Xiaosheng is not a nerd

As for Na Yuan Le, he also gave Xie Fu a faint look, not Gu Xianting.

Perhaps Xie Fu's heroic demeanor could arouse Yuan Le's interest more than the beauty of Gu Xianting.

Since the amount of the security deposit was too large, it took a long time from moving the silver box in to counting the amount.

Li Baiyong, Huo Duan, and Yuan Le each received 8 taels, and Gu Xianting 10 taels.

Zhu Shide reached an astonishing 15 taels, and he is likely to defend his title.

When counting the amount of guarantee deposits of the Zhu family in Hangzhou, the person who was sent by Zhu Zhengliang to inquire about the news just came back and whispered in Zhu Zhengliang's ear: "Old Master, I found out that the 10 taels of silver came from Tantai Mansion." from."

Zhu Zhengliang was stunned for a moment, Tantai Heqing?Immediately there was a smile on his face.

The grain business of the Zhu family in Hangzhou spread all over the Jiangnan East Road, and Tantai Heqing is one of the largest cloth merchants in Suzhou. Although the two parties have no business contacts because of their different industries, how could Zhu Zhengliang not know each other.

Since it is Tantai Heqing, there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how rich Tantai Heqing is, he is just an ordinary businessman after all.

In the final analysis, a businessman like this still has to live with the aura of a wealthy and famous family.

And his Zhu family in Hangzhou is a close relative of the Zhu family in Suzhou and belongs to the Zhu family.

Seeing his father smiling, Zhu Shide asked in a low voice, "Father?"

Zhu Zhengliang said the name: "It's Tantai Crane Love."

Zhu Shide smiled and said: "No wonder you are so rich, you can get 10 taels."

He added another sentence: "After all, I am a generation of women, I don't know the depth of it."

The five grains are the life of the people and the treasure of the country.How can the cloth business be comparable?

This process of showing the security deposit and counting the amount is like a ceremony. It seems to be meaningless, but it is necessary for its existence, at least to show everyone's strength.

Ye Meixun's spokesperson confirmed and officially announced the eligibility of the five contestants. Master Mei will make a decision three days later after reading the bid documents.

This is not a trivial matter, and it is understandable that the process is a bit complicated.

Xie Fu and the others were about to leave when a middle-aged man came to Xie Fu's side and said in a low voice, "Master Xie, my master Huo Duan Huo is here to invite you."

After taking a look at Gu Xianting and Ye Jieyi, Xie Fu smiled and nodded: "Please lead the way."

The middle-aged man led the way, Xie Fu deliberately slowed down, Gu Xianting understood and walked to the front.

"Master, Mr. Xie is here."

Huo Duan, who was waiting in the house, immediately stood up, stepped forward to greet him and said, "Thank you, Young Master."

In front of his eyes, the first person who walked in was such a beautiful little lady Gu Xianting, Huo Duan was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.

Xie Fu took the opportunity to introduce: "Mr. Huo, this is my boss, Ms. Gu Xianting. My boss also participated in the competition for the Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant. I must have met Master Huo in the auditorium just now."

Huo Duan thought to himself, since you have become the governor of Huainan Road, you can no longer engage in business according to the law, and this Miss Gu is just your spokesperson.

To be able to hand over such an important position to others must be someone with a deep relationship and trust.

Thinking of this, Huo Duan did not dare to neglect, and respectfully saluted: "Miss Gu."

Gu Xianting replied: "Master Huo."

Huo Duan invited Xie's mansion, while Li sat down with Huo Duan and Li was Gu Xianting, while Xie Fu and Ye Jieyi stood up in order to show their respect for Gu Xianting.

Although Huo Duan was a little weird in his heart, after all, he was a big businessman who had dealt with big and small situations, so he behaved very naturally on the surface.

Let’s talk about how he and Xie Fu are from Yangzhou, talk about Xie Fu’s family history, and express my admiration for Xie Yaoqing and the Xie family in Kuaiji.

Ye Jieyi smiled and looked at Xie Fu meaningfully, this Huo Duan is flattering you again.

Gu Xianting was delighted when she heard it, she just felt as if she was praising her family, maybe in her heart she had already regarded herself as Xie's daughter-in-law.

While chatting, Huo Duan shifted the topic to the grain business, saying that his business spread all over the country and even neighboring countries, and he has a huge land and water transportation network. He is blessed with unique conditions, which is why he bid for the Jiangnan Dongdao grain general merchant.

On the surface, these words were meant for Gu Xianting, but in fact they were meant for Xie Fu, the soon-to-be appointed Jiedu Envoy of Huainan Road. The implication was that, Lord Jiedu Envoy, you have to secure this position, but you still have to rely on my ability, Huo Duan. .

Xie Fu heard that he really had an idea. With Huo Duan's help, his grain business would be even more powerful in the future.

Rats have rat ways, snakes have snake ways, and an official also needs to have a good relationship with these businessmen.

The question is whether Huo Duan is worth his trust.

Seeing that Xie Fu didn't speak, Huo Duan glanced at Xie Fu, and said to Gu Xianting: "Miss Gu, Huo has an unfeeling request. If Huo loses the bidding this time and Miss Gu wins the bid, Huo wants to make a deal with you." Miss Gu has cooperated."

Before the result came out, Huo Duan first said that he had lost the bid, and he had the intention of retreating in the face of difficulties.

Secondly, he just explained that his unique transportation network also paves the way for cooperation.

