My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 236

  Chapter 236 The wall is down and everyone is pushing

   Zhu Di immediately became interested.

  Everything is ready-made.

  Cargo, channels, ships, even a lot of manpower.

  As long as you take over, you can make a lot of money, and it is basically robbing money.

   It was just the object of robbery, but it was the Pu family.

  Zhu Di glanced at Pu Chengzhi.

  Pu Chengzhi obviously couldn't hold back.

  The Zhu family has killed many of his relatives, and it can be said that they are sworn enemies.

   But now it seems that the Ming royal family is going to stalk them again.

   People who kill you, take your money, take everything you have.

But I heard Zhang Anshi continue to say happily at this time: "With these ready-made ones, there are several advantages. On the one hand, it is to earn money. Second, it is to stabilize those 'water workers'. These people used to rely on people like the Pu family to survive. , once the Pu family is gone, they will definitely lose their livelihood. Only by replacing the Pu family with a commercial firm can they continue to rely on it for a living. This is the best of both worlds..."

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "What Zhang Qing said is not unreasonable. Since Zhang Qing tried his best to explain, I have no choice but to follow the good advice, but I am afraid it will not be easy to sort out such a big business."

Zhang Anshi said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. The Pu family gave us a good start. I was thinking...their family smuggled, there must be a large number of accountants, stewards, and many purchasing and distribution personnel. , things will go more smoothly."

   "I can assure you that within three months, the smuggling business, no, the maritime trade business, will be on the right track..."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di regained his energy, but said with some hesitation: "All the people from the Pu family...are recruited? These people are working for private business, which is considered a heinous crime... Is this appropriate?"

Zhang Anshidao: "That's why they let them pay off their merits. What's more, the Pu family's business is so big, and there are so many people who work for him. The court is not as good as ruling crimes, but using them for commercial firms. Your Majesty is merciful and kind-hearted, and he can't bear to see blood." , the leader of the Pu family, the crime is horrendous, it is only right to kill them all. But what is the use of killing these accomplices? It may be used by the business, and it also shows His Majesty's generosity. But if there are still people here who are stubborn, come It's not too late to deal with it.”

   During the speech, the lives of countless people were saved.

   You must know that such a transaction involves too many people to count. If a major case is set off according to the method of Emperor Taizu Gao, even if tens of thousands of people are killed, it will be light.

   But to Zhang Anshi, people like the Pu family are indeed heinous, but the vast majority of them are, after all, just wage earners.

The reason why the Pu family dared to be so arrogant was simply because they controlled many people's livelihoods, but now...if even these people were pardoned, and they were just changed to a different owner, they would still be given a bite of food. I'm afraid that in an instant, the tree will fall and the monkeys will disperse.

  After hearing this, Pu Chengzhi already knew that his last hope was gone...

  He looked miserable and dizzy.

After listening to Zhang Anshi's words, Zhu Di dissipated his worries, nodded and said: "You should handle the business business first, and then continue to follow the map to catch the remnants of the Pu Party. If I want to start this business, I will also To... completely eradicate the Pu family!"

  Zhang Anshi said: "Yes."

  Zhang Anshi cheered up his spirits, and immediately ordered people to **** Pu Chengzhi out of the palace.

  Pu Chengzhi looked desperate.

  Zhang Anshi imprisoned him in Qixia, but he didn't interrogate him. He just smiled at him and said, "Within ten days, reunite with all your family members."

  Pu Chengzhi stared at Zhang Anshi, his face distorted, and he bared his teeth angrily: "They will definitely escape when they learn about the changes in the capital, I'm afraid they will disappoint you."

  Zhang Anshi smiled slightly, and said calmly: "You guys think too highly of yourself, but it's not surprising."

Zhang Anshi paused, and he showed disgust towards Pu Chengzhi: "Your family has experienced hundreds of years, and in these hundreds of years, you have also encountered many crises. You have gone through the difficulties one by one, and even the family has become more and more prosperous, so when Emperor Taizu Gao came, even if Emperor Gaodi killed you, but you have a very wide network after all, you can still escape the catastrophe .”

"It is precisely because of this that you think that this time, you must be lucky. But you are too stupid. The reason why you are stupid is because your Pu family was able to gain power, relying on your Pu family's strength, but in fact , the so-called Pu family, once you lose the sea trade, you are nothing."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi gave him a very disdainful look, and continued: "I am too lazy to interrogate you today, and we will make a decision after your whole family arrives here neatly."

