Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the world.

Although the Imperial Capital is the most prosperous city in the world, its meaning is different. It is because the emperor is here that it grows and grows.

In fact, even if the emperor arrives in Kailidu, Guizhou, it will become the number one city in the world.

But Jiangnan is different.

There are bustling towns everywhere here, and there are towns and villages that stretch for dozens of miles outside each city. People are generally rich and not just to live for the sake of living.

Therefore, various entertainment activities, cultural cultivation, etc. in Jiangnan are very developed.

This is why the Japanese pirates came here to burn, kill and loot, and they could rob tens of millions of taels of silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings.

Of course, the prosperity of Jiangnan also needs to be divided into levels.

The most prosperous ones are definitely Hangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Huai'an, Ningbo, Taizhou and other cities.

Songjiang Prefecture is not the magic capital now. Although Dakang's maritime trade has gradually shifted to Songjiang Prefecture, Hangzhou has not been filled with soil and dams at this time, and it is still a serious port city, so its role is still the best in Jiangnan.

As the first to come into contact with sea trade, Taizhou ranks among the top ten in Jiangnan.

Many merchants here either do their own maritime trade business or serve maritime trade business.

The real big landlords are not very good at ranking in Taizhou.

As the saying goes, talents emerge in the world, and each has been leading the way for decades.

The rich people in Taizhou are also replacing each other with generations.

In recent decades, the two largest wealthy families in Taizhou are the Wang Family on Tianning Street and the Chen Family on Ziyang Street.

Since the former dynasty, Ziyang Street has been a street where the great tribes in Taizhou live together. People living here are either rich or noble. However, if the Chen family can take the lead here, it can reflect how powerful they are one of the top ten maritime merchants.

The Wang family originally lived on Ziyang Street, but after they became more developed, they were always suppressed by the Chen family, so they simply moved to Tianning Street and dominated the country themselves, and were happy to be free and easy.

At its peak, the Chen family was filled with furniture made of century-old red sandalwood. Various utensils were made of gold and silver. The house area was as many as ten acres, and there were thousands of acres in the villa outside the city. The lofts and pavilions were beautiful, and they were a place that all Taizhou people yearned for a look.

But as the saying goes, Hua Wu Ri Hong, the Chen family went to sea six years ago and encountered a major disaster. They were ambushed by several pirates. They lost seven ships and the goods in the ship, and almost all of them died completely, including the two sons of the head of the family Chen Yuhua, their future son-in-law, and several nephews... etc.

The male members of the Chen family within three generations were almost completely dead, leaving Chen Yuhua who survived death and several tribe members who were in charge of affairs at home.

After returning home, Chen Yuhua began to face more than 2,000 servants, compensation issues for the guys, and the issue of compensation for the merchants who had already paid the advance payment due to the loss of goods... He took two years to complete the compensation, but the result was that he had lost all his money and nothing was left.

It was raining all night long. During this period, Chen Yuhua's wife died of illness due to excessive grief. The people of the Chen family also took money and real estate and left the main house, and even cheated a lot of debts on Chen Yuhua.

So Chen Yuhua almost didn't even have a place to stand.

Fortunately, the old wife and daughter still preserved some property, which allowed the Chen family to have a three-entry old house on Wenqing Street, two shops, and a thousand acres of farmland outside the city to survive.

Although this can be considered a small family of wealthy people, it has long been no longer in Taizhou, where there are many wealthy businessmen.

Since then, the Wang family in Tianning Street has dominated the maritime business. Not only has it become the largest maritime businessman in Taizhou, but it has also bought the old house of the Chen family in Ziyang Street and moved into Ziyang Street again.

Few people sympathize with losers.

In September, it was said that the Chen family sold all their property, including even the farmland, and the only slaves in the family were sent home. Their father and daughter quietly left Taizhou City, but there was no trouble.

It’s just adding some material to people’s daily chats and storytellers’ gossip!

But no one expected that just today, the Chen family was back!

They came back in the morning.

The first thing people care about is not the down-and-out Chen family, but the two gorgeous carriages that seem to come down from the Immortal Palace in the Heaven.

This carriage not only has an extremely gorgeous and beautiful appearance, but also has a different look and style from any carriage from Dakang.

The horses used by others are four solid-colored horses, and the wheels are not made of iron. They don’t seem bumpy when walking on the road. Even some puddles are spent smoothly.

Only this kind of immortal palace carriage cannot show its temperament.

If there is a luxurious guard team, it will appear even more majestic.

In fact, there is really.

There were dozens of fully armed iron-armed knights guarding the two fairy palace carriages. With their divine horses, cold and murderous faces, and uniform steps, they knew that these people were not simple at all.

