Honglouchun

Kushui Well, Taiping Street.

The head of the Sands Gang.

At this time, it was exactly noon for Jia Qiang.

Because he sent someone to report in advance, when he arrived, Jia Yun, the two elders of the Jinsha Gang, uncle Liu Shi, aunt Chun, and brother-in-law Tieniu were all waiting in front of the door.

"Your elder sister is also here to welcome you. I don't want Xiao Shitou to catch some wind and cold, but she is crying and wants to come out to play, so she has to watch in the room."

Tie Niuhan explained with a smile.

Jia Qiang frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle and aunt are relatives. How can there be any reason for elders to go out to meet their nephew? This can't be done in the future, or if the royal censor of the imperial court finds out, they will have to impeach me."

Liu Shi was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Our family members want to meet sooner, what's in the way of Master Yushi?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Of course, the eldest uncle is the biggest, and the rules are like this. It's fine for you and your aunt to pick me up at the pier. If you come out to pick me up when I come to the door, it's not good."

Aunt Chun was annoyed when she heard the words: "Come on, it's just that if you don't pick up in the future, we still don't believe what Brother Yun said, it's really old and dark!"

After a group of people entered the door, Jia Qiang saw her cousin Liu Da Niu standing at the door with Xiaoshi in her arms, and said amusedly, "After all, I carried it out. Didn't you say that Xiaoshi's body is like his father's, and he is not afraid of freezing?"

Liu Daniu said with a smile: "It's nothing serious. It burned for half a night, and it's alive and kicking again, but it still has a little runny nose. Look, what is this monkey afraid of?"

Xiao Shitou, who was writhing in Liu Da Niu's arms, grinned when he saw Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang stretched out her hand, and someone handed over a large bag of snacks and candies wrapped in oil paper, and handed it to Liu Da Niu, saying, "They are all brought from the south of the Yangtze River, and there are other local and special products, which were sent by people earlier. , got it? Don't let him eat too much candy at once, it will cause tooth decay."

Liu Da Niu has a brisk temper. After receiving it, she forced the little stone to thank her uncle, and then carried her back to her room to rest, not letting the little stone disturb the adults' conversation.

After entering the Juyi Hall and taking a seat, Aunt Chun couldn't hold back at all, and said: "Brother Qiang, you can be considered to be back. You sent someone earlier to force our family to move here. Now that you are back, we always come back." Should we go home?"

Elder Zhang hurriedly laughed and said, "We are not negligent, are we?"

Aunt Chun shook her head and said, "It's not about being negligent or not, no matter how good this place is, it's not home. The old neighbors didn't pay New Year's greetings for the New Year's Eve."

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "Yes, I can go home today."

The forces of all parties in the capital are intertwined. Now that he is back, Lin Ruhai is the focus, and he, a good minister of the Supreme Emperor, is also the focus.

Naturally, he doesn't want to do things indiscriminately, and other people also don't dare to be the rafters.

It's not as nervous as it was when the four salt merchants were just wiped out. As long as a few people are placed at the Qingta Temple, it should be fine.

Aunt Chun was overjoyed when she heard the words, but Liu Laoshi reprimanded her for making Jia Qiang mess up.

However, both of them were sensible people, so they didn't delay too much. After repeatedly asking Jia Qiang to go home for dinner, they also avoided it.

After all the relatives had left, Elder Hong said in a deep voice: "Master, the young master sent a message saying that he had bought a Zhuangzi in the west of the Yaowang Temple in the south of the city. Although the location is remote, there are not many people around. , the manpower has been settled. The young gang leader said that she will divide into ten batches and replace the manpower to the city one by one."

Jia Qiang nodded in response, and said, "I see, this matter is up to her."

Elder Zhang said again: "Nowadays there are many kebab stalls in the city, but the taste has not been as good as ours, but because the price is cheap, the sales are good. But now the business in the city has been affected. , but after cooperating with several princes' mansions, the ingredients are specially produced, and the income in the past six months is more than that of the capital. Add it all together, and earn a total of..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "I said before that all the profits here will be given to the Jinsha Gang, and everything will be decided by your young gang leader. When will she come back, have you ever said that?"

Elder Hong said: "Half a month at the latest, ten days at the soonest. By the way, the young gang leader asked me to wait during this period to find out the gangs in Nancheng and Beicheng, and the forces behind them, but he didn't say anything. What to do. Sir, this is what to do..."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "How do I know what the Jinsha Gang is going to do? You just wait for Xiao Jing to come back and take care of it. However, this time when I come back, the Jinsha Gang is going to explode. I don't care about other things, but since Elder Hong For the punishment elders of the Jinsha Gang, the rules and family laws of the gang must be stricter, and it doesn’t matter if it is even stricter. The treatment of the gang members is so good, if there are still people who behave mischievously and don’t listen to orders, I’m asking for you. I’ve read through ancient and modern history books, from I haven't found a team that can survive for a long time without strict rules. No matter what time it is, you must have a sense of awe in your heart. If there are people who act recklessly, not only will I not be your backer, but I will definitely Great righteousness destroys relatives. Elder Hong, don't blame me for not predicting when the time comes."

