The person who asked to see was not Hu Da, but another fat man brought by Hu Da.
This fat man was smiling. He first smiled when he saw someone, and then bowed respectfully. Lin Yutong's first impression was that this guy didn't look like an official, but more like a businessman.
In an instant, she guessed who this person was.
"Qin Yi, Commander Qin." Lin Yutong pointed to the chair at the bottom, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Qin Yi was originally dissatisfied with the fourth master, but he was suppressed by the bloody methods of the fourth master and did not dare to have any undue thoughts. After the holy driver left, he secretly wanted to see the fourth master's joke.
.As a result, once someone makes a move, he knows if he has it. With such ability, he doesn't dare to treat someone like a cowherd in the countryside. There are many people who can be ruthless, but they can be smooth and organized in their methods.
The most important thing is to get everything done. I heard that even King Zhao's staff didn't ask a single question and just said it would work. Such a mind is not something ordinary people can have.
He is scheming, ruthless, courageous, but also broad-minded. How could such a person fail to achieve great things?
Therefore, he always wanted to be subdued. But now when he was busy, he was too eager and seemed to be too good at sneaking into the camp. Now that he finally had the opportunity, he asked Hu Da to take him to see the fourth master. Who knew the fourth master
The master happened to go out. But the real decision must be made. Hu Da then pointed out a clear way and called his wife to report.
He sighed in his heart at that time. The fourth master was excellent in everything, but it might not be a good thing if he was too affectionate. Many heroes had been lost in the hands of women. He felt that he had to re-evaluate his decision.
The reason I came here today was actually to meet this lady. If she was a person who seduces people with her beauty, he would not be guilty of placing a bet on the Fourth Master.
Who knew that this woman from a farm family would give people a completely different feeling when they met her.
She walks with long steps, and she looks like she has big feet. But she doesn't look vulgar. She is only a teenager, but she has calm eyes and a calm temperament.
As for whether she is beautiful or not, he really didn't pay attention at this moment. Because if you want to use beauty to describe such a woman, it is superficial in itself.
But from a man's point of view, she is indeed a beauty. Although she is dressed plainly, without any extra pendants on her body, and her face is bare. At first glance, I feel that she is indeed beautiful.
There is also the natural aura of a superior person. Although it can be called approachable, it makes people dare not be presumptuous.
"Tea!" Lin Yutong glanced at Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng is a kid who has gained some experience. It goes without saying that tea is served to everyone who comes, and tea is served to everyone who comes. He already knows how to use tea.
Hu Da brought the tea and sat aside without talking. He naturally knew what Qin Yi was doing. After being led in, the opportunity to show off was left to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi silently took back the box in his left sleeve. There was a golden phoenix hairpin inside. The workmanship was not very good, but it was solid enough. It was made of pure gold! If this was a girl from a farm family, such a golden thing would always be there.
It's easy to please. But now for this one, he quickly took out the box from his right sleeve and said, "It's my first time to visit Madam. It's a small thing. I hope Madam won't dislike it."
Lin Yutong paused. This person was different from Hu Da, Li Fang, and Tietou. Since he seemed to be defecting now, if he didn't accept the gift, it would be a rejection. Fourth Master kept this person.
, the proof still needs to be his. So, this thing has to be continued.
So, she nodded slightly, and then Cheng Feng stepped forward, took the things over, and opened the box on the spot.
Lin Yutong said: "It's too expensive. Ebony of this quality is not very common?" Then he said to Cheng Feng, "Go get the box I asked you to collect yesterday."
Cheng Feng put the things on the table, then turned around and took a box from Duobao Pavilion.
Lin Yutong raised his chin and said, "Give it to Commander Qin."
Qin Yi blushed for a while. If he gave someone something, he would immediately give him a gift in return. This was too polite but not close enough. So he stood up and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Commander Qin, don't get me wrong." Lin Yutong smiled and said, "This is a century-old ginseng. I heard that the old lady is sick and needs old ginseng. There is a shortage of everything in the capital now. I heard that you still don't have any.
Find the right one. I happen to have one here, and I originally planned to ask someone to send it to you. You happened to be here today, so you can take it back on the way. It will save me having to send someone to make another trip."
Qin Yi was stunned. If that was the case, this was not alienation. It was obvious that people who were close to him would be so informal.
Cheng Feng opened the box, and Qin Yi took a look and saw that it was indeed an old ginseng.
Qin Yi immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you madam, this saved Qin's mother's life."
"Please get up quickly." Lin Yutong called and signaled Cheng Feng to help him up. "You are not an outsider, so there is no need to be polite. I know you are all busy people. Did you come here specially today? Did something happen?"
