Later, several businessmen came looking for Jin Qiao.
Chenzhou is very big, which refers to the territory.
Chenzhou is very small because the business circle is so large.
"Brother Wang, Brother Hong, Brother Lin."
Wang Min's smile was polite and courteous, Hong Yazhi's smile was as gentle as his name, but Lin En looked a little dissatisfied and anxious.
"You all know?" Jin Qiao asked someone to get tea.
Wang Min sat down and moved his buttocks, "Yang Xuan's people just arrived at my place and said that at the end of the day tomorrow, Yang Xuan will say something good for us. What do you think, brother Jin?"
Jin Qiao looked at the three of them, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, using this action to think of a way to deal with it.
"Without us, Taiping's business would only be so big at most. If we want to expand, we have to wait for those businessmen to slowly get rich... But business opportunities wait for no one, and Lin'an also opened up the business, and Yang Xuan panicked.
"
Lin En frowned, "What else can he say in such a situation? It's nothing more than saying something about how great peace is. No matter how great peace is, is it good for Lin'an to be fed by us?"
Hong Yazhi said calmly: "Everyone, Lin'an's appetite is too big. It's hard for us to feed them. If there is peace, we only need to give some money and we can do whatever we want. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Jin Qiao looked at him, "Brother Hong, want to go to Taiping?"
Hong Yazhi shook his head, "I want to give it a try. If I can bribe Yang Xuan... Think about it, wouldn't it be nice if we went directly to the grassland to trade?"
Lin En's eyes moved slightly, "You can sell whatever you want to sell then."
Jin Qiao coughed dryly, "How about... try it?"
Hong Yazhi summoned his men and whispered: "You took two ingots of silver and asked to see Yang Xuan. Tell him that Yang Xuan had a hard time traveling all the way. This is the carriage fee we gave him. If he doesn't accept it, say...
Peace is too far away to do business."
After his people left, Wang Min laughed and cursed: "This excuse for bribery is too vulgar, can't you change it to an elegant one?"
Hong Yazhi shook his head, "It has to be vulgar. If he is willing to accept it, we dare to smash it."
"You also threatened him, which is a bit too much." Jin Qiao said this, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking extremely comfortable.
"This is a notice. If he doesn't accept it, I'm very sorry. We won't go to Taiping anymore. Later, businessmen will gather in Lin'an, and Taiping will gradually become lonely."
Lin En said: "I have experienced many officials. No matter how sanctimonious they may seem on weekdays, once money or future is mentioned, they suddenly become ugly. Even smart people can be confused. It shows that fame and fortune touch people's hearts."
"Yang Xuan is not stupid, he will naturally agree." Jin Qiao said: "But even if he agrees, we can't get all the business to Taiping. After a little testing, the bulk of it still has to be in Lin'an."
"This is fishing, right?" Hong Yazhi said with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Not long after, Hong Yazhi's entourage came back.
"He confiscated it."
Hong Yazhi felt a little hot on his face, "What did he say?"
"Yang Xuanming will naturally find out tomorrow."
Hong Yazhi smiled to hide her embarrassment, "In that case, why don't we go and see it tomorrow?"
Everyone nodded.
Lin En said: "Just think of it as watching the fun."
…
"Join the army. Those businessmen said they would go back tomorrow to see the excitement."
"I understand." Han Li nodded, put down the document in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and yawned, "Tired!"
The news also reached Liu Qing.
"He's just careless."
Liu Qing frowned deeply, raised his head and asked Lu Qiang, "I often think about how to teach the children at home. Many times, reasoning seems to be useful, but the children remain the same afterward. After thinking about it, I have only one way...
…”
"Fight!" Lu Qiang gave him the answer.
"But he is not my child after all." Liu Qing shook his head, "He is still a county magistrate. How can I beat him? Since I can't beat him, let's go and see."
Liu Qing immediately left the state house.
He went all the way to Nilv, and when he entered, he saw Yang Xuan drinking.
"Your Majesty." Yang Xuan didn't expect the old man to come, so he stood up to greet him.
Liu Qing's entourage came in and took the shopkeeper out.
"Didn't you drink too much?" Liu Qing just came in.
"No." Yang Xuan pointed to the wine jar, "I just drank a little."
Liu Qing sat down and said, "Pour the wine!"
"yes!"
Liu Qingan sat and drank while Yang Xuan poured the wine. There were only slight sounds in the lobby.
After a few glasses of wine, Liu Qing asked, "What do you want?"
This question is relatively broad. It can ask about ambitions and the purpose of Yang Xuan's trip.
Yang Xuan said: "What I want is a prosperous and self-preserving peace."
"Well!" Liu Qing took a sip of the drink and frowned slightly. He obviously disliked the drink and looked at Yang Xuan with a softer look. "What do you want in this life?"
Yang Xuan almost didn't think about it, "The Tang Dynasty was prosperous."
Liu Qing stood up and looked down at him, "I will look at you to see whether you are bold in what you say or whether you practice what you say."
He turned around and saw a message posted on the wall behind the counter.
"Integrity, whose word is it?"
