Chapter 211 Fried in the gutter(1/2)

After receiving the order, Shen Shixing and others quickly announced that they had temporarily put aside due to the many controversies in lifting the restrictions on clothing, chariots and horses.

When the censors and censors heard this, they were very happy. This was their victory, at least that's what they thought.

But the four officials were not happy anymore.

Jiang Family.

"What the hell is going on?"

Jiang Shiyou said: "I didn't talk about the restrictions on the clothes and clothes of this carriage two days ago. Will it be lifted this time?"

Zhao Fengyuan said a little panickedly: "I don't know this either. As mentioned above, many princes and nobles were also hoarding silk, so this shouldn't be fake."

"Since it's not fake, what's going on now?" Jiang Shiyou wondered.

Xiong Feng said with a serious expression: "It's not the time to argue about this. We have to find a way to solve the 15,000 pieces of silk. We were stocking up a lot of silk in our hands, so we didn't need so much silk at all."

At this time, a butler quickly entered the hall, "Master, the price of silk has dropped by a minute."

"One minute?"

Jiang Shiyou was shocked and said, "How is this possible? It didn't even rise a point at the beginning."

The housekeeper said, "This is because there are rumors outside that the court will strictly enforce restrictions on chariots, horses, and clothes, and will also send Jinyiwei to arrest those who violate the rules, so most people are selling silk."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Shiyou and the others quickly looked down at their clothes.

A quarter of an hour later, the four of them changed into cloth and returned to the lobby.

If the Jinyiwei catches him, he will be dead forever!

This is really no joke.

"We bought the 15,000 pieces of silk at a price of four cents. If we sell them again now, we will lose about 5,000 taels, even if we sell them immediately." Xiong Feng said.

Zhao Fengyuan said: "But the problem is that it is probably very difficult to take action now."

Mao Shen said: "We just paid 5,000 taels, and we can return the goods. I believe that with the prestige of the four of us, those Suzhou and Hangzhou merchants dare not offend us easily."

Jiang Shiyou waved his hand and said, "It's just a few thousand taels. We don't have to offend the merchants of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Besides, the profits from the wood are tens of thousands taels."

"Master, Master, something is wrong."

I saw a shopkeeper in his fifties running in panic and gasping for breath: "Master, something is wrong."

Jiang Shiyou stood up and said, "What happened again?"

The shopkeeper said: "Just just now, Guo Dan suddenly announced the termination of the cooperation contract with Chen Ping. They will spend money to rent Xu Jirong's private camp and transform it into a racecourse."

When the four of them heard this, they were shocked.

"Release-owned?"

Jiang Shiyou said: "How can the private camp be transformed into a racecourse?"

Xiong Feng said: "This is impossible. Even if they want to renovate the racecourse, they don't have wood."

The shopkeeper said, "It is said that they have rented all the surrounding villages and transformed the houses of the people into tea shops and wine shops. They have also transformed a temple into a prize pool hall."

"This is impossible, this is impossible."

Jiang Shiyou shook his head repeatedly, and suddenly, he strode outside.

Zhao Fengyuan, Mao Shen, Xiong Feng and others also followed him out quickly.

However, they didn't even dare to sit in a carriage now, so they could only ride in a convertible donkey carriage and rushed to the private camp outside the south city under the biting cold north wind.

But now they don't care about the cold.

When they came to the refugee camp, they were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.

I saw that the chaotic private camp that was still in chaos a few days ago has now become a racecourse, and there is no trace of the private camp at all.

And there were hundreds of craftsmen knocking there.

The villages around the private camp are all people, and they are steaming everywhere. They should be steaming something. This is not the time to eat. Are these people all developed?

"This is a conspiracy. This is Guo Dan's conspiracy."

Xiong Feng's eyes were covered with bloodshots and he said with gritted teeth.

Now at this glance, it is not difficult to see that this must have been carefully selected.

Xu Jirong sold this land very flat. After sweeping the surrounding debris, it was a racecourse. Not only that, there were also some small hills around him. Just like the seats they were standing now, the movements and quiet of the entire racecourse were clear, and it could accommodate more people to watch the competition. This experience was far better than the racecourse over there.

In addition, there are many villages around, and with a slight renovation, it can accommodate many people, and there is no need for wood construction at all.

"It's over! It's over!"

Jiang Shiyou took two steps back.

The silk was only 30,000 taels, but the wood was not the price. They purchased all the wood on the market at one-third of the price. If they had to give it all, it would be a huge sum. The four of them spread it equally, which would be enough for them to drink a pot.

