A similar scene was staged in the pottery factory and the brick and tile factory, and the handover between the Cai family and Liang Ji went very smoothly.

In the next few days, the three newly taken over industries were established Liang Kee Mining, with Luo Baiguan as the general leader, and Cai, as the deputy, to help Luo Baiguan deal with various affairs. Several personnel with experience in procurement, sales, security, finance, and personnel management transferred from Liang Kee headquarters were assigned to Liang Kee Mining to hold key positions. The honeycomb coal manufacturing mold designed by Xu Liang himself, and the supporting three specifications of coal furnace and pot mold have been handed over to Luo Baiguan, and I believe that after half a month, the first batch of finished products will be able to be put on the market.

In the pavilion in the backyard of the Yamen of Hanzhong Road, Xu Liang, Feng Suqin, Lou Xian'er, Tietou and others sat around a table, rubbing the mahjong on the stone table into a loud noise.

Today, the four of them are evenly matched, and the wins and losses in front of each of them are not very relevant.

Feng Suqin threw out Zhang 20,000 yuan, sat at Xu Liang's house with an iron head, and stared at Xu Liang directly. Seeing Xu Liang staring at the 20,000 zi on the table, not touching the child or speaking, he reminded: "Young master, it's time for you to play your cards." ”

Xu Liang glanced at his cards, looked entangled, and said, "Don't argue, I'm thinking, whether Hu Qi pair or touch Hu." ”

Tietou rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't that the result almost the same?" ”

Xu Liang said seriously: "It's different. Brother plays cards and plays technical work. ”

Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er covered their mouths and chuckled, Lou Xian'er said: "Xianggong, you can play your cards quickly, in terms of technology, the three of us together are not as good as Sister Feng's skills." ”

Xu Liang listened, looked at Feng Suqin, and thought about it. Since Feng Suqin learned to play mahjong, she has actually come from behind. The level has long surpassed that of Xu Liang, the master who brought him in. Xu Liang gave up the 20,000 and touched another card. It turned out to be a south wind, and he was so angry that he threw it out.

Seeing this, the iron head smiled.

Xu Liang asked casually: "Ah Tie, what has been the recent movement in the capital?" Is there any news from the detective department of the Beijing Division? ”

Tietou thought for a while, and said while playing cards: "Young master, the detective department sent another twenty people to the Jingshi last month, plus the people of Yan Qi in the carriage and horse shop, we have spies lurking around each yamen, and we will know as soon as the Jingshi has news." ”

"The excerpt in the court about Yang Lao's dismissal of the Liang army. Is Your Majesty still staying in the middle and not sending it? ”

Xu Liang met with Xu Guangqiyi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, in Xi'an Mansion, and learned about this closely related news, so he naturally asked the Tsing Yi Wei of the Beijing Division to pay special attention.

Tietou said: "There is no new progress for the time being. ”

Xu Liang groaned, just this time, it was his turn to touch the cards again, and threw out the unsatisfactory son in his hand, Xu Liang said: "The wind in the middle of the court, the clouds on the ground." Our Tsing Yi Wei must not take the Jingshi lightly. Cabinet Minister. The six Shangshu mansions should focus on monitoring. At the same time, it is also necessary to try to infiltrate the spies into the interior of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they can start from the ministers' daughters, children, and housekeepers. ”

"Hmm. I know. Iron Head nodded.

Xu Liang and Tietou were discussing things, and Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er quietly touched the cards, while listening to the conversation between Xu Liang and the two. And don't interject.

"By the way, last time I asked you to try to buy a few eunuchs in the palace. How's this going? Xu Liang asked again.

Lou Xian'er was taken aback and looked at Xu Liang in surprise. Thought. The ministers of the DPRK and China can easily understand what they are going to do to buy the eunuchs? Spy on Emperor Chongzhen?

Tietou glanced at Lou Xian'er, lowered his voice and said, "I have already bought a few little eunuchs, but it is difficult for the eunuchs at the level of steward to approach. ”

Xu Liang said, "This matter should be carried out in secret, and do not attract the attention of those eunuch leaders." ”

"Hey."

At the end of a game, it was Lou Xian'er who was the first. Taking advantage of the shuffle, Feng Suqin said: "Xianggong, the big framework of Liang Ji Mining has been erected, Luo Baiguan is also the old man of Liang Ji, and I don't have anything to worry about when he handles the affairs here." There are still many things waiting for me to get an idea at the Liang Kee headquarters in Pingliang Mansion. I plan to go back the day after tomorrow, as for Sister Xian'er, just stay here and wait for the minister. ”

Lou Xian'er listened, she was happy in her heart, and lowered her head to concentrate on coding cards.

