Tang Haitai's recent life has suddenly been better, which makes the officials of the governor's yamen a little surprised, think about Tang Haitai not long ago, his face is depressed, there is not much silver in his hand, it is impossible to go to the restaurant or the green building at any time, often stay alone in the house and drink alcohol, and getting drunk is a very common thing.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Tang Haitai to start becoming chic, he went out with his head held high every day, and he didn't look drunk when he came back, although he still had the smell of wine on his body, but with a comfortable temperament, everyone could still see it.

The officials of the governor's yamen can't help but admire Tang Haitai a little, people have such a life, although they say that they have lost their support and can't get the attention of the governor, but they still have silver to use, they can still be chic, everyone knows that with that poor fortune, thinking about going in and out of the restaurant and the green building every day, it is estimated that they can't sell themselves.

In this era, being rich is also an extraordinary ability, the identity is an official, plus money, that is the object of envy of everyone, anyway, Tang Haitai used to be the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the size is also a Beijing official of the seventh grade, to Liaodong, entered the governor's yamen, and is also the governor of the six products, maybe in the future, he will be lucky, and return to the capital. The perception of Tang Haitai is also quietly changing.

Snobbery is a tradition for thousands of years, no one can avoid vulgarity, Tang Haitai, who was once unbearable in the eyes of everyone, Tang Haitai, who was once the laughing stock of everyone, because he had plenty of money, walked and raised his head, and his impression changed like this.

More officials discussed in private that Tang Haitai still enjoys special treatment. If he had been replaced by other officials, who came and went freely like this every day, he could hardly have taken it, and he would have been reprimanded by the governor a long time ago, or even dismissed. But Tang Haitai doesn't have anything, it can be seen that people still have backers, maybe there is an unusual relationship behind it.

All these changes and discussions, Tang Haitai is not aware of the way, but his luck has indeed come, recently, he met a nobleman, this so-called nobleman, the identity is not very good. But he is particularly rich, and he is very generous.

This person is a merchant in Ningyuan City, his name is Kang Tai, and he specializes in fur business.

Doing fur business in Ningyuan City is a very profitable thing, the climate in Ningyuan is very cold in winter, and the winter days are long, and the sales of fur and other things are very good. Don't talk about anything else, it's the officials who came to Liaodong. They all have to buy fur, at least a few fur clothes, which are used to keep out the cold in winter, and the fur business can be done in all seasons, and in summer, because fur is relatively cheaper. So there are quite a few people who buy it, not to mention winter.

But thinking about doing a fur business, it's not so simple, and good fur almost needs to be provided by Orion. Everyone knows that there are not many hunters in the Ming Dynasty, and there are even fewer in Liaodong, on the contrary, there are a lot of hunters in Houjin, and most of those Houjin Tartars are born in Orion, and the hunting skills of people are also good, so the source of the source of goods is mainly in Houjin and Mongolia, and there is a point, to do fur business, you must learn to process the craft, otherwise the fur with blood and a very fishy smell will not be sold.

Kangtai has a very good craftsmanship, the fur in his shop, the processing is very clean, and Kangtai is also specially united with the tailor shop next to him, after he buys fur here, if you want to process and make clothes, you can do it in one step, no need to go to other places to find a tailor.

With such convenience and advantages, Kangtai's business is naturally needless to say, very good.

However, many people don't know that Kangtai is the key person that Qu Qingze pays attention to, which is also because the fur in the Kangtai store, the supply is too sufficient, and the general store can't do this, unless there is a special purchase channel, this channel can only come from Houjin and Mongolia, since the exchange with Houjin Mongolia is close, it is impossible not to contact the Houjin Tartars and the Mongolian tribes, with such convenient conditions, whether it will become the spy of the Houjin Tartars, it is uncertain.

It's a pity that the personnel arranged by Qu Qingze have been observing Kangtai for a long time, and they have not noticed anything abnormal, and after a long time, the attention has decreased, and there are different channels for doing business.

The contact between Tang Haitai and Kangtai is quite legendary.

In the days of gaining power, Tang Haitai didn't pay attention to the merchants in Ningyuan City at all, these businessmen were not as good as his eyes, they were also scholars, Shinong businessmen, the status of businessmen was the lowest, and they were also looked down upon by scholars, of course Tang Haitai would not take the initiative to contact businessmen.

became a frustrated person, Tang Haitai left the governor's yamen for less time, he didn't have much silver on his body, and it was impossible to soak in the restaurant and the green building for a long time.

