Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 132 I will teach you how to do business

"dismount!"

Zheng Jiu and others followed Fang Yuan and shouted.

People have surrounded Changsun Chong and others.

Not to mention that they are riding horses, even flies cannot fly out.

The horse was frightened and began to become restless, pacing in the small space.

Chang Sun Chong and the others turned ugly, and they looked at each other, and finally dismounted bitterly.

As Fang Yuan said, this is Liaozhou City, not Chang'an City.

In Liaozhou City, Fang Yuan is the largest.

If you tear your face apart, their status as the son of the Duke is not enough.

Moreover, the few of them didn't take it seriously, and it would be embarrassing for them to spread it out.

"Is Fang Fang so sure that we will leave?"

Changsun Chong frowned, his face was ugly.

Arranged in advance for the city guards to stare at him and the others, and they appeared so early again.

Is it just that you don't believe in how they are?

Qin Huaiyu and the others were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Fang Yuan unkindly.

Scholars can be killed but cannot be humiliated, today they feel a deep sense of shame from Fang Yuan.

They didn't think about running away at first, but there was no way, because they really didn't have enough money.

Fang Yuan treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it is too much to prevent them and others from escaping in advance.

"It's just a suspicion."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

He was just skeptical, he didn't expect that they would actually run away.

"Just suspicion?"

Chang Sun Chong snorted coldly, expressing his disbelief.

I suspect that there is no need to bring so many state officials with great fanfare, right?

Looking at the dozens of state officials at the scene, I am afraid that all the state officials have been mobilized, right?

Naturally, Chang Sun Chong didn't know that there were as many as three hundred state officials in Liaozhou.

Qin Huaiyu and the others also expressed disbelief, and even looked down on Fang Yuan in their hearts.

"Hey guys, it's me!"

Du He got off the carriage suddenly, and looked at Chang Sun Chong and the others with a smile.

"Doo Ho?!"

Chang Sun Chong and the others were taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Du He also appeared in Liaozhou City.

They agreed to set off together before, but Du He disappeared when they set off.

So instead of waiting for Du He, they decided to set off.

Unexpectedly, Du He had already arrived in Liaozhou City.

Probably earlier than them.

"Du He, what do you mean it's you?"

Qin Huaiyu felt that Du He's words were not right, so he asked Du He.

"Hee hee, I betrayed you."

"I told Fang Yuan that you will definitely run away."

Du He laughed.

He was actually there when the guest house opened.

But not at the door, but in the guest house to visit the equipment of the guest house.

He was very curious about soft mattresses, toilets, hot water at [-] o'clock, bathtubs, water pipes, etc., so he stayed inside.

After the visit later, when he saw Qin Huaiyu betting with Fang Yuan when he went out, he was embarrassed to come out, after all, he had a very good relationship with Qin Huaiyu and others.

When the final bet was over, he happened to meet Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan asked him to help watch over Qin Huaiyu and others, and offered benefits, so he immediately told Fang Yuan that Qin Huaiyu and others would run away.

Immediately there were soldiers blocking the way, and Fang Yuan arrived so soon.

"You, you are really my good brother!"

Qin Huaiyu pointed at Du He, almost speechless with anger.

"Du He, I want to fight you!"

"Du He, I want to cut off your righteousness by cutting off your robe!"

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin shouted angrily.

After more than ten years of relationship, this bastard actually reported on them.

"Brothers, I don't want to, but Fang Yuan gave too much."

"Hurry up and pay back the money, I can get [-]% from you."

Du He didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead he smiled at Qin Huaiyu and others.

When Fang Yuan asked him to help watch Qin Huaiyu and others, the condition was that Qin Huaiyu and others paid back [-]% of the money, that is to say, it was as much as thirty pennies.

"You, you sold us for an achievement?"

Cheng Chumo was so angry that his nose came out thickly.

"One percent is thirty percent, can you handle it?"

Du He rolled his eyes at him and said.

"Um, it doesn't seem to work."

Cheng Chumo was stunned and said in embarrassment.

He suddenly felt that thirty guan is not impossible.

"Okay, shut up."

"Inspector Fang, what are you going to do with us?"

Chang Sun Chong interjected, looked at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.

Several people seemed to regard Chang Sun Chong as their respect, and looked at Fang Yuan one after another.

"I don't want to deal with you, but want you to keep your promise."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Take out the bet just now.

The contract was divided into three parts, one part was in Qin Huaiyu's hands, one part was in Fang Yuan's hands, and one part was in the Governor's Mansion.

