Chapter 31 Du Miaoyan appears, round table meeting
Governor's Mansion.
Fang Yuan was reminiscing with Ji Rufeng and others.
During this period, Zhang San came in and reported to the representative of the Royal Commercial Bank for an audience.
"The Royal Trading Company is here too?!"
"Zhang San, greet the distinguished guests for me. I will come back as soon as I go."
Fang Yuan stood up excitedly.
I thought it was Li Daye and his housekeeper.
I was able to be promoted to the governor of Liaozhou, thanks to Li Daye's help.
After saying goodbye to Wuling County, I never had the chance to thank you in person, but now the opportunity has come.
In addition to the two of them, there was also his former boss, who didn't have time to express his gratitude.
"Yes."
Zhang Sanying is.
Stay with Ji Rufeng and others.
Although he does not have an official status now, as a close confidant of the governor, he is qualified to greet Ji Rufeng and others.
Ji Rufeng and others watched Fang Yuan leave and made eye contact. They all saw the shock in each other's eyes and were secretly shocked by Fang Yuan's profound background.
Even the Royal Commercial Bank came to ask for an audience, which shows how powerful Fang Yuan is.
The lobby of the front yard of the Governor's Mansion.
When Fang Yuan walked out, he didn't see Li Daye and his butler.
Instead, I saw a fair-skinned young man in white clothes who was more beautiful than a woman standing aside.
"Who are you?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly and looked at the other person.
This young man looks quite like a girl, isn't he a girl disguised as a boy?
"Du Miaoyan, the young head of the royal merchant house and the daughter of Housekeeper Du, has met Governor Fang."
Du Miaoyan took out the gold medal.
At the same time, he also looked at Fang Yuan.
This is her first time to observe Fang Yuan up close.
I immediately felt that Fang Yuan was not only capable, but also good-looking.
"It turns out to be Miss Du, please sit down quickly."
Fang Yuan looked at the gold medal and confirmed the opponent's identity.
At the same time, I also understood why Butler Du could continue to be Li Daye's butler despite being so weak.
It turns out that I have a daughter who is the head of the house.
"Isn't Governor Fang surprised that I'm a girl?"
Du Miaoyan sat down and looked at Fang Yuan curiously.
She disguised herself as a man to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But facing Fang Yuan, she thought of the purpose of getting to know Fang Yuan, so she took the initiative to confess.
But unexpectedly, Fang Yuan was not surprised, as if he knew about his daughter's pregnancy in advance.
"Already guessed."
"What is Miss Du talking to me about this time?"
Fang Yuan smiled calmly and went straight to the topic.
He has other distinguished guests to entertain, and it is impossible to chat with Du Miaoyan for too long.
"My father asked me to meet Governor Fang."
"And I hope that the Royal Commercial Bank can cooperate with Governor Fang."
Du Miaoyan did not ask why Fang Yuan guessed it.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also changed the topic, so she would naturally not ask further questions.
"Then Miss Du came at the right time. I am missing two things so that I can show off my skills."
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.
A more ambitious business plan unfolds in my mind.
"Please say."
Du Miaoyan said.
"Can Miss Du obtain the legal right to operate salt and iron?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
In the early Tang Dynasty, salt management was not very strict.
But in fact it was all controlled by the aristocratic families and the imperial court.
Without the management rights of the imperial court, it is easy for others to pick peaches, even local officials are unavoidable.
After all, it is a very huge benefit.
Tie's management rights are even stricter and are completely controlled by the imperial court and the big families.
Even the nine major trading houses invited by Fang Yuan do not have the right to operate ironware, and they dare not secretly manufacture it in private.
"Salt is fine, but if it's iron, I have to go back and revise the book before I can confirm it."
Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and said.
Salt and iron are both commodities that the imperial court controls very strictly.
Fang Yuan wants two management rights, which shows how ambitious Fang Yuan is.
"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow night."
"I will have a meeting with your firm tomorrow night."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Everything is almost ready, it’s time to show off your skills in Liaozhou.
"Okay, see you tomorrow night."
Du Miaoyan also has a cheerful personality and does not linger too much.
She left, and then asked someone to bring another letter back to Chang'an City.
