Qiao Zun and Xia Qiangjun had never had a tacit understanding, and they stood at the back door of the small courtyard in unison, each holding a simple wooden box in their hands.

The door opened with a creak, Yun Shuang poked her head and walked out from the back door. No one was around, and she waved her hands towards Qiao Zun.

Seeing this, the two men hurried forward. Although they were only Princess Changping's personal maids, they knew the princess's habits best. If they wanted to know how to calm the princess down, they could only start here.

Jiang Ning would never have imagined that the two top leaders of Hangzhou, Grand Administrator Qiao Zun and General Xia Chunqiu, would suddenly appear in the hall of the Wang family.

When Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan were called to the hall, Qiao Zun and Xia Chunqiu were sitting on the upper seats. On the left and right rows were Wang Yunshan and several elders from the clan. Corresponding to them were the three brothers Wang Gongyong and the shopkeepers in charge of the three families.

Wang Xinghe and others of the younger generation stood behind their father. When they heard Qiao Zun and Xia Chunqiu laughing, they knew that these two people were having a great time chatting with Wang Yunshan.

"Oh, let's talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here. Mr. Jiang has been away for a few days. You are fine." Qiao Zun had already stood up and said to Jiang Ning who stepped in with one foot.

Xia Chunqiu also stood up and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for a few days, Young Master Jiang is in good spirits, oh? This must be Miss Wang Ruoyan, haha, I didn't expect that Young Master Jiang is also the owner of a beautiful woman in a golden house, hahaha..."

Qiao Zun immediately interrupted: "General, what you said is that Mr. Jiang is the first talented person in Jiangnan. His collection of poems has been published and is unparalleled in the world. Luoyang is rich in paper. Miss Wang is also a genius in the business world. Don't you know?"

Xia Chunqiu hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, but I don't mean to return the favor. I'm a rough guy. I finally remembered two words, but I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. Haha..."

The two sang together, but everyone present was stunned. What are they two? Who is Jiang Ning? First, he came directly to the hall without invitation and asked to see Jiang Ning and his wife by name. Wang Yunshan informed the important people in the family to put down their hands.

The work was well received, and I didn't dare to show any slightness. Judging from the attitude of these two people, they didn't mean to cause trouble, but they were really flattered when they came together.

An official is an official, and a businessman is a businessman. The level gap between the two is huge. Even the person who came here last time to tell the story, the Wang family has to take care of him.

Jiang Ning was stunned outside the door. Wang Ruoyan followed him without feeling numb. When the two of them saw these two adults, they had to kneel down to salute first, but now these two stood up first. What is going on?

"What are you doing standing still? Come on, come on, Mr. Jiang, why don't you recognize me?" Qiao Zun took two steps forward. Wang Yunshan panicked and stood up in a hurry to follow. Everyone except Wang Gongyong also stood up.

Only then did Jiang Ning react. He hurriedly pulled Wang Ruoyan and walked two steps quickly, arriving in front of Qiao Zun and Xia Chunqiu: "Jiang Ning, Wang Ruoyan has met the prefect and the general."

Xia Chunqiu chuckled, took two steps forward and raised Jiang Ning's arm: "Hey, I've seen foreigners, I've seen foreigners. Although I'm just a common man, I also cherish talents. I have produced a talented man in Hangzhou who is the best in Jiangnan. He must be good.

Life protection, if anything goes wrong, you all have to come forward one by one, do you hear me?"

The two generals standing behind them raised their hands and said, "Yes..."

Has Jiang Ning's status in Hangzhou reached this level? Even Wang Yunshan didn't expect that although Jiang Ning made a splash at the Poetry Festival, and everyone in the house went to see Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan, and had some wine and food, but there was no

I never thought it would cause such a big sensation.

Wang Xinghe and Wang Suwen had dark clouds on their faces. How could a little son-in-law be so favored by the prefect and the general? Do the Wang family really have to rely on him, Jiang Ning? After the Wang family, who is Jiang Ning?

Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "Hey, the general's words are serious. The general is so powerful that the thieves are frightened by the news. The refugees were in chaos before. If the prefect and the general were not sitting firmly in the army and strategizing, how could Hangzhou have such a peaceful and prosperous age?"