Liu Qing looked familiar.
"I'm a lower official."
"My handwriting is average, just practice more."
"yes."
"Also, don't write outside as much as possible."
"yes."
After Liu Qing went out, the old thief came over.
"Mingfu, Commander Liu seems to have suffered a lot."
"What's the meaning?"
“There was an official who liked to leave calligraphy outside, but was later falsely accused by someone who imitated his handwriting and forged letters.”
The old man treats me well.
Liu Qing left the reverse journey and stood outside for ten breaths before leaving.
The businessmen got the news.
"Liu Shijun went to Yang Xuan's place and drank together."
"What does it mean?"
Jin Qiao and others are trying to figure it out.
"Han Li's people are here."
A clerk came in and said, "I told you there is no need to panic when you join the army. You are just used to it."
"What are you used to?"
"I'm used to favoring Yang Xuan."
Everyone: "..."
The clerk said: "I told you to join the army. I'm just expressing my position by going against the army. As long as you don't break the law, just do it. Can I still force you to wait until you go to Taiping to do business?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amid laughter, Liu Qing returned home.
While the old wife handed him the clothes he wore at home, she muttered about what happened at home today.
"Um!"
"Um!"
From loving to argue with his wife in the past to now agreeing with everything, Liu Qing's views on the relationship between husband and wife have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
"That young man came to Lin'an again." Liu Qing sat down.
The old wife put the tea on the table with a sad expression, "Is this the young county magistrate you said looks like Erlang and has the same temper as Erlang?"
"Um!"
"If Erlang survives that serious illness, he may have already talked about marriage."
"Um!"
The old wife casually wiped the table she had just wiped, "That young man is also like Erlang, so he got your care."
She turned around and prepared to go out, but the man she had long been used to didn't come.
"What?" The old wife turned around and asked, "Isn't it inappropriate?"
"I used to think of him as Erlang, so I took care of him a little bit. But then I gradually forgot about Erlang."
"Why?" The old wife was a little angry at being betrayed.
Liu Qing said: "Other officials are like a mouse seeing a cat when they see me. He is the only one who smiles when he sees me, just like his elders."
The old wife couldn't help but choked up, "Could it be Erlang who gave birth to this person?"
"What are you talking about!" Liu Qing said dissatisfied.
After the old wife wiped away her tears, Liu Qing said: "Many times, what you do brings results. At first I was partial to him, but later he also respected me."
"Isn't he quite casual with you?"
"As a woman, respect is not based on what he says, but on what he does."
"Chenzhou is short of money and food, but I had a rule at the beginning. As long as the success is verified, money and food will be rewarded. But Yang Xuan asked for it once, and then he laughed and chatted with me for a while, waiting for me to get angry.
If you don't, just take advantage of the situation and run away, no more money or food."
"That is to say, the state subsidizes the dried meat in each county, but he never fails to do so, saying that Taiping's meat is not enough, and those children are in need of meat."
"Does he often report victory?"
"Yes. In the six counties of Chenzhou, that young man has won many battles. I am very happy!"
Liu Qing added: "It's as joyful as seeing your own child succeed."
…
On the second day, Yang Xuan got up early.
"Where's the second child?" Yang Xuan unexpectedly didn't see the second child Wang.
The old thief was washing up, and after spitting out the mouthwash, he said: "Early in the morning, a bird was calling outside the second son's door, and he chased him out."
"This is Lin'an, not Taiping, so be careful." Before Yang Xuan finished speaking, Wang Laoer rushed in, holding a few bird eggs in his hands.
"Mr. Lang, let's cook it and eat it."
The poor bird was dug out of its nest by Mr. Wang early in the morning.
After breakfast, Yang Xuan asked the shopkeeper to prepare tea.
Then he sat there by himself and wrote a letter.
The letter was written to Zhao Sanfu and Zhou Ning.
Zhao Sanfu is now in charge, and if he gets better at it, he will be the boss of the stage.
Zhou Ning still teaches in the Imperial College. In his letters, he most likes to mention the tree-lined paths in the Imperial College, the sharp-tongued An Ziyu, and the obsessive Ning Yayun who plays the piano.
Occasionally, girls would mention their feelings in letters, but only briefly and almost without trace.
After writing the letter, someone comes in to report it.
"Lang Jun, they are here."
"please come in."
Yang Xuan put the letter away and planned to hand it over to the person in charge of the post in Chenzhou later, saving them the time of going to Taiping to receive the letter.
More than ten businessmen filed in.
Yang Xuan nodded slightly and everyone saluted.
"I've seen Yang Ming's house."
"Everyone, please take a seat."
Everyone sat down.
The shopkeeper brought people to serve tea.
Then he stood by the side and prepared to wait.
The old thief shook his head and the shopkeeper resigned.
The door closes.
Yang Xuan said, "Taiping is located at the forefront and middle of Chenzhou, with obvious geographical advantages. There are many cattle and sheep in the Waxie tribe, and the fur produced every year is famous in northern Xinjiang."
This is a cliché... Wang Min glanced at Lin En.
No need to pay attention, just leave after listening...Lin quickly raised his eyebrows.
