I doubt that there is any need to bring in so many state officials with great fanfare, right?
Looking at the dozens of state officials present, I am afraid that all the state officials have been mobilized, right?
Of course, Changsun Chong didn't know that there were as many as three hundred state officials in Liaozhou.
Qin Huaiyu and others also expressed disbelief, and they looked down on Fang Yuan in their hearts.
"Hey, guys, it's me!"
Du He suddenly got off the carriage and looked at Changsun Chong and others with a smile.
"Duhe?!"
Changsun Chong and others were stunned.
Unexpectedly, Du He also appeared in Liaozhou City.
They had agreed to set off together, but Du He disappeared when they set off.
So they decided to set off without waiting for Du He.
Unexpectedly, Du He has already arrived in Liaozhou City.
Maybe it's earlier than them.
"Du He, what do you mean it's you?"
Qin Huaiyu felt something was wrong with Du He's words and asked Du He.
"Hehe, I betrayed you."
"I told Fang Yuan that you would definitely run away."
Du He chuckled.
When the guest house opened, he was actually there.
But it's not at the door, but inside the guest house to see the facilities of the guest house.
He was very curious about the soft mattress, toilet, twelve-hour hot water, bathtub, water pipes, etc., so he stayed in it.
After the visit later, when he went out, he saw Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yuan making a bet, and he was embarrassed to come out. After all, he had a good relationship with Qin Huaiyu and others.
At the end of the bet, he happened to meet Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan asked him to help watch Qin Huaiyu and others, and offered benefits, so he immediately told Fang Yuan that Qin Huaiyu and others would escape.
Then there were the defenders blocking the way and Fang Yuan arriving so quickly.
"You, you are really my good brother!"
Qin Huaiyu pointed at Du He and was so angry that he was almost speechless.
"Du He, I want to fight you!"
"Du He, I want to cut off my ties with you!"
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin shouted angrily.
They have been in a relationship for more than ten years, and this bastard actually reported on them.
"Brothers, I don't want to either, but Fang Yuan gave me too much."
"You should pay back the money quickly, I can get 10% from you."
Du He didn't feel embarrassed at all, but instead smiled at Qin Huaiyu and others.
When Fang Yuan asked him to help look after Qin Huaiyu and others, the condition he offered was that Qin Huaiyu and others should pay back 10% of the money, which meant that it was thirty strings.
"You, you sold us for a success?"
Cheng Chumo was so angry that he breathed heavily from his nose.
"One percent has thirty strings, can you get it?"
Du He rolled his eyes at him and said.
"Um, it doesn't seem possible."
Cheng Chu was stunned and said awkwardly.
He suddenly felt that thirty guan was not impossible.
"Okay, everyone, shut up."
"Prefect Fang, what are you going to do with us?"
Changsun Chong interrupted, looked at Fang Yuan and said solemnly.
Several people seemed to respect Changsun Chong, and they all looked at Fang Yuan.
"I don't want to deal with you, but I want you to keep your promise."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Take out the bet you just made.
The contract was divided into three parts, one was in Qin Huaiyu's hands, one was in Fang Yuan's hands, and one was in the Governor's Mansion.
The writing is very clear in black and white, and the money owed by Qin Huaiyu, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, etc. is written very clearly.
"We don't have that much money now. We just went back to Chang'an City to get it for you."
Changsun's face darkened and he said in a deep voice.
"That's right, we went back to Chang'an City to get it for you."
Cheng Chumo nodded repeatedly.
Secretly sighing, Changsun Chong is so smart.
"Then why did Qin Huaiyu leave too?"
Fang Yuan chuckled and looked at Qin Huaiyu.
"I, I'm sending them away."
Qin Huaiyu's face changed and he said in a squeaky voice.
He sighed in his heart, knowing that Fang Yuan was reminding him about his three-year younger brother.
I regret it. I thought I would become Fang Yuan’s younger brother for three years. It would be embarrassing to say this.
How will you live in Chang'an City in the future?
"That's it."
"Then you can go."
Fang Yuan suddenly realized, then he looked at Changsun and smiled at the others.
Changsun Chong and the others suddenly lost their composure. They looked at each other and then at Qin Huaiyu.
"However, I would like to remind you that if the money does not arrive after one month, I will have these contracts announced in Chang'an City."
