After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Song Nan pretended to be stupid and didn't ask, but Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu couldn't bear it, and finally after having a drink with Song Nan, Jiao Zhengtai coughed and said: "Song Hou Ye, I have some small things with Gao Hou Ye I want to tell Song Hou Ye, I don't know if it's abrupt?" ”

Song Nan knew that this was about to get to the point, so he put down his wine glass and said: "What did you say, although we didn't have any friendship before, but the two marquis looked at me like this Song Nan, Song Nan knows that it is precious, and if he has something to say, why bother to be stubborn." ”

Jiao Zhengtai smiled and said, "With the permission of Marquis Song, then I have to say it directly." That's the case, when Song Houye bought land in the white paper mill before, he borrowed silver from Huitong Bank, right? ”

Song Nan smiled: "Yes, it's a pity that people don't give face, for fear that I won't be able to pay back the silver, so I actually refused." I can only say that the owner of this money bank is blind. Now all my millions of taels of turnover silver have been deposited in Feihe Bank, and Huitong Bank wants me to save a tael of silver. ”

Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu looked embarrassed, Jiao Zhengtai coughed dryly and said: "Don't hide it from Marquis Song, the blind owner of this Huitong Money Village is me and Marquis Gao." ”

Song Nan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Hey, I didn't mean to scold the two of you in person, I really didn't know that Huitong Money Village was the property of the two of you, and I offended and offended." ”

Gao Hu sighed and said: "Hou Ye Song, don't blame you for scolding us for being blind, the two of us are indeed blind, we listened to the words of other Hou Ye and refused to lend you money to do things, we regret this matter." You should also take care of the business of Feihe Bank; Feihe Qianzhuang got the million taels of silver from the Marquis of Song, and now it has opened several branches, and its reputation has a tendency to catch up with our Huitong Qianzhuang in the capital. This is all our own fault, no wonder Song Houye. ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "How can this be reasonable, I don't know that Huitong Qianzhuang is the property of the two marquis, and I don't know that Feihe Qianzhuang is the opponent of Huitong, how did it come to this situation." ”

Jiao Zhengtai waved his hand and said, "Master Song, we blame you from time to time, just talk about things." Today, my two brothers came here to ask Marquis Song for something. ”

Song Nan said: "Needless to say, my future silver will be deposited in your Huitong Bank, but it is inconvenient to take out the silver that has been deposited in Feihe, otherwise it will be a loss of faith." ”

Jiao Zhengtai hurriedly said: "Hou Ye, I don't mean this, it doesn't matter who the silver is deposited in, what I and Gao Hou Ye mean, can I and Gao Hou Ye make up for it, it is really not right to refuse Song Hou Ye to borrow silver before, we discussed, take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the money village and lend it to Song Hou Ye for turnover, how about making up for the previous slack?" ”

Song Nan was stunned, feeling very surprised, Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu's actions were a little incomprehensible, did they really want to have a good relationship with themselves? If it is only for the sake of easing the relationship, there is no need to do this at all, you need to know that the silver of the bank is a small amount of the silver accumulated by the depositors, not the silver owned by the two of them; The bank's deposits are either released at high interest or invested in the industry, in short, the silver must be used to make money to maintain the operation of the bank. Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu will lose a lot if they do this.

"Master Jiao, I can't agree to this matter, doesn't this make it clear that the two of you will suffer? It was all a misunderstanding before, but now that the words have already been spoken, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and there is no need to do this. ”

"Song Hou Ye, this is a piece of sincerity of the two of us, and the two of us also know that the development of Song Hou Ye's white paper workshop lacks silver turnover, and our move is not to say that we will send charcoal in the snow, at least we will help you, which is what our brothers are willing to do." Jiao Zhengtai said sincerely.

Song Nan frowned and smiled: "How do you know that I lack working capital?" I still have a million taels of silver in the village, if I can't turn around, how can I deposit the remaining silver? ”

Jiao Zhengtai said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't lie to us, your one million taels of silver are only deposited in Feihezhuang for two months, and as far as we know, the silver will expire on May 12; Hou Ye's white paper workshop started construction at the same time, and I am afraid that this silver will be invested soon, where will I get the spare money? Moreover, Song Houye is actively signing prepaid agreements with merchants from all over the world to purchase shops, isn't this a shortage of silver? ”

Song Nan was shocked, it turned out that his details had been clearly explored by these people, and he couldn't help but feel a little wary in his heart.

"Hou Ye Song, the two of us are also out of the way today, and if you reveal a top-secret news to Hou Ye, you will know how sincere I and Hou Ye Gao are when we come today." Gao Zhengtai leaned over and whispered, Gao Hu got up and came to the door of the private room, looked around at the empty third floor of the Chunfeng Building, turned around and carefully closed the curtain at the door of the box.

