Cao Jinbao heard Lan Ziyi's question, raised his head and smiled indifferently. Cao Jinbao is not fat, it should be said that he is very thin, but when he laughs at this time, he narrows his eyes into two thin slits, like a bloated fat man who can't lift his eyelids.

Cao Jinbao picked up the wine glass and played with it carefully, and a small wine cup was pinched by him several times as if it were a rare treasure. During this period, Lan Ziyi had been waiting patiently on the side, and after a long time, Cao Jinbao stopped the movement of his hand, and he said:

"Is Wei Hou in trouble?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Is there a difficulty, the things that Boss Cao wants me to help with are all things that have been decided by the imperial court, and it is easy to talk about peace if you want the imperial court to take back your fame?"

Cao Jinbao smacked his tongue when he heard this, and he said:

"Cao is deeply honored that Wei Hou can come to visit me today, so at the dinner table, we can talk about some trivial things together, which can be regarded as the friendship of our fellow villagers in Beizhen. Just now, Wei Hou also said that you and I are friendly, and we will help if there is a problem, so I also told the problem at hand. I know that things are difficult, and because of them, I can't solve them with my strength. Now that Wei Hou has heard it, he also feels that it is tricky, so I can't force Wei Hou to do this and that. I'm thinking of something else. “

At the beginning of the conversation, Lan Ziyi thought that he had seized the opportunity, but he didn't expect that now that he had just put forward the conditions, Cao Jinbao would say it to death, if you really want to talk like this, how can you talk next? Today, Lan Ziyi is here to ask for money, and in the conversation just now, Lan Ziyi also learned how much wealth this Boss Cao has in his hands, what Lan Ziyi will do in the future is a shocking thing, and the amount of silver required for this can be described as a huge amount, if there is not enough financial support, Lan Ziyi's future actions will inevitably be greatly discounted. So today, Lan Ziyi must talk about things instead of collapsing.

Lan Ziyi's situation is not good, and the father and son of the Qiu family can naturally hear it. So Qiu Xiaozhi spoke for Lan Ziyi:

"Most of the Jiangdong scholars in the court today, the two things mentioned by Boss Cao have something to do with Jiangdong businessmen, Boss Cao cut the profits of the Jiangdong people to sue the officials of the Jiangdong people, how can this work?"

Cao Jinbao said:

"I naturally know that it won't work to find an official from Jingdong, but Wei Hou can't help me, so I can only think of other ways."

Qiu Wenruo said:

"Wei Hou can't help Boss Cao, is there anyone else in the court who can help Boss Cao? Now that the Jiangdong scholars of North Korea, Central Africa, and Jiangdong are all wise and unable to move, even Li Chenghai in the cabinet is old and mediocre, and he is about to die, who else can he go to for Boss Cao's affairs? “

Cao Jinbao said:

"That's why I have a headache. But Wei Hou can't help me, what can I do? ”

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"It's not that Wei Hou can't help you, but he needs Boss Cao's help if he has difficulties."

Cao Jinbao said:

"I don't understand what Mr. Xiaozhi meant. It is precisely because Cao encountered all the things of the imperial court that I couldn't do it as a grass citizen. As an official, if Wei Hou can't handle these court affairs, then he can't do it, how can I help? “

Lan Ziyi listened to Cao Jinbao and the enemy's father and son with a smile on his face, he knew that Cao Jinbao was pretending to be confused, but he had no choice.

Lan Ziyi is very patient, but not everyone is patient, such as Yueshanjian. Since she entered the workshop to eat today, Yueshan has not had a chance to speak, and she doesn't have to rush to say it, but now this anxious state of you coming and going makes her very disgusted. Yueshanma opened his mouth after Cao Jinbao asked what to say:

"Boss Cao, don't pretend to be confused, Wei Hou wants to do things for you, you can get a lot of silver taels up and down, these money Wei Hou's family can't afford it, so Wei Hou asked Boss Cao how he can help. Now Boss Cao, you only let Wei Hou help you, and never mention the matter, which is very difficult. ”

Cao Jinbao heard Yue'er speak, turned his head in surprise, he looked at Yue'er carefully for a long time, and then said:

"It turned out to be a woman, I actually looked away just now."