Fang Yuan smiled.
You can't stop them if you want to escape.
Unless they don't cherish their reputation.
But as the sons of the prince, they cherish their reputation more than anyone else.
The higher a person is in a high position, the more he cherishes his reputation, which is very different from that of later generations.
In this era, many people regard reputation as something as important as life.
"I, I suddenly feel that there is no need to leave. We can find someone to borrow money."
Cheng Chumo said suddenly.
"Who can you borrow money from?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Yuchi Baolin rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly.
I'm a coward, I'm really a coward, I'm afraid of announcing it in Chang'an City.
The most you can get is a beating from your own father, and it won’t be very severe anyway.
"Look for Du Miaoyan!"
A figure flashed in Cheng Chumo's mind.
That's right, it's Du Miaoyan. He is the young master of the Royal Commercial Bank, so he must be rich.
In Liaozhou City, they only knew Du Miaoyan, as long as Du Miaoyan lent them money.
Cheng Chumo was really afraid of his father. When he beat someone, it felt like killing an enemy. A beating would kill half of his life. He never dared to let his father know.
"It seems, that's okay?"
Yuchi Baolin looked at Changsun Chong and said.
Rather than being exposed by Fang Yuan, it is better to borrow money from Du Miaoyan.
Considering how everyone has grown up, Du Miaoyan will not refuse to lend money, right?
"Prefect Fang, did you hear that? Please give way."
Changsun Chong thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
It would definitely not be good to leave Qin Huaiyu here.
And if it is really as Fang Yuan said, if the contract is announced in Chang'an City, what dignity will they have?
"Please help yourself."
Fang Yuan did not stop him and smiled calmly.
Changsun exchanged glances with several people, mounted his horse and left, preparing to leave.
"Hey, brothers, wait for me."
Du He rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said.
He was worried that Changsun Chong and others would leave secretly, and that he would not be able to get the thirty strings.
"No wait, let's go!"
The eldest grandson gave a shout and rode away.
Qin Huaiyu and others also followed and returned to the city.
"Fang Yuan, lend me a horse."
"Brothers, wait for me, wait for me."
Du He shouted.
Get on Zheng Jiu's horse and rush back.
Zheng Jiu looked at Du He's leaving figure and then at Fang Yuan.
"You just have to ask someone to get it back."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Then he waved to the captain guarding the city.
Told him not to let these people go without his own orders.
The sons of the duke all have powerful connections behind their backs, and we cannot let them leave like this.
However, I haven't figured out how to use these relationships yet, but it is very necessary to keep them in Liaozhou City.
The other side.
Du He quickly caught up with Changsun Chong and others.
"Brothers, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Didn't you go to my sister to borrow money? Wait for me."
Du He said with a smile.
"Du He, you are such a bastard, I made a mistake!"
Qin Huaiyu was the first to speak.
It's all Du He's fault, otherwise his plan would have worked.
It's a pity that it's just a little bit different, just a little bit different.
"Huaiyu, I'm here to save you."
"Think about it, if Fang Yuan really spreads your story in Chang'an City, you won't be the ones who are embarrassed?"
Du He said with a smile.
"So, we still have to thank you?"
Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.
But if I think about it carefully, I feel that what Du He said makes some sense.
They just want to leave, and Fang Yuan cannot target them if they leave Liaozhou City.
But he didn't expect that Fang Yuan could still find them even after leaving Chang'an City.
After all, people know their situation. The palace of the Duke is in Chang'an City. If you ask a little, you will know.
"That's not necessary. After all, we are all good brothers."
Du He patted his chest and said.
When Changsun Chong and others saw this, he seemed to have wronged Du He and slowly slowed down.
"Since you are a good brother, how about the thirty guan reward you received from Fang Yuan and exempting the debts of our brothers?"
Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes and suggested.
"Yes, I think it's okay, we are all good brothers."
Cheng Chumo was the first to second the proposal and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, good brother."
Yuchi Baolin and Changsun Chong also nodded.
"Qin Huaiyu, please show some face."
"That's thirty strings, not thirty coins. Hello brother, give it to me."
Du He rolled his eyes at Qin Huaiyu and said speechlessly.
"It's okay brother, are you such a good brother?"