  Zhang Anshi didn't say anything more, he returned to Nanzhen Fusi, and summoned Zhu Jinlai.

  Zhu Jin has been nervously waiting for the news.

  Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Zhu Jin before saying, "Are you ready?"

   "It's all ready." Zhu Jin looked at Zhang Anshi expectantly and said, "It's just His Majesty... but... is it allowed?"

  Zhang Anshi grinned: "If you have money to earn, why don't you allow it? Your Majesty is a flexible person, and this is what I admire. Alright, let's do it."

   Zhu Jin was overjoyed immediately.

  He couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart.

  When they began to purchase porcelain and silk, under Zhang Anshi's instruction, the firm made another preparation, that is, to receive Pu Chengzhi's smuggling group.

  This thing can't be done with just a single announcement.

  The firm has to face tens of thousands of people. If it wants to absorb them and annex the entire industry of the smuggling firm, it must prepare early.

  Zhu Jin tried his best to suppress his excitement, then nodded and said: "Young one, let's start."

  Three days later, Qixia Commercial Bank began to announce the news that it would soon operate a sea trade.

  As soon as the news came out, large-scale recruitment began.

  At the same time, the purchase of silk, ships, and porcelain was increased.

  If it was said that ordering silk and porcelain with big merchants was only carried out secretly, now it is almost advertised.

   All in all, all silks and porcelains are bought in bulk.

  Qixia Commercial Bank has a lot of money and wealth, and it directly adopts the model of paying both money and goods. This is different from ordinary transactions, where the goods are first received and then the silver is given. Instead, as long as the goods are in the warehouse, the payment for the goods will be settled immediately.

   Zhenjiang.

  In a small courtyard with a single family.

  At this moment, the owner here is anxiously waiting for the news.

   Rather than waiting for news, it is better to say that he has already packed his belongings and is ready to flee at any time.

  The news from the capital is getting worse every time.

  First, the brothel was besieged, and then it was reported that the Pu family was also arrested.

   For the owner of this house, this is nothing more than a bolt from the blue.

  The so-called tree falls and the monkeys scatter, and now almost everyone is looking for a way out by themselves.

  But for this family, after all, it is one of the important stewards of the Pu family. He has also sailed overseas for several years, and has a good understanding of overseas.

  They don't know when it will affect themselves, but it seems that if they don't run away, they may be buried with the Pu family.

  It's just a ship going out to sea, but it needs to be contacted. Now the private ship is too closely watched, so I can only wait patiently for news from there.

   Just when he was feeling uneasy, Zeng Wenjie, the owner of the house, drank tea in the small hall pretending to be calm.

  He has studied and passed the examination for the fame of a scholar. Because of his family's decline, he had no choice but to give up the imperial examination and seek other ways out by himself.

  Just as a scholar, after all, there is an arty side.

   At this moment, today's Di reported for duty.

  After taking a sip of tea, he sighed, and instructed his servants to fetch the residence report, and looked at it absent-mindedly.

   In the past, reading the mansion newspaper was just a habit, but in the past few days, he was eager to get a glimpse of the progress of this big case from the mansion newspaper.

  His brother Zeng Wenbin came at this time, and said: "Boss Wu of the private boat said that in the future, we can take a boat from Songjiangkou...to the country of Wa, big brother... big brother..."

   Zeng Wenbin was very happy at first, he finally got the news of the ship, and he just waited for the elder brother to speak, and the big guy hurried away.

   But he was surprised to find that Zeng Wenjie looked at the news in the mansion newspaper at this time, as if he was crazy.

   "Brother..."

   "Hmm..." Zeng Wenjie seemed to come back to his senses suddenly.

  Zeng Wenbin said again: "There is news of the ship, Boss Wu, willing to take the risk... to go to sea..."

   "There is no need to go to sea." Zeng Wenjie folded the newspaper, looked up at his younger brother with eyes full of streams, and seemed to be unable to see the anxiety that could not be concealed.

   Zeng Wenbin was shocked and said with embarrassment: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave until the officers and soldiers track it down. We gave the Pu family..."

  Zeng Wenjie vomited out a mouthful of turbidity, as if vomiting out the uneasiness in his heart for many days, and then said: "There is no need to leave, our Zeng family is safe."

  Zeng Wenbin was shocked again, his eyes widened in disbelief and said: "This...how is it possible? We are rebellious..."

  Zeng Wenjie said: "In the residence newspaper, there has been an imperial decree, only the first offender is concerned, and the rest are ignored."