Qiao Zun chuckled: "Haha, having said that, everyone present has also made great efforts. Otherwise, even if we have thousands of strategies, no one will implement them, and the people will not cooperate, there will be nothing we can do, haha..."

"I remember that the Wang family took out their stored grain to help the victims. Is this the case?" Xia Chunqiu frowned and asked.

Wang Yunshan hurriedly stepped forward: "Indeed, this happened, and it was Gongyong who was responsible for it. In the thirteen days of disaster relief, two-thirds of the Wang family's grain reserves were consumed, and they spent more money to buy some, and finally managed to save their lives.

Two years of growing grain.”

Qiao Zun nodded, looked at Xia Chunqiu and said, "In this case, I feel that the Wang family has contributed to the disaster relief, and the silk business is sold both at home and abroad, so I should give some rewards. What do you think, General?"

Xia Chunqiu nodded: "I think it's okay. If anything happens in the future, I'll have to trouble the Wang family. After all, Mr. Jiang is here, haha... What kind of reward can I give you? It's okay if you let me go into battle to kill the enemy. If you want to drag me down,

There are some elegant rewards coming, but I can’t tell you, so I’ll leave it to you, Prefect Qiao.”

"I can't do it, I can't do it..." Wang Yunshan hurriedly raised his hands and said: "My Wang family has been in Hangzhou for three generations. What orders do you two adults have? I will do my best for my hard work and don't dare to ask for any reward. This is what my Wang family should do.

What should be done, don’t dare to take credit, don’t dare to take credit..."

Qiao Zun raised Wang Yunshan's hand and said, "Hey, Mr. Wang is so polite. You and I are familiar with each other, so how can we be so polite?"

Qiao Zun continued: "Well, the Wang family will be exempted from Yuncheng tax for five years in the future when exporting silk."

Everyone in the Wang family took a breath of cold air. The Yuncheng tax was a tax on goods entering and exiting the city. It accounted for one-third of the entire cost. This was equivalent to a reduction of one-third of the cost. Based on three hundred dollars a year,

The net income of ten thousand taels has now increased by hundreds of thousands taels out of thin air. In five years, it will be close to two million taels, which is equivalent to the income of one year in bad years. This is an unprecedented amount in the world.

What a favor.

Wang Yunshan staggered two steps and almost lost his balance, as if he couldn't believe what Qiao Zun said. The people behind him hurriedly supported him, but Qiao Zun said: "Haha, Mr. Wang, your Wang family has been fighting with the Yang family for three lifetimes, but now you are coming from behind.

The Yang family has been stabilized. Haha, from today on, your Wang family will be the number one silk merchant in Hangzhou. If you have any difficulties, just ask them directly, haha..."

Wang Yunshan immediately knelt down with a plop, and then everyone in the Wang family knelt on the ground, except Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan. Wang Ruoyan originally wanted to kneel down with his grandfather, but Jiang Ning held him up and was unable to kneel down.

In Jiang Ning's opinion, this kind of trick is like a child's playing house, just rent-seeking for power. The one behind should be the big one, and judging from the attitude just now, the big one should be aiming at him, most likely

It is related to Lu Yutong, because there should be no other person besides Lu Yutong in the entire Hangzhou city who can have such a giant Buddha appear here at the same time.

"Thank you so much, Grand Administrator, for the great kindness of the general and the great kindness of the court. My Wang family has been shattered to pieces and I will not forget it..." Wang Yunshan said tremblingly for a moment, feeling a little uncontrollable. Five years is enough for Wang Ruoyan's generation to struggle at least.

In ten years, the family problems he was originally worried about will be solved with the profits in these five years, which is equivalent to saving the entire Wang family.

"Get up, I am the governor, and I am also the father and mother of Hangzhou. I can still take charge of this family. Besides, the general also supports him." Qiao Zun smiled, and there were people around him who had already stepped forward to help Wang Yunshan.

Xia Chunqiu nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, what Brother Qiao said is absolutely true, what he said is absolutely true..."

After Wang Yunshan regained his composure, Qiao Zun finally turned around and looked at Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan with a smile.
