Chapter 249 Miss Ning’s big plan

Capital, Jiang family.

Zhang Zhou's brother-in-law Jiang Shantong directed a group of people to carry large and small boxes of silver and copper coins into the yard, and then brought the accounts to see Jiang Dezhong.

"Haha, let's just say that this capital is full of gold, thanks to my virtuous son-in-law Bingkuan. Go and bring over the fine wine he sent. I want to drink two glasses of it today."

Jiang Dezhong was very proud.

Comrade Jiang Shan said: "Father, drinking can easily cause trouble. You will have to meet people from the Governor's Mansion later. It would be bad if someone smells alcohol all over you."

"My good son-in-law is the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion. I asked Bingkuan, even if he is just a false Commander-in-Chief, the weight of his words is much greater than those of the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army! Didn't you see that the Beijing Camp has been talking to

When we do business, we never owe money on credit? We even send money in advance! This is called power."

"But father, you said before that from now on, the decision-making power for family affairs rests with my brother-in-law."

Jiang Shantong was somewhat dissatisfied with this.

I am your eldest son, and you entrust family decision-making power to outsiders?

Jiang Dezhong glared at him and said: "Zhang, Jiang, as a father, you have to distinguish clearly. You don't have to tell me, you must have that strength first before you are qualified to talk about anything else. Go and get some wine, you will be knocked down if you don't drink."

"yes."

…

…

Zhang Zhou met Ning Tong in the teahouse before sunset in the afternoon.

At this time, Ning Tong was dressed very simply. She did not look like the wealthy person who once wore gold and silver. She seemed to have deliberately used coarse cloth and hairpin clothes to show that she was now "down and out".

"Mrs. Zhu, why are you in such a state? Are you afraid of showing your wealth in front of others?" Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Ning Tong was very polite to Zhang Zhou and asked him to sit at the tea table. She also looked at the plainclothes guards standing at the door.

"The little girl is no longer Mrs. Zhu. Please don't call me Mrs. Zhang by mistake. The little girl has to get away and don't have to worry about the past. She has nothing to offer, so that's all she can do."

Ning Tong looked very emotional.

In other words, it is "cleansing oneself and leaving the house". Of course, in these days, it is impossible to divide the family property after reconciliation.

After all, Zhang Zhou felt that Zhu Feng was very affectionate.

"Miss Ning, do you think I haven't met Zhijie? He said that all your dowry will be returned to you. I heard that your Ning family gave you a lot of dowry. In the past few years, you have spent a lot of money on food and accommodation.

In the Duke's Mansion, personal use doesn't seem to cost much, right?"

"Um……"

Ning Tong's face didn't look good.

I originally wanted to pretend to be poor in front of Zhang Zhou, but Zhang Zhou exposed me later.

She felt annoyed that someone had seen through her cards.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "If your life is not going well, you can tell me, I... will tell you, he will be responsible for the rest of your life no matter what, and I will help you plan."

"No need." Ning Tong refused directly, "The little girl doesn't need Zhang Daguan to help her. In the future, the little girl wants to start a small business, be self-reliant, and no longer be dependent on anyone."

"oh."

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Ning Tong wants to do business and become a strong business woman, which doesn't sound bad. Ning Tong is one of the few independent women he has seen in this era.

You just do business, and you actually come to me... That only means that the project you want to run is related to me, and you want to get some political convenience from me.

As for you wearing Jingchai cloth in front of me, it is to show that you are poor and to arouse pity.

"It's difficult for a woman to manage for a long time in this world, or can someone give Miss Ning some pointers?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Ning Tong said: "When I was in the Chengguo Palace, I did business with outsiders for Anbian Marquis. I met a girl who was selling salt in the south of the Yangtze River. The business was doing well. Now she heard about the procurement of the governor's office in the north and other yamen.

It is conducted by bidding, and outsiders can participate and discuss with me to join in this business of buying high and selling low."

Zhang Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this and nodded to express his understanding.

This means... she was probably the daughter of the Chen family who briefly appeared when Zhu Feng was engaged in the wood and stone business while purchasing for the reconstruction of Qingning Palace.

"Has she not returned to Nanjing yet?" Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

Ning Tong frowned and asked, "Why does she want to go back?"

"Yes, she has done business with Zhijie, and she knows Zhijie's straightforward nature in doing business. In addition, she has a personal relationship with you. She would lend an olive branch to you when you were in trouble to make you appreciate his kindness and encourage you.