It was written very clearly in black and white, and the money owed by Qin Huaiyu, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, etc. was clearly written.

"We don't have so much money now, I just went back to Chang'an City to get it for you."

The eldest grandson darkened his face and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, we went back to Chang'an City to get it for you."

Cheng Chu nodded silently.

He secretly sighed that Chang Sun Chong was smart.

"Then why did Qin Huaiyu leave too?"

Fang Yuan chuckled, looked at Qin Huaiyu and said.

"I, I'm sending them away."

Qin Huaiyu's complexion changed, and he said zhizhiwuwu.

He sighed in his heart, knowing that Fang Yuan was reminding him about his younger brother for three years.

Regret it, to be Fang Yuan's younger brother for three years without knowing it, it's embarrassing to say it.

How will you still live in Chang'an City in the future?

"I see."

"Then you can go."

Fang Yuan suddenly realized, then looked at Changsun Chong and the others and said with a smile.

Changsun Chong and the others lost their composure all of a sudden, they looked at each other and then at Qin Huaiyu.

"However, I would like to remind everyone that if the money does not arrive after one month, I will have someone announce these contracts in Chang'an City."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Trying to escape won't stop them.

Unless it is, they don't care about their reputation.

But as the sons of the Duke, they cherish their reputation more than anyone else.

The more high-ranking people are, the more they cherish their reputation, which is very different from later generations.

Many people in this era regard fame as something as important as life.

"I, I suddenly feel that there is no need to go, we can find someone to borrow money."

Cheng Chumo said suddenly.

"Who can you borrow money from?"

Yuchi Baolin gave him a blank look, and said speechlessly.

Cowardly, really cowardly, I'm afraid to announce it in Chang'an City.

Wouldn't he be beaten up by his own father at most, anyway, it wouldn't be very hard.

"Look, look for Du Miaoyan!"

A figure flashed in Cheng Chumo's mind.

That's right, it's Du Miaoyan, he is the young head of the royal firm, he must be rich.

In Liaozhou City, they only knew Du Miaoyan, as long as Du Miaoyan lent them money.

Cheng Chumo was really afraid of his father. When he beat someone, he felt like killing an enemy. He couldn't kill half of his life after a fat beating. He never dared to let his father know.

"Looks like it's okay?"

Yuchi Baolin looked at Changsun Chong and said.

Instead of being exposed by Fang Yuan, it is better to ask Du Miaoyan to borrow money.

For the sake of everyone growing up, Du Miaoyan will not refuse to borrow money, right?
"Fang Inspector, did you hear me, please make way."

Chang Sun Chong thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

It would definitely not be good to leave Qin Huaiyu here.

And really, as Fang Yuan said, if the contract is announced in Chang'an City, what face do they have?
"Please help yourself."

Fang Yuan didn't stop him, he smiled lightly.

Changsun Chong exchanged glances with the others, got on his horse and prepared to leave.

"Hey guys, wait for me."

Du He rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said.

He was worried that Zhang Sun Chong and others would leave secretly, and worried that they would not be able to get the thirty guns.

"Don't wait, let's go!"

The eldest grandson rode his horse away with a bang.

Qin Huaiyu and the others followed suit and went back to the city.

"Fang Yuan, lend me a horse."

"Brothers, wait for me, wait for me."

Doo yelled.

Get on Zheng Jiu's horse and rush back.

Zheng Jiu looked at Du He's leaving back, and then at Fang Yuan.

"Just let people go and ask for it back."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

Then he waved to the guarding captain.

Tell him not to let these people go without his own order.

The sons of the duke of the state have a lot of connections behind them, so they can't just let them go.

However, how to use these relationships has not been figured out yet, but it is very necessary to keep them in Liaozhou City first.

the other side.

Du He quickly caught up with Chang Sun Chong and the others.

"Brothers, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Didn't you go to my sister to borrow money? Wait for me."

Du He said with a smile.

"Du He, you're such a bastard, I've misjudged you!"

Qin Huaiyu spoke first.

It's all Du He's fault, otherwise his plan would have worked.

It's a pity that it's just a little bit worse, just a little bit worse.

"Huaiyu, I'm saving you."

"Think about it, if Fang Yuan really spreads your story in Chang'an City, wouldn't it be you who are ashamed?"

Du He said with a smile.

"So we have to thank you?"

The eldest grandson raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Du He said is somewhat reasonable.

They only wanted to leave, Fang Yuan couldn't target them if he left Liaozhou City.

But he didn't expect that even if he left Chang'an City, Fang Yuan would still be able to find them.

