Chapter 3 Deep into Longtan

Kang Damao didn't answer, he knelt down to worship the three patriarchs of Weng, Qian, and Pan when he entered the door, and put on three incense sticks, during which no one stopped him at all, and everyone in the audience nodded silently, this kid still knows some rules.

At this time, a table and a chair were placed in the hall, Kang Damao retreated to the table and chair in the hall after making incense, and stood next to the table and chair in the hall.

Kang Damao stood there and took off the lid of the cup, picked up the teacup and just wanted to put it to his mouth, he quietly swept around, only to see the people around him standing up one after another.

He didn't panic, just put the lid upside down on the cup holder, then placed the teacup firmly on the lid, and finally put a pair of chopsticks on it, looking up at everyone.

At this time, the one-eyed dragon on the left laughed, he clapped his palms, and said heartily: "Come on, hang the photo (black language: look at the seat)!" ”

"Kang Dayong, Luohe Kang family young owner, now Zhenjiang Mansion has opened a branch of Kangjia Grain Village, am I not wrong?" The "mixed river dragon" on the right stood up and said that they had found out Kang Damao's family history clearly.

"That's right!" Kang Damao straightened his back and said.

As soon as he wanted to speak, Kang Damao took out a gold ingot from his arms, a full ten taels of gold, and made a generous move, as soon as the gold was taken out, one-third of the profit of this trip was gone, but Kang Damao had his own ideas.

"Just ten taels of gold, please drink tea with the brothers, and rely on the brothers in the future." Kang Damao said with his fists clenched around.

"Well said, well said." The rest of the people hugged their fists in return, and they all praised this kid for making an extraordinary move at a young age, and they couldn't help but look up.

Xiang Yunlong, who was in the middle from beginning to end, didn't speak, and Kang Damao directly asked people to hand over the gold to Xiang Yunlong.

Xiang Yunlong habitually turned over and glanced at the bottom with the gold, and whispered in his mouth: "The official silver of the capital? ”

"The official bank does official business." Kang Damao said a few words simply.

"You mean that the ten boats of grain are ......" Xiang Yunlong felt bad when he heard it, although their Cao Gang also did things for the official family, as long as it was involved in the official family, it would be troublesome, I was afraid that the flood would wash the Dragon King Temple.

"It's not a secret, those ten boatloads of grain are military rations sent to the Luohe River and transferred to the capital, this is a military grain procurement agreement, please take a look." As he spoke, Kang Damao handed over a purchase agreement stamped with the official seal.

Xiang Yunlong glanced at his face and was a little embarrassed, yes, he only figured out that the Kang family didn't expect them to have business dealings with the capital, this time it was difficult to ride a tiger, he couldn't help but glared at the mixed river dragon next to him, it was all your bad idea.

"Military rations, hehe, if the food is lost, I'm afraid it's your Kang family who is unlucky, our Cao Gang is at most not guilty of ignorance, I have a way to get the best of both worlds, do you want to hear it, little brother?" Xiang Yunlong said.

"I want to hear about it." Kang Damao stubbornly said that he thought it was definitely not a good idea.

"The grain will be returned to you, but there is one condition that our Cao Gang will transport it to the capital for your Kang family." Xiang Yunlong stared at Kang Damao after speaking, he wanted to see this kid's reaction.

"Go on." Kang Damao said calmly that he didn't believe that the Cao Gang had such good intentions.

"Little brother, you are a smart person, I will say it directly, in the future, all the water business of your Kang family will be contracted by our Cao Gang, and as for your boats, we will buy them all." After Xiang Yunlong finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, this was his real purpose.

"What if I don't use it?" Kang Damao looked directly at Xiang Yunlong and said word by word.

"Boy, there is a kind, then don't even think about this food, wait to be punished." Xiang Yunlong didn't laugh angrily when he heard Kang Damao's words, he was now sure of the kid in front of him.

"I don't want these ten boats of grain, what is the crime of robbing military rations, you must know better than me, the twelve generations of the Kang family have made a living from water, and their business has gone up to the capital and down to Hangzhou, can you know a few friends in the officialdom? Lord Jin, the chief soldier of Caoyun, and Lord He, the governor of Caoyun. Kang Damao said that he was silent here, and the point was over.

Robbery of military rations? I rub! Don't say it so directly, their Cao Gang has always done things in the name of the government, but I didn't expect this kid to use the government to suppress them today.

Robbing military rations, this is no joke, Xiang Yunlong listened to Kang Damao's words, and his face was cloudy for a while.

"However, there is no need to alarm Lord He, the governor of Caoyun, this little thing, my father has rushed to the Caoyun General Army's mansion overnight, I see that you are very good here, I will wait for the news here." Kang Damao sat down swaggeringly as he spoke.