   Zeng Wenbin's eyes lit up first, then he thought of something, and smiled wryly: "That's not necessarily the case. Who will be the first offender at that time, and the court has the final say? Brother...I think..."

Zeng Wenjie showed a relaxed smile, and said, "But did you see this news? Qixia Trading Company is now buying porcelain and silk...and here...is recruiting people...what do you think they are going to do? It is the order of the court, I You may not believe it, but now it seems that Qixia Commercial Bank needs to borrow us, and the news is likely to be true."

  Zeng Wenbin was still a bit worried, and frowned: "Could it be... a trick by the imperial court to deliberately teach me to throw myself into a trap?"

  Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said firmly: "It's absolutely impossible."

   Hearing Zeng Wenjie's words with such certainty, Zeng Wenbin asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Zeng Wenjie said patiently: "Didn't you notice that Qixia Trading Company is buying silk and porcelain in a big way? Tell me, why are you buying so much porcelain and silk? In my opinion, it is imminent for Qixia Trading Company to replace the Pu family. Qixia Commercial Bank has put out so much real gold and silver. If the porcelain and silk they bought are not sold overseas, how can they make a profit? No matter what, they will not spend such a big price just to let us cast a net."

   After hearing this, Zeng Wenbin slowly beamed with joy and raised his eyebrows: "Is this true?"

  Zeng Wenjie has stood up: "It's hard to leave the homeland. If it's not really desperate, who would want to leave their hometown and live under the fence? Well, hurry up and ask someone to prepare a car..."

   "Prepare the car?"

"Go to Qixia!" Zeng Wenjie stood up, and immediately said without doubt: "Go earlier and get a good position at the firm. It's also good now. If Qixia firm is in business, it's better to follow Qixia firm than follow Pu." The family should be more frightened. Now that Qixia Commercial Firm is employing people, our Zeng family has been with the Pu family for so many years, and we still have some experience, so we don't have to worry about having nothing to eat."

  Zeng Wenbin said: "Hey, brother actually said that...then..."

  He was about to continue talking, but Zeng Wenjie looked at Zeng Wenbin with a strange expression on his face, and said, "You said Boss Wu's boat...will go to sea in three days?"

   "Yes, I finally got in touch."

   "That's weird." Zeng Wenjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that the wind is so tight, then Boss Wu dares to venture out to sea. I think... this matter is not easy...unless...someone promises a huge profit."

  Zeng Wenbin said: "So many people want to escape... can't they earn a lot of money?"

"No." Zeng Wenjie shook his head: "Things are not that simple. Even if you have a lot of money, you have to earn your life after all. Boss Wu has already earned enough money over the years. For this, it is not a big crime to commit a serious crime." No return? Unless... there are very important people... who have to go to sea, this Boss Wu has to take a risky trip, and then take some people with him, and earn some money from it."

  After hearing this, Zeng Wenbin's expression changed: "You mean...the Pu family..."

Zeng Wenjie nodded with a sullen brow, and said: "It should be. If it weren't for the Pu family, you would know Boss Wu's temperament. It is impossible for ordinary people to order him. This Pu family is different from us. They must be the first offenders, so At this time, no matter what the price is... Hurry up, time is running out, at this time, it is time to accept a certificate from Qixia Commercial Bank."

  The two brothers looked at each other, and there was no more hesitation.

  A day later, Zeng Wenjie arrived in Qixia in a hurry, and first went to Qixia Commercial Bank to apply for a job.

   After saying that he has management experience, especially the management experience in maritime trade, he also said his name, and soon Zhu Jin met him.

   "I have admired Brother Zeng's name for a long time, haha..." Zhu Jin said with a blushing face, "I always knew that you are capable, and this time you are willing to come, so Zhu is relieved."

  Zeng Wenjie said humbly: "The person who has committed a crime is ashamed to say it."

Zhu Jinsu has always been exquisite, so he smiled and said at this time: "What is the crime? Everyone is just begging for food. This time, An Nanhou is looking for talents like Brother Zeng. , who also speaks Mandarin and knows how to ship goods and enter accounts, but I can't find them even with a lantern."

  Zeng Wenjie smiled, heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "I have something that I hope to report to Marquis Annan."

   "Huh?" Zhu Jin said, "Is it very important?"

  Zeng Wenjie nodded solemnly.

  Zhu Jin was very angry: "Okay, I will arrange it now. What An Nanhou likes most is dealing with people like Brother Zeng. Haha, we will be a family in the future, so you can go and meet them."