Xu Liang chuckled and said: "Liang Ji headquarters has Wu Side, Xia Er and others watching, Liang Ji soap cream, well salt business has been in the stage of stable operation, and other shops have shopkeepers everywhere to watch, no big thing can be missed." Suqin, you're going to stay here a little longer. ”

Feng Suqin listened, moved slightly, and then chuckled: "Xianggong, your honeycomb coal promotion is a big deal, I have to go back to discuss with my colleagues in the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce first." ”

Xu Liang listened, waved his hand and said, "That's up to you." ”

Feng Suqin said again: "By the way, the results of Qiu Yu have come out, and Brother Xu Jiang has won the sixty-fourth place, which is relatively good." ”

Xu Liangzhongju's matter, Xu Liang has long known from Shaanxi Xuezheng Ding Shiyou. Ding Xuezheng experienced the Xu Jiang student registration case, and knew that in the eyes of Qian Yongtai, the political envoy of Shaanxi, he was already the kind of person who was not welcomed, so he began to find ways to have a good relationship with Xu Liang. As soon as the results of Qiu Yu came out, Ding Xuezheng hurriedly sent a letter to Xu Liang to inform him, and said hello by the way.

Xu Liang said: "With Xu Jiang's skills, it is inevitable to be promoted. Now that he has been promoted, let him prepare for the next year's palace exam in Xi'an Mansion School. ”

In the process of talking and touching the cards, Xu Liang and Feng Suqin and others agreed on some things. After a few more rounds, I saw Wang Qinian, the official of Hanzhong Dao, walking into the pavilion, and arched his hand towards Xu Liang and said, "My lord, Song Chaodu, the prefect of Hanzhong, asks to see you." ”

Xu Liang listened to it and said casually: "Governor Song is here?" You just let him in, and you came here to report it? ”

Wang Qinian lowered his head and explained: "Xia Guan knows that the lord and the two ladies are playing mahjong, so it's not easy to disturb. Besides, the Song Governor also brought two other people. ”

Xu Liang was very surprised, and at the same time understood what Wang Qinian meant, if it was just Song Chaodu, with the revolutionary friendship that this old man had established with Xu Liang by visiting the Yamen of Hanzhong Dao many times, Xu Liang naturally didn't need to avoid anything when he saw him, but if he also brought someone else. Then it's really inappropriate to let outsiders in like this.

Xu Liang asked suspiciously, "Who did he bring?" ”

Wang Qinian said: "Look at the dress." Like a businessman. ”

Xu Liang listened, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly. The Song Dynasty, the prefect of Hanzhong, had a hard time. At this time, he brought two businessmen to see him, and Xu Liang could more or less guess the intentions of the Song Governor's Mansion.

casually ordered a waiting maid ring to hold up for him for a while, and Xu Liang withdrew and went to the second hall of the Yamen of Hanzhong Road. There, the Song prefect and the two middle-aged businessmen were already waiting, and when they saw Xu Liang and Wang Qinian coming in, the Song prefect and the two businessmen hurriedly got up and saluted Xu Liang.

After the prefect of Song waited for Xu Liang to sit down on the main seat, he pointed to the two middle-aged businessmen and said, "My lord." These two, the one on the left is outside the Qin member, and the one on the right is outside the guard. Both of them are big businessmen in the coal mining business. ”

Xu Liang smiled even more on his face, and greeted the two merchants who were sincerely afraid: "It turned out to be Qin Yuanwai and Weiyuanwai, please take a seat." He also gestured to Wang Qinian and said, "Qinian, the person who comes is a guest, hurry up and serve tea." ”

Wang Qinian bowed, turned around and walked out.

Take advantage of this gap. Song Zhifu provoked the topic and said with a smile: "Xia Guan heard that Liang Ji of Pingliang Mansion acquired the coal mine, pottery factory and brick factory under Cai Yuanwai's name in one fell swoop two days ago. Oh, Lord Xu is really generous. ”

Although the prefect of Song is talking about Liang Ji. But everyone here knows that Liang Ji is Xu Liang's industry.

Xu Liang waved his hand and said: "Lord Song has won the award, and Liang Ji is making a small fuss." It can't be compared with big coal mine merchants like Qin Yuanwai and Weiyuanwai. The Qin staff and the guards are really generous. ”

Qin Wei and the others hurriedly waved their hands with a humble expression. Qin Yuanwai arched his hand and smiled: "Qin is panicked. I didn't expect that the people who participated in politics were so interested in the coal mining business. ”

"On a whim, just for fun." Xu Liang said with a smile.

It will. Wang Qinian led a servant in and served tea to everyone. Xu Liang motioned to Song Zhifu and Qin Wei to drink tea. After everyone drank a round of tea, Xu Liang Zhengse asked Qin Wei and the two: "Outside Qin, outside the guard, the two of you came here so solemnly today, but what do you need the help of this official?" ”

When Qin Wei and the others heard this, their faces were a little hesitant and embarrassed. Governor Song said: "Outside the Qin staff, outside the guards, Lord Xu is a cheerful person, and the difficulties of the two of you may as well tell Lord Xu bluntly." ”

Xu Liang looked at Qin Wei and the others, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile. Qin Wei and the others also run coal mines, and the coal mine business must be similar to Cai Mao, and the situation will not be too good. And the first sentence after thinking of Song Zhifu sitting down was to praise Liang Ji's generous acquisition of Cai Mao's industry. With such an obvious suggestion, if Xu Liang couldn't guess what the purpose of the Song Governor Mansion and the two of them came to see him, then Xu Liang could directly buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

