Chapter 56: The Ironworks That Are Easy to Get

Wu Chenglong also quipped: "We have come all the way with sincerity, if Shopkeeper Yang is not welcome, we will go back." ”

Yang Hao knew that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly made amends, leading the three of them into the inner study.

After Meng Yao entered the room, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back, looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, played with the antiques on the antique shelf, and finally stopped in front of the huge map in the conference room, looked at it carefully for a while, and snorted: "It looks like this, if General Yang doesn't mind, throw out all these antiques and calligraphy and paintings in the house, and I will give you a new set." ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "My sister's good intentions and little brother have received it, and the younger brother, as an official of the imperial court, doesn't dare to talk to my sister." ”

When Meng Yao heard this, he snorted in his nose and sneered: "What do you mean, I'm afraid that some people will say that you are greedy and self-fattening, you really think that you are a court official in your eyes, everything here should be thrown out, although it is not worth much, but you can't afford it in a few lifetimes with your official salary." ”

Yang Hao was speechless, and his face turned red unconsciously,

Wu Chenglong smiled and said: "Although the official position of the prince is not big, he is also the parent official of tens of thousands of people in Fengzhou, and he is also a general who guards the door for the country. ”

Chong Yangji, who has always disliked talking, also took over and said: "Yes, we have been talking all the way, and being able to come up with such a good idea for Yongchang Company shows that the son is willing to work hard, and compared with back then, it is really like two people." ”

"They're all helping you, it's time for you." After Meng Yao turned around, he sat opposite Yang Hao, his eyes were like a puddle of clear water, staring at Yang Hao with a smile, Yang Hao was in a panic, pretending to drink tea to avoid Meng Yao's direct gaze,

"Son, let's talk about investing in Yongchang Company." Wu Chenglong cut to the point,

"Okay, okay." Yang Hao hurriedly raised his head, because he was panicked, his hands trembled slightly, and he poured some tea on the table.

"I don't know if my cousin has anything else to explain to my younger brother." The plan for the preparation of Yongchang Company, Yang Hao has already sent someone to Meng Yao, the plan is written in great detail, and Yang Hao has made detailed notes on every place where there may be doubts, I believe that Meng Yao will not have difficulties in understanding.

Sure enough, Meng Yao didn't ask for any details, but said bluntly: "I want to be the major shareholder of Yongchang, and the absolute majority shareholder, otherwise I would rather not invest a penny." ”

With Meng Yao's temper and wealth, striving to be a major shareholder was originally expected by Yang Hao, but he didn't expect his attitude to be so resolute, and there was no room for bargaining, Yang Hao glanced at Wu Chenglong, hoping that he could stand up and say something and give him room for relaxation, but Wu Chenglong lowered his head and went to drink tea to avoid it,

"It's worthy of doing big business, and he speaks so domineering." Yang Hao smiled wryly, Meng Yao's face was like frost, her eyes were like the sea of unfathomable depth, Yang Hao felt that she was like a clown in front of her, and she was quite unhappy in her heart, so she asked directly: "How much does my sister plan to contribute?" ”

"Add up all the money you raised, and I'll add another 10,000." Meng Yao replied coldly, judging the two of them at random when he entered the door just now,

Yang Hao's face froze, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Wu Chenglong saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he smiled and said: "It's all a family, what difference does it make if someone is the major shareholder, besides this, other things are easy to discuss." ”

Yang Hao smiled bitterly and squeezed out a smile: "If my sister agrees to the two conditions of my younger brother, my younger brother will make my sister the major shareholder." ”

Meng Yao snorted coldly, turned his face sideways and said: "Don't you let me be a major shareholder, your little Fengzhou can have a few dollars if it is smashed and sold, 300,000 or 500,000, such a few small money can still be shouted twice in Fengzhou, what can you do when you get to Luoyang, Chang'an, just throw it into the water and make a 'poof' sound." Yang Hao felt a sense of grievance in his heart that he had never felt before, and he wanted to quarrel with her at will.

But when he raised his head and looked at Meng Yao's face, the anger in his anger suddenly vanished,

Yang Hao smiled wryly: "This little money is nothing in the eyes of my sister, but in my younger brother, it is an astronomical amount." Yang Hao expected that Meng Yao should have never heard of the word "astronomical", and he was about to explain, but Meng Yao opened his mouth: "I guessed what you mean, you want to put Yongchang's headquarters in Feng'an, so that you can look at your little money with peace of mind......"

Yang Hao had to admire Meng Yao's intelligence,

"Joke, are you a child playing as a business, Feng'an, a ghost place where birds don't, you can't even hire a decent shopkeeper, what business is there to do here, dig up the loess and label it as gold to sell." Meng Yao's words became more and more scathing,

Wu Chenglong was afraid that Yang Hao couldn't help but quarrel with Meng Yao, so he hurriedly said: "This matter is very important, let's discuss it later, what about your second condition, son." ”

Yang Hao was angry with Meng Yao, if it wasn't for Wu Chenglong playing a round in time, he might really want to quarrel with her, Yang Hao took several breaths to suppress his anger, pondered for a moment and said: "In the future, the company will increase its shares every three years." ”

Meng Yao sneered and said: "I promise you, I also promise you the previous conditions, I want to see where General Yang got the money to be a major shareholder in three years." ”

Wu Chenglong stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, okay, it's finally done, it's worth the trip." ”

