The three secrets of chasing girls are: one is shameless, two faces are not, and third, please refer to the first two. Yinzuo understands this truth, but he has never practiced it, I want to find someone to ask, there is really no one to discuss-Lin Xuanyi? Hey, look at the way he is being managed by Sister Qiao, you know that this master doesn't understand this at all; Qingsong, although this product is vulgar, in the final analysis, he is still a scholar in his heart, how can he know what men and women love; As for the others, even if Yinzuo is not ashamed to ask, he is embarrassed to open that mouth, so he has no choice but to think about it himself.

On May 16, the 36th year of Kangxi, the big ship of the prince Yinzuo sailed away from Yangzhou, and the local officials were greatly relieved, not for anything else, just because this prince has always been ruthless, soft and hard, and the number of officials who fell everywhere was enough to fill the official vacancies in a province. This year, the official is not clean under the buttocks, seeing that the master is gone, the big guy is celebrating in private, smiling, and there are a lot of people who set up a banquet to celebrate, no, the courtyard of the Yangzhou prefect is also placed, and the people invited are all local wealthy businessmen with status, but there are no official figures to accompany them.

The prefect has a treat, that can not be slack, no, the sun has just turned west, the guests have arrived, the big guys are all acquaintances, they naturally have to greet each other for a while, polite, talking and laughing, the prefect accompanied the two guests to arrive, one of the big guys know - the famous "Fuyuan Ji" Yangzhou branch shopkeeper Liu Chengshan, another young boy is very eye-catching, but look at Liu Chengshan's cautious look to know that he must be a person with a great background.

The prefect is the disciple of King Yijun, the big guys know about this, and the people who accompany him are naturally people related to the King of Yijun, and the big guys are secretly speculating in their hearts about which way this lord is coming from the fairy, and when he is confused, He Zhifu opened his mouth: "Everyone, this official will introduce you to a rising star in today's business world, this is the nephew Cheng Gongzi of Liu Mingchuan, the big shopkeeper of 'Fuyuan Ji', come to our Yangzhou Mansion to develop, you are all veterans of the business world, you should help one or two more." ”

"I've seen you all in the next Cheng Tianming." Yinzuo arched his hand to the crowd and said: "When I first came to your land, there was nothing to do, and I asked you for more advice." ”

"Where, where, Brother Cheng is young and polite, but if there is a need, just ask." Lynch, the chief salt merchant, was the first to politely agree.

"That is, that is, if there is something that needs me to wait, just say it."

"If Cheng Gongzi wants to adjust his head, he doesn't dare to say more, there is no difference between 100,000 and 80,000 taels of silver."

……

A group of businessmen are all old and cunning people, seeing that the master in front of him is not small, not to mention that the king of Yijun is standing behind him, even if the nephew of the big shopkeeper of the world's first business "Fuyuan Ji" is a golden signboard, naturally everyone patted their chests and packed tickets, and made a basket of various promises.

The number of seats at the wine table has been a fine tradition since ancient times, after a long period of politeness, the big guy finally sat down, He Lin is the master, naturally he sat on the main seat, and the position next to him is Lynch and Wang Hao, as for Yinzuo, he is a guest from afar, and he sat next to Wang Hao, and everyone else also humbly entered the table. After three rounds of drinking, seven or eight people at a table chatted casually, or chatting about business, or filming He Lin's sycophants, or chatting about news from all over the world.

Yinzuo doesn't talk much, he usually just listens with a smile, and occasionally drinks a few drinks with Wang Hao on the side, chats a few words, and is close. Wang Hao's name is like his person, he is really a bold person, the amount of wine is also large, and the person who comes does not refuse, although because of the presence of the prefect, he did not dare to let go of drinking, but after a few rounds, he also drank a lot, and the wine was high, and there were more words, pulling Yinzuo to ask about the east and west, and generally asked some business things in the capital, and he was very envious of the business of "Fuyuan Ji" between words.

Envy? Hey, that's of course, we have a unique business, we just play technical work, there is no competitor at all, and others are not blushing. Hey, if this master is interested, let's show you both hands, there is an excuse to visit your old house that day, isn't it? Yinzuo has never done business personally, but there is no shortage of business experience in his stomach, and he still has some opinions on state-monopolized businesses such as salt and iron.

Salt and iron are basically the same concept as the tobacco business in later generations, and they are one of the largest sources of national tax revenue, but the difference is that salt is a daily necessity, and after the salt monopoly has been monopolized for a long time, there will be a big problem there - due to the increase in salt taxes and other donations, as well as various drawbacks, the price of salt will inevitably continue to rise, and the burden on the common people will increase.