Qin Wei and the two looked at each other for a while, and finally the two made up their minds, and the guard said to Qin Yuanwai: "Brother Qin, you should come and tell the political officer." ”

Qin Yuanwai nodded, looked at Xu Liang, smiled bitterly, and said, "Lord Xu, you must have guessed the intention of our coming." Qin and Wei Yuanwai's family both run coal mines, but how bleak the coal mine business is now, adults can see from the acquisition of Cai Yuanwai's coal mine. The coal mine situation outside Qin and Wei Yuanwai is not much different from Cai Yuanwai's, and they are all gritting their teeth and struggling to maintain it. I waited until today to ask Lord Song to come to meet Lord Xu, just to inquire, Liang Ji under Lord Xu's name, is he still willing to buy coal mines? ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said in surprise: "Qin Yuanwai said that you and Wei Yuanwai also want to transfer the coal mine under your name to Liang Ji?" ”

Qin Wei and the two nodded again and again, and said happily: "Yes, that's exactly what it means." ”

Xu Liang's brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Qin Wei and the others felt a lot in their hearts, and Qin Yuanwai took two steps forward and said, "Lord Xu probably doesn't know where our coal mine is. Don't hide it from Lord Xu, the most famous coal mine on Dingjun Mountain, in addition to the coal mine other than Cai Yuan, is Qin and the guards. If Liang Ji of the adults is acquired together, it is extremely convenient to store and transport coal. ”

Xu Liang's eyes lit up again. The coal mines outside the Qin Yuan and Wei Yuan were actually on Dingjun Mountain, which Xu Liang did not expect. However, as Qin Yuanwai said, if Liang Ji buys the coal mines outside Qin Yuanwai and Weiyuanwai together, then the entire coal on Dingjun Mountain will be owned by Liang Ji.

Xu Liang was secretly happy in his heart, but he put on an embarrassed expression on his face, looked at Qin Yuanwai and Wei Yuanwai and said: "The two of you want to sell the coal mine, for Liang Ji, this is also a good opportunity to strengthen Liang Ji." It's just that, ahem, the two of you also know that Liang Ji has just acquired three properties under Cai Yuanwai's name recently, and this is inevitably a bit short of money. If you want to buy the coal mines under the names of the two again, for a while, I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise this silver two. ”

When Wang Qinian heard this, he looked at Xu Liang in amazement, as Xu Liang's loyal subordinate, Wang Qinian, through Luo Baiguan, had long known what a huge institution Liang Ji under Xu Liang's name was, and the wealth under management was worth no less than two or three million taels, so how could he come up with the statement that it was difficult to raise? Wang Qinian was just stunned for a moment, and then he understood in a blink of an eye that this was Xu Liang's negotiation technique, so he restrained his expression and looked at Qin Wei and the two indifferently.

Qin Wei and the others saw the embarrassed expression on Xu Liang's face, for fear that Xu Liang would retreat because of this, so the coal mine in his hand would not be able to get back real money, and he was anxious, so Qin Yuan said: "Don't worry, Lord Xu, Qin only hopes that the coal mine in his hand will be sold as soon as possible, and as for this price, it will definitely not make Lord Xu embarrassed." ”

When the guard heard this, he was also busy saying, "Lord Xu, my Wei has the same idea as Qin Yuanwai. Liang Kee's acquisition of the coal mine in my hand will definitely not make Liang Kee suffer. ”

Xu Liang saw the anxious expressions of Qin Wei and the others, his face was still embarrassed, but he was smiling in his heart.

"Well...... this"

Seeing this, Qin Wei and the others became even more anxious, and looked at Song Chaodu, the prefect of Hanzhong, with a begging for help. Governor Song carefully suggested: "Lord Xu, the business in the hands of Qin Yuanwai and Weiyuanwai has indeed reached a big problem, and there is an urgent need for capital turnover. ”

Xu Liang glanced at Song Chaodu, still hesitating.

Wang Qinian, who was on the side, was moved, looked at Xu Liang and said: "My lord, according to the lower officials, it is rare that Qin Yuanwai and Weiyuanwai have such sincere intentions to transfer coal mines, otherwise, you can let the shopkeeper Luo Da follow Qin Yuanwai and Weiyuanwai to Dingjun Mountain Coal Mine to inspect on the spot, and then discuss with the two staff, whether you can buy it, and then it will not be too late to decide depending on the situation." ”

The prefect of Song, the Qin staff, and the guards listened to it, and hurriedly agreed: "What Lord Wang said is very true. Lord Xu, you can let Liang Ji's shopkeeper Luo Da go to the field to have a look, if you are not satisfied, we will not force it. ”

Xu Liang's eyebrows moved, looked at everyone, and nodded slowly: "Okay, then I'll let Luo Baiguan go to the mine to have a look." ”

Qin Wei and the others thanked happily, and then cast a grateful look at Wang Qinian. After the matter was properly discussed, the Song Governor led Qin Wei and the others to prepare to leave.

Xu Liang stopped the Song prefect and said, "Lord Song, stay." (To be continued......)
