Rebirth of the Hundred Generals' Picture Text Chapter 767 The World's Salt Merchants
Shanglin Mansion, Nanwu County, Lujiaqiu, this Lu family courtyard, which looks like a small town, has changed a lot recently. The Lu family mansion was built on a hill with buildings staggered like scales, from top to bottom. It can be said that if the Lu family courtyard is slightly renovated, it will be a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
As a branch of the Lu family, one of the four wealthy families, although the power of the Lu family in Chuzhou is not as powerful as that of the original family, it is one of the most powerful families in Chuzhou. Moreover, there is also a Lu family behind it. In Nanwu County, the Lu family is even more like a county magistrate. Although it is not a county magistrate, it is better than a county magistrate.
With such wealth, the construction of the Lu family compound is a huge expense and has taken many years of hard work. The entire compound is not only gorgeous, but also strong. The foundation is paved with heavy bluestone, and even the Hengyu is built with blue bricks. Now the courtyard wall that is used to prevent thieves is piled up like a city wall. If it is, I would have thought it had entered a major town or fortress.
"This is such a big show. My father-in-law's family also wants to imitate me to build a castle?" Leng Zhuo and his party entered Lushui Town, looked at the huge construction site and the city wall that looked like they were the first to see him, and couldn't help but tease him and said to Lu Chanyue.
When Leng Zhuo entered Shanglin Mansion on this trip, he was not alone. Although he had not arrived at the Weiying Camp, the people who came to visit Shanglin Mansion in the early stage were all complete, like Kong Mingchen, Xuanchen, and Kong Mingchen who visited the three major grain-producing areas last year. Shanglin Mansion was one of the stops, so the heads were quite familiar. The most important thing was that Kong Mingchen was good at dealing with this group of different families, and Xuanchen was almost the same. After Leng Zhuo controlled the food source of Shanglin, Guangling and Dongchang Mansions, it was Xuanchen who was taking care of it.
When I came to Shanglin Mansion, I naturally couldn't lose myself, Mrs. Lu. As a result, the Lu family was the top ten families in Shanglin Mansion and was able to speak. I called Lu Chanyue, because Lu Chanyue was a member of the Lu family, and because Lu Chanyue controlled most of the places in Chuzhou, and thirdly, he asked him to go back to his parents' home to check it out (high-quality texts are first released, all). There must be someone to help warm the bed.
It turned out that there were two girls Long Wushuang and Bai Shuang following him, but Leng Zhuo could not have thought that after learning that Liang Hongyu and Qin Liangyu were in Panlong City, they even built a brigade composed of pure women, the two girls left a message and ran away, which made Leng Zhuo cry.
"Hmph, you bad guy. Just tell me some sarcastic words. Nanwu County is next to the Zhuque Mansion. A few days ago, Dongyang Mansion, more than 400 miles away, was attacked by the Tang army, but many defeated soldiers entered Nanwu County. Is it okay if I don't take any warning?"
Lu Chanyue's face was as bright as a cloud, and her snow-white jade neck was slightly hot and red. She turned her head and turned white, and said in a angrily voice. It was obvious that Leng Zhuo had been forced to do something extremely shameful in the carriage.
"Miss, son-in-law, it's really you! Xiaoliu, go and notify the master immediately. Hurry!"
"Second butler, you don't have to work hard, just go in by yourself!" Lu Chanyue said to the old butler who was running quickly with gray temples.
"Is this a shame? The lady and the son-in-law haven't come back for a while. Now the family is working everywhere, and there is no one to attract them. If you bump into them, you will be punished. There is nothing important to do after this. I'll lead the way!"
"Okay, let the Second Butler lead the way!" Leng Zhuo interrupted, but the group walked into the courtyard. When they passed the arch hole that looked like a city gate, they said, "Second Butler, the gate of the family is thick enough, which is not inferior to the city gates of some small cities!"
When the second butler heard Leng Zhuo say this, he smiled and said, "It's not just a riot. The bandits are making trouble. If you don't build a stronger one, you don't feel safe. And now, not only my Lu family does this, but anyone with some money and family business is building fortresses. It's also a blessing that our family has several quarries in Dayuan Prefecture. Otherwise, the stone will be really hard to buy!"
"It seems that my family has also recruited many rural heroes to inspect the villages. I'm afraid the surrounding areas are almost the same."
"Well, the veteran soldiers and adventurers who were not welcomed in previous years are now popular. If they were earth spirit scholars, they would have offered three or five times more sacrifices than usual, and they would not be able to grab them!"
As we walked all the way into the courtyard, there were fewer messy situations outside. Obviously, this time the big fight was mainly to build a circle of city walls, but there was no big move on the inside.
"I said that there were magpies shouting early this morning. It turned out that my brother-in-law and younger sister were back!" After passing the main hall of the Intermediate Court, Lu Jichengji, the boss of the Lu family, came towards me: "Why don't you send me a letter when you come back, this family is messy and there is no preparation (high-quality text first, all are available)!"
"Brother, my family, why are you doing so politely? By the way, the second housekeeper said that my father went to the city, but is there anything important?" Lu Chanyue saw her elder brother, but she stepped forward intimately and asked in a sweet voice.
