"The second shopkeeper, this 'Huangkou Xiaoer'er' is the Yugan Li Sanlang who broke Yintuo and beat Lou San, and Dr. Tea on the street is talking about him!" Wuji couldn't hold back any longer, and kindly reminded him.

"Li Defense?" Wang Jinsheng was still stunned on the spot, and a fat man behind him jumped into the house and knelt down: "Grass people Wang Jintang, please say hello to the defense lord!"

Li Dan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when this shopkeeper first met Zhao Chongbi before, he had seen himself.

Seeing that his brother was kneeling, Wang Jinsheng came to his senses, quickly took a step back and knelt down, and said loudly: "The grass people don't know that the adults have arrived, forgive the sins, forgive the sins!"

"Wake up, two of you!" Li Dan stepped forward from his seat to help his brother get up, and said:

"Li was ordered by Yugan County to lead the team back to Yugan to prepare for the thief, passing through your land, and here you will know Lord Zhao in the Hou Mansion and listen to the teachings. Li has already handed over the envoy, and now he is a citizen, not an official, so don't be polite, please sit down and talk."

The two brothers thanked him, and Wang Jintang sat down under Li Dan, and Wang Jinsheng sat opposite Li Dan. Li Dan introduced them to Wuji, and then said:

"I have come twice in 10,000 years, and I have met with friends in the four seas, but it is fate." He smiled and asked Wang Jintang, "Why are you a night owl?" I remember the last time I broke up with Zhao Tongzhi, you were the one who sent you to the door."

"Hehe, adults don't know." Wang Jintang smiled embarrassedly:

"The villain does business in the store, even after closing (closing), he can't rest, and some ingredients are prepared and pickled overnight.

For example, the banquet at the house of the adults has a small party to set a date, and the materials must be prepared the night before they can be completed in one go the next day.

Otherwise, you won't be able to do it temporarily, and the taste won't get in, and you'll be in a hurry.

This shop is under the grandparents is the imperial kitchen in the palace, to avoid the war disaster when Jing is in trouble, the family moved to Ganzhou and began to operate the brand. When his father was in his father's generation, he happened to meet the county magistrate of Wannian at that time, and he was invited to open a business in the local area.

Since childhood, he has been ordered by his father's ear to raise his face, and he does not dare to neglect the affairs of the guests, and over time he will develop this problem of day and night. That's why it's called 'night owls, laughing, laughing.'"

"Oh, I see. Li likes to do this, and he is diligent and conscientious." Li Dan nodded and turned to Wang Jinsheng: "I think Brother Ru is a sincere person, but your behavior is very different. Not only have you practiced martial arts, but you must have experienced it in the army, right?"

Wang Jinsheng was startled, and immediately woke up to the fact that the young man opposite had led thousands of regiments to sweep the rebels and relieve the siege of Shangrao, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and he was busy and said:

"I know that I can't escape the eyes of adults, and the villain was recruited in the army when he was young, and he did a long job. Later, because he was not accustomed to the behavior of his superiors, he spent money to get rid of his military status (see note 1:) and returned to his hometown to run this business with his brother for a living."

"Your brother has a nickname, so you should have a talent too?"

Wang Jinsheng looked at his brother: "The villain is called the 'Golden Leopard' because of the scar on the back of his neck." After saying that, he turned around and pulled down his collar.

Li Dan looked at it, vaguely recognized it, and said, "Do you like to eat seafood and ice products, but don't like melons, fruits and vegetables?"

"How do adults know?" Wang Jinsheng's eyes widened.

"This scar has a name, called 'Dark Cloud Scar) (that is, the chocolate scar of later generations, because there was no such thing as chocolate at that time, so Li Dan renamed it).

This scar is mostly caused by the mother's preference for hot things during pregnancy, such as beef and mutton, or may be caused by an overdose of hot substances in the medicine. Therefore, when giving birth to a child, they will not only like cold food, but also be prone to dryness."

"Your Excellency is a god!"

Li Dan laughed: "There's nothing magical there, it's just that I read more medical skills. Now you have to cultivate your temperament, and you must strive to be a righteous and peaceful person, otherwise your irritability will not decrease, and it may be passed on to your children."

