Chapter 35: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows
Wuyi County Ya is in Xicheng, compared with other houses in this small city, the county government is particularly dilapidated, the original vermilion paint on the gate has long been mottled, a large piece of it has fallen off, the beast on the mast is even broken, there is no head directly, but it still stands there, the whole look, like a broken house.
"Brother Yang, it's time to repair here. You are also pampered in Yizhou City, and you are used to living here?" A middle-aged man in his early thirties, dressed in moon-white clothes, sat at the table, closed the lid of the tea bowl in his hand with a ding, and gently placed it on the table.
"Since you have a foreign errand, you naturally have to be prepared to endure hardships, but Wuyi is good. Brother Wang Xian, have you ever seen someone who repaired his own house or a mansion?" The person sitting opposite was a little older, with a slightly cloudy face, a neat beard on the upper lip, and meticulously combed hair.
The man in white chuckled: "I've seen it, Cao Thorn History, Li Jiedu, when he took office, he was a big construction project, and every three or five years, he would always repair it again!"
"Brother Xian made fun of me, can I compare with Li Jiedu's envoy and Cao Tingshi? They all know that they will stay in this position for a long, long time, and even their sons and grandchildren will stay in that position, and they will naturally build the house comfortably. And me, who knows how long I can stay here, the iron-clad official of the government." The middle-aged man pointed to the man in white opposite and smiled.
These two people, the middle-aged man in white and rich, are Wang Mingyi, the second son of Wang Wenshu, who is not driving in Yizhou, and the slightly older one sitting opposite him is the current Wuyi County Ling Yang Kai.
"So soon after taking office, you want to make a big profit?" Wang Mingyi looked at Yang Kai and smiled meaningfully.
"Isn't it for money to be an official for thousands of miles? Do you think I have anything else on my mind? I'm thirty-five years old, but I've read the books of the sages all these years, but I can't do anything to scrape the ground, so I can only look at the profiteers. Unexpectedly, someone actually sent it to the door." Yang Kai picked up the tea bowl reservedly and took a sip of tea.
Wang Mingyi laughed: "I'm also a profiteer."
"Are you?"
"Am I not?"
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"No wonder you still think of me this time, to be honest, I was really shocked when I saw the information you sent about this Yixingtang, I couldn't imagine that there was such a big fish hidden in the little Wuyi. It was really unexpected." Wang Mingyi is obviously very interested in this." This Yixingtang is very smart, he didn't spread it in the direction of Yizhou, if this was the case, I would have already taken aim at it, and it would be your turn."
"It is precisely because of this that I want you to take a good look at the background of this Yixingtang! It's amazing to be able to do this, and I'm worried that there is someone behind him." Yang Kai said with a straight face: "If this Yixingtang is ordinary, I will make a quick buck, but now I find out that he is actually a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and it will be a pity to destroy it like this, but I really don't have any experience in business, so I thought of you."
With a snap, Wang Mingyi clasped his hands together, "What you said is to the point, although there is a lot of floating wealth in this Yixingtang, I really haven't seen it in my eyes, but the sales channels they have spread out over there are really good things, if they are ruined, it will be a pity."
"Although I don't know how to do business, I can still see this, if this channel falls into your hands, I think we will be rich in the future, and we will make money every day." Yang Kai said with a little excitement.
"I'm two components, you are one component, what kind of tiger slaughtering component, are you satisfied with this distribution ratio?" Wang Mingyi laughed.
"That Cheng Wei is incompetent, but the slaughtering tiger in your mouth is a character, and the sales channels of Yixingtang are all in his hands, so ah, give him a component and pull him over first, that's a must, as for the future, then let's talk about it, with your ability, within two or three years, there is no way to replace him? As for Cheng Wei, ha, seeing that he provided us with this financial road, gave him a share, and let him eat dividends for nothing, it was already a big discount for him."
"In this case, wouldn't Cheng Wei feel suffocated?"
"If one of the people is unwilling, then it is a toast and not eat and drink. There are a lot of thieves in Daqingshan, and the government has repeatedly banned them, so it is clear that they should be informed and provide them with supplies, and people like Yixingtang have their own cargo channels and caravans, who else can there be besides them?"
Looking at Yang Kai, Wang Mingyi shook his head and said, "The official word has two mouths, and it really is all based on one mouth!"
"Brother Wang Xian, don't forget, your father, uncle, and brother are all officials." Yang Kai chuckled.
"Then it's settled." Wang Mingyi said: "Cheng Wei has one point, Tu Hu has one point, and the remaining eight points, I have six and you two, if Cheng Wei doesn't know each other, his share will belong to you, because you need to do it to pick him up, as for that Tu Hu, after I master the entire Yixing Hall, how about we divide it equally?"
"No problem." Yang Kai nodded.
Between the two talking and laughing, they decided on the matter of Yixingtang, poor Cheng Wei, who was rushing here in a hurry, never dreamed that he had spent his old strength to promote this matter, but in the end he could only get one percent of the shares, which was two percent less than before? If he is a little dissatisfied, not only will he not even be able to get this success, but he will also worry about his life.
If he could hear the conversation between the two, he would have regretted it. But at this time, he was already carried away by the happy future, and he was happily rushing to the county office, but he didn't know that every step he took was taking one more step towards the ghost gate.
As for the real boss of Yixingtang, the fourteen-year-old boy Li Ze, the two didn't think about it at all, Yang Kai found out that there was only this orphan and widow on Zhuangzi, and Wang Mingyi was sure that there was no one behind this pair of mothers and sons. It's just a piece of meat in someone else's mouth.
"Brother Wang Xian, you said that Gao Gong is not a good stubble, he has been a county magistrate in Wuyi for ten years, why didn't he use this brain?" Yang Kai was a little puzzled, "That guy would rather scrape the ground and ruin his reputation than touch Yixingtang, there is really something strange here!"
"Maybe they sent money behind their backs, maybe he had something to do with the hostess? Brother Yang hasn't seen this family?"
Yang Kai shook his head.
"Gao Gong has been the commander of Wuyi County for ten years, and I don't know what way to go, but I went directly to Zhenzhou Jiedu Mansion to serve, so that this position was vacated, and Brother Yang could make up for it, or this is God giving us such assets! Speaking of which, my life has been very difficult in the past year, my uncle needs to expand the army, needs to reorganize the armament, needs more and more money, and there is no new way, I am almost unable to support it."
"Straighten out the armament, is this going to war?" Yang Kai's face changed slightly.
"Who knows? Anyway, this world is weird. The meaning from Li Gong in Zhenzhou. So everyone is quietly preparing. But this army is a gold-swallowing beast!" Wang Mingyi sighed.
"Your eldest brother is in Zhenzhou, and he is highly trusted by Major General Li, so there is no definite news?"
"Nope. This time, the mouth of the Jiedu envoy in the palace is very tight, or the only one who really knows the truth is the Jiedu envoy and the major general." Wang Mingyidao.
