Gangnam City.The four major merchant clans in the south of the Yangtze River have been entrenched in the southern important town for 300 years, and most of the clansmen are farmers, merchants, and peddlers, making a living from southern tea, northern goods, porcelain, Nanyang spices, and ocean wharves.Jiangnan City was the most important trading town for emperors and court ministers, and the annual tax was enough to feed a quarter of the world's soldiers and horses.King Shen Zhengtian, the power and financial power of these four major merchant clans in Jiangnan City are deep-rooted, but the fame of the world's largest merchant and the old owner of the Gu Mansion is shocking to the world, which is enough to match the four major merchant clans.The relationship between the four major Shang clans in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated, and the heads of the families of all generations have abandoned personal grievances and advanced and retreated together, sharing honor and disgrace.Therefore, the prosperity of Jiangnan has endured for 300 years.However, the unity of the four major merchant clans in the south of the Yangtze River has become a thorn in the eyes of the emperor Lao'er.The first emperor died, and the only ninth son of the emperor who returned alive from the battlefield ascended the throne as emperor.When he first ascended the throne, the war in the north subsided for many years, and it was when he was anxious to recuperate, the four major merchant clans in the south of the Yangtze River wantonly encroached on the business of the north for profit, and some big merchants in the south took advantage of the situation to suppress the merchants in the north.In the mouths of the people in the north, the evil name of "Southern Merchant Bandit" was left, which also attracted the attention of the imperial court and ministers.The emperor was young and vigorous, and he was coveted by his ministers, and a holy decree was made: to destroy the merchant clan in Jiangnan and protect the country and the people.At that time, the four heads of the four major merchant clans in Jiangnan realized that they had made a wrong decision, and Long Yan was furious, fearing that the disaster of exterminating the clan would be difficult to escape again.The four heads of the family regretted it too late, and they pleaded with no way to ask for help, and watched the three-hundred-year-old family be destroyed by their greed.They were willing to give half of their ancestral property for the peace of all their people.It's a pity that the emperor, as the Son of Heaven, is the parent of the people of the world.The people of the north have just suffered from war and have been oppressed by their compatriots, how innocent are the people of the north?
The courtiers asked the emperor to issue an edict to punish the nine clans to set an example, so that the mercenary and lowly businessmen could see the fate of violating the "national law".This advice was deeply favored by the emperor, and when he wanted to make an order, Zhuge Yi, the ten-year-old Prince of Yi, dissuaded the emperor from thinking twice.Although the rank of businessmen and merchants is at the bottom, their contribution to the country's economy is not small, and even their careful planning and foresight are beneficial to the country and the people.Above the court, the ministers and the ten-year-old Prince Yi were arguing and arguing.A vigorous debate lasted for two days and two nights, and finally reached a conclusion in the early morning of the third day.Prince Yi asked to take away the title of prince, degraded himself to a businessman, and calmed down the turmoil with his own strength.The angry emperor misunderstood that the young Prince Yi took the opportunity to win the hearts of the people.Several times the request of Prince Yi was rejected, and later the northern merchants began to act, so that the emperor was forced to make an order.Prince Yi was demoted to a commoner and disappeared from then on.The mysterious owner of the valley house, who is in charge of the world's business connections, is deeply favored by the emperor, and the emperor ordered the owner of the valley house to help the world's largest merchant quell the business turmoil.The world's largest businessman?
While everyone was waiting to see the true face, the young man who was born out of nowhere tried his best to calm the anger of the northern merchants, put pressure on the southern merchants, and also preserved the four major merchant families in the south of the Yangtze River.Six years have passed, when the north is recuperating and returning to the peak of prosperity, the south Qionghua is still the same, and the smoke and rain lock the autumn.After many years, the historian compiled it into the book, which is known as the "Rebellion of the Inferior Merchants".…… The long carriage procession went all the way to the south, and Li Haitang listened to the merchants and peddlers talk about the unbearable past, as if he was in it, watching the young Zhuge Yi be high-spirited and overwhelming; watched the young Zhuge Yi strategize and protect the four major business families; Looking at the young Zhuge Yi, he was calm and calm, standing at the top of the world's power."
