Chapter 24: The Approach of the Gentry

Because Qin Yu's status is higher than the current county order of Gaizhou County, and he commands thousands of troops under his command, the Qin family has become the hottest family in Gaizhou. After the New Year, there is an endless stream of people who come to give gifts. Contrary to the fact that he looked down on the second young master of the Qin family before, the good words have never been broken, and the Qin family is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut. In the past, the Qin clan was the most taboo for others to say that Qin Yu was useless, but this time they also let go of their biggest thoughts.

After the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yu rushed to Benxi with Zhang Shun and a group of personal soldiers.

When passing by Chen Xinyi's beef noodle restaurant in Jianshanzi, I found that the room was empty, obviously this Chen Xinyi didn't want to have anything to do with herself, so she moved away.

Qin Yu sighed, and when he returned to Benxi, his mood did not improve.

As soon as they rushed back to the barracks, several wealthy businessmen Chen Yanqing, Zhao Xinian, and Yu Wenfu came over with gifts in person.

"The grass people have paid tribute to Lord Qin in his old age, and I heard that my lord loves tigers, so I specially sent someone to create a bronze statue of a tiger with a golden body, I hope that my lord will not dislike it." Yu Wenfu bowed to Qin Yu and said, Qin Yu likes the tiger skin snatched from Tian Yuxiong's cottage very much, and this matter is spread quite widely. Yu Wenfu asked craftsmen to create such a tiger statue, which can be regarded as spending a lot of money.

"Ha Luha, okay, I'll accept Mr. Yu's thoughts, and the things I set for you don't make much money, don't give such a valuable gift next time." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"It's a little heavier, but it's not expensive." Yu Wenfu saw that Qin Yu was quite satisfied with such a gift, and secretly felt that it was the right gift.

In addition, Chen Yanqing and Zhao Xinian gave a large branch of ginseng and bear paws. You can get your hands on it.

"I accepted your gift, but in business, if you want to receive my order next year, you have to show your sincerity." Qin Yu said.

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Chen Yanqing said that since Qin Yu came to prominence in Benxi, the military affairs officers had a lot of contact with them, especially those cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and a large number of pork and flour at the end of the year, of course, they were not conjured out of thin air, they were bought from these merchants. Qin Yu gave the money happily and did not default on the payment, which made these businessmen who were a little afraid of the official family somewhat relieved at this time.

"I opened a money bank, called Huaxing Money Bank, some of your excess money are deposited in the bank, and every time you settle the payment in the future, you will go to the money bank, of course, the money deposited, if you are useful, you can marry when you want, I am not an unreasonable person." Qin Yu caressed the gilded tiger statue and said, "As for the future order, cotton clothes and shoes will definitely continue, only more, no less, if you are interested in expanding your business, but you are not at ease, I can enter one or two dry shares, and the specific production and operation will be handed over to you, but I am only responsible for dividends, regardless of the specific operation, that is to say, you can give me the annual dividend on time, I don't care about anything else, of course, if the capital turnover is not effective, you can give priority to Huaxing Money Bank to borrow money." ”

Chen Yanqing, Yu Wenfu and others glanced at each other.

"If the adults don't dislike it, the grass people are willing to give 20% of the dry shares of the shoe factory to the adults." Zhao Xinian was the first to arch his hand. It is said to be a shoe factory, but at this time it is only a handicraft workshop, and it is almost all manual.

"You don't have to discount your own money." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Naturally not, the military camp under the adult is now the largest customer of the grass people, and it is appropriate for the adult to account for 20% of the dry shares." Zhao Xinian said.

"Okay, I'll take the dry shares, but the quality of the shoes made is good, if the price is higher than the market, but it is not worn. In the future, the army will not look for you to buy shoes, and you will take back the dry shares when the time comes. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the grass people don't dare to blackmail the army's money even if they eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and besides, the adults have bulldozed the bandits in the Benxi area, if the grass people still do such a bad thing, wouldn't they repay the favor with resentment." Zhao Xinian said, two percent of the dry shares were sent out, although the profits were reduced, but it was very worthwhile to be able to get in touch with Qin Yu, the real power of Benxi officialdom.

"My lord, if it is a coal mine, can you take care of it, there are always some Japanese people who have caused trouble in the mine recently, and these Japanese will use any tricks to obstruct the transportation of the coal mine and threaten the families of the coal workers. He even threatened the grass farmers to hand over the coal mines to the Japanese, or to hand over the excavated coal to the Japanese to sell at a very low price. Yu Wenfu smiled bitterly.

"Japanese?" Qin Yu couldn't help frowning, Japan fought a war with Tsarist Russia, naturally it was looking at the rich resources of the Northeast, and it was inevitable that the potential force would penetrate and spread to the Northeast, and if Qin Yu wanted to gain a firm foothold in Japan in the future, he would have to deal with the Japanese.

"It's more troublesome for the Japanese to be involved, this matter is Lord Zhou, I'm afraid it's not easy to manage, on the surface, it will definitely not be possible for you to stand up against the Japanese, so let's either sell the coal mine to me, or entrust it to my name and run it in my name."

"As long as Lord Qin can stop the Japanese from harassing the coal mine, the grass people are willing to put the coal mine in the name of the adult, and also give 20% of the dry shares every year." Yu Wenfu gritted his teeth and put the coal mine under Qin Yu's name, undoubtedly taking a considerable risk, if Qin Yu turned his face and didn't recognize people, there would be no place for Yu Wenfu to cry.

Qin Yu nodded, if you want to gain a foothold in Mukden in the future, in the final analysis, you still have to rely on the local gentry. It is impossible not to offend the Japanese at all, not to the Japanese. Even Zhang Zuolin in later generations, while having a good relationship with some Japanese, didn't Kawashima Naniwa deliberately want to kill him?

The advantages of building a good relationship with these gentry and merchants are obvious, and the news of some small beards that could not be obtained in time in the past is now much faster. Under Qin Yu's suppression and use, the bandits in the Benxi area were almost extinct. Qin Yu's reputation in Benxi naturally came out, although this commander is really younger, but at the same time of suppressing bandits, he has no offenses with ordinary people and businessmen, and the military discipline is strict, which is several times better than the previous officials and soldiers.

After a period of preparation, the oil mill and flour flour were officially put into operation, and the investment in these two factories was not only in Benxi, but also in Mukden, which was also rare. Thousands of workers.

However, the affairs of the factory and Qianzhuang have always been handed over to Tian Helin for coordination, Qin Yu has always been busy with the whole army, and the four battalions under his command have become a well-known and powerful army through endless training. If you want to say that there are unsatisfactory places, you can notice that Zhou Yingxue, Zhou Weiqing and others are estranged intentionally or unintentionally. Qin Yu is also arrogant, and his dealings with the Zhou family have decreased a lot. Of course, it is not completely severed from contact, and he still maintains a relationship with friends, the only exception is that Zhou Jing'an, the old fox, is as smooth as ever, and there is no difference from him.
