"I know that Brother Hu is a big businessman, and there is no shortage of silver in his hands, but what he lacks is projects that can make money make money. Brother Hu, am I right? Yang Xiaoshan smiled slyly, this kind of official businessman has the most official silver, how to make the money appreciate and obtain more wealth is the most headache for Hu Xueyan.

"What Chang Duwei said is that the most profitable thing for the villain is the pawnshop, but this pawnshop faces many poor people, although it makes money, but after all, it has a bad reputation and is scolded. If there were other good investment channels, the small ones wouldn't do that. After all, Hu Xueyan's business has become bigger, and he also cares about reputation, this poor person can't survive when he comes to the pawnshop, and he is hated for making money from these people.

"Then has Brother Hu considered investing in some fields?" Yang Xiaoshan poured tea for Hu Xueyan.

"I'll come, I'll come." Hu Xueyan hurriedly took the teapot and poured the tea himself, "Don't hide it from Captain Chang, the villain does have this idea, in ordinary times, the field is the most real thing, and it is the safest investment, but in this year, the army is in chaos, and the long hair is big, and the field is worthless." If one day the long hair comes, everything will be finished, and the land is not an object, and you can't take it away if you want to. Hu Xueyan stood up and poured tea for Yang Xiaoshan in turn.

"Brother Hu only knows one thing but doesn't know the other, the field I'm talking about is not a field for growing grain, but a field for 。。。。。。" Yang Xiaoshan deliberately sold a pass.

"What is ?。。。。。。?" Hu Xueyan hurriedly asked.

"This." Yang Xiaoshan compared a posture of smoking opium.

"Big smoke? It's against the law. Hu Xueyan was taken aback.

"It's illegal, but is it in the hands of the imperial court? So many people smoked openly and secretly, and they didn't see the government squeak. How did the opium of the foreigners come from? It's not all smuggled in, and the court didn't fart. Yang Xiaoshan slapped the table and said.

"Yes, since it was shelled by the foreigners' ironclad ships, no one has taken care of the opium anymore." Hu Xueyan said that after the First Opium War, the Qing court was frightened by the British, opium smuggling was rampant, and the court was powerless and did not dare to take care of it.

"How much silver does this little opium let the imperial court flow into the hands of foreigners, and if this continues, will there still be money in the imperial treasury? So sooner or later this problem will have to be solved. Yang Xiaoshan said slowly.

"How to solve it? We can't beat the foreigners, and the foreigners' ironclad ships are very powerful. Hu Xueyan shook his head and said in disbelief.

"Why rely on war, only one policy is needed to solve it, so that foreigners can no longer earn so much opium money from us." Yang Xiaoshan smiled mysteriously.

"What policy is so good?" Hu Xueyan didn't believe it.

"The method is very simple, just let us grow our own. The opium of England was cultivated in India and transported thousands of miles to China, which was costly. If we grow it ourselves, the cost will be much lower, as long as the opening of the imperial court is opened, but in a few years we can squeeze out all his British opium, the opium market is so big, how many fields do you say we need to plant? Yang Xiaoshan pointed out the crux of the problem at once, as soon as the local opium was on the market, all British opium would have to be unsalable, and finally rolled out of China.

"Kung Pao Chicken is here." A guy shouted and walked in with a dish in his hand.

"Let's try our restaurant's new dishes." Yang Xiaoshan said politely.

"Okay." Although Hu Xueyan dealt with it in his mouth, his mind was all on Yang Xiaoshan's words just now, "What does Chang Duwei mean that this opium will be legalized soon?" ”

"Yes, I guess it won't be long." Yang Xiaoshan guessed correctly, the Second Opium War was about to break out, and then the foreign powers would force the Qing court to completely legalize the opium trade.

Hu Xueyan pondered for a while, if it is indeed as Yang Xiaoshan said, this kind of policy wealth cannot be let go, and the profits are huge.

"Brother Hu, you think, there are not many places in China where opium can be grown, only Yunnan and Sichuan are suitable, and then consider other issues such as convenient transportation, then even less. If you can lay out in advance and become a monopoly, then you don't want to do it, and the rent alone will be soft on you. It's hard to have such a high-return thing, do you think my idea is worth 10,000 taels of silver? Yang Xiaoshan smiled and gave Hu Xueyan a chopstick dish.

At this time, Hu Xueyan was excited when he heard this, this is indeed a good opportunity to make a fortune, Yunnan and Sichuan are far away from the Changmao War Zone, and there is no major war disaster.

The opium market is so huge, even if opium cannot be grown for the time being, it will not lose money if you buy land, so where can you find such a profitable and loss-free business? Not to mention planting opium in the future, the profits are too great, and it is a shocking fortune.

To be honest, at the beginning, Yang Xiaoshan was not so important in Hu Xueyan's heart, at least not as important as Ding Baozhen. He has inquired about this person, although he is the grandson of the former governor of Hubei, his home has been broken by long hair. Even if he is married to the monk and the royal family now, he is only a son-in-law, his title is low, and he has no official position, so he has no value to win over in Hu Xueyan's heart, but after talking to him, Yang Xiaoshan's status has increased sharply.

"This person is very talented, while he has not yet soared, he must take a good look. This opportunity is missed, and people will no longer look down on themselves when they are in a high position in the future. Hu Xueyan said silently in his heart, his head turned very fast, he took the official and business route, and investors are more important than investing in property.

"Based on Captain Chang's words, you account for a portion of these fields." Hu Xueyan is a big deal, this component is measured in tens of thousands, and he directly gave one component to Yang Xiaoshan, in order to envelop him.

Yang Xiaoshan was secretly surprised, this Hu Xueyan's eyesight was indeed high, and he made him bet on himself in three or two sentences. It is no wonder that the business became bigger and bigger in the future, and he became a businessman who was rich enough to rival the country.

Hu Xueyan needs Yang Xiaoshan, and Yang Xiaoshan in turn needs Hu Xueyan, he is fighting alone in the capital, and it is not possible to do it without manpower, with Hu Xueyan's silver support, his hands and feet will be much more convenient.

So Yang Xiaoshan nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Hu's wrong love, then Chang Mou will laugh and accept it." "Yang Xiaoshan is also not polite, this silver is earned for nothing, don't be in vain.

Seeing that Yang Xiaosan accepted his bribe, Hu Xueyan was overjoyed, he was most afraid that people would not accept his money, and he could get acquainted with a talent like Yang Xiaoshan, and this time he came to the capital in vain.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Hu Xueyan put a few diced chickens in his mouth and praised them.

Yang Xiaoshan saw that he was happy to eat, and his heart was also happy, and the two talked happily. Yang Xiaoshan treats Hu Xueyan equally and does not look down on him as a businessman, Hu Xueyan has been in the business world for many years, and he is also a person with a story.

In the end, it was really late, so Hu Xueyan got up to say goodbye.

Yang Xiaoshan sent him to the door, and the two were about to say goodbye. Yang Xiaoshan said suddenly: "Once the foreigners' opium business can't be done, there will be much more silver in this world than now, and the silver will not be as valuable as it is now, Brother Hu, what do you think?" ”

Hu Xueyan stumbled after hearing this, and almost fell, Yang Xiaoshan's words are equivalent to giving himself a large sum of money, which is also a huge business opportunity. "This Chang Du Lieutenant must give the highest priority, and he will definitely become a member of the imperial court in a short time." Hu Xueyan said goodbye to Yang Xiaoshan, and put Yang Xiaoshan's value in the first place of all the people he needed to encircle.
