Zhan Jinfa said: "In this way, I naturally raise my hands in favor of it, but can the main hall agree?"

Yan Long said: "In fact, most of the rudders have a high degree of autonomy now, and some rudders even temporarily changed the helmsman before the battle, and only reported to Shanhaitang afterwards, but as long as the hall gave an order, I have never seen any rudder dare to say that they disobeyed the order." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the current Changkong Gang, that is, unlike the ordinary Jianghu Gang, which can collect wealth and enrich themselves, and is not like the army directly under the imperial court, which can accept money and food from the government. However, it is such a million people, not only to bear the responsibility of fighting against the Houjin, but also to raise their own salaries and conscriptions, if they do not let go of the authority of the rudder at the bottom, they just blindly restrain and control, and help the people not get food and clothing, which will cause people's hearts to be scattered. Elder Zhan, do you think so?"

Zhan Jinfa sighed, "Yes!"

Yan Long continued: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. It can be seen that money and food come first, so let's start with this part first. It's not that hard to convince the main hall. It's just that I'm going to be a little wronged by the two of you for a while!"

He Ping glared and said, "Deputy Hall Master Yan, you won't throw the two of us into the water prison, will you?"

Yan Long smiled: "That's not necessary. It's just that the two of you will be temporarily suspended and retained, waiting for the departure of the main hall. ”

"It's just a suspension and retention, hehe, I'm like this a lot, I'm used to it. He Ping said with a smile.

Yan Long said: "At that time, I will repair a book, and the cloth will be brought to the hall master Ding Chengfeng by Buyi Hou Huan Chu, if the hall master Ding agrees, then the hall master Ding will submit this letter to the head hall Nangong Jue Gang Master, the letter will explain the root cause of the conflict between the deacon hall and the God of War Hall, and state the disadvantages of the old policy and the benefits of the new policy." ”

Yan Long said to Zhang Ai again: "Elder Zhang, do you think it's okay for me to deal with it like this? Let Elder He and Elder Zhan be suspended and retained, and wait for the punishment of the main hall, this can be regarded as a small punishment and a big punishment!"

Zhang Yi has bowed his hand and said respectfully: "This is very appropriate, more appropriate than I thought at the beginning!"

At this time, Zhan Jinfa frowned and asked Yan Longdao: "Deputy Hall Master Yan, but we still owe 600,000 taels of silver for eleven rudders.

Yan Long said with a smile: "Aren't you planning to sell the manor and land to raise money? Then continue to do this! It's just that I will help you find the buyer, and the price you found before is too low to make up the 600,000 taels of silver." ”

He Ping's eyes widened and said, "If it is sold, what will happen to those widows' families who have nowhere to settle?"

Yan Long smiled: "The buyer I am looking for, she will find a way to settle it!"

The buyer Zhan Jinfa looked for before was only willing to bid 350,000 taels of silver at most, and refused to pay any more, Zhan Jinfa was still worried about the other differences, and now listening to Yan Long's tone, it seemed that someone was willing to bid 600,000 taels to buy the manor and a large piece of mountainous land, and couldn't help but ask overjoyed: "Which buyer is it?"

Yan Long said: "Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce!"

......

A few days later, An Xiyan of the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce bought the manor and wasteland in the western suburbs of Yongping Mansion from Shanhaitang for 600,000 taels of silver. This price is far higher than the market price, which can't help but make Zhan Jinfa puzzled, Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce has always been known for its shrewdness, how could it be such a wronged leader?

However, as long as someone can afford the price and solve the urgent need, he doesn't want to get to the bottom of it.

On the day after the transaction, Yan Long came to the Yuegu Lotus Pond at the request of An Xiyan.

An Xiyan was waiting for Yan Long in the tea house.

As soon as Yan Long entered the tea house, he thought in his heart that when he first came to Swallow Dock, the solitude with An Xiyan was also in the tea house, but later it all evolved into An Xiuyun's "cross-dressing" performance. Thinking of this, a warm current surged in his heart, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but smile.

