The Merchants' Union is indeed not a difficult place to find.

At least, there is not a single person in the province who does not know the location of the merchants' association.

For Yang Ming, today was definitely a day that made him extremely dissatisfied.

The loss of one million taels of silver in vain is not a small amount!

With such a loss, even if it wasn't his money, he felt as if he had lost the whole world.

That is naturally even more unpleasant for the donkey master.

After all, Yang Ming, this kid, is a stupid tuition, but it is the pension of the donkey master.

Although, at the beginning, Shopkeeper Song said that he would consider giving him enough money so that he could enjoy a rich life.

However, the words of women, especially those who are coaxed to be happy, cannot be believed at all.

From time to time, they will suddenly turn on your face and catch you off guard.

Don't ask the donkey how he knows, he just knows.

"Honestly, I'm curious to know where the hell that goddamn guy went. ”

Yang Ming was really angry with this guy, with so much money, he was not afraid of being scared to death in the middle of the night!

"Bullshit, I want to know too, but, now I think those are still bullshit!"

"You might as well think about how we can get down to business. ”

The two of them had already talked together, and Lin Ruo really couldn't listen to it anymore.

They didn't come here for the million taels of silver.

The main thing is to investigate the case, and the investigation is the serious thing they have to do!

"Okay, Miss Lin is right, let's get down to business. ”

The donkey master said angrily, Lin Ruo didn't bother to take care of the donkey master, anyway, he was such a coward.

Nothing to say.

The Merchants' Association is located in the middle of Liyang Street in Lizhou Prefecture, which is the most prosperous street in Lizhou Prefecture.

There are the most merchants in the entire Lizhou Prefecture, selling snacks on the street, buying cultural toys, wholesale goods, everything.

Walking along this road to the end, there is the Wangbei Building along the East Chef Wang Xian Peiwen.

In the middle of this street, in a very inconspicuous aisle, there is a very eye-catching sign standing outside a private house.

"Along the East Li Prefecture Merchant Federation. ”

The big characters on this brand are very good-looking, and the pen and ink are very exquisite, and they are spelled with Chen Yueru's words.

"I really didn't expect such a large organization to be aggrieved in such a small alley. ”

Hu Yue didn't understand a little, according to what they said, this federation has a very huge influence, so you have to get yourself a more elegant office.

Such a poor and sour house is really disappointing.

"The mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal. The greater the contrast between the house and the name, the more it proves that this merchant association is not simple. ”

Lin Ruo said, Mo Lin agreed with Lin Ruo's statement.

After all, they had seen too much of the things in the golden jade outside.

For example, the Yuan family, looking at the incomparably terrifying capital monster, did not expect that without money and the blessing of Yuan Enhong, it would be a plate of loose sand.

"Let's go, let's go in and touch his doorway. ”

Just as they entered the small courtyard, as soon as they entered, they saw a long queue of people.

I just looked outside, this small courtyard is not very big, and when I walked in, I found that there was no cave.

After entering the door, you have to walk dozens of steps inside to see the crowd in line.

"Why are there so many people? Could it be a special day today?"

Yang Ming asked, and Lin Ruo stepped forward to ask.

"This big brother, may I ask what day it is today, why are there so many people in front of the Federation?"

"Little girl, you're new here. ”

The middle-aged man in front of him said.

"Today

I haven't learned the rules yet, so I hope that my eldest brother will tell me more. ”

Lin Ruo said very gently, and gave the middle-aged man a silver ingot, and the man frowned, but did not accept Lin Ruo's silver.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal today, anyway. ”

"It's Mr. Gong Dali who is helping everyone file taxes. ”

"Filing taxes?"

Lin Ruo said with some doubts, shouldn't these merchants go to the Taishou Mansion to handle the tax declaration?

Why did these businessmen come to Gong Dali to file their taxes?

"Don't you know, this Mr. Gong Dali is working for the benefit of our small traders!"

"Filing taxes in the name of the federation can save a lot of taxes, and the federation is free to help file taxes. ”

"It's really a lot of benefits for the big guys!"

The eldest brother said, Yang Ming and the others looked at each other.

And this kind of good thing?

Filing tax returns in the name of the federation to allow small and medium-sized businesses to pay less taxes is indeed a move that is beneficial to people's livelihood.

It's just that how can anyone be so kind and willing to help these small businesses do this for free?

"Well, we're not here to file taxes today. ”

Hu Yue said first, and Mo Lin on the side pulled her.

"You're not coming to file your taxes? ”

The middle-aged man said.

"If you come to find Mr. Gong Dali, I guess he won't have time to see you today. ”

"If you look at the crowd in this row, you probably won't be able to finish your work until night. ”

"So, you'd better come back another day. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Lin Ruo fell into thought.

"Senior sister, what should I do?"

Hu Yue asked, Lin Ruo thought about it for a while, but did not find a feasible way.

"Actually, it's quite easy to solve. ”

Maureen looked at the crowd and said:

"We don't have to see Gong Dali, we go directly to the Taishou Mansion to find Gong Taishou, I don't think there's any problem. ”

The donkey master grinned and looked at Mo Lin, although he usually doesn't talk much, but when he speaks, he can definitely find blind spots.

That's it! Who can't the Gong family look for? It's really not good, it's okay to find Gong Tian!

