Chapter 40: Money, Dung Only

In ancient times, people were keen to erect monuments to raise their reputations and even pass them on for generations. Most of them are just unknown people.

But absolutely no businessman would oppose this whimsical idea of Wang Xianling.

Just because, compared with the previous compulsory "donation", this donation to build the road is not so much a requisition, but a transaction made by Wang Xianling and the merchants.

In this deal, they only had to voluntarily donate money, food and supplies, and it was truly "voluntary".

In exchange, Wang County's order was not only a false name on a stone tablet, but also his power and prestige as a landlord.

The businessman is just pursuing profits, preparing for a partnership to make such a fuss, but in fact, it is not out of grudges, but just forced by the situation and misled.

Those old friends are all people who are good at judging the situation, and Huang Liuye is very sure that after the matter is clarified, they will not refuse to make this deal with the county government.

With the name of a good businessman who takes the initiative to fund and support the construction of roads, at least it can reduce a lot of trouble for their business.

Those who are proud of their books will look up to them because of their good deeds.

Every time the guards at the city gate entered the city to inspect it, they no longer dared to make more difficulties.

Although it is not accessible everywhere, it is also a lot of benefits.

This is where Huang Liuye's confidence lies in his willingness to persuade his old friends to contribute.

Seeing that Huang Liuye not only accepted it when he saw it, but he was extremely good, he did not hesitate at all, and he did not care about Huang Xiancheng's reaction.

even directly took care of everything, with a posture of seeking things for the people and having an unshirkable responsibility.

Chen Ping was a little unsure of this person's thoughts.

Could it be that Huang Xiancheng and this Huang Liuye have long been disliked, and now they have reached the point where they are about to turn their faces.

Just when Chen Ping was almost about to comply with his wishes, he was assigned to persuade other merchants in place of Wang Xianling.

In the direction of the back hall, there were suddenly a few light coughs, not loud, but very urgent, as if urging and waking up.

It's Ye Lao's voice!

Chen Ping instantly realized that something was wrong!

Since Ye Lao agreed to let him come to meet this person, it was not just as simple as letting him be responsible for greeting Huang Liuye, but he regarded this matter as an experience for himself.

If it is not an emergency, it will definitely not be given.

Unless, the Huang Liuye in front of him who smiled like Maitreya Buddha and looked harmless to humans and animals.

has quietly rolled out a big net for himself!

There must be something else.

Chen Ping closed his eyes slightly, ignoring the surprised gazes cast by Huang Liuye and Zhao Jin, and reconsidered his previous words and deeds.

Huang Liuye must have something abnormal!

But where is the abnormality and where is this net, Chen Ping couldn't understand it for a while.

I had never been in contact with such a shrewd person in my previous life, and I was really inexperienced in this kind of negotiation game.

However, this is not an unsolvable flaw.

Because as long as people are not stupid, after a few thoughts, they can always find that they are tired.

Recalling Huang Liuye's movements and demeanor, Chen Ping's heart suddenly shook.

No, he's just too enthusiastic!

Being able to exchange money and food for fame and reputation is indeed a good thing for Huang Liuye, and it is worth rejoicing.

But this happiness should not be like this, after all, it is just a transaction.

The most unusual thing is that Huang Liuye took the initiative to apply for Wang County's saddle before and after the horse, to persuade others to donate.

He was a little enthusiastic about this matter.

Even if Huang Liuye really had such a ability to persuade other businessmen to donate generously to this matter, how good would this be for him?

It is worth him to oppose the water in public and fall out with Huang Xiancheng on the bright side.

It is worth him to personally run and serve and lobby the Quartet.

It is worth his condescending visit and going to negotiate one household after another.

He is not an idler, he is the owner of Fuding Building.

Chen Ping's thoughts gradually cleared up, and Huang Liuye's careful thoughts had also been seen by him.

Okay, you Huang Liuye, you plan deep enough.

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth twitched, and he bowed his hand and declined: "Thank you Huang Liuye for your kindness, but the county has its own arrangements for persuading other businessmen." ”

"If you let Huang Liuye, you deign to work for such trivial things, wouldn't you become a messenger who runs errands for the county?"

"I think, this kind of rough work, it's better to find other people to do it, such as the blue proprietor of Fuqing Building."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Huang Liuye's mouth stiffened, and most of the smile on his face instantly dissipated, leaving only a complicated expression of smiling flesh without smiling.

