It's late September, the weather is getting cooler, and it's getting darker early.

When he returned to Leizhou City, it was already dark, and Lin Haoran did not return to the government directly, but turned to Guangchao North Street and went directly to the restaurant around the City God Temple. This restaurant is called Changlin Restaurant, which is the largest restaurant in Leizhou City.

Lin Haoran led the tiger girl to the second floor, and before the people reached the largest private room, a group of people came out from inside. Most of these people are dressed as outsiders, and a few of them are acquaintances of Lin Haoran.

Gu Qingfeng, who was dressed as a brother-in-law, was squeezed at the back of the crowd, and saluted respectfully with everyone, feeling helpless in his heart.

He followed Lin Haoran to participate in the county examination, but now he has not even fished the fame of a child, but the one in front of him has already won the champion, and now he is the prefect of Leizhou, who governs hundreds of thousands of people.

It's just that this doesn't seem to be the point, and his father focused on the matter of "settling the insurance together", and praised him a lot, allowing him to firmly grasp this relationship.

"Brother Gu, you and I don't need to be so restrained!" Lin Haoran returned the salute to the others, and then came directly to Gu Qingfeng, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder and said closely.

The two met in the county test, and then this person entered the dye industry and has been providing dyes for Changlin Village. Although the two hadn't seen each other for a few days, they still retained that sense of closeness.

Among Zhao Dongcheng, Jiang Ronghua, and Gu Qingfeng, Gu Qingfeng's knowledge is undoubtedly the worst, but he is the most business-talented person among the three, and the dye workshop has been made famous by him.

When Gu Qingfeng heard this, he instantly felt flattered.

In the same sentence, if he participated in the county examination and the government examination together, Lin Haoran would be a, but now that he said it as the prefect of Leizhou, it would be enough for him to be grateful.

For businessmen, a well-known county must be careful, not to mention a prefect from Hanlin. This man not only controls the wealth of their merchants, but also their life and death.

Especially today, his father is present, which makes him more face-saving, and he will definitely be rewarded when he goes back, and he will also get stronger support from his family in the future, and even be the successor of the family.

But at this moment, a light cough came from behind him.

Gu Qingfeng immediately reacted, and hurriedly raised his hand respectfully and said, "Fuzun...... Brother Lin, please take a seat! ”

Lin Haoran watched him change his words, and his face improved. Now that he is the prefect of Leizhou, he naturally does not need to pretend to give in, so he walked directly to the first seat and sat down.

Today's cocktail party has Gu Qingfeng's mixture, and it was also initiated by him, so he naturally came with some purposes.

Too many of the people who participated in this banquet were old acquaintances, or maybe people with some connections.

Gu Qingfeng's father Gu Mancang is a well-known rice merchant in western Guangdong, Zhao Dongcheng's father Zhao Fugui is in the cloth business, Shen Liuye is in Dianbai County to trade, and there are three businessmen in western Guangdong, which is an extension of the relationship when he was in the capital, including the patriarch of Zhang Yishan in Lianzhou Prefecture.

After taking a seat, the dishes were quickly served, and they were all exquisite Cantonese and Western dishes.

Lin Haoran went outside the city for a busy day today, and just ate the pastries he brought over, and at this time his stomach was already a little hungry, so he picked up a meatball for Hu Niu, and he also sandipped one.

The tiger girl was not polite, first gently biting the meatballs with her teeth, letting the hot soup dissipate the heat, puffing up her cheeks and blowing, and then devouring it again.

She likes to stay by her brother's side, listen to big and small things, and prefer his brother's meticulous care for her.

"Come, it's rare for this official to gather with you, let's drink this cup together!"

Lin Haoran knew that he couldn't patronize and eat, so he raised his wine glass and said to the others.

Everyone stood up one after another, their attitudes were very modest, and their faces were all flattering. Not to mention the future of the young prefect in front of them, the benefits that have appeared now alone are enough to make them salivate.

The Chen family was destroyed, Jia Bao was cleared, and there were many business opportunities in the entire Leizhou City.

As far as salt is concerned, it used to be monopolized by the Chen family, but now it has become a blank market. In particular, there are several salt farms in Leizhou Prefecture, and the transportation is quite convenient, as long as you can get salt from the Haibei Salt Division, this is the golden place.

In addition to salt, the same is true of the rice market in Leizhou City, which was previously controlled by Jia Bao.

It's just that whether it is a salt shop or a rice shop, as outsiders, if they don't have Lin Haoran's support, they will definitely do it. Even if Jia Bao is gone, there will definitely be other local forces rising, which all need Lin Haoran's protection.

was summoned by Lin Haoran this time, although they don't know what he was planning, they also had expectations in their hearts, hoping to get a share of Leizhou Mansion.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Lin Haoran looked at their appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, so he took the initiative to pick up the topic and said: "Outside the valley, I heard Brother Qingfeng say that you intend to open a rice shop in Leizhou City?" ”

"The grass people have this intention, I don't know if Governor Lin thinks it's okay?" Gu Mangu put down his chopsticks and looked at him expectantly.

Lin Haoran knew that this answer was clever, presumably this Gu Mancang was definitely a shrewd businessman, and he didn't mean to lose his appetite, so he first glanced at Gu Qingfeng, and then smiled slightly: "It's okay!" But this rice is expensive and hurts the people, and the price of this rice must not be too high! ”

"Definitely! Certain! The barn's eyes immediately lit up.

This Leizhou City has always been a market he covets, but due to Jia Bao's existence and lack of official connections, even if he has great financial resources, he can only be daunted.

But now that the opportunity has appeared, how can he not be ecstatic. With the support of the prefect of Leizhou, his rice shop will not only enter Leizhou City, but also cover the entire Leizhou Prefecture area, giving him the opportunity to become the largest rice merchant in the entire western Guangdong.

Gu Mancang gave Gu Qingfeng a look, then picked up his wine glass and stood up and said with a smile: "In the future, I will be lazy and the prefect will take care of me, my father and son will give the lord a glass, and I wish the lord a bright future!" ”

Gu Qingfeng looked at Lin Haoran gratefully, knowing that this matter must be done, then his position in the family would be untouchable.

When the other people present saw this result, they also exchanged glances, and their eyes couldn't hide their joy. They vaguely felt that the young prefect was not pedantic, and had the wisdom of finding people, and was willing to share the benefits with them.

"Gu Yuan is polite!" Lin Haoran picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.

Although he is now noble, if he wants to become an evergreen tree, it is to establish a circle. Although this circle needs him to take care of it now, it may not be able to feed back to him in the future.
