East Factory Governor

Chapter 386 Good business

The head office of "Da Chang Ji" is in Taiyuan City.Zhang Desheng and his party also wanted to return to Taiyuan.

So they continued to walk with Qin Shuhuai and others.

Qin Shuhuai's chat with Zhang Desheng naturally had his purpose.

Since Dachang was a well-known firm in Daming, did the Zhang family have contacts with those salt merchants and grain merchants?

The salt merchants and grain merchants in Shanxi are Zhang Xianzhong's secret logistics supply.

On the carriage, Qin Shuhuai continued to chat with Zhang Desheng casually.

"Boss Zhang, Dachangji is considered a big business in Shanxi, right?"

Zhang Desheng smiled, "To tell the truth, Qin Shaobao, Dachangji dare not call it big, but it is indeed not small. But at present, all our stores in the south of Jinzhong are closed, except for the fur business. It was much less before."

"Is it because the bandits in southern Jin made a lot of trouble?"

Zhang Desheng smiled wryly, "Then what else could it be? Our business in Jinnan was basically robbed by rogues, and more than a dozen clerks died. Jinnan is now ruled by rogues, and we businessmen dare not set up shop there. .”

Qin Shuhuai pretended to be ignorant and said, "Oh? So Jinnan doesn't have any business names anymore?"

Zhang Desheng said, "Naturally there are still some businesses. Those big salt merchants and big grain merchants are doing well there. Other than that, there are some small merchants and hawkers."

"Can the big salt merchants and the big grain merchants still open their businesses there? Those people are fat and oily, and those rogues are willing to let them go?"

Zhang Desheng opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

After a while, he said, "Perhaps the rogues also eat salt and grain. If they rob all the salt merchants and grain merchants, they will have no place to buy them. Qin Shaobao, do you think this is the reason? This is my I figured it out myself."

Qin Shuhuai's voice was slightly lowered, and he said, "Boss Zhang seems to have something to say? Does he not trust Qin?"

Zhang Desheng panicked, and hurriedly said, "Don't you dare, sir, please don't say that."

Qin Shuhuai said in a concentrated voice, "Boss Zhang, you are so confused!"

Zhang Desheng hurriedly asked, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"You are clearly victimized by bandits, but why do you still want to help the tyrant?"

Zhang Desheng felt a chill behind his back, and his heart was pounding.

The imperial envoy said that he was helping the evildoers and gangsters, this is not just kidding!With his methods, if he is cruel, the whole Zhang family will be ruined!
Zhang Desheng hurriedly cupped his hands to Qin Shuhuai, and said, "My lord, you, do you have any misunderstandings about the grassroots? Even if the grassroots had the guts to be ambitious, they wouldn't dare to collude with that rogue!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qin Shuhuai put away his gloomy expression, smiled lightly, and said, "Boss Zhang, I didn't say that you were colluding with bandits. Why are you so panicked?"

Zhang Desheng still did not dare to relax at all, and asked cautiously, "What did your lord mean just now?"

"I'm talking about you, you won't tell me why those grain merchants and salt merchants are able to open their businesses in southern Shanxi. Rogues. In Dai County, the country gentry and common people in Dai County all gave their best to help, Qin felt deeply, so together with them, he thought of a way for the government and the people to help each other and fight against the rogues together."

As he said that, Qin Shuhuai told Zhang Desheng how Dai County and several nearby counties joined forces with the government and army to fight against the bandits, and Zhang Desheng nodded repeatedly.

After all, Qin Shuhuai said sincerely, "Boss Zhang, the main reason for the increasing banditry in Jinzhong is that there are more officials and soldiers to suppress and suppress more. We must admit this. I am here this time to change this situation. However, now The banditry has reached such a level that it is extremely difficult to rely solely on the officers and soldiers to suppress it. But if the common people can cooperate with us, and everyone works together, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort. I can guarantee that if all the people in Shanxi cooperate with me, within half a year I will defeat Zhang Xianzhong, and let your Dachang store reopen to Jinnan! Boss Zhang, do you believe it or not?"

Zhang Desheng believed it, he believed it 100%!

If Qin Shuhuai, who is famous all over the world and known as the "Monster of Ming Dynasty", can't wipe out these rogue bandits, then there will be no one in the world who can wipe them out!

Zhang Desheng was a little excited again.

Because Qin Shuhuai was talking to him sincerely and sincerely.

At that time, the crown prince Taibao, the scholar of Wuyingdian, the imperial envoy, the famous leader of the Jianghe gang in the martial arts world, the legendary "monster of Ming Dynasty", Qin Shuhuai, who was admired by all the people in the world, would talk to him like a commoner so sincerely.

Surprised, frightened, and excited, he felt a rush of pride spontaneously.

From the soles of the feet straight to the sky!
Even if you don't dare to go to the battlefield, don't you dare to tell the truth and do something for Qin Shaobao to suppress the bandits?

So he immediately said, "Qin Shaobao, Desheng has been taught. No one can stay out of the fight against the bandits. If we don't help you today, the bandits will invade Taiyuan tomorrow. We don't even want to do business in Jinzhong! What do you want to know?" , even if you ask, I will know everything without saying anything.”

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "Okay, great! Boss Zhang, tell me all the companies you know that buy salt and grain supplies for Zhang Xianzhong. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone."

Zhang Desheng said, "Okay. Shaobao, the ones who purchase salt and food supplies for the bandit Zhang Xianzhong now are Dasheng Salt Company, Dakui Salt Company, Xuji Rice Company, and Xingwang Grain Company. These four companies are because of The head office is all in Taiyuan Prefecture, so they have some friendship with our Zhang family, so I know them quite well. Of course, they did these things in secret. Although there are rumors in the government, they dare not label them without real evidence. , It is said that there are also people in their court."

Qin Shuhuai sneered, "Do they still need someone from the court? I'm afraid that most of the officials in Jinzhong are from them, right?"

Zhang Desheng smiled wryly, "Shao Bao is wise, that's exactly the case. Apart from Governor Yang, there must be no officials in Jinzhong who are greedy."

"Governor Yang is not greedy?"

"Anyway, he confiscated our Zhang family's money."

Qin Shuhuai was a little surprised, and thought to himself, could this Yang He just know how to suppress bandits and not be greedy?
But I didn't think too much about it right now, and continued the topic just now, "Are the four companies you mentioned just now have their head offices in Taiyuan Prefecture?"

Zhang Desheng nodded, "That's right."

"Then you say they purchased money, food and materials for Zhang Xianzhong, do you have evidence?"

Zhang Desheng said with a look of embarrassment, "Is there any evidence...there is no evidence."

"Then how do you know this?"

"We didn't know at first. But later, I heard from the guys that since the bandits in southern Shanxi, their cavalry always went south, and they were fine every time. I wondered if they found a bandit that the bandits didn't know about." Small road? If there is, then we can follow it. You must know that the profit of selling things to the south is extremely high. Later, I bought a boy from their cavalry team, and the boy told me that they took the official road. , but no bandits came to rob them. And the salt and grain were not transported to the major shops, but were transported to a forest every time, and then a group of strong men came to pick them up. Like a good guy. Shaobao, isn't that obvious enough?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "It's obvious enough. Boss Zhang, do you want to do this good business?"
