The people who were making a living outside Xia Songguan were either idlers who came from nowhere, or arrogant men who had already made a name for themselves, as well as those craftsmen or merchants who traveled between Xia Song and Zihao. , everyone knows the territory of Honglu Pawnshop, and the reason is obvious. In addition to the pawn business, Honglu Pawnshop has become more and more manpower as the family wealth becomes richer. Obviously, it can no longer afford the huge body, so it will It makes sense to branch out into other businesses.
It seems that it is extremely difficult for poor people to become rich through business. However, for the established Honglu Pawnshop, it is not a difficult task at all to open up a business, and there are many obstacles ahead, regardless of money and favors. The masters of the pawn shop no longer need to stock up, and the big shopkeeper in the Honglu Pawn Shop has been passed down from generation to generation. The people around Xia Songbian Pass and the rules of doing business have long been familiar with it. In the final analysis, it doesn't take much effort. With just a little push, the Honglu Pawn Shop can already gain a firm foothold in the nearby pawn shop from top to bottom. But even so, everything needs to be done carefully. A few years ago, the big shopkeeper had gone to place old friends and new friends everywhere, probably doing a lot of work for the Honglu Pawnshop. From officials and petty officials around Xia Song Zihao's border to down to the treasurers of various security bureaus outside the customs, they spent almost a whole year visiting, and they actually managed to control most of the large-scale shop gatherings at Xia Song Zihao's border to Honglu Pawnshop. On hand, there are the same number of escort bureaus who have first ventilated the air, raised the flag, and set up escorts. Firstly, they can personally receive the valuable items collected from various branches of Honglu Pawnshop. Secondly, they can also protect the goods for merchants coming and going, even if there may not be a pawnshop owner. The amount of money earned from the business is quite substantial.
The reason is that the reputation of Honglu Pawnshop has grown too much over the years, attracting experts from all over to invest. The big shopkeeper is also good at making friends with people in the world, so after some consideration, he decided to take over all these people. Entering the Honglu Pawnshop, the more unemployed people there are, the less the salary. After a long time, I realized that the Honglu Pawnshop could not make ends meet just by relying on the pawnshop business. At that time, the second step was to eliminate most of the idle people in the entire Honglu pawnshop. Except for those extremely skilled masters who could use the power of a few people to frighten outsiders who were watching for trouble, there could not be too many idle people left.
Bidige
However, after the grand occasion lasted for several years, the Honglu Pawnshop was severely damaged for no reason. Not only was the big shop owner assassinated, and his life or death was unknown, but almost 50% of the top masters of the entire Honglu Pawnshop also died, just trying to get their money back. More than ten people came, and soon they all quit the Honglu Pawn Shop. Even after several of them left, they never set foot in the world again, preferring to find a secluded place to make a living by making firewood and mulberry trees.
When Peng Sanzhang explained the matter in detail to Wen Yu, the latter was sitting in a wild bamboo forest, borrowing a knife to break the bamboo, cutting off the outer bamboo clothes, and then borrowing Peng Sanzhang's waist knife to combine with his own. He picked it up, pierced it into the tree shape, set up a sword gate, cut off the slender bamboo thorns, and then broke it with his hands after roasting it over the fire. The end was covered with a layer of strong rice paper to make a very delicate and delicate rolling lantern. He handed it to Qiao Xuan and said, If the ball is like a rolling ball and the fire goes out in the lamp, and it is time to add more candles, just puncture the rice paper and add more candles. They are just cute and cute objects during the festival. Most of them are used once and then not renewed.
But Qiao Xuan has rarely played with objects since he was a child. Looking at this rolling lantern now, he felt happy in his heart. He shook his head and said that he would never abandon this rolling lantern. Then he picked up the rolling lantern and went to play with it in the bamboo forest. Noisy.
"According to what you just said, it is reasonable for the head of the Honglu Pawnshop to do what he does. Since he wants to expand his manpower, he cannot make ends meet. If he adds two more hands asking for salary, he will naturally need to make the business bigger. These, smart people, most likely have to act like this to be considered appropriate. They cannot offend all the people in the world who have come to Honglu Pawnshop for no reason. It will be even more difficult not to say that they will do things in the future. It goes against the moral principles in people’s mouth.”
Wen Yu didn't move her words to Peng Sanzhang until she saw Qiao Xuan jumping away. After pulling out the sword from the tree shape, sheathed the sword with her backhand and said slowly, "As for why Honglu Pawnshop was able to do so in such a short time?" It was so severe that it almost fell apart. Brother Peng didn't seem to get to the point as to why. It was an enemy seeking revenge, or the Honglu Pawnshop had always bullied the weak and usurped other people's business, which caused such a thing. It was a natural disaster. Man-made disasters always have a cause and effect."
For many days, Peng Sanzhang has known that in addition to his extremely high skills, Peng Sanzhang also has a very good mind. Now that he has mentioned a few things about Honglu Pawnshop, he has already seen it quite clearly. In just a few words Looking for any omissions in his words, he quickly bowed his head and apologized, "May I complete a few sentences? The current manager of Honglu Pawn Shop is my eldest brother. There are three sons in this generation of the Peng family. In addition to me and the eldest brother, there are also There is a second brother.”
