Chapter 525 Changes
This mansion, located in the wealthy area of Pingxi City, covers an area of seven or eight acres, has a lot of gardens, and is full of flowers, plants and plants. It is lush and quiet. On weekdays, there are only servants, guards and housekeepers in this mansion. Even the neighbors who also live nearby do not know that this mansion is the property of the Zhong family in Pingxi City, which is famous in the northwest. Coincidentally, this mansion is only half a street away from the mansion that Yan Liqiang discovered last time.
The housekeeper directly welcomed Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan into the living room. After washing his face, cleaning his hands and arranging the fragrant tea, he stood by the side, while Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan sat down on the left and right sides of the main seat of the living room.
"Just just now, we saw a Yan Shanyi Hall in the city. Many beggars and poor people were patting the team to receive porridge at the door of the Shanyi Hall. Is this Shanyi Hall from the Yan family?" After taking a sip of tea and moistening the mouth, Zhong Hongzhang asked.
"When I go back to the second master, the Yan family Shanyi Hall was opened by the Yan'anbao Yanbao in Pingxi City. It has been more than a month. After the Yan family Shanyi Hall was opened, it has donated porridge and clothes every day to help the poor and the poor, build bridges and roads, and has done a lot of good things for the people in the city. In addition to Pingxi City, there is also a Yan family Shanyi Hall in every county town below Pingxi County. The things done by each Shanyi Hall are almost the same. In just over a month, the Yan family's Shanyi Hall has won the praise of countless people inside and outside Pingxi County. The Yan family's reputation in Pingxi County is getting bigger and bigger..."
Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan looked at each other, and then Zhong Hongzhang spoke, "Well, okay, I understand, go and ask someone to inform Manager He and ask Manager He to come here to see me!"
The housekeeper received the order and left and arranged someone to notify Manager He. That Manager He was the shopkeeper of Zhong Family Datong Money House in Pingxi City.
"What do you think Ruolan?"
"If you want to gain fame, the Yan family only needs to set up a Yan family Shanyi Hall in Pingxi City, but the Yan family has opened a Yan family Shanyi Hall in every county in Pingxi County. This is not as simple as trying to gain fame. In this way, either Yan Liqiang really makes too much money and feels hot. He wants to spend some money and do good deeds sincerely, or Yan Liqiang feels that his current reputation and prestige are not enough. He also wants a higher reputation, greater prestige and greater influence in Pingxi County!"
"I think so too, but Yan Liqiang is young and has a high reputation now, and is at its peak. Especially after he killed Cai Yingwu with one arrow, everyone knew that he was the number one archway powerhouse in the northwest. He could even suppress the Transportation Office and Feitian Gate. Is this reputation not enough? No matter what, Riestong cannot appoint him as the county magistrate of Pingxi County!"
"Uncle Second, have you forgotten that Yan Liqiang has another identity, is the supervisor of Qi Yun appointed by the emperor?" Zhong Ruolan said with a flashing look.
"Supervisor Qi Yun?" Zhong Hongzhang suddenly burst into laughter and shook his head, "No matter how hard he tossed, the people of Pingxi County would not help him run outside Baishi Pass to beat Shatu people. Although I heard that the Gulang grassland is a little messy now, the strength of the Seventh Shatu tribes is not something Pingxi County can handle. If you want to beat the Seventh Shatu tribes, Riestong will not have the ability to crush the entire Ganzhou. He wants to rely on the people of Ganzhou to help him regain the Gulang grassland and put his position as the Supervisor of Qi Yun. It is completely impossible. Neither Riestong nor the court can agree!"
"Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. If we can predict what he does in advance, he may be just an ordinary person now. Why should we travel here to find him? In addition to Yan Liqiang, the second uncle has seen anyone who is beyond the reach of martial arts, the skills of mechanisms, and even money-making..."
"Ruolan's words make sense!" Zhong Hongzhang's face slowly became serious and nodded slowly, "Maybe I thought it was a little simpler, but Yan Liqiang's behavior was indeed unexpected and unfathomable. Manager He has been rooted in Pingxi City for many years. There is basically no way to hide the major events and trends of all parties in Pingxi County. When Manager He comes later, we can chat with Manager He first so that we can know what we know. Only when we see Yan Liqiang, we can handle it!"
...
Manager He has a round figure, round face and thin eyes, and two black beards on his mouth. From a distance, he looks kind, but when he looks closer, he feels smart. In the business district in Pingxi City, Manager He is definitely a famous figure with an extraordinary status. As long as he is doing business, all parties will give him some face.
When he heard that the second master came to Pingxi City to see him, Manager He, who was drinking tea with the guests at Datong Money House, immediately rushed back here as quickly as possible.
Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan just sat in the living room and drank two cups of tea. After chatting for a while, Manager He had arrived.
After meeting with Zhong Hongzhang and Zhong Ruolan, Manager He respectfully sat on a chair in the living room with his waist upright. After talking to Manager He about the business status of Datong Money House, Zhong Hongzhang went straight to the point and asked Manager He about Yan Liqiang and the Yan family.
"Even if the second master doesn't ask, there is one thing I'm about to send a message to my home with a Feixin, and let the officials in the home analyze it with the shopkeepers. What's the name?"
"Oh, what's the matter? It's worth your letter from Feixin to return to the Zhong family?" Zhong Hongzhang asked curiously.
"It's like this. I found that the Yan family and the Lu family in Huanglong County have been purchasing wool everywhere in the past two months. This is abnormal and even incredible, which makes me completely unable to understand, so I want the head and shopkeepers in the family to pay attention!"
"The Yan family and the Lu family are buying wool, and there are still a lot of it?" Zhong Hongzhang was also a little confused, thinking that he had heard some joke.
"It's like this. The wool purchased by the Yan family and the Lu family, they bought as much as they wanted. Although the price was not high, there were only about ten copper plates per catty of wool, but it was not low. The originally useless wool could be sold from the sheep's mattresses. This made the sheep raisers very happy. They all sold the wool mattresses of the sheep they raised to the Yan family and the Lu family. Even the large sheep raised in other counties brought the wool mattresses to Pingxi County for sale. After deducting the travel expenses, it was still profitable. Just last month,
