Even Zhang Fengnian knew that Ma Fu was usually an extremely stingy person.
Other local businessmen should know this person better.
But Zhang Fengnian discovered that no one thought anything strange about Ma Fu's performance.
It seems that this is just a matter of course.
So the key to the matter should not be Ma Fu, but the little Taoist boy.
Or, in other words, it was Taoist Chongyunzi who was behind the little Taoist boy.
"You guys wait here, I'm going to report it to the master now."
Ma Fu quickly laughed along with him: "In that case, I'll trouble you little master."
He was obviously the one who provided the money, but Ma Fu looked so humble in front of this little Taoist boy.
The little Taoist just glanced at Ma Fu and snorted rudely: "But I have to tell you in advance, whether to see you or not is my master's decision. I am only responsible for reporting."
The smile on Ma Fu's face became more and more respectful: "This is natural, we understand the Taoist priest's rules."
"Then just wait." The little Taoist boy said and closed the courtyard door directly.
Listening to the footsteps gradually receding in the yard, Zhang Fengnian felt that this matter became more and more interesting.
Although the businessmen around him are not as good as wealthy businessmen like Shen Wansan.
However, they are all great people in Datong Prefecture. It is not an exaggeration to say that Datong Prefecture will be shaken three times if they chop off their feet.
After all, there are not many pure businessmen these days. If you want to do business safely and steadily, it is absolutely impossible without a backend.
Otherwise, needless to say, all kinds of messy taxes will make them breathless.
Besides, traveling at this time is extremely dangerous.
If you don’t have official support, and you arrive in a completely unfamiliar place, you may be swallowed up to the bone.
Therefore, as long as you are doing business and want to expand your business, it is impossible not to have contact with officials.
Therefore, although the status of businessmen is very low on the surface, in fact they have many resources at their disposal.
How dare a little Taoist boy dare to show their shame like this.
And instead of being angry, these businessmen looked like they were taking it for granted.
This thing was weird from the inside out, which made Zhang Fengnian more and more curious about this Chong Yunzi.
He was certain that there was no such person in Datong Mansion before.
If it was really that powerful, he couldn't have known it until now.
Before coming to Datong Mansion, he had already asked people to investigate the situation in Datong Mansion.
There are some well-known people here. He doesn't dare to say that he knows everything about them, but he knows almost everything.
But before the drought in Datong Prefecture, he had never heard of this person.
I saw these cunning businessmen, each one as honest as a quail, waiting here.
Zhang Fengnian was completely interested in this Chong Yunzi.
He doesn't believe that there are any gods or ghosts in this world. If there are such things, I'm afraid businessmen like them will be the first to be unlucky.
Although the saying "No business without treachery" is a bit exaggerated, most businessmen, especially those in this era, are basically not absolutely clean.
For example, the business he established has always been run with integrity and has never done anything illegal or disciplinary.
But sometimes for your own safety, there is nothing you can do if you make offerings to some local higher-ups.
The wool comes from the sheep, and the merchants will not bear the money themselves. After all, it will be included in the cost and evenly distributed among the goods.
To put it harshly, isn’t this just using other people’s money to buy your own way?
Or maybe for some special reasons, some laws will always be slightly violated.
Although it cannot be said absolutely, most successful businessmen cannot be too clean.
Even people like Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan are absolutely no exception to this.
If there really are gods and Buddhas in this world and there is really any retribution...
These people will definitely be in bad luck.
However, the fact is that the businessmen Zhang Fengnian knew basically lived a very comfortable life.
Jinyi, jade, silk and satin. Compared with 99% of the people in the world, their lives are much better than those of 99%.
"Is this word Chongyun really that clever?" Zhang Fengnian asked with great interest.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the businessmen around him suddenly changed.
I immediately looked around nervously and found that there was no one else around.
Then he quickly said: "Boss Zhang must not arrange the affairs of Taoist Chong Yunzi behind his back. If Taoist Chong Yunzi finds out, it will be terrible."
