Luminous Lou is the most prosperous restaurant in Gaochang, there is no one; The wine is full of wealth, heroes and heroes, and sassy artists all linger, staging scenes of talented and beautiful women or stories of spending a lot of money. As long as you open your mouth and can afford to pay, no matter what kind of strange requests, the luminous building will satisfy you, there is a rich merchant who is drunk and wants a thousand miles, but when he wakes up, a black horse is led downstairs, chestnut hair like satin, galloping and roaring.

The original owner of the luminous building is the Zhang family, the first scholar family in Gaochang City, and the current owner is the Kan family, in the Yushan Hall on the second floor, Kan Shuiduo, the head of the Kan family, looked helplessly at the young man in front of him, Yang Chong, the guard of Gaochang County. The Kan family, like the Zhang family and the Koji family, has been the lord of Gaochang and knows too well the desolation of the high places; In that year, Kan Bozhou was set up as the king of Gaochang by Rouran, and in less than 30 years of reign, the brothers were in turmoil, and the government was turbulent, until the last king Kan Shougui was killed by Gaoche King Afu Zhiluo, and Kan's Gaochang perished.

The lessons of the Zhang clan are in front of him, and Kan Shuiduo's attitude is very low-key: "Lord County Shou, I'm worried about the Koji clan and the Qiang clan. ”

Kan Shuiduo was a little confused, the Zhang family's real estate was in the city center of Gaochang and Jiaohe, and it was worth a lot of money; The luminous building where the two were located made money day by day, but Yang Chong insisted on exchanging these industries for the Kesu Valley Iron Works and five copper and iron mines in the hands of the Koji family, Kan family, and Qiang family. Kan Shuiduo is clear about the situation of the Kesu Valley Iron Works, Yang Chong paid the price to buy two iron works, of course, as the only iron factory in Gaochang County, the premium is normal, but it is too much to make people panic.

Yang Chong's purpose was to completely control the production and supply of iron in the hands of the government, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of money, but it was the Zhang family's industry, and Yang Chong couldn't swallow it for himself, so it was better to do something useful. Yang Chong's eyes shone brightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he sneered: "Kan family master, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, for me, the bargaining chips paid are worthy of conscience, and tomorrow I will appoint Kan Zhong as the Cheng of Gaochang County." ”

Yang Chong offered Kan Zhong as the Cheng of Gaochang County and Qiang Junjian as the lord of Yancheng, if it weren't for the fact that the Koji clan was still in the stage of suppression, Yang Chong didn't care about giving the Koji family an official position, after all, in Gaochang County, Yang Chong still needed the support of the local heroes. Kan Zhong was originally just a city lord in Shichang City, in charge of the castle with less than 1,000 soldiers and civilians, and he was transferred to Gaochang as a county leader, which was definitely reused; Kan Shuiduo opened his mouth, wanting to justify, but he didn't know where to start, he said that he was worried about the Koji family and the Qiang family, and he couldn't change his words immediately.

Kan Shuiduo was still worried about the other clans in Gaochang City. Yang Chong's acquisition of the iron factory mine at a premium is to buy it, especially when the Kan family gets the luminous building, which obviously becomes the target of the public, and the other heroes who have not even touched the side are thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh. The threat of rumors has come out, Kan Shuiduo is really right, he is the head of the wealthy family, but if there is a little way, he doesn't want to be low, but among the wealthy families in Gaochang, the Kan family is the weakest.

Kan Shuiduo struggled in his heart for a long time, and could only thank Yang Chong and said, "Thank you for your promotion of Kan Zhong." ”

Yang Chong smiled faintly and said: "I'm a little disappointed, according to the strength of your Kan family, even if you don't have a great talent, you don't want to soar into the sky, but you should always give it a try when you have the opportunity, I didn't expect the Kan family to be so enterprising." The Kan family is mainly really embarrassed, I can find someone else to take charge of the luminous building, and Kan Zhong's appointment can also be postponed until the head of the family thinks it is appropriate. ”

Kan Shuiduo secretly slandered that if he threw away the fat sent to his eyes, the Kan family would immediately turn the world upside down, and Kan Zhong would definitely regard himself, the head of the family, as an enemy, then he didn't know what to do; Besides, what it means to reject Yang Chong's kindness, Kan Shuiduo knew it clearly in his stomach. Kan Shuiduo is in his forties, slightly fat, and ruddy, but now the sweat on his head is not hot.

