Chapter 37: Butterfly Wings (3)
"I am the shopkeeper of the Fei family business. I am ordered by my head, Huangmen Minister, to greet Mr. Guan. I also brought a letter written by my head, and asked Mr. Guan to read it personally."
With so many people from homes coming to ask for a meeting, of course, Guan Yi could not meet at the same time. This is seriously inconsistent with the rules of this era. That is, Fuling County was poor for too long and it was basically impossible for someone to line up for meeting. In fact, in ancient China, especially before the imperial examination system was not standardized, many high-ranking officials and nobles had to set up pavilions at the doors to facilitate those who were waiting to meet to rest.
Guan Yi's so-called prefect's palace is quite simple, and as a time traveler, he didn't care much about this thing. So there was no pavilion or something at all. Guan Xiaoqi had to take the remaining family to his room to chat. Then, according to the order of the famous posts, the representative of the Fei family was the first to come in to talk to Guan Yi.
As Fei Cheng, as Fei Yi's eldest son, although his talent was not much worse than Fei Yi, he still had basic common sense. His letters were just ordinary greetings and appreciation for Guan Yi's governance of Fuling County, and there was nothing else.
"Well, the Huangmen Minister is intent. Tell me, what do he need me to do?"
"The prefect is so happy. I won't talk about it anymore. The head of my family means that I want to ask the prefect Guan to give you soap, Jingyao wax, and Yanxi lacquer to make."
"Um?!"
"Don't be anxious. My head of the family said it, it's not for nothing. My Fei family's business is willing to offer 500,000 yuan."
"Five hundred thousand? Hahahahaha, it seems that your head of the family has not figured out the situation. Five hundred thousand? Why doesn't he come and grab it?"
"What does the prefect mean? My head is sincere..."
"Forget it, I won't make any mistakes with you. Go back and tell you that the head of the family has no need to discuss this matter. I won't sell it for a lot of money!"
"Prefect!"
After seeing Guan Yi pushing one hand firmly, his face began to turn dark. Fei tactfully stopped this topic.
"Since the prefect is unwilling to give up, my head of the family will be second. Please ask the Fuxing Trading Company of the prefect to supply soap, Jingyao wax, and Yanxi lacquer to my Fei family business."
"When I go back, I reported to your head of the family that I, Fuxing Trading Company, signed an exclusive supply agreement with Mi Family Store. Our products can only be sold to Mi Family Store. I am really sorry."
"Premier Guan, this makes me puzzled. Why does Fuxing Trading Company only do the Mi family's business but not the Fei family's business?"
What's wrong with it? The biggest huge profit in the world is monopoly! If I hadn't signed an exclusive sales agreement with the Mi family, the Mi family would have prepaid more than 10 million yuan of grain first? How much time would it take for me to slowly complete the accumulation of original capital without prepaid grain? Besides, the Mi family's logistics channels are all over Wei and Wu. In the future, my products will increase. It is impossible to afford such a small market as Shu Han. For your sake, you lost the logistics channels all over the world?
Seeing Guan Yi silent, Fei Cai spoke even more vigorously: "The prefect, soap, Jingyao wax, and Yanxi lacquer are indeed good things. CD companies are very concerned about it. Not only that, even the prince once asked about this..."
"Hmm?!" Guan Yi's eyes inherited Guan Yu's phoenix eyes and glared at Fei Cai obliquely: "Are you threatening me?"
"I am just a businessman, how dare I threaten the ward of a county? The prefect is joking. But the prince did ask this question. Oh, by the way, the one who respects brother is the princess? Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, the second prince of my Fei family will also be the princess after he gets the crown. Speaking of which, Guan, Fei family, or brother-in-law..."
Shaking his neck, Guan Yi stared at this for a long time. The big shopkeeper felt a sense of silence.
"You call Feicai, right?" Guan Yi stood up, stood in front of Feicai, and looked down at him from a high point: "The Wujiang Channel in Fuling County is very numerous. You said, what would happen if you hit the reef on a boat when you go back? Well!"
"Prince Guan, you...you...what do you want to do?"
"Hmph! Go back and explain it clearly to your master. The technology is not sold! The product is not sold! If you have any skills, just use it. I will continue to keep you in touch!"
"Prince Guan, you will regret it."
