The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 32

After leaving the tavern, the four of them returned to the store, and by this time Wang Fugui had also returned.Lin Yifan took the opportunity to introduce Guo Huaili to everyone. Seeing that Lin Yifan respected him very much, Wang Fugui and others did not dare to neglect him.Words must be called Mr.After exchanging pleasantries, they sent someone to take Guo Huaili to take a bath and change clothes, and set up a room.

When he came to Lin Yifan's room, Wang Fugui smiled and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for getting a talent. I think that Mr. Guo, with his words and deeds, is refined and elegant. You must be a well-educated person, right?"

"How should I put it, he is indeed a well-learned person, but he is still just a boy." Lin Yifan thought for a moment, then shrugged.

"Eh!" Wang Fugui's eyes twitched, not knowing what to say.

"By the way, you came to me because you have something to report, right?"

"Yes." Wang Fugui quickly changed the subject, and said, "Today I visited the shopkeepers of the six largest commercial firms in the county, and things have begun to emerge."

"Oh, tell me." Lin Yifan straightened his back and listened attentively.

"The rare treasures we transported this time will all be purchased by these six families. These six families have had contacts with our Wang family, and their subordinates have seen them before. Their strength is also famous in the empire. Among them, Zhang Zhuli The three are among the top ten business families in the empire. The price has been negotiated, please take a look." Wang Fugui took out a stack of paper and handed it to Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan took a quick look, and said pleasantly, "This time our treasures were sold for a total of more than 2 taels of silver? Okay, Lao Wang, you did a good job."

Wang Fugui was overjoyed, and hurriedly said modestly: "My lord is too famous, this subordinate is just doing his duty."

"Haha, Lao Wang doesn't need to look outside, you get [-]% of the income this time. You deserve it."

"Ah, here, thank you sir, I will do my best to seek the best interests for you." Wang Fugui was shocked, and quickly knelt on the ground, thanking him happily.

"Get up." Lin Yifan pulled Wang Fugui up, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Old Wang, I will give you [-]% of the shares in this caravan, and, through this performance, I have decided to sell this caravan The caravan will be managed by you. I believe that with your business ability, you will definitely bring greater benefits to Hengshan, so work hard."

"My lord, thank you for your trust. This subordinate will never let you down." Wang Fugui said with tears of gratitude, choked up.

"That's good, you go on."

Wang Fugui hurriedly finished, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "According to your lord's instructions, we have already contacted the relevant commercial banks for the grain, cloth, salt, and other materials that need to be purchased this time. In fact, most of these commercial firms are These six companies have monopolized most of the industries in the county. After they learned that we were going to purchase a large amount of materials, they took the initiative to contact their subordinates, hoping that the purchase would be shared among the six of them. And they I am very interested in our Hengshan County, and I hope that the Lord will allow them to open a trading point in the county. However, my subordinates dare not agree. They just say that they need to go back and ask the Lord before they can reply. Regarding their request, the subordinates dare not use the acquisition channel Put it all on them, and after promising that they would be responsible for most of the supplies, they contacted some other commercial firms for transactions. According to the current money we have, including the 5000 taels at Polangguan, the total is more than 8000 taels. If deducted There is probably about 2 taels left for the purchase of materials this time. The materials that need to be purchased this time will start to be purchased from tomorrow, and it is expected that the purchase will be completed in two days, and we will be able to go back by then."

"Well, presumably these materials will also allow the people of Hengshan to have a good life for a few months. Since you have done this properly, then do it according to your wishes. As for the establishment of a trade point in our Hengshan , I think it’s just that they want to trade with the grasslands through our Hengshan County. However, the imperial court has explicitly banned the trade with the grasslands. Unexpectedly, these businessmen are really not afraid of death, and they try their best to take advantage of the loopholes in the law. Let’s put it aside for now and discuss it when we get back.”

