Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 46: Krypton Gold is Addictive

"What's the way to make money? Tell me about it." Yang Qian took a sip of wine and became interested.

As for money, who would complain about having too much?

What's more, compared to gaining experience by killing demons or bandits, spending money is actually another way.

Yang Qian could never forget the scene when he spent more than 200 gold coins in Liu's family. He became addicted after just one try!

Moreover, Li Mazi is quite smart. The wine shop he got Yang Qian to open last time has already tasted some sweetness. According to the current monthly income, it will be able to pay back the investment at the latest by this time next year. It is definitely a good business to make money.

However, it is still a long way to go if you want to make money from a small business like a wine shop, but a little bit of accumulation can add up to a lot. Yang Qian also wants to hear what ideas Li Mazi has this time, making it so mysterious.

"Has Master Yang ever gone to the grain store to buy icing sugar or rock sugar?"

Yang Qian shook his head and said, "The sugar jar in the grain store is always empty. I don't have the time to watch it all day long."

However, having said that, Yang Qian had some guesses about what Li Mazi was going to say next.

Is it something to do with icing sugar? Could it be homemade sugar?
As expected, Li Mazi lowered his voice and leaned closer to say, "Six years ago, when Song Qixun was not yet the garrison commander, the icing business in Sandao City and its surrounding areas was divided equally. The icing in the official shop was divided among the people, and people outside could not buy it.

And if people outside want to eat candy, they can only buy it privately. So this is a huge business!

Unfortunately, later on, the garrison commander was replaced, and Song Qixun took advantage of his power and kicked out all the government offices and Masheng Lane, and even legitimate merchants, and took over the business alone.

Without Masheng Lane as the leader, the government office could not extend its influence outside the city like the garrisons, so it could only watch Song Qixun enjoy the private candy business and make a lot of money.

Master Yang, how irritating is this?"

Yang Qian slurped the last mouthful of noodles, drank all the soup, picked up the wine bowl and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Hehe, Master Yang, you don't know that I followed Uncle Yu back then, and Uncle Yu was the one who ran the big candy business in Masheng Lane. So I also followed Uncle Yu around and did a lot of things.

I dare not say anything else, but I know all the ins and outs of private candy.

I know everything from the sugar mill to the transportation channels and warehousing. Even if I miss some details, I can find them out quickly.

You see, you are from the government office, and I am from Masheng Lane, so isn't this a perfect match? Wouldn't it be a waste if such a big business only benefited the garrison?

Master Yang, isn't that right?"

Yang Qian shook his head, thinking that Li Mazi was not honest.

"Li Mazi, if you could handle this matter by yourself, you wouldn't come to me. Since you have come to me, you have to speak honestly. Are you planning to trick me with such a half-knowledge? Or do you think I am stupid?
Or do you think you are capable enough now and start to reveal your inner thoughts? "

Li Mazi suddenly felt the chill on his face, and the bowl of noodles in his hand almost spilled out. He bowed and said, "Master Yang, please don't be anxious. This matter is not as simple as the wine shop. If you are not interested, I can't talk to you in depth.

Don't worry, I, Li Mazi, will not dare to hide anything when I come to see you. And if you are not interested in this matter, I will definitely give up the idea and will not mention it to anyone else. "

The two of them didn't eat the noodles. They left the noodle shop and walked on the deserted street in the night.

"Go ahead, tell me everything here, and I'll think about it." "Okay, Master Yang. The private candy business in Sandao City was originally led by Masheng Lane, and it was under Uncle Yu's stall. Whether it was the garrison or the government office at that time, or the big merchants and Masheng Lane, they all got a share of the profits."

The two walked slower and slower, and finally stopped in a secluded place on the side of the road.

After hearing what Li Mazi said, Yang Qian's mind raced.

First of all, it is undeniable that this is indeed a big business, and it can definitely support Yang Qian's idea of ​​spending money to gain experience.

But there are still many links involved, and the biggest one is the attitude of Cui Mingsheng, the head of the government office.

If Cui Mingsheng also wants to get involved in this business again, then it is possible to do so. Otherwise, Yang Qian will not be able to touch this business.

The second was the reaction of garrison general Song Qixun.

It would be strange if Song Qixun would sit back and do nothing after the Song family's financial resources were robbed. He would definitely respond fiercely. Yang Qian would not be afraid to take the lead at that time. It was normal to take some risks in order to make a lot of money. After all, he was just a captain of police now.
But there must be a government office to protect the Song family.

So the two questions can actually be seen as one.

"Do you want to make a splash like Uncle Yu did before? I thought you would get out of Masheng Lane after you got a share in the wine shop and live a stable life." Yang Qian suppressed his thoughts and asked Li Mazi, who looked at him with eager eyes.

Li Mazi didn't expect Yang Qian to say that suddenly. The smile on his face froze for a moment. After a long while, he replied awkwardly, "It's dangerous to get in and out of Masheng Alley. Even a big shot like Uncle Yu can't just retreat, let alone a small fry like me.

So instead of just soaking in the mud, it is better to struggle hard a few times. Maybe there will be another way out?

Master Yang, you said so, right?

Yang Qian had not thought of what Li Mazi said before, but he didn't say much about it. After all, it was his own choice of path, and he had no say in it.

"I don't mind making money too much. But whether this kind of money is clean or not depends on the higher-ups. What you and I say is useless. So, don't rush this matter. I will go to the higher-ups to test the waters first. Don't act rashly on your side. If I don't give you a definite answer, just pretend that this is nothing.

Understand? "

"Don't worry, Master Yang. I understand this. If I keep yelling and talking nonsense, it would be a huge loss if this matter is stolen by someone else."

"I'm glad you understand. Okay, I know what's going on. You can go back now."

"Then I will go back and wait for good news from Master Yang."

After Li Mazi left, Yang Qian went back home. It was not the yard he rented before, but the house he had just bought. He moved in the day before yesterday.

Yang Qian was alone now. He moved with his cheap father's rank, packed a few sets of clothes, and carried a box. He didn't even need a carriage, he just carried everything with his own hands.

The house had been cleaned thoroughly inside and out, and was very clean. The decoration was ordinary but solid, and one could tell at a glance that the workmanship was reliable and no corners were cut. The people Li Mazi had hired were pretty good.

After returning to the house and changing his clothes, Yang Qian went to the yard with a knife and began to complete today's practice.

But in his mind he kept thinking about the business that Li Mazi had mentioned before.

If this can be done, then spending money to gain experience is not something that can be easily found.