Qin Yi hurriedly said: "The people below are here to report that there are always strange noises at night in the house of a wealthy businessman named Chu in the west of the city. Therefore, I took people to see it. It turned out that this family was left to guard the door.
The servant was digging for the money left by the master at home. When we went there, he was really caught. A dry well in the backyard had been filled in, and several boxes of gold bars and gold cakes were dug out. There were also dozens of boxes of jewelry.
Antiques. Priceless. This news has been blocked. However, the wealthy merchants in the west of the city are afraid that every household has such a place to hide treasures."
Lin Yutong looked at the carriage leaving the city and had already guessed it. Not only the wealthy businessmen were like this, but also the officials.
"Let's go! Let's take a look." Lin Yutong said and led the people out. Just as he went out, he met the Fourth Master who was coming back.
Lin Yutong explained the matter in a few words. The fourth master glanced at Qin Yi and praised: "Well done!"
With that said, he didn't go home, he got on his horse again, took Lin Yutong and Qin Yi, and headed towards the west of the city.
Seeing what he had worked hard to get out of the well, the fourth master looked at Qin Yi and said, "Are you familiar with the Chu family?"
Qin Yi nodded, "Familiar. This Chu family is in the silk and satin business..."
Fourth Master nodded, "That's great. In your name, write a letter to the Chu family. Tell them that we will do a business deal with him."
"Business?" Qin Yi looked at Fourth Master, "What business?"
The fourth master looked at the gold and silver in front of him and said, "Ask the Chu family to buy grain in the south. Even if it is wheat bran, old rice, bean dregs, as long as it is edible, we will buy it at the price of new rice..."
"That's a shame!" Qin Yi's eyes widened instantly.
Lin Yutong kicked the box at his feet, "I bought it with their money. What's the loss?"
Qin Yi suddenly realized. Isn't this a white wolf with nothing?
One cent of wheat bran is paid as ten cents of new rice. In fact, it is equivalent to transporting 90% of the money to the Chu family to the south of the Yangtze River. Even if the escort agency is hired to escort, the fee will be more than just 10%. The Chu family must be sure
I'm glad. Moreover, only purchasing these bad grains will relatively not attract others' attention. But for Fourth Master, this food comes with nothing. For the victims, who cares about eating if they can eat it in large quantities.
What is.
Of course, the Chu family alone will not be able to do such a thing, but as long as the Chu family's example is made, then many large and small businesses in the west of the city will follow suit.
By then, there will be a steady stream of supplies shipped from Jiangnan.
Although the situation is tense, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. Merchants have their own way to connect north and south. Even if the river is blocked, there is still a way for people to come and go. This relationship can still be opened up.
War cannot stop merchants from pursuing profits. This may seem dangerous, but it lurks huge business opportunities. As long as merchants find that this path can work, even if it is not for the sake of their family's industry, it will only be for the sake of the price difference between the goods from the north and the south.
If the profits are high, they will sell things one after another.
Only then will the capital city be truly revitalized. In other words, not only will the capital city be revitalized, but the entire northern region will be revitalized. With the food provided for disaster relief, it will be able to survive this year and a half, and the grain harvest will be harvested next autumn.
, it can be said that it has slowed down.
And what did Fourth Master pay in the process? Nothing. The only thing he did was not covet these gold and silver treasures, and not take them all as his own.
If gold and silver are not valued, then what do people value?
Qin Yi kowtowed solemnly to the fourth master, "I understand, I will write a letter tonight and ask our people to deliver it in person tomorrow. Don't worry, fourth master, not a single brick or tile will be lost in this area in the west of the city. Baojun will take care of the matter."
All right."
The Fourth Master nodded, "Let's go ahead and do it. If you need anything, go to the house. Even if I'm not here, my wife will always be there."
Qin Yi felt happy, as he fully accepted it.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief when they returned from the west of the city.
"Is everything going well?" Lin Yutong asked about going outside the city.
The fourth master nodded, "Nothing difficult? The discounts have been sent out." After saying that, he turned around and told Li Jian, "Go and invite Mr. Fang Changqing and ask him to have tea."
Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master, "What's wrong? Is there something you want him to do?"
"Without his cooperation, Qin Yi's affairs would not have gone smoothly." The fourth master sighed, "The merchants are buying Chen Liang, the amount is too big and too eye-catching. Please ask him to write a letter to his old owner, King Zhao.
Believe it."
Lin Yutong suddenly understood, and then said softly: "It will be the death anniversary of Mrs. Jiang's father and brother in two days. How about we go and pay homage?"
The fourth master was stunned and nodded, "It should be."
Originally, she wanted to worship quietly, but it only involved the purchase of food in the south, so she had to make the matter public. Even if Mr. Zhang Ge would not support it, he could at least see it.
