Duanmu Nanfeng's sadness was real because he didn't know that his sister's death was fake.
Xiao Chen told him and he still refused to believe it. Prince, are you just saying this to comfort me?
I am not a child anymore, and this kind of useless comfort is not what I need now.
Xiao Chen, can I lie to you about such an important thing?
I don't have this ability, but the eldest lady of the Ouyang family does. It was she who poisoned your sister to death with her own hands. What kind of red-blooded sky spider did she feed?
Duanmu Nanfeng was half convinced.
But at the farewell ceremony for Duanmu Nanqiao's body, she still cried so hard that she clung to the coffin tightly with both hands, and her fingernails even drew blood!
Li Wanjiang was moved when he saw it.
After burying Duanmu Nanqiao, Li Wanjiang was afraid that Duanmu Nanfeng would not be able to think of anything else, so he specially ordered Xiao Chen to accompany him in his house. If there is anything wrong with Uncle Guo, I will ask you!
You are still the eunuch of the West Factory. Don’t forget, you are also responsible for the death of my beloved concubine!
Li Wanjiang did not accuse Xiao Chen unfairly...
"This is Fu Yan and Fu Wanchun. Yes, he is the head of Xuanming Hall of Tianxuan Hui, but he is no longer the hall master of Xuanming Hall of Tianxuanhui. He is one of our family members." Xiao Chen happened to meet Duanmu Nanfeng in a legitimate manner.
Although they always communicated with each other, they were too far apart and letters were not safe, so Mu Nanfeng was unaware of many events in Yanyun County.
Naturally, they didn't know that Fu Yan had defected to our side.
"Uncle Guo, don't be suspicious. I am determined to follow the boss." When Fu Yan saw Duanmu Nanfang looking at him, he knew that he suspected that he was an undercover agent.
"It doesn't matter. Brother Wan Chun, you are too worried." Duanmu Nanfeng said.
Although he has never met Tie Kunlun, he knows about it. He is a subordinate of Lord Li Chang, and he also knows about Duan Ling'er, the daughter of Duan Pingzhang, the Marquis of Pingyang in the former Han dynasty. As for Xiao Ye, he has met him and does not need to introduce him.
"Boss, when are we going to find my sister?" Duanmu Nanfeng didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries.
"We'll go tonight." Xiao Chen said.
"Do you need to prepare something? I still have some people here who can help." Duanmu Nanfeng was impatient.
"No need, we can just go dig the grave when the time comes. Later, Nan Qiao will live in my house and be a little maid. This is called darkness under the lamp, and no one would have thought of it." Xiao Chen had already prepared it.
Besides, this matter is a huge secret. Apart from a few of them, the fewer people know about it, the better.
Xiao Chen didn't even tell Murong Danqiu, he just watched Danqiu cry into tears...
So Murong Danqiu didn't accuse him unjustly when he called him ruthless and unjust.
"Is this what sister means?" Duanmu Nanfeng didn't know why Nan Qiao suddenly decided to leave the palace.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't do this." Xiao Chen said.
"Has she known your identity, Crown Prince?" Duanmu Nanfeng asked again.
"Yes, but I didn't tell her, she guessed it." Xiao Chen thought about it now, Nan Qiao was really too smart.
"Then she wants to follow you to Yanyun?" Duanmu Nanfeng is also very smart, and now he has begun to doubt the relationship between his sister and the prince.
"That depends on what she means." Xiao Chen avoided the question.
But in his heart, he had already regarded Duanmu Nanfeng as his brother-in-law.
After talking about personal matters, it’s time to talk about business matters.
Xiao Chen told Nanfeng about his current situation and the situation in Yanyun County in as much detail as possible, so that he could be fully aware of it.
At the same time, the cooperation model between the two also needs to be changed. The large amount of materials shipped by Nanfeng to Yanyun County before were basically given away for free, and they only received some symbolic money. This will definitely not work if it continues like this.
Because in the future, the trade between the two parties will be more frequent and the transaction amounts will be larger. No matter how rich the Nanfeng family is, they will not be able to bear such a huge loss. Moreover, sooner or later, if this continues, Li Wanjiang will become suspicious.
Therefore, Xiao Chen and Chen Jisheng decided after discussion that from now on they would cooperate in a fair trade manner and strive to achieve a win-win situation.
The economic system of Yanyun County will also change in the future, because once Xiao Chen's factories are put into operation, a large amount of products will be exported, and the prosperous Jiangnan County will be their largest market.
Xiao Chen also needs Duanmu Nanfeng to help promote these new products and strive to occupy the entire southern market in the shortest possible time.
The northern area is centered around Fengyang City, and Xiao Chen is considering handing over the agency rights of some products to Shi Mingtao.
With the help of these two people, the sales of his products will soon open up, and the economic situation of Yanyun County will be greatly improved.
Several of Xiao Chen's newly built sites are processing plants, and the costs of processing plants are relatively low, mainly due to technical support.
For example, there was a widely circulated case in the past where a factory in a certain country drove a large cargo ship to purchase large quantities of peanuts with skins in another country.
After they purchased the peanuts, they worked directly on the ship, using advanced equipment to separate the peanut shells and peanut kernels, and then used advanced technology to process and press the peanut shells into a strong and durable plate, which was sold back at a very high price.
Go to that country.
After such a magical operation, they got a boatload of peanuts for nothing!
Xiao Chen plans to do this now. His sugar factory, cannery, and fur factory basically follow this model.
So when he asked Duanmu Nanfeng to purchase a large amount of fruits, especially the more sugar cane, Nanfeng was very surprised.
Fruits and sugar cane have a very short shelf life. It takes seven or eight days to be transported to your place by ship. Even the best-preserved fruits will be half rotten, and this must be said under particularly smooth conditions.
.
Of course, the fruits in Jiangnan are very cheap, and the purchase cost is only a few dollars, but what Yanyun County needs most now is not this kind of thing, right?
Are you people thinking about eating fruit when you are full?
I know, boss, you always love and care for the people, but you don't care about the law like this.
Xiao Chen said you don't understand this, and I won't be able to explain it to you for a while. Anyway, you just need to transport it to me. If you don't pay me after it's shipped, it's over. Any profit or loss will be your brother-in-law's... the boss's.
In fact, it would be best to build a factory locally, but Xiao Chen can't do that. He will definitely fall out with Li Wanjiang in the future. When the time comes, the factory he has invested a lot of money and hard work to build will be given to him in vain, even if the technology is leaked.
The loss would be huge!
Therefore, he would rather increase some costs and go through more troubles, but he must build all the factories on his own site.
The purpose of building this factory is to make money, not to benefit all mankind.
But Duanmu Nanfeng mentioned something else that made Xiao Chen suddenly alert.
Wu Hongchang, the governor of Jiangnan County, once went to Nanfeng and talked about overseas trade. Wu Hongchang heard about Xiao Chen's business with Wilson from Lin Dongyang, the governor of Jiangdong County. He didn't want to report Xiao Chen, but told him
How feasible is it for Duanmu Nanfeng to consider that we also participate?