He sat alone in the middle of the hall, arrogant, without the slightest timidity, the legs of the two tigers standing honestly next to him were a little trembling, Kang Damao grabbed the arms of the two tigers and pinched them hard, he glanced at the two tigers firmly, and the two tigers calmed down a little.

At this time, there were two people standing behind the curtains on the left and right sides of the hall, seeing Kang Damao's performance, a sneer flashed at the corners of his mouth behind his hands, but the other person frowned, and couldn't help but open the curtain and take a look at Kang Damao.

Xiang Yunlong was shocked in his heart, this kid came prepared, the Cao Gang was directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Caoyun, and offending the Governor of Caoyun was to smash his own job, but he still said toughly: "Playing tricks with Lao Tzu, you are not qualified enough." ”

"Come on, tie up this kid to Lao Tzu." The one-eyed dragon, the deputy gang leader on the left, couldn't sit still at this time, he stood up and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, four people immediately came up and pressed Kang Damao to the ground and tied him up with ropes.

"Big brother, if you want me to say it, you will directly slaughter this kid." Mixed Jianglong got up and came to Xiang Yunlong's side and said.

"Hahahaha!" Kang Damao was pressed to the ground and looked up and laughed, very rampant.

"Why do you dare to laugh, Lao Tzu makes you laugh, makes you laugh." The mixed river dragon rushed towards Kang Damao and kicked him directly to the ground.

Kang Damao was kicked heavily in the chest, and he lay on the ground coughing.

"I laugh at your ignorance." Kang Damao sat on the ground and coughed a few times, and said calmly.

"Cao Bang Weng, Qian, and Pan, the three patriarchs of the gang, set up a gang to focus on righteousness, and consider the interests of the brothers in advance, but you hijacked military rations for your own selfish interests, who would dare to run a boat on the canal after you do this? How could Emperor Kangxi of Jingshi be dominated by the Cao Gang, and when the time comes, he will inevitably suppress and even dissolve the Cao Gang. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Yunlong felt as if he had been hit with a hammer in his heart, and he immediately stood up from his chair and slowly walked towards Kang Damao.

"What about your opinion?" Xiang Yunlong squatted down and stared at Kang Damao and asked.

"Xiang Gang Master, with all due respect, you only see the immediate benefits, these are just small profits, think about it, the Yellow River has often flooded in recent years, seriously affecting the food supply in the capital; Emperor Kangxi and Wu Sangui have been at war for many years, and the army is also in urgent need of food. ”

Kang Damao only looked at Xiang Yunlong's eyes and analyzed the form of the world.

"As the twelfth generation of the Kang family, he still has some knowledge, what kind of cooperation method?" Xiang Yunlong suddenly became interested, and at the same time, he also felt that the knowledge and courage of this kid in front of him were by no means ordinary.

Xiang Yunlong sat on the ground, he and Kang Damao sat opposite each other, and at this time he didn't have the slightest shelf to help the leader.

"Isn't it time for me to get the rope on my body?"

"Come on, loosen the tie."

Kang Damao agreed to divide a part of the grain transportation business on the Kangjia Canal to the Cao Gang, but all the Kang family's shipping was calculated at a 20% discount.

At the same time, the grain village under the name of Kang Damao gave Xiang Yunlong some dry shares, on the condition that the Cao Gang ensure the safety of navigation in the Kangjia Canal.

Kang Damao drew a cake for Xiang Yunlong, in Kang Damao's words, Zhenjiang Mansion Kangjia Grain Village is the first branch he opened, and he will open branches along the canal all the way, all the way to the capital, will there be less business?

Xiang Yunlong is also satisfied, with this young master of the Kang family climbing to the Kang family, even if the imperial court rectifies Caoyun in the future, the Kang family can also help him talk, the official road and the business road are bigger at the same time, which is beneficial to the development of Caoyun, and he is more optimistic about Kang Damao.

The details of the agreement were finalized, and the two signed on the spot.

After everything was done, Kang Damao's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he wanted to leave this place quickly, just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Chao Jianglong stopped at the door with a group of people.

"Don't go, Lao Tzu gave him the nickname Mixed River Dragon, to tell you the truth, Lao Tzu was originally from Zhenjiang Mansion, you kid don't know yet, Dabin He is my nephew, you hurt him, do you say that Lao Tzu will let you stand and walk out today?"

"This ......" Kang Damao turned his head to look at Xiang Yunlong, why have I cooperated deeply with you, and you let your subordinates mess around?

Xiang Yunlong's face was cloudy for a while, and he could see that the corners of his mouth were twitching.