"Don't say thirty guan, even three hundred guan will be given to you when you are in trouble!"
Qin Huaiyu blushed and said loudly.
Changsun Chong and others immediately looked at Qin Huaiyu with contempt in their eyes.
"You don't believe it?!"
Qin Huaiyu's face turned even redder and he said loudly.
"Trust, cherish the love and righteousness, and Bo Yuntian!"
Changsun Chong and others immediately spoke and looked at Du He.
"Tch, you believe it but I don't believe it."
"How about I ask my sister to lend you three hundred guans each, and then you can help me?"
Du He rolled his eyes and expressed disbelief.
"Du He, let's break off the relationship."
"Du He, cut off your robe and end your righteousness!"
"Du He, we are no longer good brothers!"
Qin Huaiyu spoke first and then quickly left.
Immediately afterwards, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and others also left their words and left.
"Hey, good brother, wait for me."
Du He quickly caught up.
Soon, everyone came to the Royal Trading Company and found Du Miaoyan.
"Three hundred strings, I won't be able to get it out for a while."
Du Miaoyan never said she wouldn’t borrow it.
It's just that three hundred guan is not a small amount, and she really doesn't have it now.
During the Chinese New Year, all the money earned by the Royal Commercial Bank was handed over to Li Shimin.
It’s just the beginning of the new year, and it’s time to spend money. We don’t have so much money at the moment.
"No, we don't need three hundred guan, we...just need one hundred and twenty guan."
Changsun Chong counted a little and found that they were still short of one hundred and twenty strings.
"One hundred and twenty strings...just wait."
Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and asked someone to go down and count how much money was left in the house.
Soon, news came back from the accounting office that the house still had enough for one hundred and twenty guan.
Hearing this, Changsun Chong and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
"The money from the Royal Commercial Bank is not mine. If you borrow it, remember to pay it back."
Du Miaoyan reminded.
Essentially, he was just helping the emperor.
"Don't worry, we understand."
Changsun Chong looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
They know that the Royal Commercial Bank is managed by Du Miaoyan.
And even if it’s Du Miaoyan’s money, they will pay it back.
"Sister, since it's not your money, doesn't it count as some interest?"
Du He whispered from the side.
"Du He, are you still a human being?"
"Our more than ten years of brotherhood have been in vain!"
Qin Huaiyu stood up so angry that he wanted to walk towards Du He.
"Hey, stop, do you still want to ask my sister for a loan?"
"Just now you said we were not brothers, are we brothers now?"
Du He said calmly.
He sat next to Du Miaoyan and didn't panic at all.
"You, you bastard!"
Qin Huaiyu was so angry that he could only sit down.
When I catch up with your sister, I will let you know when my brother-in-law loves you.
"Okay, stop making trouble."
"Bring your money, let's go find Fang Yuan."
Du Miaoyan stood up and said.
Saying that, he walked outside.
"Miaoyan, don't you bring any money?"
Changsun Chong followed and asked worriedly.
"Just take it with you."
"I have to reconcile the tea accounts with Fang Yuan every six months, just tell him to pay him when the time comes."
Du Miaoyan said as she walked.
She just thought that Changsun Chong and others wanted to borrow 300 guan, so she said that the accountant had no money, but did not say when to pay it back, because 300 guan was not a small amount, and she could not transfer it all to herself. Fang Yuan did not
Easy to intercede.
But after it dropped sharply to one hundred and twenty, Du Miaoyan felt that it didn't matter anymore. Fang Yuan definitely had nothing to say to give him this face.
"Tea account?"
"Tea wasn't invented by Fang Yuan, was it?"
Chang Sun Chong suddenly exclaimed.
As we all know, tea is sold by the Royal Merchant House.
But there are also some senior executives who know some inside information and know that Royal Commercial Bank is cooperating with others.
Changsun Chong and others are all sons of the Duke of the country. They know some things that others don't know, but they don't know much.
He only knew that the two tea bases were in Liaozhou and Chang'an City. Now that he heard that he wanted to settle the tea account with Fang Yuan, Changsun Chong immediately thought of whether Fang Yuan invented tea?
"Yes."
"In fact, he also invented fine salt."
Du Miaoyan said calmly.
She felt it was necessary to tell a few people how outstanding Fang Yuan was.
