The Golden County Magistrate

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yun and He Jinyao were both stunned.

Then, Tang Yun turned around suddenly and said in disbelief: "How many households did you say?"

Zhou Yang said carefully: "Forty households, a total of 200,000 taels of silver in joining money, have all been received!"

Tang Yun was shocked and said: "How could it be so sudden?"

Zhou Yang hurriedly said: "Thanks to the Shangshu Lord for his wisdom, he invited His Royal Highness Prince Ning to help."

Then, he told the previous events in detail.

On the way back, he thought about it and thought that this matter did not seem to be a coincidence, so he guessed that He Jinyao had already expected those guests to hesitate, so he arranged this move.

After listening, Tang Yun suddenly realized: "So that's it! He Aiqing, it seems that I really underestimated you. This move is very clever, really clever!"

He Jinyao said at a loss: "Although I want to thank your majesty for your praise, I really don't know about this matter!"

Hearing this, Tang Yun and Zhou Yang were both stunned.

"If it's not you, then who could it be? Is it really a coincidence?"

Zhou Yang said subconsciously.

The next morning, Chen Yan was taking care of his beloved baby in the vegetable garden while listening to a person next to him explaining what happened last night.

Chen Yan frowned halfway through.

"Old Zhou's selection of people is not very reliable. He can't grasp the key points of my instructions at all."

"This Zhou Yang is really used to being a servant!"

"You must be noble, daunting, and begging to join."

"He looks like he is begging people to join. How can that work?"

Hearing his muttering, the person next to him hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is really a genius! As you said, almost everyone hesitated and didn't join at that time. Fortunately, the backup plan arranged by your Excellency was very useful!"

This person is called Lin Guang, and he is a subordinate arranged by Chen Yan in the capital.

First, because he has an official position, he cannot leave without permission.

Secondly, and more importantly, he didn't want to leave Qingshan County at all.

After all, the Great Zhou was too backward, and the livable environment was not very good.

And he spent several years to build Qingshan County into a place where people could live comfortably. How could he bear to leave here and go out to suffer?

So he basically let his trusted subordinates do the external affairs.

Lin Guang was in charge of the Beijing area.

During this period, the cooperation with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce was secretly supervised by Lin Guang. In case of any unexpected help, Lin Guang could do it directly.

Anyway, in most cases, Chen Yan had a plan and could basically handle it.

If he really couldn't handle it, he would try to delay the time as much as possible without exposing his identity, and then send someone back to ask Chen Yan for a solution.

Naturally, the banquet last night was so important that Lin Guang was also secretly supervising it.

Hearing Lin Guang's flattery, Chen Yan was not modest: "Nonsense, of course it will be of great use, otherwise why would I arrange this trick?"

It was Chen Yan who arranged for Prince Ning to break into the banquet.

He was really a little worried about He Jinyao's ability, so just in case, he asked Lin Guang to arrange people in advance and revealed the news to the gatekeeper of Prince Ning's mansion before the banquet started.

The gatekeeper knew that his prince was obsessed with Yaochi Xianniang, so how could he miss such a good opportunity to make merit? He quickly reported the news.

Prince Ning was furious because he couldn't buy Yaochi Xianniang recently.

When he heard about this, he couldn't help it and immediately rushed to Shangyuanchun and broke into the banquet.

From beginning to end, he didn't know that he was used by Chen Yan and brought back the goods for nothing.

With his booster, he finally facilitated the joining of major merchants.

Chen Yan didn't come up with the idea of ​​joining at the last minute.

How to make more money, this world-wide problem is the problem that Chen Yan thinks about the most after he came to this world.

The most fundamental point is to get all potential customers.

In his previous world, this was simple.

The customer base that physical stores can reach is always limited, but through the Internet, they can distribute goods on a large scale across the country, so that all customers who want to buy this thing can buy it from a distance.

But in Da Zhou, there is only one way - open more stores.

Yao Chi Xian Niang targets high-end groups. There are such people in every city of Da Zhou's dozens of big cities.

Zhou's Chamber of Commerce has limited stores. Now it has only opened a store in Beijing. At most, it can take over customers in Beijing. It is difficult to open up customer markets in other places.

If you want to open a store in every city and open a chain, it will be time-consuming. Secondly, Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is in such a predicament that it may not be able to take out so much manpower and financial resources to do it.

Therefore, if you want to get back the funds as soon as possible in a short period of time, the best way is to join.

So after following the trend, he made a prompt decision to close the shop and prepare for the franchise.

The meat market was also initially opened, killing two birds with one stone.

Now it seems that everything is as he expected.

Just as he was thinking, the voice of the yamen runner suddenly came from outside: "The owner of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is here to pay a visit to you, sir!"

Chen Yan patted Lin Guang on the shoulder and said, "You came just in time. I was just going to give her a good beating. You go through the back door and don't let her see you."

Lin Guang bowed respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

In the reception room in the backyard, Tang Yun paced back and forth excitedly and couldn't sit still at all.

In fact, from last night to now, she has been so excited that she can't sleep.

The success of the franchise has allowed Jizhou's first batch of disaster relief silver to be collected within one day, which greatly encouraged her.

Hearing Chen Yan's footsteps, Tang Yun turned to look at him and smiled: "Chen Yan, Chen Yan, I lost!"

Chen Yan was surprised and said: "You are so happy after losing?"

Tang Yun's eyebrows were full of joy, and she said sincerely: "And it may be the happiest time of my life! Do you know how much this matter has helped the world?"

Chen Yan was stunned: "The world?"

Tang Yun was shocked to realize that she had said something wrong in her excitement, and hurriedly covered it up: "My Zhou Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the business of rice and grain in Jizhou. With this 200,000 taels of silver, it can temporarily solve the dilemma. Isn't it equivalent to helping the people of Jizhou?"

Chen Yan thought to himself that you are quite good at flattering yourself, doing business to make money from others, making yourself look like a philanthropist.

But of course he wouldn't say it out loud, his face darkened, and he said: "But I regret a little bit, handing this business to you!"

Tang Yun was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Chen Yan said with a straight face: "I have repeatedly emphasized the key points, but the shopkeeper in charge of you actually forgot all of them! I said that you should have a high and mighty feeling, so that those merchants will come to beg to join. What's the result?"

Tang Yun was a little embarrassed, and said: "This matter is indeed the fault of my subordinates. I will scold him later."

Chen Yan's expression eased a little: "Forget it, learn a lesson from your mistakes, and let him be more vigilant in the future."

Tang Yun was in a good mood, agreed, and then said: "Until now I am really convinced, I didn't expect that I could really make 200,000 taels in one day!"

Chen Yan laughed and said: "You are so happy with 200,000 taels, then if I tell you that you can make 500,000 taels or even more in three days, wouldn't you be so happy that you will cry?"

Tang Yun was stunned, and then her body shook violently, looking at Chen Yan in disbelief: "What?"
