Qiu Wansheng, who heard this, didn't care, but looked very excited.

At the same time, he took out the scroll from his bosom and slowly opened it, and when he saw that the material on the scroll was like silk, he knew that it was expensive.

"I learned that the Protector came to Jiangdu City, and I took a special boat to meet here, wearing the stars and the moon, and there was no other preparation for coming out, the above is my meeting gift to the Protector, please smile."

Qiu Wansheng handed the half-open scroll to the guard's hand, then took two steps back, waiting for Li Yue to look through it.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue was also very curious and took the scroll.

When I opened it and slowly saw the list above, a look of shock appeared on my flat face.

The list attached to it is full of firearms, leather, and even 3,000 horses.

After reading it, Li Yue was shocked and felt that the strength of the Qiu family in Tongzhou was extraordinary.

The list of gifts recorded on the scroll can definitely arm a good army of tens of thousands.

"Such a generous gift to Li is deserved, I don't know what Mr. Qiu and I have to discuss?"

Li Yue saw Qiu Wansheng with a shocked look on his face, and immediately felt that the other party must have something to ask for, otherwise he would not be so generous.

"I want to enter the mansion and talk to Grandpa Guo, as for what to ask for, I will talk to Grandpa Guo in detail then."

Qiu Wansheng said very boldly.

Hearing this, Li Yue looked at the other people and took a deep breath, thought about it again and again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

just smiled indifferently, nodded in agreement, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, and didn't seem to intend to enter with Qiu Wansheng.

However, Qiu Wansheng didn't think so, and after Li Yue agreed, he hurriedly followed in.

This made Fan Zhongqiao, who originally wanted to make amends to Li Yue outside the door, very angry.

"Master Fan, this fat man Qiu is really excessive, relying on his connections in Nandu to control Tongzhou Port, always smuggling some contraband, and not taking them seriously at all."

A domestic slave of the Fan family said with a look of disdain.

Hearing the words of the house slave, Fan Zhongqiao did not pay attention to it, but turned around and got on his horse and rode away quickly.

Qiu Wansheng, who entered the courtyard, was very regular, and did not look around, but just followed Li Yue to the living room.

There are only two people in the huge living room, and there is not even a girl pouring tea next to them.

"It's very ingenious, and it is made of this fine silk and satin, which is very extravagant and very high."

At this moment, Li Yue played with the scroll in his hand and observed the material of the scroll with great interest.

"Huh? Oh...... Hey hey ......"

Qiu Wansheng didn't quite understand what Li Yue said, but he could guess that it was probably a compliment, so he nodded a little embarrassed.

Li Yue couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time looked at Qiu Wansheng with an approving gaze, as if he was looking at a local tyrant.

"Grandpa Guo, I really came here this time to ask for something."

"Please!"

"I know that Grandpa Guo has developed a large-scale drug that can treat the plague in Huaining Mansion, and I want the right to sell it on the southeast coast."

Qiu Wansheng said confidently.

Hearing this, Li Yue was immediately shocked.

Originally, there was not much drug production made in Huaining Mansion, and when he heard that the other party wanted to buy out the ownership of the southeast coast, he immediately frowned.

"Although there has not been a large-scale plague in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou, as the displaced people disperse, the plague will also come one after another.

Li Yue said with a sneer.

"Grandpa Guo, it's not my family, it's our two families, I don't buy out any medicines, but in this coastal area, my Qiu family has many shops, and I only account for 30% of the profits from the drugs sold."

Qiu Wansheng showed a very frank expression, and the profits mentioned were divided into thirty percent, and Li Yue suddenly felt that this method was feasible.

Originally, Li Yue didn't want to sell drugs in Huaining Mansion on a large scale.

After all, although this can bring more silver, it can also revitalize the sluggish economy and make the lives of the people richer.

But at the same time, it will also attract the prying eyes of more forces, and at that time, Huaining Mansion will be a fattened pig, and anyone can come and take a bite.

"You said I could seriously consider this matter, but do you mean that the southeast coast does not include the north side?"

Li Yue was full of mystery, and his voice was a little lowered.

It seems to be hinting at the other party, and at the same time, he wants to probe the details of the other party.

Hearing this, Qiu Wansheng, who was originally calm and calm, became flustered for a while.

His eyes flickered, as if he didn't dare to say something in his heart, but after a while, he showed a very calm expression.

"Don't hide it from Grandpa, our Qiu family in the north has a direct sea route from Tongzhou to Port Arthur, although it is a bit contradictory to say this, but not only our family has trade with the north, but the same is true of other families."

Qiu Wansheng said with a calm face.

Hearing what the other party said, Li Yue understood that this would definitely not be fake.

And looking at the sincerity of the other party, you can understand that the other party really wants to cooperate with you.

"I know that not only the southeast coast, but also the major wealthy families have contact with the north, and even the northwest Jin merchants are also traveling thousands of miles, just for money, I understand."

Li Yue looked a little helpless, and at the same time felt sad for the Ming Dynasty to have so many good subjects.

Hearing this, Qiu Wansheng's expression also relaxed, until Li Yue was not disgusted by this.

After all, in this chaotic and turbulent era, there are a few people who do not do it for themselves, but only for the public.

"Grandpa Guo can understand the difficulties below, it really makes me grateful, in fact, we don't want to do this, but if we don't do this, we won't be able to survive in this chaotic situation."

Qiu Wansheng's face was full of bitterness, as if there was something unspeakable.

Li Yue can see that if he can be a good person, no one will choose to be a traitor.

"It's okay, if you want to cooperate with me, then I must also have a share of this sea line in the north, although I don't advocate trade with them, but the leather horses and medicinal materials outside the customs are what I need."

Li Yue smiled indifferently and looked at the other party with a meaningful look, which immediately made Qiu Wansheng understand what was going on.

"Grandpa Guo, if this is the case, I will definitely do my best to transport the things from the north to you."

Qiu Wansheng said very solemnly.

Hearing these words, Li Yue was in a very happy mood.

It's just that his face showed a very plain look, and a piece of heart sickness in his heart quietly disappeared.

After all, horses are the most important thing in the places under their control, and there are no large livestock farms at all.

And there are very few standard war horses, and originally livestock farms such as the Taifu Temple of the Northern Imperial Court could provide war horses to various local governments.