There are more people doing maritime businessmen in Taizhou City, and there are also many maritime businessmen. When you see these people patrolling around, you will know that you must have experienced killing, and it is the kind of killing without blinking.

Think about it!

What does it mean if such dozens of elite cavalry rush into the air?

Half of Taizhou City had to be killed directly.

Don't doubt it!

Seventy Japanese pirates could kill the entire Jiangsu, scaring more than 100,000 Jinling defenders dared not leave the city. You can think of how poor and weak the ancient civilians were.

Besides, there are more than these people.

Not only were there hundreds of carriages of all sizes behind, but there were also thousands of young people wearing uniform costumes, who were also riding horses on the ground of Taizhou Prefecture and slowly entering the city.

This is a bit scary.

No rich man in Jiangnan can have such a stance!

Even the big dogs in Yangzhou and the aristocratic families in Hangzhou and Suzhou do not have this scale of travel!

When the government saw this kind of situation, how could it be irrelevant?

Taizhou is an important town in Zhejiang and one of the most famous harbors. There are as many as 30,000 troops garrisoned here.

Even when the Japanese pirates invaded in the summer, the Taizhou army did not move, just to protect the safety of Taizhou.

But they entered Taizhou City with confidence without encountering any obstacles from soldiers. This made them seem not only a wealthy family, but also a little bit of energy!

The group of people passed through the entire Taizhou City, but left the city and lived in the inn outside the south of the city.

A group of young people set up camp outside the inn. Just looking at the posture and rules of setting up camp, there was definitely guidance from the military masters, and there was no trace of chaos at all.

It is really amazing to be able to live in the inn, but it is still such a big situation.

So someone asked who was here, what was the relationship, and why did they come to Taizhou?

The person who asked about the inquiry here had not come back yet, and the acquaintance who asked the city gate guards there ran back.

"I'm so angry that I'm going to kill the armor! I'm saying that I'm a noble man from the capital! I'm the daughter-in-law of the Prince's Mansion!"

"ah!?"

While everyone was talking and having gossip, the people who went to the post station came back with a little horror!

"What a sissy! Who are you guessing it is?"

"Who!?"

"It's the Chen family!"

"Which Chen family?"

"The Chen family, the most powerful one in the sea business! Chen Xiaowei, our first beauty in Taizhou, has become the concubine of Prince Yu!!"

"Crown Prince Yu? Who is it?"

"Oh, did you save the Prince De from our Jiangnan??"

"Yes! It's him!"

"Oh, Aunt Yan! Are you kidding?"

"Who is talking nonsense? The Chen family is really amazing. They have relied on such a big figure!?"

"Hey, I don't know what it is. Just a concubine, what is it?"

"You Awu Ran! What's wrong with your concubine? Look at the people who brought them back! More than two thousand people from Prince Yu's Mansion! Cao! Is this a sign of unpopularity??"

“…”

For a moment, the news spread rapidly, and within half a day, it had spread throughout Taizhou City.

Mr. Wang of the Wang family was originally in the warm attic, listening leisurely to the opera troupe on the opposite table. After hearing the news, he broke the tea cup in his hand on the spot.

In the evening, several of the Wang family's chiefs rushed back and gathered in the meeting room of the house.

This is also thanks to winter, otherwise most of them would have to go overseas to do business or organize supply in the mainland, which would have been completely incomplete.

The first one to the left of Mr. Wang is his eldest son Wang Shengqing, who is forty years old and is now in charge of the Wang family's maritime trade.

Next to Wang Shengqing is the third brother Wang Shengkui, who is 37 years old this year and is Wang Shengqing's main assistant.

On the right side of Mr. Wang is an old man who is about fifty years old. He is Mr. Wang's second brother, known as Mr. Wang, who is mainly responsible for purchasing goods from merchant ships.

Below Mr. Wang Er is a young man in his twenties. His name is Wang Yusheng. He is Wang Erye’s youngest son and the successor Wang Erye focuses on training.

Another one below Wang Yusheng is a middle-aged man in his forties. His name is Wang Lei. He is the best disciple of the Wang family. He is now in charge of various stores and business transactions of the Wang family in Taizhou Prefecture.

As for Mr. Wang himself, he is responsible for overall planning and controlling the rhythm, and adjusting the power disputes at home, etc.

There are six of them in total, which are the core figures of the Wang family.

It is all their contribution to the Wang family's growth and growth in the past twenty years.

but!

At the meeting today, Mr. Wang’s first words were a bit sensational.
Chapter completed!