An Xiyan looked at him with beautiful eyes and asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?"

Yan Long said: "It's nothing, just remembering some of the past." You called me over, is there anything wrong?"

An Xiyan sighed lightly and said faintly: "If it's okay, won't you come?"

Yan Long touched his nose and said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just that I worked hard for you today, help me buy that piece of land, and I want you to rest more." ”

An Xiyan sighed and said: "The dignified Yan Hall Master, it is really interesting to buy a piece of land at the entrance of his own hall, and he actually has to go around such a big circle." ”

"Hehe, because I don't want Shanhaitang to know that I'm so rich. Yan Long said with a smile.

"Anyway, you bought such a large piece of land, what are you going to do?" An Xiyan asked Yan Long while cooking tea.

"I've looked at the terrain over there, and I want to make it a base where I can house my own private forces. Of course, this has to be done in secret, which is why I bother you to come forward for me. Yan Long said.

An Xiyan brought him a cup of tea, and said with a slight complaint in her tone: "600,000 taels of silver, you can actually buy three pieces of such a place, you are really generous enough." ”

"This is a benefit for both parties, which not only allows Shanhaitang to get through the difficulties, but also gives me a place to live. Yan Long said with a smile.

An Xiyan took a sip of the tea gently, and then her brows furrowed, and Qiong's nose made a "um" sound, as if she was very dissatisfied with the tea. She muttered in a low voice, "This tea is too astringent, it must have been chosen incorrectly when picking." ”

Yan Long drank the tea as if he were drinking wine. He smacked his lips and said, "It's not bad." ”

An Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "A cow drink like you, everything is a taste." After that, she seemed to mumble to herself: "You have such a large area now, who will help you take care of it?"

Yan Long was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I haven't thought about this question yet!"

An Xiyan wrinkled her nose playfully and said with a smile: "You don't have to think about it, I'll take care of it for you!"

"You?" Yan Long asked in a long tone.

"What?!Can't I?" Ahn Hee-yeon pouted.

"An Xiyan, the president of the dignified Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce, came to help me take care of a small manor, I heard me right!" Yan Long said.

"You're wrong! The manor is mine now! It has nothing to do with you. An Xiyan glanced at Yan Long and said angrily.

"Uh," Yan Long touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "It seems that this is indeed the case now, but do you really have time to come to Yongping Mansion?"

An Xiyan said with a smile: "The scale of the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, and I also want to expand outward, after all, the pattern of Changli County is a little smaller." The shipping business of the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce has always been managed by Uncle An, so I don't have to worry about it, so if I come to Yongping Mansion, it will be sooner or later. ”

An Xiyan has always been known as "Female Fan Li" in the business world, she is very accurate about doing business and trading, she is very decisive when making decisions, she is fully prepared, and has a high degree of execution, so Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce has an outstanding reputation and has always been a very profitable organization.

It would have been ideal for her to run the estate. As for the armed forces stationed in the manor, who will lead them? Dian Wei was the most suitable candidate, but he was also a member of the Changkong Gang now, so he couldn't live in the manor of the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce for a long time without a name.

An Xiyan looked at Yan Long's stunned appearance and said with a smile: "Are you wondering, who will lead your private army?"

Yan Long smiled bitterly: "You are really a roundworm in my stomach. I'm really worried about that. ”

An Xiyan laughed and said, "You are stupid, aunt is such an excellent candidate, haven't you thought about it?"

That's right, An Xiuyun! a master at the level of a master craftsman. If she leads, it is naturally the best.

An Xiyan smiled and said: "And our swallow dock can also send some people over, all of them are trained by my aunt herself, although they are not as good as your tiger camp, but they are not bad, what do you think?"

Yan Long looked at her beautiful smile like a flower, and couldn't help but look a little stunned.
