So Fang Linyan pondered for a moment and said to Tian Mogeng simply:
"These two weapons are very evil and have a chilling aura on them, so I have to find a quiet place where no one will disturb me to study them alone."
"Of course, as collateral, I will keep Fujiyama and Shihua's female room. The research time will not exceed two minutes, and then I can decide whether to trade."
Of course, Tian Mogeng had no reason to refuse Fang Linyan's request, and Fang Linyan was not a procrastinator. After confirming that the mental tentacles could trigger the suit's effect by using Miaofa Muramasa, he simply nodded and reached a deal with him.
Fang Linyan even promised Boss Tian that if the address he gave for the fragments of "Shihua Women's Room" was wrong, he could come to him to argue with him.
Now that the two parties have reached a deal, it will definitely be a great time for the guest and the host. When he learned that Tian Mogeng would also be involved in real estate transactions, Fang Linyan took out the dropped land deed and asked Boss Tian if he was interested.
The detailed introduction of this thing is that the land deed of Zegou Township in Dongpingfu is a certificate of holding 74 acres of high-quality irrigated land here.
Boss Tian's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it. Fang Linyan was an outsider and didn't know the value of this land deed. However, only people in the industry knew how rare this land deed was, not just because the land was cultivated.
Hundreds of years of fertile land, mature land!
What's more, because it is connected into a piece, it is a whole. Whether it is collecting rent, irrigating, or planting crops, it has its own great advantages.
In a place like this that has been operated for hundreds of years, the land is often scattered scattered, because when selling land, the owner often has ten acres of land, and will sell one acre in an emergency.
After spending all the money in a few years, sell another acre...
When selling land, it is easy to break it into whole pieces, but it is difficult to break it into whole pieces again.
These seventy-four acres of land were actually the result of nearly twenty years of hard work by the bald Xie Peng. He had finally amassed such a large piece of land through coercion, inducement, and plunder, but he did not want to take advantage of Fang Linyan.
Fortunately, Boss Tian was also an honest person. He told Fang Linyan all the details inside, and then took the initiative to pay an extra 30% for the land deed, and frankly admitted that he made 20% from it.
Fang Linyan had no objection to this. His purpose was very simple, he just wanted to cash in on a tight budget. Since Lao Tian was an honest person, he sold it to him.
However, Fang Linyan also knew very well that Tian Mogeng's sincerity was only for others. He was from a wealthy family, and if he could easily bring out rare treasures like Mount Fuji, then of course he was reasonable and well-behaved.
Otherwise, now that Fang Linyan has a very close relationship with the Qiao family, he has suffered a loss here. If he goes back to talk to the Qiao family, it is estimated that there will be rumors and related legends about Boss Tianjintian in the mall before long:
Dear friend, this Tianjin boss is not sincere. Even Mr. Hu Zhiyong’s descendants are trying to trick and deceive him. I’m afraid this person’s character is not very good.
At this time, there was no such thing as a contract in the Chinese business world. Even a transaction involving dozens or millions of silver taels was decided with one word after the shopkeepers of both parties came forward. This trading model relied heavily on its own credibility.
Faced with people who have the ability to destroy his credibility, Boss Tian is of course amiable and generous to others.
Try it with someone else?
Not to mention ordinary people, even the bald Xie Peng who comes to do business with Tian Mogeng will definitely end up being ripped off. You are a cult leader, so what if you have some power? Killing
It’s just a country bumpkin like you!
So what if such a notorious bandit suffers a loss, or if he goes out and talks nonsense?
My Lao Tian family has built up a good reputation through three generations of merchants. Why do the people in the Chamber of Commerce believe you or not me?
After the two parties concluded the deal, it can be said that both parties were very satisfied. Fang Linyan suddenly said after taking a sip of tea:
"Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask Boss Tian."
Of course, Tian Mogeng did not dare to take the big shot in front of Fang Linyan, and immediately said:
"I don't mind asking for advice. Please tell me what my nephew has to say. Can you please refer to it?"
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"One of the bosses of Jiuwentian's Jingutang, Ren Chaofeng, is very good at identifying the dates of ancient objects. He is known to be able to tell the truth with a single word. Not only that, he is also very knowledgeable in bronze inscriptions and bone inscriptions."
Tian Mogeng said with a smile:
"Lao Ren is indeed very powerful. He was originally a son of a wealthy family, but he was born in a wealthy family. He just broke up his family when he became an adult."
Fang Linyan continued:
"To be honest, I happen to have an ancient artifact of unknown origin in my hands. I would like to ask an expert to come and tell the story of the origin... I came in a hurry and I was a bit presumptuous. I didn't prepare a gift, so I just
It can be a bit tacky."
Then he pushed over a two hundred tael silver note. Tian Mogeng hurriedly declined. Fortunately, Ren Chaofeng came over soon. He seemed a little reluctant at first.
But after seeing the ancient seal that Fang Linyan took out, his eyes immediately opened wide. After a few more glances, his face suddenly changed! He even staggered and seemed about to fall down...
