Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1316, young man, give some color and you will know how powerful it is

"In this way, this Sun Zixiang is a proper and heinous bully?"

Zhu Houzhao listened carefully, and touched his chin after listening, well, there is no beard yet, and it feels like something is missing.

"Yes, Your Highness, this Sun Zixiang is definitely a cancer, a dark cloud hanging over the people of Huairou County."

Liu Jin nodded solemnly.

"Didn't the imperial court carry out a severe crackdown a few years ago, specifically against road bandits, bullies, bandits, thieves, etc. This Huairou County is at the foot of the emperor, why didn't it be destroyed? Is there someone behind him?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and asked.

Although Zhu Houzhao doesn't like to deal with state affairs, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything. He is very smart and has a very good memory. He can remember many things clearly.

"Your Highness, we have already investigated."

"The reason why this Sun Zixiang was able to run rampant in Huairou County is mainly because their Sun family was originally a big family in Huairou County, with a large population and a large number of people. There are also many scholars in the family. The county magistrate of Huairou County, Sun Xuepeng, is Sun Zixiang. dear brother."

"In addition, they have an uncle, Sun Qingjiang, who works as a judge in Shuntian Mansion. It is because of the protection of these two relationships that the Sun family and this Sun Zixiang can run rampant throughout Huairou County."

"Here in Huairou County, the people in Huairou County only know about the Sun family, but they don't know about the imperial court. Nothing can get around their Sun family."

Liu Jin quickly replied.

"In this way, the Sun family is the cancer and bully of the entire Huairou County. As for this Sun Zixiang, he is just a clown on the surface. In reality, it is the Shuntian Mansion who judged Sun Qingjiang and the magistrate Sun Xuepeng of Huairou County."

Zhu Houzhao understood immediately.

If there was no one covering him, then based on the strength of the imperial court in eradicating evil, it would be impossible for Sun Zixiang to stay until now. In the end, it was because there were people above and well-informed that he escaped the imperial court's thunder and raids.

"Yes, Your Highness~"

Liu Jin also nodded and said.

"Father put me here in Huairou County on purpose. He chose a place like this. Let's see how I deal with it."

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, and soon thought of a possibility.

"Your Highness, this is likely to be a test for you by His Majesty."

Liu Jin was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Why didn't I think of this possibility?

It is very likely that Emperor Hongzhi knew the situation here, but he did not rush to deal with it. Instead, he asked Zhu Houzhao to be the magistrate of the county and let Zhu Houzhao handle this matter to see how well Zhu Houzhao handled it.

"Cut~"

"It's really boring~"

"A small Sun's family, just local ruffians, and let me deal with it."

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips. It is very likely that Emperor Hongzhi operated in this way, which made Zhu Houzhao feel very speechless.

It's fine for me to be a magistrate as a prince, but I still have to deal with this kind of shit.

"Forget it, forget it~"

"Who made me the magistrate of Huairou County?"

"Hmph~ Let's see how I deal with this Sun family and these scumbags."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, turned his eyes, and thought quickly.

On the other side, at the Sun Mansion in Huairou County, the main members of the Sun family also gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.

"Uncle, what is the origin of this Zhu Shou?"

"Looking at his appearance, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he can be a county magistrate. When he came to Huairou County, dozens of four-wheeled carriages came. They were servants and housekeepers. He looked very good. backing."

Sun Xuepeng looked at his uncle Sun Qingjiang and asked.

Sun Qingjiang has been in the capital all year round, and he is well-informed and knows a lot. Sun Qingjiang has contributed a lot to the Sun family's success today.

"I have asked people to inquire, but there is no news yet."

"Zixiang, stop on your side recently, wait until we find out about his situation."

"Since he has a background, it must not be easy to provoke, it is better to provoke less."

"I guess, most of them came here for gold plating, and they won't stay for long."

"You are young, speak more good words, brag, brag, take him on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and leave after the gilding is finished. At that time, I will be operating and operating, and you, Xuepeng, can go further."

Sun Qingjiang took a sip of tea. He hurried back this time because he was afraid that something would happen in Huairou County, so he went home to tell and explain.

"Yes, I know~"

Sun Xuepeng nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, I will arrange it."

Sun Zixiang, who has a hooked nose, an inverted triangle, and looks fierce, also nodded quickly.

In Huairou County, he was a bully and hooligan that everyone feared, but in the Sun family, he still had to listen to Sun Qingjiang and Sun Xuepeng.

There is no way, those who play with knives can't play with those who hold pens, what is the status of scholars?

"Hmm~"

Sun Qingjiang nodded in satisfaction, then thought for a while and said: "I have a good relationship with some people in the capital, and I plan to invest in a textile factory in Hezhong, with a total investment of three million taels of silver. Prepare one million taels of silver."

