"It's nothing new..."
Li Zhaoliang shrank in the cotton jacket, shaking his shoulders, letting the snow falling on the neckline be blown away by the wind, looking at Liu Heng indifferently.
Liu Heng opened his mouth, trying to follow Li Zhaoliang to ask for clarity.
Without waiting for Li Zhaoliang to speak, Kou Ji opened his mouth to help Liu Heng solve his doubts, "Li Jia is one of the top generals, how could he not have any background..."
Liu Heng frowned, more puzzled.
Kou Ji continued: "The largest leather goods shop in Xining City is the property of the Li family; the largest liquor shop is the property of the Cao family..."
Liu Heng looked at Li Zhaoliang in a daze, and wanted to hear an affirmation from Li Zhaoliang.
I saw Li Zhaoliang faintly said: "The largest market for cattle and horses is the industry of the Pan family; the largest market is the industry of the Gao family. Several other companies, in Xining City, also have their own properties.
This is no secret in Bianjing.
Although your Liu family is among the generals, we still look down on your Liu family. The reason is that your Liu family's eyesight is too shallow. They only fix one acre of land in the city of Bianjing, but don't know how to accumulate their heritage. "
Speaking of which.
Li Zhaoliang paused, his gaze fell on Kou Ji, and he said to Liu Heng slightly enviously: "But your kid is lucky and can be brothers with Kou Ji. With Kou Ji helping you Liu family, your Liu family's background will soon be Make up.
After your aunt fell, your father was not chased by us to kill him. It was also because Kou Ji helped your Liu family add some details.
As long as Kou Ji helps your Liu family fill up the background, your Liu family is qualified to sit at a table with us and talk.
I believe that this time will not be too short.
You know, back then, the four of us spent countless manpower and material resources in order to open the door to the Western Regions.
But it took Kou Ji less than a few years to become a hegemon among merchants in the Western Regions. "
After listening to Li Zhaoliang's words, Liu Heng opened his mouth in amazement.
Kou Ji said calmly: "I can gain a foothold in the Western Regions in a very short period of time, but it has cost a lot of money. Unlike the few of you, you don’t want to pay a penny of capital, just want to rely With the convenience of authority, we can do business without capital in the Western Regions."
When Li Zhaoliang heard this, he felt a little unhappy, staring at Kou Ji and said: "We have spent a lot of financial resources to develop the Western Regions!"
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Zhaoliang with disgust: "Send a group of unusable veterans to dress up as horse thieves in the Western Regions, rob those passing merchants, and then sell the looted goods. Go and get money to gain a foothold in the Western Regions.
In the meantime, none of your households paid a penny.
You are ashamed to say that several of your companies have spent a lot of financial resources in order to open up the Western Regions
Are you ashamed? "
Li Zhaoliang's face blushed, and he snorted coldly.
When Liu Heng was quarreling with Li Zhaoliang, Liu Heng had slowly recovered himself. He murmured, "Why didn't I know this before?"
Kou Ji glanced at Li Zhaoliang.
Li Zhaoliang curled his lips and said, "That's because you were not qualified to know this."
Liu Heng turned his head and asked, "Then why are you willing to tell me now?"
Li Zhaoliang pouted at Kou Ji, "Ask him..."
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng who was bewildered, and smiled calmly: "Because of the current background of the Liu family, he is qualified to know this."
Liu Heng was stunned in place.
After a long time, he gave a wry smile.
"Everything comes from you, brother four?"
Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji with a complicated expression, and said, "If it weren't for your fourth brother, I'm afraid that our Liu family wouldn't be able to touch this layer in this life, right?"
Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang kept silent.
It was acquiescence to what Liu Heng said.
The Liu family started fast enough.
But Liu's family is scarce.
Fewer people can use it.
Kou Ji did not appear before.
Surrounded by Liu Heng, there are all green-skin gangsters.
It is easy for Liu Heng to deceive men and women through the use of those gangsters, but it is impossible to expect those gangsters to help the Liu family buy a large property, or help the Liu family buy properties elsewhere.
Liu Congmei has always been kept by Liu E. It is impossible to help Liu's family buy a property outside the city of Bianjing.
Liu Congde is not a weapon.
Liu Heng was crushed.
It's strange that the Liu family can accumulate its heritage.
Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said: "When I was in Bianjing, I thought I already knew everything under the sky. Only now I found out that I was a little sitting in the well."
