Gao Pragmatic's appointment can't be delayed for too long. After all, he has to coordinate and deal with the situation where Tu Tu people are trapped and still fighting. Therefore, he doesn't have much time in Beijing, and many things must be dealt with quickly.
If anything, Gao Pragmatic had a lot to do, but the fact that Liang Bangrui cheated on his marriage really made him too disgusted and annoyed, so he personally arranged to suppress the Liang Family Silk Store in the past two days, and Chen Ju was responsible for cooperating with his work.
In addition to its strong assets, Jinghua's main advantage is its mastery of "logistics." However, Jinghua itself does not focus on operating the silk business, and it needs Chen Ju's cooperation in Jingzhong.
Of course, Chen Ju is not a business tycoon. The reason why he can cooperate is entirely because he controls the Royal Horse Supervisor. The Yumajian not only controls the military power of part of the Beijing camp and maintains secrets with the Ministry of War, but also controls many of the royal family's properties in and around the capital, such as Huangzhuang and Huangdian.
Huangzhuang has said before that Huangdian can be directly defined as the name suggests - a store owned by the royal family. The origins of these shops are very complicated. Some of them were owned as early as the Chengzu period, some were acquired by the Royal Horse Superintendent during the management of the imperial shop, and some were confiscated by offending officials and merchants.
Regardless of these things, in short, up to now, Huangdian can be regarded as a considerable force in the local business of the capital.
With abundant capital, control of logistics, and the cooperation of the Royal Horse Supervisor, this battle is destined to be a battle of great disparity in power, and the Liang family will not have any chance of coming back.
But Gao Pragmatic has always been a lion who fights rabbits with all his strength, so he even dragged a group of distinguished people along with him.
This Qian Xungui has been on the Gao pragmatic pirate ship for many years, and since the establishment of the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance, he has become a small shareholder on this ship. Now that the leader of the alliance, the big boss, has spoken, what else can he say? Fuck him!
At this time, Gao Pragmatic and the Liang family really couldn't change their places. First, the Liang family's shop was cut off from supply, second, it was suppressed by prices, and third,...well, honorable ladies and gentlemen, there are still some small businesses that are not on the market. means.
Gao Pragmatic's promise was that after defeating the Liang family, all the Liang family's property would be taken away by the nobles, and Jinghua and Yumajian would not get a penny.
Jinghua doesn’t charge a penny. He is very pragmatic and currently lacks a large number of sericulture bases. If he can’t do a one-stop industry, he simply doesn’t do it. After all, Jinghua’s stalls are already spread widely, and as long as he continues to master the logistics aspect, The profit from making money from the upstream and downstream is already very high. If you then grab food everywhere, it will easily attract too much hatred.
As for the Royal Horse Superintendent, he cannot take it, because after all, the Liang family is already the home of the Prince Consort. The Royal Horse Supervisor must be careful when cooperating with Gao Pragmatic. Even if he is deceiving himself and others, it is not easy to reveal too obvious flaws, let alone divide the spoils afterwards.
Therefore, the nobles are still very motivated for this mission. Although with the size of the Liang family's industry, one point they take is equivalent to drinking a mouthful of soup, but if they can get a little, it is better to drink soup. Not even soup.
Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong, the two leading brothers among the nobles, even praised Bo Yuntian for his pragmatism and righteousness. He never forgot to help them make a fortune together. He was really a brother to everyone.
Just listen to this kind of words, and Gao Pragmatic will not take it seriously, but speaking of it, Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong still have a relatively deep friendship with him. Before facing a major event that may affect their family and life, Gao Pragmatic feels that they are not interested in him. The support should be fairly reliable.
Under the multi-dimensional and multi-level attack personally arranged by Gao Pragmatic, this attack on the Liang family's industry can be described as like a soup pouring snow.
On the first day, everyone in the Liang family was stunned, but they had not yet gotten over the panic of "the princess returning to the palace", and there was no counterattack for the moment - forget it, there was no counterattack, I should say there was no counterattack for the moment. What countermeasures.
On the next day, the southern merchants were forced by Tianjin Port to sell goods directly to the Liang family. The remaining goods were bought by Jinghua at the original price. Most of them were resold directly to Huangdian, and a small part was resold to those who were not afraid of hoarding goods and had silk business. The noble people are so pragmatic that they don't even bother to make any difference in price, so they just change hands at the original price.
After all, he is the leader of the alliance, so he has to act like a leader. Anyway, he doesn't have much money, so he doesn't do this for money.
The Liang family responded on this day, visiting officials who had dealt with it in the past. But obviously, this was meaningless - Gao Pragmatic's actions basically represented the reaction of the Practical School. As long as Zhang Siwei did not express his opposition, all pragmatic It is impossible for officials of the school to stand up against Gao Pragmatism.
And if the Royal Horse Supervisor had seemingly unwarranted interference, such as taking over the goods that originally belonged to the Liang family, and making the officials of the Xinxue School suspect that there was the emperor's shadow in it, and he would take action to harm the emperor in order to save a Liang family, this business would not be a good deal. After all, the main interest of their Xin School is not in the capital.
As for the other neutral factions, one felt that the real school and the emperor could not be offended, and they had to worry about the petty tricks of the nobles.