"Boss Zhang, we didn't lie to you. This Taoist priest Zhong Yunzi is definitely a great master." As if to prove what he said, one of them actually started scarring himself.
"Let's just talk about the day before yesterday. I suddenly fell ill. I saw several doctors but no results. In the end, someone recommended me to build it, Taoist Master Chong Yunzi."
"Taoist Master Chongyunzi just saw me and saw that I was haunted by an evil spirit. Then guess what?"
Seeing this person's mysterious look, Zhang Fengnian asked cooperatively: "What was the result?"
The businessman's eyes began to shine: "Taoist Master Chong Yunzi did it in front of me. He directly pulled out the green ghost that was pestering me, punched it into a piece of yellow paper, and finally burned the green ghost. Became ashes."
"Then he mixed the ashes of the paper burned by the green ghost into water and let me drink it. As a result, my illness was cured in just one afternoon."
Although Zhang Fengnian didn't believe in ghosts and gods, seeing what this man said was so conclusive, he couldn't help but believe it.
Ma Fu also added with the same assurance: "This Taoist priest Chong Yunzi is not only good at catching ghosts and exorcising demons, but he is also extremely good at Feng Shui."
"My business has not been very good before. I accidentally heard from others that Taoist Master Chong Yunzi is extremely effective, so I made a special trip to visit him."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The first time I came to the door, I was kicked out by the barrel at the door." At this point, Ma Fu couldn't help but coax him on his face.
Several businessmen around him heard this and smiled knowingly.
They all knew about Ma Fu being kicked out.
When Zhang Fengnian saw this, he didn't know what was going on. He just didn't know whether he should ask or not.
It was obvious that the Ma Fuma boss had done something embarrassing, so he was kicked out.
Although Ma Fu is stingy, he also has an advantage that others do not have.
That's shameless.
This kind of shameless character would definitely be extremely despised by ordinary people.
But this kind of character turns out to be an advantage in a businessman.
After all, you have to sell something that is obviously useless but still very expensive.
It depends on being able to speak well and being shamelessly thick-skinned.
But this matter could make someone like him blush.
But soon Ma Fu's expression returned to normal, and he explained to Zhang Fengnian with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal to be honest."
“When I first came here, I had only heard of Taoist Chong Yunzi’s name, but I didn’t particularly believe in him.”
"So when I gave red envelopes..." Ma Fu said with a smile, "I didn't give that many."
"Maybe it's because he saw that I didn't give him enough. Master Chong Yunzi didn't even meet me and just let me go."
"Even the red envelopes I sent out were sent back by Master Chong Yunzi."
Although this guy looked ashamed, everyone around him was 100% sure.
There is absolutely no shame in this guy's heart. If something like this happens next time, he will definitely do it again.
As a businessman, I can actually be deducted this much.
For Ma Fu, they couldn't pass the written examination.
One of the businessmen quipped disdainfully: "That's not true. The first time you came to the house to give a red envelope, you ended up putting a penny in it."
"If I were Master Chong Yunzi, it would be easy for me to kick you out."
Okay, so that’s what happened. Zhang Fengnian was speechless.
I know this guy is a tough guy.
But I didn't expect that this Ma Fu could dig to such an extent.
No wonder he, who has always been stingy, turned out to be extremely generous this time. He just gave the Taoist boy at the door five coins as a reward.
Speaking of Ma Fu's embarrassing story, the businessmen burst into laughter.
Among the people present, Ma Fu was probably the only one who could do such a thing.
"You guys really dare to save any money."
"Thankfully, Taoist Chongyunzi is too generous to be familiar with you, and he helped you read your face afterwards."
"Otherwise, you would be a typical petty loser this time."
Ma Fu nodded repeatedly and continued to explain to Zhang Fengnian: "At that time, Master Chong Yunzi didn't even look at my red envelope, so he knew my little thoughts."