"Yes, my lord." Wang Fugui blushed slightly. He was also a businessman himself, so he didn't know the virtue of a businessman. As long as there was profit, he would sell it to the executioner to chop off his own head.But these are not important anymore. Now that he is an official, he holds the power of a county household house, how can he be comparable to those businessmen.After making up his mind, he immediately thought of one thing, and said quickly, "Yes, my lord. I want to establish a business in the county to facilitate our business exchanges in the county."

"As I said before, you decide these things yourself, and I won't interfere." Lin Yifan emphasized, "However, I want to make one point clear. This firm is not only used for business, I hope it can also be used as an information point, able to Send us the news quickly and accurately."

When Wang Fugui heard the words, he quickly agreed.

In the evening, Lin Yifan held an apprentice banquet for Guo Huaili, and the apprentices were those eleven little beggars.Looking at the slightly nervous children next to him, Guo Huaili's old face burst into a smile.

Lin Yifan respected Guo Huaili, blushed slightly, and said, "Mr. Guo, our caravan will leave in three days. I wonder if you have any unfinished business here. Is there anything we can do to help?"

Guo Huaili drank the wine in his glass beautifully, his face was flushed, he shook his head and said: "I have been poor all my life, in this county, my family is surrounded by walls, I am alone, I have no relatives and friends, and it is even more difficult to find a confidant. There is nothing unfinished. Huh? If there is something really going on, it will be the annual literary meeting held in Wenlou tomorrow night." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but darken his face and sighed.

"Wenhui, what Wenhui?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.

"It's the poetry gathering held by the County Government Academy of Literature, which is specially held for all the young talents in the county to showcase their talents. At that time, as long as the young talents in Weiyuan County can rush over, they will participate. At that time, there will be a gathering of talents, and it will be the literary world. A grand move." Speaking of this, Guo Huaili's face was flushed, as if he would be able to shine as soon as he went.

"Oh, that's interesting. Mister must attend every year, right?"

Guo Huaili was very ashamed and said awkwardly: "To tell you the truth, I only participated once when I first came to the county, but later I was more embarrassed. Naturally, I had no face to participate."

Lin Yifan was very interested in this literary society, not because he wanted to go there to show off his literary talents. In fact, although as a modern person, he can acquire a wealth of ancient Chinese poetry, the sad thing is that he was not interested in these things at all when he went to school. Naturally, I couldn't remember a few songs.And to participate in the literary fair, I just want to feel the cultural atmosphere of the Tianwu Empire, and the most important thing is to see if I can be tied from it, um, no, it is to attract some educated scholars to Hengshan County. "Mr. Guo, since you haven't been there for so many years, why don't we go to participate this time. Once you come, your wish will be fulfilled. I also really want to see this literary meeting when I come here."

"However, those who go to participate must have at least the status of a child. You..." Guo Huaili made a mistake.

"Hehe, it just so happens that I also have the identity of a child." Lin Yifan smiled slightly, joking that my lord was born as a Jinshi, although it was a fake.The identity of a mere child can be obtained with a seal, anyway, there is no one to take up the post of teaching in the county.As for scholars, it is not something that can be done by the county-level government office, at least the literary academy of the county government can do it.

"Ah, it turns out that Dong Weng is also a child, it's really rude." Guo Huaili was surprised, and then said happily.No wonder he would look at himself differently, it really is true that I am not alone.

"It's not that my younger brother concealed it intentionally, it's just because of some unavoidable reasons. I hope you don't take offense." Lin Yifan was afraid that Mr. Guo would feel uncomfortable, so he quickly explained.With this explanation, presumably when he knew that he was the county magistrate, he should be relieved, right?

"It's okay, Dong Weng is serious." How could Guo Huaili blame him, after understanding this day, he has judged that this caravan is not simple, and this Dong Weng is even more so.Which caravan would have such capable guards, which businessman would have the attitude of a superior?It seems likely that the children of the aristocratic family are traveling, or performing some tasks, right?
