Mr. Gu has hundreds of acres of land in the countryside of Ba County and Jiangbei Hall, and has seven shops in Ba County; The Ao family is even more amazing, there are thousands of acres of land in Rongchang, known as "Ao Ban County"! Although Ji Yunfei, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, has a hard life in the capital, he also has hundreds of acres of land in his hometown.

Han Xiufeng doesn't think that being an official like others can earn money for the next ten years, eight years or even decades, and he doesn't think that he can make money now and in the future, and he thinks that Director Zhang has a certain point.

There are some risks in buying and selling side tea, and there is only land acquisition if you want to take the risk. And the land depends on the chance, Ba County and the surrounding Bishan, Jiangjin and even Jiangbei Tingshan have more land and less land, not you want to buy people will sell it.

After thinking about it, I found that I wanted Qin'er and the baby in Qin'er's belly, who were far away in my hometown, to not sit on the mountain, so I could only give the shopkeeper Yu a stake in the side tea business.

Early the next morning, Shopkeeper Yu rushed to the hall again with his second son. As soon as he entered the room, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and said that he had no intention of respecting it.

"Shopkeeper Yu, your mind will be talked about later, you don't need to worry about your business in the capital and your second son, even if my lack is made up and I have to take office, I will help you ask Master Ji to take care of them before leaving."

"Master Han, I'm relieved to have your words."

Han Xiufeng looked at his restrained and restless second son, and then asked bluntly: "Shopkeeper Yu, I want to know now what you plan to do after you go back, how much money you plan to make, and how big do you plan to make the transaction?" ”

Shopkeeper Yu didn't expect Han Xiufeng to ask this, and said with a bitter face: "I'm not afraid of Master Han's jokes, if it had been put aside twenty years ago, with the care of Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang, I would have to underwrite two or three hundred thousand catties of side tea." It's a pity that the family is in the middle of the road, and I really can't make up much capital, and I have been away from home for too long, and the business in my hometown is all deserted, and everything has to start all over again. ”

"If you have the capital and remove the expenses from the top and bottom, how much profit can this transaction have?"

"Tibetans do the best business, they don't bargain, and most of them barter, and they bring back the wool, skins, medicinal herbs and other goods they have exchanged for to the mainland, and all the expenses are shaved out, and there are four or five cents of profit to go back and forth."

There are four or five cents of profit, which is a lot!

Han Xiufeng weighed it again, gritted his teeth and took out a stack of silver tickets from under the account book, together with the one hundred taels that Shopkeeper Yu's father and son had just sent, and put it in front of their father and son: "Shopkeeper Yu, the capital is not enough, I have a thousand taels here, not to lend you turnover, but to buy shares." If you lose, you will lose, and what if you earn dividends according to your share capital? ”

Shopkeeper Yu froze, unable to believe that this was true.

Han Xiufeng smiled, and continued: "The opportunity is rare, I can finally talk to Lord Wu, this business will naturally be bigger, not only I want to buy shares, but Director Zhang of the Provincial Pavilion also plans to buy shares." My family is poor, and I can only get so much. Curator Zhang is different, he has a lot of money, if you agree, he will earn 5,000 taels if he says the least. ”

"Master Han, you're not kidding, are you?"

"It's early in the morning, there are so many things to do, how can I have time to joke with you."

"You and Director Zhang trust me so much?"

"If you can't believe me, can I tell you this?"

Shopkeeper Yu confirmed that Han Xiufeng was not joking, not full of emotion but ecstatic, got up and arched his hand: "Master Han, I can't hide it, I'm worried about how much money I can raise, you and Director Zhang trust me so much, I will definitely do this business well after I go back." Please put a hundred hearts in the two of you, and put the money here with me, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less, and you will never lose! ”

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield, no one dares to fight this guarantee ticket whether it is to lose or to earn, since Director Zhang and I are determined to buy shares, we are ready to lose points." Han Xiufeng beckoned him to sit down, and continued: "I remember mentioning to you before that my father-in-law was on an errand in the Chongqing Mansion. I'll write a letter later, and you can help me bring it to my father-in-law. I don't dare to say anything about other places, but in the fourteen prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Prefecture, he will definitely try his best to make it easier for you. ”

"Your father-in-law is Duan Jingcheng of the Chongqing Mansion Yabingfang, I know this. With the help of a man, I can send to Chongqing to collect tea. ”

"My father-in-law can only make it convenient for you, Director Zhang's door is wider than mine, he has been a curator for so many years, and there is no official master from our Sichuan that he doesn't recognize. After becoming a shareholder, he will ask his cousin to go back to his hometown with you, not because he is worried that you will run away with the money, but because he wants his cousin to help you dredge up the relationship between the states and counties. ”

"Great, Master Han, with your and Director Zhang's great help, it would be unreasonable if this deal was lost!"

"We can only help from the side, you are the expert in this tea business, and whether this business can be done depends on the care of Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang. Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang are leaving tomorrow, and the relationship is barely on now, but it is not strong enough, and you should know what to do along the way. ”

"I know, Master Han, don't worry, I will definitely serve you well along the way."

Han Xiufeng nodded slightly, and then said: "Then when you are about to arrive in Ba County, you ask your eldest son to hire a fast boat and go to Ba County to find my father-in-law in front of you. Later, you will go to the provincial pavilion to find Director Zhang, and Director Zhang will definitely explain. In short, we will do our best to help you secure this relationship with Master Wu and Mr. Zhang. ”

Why can the business of Shanxi merchants be so big, isn't it because they will befriend the officials!

Shopkeeper Yu didn't expect him to have such a day, and he was so excited that he was almost speechless.

Han Xiufeng told him everything, wrote a letter to his father-in-law and Master Gu in front of him, and wrote a contract for two shares, and then sent their father and son to the provincial pavilion.

Pan Er found a Shandong man who could repair old things, and also found an old carpenter who could do fine work through the Shandong people, and rushed to the newly rented yard but was stopped by He Heng's cousin and did not let him see Han Xiufeng, so he could only wait in the yard stupidly.

Finally waited for Han Xiufeng to finish his business, sent away the Yu family father and son, and was about to introduce the two people he found, Han Xiufeng actually asked: "Changsheng, the second master seems to have said before he left that he recognized which imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital, that imperial doctor seems to have been to our hall, do you remember which imperial doctor's surname is and what it is called, and where does the family live?" ”

Pan Erleng was stunned and muttered: "That imperial doctor's surname is Chen, I don't know what his name is, and I don't know where he lives, but some people do." ”

"Who?"

"Qian Junchen."

"Qian Junchen went to Wuchang early, he knows what it is for."

Thinking of the preparations that Fei Er Ye would make before the test, Pan Er couldn't help but smile and said, "Qian Junchen knows that it's useless, but it's not difficult to inquire." Because Imperial Physician Chen also went to the Gongyuan during the examination, he went in with Qian Junchen, and he didn't come out until the second master finished the exam, and he went to help the examiners and candidates see a doctor. ”

"Going to the doctor is also a simple errand, and it is not difficult to inquire."

"Why are you asking about this, fourth brother, is anyone sick?"

Han Xiufeng looked at the two strangers standing behind him and said with a smile: "No one is sick, I want to introduce the shopkeeper to Imperial Doctor Chen." If Imperial Physician Chen can buy some medicine from the shopkeeper, even if it is only a little, then his family has also supplied medicine to the palace, this is a golden signboard, and the business will be better in the future. ”
