Chapter 817 Giving gifts, no officials and no corruption

The shopkeeper went down to make arrangements. For so many years in Jian'an City, the officials in Jian'an City often greeted each other. If not, how could the business be done smoothly under the protection of these people, although it cost a little money. But after these years, the relationship between the two has been established very well, and the shopkeeper will not make them suspicious if he brings the things in person.

The shopkeeper went to the government office in Anshi City with two assistants.After waiting outside for a short while, someone inside came out to tell the shopkeeper to go in.

The shopkeeper left the two clerks outside the door, walked into the mansion by himself, arrived at the hall of the mansion, and met the general of Jian'an City.

That's right, it's the general. Those who are in charge of Jian'an City are usually military generals. Because Linhai, facing Silla, Baekje, and Datang, military generals are more reassuring than civilian officials. The internal affairs of the city are handled by the lieutenant generals or civil servants in the army, and the taxes paid go directly to the general's treasury.

So in this way, the person in charge of Jian'an City is also a fat job, a fat job that can make people squeeze their heads to grab it.

Such a position is naturally assigned by Quan Gai Suwen. Long ago, the conflict between Quan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu was already irreconcilable. No emperor would let a powerful official sit on his couch. What's more, the talent of this powerful minister is no worse than his own.

On the surface, Quan Gai Suwen, who is hypocritical and resigned, is secretly making his own arrangements, such as placing people everywhere, and Jian'an City is also a place that Quan Gai Suwen fancy.

Linhai, with developed commerce and high taxation, this shows that Jian'an City must be quite prosperous in the future. With money, it will have the capital to recruit soldiers and the capital to fight against Gao Jianwu.

With these capitals, Quangai Suwen won the internal struggle in Goguryeo.

"General Han, long time no see." The shopkeeper warmly greeted the general above him.

In private, the shopkeeper gave this General Han a lot of things, and this General Han also knew that the shopkeeper was one of the few wealthy merchants in Jian'an City, so he was very eager to him.

People who can bring more wealth to themselves have to treat others with a straight face. He is not those officials of the Tang Dynasty, who are all hypocritical to death.

"Oh, shopkeeper Lin, long time no see, rare customers." General Han also showed great enthusiasm for shopkeeper Lin's arrival.

When the shopkeeper came, how could he come empty-handed, he must have something to get.

"General Han, it's not that I don't have to go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. I came here today because I have something to discuss with General Han." Fu Xu, the shopkeeper, smiled.

"It's easy to talk, shopkeeper, sit down and talk slowly." General Han said to the shopkeeper, and at the same time ordered his attendants to serve tea to the shopkeeper quickly.

"Then let's get straight to the point?" The shopkeeper looked at General Han.

"Shopkeeper Lin, but it's okay to say."

"The guards of the caravan have been coming back from outside these few days. I think the general knows about it. He accidentally learned that our navy in Jian'an City is fighting with Datang?" Shopkeeper Lin directly asked the question to the person sitting at the top. General Han, it's enough to start the conversation. The right to speak next is still to be handed over to this general, so he can adapt to the situation himself.

"This..." Hearing what the shopkeeper said, General Han began to hesitate. This matter can be regarded as a secret for the army, but the guards of this family have seen it with their own eyes. Is this still a secret?

For a while, this General Han really didn't know how to tell this 'old friend'. People came to inquire about this matter, I'm afraid it was because of his own chamber of commerce. This battle has been fought, how can the chamber of commerce be at ease Doing business in this area, this point, General Han made up for it in his own mind, and he quite understands it.

"Shopkeeper Lin, we have been friends for so many years. I will not hide some things from the shopkeeper. The navy did fight with the navy of Datang at sea, but don't worry the shopkeeper. Let's build an city. , it is as stable as an iron barrel, the army of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to fight here, even if Liaodong really fights, we still have Anshi City and Beisha City in front of us, the business of the shopkeeper will definitely not It will be affected." General Han said to Shopkeeper Lin.

This is to fool people no matter how much they say, the war is already going on, how could Jian'an City not be affected, but General Han thought, such a big fortune is mainly gone, how much less tax revenue will be in Jian'an City, privately How much less things will be taken, and if he withdraws from Jian'an City, the rest of the merchants will definitely inquire about the news, and he will send people out of the city to inquire. Isn't Jian'an City in chaos? Less, less tax, how to raise soldiers, how to raise soldiers, how to deal with the army of Tang Dynasty who has not yet reached Liaodong.

This General Han knew about the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Liaodong. The army had already gone halfway. It was impossible for Quan Gai Suwen not to receive the news. After receiving the news, he would send someone to pass it on.The battle in Pyongyang is the battle, but in Liaodong, whether it is Gao Jianwu's party or Quangai Suwen's party, they have to work together to resist the invasion of Datang.

"So that's the case, but there is a brave man like the General in Jian'an City, so there is definitely nothing to worry about." Shopkeeper Lin said.

Wear it for a thousand times, don't wear it for flattery, pick up nice words to make the other party happy, why not do it?

"Hahahaha, what the shopkeeper said is true." General Han laughed.

"However, these days, I saw that the soldiers guarding the city of Jian'an are also working hard, so I prepared some small gifts for you, General Han, and the soldiers in the city." Shopkeeper Lin said.

"Oh? The shopkeeper has a heart. I don't know what kind of things the shopkeeper has prepared. The expenses in the military camp are very strict. I have to check it out." General Han said, stroking his beard.

"Of course, the gift is outside the government office, and the general can send an order to bring it in." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." General Han said three good words in a row, and then ordered his left and right to go out to send a message and ask someone to bring things in.

For this operation, the shopkeeper spent a lot of money and carried two big boxes to the hall of the government office, which was very face-saving and

When the things were brought in, and the two big boxes were put on the ground, General Han was already elated. Shopkeeper Lin’s gift giving has always been honest. This time, my good guy, the two big boxes, how many things did I get? a sum.
