One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Nansheng, the Autumn of Troubled Times (19)

Three hundred and sixty lines, every line will be the number one scholar.

Merchants who have the ability to expand their business, their vision is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Just as this group of people was trying their best to find a way out, someone had already met Jiang Pengji one step ahead.

This person is none other than Cui Yu, the patriarch of the Cui family in Chongzhou.

When outsiders mentioned the Cui family in Chongzhou, they all said that their patriarch Cui Yu had eyes like a torch.

why?

Because Cui Yu bet heavily on Jiang Pengji before she became powerful.

It is precisely because of this choice that the small family that was originally hovering between the second-rate and the third-rate has become the leader of the Chongzhou forces.

Before taking refuge with Jiang Pengji, the Cui family in Chongzhou was originally just a fence-sitting faction in the eyes of outsiders. They got rich by doing business with Beijiang, and they were always looked down upon. After Jiang Pengji took over Chongzhou, she faced the threat from northern Xinjiang and the oppression from the local gentry in Chongzhou.

Cui Shi was not afraid of the situation, and resolutely chose to support Jiang Pengji. Facts proved that Cui Shi's gamble won.

As a reward, Mrs. Cui obtained the right to sell bamboo paper and rice paper from Jiang Pengji. After five years of cooperation between the two parties, Mrs. Cui also obtained the secret recipe for making the two kinds of paper. Relying on this business, Cui has made a lot of money in the past few years, and his status has risen even higher.

Hearing that Jiang Pengji was going to attract investment to build a branch of Jinlin Academy, Cui Yu rushed over without stopping.

Fortunately, when Cui Yu heard the news, he checked the business at a shop not far from Maruzhou, otherwise, the day lily would have been cold.

When Jiang Pengji heard Cui Yu's visit, she was quite surprised and said, "He's not staying in Chongzhou, why did he come to Maruzhou?"

The salted fish in the live broadcast looked stunned, time was too long, the salted fish changed batch after batch, and they forgot who Cui Yu was.

Fortunately, there are also a group of resident bosses in the live broadcast room. They are all good students who take notes during the live broadcast.

[Ghost Talent Guo Fengxiao]: Chongzhou Cui Yu? I have a little impression, it seems to be the head of the Cui family in Chongzhou. I remember his name is Chonghuan, because this guy always reminds me of Yuan Chonghuan. Speaking of which, this man hasn't shown his face in the live broadcast room for many years——

[Smuggling into Africa]: If Cui Yu doesn't jump out, I'll forget who he is.

The old salted fish's attitude of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" aroused the curiosity of the new salted fish.

[Salami Chicken Wings]: Who is Cui Yu? How is your appearance? How old are you?

[Pindao sees that your chrysanthemums are poisonous]: When the Dongqing earthquake struck, the anchor rescued a baby who was protected by his mother before she died. That baby was Cui Yu's son. Later, the anchor used this child to hook up with Cui Yu, win over the Cui family, and suppress other noble families in Chongzhou. Cui Yu should be about the same age as Fengzhen, married and have a son, so he looks okay.

The salted fish had the same doubt in their hearts, what is the purpose of Cui Yu's visit this time?

Could it be that it was also for the sake of competing for a place in the branch?

No matter how curious Xianyu is, the answer will not be revealed until he meets someone.

Not seeing each other for several years, the years did not leave deep marks on Cui Yu's face, but added a bit of depth and stability.

Jiang Pengji asked him straight to the point, "Why did Chonghuan come to Maruzhou?"

She is a busy person, time is precious, no time and closeness.

Cui Yu is also used to Jiang Pengji's straightforwardness, he said, "Because the accounts collected last year were not correct in some places, so I was checking the shop outside a few days ago, and I heard that the master is planning to build a branch of Jinlin Academy... I don't know about it But really?"

Jiang Pengji looked at Cui Yu with a half-smile, "Of course it's true. Could it be that Chong Huan also has this thought?"

The salted fish couldn't help but hold their breath, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Cui Yu came to invest, isn't this a good thing, why is the anchor not happy?

"Cui's business has been in business for many years, and the production is slightly thin. If the master does not give up, he will offer it to him to relieve the urgent need."

Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "The news about Chong Huan is too late. I slaughtered some of Dow's fat sheep a while ago, so how could there be a shortage of silver taels?"

Cui Yu showed a relaxed smile, and said gently, "So that's the case, that's Yu worrying too much."

After the two finished speaking, the inexplicably tense atmosphere dissipated again, leaving the salted fish at a loss.

[Musician Zhuge Qinmo]: Have you forgotten Cui's identity? Today's Cui family is already the leading force in Chongzhou. They used to be rich, but now they are still powerful and powerful. They are also quite trusted by the anchors and have won a lot of profitable business. If Cui Shi gets involved in the branch of Jinlin Academy again, the students who come out of the branch in the future will be Cui Shi's most natural connections. These students are all talents that the anchor spent a lot of money and time to create. It is impossible to become ordinary people. No matter how bad they are, they are still small officials.

If Mrs. Cui was a little ambitious, it would be much easier to form a party for personal gain than others.

Cui Yu came over to test Jiang Pengji, and saw that she had no intention of letting Cui Shi get involved in this aspect, so she changed her mind.

After listening to the big guy's analysis, Xianyu couldn't help shouting at the society.

Do you need an IQ to watch a live broadcast these days?

After all, Cui Yu was one of her own, and Jiang Pengji didn't treat her too harshly.

Declining Cui Yu to join the melee, she handed over the paper supply business of the academy and the government to Cui Yu.

With the gradual improvement of papermaking technology, the annual consumption of paper is also rising in a straight line.

The production mode of small workshops can no longer meet such a large demand. It just so happens that Jiang Pengji and Cui Yu's five-year cooperation period is coming up. At that time, the secret recipe of paper production will be handed over to Cui. Wait for Cui to make a lot of money for a while, and then fully disclose the secret recipe, so that other private businessmen can also get a share. There are more merchants making paper, and while the production volume increases, the market price will gradually drop.

The ultimate beneficiaries are ordinary readers.

Hearing Jiang Pengji's decision, Cui Yu's expression improved a lot, and his heart was relieved.

"The child of Chong Huan's family is also studying in the academy? I remember that child's name is Fu Shou?"

Cui Yu could only maintain an embarrassed yet polite smile for the name Fushou, which has a good meaning but is unbearably vulgar.

No way, he begged for this name from Jiang Pengji, no matter how vulgar it was, he wanted to use it.

"Gouzi has been studying in the academy for two years, and the master teaches carefully. A while ago, he sent a letter from home, saying that he was in the top three of his class."

Jiang Pengji praised from the bottom of her heart, "Top three? That's really good. Chong Huan will succeed."

Cui Yu thought that Jiang Pengji was still single and didn't even have an heir, so he could only smile and listen silently, not daring to answer.

The outside world was waiting to see Jiang Pengji's jokes, but it was unexpected that Cui Shi would appear at this juncture.

Knowing that Cui Shi did not win the quota, everyone continued to sneer and watch, and a group of businessmen with big families couldn't sit still.

Cui Yu is Jiang Pengji's confidant, if they want to fight for the spot, they really have no hope!

Ever since, they became more diligent through the back door, just as they were burning with anxiety, Jiang Pengji announced the specific time.