"That's right, I don't know if Senior Brother Gong Tian is at home. ”

"Hehe, I accidentally won Senior Brother Gong Tian in the last competition, I don't want to be bumped into by him!"

Hu Yue stuck out her tongue, still a little embarrassed by Gong Tian.

"Without further ado, let's go straight to the Taishou Mansion. ”

After saying that, everyone left the Merchants' Federation and walked towards the Taishou Mansion.

At this time, in the Lizhou Taishou Mansion, Gong Tian was helping Gong Taishou think about it with Liwen.

This year is the season of frequent transactions, as soon as summer comes, it is the season when all kinds of things are ripe and harvested, and the next half year is the peak season for business in Lizhou.

Whether it is handicrafts or agricultural production, these months will usher in a huge climax.

However, at this time, the mountain bandits in the south were also becoming more and more rampant.

Moreover, the number of rogues who landed on the sea seems to have increased inexplicably, and I don't know why, but the merchants along the east have suffered from the seedlings.

I'm afraid I'm going to spend a lot of money to hire guards this year, and Gong Taishou called the two here to discuss this matter.

"If you want me to say, go back directly to ask the ancestor and let him lead a team of people to wipe out those rogues. ”

Gong Tian thought it was simple, Chilianmen would not help other caravans fight for no reason.

They still have their own business to do in the Red Training Sect, and their own disciples will protect the caravan to transport goods.

If they are allowed to exert their efforts to suppress the bandits in vain, they are sects, not Zhongzhou pastors, and they will not accept this kind of work.

However, this year, the loss of Zhongzhou Mu is relatively large, and there will be no manpower to suppress the bandits for a while, so this is south

The matter can only be solved by the Federation and the Gong family themselves.

"It's easy for this federation to do it, they can contribute a sum of money to suppress the bandits, but how manpower ......?"

Lack of manpower is a big problem.

Throughout the east, the Chilianmen family is dominant, although there are scattered cultivation, but it has never become a climate, the commercial atmosphere is too strong, and people rarely think about the cultivation of things.

After all, in the morality of the Cloud Empire, cultivators were not much more noble than wealthy merchants.

With the law in place, cultivators will be subject to more restrictions than ordinary people.

"The master said that the matter of suppressing bandits has to be considered in the long run. ”

It seems that Chilianmen is not particularly keen on suppressing bandits.

Therefore, Li Wei didn't pay much attention to this matter.

"I want you to help me figure out a way to see if I can call a group of good people from out of town. ”

"After all, you're all young people who have been out, and you must have a wider path than my old fellow. ”

"Is there any young man who can come over and help suppress the bandits?"

Gong Taishou asked, Gong Tian knew so many people.

Xiao He definitely won't come back, this guy seems to have just gotten married, and he sent a letter back a few days ago, saying that he would return to Chilianmen to visit the master after a round of travel.

As for the others, he didn't know much about it.

"It's not easy to deal with this. ”

Li Wei said bluntly, just when Gong Taishou was anxious, a small servant reported it.

"Taishou, there is a group of young men and women outside who want to see you. ”

"Can they be named?"

"Said to be from Yunjing, there is a person who claims to be the daughter of the Lin family in Yongzhou Mansion, do you see it?"

After this little guy finished speaking, Gong Tian and Li Wei raised their eyebrows.

The daughter of the Lin family, isn't she Lin Ruo?

"Lin Ruo, what is he doing here?"

Gong Tian asked, and Li Wei shook his head.

"You two know each other?"

"That's natural, she's the top three powerhouses in this world's big competition. ”

"Then hurry up and get her in!"

Gong Taishou hurriedly ordered, this kind of master can't be lazy, if there is a chance, he has to invite them to suppress the bandits!

The little guy quickly went to greet people, and after a while, the donkey master walked in front and came directly to the main hall of the Taishou Mansion.

"Who do I think it is!"

"Gong Tian boy! Leave the boiled boy! Seeing the donkey uncle, he didn't really salute well!"

"Hey, hey, what a coincidence!"

Don't mention how happy the donkey master was when he saw Gong Tian and Liji!

These two guys are acquaintances!

When I was making trouble at Xiao He's house, I sang a little song with them!

"Mom...... Donkey ......"

When Gong Tian saw the donkey master, he wilted instantly, and his fiery red hair almost drooped......

"I said how my right eyelid kept jumping when I came together in the morning, and the feeling was that I would meet him today......"

Liwei was also very unhappy, seeing the donkey made him feel awkward, but seeing Yang Ming ......

But it really made him feel jealous.

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Gong Tian, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Lin Ruo stepped forward and arched his hand, and Yang Ming also stepped forward and arched his hand, directly meeting Liwen's not very friendly gaze.

Get...... It seems that this senior brother really doesn't want to see him......

Yang Ming is naturally self-aware, he knows that this senior brother likes Wen Qingdai, and Wen Qingdai is very close to him, which makes him jealous.

Moreover, he also made Senior Brother Li deflated in front of Wen Qingdai......

In this way, it really hurts the peace......

"Sit down in the room, let's have tea and talk about something!"

Gong Taishou warmly welcomed everyone into the house, looking at such an enthusiastic Gong Taishou, the donkey lord showed his big white teeth with satisfaction.

This is a nice guy!
