In the early morning, after Bai Yan checked the status of rose seeds as usual, he went to the library to discuss it with Mr. Yan, and gained a lot.
Throughout the whole day, Bai Yan stayed in the library. Many people came to visit him, including the second young master of Daotai Mansion, Meng Yuan of Qin Mansion, etc.
He didn't see her as usual, he was still waiting for Chu Jian, but in the evening, Chu Jian still didn't come.
He had no choice but to invite him in person, but he didn't know if Chu Jian would be interested.
After walking out of the library, he called Acheng and told him to go down and ask him to invite Chu Jian to come as a guest. He also wanted to go secretly so that no one could discover him.
"Don't worry, young master." Acheng said with a flattering look on his face: "Young master, Linghu Yun came to visit and gave you a gift. If you don't want it, young master, I will just throw it away."
With that said, Acheng handed a jade box to Bai Yan.
Opening it, there were more than a dozen seeds inside, all of which were rose seeds.
Bai Yan's heart moved, and he suddenly didn't want to see Chu Jian.
It would be a good idea to leave this middleman to Linghu Yun.
The most important thing is that Linghu Yun has channels in the Western Region, and may be able to get more seeds, which will help him a lot.
"Is Linghu Yun outside?" Bai Yan put away the box and asked.
"No, the visitor said that Linghu Yun is waiting for you at the Lin's Restaurant." Acheng said dissatisfied: "Linghu Yun is so proud that his brother has to come to visit in person. It's good for him, he has to be here
Setting up tables in the restaurant shows his difference."
"He is not showing off his identity, but he wants to completely resolve the conflict between me and him." Bai Yan responded with a smile.
Ah Cheng was confused.
Bai Yan explained patiently: "The conflict between him and me was at Lin's Restaurant, so he chose this place because he wanted to go back to the starting point and let everything disappear. In this, he is more attentive than others. Let's prepare the carriage.
, I’ll go to the restaurant and meet him.”
Ah Cheng responded and hurried to prepare the carriage.
Soon, Bai Yan came to Lin's Restaurant again, and Lin Xiao greeted him with the same smile as last time.
Linghu Yun was also sitting in the former private room. There was only one person there, not even the old man beside him.
Bai Yan glanced at it and saw that the dishes were the same as before, except that there were some more dishes he liked.
"Master Yun, please pay attention." Bai Yan greeted and sat down.
"Second brother and so many important people have been turned away. But Master Bai can come, it is to give me face. I will punish myself with three cups!"
Linghu Yun didn't say much, and drank three glasses of wine directly. His face turned red, and Bai Yan wanted to see it.
"There's no point in drinking. Of course I came here to cooperate, but I don't know what Mr. Yun can give me. Now it's just a golden sore medicine. Next, there will be many new pills. No matter who controls this channel, how much money they make
I don’t dare to talk about the money, but I will definitely make some connections.”
Bai Yan confessed frankly: "Originally, I wanted to cooperate with Uncle Chu, but Uncle Chu is a decent man and may not care about this."
"Censor of Chujian?" Linghu Yun asked.
He was already shocked. One thing was that after the golden sore medicine, there were other pills. They said they were pills, but he knew in his heart that they were pills.
No matter what kind of elixir it is, once it appears, it will definitely cause a sensation.
In addition, Yushi Chujian was one of the top five people in the entire officialdom of Yanzhou Dao, and he was also a close confidant of Emperor Ming.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the third-ranking figure after Daotai and the Governor, but he is not comparable to Qin Zhifu.
Even if he entered the Hanlin Academy and had the status of Master Daotai, he could not compare with Chu Jian.
There is Chu Jian in the officialdom, Qinggong in the army, Bai Yan is in Beidi, and no one in the entire officialdom dares to offend him.
But having said that, with Chu Jian’s personality, he might not care about this.
Linghu Yun thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Master Bai, the flower seeds I just gave you are the seeds of roses from the Western Regions, which are very rare. I can give you more than a dozen of these flower seeds every year. In addition, I can
I will give you all the information in the officialdom. This will be useful to you and to White Deer Academy."
"Is that all there is?" Bai Yan narrowed his eyes.
Linghu Yun's heart sank.
These seeds are not easy to obtain. Nowadays, we have just established commercial relations with the Western Regions, and there are only a dozen caravan exchanges every year.
If he hadn't been a Daotai master, he wouldn't have been able to get these seeds at all.
There is also official information, which is the most important and cannot be measured by money.
Seeing Linghu Yun's silence, Bai Yan spoke again: "Business in the Western Regions is difficult, but at best I can spend more money and form a caravan myself. Mr. Yun, this doesn't impress me yet."
"Master Bai, it is not easy to set up a business trip to a foreign land. It has to pass the government review, which is very troublesome." Linghu Yun said dullly.
"Do you think it's difficult for me to do this now?" Bai Yan asked.
Linghu Yun was completely helpless. It was difficult for others to form a caravan, but it was not difficult for Bai Yan.
Not to mention that he has support behind him, but he also has a title, which makes it easier to manage.
What's more, in the North, who dares not to give Zhenbei Hou some face?
But, what else can he come up with?
Although he is a Daotai master, he is not as good as Bai Yan in terms of money.
The same cannot be said for treasures.
Only then did he realize that in front of Bai Yan, he, a Taotai master, was just a poor man, with not even a single thing he could use.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a difficult decision.
"Master Bai, I can't give you anything more now, but I can guarantee that when I become an official in the future, I will fully support your business development. In addition, if you want to become an official, I will also fully assist you.
Not only me, but also my father, I will try my best to persuade you and provide you with some help."
Linghu Yun had really made up his mind. The help of a Taoist priest was of immeasurable value.
Bai Yan played with the teacup and said with a smile: "It's a deal. As for Master Daotai's help, as a parent, it's better to be fair. But I accept your guarantee."
Linghu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, he finally understood what Bai Yan meant.
The last time he was here, he wanted to accept Bai Yan as his younger brother, but failed.
But today, he himself has become Bai Yan's younger brother.
Becoming a businessman's younger brother was something he couldn't even imagine, but it just happened.
However, he doesn't feel too uncomfortable. As long as he can cooperate, it will be worth the effort.
What's more, a warrior like Mr. Yuan has become Bai Yan's younger brother, so what does he mean?
"Master Bai, how about celebrating our happy cooperation?" Linghu Yun raised his glass again and deliberately lowered the glass.