Yang Chong smiled and said: "Master Kan, you go and arrange it first, Yang Duhu is about to arrive, just give me an answer before I leave in the evening." ”

Kan Shuiduo sighed and went out with a wry smile, and Kou Jiuhui asked, "What is he worried about?" ”

"Prestige. Bitter children who have no money and no power want to find a powerful father; Rich and powerful families began to covet the false name of etiquette. Yang Chong's face became cold and said: "This is the habit of the family, I want to be a bitch, and I want to set up an archway; But I don't allow it, I can give the Kan family a big windfall, but after taking this money, you must have the consciousness to contribute to the government. I want them to know that Gaochang County is not Gaochang County. ”

Kou Jiuhui understood that Yang Chong's every step was planned and moved, cautious to the subtleties, just like today, it seemed that he was holding a banquet in the Luminous Building, in fact, except for Kan Shuiduo, there was no Gaochang person in the entire Luminous Mansion tonight, and there was not even a dancing girl. The original dancers of the luminous building were either sold to the magnates of Gaochang City, or they were incorporated into the slavery of the Tuntian camp.

There was only one thing that Yang Chong discussed with Yang Yichen in the evening, that is, to establish a bean paste Qing workshop in Pu Shihai, with Hongnong Yang accounting for 40%, Yang Yichen accounting for 40%, Yang Gongren and Yang Chong each accounting for 10%. This is a method that Yang Chong has thought of a long time ago, Yang Yichen read the recipe, and immediately understood what Yang Chong meant, soybean sauce is a condiment made from fresh meat, seafood salt, Shanshan and the end of the local people have the habit of eating meat, there is no shortage of meat sources; Coupled with the large number of Tuyuhun and slaves controlled by the Metropolitan Protectorate, the labor force does not need money, and it is almost a hundred profits.

Cui Junsu, who came with him, was Yang Yichen's right-hand man, and said a little angrily: "What we produce, only forty percent of the profits? ”

Cui Junsu is not worried that Yang Yichen will eat alone, it is precisely because he knows that Yang Yichen will give money to his subordinates, so he hopes to get more shares, Yang Chong said with a smile: "Master Cui doesn't know, soybean sauce is just the first step, I will experiment in Gaochang Another condiment called fish sauce, which is made of pickled fish, will be sent to Pu Shihai in a month at most." The Hongnong Yang family, led by Yang Xuangan, was responsible for the workshop production and promotion in Luoyang, Chang'an, and Yang Gongren was responsible for the tribute. ”

Cui Junsu was immediately relieved, Hongnong Yang was in charge of the workshop production, which meant that the materials and labor would be paid; There is no end to the fish in the sea of Pu, and the business of soybean paste has a long history. Yang Yichen laughed and said, "Yang Chong, if Yang Xuangan dumps us, you have to go it alone with me." ”

Whether it is a Xianbei person or a Han person, there is no one who does not understand interests, Yang Chong said with a smile: "Uncle Yichen, rest assured, if it is produced in other places, one will not be able to produce such a large amount, and the other will be at least three or four times more expensive." If the clan doesn't do it, we'll build another workshop, and by the way, I'll also bring you a piece of armor, which was made by a famous artist, I'm a literati, it's useless to ask for it, you can just use it. ”

Yang Chong's gift is a piece of caramel, after Yang Yichen tried to shoot, he saw that the crossbow arrow could not be shot, he was quite satisfied, this kind of treasure armor is hard to find, and people are willing to sell it if they want to sell it for 10,000 yuan. The guards took the bow and crossbow and the treasure armor and went out, everyone sat down with a smile, and after the wine and food came up, Yang Chongcai said to Yang Yichen: "Uncle, there has been a person in the clan called Yang Buzhi, I will let him follow you back to Puzhihai to plan, and then return to Gaochang when the workshop is built." In addition, the sea of cattails must be controlled in your hands, otherwise once the raw materials are missing, it will not be able to turn back. ”

There is natural salt in the sea of cattails, and it costs no money to install it directly, so it costs a lot to buy salt; Yang Yichen said: "After returning to Pu Zhihai, I will move the capital protection mansion to Pu Hainan City to see who dares to do more things, and in addition, I will sponsor Jun Su as the county guard of the last county, so that Yang Buzhi can also open a workshop there." ”

Cui Junsu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Yang Chong smiled, just persuaded the dishes diligently, Yang Yichen and Cui Junsu still wanted to hold the workshop in their hands, this is none of their business, and when discussing with Yang Gongren, they made it very clear that this kind of business should not be done; Once Yang Yichen and himself left the Western Regions, it was the end of the bean sauce sale.