   After a stick of incense, Zeng Wenjie arrived at Nanzhen Fusi.

   When he entered here, he felt a little chill in his heart, but he still collected his mind. Immediately, he saw Zhang Anshi in a small hall.

   "The villain has seen..."

  Zhang Anshi was turning his back on his back at this time, raised his head slightly, and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

   This calligraphy and painting was just asked to be written by someone, and it was written: the four characters of "benevolence, righteousness, integrity and shame".

  Nanzhen Fusi now has an appearance, and it also needs corporate culture, no, it needs to have the background of Nanzhen Fusi, and the four characters of benevolence, justice, integrity and shame are what Zhang Anshi values ​​most, so he taught people to write them down and hang them around.

   Looking back, Zhang Anshi said: "Are you Zeng Wenjie? Benhou has heard of you. They said that you were in charge of Quanzhou's trade routes to Japan and Luzon."

  Zeng Wenjie said respectfully, "I'm ashamed."

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't be ashamed, the past has been forgotten, this is His Majesty's will. If you can work in Qixia Commercial Firm, you will be your own family in the future. It is not easy for the common people to make a living. How about having a full meal and doing something you don't want to? After all, not everyone is as lucky as Zhang Anshi, who has a good brother-in-law..."

  Zhang Anshi's words touched Zeng Wenjie's heart, and he sighed. After all, he used to be a scholar, and his dream was to be named on the gold list and become an official in the court.

  If it is not forced by real life, I will definitely not go to run a boat for the Pu family.

   Zhang Anshi said at this time: "What's the matter with you?"

Zeng Wenjie quickly said: "The villain heard a news that a man named Wu Boss will go to sea quietly in the near future. The villain thinks... this boat may be the remnants of the Pu family... Although the Pu family is the villain's former proprietors, But the villain and them are nothing more than an employment relationship. The villain contributes, and they spend money to hire them. Now that they have committed a heinous crime, how dare the villain join them? After learning the news, I came here to report to Lord Marquis."

   Zeng Wenjie thought that Zhang Anshi would be greatly surprised when he heard this incident, and then he paid special attention to it.

   Unexpectedly, Zhang Anshi looked at Zeng Wenjie with a strange look: "Well, it seems...you really plan to completely sever ties with the Pu family."

  Zeng Wenjie said: "They will set off at noon the next day... Go get them now, I'm afraid it's too late."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "I sent someone to get it last night."

   "Ah..." Zeng Wenjie never expected that Zhang Anshi had already heard the news.

  Zhang Anshi continued with a smile: "From last night to now, you are the nineteenth to report this news."

  Zeng Wenjie: "..."

   Zeng Wenjie never expected that the news of the Pu family fleeing to sea would leak through like a sieve.

  He originally thought that he already had good eyes and ears, but he didn't realize that he was actually the one who realized it later.

  Zhang Anshi smiled again: "Do you know who the first person to report this news is?"

   "This..." Zeng Wenjie was stumped.

   "That's Boss Wu..." Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Boss Wu pretended to agree, and immediately sent his own son to Qixia day and night to confess, saying that he wanted to take credit for the crime."

   Zeng Wenjie was overwhelmed in his heart, and then couldn't help cursing in his heart.

  Boss Wu is really black-hearted! On the one hand, he notified Zhang Anshi, but on the other hand, he quietly solicited customers. If the Zeng family also fled at that time, not only would he have to pay Boss Wu a lot of money for the boat, but he might be taken by Neiqianhu immediately after boarding the boat. down.

   Not only was there an additional crime, but the boat money was directly hacked by Boss Wu.

  Luckily, he... made the same choice as Boss Wu.

  As for those guys who don't have a clear mind, I'm afraid it will be miserable, and they must be short of money and people.

Zhang Anshi looked at Zeng Wenjie with a half-smile and said, "I'm afraid that at this moment, the captain of the Neiqianhu Office has already intercepted the entire ship. The people inside have also been wiped out. This Pu family has committed a heinous crime... That's what happened."

"However, you are willing to report the letter, which shows that you are willing to change your past. From now on, in Qixia Commercial Bank, let's do things well. For Haimao Commercial Bank, I want to set up a chief shopkeeper, three deputy chief shopkeepers, and ordinary shopkeepers. , Thirty deputy shopkeepers. You are a talent, and Benhou will greet Zhu Jin later, and you will be a shopkeeper, responsible for a business."

  Zeng Wenjie hurriedly said: "The villain is the one who has been convicted, and now he is highly valued by the Marquis. How dare he not do his best, and he will die after bowing down. He will never disappoint the Marquis."