"Hahahahahaha, it's up to you, you're the Fei family? Don't want to sniff. Get out of Fuling County before I want to kill someone. You dare to threaten me with the prince? So what if you have a princess? So what if you have a princess? You are a servant, I will kill you. Just Fei Cheng, that waste, will you even come to find me for you?"
Fei Cai saw Guan Yi's murderous eyes showing his murderous aura and no longer dared to hold on. He quickly ran out of the lobby. After he ran out of the lobby, Guan Suo walked out from behind the screen in the lobby.
"Hey, Uncle San, why are you here?"
"I'm just late! You idiot! The other party's slave asked for a meeting, but you actually saw him? You sent a slave to see him too! You didn't see you as a self-deprecating person!"
Huh? Is that true? Then why didn’t Guan Xiaoqi remind me?
"Oh, forget it, you were a concubine's son before. Your companions used to serve you, the concubine's son. Basically, there would be no chance to send him off. It's normal not to understand. Chi Nuer, don't do this next time. People send a family slave here just to test and ask for directions. You can just send a family slave to make a mistake. When it's really serious, the other party will send the owner of the family."
"Oh? So that's it... But Uncle San, when it comes to this, it's a mistake. It's better for the families behind him to come to see him in person."
"Hmm? Well... that's fine."
The next Dong family, the head of the family was Dong Jue-dong Gong Xi, who wanted to marry Guan Yi's wife-in-law for his son and then take up the title of Shangshu Ling.
Speaking of which, since I replied to the princess and sister-in-law last summer, I have never received any letters from my sister-in-law. However, judging from the letters from my grandmother, aunt and biological mother at home that I have to receive every month, I have not mentioned that the princess and sister-in-law will remarry. It is estimated that Dong Mingtongzhao’s marriage to her sister-in-law is a waste.
Both sides sat down and then repeated the scene just now. The representative of the Dong family didn't say anything. Seeing that Guan Yi was determined, he bowed respectfully and said goodbye respectfully.
The third family is Lai Family. The head of the family is another person from the Shu Han regime: Lai Min.
This man was born in 165 AD and is now 93 years old. His hometown is Yiyang, Jingzhou (another fellow villager of Wei Yan). But he had served as an official in Liu Zhang before Liu Bei entered Shu, so he was not a Jingzhou sect but a Dongzhou sect.
In the era when Zhuge Liang was in power, Lai Min had a big tongue and made reactionary remarks about Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition everywhere, annoying Zhuge Liang. The sentence "Lai Min was in chaos" completely ruined Lai Min - look at the official title that Lai Min had been on his head for decades: General Zhishen, how could this be an official title? It was clearly humiliating!
Therefore, Laijia, who had lost hope in politics, focused his main energy on making money and expanding the land. Now that Wu Yi and Wu Ban died, the Dongzhou Paili, which has basically been marginalized, Laijia is considered the funder of the Dongzhou Pai.
In other words, this time the representatives of the family are not only the family, but also the weak Dongzhou faction.
There is nothing to say about the result of the talks. I don’t even throw away the two bigwigs of the Jingzhou School. How could I pretend to be a fool to the Dongzhou School?
The last one to come in was the representative of Xiang’s family.
There were two Xiang families in the Shu Han regime.
One is the Xiang family of Jingzhou, and the representative figures are Xiang Lang and Xiang Chong. Xiang Lang was in a high position in his early years, but because he protected Ma Su in the first Northern Expedition, he was deposed by Zhuge Liang. Xiang Chong, as mentioned in the previous article, died in the fight in the suppression of Hanjia County rebellion. Now Xiang Chong, the second generation of Xiang family, is only a partial general under the command of Jiang Wei. Therefore, the Xiang family in Jingzhou will not overestimate their abilities to fight Guan Yi.
The one who came to the CD's local Xiang family.
Speaking of which, the regime established by Liu Bei was indeed quite ruthless in suppressing the locals in Yizhou. There are very few high-ranking officials from Yizhou in the Shu Han court, and Yizhou officials with more than 2,000 stones can be counted. The most famous literary work is Qiao Zhou, the prince's teacher, and the martial arts are not Zhang Yi, who is known as a famous general but does not have an independent army.
Therefore, the main energy of the local family in Yizhou is to make money and buy land.
This Xiang family actually represents the local family in Yizhou.
The three major factions of the Jingzhou, Yizhou, Dongzhou, and Shu Han regimes all sent people, and Guan Yi had already felt the pressure of a mountain. But he still gritted his teeth and rejected all of these people.
