Chapter 120 Shanxi Merchants, Liang Clan
Chen Jingzhi looked down at the phone handed over by Xiao Tang. The first thing he saw was a picture, which looked quite old on it, and then there were two big characters "Liang's" engraved on the door plaque, and the following was an introduction.
Nowadays, the Internet information is so developed that many unknown news are listed online. Zhuge Liang can tell the world's major events without leaving home, while in modern society, you can know what is happening in the outside world even if you don't go out for a year.
The Liang family made its fortune in the early Ming Dynasty. Earlier, the ancestors of the Liang family worked as a clerk in a cloth shop. Because they were good at doing things, were sensible, and were diligent, they quickly took up the position of the shopkeeper. They took care of the cloth shop in an orderly manner and were highly appreciated by their boss.
Moreover, the ancestor of the Liang family also met the eldest lady of the cloth shop at that time. The master thought that the shopkeeper was good at doing business, so he agreed to the marriage.
Since then, the Liang family took off. At that time, when the two dynasties were alternating and the Ming Dynasty was emerging, the ancestors of the Liang family took the carriage of local officials and made military uniforms and official uniforms for the Jinzhong generation. Later, because of the good quality of the cloth, they always made innovations and eventually became Gongbu.
At that time, the Liang family became the largest cloth merchant in Jin Province. The cloth merchants were spread all over the place, and the business was always very prosperous, with a bit of the feeling of Shen Wansan, a huge wealthy man in Jiangnan.
Then in modern times, there was not much news about the Liang family. It was not that their family had fallen into the trap, but that the Liang family deliberately lowered their attitude. Anyway, you can say that, you may not see the Liang family on the Forbes rich list, but it is not that they are not qualified, but that people disdain to show their face.
To describe the Liang clan in one sentence, it means to make a fortune silently and truly reach the level of being rich.
The Liang family has become the leader among Shanxi merchants, but they just don’t show up in public.
"From this point of view, the Liang family will really become Tao Ran's target. After all, other people's situation is not enough, so he cannot use this method to deal with it. Only two companies have this capital." Chen Jingzhi felt that this possibility was almost the same.
Xiao Tang asked, "Why don't you say hello to them? You won't confess to the other party as soon as you arrive, saying that someone is going to harm you secretly. I'm afraid that not only will they not believe it, but they may also leak news and alert the enemy."
Chen Jingzhi said calmly: "I'll just go there, it's not difficult..."
Then, Xiao Tang waited wherever he continued to squat in the pit and stared at Tao Ran and Zixiao, while Chen Jingzhi walked directly into Liangcun from the archway.
The village is definitely rich and can only look at the outside. When you walk in, you will find that the decorations in every household are very high-end, and the cars parked in the yard are common for hundreds of thousands of yuan and some are even more than one million yuan.
This Liang Village is the hometown of the Liang family. About 70% of the Liang family members in the entire village are related to their relatives. Therefore, since the Liang family took off, the state of the entire village is that one person has achieved enlightenment and has become a dog.
Chen Jingzhi came to the middle of Liang Village and saw the old house in the picture. This house has been around for a long time and has been repaired every few years since the Ming Dynasty and is in good condition.
This is the old house of the Liang family, carrying the history of this wealthy family for hundreds of years and telling the glorious side of the leader of Shanxi merchants.
If Chen Jingzhi just walked in like this, he might have been beaten up by the guardian, so he was not in a hurry and kept strolling outside with his hands behind his back.
After he was tired of walking, he found a cool place to squat and smoke a cigarette to pass the time.
At this time, there were occasionally people entering and leaving the Liang family's old house. The person living in this house now was the Liang family's old man, the one who did not care about the world and lived in the world. The young and young generations of the Liang family had long been scattered in various places to manage their family business.
I will only come back unless it is the New Year or during the worship of ancestors, and I still seem a little calm on weekdays.
Chen Jingzhi squatted in the shade, squinted his eyes and looked at the people coming in and out of the Liang family, and squatted for more than an hour.
At the same time, in the backyard of the Liang family's old house, in a pavilion next to the flowing water, an old man in a home clothes lies on the lounge chair, and a young woman washing tea with her hands and feet on her face.
"Old man, I'm here to have tea. The doctor said that you have to be treated with your illness. Use hot tea to moisten your stomach and intestines every day so that you won't lose your appetite and feel bad... Be obedient."
The old man on the recliner half opens his eyes, and his eyes seem to be turbid, and his breath is not very good. He said lightly: "Where are so many things coming from? He is old and has all kinds of problems. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most normal. I think I am about to come."
The young girl stood up and said complainingly: "Grandpa, no one says that to me? I think you look good and can at least celebrate your 100th birthday."
"Your ability to lie with your eyes open has been completely passed down from your father!" The old man snorted, slowly sat up, reached out and picked up the teacup, blew it, and took a sip.
The old man of the Liang family is 83 years old this year. In recent years, he has been living in this old house without caring about the world and spending his old age with peace of mind. However, his condition has not been very good these days.
The old man’s granddaughter is Liang Jingyu. He has been back home last month and made a special trip to accompany the old man, thinking that he could make him feel better. After all, the old man’s most proud junior is him.
Liang Jingyu squatted on the ground, pounded the old man's legs with his hands, and said softly: "I tell you grandpa, this person will have some problems when he is old, but I think the most important thing is that you must first adjust your mentality. If you feel better, you will lose any problems."
The old man sighed and said, "If the descendants are not around, how can we feel better!"
Liang Jingyu opened her mouth and was about to speak when an old man in his fifties suddenly came over outside. When he arrived at the two of them, he handed over a piece of paper and said, "Old man, there is a young man outside who said he asked me to take this piece of paper for you."
The two old men were stunned for a moment. Liang Jingyu reached out to pick up the paper, then looked at it and was shocked. Then he looked up and asked directly: "Where is the person?"
"Just squatting outside and smoking. He said if you need it, we'll just go out and call him..."
