Local merchants mainly focus on refined salt and high-strength wine. These two items can be sold to other places and can definitely make a lot of money.

As for toilet water and perfume, they also want to compete, but they cannot compete with foreign merchants. Foreign merchants have shops in the mainland and have good sales channels. This is what local merchants lack. They can be merchants and wholesalers.

If we open a store directly in the mainland and recruit people, it will be very expensive.

Not to mention cement, which I am afraid the court will directly intervene in in the future. If you don’t have any capital in the mainland, you are looking for death if you sell cement.

The result of the auction was that local people jointly won the refined salt business. According to them, they have been selling salt, and this time they only sold it to the mainland. There is no problem, not to mention that County Magistrate Li directly

Once Yan Yin is issued, you can take the Yan Yin issued by the government and go directly to major cities in the mainland for sale.

All other items were auctioned off by foreign businessmen. On the one hand, it was a matter of financial resources. Although the rich households in Wanling County were very arrogant and wealthy locally, this was compared to the poor locals.

They don’t know how rich a wealthy businessman in the Mainland is? A wealthy family from Yangzhou directly took away the direct sales rights of cement in the Mainland for 800,000 in cash. Such a big deal made the people of Wanling County stunned.

The amount of these bids has greatly exceeded Li Changxian's imagination. When He Yue came over to report to him, Li Changxian was laughing so hard that the corners of his mouth stretched to his ears.

All afternoon, Li Changxian sat in the county government hall and giggled. The people who came to the county government office to do business were all stunned, and they didn't know what to say to Li Changxian?

When everyone came back that night, Li Changxian loudly announced that everyone in the county government would be given five taels of silver and would have two days off.

For a moment, there was a burst of cheers in the county government office.

Zhang Kewen, He Yue, Xu Le: Will you still teach tomorrow?

Li Zhu: Master, are you so rich now? When will you give me the money I invested?

Wang Jingmei: Should this money be managed by me? Do you want to ask me what I mean when it comes to distributing money?

Li Huer: Now that I have money, I can go out and buy snacks!

...

That night, Li Changxian hosted a banquet in honor of Tang Yan, a big businessman from Yangzhou. This time he came to Wanling County with Cao Yun and others. It was Li Changxian's third uncle who asked him to come to Wanling County to see his nephew living in Wanling County.

How is it going, and I also sent a letter from Uncle Li Changxian.

The letter stated several things. The eldest son of Li Changxian's second uncle's family, Li Changyuan, was already a Jinshi and was now waiting for assignment abroad. The second son, Li Changhao, had also won the imperial examination.

Li Changxian's grandfather was in good health, but Li Changxian's grandmother suffered from a serious illness at the end of last year. During this period, Li Changxian's third uncle returned to Beijing with the permission of the court for more than a month. Although Li Changxian's grandmother has recovered, her health is not as good as before.

Li Changxian's father is still in the Western Regions and has not come back, but the court will make big moves in the near future and wants Li Changxian to take up his post in Wanling County with peace of mind.

As for the large ships ordered by Li Changxian last time, they have been built and will be sent out in the middle of this month. It is estimated that they will arrive in Wanling County in more than a month.

Li Changxian also received a letter from his mistress Li Changlu. He had already received the last edition of The Eight Tribes of the Dragon, and he showed off his talents at this new book sale and sold it at auction for 400,000 taels.

This time Tang Yan was coming to Lingnan Mansion, so Li Changlu gave Tang Yan the money from the Three Kingdoms auction last year, deducting the ship purchase fee, plus the 400,000, for a total of 500,000 taels of silver notes, and sent them to Li Changxian.

Money? When Li Changxian reached out and asked Tang Yan for money, Tang Yan told Li Changxian that the money had been spent.

Li Changxian suddenly became furious, "Who are you? That's my money! How did you spend my money?"

"cement"

Tang Yan, who was drinking and laughing on the side, only said two words.

Li Changxian understood it all at once, and then suddenly became furious, "You are using my money to compete for cement!"

No wonder they are so generous!

Tang Yan was not worried at all about whether Li Changxian would be angry or not. He also did not expect that when he came to Wanling County this time, he would actually discover the huge business opportunity of cement. Of course he would not let this competition go by and directly offered him 800,000 taels.

The bidding scared everyone away. In fact, if he had one million, he would just shout for one million.

Li Changxian looked at Tang Yan quietly, thinking who was this Tang Yan? The person who could ask Uncle Li Changxian to take care of him must be an acquaintance of the third uncle, or perhaps an old friend of the Li family.

Li Changxian's eyes suddenly lit up, royal family!

He must be a child of the royal family. The emperor of the Jin Dynasty was named Tang, so this Tang Yan must be a child of the royal family!

If you are an ordinary person, even if your surname is Tang, Li Changxian will not think that you are from the royal family. After all, there are too many people with the surname Tang.

But being so familiar with Uncle Li Changxian, being able to directly entrust him with important personal letters, and asking him to go to Wanling County to see Li Changxian, that is not an ordinary relationship. He is not a high-ranking official in the court, but he is probably a descendant of the royal family.

.

Li Changxian is not very fond of the royal family. To be honest, he is a little afraid. He knows that in history, those who have anything to do with the royal family have a bad end. The princes fight for the throne and the royal family is cruel. Therefore, Li Changxian hides as far away as possible from everything that has anything to do with the royal family.

If people sit at home, disaster will fall from heaven!
