"It's not easy for the fleet to go north once a year, it's impossible to come a few more times, and we can't get through without the wind. Everyone hopes that the fleet will come more often, in fact, they hope to get the goods you want at any time, to solve this problem, I have some methods, whether it can be achieved depends on everyone. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.

Immediately, many people couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any good way, and please ask the shopkeeper Yang to make it clear that as long as there are goods and methods, we will cooperate well!" ”

Yang Congyi hesitated for a while, and then said under the eager gaze of everyone: "I can only get the goods from the south once in three or four years, and the goods that come over for trading every year are shipped from Mizhou, if you put some of the goods in Liaoyang Mansion, then all year round, everyone can get the goods you want at any time, but it is not easy to put the goods here." Everyone is a businessman, and the most important thing in doing business is safety, without security, nothing can be done. I won't tell you the truth, my previous business was actually in the Wa Kingdom east of Mizhou, and I have never been to that place since they robbed a merchant ship once, even though many merchants there have sent letters many times to say that they have paid to exterminate those bandits, but I have lost my trust in them. In the past two years, the fleet's transactions in Chenzhou and Liaoyang Mansion have been very smooth, no one has made trouble, and no one has robbed the fleet, so I will come to Liaoyang Mansion in person this time, just to discuss big business with everyone. But to build trust and leave the goods in Liaoyang Mansion, it is not so easy, heart to heart, what do you think? ”

When everyone heard that Yang Congyi intended to put the goods in Liaoyang Mansion so that they could trade with them at any time, they were overjoyed.

"Shopkeeper Yang, although we haven't known each other for a long time, we have been doing business with your fleet for three years, don't you know how our conduct is?"

"Yes, we are all very regular business, otherwise we won't be able to gain a foothold in Liaoyang Mansion, shopkeeper Yang, you can rest assured, it's safe to put the goods here, don't worry about it at all, if anyone dares to disobey the rules, don't talk to shopkeeper Yang, we can kill him immediately!" Everyone said no! ”

"That's right! Shopkeeper Yang rest assured, whoever dares to touch your goods will not be able to get along with us and offend us, so he won't want to stay in this Liaoyang Mansion! ”

"If Shopkeeper Yang is still not at ease, you can put the goods in my horse farm, I have 3,000 people, all of them are good hands, and it is not a problem to protect the safety of the goods at all!"

"In that case, there are still 4,000 people in my horse farm, who is not a good master of riding and archery! There are also several nephews and nephews who serve in the army, all of whom lead soldiers, and it is safest for me to put the goods of the shopkeeper Yang! ”

Seeing that everyone began to argue, Yang Congyi immediately interrupted them: "Okay, please listen to me." Everyone's kindness, Yang Mou got it. It's not that I don't trust everyone, but storing the goods in any person's house is not within the scope of my consideration, since it is a business, of course, it is necessary to have its own warehouse, if you can, the goods are the most suitable in Liaoyang City. But I don't feel at ease if you want to put the goods in the city, after all, the most powerful people in the city should not be among you! Without his guarantee and protection, my goods are placed here, and they may disappear at any time, and when the time comes, my loss will be large, and I think everyone's loss will not be small, I don't know if you have a way? ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly cooled.

"Shopkeeper Yang, what do you want, you might as well say it directly, we can find a way and try to find a way."

A moment later, the silence was broken by a large family.

"I don't know if you know the left-behind in Liaoyang Mansion, if you can get in touch with him, if you can introduce me to meet the left-behind adults, and have a relationship with him, and my business in Liaoyang City is personally recognized by him, then I can rest assured that the goods will be sent here, and I can trade with you at any time!" Yang Congyi's expression also became solemn.

"This ...... It's not easy to do! ”

"Although the official position of Liaoyang is big, he is still a member of the royal family, but he does not have much real power in Liaoyang, and although the deputy left-behind has power, he doesn't know how long he will stay in Liaoyang, maybe it will take less than a year and a half to be transferred, is it useful to find them?"

"The deputy is naturally not good, he is a person from Yanjing, and he will leave when he says he will go. Although Lord Wanyan doesn't have much real power in Liaoyang Mansion, he still talks about it in Liaoyang, and besides, this Liaoyang area is not all about the Left-behind Mansion, and everyone has to cooperate with what decrees are to be implemented, right? Shopkeeper Liu, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Li family, can you get to know Lord Wanyan through the Li family? ”

"Do you have to finish Lord Yan nodding?"

"After all, the Left-behind Mansion is an official government, even if he doesn't have much power, he represents the imperial court, and Lord Wanyan is still a member of the royal family, and anyone in this Liaoyang Mansion will give him some face. If Shopkeeper Yang can get in touch with Lord Wanyan, wouldn't things be much easier? ”

"Okay, I'll visit Li's house right away."

"Shopkeeper Yang, if you can get on the relationship with Lord Yan, I hope you can fulfill your promise and open your shop to Liaoyang Mansion, or leave a warehouse here!"

