"But there is only one imperial merchant. ”

Gu Song showed his words, looking careless, which made people moved, especially Xu Yingzhong and Chen Daoting, who were even more stunned.

"General Wu, is what he said true?" asked Xu Yingzhong.

"But there is a thing. Wu Zizhen nodded: "The quota is as General Gu said, I also knew everything to you before, but you have to make a decision early, and you will report tomorrow at the latest, and Mo Yan said that there was no notice at that time." ”

"How could it be. Chen Daoting smiled, glanced at Xu Yingzhong, and said: "Brother Xu, since this matter is very urgent, Brother Ning has no intention of doing it here, but it can't be delayed, you and I might as well make a decision at this table, so as not to stop this dispute." ”

"How to make a decision?" Xu Yingzhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said.

"Naturally, the simpler the better, and when this kind of thing is complicated, it will not be interesting. Chen Daoting replied: "You might as well have a high bidder to know, and if you do this, you won't lose your dignity." ”

"Besides, the people at this table are witnesses, and it is best to do so. ”

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase. Xu Ying nodded again, a smile on his face.

"It couldn't be better for you two to mean this, and we are here to be witnesses. Wu and Liu nodded: "Start with five thousand silver, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”

"Eight thousand taels. ”

Xu Ying glanced at Chen Daoting again, and he didn't want to let his momentum go, so he added three thousand taels at once.

"With such a low price, you want to get the position of the imperial businessman, but you can't help but take this matter too seriously?" Chen Daoting questioned and reported a number, which was really surprising: "Twenty thousand taels." ”

"Twenty thousand taels. Xu Yingzhong couldn't help but tremble at the corners of his mouth, what kind of concept is this, that is the amount of money that has been in business for almost a year.

"Twenty-three thousand taels. "Xu Yingzhong is still three thousand taels up. Unhurried, but not afraid.

"Thirty-five thousand taels. ”

Chen Daoting was beaten hard and mercilessly.

"Well, since you have so much cash, you will be responsible for this position. Xu Yingzhong shook his head: "I am small in the lower industry, and I can't afford to fight." ”

Chen Daoting also gave up for the sake of this imperial businessman. Thirty-five thousand taels, that is already close to the Chen family's operation.

And in this way, his relationship with Xu Yingzhong is even worse, but the relationship between the emperor and the merchant is particularly important.

Even if the funds are not enough, why worry about no one joining in when the time comes, this is like a snowball, which is bound to get bigger and bigger.

Chen Daoting thought like this, but he became more and more proud. Thinking about it, there is no problem with what you just did.

At this moment, he is too lazy to look at other people's eyes, and this feeling of being on top is extremely comfortable.

"Chen Daoting, you wait for me. Xu Yingzhong's face sank, and he already had a lot of plans in his heart: "When you are cornered, I see how arrogant you are." ”

"Brother Chen is really bold and generous, and he can take out 35,000 taels at once. Liu Tao said.

Wu Zizhen looked at Xu Yingzhong and said, "Although Brother Xu didn't compete. It is also a generous and eye-opening shot. ”

"Congratulations to Brother Chen for winning the Imperial Merchants. Ning Zong smiled. Road.

But he didn't say more to Xu Yingzhong, but raised his glass to Xu Yingzhong: "Brother Chen has taken the position of this imperial businessman, so naturally we have to add more to it, and make friends with the powerful Brother Xu while walking, which is a good thing for us, and the business can be expanded." ”

Chen Daoting nodded. But it also suddenly became clear that the so-called gains must be gained, and this truth is still clear.

And so it was. Lin Ziming couldn't help but smile inwardly and said: "In my opinion, among the three great gentry of Tianning Mansion, Ning Zong is still aware and acts in a very measured manner. ”

Honka inadvertently made this happen. It was also done beautifully, without showing traces, but it impressed Wu and Liu, and they really had some means.

But this is secondary, the most important thing is that the money is earned, of course, 35,000 taels cannot be in their hands, and the maximum they can get is only 10,000 taels.

The banquet dispersed, and Wu and Liu left Gu Song to come, saying that they had something to talk about, but the rest dispersed.

"Brother Gu, don't really say it, where did you come up with this method, but there is only one word to describe it. Wu Zizhen was full of praise.

Honka didn't say much, but he raised his prestige a lot between this joke, to be precise, doing things on both sides, but not touching cause and effect.

"I really don't know what the Lord has in his head, which always surprises people, but never fails. ”

Outside the General's Mansion, Xu Yingzhong and Chen Daoting had already left and were busy with their own work; Ning Zong warmly invited Lin Ziming to Ningfu as a guest.

He has never looked at the wrong person, and when he saw Lin Ziming at a glance, he felt that the other party had a kind of dragon and phoenix temperament among people, which ordinary people could not have, and he couldn't learn it.

The most important thing is that Ning Zong's baby daughter Ning Ke is an anomaly, he saw that Lin Ziming and Ning Ke have a similarity, so he warmly invited, otherwise it would be in vain, you must know that his daughter does not like to interact with others, although the people who propose relatives are about to break the threshold of Ning Mansion, they can't shake Ning Ke's determination not to marry.

"If it weren't for Ke'er's mother dying early, I'm afraid she wouldn't have developed such a habit. Ning Zong sighed, but was waiting for Lin Ziming's answer.

At this time, Lin Ziming saw that Ning Zong's attitude was so good, and there was nothing to do at noon, so he responded.

After a while, I saw a horse-drawn carriage coming slowly.

"Sir. ”

The servant respectfully greeted him.

"Brother Lin, get in the car. ”

Lin Ziming nodded, not pretentious, and stepped into the carriage, followed by Ning Zong.

The carriage was luxuriously furnished to accommodate a large number of people, with a small table in the middle.

Some snacks and fruits were placed on the table, and Lin Ziming picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth.

"It's a comfortable day. Lin Ziming looked at Ning Zong and couldn't help but say, "Looking at Master Ning's appearance, it seems that why are you worried about things?"

"Little Brother Lin is really thoughtful and meticulous. Ning Zong nodded and said, "Don't hide it from my little brother, I invited you to Ning Mansion this time, but it was for my daughter Ning Ke." ”

"Oh, why did Master Ning say this, I don't have a special place, and I can't help this kind of thing if I think about it. Lin Ziming said: "But since this is the case, you might as well be more specific." ”

"It's fine. Ning Zong nodded: "I observed the little brother at the banquet before, and found that the little brother has some similarities with my daughter, but these characteristics can't be spoken. ”

"Oh, that's the case. Lin Ziming nodded. (To be continued.) )