The nobles have no obvious way to deal with them, but they still have some disgusting ways. For example, a censor once impeached a certain nobleman. The matter was actually quite minor, but the nobleman was reprimanded by the emperor and fined for half a year. These were all trivial matters, but the nobleman was very angry. , so he sent people to deliver excrement to the censor's residence every day. The reason was that it was used for fertilizing the fields and he was just passing by...
As a result, the air in the alley where the censor lived had not been fresh for half a year. It was full of stench all day long, even at night.
The censor's family complained, and the censor himself also scolded him, but this time it was useless - the emperor felt that people sending manure to the fields were "deeply planted in agriculture". You have read books for half your life, and even the people depend on food. Can't you understand? I have to endure it.
It can be seen that although the nobles were severely suppressed by the civil service group, the emperor would still protect the nobles as long as they had the opportunity. After all, the nobles "lived with the country", which was one of the important foundations of imperial power.
As a result, the Liang family visited dozens of mansions a day, and almost no one wanted to see them. Occasionally, a few people who had collected more money in the past couldn't help but meet the Liang family, and they just sighed and let them go. They thought about what the problem was. Someone had to tie the bell to untie it. He could only point out this matter, but there was really nothing he could do to help.
When the Liang family went back to discuss it, they were all confused.
No, no matter what our family says, we will never offend Jinghua, right? Not to mention the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance - who the hell does our family dare to offend?
Someone finally realized that the root cause of this matter was the princess's wedding. He had heard Chen Hong, the palm print of Chen who had been imprisoned, mention that Princess Yongning seemed to have some romantic feelings for Gao Jingshi before.
The Liang family looked at each other, and finally decided that regardless of the embarrassment in terms of face, this matter must be dealt with by Her Highness the Eldest Princess. As long as Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can't stand in the way and is willing to come forward or send someone to tell Gao Longwen, it can probably be done. Escape this disaster.
The only one who had a reason to see the princess was Liang Bangrui, but Liang Bangrui was already seriously ill, and now he was frightened and even more so ill that he seemed to die at any time.
But there is no way, if he doesn't go, the Liang family will die soon.
Liang Bangrui then dragged his sick body to the princess's mansion to meet the princess's female officer and asked to see the princess.
The princess official this time was not the one in the original history. This female official had been ordered by Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, and had also received a reward from Gao Pragmatic. How could she not know what the "bosses" thought of Liang Bangrui?
When she saw Liang Bangrui, she sneered and said, "Husband-in-law, Her Royal Highness the Princess has said that she will not see you until you are in good health, so as not to ruin a woman's moral character. I think you should go back first, don't die of coughing in the Princess Mansion." , to avoid bad luck."
It stands to reason that Liang Bangrui should be living in the Princess Mansion at this moment, but this time the incident was so shameless that he went back to live there. However, the female official spoke harshly, which made him furious. He suppressed a cough and cursed: "Liang is... Consort, even if you die, you should die in the princess's mansion, how dare you bully me?"
"Bullying you?" The female official laughed loudly: "The Prince Consort is so powerful, but I'm afraid I don't know the responsibilities of this female official. Not to mention that you are the new Prince Consort and have no official position. Even if you take charge of the clan mansion in the future, (The highest official a prince-in-law can be), the female official of the Princess Palace has the final say here... Come on, get out of here!"
A group of eunuchs who looked like wolves and tigers came out and fucked all kinds of guys. Liang Bangrui was so shocked that he was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms and crawled out of the princess's house.
He was already suffering from tuberculosis and would cough whenever he had nothing to do. How could he bear such an amount of activity? After gasping for air for a few times, his throat felt very itchy, and he suddenly sat down on the roadside and started coughing. When the eunuchs caught up with him, they saw that the man was coughing so much that blood was pouring from his mouth and nose, and his chest was already bright red.
The eunuchs did not expect this scene, and were stunned for a moment. They saw Liang Bangrui pointing at them, spitting out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and then fell down in a daze.
There is no problem in beating the prince-in-law, but beating the prince-in-law to death may still cause trouble. A group of eunuchs knew this well and immediately threw the guy in their hands back to the princess's house. They carried Liang Bangrui to the Liang family in a mess, insisting that Liang Bangrui It was because he wanted to see the princess, but the female officer believed that it was not appropriate to meet at this time according to the regulations, so she refused. Liang Bangrui "vomited blood on his own" because of the female officer's refusal...
All in all, all in all, these eunuchs didn't do anything and even helped you send people back. As for the female official, she was right, the rules were the rules, not to mention what Liang Bangrui had said before she was a princess in front of so many distinguished officials, who would dare to violate it?
Naturally, the Liang family didn't believe it, but they couldn't help it. They were in so much trouble now, how could they care about a group of eunuchs? He immediately sent someone to ask for a doctor. As a result, he went to several houses in succession, but the doctors all refused to come, saying that they had something to do.
At this time, the Liang family was completely in despair. Even the doctor did not dare to have anything to do with his family. Would anyone dare to save them?
In just over an hour, Liang Bangrui died. Mother Liang was so disheartened that she went back to her room to hang the southeast branch. Father Liang was left crying: "I'm so obsessed. I'm so happy, so happy!"
After a while, Liang's father stopped crying, sent all the Liang family's relatives away, and went to the place where Liang's mother hanged herself to hang herself.
The Liang family, a wealthy family in the capital, was destroyed in just two days by the angry Gao Pragmatic.