Meng Yao did a big thing, and her mood suddenly became much better, looking at Yang Hao's depressed expression, she laughed unprecedentedly, her eyes smiled like a crooked crescent, and the shallow dimples revealed intoxicating sweetness,

"Uncle Wu, you can talk to him about the rest, I'll go visit Qing'er and Xiaoyu." Meng Yao got up and said to Wu Chenglong, and Chong Yang Ji also stood up and arched his hand: "If the adults don't mind, I want to meet a friend." Yang Hao asked in surprise: "Master Seed has friends in Fengzhou." ”

The anode replied: "The Hedong Qu is my old friend. ”

After the Tiande Rebellion subsided, Qu Chuji's uncle and nephew came to Fengzhou with Yang Hao, Qu Qingquan served in the General Staff Department, Qu Chuji lived in seclusion, raised flowers and grass, and lived idlely.

Yang Hao didn't expect that Chongyang still had a friendship with him, Meng Yao smiled: "Master Chong was a general of the unified army in Hedong Town when he was young, and he has tens of thousands of sergeants under him, which is much more majestic than your General Yang. ”

Yang Hao had long heard that there was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Haotian Trading Company, and he didn't want to be like this, so he said with regret: "It's a pity that Mr. Qu's generation of Masters lived in seclusion in the school, but he didn't want to guide Yang Hao. ”

Meng Yao said unceremoniously: "Your temple is too small, how can it accommodate this great god, Mr. Qu is a generation of celebrities, the sound shocks Hedong, when he was in Hedong Town, he was Liu Qingling's chief staff, and his status is higher than you are now, why should you be driven by grievances, wait for you to become the envoy of the festival." ”

Yang Hao is now accustomed to Meng Yao's way of speaking, direct, scathing, and ugly, at first glance I can't stand it, but there is often insight in the words, it is a celebrity who cherishes his feathers, and there are many people who would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head, Yang Hao even thought that if he had won the Tiande Army with his heart at the beginning, he would be a festival envoy, maybe Qu Chuji and Liu Desan were already helping themselves,

After sending Meng Yao away and planting an anode, Yang Hao asked Wu Chenglong bluntly: "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

Wu Chenglong and Yang Hao have the most dealings with Yang Hao in Haotian Trading Company, and they are also the most familiar with each other.

"One hundred and twenty miles southwest of Yongfeng City, there is a Jiulian Mountain, and there is an iron factory of 10,000 people in the mountain, and I want to ask the prince to send troops to force him to close the door."

Yang Hao's face was a little ugly, there was such a big iron factory hidden in his jurisdiction, and as an official, he didn't even know about it, which was also incredible.

Wu Chenglong saw Yang Hao's surprised face, and said with a slight smile: "Gongzi Ye don't have to be suspicious, this is a black factory underneath, which is run by several retired officials of the Niu Party, which uses slaves to work, and rarely interacts with the outside world, and the iron produced is sold by merchants from Arabia and the Western Regions to the Uighurs, Tubo and the Western Regions, and they borrow the name of the Lingzhou Iron Works for this part of the domestic sales. ”

Yang Hao had a fire in his heart, he didn't know it, but what did the intelligence room and the magistrate do, if it weren't for Wu Chenglong, he would definitely call Guan Suo, Zhu Qi and Yongan County Commander Feng Yi to scold him.

"I remember that Haotian only sells salt, not iron, why did he suddenly become interested in the iron factory."

Yang Hao asked quietly, with an unbearable excitement in his heart, what is really missing, just now Yuzhong was still complaining that the iron was not enough, here Wu Chenglong sent the iron factory, Yang Hao thought of Meng Yao again, although a word can choke people, but she can bring great benefits to herself every time she comes, last time it was a blanket factory, this time it is an iron factory, this is the legendary goddess of luck,

"I don't know, the court has recently changed the salt and iron envoys, of course, those who can sit in this position, that are all very deep backgrounds, the new salt and iron envoy Wu Qimei is born in the Niu Party Jinshi, but has not been considered a good will, after Wu Chen recommended him to join Qiu Shiliang's disciples, Qiu Shiliang has long been dissatisfied with the Niu Party's control of salt and iron, only suffering from the Niu Party operating in the two for many years, the power is intertwined, and the wind and fire can not move its roots, so he has not done it for a long time, Wu Qimei has been the deputy envoy of salt and iron, and knows these two very well, Qiu Shiliang used him as a sword to naturally kill the Niu Party with nowhere to stop, and the giant businessmen who were attached to the Niu Party had nowhere to hide, or change the court, attached to the Eunuch Party, or took out business, absconded with the money, Haotian took the opportunity to take over several iron factories in Guanzhong, which was regarded as officially entering this industry. ”

Yang Hao then understood, and secretly laughed in his heart that he was the toad who sat in the well and watched the sky, thinking that he knew everything about the world, but in fact, it was only one acre and three points of land in Fengzhou as far as his eyes could see.

"You think the black iron factory is blocking the way to wealth."

"That's natural, they don't have to pay taxes, and they use a lot of slaves to work, and the cost of the regular ironworks is much higher than theirs, and they can't fight them anyway."

Wu Chenglong saw that Yang Hao was still hesitating, thinking that he was worried that the background of the black iron factory was complicated and not easy to provoke, so he said: "The behind-the-scenes boss of this black iron factory is just a few small characters of the Niu Party. ”
