From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 425

The cold and arrogant words came in, accompanied by the sound of breaking the door, which scared several people in the room.

Qiao Chaiqing was stunned at first, and then he almost cried as if he saw his own father.

"Zhong... Zhou..."

He choked and didn't dare to call his name, so he could only shout: "Boss, you are finally here! We are almost being bullied to death!"

The two people beside him were also confused. Why is there another boss above the boss?

Qiao Chaiqing quickly pulled out a chair and said anxiously: "Sit down, sit down, boss, sit down, you don't know, this bastard surnamed Huang is too arrogant, he is going to swallow us alive!"

Huang Zuoyu was also confused. What does this mean? The arrival of a young man instantly made Qiao Chaiqing arrogant.

He looked at the man in front of him carefully. He didn't look like a big shot at all. Instead, he looked like a scholar who had just come of age.

He felt more confident and narrowed his eyes and said, "Whose child are you? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, and you still dare to curse? Come on! Get this guy out!"

No one responded, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't call me old man, your lackeys have been beaten so badly that they can't stand up now."

Huang Zuoyu glared and said, "You still dare to beat people? This is outrageous, right? Believe it or not, I will report to the police right now!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Report to your mother! Do you think you won't be beaten? Come on, break this old man's legs for me!"

Guan Lu walked in with a few people, and without any nonsense, he directly lifted Huang Zuoyu up.

Huang Zuoyu panicked on the spot and said quickly: "No... Let's talk about business, why do we have to fight, Qiao, let's discuss our business slowly."

Qiao Chaiqing was no longer panicked now, and couldn't help but sneered: "Mr. Huang, your attitude just now was not like this. It's a pity that I can't make the decision now. You should talk to my boss."

Huang Zuoyu looked at Zhou Yuan and laughed dryly: "That... Young Master, when we talk about business, we must make money in harmony. Only when we sit down can we find out the result."

Zhou Yuan walked to his side, pulled out a beard from his beard, and then said lightly: "Listen, there is nothing to cooperate between us, this is the first."

"Second, we will set up sales points in a short time and sell cloth and silk normally. If we encounter such incidents as smashing, looting and burning again, no matter who did it, I will make trouble for you."

"Third, we welcome competition, don't say I am bullying the market."

After speaking, he moved his right foot lightly and kicked him on the calf.

With a snap, Huang Zuoyu screamed out loudly, his face twisted in pain and covered in sweat.

Zhou Yuan sat down and said with a smile: "If you are not satisfied, you can report to the police. This is what you often say. Now it's my turn."

After speaking, he winked at Guan Lu.

So Qiao Chaiqing was thrown to the ground and wailed in pain.

He struggled to stand up, holding the wall and gritted his teeth and said: "What is your name!"

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said: "You still want to know my name? Oh, okay, I can tell you, my surname is Guan."

Surname Guan? I haven't heard of any powerful people!

Huang Zuoyu sneered: "Young Master Guan, we will see you later!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Settle the bill before leaving. Thank you, Mr. Huang, for inviting me to dinner. I will not pursue the previous looting and burning. You should be careful in the future."

"Just wait and see!"

Huang Zuoyu snorted and limped out with difficulty.

Until then, Zhou Yuan said: "Come on, it's time to eat. I've been traveling all day and I'm tired."

Guan Lu and others looked at each other, and sat down one after another, pouring wine for Zhou Yuan. The group of people were very happy.

Zhuang Xuansu frowned and whispered: "Zhou Yuan, you are asking for death. Why are you pretending to be His Majesty's surname? This is not the way to use the power of the tiger!"

Zhou Yuan said: "This is not to make it easier for you. I want to report my real name, and you, the head of the inner court, don't care."

Zhuang Xuansu pouted and said: "You have a lot of crooked logic, but I advise you to keep a low profile. The local officials may not buy your account, and I may not help you."

Zhou Yuan smiled and whispered: "Do you really think I have no one here?"

Zhuang Xuansu stopped talking. She knew that Zhou Yuan would not suffer any loss.

Just eat!

In this short time on the boat, it is really hard to get a good meal.

She didn't care about anything else, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Qiao Chaiqing asked cautiously: "Um... Lord Zhou, what's going on in the capital? How did it get to this point!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you worried about this? Didn't you see that the head of the inner court is here? It's nothing serious, just a joke."

King-killing is just a joke! This is... too...Qiao Chaiqing didn't know how to describe it, so he just asked the key question: "Master Zhou, we, the Jin merchants, have invested all our wealth in you. You must be reliable, otherwise we are all finished."

Zhou Yuan said: "Master Qiao is wrong. If it weren't for my protection, you would have been finished at the beginning of the year."

"Having a close relationship with King Jing and secretly providing financial support is a serious crime of treason."

"According to her majesty's personality, she will kill you all and then put all your money into the treasury."

"You can still sit and eat now, all because I advised her majesty that you are still useful , that's all."

Qiao Chaiqing was sweating profusely, and quickly raised his glass, swallowed his saliva and said: "Then, then Qiao will toast you, and hope that you will remember the incense of Shanxi merchants and give them a hand. Regarding the salt and iron business in the north, we really want to do it again."

Zhou Yuan raised his glass, touched it lightly, and smiled: "Master Qiao, I like ambitious people. You are not only ambitious, but also capable."

"The future of Shanxi merchants needs you to grasp it well. You'd better do what I arrange for you."

Qiao Chaiqing drank it all in one gulp, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou, we have spent half a year Time, transformation of machines, integration of technology, innovation of dyeing and weaving technology, accumulation for so long, finally waited until today, in this area, our Shanxi merchants did not drag their feet. "

"It's just that in terms of trade exports, there is really no way, the supply is not sufficient, the channels are not open, and we can only worry."

"Tea is the weakness of my northern merchants. We don't have tea mountains, we don't have sufficient supply, and people don't recognize it."

"We have porcelain, but it's still being fired, and the deadline is not yet reached!"

"We have silk now, but the key is... the channels are still blocked, the officials here don't eat our meat, and the Chaozhou merchants support many Many years have passed. "

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about these. Just prepare enough goods for me. At most, in ten days, the export issue will not be the responsibility of the court."

"At that time, I will talk to the Portuguese."

"I will open the road for you, but you must master the detailed process of how to prepare enough goods, how to compete, and how to sell them."

Qiao Chaiqing took a reassurance pill, laughed immediately, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I guarantee to complete the task. When doing business, we Shanxi merchants have no shortage of means and wisdom."

It feels good to have a backer. Qiao Chaiqing felt that the meal tonight would be more fragrant.