Speaking of this, he had observed the two brothers for a long time and felt a little relieved, so he changed the topic: "When it comes to the matter of stocks, Li didn't laugh casually. It's not a secret, not only the jade clear stream, but also the brewing of phoenix milk and phoenix springs

All of them are from the younger brother's industry."

The two of them were taken aback again, and listened to him continue:

"Now that the chaos is still unsettled, I am moving the wine farm to Yugan, and the production of wine may take a little longer to gradually recover, so the wine you are drinking now is all the rest of the previous one, but I also need to make a plan for the post-war business.

Although it is not possible to supply large quantities immediately, if your brother wishes, I can still enter into a contract to transfer the right of sale in this county to you.

In addition, I will help you adjust your business, change the dishes, pass on the menu coefficient of my Li Mansion to Sihaiju, and allow any branch of the restaurant to be used."

"In his absence before, Jin Sheng is really not in charge. But since it's down, what ...... Dare to have a reluctant request." Wang Jintang was so excited that his face flushed.

The monopoly of wine in one place means the control and monopoly of the market in the region, and he knows very well the profits in it. looked at his younger brother who also had a sparkle in his eyes, and then looked at Li Dan, and plucked up the courage to say:

"Ten thousand years of barrenness, noble wine sold not much. Can...... Will Leping and Dexing simply be assigned to my brothers?"

"Do you have the money?" Li Dan also knew that this was his excuse, in fact, it was already a lot of profit for Sihaiju, who only had one store, to be able to sell in one county, but if the two brothers were ambitious and capable, he would not object to supporting them to expand the market.

"Well, let's scrape it together, and if it's not enough, just try to borrow."

"If you need to borrow, how much are you going to borrow from the business in the three counties?"

Wang Jintang turned his head to look at his younger brother, talked to Wang Jinsheng in a low voice for a while, and then pinched his fingers to calculate, and said, "The main thing is the purchase and labor of the store, as well as the cost of transportation. As for the purchase cost, it depends on the price that Saburo gives us."

"If you don't talk about shipping and purchases, how much will it cost to estimate the cost of other estimates?"

"In that case, it will cost about two hundred taels."

"Good!" Li Dan patted the table: "After I go back, I will discuss this matter, I will definitely give you the best price for the goods, and I will provide you with new wine first."

As for loans, don't borrow usury or other harmful things. Come to me and give Sihaiju a loan limit of 500 taels a year, with an annual interest rate of 10% and a half, how about it?"

At that time, it was very benevolent to borrow money at an annual interest rate of 30% and a half. The brothers were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly agreed.

Li Dan said that he would send someone to draw the shareholding contract early tomorrow morning, but the supply of wine could not start until the war was settled, and the loan contract could be counted from now on.

"However, those two counties are also quite unstable at the moment, I advise you not to rush to open a semicolon for now, and wait until later." Since he is a shareholder, of course, he does not want the money invested to be wasted.

Knowing that Li Dan was going to meet with Zhao Tongzhi, the brothers retired with excitement after discussing business for a while. When he went downstairs, Wang Jintang almost burst out happy!

According to what Li Dan said to them in the future, he would buy the property of Beizhuang in the next ten thousand years, and also take this as the main point to purchase iron, copper, coal, lime, crystal, quartz, mica and other minerals, the richness of the content made his brother stunned.

Although he didn't know what Li Dan wanted to do with so many miscellaneous minerals, Wang Jintang could conclude that Li Dan must have made up his mind to buy a large number of minerals and agricultural products from Wannian for a long time, and the time for his brother to show his skills had come!

So he arranged for his younger brother to greet Zhao Chongbi at the door in person, and he ran to cook by himself, to serve Li and Zhao for tonight's dinner.

"Brother really wants to buy a house in 10,000 years? When did you decide?" Wuji asked.

"When your brother-in-law took us to camp in the day." Li Dan replied, "He showed us the land near Zoutang. However, I already had the idea of opening a store near 10,000 years to receive goods." Li Dan poured himself a glass of wine:

"You should also have heard Chen Sanlang (Chen Sanwen) say that it takes a lot of things to build that carriage and magnifying glass, and the best quality of these materials is in Fuzhou, Ji'an, and Jianchang.

