45 On the afternoon of three days ago, Xu Wa'er found him and told him the news: Eighteen Arhats were infighting, and now only the fourth, ninth and fourteenth were killed. The rest of the people were divided into three groups and began to grab the territory, mainly to grab the ownership of the two businesses of gambling houses and dart games. After hearing this, Zhou Dao breathed a long sigh of relief, and put down a big stone in his heart, "No one cares how Bai Shoucheng died, he is just a dead man, it doesn't matter anymore." He immediately decided to move to the county seat with Feng Yi and Zhang Hanwa.

In the southeast corner of the county, there is a house with two entrances in front and back, not big or small, the courtyard door is newly painted, this is the house of the county lieutenant Fang Xu, at this moment Zhou Daozheng and Fang Xu are drinking tea in the hall. "I heard that Zhou Gongzi recently opened a new store and is very busy, why do you have the leisure to come to me for tea today?" Fang Xu said with a smile. "Don't hide it from your lordship, I did have something to discuss with my lord when I came here today." "Oh? What's the matter. "Bai Ye mentioned it to me before, saying that Lord Fang, you are interested in the grain business, I don't know if there is such a thing?" "Well, what if there is? What if not? "If there is none, forget it, if there is, I wonder if the adults would like to participate in the small shares?" "Well, let's hear about it." Fang Xu remained silent. "I don't mean anything else, I just want the adults to take care of me more on weekdays, and I would like to show my heart to the adults with Hesheng Yicheng." "Nothing else?" Fang Xu's face was indifferent, "Yicheng, there is no need." Seeking peace for the people of this county is our duty as a parent official, and I have never cared about shares or anything, not to mention that I am not interested in the grain business or anything. I understand Zhou Gongzi's kindness, so I don't need to say much about these things. Zhou Dao arched his hand and said, "Lord Fang's words are serious, I haven't finished saying something just now." If you don't say code words in front of the Ming people, what kind of identity is an adult? So I don't hide and go around in front of adults, but I have a saying that I always go straight, which is exactly the respect for adults! Zhou Dao's words made Fang Xu's face soften slightly.

"Actually, before I opened the store, people came to me." Seeing that Fang Xu didn't ask, Zhou Dao continued, "It's Mr. Xu." Speaking of this, Zhou Dao felt that Fang Xu subconsciously leaned forward a little. Let's put it this way, there are two percent of the shares in our store that are the county in the adult, how many percent do you think your shares should be accounted for? It's not too big for adults, is it? Fang Xu didn't speak, just swallowed in his throat. Zhou Dao continued, "If you believe what I said, you will know it after a while, and as long as you have the heart, you can see the clues." In addition, in addition to Lord Yu, there are other people who have also participated in the middle, so there is not much else to say. ”

After a pause, Zhou Dao added, "This Hesheng has only opened, and it has been said that there will be no dividends in the first year, but for Lord Yu, regardless of the profit or loss, the minimum is guaranteed to be three hundred times a year, and if you can win the purchase and sale of military rations, the income will be counted separately." I think you can also refer to this example, regardless of profit or loss, there is a minimum of 150 yuan per year, and you can get it quarterly. "Oh?" Fang Xu was a little moved when he heard this: "What does Gongzi Zhou need me to do?" "I don't dare to work for adults, but after the opening of the new store, it is inevitable that some small things will cause trouble, and then I will ask adults to help me." "You mean the surplus? How many other grain stores are there? Hehe, Li Xiancheng didn't buy a share, right? "Your Excellency is really discerning. Hey. Zhou Dao followed with a handful of firewood, "I heard that the adults have some ways to do it in the state city, if the adults can pave this road and protect the peace of the trading in our state city, I think it is still in accordance with the adult's example, all the large and lucrative transactions introduced by the adults will be half of the profits." In addition, I think it is more appropriate for adults to own half of the shares, what do you think? ”

Fang Xu had already moved, and asked after a while, "If I agree, is Xu Wei willing to do it?" "This is for me to convince him, and besides, what I take out is my share after all, as the old saying goes, there is great power in numbers, isn't it?" "Good! Multiple friends, multiple paths. The virtuous brother is really the material for trading. In this case, you can rest assured that you will do business, whoever dares to come to the door to cause trouble, I will not spare him, I will take care of the ground in this county! As for the buying and selling of the state city, I will talk about it in detail at that time. ”

"This guy is a thief, and he didn't give a clear answer to the matter of the state city, which means that the conditions have to be discussed again. It was vague that one and a half of the shares and the guarantee of 225 yuan were included in the bag first. Zhou Dao thought, but said in his mouth, "In fact, I don't dare to bother adults with daily affairs, adults only need to grasp the general direction, and arrange specific things for one person on weekdays." Fang Xu snorted, I don't know if it's okay. Zhou Dao continued, "At the beginning of the arson case of the mill house, I had some dealings with that Pan Ye, and this person still has a hand in the mischievous people below. Can the adults transfer him back to the county seat, so that the adults don't have to worry about things? "Pan Hu? He doesn't need to deal with a little ruffian, he has to be human. "Fang Xu obviously doesn't care much about Pan Ye." On that day, the fugitive was arrested in the siege of the villagers, and I saw that he was quite bold, and I hope that the adults will complete this matter. Saying that, Zhou Dao gave Fang Xu a salute.

Fang Xu sat down, he looked at Zhou Dao without smiling, and nodded with his hand, "Are you waiting for me here?" Okay, the first cooperation, for your sake, I agreed. But you tell Pan Hu not to let me see his stinky face, be humble and orderly, and ask him to be careful. "Hehe, Lord Fang, you have a lot of adults, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as the people below. I've heard of him as well, and now it seems that he does have a bad temper, and I have the opportunity to enlighten him more. This kind of person does have some real skills, that is, he thinks very highly of himself, and adults often beat and beat for his good! Hehe, here I will thank you first. ”

"Brother Zhou Xian, you are very good at talking, but at most I can only make them dare not cause trouble or avoid punishment if they cause trouble. But how to do business depends on real skills, and I believe that you have real skills. Fang Xu said solemnly to Zhou Dao, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Zhou Dao took Feng Yi out of Fang Xu's house, and then walked to the south gate and returned to the grain store. When he was halfway there, he passed by an alley, and when he waited inside for a while and saw that no one was coming, he went out from the other end of the alley and went to Xu Wei.

"How?" After sitting down, without waiting for the tea to be served, Xu Wei asked. "Alright, give him half of it." "You're too careful, too, but there's nothing wrong with being careful." "I think it's better to be safe." Zhou Dao's words seemed to be talking to himself. He had discussed with Xu Wei before, and felt that he still had to pull Fang Xu over, at least he couldn't be pulled away by Li Hui to join forces to deal with him. Although he preliminarily recognized Lord Yu as a backer, this Ziyang County is not a hall of Lord Yu's words, and the official system of the Song Dynasty paid attention to the division of affairs and powers. Li Hui is the county leader, if Fang Xu also stands on the opposite side of his thoughtfulness, then once he starts, he will be greatly restrained, and Pan Ye's role will also be offset, after all, Fang Xu is the number one person in charge of criminal cases in this county, and he is also Pan Ye's top boss! So Zhou Dao must win him over, at least he can't help Li Hui deal with him. In his opinion, all of this is to lay the foundation, and only when the foundation is stable can he make a heavy punch.
