Lin Ziqing is very short of money now, a lot of money.

When the young man of the Lin Mansion came back from wandering around outside, when he stepped into the study of the Lin Mansion, the master of the Lin Mansion was drinking his tea leisurely in his room. The green tea leaves, the yellow-green tea stems swirling with the ripples in the cup, braving the slowly rising heat... Lin Ziqing was instructing some imperial court documents sent by the Hanlin Academy above.

The young man stepped into the Lin mansion with extremely hasty steps, and when he stepped into the study, his steps paused again, as if he wanted to slow down his slightly short breathing, so he slowed down his steps, and then After adjusting his breathing for a while, he knocked on the door of the study a few times with his fingers, and then he heard a clear man's voice slowly saying, "—Come in."

The young man pushed the door carefully and lightly into the study, and said, "Master."

The man who was at the desk in the study looked up at the boy, and after a while, he slowly stretched out his hand and began to rub his forehead on one side, frowning slightly, and said, "What's the matter?"

The boy thought for a moment, and said, "Master, the family has recently..."

——Recently, the family has accumulated many bosses of well-known large commercial firms in Chang'an to hand over the name cards of this year's No. [-] Scholar.

Lin Ziqing closed the official document in front of him with a flick of his hand, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "How many days have they been waiting at the mansion?"

The boy said, "It's been three days."

The light-white and slender index finger tapped the corner of the table in front of him slowly a few times, Lin Ziqing's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Has the porridge stall outside Shilipo already been set up?"

The young man quietly raised his eyes as if he wanted to take a look at the man in front of him, considered the words in his mouth, and then said very slowly, "The porridge stall outside the ten-mile slope has been set up, and it has been in recent days." The weather has never changed, and the thatched house that was arranged half a month ago is still usable. It's just..."

Lin Ziqing eased his eyebrows, and said, "But are you short of money?"

The boy then gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I still... lack a lot of money."

After hearing this, Lin Ziqing's expression was not as sad as the boy had expected, Lin Ziqing's expression looked extremely relaxed, and he even took a sip of the hot tea in his cup before getting up.

Lin Ziqing said, "Go see the guests."

Although Lin Ziqing didn't have a lot of money in his hands, there was always someone who had the money and was willing to offer it to him, so he was naturally not in a hurry.

Half a month ago, Lin Ziqing took over the power of promulgating the sea order by himself, which was a lucrative business in the first place.It is no longer a matter of a day or two for the bosses of commercial firms in various places to struggle with the sea ban. Staring at this sea order is like staring at a piece of fat that everyone wants to bite. Greasy green light.The significance of the sea order to commercial firms in various places is self-evident. Not only can the hugely profitable maritime trade business that was previously done secretly be revealed to the public, but the sea voyage has also been greatly shortened by almost half. How can a large amount of oil and water not be tempting?

Going out to trade under the ban on the sea is a major event that may lose your head if you are not careful. Now the ban on the sea has not been completely lifted. The sea order is the only way for merchant ships to go to sea in a fair manner. Of course, there is more than one sea order. However, there are also some royal relatives or high-ranking officials in the government who have their own private firms, and the rich water does not flow to outsiders. Most of the sea orders have been handed down, and for these big firms in wild ways, The only hope now is Lin Hanlin, the new champion of this time.

The potbellied boss of Wanli Trading Company was talking to Lin Ziqing with an apologetic smile on his face. The boss of Wanli Trading Company had a big belly and was a little fat. When he smiled, he looked kind and generous. The boss of Wanli Trading Company represented Wanli Commercial firms, Qingda Commercial Firms, and Jinli Commercial Firms are mainly private commercial firms in Chang'an... They are negotiating with Lin Hanlin, the current champion of the new department. They felt that they couldn't get one of the Xing Hai Ling, but...it doesn't matter, it is expected that several companies will be able to get one if they unite together.

——There is no official in the world who does not love money.

The boss of Wanli Commercial Bank has always dealt with officials in many ways. There is no official in this world who is not greedy for money. Boss Wang Liwang has always believed in this truth. At least as far as he is concerned, he has never met any of them. .

Most of the people in the officialdom value scholars and despise businessmen.

Wang Li never thought that he would be interviewed so soon.Scholars are so noble, and most of them don't think highly of business people. When dealing with officials, Boss Wang generally needs to lower his posture and smile a little bit to be able to negotiate a deal.

Boss Wang had already thought that he would be shut down a few times. The previous invitations to visit him were always withdrawn again and again. Now that he came to the door in person, Lin Hanlin accepted it so readily. Boss Wang was heartbroken. Dao, although this Lin Hanlin is the new champion of the first year, he is not a difficult person for a businessman to get along with, but he feels a little bit at ease in his heart.

