Yang Jingyuan sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Anyone who wants to rebel will all hide their traces, for fear that others will know. But Liu Pei did the opposite, recruiting families and collecting displaced people. So I think the way he looks is more like a kind of intimidation to the outside world. Right! It's intimidation! ”

Yang Jingzhen frowned, and said with great interest: "How can this intimidation be explained?" ”

Yang Jingyuan smiled slightly and said: "That Liu Pei is an overseas immigrant from the former Song Dynasty according to legend, and from the perspective of this person's behavior, sitting and lying down, there are many differences between the characters in our dynasty, so I think this is true." He also said that it should be true that some relatives have settled overseas. Otherwise, he would not have been able to explain the output of so many goods. So it can be concluded that what he said is true! It's just that those of his clan are all living in seclusion overseas, and he is the only one who comes to our court alone, and he is uneasy in his heart. But the land overseas is barren. If you want to survive, you must communicate with the mainland. That's why he was sent to us to gain a foothold, and then he sold his specialties in exchange for money and food. And the goods sold by Liu Pei will inevitably cause others to covet them, so it is also appropriate for Liu Pei to want to have some self-preservation. ”

Yang Jingfa's brows completely relaxed when he heard this! said: "What you say makes sense. His goods are really good! I've been using it for the past few days. In particular, the soap is very refreshing for washing hands and faces. By the way, when you leave, go to your sister-in-law's place, and she will also prepare one for you, so you can go back and try it. ”

Yang Jingyuan smiled and said, "Then thank you cousin for your kindness!" ”

Yang Jingfa patted the armrest of the chair and said: "There is such a team under my command that does not lose to Qi Shuai, if he really makes any trouble, I am afraid that I will be implicated!" I've been lamenting all night these days, and I'm a lot relieved when you say that! ”

Yang Jingyuan leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Cousin, didn't a few clansmen come to your hometown in the countryside a few days ago. I've seen two of the boys in the third room. They all practice family martial arts. Although he is not skilled in arching horses, he can also deal with one or two people. And they just arrived in Jimo, and they are still very raw. It's better to send them to Liu Pei to be a housekeeper. Liu Pei didn't have to say anything to his subordinates! Those three boys are considered to be safe when they go. If it is reused in the future, it can be regarded as having a future. There is another one, if there is any trouble with Liu Pei, their brothers can also give us a breath in advance. “

Yang Jingfa was overjoyed when he heard this, clapped his hands and said, "Good idea!" I'll arrange it later. You've got a great idea! Anyway, you're tired after a few busy days. Let's get some rest early. In the evening, let's have a good drink and discuss it carefully. Yang Jingyuan gave Yang Jingfa a salute and got up and went out.

Besides, it was late after Liu Pei arrived in Jinan City, so he rested in the inn for one night. On the second day, Liu Pei did not rush to talk to Hua Shufeng, but first walked around Jinan City for two days to determine his thoughts. Then I made an appointment with Hua Shufeng to go to the restaurant for dinner.

After the two met in the private room of the restaurant, they naturally said goodbye first. After Hua Shufeng congratulated Liu Pei on his promotion, he naturally talked about business. Hua Shufeng said proudly: "Now our goods sales have been stable. We have more than a dozen stores in various counties in Shandong, and each store has a good business, and even sells a lot of other goods, which are all additional benefits brought by Lord Liu's goods! Speaking of which, it's all the credit of Lord Liu! ”

Liu Pei smiled and said, "I don't have any credit!" I'm just delivering it, and if I want to sell it, I have to look at the means of the flower shopkeeper! ”

Hua Shufeng laughed and said: "No matter how much I have the means, I have to have good goods, and others are willing to buy them!" Speaking of which, I'm glad you arrived in Jinan, otherwise I would have visited you in a few days! ”

"Oh?" Liu Pei raised his head and said, "Is there something that can't be done?" ”

Hua Shufeng shook his head and said, "Where will there be something!" It's a good thing! After our goods were sold in Shandong, they were discovered by many foreign businessmen. Now many people are asking me for the source of goods, and I have also sold some goods in small batches for them to try. The feedback is very good, and I want to buy in large quantities. I just don't know what Lord Liu means? ”

Of course, this is a good thing for Liu Pei! He still has a large amount of goods in his warehouse. Anyway, these goods are for the high-end people of Daming to enjoy, and the volume is not too much, so they are naturally not afraid of the problem of poor supply. Liu Pei immediately said: "Don't worry, I have already told my relatives to increase the supply of goods." We will never delay our big event of making money! ”

Hua Shufeng was refreshed when he heard this news, and he had another drink with Liu Pei at the moment! The conversation between the two became more and more enthusiastic. As the conversation deepened, the two began to call each other brothers, and Liu Pei gradually turned the topic to Hua Shufeng. When the time was almost over, Liu Pei asked, "I don't know how much the prefect has in Brother Hua's business?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this Hua Shufeng, he sighed and said, "This business was originally mine. It's just that in order to ask for shelter, I let half of the people out. However, in the past few days, there has been news that the prefect is going to be transferred, and I am worried about how to find people for shelter in the future! And after so many years, the business has come to an end, and no matter how hard you try, you can't expand. I can only find a way to maintain it in the future! ”

Liu Pei was happy when he heard this! As soon as he said that he wanted to climb the wall, Hua Shufeng sent a ladder over. So Liu Pei said: "Brother Hua, I have a good idea here, I can make the business ten times bigger and a hundred times bigger, and I don't have to worry about the government's exploitation!" ”

Hua Shufeng himself is a businessman, how can a businessman not be profitable! As soon as I heard that I could make the business ten times bigger and a hundred times bigger, and I didn't have to worry about the government's exploitation too much, Hua Shufeng's eyes lit up! He said eagerly: "I don't know what the virtuous brother can do?" Don't hesitate to teach! Foolish brother will be rewarded! ”

Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention the good retribution." It's just that if my brother wants to use my idea, he has to promise me one thing! ”

Hua Shufeng immediately calmed down a lot when he heard this, and said, "I don't know what the conditions are for the virtuous brother? Let's hear about it. ”

Liu Pei put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "This requirement is that you do it with me, buy and sell you and I shares, I take the lion's share, and you will run it." And you have to help me with some chores from time to time. ”

Hua Shufeng was silent when he heard this. Liu Pei knew that he was hesitating in his heart. So Liu Pei didn't urge him and began to eat by himself.
