuzhou production

If we don’t sell so much cloth, we will still have to buy Songjiang cloth when the time comes.

When the war started in winter and spring, everyone in Zhao Ziying was afraid of delaying spring plowing, and thus delaying the food supply for the whole year. Without farmers, there would be no stability, but with food, there would be no panic. This is the fundamental point of Zhao Ziying. When they were worried, someone would send food.

, I was really overjoyed. Not to mention what I earned from various businesses, I also got enough money and money from confiscating the properties of the wealthy people in Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou, and I spent it directly.

In the first month of this year, the servants of the Zhao Ziying were fighting, and the farmers' laborers were not idle either. They built grain tunnels and granaries in the area controlled by the third brigade, and then used the fleets of the Yu family and the Li family, one by one.

Grain was transported from Qingjiangpu to Haizhou and stored in granaries near Haizhou port. The more the better. The more grain, the more stable the situation of Zhao Ziying would be.

In the midst of the busy business, people in trade and farming also felt that something was not right. Could it be that these grain merchants who came to our door were just looking at the confiscated properties of wealthy merchants? Did they just exchange this with grain? Then,

Zhao Ziying can use the fleet of sea-going ships to transport grain. Why are these water transport officials and grain merchants unwilling to do it? To say that the Ming Dynasty was taboo on shipping, the military grain and military supplies from Tianjin Wei to Dengzhou Prefecture, and Dengzhou Prefecture to Liaodong, and

The Songjiang sand ship fleet transported commercial goods to Tianjin Wei. The so-called Beiyang route, these routes have been in history for decades. The water transportation was cut off, and grain was transported to the north by sea.

However, no one did this. Whether the court is safe or not, whether the capital is short of food, has nothing to do with everyone in Qingjiangpu. Loyalty and national justice are not as important as getting rich at this time.

"Dad, you won't believe it even if I tell you. The salt affairs officials from Haizhou and Yangzhou have approached us and said that they will swallow up all last year's balance and this year's salt profit, and then divide the accounts between 30 and 70, and we will take 70%."

, Zhao Jin was also a little excited, but then he stopped because he found that his father Zhao Zhentang fell asleep leaning over there.

Zhao Jin laid Zhao Zhentang down gently and then left the house. His mother He Cuihua followed him out and whispered in the yard: "Your father often said in private that you are busy with big things now, don't care what we do.

You have done this great thing, and all the ancestors will be happy. You don’t have to go back to your home very often, and there are so many people to serve.”

"Mom, it's not that time yet, don't say such unlucky words." Zhao Jin understood the hidden meaning of his mother's words and interrupted directly.