Kou Ji comforted: "You can't blame you for this. Your Liu family's time was short. I haven't experienced any strong winds and waves, and I haven't understood the principles of the Three Caves of the Cry Rabbit. Unlike other people, who have experienced many storms and waves, they know the truth of the Three Caves of the Cry Rabbit. He arranged countless retreats."
Liu Heng nodded and said, "The reason is this, but I just feel a little unhappy in my heart."
When Li Zhaoliang heard this, he was unhappy, "What is unhappy about you? It should be our companies that are unhappy. We have been planning for decades before we have the situation today.
You have surpassed our decades of hard work in just a few years. "
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said faintly: "You can't blame anyone for this matter. It's just that your family is too greedy. You want to swallow any money in your stomach, but you never thought about it. Take some money out of your stomach and go. Open up a larger industry."
Li Zhaoliang curled his lips unwillingly, but did not retort.
Kou Ji is telling the truth.
If they were not too greedy and exposed many flaws, Kou Ji would not be able to establish a foothold in the Western Regions.
Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji gratefully.
Kou Ji stared at him and smiled: "Look back and cultivate more confidants to participate in our business."
Liu Heng nodded heavily.
"Fourth brother, among the many generals, which one has the deepest background?"
With gratitude, Liu Heng asked his biggest doubts.
Li Zhaoliang said with envy and jealousy: "The Cao family..."
Liu Heng was taken aback for a moment.
Li Zhaoliang clicked his mouth and said: "Before we started, the Cao family was already a wealthy family on Zhending Road, controlling several business roads leading to Liao. When we opened up the Western Regions, the Cao family also participated. One serving.
Among the many businesses that Kou Ji has made, the Cao family is also involved.
Now the Cao family's business is spread all over the northwest, far deeper than ours. "
After a pause, Li Zhaoliang glanced at Kou Ji and sighed: "Of course... it may be a replacement in a few years."
Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji in astonishment.
Li Zhaoliang's suggestion is obvious.
In a few years, the Kou family will most likely surpass the Cao family.
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Don't listen to him nonsense. Among the many businesses in my hands, the only ones that can steadily crush them are the word Jiaozipu and the forged steel workshop.
The big owners behind these two businesses are all officials, not me. "
Li Zhaoliang said quietly: "When Yizi Jiaozi Shop is laid out in the entire Song Dynasty, the elements in your hand will be enough to overwhelm our few.
Speaking of which.
Li Zhaoliang was a little annoyed, "You talked about you. When I founded Yizijiaozi shop, why didn't you consider getting me? I was afraid I had no money, or I was afraid that I was no one
With me joining, the Yizijiaozi shop you founded will surely be laid out faster. "
Kou Ji stared at Li Zhaoliang with a faint smile, "Pull you up? Do you think you died fast enough?"
The expression on Li Zhaoliang's face became stiff, and he said dejectedly: "When I didn't say..."
Yizijiaozipu does not make money.
But Kou Ji didn't even get in with his closest friends, Liu Heng and Cao Tong.
Suffice it to say that the risks inside are very high.
As the three talked, they had already arrived outside Xining City.
Xining City was shrouded in a blizzard, looking hazy.
A large number of people, under the instructions of many officials in Xining City, were cleaning the snow on the official road.
The Zhizhou and regimental training envoys of Xining Prefecture, guarding Xining City, led a large group of high-ranking officials, braving the wind and snow, and greeted Kou Ji and his party.
"Xining Prefecture knows the state, Mu Zichuan, the training ambassador, welcomes the angels to come!"
"..."
Other officials in Xining Prefecture bowed their heads in salute.
Kou Ji sat on horseback and said lightly: "You don't need to be polite... This time the official rushed to Xining Prefecture, there are important things to do, so some of the itinerary can be reduced as much as possible."
At the age of 40, the tall and thin Mu Zichuan with a long beard bowed and said, "Follow the angel's order..."
Kou Ji said again: "Let your people arrange for the three thousand soldiers who came with the official to go down and rest. You don't need to take care of the rest."
Kou Ji can privately provide money to reward his companions, but he can't privately pay to reward the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
The soldiers of the imperial army had to be arranged by the government of Xining Prefecture.
Mu Zichuan bowed and said, "Hey..."
Kou Ji waved.
"Enter the city!"
Liu Heng immediately ordered his men to support the imperial guard and follow Kou Ji.
Kou Ji urged the horse, and under the guidance of Mu Zichuan, entered Xining City.
One enters the city.