Then Cao Jinbao said:

"If Wei Hou needs silver, just ask, Cao will not give it, but why did Wei Hou ask me just now if there is anything that can help Wei Hou? That sounds a lot like ripping off. ”

Cao Jinbao knocked out the bamboo and knocked out the bamboo, everyone present listened to it unpleasantly, and Yue'er said directly:

"Boss Cao, there will be a problem if you talk like this."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he immediately raised his hand and pressed Yue'er beside him, he wanted to speak, but was preempted by Dugu Leopard, Dugu Leopard said:

"Boss Cao, my young master doesn't have any intention of ripping off the bamboo, it's just that he has read too many sage books, and he can't pull his face to directly mention the money, so he 'inspires' Boss Cao in a roundabout way, and he doesn't mean anything else."

Dugu Leopard said this sentence for Lan Ziyi to come back, although there were some complaints about Lan Ziyi's meaning, but on the whole, Lan Ziyi did not lose face.

Cao Jinbao heard what Dugu Leopard said, and smiled:

"We are all from Beizhen, just say anything directly, but people who beat around the bush can't understand."

Dugu Leopard smiled:

"I also advise Boss Cao, don't get cheap and sell well, you have been in business for so long, you naturally know the truth of winning a quarrel and losing business."

Cao Jinbao smiled, did not continue the topic, he changed his tone, and then said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou lives in the palace, he is a waiter, and the two fathers-in-law in the palace take good care of Wei Hou, and the future is immeasurable. The future is immeasurable, and to complete this road, the things that need to be done are naturally not something that grass people like me can imagine. Of course, that was Wei Hou's own business, and it was not Cao's turn to talk too much. It's just that as a businessman, Cao naturally calculated how much silver taels Wei Hou would spend to do his own things, which was sky-high. “

Lan Ziyi looked at Cao Jinbao with a smile and didn't speak. Cao Jinbao paused to observe Lan Ziyi's reaction, but he didn't wait for Lan Ziyi to speak, so he said:

"In the future, no matter what Wei Hou does in the capital, no matter how much silver taels he spends, just come to me to receive it, I don't ask where it comes from, it's all inclusive."

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this:

"Boss Cao is really wealthy, and he covered my expenses in one bite. It just so happens that I am also worried that I have a lot of expenses in the capital and have no financial resources, so it is really good that Boss Cao is willing to help me. Boss Cao, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to the two things you requested. ”

Cao Jinbao looked at Lan Ziyi with a smile, and he said:

"Those two things Wei Hou can do for Cao, Cao is naturally grateful. However, those two things are trivial things to put it bluntly, and Cao still has a big thing that Wei Hou needs to help do. ”

Lan Ziyi frowned and said:

"What else?"

Cao Jinbao saw Lan Ziyi frowning and laughing, he said:

"It's my big thing, but it's Wei Hou's small thing, Wei Hou doesn't have to worry. According to Weihou's current momentum, he will definitely become a pillar of the DPRK in the future, and what I want is a promise from Weihou. ”

Lan Ziyi asked:

"What promise?"

Cao Jinbao said:

"I want the Marquis of Wei to promise me that in the future, the court will have to borrow money from me."

Lan Ziyi was stunned when he heard this, and then stiffly exchanged glances with the others at the table, especially the father and son of the Qiu family. The father and son of the Qiu family didn't understand what medicine Cao Jin was selling in the treasure gourd, so Qiu Wenruo asked directly:

"The world's rich businessmen and giants encounter the court to borrow money, no one does not hide, no one does not avoid, besiege the court to play a white note, borrow money and do not pay back, why Boss Cao, you want the court to ask you to borrow money? It's hard to figure out. ”

Cao Jinbao said:

"I, Cao, just love to do the opposite. I didn't ask the court to ask me to borrow money, but to ask the court only to ask me to borrow money, and of course, the court had to give a written commitment to repay the principal and interest. Money cannot be borrowed in vain, so I asked the imperial court to give me the privilege of issuing silver tickets. ”

Qiu Xiaozhi asked:

"Isn't Boss Cao able to issue a silver ticket now? The court didn't stop you. ”

Cao Jinbao said:

"The imperial court did not prevent me from issuing silver tickets, but the imperial court did not prevent other silver numbers from issuing silver tickets, what I want is that the imperial court gives me a license, as long as my family issues silver tickets, other silver numbers are not allowed to issue bills and pay money, if you want to issue a bill, you have to open a bill from me. I wonder if Wei Hou can promise this? ”

Saying that, Cao Jinbao looked at Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi smiled and said:

"Boss Cao's request is not difficult, but it will have to wait until I enter the temple one day. As long as Boss Cao is not afraid to lend me money to spend money, I will promise you this. ”

Cao Jinbao raised his glass and smiled when he heard this:

"I believe in Wei Hou, come, I will toast Wei Hou for a drink."
