The reason why Li Wenxuan remembered Lin Zhengbei was that he was not only the richest man in Guangxin Mansion, but also the leader of the gentry in this area. If he can move the other party and come forward to put pressure on the government, then Qian Mingzheng's side will naturally have to think about it seriously.

Li Wenxuan felt that the key and only entry point for him to succeed in convincing Lin Zhengbei was to speak for profit, after all, businessmen throughout the ages have valued profit over parting. If it is unprofitable, my nominal father-in-law, I am afraid that he will not bother to spend all the money to help him. The relationship between the two is really emotionless to play.

Along the way, Li Wenxuan, who was thinking about how to make Lin Zhengbei willingly agree, came to Lin Mansion unconsciously. The Lin family had known him for a long time, so there was no obstruction. Without informing him, he walked straight in. Li Wenxuan, who came to the hall and sat down, drank tea and waited for Lin Zhengbei to appear.

Lin Zhengbei, who was told that he had come to the house, did not seem particularly happy. For the arrival of his son-in-law, his feelings are still complicated. If he really said that he was not there, refused to meet, and was worried about offending Li Wenxuan, if there were three disasters and six disasters in the future, and he needed to ask him for help, he would be retaliated against.

In addition, if this person eats whole grains, he can have a time when he will not get sick. And the most terrible thing is that Li Wenxuan is also a skilled doctor. There is no man in the city who can match him. Lin Zhengbei knows this. When I came out to see him, I was not very happy in my heart, after all, in the two of them met many times, I felt that I always suffered.

The most irritating thing for Lin Zhengbei is not the above two points, but the fact that Li Wenxuan doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into his daughter, so that she not only followed him with all her heart, but also calculated her own father in turn. Lin Zhengbei, who regretted that he should not have prepared such a rich dowry for Lin Ruoxi, was extremely distressed.

Although Lin Zhengbei always disliked Li Wenxuan in his heart, he had to meet him for the sake of his health and longevity in the future. I really hate and love this son-in-law who has nothing to do and goes to the Three Treasures Palace. Coming to the hall, Lin Zhengbei, who was sitting in his own place, waited for him to speak without any smile.

Li Wenxuan, who put the tea in his hand on the coffee table in his hand, did not have any politeness or greetings, after all, he knew that this had no substantive effect. Instead of wasting saliva to annoy people, it is better to show your intentions straight to the point. He had already thought of the opening remarks, and said unhappily: "The son-in-law came to see his father-in-law this time, not for anything else, but to pray for rain." ”

Lin Zhengbei, who was holding tea in his hand, didn't drink it. There was no smile on his face, but he responded lightly: "What does this prayer for rain have to do with me?"

"It's a big deal. Between us, there is no doubt that it is a relationship between Weng and son-in-law, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Li Wenxuan, who knows that he is profit-seeking, believes that empty words, clichés and lies cannot be moved. He didn't plan to negotiate at one time, so he was mentally prepared for a long-term struggle and said: "If the person who worships the heavens and prays for rain is presided over by his son-in-law this time, not only will I be able to make a name for myself, but you will also get a lot of practical benefits from your father-in-law." ”

Lin Zhengbei, who put the tea in his hand aside, leaned back on the circle chair, crossed his hands on his chest, and chuckled: "You can get benefits, I saw it." However, I didn't see the benefits at all. ”

"If I succeed in praying for rain, I don't need to say much, I will naturally be mighty and respond to every call. At that time, there will be many people who worship and believe in me. This name and profit are often inseparable. Li Wenxuan said one by one: "My father-in-law can exclusively underwrite everything that I derive." For example, if each family wants to settle down in a town, it is natural that the first thing that comes to mind is to hang my portrait to ward off evil spirits. In addition, the peachwood sword, the peace talisman, and the dust...... As long as I have opened the light, those who have recited the mantra can be sold by my father-in-law. You always think about how much money you should be making in this. ”

When it comes to money, Lin Zhengbei's interest came all of a sudden. I know that the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain who sell this or that Dao talisman on the market have not made less money. These things range from one tael of silver to one hundred taels of silver. As for the cost, it is either negligible or very low. In a word, it is definitely a book of great profits.

