Bastard’s Resurgence

On the Yangzhou side, after Gu Zhilun went through a lot of twists and turns, he took the silver to respond to the sky, and the shop at Qikong Bridge was very busy.

In the past, this area belonged to He Lianggong's world, but now there is another Gu Zhilun. Everyone has only heard that he is from Yangzhou. He built a large scale construction project at Qikong Bridge, and the layout of the eighteen shops were all re-planned. Everything is big. action.

With 18 shops as the core, there are casinos, wine shops, storytelling rooms, painting boats, and bookstores dedicated to literati and ink guests. The completion of such a large-scale layout plan immediately caused a sensation in the entire Liuhe County. On the day of opening, seven Kongqiao was even more confined.

The river valley wharf is adjacent to the normally empty river surface of the inland river, and now there are more than a dozen painting boats. Gu Zhilun’s new restaurant is Fuyunlou, the new bookstore is called Hengwu Bookstore, there is also Tianyi tea shop, dim sum shop , Jewelry shops, rouge shops, ready-to-wear shops, and so on.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a scene is never seen in Liuhe, even in Yingtian. At the same time, so many shops are open to welcome customers, and all the services feel very tall, because at the cross street. With successful experience, Gu Zhilun is now familiar with such a scene as a trader.

Lu Zheng once pointed out his bizarre vocabulary such as preferential policies, advertising promotion, sensational effects, discount policies and so on. Gu Zhilun is very mature. For example, when a casino is newly opened, gamblers can buy a dozen silver chips. A bargaining chip of half a tael of silver can be given.

Guests who spend more than one tael of silver in the restaurant on the day can enjoy a 20% discount, as well as dim sum shops, tea shops, jewelry and rouge shops, all kinds of discounts, but anyone who is familiar with the market will feel that they can make a lot of money. Up.

For example, a necklace that requires thirty taels of silver on weekdays can now be bought in Qikongqiao twenty taels of silver, and as long as you buy one piece of jewelry, you will have an additional chance to win a lottery. If you are lucky, you can win one lottery this time. How about a pure gold earring or ring?

And the rouge sold in the rouge shop is top-quality, and it is also 20 to 30% cheaper than usual. The daughter-in-law of a big family, if someone encounters such a good thing, they will definitely pass ten or ten, and the news will be passed in half a day. Throughout Liuhe, Yingtian knew the time of a day.

The Qikong Bridge immediately became popular. Gu Zhilun's business operated by his own hands, like a stream of money, is crazy to attract money. Many Yingtian people come here admiringly, wanting to see the excitement and prosperity of the Qikong Bridge.

...

Zhan Tianqi once again moved from Yingtian to Liuhe County. Compared with the tension before, this time he was in a relatively relaxed mood.

After getting off the sedan chair in Liuhe County, Nie Yong personally escorted him to Dongmen Pier in a carriage.

On the way, Zhan Tianqi saw the endless meadow. The cavalry on the meadow was galloping horizontally and horizontally. The newly-built temporary camp was majestic. The cavalry battalion of the Southern Army Army looked like a reborn after going down the mountain. mighty.

The cavalry battalion of the Southern Army Army went down the mountain, and all the issues that were worried about the food and wages, the battalion commander, the security issue, and so on, have now been properly handled. The soldiers’ spirits have been refreshed. Seeing this situation, Zhan Tianqi feels very pleased. .

"Master Nie, you still have a way. These soldiers have become fine people, and they are not easy to deal with! But Master Nie's shots are extraordinary, and these arrogant soldiers are now at your mercy. , It's amazing!" Zhan Tianqi said.

Nie Yong smiled faintly, and said: "My lord, the method I used is actually simple. The warriors are combative. I can use their weakness to make the Cavalry Battalion and the Shenji Battalion each other's opponents. Now the two participating generals are leading troops to station. In this area, I am the host and give them money and money. If they don’t listen to me, it’s hard to win. I can naturally take the initiative!"

Zhan Tianqi said: "This is also your opponent. Also, you have not been in Yangzhou for these years. I heard that there is a Yangzhou business group to help you behind. This is very good! The Jiangnan power squad is always stumbling. , This Yangzhou business group has contributed a lot!"

Nie Yongdao: "Master Zhan, Yangzhou is a small place after all. These small business groups and Jiangnan Powers are not of the same order of magnitude at all. They can just solve their urgent needs.

However, through them, the Nanfu Army was able to go down the mountain and took the first step. I believe things will be easier for the Lord! It is only a matter of time before my Liuhe County has come forward to take the lead. "

Zhan Tian nodded vigorously, and said, "Go, let us go with us for a while, Cheng Hu and Ma Rulong. If it's true as you said, I will suggest to Donggong that the Prince will be on a tour next year and he can be invited to Jiangnan and his party, ha ha , Lord Nie, what do you think?"

Nie Yong was stunned for a moment, and his whole body was shaken. It is the tradition of Dakang that the prince goes on tour. The implication is that the emperor will patrol on behalf of the emperor, and there are more personal intentions in it.

