It was not a hassle to purchase a barren mountain, but Ma County's order in Linquan County was Li Jingyao's father-in-law and Ma Jirong's father-in-law!

The application was handed over to his desk, and he rejected it without even reading it. Ruan Mingyu sneered slightly, turned his head and looked for the relationship to find Lord Fang, the prefect of Minzhou.

He made a good move, and by thanking the prefect Fang for helping him punish those who stole and sold fake gilding, he gave the Fang family two sets of pure gold heads, which won Mrs. Fang's favor.

Because of the last case, Governor Fang also knew a little about Jingbao Pavilion, and he had a good impression of this young owner. Mrs. Fang blew the pillow wind a few times in the inner courtyard, and saw that Ruan Mingyu's application was written in detail, and even the lives of the surrounding farmers and hunters were properly arranged.

Ma Xianling sat restless for two days with the official document, and if the subscription was approved, he would be unwilling; If you don't approve it, you will have to eat and hang up in front of your boss.

Ma Jirong sneered and suggested, "Dad, if he wants to buy this mountain, he can buy it." But the hunters under the mountain also have to hunt and eat, right? He was only allowed to buy half of it. Those mountains and forests suitable for planting trees are to be reserved for hunters to hunt and make a living, so we will give him half of the mountain with more rocks and less soil and sparse vegetation. ”

He looked at the purchase book, his eyes were cold, "I see how he planted trees in the cracks of the stones!" ”

So, three days later, Ruan Mingyu was in the Yahou Hall of Linquan County, and when he saw the application book approved by the Ma County Order, he was only allowed to buy half of the barren mountain, and it was a stone barren mountain with sparse grass and trees in the north of the county.

Ruan Mingyu didn't take the application book, but looked at Ma Xian Ling and said, "Master Ma, I applied for the entire mountain at the beginning, why is it that only half of it has been approved now?" And I am here to plant Bodhi trees and pick Bodhi seeds on the mountain. Half of the side you drew for me is full of rocks, how can I plant trees? ”

"I am a strong supporter of merchants. But you also have to understand my struggles. Ma Xianling sat on the Taishi's chair and slowly dialed the tea bowl.

"That mountain is where the nearby hunters hunt and forage, and if it is all assigned to you, how will you let the family live. Also, the dense woods are the most prey beasts, so the natural dense woods are also reserved for them. ”

Ruan Mingyu suddenly changed color: "You can't plant over there, what's the use of me wanting this mountain?" ”

"Yo, that's up to you." Ma Xianling put down the tea bowl, "Buy this mountain or not." If you change your mind, I'll tear it up. Anyway, it hasn't been stamped yet. ”

Ruan Mingyu stared at him for a moment, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing his small tiger teeth, and he said with a smile, "Yes, since you have subscribed, you naturally want it." However, the mountain is only half the original size, and the land is the most barren part. Naturally, the price will change. ”

He picked up the pen, crossed out the original price, and wrote down another number.

Ma Xian Ling looked at it and gasped, "This, this is not half of the original price!" ”

"The value of this part of the mountain is not enough for half of its original value." Ruan Mingyu said leisurely.

Ma Xianling stood up, "No! How can this price be ......"

Ruan Mingyu didn't wait for Ma Xian Ling to finish speaking, he stared straight at him, and said in a deep voice: "I have already reported this transaction to Lord Fang, and he intends to use it as a political achievement of the Minzhou Government to vigorously support merchants, and write it into this year's imperial court report." Master Ma, don't you think about it? ”

Ma Xianling was stunned and slowly sat back in his chair. He hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay." Just do it at the price you say. I'll grant it to you. He stamped the money on the new purchase book, and said with a smile, "Then I wish you a soft young master to plant a cash cow as soon as possible." ”

"If you promise you, I will." Ruan Mingyu took the title deed stamped with the big seal of the Yamen, blew on the undried cinnabar seal, leaned over to the Ma County Order, and suddenly smiled arrogantly, "My lord, I bet that in the future, you will definitely regret today's decision!" With that, he turned around and laughed and walked away.

Ma Xian Ling stared at Ruan Mingyu's back fiercely, and his fingers holding the tea bowl turned white with force.

"Daddy,

Even if the sale price of the mountain is halved, it is not low, can he really plant trees in the cracks of the stones? Ma Jirong walked out and also looked at the direction in which Ruan Mingyu left.

"Hmph, even if he wants to plant, I won't let him win!" Ma Xianling said coldly, "Water is needed to plant trees, and the water source of this mountain is on the side of the dense forest, if he wants to use water, he will pay me another sum of money." ”

Ma Jirong was overjoyed, "It's better than you, dad, let him add step by step, and drag him down!" ”

Ma Xian Ling crumpled the old application book on the table and sneered: "Let him be arrogant for a while, there will be times when he begs me." ”

Nguyen Minh Yu

The transaction soon reached Li Zhixuan's ears through Li Jingyao.

Li Zhixuan dialed the abacus in the account room of Si Zhenfang, and sneered: "Let him go, what can be grown from half a stone mountain." ”

Li Jingyao said: "Dad, what if he still comes to the woods to pick Bodhi seeds when the time comes?" ”

"What's so difficult about this," Li Zhixuan snorted, "There are many hunters in the Li clan, and if you talk about it in the clan, you will say that they have come to disturb the mountains and scare away all the prey." Naturally, those Orions will stop us from the rest. ”

Li Jingyao also smiled smugly.

