Going out from Ruili Gate on the south side of King Wen Palace is a wide road that runs through the exterior wall of Chengdu Mansion. There are railings on both sides, separating the horse path, trails and shops one by one.

Yao Ruoyu wore a fur coat, a cotton hat, black boots and breeches. Under Xie Kai and the entourage of five servants, he walked out of the small door next to Ruili Gate, mixed into the crowd, and wandered along the official road.

Wenbang has occupied Chengdu for several months. Under several government orders issued by the Ministry of Personnel, most of the people have accepted Wenbang. Moreover, today is the first day of the first lunar month, with crowds surging on the streets, men and women coming and going, one after another, and it is full of liveliness.

Several people visited several shops in succession, mostly selling silk clothes, and occasionally there were one or two pharmacies, and Yao Ruoyu gradually lost interest.

Xie Kai observed his expression and smiled and said, "Wang..." Before he could finish his words, Yao Ruoyu had already shook his eyes. Xie Kai quickly changed his words, "Young Master, there is a street in front of you, which is the branch of Wenzhou Commercial Bank. There are many things there, why not go there to take a look?"

Yao Ruoyu nodded when he heard this and signaled Xie Kai to lead the way. The group turned left at the next intersection, walked for a while, and came to the newly built branch of Wenzhou Commercial Bank in Chengdu Prefecture.

Compared with the shops along the street before, the storefront of Wenzhou Commercial Bank is undoubtedly many times larger. The width of the storefront facing the street is nine times that of ordinary shops. It has three passages, high-eaves and giant doors, and there is a white jade elephant sculpture on both sides. The door is filled with people, which is much more lively than the previous street.

As if he saw that Yao Ruoyu and others had extraordinary identities, a waiter waved his sleeve and greeted him with a smile: "Customer, are you here to shop? Then come to our Wenzhou business store to see. We have good quality and cheapness here. There are agate pearls from the Southern Barbarians, Mongolian horses, and rare antiques from the Song Dynasty. There are everything."

"Go in and take a look." Yao Ruoyu nodded and walked into the business.

It was a coincidence that as soon as the group entered the business, a middle-aged man came out of the face, which was Ji Lun, the second-in-commander of Wenzhou business in Wenbang.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu, Ji Lun was slightly stunned, then looked surprised, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute, but Yao Ruoyu helped him and said with a smile: "No need to be too polite, Storekeeper Ji, it's been a long time since I saw you. How is the business of the business in the recent past?"

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu was dressed in ordinary clothes, Ji Lun also knew that he was visiting privately and did not point it out. He smiled and said, "For concern, Dawen's Western Expedition, we will open the branch all over Sichuan. The Wenzhou headquarters also praised the young lady very much, but the young lady was stubborn and did not go back this time for the Chinese New Year, so she stayed here to manage affairs."

"Oh? Diandian didn't go back to Wenzhou? Then is she here now?" Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"I'm here, right behind, please come here." Ji Lun quickly reached out to lead the people through the vestibule and walked into the atrium.

The atrium is a flower garden, with pavilions and towers and gurgling streams. Yao Ruoyu glanced at it and saw that the pavilions were brightly painted and the soil in the flower garden was also very loose. It was obvious that it had just been renovated.

The office space of Bingdiandian was in an attic on the left side of the atrium. When the group came to the door, Ji Lun raised his hand and knocked on it. He pushed open the door and moved away. Yao Ruoyu was not polite and walked straight in. Seeing Bingdiandian sitting behind the desk, frowned, looking down at an account book, his face full of unhappiness.

Yao Ruoyu was happy when he saw this and said with a smile: "Diandian, what's wrong?"

Hearing his voice, Bing Diandian hurriedly looked up and saw that it was Yao Ruoyu. He immediately flattered his mouth and said aggrievedly: "Brother Yao!"

When he came to sit next to him, Yao Ruoyu clicked the table and signaled Xie Kai to make tea, then smiled and said, "As soon as he came in, I saw that you were unhappy, and you could even hang a pot of oil in your mouth. Tell me, who made you angry? Could it be that you confessed to Song Kai and he refused?"

