Although the secret transaction between himself and the two provinces of Shanxi has not yet begun, he has not yet received a tael of silver from the Governor's Mansion of Shanxi.

However, Wang Chengyi, who is very familiar with the situation in Shandong, can be sure that as long as he works hard, he will definitely be able to send at least one million immigrants to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces in just a few months.

One million immigrants, according to the negotiation, is two hundred thousand taels of silver......

According to the calculation that it takes fifty taels of silver to train an elite every year. With these 200,000 taels of silver, he can train 4,000 elites who are completely obedient to him in a short period of time.

When the time comes, the bandits in Shandong as a whole will no longer be able to threaten their dominance in Shandong.

Not only that, but the imperial court far away in the capital no longer dared to mobilize itself at will as before.

Just when Wang Chengyi was looking forward to his bright future with a smile on his face.

A slightly hurried footstep sounded directly pull him back from his sweet dream.

Just when Wang Chengyi looked up at the door of the lobby, the official who had received a silver ingot from Zhou Shuyuan two days ago walked in again with hurried footsteps.

"I would like to tell you, the one who came to the yamen two days is here again... Now at the gate of the yamen, saying that there is something important to see you....I don't know what the adults mean......"

"Something important......" Wang Chengyi's brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself with a worried face.

"Could it be that the other party wants to reverse course and cancel the transaction with this official..."

No matter what Wang Chengyi thinks in his heart, since Zhou Shuyuan, who is a rich man, is here, he must see it. Otherwise, he desperately needed the silver. It's likely that you won't get one or two.

So. After the official finished speaking. Wang Chengyi only thought in the blink of an eye, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "Quick, invite people in immediately... No, this official is going to personally invite this God of Wealth ......"

After the two of them sat down in the lobby of the governor's yamen, Wang Chengyi, who had a flattering smile on his face, hurriedly asked: "Lord Zhou, come here in such a hurry, is there something wrong with our transaction..."

Facing Wang Chengyi's eager gaze at him. Zhou Shuyuan hurriedly shook his head and replied: "No problem, no problem at all... The official has sent the contents of our transaction back to the Governor's Palace....From now on, the transaction can be carried out-... How many people do you send to Shanxi, Lord Wang, the Governor's Mansion of Shanxi will give Lord Wang the corresponding reward of silver..."

Hearing this, Wang Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's good... That's good..."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he continued to ask Zhou Shuyuan in front of him: "Lord Zhou." Since there was no problem with the transaction, the reason why Lord Zhou went and returned? ”

Zhou Shuyuan smiled and replied, "Lord Wang." The reason why this official went and returned was because he was going to send you money again. ”

Hearing these words, a trace of doubt quickly flashed on Wang Chengyi's face, and he was once again covered by a hot expression full of anticipation, waiting for Zhou Shuyuan's next words.

Under Wang Chengyi's expectant gaze, Zhou Shuyuan did not give an explanation immediately.

Instead, in front of Wang Chengyi, he opened his mouth to analyze.

"Lord Wang, according to the content of our transaction two days ago... Even if you send one million immigrants to Shanxi at one time, you can only exchange it for 200,000 taels of silver..."

"According to today's prices and soldiers' salaries, 200,000 taels of silver, at most, Lord Wang can only be allowed to raise an army of 4,000...."

"What's more important is that these 200,000 taels of silver are only the military expenses of 4,000 elites for a year. By next year, Lord Wang will worry about the military spending of the 4,000 elites..."

Faced with Zhou Shuyuan's point-to-point analysis, Wang Chengyi did not speak. After just nodding his head in approval, he looked at Zhou Shuyuan again, waiting for Zhou Shuyuan to follow.

At this time, a smile full of mystery suddenly flashed from the corner of Zhou Shuyuan's mouth.

Facing Wang Chengyi, he said in a shocking voice: "Since Lord Wang is short of silver, this official has a good way here to ensure that Lord Wang can get a reward of 200,000 taels of silver every year." ”

"As long as there are 200,000 taels of silver in hand every year, the 4,000 elites that Lord Wang is about to train will no longer need to worry about money and food."

Solve the future money and food of 4,000 elites at one time...

In the face of this greater temptation, even if the method Zhou Shuyuan said has not yet been exported, Wang Chengyi's heart has already been moved.

Facing Zhou Shuyuan, he asked eagerly: "Lord Zhou, what is the way to allow this official to obtain so much silver every year..."

Zhou Shuyuan no longer hesitated, and said directly to Wang Chengyi: "Lord Wang, this method of this official is a matter of your words for you..."

"On behalf of the Shanxi Governor's Mansion, this official intends to lease a piece of land from Lord Wang....I, the Governor's Mansion of Shanxi Province, will pay Lord Wang a rent of 200,000 taels of silver every year...."

Hearing these two words, Wang Chengyi's facial expression, which was still full of anticipation, immediately became nervous.

In Wang Chengyi's view, the reason why Zhou Shuyuan in front of him did this was for only one purpose, that is, to extend the tentacles of the Tiger and Leopard Army to Shandong...

Faced with this method of luring wolves into the house, Wang Chengyi didn't think about it, so he was ready to refuse.

And at this moment, Zhou Shuyuan spoke again: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, this official still has something to say..."

"The purpose of renting this land from the Governor's Mansion of Shanxi is not to plant nails in Shandong, but to boil salt..."

"Lord Wang should know that the salt that was sold for two or three hundred yuan a load along the coast of Shandong was directly increased to one or two or five yuan of silver by those salt merchants after it arrived in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."

"That is to say, for every load of coarse salt used in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, those salt merchants must earn at least one tael of silver....in a year, it is a million taels."

"However, if my two provinces of Shanxi and Shanxi can have a salt farm of their own along the coast, and can boil sea salt by themselves, then the situation will be different....In a year, my two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi can save at least one million taels of silver...."

"It is precisely because of this that this official, on behalf of the Shanxi Governor's Office, rented a piece of mudflats along the beach from Lord Wang to boil salt and solve the salt problem in our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

"Therefore, this official asks Lord Wang to rest assured that my Shanxi Governor's Mansion has leased the tidal flats from Lord Wang, and there are no other ulterior secrets. In addition, this officer can also guarantee that the number of soldiers dispatched to the salt works by our Haw Par Army will never exceed 500. ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengyi's nervous facial expression suddenly relaxed.

As for Zhou Shuyuan's mention in front of him, Wang Chengyi, who had already relaxed his vigilance, had agreed from the bottom of his heart. (To be continued......)
