National affairs are not something that Lin Yang can worry about. Although he felt that there must be some secrets, he did not think too much about it. Now Gao Ren, Huo Long, and Huo Hu all live in their own homes. According to etiquette, it should be
Take the three of them to Jiangyang City to show their friendship as landlords.
But now that I had just returned home, and my mother was still on the sick bed, I really didn't have much time to go out. I immediately informed Gao Ren of my difficulties.
Gao Ren said cheerfully: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? Of course you have to take good care of Mrs. Lin at this time. You don't have to worry about Lao Gao." Then he whispered in his ear: "To be honest, Lao Gao still has to take care of Mrs. Lin."
I have to thank Brother Lin for that..."
Lin Yang asked doubtfully: "What does Brother Gao appreciate me for, and what have I not done?"
"Brother Lin, you don't know." Gao Ren said with a bitter face: "The past few days with Brother Lin have been the most relaxing days for me, Lao Gao. With you by my side, those two little ancestors are rare and honest.
"Lao Gao, I haven't encountered days like this in several years!"
Lin Yang smiled hoarsely, so that's what happened! It seems that those two little guys have made this tall brother suffer a lot.
"Brother Gao, if that's the case, let's relax for a while. These two little guys are currently focused on learning magic. I think they will have a few more days of excitement."
Gao Ren raised his hands and said happily: "Brother Lin, I think you will give me some magic tricks later, so that I can use them no matter how naughty these two little ancestors are in the future."
"No problem." Lin Yang smiled cheerfully.
At this time, a beautiful figure walked in. Lin Yang saw that it was Xiaoyi and hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoyi, come here, big brother will introduce you to a friend."
Le Xiaoyi still had a blush on her face, her eyes were evasive and she didn't dare to look at Lin Yang. She thought it was because of the passionate kiss between the two just now, and her shyness hadn't dissipated yet. She walked over with a light step.
When Lin Yang saw her shy and charming appearance, he couldn't help but feel trembling in his heart again, and said: "Xiao Yi, this is an elder brother I have met. From now on, you can just call me Brother Gao." Then he turned to Gao Ren.
Introducing Le Xiaoyi.
After hearing this, Le Xiaoyi gently faced Gao Ren and called in a low voice: "Hello, Brother Gao."
Gao Ren hurriedly held up his hands and said, "Hello, Miss Xiaoyi." He looked at Lin Yang with envy, thinking that Brother Lin is really lucky. Miss Yan is already pretty enough, but he didn't expect that there is a Yi who is not inferior to him at home.
sister!
"Brother, I will tell the kitchen to prepare more good wine and food to help eldest brother and eldest brother Gao wash away their dust." Le Xiaoyi said crisply.
Lin Yang looked at Le Xiaoyi's red lips and said with a smile: "Well, although I just ate the most delicious thing in the world, I'm not full yet. Xiaoyi, please tell the kitchen to prepare it."
Le Xiaoyi saw that he kept staring at her red lips and said such words. How come she didn't know what the most delicious thing in the world he just said was. Her heart beat wildly, for fear that Gao Ren on the side would see something. Qiao Yi
Lin Yang's face turned red again, and he turned pale with timidity and shame. He turned around and ran away in panic.
Lin Yang chuckled, thinking that he would taste my Xiaoyi's fragrant lips again tonight...
Gao Ren asked suspiciously: "Brother Lin, what happened to Miss Xiaoyi just now? Why did her face suddenly change?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Yang laughed and excused himself.
After letting Gao Renhaosheng take a rest, Lin Yang went out. Now that his mother is sick and no one is taking care of the family business, he doesn't know what's going on now. As the young master, he has to take a look.
Arrange for people to call all the shopkeepers of the Lin family's shops, and then listen to them report one by one on whether anything has happened during this period.
Lin Yang suppressed Zhang Long at once, which no one in Jiangyang City's chamber of commerce dared to look down upon, and of course they would not give the Lin family's shoes any more excuses.
Because of Xue Qianshan's relationship, Yanshan had no intention of suppressing the Lin family even though Zhang Long was expelled from Jiangyang City in the end. Moreover, Fu Yan was taking care of him in many ways, so nothing happened and the business was booming.
At this time, one of the shopkeepers suddenly said: "Master, in a few days it will be the annual Prayer Festival. Every store has to chip in. I wonder how much our Lin's store will chip in this time?"
The Blessing Festival is a unique folk festival in Shangzhou. It is an important festival to pray to God for good luck, abundant wealth, and a safe family. During this festival, businesses in various towns in Shangzhou will pool money together to hold a festival celebration.
Of course Lin Yang also knew about this festival and asked, "Oh, that's it. How much did our Lin family collect in the past?"
The shopkeeper said: "It turns out that our Lin family, on the occasion of the Prayer Festival, all had five thousand taels of money."
"Five thousand is too little." Lin Yang chuckled and said, "This time we will pay 20,000 taels of silver."
