Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 337 Chapter 335
"Master, this time I went to the south of the Yangtze River and went to see Zhang Boyu's Zhuangzi. The Zhuangzi is huge and well-decorated. It is located by the sea, which meets the requirements of the young master. Now I have arranged for people to renovate it."

Bai Zhi said softly, talking about some arrangements during this time one by one.

It went smoothly for her to return to Shiwan Dashan. After all, she also had the aura of Jiuyou on her body, so she could become a saint smoothly.

Zhang Boyu had already brought his family to Li County and lived in Zhili City, so Zhuangzi was sold to Song Yuanxuan.

Song Yuanxuan intends to set up a business department, with Zhang Boyu as the head, so that all the businesses under his name can be handed over to him.

His family members are all in Zhili City, so there is no need to worry about him having other thoughts, and with Yue Huaili, Luo Qingcheng, and Xue Xia watching, Song Yuanxuan feels that Zhang Boyu should be a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"I don't worry about entrusting this matter to you. How are things in Jiangnan going?"

Song Yuanxuan asked, picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea slowly.

The tea is still ginseng and deer antler tea, and the women in the family are still nourishing his blood for fear that he will lose his health.

It's just that he was really weak before, but now he is singing every night, just afraid that he will lose his health.

Bai Zhi said in a low voice: "Young Master, we are still investigating, but there are many collusions between government and businessmen in Jiangzhou, among which the Chen family is the leader, the Chen family is the second richest businessman in Jiangzhou, and they are very close to Zhizhou.

According to folk rumors, Zhizhou is under the control of the Chen family, and the Chen family is also a salt merchant, but they also manufacture private salt in private, and the silver that is embezzled every year is as high as tens of millions of taels. "

In this era, the profit of salt was huge, and the price was not low, and it was always controlled by the imperial court.

But such a piece of fat, the salt merchants will definitely be staring at it. It is very normal for them to make some private salt in private. As long as it is not too much, the court often turns a blind eye.

It's just that people like the Chen family sell tens of millions of taels of private salt a year, which has already touched the root.

The Chen family is a wealthy businessman in Jiangzhou, and it is absolutely impossible for the governor of Jiangzhou not to know about it, so Song Yuanxuan felt that this might have implicated the entire Jiangzhou officialdom.

Yan Danchen told him before that the Chen family is one of the best merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but they didn't expect to be ranked second in Jiangzhou, which made Song Yuanxuan unavoidably curious.

"The Chen family can only be ranked second? So who is the richest businessman in Jiangzhou?" Song Yuanxuan asked.

Bai Zhi said in a low voice: "It's the Zhou family. The Zhou family first started out as a tea business, and the tea gang was created by the Zhou family. Over the years, they have expanded to various businesses.

It's just that the Zhou family keeps a low profile and doesn't have much contact with people in the officialdom. Even if they give some gifts during the New Year and holidays, they rarely show it outside.

This is different from the Chen family, and the reputation of the Zhou family is also very good among the people. People in the two states in the south of the Yangtze River are willing to take the initiative to buy things from the Zhou family.

The Zhou family has opened many shops in Jiangnan, and they sell a variety of things, ranging from condiments for daily life, such as various sauces, and some daily necessities, such as toothbrushes and the like.

As far as furniture is concerned, they have built several huge workshops, recruited many craftsmen, and have been researching the styles of furniture. Therefore, almost all the furniture in the homes of the people in the south of the Yangtze River comes from the Zhou family.

They also deal in silk and ready-made clothes, which can be said to be connected with thousands of people. There is a saying in Jiangnan that if there is no Zhou family in Jiangnan, the lives of ordinary people will not be able to survive. "

Song Yuanxuan's heart moved, he didn't expect that there would be such a rich businessman who subtly changed the shopping habits of the common people, this is the real master.

Before Zhang Boyu came to Zhili City, he was the deputy head of the tea gang, and he was very talented in business. The tea gang was founded by the Zhou family, which shows that the Zhou family should be even more powerful.

"Go back to Jiangnan and continue the investigation. First, collect some evidence of collusion between the Chen family and officials. This matter is not urgent, take your time. As for the Zhou family, you should also investigate carefully.

This time you came back from Shiwan Dashan, you have worked hard, rest in Zhili City for a few days before you leave, I have prepared a few Zhuangzi for you in Zhili City.

It can be used as a stronghold for weeds in the future, and you can take it over when the time comes. I didn't tell anyone about it, and the title deed is with me. "

While talking, Song Yuanxuan took out a stack of land deeds from his arms, and handed them to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi took the title deed, shook her head and said: "Master, I'm not tired, I have achieved a little bit in martial arts, and I have just formed internal strength, so my body is much stronger than before.

I will leave early tomorrow morning, and then I won't say goodbye to the young master. There are many things going on in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have to make arrangements so as not to miss the young master's affairs. "

Song Yuanxuan thought for a while, took out a sign from his arms, and handed it to Bai Zhi.

"You keep this sign, and you can enter and leave Zhili City freely. I am going to set up an Anbu, and you will be the head of the Anbu. This matter will not be known to everyone, but only to some important people in Zhili City."

Song Yuanxuan looked serious, and reached out to pat Bai Zhi's arm.

Bai Zhi knelt in front of him, touched his feet with her forehead again, choked up and said, "Thank you, young master, for your trust."

"Trust is mutual. It is because you trust me and open your heart to me that I trust you. I think you have no selfishness towards me, and that's enough."

Song Yuanxuan stretched out his hand to help her up, his eyes showed some firmness, and there was a vague gloom floating around.

At this moment, he always has the demeanor of a handsome young man, his eyes are like stars, dark and clear, but with the power to attract people's hearts and minds.

Bai Zhi's heart trembled, she clenched the token in her hand, bowed and said: "Master, then I will go down first."

Song Yuanxuan nodded, Bai Zhi turned and left, when she walked out of the front hall, the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist.

Her feelings for Song Yuanxuan are very complicated, there are feelings of gratitude, admiration, and love between men and women, but she only shows surrender.

In any case, she felt that she was not beautiful enough, and she was not perfect. Being with Song Yuanxuan would be a blasphemy to him, so she never went beyond half a step.

There was some warmth in the wind, Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows and took a look, the sky was blue and the clouds were soft, she couldn't help murmuring: "Spring is here."

Spring has indeed arrived, and the grass in the outer city of Zhili City is gradually turning green. Even though it has just experienced heavy snow, the grass is indeed alive.

Although it is still chilly, this kind of vitality is completely different from that of winter.

Song Yuanxuan stood at the door of the front hall, watching Bai Zhi's figure drifting away, her waist twisted as if she had no bones, it was a real snake's waist.

Wen Boqiu's voice came from behind him: "Congratulations uncle."

"Where does the joy come from?" Song Yuanxuan didn't turn his head.

Wen Boqiu smiled slightly: "With the help of a hundred thousand mountains, my uncle has a way out, so I can feel at ease. If I can feel at ease, then I won't be tied down when doing things for my uncle."

Song Yuanxuan was taken aback, Wen Boqiu's words were very meaningful.

If there is no way out, Wen Boqiu and the others always have to consider the court's reaction when they do things, and they cannot maximize their interests, but if they have a way out, they will not be afraid of the court when they do things.

He turned around, his eyes fell on Wen Boqiu's face, and he saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Dichi! We will have a meeting later, I have something to announce, let Zhang Boyu come with me."

"Then I'll go and inform them right away." Wen Boqiu nodded with appreciation in his eyes.
