The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

A few days ago, the magistrate of Qizhou finally came to his senses under the careful care of the Qin court judge. The first thing he did was to send someone to invite the shopkeeper of a trading firm with whom he had a good relationship, and briefly talked about Yan Yin. The two shopkeepers went back to make arrangements without hesitation.

After a long journey, we finally caught up with today’s meeting.

The two shopkeepers were very embarrassed. After saying hello to Shen Yu'an, they sat down at the bottom.

Only then did Shen Yu'an speak: "Everyone, I have called you here today mainly to talk about the purchase of salt."

I'm coming!

The shopkeepers had been waiting for this moment. They immediately sat up straight and looked at Shen Yu'an, as if a very hungry person had seen a plate of steaming, fragrant braised pork!

Shen Yu'an was frightened by the description he thought of. He trembled all over and shook his head: "Currently, the members of the business gang are two families in Changzhou, two families in Qizhou, and three families in Dingzhou."

These shopkeepers looked at each other, and then they all showed friendly but awkward smiles.

"It's less than half a month until the Ministry of Household Affairs distributes the salt, so my idea is that today and tomorrow, we have to negotiate all the details, sign the contract, and raise funds. The day after tomorrow, we will directly Depart from Changzhou to the capital."

Without waiting for these shopkeepers to ask questions, Shen Yu'an continued: "I heard that a salt farm was recently discovered in Huizhou. My idea is that Wen's Escort Agency will escort us to Huizhou and get salt from the Huizhou Salt Farm."

The discovery of a new salt farm in Huizhou was also brought back by Qi Chenglang, which was an excellent thing for Gu Yuzhi.

The exposure of the salt field made Gu Yuchen realize that the salt fields in the south were said to be in the hands of the royal family, but in fact many of them were under the control of the King of Chu.

Huizhou had never had a salt field before. Why did Huizhou discover a salt field after Qi Chengjun took office as the prefect of Huizhou?

It's simple, because the previous magistrate of Huizhou concealed the matter of this salt farm.

The imperial court had great control over salt, and the profits of private salt farms were rising sharply. Therefore, the salt farm in Huizhou was definitely not the only salt farm that was concealed.

Only then did Gu Yuchen finally understand why the King of Chu had the confidence to privately support a hundred thousand naval troops in the south of the Yangtze River.

After finding this, Gu Yuchen urgently sent someone to bring the news to Qi Chenglang, which meant that Gu Yuzhi should go to the Huizhou Salt Farm.

Only there, Gu Yuzhi's people would not be made things difficult by the people in the salt field.

So when Shen Yu'an said the word Huizhou, all the shopkeepers present looked blank, and one of them blurted out: "Isn't there no salt farm in Huizhou?"

Gu Yuchen was worried that the King of Chu did not publicize the fact that there was a salt farm in Huizhou, and because these shopkeepers were not qualified to buy salt before, they did not know about it at all.

As soon as the words fell, these shopkeepers knew what a stupid question they had just asked.

They are now grasshoppers on a rope, and Wen's boss is not mentally ill to make fun of them.

After understanding this, these shopkeepers looked at Shen Yu'an with more respect.Young Master Wen has channels to know such unknown things. Young Master Wen's background is deeper than they thought!

Especially the three old foxes in Dingzhou, who looked at each other and quickly understood that the possibility of success of Wen's Trading Company's leading business gang to seize the salt import qualification of Li Ji's Trading Company was very high.

Shen Yu'an did not answer the question, but went on to say: "Fellow shopkeepers, I have received reliable news that the chief shopkeeper of Liji Trading Co., Ltd. set out yesterday. My idea is very simple. If everyone is harmonious and can have business, You have enough time, two days is enough for you to get everything done.”

He knew that the purchase of salt was extremely important, so the shopkeepers of Qizhou and Dingzhou must have made complete preparations before coming to Changzhou, just in case.

After all, the Ministry of Household Affairs distributes salt quotations once a year. If they don't participate this year, Wen's Trading Company will definitely not take them to play next year!

As soon as Shen Yu'an finished speaking, shopkeeper Zhang of Dingzhou Clothing Company was the first to speak: "Master Wen, our Dingzhou trading firm's demands are very simple, and your firm's housekeeper also knows this."

The other two Dingzhou shopkeepers also nodded: "Before we came here, our prefect also reiterated to us that we in Dingzhou are willing to pay two-thirds of the money to buy salt. The three of us are doing so with the greatest sincerity. Come on, as long as Master Wen agrees to our request, we are willing to cooperate in anything."

In a barren place like Dingzhou, these despised merchants stand on the same line as the prefect of Dingzhou.

Their purpose is definitely not as noble as that of the prefect of Dingzhou. What they want most is to develop Dingzhou. Only in this way can their trading houses make more money.

But these three trading houses in Dingzhou, even with the whole family's efforts, are probably not as rich as other trading houses.

Shen Yu'an rarely remained silent, while several shopkeepers in Qizhou and Changzhou declined.

Are you kidding? There are only three state capitals in total. The amount of salt introduced by each state capital should be the same. Why should Dingzhou have to pay more?
If Dingzhou takes more, doesn't that mean they have to take less?
The profits involved are huge, and the nature of the businessman is fully demonstrated at this moment.

The three shopkeepers in Dingzhou also knew that their request was a bit excessive, so they had no choice but to smile and try to explain clearly what was going on.

However, one party was anxious to explain, and the other said that he did not want to hear it at all. The originally quiet and polite conference hall suddenly turned into a scene of large-scale quarrels.

Shen Yu'an sighed softly, secretly sighing that it was a good thing that the conference hall was specially reinforced and made soundproof. Otherwise, with the intensity of the quarrel, even Li Yanping, who was on the way tomorrow, would know about Wen's Trading Firm. Did these things.

The two sides were arguing because their mouths were dry. Shopkeeper Zhou was waiting in the private room and refilled several pots of tea for these shopkeepers.

It wasn't until both parties were a little tired that Shen Yu'an clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, listen to me. After discussing this matter in Dingzhou with the shopkeepers of our Wen family, we can agree to your request."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two shopkeepers in Qizhou and Changzhou reacted violently.

Shen Yu'an coughed slightly: "I have explained to you before that the purchase of Yanyin will be divided equally among the three state capitals. As for how the respective state capitals will be distributed after the equal division, I will not participate. But I have also emphasized that the Mobei state capitals will be divided equally. The price of salt must remain consistent.”

These things were indeed mentioned by Shen Yuan when he first came into contact with them, so when he mentioned them again, there was no doubt on the faces of these people.

They even said that they would definitely comply with Shen Yuan's request. (End of chapter)