Although Bing Diandian is cheerful and lively, he is an unemployed girl after all. How could Yao Ruoyu bear such blunt teasing? He immediately blushed and said coquettishly: "Brother Yao, what are you talking about! Who will confess to that guy..."

"What's going on?" Yao Ruoyu suddenly realized something and chuckled, "Why, business is not good recently?"

Bing Diandian puffed up his cheeks, nodded in depression, got up and sat down to his right hand, held his chin, and pouted, "It's not that bastard in Yuzhou Trading Company. He simply doesn't have the morality that a businessman should have. He always uses all kinds of despicable means to annex other shops in Chengdu, and then keeps lowering prices to attract customers..."

"There is no problem in the price war, but are you sure they are using despicable means to annex other shops?" Raising his eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu looked at Bing Diandian with a smile.

The latter's face turned red, and he twisted for a while before pouting, "It's just hateful anyway!"

Yao Ruoyu was happy. Bing Diandian was obviously at a disadvantage in the business war with Yuzhou Commercial Bank, but this little girl was honest. Although she was ashamed and annoyed, she did not talk nonsense about throwing sewage to the other party.

However, before this thought could be turned around in my mind, Bing Diandian came up mysteriously and whispered: "But Brother Yao, it's not that I'm talking nonsense. Yuzhou Commercial Bank does not follow the rules. Like our Wenzhou Commercial Bank, we have been investing in Wenbang for several years and have always been in good manner. We never touched things like salt and iron, but they are different. We touched each one. It is said that they openly sold military weapons."

Originally, Yao Ruoyu thought the other party could not hold back and finally poured sewage, but when he heard it, his face was slightly awesome. He sold salt and iron, and weapons could tolerate them, but military weapons had already touched his forbidden area.

Wenbang has risen since Hezhou and has developed to this day. The reason why it has been generally stable is that General Yao Ruoyu has firmly controlled the power of the military and he would not care about selling weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, but military weapons are absolutely unwilling tolerate them.

With a slight narrowed eyes, Yao Ruoyu pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Wenbang seemed to have no regulations on salt and iron weapons so far.

Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai are limited by their modern backgrounds, so their thinking is definitely limited, but he doesn't believe in Bai Qiuyu, Duan Chun and others, especially Duan Chun, who is in charge of the Ministry of Works, is the area he is responsible for.

With a sneer, Yao Ruoyu slapped the table and said lightly: "Where is Yuzhou Commercial Bank?"

Seeing this, Bingdian was immediately happy and quickly stood up and said, "It's not far from here on Chenghui Street. They happened to have an auction today, saying that there will be a lot of prohibited items. Brother Yao, let's go and have a look!"

"Let's go." Yao Ruoyu shook his sleeves and walked out of the house with a cold expression. Xie Kai quickly followed, and finally he was like a fox stole a fishy ice spot.

*—*—*—*—*

Yuzhou Commercial Bank rose in Chongqing Prefecture and dared to be known as Chongqing in ancient times. The strength of the Commercial Bank is undoubtedly.

As a family business, they are not like other families who fight in internal conflicts and are extremely united internally. There will be several tribe members with amazing business talents in each generation, and there has never been a situation where they are not allowed to meet.

In fact, if the president of Wenzhou Commercial Bank had not emerged twenty years ago and controlled Wenzhou Commercial Bank to sweep China, the name of China's No. 1 Commercial Bank might have fallen on Yuzhou Commercial Bank.

Even so, after the efforts of several generations of tribes, the Yuzhou Commercial Bank has become stronger and stronger, with Song, Jin, Meng and Man all having their branches.

The Xu family in charge of the Chongqing Prefecture was the Xu family. His clan leader Xu Dezhang was a wide network of contacts and was also a guest of honor for Xu Jingmiao, the governor of Chongqing Prefecture.

