"Juniors give you a drink." Dongfang Bai got up to toast, gave up a glass, and raised another glass, looking like he wanted to integrate into the county business district, and said: "This cup is dedicated to the owner of the Chen Pavilion." ”

"I have always admired the prestige of the old hall master Chen, and I want to worship the Anmin Martial Arts Pavilion, but unfortunately, the roots are ordinary, the family has no food resources, and I have never had the opportunity."

"Huh."

Pavilion Master Chen sat on the main seat, raised his glass casually, and drank half a sip.

If you want to open facial features in a county, you must have a relationship with the official face, and your fists must be hard enough.

There are generally innate masters in the county, that is, no one will come forward to stop them.

As far as the county government is concerned, one more innate master under the rule is also one more strength.

However, in a county town, only the martial arts hall with the thickest foundation and the strongest strength is qualified to make a name for itself!

Back then, Chen Tieshan was fighting tigers and eliminating harms, and became famous in the county, and won the signboard of the Anmin Martial Arts Museum, while the Jianghe Martial Arts Hall at the other end was slightly inferior, and even the owner of the museum, Jiang Changyuan, sat down.

All the teenagers in the county grew up listening to the heroic stories of the Chen Pavilion Master, and the old Pavilion Master was naturally qualified to pose for the music, but he still smiled at the end: "If the shopkeeper Li still has the heart to practice martial arts, you can come to the Anmin Martial Arts Hall." ”

"I'll give you some pointers."

Dongfang Bai hurriedly showed surprise: "Thank you, Old Pavilion Master Chen!" ”

"By the way, Shopkeeper Zhang, why didn't Shopkeeper Yao from Hechun Hall come?" Pavilion Master Chen sat in the main seat, first opened the chatterbox, Shopkeeper Zhang showed a look of embarrassment, and said in a slurred manner: "Old Pavilion Master Chen, Shopkeeper Yao is afraid that there is a gap with Shopkeeper Li." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Pavilion Master Chen frowned, turned his head to look at Dongfang Bai: "Shopkeeper Li, when you first arrived in the county, how could you have a grudge with your peers, do you want the old man to help you make ......peace?"

"No, you don't."

Dongfang Bai shook his head.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at his expression and said with a wry smile: "Shopkeeper Li was invited by Wu County Lieutenant to replace Shopkeeper Yao, and in the future, Shopkeeper Yao's pharmacy is afraid that it will be ......."

"Shopkeeper Li, Shopkeeper Yao's alchemy is a must in Tonghai County, I'm afraid it can't be easily replaced." Pavilion Master Chen said, but he was tempting intentionally or unintentionally.

Dongfang Bai said with a smile: "That's natural, there is no shopkeeper Yao in Tonghai County, and the Dan price is afraid that it will be three points more expensive, please rest assured, Shopkeeper Yao will not leave Tonghai County." ”

"Lieutenant Wu has already told him."

The master of the Chen Pavilion suddenly realized, raised his glass and said: "The old man is presumptuous, he shouldn't talk about the medicine business, I think that the county lieutenant Wu has already made proper arrangements." ”

"The elixirs in our martial arts hall can all be supplied by the shopkeeper Yao, and if you close yourself, you will be chaotic, and you will look forward to Haihan."

Dongfang Bai waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, if the owner of the Chen Pavilion needs medicinal materials in the future, he can come to Dafeng Commercial Bank." ”

"Why not call it a drugstore?"

Chen Pavilion focused on the snake stick, looked at the wine glass and asked: "There are 17 pharmacies in Tonghai County, none of them are called commercial houses, and Hechun Hall is also named after a pharmacy shop." ”

"Shopkeeper Li is called Dafeng Commercial Bank, it doesn't look like a simple medicine store..."

"yes."

Shopkeeper Cai echoed: "If Dafeng Commercial Bank has any other business, you can say it, and everyone here will not give face to Wu County." ”

"That's right."

"We can all help Boss Li." Shopkeeper Zhang, Blacksmith He, Jiang Changchang and others said one after another.

As soon as the name of Dafeng Commercial Bank came out, it had actually caused waves in the maritime business community.

