Mr. Gu owns hundreds of acres of land in the countryside of Ba County and Jiangbeiting, and has seven shops in Ba County. The Ao family is even more impressive, with thousands of acres of land in Rongchang, known as "Ao Ban County"! Ji Yun, editor of the Hanlin Academy

Although Fei lived a poor life in the capital, he still had hundreds of acres of land in his hometown.

There are very few officials who are well-established yamen officials and can have as smooth an official career as Mr. Wu. Most officials can only serve one or two terms. Han Xiufeng doesn't think that he can earn as much money as others by serving one term as others.

Even though I have spent the money for decades, I don’t think I can make money in the future if I make money now. I think Director Zhang has a certain truth to what he said.

There are some risks involved in buying and selling Biancha. The only way to avoid taking risks is to buy land. But buying land depends on opportunity. Ba County and Bishan, Jiangjin and even Jiangbeitingshan around Ba County have a lot of land but not enough. If you want to buy it, others will sell it.

.

After much deliberation, I suddenly realized that if I wanted to keep Qin'er, who was far away from home, and the baby in Qin'er's belly from having nothing to do, I could only invest in the tea business with Shopkeeper Yu.

Early the next morning, shopkeeper Yu rushed to the guild hall again with his second son. As soon as he entered the room, he took out a one hundred tael silver note, saying that it was disrespectful to say anything.

"Shop Manager Yu, we will discuss your feelings later. You don't need to worry about your business in the capital and your second son. Even if I take up my post after filling my vacancy, I will ask Master Ji and the others to take care of you before I leave."

"Mr. Han, I feel relieved with your words."

Han Xiufeng looked at his restless second son, and then asked bluntly: "Shopkeeper Yu, I want to know now what you plan to do in the tea business here after you go back, how much money do you plan to make, and how big do you plan to expand the business?"

Shopkeeper Yu didn't expect Han Xiufeng to ask this, and said with a grimace: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Han's jokes. If Master Wu and Mr. Zhang had taken care of me 20 years ago, I would have underwritten the sales of 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms of Biancha. It's a pity.

My family is in a state of decline, and I really can’t raise much capital, and I’ve been away from home for too long, so my business in my hometown has been completely ruined, and I have to start all over again.”

"If you had the capital, how profitable would this business be, excluding all the up-and-down expenses?"

"Tibetans do the best business. They don't bargain much, and most of them barter, shipping the wool, skins, medicinal materials and other goods they exchanged for back to the mainland, after all the expenses are taken out, it's a hassle to say the least.

Forty-five cents profit."

There are four to five points of profit, which is quite a lot!

Han Xiufeng weighed it again, gritted his teeth and took out a stack of banknotes from under the account book, together with the one hundred taels that Shopkeeper Yu and his son had just given, and put them in front of them: "Shopkeeper Yu, the capital is not enough. I have one thousand taels here."

, not lending it to you for turnover, but buying shares. If you lose, you lose. If you make money, how about dividends based on equity?"

Shopkeeper Yu was stunned and couldn't believe this was true.

Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "It's a rare opportunity. It's hard to talk to Mr. Wu. Naturally, this deal needs to be bigger. Not only do I want to invest in it, Director Zhang of the provincial library also plans to invest in it. My family is poor, so I only

You can afford so much. Director Zhang is different. He is very wealthy. If you agree, he will earn at least 5,000 taels."

"Mr. Han, are you kidding?"

"It's so early in the morning, there are so many things to do, I don't have time to joke with you."

"Do you and Director Zhang trust me so much?"

"If I can't believe it, can I still tell you this?"

Shopkeeper Yu confirmed that Han Xiufeng was not joking. He was not filled with emotion but ecstatic. He stood up and held his hands in his hands and said: "Mr. Han, to be honest, I am worried about how much capital I can raise. You and Director Zhang trust me so much. I

I will definitely do a good job in this business after I go back. Please rest assured that the money you leave with me is just a matter of making more or less, and I will never lose it!"

