"That's what he said?" After Jia Min heard Lin Dayong repeat Dong Fang's words, he was a little moved.

"Yes! Dong Fang said two plans, one is that we sell cotton to him at a low price, and then how much silver he sells has nothing to do with us, although we make less money, but we also save the effort of transporting cotton. There is also a way to use cotton to cooperate with his trading house and divide the money he earns equally! Lin Dayong said.

"Huh! This Dong Fang is really a profiteer! Look at me, a woman, I don't understand the twists and turns in this! He probably wants me to choose the second one, so that he can earn more, but I'm not stupid, what is the price of cotton in the northwest, and what is the price of shipping it to us? Nowadays, cotton has been popularized, Daming has cotton planted everywhere, our cotton is in demand, one is that our cotton quality is the best, and the other is to come to my reputation! He does business under my banner, not only can cotton make a lot of money, but I'm afraid it will also be good for his other businesses! Jia Min sneered.

"This Dong Fang is indeed a shrewd businessman! However, he underestimated his wife too much! Lin Dayong snorted coldly.

"But this person can be wooed, if he is willing to help his husband, it is not impossible for me to give him some benefits!"

"Mrs. wants to ......"

"You tell him that I want to open a weaving shop in the northwest, specializing in weaving cotton cloth and selling it, and if he is interested, let him talk to you."

"Yes! Wife! Lin Dayong got Jia Min's order and went out to let someone send a message to Dong Fang.

"Yao Huang! I ask you, would you like to help me manage my dowry estate? After Lin Dayong left, Jia Min shook with the waiting beside him.

"Ma'am! The slave doesn't understand anything, and I'm afraid that I will disappoint my wife if I don't manage it well! ”

"It's nothing! You can learn slowly, you have been helping me to check the accounts and reconcile the accounts all these years, and I have some understanding. Also, since you have decided to recruit a son-in-law, you can't always be locked in the inner house, if you want to truly become the head of the family, you must have the ability to support a family. ”

"Ma'am! Slaves...... Thank you for thinking so well for the slave! Yao Huang knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Min, and his eyes were red when he was moved by Jia Min's words.

"Okay, don't shed tears, or you'll think I'm bullying you after a while!"

"Mrs. laughed again! Who doesn't know that the most painful thing is his wife! ”

"Yo! Why do I hear this so vinegar! ”

"Mrs. ......"

"Good, good! Don't make fun of you! Seriously! If you agree to my proposal just now, I will let Steward Lin take you to meet that Dong Fang, and you will also learn from it when the time comes!" ”

"Slaves and maids all listen to their wives!"

The next day, in a private room in the Lin family's Zhen Yu Fang, Lin Dayong took Yao Huang to meet Dong Fang. Dong Fang was a little curious about this delicate girl, and at first thought that she was Lin Dayong's concubine, but seeing that she was dressed like a boudoir woman, and Lin Dayong also respected her, he felt that Yao Huang's identity was probably not simple. So he was secretly glad that he didn't say anything offensive just now, and maybe this woman was still someone around Lord Hui.

"Steward Lin, I don't know what the county lord means?"

"What our wife means is that we can cooperate!"

"Oh! That's great! Oh, the county lord is willing to give me a chance, which is a great blessing! Dong Fang smiled happily.

"Although our wife has agreed to cooperate with you, the way of cooperation is to change!"

Dong Fang restrained a smile and asked, "I don't know how the county lord wants to change it?" In Dong Fang's heart, he felt that Jia Min would definitely choose the second option, but he would feel that it was inappropriate to divide the interests equally, and he might propose to divide it into more. Dong Fang is also ready, and plans to share it with Jia Min, Jia Min takes the lion's share, although he earns less, but in the name of cooperating with Lord Hui, his other businesses will also improve, so overall he does not suffer a loss!

"Our wife said that she plans to open a weaving shop in the northwest, if Mr. Dong is interested, I can let you participate!" Lin Dayong glanced at Dong Fang meaningfully.

Dong Fang rubbed his ears, feeling that he must have misheard just now, and then asked Lin Dayong again: "What did Steward Lin say just now, please forgive me for not hearing it clearly!" ”

"Our wife plans to open a weaving shop in the northwest, does Master Dong want to cooperate with our wife?" Lin Dayong looked at Dong Fang with a smile and repeated his words again.

Dong Fang confirmed that he had heard it correctly this time, Jia Min really wanted to open a weaving shop in the northwest, and he also planned to let himself join a share. Dong Fang didn't know how to answer now, which was completely different from his initial thoughts. Originally, he wanted to cooperate with Jia Min, and he himself was dominant, and Jia Minzhi needed to put up a name and give her cotton directly to Dong Fang. But if he follows Jia Min's proposal, Dong Fang will become a person who does things for Jia Min, almost like an errand runner! Dong Fang felt that he had dug a pit for himself, and it was still a big pit.

"Master Dong! You know, with our old lady now, we don't just agree to do business with others. Our old lady can't show her face, so she needs to find someone to help do something, of course, this person must not only be shrewd and capable, but also have absolute loyalty, and can't be ungrateful and betray our old lady. And our old lady is very good, presumably Master Dong is also very clear, otherwise he would not have come to the door directly. Didn't Master Dong come for our wife's good reputation? After Lin Dayong finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips of tea.

After Dong Fang listened to Lin Dayong's words, he didn't react at first, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he understood the deep meaning of Jia Min's actions. He thought that Lin Ruhai is now in charge of salt politics in Yangzhou, but those big salt merchants in Yangzhou are not fuel-efficient lamps, Lin Ruhai wants to open up the situation in Yangzhou, he must have a salt merchant who is with him, and Dong Fang is the best choice.

Dong Fang's business now includes silk, tea, and official salt. Because he entered the industry late, and his people are not wide, the salt introduction he can get is very limited, and even this limited salt introduction is bought from others with money. Therefore, the proportion of official salt in his business is not large. In other words, if Lin Ruhai wants Dong Fang to help him, he must first cultivate Dong Fang into a big salt merchant.