Because the firm is much more than just a medicinal herb business......

The shopkeepers here said that they could help, but in fact, once they knew that Dafeng was going to be involved in other businesses, they would definitely attack it en masse.

On the surface, the major commercial houses are afraid of the power of the county lieutenant, but in fact, there are many ways to make stumbling blocks secretly.

There are five congenital masters in the entire Tonghai County Yaming, and there are already five of them among the shopkeepers, and there are more than five congenitals in the Tonghai business community.

The power of the people must be greater than that of the government.

It is nothing more than that the government system is strict and hierarchical, and it can concentrate its forces to do big things, while the civil forces are relatively chaotic and often scattered......

What's more, the iron-clad yamen, the flowing water officials, and the county lieutenants often serve for five years, and everyone present is entrenched in the same sea for more than five years.

According to the rules of the shopping mall, they need to curry favor with the county officials and cling to the relationship, according to the rules of officialdom, the new officials should also contact the gentry, jointly govern the county and county, and observe the people's feelings.

"If a county businessman really wants to unite, it is enough to replace a county lieutenant, on the contrary, a county lieutenant really wants to kill people and establish authority, no matter how big a businessman is, he is a pig."

"However, this pig was obviously taken by Yao Yutian, and the rest of the people are somewhat arrogant, the capital of negotiation." Dongfang Bai pretended to be stupid at the wine table, but he was silently analyzing in his heart: "There are actually two of these forces in a county, the first is the merchants and the gentry composed of martial arts, and the second is the squire hidden in the villages. ”

"It's just that the gentry are more prominent and look more eye-catching, and the squires live in the middle of the village and generally don't go into the city, but they must not be ignored."

"For example, the sect and the officials are all regarded as the power of the imperial court, and the squire and the gentry are the only civil power, and the civil power of Taizheng is these two! However, in terms of personal strength, the gentry should be stronger. ”

"It is difficult for all the villages in the county to find five innate masters."

"In terms of mobilization ability, the squire is definitely stronger, and there are nearly 100,000 people in the countryside in one county." Dongfang Bai knew that if he wanted to completely control a county, he must at least get the support of one of the two forces, the gentry and the squire.

In this way, there is the ability to balance.

He came to contact a group of merchants, naturally wanting to explore the depth of water in Tonghai County and prepare for plundering interests in the future.

Playing the signboard of a commercial bank is for the next logical expansion of business, can't you open a commercial bank and specialize in the medicinal herb business, right? What does it mean to start a business house like that?

This firm is the Hidden Altar!

Be big!

He didn't immediately reveal it to the merchants, but smiled and said, "Don't hide it, the county lieutenant only entrusted me with the business of purchasing medicinal materials, and in the future, I will cooperate with Hechun Tang to refine some pills for sale." ”

"Other business..."

Chen Tieshan and Cai Wuwei both squinted.

"The county lieutenant will do some business, transport the county's specialties to the county for sale, and then take the county's products to the county for sale." Dongfang Bai said half-truthfully: "Many pills in the Medicine King Sect will also be sold in the county." ”

Chen Tieshan scoffed at the medicine king Zongdan, where can the small and medium-sized households in the county afford to use it, but he raised his glass to Dongfang Bai: "The county lieutenant loves the people like a son, and he is willing to match up and bring Shangzong Dan medicine to the county, which is really a blessing for the people of Tonghai County." ”

"This cup is for Lord Wu!"

"yes."

"Respect Lord Wu."

It's another place to enjoy the guests.

......

Cai Wuwei looked at Shopkeeper Zhang and helped the stumbling and dizzy young man into the carriage, his expression was calm, and he said coldly: "Old Pavilion Master Chen, do you think what Shopkeeper Li said is true or false?" ”

"It's hard to tell the real from the fake."

Chen Tieshan made a straight face and said bluntly: "Even if what he said is true, County Lieutenant Wu may not necessarily tell him the truth, and he has to wait and see." ”

"It's not good to tear your face at the moment."

Cai Wuwei nodded, and suddenly smiled again: "But you can make some trouble for him." ”
