The warm winter sun shines on people, making it very comfortable.

Yuan An found a rattan chair, lay in the workshop yard, leisurely closing his eyes and resting.

Yuan Ansheng was extremely fat, only seven feet tall, but his weight exceeded 370 kilograms (Hanjin, about 82 kilograms today), so he looked like a round fat ball.

However, he was the son of the Yuan family and served the Yuan family for three generations. Before the Yuan family was still rising, he was already an old servant of the Yuan family.

It was also because of this relationship that Yuan was arranged to come to Xinfeng to serve as the workshop owner, managing the craftsmen, apprentices and daily affairs of the workshop.

It is not the direct descendant of Yuan's family, so it is impossible for him to be sent here.

Because the owner won't feel at ease.

"Brother Yuan...Brother Yuan..." Yuan An was relaxing, and heard a rapid voice from outside the door. Just as he was about to get up, he saw that the man had already walked closer.

Yuan An raised his eyes and saw a strong man with a beard on his face and looking big and thick.

"It turns out it's Brother Tian..." Yuan An sat up, bowed slightly, and said strangely: "Brother Tian is not in Guifang and stared at the production mold rod. Come to my humble place, what's the matter with you..."

The visitor came to Yuan An, laughed dryly, and bowed, "Brother Yuan, are you still holding a grudge the day before yesterday?"

"In Shangyan Business... you don't know the rules in the workshop garden. Whoever gives the low wage and high security will get the order..."

"Besides, how could I know my brother is interested in this..."

"Haha..." Yuan An sneered twice, but it didn't start to attack.

Because the status of the visitor is not lower than that of him.

The Yuan family is very rich and can even be called the richest man in the world. This is a fact.

However, in many cases, money alone is not enough.

Just like three months ago, did the Zhou family have no money?

Do merchants in Huai City have no money?

However, in the end, aren’t all the clans killed? Are women, children, children, and children not officials, slaves?

Nowadays, many businessmen have already understood the fact that no matter how rich you are, in the eyes of those powerful ministers, they are just waiting for the lamb to be slaughtered. If you say you die, you will be destroyed and you will be able to survive.

So, the great merchants in Guanzhong looked for a backer.

Hold the Wuzhu coins and gold in your hand and buy insurance for yourself.

But this insurance is divided into three, six and five levels.

For example, Zhou bought the lowest-quality expired insurance, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, so he was gray.

The Yuan family bought it in the past, but it only had average medium insurance.

It's just that he is attached to the Grand Secretary and has some relationships with General Ershi, so he can barely protect himself.

But it is unsafe after all. The Yuan family once did not even sleep well, for fear that one day they would be destroyed.

It was not until half a year ago that I finally breathed out and had a hard backer.

but……

The Tian family is different.

Since the beginning of the country, the Tian family has been prosperous for a hundred years and has a strong backer for generations.

Behind the contemporary Tian family, the people standing are in power!

The Secretary of State Zhang Anshi and the Crown Prince Zhang He.

Therefore, Yuan An didn't dare to show off in front of this person.

Because in terms of backing, everyone is actually similar.

However, the attitudes of the two backers towards each other are different.

The backer behind me was only reluctant to take the lead because of the initial love and the young master.

And the Tian family...

That is the family friendship between Zhang Anshi brothers!

His father Zhang Tang, when he was just a minor official, had a close relationship with Tian Jia of the Tian family and was called brothers.

All the way, he will support money, provide merit, and help him get promoted.

After Zhang Tang died, he took out a lot of money to live in Zhang's orphans and widows, buy property, and serve the two generations of mistresses of the Zhang family like slaves.

Therefore, Yuan An knew that the Secretary of State Zhang Anshi now called Tian Sheng, the contemporary head of the Tian family, "Uncle".

Therefore, if you really want to commit a crime, the two families are in a bad mood, Yuan An knows that he has no good results.

However, it was a delusion to want Yuan An to give this black-faced man a good look.

Just like the other party said, business is about business.

After humming twice, Yuan An said, "I have learned the lesson my brother gave me the day before yesterday!"

"I'll see you and I'll find out next time I bid!"

This is no wonder Yuan An is indignant.

A few days ago, the workshop garden presided over a parts bidding.

As a result, the Yuan Family Workshop lost to the opposite Tian Family Workshop with a price difference of one cent.

This incident made Yuan An lose face, and even made the head of the family feel a little unhappy. He even said to his left and right privately: "I handed over to Yuan An with a heavy trust, but I didn't expect to lose my intention!"

This incident scared Yuan An to death and hurriedly apologized, and finally comforted the owner of the family.

But next time the bidding is over, Yuan An is bound to win.

Otherwise, if you ask outsiders to see it, the Yuan family will not be able to win the bid for Zhang Chiyou twice in a row.

How could outsiders not think in their hearts: "Is it because Yuan and Zhang Chiyou have a strait?"

This is not fun at all!

Not to mention, if you win the mold stick order, you can also get the industrial support and treatment from Shaofu, giving the craftsmen of your own workshop the opportunity to go to Shaofu for training and guidance.

For Yuan Family Workshop, even if it is not profitable, it is profitable to obtain this order.

The black-faced man looked at Yuan An's fat face full of disgust. Instead of leaving, he walked forward with a thick face and smiled: "Brother said this... I don't mention Yuan and Tian's friendship, even if my brother used to me in the past, he would have a lot of favors. Next time he bid, Tian's workshop will retreat!"

When Yuan An heard this, he looked at the other party with an incredible look: "It's true?"

There are only a few workshops in this workshop garden.

The Tian family, the Yuan family, and the Yang family and the Wang family.

Others, either have no strength, no skills, or no scale.

Not to be afraid!

The main business of the Yang family and the Wang family is not smelting or forging. One is mainly carpentry and the other is mainly processing, which does not constitute direct competition.

In other words, as long as the Tian family does not participate, the Yuan Family Workshop will definitely win the next bid for the model.

That's a very high profit and is closely related to national strategy!

The mold rods produced will eventually form iron molds to produce honeycomb coal that is now popular both inside and outside Chang'an.

Since then, the entire Chang'an has caused a sensation.

Cheap, easy to obtain, and stable burning honeycomb coal immediately occupied the market!

It is hard to find an iron model in the market.

Every day, XXX rented several iron models from the government through channels, and then worked with his brother Kunzhong to harvest peat and soil to make honeycomb coal, and sell them with Jia Si, making thousands of dollars or even thousands of dollars a day.

It is also because of this that the Nine Ministers have officials, and they are already crazy.

After all, everyone has three aunts and sisters, and the outer room and the domestic slaves need to take care of.

In the past, many people may not be able to support their relatives inside and outside the family even if they use their strength.

Now, just use the small power in your hands and rent the iron model assigned to the government to the relatives, and they can get rich through "work".

Not only the crazy thing about being an official, but also the whole workshop garden went crazy.

Everyone knows that the demand for iron molds will last for a long time, be stable and considerable.

What’s more important is that the market is huge!

As long as you master relevant technologies, you will have an extra way of wealth in the future!

only……

Yuan An looked up and down at the black-faced man from the Tian family and said, "You must ask for something if you treat others with courtesy..."

"Brother Tian, ​​you have paid so much, so there must be something I need to do, right?"

After dealing with the other party for several months, how could Yuan An not know that although the other party seemed to be crude, he was really cunning like a scholar.

"Ming Gong is wise..." The black-faced man smiled and said, "It's just that I have something to ask for!"

"What's the matter?" Yuan An asked with his hands behind his back.