That is, in the process of drinking, because the guy was too busy and delayed the time to serve the food, Tang Haitai, who was in a depressed mood, couldn't help but lose his temper, anyway, he was still the governor of the yamen, a dignified six-grade official, if the guys in the restaurant dared to put up a stand in front of him, what kind of system would it become.

In fact, losing your temper in the restaurant is despised by everyone, the guys in the restaurant are the lowest level of existence, as long as people don't deliberately make things difficult for you, there is no need to lose your temper at others, but unfortunately Tang Haitai is in a bad mood, he can't care about these at all, and when he loses his temper with the guys in the restaurant, he is even ready to do it.

Tang Haitai's arrogance attracted everyone to watch, and those who were eating in the restaurant, as well as the officers of the Yulin battalion, saw this situation and were ready to come forward to stop it, and at this time, Kang Tai appeared.

Seeing that everyone was coming around, Tang Haitai also knew that what he had done was a little excessive, but he didn't care, it was only when he saw a few officers from the Yulin battalion that Tang Haitai felt that what he was doing was a little troublesome, if these officers made a move, he might encounter a fist, and other officers had a straightforward temper, but they wouldn't care so much.

Kang Tai stood up first, and after dropping the silver, he pulled Tang Haitai out of the restaurant.

At this time, someone was willing to stand up and calm the situation, and Tang Haitai couldn't ask for it.

After leaving the restaurant, Kang Tai took Tang Haitai to his own shop, specially took out the treasured good wine, and drank with Tang Haitai, Tang Haitai was grateful, so he didn't care so much, as for Kang Tai's identity, it was not an important thing, the key was that people helped him out of the siege in the restaurant.

Tang Haitai and Kang Tai became familiar with each other like this.

Speaking of some situations in the capital and Nanjing, Kang Tai is also very familiar with it, and he talked about it, especially mentioning the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, saying that he can linger in those places and be a man in vain, which just said that Tang Haitai's heart is in the heart, thinking of those encounters in Nanjing, those erotic encounters in Qinhuaihe, thinking of those enthusiastic and beautiful girls in Qinhuaihe, Tang Haitai's intestines are going to regret it, because he was not able to grasp it well, what to do in the capital, what to do in Liaodong.

The two soon became friends.

From this day on, Kang Tai has become Tang Haitai's best friend, Kang Tai is slightly older than Tang Haitai, the two talk about the eight characters of birth, and they also worship as brothers of the opposite sex, and the relationship is very good.

Kangtai does have silver, Tang Haitai went to Kangtai's store two times in three days, and every time Kangtai took Tang Haitai to the restaurant and the green building very boldly, and Kangtai was responsible for all the expenses.

After a period of communication, Kang Tai told Tang Haitai that in Ningyuan City, there are actually places to make money, that is, some underground casinos, to say that in the Ming Dynasty, casinos can be operated publicly, but they have to pay a certain amount of taxes, and the amount of taxes is relatively high, the owners who can open casinos are mostly with some background, and the relationship with the government is also good, but after Su Tiancheng came to Liaodong, he ruthlessly suppressed some relatively large casinos, and gambling is harmful. Especially in the case of large gambling, if you don't do it well, you will go bankrupt, in this case, those large casinos will slowly turn underground, or be placed in the teahouse, or in the green building, or even in the restaurant.

When Chen Xinjia served as the governor of Liaodong, he did not pay attention to the affairs of the casino, during that time, the casino in Ningyuan City was relatively prosperous, and later Lu Xiang was promoted to Liaodong, and the casino was rectified again, and some large casinos were hidden underground again.

Tang Haitai rarely gambles, mainly because his mind is on eating, drinking, prostituting women, and has no time to gamble, this time Kangtai introduced gambling to make money, Tang Haitai is also ready to move, these days, always spend Kangtai's silver, he is embarrassed, human relations are mutual, always spend Kangtai, he doesn't invite guests, that can't be said, but his own little money, want to treat, I'm afraid it will be spent at one time.

Under Kang Tai's introduction, Tang Haitai went to the casinos set up in the dark to take a look, it was indeed very lively, there were three religions and nine streams, but Tang Haitai saw several people, all of them won money, and it was a lot of silver, those white silver, soon made Tang Haitai feel that gambling to make money is also a good way, at least he won money, and he can invite Kang Tai to be chic.