The Song Dynasty respected Confucianism. Since ancient times, the focus was on scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. The merchants had a low status. Although the Xu family had strong financial resources and broad communication, they did not receive much respect in front of other military generals and officials except Xu Jingmiao.

After Wenbang unified Sichuan and Sichuan, its policies gradually spread, and the point of valuing business also attracted the attention of Yuzhou Commercial Bank. After several meetings, the family finally decided to send people to Chengdu Prefecture to open a branch to observe Wenbang's attitude towards merchants.

Among the young people of the Xu family generation, three were the leader. This time, the one who went to Chengdu Prefecture to serve as a pioneer was one of the three, Xu Qiuling, the youngest son of the branch Le Wen Xu family.

At this time, Xu Qiuling was standing in the attic in the backyard of the shop. This place was specially built by him when he was purchasing this shop. The angle was unique and it could overlook the panoramic view of the front yard, but it was difficult to notice him in the front yard.

Unlike other stores such as Wenzhou Trading Company, the branch of Yuzhou Trading Company in Chengdu Prefecture is more similar to a market. There are a square in the middle, with stalls and houses on both sides, selling medicine, cloth, food, etc.

Looking at the people coming and going in the front yard, Xu Qiuling's pupils were slightly dissipated. It was obvious that his attention was not on the front yard, but he was wandering around himself.

When he arrived in Chengdu, five days after Wenbang occupied this place, he first arrived here with a thunderous momentum, and took advantage of the opportunity of Song Kai slaughtering the aristocratic family to purchase shops left over from the extermination family. Today, this Chenghui Street has basically been included in his hands.

As of now, there are seven large-scale commercial banks in the huge Chengdu Prefecture to build shops here. Among them, the first to invest in Wenbang. Wenzhou commercial banks with abundant connections in the Dawen government and the country were also gradually retreated under his plan.

Moreover, Wenbang did not care about salt and iron transactions, so he set up a loft in the business, selling various weapons, and dug up several craftsmen who knew how to carve spiritual patterns and talismans, making Yuzhou business more famous in the city.

Although he has achieved such a result, Xu Qiuling's face has rarely seen a smile in the past few days, and his face is solemn all day long.

Only he knew that among the three most outstanding people in the younger generation of the Xu family, he and one of them had already lost in the initial competition, so he was assigned to open up the market. Only the second son of the Xu family's direct descendant was in Chongqing Prefecture and took charge of 80% of the Xu family's business.

As an himself who was approaching exiled to Sichuan and Shu, Xu Qiuling originally planned to use Chengdu as his base to prove his abilities to the clan, but unexpectedly, he swallowed up several local businesses and attracted the attention of Duan Chun, the Minister of Works.

In just a few days, three of the many businesses he had annexed were seized. The reason was nothing more than a suspect of colluding with the jinshi. If he had not come to Duan Chun's mansion to give gifts in time, all branches of Yuzhou Trading Company in Sichuan and Shu might have become history.

However, no matter how difficult it is, Xu Qiuling will not give up.

During this period, he has been planning a plan that can bring himself to defeat Duan Chun, and at the same time he has the opportunity to fight the man in the clan, thereby mastering the Xu family's opportunity.

However, the most critical thing about this plan is that Wenzhou Commercial Bank, which has been suppressed by itself through various means these days.

With the unyielding personality of the daughter-in-law and her intentional and blatant smuggling military-made weapons, she will definitely tell the story to Wenbang's senior management.

The most likely one is Song Kai, the newly appointed president of Yitong Academy, and Yao Ruoyu, the leader of Wenbang.

Whether the former is ruthless or the latter has not yet figured it out, these two are not ordinary people, and what they need is to get to know them for some reason.

As long as he gets to know him, he can find opportunities to climb the giant boat of Wenbang.

In the Song Dynasty, Confucian masters often said that the literary country was a barbarian country, and did not respect the words of saints, and valued merchants. But for him, this was the greatest opportunity for him to get rid of his destiny and turn into a dragon with golden scales!