The man chosen by her, Du Miaoyan, cannot be a man who repeatedly does nothing.
"What?!"
Changsun Chong was shocked.
Qin Huaiyu was shocked.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were also shocked.
Several people were shocked and froze in place, their faces full of disbelief.
In the past, tea was unpalatable and no one drank it. Now, tea has become a must-have item for entertaining guests in the homes of every dignitary.
I heard that Du Xiang's health improved slightly because of drinking tea, which made people crave tea even more, and he drank some almost every day.
The sales volume is not terrible.
And fine salt.
Just a few months after its launch, it has completely replaced the previous coarse salt, salt, etc.
Its sales volume is also very scary, it’s all money, it’s all endless money!
Either of these two things can make a person rich, but Fang Yuan actually has two of them, isn't it terrible?
"Actually, Fang Yuan has many weird inventions, but it seems that he has never implemented them because he is too busy."
Du Miaoyan stopped and looked back at the people.
Seeing the shocked looks of several people, she smiled proudly.
"A bit scary."
Changsun Chong and the others looked at each other, feeling Fang Yuan's fear for the first time.
I thought he was a small governor, but I didn't expect that he was as rich as the country, rich and powerful.
"Let's go."
Du Miaoyan smiled slightly and turned around to find Fang Yuan.
......
As soon as Fang Yuan returned to the Governor's Mansion, he received a letter from the Yellow River, sent by Liao Fengmao.
During the few months that Liao Fengmao left, he would send a letter back every month, telling Fang Yuan about the situation there, reporting that he was safe, etc.
If it is an important matter, Fang Yuan will go back in person. If it is a routine matter, Fang Yuan will ask Hong Xu, Qing Wei and others to go back.
However, the letters were all sent to the Fang Mansion, and this was the first time they were sent to the Governor's Mansion, which made Fang Yuan feel something was wrong.
Sure enough, as Fang Yuan thought, what Liao Fengmao's letter said was not a good thing.
[The Yellow River dam management went smoothly, but the materials used were of low quality.]
[Some people embezzled the government's disaster relief money and even wanted to crack the dikes and harm the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.]
As for who it is, there is no record in the letter. It is estimated that Liao Fengmao does not know who embezzles and wants to harm the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
After reading the letter, Fang Yuan could not calm down for a long time.
Since ancient times, there will never be a shortage of people who take advantage of disasters to make a fortune.
As long as the benefits are sufficient, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can be ignored.
If the Yellow River dam breaks, it will really harm hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the river, and you may also be implicated.
It’s really abominable, it’s really a beast!
"President Zhou, Miss Du asked to see you, and with her came several young men who caused trouble in the guest house, saying they were here to pay you back."
The gatekeeper state officials came to report.
"Please come in."
Fang Yuan retracted his emotions and said calmly.
Soon, Du Miaoyan and Changsun rushed in, and servants came in carrying several boxes of money.
"Fang Yuan, we grew up together. It's not easy for me to say no to them."
Du Miaoyan expressed her apology.
Let’s talk about the general situation.
She has the privilege to enter and leave the governor's mansion at will.
But she didn't do it today because she wanted to see Fang Yuan's attitude first.
If Fang Yuan doesn't agree with her to help pay back the money, she can just leave.
Even if Fang Yuan is not disgusted, Changsun Chong and others who do not know the situation will not blame her.
"It's okay, sit here."
Fang Yuan nodded and invited them to sit at the coffee table.
"No need, just give us the contract."
Changsun Chong did not move.
Because he felt there was no need to stay.
It's already embarrassing to lose, but it's even more embarrassing to sit down and drink tea.
Several people saw that he didn't move, and they didn't really want to sit down and drink tea with Fang Yuan.
"The money was given, but what about Qin Huaiyu's three-year agreement?"
Fang Yuan sat down and chuckled.
The expressions of several people changed, and finally Qin Huaiyu walked over first and sat down.
Seeing Qin Huaiyu sitting down, Changsun Chong and others could only follow him and sit down.
"Fang Yuan, how can you give the contract back to us?"
"You know, I am the son of the Duke, and it is impossible for me to be someone else's younger brother."
Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.
He is the son of the Duke and will inherit the position of Duke in the future.
As the future prince, how can he be someone else’s little brother?