Yang Congyi smiled at this time: "Of course, if you can meet Lord Wanyan and get the approval of Lord Wanyan, Yang will definitely open a shop in Liaoyang." I'm just waiting for your good news! ”

"Okay, if there is any news, I will inform Shopkeeper Yang immediately."

After some discussion, everyone came up with some ideas, and then left with anticipation.

A few days later, Shopkeeper Liu personally came to the inn where Yang Congyi was staying and brought good news.

He told Yang Congyi that after all his efforts and a great price, he saw Li Shi, the uncle of Wan Yan Yong who stayed in Liaoyang, and the other party had a close relationship with Wan Yan Yong, and had agreed to arrange an opportunity to meet, but before that, he wanted to see Yang Congyi first.

Yang Congyi didn't hesitate much, and immediately nodded in agreement, since it was Wan Yan Yong's mother, the Li family, who came from the Bohai clan, his uncle Li Shi's status in the Li family must be unusual, as long as he could get in touch with him, it would naturally not be a problem to meet Wan Yan Yong.

Two days later, in an ordinary tavern in Liaoyang City, Yang Congyi met Li Shi under the recommendation of Shopkeeper Liu.

Li Shi is over 50 years old, his hair is a little gray, hidden in a hat, his chin is white, and his beard is very neatly groomed.

After Shopkeeper Liu introduced the two to each other, he quickly left, leaving the two of them in the private room.

"Mr. Li, I am a businessman, I came from Mizhou this time, I want to expand my business in Liaoyang, I think Shopkeeper Liu has already told you, so I won't say more. As for why I want to see the left-behind adults, in fact, it is for safety reasons, my goods are from the far, far south, the goods are very precious, it is not easy to come to a trip, I can only get the goods once in three or four years, and to Liaoyang is once a year, the supply exceeds demand, if my shop in Liaoyang Mansion is not taken care of by the left-behind adults, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive. I heard that Mr. Li has a good relationship with the left-behind adults, so I won't beat around the bush, and I will share the profits of the left-behind adults in my shop in Liaoyang Mansion so that I can be taken care of by the adults? ”

Interests are always the most useful weapon to get closer to the relationship, Yang Congyi went straight to the topic, directly promised benefits, if the other party accepted, they could immediately establish a more intimate relationship, and then it was possible to form an alliance of interests.

Li Shi stared at Yang Congyi quietly for a few breaths, and then suddenly asked, "How is Lord Zhou lately?" ”

"Lord Zhou? I don't know who Mr. Li is talking about? Yang Congyi was slightly startled, what did the other party mean by a Lord Zhou coming out of his mouth? Start thinking about it right away.

"Zhou Yi, the governor of Mizhou, I am friends with him, and I haven't been in touch for a while." Li Shi said lightly, but his eyes were still on Yang Congyi's face.

Yang Congyi has never been to Mizhou, he said before that he was from Mizhou instead of Dengzhou, because Mizhou is farther away from Liaoyang, and now the other party asks about the situation in Mizhou, where will he know.

Looking back at the other party's eyes, between the lightning and flint, he suddenly woke up and immediately replied: "I have lived in Mizhou for a long time, but I have never heard that there is a Zhou Lord named Zhou Yi who serves as the governor of Mizhou. Is Mr. Lee mistaken? ”

Hearing this, Li Shi's expression changed slightly, and then he asked in surprise, "Is it?" That could be my mistake. He's not in Michigan, is he in Dengzhou? ”

Yang Congyi immediately shook his head and said: "No, I often go to Dengzhou to do business, and it is inevitable that I will deal with the government, as far as I know, there has not been a governor named Zhou Yi in Dengzhou in recent years." ”

Hearing the other party's answer, Li Shi was slightly stunned, and then chuckled awkwardly: "I'm really confused, I'm really confused, forget about him." Just now you said your goods are from the south? Where does it come from, can you easily inform Li? ”

Seeing that the other party's vigilance against him was lowered a little, Yang Congyi's heart lightened, and he immediately replied: "Don't hide it from Mr. Li, these goods of mine are actually from the Great Song Dynasty, and they were shipped all the way from Quanzhou, and they paid a great price, which is not easy, of course, the profits are not low, and the price of these goods in the Song Kingdom is higher than gold, let alone shipped to Liaoyang." The most important thing in doing business is to make money together, if you can get the protection of the left-behind adults, open a shop in Liaoyang, specializing in selling rare goods from the Song Kingdom, you will definitely be able to make a lot of profits. Mr. Li might as well make a price, and we will make it together if we have money! ”

Li Shi smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Yang, Li is not a left-behind adult, how can I be the master of the left-behind adult, but it is difficult for me to make a price." ”

"Mr. Li, you are an elder who stays behind, and the adult is busy with official business, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward to deal with such small matters on his behalf. Whether it is in Mizhou, Dengzhou or the Great Song Dynasty, many things are actually contacted by the elders and nephews, and I will not lose a cent of money, and if the profit exceeds expectations, I will not be stingy, and it is not a problem to give Mr. Li one more. Yang Congyi said with a smile.