"In the Hezhong area, there are many cotton plantations now. We will directly build a textile factory in the Hezhong area. Then the woven cloth can be sold directly to Europe. This is also the first step for our Sun family to officially leave Huairou County. If this step is done well, our Sun family will be able to invest in various parts of Ming Dynasty and even around the world like those big families in Beijing in the future, that is the real big family."

"This small Huairou County is still too small to raise large fish."

"Uncle, investing three million taels of silver, isn't that too big?"

When Sun Zixiang heard this, he hurriedly asked.

"Three million taels of silver is indeed a large amount. The investment is large, but the return is also large. I know the situation of those textile factories in the capital. They use new steam spinning machines and looms, which are extremely efficient and produce a lot. It only takes a few years to pay back the capital, and it will be profitable in the future.”

Sun Qingjiang nodded in agreement. These are the largest transactions and investments in the history of the Sun family. Millions of taels of silver were invested, which almost put most of the property of the Sun family on it.

"I also know about the textile factory. I originally wanted to build a textile factory here in Huairou County, but I didn't expect the investment to be so large."

Sun Xuepeng also shook his head slightly and said.

"This is unreliable. If millions of taels of silver are poured in, our Sun family will not have much silver."

Sun Zixiang thought for a while and said, "However, it is possible to slowly swallow the entire factory as before."

"I'm afraid it won't work this time. The cooperators are all masters with great backgrounds. There are people in the court. Let's do business honestly this time. Go out and see the situation first, and then do it slowly. Big."

Sun Qingjiang shook his head slightly. This Sun Zixiang has a big appetite and wants to eat everything alone.

This is why Sun Qingjiang never dared to let the Sun family get out of Huairou.

In Huairou County, it can still be controlled, and people who offend are not afraid.

But this time out of Huairou County, there are many strong dragons and snakes, and anyone who comes out casually is much stronger than himself.

Once this Sun Zixiang provokes someone who cannot be offended, then the Sun family will face disaster.

He couldn't be more clear about how many wicked things the Sun family has done over the years. Once the matter gets to the court, the Sun family will be over.

For this matter, he, Sun Qingjiang, tried his best to make friends with dignitaries in the capital, and he didn't know how much money he gave away.

"The business and business of the factory can indeed be done. As soon as the machine is started, money flows in like flowing water."

"It's just a pity that no one came to Huairou County to build a factory. Otherwise, our family would have a few more factories. The current coal factory can't make a few dollars a year by producing briquettes."

Sun Xuepeng nodded after hearing that, everyone knows that the factory makes money.

There are factories everywhere in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and those factory owners are richer than the other. Thinking about my grandson's family, it is simply too low-level to earn some money by digging coal, collecting tolls, and monopolizing the business in Huairou County.

"Factories are very profitable. Our Sun family will also open more factories in the future. The money for mining coal is not easy to earn, and accidents are prone to happen."

Sun Qingjiang nodded. There are too many, too many factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and he has also seen a lot of owners who have made a lot of money by opening factories.

"Recently, I have taken good care of all the coal mines, and there must be no accidents."

"We are not familiar with this new county magistrate. Who knows what kind of person he is. Don't meet a stunned young man who happens to hit the tip of a knife and make things worse. It's not easy to clean up."

When it comes to coal mines, Sun Qingjiang hastened to tell him.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. There are people guarding every coal mine to see what can happen."

"As for the new county magistrate, if he is obedient, our Sun family will naturally be more polite to him. It's easy to talk about food, drink, and money, but if he doesn't have eyes."

"This young man, if you give him some color, you will know how powerful he is."

"If it really doesn't work, then I'll have to ask you, put some pressure on him, and then find a way to force him away."

"This running water county magistrate, with an iron-clad camp, is on the three-acre land in Huairou County. Will we still be afraid of him, a small county magistrate?"

Sun Zixiang said dismissively, what could happen in Huairou County?

Even if something happened, what else could the Sun family have to settle?

It's just a small young magistrate, why should he be so afraid?
There is no need at all, the Sun family is a local snake in Huairou County, and there are plenty of ways to make this little county magistrate obediently cooperate with the Sun family.

"What do you know?"

"If something happens, it becomes a big mess, and this place is so close to the capital, if it really spreads to the capital, what will you do?"

"In the past, we could rely on some means to grow and develop slowly, but now, we have to find a way to whitewash ourselves. Some things, we should try our best not to do them. After all, we will not see the light."

When Sun Qingjiang heard this, he immediately reprimanded him with a straight face.

"Yes~"

Sun Zixiang could only lower his head and reply.

"You don't need to pay for blocking the road anymore. The impact is very bad, and you won't get much money."

Sun Qingjiang thought for a while and said.

"I'll tell them not to do it when I turn around."

"But Uncle, it's not about investing millions of taels of silver to build a factory in Hezhong. Our family won't have much money if we take out the money. We can collect tens of thousands of taels of silver for tolls a year."

"It's true, then keep collecting it, I'm short of money now..."
