Chapter 485 is just making a template for a bunch of merchants
Chapter 485
Five days later, the prefect of Jiangdu County entertained guests at a restaurant on the bank of the canal in Jiangdu County. Naturally, all the guests invited were celebrities from Jiangdu County.
Yang Qian, the protagonist with the highest status and official position in Jiangdu County and even Jiangnan, naturally could only hide in his mansion.
Changsun Wuji sat in the study, eagerly watching Yang Qian play chess with his own sister, and said.
"You are the protagonist of today's banquet. It is precisely because of this that if you go early, it will seem condescending."
"This banquet is to discuss business matters, not to mention that you and the others are entrusted with a virtual snake. I think my younger siblings and roommates will not be happy to see such an occasion."
As for Li Shimin, Su Dingfang and others, they were squatting at the door bragging and spanking. Anyway, these kind of things are beyond the control of half-grown children like them.
"In that case, I'd better have a meal at the house later before going." After hearing Changsun Wuji's earnest talk for a long time, Yang Qian could only agree with Changsun Wuji's suggestion.
"Besides, Zijing, do you really want to leak that news?"
"Which news?" Yang Qian raised his eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji, and then he suddenly realized what he wanted to say.
"This is natural. Someone has been to that island before. If we mention it again, it will only add fuel to the flames."
"If they really have that ability, wouldn't the court in the future be able to gain more tax land?"
Hearing these words, Changsun Wuji could only nod his head in approval. In the future of the court... these words were quite cryptic.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but laugh, his smile was so meaningful that he still didn't finish it.
Li Shimin and Su Dingfang, who were squatting outside the door, looked at each other.
"What is this sinister fat man laughing at? He is smiling so stupidly."
"What a foodie... squeak squeak..." Li Shimin said angrily as he chewed the sesame biscuits he asked for from Master Duan.
"Is it really that delicious?" Su Dingfang looked at Li Shimin and felt that there was really not much difference between this younger fat man and the fat man inside.
"The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes, and it's still chewy. Come on, try it..."
"Creak, creak, creak..."
Listening to the sound like a mouse foraging for food, Yang Qian felt bad all over. No wonder there are always people in later generations who have the habit of chewing gum.
Is it possible that you can think of a way to make Duan Shizi’s special sesame seed cakes into a brand, called Chewy Yuexiang sesame seed cakes?

"Oh, shopkeeper Liu Da, you didn't expect to meet me here today?"
"Brother Xu, I'm so polite. Tell me what happened today."
"Who can say this well? However, Shopkeeper Hu and Mr. Zheng, who are very close to the Prefect's Mansion, should know something about it. Unfortunately, I have no friendship with them."
"I heard someone say that they are planning to bleed a lot today in exchange for Governor Yang's promise."
"But I'm worried that even if there is blood, what if Governor Yang..."
"It seems that this brother has arrived in Jiangdu not long ago. I don't know the character of our governor. Let me tell you. If nothing else, our governor Yang's words are definitely like spitting and nailing."
"Think about how those bandits and bandits were killed over and over again by the army in other places, but they fled everywhere and wanted to surrender to Jiangdu."
"Why, that's because our eunuch has promised us that after surrender, all the evildoers will be able to survive. As long as they obey the government honestly, they will be obedient citizens of Jiangdu."
"This is why the war in Huaibei is in full swing, but once you cross the Huai River and enter Jiangdu, there is a scene of peace and tranquility for the country and the people."
"After all, our Governor Yang is a man who honors his word and keeps his word."
The entire restaurant was closed to outsiders, and only the wealthy businessmen from Jiangdu County who had been invited today were welcomed. There were even some traders who were interested in developing their business in Jiangdu County.
It was well past noon before the guests gathered together, and Yang Qian, surrounded by a group of soldiers, left the prefect's mansion and came here.
#####
"Prefect Yang is here!" As loud shouts came from inside and outside the restaurant, the noise in the originally bustling restaurant almost stopped instantly.
Soon, a young dignitary wearing a vermilion official uniform, with a face like a crown jade and an upright figure appeared in the restaurant.
Almost everyone bowed respectfully to this young man who was the most powerful person in Jiangdu and even Jiangnan.
"The common people have seen Governor Yang."
"I have seen Yang Jiangdu."
Although the various titles seemed a bit confusing, they all seemed very respectful.
Yang Qian glanced at the group of people, then cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
"You are able to attend the banquet here today because of Yang's face. Thank you very much..."
Then, Yang Qian began to walk around, asking the officials around him, or Hu, Zheng and others to introduce these Jiangdu merchants to him.
Such an action really made the merchants feel flattered.
However, Yang Qianduo just nodded as a courtesy, encouraged people to eat and drink, and left the rest of his words to his subordinates to deal with these merchants.
When the guests and hosts were all seated and the noise at the table had subsided, Zheng Yuanxun stood up first.
"Zheng was able to gain a foothold in Jiangdu, thanks to the efforts of the prefect and a group of officials from Jiangdu County. Jiangdu County gets Prefect Yang, just like grass and trees get the rain..."
After Zheng Yuanxun first made some flattering remarks in praise of his virtues, he then mentioned that he had heard that Grand Administrator Yang was following His Majesty's will to supervise the construction of dragon boats at the Jiangdu Shipyard.
Since we are also citizens of the Sui Dynasty and have been deeply favored by the imperial court, Deng decided to donate 5,000 guan to fund the shipbuilding of Governor Yang.
Five thousand guan, this is not a small amount of money, and it instantly made the atmosphere in the entire restaurant suddenly stagnant...
"Five thousand guan, isn't this the entire wealth of us people? What...what does Yang Jiang want to do?"
Below, a group of businessmen began to chatter privately, talking among themselves.
However, another merchant stood up, but it was a merchant that no one was familiar with. After praising Yang Qian, he also expressed his willingness to follow the example of Fourth Young Master Zheng.
Decided to donate 200 guan to fund the shipbuilding of Taishou Yang, and hoped that Taishou Yang could successfully complete the tasks assigned by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty as soon as possible.
After being able to stay in Jiangdu, I will continue to do my job as a parent officer of Jiangdu County and work hard to create a good living environment for everyone.
Next, Hu Wei also stood up, and first expressed humbly that his net worth was substantial, but it was not as good as that of the Fourth Young Master Zheng of Xingyang.
Therefore, he is willing to donate 1,500 yuan as the cost for Yang Taishou to build a dragon boat for His Majesty.
While this person was still chattering non-stop, everyone present who could make the business bigger and stronger were all talented people.
He quickly realized that Mr. Zheng from Xingyang, shopkeeper Hu, and the merchant appeared out of nowhere.
It's just a template for a bunch of businessmen...