Lin Zhengbei, who stroked his white beard on his chin, said with a smile on his face: "It's a little interesting." ”

Li Wenxuan, who saw that he was interested, continued to go down and said endlessly: "I will calculate it based on the cost of one or two taels of silver for a family." The total number of households in the entire Guangxin Mansion, the surrounding state capitals, and even the entire territory of Guangxi Province will not be a small number. Aside from the production costs of these things, general operating expenses, taxes, etc., there will be no less than 100,000 taels of input. These things of mine are not a one-time transaction, but can be operated for a long time. In the future, you can build another Taoist temple, so incense money, lamp oil money, and donations from good men and women...... It should be a lot of money. ”

Lin Zhengbei, who heard him say this, was dumbfounded. I didn't expect that my son-in-law would have such a high business acumen. Even a businessman of his level had never thought of such a serial development model. Lin Zhengbei, who was very excited, really felt that this was a way to make money.

Li Wenxuan, who carefully observed that there were many expressions of joy and excitement on his face, strengthened his firepower and blurted out the model of a modern chain store: "When we operate well in this city, we can spread to the surrounding counties." At that time, we will rely on the Taoist temple, one after another, all over Guangxi Province, all over our Ming Dynasty. ”

Lin Zhengbei, whose smile was incomparably brighter, coughed lightly and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, you have said something too much. ”

Li Wenxuan, who also had a smile on his face, said tepidly: "Although there are some exaggerations in the latter words, it is not impossible. What's more, this is a real benefit for all to see. Now, the son-in-law is not the only one who is looking at this great errand of praying for rain. The Jingming Dao and the Qingwei faction that came down from Longhu Mountain are already busy. They are all Daoists of the big sects, and they are not as weak as me, so they have caused me some pressure. Father-in-law, you are the representative of the local gentry, so I have to trouble you to come forward and call on the gentry to jointly nominate me to undertake the errand of praying for rain. ”

Lin Zhengbei, who has been calculating and totaling for a long time in his heart, really thinks that this thing is profitable. If he can really help Li Wenxuan succeed, he will be able to harvest both face and lining. However, the involvement is also widespread, after all, this is a good thing, and all parties will naturally fight to the death.

In addition, the most reassuring thing for Lin Zhengbei is whether Li Wenxuan can pray for the rain. If you are busy with a lot of work and the rain does not come down, not only will you lose face, but also the bamboo basket will be empty. No matter how well planned it is, it is just a big pie on a blank piece of paper.

Lin Zhengbei, who had a serious expression on his face, stared at him and said very seriously: "What I care about the most is whether you have the ability and Taoism to pray for the rain?" Here is just our husband and son-in-law, there are no outsiders present, you can give me a bottom first. ”

Li Wenxuan, who stretched out his left palm, did not exaggerate or be conservative, and said truthfully: "Fifty percent sure is there." Praying for rain is not a house, so you can't play around at will. If I fail, I will get into all the good names and all kinds of good rumors that I have built up with great difficulty. However, the benefits of success are far from worth the risk. Although the drought is a natural disaster, it is also an opportunity. After all, this kind of thing doesn't happen every year. ”

Lin Zhengbei, who judged that his words were true, still recognized the probability of success of this one. After all, things in this world are not 100% safe, there are no risks, only good things. Even if you eat a meal, you still have to risk choking to death. If Li Wenxuan told himself that he was nine out of ten, he wouldn't believe it. The other party said this, judging from his decades of experience in doing business, it is indeed worth doing.

"What are you going to do for you, other than asking me to contact the local gentry for you?" Lin Zhengbei, who still wanted to hear what he said, agreed without a hurry to express his position.

"The core and decision of this matter still lies on the side of the government. And the people who play a decisive role in the government are none other than officials with rank such as Qian Mingzheng. Li Wenxuan, who was analyzing step by step, said in order to show his sincerity: "Father-in-law, you can take the initiative to show that you are willing to bear all the costs of praying for rain this time while putting pressure on the government." Of course, the son-in-law won't really let you pay for it all the time, so you just show an attitude, and the actual cost is borne by me alone. ”

Lin Zhengbei, who really didn't care about those little money, made a lot of money in this drought. Therefore, he will not have any pressure in the face of such investment and expenses. Even if you lose it all, it's just a matter of looking away.

"You don't have to worry about using money." Lin Zhengbei, who was wealthy, waved his right hand. He still has other worries in his heart, either he doesn't do it, or if he wants to do it, he has to do it: "If we really do this ironclad, then we must only succeed, not fail, and you are standing on the cusp of the limelight." If you don't do it well, you may be ruined and shattered. The old man still has to kindly remind me, do you have to think clearly? ”
