Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

However, the Zheng family urgently needs cotton now, and Zhang Da is the most suitable candidate.

Zheng Chengdong couldn't sit still, and planned to chat with Zhang Da face to face.

Zheng Chengdong took a sip of tea and asked, "Master Zhang, you said earlier that only you can buy cotton from the Tubo and Ghana tribes as soon as possible, and no one else can. I don't know why you said that?"

Zhang Da put down the teacup in his hand, bowed his hands to Zheng Chengdong with the etiquette of the Central Plains, hehe smiled, and said: "Patriarch Zheng can see me today, and I think he has already planned to cooperate with me. If that is the case, then I will not hide it. , I am a Tibetan, and I was born in the Ghana tribe. Now the head of the Ghana tribe is my uncle. At the beginning, because I offended the powerful in Luoxie City, I had no choice but to live in Chang'an. For many years..."

After living in Chang'an for more than ten years, Zhang Dalian's appearance has changed a lot.

If you don't check carefully, his behavior, clothing, and accent are undoubtedly from Chang'an.

These are also in line with the news that Zheng Chengdong asked people to inquire about.

Zheng Chengdong asked again: "Since you fled to Chang'an, now, how dare you go back to some cities to buy cotton for my Zheng family?"

Next to him, Zheng Feiyuan also showed suspicion.

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Da laughed three times when he heard this, and said: "Master Zheng is doubting my ability. In fact, my enemies have already been eliminated by the newly appointed Zanpu, and my Ghana tribe has also lost its tribal status because of following the current Zanpu." Chaoran is one of the best in Tubo, my uncle has already sent a letter to let me go back, after going back, not only will there be no danger, but he will also let me become an official..."

"I see……"

Zheng's father and son nodded.

In the past in Tubo, various tribes fought repeatedly, either for cattle and sheep, or for war horses, or for pastures, or for nothing, just wanting to fight. Therefore, on the land of Tubo, there is a confusion.

Until a few years ago, with the help of the Mendo tribe, the Ghana tribe, etc., the young Songtsan Gampo unified Tibet.

And people like the Ghana tribe naturally received the highest courtesy, and Ghana became the right prime minister of Tubo.

After dispelling the doubts in his heart, Zheng Chengdong began to think about cooperation with Zhang Da.

Zheng Chengdong said: "Master Zhang, if that's the case, then the purchase of cotton will be troublesome... As long as you bring the cotton to Chang'an, you will be the guest of my Zheng family from now on. I, Zheng family will never forget your kindness, and In the future, Zheng's business in Tubo can be handled by you alone..."

Zhang Da's eyes lit up immediately.

You know, Zheng's is not only in the cloth business, but also involved in many other businesses.

If he can monopolize Zheng's business in the whole of Tubo, then he will definitely become the best person in the future.

Thinking about it, he was about to drool.

All of this was naturally seen by Zheng Chengdong and Zheng Feiyuan.

The two looked at each other, expressing that they both saw the greed in Zhang Da's eyes.

Greedy people are not to be feared.

As a businessman, the Zheng family needs greedy people most.On the contrary, the kind of people who have no desires and no desires are the most terrifying.

After a series of trials, Zheng Chengdong and his son have confirmed that Zhang Da is fine.

Therefore, Zheng Chengdong said: "I don't know, what kind of help does shopkeeper Zhang need when he goes to Tubo to buy cotton? I, Mrs. Zheng, will definitely cooperate fully. The only requirement is that the sooner the cotton arrives, the better..."

Seeing this, Zhang Da said with some embarrassment: "Patriarch Zheng, Ming people don't speak dark words, so I won't hide them. I will go to Tubo to buy cotton. It allows me to bring a sum of money to the past. I have told the young master before that the purchase of cotton this time is probably about 15 guan. I hope Zheng can pay me [-]% in advance, and I will take the [-]% of the money to Tubo. Afterwards, when I meet my uncle, the cotton can be transported away immediately, and I can also order next year's cotton. With money, I, the Ghana tribe, can continue to purchase cotton for the Zheng family. When next year's cotton appears, the Zheng family will There is cotton for..."

Eighty percent of 15 guan, that is 12 guan.

Mrs. Zheng is very rich, and she can spend hundreds of thousands of coins at will.

But that was before.

