"Let him in."

Xu Hongji froze for a moment, a little surprised, but let him in anyway.

After a while, Xu Fuyuan walked in.

"Little nephew pays homage to the father-in-law."

Xu Hongji didn't get up, he pointed to the chair and motioned Xu Fuyuan to sit down.

"Why is my nephew here?"

"My nephew came to visit friends in Nanjing today. I didn't have anything to do at night, so I went for a walk on the Qinhuai River with a few friends. I didn't hear that the father-in-law is here, so I came here to pay a visit."

Xu Fuyuan is twenty-two in his thirties this year, with a handsome appearance and a suave manner.In addition, he has poetry and books in his stomach and a wealthy family. He has always been a trendsetter in the fireworks scene.Today, after having a banquet in the garden of my friend's house, I felt that it was not enough, so I came to the Qinhuai River together, planning to find a flower boat to cruise around.Unexpectedly, it happened that Xu Hongji was also there, and I would not miss this opportunity to get close and come to pay a visit.

"I'm interested. Let me introduce you, this is the shopkeeper Li of Global Commerce." After finishing speaking, he pointed to Li Jinbo.

"But the global business that is doing sea trade?"

"It's right here." Li Jinbo also cupped his hands.

"Shopkeeper Li's name is like thunder."

Xu Fuyuan had never met Li Jinbo, but it did not prevent him from hearing about Li Jinbo's notoriety.Seeing the Righteous Lord at this time, there are some unknown meanings in the words.

"Compared to Xu's prestige in Songjiang, it's not worth mentioning."

Li Jinbo responded tit for tat, he knew that he was notorious in this Jiangnan area.It's normal for others to dislike me, but it doesn't matter, and I can't kill him.

"Grandpa, my nephew's friend is still waiting there, so I won't bother you. I'll visit you at the mansion tomorrow."

"Go."

After Xu Fuyuan left, Xu Hongji smiled and said to Li Jinbo:

"Your name is really impressive."

"My lord is notorious, right?"

"Hahaha, come, drink."

The Xu family is a prominent family in Songjiang, and even in the entire Jiangnan.

The so-called noble family refers to the family names with high status, great power and great power in the local area.Among them, those noble families with endless hairpin tassels and famous names are what are usually called famous families.

As for the real reason for the rise of the famous families, it is mainly because of their high political status and strong economic foundation.At present, only being an official can quickly improve political status, and secondly, it is a shortcut to amass a lot of wealth.

Therefore, in the final analysis, all the current prominent families are basically supported by feudal scholar-bureaucrats such as bureaucrats, squires and squires who started their careers in Kejia.

The scholar-bureaucrats who supported the famous families in Songjiang Prefecture can be roughly divided into four types:

[-]. Born in a family of officials and officials for generations

[-]. Born in a "cultural family" family

[-]. Starting from farming and reading

[-]. Born in families of laborers such as businessmen, doctors and handicraftsmen

And Xu Fuyuan's great-grandfather, Xu Jie, belongs to the third category.

According to Xu Jie's old preface to "Xu's Genealogy", his ancestors originally lived in Xujiabang, Xiaozhen, Huating County, and worked in agriculture for generations. husband".

It wasn't until Xu Jie's father's generation that he started to make a fortune, but he only became a county magistrate in Ningdu.But after Xu Jie went to high school, all this changed, from the editor of the Imperial Academy, to the minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and finally overthrew Yan Song to become the chief assistant and an extremely human minister.Xu Jie's status is getting higher and higher, and with the continuous rise of Xu Jie's political status, the Xu family has rapidly expanded into a famous and powerful family in just a few decades.

Xu Jie had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Xu Fan had eleven sons and four daughters.The second son Xu Kun has five sons and two daughters, and the third son Xu Ying has three sons and two daughters.

His three sons all have a common characteristic, they are in groups of wives and concubines.So in Xu Jie's later years, he already had nineteen grandsons and ten granddaughters in his lineage alone.

Xu Jie has four brothers, and he ranks second.

The fourth son, Xu Zhi, later became a Jinshi and became an official.And Xu Fuyuan who just came in is Xu Zhi's great-grandson.

Xu Jie was a little speechless.

His most well-known deed is that he got rid of Yan Song and his son.But after he became the first assistant, in order to reduce the burden on the people, he also cleared the salt tax.

After the death of King Jing, he gave the tens of thousands of hectares of land occupied by King Jing to the people.

However, his own family has more than 40 mu of land.