Now that I have met the person, it is easy to talk about what happens next.

While Boss Wang was saying extremely flattering words, he stretched out his right hand to the table and showed two fingers.

— 20.

Lin Ziqing slowly held the cup full of hot tea in his hand, brought it to his lips, lifted half of the lid of the cup, and took another sip.

not enough?

Boss Wang saw Lin Ziqing's calm expression, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Lin Hanlin has already achieved the number one scholar at a young age, and he is an extremely personable minister. He must be deeply favored by the sage. .” The right hand stretched out on the table quickly extended the third finger.

— 30.

Lin Ziqing put down the cup in his hand, seemed to ponder for a moment, and said, "Boss Wang is too famous, and Zi'an is just a small minister under the sage Long En." There is a "six" in front of me.

Boss Wang seemed to be struggling to wipe some cold sweat from his forehead. He seemed a little nervous. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out five fingers. some sweat stains,

— 50.

That was the last bottom line that several of their firms could take.

Lin Ziqing raised his head and looked at Boss Wang for a while. After a while, he finally let go of his clenched right hand in front of the table, waved off his sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "Deal."

The rumors are really not credible.Boss Wang thought in his heart that the rumored high-ranking and arrogant No. [-] scholar was nothing more than a cannibal official in the end, and the only one who could be regarded as somewhat different,

——This new champion is much more greedy than ordinary officials.

……

Wang Li can also be regarded as a trustworthy person. The next day, he sent someone to present a bank note of 50 taels in exchange for a shipping order. Not bad.

However, after Lin Ziqing turned around, the huge sum of greedy money was thrown into the bottomless pit of Shilipo disaster relief.

Lin Ziqing sat on the most comfortable chair in the study room, rubbed his forehead with the index finger of his right hand, and was served by a servant from the mansion who lowered his head very low, "Buy more A few carts of grain, then I will take my official order and go to the rice shop in Chang'an for a walk, if anyone intentionally drives up the price of rice, they will be sent to the prison in the government office for a few days before being released."

After all, he threw his official seal to the boy in a daze that seemed inconceivable to the boy. Generally, officials with certain positions in the court can go to the Ministry of War to ask for some officers and soldiers when necessary. As long as the number is less than a hundred, most of them are allowed. Although there are only a dozen officers and soldiers, it is enough to scare the bosses of a few rice shops.

However, the official seals of civilian officials are always with them, and it is rare for a master like Lin Ziqing to casually throw the official seals to his subordinates to handle affairs. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the only one.

The boy carefully held the official seal, and after a while, he came back to his senses and replied, "Yes, master."

Lin Ziqing thought for a moment, and then said, "Go to Chang'an City and invite a few more skilled doctors to stay at Shilipo and pay their outpatient fees so that they can go to see a doctor."

After a major disaster, the officials in charge of disaster relief are often not most worried about the resettlement of the victims. At most, they will send a few officials to the south to send the victims to work in various places. What I am afraid of is that after a major disaster, there may be a large-scale outbreak of the epidemic among the victims. The epidemic is often most likely to erupt some time after the disaster.

To plan ahead, it is always good to invite a few doctors to sit in town first.

……

The next day, Wang Li, the owner of Wanli Commercial Bank, handed over an invitation card and invited Lin Ziqing to have a meal at the most famous "Fengyue Building" in the area to express his gratitude, and Lin Ziqing accepted the invitation.

At the time of the day, Boss Wang set up a good banquet in Fengyue Building, and waited for Lin Ziqing and Lin Hanlin with the bosses of several other firms. As expected, Lin Hanlin was invited to come.

Lin Ziqing changed from his official robes to plain clothes, and stepped into the Fengyue Tower.

Fengyuelou is the most prestigious brothel in Chang'an City.Warm fragrance and warm jade, boundless wind and moon, it is the gentle hometown of men, and the tomb of heroes for many people.

When Boss Wang saw Lin Ziqing, he walked out from the door of the box with his arms folded and a smile, and said, "Luckily, the number one scholar has honored me and accepted my little noodles. Come to this building for a banquet. So that I can express my gratitude to Lin Hanlin, Mr. Wang."

The bosses of other commercial firms also got up and said compliments together, or "Long admiration. Long admiration." Generally flattering words, Lin Ziqing bowed his hands and returned the greetings one by one, and the etiquette on the surface was not revealed.

Under the coercion of several people, they crowded into the box.