"I immediately understood that this Taoist Chongyunzi was definitely not an ordinary person."
"So I have prepared another big red envelope. Come and ask Taoist Chongyun to help you meet."
"As a result, under the guidance of Taoist Master Chong Yunzi, I quickly made a small profit."
"This time it's even more so..." Ma Fuzheng said with great joy.
A businessman next to him suddenly bumped him lightly with his elbow: "Boss Ma can't say anything out loud."
Ma Fu immediately realized that he seemed a little too complacent just now.
The most important reason why he was able to make a lot of money this time was because of the drought in Datong Prefecture.
To put it nicely, this is called the market determining the price.
However, in reality, it is just taking advantage of the situation and driving up prices.
There are some things you can do, but you absolutely cannot say.
They just want to make a fortune in silence, and take advantage of the disaster to amass money crazily, but they still don't know how to restrain themselves. If they get carried away, they may be in trouble.
Ma Fu coughed twice quickly and said with an embarrassed smile: "In short, it's all because of Taoist Chong Yunzi's guidance that I can be where I am today."
"So Boss Zhang, please don't underestimate Taoist Chongyunzi."
"That's it." Zhang Fengnian said as if he suddenly realized: "From this point of view, this Taoist Chongyunzi is really an extraordinary person."
Zhang Fengnian is also a very complicated person. Although he does not believe in gods and Buddhas, he still has some faith in Feng Shui pixels.
He had always thought that Chong Yunzi was just an ordinary liar, but these businessmen proved to him that there was indeed something to this.
After all, they are all wealthy businessmen, so there is no need to use their reputation to endorse a Taoist priest who does not know the details.
While they were chatting, the little Taoist boy who had gone in to report opened the door to the courtyard again.
The yard is not very large, but it has taken a lot of time from the beginning of the trail until now.
I don’t know how the little Taoist priest walked for such a long time on such a short distance.
After opening the door, the little Taoist priest's attitude was not much better than before.
He still looked extremely proud, as if everyone present owed him thousands or hundreds of taels of silver.
"You are lucky. My master has decided to see you. Come in with me."
Under the leadership of the little Taoist priest, the group finally entered the courtyard.
When walking inside, the little Taoist boy did not forget to give instructions: "Remember to close the door. Master said that after seeing you, there will be no more visitors today."
After entering the courtyard and walking around the screen wall, everyone immediately saw a Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes meditating in the courtyard.
This man was in his forties, and his figure was quite thin, but he gave off an air of immortality.
If this person's hair is white, I'm afraid based on this appearance, even if he claims that he is a god from heaven, some people will believe him.
Xiao Daotong first put his finger to his mouth and made a shushing gesture to signal them not to speak.
Seeing that everyone agreed, the little Taoist boy pointed at their feet and whispered: "You guys stand here first, I will tell the master..."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Chong Yunzi, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
But at this moment, the businessmen around them all felt that they had been seen through by this Taoist priest.
It was as if all the secrets he had hidden were exposed under the eyes of this Taoist priest.
"No need to inform me. Let's bring some donors over."
Zhang Fengnian's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the courtyard was not particularly big, they were at least five or six meters away from Taoist Chongyunzi.
In addition, the little Taoist boy just now was afraid of disturbing his master's practice, so his voice was extremely soft when talking to them.
Even so, this Chong Yunzi could hear clearly and even knew what they said.
This alone can prove that Chong Yunzi is extraordinary.
The businessmen gathered around Zhang Fengnian and came to Chong Yunzi, clasping their fists and luggage.
"I've met the Taoist priest."
"Long time no see, the Taoist priest is still as charming as ever. He is still so celestial and Taoist."
Chong Yunzi picked up a handful of floating dust next to him, stood up slowly, and announced to everyone: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, you guys shouldn't be here today."
"ah?"
The businessmen who were laughing along all looked confused.
