Lu Junbi listened for a while, but he didn't understand what Wang Yuanwai meant, so he asked bluntly: "How does Yuanwai want to treat him?" ”

Wang Yuanwai only said four words: "Strange goods can live." ”

Lu Junbi immediately understood, although he felt that "Friend Wang" was full of danger, and he was a little scared in his heart, but Wang Yuanwai was not afraid of things, and Lu Xiucai couldn't do anything about it.

"What is the other person going to do?" Lu Junbi asked again.

Wang Yuanwai replied very confidently: "For a young man, especially a scholar, as long as you give him enough three things, career, prestige, and love, you will definitely be able to impress him!" ”

Lu Junbi was stunned for a moment, and after savoring it, he felt that these "three things" were too reasonable.

He also had to admit that Wang Yuanwai has a strong insight and control over human nature.

Coming out of Wang's house, it was getting close to evening, and Lu Junbi went to visit "Friend Wang" again.

When Lin Tailai saw Lu Junbi, he said, "Brother Lu came by coincidence, I was about to say goodbye to you!" ”

Lu Junbi was surprised, "This is leaving?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "I came to Yangzhou mainly to deal with the great master, and now that the matter has been completed, it is time to say goodbye." ”

Of course, Lin Daguan didn't really want to leave Yangzhou, he at least had to finish the exam here.

It's just that in order to avoid "startling the snake" and not wanting to expose his identity, he casually called himself "Wang Yusheng".

But it's too awkward to keep communicating with others under Wang Yusheng's name, so he simply pretends to be gone.

Anyway, he participated in the college examination for admitting Xiucai, and Lu Junbi participated in the scientific examination for upgrading the level, and the two should not meet.

In addition, 500 subordinates are coming soon, and of course it is better to be with them.

After thinking for a while, Lu Junbi said: "Even if it is a farewell, there should be a parting gift." Tomorrow I will have a banquet for Friend Wang, and please be sure to enjoy the light. ”

After the two said that they were separated, Lu Junbi hurriedly went back to prepare.

On the second day, Lu Junbi came to greet Lin Tailai again, and then led Lin Tai to the vicinity of the Taiping Bridge in the city.

Then he walked into a garden that was not too small, and Lin Tailai asked, "Where is this?" ”

Lu Junbi replied: "This place is called the Hidden Garden, which was built by the salt merchant Wang's family, covering an area of about fifteen acres.

I have a bit of a relationship with the Wang family, and today I borrowed the Hidden Garden to entertain Wang's friends. ”

Since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Yangzhou, which has re-developed, has been learning from Suzhou in all aspects, and the atmosphere of building gardens has also been learned.

Lin Daguan thought about it, and later generations did not have the impression of the hidden garden near the Taiping Bridge, and most of the most famous gardens in Yangzhou were products of the Qing Dynasty.

But this is also normal, hundreds of years of personnel changes, I don't know how many former attractions have been completely hidden in the long river of history.

Not every attraction can be like the Lingering Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, which can still leave a name and location after hundreds of years.

In the Xuantang under the rockery of the Hidden Garden, not long after Lu Junbi and Lin Tailai took their seats, suddenly a rich middle-aged man with a Dongpo hat on his head and a jade waist walked in.

Lu Junbi pretended to be surprised and said, "How did Wang Yuanwai get here?" ”

He hurriedly introduced Lin Tailai and said: "This is the Wang Yuanwai I mentioned, who is a single celebration, who makes a living from the salt industry, and is also the owner of the Hidden Garden. ”

Wang Yuanwai smiled at Lin Tai: "Lu Sheng has never asked me to borrow a garden banquet, but today I made an exception.

This made me wonder what kind of VIP came. Therefore, I am not invited, and I hope that Wang Sheng will not blame him! ”

What else can Lin Daguan say? Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, he is not a mad dog, he bites when he sees someone.

Besides, thinking of Wang Yuanwai's identity, Lin Tailai was suddenly very interested in chatting with Wang Yuanwai.

If you want to plant a flag in Yangzhou, you must understand the salt industry. However, the salt industry is a highly professional industry, and many industry insiders are only understood by the parties involved.

And Lin Tailai is also thinking about whether to get some nest books, and first plant the flag in Yangzhou City as a salt merchant.

There are two advantages to this: First, hundreds of years of historical experience have shown that under the salt system, the Lianghuai salt industry is one of the most profitable industries.

And now the Lianghuai salt industry has just begun to "break out", and it will become more and more profitable in the future.

Second, salt merchants have a special status in Yangzhou City, and entering Yangzhou as a salt merchant is equivalent to bringing their own halo, which is easier to gain recognition and reduce the difficulty of starting.

Another point is that his brother is currently the left attendant of the household department and the governor of Taicang, and he has a great voice in the household department.

The affairs of the salt industry are under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs at the macro level, which may be an opportunity.

After Wang Yuanwai also sat down, he began to beckon the maids to serve wine and food.

At the same time, he smiled at Lin Tailai and said: "This place is really a little narrow, and I am slow to treat VIPs."

After all, this hidden garden was built by my original practice, and it is cramped in the city, so it is indeed not big.

When I find a good place between the mountains and rivers outside the city, I will build another garden, and then I will ask Wang Shengduo to give advice. ”

Lin Tailai remembered the Canglang Pavilion he was plotting, and nodded with deep feeling:

"Fifteen acres is indeed a bit small, even if it is used for practice, it is a bit small. If I build a garden, I will start at least twenty or thirty acres. ”

Wang Yuanwai: "."

it! Obviously, he wanted to go to Versailles first and create an aura to grab people, but how could he be reflected back?

