Chapter 27 Immediate Results

Lin Fu did not expect that Qian Xiaowu's old creditor, Chen Laiwu, a loan shark in Xicheng, would come to visit him.

"Young Master..." Chen Laiwu came closer with a shy face, "I have offended many people in the past few days. Today Lai Wu is here to apologize to the Young Master."

"You're welcome, Mr. Lai Wu." Lin Fu handed the horse to Zhao Mengxiong and took it to the backyard. He asked Qian. Xiaowu knew that Zhao Hu and Lin Jingzhong had taken Chen Enze to the tea shop early in the morning and had not returned yet. He didn't really want to socialize with Chen.

Lai Wu, but Chen Lai Wu could not be left to Qian Xiaowu to socialize. He asked Qian Xiaowu, "Have you served tea to Lai Wu?" He walked to the guest room in the front yard, thinking about it.

Chen Laiwu was dealt with in the front yard. Local snakes like Chen Laiwu could not be easily offended. After all, they came to visit in a low profile. If they offended them, there might not be any big trouble, but they used some underhanded methods.

, can make people sick to death. It is best to leave this kind of person to Lin Jingzhong to deal with. After all, Jiyun Club wants to do business in Jiangning City, so it would be better to use a character like Chen Laiwu.

"No, no, we've had tea," Chen Laiwu said very politely. Lin Fu asked him to sit down, but he just put half of his buttocks on the chair and sat upright. "I've known for a long time that the young master is a bastard."

, is a top-notch figure. This morning, I heard that the young master made a big fuss in the feudal lord yesterday. Only then did Lai Wu realize that he had misjudged the young master. Although Lai Wu didn't have much knowledge, he still knew what to do.

What do you mean by following a hero's butt... Attachment... Attachment to Ji's tail? This feudal clan thief is not a thing, he has done all kinds of bad things, such as digging into the door of every house and kicking down the widow's door..." Chen Laiwu said in one breath.

After hearing many slanderous remarks from the Fan family, it was not until Qian Xiaowu brought the tea that he took a breath. He leaned forward and said to Qian Xiaowu, "Brother Xiaowu, you are now the manager of Lin House, how dare I ask you to make tea?"

Qian Xiaowu certainly didn't have a good look at Chen Laiwu who forced him to sell his wife to pay off his debts. He handed the tea to the table, said something to Lin Fu, and then left.

Lin Fu was thinking about Chen Laiwu's purpose, and remembered that Zhang Yubo said last night that Chen Laiwu and the steward of Mu Guogong's mansion were cousins. Mu Guogong and Yongchang Hou were both hereditary nobles in Jiangning City. Chen Laiwu

The ability to act recklessly in Xicheng is also due to the power of Mu Guogong's Mansion. Yongchang Houfu and Mu Guogong's Mansion have been established in Jiangning for more than two hundred years, and the children of the two families also have thousands of people.

There are very few in-law exchanges in Jiangning City. To say that there is no discord between the two families, even a ghost would not believe it. Lin Fu secretly wondered in his heart: Could Chen Laiwu, a scoundrel, be sent by the Duke of Mu to test the depth of the water?

Lin Fu calmly dealt with Chen Laiwu and sent him out politely. He turned back and looked at the table. When Chen Laiwu came over, he brought several packets of candied fruits as a greeting gift and called Qian Xiaowu to take them away.

"Throw it on the street?" Qian Xiaowu asked. A few packets of candied fruits are only worth thirty or fifty coppers. Qian Xiaowu felt that even if he, a poor man, came to thank the gift, it would be too light. That guy Chen Laiwu said

Lin was very polite, but the gift was given too lightly. Qian Xiaowu didn't understand why Lin Fu had to deal with Chen Laiwu for so long.

"No, people are hated, but things are not hated," Lin Fu said with a smile, "Send one to Miss Liu, and share the rest with you. Don't waste the good stuff..." I thought to Chen Laiwu.

If it was true that Duke Mu's Mansion sent him to test the depth, then he must let Duke Mu's Mansion know that he could bear this slight even if he drew his sword against him.

************

Chen Laiwu came out of Dustpan Alley. There was a carriage parked on the street outside the corner of the alley. He opened the curtain and an old man in his fifties wearing a green shirt stuck his head out and asked: "How is it?"

"You didn't go in to see him. You saw how polite he was to me. He walked me out of the door. His long bow was really standard." Chen Laiwu didn't show any manners at this time, blowing his frozen blue nose.

, wiped his nose on the soles of his shoes, "I don't think Lin Juzi is a great person..."

"Heh," the old man put his hands in his sleeves, smiled and said, "Then you provoke him."

"Is there anything wrong with me to provoke him? I'm not afraid of him. I'm afraid that Zhang Yubo will peel off a layer of my skin." Chen Laiwu shook his head and asked, "Who wants to test his underwater skills? Is it my husband?"

"You don't have to ask anymore," the old man said, "You should restrain yourself at Zangjin Bridge. Zhang Yubo really wants to arrest you and skin you, so don't think about me going over to get you." After saying that, he lowered the curtain and

Instruct the driver to drive away from Dustpan Alley.

*************

Lin Fu read in the yard for a while, and Zhao Hu, Lin Jingzhong and the others came back.

Lin Jingzhong walked into the middle courtyard and saw Lin Fu sitting in the courtyard reading a book in the cold weather, and said: "Enze stayed in the shop. When we went to the shop in the morning, we passed a flat shop and wanted to go in and ask how to make Jiyunshe's sign.

, guess what?”

"What's the matter?" Lin Fu asked with a smile. When he saw Lin Jingzhong's eyebrows dancing, he must have encountered something good in the Bian'e shop.

