Chapter 32 Ten years at a loss
The old patriarch roared at Yun Zheng angrily: "Prodigal son!" Then he grabbed the white linen and covered it on his head again, still lying straight there without saying a word.
Yun Zheng smiled embarrassedly, pulled a chair over and sat next to the big bed, and continued to persuade the old patriarch to eat like a child.
Cui Da felt that he should find something to sit down first, and then slowly look at what happened today. It was obvious that Yun Zheng was not dead, and the old patriarch of Dousha Village was about to hold the funeral, and the old patriarch seemed to be too.
He was not dead, he was just vomiting, as if he was vomiting with Yun Zheng.
Lu Qingying brought two generals to carry several huge boxes and walked in. She changed her cold appearance when facing Cui Da just now. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower. She really liked it.
The generals poured out all the things in the box as ordered by the mistress, spreading the silver verdict all over the floor with white silver verdicts. Lu Qingying grabbed two silver verdicts in her hand and smiled: "Old ancestor, look,
How much money can you get from a few broken shops in our house? With these things, even if you and the people in the village do nothing, they can eat for two lifetimes while lying down. Why go in the wind and rain?
What shop to run?
From now on, you just need to supervise the children in the village to study hard. Our Dousha Village will no longer be the same as those useless merchants. In the future, officials will be included in the village to supervise these cunning people.
Merchants, don’t ruin the good atmosphere of Dousha Pass.”
Lu Qingying's words seem to be of no use to the old patriarch, but they stimulate the unscrupulous businessman Cui Da very much. What is the bad atmosphere of businessmen? It is obviously a bad atmosphere of extravagance and debauchery, and the money of businessmen is not blown by the strong wind. It is easy for a businessman to make some money in Shuzhong Commercial Bank.
Is it?
I have just eaten brown rice for a month in Wenxin Curie in Baiyun Mountain. How can it be considered arrogance and extravagance?
The eldest lady of the Yun family came in. Cui Da couldn't get angry in front of the child. When he saw the child holding the 10 taels of silver on the ground, he piled them on the big bed, and called Taigong sweetly in his mouth, and said he was planning to do so.
Use these silver to take Taigong to Tokyo to eat Grandma Cao’s meat pie.
The old patriarch's favorite child is Yun Luoluo. Even if the old man is angry, he can't lie down. He sits up and holds the child and doesn't talk to Yun Zheng and his wife. He just wants to stay in front of the spirit shed.
The dog prepared a grave for him, and the grave was dug in his yard, so he would not bother others. He would die after feeling sorry for the child.
When Yun Zheng saw his daughter feeding the old patriarch wings with sensible chickens, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was in his eighties and it was really worrying that he didn't eat a day and a night.
Cui Da poked Yun Zheng with his arm and said, "Which the hell did this happen?"
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "What else can it be? The old man can't bear to leave the shops in Dousha Pass. He also said that selling the shops is a prodigal act, which makes me angry.
Originally, the old man’s biggest preference now was to go around Dousha Village. No matter who saw him, he would call him Taigong. Now that he had no shop, he would not have the confidence to call him Taigong, which was considered a loss of face.
After all, the old man didn't care about that shop. Seeing that we were taking advantage of the Doushaguan industry, he felt that we were preparing for leaving and worried that I would never come back again."
Cui Da nodded and said, "I'm worried too. To be honest, you really don't plan to go back to Shuzhong?"
Yun Zheng glanced at Cui Da with contempt and said, "Do you think I'll come back? Your Majesty has sealed Jianmen Pass and Shu Road, and then you will be pulled over. This is forcing me to give up Shu. I won't
Is it done as it is done?"
Cui Da laughed dryly and said, "Didn't you open the way to move west? If you can conquer Dali, I will support you with all my strength unconditionally."
Lu Qingying came over and looked at Cui Da and said, "This is not something your Majesty's confidant can say. What should I do to conquer Dali? Another person like Cao Rong, my husband can't defend even if he defeats the whole world."
Cui Da has been practicing a face that is invulnerable to swords and guns in the business world over the years. After hearing Lu Qingying's words, his face was not red. He frowned and said, "Now Liang Ji is burning, killing, looting, and robbing in Dali.
, From now on, Emperor Duan Silian of Dali would not hate us Song people to death.
Although I have never seen how Liang Ji robbed him with my own eyes. But I have participated in Jiaozhi personally. After experiencing this war, let alone the Emperor of Dali, even the people of Dali looked at us with evil eyes.
Wolves are almost the same?”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "It's not just Liang Ji who committed a crime, Zhao Yannian, how did Zhao Yannian do in Jianchang Mansion? You have heard of it, right? I heard that almost every family in Jianchang Mansion wears mourning.
After the war, the population of Jianchang Prefecture decreased by more than 40%.
Tsk, your Shuzhong Commercial Bank has taken a big advantage this time, and the huge blank market is enough for you to struggle for several years."