Zheng Chengdong stroked his beard and said: "The shopkeeper Zhang is right. Originally, my Zheng family was in urgent need of cotton, and the old man planned to pay you all the money in advance. shop, I, Mr. Zheng, took out a lot of money and lent money to merchants without interest. Now, Mr. Zheng has no idle money... How about I give you [-] guan first, and you take [-] guan to go to Tubo , the rest of the money, the old man immediately ordered his subordinates to raise it, and then sent it, what do you think?"

In order to get the cotton as soon as possible, Zheng Chengdong also went all out.

Zhang Da's face showed embarrassment, looking very embarrassed.

He moved his lips, just about to refuse.

Next to him, Zheng Feiyuan hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, there is no other way. I, Mr. Zheng, have paid a lot for the cotton cloth business. In a short period of time, I really can't afford 12 guan, only [-] guan... My father is right, as long as you take the [-] guan to buy cotton first, we will find a way to collect the remaining [-] guan and send it as soon as possible. Anyway, the cotton is in the hands of your Ghana tribe. At that time, you only sold us cotton worth [-] guan, so you didn’t lose money anyway, so why do you have to worry about it..."

Zhang Da thought for a while, then nodded: "Since Patriarch Zheng and Patriarch Young both said so, then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. However, from now on, Zheng Shi and I are friends. Since we are friends, of course I To help Zheng's difficulties... Patriarch Zheng and Patriarch Young can rest assured, after I return to Luoxi City, I will definitely explain the matter to my uncle and transport the cotton away first. As for the remaining money, I can give it half a year..."

Zheng Chengdong and Zheng Feiyuan were overjoyed when they heard the words: "If so, then I am really grateful to Shopkeeper Zhang..."

……

Chapter 350 Fortunately, I Didn't Make Enemy With This Guy Back then

Time waits for no one, Zheng is very anxious.

The next day.

The Zheng family collected [-] Guan Kaiyuan Tongbao and formed a huge convoy, led by Zhang Da, starting from Chang'an City and heading straight for Tubo.

Of course, Zheng Feiyuan and his son are not fools, and it is impossible to hand over the money directly to Zhang Da.

In addition to the chariots and horses transporting the money, there is also a 50-member guard from the Zheng family.

Before leaving, Zheng Feiyuan deliberately found Zheng Asan, the leader of the guards, and confessed: "Although Zhang Da is reliable, he is not from my Zheng family after all, so it is inevitable that he will not be motivated by money... Therefore, the purpose of your trip is to We must protect the [-] guan, and after arriving in Luoxi City, we can only take out the money when we see cotton, understand?"

Zheng Asan nodded solemnly: "Young Patriarch, please rest assured, the money is there if the person is there, and the money is also there when the person is not. We will definitely transport the money to Tubo safely, and then bring the cotton back safely..."

Zheng Feiyuan laughed and said, "Why are you talking so much, you are going to take the imperial examination!"

Zheng Asan: "..."

Zheng Feiyuan waved his hand: "Let's go, keep an eye on Zhang Da, this guy is so smooth-tongued, don't be fooled by him... By the way, you take the lead. After a while, when you have collected the remaining [-] guan, I will let you go." Second Lord personally came to Tubo to join you."

"Yes!"

The second master Zheng Feiyuan spoke of was Zheng Chengdong's second son, but he was born of a concubine, so his status in the Zheng family was not high.

This time, the Zheng family attached great importance to the cotton cloth business, and naturally they were worried about sending ordinary people to Tubo, so after a little discussion between the father and son, they decided to send the second master Zheng Feihu to go to Tubo in person, firstly to get the cotton as soon as possible, and secondly It is also to take this opportunity to make friends with the Ghanaian tribe to ensure that there will be a steady stream of cotton available in the future.

Immediately, Zhang Da led the convoy and started to set off under the escort of Zheng Asan.

……

Nanshan Mansion.

At the entrance of the villa, on the wide square.

Changsun Ganghammer and Changsun Tiehammer, supported by Li Lizhi and Ang Si, started to learn to walk.

The two children have completely inherited Gesang. Although they are young, they are already quite big. When they grow up, they will definitely be very majestic.

It was rare for Gesang to rest for a moment.

Sitting opposite Chen Chu, she whispered, "Godfather, I just received the news that Mrs. Zheng has asked Zhang Da to take [-] Guan and set off from Tubo..."

"Cough cough..."

On the side, Changsun Wuji stared at the two suspiciously.

Then he said loudly: "Gesang, you are the daughter-in-law of my eldest grandson's family, and you have a detached status in the Tang Dynasty. You can speak loudly, and don't need to be humble..."

