Two days later.

The disciple in the sect sent a photo post.

"Li Fang, a villager in Woniu, the son of Li Dan at the head of the village, has a good identity."

Woniu Village has been infiltrated by the Holy Sect, and seven disciples have been recruited for medicine collection alone, and Li Dan, the head of the village, is even more sick in bed, and his time is short, which is very suitable for identity.

"Go out and take a walk."

Dongfang Bai took the body into his arms, took Qiu Yue out of the secret room, bypassed the street, and wandered in the alley.

Evening.

He walked into the county government in a grand manner, and under the leadership of the officer, he entered the county lieutenant's office, and cautiously arched his hand: "Lord the county lieutenant." ”

"Hmm."

Ren Qiongfei was dressed in an official robe, sat on a chair, and snorted.

Three days later.

Dongfang Bai acted quickly, rented a shop in Hefang Street, chartered two compounds, erected a signboard, and established the "Dafeng Commercial Bank".

Everyone in the county knows it.

"What is the origin of this Dafeng Commercial Bank? As soon as he opened, he dared to get involved in the medicinal herb business, and the shopkeeper Yao didn't give him a lesson. ”

Inside the restaurant.

A consignee in a cloth coat, holding a clay cup, drank coarse tea and said: "The 17 pharmacies in the county have always regarded the medicinal material business as a forbidden place, and no one else is allowed to touch half of it. ”

"Lao Huang."

"Send a batch of goods to the county, and the news will be outdated, right?" A big-bellied merchant wearing gold and silver sat at the adjacent table, held up a pot of tea and walked over and said, "This Dafeng Commercial Bank is the business of Wu County Lieutenant. ”

"County Lieutenant Wu?"

Lao Huang's face was full of surprise: "The county lieutenant is not surnamed ......"

"Shh

"Be careful."

The merchant raised his fingers, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "That was the old yellow calendar from a long time ago, Tonghai County has long since changed the sky, and the current county lieutenant is a disciple of the Medicine King Sect." ”

"When I came to Tonghai County, I wanted to collect medicine for the sect."

Lao Huang nodded thoughtfully.

The merchant sat down and said, "What's more, the price of medicinal materials in the county has been rising, so you must have received the news." ”

"That's right."

"I just want to go to the countryside to collect more medicine."

Lao Huang admitted.

"It's a pity, when we received the news, I was afraid that we didn't even have leftovers to eat." The merchant shook his head self-deprecatingly: "The big head is an official, and the small head is Yao's shopkeeper." ”

Lao Huang's face was bitter: "It's good to make some hard-earned money." ”

"Let's give them a hand honestly, since ancient times, only by hugging the thigh of an official can they rise to the top, how can they make money without a backer?" The merchant said with envy: "The shopkeeper of Dafeng Commercial Bank, who is less than twenty years old, has won the blue eyes of the county lieutenant because of collecting medicinal materials in the countryside, and has become a big family in the city. ”

"So young?"

Lao Huang's eyes widened.

"Teenagers are heroes."

At this time, a man wearing a white cloth robe, long hair tied up, and a black turban walked into the restaurant, and the merchant quickly shut up, smiled, and arched his hand and said, "Good shopkeeper Li." ”

"Shopkeeper Zhang." The grain merchant boss in front of Dongfang Bai Chao hugged his fist.

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately closed his mouth, stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, oops, how old am I, it's not too much to call you brother?" All the shop owners are waiting upstairs. ”

"Specially sent me downstairs to greet me."

"Welcome, welcome!"

Dongfang Bai smiled humbly and politely, nodded and said, "Then I'll call Brother Zhang." ”

"Of course."

"Of course!"

The shopkeeper Zhang was very bold, took his hand, and led the way in front of him diligently.

Downstairs, the guests saw that the two were talking happily, and they didn't dare to underestimate the young man in their hearts......

Dongfang Bai came to a side room on the second floor, and saw twelve people sitting at a large round table of dark wood, all dressed in brocade clothes, with ruddy faces, and they looked like they had a small family.

Among them, there are seven acquired martial artists, all of whom are of the highest quality, five innate martial artists, and a total of thirteen people including the shopkeeper next to them.

I saw that at the moment when the shopkeeper opened the door, twelve people looked sideways, and eleven of them stood up to greet them.

"Everyone, everyone."

"Look, who's here?" Shopkeeper Zhang was like a good deed, took his hand and introduced: "Boss Li! Boss Li of Dafeng Commercial Bank, the youngest wealthy businessman in Tonghai County. ”

Dongfang Bai showed a touch of restraint, and when he saw that everyone was slightly scrutinizing, he swept his eyes together, like a countryman who had just entered the city and had never seen the world.

He hesitated for a moment before giving his hand: "Bosses, Li Fang, the descendant, works in Dafeng Commercial Bank. ”

"What an afterlife?"

Shopkeeper Zhang interrupted him: "We are merchants, not scholars, and we are not seniority like those literati, whoever has the ability is the eldest brother." ”

"Boss Li is at least more capable than me!"

He didn't give a chance, pulled out the first and second empty chairs, and pulled Dongfang Bai in front of him: "Shopkeeper Li is here to sit." ”

"This, this, this."

Dongfang Bai pretended to be embarrassed, but he was still pressed on the seat, surrounded by the five congenital masters present, Zhang Shopkeeper smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and sat down by the door with a cigarette, and closed a door smoothly during the period......

"The shopkeepers have bothered to set up such a good banquet." Dongfang Bai held back a sentence, and everyone present couldn't help but laugh, but contempt inevitably appeared on their faces.

These people specially invited him to the restaurant to get together, just to find out.

It wasn't him who rushed.

It's the county lieutenant.

Shopkeeper Zhang added a glass of wine to himself, took the initiative to get up and said, "Everyone, toast to another young hero in Tonghai County." ”

"Okay."

"Celebrate for Boss Li."

The atmosphere brightens up.

Businessmen are very face-conscious, and will never deliberately hurt people's face, and they are all smiling on the surface.

After Dongfang Bai took a drink, someone next to him smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, how is the turbid wine in Zuifeng Building?" ”

"It's delicious."

"It's delicious." Dongfang Bai replied.

"This is the owner of the Drunken Wind Building, Cai Wuwei, Cai Shopkeeper." Shopkeeper Zhang took the opportunity to introduce everyone: "Shopkeeper Cai is a well-known chef, who was in charge of Guangtai Building in the county when he was young, and later returned to his homeland and opened Zuifeng Building. ”

"Drunken Wind Brewing is a well-known good wine in the county, and today's fifteen-year-old wine can only be drunk thanks to the blessing of Shopkeeper Li."

Shopkeeper Cai said with a smile: "That's natural, good wine is only brewed for heroes, how can it be your turn to drink Zhang Fatzi?" ”

"Hahaha."

Shopkeeper Zhang was not angry, and laughed and said, "Then I want to drink two more glasses." ”

"This is the owner of the old knife shop, He Guangxing, Boss He, everyone calls him He Blacksmith, this is the owner of the Chen Pavilion of An Min Martial Arts Hall, and this is the shopkeeper of the Harvest Fish Market, Boss Zhao......"

The shopkeeper Zhang introduced the past one by one, and all of them were big proprietors in the county who grasped various industries and people's livelihood.

These owners are closely related to the county officials, and even Danhuotang originally paid tribute to the county, but it has been tacitly cut to the new county lieutenant, which invisibly saves the protection fee.

The highest position in the area is the owner of the Chen Pavilion.