......
Qin Liangcai just returned to Sanxing Yahang.
Chief Shi Lu Wenhan, Sima Su Taihe and the three major county magistrates arrived in a hurry.
"The third boss, what should we do? What do you think we should do?"
Lu Wenhan said with a panicked expression.
He learned from his servants what happened at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Five thousand people gathered around the gate of the Governor's Mansion to demand justice from Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan easily counterattacked.
Not only that, the people also changed from hating Fang Yuan to being grateful, and even knelt down to express their support for Fang Yuan.
Regret, I regret so much that my intestines are full of regret. If I had known earlier, I would not have listened to the opinions of Qin Liangcai and others. Now my position as chief historian is in danger.
The faces of Sima Su Taihe and the three major county magistrates were not very good either, and they became sullen after sitting down.
"Why panic? Didn't we jointly impeach him?"
"It's been a few days now, I believe there will be news back in the next two days."
"He is just arrogant now, but once the paperwork is handed down, he will be thrown into dust and never be able to stand up again."
Pingcheng County Magistrate said with an ugly face.
This time I really saw a ghost, things turned out like this.
With the support of so many people, they will no longer dare to embarrass Fang Yuan openly.
"You must not panic, you all have a back-up."
"I have long said that this is not good, but you insist on doing this."
Lu Wenhan was very dissatisfied and his voice became much louder.
Several days have passed, and there is no news about the reinstatement notice.
Not only that, the counties in Liaozhou cannot function without county magistrates and long histories.
"Okay, okay, Lu Changshi calm down."
"I have bad news here, I hope you are mentally prepared."
Qin Liangcai quickly comforted Lu Wenhan.
Now Fang Yuan is showing more and more strength.
It would be a shame if one's own internal chaos breaks out before Fang Yuan is dealt with.
"What's the matter?"
The Liaoshan County Magistrate frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Fang Yuan invited nine major trading firms, including Shengyun Trading Company, Tengfei Trading Company and Zhiyuan Trading Company, to gather in Liaozhou."
Qin Liangcai said in a deep voice.
He originally planned to go to the Xiwen Pei family after returning to Sanxing Yahang.
But I didn’t expect that Lu Wenhan, Su Taihe and others would arrive so quickly, so I didn’t report them yet.
"What?"
"Does he have such summoning power?"
"Then why did he invite nine major merchants to gather in Liaozhou?"
Su Taihe exclaimed.
He can afford to hire all the nine major trading firms.
Although these trading houses are engaged in business and have a low status, they have great energy.
Being able to invite nine families over at once was something he would never dare to think of even using his family.
Others were also shocked, and Fang Yuan's figure was instantly elevated by several levels in their hearts.
"Unite the people and fight against us."
Qin Liangcai said in a deep voice.
This is the conclusion he guessed himself.
But he thinks this conclusion is very correct.
Fang Yuan is an outsider and has no status in Liaozhou.
If you want to confront Liaozhou officials and aristocratic families, you must have the support of the people.
Nowadays, the people of Liaozhou are living a miserable life, but Fang Yuan's recruitment has brought hope to the people, and their interests are locked together.
"Hmph, even a mere provincial governor dares to confront us."
"Everyone, get serious and use your family's power to completely destroy him."
Su Taihe snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.
He was shocked by Fang Yuan's ability, but he still looked down on Fang Yuan.
Liaozhou has been controlled by major families for many years, and no governor has ever been able to get what he wanted after he came.
The previous governors were not good enough, the current Fang Yuan is not good either, and other future governors will not be good either.
"As it should be!"
Liaoshan County Magistrate and several others nodded.
At this moment, they became really angry and decided to destroy Fang Yuan forcefully.
Lu Wenhan looked silent and said nothing because he did not have the support of aristocratic family.
But I felt a little comforted, after all, several big families were going to take action.
However, at this moment, a servant outside ran in in a panic.
"Sir, something serious has happened. The imperial court has issued a document saying that Mr. Lu and Mr. Su will be removed from their posts."
The room was deathly silent.
......
The next night, Fang Yuan held a roundtable meeting and conspired with major chambers of commerce in Liaozhou.
