Dark Palm Jiaozhi Chapter 41 Going to the Banquet

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Oh, it seems that the old man is not a good person in the eyes of Young Master District." Ruan Phuc Luo Min did not continue to be aggressive, stroking his beard and smiling.

    "The name of the Buddha of your Lao Wan family is unknown to everyone. If you lie even half a word, the sky will strike you like lightning." Seeing that the old fox was planning to let him go, Ou Zhongda quickly sent him a bunch of flattery.  .

    "Come, let me introduce someone to Mr. Ou. This Ji Hongchang is the adopted son of Mr. Ou. I believe Mr. Ou has already heard about it!" Ruan Fulomin pulled Zhou Shixiong and introduced him to Ou Zhongda.  Ou Zhongda hurriedly stepped forward to salute, grinned, and narrowed his eyes.  "I've seen Master Ji in Zhongda, Guangnan District, helping the family run some small businesses. I heard that there is a big move in Lang Son Prefecture, so I came over to take a look at the excitement."

    When Ou Zhongda introduced himself, he did not forget to clarify that it seemed that he really did not come to Lang Son House on behalf of the Guangnan District family.  Zhou Shixiong cupped his fists and returned the greeting, "I'm Ji Hongchang, I've met Lord District."

    Before Ou Zhongda could say a few words, Ruan Phuc Luo Min became unhappy and drove them away with a sullen face.  "Hongchang wants to show the old man around, Mr. District, just do it yourself if you have nothing to do."

    Ou Zhongda didn't dare to look at the old fox, and resigned with an aggrieved look on his face, "I'm extremely frightened for disturbing the old man's elegant mood. I will hold a banquet at Pinxiang Pavilion tonight to apologize to the old man. I hope the old man can reward me. Master Ji, go with me and help."  I would like to say a few kind words to the old man." Ou Zhongda is also an interesting person. He backed away all the way while talking, and when he finished speaking, he almost retreated to the street, without giving Ruan Phuc Luo Min a chance to refuse.

    After the interesting fat man left, Ruan Fulomin put away the exaggerated expression on his face, shook his head and said, "Hongchang, don't underestimate this guy. I have suffered losses at his hands in the past few years. His future life is terrible." Zhou Shixiong  I thought that Ou Zhongda, who was completely suppressed by the old fox, only had some skills, but he didn't expect that he could make Ruan Phuc Luo Min suffer. It was really not easy.

    "Guangnan is so far away, what is he doing in Lang Son?" Zhou Shixiong meant not only the distance, but also the fact that they belong to hostile forces. It is impossible for Ou Zhongda to gain anything from coming to participate in the trade fair.

    Ruan Phuc Luo Min clearly understood Zhou Shixiong's words, "This man's actions are unfathomable. He must have a plan in mind, and he should reveal some tonight." It seems that Ruan Phuc Luo Min attaches great importance to Ou Zhongda's invitation, and is not because of it.  The other party forced the request and refused.

    The appearance of the big fat man Ou Zhongda was just a small episode. Zhou Shixiong and Ruan Phuc Luomin soon began to discuss the issue of the exchange again.  Based on Zhou Shixiong's knowledge and analysis, there is no place in Jiaozhi except Shenglong Mansion that is suitable for setting up such an institution.  Ruan Phuc Luo Min is very important in the business district of northern Cochin. If he takes the initiative to organize wealthy businessmen to form a chamber of commerce, he can absorb no matter how much goods he has.

