Chapter 923 Confucian Business Association

Lin Zhizhou looked embarrassed: "Princess, your words are simply trying to hide me. How could I let Xiaguan know about the Qin family's weaknesses? Xiaguan only knows that they are the largest merchants in Lanzhou and have joined the Confucian Chamber of Commerce in recent years. After that, they became like a fish in water, not to mention Lanzhou, but also big cities like Pingzhou and Quanzhou had their business."

He is a small official in Lanzhou. Although he is also the governor of the state, his official stature and power are different from those of his parents in other cities. How can he compete with the people from the Confucian Chamber of Commerce?

Therefore, he really doesn't have the Qin family's weaknesses and handles that Yuan Bao wants.

Yuan Bao was a little disappointed. She knew that the competition between various states and cities was serious, but she didn't know that Lin Zhizhou was so small. Alas, it seems that if she wants to do things well, she needs to develop more connections in the officialdom!

"Thank you Lord Zhizhou for telling me these things, but I want to know, the Confucian Chamber of Commerce...?"

Yuanbao's business is neither big nor small. Although she earns enough money, in the final analysis she is still stuck in the "farmer" class. She knows nothing about the business world.

I only know that Pei Yu’s family is the richest man in the An Dynasty, and half of the business in the entire dynasty belongs to their family. What about the others?The Confucian Business Association was a completely new term to her.

Lin Zhizhou explained: "The Confucian Chamber of Commerce, as its name suggests, are businessmen who are backed by aristocratic Confucian families and come from aristocratic families.

Although it smells a little like copper, the status of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce is far lower than that of scholars, but it is much better than ordinary merchants. It is basically the leader of the merchant class.

Princess, when the official says this, you should understand why the Qin family dares to offend you so unscrupulously, right? "

"As soon as you enter the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, all the complications will be involved. As long as it is not a particularly big disaster, the Qin family will be protected in order to maintain the reputation of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce. Tsk! What a rogue force! Master Zhizhou, do you know how to join the Confucian Chamber of Commerce? ?" Yuan Bao asked.

Lin Zhizhou: "How can I, a small official, know these things? But...if you insist on talking about the Qin family's weaknesses, I know one thing. I don't know if I can help the princess."

"Please tell me." "Ahem! The princess must also know that Qin Yulong is a playboy, right?"

"Yes." Yuan Bao nodded, "He hangs out in brothels and gambling houses, he is a complete playboy."

Seeing that she didn't mean to be too shy, Lin Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Yes, Qin Yulong is a restless master, so he owes a lot of debts, both overtly and covertly. The Qin family head and his sister Qin Yuyan You don’t even know these things, so if the princess wants to show off to the Qin family, she might as well start from this aspect."

"I understand." After thinking for a moment, Yuan Bao immediately beamed, "Since Qin Yulong has debts outside, things will be much easier to handle. Leng Shuang Qiuyu, come here."

"What's your order, miss?"

Yuan Bao went into the house and took out a stack of silver notes, and handed two-thirds to Leng Shuang, "You go to the brothels and gambling houses in the city to see where Qin Yulong's debts are, and collect all the IOUs. Rather than doing The daughter-in-law of the Qin family, this princess is more inclined to be their creditor! "

"Yes!"

After taking the banknote, Leng Shuangqiuyu went to do things overnight, but most brothels and gambling houses like to operate at night.

After explaining these things, Yuanbao sat down again, put the remaining banknotes in front of Lin Zhizhou, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder today, Master Zhizhou. I heard that the bridge over the Nantang River in the city is broken, making it very difficult for people to travel. Conveniently, these 2000 taels of silver should be donated by me to make money, Lord Zhizhou, please keep it."

"This! This is absolutely impossible." Lin Zhizhou was shocked, 2000 taels of silver?In Lanzhou, building ten bridges is more than enough.

Yuan Bao raised his hand to stop him from paying back the money, "Now that the bridge is repaired, Lord Zhizhou will be able to add to his achievements. I will have something to say when I write a note to the emperor at the end of the year, right?"
