Although the secret transaction between me and Shanxi Province has not yet begun, I have not yet obtained a tael of silver from the Shanxi and Shaanxi Governor's Office. I will read the wonderful light novel.

However, Wang Chengyi, who is very familiar with the situation in Shandong, is certain that as long as he works hard, he can definitely send at least one million immigrants to the two provinces of Shandong and Shaanxi in just a few months.

One million immigrants, according to negotiation, are 200,000 taels of silver...

Calculate according to the fifty taels of silver required to train an elite soldier every year. With this 200,000 taels of silver, you can train four thousand elites who are completely obedient to you in a short period of time.

By then, the bandits in the entire Shandong will no longer be threatening their dominance in Shandong.

Not only that, the court far away in the capital did not dare to mobilize itself at will as it used to be.

Just when Wang Chengyi looked forward to his bright future with a smile on his face.

A slight rapid footsteps directly pulled him back to reality from his dream.

Just as Wang Chengyi looked up at the door of the lobby, the yamen runner who had collected a silver ingot of Zhou Shuyuan two days ago walked in again with hurried footsteps.

"Report to the master, the master who came to the yamen two days ago is here again... Now at the gate of the yamen, he said that he has something to do to meet you... I don't know what the master means..."

"Main thing..." Wang Chengyi frowned and said to himself with a worried face.

"Does the other party want to repent and cancel the transaction with me..."

No matter what Wang Chengyi thought, since Zhou Shuyuan, as a rich man, has come, he must meet him. Otherwise, he may not get one or two dollars in the money he urgently needs.

So. After the yamen runner finished speaking, Wang Chengyi only thought about it in the blink of an eye and ordered: "Hurry, invite someone in immediately... No, I will go and invite this God of Wealth in person..."

After the two of them sat down in the lobby of the governor's yamen, Wang Chengyi, with a smile on his face, quickly asked: "Mr. Zhou, come here so anxiously, is there something wrong with our transaction..."

Facing Wang Chengyi's anxious gaze towards him, Zhou Shuyuan quickly shook his head and replied: "No problem, no problem at all... I have sent our transaction content back to the Governor's Office... From now on, the transaction can be carried out-... Lord Wang, how many people you send to Shanxi? The Governor's Office of Shanxi will give Lord Wang the corresponding silver reward..."

Hearing this, Wang Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief while unable to help but sigh.

"That's good...that's good..."

Then, as if he thought of something, he continued to ask Zhou Shuyuan in front of him: "Mr. Zhou, since there is no problem with the transaction, what is the reason why Master Zhou returns?"

Zhou Shuyuan smiled and replied: "Mr. Wang, the reason why I am leaving and returning is to give you another silver."

"Send silver..." Hearing these words, a hint of doubt flashed across Wang Chengyi's face, and was once again covered by a hot expression full of expectations. Waiting for Zhou Shuyuan's following text.

Under Wang Chengyi's anticipation gaze, Zhou Shuyuan did not give an explanation immediately.

Instead, he spoke in front of Wang Chengyi and analyzed.

"Mr. Wang, according to the transaction content of our two days ago... Even if you send one million immigrants to Shanxi at one time, you can only exchange for 200,000 taels of silver..."

"According to the current price and the salary of the soldiers, 200,000 taels of silver. At most, Lord Wang can only be allowed to raise the army for 4,000..."

"What's more important is that the 200,000 taels of silver is only one year's military expenditure for the 4,000 elite. Next year, Lord Wang will worry about the military expenditure for the 4,000 elite..."

Faced with Zhou Shuyuan's incisive analysis, Wang Chengyi did not speak. After just nodding and nodding in agreement, he looked at Zhou Shuyuan again and waited for Zhou Shuyuan's following text.

At this time, a mysterious smile suddenly flashed through the corner of Zhou Shuyuan's mouth.

He said in a surprising way to Wang Chengyi: "Since Lord Wang is short of silver, I have a good idea here to ensure that Lord Wang can get 200,000 taels of silver every year."

"As long as you get 200,000 taels of silver every year, the 4,000 elite soldiers that Lord Wang is about to train will no longer have to worry about money and food."

Solve the future money and food of 4,000 elites at one time...

Faced with this greater temptation, even if the method Zhou Shuyuan said was not yet revealed, Wang Chengyi was already moved.

He asked Zhou Shuyuan with an anxious look on his face: "Mr. Zhou, what is the way to get so much money every year..."

Zhou Shuyuan no longer hesitated and said to Wang Chengyi directly: "My Lord Wang, for you, this method of my official is a question of your words..."

"On behalf of the Shanxi Governor's Office, I plan to rent a piece of land from Lord Wang... Our Shanxi Governor's Office will pay Mr. Wang a rent of 200,000 taels of silver every year... "

"Rent a land..." Hearing these two words, Wang Chengyi's facial expression, which was still full of expectations, immediately became nervous.

In Wang Chengyi's view, Zhou Shuyuan in front of him had only one purpose, which was to extend the tentacles of the Tiger and Leopard Army to Shandong...

Faced with this way of attracting wolves into the house, Wang Chengyi was ready to refuse without thinking.

And just then, Zhou Shuyuan spoke again: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I have something to say..."

"The purpose of our Shanxi and Shaanxi Governor's Office renting this land is not to plant nails in Shandong, but to boil salt..."

"Mr. Wang should know that after he arrived in Shandong's coastal areas, the sales price was directly increased to one, two or five cents of silver by salt merchants..."

"In other words, every time the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces use a load of coarse salt, they will earn at least one tael of silver by the salt merchants... in a year, it will be millions of taels."

"But if my two provinces in Shanxi and Shaanxi can have their own salt farm along the coast and can cook sea salt by themselves, then the situation will be different... In a year, my two provinces in Shanxi and Shaanxi can save at least one million taels of silver..."

"It is precisely because of this that my official, on behalf of the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, rented a coastal mudflat from Lord Wang to boil salt to solve the salt problem in our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."

"So, I would like to rest assured that my Shanxi Governor's Office rented a mudflat from Lord Wang, and there is no other secret that cannot be told. In addition, I can also guarantee that the number of soldiers dispatched by my Tiger and Leopard Army to the salt field will never exceed 500."

Hearing this, Wang Chengyi's nervous facial expression suddenly relaxed.