After all, I know my situation, the Duke's Mansion is in Chang'an City, so I will know after a little questioning.

"That's not necessary, we are all good brothers after all."

Du He patted his chest and said.

Seeing this, Changsun Chong and the others seemed to have wronged Du He, so they slowed down slowly.

"Since you are a good brother, how about the thirty guan rewards you received from Fang Yuan, free from the debts owed by us brothers?"

Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes and suggested.

"Yes, I think it's okay, we are all good brothers."

Cheng Chumo was the first to second, nodding repeatedly.

"Yes, good brother."

Yuchi Baolin and Changsun Chong also nodded.

"Qin Huaiyu, show some face."

"That's thirty guan, not thirty. Hello brother, give it to me."

Du He rolled his eyes repeatedly at Qin Huaiyu, speechless.

"Fortunately, brother, are you such a good brother?"

"Not to mention thirty guan, I will give you even [-] guan when you are in trouble!"

Qin Huaiyu blushed and said loudly.

Chang Sun Chong and others immediately looked at Qin Huaiyu with contempt in their eyes.

"You don't believe it?!"

Qin Huaiyu blushed even more, and said loudly.

"Trust me, Huai Yuyi is thin on Yuntian!"

Chang Sun Chong and others immediately spoke and looked at Du He.

"Tch, you don't believe me if you believe me."

"How about I ask my sister to borrow three hundred guan from each of you, and then you help me?"

Du He rolled his eyes, expressing his disbelief.

"Du He, break up the friendship."

"Du He, cut off your robe and judge justice!"

"Du He, we are no longer good brothers!"

Qin Huaiyu spoke first, and then left quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Sun Chong, Cheng Chumo and others also left bold words and left.

"Hey, good brother, wait for me."

Du He quickly caught up.

Soon, everyone came to the Royal Firm and found Du Miaoyan.

"Three hundred guan, I won't be able to take it out for a while."

Du Miaoyan didn't say no.

It's just that three hundred strings is not a small amount, she really doesn't have any now.

During the Chinese New Year, all the money earned by the royal firm was handed over to Li Shimin.

It's just the beginning of the new year, and it's time to spend money, and there is not so much money for a while.

"No, we don't need 120 guan, we just need [-] guan."

Chang Sun Chong counted a little, and they were still short of 120 runs.

"120 rounds, you wait."

Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment, and asked people to go down and count how much money was left in the house.

Soon, news came back from the accountant that there were still 120 guan in the house.

Hearing this, Changsun Chong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"The money in the royal firm is not mine, remember to pay it back if you have borrowed it."

Du Miaoyan reminded.

Essentially, he was just doing things for the emperor.

"Don't worry, we understand."

Chang Sun Chong and the others looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

They knew that the Royal Firm was managed by Du Miaoyan.

And even if it was Du Miaoyan's money, they would pay it back.

"Sister, since it's not your money, doesn't it count as interest?"

Du He whispered beside him.

"Du He, are you still human?"

"Our brotherhood of more than ten years was wasted!"

Qin Huaiyu stood up angrily and wanted to walk towards Du He.

"Oh, stop, do you still want to ask my sister for a loan?"

"Just now you said that we are not brothers, are we brothers now?"

Du He said calmly.

He was sitting next to Du Miaoyan, not panicking at all.

"You, you bastard!"

Qin Huaiyu could only sit down angrily.

When I catch up with your sister, I will let you know when my brother-in-law loves you.

"Okay, don't make trouble."

"Bring your money, let's go find Fang Yuan."

Du Miaoyan got up and said.

Said, walked outside.

"Miaoyan, don't you bring any money?"

Chang Sun Chong followed and asked worriedly.

"Just take it with you."

"I have to reconcile the tea bill with Fang Yuan every six months, just tell him to pay when the time comes."

Du Miaoyan said while walking.

Just now she thought that Changsun Chong and others wanted to borrow three hundred guan, so she said that the accountant had no money, and she didn't say when to pay it back, because [-] guan was not a small amount, she couldn't transfer it all to her head, Fang Yuan didn't Good to intercede.

But after the sharp drop to 120 guan, Du Miaoyan felt that it didn't matter, Fang Yuan must have nothing to say, he would give himself this face.

"A bill for tea?"

"Tea can't be invented by Fang Yuan, can it?"

Zhang Sun Chong suddenly exclaimed.

It is well known that the tea was sold by the royal trading houses.

But there are also some high-level executives who know some inside information and know that the Royal Firm is cooperating with others.

