The Golden County Magistrate

"Three days, five hundred thousand!"

Chen Yan emphasized his tone and repeated it.

Tang Yun couldn't believe it and said, "Five hundred thousand taels in three days? How is it possible!"

Chen Yan thought for a while and said, "This is not quite right. After all, the silver you earn should be shared with me. So it should be considered that you earn 250,000 taels."

Tang Yun was suspicious. If it was before, she would never believe it, but after the 200,000 taels incident this time, she still believed his words a little.

If you can really earn so much, let alone give him half, even if you give him more, it will be fine!

She calmed down and asked, "What else do you have to do? Tell me!"

Chen Yan smiled mysteriously, "You don't have to do anything this time, just sit and collect the money."

Tang Yun really wanted to beat him up.

This guy kept everything secret and kept her waiting.

But judging from his meaning, it was obvious that he was not allowed to elaborate.

She had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and changed the topic: "During the banquet, Prince Ning suddenly broke in. Did Lord Chen know about this?"

Chen Yan rolled his eyes: "How dare you mention this? If I hadn't prepared this trick, the joining would have been ruined by your people!"

Tang Yun opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't speak.

It was really him!

She discussed with He Jinyao for a long time last night, and always felt that Prince Ning's matter didn't seem like a coincidence.

But if it wasn't a coincidence, and it wasn't done by her and He Jinyao, then the most likely person was Chen Yan.

That's why she asked this question.

She also knew that, as Chen Yan said, if it wasn't for Prince Ning's trick, the consequences would be unpredictable!

"Give it to me."

Tang Yun was about to ask him how he did it, but Chen Yan stretched out his hand.

"What?"

Tang Yun was stunned.

"Franchise money! We agreed to split the money 50-50. Where is my 100,000 taels of silver? You must have brought no cash, but at least you brought silver notes, right?" Chen Yan urged with shining eyes.

"This..."

Tang Yun was speechless for a moment.

She had already distributed the silver notes to Jizhou and started disaster relief work. How could she give him the silver notes?

"Wait, you don't want to use it yourself, do you?"

Chen Yan saw her reaction and couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Why worry? Anyway, you also said that there will be another 500,000 taels in three days. At most, I can allocate 100,000 taels from the silver to you."

Tang Yun said with a guilty conscience.

Chen Yan knew that he was absolutely right when he saw her posture.

Mostly, in order to ease the business of the Chamber of Commerce in Jizhou, she was in a hurry to use up all the silver notes first!

But he was not afraid that she would default on her debt. In the cooperative relationship between the two parties, he took the absolute initiative.

If she dares to break the contract and refuse to pay, she will be the only one who will suffer in the future!

However, he cannot be too generous, otherwise if the other party thinks he is easy to bully, he may be even more excessive next time.

Therefore, Chen Yan's face sank and he frowned and said, "You are too greedy. You spent my money without asking a question?"

Tang Yun knew that he was in the wrong, so he had to say, "It was urgent. I was wrong."

Apologizing and making amends will not hurt his body. Anyway, the money has been spent. He can't get it back.

Chen Yan said with a straight face, "Is it useful to just apologize?"

Tang Yun gritted his teeth and said, "At most, I will give you an extra 10,000 taels of the 500,000 taels next time."

Chen Yan's face instantly turned from gloomy to bright: "Miss Zhou is really straightforward, haha! That's it!"

Isn't this equivalent to earning 10,000 taels of interest on 100,000 taels of silver in three days? Even usury doesn't have such a high interest!

Tang Yun didn't want to dwell on small profits and gains with him, so she changed the subject: "I came here for another thing. The ice business we agreed on before is done!"

Chen Yan said happily: "Have you opened up the way to the saltpeter mine?"

Tang Yun has learned a lot about the saltpeter mine in Yongzhou these days. It would be a waste to leave it there, so it's better to do Chen Yan a favor.

Of course, this favor can't be sold too easily.

"I have obtained the mining rights of that mining area through the relationship within the clan."

"We can sign a formal agreement. From now on, our chamber of commerce can sell saltpeter mines to Mr. Chen in a certain amount."

"The proceeds will be used to pay for the ice."

Tang Yun finished calmly and put the relevant documents he brought on the table to prove that he was not lying.

Chen Yan was stunned: "Wait, didn't you give me the mining rights? Why did Miss Zhou take it in her own hands?"

Tang Yun's eyes flashed with a cunning look.

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that it's government-owned and has too many restrictions."

"They said that if my Zhou Chamber of Commerce wants to operate it, it's fine."

"But if you want to sell it to someone else, it's not fine."

"But isn't it the same now? I'll dig it out and sell it to you at the market price."

"You save the cost of digging, isn't it easier?""No matter how much you want, I will satisfy you as much as I can."

Chen Yan looked at her with a dark face.

Does this girl think he is stupid?

Can he not see it? She clearly wants to control the saltpeter mine, so that she can use it to negotiate terms with him in the future if she needs it!

I have to say that she does have some brains.

Looking at this, even if he insists, I'm afraid she won't agree.

He thought about it and nodded: "Okay, but you are not allowed to sell it to others."

Tang Yun didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, and hurriedly said: "No problem! How about we finalize the ice business agreement today?"

Chen Yan had no problem, so he took out the agreement and signed the relevant agreements with her one by one.

Both parties have cooperated on several businesses, so they are familiar with each other and signed the contract quickly.

After finishing, Tang Yun stretched out and said, "Where's your wife?"

Chen Yan said casually, "She went to take a hot spring bath. After I finish this, I will also..."

Before she finished "I will also take a bath", Tang Yun's eyes lit up and said happily, "Great! I will go find her!" She ignored Chen Yan and turned to go out.

She had been there last time and knew where it was.

Chen Yan stared at her background blankly, and suddenly his face changed.

Damn!

She went to the artificial hot spring, so why would he take a bath? He couldn't take a bath in front of her, right?

Although the picture was quite erotic...

He calmed down, shook off the inappropriate pictures in his mind, and put away the documents he had just signed.

Just as he was thinking about whether to go to the sulfur mine to see the progress, Zhang Dabiao rushed in.

"Sir! There is news about Captain Zheng!"

Chen Yan was very excited and asked hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, where is she!"

That day he asked Zheng Yan to look for the guy who was most likely the rebel king Tang Shuo. Logically speaking, she should have come back no matter whether she found him or not.

But there was no news.

Chen Yan gradually felt uneasy in the past two days, which was not in line with her usual style of being resolute and efficient.

So he asked Zhang Dabiao to mobilize people to look for her whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, after three days of searching, there was no trace of her!

Zheng Yan is very skilled and will not be inferior to Zhang Dabiao.

But there is one thing, after all, some aspects are too big, and I am afraid it will affect the brain...

If someone tricks her and something happens, it will be troublesome!

If there is no news about Zhang Dabiao again, he is ready to issue a missing person notice.