I saw people standing on both sides of Xining City Avenue.
One by one stood neatly under the wind and snow.
Headed by a middle-aged man in his thirties.
The middle-aged man took the lead to salute Kou Ji.
"I have seen the owner!"
"I have seen the owner!"
With the first cry of the middle-aged man, he landed.
The people on both sides of the street all bowed and saluted and shouted loudly.
The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
The corners of Li Zhaoliang's mouth twitched.
The same is true for Mu Zichuan.
Only Liu Heng glared his eyes and murmured: "Really the owner of half a city..."
Mu Zichuan looked at the people he ruled, and saluted Kou Ji respectfully one by one, saying with a little bit of sorrow: "The face of an angel is so great..."
Kou Jigan laughed and said: "The soldiers who were traveling with the officer have been in a state of exhaustion for nearly half a month. Muzhizhou arranged for them to rest as soon as possible. The officer will then go to Zhizhou Yamen and ask you for an interview."
Mu Zichuan bowed and said, "Hey..."
Immediately.
Mu Zichuan led the officials under him, went to contact the soldiers in the army, and led the three thousand soldiers down to rest.
After three thousand soldiers left.
The civilian husbands escorted the car into Xining City.
Looking at the people in Xining City, respectfully waiting for Kou Ji's words, they were amazed.
"I'll be a good boy... The emperor Laozi is traveling, I'm afraid there is no such scene?"
"Anyway, I haven't seen it..."
"How many people are there?!"
"Kou officials promised our mutton soup, warm ondol, should it be cashed? If you are giving a pot of hot wine, that would be even better."
"Would you like to find you another mother-in-law who will make you a home here by the way? Something that is not greedy."
"..."
Folk husbands are talking about it.
Kou Ji had jumped off his horse and walked to the middle-aged man with a black face.
"Whose idea?"
Kou Ji asked coldly.
When the middle-aged man saw Kou Ji's face turned dark, he knew that he had slapped his horse on the leg, and hurriedly said: "It's not the villain's idea..."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and gave a cold hush.
A faint sweat floated on the middle-aged man's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "It's really not a villain's idea."
Kou Ji said coldly: "It's not your idea. How can the people get together? How can they know that I am entering the city at this time?"
The middle-aged man bowed his waist and said with a bitter face: "The common people are all grateful to the young master for your kindness, and came here spontaneously..."
Kou Ji glared, and shouted in a low voice: "Tell me clearly, if you don't know, I will kill you."
The middle-aged man was taken aback and quickly said: "Two days ago, the young master, you sent someone to Xining City to let the young man prepare mutton soup and flatbread for more than 60,000 people. You have to prepare hot water for 60,000 people. kang.
Mutton soup is easy to handle, but hot kang is hard to find.
Although our industry in Xining City is large, there is no free place and no free hot kang.
So the villain asked the people to rent some vacant rooms and hired them to use the hot kang.
When the people saw that we were looking for so many hot kangs, they were puzzled.
After inquiring about it, I knew that Young Master you were coming, so I remembered it silently.
Today, when the villain brought the managers of the major workshops to come to welcome you, they spontaneously followed.
The villain looked at it, and the scene was quite big.
Maybe you will like the young master, so you didn't drive them away. "
Kou Ji almost died of anger when he heard this.
"Be smart! Stupid! Do you think I died fast enough?!"
The middle-aged man shuddered and hurriedly defended, "The villain never has this mind... The villain can't wait for the young master to live a long life."
Kou Ji glared at the middle-aged man and snorted coldly: "When I am using people, I will save your life first. Hurry up and take your people to arrange meals and rest for the people who come with me.
If there is another mistake, I cut you down. "
The middle-aged person is amnesty, "The villain will never dare anymore..."
Now.
Don't wait for Kou Ji to speak again.
The middle-aged man immediately greeted the stewards of the major workshops, and still took the grain and grass from the folks. According to the famous roster, the people of Xining City were assigned to lead the folks to rest.
In order to settle down the civil servants as soon as possible.
The middle-aged people distributed the mutton to the homes of the people.
They entertain the folks directly.
however.
The middle-aged man led the stewards in full swing.
The people of Xining City stood still, motionless, and refused to leave.
There are a few middle-aged men with prestige among the people, stubbing their necks, and shouting righteously to those workshop managers who persuade them to leave.
"We don't have any other thoughts, and we don't dare to disturb the boss's official duties. We just want to kowtow to the boss."