Ruan Mingyu returned to the Jingbao Pavilion, and as soon as he turned over and dismounted, Shopkeeper Hong greeted him from the store, "Shaodong, the master craftsman of the general number has arrived." ”

Ruan Mingyu pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's been a long time coming." Take me to meet them. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Call the girl." ”

When Li Jingshan came to the private room, she saw Ruan Mingyu drinking tea with the two masters. Seeing her coming, he got up and introduced: "Come and see two masters, Lan Yu and Ding Mo." ”

The two masters also looked up at her.

Lan Yu on the right is in his fifties, with gray hair and two longevity eyebrows; Ding Mo on the left is much younger, less than forty years old, but he has a cold eyebrow and cold eyes. Both of them looked at Li Jingshan scrutinically, and that gaze made the cold hairs behind Li Jingshan's back stand up slightly.

She gave the two masters a blessing in a dignified manner, "The little girl Li Jingshan has seen the two masters. ”

Lan Yu stood up and smiled back, "Girl doesn't have to be polite. ”

And Ding Mo just lowered his eyes, skimmed the tea bowl and snorted, "It's a female baby." ”

Ruan Mingyu didn't seem to ask, but smiled and said: "These two masters are good at jewelry skills, and everyone will work together in the future, Ah Shan can't be proud of his achievements, and he should ask his seniors for advice." ”

A sentence drew the eyes of the two to Li Jingshan again. Pride? Minzhou Jingbao Pavilion has only been established for more than a year, and that little girl was named a hero by the young owner?!

This sentence also gave Li Jingshan confidence, and she smiled humbly: "My subordinates don't dare." I'm still a beginner in the industry, and I need a lot of support from two masters. ”

Lan Yu: "How dare you." ”

Ding Mo: "It's easy to say. ”

Ruan Mingyu saw it in his eyes and exchanged a few words with them, and Ruan Shu came in to report, "Young master, the private room in Juxian Building has been arranged." ”

Ruan Mingyu stood up and stretched out his hand to lead the way, "The two of you have worked hard from afar. I'll prepare a little Feiyi, wash the dust for the two of you, and rest for two days before going to work. ”

The two masters hurriedly kept up. Ruan Mingyu glanced at Li Jingshan as he walked past her. Li Jingshan also followed with a very eyed look.

In the restaurant, the shopkeeper Hong was already waiting, and Li Jingshan naturally accompanied him in the last seat.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes were half full, and Ding Mo was also a little drunk. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "I heard when I was in the general trumpet that Ruan Sanshao plans to abandon the consistent purpose of the Jingbao Pavilion, what civilian line do you want to promote?" I wish to hear more about it. ”

Ruan Mingyu also put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to wait for the two of you to go to work and then talk in detail." I don't want Brother Ding to be so dedicated, and I don't forget to do errands at the dust washing banquet. He stared at Ding Mo, "That's true!" For the specific situation, please ask the shopkeeper Hong to say to the two of them. ”

The shopkeeper Hong was busy and stopped, and gave a brief introduction to the situation of the jewelry store in Minzhou City, and concluded: "The market of the high-ranking households is now controlled by Si Zhenfang, but the vast civilian market has made a great difference. Several of the early promotions of Jingbao Pavilion also opened up sales in the civilian market. You don't have to worry. ”

Ding Mo's fingers rubbed the rim of the wine glass: "I remember that when the third young master chose the Minzhou City Branch, he was unanimously opposed. Now it's hard to ride a tiger to come up with such a nondescript way? ”

He snorted, "Even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the roots of the Imperial City don't dare to follow the path of the common people, are the people of Minzhou City richer than the capital?" ”

Ruan Mingyu poured a glass of wine for Ding Mo with a pot, and said unhurriedly: "It depends on how Brother Ding defines this 'rich'." If they were asked to spend three or five hundred taels of silver to buy it, they naturally didn't have it, but if they only spent three or five taels to buy a flower hairpin, they would still be happy. ”

"Three-five-two? Has Jingbao Pavilion been reduced to the point of competing for jobs with small workshops on the street? Ding Mo sneered.

Lan Yu hurriedly tugged at Ding Mo's sleeve and smiled at Ruan Mingyu: "Ruan Sanshao atons for his sins, Ding Ye likes to talk nonsense after eating two sips of wine." What he meant was, how could he make money for three or five taels of silver? ”

Ruan Mingyu didn't seem to notice the rude offense, and still smiled calmly, "Whether you make a profit or not, it just depends on whether the profit is high or not." The cost of the jewelry business comes from two parts: raw materials and handiwork. If the raw materials are cheap and the manual work is simple, the cost will naturally be low, and the profit will be indispensable. ”

"The raw materials are cheap, the manual is simple......" Ding Mo burped, "These are just a few numbers on the ledger...... Brother Lan, what are you doing with my sleeves? ”

Lan Yu didn't stop pulling his sleeve, and he couldn't wait to rush up and seal his mouth.

Ruan Mingyu's slender fingertips gently turned the wine glass, and his smile remained unchanged, "Brother Ding is here, but you still want to check the accounts?" ”

Ruan Sanshao smiled. Ding Mo: He was drunk, so we went back first. Thank you for your hospitality tonight, thank you, you don't have to send it, you don't have to send it! Dragged Ding Mo out hurriedly.

Ruan Mingyu asked Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo to send the two of them back to their accommodation with a smile on his face. Watching the carriage leave, he wiped his face with a handkerchief, and the smile was wiped out casually.

He threw the handkerchief into the basin and stretched out the teacup in front of Li Jingshan, who consciously filled it for him. He drank the tea in one gulp, looked at the carriage under the window that was gradually moving away, and his eyes were cold: "Big brother actually sent me such two people." ”

Shopkeeper Hong said worriedly: "Young owner, these two people don't look good. I didn't find it so difficult at the headquarters before, why is it like this now? ”
