    "The time, place, and people are favorable?" Wang Shimao was still puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"

    "The right time is also the time of floods. When the people of Kunshan were displaced and miserable, our Jiangnan Company brought cement and helped Kunshan County build a long embankment within one month, and it suddenly established a firm foothold in Kunshan."

    Then I heard Wang Mengxiang explain:

    "The location is advantageous. Kunshan is adjacent to one state and five counties. It is in the center of Suzhou and even Susong. It has a huge advantage in developing industry and commerce. It is only because of the low-lying terrain and annual floods that everyone avoids it, making it the poorest place in Susong.  The place."

    "But now that we have cement, everything is different. We can build a solid embankment for the entire county in half a year, so that Kunshan will be free from floods and become a land of plenty. What do you think will happen then?"

    Wang Mengxiang grabbed Wang Shimao's arm excitedly and hissed: "It will rise rapidly!"

    "Yeah." Wang Shimao nodded to show that he understood, took out his arm without leaving a trace, and rubbed it.

    "I understand, Renhe means that we have established a deep relationship with the people of Kunshan through embankment construction. This will ensure our unique position in Kunshan, so we cannot do things that hurt the feelings of the people of Kunshan, so we must pay them.  ."

    "That's good!" Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction. It was easy to talk to smart people.  He stood up confidently, looked at Kunnan who was still soaked in the water and said:

    "Countless fertile farmland has come to light again, and the transportation in all directions can finally come into play. We can completely use this place as a raw material base, manufacturing base, and talent reserve base. We can thoroughly develop and grow here and form a loyal army of Kunshan disciples to help us in the south.  Conquer the north and conquer the entire south of the Yangtze River and even the Ming Dynasty!"

    After saying that, he looked at the dumbfounded two kings and added with a smile: "I mean business."

    "Hey, I thought it was the Kunqu Opera troupe" The second king, who had a false alarm, said with a smile.

    The three of them looked at each other and laughed loudly, each understanding what the other meant.

    "The acquisition of Wuji is also an important step under this grand strategy." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Kunshan cannot develop without the support of finance and logistics Oh, you can treat finance as a bank and logistics as transportation.  .¡±

    "That's right." The two kings nodded in understanding. They could still understand the role of transportation in the economy, but what does this bank have to do with economic development?

    But the two of them didn¡¯t dare to ask anymore. They had received a lot of new things today, and their heads were already buzzing.  Anyway, if Young Master said it works, then it must be there.

    "Believe me, within a few years, Kunshan will quickly catch up with all the prefectures and counties outside the city." Zhao Hao said, looking at the two of them casually and said: "If sea trade can be reopened, Kunshan will not surpass Suzhou."  Impossible."

    Hearing Zhao Hao mention the word "sea trade" again, the two kings felt a thump in their hearts. Now they were convinced that Mr. Zhao came here because of matters at sea.

    ¡®Come on, stop hiding it.  ¡¯ The two exchanged glances, and Wang Shimao coughed awkwardly and said:

    "Last time in Yanshan Garden, the young master brought up the affairs of the Xiang family. At that time, Brother Yu was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything."

    As he said that, he glanced at Wang Mengxiang and said, "After the young master left, I felt deeply sorry. Uncle Shi advised me to tell the young master clearly."

    "Brother Linzhou said something serious. It was the first time you and I met. How could we say something deep even if we had only a small acquaintance?" Zhao Hao said hurriedly: "You dare to say that I don't dare to listen."

    "Hahaha." The three of them laughed for a while, and their resentment disappeared.  Wang Shimao smiled and asked, "Do you dare to listen now?"

    "Now you and I are half-brothers, could Brother Linzhou still harm me?" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

    "Of course not." Wang Shimao exhaled a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Today I will explain to my brother that the Xiang family started by supplying goods to maritime merchants. The fire in the first month of this year was because of them  Breaking the rules attracted attacks from other companies.¡±

    "The Xiang family lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a fire, so of course they will take revenge." Wang Shimao continued: "The subsequent riots in Huzhou Fucheng, and even the turmoil that affected Su Song and Hangzhou, all started from this.  "

    "Oh." Zhao Hao nodded and asked, "Which companies also supply goods to maritime merchants?"

    "Yes, there are nine families in total, but they are not fixed. Now they are the Huating Xu family, Hangzhou Qian family, Jinling Xu family, Wuxian Gu family, Changzhou Lu family, and Jiaxing Xiang family"

    After a pause, Wang Shimao said with some difficulty: "There are also the Hua family in Wuxi and the Wang family in Taicang. Of course, we are not involved in maritime affairs. We only sell goods to regular merchants. As for the merchants,Where to buy the goods is not our concern.  "

    "Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded calmly, thinking that this is a primitive whitewashing method, and it must be paired with power to work.

    Of course, it may be that people were too lazy to put too much thought into it in the past and just used it as a fig leaf Hey, fig leaf, such a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere.

    He then asked: "There are only eight families, where is one more?"

    "The other family is the Pinghu Lu family, which is the family of the former Jinyi Guardsmen Lu Bing and Lu Yi." Wang Mengxiang took over the conversation and said: "Last year, the new king came to the throne and liquidated the Lu family. This was also the beginning of all chaos  ¡­¡±

    Then the two of them told Zhao Hao about the past and present lives of the nine families.

    Zhao Hao has already heard most of the content from his grandfather, Hua Shuyang and Hua Boxhen.  But when the same content is spoken by different people, it not only has a different flavor, but also many different things can be heard.

    Zhao Hao patiently listened to them until the end, and finally heard something new.

    "Last month, after we attended the groundbreaking ceremony, we did not return to Taicang. Instead, we went to Huating to attend the meeting convened by Mr. Xu San." Wang Mengxiang sighed: "But the meeting was not successful"

    "Why?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

    "Xu Ying attracted the Xu family of Jinling and wanted to be the new King of Jinghai." Wang Shimao replied:

    "That's not bad. After all, if the Lu family falls, the Xu family is also qualified. But they want to take all 20% of the Lu family's share, and they can't bear it."

    "Originally, the Lu family in Pinghu had 20%, the Xu family 15%, and our families all had 10%. The remaining half went to the Xu family in Jinling Because Nanjing is too far away from us in the Yangtze River Delta, so there is nothing they can do without them.  It¡¯s just that the identity of Wei Guogong is there, and the Xu family of Huating has brought them in. It¡¯s hard for everyone to object, so we can only give them half a share."

    "According to what Xu Ying and Xu Bangning want, the Xu family of Huating will have a 25% share, and the Xu family of Jinling will have a share of 15%. It is simply ridiculous." Wang Mengxiang spat fiercely: "If he  It¡¯s just that I¡¯m still on the throne, or maybe Wei Guogong hasn¡¯t revealed his true form yet, but now there are two plates of rotten radishes, what¡¯s the point of putting old wild ginseng in them?!¡±

    "Xiang Yuanbian left on the spot, and the other families also slapped the table." Wang Shimao said with a bitter smile: "In the end, they broke up on bad terms, and there was no Ding Mao."

    ps. Second update, I will write another update.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