Changsun Chong and others are the sons of the Duke of the State, and they know some things that others don't, but they don't know much.

I only know that the two base camps of tea are in Liaozhou and Chang'an City, now that I heard that I have to settle accounts with Fang Yuan for tea, Chang Sun Chong immediately wondered if Fang Yuan invented tea?

"Yes."

"Actually, fine salt was also invented by him."

Du Miaoyan said calmly.

She felt that it was necessary to tell several people how good Fang Yuan was.

The man she Du Miaoyan chose could not be a man who does nothing repeatedly.

"what?!"

Chang Sun Chong was shocked.

Qin Huaiyu was shocked.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were also shocked.

Several people were shocked and froze in place, their faces full of disbelief.

In the past, tea was unpalatable and no one drank it, but now tea has become a must-have item for entertaining guests in every dignitary's home.

It is said that Du Xiang's health is slightly better because of drinking tea, which makes people crave for tea even more, and drinks some almost every day.

Sales are not the usual horror.

And fine salt.

It has just been launched for a few months, and it has completely replaced the previous coarse salt and salt bar, etc.

Its sales volume is also very scary, it's all money, it's all money that can't be counted!

Either of these two things can make a person rich, but Fang Yuan actually has two, is it too scary?
"Actually, Fang Yuan still has a lot of weird inventions, but it seems that he was too busy, so he didn't implement them all the time."

Du Miaoyan stopped, looked back and said to the others.

Seeing the shocked looks of several people, she smiled smugly.

"It's kind of scary."

Changsun Chong and the others looked at each other, feeling Fang Yuan's terror for the first time.

He thought he was a little assassin, but he didn't expect that he was rich, rich and powerful.

"Let's go."

Du Miaoyan smiled slightly, turned to look for Fang Yuan.

As soon as Fang Yuan returned to the Governor's Mansion, he received a letter from the Yellow River, which was sent by Liao Fengmao.

During the few months when Liao Fengmao left, he would send a letter back every month, telling Fang Yuan the situation there, and reporting his safety and so on.

If it's an important matter, Fang Yuan will go back in person, if it's a routine, Fang Yuan will ask Hong Xu, Qing Qiang and others to go back.

But the letters were all sent to Fang's Mansion, and it was the first time they were sent to the Governor's Mansion, which made Fang Yuan feel something was wrong.

Sure enough, as Fang Yuan thought, what Liao Fengmao said in the letter is really not a good thing.

[The treatment of the Yellow River dam is very smooth, but the materials used are very low-quality. 】

[Some people embezzled the disaster relief money from the imperial court, and even wanted to break the dam and harm the people on both sides of the strait. 】

As for who it is, there is no record in the letter, and it is estimated that Liao Fengmao does not know who is embezzling and trying to harm the people on both sides of the strait.

After reading the letter, Fang Yuan couldn't be calm for a long time.

Since ancient times, there will never be a shortage of people who make money from disasters.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the strait can be ignored.

If the dam of the Yellow River breaks, it will really harm hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the bank, and he may also be implicated.

It's really hateful, it's really a beast!
"Zhou Zhou, Ms. Du asked to see her, and with her came the young masters who caused trouble at the Guest House, and they said they wanted to pay you back."

The gatekeeper state officials came to report.

"please come in."

Fang Yuan withdrew his emotions and said calmly.

Soon, Du Miaoyan and her eldest grandson rushed in, and some servants came in carrying several boxes of money.

"Fang Yuan, we grew up together, it's not easy for me to refuse their affairs."

Du Miaoyan apologized.

Tell the general situation.

She has the privilege to enter and exit the Governor's Mansion at will.

But she didn't do it today, she wanted to see Fang Yuan's attitude first.

If Fang Yuan doesn't agree with her helping to pay back the money, she can just leave.

Even if it doesn't make Fang Yuan disgusted, Chang Sun Chong and others who don't know the situation will not blame her.

"It's okay, sit here."

Fang Yuan nodded, and invited them to sit at the coffee table.

"No need, just give us the contract."

Chang Sun Chong did not move.

Because he felt no need to stay.

Losing is already embarrassing, and sitting down to drink tea is even more embarrassing.

Several people saw that he didn't move, and they didn't really want to sit down with Fang Yuan and drink tea.

"The money is given, but what about Qin Huaiyu's three-year agreement?"

Fang Yuan sat down, hehe laughed.

Several people's faces changed, and finally Qin Huaiyu walked over and sat down first.

Seeing that Qin Huaiyu had already sat down, Changsun Chong and the others had no choice but to follow and sit down.

