Chang Yubo obviously realized something from it, and he wanted to speak and stopped, causing Li Zhi to smile and go deep into the topic: "At present, as long as he is not allowed to come into contact with the core secrets, you can let him go and improve the improper implementation of the process, and promise him shares after the operation of the factory in the field in the future, but everything can only be verbally and not really implemented, as long as he continues to see the hope of the future, so as to tie him to work wholeheartedly." ”

"Mr. Li is talking about this person..."

"At present, it is only a suspicion, you might as well use him to lay out the overall situation, as long as this person really has a problem, he will be allowed to even be caught in the Wenchang Academy; If he has no problems, this person does have real knowledge of papermaking, and he can decide whether to keep it or not. Chang Yubo, I trust you enough, you can't leak a trace of my thoughts in front of this person! ”

"Mr. Li, don't worry, I will not let him notice it in the slightest, on the contrary, I will take the initiative to show a posture of recognition!"

"He doesn't care about anyone else in private, and waits for him to be transferred to another place for interrogation. In short, create a false impression of sincere acceptance for him, and you can also have more private contact with each other, and limit the disclosure of your own control! ”

"I know how to do it! By the way, Mr. Li, these trucks are small notes, there have been foreign merchants to find the factory to ask for large orders, I have sought the opinions of several shareholders, they suggested that the rice paper should be dragged back first, the main focus on this order, I want to consult your ideas! ”

"Hehe, it's still the ten-color note that is more profitable, and the shareholders are also red-eyed! How many orders are in this batch? Where did it come from? ”

"In the south, with three Cantonese people as the core, it should be their intention to be the sales agent of that side. Each of the three books costs 10,000, and the red note costs another 10,000, and the total payment does not exceed 15,000 taels of silver! ”

"What about the payment method?"

"One percent deposit, after the completion of the account forty percent, we provide transportation, the goods on delivery to pay the remaining fifty percent of the payment!"

"Ten percent of the payment will arrive before the start of construction, the transportation will be taken care of, and the product will no longer be responsible for leaving the factory, and there is no room for bargaining. What do these people want to do? On what basis do they have such bargaining courage? ”

"It was introduced by Li Yin, the envoy of the Guangdong Festival, Li Wannian, and they have Li Yin's own letter, and it was personally brought by the master of the palace of the Three Kings Jingwang!"

"No matter who it is, strictly follow this resolution, and inform several major shareholders that there is no room for maneuver in this matter! And tell them that it is difficult to guarantee the supply of our goods in Chang'an City, and they are not able to take this order again, and they want to come to me directly if they have any questions! ”

"Mr. Li thinks there is something wrong with this shipment?"

"There is no problem with the goods, there is a problem with the people, and we have to provide transportation guarantees, what Li Yin has such a big face!"

"Mr. Li, don't be angry yet, after all..."

"Chang Yubo, although I don't know what is involved, but you don't realize the arrogance in it? Everyone knows that Zhengqing Wenqitang paper products, even if the palace is stationed in the palace, it is difficult to guarantee the shipment, he inserted a stick not to say, but also put forward such harsh conditions, really when he is a hegemon, he can remotely control the affairs of Chang'an City? Chang Yubo, this place is four thousand miles away from Guangdong, such a long-distance transportation, just one reason can make us unable to get the remaining fifty percent of the silver, have you ever considered the risk? Also, for such a long distance, the freight alone is astronomical, have you considered these? It's just that they pay the freight in advance, and this business can't be done, it's full of risks and unknowns! ”

Li Zhi's words made Chang Yubo sweat, the fact is that the distance between the two places is too far, and there is an excuse for not receiving the goods at random, can you send someone to inspect carefully along the way for four thousand miles?

Moreover, that person is the local leader who holds military and political power, and he has the final say in life and death, and any businessman dares to find his theory.

"Not only that, but they agreed to all the conditions, and the original price of the note had to be raised by 20%, and you said that it was my personal opinion, and it was only for them in Guangdong, just because they had bad intentions!"

"Isn't that too much? Mr. Li, it's a big deal that this business is not done, and there is no need to make an extra mouth to recruit a huge existence! ”

"Bullshit!" Li Zhi couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "What threat does he pose to me as a Guangdong Jiedu envoy?" Running to me to fight the autumn wind, first of all, he has evil intentions! If this attracts pressure from the palace, I will go directly to the saint to sue the emperor! Chang Yubo, we don't have to worry about sales, whether today or in the future, you have also given me enough confidence, without sincerity, don't do a single business. If there is such a thing in the future, you will directly ask them to come to me, and other shareholders will not interfere with the management authority! Where are those three now? ”

"They were arranged by me to serve in a villager's house, and after the master of Jingwangfu brought them here, they went back!"

"After unloading the goods, you will take someone back, call the guards in the factory, and drive the three out of me. The factory gate is closed, and it has entered a state of first-level alert, even if the military department sends people to open the door, our factory has signed an agreement with the imperial court, and all private military forces can be directly reported to the imperial court. Explain to the people in the village in advance, leave a few fast horses for them, and the person who reports the news can come here directly! ”

Li Zhi left him and turned to find Feng Xing: "Go and invite Guan Shangshu to come down for me!" ”

Qingqi and a few people came to ask, Yang Gaotang shook his head slightly to stop Lao Wu Tou and others from surrounding him, "You have to deal with the text yourself, you don't take the initiative to participate without his greeting!" He obviously had the intention of taking the school exam.