"This is your business, what does it have to do with me?"
"When the contract is announced, it will be you who will be embarrassed."
"Even if it causes the Duke to be unable to inherit, it is still your business."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Explain the disadvantages to Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu and others were suddenly shocked, and their expressions changed drastically.
This is actually what they are worried about.
As the Duke of the country, he acts as his own younger brother.
No matter what you say, it is an embarrassing thing for the imperial court.
Duke Yi only has one son, Qin Huaiyu, and he can only pass it on to Qin Huaiyu.
But the court is not sure. It may consider various issues and eventually downgrade it or something.
"Fang Yuan, is it really going to be so tense?!"
Qin Huaiyu stared at Fang Yuan angrily.
His fists were clenched subconsciously, and his face was very ugly.
Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also looked ugly.
Being held hostage by Fang Yuan made them very angry and embarrassed, and wanted to do extreme things.
This was the first time Du He saw Qin Huaiyu showing such a terrifying expression, and he immediately looked to the other side.
"Um, Fang Yuan, how about changing the conditions?"
Du Miaoyan sighed in her heart and begged for mercy.
After all, they grew up and don’t want them to have such a quarrel with Fang Yuan.
"Since Miaoyan begs for mercy, then I will change the conditions."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Du Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly.
"Say!"
Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Du Miaoyan gratefully.
The same was true for Changsun Chong and others, who remembered Du Miaoyan's kindness in their hearts.
"Do you know that I invented tea and fine salt?"
Fang Yuan already had an idea in his mind and said in a deep voice.
"Know."
Qin Huaiyu hummed.
I thought Fang Yuan wanted to brag to them.
"It's good to know."
"I not only have fine salt and tea leaves, but also cement, briquettes, etc., but I am short of partners."
"You are all the sons of the prince. If you are willing to help me sell the products, you... each of you will get 10% of all the products sold."
Fang Yuan said slowly.
"Wha, what?"
Qin Huaiyu and others were immediately stunned.
The condition for replacement is to ask them to help sell things?
This is a proper gift!
Although Qin Huaiyu and others claim to be the sons of the Duke of the country.
But with the Royal Trading Company here, they couldn't believe that Fang Yuan would choose to help sell products.
"Unwilling?!"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
If you don't want to, then isn't it difficult to implement your plan?
"No, no, I am very willing!"
Qin Huaiyu answered quickly.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also nodded repeatedly.
They don't know how profitable tea and fine salt are, but they are definitely very profitable.
Since Fang Yuan mentioned cement and briquettes together with them, it must be extremely profitable.
If one person gets 10%, how much profit will that be?
"Fang Yuan... No, brother-in-law, I am willing too."
Du He interjected from the side.
With such a good condition, he is willing to accept it.
As soon as the word "brother-in-law" came out, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.
Du Miaoyan blushed, shyly holding the tea cup with both hands and drinking tea with her head lowered.
Qin Huaiyu and others were dissatisfied, but for the sake of money, they chose not to speak.
"Then I'll count you in, each of you will get 10%, totaling 50%."
"But you need to go through an assessment. After passing it, you can officially cooperate, and the contract can be exchanged for you."
Fang Yuan coughed dryly and said slightly embarrassed.
The relationship between him and Du Miaoyan has not reached that stage yet.
Although Du Miaoyan said she liked him last time, Fang Yuan didn't accept it and didn't know how to accept it.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is better than friends, but it has not reached the level of lovers.
"What assessment?"
Qin Huaiyu said cautiously.
But I am also looking forward to it very much.
It's just an assessment, no matter how difficult it is, it's better than getting back the contract.
"Help me escort a batch of cement to control the Yellow River dams, and listen to Liao Fengmao's arrangements to find out one or two things."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
After reading Liao Fengmao's letter, Fang Yuan thought about how to kill those beasts.
Du Miaoyan happened to arrive with Qin Huaiyu and others, and thinking about their identities, Fang Yuan had a plan in mind.
"Is it that simple?"
Qin Huaiyu is no longer confident.
Changsun Chong and others also looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.
The assessment was so simple that they couldn't believe it.
Even Du Miaoyan felt surprised, thinking that Fang Yuan was not afraid of the identities of Changsun Chong and the others, right?