"Fang Yuan, how can you give the contract back to us?"

"You know, I'm the son of the Duke, and it's impossible for me to be someone else's younger brother."

Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.

He is the son of the Duke, and will inherit the position of Duke in the future.

As the future Duke, how could he be someone else's younger brother?
"This is your business, what has it to do with me?"

"When the contract is announced, you are the one who will lose face."

"Even if it makes the Duke unable to inherit, it's your business."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Explain the disadvantages to Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu and the others were shocked immediately, and their expressions changed drastically.

This is actually what they are worried about.

As the Duke of the state, but personally as the younger brother.

In any case, it is a matter of embarrassment to the court.

Duke Yi has only one son, Qin Huaiyu, who can only be passed on to Qin Huaiyu.

But the imperial court is not sure, it may consider various issues, and eventually downgrade or something.

"Fang Yuan, is it really going to be so stiff?!"

Qin Huaiyu stared at Fang Yuan angrily.

His fists were clenched subconsciously, and his face was very ugly.

Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also had ugly faces.

Being held hostage by Fang Yuan like this made them very angry and ashamed, wanting to do extreme things.

It was the first time for Du He to see Qin Huaiyu showing such a terrifying expression, and he immediately looked to the other side.

"That, Fang Yuan, do you want to change the conditions?"

Du Miaoyan sighed in her heart and begged for mercy.

After all, they grew up since they were young, and they don't want them to have such an argument with Fang Yuan.

"Since Miaoyan pleads for mercy, then I'll change the conditions."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, and said slowly.

Du Miaoyan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

"you say!"

Qin Huaiyu heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Du Miaoyan gratefully.

The same was true for Chang Sun Chong and the others, who remembered Du Miaoyan's kindness in their hearts.

"Do you know that I invented tea and fine salt?"

Fang Yuan already had an idea in his mind, said in a deep voice.

"know."

Qin Huaiyu hummed.

Thought Fang Yuan was going to brag to them.

"It's good to know."

"I not only have fine salt and tea leaves, but also cement, honeycomb coal, etc., but I am very short of partners."

"You are all the sons of the Duke, if you are willing to help me sell the products, you will get [-]% for all the products sold."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

"What, what?"

Qin Huaiyu and the others were stunned.

The condition for the replacement is to ask them to help sell things?

This is a proper gift!

Although Qin Huaiyu and others claim to be the son of the Duke of the country.

But with the Royal Trading Company here, they couldn't believe that Fang Yuan would choose to help sell products.

"Don't want to?!"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

If you don't want to, isn't your plan difficult to implement?

"No, no, I am very willing!"

Qin Huaiyu quickly answered.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also nodded repeatedly.

They don't know how much money tea leaves and fine salt make, but they must be very profitable.

Since Fang Yuan mentioned cement and briquette together with them, it must be extremely profitable.

One person, one ten percent, how much profit would that be?

"Fang Yuan, no, brother-in-law, I am willing too."

Du He interjected from the side.

Such a good condition, he is willing to a hundred thousand.

As soon as the word "brother-in-law" came out, the expressions of everyone at the scene changed.

Du Miaoyan blushed, shyly holding the teacup with both hands, drinking tea with her head down.

Qin Huaiyu and the others were dissatisfied, but for the sake of money, they chose not to speak.

"Then count you in, each of you will get [-]%, a total of [-]%."

"But you need to go through an assessment, and you can formally cooperate after passing it. The contract can also be exchanged for you."

Fang Yuan coughed dryly, slightly embarrassed.

The relationship between him and Du Miaoyan has not reached that point yet.

Last time Du Miaoyan said that she liked her, but Fang Yuan didn't accept it, and didn't know how to accept it.

So the relationship between the two is better than friends, but not to the point of lovers.

"What test?"

Qin Huaiyu said cautiously.

But I am also looking forward to it.

It's just an assessment, no matter how difficult it is, it's better than getting the contract back.

"Help me escort a batch of cement to repair the Yellow River dam, and listen to Liao Fengmao's arrangement by the way to find out one or two things."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

After reading Liao Fengmao's letter, Fang Yuan thought about how to kill those animals.

It happened that Du Miaoyan came with Qin Huaiyu and others, and thinking about their identities, Fang Yuan had a plan in his mind.

"It's that simple?"

Qin Huaiyu was not confident anymore.

Changsun Chong and the others also looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

The assessment was so simple that they couldn't believe it.

Even Du Miaoyan was also surprised, thinking that Fang Yuan might be afraid of the identities of Changsun Chong and the others, right?