Little master, I'll be in Jiangnan City in front."
The guard who was driving the car reminded softly, and when he heard a "fast" from the carriage behind him, he quietly stopped and looked at the snow-haired boy who was riding the horse tremblingly."
Lord ......" the guard let out a cowardly sound, and was immediately frightened by the horsewhip pointed at the tip of his nose.Behind him came another shallow inquiry."
Why don't you leave?""
Little master, that ......" the guard twisted cautiously and fell out of the car, begging in a very low voice: "Master spare your life!"
”"Rubbish!"
The snow-haired boy sneered disdainfully, stepped into the carriage, and slipped into the carriage smoothly.In the carriage, Li Haitang was packing up a few newly made men's jackets, embroidered with her favorite begonia flowers and his favorite southern bamboo.Suddenly, a cold wind hit her, she looked up in surprise, and instantly her apricot eyes were full of tears and her cherry lips were smiling."
Master."
Delicate as a warbler's cry, the delicate and fair little face was what he thought about for a long time, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, he pretended to complain in disgust: "I'm thin, and it's not soft when I pinch it." ”"Master is fat."
Li Haitang pouted and pretended to be disdainful, picked up a middle coat made by himself and compared it to his body, and said, "Hey!
Sure enough, I was fat, and I couldn't wear the clothes I made. ”"Who says you can't wear it?
I'll wear it to you right now. ”Zhuge Yi gritted his teeth in anger, this girl was so bold that she dared to mock him when she met.Fortunately, the middle clothes she made fit his mind very well, otherwise the punishment would be awaited.Li Haitang smiled, snatched back his middle coat and stuffed it back into the baggage, jumped up and hugged his waist, buried his little face in his chest, and said coquettishly: "I miss Master, does Master miss me?"
”Zhuge Yi deliberately didn't answer, and wrapped his long arms around her.I miss her, I miss her very much, as long as I stop, I can't help but wonder if his little girl will eat well, whether she will protect herself, and whether she will think about him."
Master, is your poisonous pain okay?""
Not good."
Zhuge Yi picked one of her beaded flowers, disgusted and said, "This beaded flower is really ugly." ”Li Haitang's little face was buried in his chest and he smiled, wanting to tell him that this beaded flower was given by Abel, but ......
Forget it, he doesn't like it, she just doesn't wear it."
Say!
Who sent this?
”She wanted to skip it, but he didn't.Zhuge Yi pushed her out of his arms, and his slender fingers pinched the beads and dangled them in front of her eyes, with a vicious expression of "if you dare not say it, you will be spanked".Li Haitang pursed her lips, blinked her black apricot eyes, and asked with a mischievous smile: "Master opened a vinegar factory in Jiangnan, and it seems that business is very good." ”Zhuge Yilong's eyes were cold, and when he saw that she refused to confess, there must be a hidden secret.It seems that the person who sent the bead flower is unknown to him, and he has a close relationship with her."
Silly girl, most of your years are this year, remember?""
The little girl is thirteen years old this year, and she will be married in two years."
Li Haitang bowed dignifiedly, deliberately putting on an excited expression of expecting to marry."
Silly!"
Zhuge Yi bent his fingers and knocked on her forehead and grabbed the bead flower, "Who sent this?"
Wordless child?
”Li Haitang suddenly realized, no wonder he was sour, it turned out that the wordless son's confession to her in front of the Tang Mansion reached his ears.Hehe!
Who is the informant, she must find out.The carriage stopped, stopped in the center of the widest and most prosperous street in Jiangnan City, and the guard announced outside the car: "Master, little master, the building has arrived." ”Li Haitang was surprised and looked at him with a puzzled expression.Zhuge Yi grabbed her arm, and Zhuhua held it up in front of her."
If you don't make it clear, don't want to get out of the car!""
Master, can you be reasonable?""
Nope."
Li Haitang wanted to cry without tears, she really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.Will he believe it now when he confesses?
The answer, of course, is: no.() Glory to the end