Soon Guan Ming appeared in the backyard, Li Zhi said the matter in general, Guan Ming nodded, "This matter is indeed not kind, that Li Yin Li Wannian is the cousin of the three kings, the three kings are the princesses of Taiping, and they have a fateful relationship with the head of the Xue family, there may be some conspiracy here, and it is in time for you to go to Lishan!" ”

"I have instructed Chang Yubo to close the factory door after he returns, so as to ensure that he will not be arrested by the officers and soldiers who may arrive later! As long as there are officers and soldiers outside the factory gate, there is another conspiracy in this! They are full of loopholes in business order practices, they can do the best, and if they can't do it, they can also anger me, so after all parties compromise in the future, they take the opportunity to propose to replace Chang Yubo. And once Chang Yubo falls into their hands, it is certain that he will be tortured, and perhaps the real purpose is to torture the secret recipe of the rice paper process. Even if they can't ask, when the personnel in the factory are replaced, they will think that Chang Yubo will no longer be important to me, and then he will be captured and tortured in a secret place at that time, which should be the final idea of these people! ”

"Mr. Li, just an unreasonable order, you can find such a vague guess from it? Isn't it a little too sensitive? ”

"Brother Caiwen, this matter is not only as simple as sensitivity, but terrifying! This incident reminded me that these days when I was not in Chang'an City, Chang Yubo could not openly stay in the factory. There should be a loophole in their schedule, because I originally planned to leave today, these people obviously ignored this point, thinking that it didn't matter if they went a day earlier, Chang Yubo would not find me so quickly, it was a coincidence that there was a batch of goods to be delivered in the factory today, otherwise Chang Yubo would probably have agreed to their business! ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because there are shareholders in the factory, Chang Yubo's first reaction when receiving an order is to ask for their opinions, but unfortunately, they may have received a request for care before, so their people agreed to take the order after receiving the information feedback!"

"Mr. Li, you should immediately ask the other shareholders, including your father-in-law, if they have the option to submit, it can also show that this matter has been carefully planned!"

"Brother Caiwen is talking about, those people in the shareholders who are on the same line as us?"

"If my estimate is correct, the ones I know in advance should be those shareholders who are not dealing with the Linhuai County Palace, the Ming Palace, or the Songwang Mansion. Moreover, you can also ask Chang Yubo again, after receiving the order, are there only those families who happen to be nearby? Chang Yubo can't tell the factional relationship between the personnel stationed in the factory! ”

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, Guan Ming's idea hit the nail on the head, as long as this aspect is confirmed, almost no one on his line will need to send someone to inquire about it.

He summoned Chang Yubo, and after careful questioning, it was indeed this result, and then asked where the other personnel in the factory went, Chang Yubo thought for a while, "Huh? Mr. Li's reminder reminded me that when the master attracted three Cantonese, the others were called by a local villager to drink! ”

Li Zhi and Guan Ming glanced at each other, and did not have a deep conversation with Chang Yubo, and sent him to continue to unload the goods.

"Mr. Li, your guess in your heart has really come true, this matter is very terrifying, it is clearly a big pit, I am very strange, why can't they wait one more day, as soon as you leave tomorrow, the success of this conspiracy is not easy to capture? At least that batch of orders will be in hand, and Chang Yubo can be sued for a major breach of responsibility because of this matter, so that both results have been achieved! Guan Ming's expression was a little puzzled.

"So, they have made a huge mistake in the timing, or these people are too arrogant, and they just missed the fact that today is a delivery day."

"So, except for those people stationed in the factory, the possibility of moles in the factory can be ruled out for the time being?"

"Not necessarily, I told Chang Yubo, the delivery time is also confidential, it was originally on the road to prevent someone from doing tricks, but I didn't expect it to come in handy recently."

At this time, the king of Linhuai County arrived with a few people, and when he saw Li Yi's solemn face, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

When he learned what was going on, his face was already distorted to the point of horror: "Text, you delay for a while, don't Chang Yubo rush back at this time for the time being, I will arrange for some people to enter the courtyard to hide first." It's only a few miles away from Liujian Village, and you can reach it in a flash! But it takes some time for a large-scale personnel transfer, and you have to go in batches, so you have to calm down and wait a little longer! ”

Waiting for the king of Linhuai County to turn around and leave, Li Zhi thought for a while, and quietly called over to seal the line, "They unload the goods, you beckon them to eat in the backyard, and ask Donghui to serve the food slowly, and delay as much as possible!" ”

Although full of doubts, Feng Xing still took the order to go, Li Zhi called Tong Lao Liu again: "Sixth uncle, you go to the Ming Wangfu quickly, if the third brother Li Cheng is not there, I want the Ming Wangfu to send someone to lead you to him, and ask him to quickly go to the military department to find Li Qi Li Fanghua, the secretary of the military department, and I will write you a letter and bring it!" ”

When it comes to the issue of possible military transfers, of course, the secretary of the military department will not only listen to the words of a nominal subordinate of Li Zhi, and the reason why he passed through Li Cheng in the Ming Palace, is because there are factions in the army, and Li Cheng has soldiers and horses under him, so he is the most suitable for this trip.

As long as the military department issues an order, it is justified for the king of Linhuai to arrange people in advance, and the king of the county is already a soldier, and those who can be mobilized are all descendants.

Li Zhi returned to the third floor, and wrote a letter very quickly, waiting for the sixth child to leave, and returned to Yang Gaotang's side, Li Zhi roughly talked about the reason for this matter, "You and a few of you are doing business as usual, or go to Qinlong Pavilion for dinner, and when the king of Linhuai County arrives, you can rush there separately, and you don't have to worry about things here!" ”

"What about you?" Yang Gaotang asked.
