Then Hu Zhiyu asked for some details and shopkeeper Hu's own thoughts, and then fell into silence. But Shopkeeper Cui was even more anxious than him! Because over the years, he has used the power of the Hu family to do business outside, and he has been able to do everything against him! Now that such a golden mountain is placed in front of him, how can he not be anxious?
At the same time, he knew that the Hu family could not swallow this golden mountain, and could only control it with the help of the power of the Dominion Association. So he was afraid that his master would hesitate and lose this opportunity.
After a long time, Hu Zhiyu said slowly: "I know about this! But Wu Ninghou is not easy to deal with. After all, the person standing behind him is Jin Shang! So this matter needs to be planned slowly!"
Shopkeeper Hu said: "If this is the case, I would suggest that we should start from the officialdom first, send people to find his faults, and then proceed step by step, and finally separate the fiefdom from him! And one more thing, the county magistrate of Tianjin must It’s only us who can do it!”
Hu Zhiyu nodded and said: "It makes sense. I think we should start by replacing the Tianjin County Magistrate! As for other matters, we need to discuss it with some people."
Shopkeeper Hu hesitated and said, "Master, should we rent a shop during this period?"
Hu Zhiyu said with a smile: "We still have to do the business that needs to be done! As for the money to rent the shop, just spend it. Anyway, we will get it back sooner or later!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhiyu bowed slightly and said, "I'll leave this all to you!"
Shopkeeper Hu said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir. There will be no problem with the business! It's just that I think your actions should be faster! Because I have found many people in Tianjin to test the water! And I also saw a lot of people like I am afraid that the people who go to inquire about the information are all those sent by the aristocratic families! They are really powerful and wealthy, and once they enter Tianjin, the competition will be even fiercer!"
Hu Zhiyu said confidently: "It doesn't matter, these people are not our resistance, but our help! I will meet some people as soon as possible in the next few days to talk about this matter!"
In the following period, things turned out just like what Shopkeeper Hu said. Many people really started to pay attention to Tianjin after putting aside the affairs of the court! They almost unanimously sent a small caravan and trustworthy people to check the situation in Tianjin, and the news they got back was all good news!
So in less than two months, just before the Spring Festival, the leasing of Tianjin shops instantly reached a peak! The annual rent of a shop in a good location has risen to 16,000 taels! The pier also receives an average of more than five sea-going ships every day!
A large amount of goods gathered in Tianjin, and then were taken to all directions by caravans! The highest one-day transaction amount reached 310,000 taels!
Even Lifu's daily wages for transporting goods have risen to one hundred and fifty cents a day! This is a sky-high price compared to before! This price even attracts many ordinary people to the dock to earn some pocket money to support their families!
What makes Liu Haojia even more dumbfounded is that brothels in Tianjin have made great progress, with employees all over Hebei, Henan and Shandong! Almost six times the original number!
The reason is that during the period before the Spring Festival, merchants really made a lot of money, so they naturally have to spend money. In addition, they also have to build relationships with each other and find sources of goods, so those who have high social status and are good at adjusting the atmosphere The top names are naturally welcomed!
And those guys and escorts naturally want to enjoy it if they have spare money! However, the money in their hands is not as good as that of merchants, and they cannot afford to hire top names, so ordinary brothels have become their first choice! That’s why this situation was created!
As for restaurants, let alone restaurants, a large number of poultry and livestock were transported from the surrounding areas and it was not enough for consumption! It can be said that this wave before the Spring Festival has eaten almost all the living animals in the surrounding villages and towns! It can be seen how prosperous the scene was at that time!
However, the behavior of everyone in the capital seemed very strange! The ordinary people in the market were happily discussing things in Tianjin, and they all said that it was a good place to make a living! And once someone questions it, someone will say: "My neighbor so-and-so's so-and-so is in Tianjin! He sent a message back, asking us all to go to work..." It's as if he saw it with his own eyes!
But as they said, there are indeed many refugees from the capital rushing to Tianjin, hoping to make a living there! And they did get the stable life they hoped for!
As for the official circles, there is silence, as if the opening of the sea in Tianjin does not exist at all! Needless to say, the nobles are eager to make a fortune in silence! The civil servants did not talk about Tianjin because they felt they were losing face!
Because the affairs of opening up the sea have always been in their hands, but now they are quietly taken over by a warrior. How can they have the nerve to talk about this matter! But privately, they were not idle. Groups of people rushed to Tianjin, renting shops and delivering goods. They were very busy! I really made a lot of money before the Spring Festival! That's why the capital has the appearance of two heavens of ice and fire!
With Tianjin in such chaos, Liu Haojia and others will naturally not be idle! Because Zhang Juzheng's resurrection has been decided, there is no big deal with Tan Cuiying. She had nothing to do except reading the Di newspaper and the information from Jinyiwei every day, so she simply took over all the work in the backyard and served the two people who were busy outside very attentively!
As for Liu Haojia and Zhang Peijia, they will naturally not be able to get away with it! Zhang Peijia has to allocate manpower and arrange supply of goods every day. She is already very busy! During the busiest days, I even fell asleep in the carriage, and was finally carried back to the bedroom by Liu Haojia!
And Liu Haojia is even more busy! A large number of people gathered in Tianjin, and with them came a large number of thieves, gangsters, and even robbers!
It was relatively easy to deal with those petty thieves. Liu Haojia directly ordered several gangs in Tianjin to disperse the people. Once they were confirmed to be thieves, they tied them to poles and showed them to the public!
If he is caught twice and sold directly to mine coal, it will make the coal mine bosses in Xishan smile with joy! Because they rarely receive such large amounts of strong labor!
As for dealing with bandits, it was also very simple. Liu Haojia even wished for more robbers! Because they are Wu Anjun's best sparring partners!
Therefore, once Liu Haojia receives information about the appearance of robbers, the first person to be dispatched is Ye Bushou, who is in training! In the plan, they will follow the trail and find prey along the way under the leadership of Lao Yebushou, and then the Wu'an Army's large contingent will follow!