"A group of people gathered around the Bian'e shop and were talking about the feudal affairs last night. The shopkeeper of Yutai Teahouse in the south of Cangjin Bridge was also there. Knowing that our family sells tea, he immediately asked us to send some teas to try.

The hundreds of kilograms of old tea we brought with us on this trip were all carefully preserved by the Gu family, so the quality of the tea is naturally of the highest quality. We prepared tea before noon and sent it over. The owner of Yutai Tea House happened to be there too. After trying the tea, I thought it was good.

Let us send them fifty kilograms of tea every month before the new tea comes on the market, and the price is good," Lin Jingzhong said with excitement, "To be honest, I was a little scared at the Fan Tower last night, but if I can

Thinking of the immediate benefits that can be achieved today, I might even say some heroic words at that time. I will go see Uncle Mengde later to see if the warehouse can lend us a thousand kilograms of tea for emergency use..."

There are still four months until the new tea will be launched next year. During these four months, Jiyunshe can only get more than a thousand kilograms of old tea from the Gu family. Today, Yutai Teahouse will sell 20% of its sales. No wonder Lin Jingzhong is so excited.

Jiyunshe hasn't officially opened yet. Jiyunshe gets tea from the Gu family. Even if the price is increased by 30% on the basis of Linji Warehouse, ordinary high-froth tea only costs 80 yuan per pound, and it is shipped to Jiangning for sale.

That's two hundred dollars. As long as the sales are smooth, when the new tea comes on the market next year, the Gu family's 40,000 yuan of tea will be shipped to Jiangning, and it will be worth three or four thousand silver in profit, even if Gu Wuchen, Zhang Yubo and others take away the interest on silver stocks and various contributions elsewhere.

, there is also a net loss of two thousand taels of silver here, which is something Lin Jingzhong, who used to get one tael of silver every month from Lin Ji Warehouse, never dared to think about before.

Lin Fu laughed. Without this benefit, why would he have mentioned the name of Jiyun Society when he locked Fan Zhimei's throat last night? In two days, most of the people in Jiangning City would know about Jiyun Society and Qingfengxing.

, don’t deal with the feudal lord.

Lin Jingzhong asked again: "By the way, how many enemies do you think Qingfengxing and Fanlou have in Jiangning City?"

"You need to pay careful attention to this in the future," Lin Fu told Lin Jingzhong about Chen Laiwu's visit just now. "Nowadays, we must pay attention to the golden mean. Unless we can kill the enemy at once, otherwise we will hate you to death."

, on the surface they are still in harmony, this is called not losing decency. The enemies of Qingfengxing and Fanlou in Jiangning City do not want to lose their decency. Maybe they dare not confront Qingfengxing and Fanlou as enemies, but in their hearts

But they hope that someone will come forward to disgust them and attack Qingfengxing and the vassal. We have just come to Jiangning to establish ourselves, but there is nothing to be ashamed of. The worst is to slap our butts and get out of Jiangning City..."

Lin Jingzhong thought about it. People who have nothing are the most courageous. If they really want to fight for wealth and glory in Jiangning, how can they succeed if they are too timid? It's just easier said than done. Lin Jingzhong knew he was in trouble but didn't have the courage. In the past

He was very conceited, and when he read history, he didn’t think there was anything remarkable about those heroes. After experiencing these things during this period, he finally realized that the inconspicuous things about those heroes were the extraordinary qualities that ordinary people could not match. He also

I remembered something and asked, "Uncle Mengde said yesterday that he would lend us four people, but you refused. I will go see him later. If he mentions this matter again, how should I reply to him?"

Lin Fu pondered for a moment and said: "No one is going to be in this house for the time being. You can take care of other things..."

"I know, I know." Lin Jingzhong said.

In this era, local sentiments are the most cohesive thing. When serving as an official in the government, you should pay attention to the township party. When doing business and studying, you should pay attention to the township party. In shops and businesses, you should pay attention to hiring people from your hometown to do work. When serving in the army, you should also pay attention to working with your neighbors.

Even those who fell off the grass became bandits and those who went to sea to become bandits were usually done by people from the countryside.

Over the past hundred years since the establishment of the business, this has become a deeply rooted tradition.

Lin Jingzhong, Gu Tianqiao, and Zhao Hu brought two apprentices from the Gu family last time, and Zhao Hu brought his younger brother with him. This is the reason. Lin Fu proposed to recruit soldiers from Dongyang to serve as guards in Jiangdao Prison.

Gu Wuchen was quite moved, and it was the same reason.

Things at the warehouse will be planned soon, and there will always be a problem of lack of available manpower here. Yesterday, Lin Mengde offered to lend manpower here. He was worried about Lin Fu's safety in Jiangning, and he wanted to lend four warriors to Lin Fu.

Lin Fu refused the escort; Lin Jingzhong mentioned this again at this time, hoping to borrow four experienced men from Lin Mengde to run errands.

Lin Fu then told Lin Jingzhong that he might go to Jiangdao Prison to be the prison officer. Lin Jingzhong opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise: "How can it be such a coincidence?"

"How can this be a coincidence? I have put all my effort into the position of jailer in Jiangdao Prison." Lin Fu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes," Lin Jingzhong suddenly realized, "Jiangdao Dalao is isolated outside the city, and there are no military camps to protect it. The situation in Chaotiandang in front of it is more complicated than other places in the suburbs. If others want to sit in this position, they will always ask him.

His ability and determination to do things make people feel at ease.”

"Yeah, it's not that easy to get a seat in this seat, and there's not much oil and water," Lin Fu said, "After the matter is settled, I want Mr. Zhou and Zhao Hu to help me, and I need you to handle the matter here.

Thank you for taking so much trouble. Also, be careful of Qingfengxing and the people from the feudal clan making small moves behind the scenes."