"puff!"

Chen Chu just took a sip of water into his mouth, and immediately spit it out.

This old guy!

Too shameless.

Do you even suspect that Gesang and I have an affair?

It just doesn't make sense!

Ever since Changsun Wuji suspected that Chen Chu and Gesang were having an affair, and Changsun Chong was far away in Shanzhou, this old fellow would not allow Gesang and Chen Chu to meet alone.

Even though he was sitting next to him right now, he was not happy when he heard Gesang whispering to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu looked helpless.

He waved his hand and said, "Gesang, Elder Brother Changsun is one of his own, and he needs to work hard on this matter, so there's no need to keep it a secret from him."

Only then did Gesang briefly explain Zhang Da's matter in a normal voice.

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and asked, "According to this, the Zheng family is not an idiot, but sent 50 guards to transport the [-] guan money... How can the big and lonely figure carry the money quietly?" Walk?"

Chen Chu smiled slightly: "Brother, don't forget that this money is going to be transported to Luoxie city. It's not easy to deal with an accident on the boundary of Datang, but after leaving Datang, it's going to Luoxie city In the middle, no one can say what will happen... But, there is a manpower, so you have to come and find it."

Chen Chu was only responsible for coming up with ideas.

As for the execution, it was handed over to Zhangsun Wuji and Gesang.

Even if she reveals her secrets in the future, with Zheng's temper, I'm afraid she won't dare to do anything to the eldest grandson's family.

Changsun Wuji was taken aback.

Of course he guessed what Chen Chu was thinking.

But he also had to cooperate.

In this world, no one dares to play such a big game.

Eighty thousand guan is almost at your fingertips.

The temptation is too great.

He thought for a while and said, "In the Western Regions, I do have some manpower. If we reach the border of Tubo, it will not be difficult to have Gesang's help. However, my eldest grandson's family has put in so much effort this time. Are you going to How much will you give me?"

Chen Chu thought for a while and said, "I only want [-] guan!"

Snapped.

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he slapped the table angrily: "Why, my eldest grandson's family spent so much effort, why should I give you seven out of eight..."

Chen Chu took away [-] guan, leaving only [-] guan.

Although [-] is a lot.

But Changsun Wuji felt that this was simply unfair.

Chen Chu chuckled, and said, "Don't get excited, Brother Changsun, I haven't finished my sentence yet, who said there are only 15 guan, Zheng promised Zhang Da, but [-] guan..."

"You...you mean, Mrs. Zheng will give away the remaining [-] guan?" Changsun Wuji was taken aback.

"That's right..." Chen Chu explained, "Youdao is impatient and can't eat hot tofu, but Mrs. Zheng wants to eat hot tofu now. His franchise store has already been opened, and countless costs have been paid in the early stage. Now even cotton The factory has also been built, and it can be said that everything is ready, only the cotton is owed, and there is not much time left for the Zheng family, whether it is Zheng Chengdong or Zheng Feiyuan, they will definitely do their best..."

Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up.

If so, then he can get [-] guan.

Eighty thousand guan is not a small sum.

Exciting to think about.

I also heard Chen Chu say: "Of course, it's not just that, the Zheng family is in a hurry to collect money now, and will definitely sell some of the cloth. It just so happens that our West Datang Company can eat it all at once and strengthen our strength. However, the Zheng family is on guard against the West Datang Company, this matter, I have to leave it to you, Brother Changsun..."

"What, it's me again?" Changsun Wuji was a little unhappy.

Why am I the only one who works hard?

Chen Chu laughed, and said, "Don't you want West Datang Company to replace Zheng's position? If this happens, there will be no Zheng's cloth line in the world, only West Datang Company cloth line." , from now on, the cotton cloth will be from the West Datang Company, and the linen, silk, and brocade will all be from the West Datang Company..."

pat.

When Zhangsun Wuji heard the words, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground in fright: "You mean, you want to control the cloth business of the entire Tang Dynasty through the West Datang Company, replacing Zheng's?"

"you can say it this way!"

"hiss!"

Changsun Wuji gasped.

What a big breath.

However, Chen Chu really had this strength.

What a vicious kid Zheng has offended.

Fortunately, I didn't make an enemy of this kid at the beginning.

Changsun Wuji actually felt a little lucky.

……

Chapter 351

However, Changsun Wuji's worries are completely unnecessary.