The boss of the Lu family has been much more mature in the past two years. At least he won’t be so picky about Leng Zhuo when he married Lu Chanyue in the past. Of course, this is why Leng Zhuo is not as good as before now.
"My father went to see the head of the Cheng family. It seemed that there was something to talk about, but my father didn't say it clearly. Let's go to your yard first. My father is probably coming back soon. You are tired all the way, so take a rest first!"
Lu Chanyue's courtyard is still the same as it was a few years ago, and there has never been any change. Leng Zhuo had always slept in this yard when he came to Lu's house, so he was quite familiar with it: "There is no change in this yard!"
"Well, every time I come back, I feel like I've been back the same as before. You sit down first, and I'll have someone get some refreshments!"
A moment later, Lu Chanyue was defeated again. She was hugged by Leng Zhuo, holding her delicate jade hands, feeding Leng Zhuo, who couldn't open her hands, but her face was once again flushed like clouds. The fitting little shirt had long been untied, and her big hands held her own pair of breasts and jade peaks, and a hint of numbness wandered around her whole body.
As the thugs were kneading, Lu Chanyue was a little moved, but at this time, she didn't dare to get out of touch with Leng Zhuozhen, otherwise she didn't know how long it would take to make a fuss. She quickly spoke and said with a thoughtful look: "I don't know what my father was going to meet the Cheng family's boss!"
Leng Zhuo said oh, but he was still burying his head and stroking the two jade rabbits intently, but he was a little angry. He was run away by Long Wushuang and Baishuang, but he had not released the fire for several days. He was thinking about whether to eat it first and fight quickly.
Lu Chanyue hummed twice, knowing that his interruption did not attract Leng Zhuo's attention, but continued: "If you talk to you, you will not be able to meet Tianjing!"
"What's wrong!"
"The Cheng family has always been inconsistent with my Lu family. The two families in Suli rarely interact. At this time, they made an appointment with my father, but I don't know why!"
"Is the Cheng family big? I don't seem to have heard of it much?" Leng Zhuo's attention was finally moved over after hearing this. Although his hands did not stop, his mind was on his words.
Lu Chanyue gave Leng Zhuo a blank look, and the heat on her body finally subsided a little, but for a while, her lower body was muddy again, and she moved her body a little uncomfortable, and then said: "The Cheng family in Hexi County is not very obvious, but the foundation is much deeper than our Nanwu Lu family!"
"oh?"
"The Cheng family in Hexi is usually very low-key, but the foundation is very thick. In the 13 prefectures of Chuzhou, except for the four prefectures of Chuxi, most of the salt consumed by the remaining nine prefectures are bought and sold by the Cheng family! However, on the surface, the Cheng family supports several major salt merchants to handle the agency, and the Cheng family is behind the scenes!"
"Oh, this deal is quite a bit. Wouldn't a large part of the salt I eat on weekdays be sold by this Cheng family?"
"It's almost the same. In the past, it was basically the same, but now it's not much. Most of the food we eat now is pond salt, which is produced in Yangzhou! The Cheng family runs green salt. In the past year, because of this salt, the two families have not had much fun!"
Leng Zhuo was stunned. Leng Zhuo rarely paid attention to the business and business at home. Although Leng's family had the current situation, mostly Leng Zhuo's plans, in terms of specific operations, Leng Zhuo had nothing to do. As Leng Zhuo's first three wives, Lu Chanyue was responsible for the business of Chuzhou.
"Where is the origin of the Cheng family? It doesn't matter if it's important to sell salt from the Nine Palaces of Chuzhou!" Salt and iron are great things and have always been an important financial path for various dynasties. The new emperor Situ Ming is now fighting against Prince Qingzhou Situ Hao for the sake of this Huai Salt Tax.
"You all know about the four Yandu people. Tian, Mu, Cheng, and Yi, each have their own backgrounds. This Cheng refers to the Cheng family in Hexi. The Cheng family in Yandu is from Hexi. This place should be regarded as the hometown of the Cheng family. The Cheng family is prominent in Yandu, but in his hometown, it is very low-key. However, no matter how low-key it is, the important thing here is not as important as the Cheng family in Yandu. The Cheng family is basically the next head of the Cheng family in charge of the Cheng family's affairs!"
"Also, the Cheng family is very strong. You are not going to take down Shanglin County when you come to Shanglin Mansion this time and let everyone listen to you. This Cheng family is likely to be your biggest stumbling block!"
"What else do you know?" Leng Zhuo lost his overwhelming emotion now, his hands were moving inadvertently, but his mind was thinking quickly.
"I don't know much about the Cheng family. In the end, the Cheng family is very low-key. Although they are competitors, they are not enough to explore the whole family clearly. However, I heard that there were two or three heavenly spirits in the old house of the Cheng family, and even dozens of spiritual powerhouses guarding them. I remember that there was a thief who was very famous in the world. He was best at flying around the eaves and walls, and he went without a trace. His strength was recognized, but when he entered the Cheng family, he was sent to the government the next day!"
"It is precisely because of this that few people in Cheng's family dare to make random decisions!" Lu Chanyue thought for a while, told what she knew, and then looked at Leng Zhuo quietly.
