Jiang Zongshang's meaning is actually to let him give some benefits in the past, Li Ruolian can still read it, and at the same time, he secretly marvels in his heart, the appetite of these corrupt officials is really big, give away 100,000 taels of silver, this Yangzhou prefect Tang, at least more than half, I didn't expect this to be still here, twisting and pinching.

"Master Tang, this is the villain's business certificate, please take a look.

Li Ruolian walked over with a smile, took out a silver ticket from Daming Qian Zhuang from his arms, and handed it to Master Tang in a covert manner.

"Well, let the official take a look at it first.

Master Tang finally showed a faint smile, took the silver ticket and opened it to see that it was actually a silver ticket with a denomination of 10,000 taels, and suddenly the smile on his face became more obvious, so he immediately put away the silver ticket and said, "Yes, it is indeed a businessman." "

Please take a seat. As

he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the position, his eyes fixed on Zhu Cihong and Zhang Huaibin, and asked, "Who are these two?" "

If it's not the heir of your Li family, please retreat and wait, this is the rule." Master

Tang also talked a lot, after receiving so much money, he was satisfied, and naturally he had to make the other party satisfied, otherwise how could he collect money in the future, in fact, he didn't have much suspicion about this businessman surnamed Li, and he just wanted to see if the other party was on the road.

After all, no one in the imperial history can pay up to 100,000 taels to buy an invitation, and the high-ranking officials in the capital are all buckled, even if they have this money, they are not willing to use it to buy such an invitation, and they will not be so generous, so there is no doubt that this person is a businessman, and only businessmen will be willing to invest for more benefits.

"Back to adults, these two are the younger brothers of the villain, and then our Li family's business moved to Jiangnan, the villain can't manage it alone, all my two younger brothers are heirs, so naturally I have to bring them out to know some high-level people here, expand their contacts at the same time, and learn how to do business Xi.

Li Ruolian hurriedly arched his hand.

"Well, young people should learn more Xi young people here are the heirs of each family.

Master Tang didn't say anything more, smiled and motioned for the three of them to sit down, then poured himself a glass of wine and raised his glass towards everyone.

"Lord Tang, please. "

Lord Zhao, please.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please. The

crowd stood up, raised their glasses, and drank them all.

The next thing is to eat, drink and brag and chat, Zhu Cihong looked at the soup man, thinking that this person is greedy enough, very careful, and very good at making money, you go to buy private salt, just pay the money.

The prefect of Yangzhou really regards Yangzhou as his own industry to make money.

"The leader of the Bamboo Gang is also there.

Li Ruolian looked at a few people close to the stage, the white and clean person sitting in the middle seemed to be the leader of the Bamboo Gang, and there were four masters around him, ten days ago, the leader of the Bamboo Gang was wearing a hat, but now he is not wearing it, and he looks like a little white face.

Zhu Cihong looked over when he heard this, it was indeed a member of the Bamboo Gang, it seemed that the business of the Bamboo Gang was not only to help the Yangzhou government distribute grain, but also to do private salt business.

Just as the three of them looked over, the Bamboo Gang leader and the fourth of course also looked over.

"Helper, that group of people can actually spend 100,000 taels of silver to get through the connections in Yangzhou, it's not simple, you can get in touch with it more in the future. The

fourth master said in a low voice, he wanted to save the life of the gang leader, so he naturally wanted to have more contact with this group of people and make friends, and he was also shocked by the determination of these people.

"Let's see. The

leader of the Bamboo Gang glanced at Zhu Cihong and the three of them lightly, and his face did not fluctuate, he just drank by himself, and did not talk to others, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Very young, this Bamboo Gang leader, much smaller than the four masters, seems to be a talented player.

Zhu Cihong looked at the appearance of the leader of the Bamboo Gang, he was eighteen years old, and he could stand out among more than a hundred orphans, it must be a martial arts talent, one in a hundred, otherwise he would not be the leader.

"It's okay this year.

At this moment, Lord Zhao next to Lord Tang spoke: "The salt in the last few months of this year is enough for the winter in various places, and the New Year is over."

"It's all good, our five general merchants have a total of more than 10 million yuan of salt, and all of them are sold out, so we have to call a few adults." Jiang

Zongshang is obviously the most respected person among the five general merchants, and he is also the one who stands up to speak to the government, and his business is also the boundary between Yangzhou and Jiangnan, and he is the most prosperous of the five general merchants.

"All the profits are 300 million taels of silver, in addition to the costs, transportation costs, manpower, distributors up and down, and the commissions of several adults, the profits of our five companies have also earned a little. Jiang

Zongshang, as he spoke, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, this silver ticket is not the silver ticket of Daming Zhuang, but the silver ticket of their own bank, and in addition to the commission of several adults who are doing it, they will also send an additional sum of money to the past, up to the Yangzhou prefect, Yangzhou salt envoy, and down to the county magistrate.