After the elders Hong and Zhang changed their faces, Jia Yun smiled and said to Jia Qiang, "It's time to rein them in. Although people in the Jianghu are moral, they are easy to let go. As a result, I also said that I don't understand the world... If I really have a backer, I want to run amok and do whatever I want."

Jia Qiang snorted and said, "When Xiao Jing comes back, she will be able to take care of herself. What about your side?"

Jia Yun shook her head and said: "After all, the couple of Huai'an Marquis Mansion fumbled over half of the condiments, so the condiments we buy from us are less and less every month, and the mutton we buy from them is constantly increasing. Price increase. I often hear that rich and noble families are masters who eat people and don’t spit out their bones. I thought that the young master of the Huai’an Marquis Mansion and Brother Qiang would be able to maintain dignity if they knew each other well. Lord of men."

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "What's so annoying? Human nature is like this. We didn't have an equal status with them before. To lose half a year's profit is already considered kind of them."

Jia Yun said unwillingly: "That's because they are afraid of Brother Qiang, you, a good minister of the emperor... really let them take advantage of you?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "It's just a barbecue business, so we can see who can be handed over and who can't, isn't it a good thing? This barbecue recipe is not a very complicated secret recipe, so we don't have to hide it from now on. We make money The origin of it is not in such a small place."

Jia Yun still regretted after hearing the words: "I'm not sorry for making less money, but I'm sorry that the Marquis of Huai'an is full of military leaders and powerful generals. If we can make friends with them, can't we be blessed?"

Jia Qiang waved her hands and said with a smile: "Where can you make friends with small profits? But you don't have to give up there, just maintain a normal relationship. As for the business of barbecue, the Jinsha Gang will continue to do it, but It's no longer about money. After Yangzhou and his party, we don't have to worry about our financial resources. And after my great-uncle returns to Beijing, there is no shortage of official power to rely on. You just need to know these things."

Jia Yun nodded thoughtfully when she heard the words, and said again: "Brother Qiang, I will take the 3 taels of silver notes that you sent back earlier, and I will take them back to the Hengsheng Wang family, but his son Wang Shouzhong doesn't want it. He said let us use it first, and when he is really short of money, he will talk to you."

Jia Qiang smiled and sighed, "Did you see it? This is the real smart person."

He had some headaches because Wang Shiying, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Langya Wang family, was not on the same side as Han Bin, Lin Ruhai and others.

There will be conflicts in the future, and it is inevitable that there will be offenses...

Jia Yunqi said: "Brother Qiang, are you going to work together with the Wang family to make a living?"

He knew that the Delin existed.

But Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Let's not do these things for now, we have to wait a little longer, the Langya Wang family is not short of money. Brother Yun, in the future, your affairs should be taken out of these trivial matters. It's the same sentence, Jingcheng Although the business will not stop, we will not make a lot of money in the important places in the capital. From today on, what you have to do is to remember who the main people in the major mansions in the capital are, recognize their faces, and ask Know their roots, it is best to be able to travel around and make friends with them. Don’t be afraid to spend money, this matter is more important than money.”

Jia Yun was startled when she heard the words, and laughed dryly, "I may not be able to do it, how could they know who I am..."

Jia Qiang looked at Jia Yun and smiled, and said, "You are smoother and more steadfast than me, so why can't you do it?"

Jia Yun thought for a while, and said, "Wait for Brother Qiang to run for Ningguo's sect after he takes over the title?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled, "No, it's Rong Guo's family. In a few days, I'll find you a pair of Rong Guo cards."

Although Ning Guogong was the head of the family, he became a first-class general in the second generation, which was more than twice as poor as the background of Rongfu.

Instead of letting those bastards spoil those incense and favors, it is better for him to take them and use them.

Isn't that Feng girl good at money?give her!

Since she likes to exchange the Jia family's wealth for silver, it is better to sell it to him than to sell it to others!

In the important place of Gyeonggi, the old Rongguo Ministry like Chang'an garrison, only 3000 taels, let her sell it clean...

Gee! !

"Brother Qiang, the Taiping Guild Hall on Xixie Street has been cleaned up, and they are all arranged according to the drawings you left. In addition, Mr. Wang and Mr. Feng sent 56 girls from Jiaofangsi in, and practiced for three days. It's been a month, why don't you go and see?"

……

Daming Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the Xinuang Pavilion, Emperor Long'an's joy over the return of the minister of the humerus to the capital was swept away at this moment.

He looked at Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of the Daming Palace with a gloomy expression, and said, "Jia She of Rongguo Mansion took most of the family business of Ningguo Mansion?"