"The second brother was expelled from the Peng family by my eldest brother for violating family rules. There has been no news for many years. However, it seems that many things that are unfavorable to Honglu Pawnshop have traces of this second brother. Even though there are thousands of dissatisfaction in my heart. I believe it, but I have to go and find out many things on my own. No matter what, I tell myself that my second brother is definitely not the one behind it, but there is irrefutable proof that it is probably my second brother who is adding fuel to the fire."
Wen Yu glanced at Peng Sanzhang in surprise, but he didn't stay for too long, and asked slowly, "Based on your words, I think this person who almost destroyed the Honglu Pawnshop will be destroyed." Is it your second brother who almost killed your eldest brother?"
Peng Sanzhang, who looked very defeated, gritted his teeth and pushed the bottom of his head down.
Brothers' feud has always been a family scandal, and there is no reason to talk about it to outsiders. But the matter has come to this, and if we don't say it, Wen Yu will definitely refuse to help, so we can only say all these words, and then always bow his head, and never say anything again. Be willing to speak. Wen Yu didn't ask any more questions. He just called twice to Qiao Xuan who was playing in the bamboo forest. Four people and three riders left the bamboo forest and headed north of Xia Song.
After only a few hundred steps on the journey, Wen Yu, whose face was always covered by a bamboo hat, glanced at Xingding, who had been very peaceful recently, and unprovokedly accelerated the pace of the black deer until he had taken hundreds of steps, and then walked slowly.
"The old man in the forest obviously listened very carefully, but he didn't say a word after that. Is it because he had some concerns in his heart, or because he didn't think about any ideas?"
Before speaking, Wen Yu first kowtowed to Qiao Xuan in front of him, and then saw Xing Ding carrying a small ape on his back, and then opened his mouth to ask.
Xing Ding also knew the meaning of this move, but he was very shrewd and did not point it out. He replied, "What the young man said is not necessarily a lie. Besides, the old man of Honglu Pawnshop has heard of this name. Since then, The head of the Ren family took over the pawnshop, and the business was very big. Not to mention the radius of a hundred miles, most of the Xia Songs might not be willing to mess with it, and they had absolutely nothing to do with the Xian family. At least the people in Dayuan thought. Recruiting Honglu Pawnshop from Xia Songbian Pass is not as easy as imagined. What's more, before that, Honglu Pawnshop was just a prosperous pawnshop in the eyes of the Immortal family. Lie and deceive."
"But after thinking about it carefully, what Peng Sanzhang said seems a bit strange to me. How can he be an ordinary person who can transform Honglu Pawnshop from an ordinary pawnshop to such a big one? Although it is complicated, it can still be summed up in a few words. The more intelligent people are, the more they become good at dancing. They are well versed in the rules and regulations of doing things in the world, and know how to advance and retreat. How could the master of Honglu Pawnshop easily form such a knot? A great enemy is coming. Not to mention how the enemy found such a group of masters, the Honglu Pawnshop collapsed too quickly. Without years of planning, even if such a number of masters were found, they would still only be injured, not their muscles. Topping and deboning.”
After Wen Yu heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyes again, but when he looked at Xingding, his eyes were filled with strange expressions.
"It's really not easy for an old man who has worked for tigers for many years and has never left the Yuan Dynasty to think of this. If he had not been born as an ape slave, maybe he could have become a guest at the throne of the emperor and made suggestions."
Although it was pleasant to hear, this was not a compliment.
Xingding was still minding his own business teasing the little ape. He seemed to have caught Wen Yu's gaze and laughed twice.
"Don't worry, the old man is now regarded by many people in the Great Yuan Dynasty as a bear that peels off the palms and guts. I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to return to the territory of the Great Yuan openly in this life. But since you are strong enough and your kung fu realm is high enough, you can kill one family and then quickly Under the eaves of one house, I went to work as a lackey under the eaves of another house. I didn’t have any bad feelings. Even if I thought of something, I would answer all the questions I asked. "
Just like a piece of grass on the wall, it will fall wherever the wind blows.
But Wen Yu thought of something, and her eyes rarely showed a very real smile. Different from the cold and bone-chilling past, they were bright for a moment, and then the brilliance in her eyes quickly fell away, and she kowtowed at Qiao Xuan again, After getting rid of the small formation surrounding Qiao Xuan, and when Peng Sanzhang urged his horse to catch up, he asked the men who had withdrawn from the arena and left the hermitage of Honglu Pawn Shop, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.
Peng Sanzhang knew Wen Yu's temperament. When he was on the road, he always wanted to ask a few words to the old man carrying the ape on his back. However, since the latter took a deep look at him, he knew that there were many things he shouldn't ask and would honestly He pursed his lips and didn't dare to say more. This was the rule when asking for help.
On the way to Xingding, there were also many emotions.
At such an age, Wen Yu's ability to think about big things and small feelings is already at a high level. But the most frightening thing is that all the way to this day, Wen Yu's thoughts are still rising high. His method of solving this matter seems to be much more sophisticated than his own.
His profound cultivation and extraordinary thinking always make people envious until their eyes turn red.