Lu Qingying said with a smirk on her face: "After this battle, the Tang and Tibet Ancient Road was half destroyed. There was no way to use Dali Huaimizhou. The road to Tianzhu was half farther west, and the Tea and Horse Ancient Road was completely destroyed.
No, the two business roads in Dousha Pass were destroyed by one and a half at a time. Why do my family keep those shops that are destined to lose money?
If you don’t take advantage of the fact that you are still worth some money, are you waiting to end up hitting yourself?
Besides, without my husband's reputation, it is a capital city in Xijiang. Who knows what the Dali people and the Tubo people will do? My family sold the shop and used the money to build the walls of Doushazhai high. In the future, I
My husband's flag is only allowed to be inserted into Dousha Village. If you dare to insert it elsewhere, try it. It would be a violation of military orders. My husband cut his head off even if his Majesty said nothing."
Cui Da was run by Yun Zheng and his wife and couldn't stand it anymore, and turned around to the old patriarch who coaxed the child to eat chicken wings: "Old patriarch, what do you think of this matter..."
The old patriarch knew that his shop had been bought by this man. When he saw Cui Da, he was angry. He snorted and turned his head to continue discussing with Yun Luoluo what delicious food there were in Tokyo. The old man just heard what Yun Zheng and his wife said.
It's right.
It turns out that Doushaguan is going to be in trouble. If that is the case, selling the shop is a wise move, and it is to make money, not to be a prodigal son. The darkness in his heart disappeared a lot, and he started to talk and laugh with Yun Luoluo.
.
Seeing that the old patriarch's mood had improved, Lu Qingying helped the old man to rest in the house. It was not a good thing to lie in the monastery for a day, but also winked. The versatile butler Zhao immediately took the servants to make this bad.
The spirit shed was demolished. It was just a cup of tea that Doushazhai returned to its former tranquility.
Yun Zheng and Cui Da also left Yun's house and walked by the river. The river in winter was clear, like surging jade liquid. The mulberry trees were bare, but the pine trees on the river bank seemed lush.
Cui Da sighed and said, "It was me who broke my promise. Do you still plan to insist on your oath to recover the Sixteen State of Yanyun?"
Yun Zheng glanced at Cui Da strangely and said, "Why not?"
"The Zhao Song Royal treats you like this, and I happen to know that you are not a person willing to be humiliated. Besides, Yun Yue is now developing overseas. No matter from any aspect, you will no longer work hard for the Zhao Song Royal."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that you still don't know me enough. When I decided on something, it was because I wanted to do it. What does it have to do with others? Others can only increase the difficulty of me doing this, but they cannot decide that I can do it.
Don't do this.
In addition, who told you that I was recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to be loyal to the Zhao Song royal family? I want to do this for the people of the Song Dynasty who have supported me over the years?
As long as this matter is done, I will never owe the people on this land any more, and I will leave the Song Dynasty and go to my Peach Blossom Island to be a happy pirate."
"If you don't come from the mountain, just me, and if I go to the mountain, it's an extremely open-minded attitude. It's a pity that it's too difficult to do it. This is not something that ordinary people do."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Do you think I am an ordinary person?"
Cui Da said with difficulty: "No! You are a monster!"
Yun Zheng smiled and found a big stone to sit down, signaled Cui Da to sit opposite him and asked solemnly: "What do you plan to do in the future? As a brother, I can only remind you that no one of the Imperial Merchants has ever had a good ending.
Especially at the storm today, it is easier to capsize."
Cui Da smiled bitterly and said, "I have read the books you read, but I don't understand the truth you understand. Now Your Majesty's power can still protect my Sichuan business. As long as I sincerely help Your Majesty do things."
Yun Zheng pointed to the undulating Qingshan in the distance and said, "Power is like a mountain in the distance. If there is a high, there will be a low. At this time, His Majesty is paralyzed in bed, but his ambition is the strongest.
At that time, it was because of his health that he was completely eliminated from his original hesitation. His body did not allow him to have too much thought, so he only had four simple and rough things to do now.
To describe it.”
Cui Da looked at the direction Yun Zheng pointed out and shook his head and said, "Shuzhong Commercial Bank has been driven into the alley by His Majesty. From then on, everything will be decided by himself.
I naturally know how tragic the dispute between the emperor and the Shang Dynasty was. In recent years, the nobles and relatives of the harem have always controlled the fat piece of the emperor and the Shang Dynasty. We stand on His Majesty's side and have established countless powerful enemies for ourselves before we can do anything.
You and I know that only by being kind can you make money. Since I can’t be kind, I’ve been prepared to lose for ten years.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Since you have decided, then do it. Don't be half-hearted. This is the taboo in the imperial court. You, Cui Da, have been a small businessman these years, I am really incompetent.
Waiting in Tokyo, I’m waiting to see you kill three parties!”
Cui Da nodded and finally said in a low voice: "My wife Zhang gave birth to a son for me last month. After Yun Yue stabilized the overseas territory, he planned to send the child to the island. You can take care of me, even if
If you can't become a talent, at least you have to let him become an adult." (To be continued)