    "Chamber of Commerce? This may be difficult to do." Ruan Phuc Luo Min was not optimistic about the Chamber of Commerce's proposal. Zhou Shixiong was afraid that he did not understand the characteristics of the Chamber of Commerce, so he explained very seriously.  "The Chamber of Commerce is an organization formed by free alliances between merchants. Its main function is to resolve disputes between merchants, communicate smoothly and exchange information. The Chamber of Commerce cannot force others to join or withdraw, nor can it force others to follow the orders of the Chamber of Commerce and do things that harm themselves.  "

    "Hongchang, your idea is very good, but the problem is that you don't understand the foundation of Jiaozhi's wealthy merchants. For example, Long Qingxiang, which Lao Chan is in charge of, belongs to the Ruan Phuc family. Although Lao Chan has the title of leader, there are actually many things that he cannot handle.  The person who really grasps Long Qingxiang¡¯s idea is actually the head of the Ruan Phuc clan. Other wealthy businessmen are basically similar to Long Qingxiang. They are the spokespersons of various forces, and many times they are not able to negotiate business. "

    Ruan Phuc Luo Min gave Zhou Shixiong a basic knowledge lecture, allowing Zhou Shixiong to have a deeper understanding of the political and economic conditions of Cochin.  The North and South Vietnam Dynasty under the control of the Zheng family accounted for two-thirds of the total area of ????Jiaochin, but the population was almost the same as that of the south. If you include the refugees who peacefully transformed Chenla, the population of the south was larger than that of the north.  In this era, population is a component of strength. A large population can not only levy more taxes, but also have a relatively abundant supply of troops in the event of war.  Zheng Jian, Zheng Song and his son tried hard for nearly a hundred years but failed to win the Southern Dynasties. This was largely due to insufficient population.

    These are general situations, and the lords of various places almost all rule the local areas in the form of clans. In this regard, they are almost the same as the Ming Dynasty's Jixizhou policy.  The only difference is that the Ming Dynasty divided the prefecture into multiple states and enfeoffed them to chieftains, while Jiaozhi did not have prefectures or counties below the prefecture. Instead, towns were set up where various ethnic groups lived, and they were nominally under the jurisdiction of the governor of the prefecture.

    For the Le Dynasty and the North Vietnam Dynasty, which were completely unable to implement centralization, the benefits of doing so were obvious.  A government is a country, and the forces within the government are intricately interfering with each other. The owner of the government can only rely on the power of the imperial court to rule the place.  Once the imperial court shows dissatisfaction with the palace lord, very few palace lords can withstand the pressure.

    Not to mention the Li Dynasty in the south, in the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam, only Taiyuan Mansion was independent and implemented a system of integrating government and education, twisting all the forces in the government together and jointly abiding by the orders of the palace master.  It is no exaggeration to say that Taiyuan Mansion can challenge any force in the Northern Vietnam Dynasty, including Thang Long Mansion controlled by the Zheng family."Since Taiyuan Mansion is so powerful, why didn't Zheng clan attack him?" Zhou Shixiong had been to Taiyuan Mansion, and he liked the cleanliness of Taiyuan Mansion very much.

    "Of course he is kept to contain our Ruan Phuc family. Is there any other reason besides this?" Ruan Phuc Luo Min's answer seemed strange, and Zhou Shixiong thought for a while before he figured out what it meant.  Taiyuan Prefecture is very strong but only has one prefecture, while the Ruan Phuc family occupies four prefectures.  If Ruan Fubao hadn't made it clear that he wanted to attack Tuyen Quang Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture would have been able to maintain the current situation unchanged, let alone revenge.

    "Hongchang understands. Rich merchants from all provinces have to serve the clan. Even if they form a chamber of commerce, they can't really act in accordance with business rules. It seems that the exchange can't be done." Zhou Shixiong lamented that he contributed such a good way to make money for free.  If you come out, not only will you not get any praise, but you will also be called naive. It¡¯s hard to be a good person!

    "The current situation is definitely not going to work. Unless someone breaks the deadlock between the North and the South and ends this protracted war, none of Hong Chang's good ideas will be of use." Nguyen Phuc Loc Min also lamented that he had contact with this young man Ji Hong Chang.  The longer I lived, the more difficult I found this person to guess. How did he come up with such a complicated business idea?

    That night, Zhou Shixiong accompanied Ruan Phuc Luo Min to the Pinxiang Pavilion for a banquet.  Zhou Shixiong thought it was just a small gathering for a few people, but he realized that he was wrong when he came to Pinxiang Pavilion.  Various carriages were parked at the door, almost blocking the street in front of Pinxiang Pavilion.  The fat man Ou Zhongda stood at the gate and directed the servants to drive away the carriages and clear the street for others to pass, acting like a traffic director.

