When the young man in white saw Guan Kunyu coming, he waved his hand to let the warblers and Yanyan who were sticking to him scatter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"In Xiaqiu Yilong, I have heard everything about you from the fourth uncle, and the thing is indeed a good thing, so Guan Gongzi said directly how much silver he wanted."

Guan Kunyu was very surprised.

One is surprised by Qiu Yilong's age, and the other is surprised by his straightforwardness.

After being surprised, Guan Kunyu said, "Silver...... I don't lack it, can I replace it with something else? ”

Qiu Yilong patted his head: "Blame me!" I almost forgot that Guan Gongzi made a lot of money this time, and a little money was indeed not taken seriously. In this case, what Guan Gongzi wants, let's just say it. ”

Guan Kunyu said: "This is not in a hurry, I want to ask Qiu Gongzi, how do you plan to use it after you get my sixteen-spindle spinning machine?" ”

"Does it matter?"

"It's important."

The reason why Guan Kunyu asked a question was not to interfere with the other party, but to take the opportunity to investigate and see if the other party was a smart person who was worth cooperating.

There must be a ladder to climb the building, do it yourself to save money, but too troublesome and waste of time, if someone sells ready-made may wish to give up some money to buy, not for anything else, just for a convenience. But if you find a rotten and bad ladder, it won't be beautiful, so it's better to choose in advance, after all, he is no longer in a state of hunger without cards in his hand.

Qiu Yilong hesitated, but still spoke.

"If it were an ordinary person, I would probably hide it and cover it for myself, but I think it's stupid to do this! After all, the machine is not a unique skill that can be hidden and tucked, not to mention Guan Gongzi's spinning machine, and a discerning person can understand the joints at a glance. If others want to know, as long as they buy off a few workers, they can't hide it. So I'm going to take your spinning machine out for a personal favor. ”

"Do a favor?"

Guan Kunyu showed an interested expression.

"Yes, silver has a price, but human favor is priceless. Usually there are not many opportunities to make those old things owe favors, but now that I finally sent one to the door, how can I leave it alone? Qiu Yilong said with a smile, "I'll invite those old men together, and then show your spinning machine in front of them!" ”

Guan Kunyu gave a thumbs up and said: "Hehe, so generously shown in the light, they can't pull down their faces to imitate, and when they are uncomfortable, tell them that you can use this thing as you like!" This favor naturally fell! ”

Qiu Yilong smiled and clapped his hands: "That's right!" These old guys rely on their old age, and they all rely on me to sell the old, and they take a lot of advantage from our Qiu family, and after this time, I want to see if they can pull down their old faces and snatch food from my bowl again! ”

Guan Kunyu is still quite satisfied with Qiu Yilong's plan, at least the other party is not a stupid person who inherits the family business but does not learn and does not know how to do it, plus they at least did not unload the grinding and kill the donkey of the Shi family, this kind of person is still worth cooperating.

Guan Kunyu also laughed: "Yes, Young Master Qiu is really calculating!" Can such a good thing take me with me? ”

However, the object that Guan Kunyu wants to cooperate with is not only limited to the Qiu family, he also hopes to establish contact with the entire cloth business circle, even if it is just a familiar face, although in this way, according to the small body of the Guan family, it is likely to be used as a pawn by the other party, but after all, in the future, the cloth merchants in Songjiang and even Nanzhili are the top forces, and relying on them can make the Guan family have no worries about the development.

And more importantly, according to the information of later generations, the style of Songjiang cloth merchants is quite compatible with him Guan Kunyu!

In the future, when the ceremonial eunuch Sun Long supervised the taxation of Zhejiang, he was stationed in Suzhou, arbitrarily levied and extorted tyranny, and increased the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which caused the majority of machine owners to shut down factories and stop production, which seriously damaged the interests of cloth merchants.

So there was the 6th day of the 6th month of June in the 29th year of Wanli, the "Suzhou People's Rebellion", a group of unemployed weavers will throw Sun Long's attaché, tax official Huang Jianjie six or seven people into the river, kill the tax collector, set fire to the residence of the tax stick Tang Xin and others, and surround the tax supervisor yamen! Fortunately, Sun Long escaped quickly, otherwise he would have lost half his life! In the end, this lawsuit went directly to the Wanli Emperor!

As a result, under the interference of the activities of a group of cloth merchants, only one "bandit leader" Ge Cheng was arrested! Everyone else went home and went to sleep!

It stands to reason that there are people who died when they said such a big thing, and they all alarmed the emperor, after all, it was not someone else who was dealing with it, it was the emperor's house slave, and everyone else was released, so why should you be punished for the first evil!?

But in fact, Ge Cheng was imprisoned for ten years like a holiday with good food and drink, and then he was released!

That's right, it's released! That's ten years in prison!

Murder and arson, in addition to rare crimes such as rebellion in ancient times, the two most serious crimes he Ge Cheng did it, but he was stunned that there was no!

Although public opinion was in the hands of literati at that time, and it has always been difficult to deal with eunuchs and tax supervisors, it is impossible to say that there is no shadow of cloth merchants behind this.

is ruthless to the enemy, and knows how to protect the shortcomings and invite people to buy people's hearts and minds to their own people, this approach is already quite authentic, and if you do some other things that are cold, you may push Ge Cheng out as a substitute for the dead ghost.

Do you really think it's easy to rescue a person who has been registered in front of the emperor!? If you don't throw out a huge amount of silver, and don't sell countless favors, can people be saved casually!?

Therefore, whether these cloth merchants are out of their own reputation or not, the result of their performance is to be extremely righteous towards their own people!

This is indeed a very reassuring point.

Hearing Guan Kunyu's words, Qiu Yilong's face instantly fell.

"What do you want?"

"Qiu Gongzi wants favors, I want connections, just take this opportunity to form a good relationship with you. Speaking of which, the condition that I give the spinning machine to Qiu Gongzi is that I want to borrow your connections. ”

"Borrow my connections?" Qiu Yilong stared at Guan Kunyu up and down for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect that we are still fellow believers, but you are much darker than me!" I'm just trying to make a few old things owe me a favor, and you really want to lend my hand to make connections! You have to know, I am an ordinary person who has connections and can't touch it, even if I haven't heard of it! ”

Guan Kunyu said with a smile: "That's why I want it, it can really save me a lot of things if I have Qiu Gongzi to pull it, otherwise I'm afraid it will take a few more years to build these connections, and the people who are really waiting are anxious." ”

Qiu Yilong looked strange: "What do you mean by connections, connections in a county, connections in a prefecture, or higher?" You actually think that you can have it in a few years, maybe you just want connections in a county, right? Do you think your machine is worth so much? ”

"Hehe, Qiu Gongzi misunderstood, I'm talking about all of Qiu Gongzi's connections, I think with my ability, it won't take many years to have Qiu Gongzi's general net worth, and the natural connections should be commensurate, right? Of course, for now, what I want to ask Qiu Gongzi to help is - test Xiucai! ”

"In just a few years, we will be able to have the net worth of our Qiu family!? How dare you say that, you kid! Qiu Gongzi laughed and said, "However, I always deal with those lifeless bad old men on weekdays, it's really boring, and it's interesting to see a character like you, okay, I'll help you get a show." ”
