Jianghu: Get the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms at the beginning

Deep Willow Hall.

Zhang Youde took a sip of the tea soup, slowly put the snack in his hand into his mouth, and muttered:

"Have you found the four guards who were looking after the house before?"

Zhang Sheng shook his head with a gloomy expression.

He didn't expect that when he returned to the mansion, the four guards at the door had neglected their duties and could not be found!

Thinking of this, he not only complained in his heart.

You bastards usually go out to drink wine when you're on duty, but now you're on duty going to Gou Lan Washi?

Do you take me as the head of the family seriously?

Thinking of this, he snorted coldly, and said seriously to the two guards kneeling next to him: "Send a few smart and capable people to find these four idiots for me, either to see their corpses or to see their people! "

"Did you hear that? Humph!"

"I understand, little one!"

The two guards were shaking their heads, but they still felt a chill in their hearts.

Zhang Sheng's words were undoubtedly a death sentence for the four buddies who often drank wine with them!

If you need to meet people for any job, I’m afraid it’s only the first half of the sentence...

"Get out of here!"

When Zhang Sheng saw that the two guards did not get up immediately, he patted the wooden table angrily.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates, get out of here right now!"

Seeing that the head of the family asked the two to contact his subordinates to find someone, they how dared to stay here and ran out of Shenliu Hall quickly.

At this time, Zhang Shengcai returned to Zhang Youde with a smile on his face and said warmly: "Father, these four guards have neglected their duties and deserve death. I will replace them with four smart and capable ones right away!"

Zhang Sheng smiled flatteringly and said: "The gifts received for your birthday banquet this time have been calculated!"

Zhang Youde seemed calm about what happened before.

To him, it was just the death of four insignificant guards. The Zhang family in Tianmen Town had a lot of money, and those who were willing to work for them could line up from the gate of Zhang's mansion to the county government office.

Here, in Tianmen Town, the Zhang family is the emperor of the land!

However, I think the old man who was in a state of calmness also became interested when he heard his eldest son's words. He put down the tea cup in his hand, closed the lid, slowly opened his slightly narrowed eyes, and said seriously: "Quickly Report it!"

Seeing this, Zhang Sheng quickly picked up a pile of recorded gift lists and began to tell the story vividly.

"The Li family in Tianmen Town, the gifts total four hundred taels of silver!"

"Tianmen Town Zhendong Lin's gift is two pieces of jade pendants from Hetian outside the Great Wall, and three hundred taels of silver!"

"Tianmen Town Yamen Xie Jin, a congratulatory gift of two hundred taels of silver!"

"Tianmen Zhenchen..."

"The total number of gifts for this birthday banquet is three thousand six hundred and eighty taels!"

"Father, the guests wishing you a birthday today include not only the caravan from beyond the Great Wall, the caravan from Yanzhou City, the government, but also countless people from the martial arts world. It can be said that your birthday banquet is full of gold and jade. Congratulations to my father!"

Zhang Youde was born in a lower class, and what he couldn't stand the most in his life was the soft tongue of his relatives. Hearing the flattery from his eldest son, he suddenly became a little happy.

He picked up the silk handkerchief with satisfaction, wiped away the food residue from his mouth, and nodded like a teachable child.

"That's good, that's good. Even if they give me the honor of being an old man, I'll write down the ones with the most gifts. When the time comes, our Zhang family will cooperate with them and make a profit of three to five points as appropriate!"

Zhang Sheng: "Yes, father!"

Zhang Youde glanced at Zhang Sheng, and then looked around with a look in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Sheng quickly waved his hands to the guards around him, indicating that he had something secret to discuss.

After all the patrolling guards around him were gone, Zhang Youde slowly spoke and said:

"With this nearly four thousand taels of grain silver, my family has become richer again!"

Zhang Sheng also picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea soup, with a hint of pride in his tone:

"Father, we have four treasure houses down here. Including the nearly 4,000 taels of silver, the total is over 20,000 taels. There are also more than 300 literati calligraphy and paintings, and more than 400 antique collections. This is the foundation of our family!”

As he spoke, he proudly stepped on the ground under his feet, the meaning was self-evident.

Zhang Youde nodded with satisfaction.

This is also the reason why he handed over the head of the family to his eldest son Zhang Sheng.

Since the eldest son became the head of the family, the Zhang family's ability to amass wealth has made a qualitative leap. Not only did they contact two caravans from outside the Great Wall, they reached cooperation with Yanzhou City, they also used tenant farmers who didn't know how to manage to win over the people behind them. This vast land of dozens of acres!

Although the Zhang family relied on Zhang Shun, the iron-faced adviser in Yanzhou City, to establish such a foundation, Zhang Sheng deserves half of the credit!

What makes Zhang Youde most proud is that his eldest son is more ruthless than himself!

In today's arena, only by being ruthless can you make money!

At the beginning, Tianmen Town was just a poor family, but now?

Thinking of this, Zhang Youde affirmed: "These silver coins will take time to go outside and contact a few more agile guys to send them to the secret room as soon as possible. Every time I leave so much money outside for one more day, I will have trouble sleeping and eating for a day. I remember that after I moved in, the guys Handle it cleanly!”

"yes!"

Zhang Sheng nodded in affirmation.

"Oh, by the way, what's going on over there at the secret passage?"

Zhang Sheng answered honestly: "Our secret passage to Daqing Mountain in the north was excavated a few days ago, and now it has entered into the final work. Every day, a wave of guards go there day and night to drive away the wild beasts and strengthen the secret passage!"

When Zhang Youde heard these words, his heart was relieved.

Although businessmen are very capable of making money, compared with scholars and officials, they are still in the lower class. Every scholar he meets is a head above his head. Zhang Youde always likes to worry about things. Xie Jin, the mayor of Tianmen Town, is about to step down. He doesn't want to The court replaced a tough-headed young man to call the officers and soldiers to raid the house!

It is also an expedient strategy to dig the secret road. If officers and soldiers really raid the house, they will have enough time to transfer the treasures to Yanzhou.

Although there are many powerful forces there, at least the tens of thousands of taels of silver "accumulated" over the years can allow the descendants to eat and drink without worries!

"Send two more guards over tomorrow to ensure the safety of the northern secret passage and prevent it from collapsing!"

"There is also a secret passage to the east. We must seize the time to prepare! Time waits for no one. I am afraid that the old fox Xie Jin will bite us in the end!"

"Probably not..."

Zhang Sheng hesitated and said: "Xie Jin can be considered as having eaten our stolen money, and also ate 20% of the silver and food provided by the court for disaster relief last time. Isn't he afraid that we will expose these things?"

"idiot!"

Zhang Youde hates that iron cannot become steel.

The eldest son still lacks a lot in politics.

"It is precisely because he knows that we have also received disaster relief money and food that he seems confident now. Our family's wealth is here, what about him? His Xie Jin's family is in Bianjing! That is the imperial city! He is dead, these If things come out, we will destroy the nine tribes!"

"So what do we do now?"

Zhang Sheng was also a little distracted when he heard his father's words.

"Now let's make peace with him. He sent us a birthday gift this time, and obviously he doesn't want to break up with us. You can give him a 10% share of the grain merchant business you contacted before, and wait until these gold and silver treasures are safely transported out. , we have nothing to worry about if we break up with him again!"

"Father is wise!"