At present, there are such signs of salt administration, and there are no more than two ways to solve the problem: one is to crack down on illegal salt, but this law can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause, there are high profits, there are risk-takers, once the crackdown is weakened, illegal salt will inevitably rise, and the problem will not be solved at all. The second is to expand the salt merchants again, increase the supply, and reduce the price of salt, but in this way, there are more salt merchants, the competition is fierce, and the salt tax is difficult to guarantee, but it is also better than the situation of illegal salt flooding and the imperial court having no harvest.

According to Yinzuo's view, private salt must be cracked down, but it is imperative to expand the recruitment of salt merchants, if overseas trade is in full swing in the future, industry and commerce begin to sprout, and the salt and iron politics will have a complete collapse one day, of course, Yinzuo will not tell these words in full, but he analyzed the salt policy in the conversation, suggesting that the imperial court may expand the recruitment of salt merchants to stabilize the price of salt.

Salt merchants are rich masters, eating the relationship of the imperial court, each of them is very well-informed, and I have also heard the rumors of the expansion of salt merchants, it is said that the fourth elder brother of the household department is brewing this matter, but no one knows the details, at this time I heard Yinzuo talk about it, all of them stopped chatting, pricked up their ears, and waited for Yinzuoxiang to say, but Yinzuo smiled and stopped his mouth, so that the big guy was itching in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask openly in front of the prefect, and he was thinking about how to invite this master to his house as a guest, It's good to ask.

The big guys have something on their minds, and the wine is not very refreshing, and they drink sullenly for a while, and they disperse hastily, and the big guys each send an invitation to Yinzuo, hoping that Yinzuo can come to their house as a guest and get close to one or two, these guys are thinking about something in their hearts, Yinzuo is very clear, and he doesn't break it, and he accepts it one by one with a smile.

Yangzhou is the salt capital, He Lin as the prefect, although he doesn't care about the salt government, but the salt government also has a great relationship with his political achievements, and it is easy to send the group of salt merchants away, and hurriedly asked: "Master, is it true that the salt merchants mentioned before the head are expanding their recruitment?" ”

Of course it's true, the fourth child is starting to do practical things at this time, damn, it's the same road as us, and the person who gave the fourth child an idea behind it is not simple. Of course, Yinzuo wouldn't say this to He Lin, but he just glanced at He Lin and said, "If you should know, this king will naturally tell you, don't ask more if you shouldn't know." ”

These words were a little cold, so frightened that He Lin was sweating, and quickly nodded yes, and said with a smile: "Master, the sun is not early, do you want to go to the back hall to rest first?" ”

"No need, this king has been staying at the inn since then, don't leak the bottom of this king, remember, don't come to this king if you have nothing to do." Yinzuo didn't want to be recognized, so he explained a few words to He Lin, and led Qingsong to walk leisurely to the inn in front of him.

Hong guest inn, the largest inn in Yangzhou City, Yinzuo lived in this inn, chartered a small three into the yard, just entered the door, Chen Yingying, who had been waiting in the yard, hurriedly greeted him, while waiting, while saying: "Master, you can come back, many people in front of the head sent invitations, and the slaves and maids have put you in the house." ”

Oh? Invitation? Those salt merchants are very fast, not long after they left, the invitations were sent to the door, hey, pretty neat. Yinzuo smiled and picked up the stack of invitations on the table, flipped through them casually, found Wang Hao's invitations, and waited for tomorrow to come to the door to start his plan to pick up girls.

Wang Hao's mansion is easy to find, just on the edge of the Slender West Lake, the huge courtyard covers an area of nearly 100 acres, luxurious and magnificent, there are several sturdy men standing at the door, and the stone lions on both sides of the gate are also a little imposing. Yinzuo walked forward with a smile, Qingsong followed with a bitter face with a large bag of gifts, and when he arrived at the door, Yinzuo smiled and handed the invitation card in his hand to the porter who came forward, and rewarded the porter with a silver ingot of ten taels, and the porter thanked him one after another, and hurried to report the news.

There was nothing to do, Yinzuo shook the folding fan in his hand, stood at the door and waited for the owner to come to greet him, casually looked at the scenery, and was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and it happened that a snow-white little poodle ran out of the door, and a voice came from the door: "Xiaoxue, don't run around......" The voice sounds very familiar, isn't it Yinzuo's goal this time? Yes, hurry up and be courteous, Yinzuo's figure flashed, and he lifted the puppy up with a light copy of his hand, and he was proud, when a coquettish voice came from behind: "Let it go, you bastard!" ”