At this time, the Xu clan is considered to be in a state of prosperity, so they will naturally take the road of scientific research.Xu Fuyuan is currently the most promising member of the Xu family to pass the Jinshi examination.

As for why he hates Li Jinbo so much, it comes from the global business represented by Li Jinbo.

Since Liu Xiang came to Songjiang with his men, the life of these coastal businessmen was not easy.Because of the death of his godson, Liu Xiang especially hated these local gentry in Songjiang, and gave the most comprehensive care to their cargo ships. As long as you dare to go to sea, that is a word.Rob!In order to sell the goods produced, they had to go to sea from farther Shandong.

If this is the case alone, it is nothing more than a little higher cost on the road.Just raise the price.After all, Songjiang is known as "the two things of silk and cloth, the clothes and quilts of the world", and there is a market for the products produced even if the price is higher.

But they found that what they thought was too simple.The cargo ship snatched by Liu Xiang soon set out to sea under the banner of Global Commerce.The goods are still the original goods, and the price is still the original price, but the owner has changed.

In this way, their things will naturally not be sold.

There are only two paths before them:

[-]. Big sale at a loss.Second, kill Liu Xiang.

They are unwilling to the first way, and the second way is impossible.

If you can't get Liu Xiang, you will naturally transfer the hatred to Global Commerce.

The name of Global Commerce is considered to be rotten, and the wealthy businessmen can't wait to catch Li Jinbo and cook him.

It's not that they didn't think about killing Li Jinbo, but they found that the guards around him were very difficult.Not only was there no leakage, but he almost followed the clues to find the person behind the scenes.In addition, it was rumored that there were more powerful figures behind this person, so no one dared to act rashly.If you dare not move, you dare not move, but it does not hinder the mouth craving.Every time someone mentions the name of Li Jinbo of Global Trading, they have to gnash their teeth and scold him.

It was under such circumstances that Xu Fuyuan knew Li Jinbo's name.

The Xu family also has a cloth business, and the scale is not small.Naturally, it also received a lot of impact.

Xu Fuyuan's elders at home often heard of Li Jinbo's notoriety and regarded him as a bandit.How can you be so angry when you meet at this time.

"I heard that Zheng Zhilong in Fujian can be protected by him as long as he pays a part of the money every year. Is there such a thing?" Xu Hongji suddenly remembered such a thing and asked.

"That's what happened."

"Then why didn't Liu Xiang follow Zheng Zhilong's example and also collect some money as protection fees? In this town in the south of the Yangtze River, cotton growers, mulberry growers and silkworm raisers all rely on them to make a living. It's okay for a year or two. Those businessmen also Forget it, if things go on like this, the common people will really not be able to survive. If someone instigates it later, it will be troublesome if there is a disturbance."

Li Jinbo nodded and fell silent.

He can't be the master of this matter, everything is obeying the orders from above.In the past two years, he has bought cotton and raw silk from the common people.Although he didn't know why he collected so much and left it alone, since it was an order from above, he had to execute it unconditionally.

"Grandpa, it's still the same sentence. When the time comes, it will be clear at a glance."

"Haha, I've heard you say this many times."

"almost."

"almost?"

"almost!"

"Then I'll wait and see."

On the second day, there was a message from Duke Wei's mansion that in the future, do not come to the door for global business matters.

As soon as this news came out, it caused quite a commotion.

Even Wei Guogong doesn't care, what is the purpose of this global business!

This is Xu Hongji's cleverness. It stands to reason that he is one of the few Dukes of the Ming Dynasty, hereditary without replacement, and a top honor.A little Li Jinbo is not in his eyes at all.The reason why they are willing to make friends is all because of the eunuch Xu Yingyuan behind Li Jinbo, and who is behind Xu Yingyuan is naturally self-evident.

In the past two years, he has stopped all businesses that conflict with Global Commerce, just because he doesn't want to be in trouble.

According to the ups and downs from the outside world, the star enterprises in the south of the Yangtze River, Global Commerce are still running in an orderly manner.The factory sees things quickly, and under Li Jinbo's generous money offensive, it can be said that it changes every day.

On the other side, Wu Youke returned to the capital on a steam ship and met Zhu Youjian.

"Ambassador Wu, it's been a hard journey to Taiwan."

Wu Youke was tanned a lot, and she was already thin, so she looked like a bamboo pole at this moment.But the spirit head is very good.

"Please trouble Your Majesty to worry about everything, I'm fine."

"However, when I called you back to Beijing, there is another matter for you to do. I'm afraid you have to travel far away."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Shanxi."
