"Oh, it seems that I am not a good person in the eyes of the young master of the district." Ruan Phuket-Luomin did not continue to be aggressive and stroked his beard and smiled.

"Your old Wan family's name is unknown to everyone. If you have a false saying, the sky will hit thunder." Seeing that the old fox was about to let him go, Qu Zhongda hurriedly gave him a bunch of flatteries, asking for the fake ones as much as possible.

"Come on, I will introduce myself to Mr. Qu. Ji Hongchang is the adopted son of my nephew. I believe Mr. Qu has heard of it!" Ruan Phuket pulled Zhou Shixiong and introduced him to Mr. Qu. Jun. Mr. Qu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, grinned, and his eyes narrowed into a slit. "I have seen Mr. Ji, and Zhongda in Zhongda, Xia Guangnan District, helping his family host some small businesses. This time I heard that Lang San Mansion had a big move, so I came down to see the fun."

Qu Zhongda introduced himself and did not forget to leave it clear. It seems that he was not really the one who came to Lang San Mansion on behalf of Guangnan District. Zhou Shixiong bowed his fists and replied, "I have met Gu Gongzi in Ji Hongchang."

Qu Zhongda was waiting for a few greetings, and Ruan Feiluomin was unhappy and drove people with a dark face. "Hongchang wants to take the old man around to visit. Master Qu should do whatever he wants."

Qu Zhongda did not dare to look at the old fox, and bowed with a grievance, "I disturbed the old man's elegant mood, and was extremely frightened. I held a banquet at Pinxiang Pavilion tonight to apologize to the old man, hoping that the old man would appreciate his face. Master Ji went with me and helped me to say a few nice words to the old man." Qu Zhongda was also an interesting person, saying all the way back, and after he finished speaking, he was about to retreat to the street, and he would not give Ruan Phuket to refuse at all.

When the interesting fat man left, Ruan Phuket put away the exaggerated expression on his face and shook his head, "Hongchang, don't underestimate this guy. I have suffered losses in his hands in the past few years. You are so scary." Zhou Shixiong thought that Qu Zhongda, who was completely suppressed by the old fox, was just a little capable, but he didn't expect that it would actually make Ruan Phuket lose. It's really not easy.

"Guangnan is so far away, what did he do when he comes to Lang San Mansion?" Zhou Shixiong said far not only refers to distance, but also to hostile forces. It is impossible for Qu Zhongda to come to participate in the trade fair to gain something.

Nguyen Phuclus Raymond obviously understood Zhou Shixiong's words, "This boy is unpredictable. He must have a certain plan to come. He should reveal some tonight." It seems that Nguyen Phuclus Raymond attaches great importance to Qu Zhongda's invitation and does not refuse because of the other party's forced invitation.

The appearance of Zhongda from the Big Fat District was just a small episode. Zhou Shixiong quickly began to discuss the issue of the exchange with Nguyen Phuclus. Based on Zhou Shixiong's insight and analysis, there is no place in Jiaozhi except Shenglong Mansion suitable for such an organization. Nguyen Phuclus is very important in the northern business district of Jiaozhi. If he comes forward to organize a wealthy merchant to form a chamber of commerce, no matter how much goods you have, you can eat.

"Chronicles? This is probably difficult to do." Nguyen Phucluomin was not optimistic about the Chamber of Commerce's proposal. Zhou Shixiong was afraid that he did not understand the characteristics of the Chamber of Commerce, so he explained very seriously. "Challenge is an organization formed by free alliances among merchants. Its main function is to resolve disputes between merchants and facilitate information and exchanges. Chamber of Commerce cannot force others to join and withdraw, nor can it force others to do things that harm themselves according to the Chamber of Commerce's orders."

"Hongchang, your idea is very good. The problem is that you don't understand the foundation of the Jiaozhi Haoshang. Long Qingxiang, who is in charge of Lao Xi, belongs to the Nguyen Phuc family's family property. Although Lao Xi has a leading name, there are actually many things that cannot be decided on. The one who really masters Long Qingxiang is actually the head of the Nguyen Phuc family. Other great merchants are basically the same as Long Qingxiang, and they are all spokespersons of various forces. Many times they cannot do business in business."

Nguyen Phuket gave Zhou Shixiong a basic knowledge lecture, allowing Zhou Shixiong to have a deeper understanding of the political and economic situation of Jiaozhi. The Northern Vietnamese dynasty under the Zheng family accounted for two-thirds of the total area of ​​Jiaozhi, but the population was almost the same as the southern part. If the refugees who evolved peacefully in Zhenla were included, the population in the south was even larger than that in the north. In this era, the population was part of strength. Not only could the large population be levied more taxes, but there were also relatively abundant soldiers when wars broke out. Zheng Jian, Zheng Song and his son worked hard for nearly a hundred years but failed to take over the Southern Dynasties, which was largely attributed to the insufficient population.

These are the general situation, and almost all the local governments rule the place in the form of clans, which is almost the same as the Ming Dynasty's policy of governing prefectures. The only difference is that the Ming Dynasty divided the prefectures into multiple prefectures and enfeoffed them to chieftains, while Jiaozhi did not set up prefectures and counties below the prefectures, and towns were set up in various places of ethnic groups, which were nominally under the jurisdiction of the prefectures.

The benefits of doing this are obvious for the Li Dynasty and Vietnamese dynasties, which are completely unable to implement centralization. Since a government is a country, the forces within the government are complicated and restrained, and the government lord can only rely on the power of the court to rule the area. Once the court shows dissatisfaction with the government lord, a very few government lords can withstand this pressure.