...
***
After getting enough bargains in Tianjin, Fang Linyan took Li San back to Jimin Medicine Store.
Then Fang Linyan got another surprise, because a burly middle-aged man was sitting and drinking tea at the medicine store. After seeing Fang Linyan, he immediately stood up. This man was none other than Wang Wu.
Fang Linyan stepped forward quickly and said in surprise:
"Fifth brother! When did you come back?"
Wang Wudao:
"Master Song did not go to London. After he arrived at the British and French Concession in Shanghai, he found that there were several acquaintances here, and with your support, he had enough money, so he began to strategize."
"And he asked me to return to the capital four days ago to deliver a secret letter, so I came back and arrived in Tianjin yesterday."
Then Wang Wu pointed to a dark and thin young man next to him and said:
"I also want to introduce a good friend to Brother Hu, Master Tan Sitong!"
This dark and thin young man was actually inconspicuous. Fang Linyan had only thought of him as Wang Wu’s disciple or follower before! But after Wang Wu introduced him, he was shocked:
Is this Tan Sitong?
Tan Sitong in Six Gentlemen of 1898?
Tan Sitong who died in Kangxi?
I am smiling to the sky from my horizontal sword, and want to leave Tan Sitong, who has both liver and gallbladder, in Kunlun?!!!
To be honest, Fang Linyan never expected that such a great god would be attracted, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him:
"My Hu Zhiyun, I have met Mr. Tan!"
Tan Sitong was a humble gentleman, and of course he was not arrogant. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him. After a few words of greeting, Fang Linyan understood the reason.
It turns out that at this time, during the crisis of Sino-Japanese War, the Qing court was still going to fight among the parties. Although Tan Sitong was full of the desire to serve the country, he could not help but get involved because his teacher Weng Tonghe was the teacher of the current emperor, so he was a natural The imperial party.
Li Gongzhang is Weng Tonghe's mortal enemy. It can be said that the two have been fighting for half their lives.
At this time, I saw that the Beiyang Army under Li Gongzhang had been defeated in North Korea, and the Japanese were even more arrogant. They even dared to attack the British father's ship, as if they wanted to ride on the head of the Beiyang Fleet. Looks like shit.
When the imperialists saw this, they immediately became excited, because if they were able to turn the tide in this situation, then it was obvious that the resources at Li Gongzhang's hands, including tariffs not limited to customs, were Factories engaged in the Westernization Movement must be handed over honestly.
At this time, although Emperor Qixiang had been in charge for seven or eight years, there was still an old Buddha hanging the curtain behind him. Basically, the emperor was just a decoration.
How humble are you usually? I wanted to say a few more words to my ministers, but Lafayette felt that the emperor's words were a bit unpalatable, so he coughed and had to shut up.
If this battle can be successful, with the power of victory, it is not impossible for Lafayette to delegate power.
Of course, most people in the imperial party have never thought about what to do if they cannot defeat the Japanese-------the Holy Emperor is above, and with divine help, he must be victorious in every battle!
As a rare pragmatist in the imperial party, Tan Sitong also knew that it was nonsense to just sit in the capital and expect to win against Japan. He had to find ways to find opportunities. He happened to be good friends with Wang Wu, and the two often ate and chatted. , and also communicate.
At first, when I heard Wang Wu talk about educating people in Song Dynasty, Tan Sitong's evaluation was a little disdainful, thinking that it was a scholar's attitude... Of course, as a famous scholar, he must have spoken more tactfully, but his actual words were :
"Su Qin and Zhang Yi are not that easy to do."
However, when he later learned that Song Yuren actually went to Shanghai, and with the support of the Hu family and the Qiao family, and brought nearly one million dollars to work in Shanghai, he was immediately moved!
Because the current imperial party can be said to be short of people and money, the only thing it can offer is "righteousness" and a few official titles. Weng Tonghe also attracted a group of Qingliu + Qixiang who was already in office The emperor can pull the banner, so he still has some say in personnel matters.
For Fang Linyan, all the forces that can help him can be used now, not to mention Tan Sitong's character is still quite good, and his background is even more powerful.
His father, Tan Jixun, was an out-and-out feudal official. He was currently the governor of Hubei and the governor of Huguang! This is equivalent to the senior provincial official + senior official of the current HUB Province + HUN Province.
Tan Sitong was the core figure of the "Qingliu" movement at that time, and was very good at promoting public opinion.
At this time, if Tan Sitong could help Song Yuren's plan, it would be even more powerful.
So in this case, Fang Linyan had no reason to turn him away, but accepted him happily. It can be said that the two parties hit it off.
After chatting for a while, Fang Linyan suddenly thought of an anecdote. Now that he was present, he immediately said:
"Brother Tan is a well-known talent in the world. I have heard some anecdotes about you since I was a child. I am very curious and can't help but want to take the liberty to verify it in person. In the future, I will have something to talk about when friends get together."