Gu Xianting couldn't pay attention to this kind of thing. He should have looked at Xie Fu and asked his opinion, and replied with a smile on his mouth: "Master Huo, the result is still undecided. This matter will be discussed in the long term after the little girl wins the bid."

"That's that, that's that." Huo Duan looked at Xie Fu with a chuckle, and asked, "Mr. Xie, you think tank, don't you pay attention to Miss Gu?"

Mr. Xie, I, Huo Duan, am not stupid. I know that you are the one who really decides.

Ye Jieyi glanced at Xie Fu, and his eyes secretly promised that no matter whether Huo Duan is worthy of trust or not, this grain business needs to make good use of Huo Duan's unique transportation network.

In the tender document sent up, the content included the development of multiple convenient grain roads on land and waterways in Jiangnan East Road. Huo Duan's huge transportation network fits this point.

Xie Fu had the intention of cooperating in his heart, but he didn't want to express it in a hurry, and said with a smile: "This matter is a big one, and Xie Fu is humble, so I dare not make a judgment lightly."

Huo Duan chuckled: "Of course, it's hard for us to trust each other deeply when we meet for the first time. This business also needs to get to know each other better."

"Miss Gu, let me tell you the truth. Silla and Goryeo are at war, and the war is chaotic. At present, my business in the two countries cannot continue."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, both countries need food to stabilize the situation in the country. Both the King of Silla and the King of Koryo asked me for a lot of money to buy food and grass."

Xie Fu praised: "Mr. Huo's business is really big, even the king of Silla and the king of Koryo asked him for it."

Seeing that Xie Fu finally took the initiative to speak, Huo Duan looked at Xie Fu and sighed: "Huo is just doing business quietly and quietly, but he is famous. Although this is an opportunity, if it doesn't work out, I'm afraid Huo It will be difficult to establish a foothold in Silla and Korea in the future, and the foundations I have operated in the two countries for many years may be in vain.”

As he spoke, he sighed again and again, appearing very distressed, as if he needed help from others.

"Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, and Yangzhou's Shanyang port can go directly to Silla and Koryo. However, the food business is not in my business, and Huo Mou is like a headless chicken for a while."

Xie Fu smiled: "Mr. Huo is rich, so are you afraid that you won't be able to buy food?"

Huo Duan gave Xie Fu a meaningful look, and the implication seemed to be saying, son, I admit that you have extraordinary abilities, but when it comes to doing business, you also need to be virtuous.

He said with a smile on his mouth: "Mr. Xie doesn't know something. The official food is controlled by the state governments and cannot be bought and sold privately, and the civilian food is in the hands of these Jiangnan grain merchants. If there is no instruction from the Jiangnan Dongdao grain merchants, who will these big grains be?" And dare to secretly sell food to Huo."

There are unwritten rules in any industry. If someone does not abide by the rules, he will naturally be kicked out.

Grain merchants don’t need to do anything else. Guaranteeing the needs of the people’s livelihood is the basic duty. Grain merchants in each region have a basic quota. If a large amount of grain is privately sold to other places, it will cause local food shortages and soaring food prices. As a grain merchant, it is hard to escape the responsibility.

Xie Fu said: "For this problem, Mr. Huo should go to Master Zhu from the Zhu family."

Huo Duan laughed and said, "No, Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant is going to bid again, so I'm more optimistic about Ms. Gu."

We chatted for a while, and even though we didn't come up with any results, it was still a contact and we got to know each other.

Walking out of the guild hall, Gu Xianting smiled and said: "Young Master Xie, I feel that we need Huo Duan's help, although it is a bit risky to seek skin from a tiger."

Although Gu Xianting didn't talk much just now, he listened very seriously. Huo Duan's advantage is what they need for this grain business.

Xie Fu said with a smile: "Since it is cooperation, it means that both parties benefit. If we benefit, what benefit does Huo Duan get? If there is no benefit, how can Huo Duan contribute in vain?"

Gu Xianting said: "He didn't make it very clear just now that Silla and Korea are at war and they need food."

Xie Fu said: "How much food will be needed for the two countries to fight, and how long will it take to fight? If the food in the entire Jiangnan East Road is emptied, causing the price of food to soar, what should be done, so it is not so easy to promise."

Ye Jieyi smiled and said: "Fudi, I don't think you need to worry too much. It is Huo Duan's greatest benefit to get your approval."

Xie Fu and Gu Xianting looked at Ye Jieyi at the same time.

Ye Jieyi said with a deep meaning: "Huo Duan keeps fawning on you, what does it look like?"

Seeing that the two of them couldn't come out, Ye Jieyi covered his mouth and chuckled: "Like a dog wagging its tail, I guess Huo Duan already knew that you were going to be Jiedushi and his parents' officer soon, and his main property was in Yangzhou. In Jiangnan."

Gu Xianting was shocked when he heard the words, does your lord really want to be Jiedushi!
Xie Fu had already told her about this matter, but Gu Xianting couldn't believe it, but if he said it from Ye Jieyi's mouth now, it would be true.

Ye Jieyi said: "To curry favor with you, isn't it a very beneficial thing for Huo Duan? Even if Silla and Goryeo are really at war, and they really spend a lot of money to buy food from Huo Duan, maybe it's just Huo Duan Duan flatters your rhetoric."

Xie Fu said: "If Huo Duan already knows that I want to be a Jiedushi, then this person is really not simple, even I am not sure whether I can be a Jiedushi."

Ye Jieyi said lightly: "Huo Duan's business has reached Chang'an, how can Chang'an be without his people, this kind of important matter related to his own interests, naturally cannot escape his eyes and ears."