Not to mention the Li Dynasty in the southern part, the Taiyuan Prefecture was the only one who was independent in the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty, implemented the system of government and religion, tied all the forces in the government together, and jointly abide by the orders of the Lord of the Palace. It is no exaggeration to say that the Taiyuan Prefecture can fight against any force in the Northern Vietnamese, including the Shenglong Prefecture controlled by the Zheng family.

"Since Taiyuan Prefecture is so strong, why didn't Zheng attack him?" Zhou Shixiong had been to Taiyuan Prefecture, and he liked the cleanliness of Taiyuan Prefecture very much.

"Of course I'm keeping him to restrain our Ruan Phuc. Is there any other reason?" Ruan Phuc Luomin's answer seemed strange. Zhou Shixiong thought for a while before he understood what it meant. Taiyuan Prefecture is very strong but only one place, while Ruan Phuc possesses four places. If Ruan Phuc had not set off a carriage and horse to attack Xuan Guang Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture would have to take revenge, not to mention the current situation, it would be great.

"Hongchang understands that all wealthy merchants in various provinces must serve the clans. Even if they form chambers of commerce, they cannot truly follow the business rules. It seems that the exchange can't be done." Zhou Shixiong sighed very much that he contributed such a good way to make money for free. Not only did he not get praise, but he was also said to be naive and it was difficult for good people to do!

"The current situation is definitely not possible. Unless someone breaks the deadlock between the north and the south and ends this long-lasting war of expanding the country, these good ideas of Hongchang will not be useful." Ruan Phuket-Luomin also sighed. The longer he had been in contact with Ji Hongchang, a young man, the more he found that it was difficult to guess. How did he come up with such a complex business idea?

That night, Zhou Shixiong accompanied Ruan Phuket to Pinxiang Pavilion for a banquet. Zhou Shixiong thought it was just a small dinner for a few people, but when he came to Pinxiang Pavilion, he realized that he was wrong. The door was full of various carriages, almost blocking the street in front of Pinxiang Pavilion. Zhongda, the big fat man, stood at the gate and directed the servants to drive the carriage away, and left the street for others to pass through, with the posture of a traffic director.

"Oh, Mr. Ruan Phuc is here. Please forgive me for not seeing the old man's car. I'm rude." Zhou Shixiong helped Ruan Phuc Luomin get off the carriage, and Qu Zhongda rushed over to see the ceremony as soon as possible.

"What's the point of making such a big scene?" Ruan Phoenix Ruan pointed at the long Che Long with a crutch and asked without hesitation.

"The old man is too concerned. When I invited the two, I never thought it would happen like this. But my elder brother said that I can't neglect the old man and I must find a suitable person to accompany me. Although Lang San's house is invincible for a while, there are really no qualified people to compare with the old man. I can only invite my peers to support the scene for the despicable brothers." Not to mention that Ngu Chung-da's explanation, Nguyen Phuc-Luomin would not believe it, I am afraid that the stray dogs passing by would not believe it.

The old man was very calm and glanced at him contemptuously and stopped talking, signaling Ji Hongchang to go in. Qu Zhongda followed him all the way, carefully not daring to say more. He knew that his elder brother's actions must have angered the old fox Ruan Phoe-Luomin, and there would be a good show next, and it would be great if he was not the one who acted on stage.

Qu Zhongda's elder brother Qu Boda is two completely opposite to his younger brother. He is tall, strong, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his smile makes people hate him. It's so fucking perfect! "The old man is here, please, please."

As soon as he walked into the gate of Pinxiang Pavilion, the future leader of Guangnan had already come out of it. Zhou Shixiong didn't need anyone to introduce him to him, so he knew that this person was the real master. There was no way, this guy's aura was so powerful that if he hadn't been with Ruan Phuket, Zhou Shixiong would have covered his face in shame.

"Berda, I haven't seen anyone learn to set up a formation for more than a year." Ruan Phucluomin laughed and scolded Qu Zhongda. He really didn't dare to be too arrogant at the future lord of Guangnan Prefecture. After all, the Li family is very strong now, and one day they may regain the dominance of Jiaozhi and break up with the main followers of the Li family, which is not in the interests of the Nguyen Phuc.

"Haha, the old man is really good at joking. How dare you play tricks with you?" You're so crazy! Zhou Shixiong looked at Qu Boda who was swaying freely in front of him and cursed in his heart.

"It seems that I will not solve the mystery if I don't go in. I will be reluctant to play with you." Zhou Shixiong was whispering the handsome sunny man in his heart, but Ruan Phuket looked at Qu Boda very seriously. He is different from Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong only knew today that someone was named Qu Zhongda and Qu Boda. How could he know how awesome these two brothers were?

"You thanked the old man for his care. You just want to ask the old man for help if you have something to do. Please relax." The voice was very tight, and Ruan Phoe Luomin said that he was about to turn against him, so Qu Boda revealed a little news.

On the third floor of Pinxiang Pavilion, four people sat at the only banquet, the Ou brothers and Nguyen Phucluo Minjia Ji Hongchang. The very hospitality Qu Boda asked who this person was after entering the suite on the third floor. Finally, he gave Zhou Shixiong a chance to introduce himself. "In Xia Ji Hongchang, I have met the eldest son of Qu."

"It turns out that brother Tai is Ji Hongchang, so he is rude." It seems that Qu Boda really regards Zhou Shixiong as his follower of Ruan Phuc Luomin, otherwise he would not have said anything rude.

"Young Master Ji must not blame his elder brother. He just arrived in Liangshan City from Guangning Mansion and was a little tired and negligent." Qu Zhongda helped his elder brother find the steps. Zhou Shixiong carefully observed Qu Boda and found that he was indeed very tired. His sunny image just now was posing.
