One hundred taels of gold is not much for General Lin, but it is not to the point of ignorance, with this one hundred taels of gold, no matter who the other party is, he is interested in chatting a few words, if there are more gifts, it will be better.

However, in order to prevent the other party from being an assassin, General Lin did not get too close to Wang Youtian, and the personal guards were always by his side, so he had time to stop any accidents, and Wang Youtian had been searched before meeting General Lin, and he had no weapons on his body.

"General Lin, my lord is friends with Lord Liu XX and Lord Wu X, Guangdong was captured by thieves, my lord can't get out of the thieves' den, I hope the imperial army will exterminate the thieves as soon as possible." Wang Youtian said respectfully.

"Lord Liu XX, Lord Wu X, I know, rest assured, Li Shuai has trained millions of troops, and he will definitely be able to exterminate the thieves in one battle." General Lin replied with a smile.

Wang Youtian mentioned Lord Liu XX and Lord Wu X, one of these two is a general official of Hu, and the other is a big official in the capital, which is more famous, General Lin knows it, and General Lin also knows Wang Youtian's intention to mention these two people, indicating that "his own people", don't arrest them as spies, as for the real intention of Wang Youtian to come here, General Lin can't guess for the time being.

Wang Youtian didn't let General Lin wait long, and soon said what he wanted, simply put, he was doing business in the People's Army-ruled area and the Ming Dynasty-ruled area, hoping that General Lin would give him convenience, and Liang Xin's side would regularly honor General Lin.

When General Lin heard this, he felt that his opportunity to make money had arrived, a hundred taels of gold was not much for General Lin, but General Lin had been short of money, he was a general, he didn't have much, and there was a team of guards to support, so he could only deduct a little of the salary of the corporaries, and General Lin didn't dare to deduct too much, it was easy to have problems if he deducted too much, he was afraid of death, and he had to rely on the corporals to fight.

When Wang Youtian took out the glass mirror as a commodity, General Lin's eyes lit up, isn't this a glass mirror, he has seen that a palm-sized glass mirror costs hundreds of taels of silver, and he doesn't have a glass mirror.

The commodity is a glass mirror, General Lin immediately raised this business by several levels, it will definitely be a big business to make money, in his mind, General Lin plans to find a way to make more money in this business, the best way is to participate in shares, and the money earned from this business will have its own part, not the so-called filial piety.

Wang Youtian stayed in Linwu County for several days, General Lin asked to participate in the glass business, Wang Youtian agreed on behalf of Liang Xin, but the specific number of shares is not Wang Youtian can decide, Wang Youtian took out three hundred taels of gold, plus the previous one hundred taels of gold, a total of four hundred taels of gold, as General Lin's "up and down" funds.

Wang Youtian knew that most of the four hundred taels of gold would fall into the hands of General Lin, but he had no way to say anything, there were too few Ming generals like General Lin who were easy to cooperate.

If Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan's plan to open up a trade route is blocked, they will have to take General Lin's trade route, General Lin is only a point on the trade route, but it is a very important point, once this point is replaced, there will be big trouble.

After reaching a cooperation with General Lin, Wang Youtian and his entourage left Linwu County and continued northward, preparing to contact the big man and find a businessman to cooperate with through the big man.

Liang Xin's glass business path gradually became clear:

The glass was produced from the Guangzhou Glass Factory and sold by the People's Chamber of Commerce to the Liang Chamber of Commerce, which transported the glass out of Guangdong to General Lin's territory, and another merchant received the glass and sold it in the Ming Dynasty.

The Liang Chamber of Commerce and the two cooperating businessmen are the superficial gainers, and secretly there are the big names contacted by the Liang Chamber of Commerce, General Lin, the People's Chamber of Commerce, and even the People's Army and the Ming Court can also get benefits.

The People's Army could collect large sums of commercial taxes from the Liang Chamber of Commerce, and the merchants that the Liang Chamber of Commerce cooperated with also had to pay tolls to the government when transporting glass.

It is also interesting that a glass business can make the People's Army and the Ming Court profitable, and the efforts of the businessmen are indispensable.

When the glass business is getting bigger and bigger, and more big people have interest relations, even if the Ming court knows that the glass business is related to the People's Army, it can't stop it, not to mention that the glass business has no other impact on the Ming court except for money.

The Liang Chamber of Commerce has successfully opened up the most important point on the trade route, and it will take some time to open up the second half of the trade route, but it is not difficult, and it is only a matter of time before the trade route is successfully opened.

The Liang Chamber of Commerce is going well, but the progress of other merchants is not so smooth, some merchants sent people to pass the customs and want to buy the generals of the Ming army, but they did not expect that the target Ming army generals could not be bought at all, and their men fell into the Ming army, and they lost a lot of money.

The people sent by Shangjia are all henchmen, and they all made a guarantee before departure, once someone has an accident, his wife and children are all supported, and now that something really happens, he needs to come up with a lot of money to support people, if he doesn't support him, I'm afraid that other subordinates will be centrifuged.

The trade route was not opened, but the loss of personnel and money, which made the businessmen heartache to death, the merchants with a lot of money in their hands will continue to look for other directions to try to open up the trade routes, and the merchants who do not have much money in their hands will either give up the glass business, or think about other merchants to open up the trade routes, and spend their own money.

If you can choose, it is best to control a trade route yourself, but this is a matter of luck, and no one can 100% guarantee that you can buy a Ming army general with money.

For a businessman, owning a trade route means a steady stream of money, even if this trade route is unusable after a few years, this glass business alone can make a lot of money.

Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin and other businessmen can see that this glass business can make a lot of money, Liang Xin directly sent his henchmen to set off with six hundred taels of gold, and the situation between Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan will not be much different.

Before the glass business, there was no merchant trying to open up the trade route from the People's Army-ruled area to the Ming Dynasty-ruled area, and at that time, there were no special products that could make money in the People's Army-ruled area, and even if the trade route was opened, it would not make money, but would lose money.

Now that there is a glass business that can make a lot of money, one after another businessmen want to open up the trade route from the People's Army-ruled area to the Ming Dynasty-ruled area.

Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin, who stayed in Guangzhou City, didn't know that only Liang Xin successfully passed the customs all the way, and Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan were blocked at the checkpoint.

Even if Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin have a good relationship, Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan will still try to control a trade route of their own, and unless they keep failing, they will choose to borrow the trade route opened by the Liang Chamber of Commerce and get a preferential price as friends.