Song Nan felt more and more that the two of them were acting strangely, so he heard Jiao Zhengtai say in a low voice: "Song Houye, there are already people in the regimental camp who are jealous that you monopolize the development of the white paper workshop, and the profits are rolling; But you buy idle land first, and they can't do much. But they are already secretly negotiating to buy all the private houses of the White Paper Workshop that Hou Ye Song has not yet purchased, and they want to sing against Hou Ye in the White Paper Workshop. ”

Song Nan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Do they also want to build a shop and a house?" How can it be? I have bought most of the private houses here, and only more than 100 households are scattered in the central and northern regions, and they have bought those private houses, how can they develop the climate; Isn't that a loss-making business? ”

Jiao Zhengtai smiled and said, "Master Song, you can't develop it, can't you be idle?" The land of the house does not open its mouth to ask for food, as long as it can make Song Houye's development plan fragmented, this will achieve the goal. These private houses are interspersed between the land purchased by the Marquis of Song, which is like a fresh cowhide, which is unsightly and not to mention, if you get some beggars and ruffians to live in the future, who will dare to be neighbors? Does Lord Song understand their intentions? ”

Song Nan took a breath, the plan for the purchase of private residential land in Baizhifang was indeed not going very fast, the residents of the southern district were dense, and the focus was also on the southern district; Because the two places in the north and central are full of wasteland and barren forests, these are the official lands that Song Nan bought with money, so he did not focus on them for the time being. As everyone knows, there are still many private houses scattered in the north and central places, just like when Yang Yiqing returned to seclusion, didn't he also buy a piece of land by the lake and build a house to live in?

If the marquis really took advantage of this loophole and bought these mansions first, it would be really a tricky thing to let these private houses be idle and not sell, destroying their overall layout and planning.

"Marquis Song, this time you believe in the sincerity of the two of us." Jiao Zhengtai looked at Song Nan's somewhat anxious expression and smiled: "After Marquis Song knows the news, he can speed up the acquisition of private houses and private land, so that he can take the lead and prevent this from happening." ”

Song Nan sighed and said, "With all due respect, the two Hou Masters have taken a great risk by telling me about this, aren't you afraid that the other Hou Masters will blame you?" ”

Jiao Zhengtai smiled and said: "Marquis Song, the regimental camp has long been not monolithic, although we don't want to admit it, but it is an indisputable fact that the regimental and battalion marquis have lost the glory of the past. Gao Hou and I don't want to sit still, so we want to make some new friends. Song Houye's ability and ability are well known to everyone in the world, if we still look at people with old eyes and regard Song Houye as an outsider, then we can't get along with ourselves. After the Marquis of Song broke into my military camp that day, I was thinking about this problem, if this incident happened to any marquis in the regimental camp, I am afraid that the whole dynasty will be impeached, and the emperor will definitely be punished, even if it is prevaricated with that reason, it will not be able to prevaricate. But the Marquis of Song simply retreated, and the emperor didn't even say a word of blame, this is the difference. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "So what? ”

Jiao Zhengtai said: "However, Hou Ye Gao and I are willing to release our suspicions with Hou Ye Song and maintain a good relationship." I don't have any other requirements, I just hope that Marquis Song can let us get some benefits. In the future, when the Marquis of Song and the Marquis of the regimental camp turn their faces, they will raise their noble hands to me and the Marquis Gao. ”

Song Nan sneered: "If you say this, if I recite it again, the more I talk about it, the more I will lose it, what do you mean that I will turn my face with the Hou Ye in the future, what is this called." ”

Jiao Zhengtai said with a straight face: "Hou Ye, don't blame me for speaking straightforwardly, we have done a lot of investigations on Song Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye of the regimental camp are not fools; Judging from the past experience of Marquis Song, this day will come sooner or later. After the British Duke Zhang Lun stepped down as the governor of the regimental battalion, we firmly believed in this view, and the Marquis of Song gave up the post of governor of the regimental battalion when he was appointed by the little grandfather, isn't it just to be able to deal with the regimental battalion without being restrained? On the day that Dingguo Gong took office, Hou Ye, you came to my military camp to break into the camp and arrest people, isn't this just an embarrassing start for Ding Guogong? ”

Song Nan couldn't help but begin to admire this Jiao Zhengtai, but he didn't expect that under the rough appearance of this marijuana face, there was such a delicate mind, and he couldn't figure out his behavior.

"Hou Ye Jiao is not simple." Song Nan nodded slightly.

"Don't praise me, Hou Ye Song, this is all analyzed by Hou Ye Gao, I don't have such a careful mind; Gao Hou Ye is not only my good brother, but we are also my sons and daughters, he is a bystander, and he can see it more clearly than me, so he wakes up the dreamer with a word. ”

Song Nan looked at Gao Hu in surprise, Gao Hu's face showed shyness, this person was silent, but he was a delicate person.

"Admire, Marquis Gao." Song Nan arched his hand.

Gao Hu hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Don't be surprised by Lord Song, Gao is just thinking about it." ”

Song Nan stretched out his hand and slapped the table, Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu were startled, Song Nan said with a smile: "Okay, when it comes to this, if I don't reveal my heart, I will be a person who hides his head and tail." I'll admit that some of what you're saying is really what I have in mind. Today, the two Hou Ye can put their hearts into Song, Song is both surprised and relieved, come, let's do this toast, and then I have something to say to the two Hou Ye. ”

Song Nan took the wine glass and drank it all, Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu glanced at each other, and hurriedly raised their glasses to dry the wine.

Song Nan coughed and spoke quietly.
