Ansan Township.

A man in his forties was walking down the street with a horse, and all kinds of shouts were heard in his ears, and the street was also full of people and endless streams, like a bustling market.

This middle-aged man is Mr. Shan mentioned by Kong Yanjin, the Holy Father.

This person was originally a brocade guard in Nanjing, because of the crime, forced to flee to Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, by chance, by the Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin, received in the Confucian Mansion, since then has become Kong Yanjin's brains.

At this time, Mr. Shan walked around the town of Ansan alone, and seeing that it was already noon, he found a wine shop and sat down.

"This Ansan Town has been here several times before, but in the hands of the Liu family, Ansan Town is not so prosperous! It seems that this Liu Juntao really has some means, and he is not an ordinary hero! ”

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to serve a table of deliciousness.

Don't look at Mr. Shan's clothes, but he likes to eat and drink, even when he goes out, he must eat and drink well.

For this reason, Mr. Shan also specially asked for a pot of Liu's second pot head, which is famous in Yushan Town!

Mr. Shan only took a sip and froze.

"I've also drunk fine wine, but those good wines can't compare to the mellow of this Liu's second pot!"

Mr. Shan is the best wine in his life, and when he encountered such a fine wine today, he was out of control and drank six pots of wine in a row!

By the time Mr. Shan finished drinking, it was already evening.

Looking at the gradually faint pedestrians outside, Mr. Shan said secretly: "Such a good wine, I don't know how Liu Juntao brewed it!" If Liu Juntao is willing, the head of the family should really make friends with him! ”

That night, Mr. Shan stayed in Anshan Town, and continued north the next morning, heading straight for Yushan Town.

Two days later, Mr. Shan rushed to Yushan Town, and after seeing the scene of the construction of the city in full swing, he was shocked again.

I saw that the construction site of Yushan Town New Town was full of houses pouring cement, houses several stories high abounded, and the streets that had been roughly formed were very straight, like a chessboard.

At the same time, the pulley block and fine iron "steel bar" technology that have been popularized on the construction site have made Mr. Shan even more amazed, as if a countryman had entered the city, and his two eyes were not enough.

Mr. Shan led the horse to walk on the construction site, walking towards the old city of Yushan Town, looking at the people of Yushan Town coming and going, as well as the young and strong guards who passed by in groups, and suddenly felt that there was a strange atmosphere, permeating the surroundings, as if the people in Yushan Town were different from other places, and there was a high-spirited spirit and spirit of hard work between the eyebrows!

"I've seen the world from south to north, but it's the first time I've seen such a positive place like this Yushan Town!"

Mr. Shan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he led the horse into the old city, and met a team of escorts led by Chang Hongdao.

Looking at the young and strong guards who passed neatly in front of him, Mr. Shan couldn't help but be secretly frightened: "Such people and horses, even the soldiers of the Beijing camp in Nanjing City can't compare!" Moreover, those young men are all equipped with flintlock guns, or flintlock fire guns! What is the origin of this Liu Juntao? ”

At this time, Mr. Shan urgently had the urge to meet Liu Juntao, to see what kind of person this legendary figure was.

However, Mr. Shan finally held back, after all, he had something important to do this time, and he couldn't spoil the big thing of Yan Shenggong because of his curiosity!

So Mr. Shan went around the old town of Yushan Town, and finally found Liu Zi'an by asking the guards Qingzhuang for news.

At Liu Zi'an's home, Mr. Shan took out a letter and handed it over with both hands, and Liu Zi'an also took it respectfully, but did not open it, but put it on the table at hand.

"Sir, is it from the Yansheng Mansion? Disrespectful under it! “

"Steward Liu doesn't have to be polite, his contemptible status is low, and he is not qualified to directly ask to see Mr. Liu Lian, so I can only come to trouble you, and I also ask Steward Liu to forward this letter to Mr. Liu Lian as soon as possible."

Liu Zi'an smiled politely, and then asked, "I just don't know what happened to this letter that Mr. brought?" ”

Mr. Shan looked around and saw that Liu Zi'an's house in the new city of Yushan Town was very simple, but it was built in a unique way: the houses were all made of cement, not a single wood, and not even bricks and stones were used! Moreover, the windows of the room are not covered with window paper, but directly with transparent glass!

Seeing this, Mr. Shan pointed to the glass on the window and said with a smile: "Steward Liu, this contemptible person is just running errands." However, Yan Shenggong already belongs to him, and he wants to discuss with President Liu Lian about cooperation to make money! ”

Hearing this, Liu Zi'an couldn't help but feel moved, his face was also flushed, and he secretly said in his heart: "If what this person said is true, it is a great thing!" If my Yushan Town's business has a share of Yan Shenggong, who will dare to go against my Yushan Town in the future? This is a Danshu iron coupon! ”

Thinking of this, Liu Zi'an laughed and said, "Sir, don't worry! It's on me. ”

"That's the contemptible thank you!"

"You're welcome, sir! I think so, I'll arrange for my husband to live first, so that I can see the style of my Yushan Town. I'm going to report to Mr. Lian, and as soon as there is news, I'll immediately talk to Mr., how about it? ”

Mr. Shan said, "Then please ask Steward Liu to bother more." However, I will go back today, and when Steward Liu has news here, he can send someone to Dongping Prefecture to find me, and the contemptible people will be waiting for me in Dongping Prefecture. ”

Liu Zi'an also secretly scolded himself when he heard this: Although this Mr. Shan is only a gentleman in the Confucian Mansion, he also represents Yan Shenggong! How can you wait here for news?

So, Liu Zi'an said slightly apologetically: "Okay, just listen to Mr.!" As soon as there is news, I will immediately rush to Dongpingzhou to meet Mr.! ”

After Mr. Shan led the horse away, Liu Zi'an didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately rushed to Liu Juntao's house and handed over the handwritten letter from Yan Shenggong.

"Mr. Lian! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Immediately, Liu Zi'an said all his thoughts, and finally said: "Mr. Lian, the opportunity must not be missed, we must promise Yan Shenggong!" ”

Liu Juntao did not express his position directly, but first asked Liu Zi'an to rest for a while, and opened the handwritten letter of Yan Shenggong.

After reading it, Liu Juntao laughed out loud and said to Liu Zi'an: "Yan Shenggong proposed in the letter that he wanted to invest 500,000 taels of silver in our business in Yushan Town, and sent someone to help us!" ”

Liu Zi'an couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Yan Shenggong is going to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce!" Mr. Lian, this one must not be promised! ”

"That's right!"

Liu Juntao nodded and said, "Didn't Mr. Shan say that he was waiting for you in Dongping Prefecture?" You will go there in two days and tell Mr. Shan: Yan Shenggong will invest us in silver and shares, and I, Liu Juntao, welcome it with both hands, and in the future, we will have silver to earn together, and we will make a fortune together! Glass, cement, and soju are selling very well, and any of them can be invested by Yan Shenggong! There is one point, Yan Shenggong can invest in silver, and the silver can be shared, but the production of the Yushan Workshop and the sales of various commercial goods, Yan Shenggong can't participate, and no one can be placed, otherwise there is no need to talk! ”

Liu Zi'an nodded heavily and responded, "I understand!" Don't worry, I'll go to Dongpingzhou tomorrow! ”
