The boss is about to take office. As a secret ally, Zhang Dejian naturally has to help the boss prepare for the rainy day. Otherwise, he will easily be fooled by the cunning subordinates below and the tea merchants who underwrite the tea quotation.

Which prefectures and counties in Sichuan produce tea, how much is the annual production, and which tea merchants have purchased the tea produced... The largest marketers of border tea are Dajianlu, Songfan and Qiongzhou, which are Changzhou.

We are talking about Nanbianyin, Songfan Bianyin and Qiongzhou Bianyin. How many thousands of kilograms of Biancha are sold in these three places each year, and how many thousand taels of silver is it worth?

Zhang Dejian asked about all the details, and shopkeeper Yu explained everything he knew.

When it was said that the Bian tea marketed in Songfan alone was worth more than 700,000 taels of silver a year, even Han Xiufeng and Director Zhang were shocked. They couldn't believe that the tea business could be so big!

Zhang Dejian was asked a lot of inside information that could not be found in Sichuan, especially some twists and turns in the underwriting of tea sales. Zhang Dejian felt that the meal was not in vain. Seeing that Zhang Dejian was in a good mood, shopkeeper Yu complained about it just like last year at the guild hall.

, when he talked about the sad part, he burst into tears and burst into tears.

Zhang Dejian and Han Xiufeng comforted each other for a while, and then changed the subject, saying that Mr. Wu was different from the previous adults. Since he became an official, he has always reminded himself that "it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes when you are an official than to make decisions for the people." As a Sichuan official

The Salt Tea Ceremony will naturally consider Sichuan tea merchants. After taking office, he will never let Western merchants and Hui merchants monopolize the sale of Bian tea like before.

How could Shopkeeper Yu miss this opportunity? He hurriedly stood up to express his thanks. He even wanted to hand over the business in the capital to his second son. He decided to take his eldest son back to his hometown to start the side tea business that had been discontinued for decades. He also vowed to serve Master Wu.

Do the work of dogs and horses.

Zhang Dejian not only promised to take care of Sichuan tea merchants, including the Yu family, but also readily agreed to accompany them as his father and son.

As long as you can curry favor with the salt tea ceremony, it will be difficult for you not to get rich. Han Xiufeng and Director Zhang were happy to see the success. After drinking, they excused themselves to go somewhere else because they had something to do, and asked Shopkeeper Yu to take Zhang Dejian back to the club.

In fact, there was nowhere else to go except the clubhouse that was being renovated and the newly rented courtyard. We all went to the newly rented courtyard and sat down to drink tea for a while. Shopkeeper Yu, who had sent Zhang Dejian back to the clubhouse, really caught up with him.

"Master Han and Master Zhang, your kindness and kindness will be unforgettable to everyone in my family."

"Get up, Shopkeeper Yu, we are all on our own, what are you doing?"

"Yeah, I'm just a person, so there's no need to be polite."

Shopkeeper Yu still felt like he was dreaming until this moment. He stood up and said with a grin: "Mr. Han, Mr. Zhang, I just sent Mr. Zhang back to the provincial branch. I also met Mr. Wu who also just returned to the provincial branch. Mr. Wu also asked

A few words for me. If it weren’t for the help of you two, let alone being able to talk to Mr. Wu, I might not even be able to enter the Daotai Yamen, and I wouldn’t even be able to see him!"

"Manager Yu, you are very polite. As the head of the guild hall, this is what I should do. If you really want to thank me, thank Director Zhang."

"Thank you all, thank you all. Today I...I..."

Han Xiufeng knew that he wanted to say that he had no money, so he looked at Director Zhang and couldn't help but smile: "Manager Yu, we have a long way to go. We'll talk about thanking you later. Let's talk about your next plan first. Are you serious?

Go back to your hometown?"

"Go back, of course!" Shopkeeper Yu took the tea from cousin He Heng's hand, sat down and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. In the past, I had no choice but to leave my hometown and come to the capital. Now with your support, let me

I'm just trying to flatter Mr. Wu. I can't miss such a good opportunity. If I miss it, I'll be sorry for your hard work, so I really plan to go back."

Director Zhang mused: "It is more profitable to underwrite Bian tea than to sell tea in the capital."

"Master Zhang, although the business in Beijing is not big, it has been managed by me over the years. It would be a pity to close the business like this. I plan to hand over the business in Beijing to Quanzi, and I ask Master Zhang to take care of me in the future."

"Now that you've made up your mind, go back. Zhixing and I will keep an eye on you in the capital."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, and thank you, Mr. Han."

"Here we go again, Shopkeeper Yu, you can't speak anymore if you do this again."

"Okay, okay, I won't say thank you for your kindness. I'll make up for it tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Yu was so happy that although he sent out 500 taels of silver notes in the evening, the work he accomplished was far more than the 500 taels. He was in a hurry to go home and tell his three sons the good news, and he also had to raise money to accompany them.

Mr. Wu went back to his hometown in Sichuan together and said goodbye to Han Xiufeng and Han Xiufeng after thanking him profusely.

Thinking of his cheerful appearance before leaving, Director Zhang couldn't help joking: "Zhixing, you really live and learn. It seems that I will have to give this favor away in the future. It's a pity that we in Sichuan only have these few in the capital."

Businessman, you have dragged me to the Chongqing Guild Hall, so I have no choice but to give it away even if I want to."

"Director Zhang, where are your words? Besides, I have no choice but to do this. If I don't deal with Shopkeeper Yu and Shopkeeper Wen, how can I renovate the guild hall?"

"It's not easy, it's really not easy." Director Zhang walked out of the room, looked back at the lijin where the Ao family lived, and sighed: "This is called wanting to change when you are poor. If the house had not been in disrepair for a long time, it would not be able to operate. Ji Jin

Master, they will not agree to turn the test hall into a commercial hall. What’s more important is that you are there. If you hadn’t stepped forward to help, the guild hall would not have been renovated."

Thinking of turning the test hall into a commercial hall and letting the capital officials and merchants become brothers, it was really not a glorious thing to say it. Han Xiufeng said with an embarrassed look: "It makes Director Zhang laugh."

"Why are you laughing? It's true if you have money these days. If you don't have money, you have to save face and suffer." Director Zhang walked out of the yard and turned around and said: "Zhixing, I really didn't know this before. I just listened to Shopkeeper Yu at night.

I know that the Bian tea business is going well. I thought that if you want to make a lot of money in this business, you have to spend a lot of money. How can he go to the tea garden to collect tea leaves without tens of thousands of taels of capital? Don’t you think so?"

"That makes sense. You can do as much business as you want with the money you have." Han Xiufeng was convinced.

Director Zhang thought for a while and then asked: "Zhixing, I haven't had much dealings with Shopkeeper Yu before. I don't know how big his family background is. How big do you think this business can be?"

How could Han Xiufeng not hear the implication of his words, and said in deep thought: "He should be able to scrape together seven or eight thousand taels, but it is not easy to expand the Biancha business. After all, his opponents are wealthy Western and Huizhou merchants.

"

"What kind of person is Shopkeeper Yu? Is he reliable in his work?"

"He is a decent person. He can gain a foothold in the capital and make such a large tea business. He can't do it without respecting his credibility."

Director Zhang weighed it up, stared at him closely and said: "Zhixing, I think this is also an opportunity for us. Didn't Shopkeeper Yu say before he left that he wanted to come to thank you? You can probe his tone and ask him
