Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui first rushed to the Sihai Restaurant and waited for Su Tiancheng, they also knew that this conversation was very important, after all, vital interests were involved, and no one would be negligent.

Seeing Su Tiancheng enter the private room, the two hurriedly got up and saluted.

They originally wanted to greet them at the door of the restaurant, but Su Tiancheng didn't want them to do so.

"Boss Song, Boss Wan, it's Layue soon, it's the time when business is booming, and it is difficult for some strong people to ask you to move to Henan Mansion at this moment."

Song Sijun immediately spoke.

"Don't say that, my lord, I'm ready to go at any time."

"Well, I still want to thank you, the conditions of Henan Mansion are incomparable with Jiangning County, after you pass, I'm afraid you will have to prepare to endure hardships, Jiangning County's business, or don't completely abandon it, you can open a branch here, especially Boss Wan, Su Sufang is very famous, and he has to send some goods to the capital every year."

Wan Chenggui didn't understand for a while, in his opinion, moving to Henan Mansion must take away the guys here, these people are very familiar with it, and it is also handy to use.

"I think, Su Sufang, you can leave most of the personnel and follow them to Henan Mansion, but some backbones are fine, and the guys you need can be hired in Henan Mansion, which also reduces the trouble on the way, Boss Wan should not give up the business in Jiangning County, it would be a pity."

Wan Chenggui finally understood the meaning, it turned out that he went to Henan Mansion to expand his business in the past.

This requires a lot of courage, of course, with Su Tiancheng's support, there will never be any big problems.

The core question. Su Tiancheng has never made it clear that after these businessmen arrived in Henan Mansion, how much task they undertook, to put it bluntly, that is, how much silver they needed to give to Jiangning. This is the most important thing, because the amount of silver needed every year is too much, and it is difficult to exceed the limit of what they can bear.

This is also a problem that Su Tiancheng has always considered, and it is also something that needs to be clarified today.

Hundreds of years later, such patterns abound, such as when some countries elect presidents, and there is always a fierce competition between the candidates before the election. You need to canvass votes, and these require expenses and money, so there are big conglomerates that come forward to support it, provide funds and even personnel, but this support has a very clear condition, that is, after the candidate wins the election. Policies must be put in place to take direct care of these consortia. Let the consortium earn more money.

Not to mention whether this kind of model is appropriate, Su Tiancheng feels that under the current situation, the use of this model can get the greatest support. It doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Between him and Song Sijun, Wan Chenggui and others, this is also the mode of exchange, but under the current situation, all the initiative is in his own hands. Song Sijun and others have no qualifications to bargain, after all, it is still a feudal society, and the status of businessmen is still the lowest.

Su Tiancheng went straight to the topic.

"Boss Song, Boss Wan, the cooperation between us, not a day or two, some words, I will say it directly, since you cooperate with Jiangning Battalion, then you need to make a real contribution, I have never talked about the silver before, I didn't expect to leave Jiangning County so soon, I'm afraid your preparation is not so sufficient, although you say that everything is ready, in fact, it may not be, it is the Spring Festival soon, the time to earn silver is up, and you are all ready."

Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui looked at each other and did not speak, obviously acquiescing.

They also knew that cooperation with the Jiangning camp could not be completely equal, and it was impossible for them to know how much the Jiangning camp would need, for example, how much expenditure the Jiangning camp would need.

"The businessmen contacted by the two of you may not necessarily follow them to Henan Mansion, this is also a normal situation, there is nothing strange, after all, not every businessman has such courage."

"The price I offered, it is also very clear, next year, you will at least take out about 1.2 million taels of silver, this is a lot of silver, as far as I know, you have contacted the merchants, there are eighteen, plus you, a total of twenty, including four salt merchants, I gave the conditions, each salt merchant, bear 150,000 taels of silver, the rest of the businessmen are responsible, if you can bear such expenses, follow Jiangning Ying to Henan Mansion, if you can't bear it, just say it, I won't force it. ”

Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui didn't answer immediately, they didn't have many problems with themselves, the key was whether other businessmen could agree to such conditions.

"You can think about it, give me a specific reply in three days, you can't postpone it, if you agree, you must immediately arrange the affairs of Jiangning County, set off to Henan Mansion, and take root first."

After more than an hour, the rest of the merchants came to the Four Seas Restaurant one after another.

These businessmen are all preparing to follow to Henan Mansion.

Seeing that everyone had basically arrived, Su Tiancheng found an excuse and left the private room, letting Song Sijun, Wan Chenggui and many businessmen discuss.

If everyone stays for dinner, it means that this matter is done, and if there is a businessman who leaves under the pretext, it is a feeling of embarrassment.