This kid, isn't he really a demon?

The mind that was hidden so deeply was actually penetrated by a little childlike child in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Huang Liuye's sudden change of color, Chen Ping's heart was as sweet as drinking cane syrup honey water.

Sure enough, as he guessed, what Huang Liuye wanted most was not just to burn his name on that stone tablet.

His ambitions don't stop there.

Instead, he had to borrow the tiger skin of Wang County's order ruthlessly.

Sheep tiger skin, grass is pleasant.

If Huang Liuye had just gone out of the county office, he would directly persuade other businessmen, say a few words of "under the orders of the county respect", take advantage of the unstable wind, give himself some benefits, and then deliberately suppress the other party by the way.

Then Huang Liuye, who is already wealthy, only needs a little trick to sit on the first place among the businessmen in Yongshun County.

Businessmen are more profit-seeking, they don't complain too much about Huang Liuye, and if they get such power, they will inevitably make some moves.

And this dirty water of "bullying others" was naturally splashed on Wang Xianling in secret.

As long as Wang Xianling does not take the initiative to explain, in the minds of others, he is Huang Liuye's backer.

If there is trouble in the future, Huang Liuye will take this opportunity to say hello, and other businessmen will have to make it convenient for them to take care of the majesty of Wang County's order.

This is only for businessmen, more because Huang Liuye wants to use the name of Wang Xian Ling to bluff that Huang County Cheng.

As long as Huang Xiancheng is bluffed, Huang Liuye's safety will be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the offerings to the county can be reduced.

It can be said that in addition to his own long-term heart disease.

And scheming people like Huang Xiancheng are likely to be blinded by Huang Liuye's fox and fake tiger might.

Chen Ping thinks that it is very likely!

It's not that Huang Xiancheng is simple-minded, but there is no way to verify this, and it is impossible to find Wang Xianling to question him face-to-face.

Besides, if they really colluded in secret, how could Wang Xian Ling admit it generously.

Huang Liuye was driven by the county order of Wang on the surface, and he made great contributions to the construction of roads and horses before and after the donation, who dares to question that he is not the person of the county order.

Such a delicate mind like a spider's web, Chen Ping was also reminded by Ye Lao, according to the inference of guilt, and only then did he get it little by little.

But the Huang Sixth Master in front of him was able to dig such a big hole in such a short period of time before, and his sense of smell of opportunities was so keen, which was really terrifying.

And Huang Liuye was even more terrifying at this time!

glanced at Chen Ping solemnly, and finally stopped treating him as a milky junior.

Unexpectedly, Huang Liuye did not dwell too much on this matter at all, nor did he fight for it again, but directly brushed it off.

Without even waiting for Chen Ping to ask, he reported the amount he planned to donate.

"The villain is willing to donate five thousand taels of silver!"

As soon as this number came out, not only Chen Ping was stunned, but the coughing sounds of the two came from the back hall one after another.

Five thousand taels is definitely not a small number.

Some time ago, many officials colluded with each other to fight up and down, relying on the main book and the county to cover up, and a total of less than 2,000 taels of ink were greedy!

Now just to leave his name on the stone tablet, he decisively took out five thousand taels of silver.

Chen Ping never believed that this Huang Liuye would love his false name to such a degree.

In Yongshun County, five thousand taels of silver has exceeded the entire net worth of a medium-sized businessman.

If it is used to train the children of the family to study the imperial examination, I am afraid it is enough to cultivate a few talents.

If you meet a very smart child, you can even rely on this money to pile up a person!

In the face of Huang Liuye's spending, before Chen Ping could think about how to respond, Wang Xianling and Ye Lao had already moved to the front hall.

Wang Xianling really couldn't sit still.

I have worked hard for several years, begging my grandfather to tell my grandmother that I don't have enough money and food to repair the road.

One Huang Liuye can take out five thousand taels, so how much silver can the merchants of the entire Yongshun County raise?

Could it be that the budget shortage can be solved once and for all?

Wang Xianling's face was flushed, and he was even more excited than when he was named on the gold list.

It can really be described as a long drought and a rainy day.

Huang Liuye was still smiling, as if the five thousand taels of silver were not money, just dung.