Feeling that he couldn't talk about the garden, Wang Yuanwai quietly changed the topic, and asked: "Listen to Lu Sheng, Wang Sheng, do you intend to establish a career in Yangzhou City?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "I do have this intention, but I don't have much clue at the moment.

I can probably only bring someone over to have a look first, familiarize myself with the situation of Yangzhou City, and wait until the time is more ripe before starting. ”

Wang Yuanwai pointed out and said: "With Wang Sheng's family background and talents, other small things are not interesting.

Therefore, we must start with the salt industry, and only when the salt industry is based can we be regarded as establishing a business in Yangzhou. ”

Lin Tailai took the opportunity to say: "If you want to start with the salt industry, how should you do it?" ”

"Hehehehe." Wang Yuanwai smiled again, I'm not afraid that you are interested, but I am afraid that you are not interested.

Lu Junbi, who didn't interject for a long time, thought, this is what the staff calls "career"?

But it's also normal, today's world is so extravagant, all kinds of consumption are getting higher and higher, who doesn't want to make money and get rich?

As long as Wang's friend asks the question of "how to enter the salt industry", it means that he has begun to take the bait.

What better way to do this than to become the son-in-law of a great salt merchant?

But instead of continuing to brag about how the salt industry made money, Wang began to emphasize the difficulties again.

"Nowadays, it is more difficult to enter the salt industry than before, and the biggest problem is to obtain the nest book first.

The government has a root book, and all the nest books and the list of nest merchants are registered on it, and cannot be changed at will.

However, the nest is linked to the production and cannot be distributed indefinitely, so it is difficult to increase it.

In this case, no one will transfer the nest capital, so it is becoming more and more difficult for the salt industry to have new people. ”

Lin Tailai felt that this nest book was equivalent to a license or license, and thinking of a similar situation in the previous world, he said casually: "If you can't get a nest book, then you can also rent it." ”

Wang Yuanwai said suspiciously: "Rent? What is the tenancy law? ”

Lin Tailai explained: "For example, if you have a nest of 10,000 salt leads, then you can rent it to me."

I am responsible for the sale of this 10,000 salt every year, and you don't need to go to the sales area to sell salt.

In this way, you only need to sit at home easily every year and collect the rent of the nest.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to save the pain of wading into the rivers and lakes, greatly reduce labor costs, and avoid the risk of unsalable? ”

Wang Yuanwai: "."

This sounds like it's a bit exciting.

No, it shouldn't be your own heart today! Wang Yuanwai hurriedly tightened his mind and said:

"Each of our salt merchants has its own salt area, and these areas are good and bad, and they don't have enough strength to occupy a good salt area."

Lin Tailai was surprised: "What's so difficult about finding a sales area?" What do you think of Suzhou? ”

Wang Yuanwai felt that there was no need to answer this question himself.

Suzhou is the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world, with an extremely dense population and a lot of money, close to Yangzhou, and convenient transportation.

It can be said that for Huainan salt industry, Suzhou is the best sales area, and there is no one.

Didn't Wang Yuanwai want to go to Suzhou to sell salt? It's just that various circumstances don't allow it.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanwai sighed and said: "Selling salt is not so simple, there are many rules and doorways in it.

Take your Suzhou as an example, first, it is currently Zheng Zhiyan's sales area, and if you want to go to Suzhou to sell salt, you have to tear your face with Zheng Zhiyan.

Second, Suzhou is too close to Zhejiang, and a lot of Zhejiang salt will be smuggled into Suzhou and impact the Huai salt market. ”

Lin Daguan said indifferently: "These are not problems, it's a trivial matter!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yuanwai felt that "Wang Sheng" was a little young and vigorous, and the noble son didn't know that the world was difficult.

So Wang Yuanwai emphatically said: "There is also the third and most important point, if you want to grab other people's salt areas, you must have the support of local Jianghu forces!"

When I say Jianghu forces, I refer to the halls of associations below the government level, industry offices, inspection departments, and so on.

Although your Dongshan Wang family is rich and noble, the transportation government will definitely have no problem, but it may not be able to control this kind of ground grassroots forces.

So, you may be thinking too simply. ”

Lin Tailai: "."

Sitting in front of Wang Yuanwai are the members of the Renewal Society, the actual speakers of the halls of the Xinwu Federation, the tax collectors of the nine capitals of Wu County, the guardians of the Xujiang River, the protectors of the Taihu boat households, the chief officials of the Mudu Port Branch, the big owners of the two engineering teams, and the chief controller of the Nanhao Street Market Management Office.

So, Wang Yuanwai, are you saying that who is not good at the Jianghu forces in Suzhou City?

Lin Daguan almost blew up his identity, but he still held back and said:

"Any problem is not a problem for me! What other questions do you have? ”

Wang Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, "If these are not problems, then there is no problem." ”

If you can solve all the above problems and occupy the sales area of Suzhou, you can wake up with a smile when you dream.

Lin Daguan smiled "haha" and patted the case: "Then Wang Yuanwai can consider renting the nest to me?" ”

Wang Yuanwai: "."

This atmosphere is not right! Isn't it his own career to fool young people? How can you talk about it, become a young man to fool yourself?
