His name is Li Zhong, and he is responsible for the safety of Liu's mansion.

The reason why Li Zhong was able to become the Liu family's guard was because of his excellent martial arts skills and his ability to observe words and feelings.

When the Liu family recruited guards outside, they took a fancy to Li Zhong and recruited him in.

Qin Fan nodded, "Okay."

The two then walked in the direction of the hall.

When I walked into the hall, I saw a large table with a hearty meal and a bottle of wine.

"Lord Prefectural, it's rare to have Yaxing today, let's not get drunk and not return!"

As soon as Qin Fan sat down, Li Zhong picked up the wine jug, poured a glass towards Qin Fan, and said.

Qin Fan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the taste was very sweet.

His goal was to find a source of food, and he had little appetite for these meals.

"Good wine, good wine."

Seeing that Qin Fan didn't drink, a trace of regret appeared on Li Zhong's face, but he quickly returned to normal: "I don't know if my brother came to me, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Qin Fan raised his head and looked at Li Zhong and said, "You are the commander of the Liu family's guards, you should know who is in whose hands the biggest business in Wannian County now, right?"

Qin Fan didn't beat around the bush and said the purpose of his trip bluntly.

When Li Zhong heard Qin Fan's inquiry, a look of embarrassment flashed on his face.

He knew that Qin Fan must have investigated his details.

He also knew that Qin Fan's actions this time must have his own purpose, but Li Zhong couldn't help it.

Qin Fan is right, he is now the commander of the guards of Wannian County, but the Liu family has extremely high rights in Wannian County, and the former county order must also obey the arrangements of the Liu family.

"Brother Liu, I'll tell you the truth, the biggest shop in Wannian County belongs to our family."

"But I don't dare to disobey the orders of the head of the family, otherwise once the family gets angry, I will not escape my fate."

Li Zhong sighed and said slowly.

The largest shop in Wannian County is controlled by the Liu family, but the Liu family is only in charge of a small part of Wannian County's economic resources.

Qin Fan nodded, not caring about this.

Isn't the purpose of his coming here to find the largest merchant in Wannian County, and then cooperate with it as much as possible to strengthen his own power?

So he didn't care about Li Zhong's attitude.

"Then I'll buy your small shops first for your patriarch."

Qin Fan said with a smile, his eyes full of playfulness.

Hearing this, Li Zhong's face was as pale as earth, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Please forgive the villain, these shops were created by the head of the family, if the son wants to rob them, the head of the family will probably not agree."

Cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.

Although the production of this Wannian County is controlled by the Liu government, it is also the private property of the Liu family and cannot be resold casually.

If Qin Fan really robbed their small shops, the head of the family probably wouldn't agree.

"How many small shops do you have in the Liu family?"

Qin Fan asked suddenly.

Li Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Qin Fan suddenly asked him how many small shops there were in Wannian County, but he still answered truthfully: "There are fifty-two stores in total."

Fifty-two shops, this is already all the money that the Liu Mansion can muster, but Qin Fan still persevered, and continued to ask, "What is the value of all the shops in Wannian County combined?"

"Fifty million taels of silver."

Li Zhong was silent for a moment and said a number that made him feel distressed.

Although these small shops are not worth much, they are after all the income of their hard work.

Hearing the fifty million silver, Qin Fan couldn't help but shake his head: "This is a fair price, although the small shop here is not valuable, if it can be resold, it will be worth at least about 100 million."

After listening to Qin Fan's words, Li Zhong's face was like ashes, he didn't expect that Qin Fan was so familiar with the shops in Wannian County.

He originally wanted to dissuade Qin

Fan, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

A place like Wannian County is a barren land, and there are no business opportunities at all.

Qin Fan was able to come to this kind of place, he must have wanted to earn a lot of silver taels, and these small shops undoubtedly provided him with opportunities.

"I can pay 60 million taels, will you sell it or not?"

Qin Fan asked again, a confident smile on his face.

These 60 million taels are really a drop in the bucket for Qin Fan, but he still hopes to be able to buy the largest shop in Wannian County at the lowest price!

"Sixty million taels?"

Hearing this price, Li Zhong's heart jumped violently.

You must know that the Liu family's annual income over the years is only five million taels.

"I'll think about it."

After a while, Li Zhong said slowly.

Qin Fan didn't urge, and stood quietly aside, waiting for Li Zhong's decision.

After a long time, Li Zhong gritted his teeth and said slowly, "Okay! Sixty million taels is sixty million taels, I promised! 「

Li Zhong agreed to it neatly, which made Qin Fan couldn't help but be surprised.

You know, generally speaking, if the head of their family came in person, I am afraid that they would definitely not agree to sell it to him.

"Young Master Qin, can you trade now?"

After a while, Li Zhong spoke.

Qin Fan shook his head: "Don't worry, I have other things to do, and when it's done, I will send someone to take over these shops."

He has another thing to do, which is to uproot the Liu family's power in Wannian County, and there can be no more hidden dangers!

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Li Zhong hurriedly said.

In the following days, Qin Fan did not leave the Liu Mansion because he needed to wait for news from Li Zhong.

Li Zhong promised to transfer the largest shop in Wannian County to Qin Fan, so he naturally needed to make some preparations.

He called the largest shop in Wannian County "Wangufang", with a scale of more than ten acres of land.

The three words "Wangufang" are a resounding signboard in Wannian County, and it can be regarded as a well-known shop.

Wangufang occupies a wide street, and the surrounding shops are almost all attached to the vicinity of Wangufang.

And this street is also the main street of Wannian County.

"Now that the business of Wannian County has developed, I can only carry out my next plan with money."

Qin Fan walked on the street, his eyes looked around, and he secretly sighed.

Although there are a large number of shops around Wangu Fang, most of these shops are very old.

There are even some shop plaques that have decayed and fallen off, and they are written with all kinds of strange patterns, which look a little eerie.

Qin Fan walked to the door of one of the shops and stepped into the Wangufang.

"Boss, this is the largest container in our store, we have everything here, what kind of things you need, you just need to talk to the proprietress and someone will help you get the goods!"

As soon as Qin Fan entered the door, a guy greeted him and said with a smile.