With such a treatment, everyone has face and will not be embarrassed.

At the time of the unitary, Su Tiancheng entered the private room on time.

No merchant left, and everyone remained in the private room.

The wine and food were about to come up, and taking advantage of this gap, Song Sijun spoke.

"My lord, we have already discussed and agreed to your terms."

Song Sijun spoke very simply, not dragging mud and water.

Su Tiancheng's face showed a smile, this time he raised 1.2 million taels of silver, which solved a big problem, of course, the expenses of the Jiangning camp need about two million taels of silver every year, and there is a gap of 800,000 taels, and he still needs to find a way.

Two million taels of silver, it is impossible to ask Song Sijun and other businessmen to bear all of them, that is not appropriate, and it is unreasonable.

After all, there are businessmen in Henan Province, besides, Henan Province has thirteen counties under the jurisdiction of one state, such a scale is incomparable with Jiangning County, as long as it develops with heart, it is not possible to get money.

After the wine and food came up, Su Tiancheng first picked up the wine glass and expressed his gratitude to the merchants.

After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere quickly rose, this time drinking, without any interference, everyone was very happy, and the banquet lasted for an hour.

Back at the mansion, the servant said that Gu Hengbo was waiting in the house, and there might be something to say.

After Su Tiancheng entered the house, Gu Hengbo quickly walked to Su Tiancheng's side, helped him take off his coat, and turned the coals more vigorously. She is very skilled in these waiting methods.

Su Tiancheng also thought about it, and confessed to Gu Hengbo.

"Meisheng, I'm going to Henan Mansion soon, it's definitely not as good as Nanjing City, you follow me to Henan Mansion, I'm afraid you'll have to prepare to endure hardships, if you feel unaccustomed, go directly to the capital."

"The concubine will also follow Lang Jun when she dies."

Su Tiancheng was choked up, he couldn't imagine that Gu Hengbo's attitude was so firm.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll go to Meilou and find my mother directly, I'm afraid this time, my mother will vomit blood in anger."

Su Tiancheng said it in a ridiculous tone, but in fact, he also admitted that the bustard mother had suffered a loss, and after so many years of hard work, nothing fell in the end.

"The concubine also followed, and the concubine has to say goodbye to her sisters."

On the first day of December, early in the morning, Su Tiancheng took Gu Hengbo to the Qinhuai River.

They were accompanied to the Qinhuai River by a hundred soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.

The Qinhuai River is indeed very beautiful, although it is a cold winter, but the beautiful scenery and fame here still attract a large number of literati and tourists.

Early morning is the time for Qinhuai River to rest, and there should not be many people.

This time, Su's prediction was inaccurate.

The girls of the Qinhuai River are all standing outside, and countless girls on both sides of the river form a peculiar landscape.

It's not the first time Su Tiancheng has seen such a scene, the last time he picked up Liu Ruyi, it was also like this.

The bustard's mother had already known the news, and although she was very bitter in her heart, she had to have a smile on her face.

Su Tian became Gu Hengbo, and actually used the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to surround the soldiers and horses of the five cities in Nanjing City, this kind of courage is not something that every man can do.

In the envious eyes of many sisters, Gu Hengbo entered the eyebrow floor again.

She suddenly had a trace of sadness, she had lived here for more than ten years, and she was naturally a little reluctant to leave.

Over the past few years, Gu Hengbo has also accumulated a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

She didn't need to clean up by herself, and the soldiers who followed her would naturally follow her instructions and clean up everything.

Many sisters, at this time, have entered the Meilou, they congratulated Gu Hengbo at the same time, but also said goodbye to Gu Hengbo, the fate between them is completely different, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future.

When the bustard mother gritted her teeth and took out Gu Hengbo's deed, her heart was dripping blood, after so many years of cultivation, don't think about getting a lot of rewards.

Su Tiancheng took the deed and waited for Gu Hengbo downstairs.

Soon, the sergeant carried a few boxes downstairs, and Gu Hengbo walked in the middle.

After seeing Gu Hengbo come down, Su Tiancheng stood up.

"Mom has taken care of Meisheng for so many years, it's very hard, I should still be grateful, this is 10,000 taels of silver, please accept it, Meisheng, talk to Mom, I'm waiting outside."

When Gu Hengbo came out, there were still tears on his face.

Su Tiancheng took out 10,000 taels of silver, which she didn't expect, and it was said that Su Tiancheng didn't need to take out the silver.

All the way, Gu Hengbo was silent, sitting in the carriage.

After returning to the mansion, Gu Hengbo threw himself into Su Tiancheng's arms again and cried for a long time. (To be continued......)