"Then let's sell 20 million salt, and the official will order the salt farmers to increase production. The

Yangzhou salt transport envoy took a stack of silver tickets handed over by Lord Tang, opened it, smiled with satisfaction, and felt that increasing the next salt production was not only selling well in the war years, but also those thieves were in urgent need of salt, grain and iron.

When Zhu Cihong heard the figure of 300 million, his heart jumped violently, there are so many sales in the area supported by the five general merchants in Yangzhou alone, and the south of Yangzhou will at least triple it.

Even if this is a figure without removing the cost, it is extremely terrifying, excluding the cost, and then so many people divide it, and everyone can make a lot of money.

It is no wonder that the annual salt tax of the national treasury is only more than one million, and drinking private salt is so rampant and so profitable.

"Okay, let's go first, you guys eat and drink. "

Lord Tang received the money, and then Lord Zhao also arranged the next salt, if everyone is fine, they won't stay longer, the five general merchants, each responsible for their own area, generally will not have any mess.

After a few officials left, everyone let go of eating, drinking and having fun.

"It's kind of interesting.

Zhu Cihong watched the people from the Yangzhou government leave, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, these people are good, save money for him, good, very good.

"Come, come, come.

Jiang Zongshang beckoned to Li Ruolian and said with a smile: "Brother Li, come here, take you to a fun place." With

that, a group of people went down to the wooden platform in the lake, and came to the top floor of the attic, where their five major merchants, the Bamboo Gang, and some relatively large distributors gathered here.

Li Ruolian and the three walked in, and everyone greeted them with a smile, which was regarded as a person along the way, and there would be business contact in the future.

"You will be below me in the future, I will give you Yizhen County, which is close to Nanjing, and it is also close to Yangzhou.

Jiang Zongshang smiled and said: "After you, you can get salt and other goods from me, any grain, tea, silk or something."

"Not only Yangzhou Mansion, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, all have my Jiang someone's industry, if you want to develop here, I Jiang Mou up and down, you can open a few shops in each place is no problem, but ......

" Jiang Zongshang smiled, and said: "I don't know, Brother Li has this strength."

"Porcelain to find Lao Zhang, wine to find Lao He, cloth to find Lao Zhou, rouge gouache to find Lao Yang, to ensure that your business is all-encompassing, prosperous." "

Anyway, even if they mean it, the five of them must have benefits, and if you Brother Li want to gain a foothold here, you have to send some money to each of them, no matter how much you buy, you have to buy anyway.

"Can there be more things in Longmen Department Store?" Zhu

Cihong suddenly said this, which immediately attracted everyone's side glances, and Jiang Zongshang couldn't help frowning slightly, showing displeasure.

"Longmen Department Store is full of things that are very popular and in line with the common people, while our goods are all things for the rich, and the two are naturally not comparable.

Jiang Zongshang still smiled, did not immediately turn his face, Yangzhou since the Longmen Department Store, their business has been much worse, the same thing, other places can be one or two silver, but then the Longmen Department Store is only sixty or seventy Wen, fools know where to buy things.

But on the contrary, no one dared to move this Longmen Department Store, so this Longmen Department Store did not open a large area.

Zhu Cihong smiled awkwardly, he swore that he didn't mean to choke the other party, he was just just curious and compared.

"My third brother is still young, and he knows this aspect more clearly, so Mr. Jiang is not strange.

Li Ruolian stood up to play a round game, and said: "What Mr. Jiang said, I have responded, here is the budget of 500,000 taels of silver tickets, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Suzhou all rely on Mr. Jiang to get through the contacts, and as soon as the store opens, this silver ticket will be presented with both hands immediately."

"Okay, refreshed!" Jiang

Zongshang looked at the silver ticket in Li Ruolian's hand, and then looked at the denomination, it was indeed 500,000 taels of silver, yes, he immediately smiled, thinking that this person is afraid that he is not a loser, and he doesn't understand anything about the extravagant spending of the property accumulated over generations.

"Jiangyin!"

"The child is here."

At this time, Jiang Yin, the son of Jiang Zongshang, walked in and greeted everyone: "Hello uncles."

"Brother Li, your two younger brothers will let the dog accompany you, and when the time comes, you will be accompanied by the dog in Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, and help you go up and down to make friends with the nobles over there."

Jiang Zongshang smiled secretly in his heart, it is very simple to open a store in Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, you don't need to get through any contacts at all, you just have money, except for salt, which is not allowed to be sold, everything else can be sold, and when the time comes, his son will take them to eat, drink and have fun, and take it as a help, and the other party will have nothing to say, and then sell some goods to them at a high price.

"Yes, of course.

Li Ruolian laughed, looking at Jiang Yin's eyes a little, meaningful, and go to Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou to play with His Royal Highness the Prince.