"A shopping mall is like a battlefield. No one dares to make a guarantee whether it's a loss or a profit. Since Director Zhang and I are determined to invest in the shares, we are ready to make a loss." Han Xiufeng asked him to sit down and continued: "Remember before?

I mentioned to you that my father-in-law is working as an errand in the Chongqing Prefecture. I will write a letter later and you can help me deliver the letter to my father-in-law. I dare not tell other places, but in the fourteen prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Prefecture, he will definitely do it.

I’ll try my best to make things easier for you.”

"Your father-in-law is Duan Jingcheng from the Chongqing government office. I know this. With Duan Jingcheng's help, I can send him to Chongqing to collect tea leaves."

"My father-in-law can only give you some convenience. Director Zhang has a wider network than I do. He has been the director for so many years, and there is no official from Sichuan that he doesn't recognize. After buying shares, he will ask his cousin to follow him.

The reason why you go back to your hometown together is not because he is worried that you will run away with money, but because he wants his cousin to help you smoothen the relationship between states and counties."

"That's great, Mr. Han. With your and Director Zhang's help, it would be unreasonable to lose this deal!"

"We can only help from the side. You are the expert in the tea business here. Besides, whether this business can be completed depends on the care of Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang. Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang will leave tomorrow. This relationship is not considered right now.

I'm trying to flatter you, but it's not solid enough. You should know what to do along the way."

"I know, don't worry, Mr. Han, I will take good care of you along the way."

Han Xiufeng nodded slightly and continued: "As we approach Ba County, ask your eldest son to hire a speedboat and go ahead of you to find my father-in-law in Ba County. My father-in-law will go and invite you when he sees my letter."

Mr. Gu will go to Chaotianmen Pier to wait for Mr. Wu. Later, you can go to the Provincial Museum to find Director Zhang, and Director Zhang will definitely give an explanation. In short, we will work together to do our best.

I’ll help you secure your relationship with Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang.”

Why Shanxi merchants can do such big business is not because they can curry favor with government officials!

Shopkeeper Yu never thought that such a day would come to him, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak.

Han Xiufeng gave detailed instructions, wrote a letter to his father-in-law and Mr. Gu each in front of him, and also wrote a share purchase contract in duplicate, and then sent the father and son to the provincial consulate.

Pan Er found a Shandongese who knew how to repair old objects, and also found an old carpenter who knew how to do fine work through a Shandongese. He rushed to the newly rented yard happily, but was stopped by He Heng's cousin and refused to see Han Xiufeng.

I could only wait in the yard angrily.

After finally waiting for Han Xiufeng to finish his official business and send away the Yu family and his son, and was about to introduce the two people he had found, Han Xiufeng asked: "Chang Sheng, before I left, the second master seemed to have said that he recognized which imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital, that imperial physician

It seems that you have been to our guild hall, do you remember the surname of the imperial doctor and where he lives?"

Pan Er was stunned and said thoughtfully: "The imperial doctor's surname is Chen. I don't know his name, and I don't know where he lives, but someone knows."

"who?"

"Qian Junchen."

"Qian Junchen has gone to Wuchang a long time ago. He knows what it is used for."

Thinking of the preparations Fei Erye made before the examination, Pan Er couldn't help but smile and said: "Qian Junchen knows it's useless, but it's not difficult to find out. Because Chen Taiyi also went to Gongyuan during the examination and went in with Qian Junchen

, they didn’t come out until the second master and the others finished the exam. He was specially there to help the examiners and candidates with their medical treatment.”

"Going to see a doctor can be regarded as a simple errand. It's not difficult to find out."

"Why are you asking about this? Fourth brother, is someone sick?"

Han Xiufeng looked at the two strangers standing behind him and said with a smile: "No one is sick. I just want to introduce Shopkeeper Chu to Dr. Chen. If Dr. Chen can do it, I can buy some medicine from Shopkeeper Chu, even if it's just
