Zhao Xi agreed to invest in a joint factory, which made a stone in Wang Hengyue's heart put down.

After a while, Yang Fangyun came back from Chengdu and brought back a silver ticket of 20,000 taels, Wang Hengyue only regarded it as a profit earned from investing in the stocks of the railway company, but it was not the same thing at all.

It turned out that Qin Guangcheng heard that his brother was in such a hurry to use the money, and he expected that there must be something urgent, so he took out 20,000 taels of silver without thinking about it and asked Yang Fangyun to bring it back, just as he lent it to Wang Hengyue.

Holding this silver ticket in his hand, Wang Hengyue was very emotional.

It is said that businessmen value profit over righteousness, but I have also heard that although the late Qing Dynasty was politically ** and the imperial court was incompetent, there were many businessmen who valued righteousness over profit, and they didn't want to let themselves meet such a person in Sichuan.

There are 20,000 taels of silver in his pocket, which also makes Wang Hengyue's words feel a little better.

After thinking about it, he took out two thousand taels of silver, Yang Fangyun's "Internal Affairs Office" and Yu Lei's "Statistics Office" had just been established, and he didn't give one or two pieces of silver, so he inevitably let the two of them cook without rice, and gave the two of them as funds, and repeatedly told them to make good use of them.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, you don't know that this money is really difficult to handle. In the past, I always saw in the book that millions of taels of silver went out, but when it was my turn, why was the silver so difficult to earn? Seeing that it was time to pay wages again, and although Zhao Xi agreed to invest in the establishment of a factory, he had to come up with a sum of silver. This also costs money, and that also requires money, Wang Hengyue can't wait to get a money factory by himself.

I also thought about getting a silver dollar bureau, but this fat difference will definitely not fall on my head, and I can't get it secretly, the oil and water in it is too big, as long as I do it, it will be exposed, and when the time comes, Li Shenchun and Li Qizhang, who are polite to themselves on the surface, will turn their faces with themselves at that time.

"My lord, the local gentry Guo Shenzhi Zhang Zihe asks to see him."

This report interrupted Wang Hengyue's train of thought.

Guo Shenzhi, Zhang Zihe? After thinking about it, I remembered these two people, Deng Xia had told him before that these two people were wealthy gentry in Rong County, and they had great financial resources, but unfortunately their reputation was not good. When Zhao Xi invited himself, he had met two or three times, but he didn't have any deep friendships.

"Please!" Wang Hengyue straightened his clothes.

"Guo Shenzhi, Zhang Zihe have seen Wang Bang."

"Master Guo, Master Zhang, this gang wants to visit the two of you early, I don't want the two to come first, please." Wang Hengyue put on a smile and invited the two to sit down.

A few people sat on the top, and Guo Zhang and the others said something inconsequential, which was nothing more than praising Wang Hengyue.

Wang Hengyue knew that the two of them had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and they didn't talk to each other, just a few words of humility, and after chatting for a while, Guo Shenzhi finally turned the conversation to the topic:

"Since the Wang Gang brought out the fierce Lu Baoyin, the Rong County has been cleared, and the local fathers and elders are very grateful for the great kindness of the Wang Gang, but this also has a disadvantage."

"Oh?" Wang Hengyue's eyebrows raised.

Zhang Zihe sighed: "Lu Baoyin's elder brother Lu Baogen is also a bandit, entrenched in the area of Jinyan Lake in Guanghan, and he dares to go there even in Chengdu. Since he learned of his brother's death, he let out his words, but all the merchants and pedestrians from Rong County to Chengdu and Guanghan, he will rob them, not only rob, but also leave no chickens and dogs, and he wants to avenge his brother. Shenzhi and I lost several batches of goods like this, and many people died."

Do you want to blame yourself for this? Wang Hengyue frowned: "Brother suppresses bandits, it is the responsibility of the body"

"Don't get me wrong." Guo Shenzhi hurriedly said: "We definitely don't have any intention of blaming the king. It's just that today we have another batch of goods to be transported to Chengdu and Guanghan, the goods are heavy, once there is another mistake, I am afraid that the brothers and sons will only hang themselves. ”

You hang yourself, it's about Lao Tzu's, Lao Tzu may be able to find an excuse to raid your home, Wang Hengyue thought to himself.

Zhang Zihe said with a smile: "The Wang Gang led the bandits first, and then quelled the rebellion, the combat strength of the new army is really extraordinary, but there are Wang team officials in Rong County, and there is no need to worry about bandits." What we mean is that we want to ask the new recruits from Team Wang to help escort us. ”

Wang Hengyue was immediately dissatisfied, is Lao Tzu your bodyguard? But then his eyes rolled: "Master Guo, Master Zhang, it's not that my brother is unwilling, it's just that this new army is the new army of the imperial court, not my Wang Hengyue alone, and my brother has no right to transfer without authorization." ”

Guo Shenzhi and Zhang Zihe glanced at each other, your Wang Gang led the bandits to suppress it, and Yuruixiang's home was also copied, but I didn't see you have any concerns.

Guo Shenzhi took out a silver ticket and respectfully put it in Wang Hengyue's hand: "Wang Bang Take, this is a little bit of our meaning, and please ask Wang Bang to take a smile, and wait until the goods arrive safely, and send another filial piety." ”

Wang Hengyue's eyes squinted, and when he saw that it was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, he snorted coldly in his nose and didn't look at it.

Obviously dissatisfied with the amount, Guo Shenzhi asked cautiously: "How much silver does it cost for the Wang Gang to escort a trip?" ”

"It depends on the cargo of the two of you."

"There are dozens of carts and more than 200,000 goods, which is really significant."

Wang Hengyue thought about it for a long time in his heart: "My brother risked the punishment of his boss to send troops, and he was really risking his future, one of them. Second, once the troops are dispatched, the hard-earned money of the soldiers will be counted, so let them run in vain? There are also guns and bullets to be prepared, in case of encountering bandits, if the brothers' manpower is damaged, it is inevitable to give a pension of silver, which is calculated, without a few thousand taels of silver, it is really impossible to send soldiers. ”

said, and didn't talk nonsense with them: "Half of it, I will take half of the total value of your goods, if the two of you agree, the brothers will start preparing immediately!" ”

Guo Shenzhi and Zhang Zihe gasped, expecting a thousand taels of silver to be sent away, but the heart of this Wang Gang's gang is too dark, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is half a percent, which is a full 10,000 taels of silver!

Wang Hengyue smiled, but enlightened them: "Two, since Lu Baogen is so rampant, the two of you still dare to run away from the goods, I think there must be huge profits to be made in it, otherwise why take this risk?" The profit earned is only a few and a half percent. In case of robbery, there will be no return. Now take out this 10,000 taels of silver, and the brothers guarantee that the goods of the two will arrive safely! ”

This is also true, now that the government in Chengdu and other places is busy with the revolutionary party riots, who has time to care about any businessmen and bandits?

As long as the goods can be transported peacefully, the 10,000 taels of silver are worth it, and if Wang Hengyue is asked to escort them in the future, it will be easy to speak.

After discussing for a while, Guo Zhang and the others gritted their teeth and agreed.

Wang Hengyue stood up with a smile and said: "The two are so refreshing, and the brothers are not ambiguous, please go back first, the brothers will send elite soldiers and strong generals to be ready to escort at any time, when the two leave, the brothers will send troops!" ”