    "Oh, Mr. Ruan Phuc is here. Please forgive me for not seeing the old man's car. I'm sorry." Zhou Shixiong helped Ruan Phuc Luomin get out of the carriage, and Ou Zhongda rushed over to greet him immediately.

    "What's the purpose of Master District creating such a big scene?" Ruan Fulomin pointed at the long queue of cars with his walking stick and asked unceremoniously.

    "The old man is too worried. When I invited you two, I never thought that it would end up like this. It's just that my eldest brother said that I can't neglect the old man and must find a suitable person to accompany him for wine. Although Lang Son Palace is full of people,  But there is really no one who is qualified to compare with the old man, so I can only invite my peers to support my brother." Ou Zhongda's explanation, let alone Ruan Phuc Luo Min, I am afraid that even the stray dogs passing by will not believe it.

    The old man was very calm, glanced at him contemptuously and said nothing, motioning for Ji Hongchang to go in.  Ou Zhongda followed behind, cautiously not daring to say anything.  He knew that his elder brother's actions must have angered Ruan Phuc Luo Min, an old fox, and there would be a good show next. It would be great if he was not the one on stage.

    Ou Zhongda¡¯s eldest brother, Ou Boda, is completely opposite to his younger brother.  He's tall, strong, thick-browed and big-eyed. He has a hearty smile that makes people hate him. He's so damn perfect!  "The old man is here, please, please quickly."

    As soon as he walked into the door of Pinxiang Pavilion, the future head of Guangnan was already greeted from inside. Zhou Shixiong knew that this was the rightful owner without any introduction.  There was no way, this guy's aura was so powerful that if he hadn't been following Ruan Fulomin, Zhou Shixiong would have hidden his face in shame and left.

    "Boda, I haven't seen anyone learn how to set up formations in more than a year." Ruan Fu Luomin can laugh and curse at Ou Zhongda, but he really doesn't dare to be too arrogant towards the future head of Guangnan Palace. After all, Li's current momentum  It is very fierce, and it may be possible to regain the control of Cochin one day. It is not in the interest of Nguyen Phuc to fall out with the main followers of the Le family.

    "Haha, the old man is really good at joking, how dare I play tricks with you." You're laughing your ass off, you're crazy!  Zhou Shixiong looked at Ou Boda who was swaying freely in front of him and cursed in his heart.

    "It seems that Boda won't be able to solve the mystery if I don't go in. I reluctantly play with you." Zhou Shixiong was slandering the handsome sunny man, but Ruan Fulomin looked at Ou Boda very solemnly. He was different from Zhou Shixiong.  Zhou Shixiong only found out today that there were people named Ou Zhongda and Ou Boda. How could he possibly know how awesome these two brothers were.

    "I thank the old man for taking care of me. I just want to ask the old man for help. Please relax." He said in a tight tone. Ruan Phuc Luo Min even said that he was going to fall out, so Ou Boda revealed a little bit of news.

    On the third floor of Pinxiang Pavilion, there were four people sitting at the only banquet table, the Ou brothers and Nguyen Phuc Luo Min and Ji Hongchang.  The very hospitable Ou Boda asked who this was after entering the suite on the third floor.  Finally gave Zhou Shixiong a chance to introduce himself.  "Ji Hongchang, I have met Mr. District."

    "It turns out that my brother is Ji Hongchang, I'm so rude." It seems that Ou Boda really regarded Zhou Shixiong as Ruan Phuoc Luo Min's follower, otherwise he wouldn't have said anything rude.

    "Master Ji, please don't blame the eldest brother. He just came to Lang Son City from Guang Ninh Prefecture and was a little tired and neglected." Ou Zhongda helped his eldest brother find the stairs. Zhou Shixiong observed Ou Boda carefully and found that he was indeed very tired.  ?The image is all forced on.
