Drunk Qingqiu

Su Fan was taken aback, he was a businessman after all, he knew that the next step would be drama.He glanced left and right, and nodded to the boy at the door.

The young man immediately greeted a few people, and swiftly cleared away the cold tea on the table.Then put four small dishes of dried fruit and four plates of pastry snacks. The blue and white dishes were filled with crispy fried cashew nuts, tiger skin peanuts, lentils, and hazelnuts;Another maid put out a jug of lychee wine and two white jade cups.

Even the sounds of warblers and swallows in the left and right rooms seemed to disappear in an instant, replaced by Guzheng tunes like mountains and flowing water.

Yinzhen watched the change silently, raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Fan with inquiry in his eyes.This Su Fan is probably the owner of the Chenxiang Pavilion, whether he lured him here on purpose or not.Yinzhen also became wary of this handsome and gentle scholar.

Su Fan waved everyone in the room to go down, and Gao Wen Gaowu He Yuzhu also stood outside the door under Yinzhen's gesture.

Su Fan asked with a smile: "What does Jiu Ye mean by this? Isn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs' bidding for the Russian imperial merchant already finished, can it be changed in private? Please forgive the villain for being stupid, please make it clear to Jiu Ye. "Su Fan had a smile on his face, and there was something in his words, and every sentence was provoking Yinzhen's reasoning.

Su Fan's identity was nothing more than a businessman.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the word Shang is at the end, which shows the status of merchants in the Qing Dynasty.Today, the reason why he dared to point it out like this is because firstly, he has a backer behind him; secondly, although the prince elder brother is high above the others, Yinzhen is the first elder brother who started business. There is no shelf.

After hearing what he said, Yinzhen was not angry, and shook her head, "You misunderstood, I am not here to invite you to bid for the imperial merchants who trade with Russia, but to take over the construction of shops and warehouses."

Su Fan put down his wine glass, put away his smile, and asked slowly, "Master Jiu, how do you plan to take over this project?"

"In three years, you will be responsible for taking out the shops and warehouses, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will give you 3000 taels of silver every year." Yinzhen said.

After speaking, he looked at the snacks on the table and lowered his head to drink.

After hearing what he said, the corners of Su Fan's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

"Jiuye, I heard that you are the God of Wealth. Now it seems that it is true. This calculation is really only in and out. I dare not say how much tax you collect, but you have hundreds of shops every year. 3000 taels of silver? Even the rent is too little."

Yinzhen looked at Su Fan who was laughing on the opposite side and didn't respond, so he reached out and picked up a peanut and ate it.

"Jiuye, aren't you playing around?" Su Fan looked at the steady young man opposite, and suddenly felt restless.This is something he has never done in business for so many years, as if those experiences and methods have lost their effect in front of this young man.He didn't say anything, but he seemed to have lost.

Only then did Yinzhen raise his eyes, and sneered: "Mr. Su, even if you have the heart, you have to see if I have the time to play tricks on you." The implication is that you are not worth my trouble, and Su Fan choked when he heard that over there.

He even began to wonder why he came to see Brother Jiu, just to see the joke about Brother Jiu being pestered and molested in the brothel Chu Pavilion? !Isn't it worth losing so much money?Besides, I have already said hello to Eros, and my side will defect first, what is this called?

Su Fan tapped his face noncommittally, and said impatiently: "Master Jiu, this is obviously a loss-making business, I really can't accept it."

Yinzhen put down the white jade cup, raised the corners of his eyes, with regret on his face: "Mr. Su, I think you understand, so I came here to tell you these things."

After a pause, Su Fan looked over suspiciously, and said, "It's not a profitable business, so I won't come to you."

"I really don't understand, Lord Nine made it clear." Su Fan was puzzled, what kind of plan this elder brother Nine was planning.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs paid so little money to expropriate your shop. It is because I think about you. Mr. Su holds the shop in his hands, but it is also for the right to trade with Eros or Mongolia. How can the Ministry of Internal Affairs not make some corresponding compensation if the library provides these stores?"

Amidst the ding-ding-dong-dong sound of the guzheng, Yinzhen's soothing tune was exceptionally pleasant.

"At that time, I will give you some privileges, and others will not be able to say anything. The Ministry of Internal Affairs asked you to prepare dozens or hundreds of shops. I think Mr. can always prepare a few more."

Su Fan looked at the young man across from him. He didn't have the overbearing aura of a nobleman like Tian Huang, but his exquisite facial features and bright black and bright red phoenix eyes made Su Fan unable to move his eyes away.

What's more, his words are so sweet, Xu Yi privilege...

But what privilege?Su Fan was startled. It seemed that he was about to give up after making up his mind not to be fooled just now?He hurriedly collected his thoughts, put together all kinds of energy, and asked with a smile: "What about this privilege? If I really take out the shop, what can I get?"

Yinzhen squinted her eyes, and sighed: "If you let me explain clearly, sir, it will be meaningless. When you leave the shop, I will tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that you are allowed to do business here. No matter how much you complain, there's nothing you can do about it, they can't help you. You prepared the shop, so can't you prepare a few more shops for yourself?"

The smile on Su Fan's face became more and more obvious, and the cup in his hand was put aside, and he asked in detail, "Master Jiu is serious? We Ji Shengtang can do business here without bidding? Tickets for entrance and exit Woolen cloth."

"That's not a matter of my words. You can send someone to the House of Internal Affairs to pick it up." Yinzhen smiled, and it seemed that the matter was done.

Su Fan rolled his eyes, yes, the House of Internal Affairs is just the emperor's internal treasury, he is the prince's elder brother, no matter what the people in the House of Internal Affairs are their family's slaves, how could Brother Nine's promise be inaccurate.

Now that I can get the right to trade, Brother Jiu also has a shop, a win-win thing, why not do it...

Su Fan calmed down, remembered something again, and asked. "Master Jiu, there is still one thing I don't know about the villain. Since Master Jiu didn't target me, why did I take people back to participate in the bidding and was stopped when I entered the entrance? But you said it was your intention to replace us. A group of old people."

Yinzhen frowned, did someone pick something from the middle?

"I'm far away in the capital, and what's more, I'm in charge of the internal treasury. If the affairs of the six ministries are not under my control, how can I reach out so far to manage the affairs of the Tongzhi Yamen or the Tongzhi?" This is really interesting, it seems The selection of the new imperial merchant blocked many people's money, Yinzhen's mouth slowly curled up thinking of this.

Su Fan is not an idiot. Hearing Yinzhen's words, he suddenly understood. He got up with a smile and poured wine for Yinzhen: "It seems to be a misunderstanding, Master Jiu, I'm toasting you. I'll leave this on my shoulders."

"Although I have given you privileges, tax money cannot be missed."

"That is."

Seeing Yinzhen leaving the Chenxiang Pavilion, Su Fan couldn't help but think again: This boy who looks like a baby didn't seem to have produced anything, he just settled the matter of the shop, and made himself willingly pay for the money...

It's really a fox-like Ninth Brother, Su Fan looked at the emerald jade bean cake that Yinzhen had been staring at but didn't bother to take, and laughed.