   Then Zeng Wenjie left and went out.

  Zhang Anshi is not without pride.

  The people who come to apply now are like crucian carp crossing the river.

  As for the Pu family, they are just fish on the chopping board.

  There are countless reports sent from all over the place. Not to mention the core members of the Pu family, even if they are members of the same family, the news of the report is one after another.

   Now in Neiqianhu, search everywhere, very busy.

  Chen Li has also rushed back to Qixia.

  Although he was leading people to Ningbo Mansion, he actually shot a feint and went back halfway.

  At this time, he came back excitedly and met Zhang Anshi.

  Zhang Anshi was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

   "Master Hou..."

  Zhang Anshi nodded.

  Chen Lidao: "Master Hou seems to have something on his mind?"

   "Yes." Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "Master Ben is very worried now."

  Chen Li couldn't help cheering up, and said: "This... I'd like to ask Lord Hou to tell me, so that I can share my worries for Lord Hou by being humble."

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "I'm thinking...there are so many brothers in Fusi in Nanzhen, both old and young, and there is also a business house, there are so many people in the business house...Which one of them doesn't want to support their family? They work for my Lord... Hmm... how can I teach them... so hard work in vain?"

   "Ah..." Chen Li was a little confused.

  Zhang An Shidao: "No, after thinking about it, I still feel that I can't treat them badly. I have to report to His Majesty no matter what, and I implore His Majesty to be merciful and give everyone a home here in Qixia."

"settle down?"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Have you forgotten? At the beginning, I asked people to build a lot of courtyards for Zhu Jin and the shopkeepers in Qixia, so I thought, this time I will benefit more people. Those who have been working in Qianhusuo for more than three years will all buy a mansion. Of course, the place will be smaller, and it is just a nest. The most important thing is to give everyone an extra place to shelter from the wind and rain. .”

  After hearing this, Chen Li was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, and he said slowly, "How much money will this cost?"

  Zhang Anshi didn't care much and said: "The land belongs to Qixia, and the rest is the construction cost. If the commercial company handles it in a unified way, the cost can be reduced to the minimum. What do you think about this?"

  Chen Li raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to be happy.

  But hurriedly put on an attitude: "Master Hou, if it doesn't count, we should work for the court and the business."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Don't be generous with others. I made this, of course I have my own idea. Turn around, you send me the roster of Nanzhen Fusi, up to Qianhu, down to the school lieutenant."

  Chen Li was relieved now, it seems that Master Hou is not testing him.

So he hurriedly said happily: "I'm afraid that the news will spread, and the Fusi of Quannan Town will be full of gongs and drums. There are indeed many captains who live in the capital. It's worth it, you have to walk a lot at night to get back home, if Lord Hou can really handle this matter, it will be a great merit."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help laughing: "What kind of merit do I, Zhang Anshi, want? I really want merit. In the future, when I die, I can burn relics heavier than myself. Okay, don't repeat yourself."

   Zhang Anshi sent Chen Li away, and immediately began to conceive.

   A few days later, Zhang Anshi entered the palace. When he entered the palace, he brought an account book with him.

   Excited to see Zhu Di.

  But I saw Zhu Di was sitting upright, holding a memorial book in his hand, showing a sad look.

  Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty..."

  Zhu Di looked up at him slightly, put down the memorial, and said: "How is it? Is the business done?"

Zhang Anshi then said: "It's done, a lot of people have been hired, and a lot of private boats have also joined our Qixia Trading Company, oh, and... all the members of the Pu family have also been wiped out, a total of one hundred and ninety-nine The thirteen people have been arrested at sea in various places."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di's melancholy dissipated for a while, and he said happily, "Very good, I'm still afraid...these people have run away."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Those who can't escape, I have already prepared a net for them."

  Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said: "Others can be ignored, but this Pu family must not stay. These perverted people deserve death."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to play here."

  Zhu Di said: "Let's listen."

Zhang Anshidao: "The wealth of the Zhuangzi, that is, Ji Gang, has been thoroughly investigated. Also... the property of the Pu family has also been searched from various places. Although it has not been clearly counted, the Pu family has their own An account book, I think their accounts, and the gold and silver they have saved, should barely match, at least close to each other."

  Hearing this, Zhu Di blushed all of a sudden, his eyes widened slightly, and suddenly said, "Damn it, why didn't you say it earlier."

  The first chapter will be delivered first, and will be updated during the day afterward.

  (end of this chapter)