If I open my own store, there will be a problem, not only do I not understand the local situation, but also the acquisition, transshipment, and settlement need a lot of people to do things, and it is completely up to me

's subordinates can't do it, so they have to combine with local merchants.

In addition, the cost of opening your own store is not small, so it is better to consider using today's joint stock method to do it hand in hand with local people in the early stage."

"However, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my brother to get the best price."

"Well, that's right. However, when one's own strength is insufficient, compromise and concession are one way. As for the best price, it depends on strength, and it is naturally not difficult to have strength."

Li Dan raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Ji as he spoke, and joked with a smile: "Shiyun (Wu Ji's new character) seems to have learned a lot from Brother Ziru (Chen Sanwen's character), and he actually knows that he has to strive for the lowest price in business."

Wuji's face was a little red, and he quickly changed the subject: "You are so optimistic about this place of Wannian? The brother-in-law of Zou Tang also mentioned it, didn't everyone say that it was unlucky?"

"If you want to choose a place, you have to look at its general trend, not some small topics such as bad luck and auspiciousness." Li Dan said:

"The terrain is high in the southeast and low in the northwest, especially in the north, where it borders Poyang, and the terrain is gentle, and the navigable rivers and well-maintained pipelines are relatively dense, which is very beneficial for the circulation of products.

Many of the mineral-rich products produced in the eastern and southern mountainous areas are gathered here for transshipment. If you look at the so many warehouses inside and outside the city, you will know how many mines there are in this area and how many good things can be used.

The quality and output of local copper and iron are not as good as those in Leping and Dexing, but I heard that in addition to copper and iron, the amount of other minerals developed, purchased and transshipped is very small, and the price is very cheap. It's a treasure trove that no one pays attention to!"

"Oh! Isn't your picture of copper or iron? Is it other minerals? So why do you have to buy a property?"

"There are several intentions for buying property, one is that I can leave some of the armed forces in the name of protecting Beizhuang, and the other is to maintain trust and liaison with the local government, after all, Heng has his own property.

There is also a layer of meaning, which is to save part of the cost and time of warehouse and transshipment, or use our way and channel for transshipment. For example, by horse-drawn carts, for example, by transporting them to Anren ......."

"Anren? Not Yu Gan?" Goyoshi's eyes widened.

"Well, our iron factory and cement factory may be located in Anren, where there is plenty of water, and I am discussing with Brother Ziru how to use water power for iron forging and lime firing."

"I thought you were going to expel the thieves, regain the lost territory, and save the ...... of Zhouzhi County?"

"Kill or capture him for the best, it's too cheap to expel him. It is also necessary to recover Anren, so that Yu Gan can be safe. As for that magistrate, I don't know if it's a nerd yet, and I'll talk about it when I find it, but I hope not."

Li Dan glanced at Wu Ji sympathetically, "I'm sorry, but I can't let the brothers die just for the sake of fame.

Taking Anren not only controlled the trade routes, but also gave Yu Gan the possibility of stable development.

Moreover, it can give full play to its advantages in water power and digest a large number of minerals purchased from Wannian, Leping and Dexing nearby, so that Anren can form two pillar industries of metal smelting and forging, cement synthesis and processing.

We have made money, Anren has become rich, and the remaining cadres have been preserved, and everyone is happy. Isn't that right?" After Li Dan finished speaking, he gently patted the stunned Wuji's arm.

"I, alas! Although it is only two months apart, it is really difficult to look at my brother's back!" Wuji was ashamed to give his hand.

Li Dan laughed and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to be so modest. At this time, Wuji suddenly got up and shook it to the end, so bluffing that Li Dan also quickly got up and returned the salute, and asked, "What is Shiyun doing?"

"The younger brother has a request, and I hope the elder brother will grant it." Wuji made up his mind and said, "My younger brother has followed his brother for a long time, and he has consciously grown up in the competition and studied for three years! Saburo and Brother Ziru advocated that the study of things should be applied to the people, and the younger brother respected it.

After thinking about it, isn't my generation studying for the well-being of the people? If you learn what you can learn, you can benefit the people, and you will not hesitate to do so. Ji, I sincerely want to join the Chashan Society, follow my brother to lead the horse and fall into the stirrups, I hope my brother will allow it!"