The shopkeepers didn't expect that Lin Yang would ask for 20,000 taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth. They all took a breath of cold air. You must know that a family of four usually has one hundred taels of silver, which can cover a year's expenses. But when this young boss opened his mouth, he said:
Twenty thousand taels, isn’t this a bit too much?
The shopkeepers wanted to say something but didn't dare, and they were all in a dilemma for a while.
Lin Yang couldn't tell what they were thinking. At the same time, he also knew that the two thousand taels of silver were indeed a lot of money. But what he was most in need of right now was money, not to mention those mountains of chalcedony and the ice-flamed land.
I don’t know the name of what I got from Hai, but it must be extremely precious and rare. The Jingyuan Dan that Xue Qianshan refined and gave to me is a huge fortune.
Now it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Yang is as rich as the country. He doesn't care about these small money at all, not to mention that he has other purposes. He said grandly: "Okay, don't worry anymore, this matter is settled. But
There is one thing that I must declare, and that is that the name of my Lin family store should be used throughout the entire festival."
These shopkeepers were all veterans who had been in business for many years. When they heard Lin Yang’s last words, they suddenly understood a little bit and asked in unison: “Young master, what you want is to pass on the name of our Lin family shop through the Blessing Festival.”
All over Jiangyang City?"
Lin Yang chuckled and said: "Of course it will spread throughout Jiangyang City, otherwise what would I do with so much money? Don't worry, the money will be earned back. Don't underestimate the effect of advertising."
"Advertisement?" These shopkeepers were a little confused about this term.
Lin Yang explained: "Advertisement, it means spreading it widely. You will understand this gradually."
Lin Yang was a master thief in his previous life and had little knowledge of business, but he also knew the importance of advertising, so he came up with this trick in his heart.
Of course, this world also has promotion methods that are similar to advertising. That is, when someone wants to sell or auction something valuable, in order to sell it for a good price, they will hand it over to a specialized firm. These firms will send out invitations.
Send the post to various local celebrities and wealthy people for an auction.
But this method is very limited, that is, the things being auctioned must be valuable and precious, and the people facing them must also be powerful people.
The shopkeepers gradually understood the meaning of the advertisement, but still felt that the money was spent a bit too much, but seeing that Lin Yang seemed to have made up his mind, they did not say anything.
Seeing that nothing happened, Lin Yang waved his hand and told the shopkeepers to go about their business, but at this time, one person did not leave. He asked curiously: "Does shopkeeper Guo have anything else to do?"
He recognized this person as the shopkeeper who had just taken over Zhang Long's store. He was cautious and had the trust of the Lin family.
I heard Shopkeeper Guo look a little uncomfortable and say: "Master, there is something that I wanted to report to Mrs. Lin originally, but Mrs. Lin is ill and Master, you are not here either. So I have postponed it until now."
Lin Yang asked strangely: "What makes shopkeeper Guo so cautious? Do you want to come and listen?"
Shopkeeper Guo solemnly said: "Master, a few days ago, the clerk accidentally discovered an extremely hidden secret door in the store. I led people into the secret door, only to find that there was a tunnel inside the secret door. Going further inside is
A huge basement filled with thousands of sets of weapons and armor!"
"Weapons and armor?" Lin Yang's face darkened and he said, "Shopkeeper Guo, did you say there are thousands of sets of weapons and armor in the basement?"
Shopkeeper Guo nodded and said, "They are all weapons and armors of excellent quality."
Lin Yang was also shocked. You must know that any weapons and armor in this army are supervised by a special supervision office, and private individuals will never be allowed to trade with each other among the people. This is a prohibited thing. If the government knows about it, it will be lost.
The brain is also a matter of words.
But now these prohibited items were found in Zhang Long's shop. This matter is a big or small matter. Did Zhang Long leave them behind on purpose so that he could turn around and rake them up, falsely accusing the Lin family of trying to smuggle weapons?
This Jiangyang City is not far from the Dayun Empire. If this charge is carried out, it will be a charge of surrendering to the enemy and treason!
But when Lin Yang thought about it again, he felt that something was wrong. If it was really Zhang Long who deliberately planned to frame the Lin family, then why had there been no action for such a long time?
"Who else knows about Shopkeeper Guo?" Lin Yang asked solemnly.
Shopkeeper Guo said quickly: "I know about this matter. It is of great importance. Except for me and a few trustworthy clerks, I have not mentioned it to anyone. Those clerks will not mention it to others."
.”
Lin Yang nodded and said: "Well, shopkeeper Guo has done a good job on this matter. I already know it. Okay, you can go down first. I will deal with it later."
After watching Shopkeeper Guo leave, Lin Yang fell into deep thought again. If these weapons were not to frame the Lin family, then why would Zhang Long get so many contraband items? Did he want to smuggle these items into Dayun? If he wanted to smuggle them, then
Are these thousands of sets of weapons and armor too few?
Suddenly he remembered that Zhang Long’s store was not the only store that had been taken over, but there were several other stores that had also been taken over. Lin Yang suddenly had a bold idea, could there be secret doors in Zhang Long’s other stores?
Are prohibited items stored in the warehouse?