The prince usually travels once every three years. He has never been to Jiangnan. If the prince can really come to Jiangnan next year, it will be a great honor for the people of the Jiangnan prince line. Zhan Tian uses such things to describe this. The significance of the Nanfu army going down the mountain is undoubtedly the biggest compliment to Nie Yong.

Zhan Tianqi arrived at the two major military camps of the cavalry and the Shenji camp. Cheng Hu and Ma Rulong's attitudes really changed. The two of them turned their previous arrogance and showed their loyalty in front of Zhan Tianqi, with the purpose of hoping that they would have the opportunity to stay.

Especially Cheng Hu, he fell in love with this place as soon as he brought five thousand cavalry to this place. Just as Lu Zheng said, there is a Pingchuan along the river, which is really a natural cavalry training ground.

Cheng Hu wanted to get crooked before, and he only worried that he would make a mistake in one step and be caught in the endless factional battles in the south of the Yangtze River. In case he stood on the wrong team and suffered unreasonable disaster.

Now he suddenly understood that as long as he holds the military power in his hand, the soldiers underneath can be delicious and spicy. It has nothing to do with imagining the snake. When it is critical, he raises his arms. These soldiers still listen to him. He wants to be the emperor’s loyal minister, who Can't stop him either.

In that case, what is Cheng Hu worried about now? His five thousand cavalry can have such a good place to eat, live and train, what does it matter if he obeys Zhan Tianqi? Zhan Tianqi was originally the chief governor, and he had a soldier amulet bestowed by the emperor in his hand. If he didn't listen to Zhan Tianqi, he still wanted to rebel?

Zhan Tianqi made a circle around the Dongmen Wharf and went to stay at Qikong Bridge at night. The Qikong Bridge at night was still busy with people coming and going.

Zhan Tianqi secretly set up a house in Qikong Bridge. He was on a tour of Liuhe today. During the day, Nie Yong was accompanied by the whole city. In secret, many of his confidants arrived at Qikong Bridge and waited!

Among these confidants is his number one counselor, Gu Chunfeng. Gu Chunfeng’s identity is unusual. He is an old man in the Prince’s Mansion. The prince put Gu Chunfeng by Zhan Tianqi’s side. This is the prince’s extreme favor of Zhan Tianqi. , In addition, I am afraid there is a deeper meaning.

However, Gu Chunfeng never regarded himself as a person in the Prince's Mansion. In front of Zhan Tianqi, he was always polite, respectful, and afraid to overstep the slightest.

"My lord, doesn't it feel different when coming to Qikong Bridge this time? The businessman from Yangzhou has changed its appearance in just a few months. The various methods used are unheard of and unseen, which is really amazing. Ah!" Gu Chunfeng said.

Zhan Tianqi smiled and said: "I know that many people in Yingtian these days are talking about the paintings of Qinhuai River coming to Liuhe, and many daughters and grandma of Yingtian families are also running to Liuhe, saying yes. It’s better to buy jewelry and rouge here."

"Isn't it? Now in the Yingtian family, the master of the family ran to Liuhe Qikong Bridge, which has become a custom. It is not easy for these Yangzhou businessmen to do this business!" Gu Chunfeng said. .

"Mr. Gu, why are you paying attention to business today? I am afraid there are other meanings behind you?" Zhan Tianqi squinted his eyes.

Gu Chunfeng smiled and said: "I can't hide anything from the adults! I want to tell the adults about a person, who is only sixteen years old, but now he has a great reputation in Jinling.

He is also from Yangzhou. There is a lot of evidence that the biggest boss behind these Yangzhou businessmen is this person. I even suspect that this person is also the person behind Nie Yong. Your lord, is this person worthy of attention? "

Zhan Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You are talking about Lu Zheng? The Liner of the Lu family, indeed, this is not bad! Mr. means..."

Gu Chunfeng said: "East Palace is just at the time of employing people. The world is big and there are so many talented talents. How many talents can the East Palace get, how many opportunities the prince can win in the future.

Not to mention the talents like Lu Zheng in Jiangnan, even if they are in Dakang, they are very good, sir, such talents must not be neglected. "

Zhan Tianqi nodded slightly and said: "Mr. Gu, I understand all the truths you said. But I have always had two doubts in my mind. The first doubt is that I heard that this son has a very close relationship with the Prince of Qin, and that the Prince of Qin is in Yangzhou. Gave him a big house.

The second doubt is that this son is the son of the Lu family in Jiangning. The name Jiangnan Quanshu is a bit sensitive. Although Donggong is not afraid of those with ulterior motives chewing the tongue, but the prince really wants the children of Jiangnan Quanshu to be the humerus of his confidant, taking time. , It will inevitably not cause a lot of criticism! "

Gu Chunfeng frowned slightly, and said, "My lord, the old man is ashamed, and no one has considered it so detailed..."

Zhan Tianqi said again: "Besides, this son is only a teenager after all, and his fame is just a talent. With his current status and status, it is not appropriate to be too polite.

If he is a jinshi, I would have reported this matter to the prince. It would be worthwhile for the prince to condescend and condescend himself!

So, for the time being, I just want to draw up a guide for the prince, and talk about the situation of this son. Our Donggong is the same as the Jiangnan Quanzhou. We should pay attention to this son first, and we can slowly follow up other things..."