Doing business as a merchant... Having said that, you are not a merchant at all, you are basically a tooth merchant. It is best for you women to stay away from the business of buying and selling houses and shops. Without the support of the powerful people in the court, this business cannot continue."

Zhang Zhou saw it very clearly.

Does Chen's daughter have feelings for Ning Tong? Her husband has a man outside, and his wife has a woman outside?

The Chen family daughter was basically speculating, but Zhang Zhou actually had no idea what the relationship between Ning Tong and the Chen family daughter was like.

"So I came to find you." Ning Tong said.

Zhang Zhou picked up the tea cup and put it down before taking a sip. He frowned and said, "You are so direct. Why should I help you?"

Ning Tong looked at Zhang Zhou with wide eyes, her eyes seemed to say, don't you know why I came to you?

"Answer!" Zhang Zhou was not like Zhu Feng, who would tolerate her mistakes.

Ning Tong said with determination on her face: "Because only you can help me, unless you want me to live in vain or live on the streets in the future."

I wipe it.

Zhang Zhouxin said, this is moral kidnapping.

"Only I can help you, so I will help you. Miss Ning, are you too pushy to make things difficult for others? Collusion between officials and businessmen has always been something the imperial court wants to crack down on. With my current status and wealth, I can't look down on that.

Yinzi, there’s no need to make a fuss about helping you, why don’t you tell me, do you have any more impressive reasons?”

Zhang Zhou didn't want to be taken advantage of for no reason.

Ning Tong said: "There is another reason. Your father-in-law is not worthy of taking care of your business."

"Oh? Tell me."

"I learned from the sister of the Chen family that your father-in-law, the Jiang family, took over the procurement business of the Dudu Mansion. In the name of bidding, he secretly colluded with the people of the Dudu Mansion and found people to make fake bids, but those who really wanted to bid were disappointed.

There was no way out. In the end, the winning bidders were all Jiang family members or people around him. Do you dare to entrust such a person with important responsibilities?"

Ning Tong was chatting eloquently, and it was obvious that someone had given her a lesson before coming here.

The first step for a strong woman to enter society is to understand the dangers of this world.

Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded: "Very good, what you said is called bidding, because the supervision of bidding is not perfect now. To put it bluntly, someone wants to send money to me. If there is no way, just send it to me, Lao Taishan."

Even if I don't need these benefits, or I want to block the Jiang family's source of benefits, why should I give the benefits to you and the Chen woman behind you?"

Ning Tong bit her lower lip. After thinking about it, she couldn't answer.

"There are irregularities in the Jiang family, but the basic rules are still followed. Since there is no supervision, supervision will be strengthened in the future. Now you want me to move this kind of private giving and receiving from the Jiang family to you

The two of you are giving money to you, how is this possible?"

Zhang Zhou is smiling.

You, Ning Tong, only see the benefits, or the benefits I can bring to you, but you have not considered why I should give you the benefits.

Ning Tong said: "I don't ask you to help me all the time, I only ask you to help me once."

"once?"

"Yes, it is about rebuilding the city of Pianguan Pass, which requires a lot of stone, adobe bricks and wood. The capital will allocate a large number of wood and stone materials to Pianguan Pass."

Ning Tong is very purposeful.

Zhang Zhou made some calculations and said: "The wood and stone materials prepared by the capital are worth more than one hundred thousand taels. Can you and that Chen's daughter sustain this kind of business?"

"It all depends on man."

Ning Tong meant that he was certain of this business.

Projects such as rebuilding the Qingning Palace are basically taken over by powerful people, but a powerful person can't spend less than 100,000 taels. It is more necessary for the court to allocate the money before each family purchases it, so the person who takes the order must be Xungui.

One that has its own strength and credibility.

The Ning family daughter was just a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. Considering the value of silver during the Hongzhi period before South American silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty in large quantities, the Ning family daughter wanted to monopolize this business, which was a bit like a snake swallowing an elephant.

"According to my estimation, you can't come up with too much money, so you need my help. In this way, after the bidding, the money can be transferred as soon as possible, and the wood and stone materials on the market can be purchased and completed as soon as possible, and then shipped to customs.

?”

"yes!"

Zhang Zhou thought to himself.

Ning Tong, Ning Tong, you are really a flower in the greenhouse.