In fact, they didn't plan to ask for it all, because Guo Dan didn't need so much wood. They had an agreement with the big timber merchants. After completing the transaction at a high price, they gave them some money, and then returned the remaining wood to the timber merchants.

Of course, the timber merchants are willing. If they sell, the amount of wood will not increase and they will be suppressed by Chen Ping. Anyway, the four major officials also paid one-third of the money to them, so they will make sure to make a profit.

The four of them never expected that before they targeted Guo Dan, Guo Dan had already targeted them. In Guo Dan's plan, the first step was to eliminate them all, and this was a must-take. Otherwise, any actions of Guo Dan would be limited by them, and the risk would be too great.

You should know that all four of them have the background of the government, and Guo Dan offended many officials. For example, this time, when they started to target Guo Dan, many forces in the court supported them. If this time it was not the pit that Guo Dan dug by himself, then Guo Dan would be very troublesome.

So Guo Dan had to solve them before he made a big move. He spent a lot of effort on this, but he also spent tens of thousands of taels to deal with them.

.

"Person Guo, you should have chosen this place long ago. It's much better than that. The distance there is not bad, and there is nothing. Although it is a little simpler, haha, there is at least a place to rest."

Jiang Qianhu, who was going to fight and kill a few days ago, hugged Guo Dan and laughed.

"Jiang Qianhu made sense. It's so much better here. He's here just after he goes out. I think he can hold a Marseille every day."

“Marcelona can be held once every three days.”

.

These loyal fans of Marseille rushed over immediately after hearing the news. They fell in love with this place at a glance. This is a natural racecourse, close to the city.

Guo Dan just smiled but said nothing.

"Nephew, nephew, please judge."

Hearing a shout, Zhou Feng and Cao Da, the enemy, came over with red faces.

"My nephew, I'll come first. Those houses I already like, so I should rent them to me." Zhou Feng, who was a wealthy family, was also excited at this time, and he was no different from a thug.

Cao Da snorted: "So what if you came first? You haven't negotiated with your nephew. This contract has not been signed, so naturally you can't count it."

"Cao Da, I have been tolerating you for a long time. Don't be too tempted."

Zhou Feng rolled up his sleeves.

When Cao Da saw that you, the old boy, dared to roll up your sleeves, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Is it going to fight? OK, whoever wins will be the one who will be."

"Two, two."

Guo Dan hurriedly stopped in the middle and said, "You two have always been in love with me. I don't want to earn your money. If you can't argue, you can only get the higher price, but I advise you to negotiate privately."

Cao Da and Zhou Feng are both very smart. If the price is higher, they will definitely exceed their expectations. They silently put down their sleeves and then silently walked aside.

Jiang Qianhu said curiously: "What are they fighting for?"

Guo Dan sighed: "It's just a few village houses."

"Village house?"

Jiang Qianhu was stunned for a moment, then looked around and pointed at the dilapidated village houses around, "Those village houses?"

Guo Dan nodded.

Everyone was speechless.

Zhou Feng and Cao Dake are both famous wealthy businessmen in the capital, but now they are fighting for several villages and houses. However, they found that many people have started fighting, and even two people rolled down the hillside while fighting. Several people went to pull, but they couldn't pull them away.

This man died for money, and the bird died for food.

At this moment, I can't be polite, because when Marseille is put here, it is a prime location, and the rent of the surrounding houses instantly exceeds that of Mashi Street. Although it takes about eight days a month, bet a day and competition a day, the passenger flow in these eight days is unimaginable. The key is that there is no place to go around, so I can only sit in the surrounding houses. This is really a profit that can be seen with the naked eye.

The people around this area went from poor peasants to well-off overnight. Guo Dan not only rented their houses at high prices, but also gave them some stalls to trade here. Their income alone exceeded their annual income, because all the loyal fans of Marseille came, and they had to eat and drink here, but there was no need for supply.

Zhou Feng and the others have not entered the market yet. Now these people sell cakes and tea are the people who originally lived here.

The people on the other side of the river have the desire to die when they see this. Just a few steps away, it is really a difference between heaven and hell.

At this time, a carriage slowly came to this point, and Xu Mengqiu got off the carriage.

"So lively?"

Xu Mengchong was shocked when he looked at the crowds.

Suddenly, several figures flashed beside him. Before he could see clearly, he heard a laugh: "Xing'an Bo, our Xu and Zhang families are family friends, and this private room cannot be without my share."

Xu Meng turned his head and saw that it was an old man with black and white hair mixed with ginseng, and hurriedly said, "Oh! Duke of England."

This old man is the British Duke Zhang Yuangong.