Hong Yazhi was a little disappointed, but also a little happy. Yesterday's bribery failed, which made him a little embarrassed. Today Yang Xuan is still making the same old talk, so don't blame him for refusing later.
You refuse me!
I reject you!
Very fair and reasonable.
As for official prestige, I'm very sorry, this is Lin'an, not Taiping.
He glanced at Jin Qiao, who squinted her eyes as if listening, but Hong Yazhi, who was familiar with him, knew that Jin Qiao was thinking about other things at the moment, which meant that he was distracted.
Yang Xuan seemed unaware that his words were falling on deaf ears.
“Taiping promises that the first year’s store rent will be free of charge.”
The businessmen have expressionless faces.
Everyone is here to make a lot of money, and shop rents are not considered at all.
"Second, Taiping promises to reduce taxes by 30% in the first three years."
This makes some sense, but many of these people evade taxes, so they look disapproving. Some even muttered that it was a waste of time.
"Thirdly, the Taiping Society will take the initiative to hire workers sent by merchants. However, there is one rule: workers must not be treated harshly."
That's it?
Jin Qiao raised his head and frowned, feeling that he had come in the wrong place.
"Fourth." Yang Xuan said slowly: "When businessmen report that officials are asking for bribes, they will be severely punished once verified. I know that the rules of the officialdom are dark. In one word, such people will not only be severely punished, but also expelled from Taiping.
, never allowed to come back.”
This article makes some sense, but it is a double-edged sword for these businessmen.
They are used to paying bribes to obtain official help and illegal benefits, and they are also troubled by the greed of officials.
Jin Qiao thought that she still had something to do, so she wanted to leave.
Lin En coughed dryly and raised his hand first.
Yang Xuan nodded, and Lin En said: "Thank you, Yang Ming Mansion, but I still have urgent matters at home. I ask Yang Ming Mansion to forgive me and allow me to resign."
This man's attitude is not bad at all... The status of a businessman is not high, but you can't find anything wrong with my words and deeds.
Yang Xuan was slapped in the face.
Jin Qiao looked at Yang Xuan calmly, thinking how angry this man would be.
…
"Lynn said that he will take the lead today."
Several officials gathered in Han Li's duty room, and he smiled and talked about today's arrangements.
"If someone takes the lead, Yang Xuan will naturally be shameless."
Everyone laughed.
Han Li said: "Lin En asked us to help him. If Yang Xuan takes revenge on him, we will lend a helping hand."
An official said: "As a person, you must be honest, and this will naturally help."
…
On a reverse journey.
Lin En seemed to be respectful, but actually she was sneering in her heart.
He spent a lot of money on bribes and had already opened up connections in Lin'an. From then on, business will naturally flow smoothly, and there will be other benefits. In this case, why did he go to Taiping?
He was willing to come today, firstly not to give Yang Xuan an excuse to get angry, and secondly because he wanted to express his attitude to the officials.
The risks of being the big brother are not small, but the benefits are also many.
Yang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Now that you are gone, there will be no place for you in Taiping from now on."
"I know."
"As a human being, integrity comes first, as long as you know that."
Yang Xuan nodded and Lin En went out.
He stood outside the gate of Nilv, looking at the blazing sunshine, and said comfortably: "Comfortable."
Inside, Yang Xuan continued to speak, his voice coming out.
"The last one."
"Taiping promises to set up supporting merchants for you. The furs in the Vashe Department are not well disposed of, and you will have to dispose of them again after you get them. I know that these are all disposed of within the customs."
Lin En was startled and stopped to listen.
Wang Laoer, the gatekeeper, just sneered.
"It costs a lot to transport from here to the customs. In addition, the wages of workers in the customs are relatively high. You must be suffering from this. For this reason, Taiping will organize a number of merchants to engage in the fur disposal industry to ensure that your furs can be processed in a timely manner after they are received.
Disposal, cheap disposal.”
Lin En was a fur trader. After hearing this, he couldn't help but turn around slowly.
"In the past, when you purchased cattle and sheep, you had to transport them to be slaughtered, get the skins and process them, and the meat had to be made into dried meat. In the past, these were all processed in Qianzhou. Not to mention, these cattle and sheep all the way to
How much grain and grass did Qianzhou consume? The cost was staggering."
"Just before I came out, more than twenty small businesses in Taiping had joined forces. The best butchers in the city would teach the hired workers how to better slaughter cattle and sheep, how to make dried meat...whatever you want to make,
With just one sentence, Taiping will win them all!"
Yang Xuan held the table with both hands, leaning forward slightly, with a touch of reserve in his eyes.
"Then Yang wants to ask, who wants to get out of here at this moment?"
No one moved.
They were all shocked.
They have never heard that the government would handle such matters, let alone how the government coordinates the merchants to accomplish all this.
But they know.
Today is the right time.
A warm and flattering voice came from outside the door.
"Yang Ming Mansion, this villain is Lin En! No matter how important things are at home, how can they be more important than listening to Yang Ming Mansion's teachings? Yang Ming Mansion... Yang Ming Mansion..."
