Lin Jian didn't expect Qian Xiaowu's old creditor, Chen Laiwu, who had put the money in Xicheng to come to visit him.

"Son-in-law......" Chen Laiwu leaned over with a shy face, "There were many offences a few days ago, and Lai Wu has come to make amends to Childe-in-law today." ”

"Lai Wuye is polite," Lin Jian handed over the horse to Zhao Mengxiong and led him to the backyard, and asked Qian Xiaowu if he knew that Zhao Hu and Lin Jingzhong had taken Chen Enze to the tea shop early in the morning and had not come back, he didn't really want to entertain Chen Laiwu, but he couldn't throw Chen Laiwu to Qian Xiaowu for entertainment, and said to Qian Xiaowu, "Did you serve tea to Lai Wuye?" He raised his feet and walked to the guest room in the front yard, thinking about taking Chen Laiwu away in the front yard. Chen Laiwu is a local snake who can't be easily offended, in the end, they lowered their posture to visit, if they offend them, maybe there won't be any big trouble, but they use some subordinate means, which can make people sick to death, this kind of person is best left to Lin Jingzhong, after all, if Jiyun Society wants to do business in Jiangning City, it can use the role of Chen Laiwu.

"No need, no need, I've had tea," Chen Laiwu said very politely, Lin Jian invited him to sit, and he just sat on the chair and stool, "I have long known that Gongzi Ye is a mixed river dragon, and he is a first-class leader, and this morning I heard that Gongzi Ye made a big fuss in the feudal mansion yesterday, and Lai Wu knew that he still looked away at Gongziye." Although Lai Wu doesn't have much knowledge, he also knows what to do to follow the back of the hero's ass, what is this called... Attach... Tail of the Attached Horse. This thief of the clan clan is not a thing, and he has done all the bad things of cutting off the door of the house and kicking the widow's door......" Chen Laiwu said a lot of bad things about the clan family in one breath, and he didn't take a breath until Qian Xiaowu brought the tea over, and said to Qian Xiaowu, "Little fifth brother, you are now the steward of the Lin Mansion, how dare you make tea?" ”

Of course, Qian Xiaowu would not have a good face with Chen Laiwu, who forced him to sell his wife to pay off his debts, handed the tea to the table, said a word to Lin Lian, and withdrew.

Lin Lian pondered Chen Laiwu's intentions, and remembered that Zhang Yubo said last night that Chen Laiwu and the steward of Muguo Mansion were aunts and cousins, and Mu Guogong, like the Marquis of Yongchang, were hereditary lords in Jiangning City, and Chen Laiwu was able to act indiscriminately in Xicheng and also relied on the power of Muguo Mansion. The Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the Muguo Mansion have been established in Jiangning for more than 200 years, and the children of the two major families also have a scale of 1,000 people. Lin Lian secretly wondered in his heart: Could Chen Laiwu, a scoundrel ruffian, be sent by the Muguo Mansion to test the depth of the water?

Lin Tie quietly took Chen Laiwu away, politely sent him out, turned back and looked at the table, Chen Laiwu brought a few packs of candied fruit as a meeting gift, and called Qian Xiaowu to deal with it.

"Thrown down the street?" Qian Xiaowu asked, a few packs of candied fruit are worth thirty or fifty coppers, Qian Xiaowu felt that even if he came over to thank him, it would be too light, Chen Laiwu's mouth was very polite, but this meeting gift was too light, Qian Xiaowu didn't understand why Lin Tie had to deal with Chen Laiwu for so long.

"No, people are hated, but things are not hated," Lin Jian said with a smile, "Send one to Miss Liu, and you can share the rest, don't spoil the good things......" I thought to myself that if Chen Laiwu was really sent by the Muguo Mansion to test the depths, then let the Muguo Mansion know that since he didn't say a word and drew his sword, he could also stand this contempt.

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

Chen Laiwu walked out of the dustpan alley, a carriage was parked on the side of the street outside the corner of the alley, and when the curtain was lifted, a fifty-year-old man in a green shirt poked his head out and asked, "How is it?" ”

"You didn't go in to see, he was polite to me, you also saw it, he sent me out of the door, that Changyi is really called a standard," Chen Laiwu didn't talk about any manners at this time, blew his frozen blue nose, and wiped the snot on the soles of his shoes, "I don't think this Lin Juzi is a great character......

"Heh," said the old man, with his hands in his sleeves, smiling, "then you provoke him." ”

"Am I messing with him? I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid that Zhang Yubo will peel off my skin. Chen Laiwu shook his head and asked again, "Who wants to test his underwater, is it the old man?" ”

"Don't ask," the old man said, "You should also be more restrained at the Zangjin Bridge, Zhang Yubo is really going to detain you and peel off a layer of skin, you don't want me to go over to catch people." With that, he lowered the curtain and told the coachman to drive away from Dustpan Alley.

***********

Lin Jian read a book in the courtyard for a while, and Zhao Hu and Lin Jingzhong came back.

Lin Jingzhong walked into the middle courtyard and saw Lin Jian sitting in the courtyard reading a book on a cold day, and said, "Enze stays in the shop." When we went to the shop in the morning, we passed by a flat forehead shop, and we wanted to go in and ask how the signboard of Jiyun Club was made, and guess what? ”

"What's wrong?" Lin Jian asked with a smile, he saw Lin Jingzhong's eyebrows fluttering, he must have encountered something good in the flat forehead shop.

"There was a group of people talking about the feudal building last night, and the shopkeeper of the Yutai Tea Shop in the south of the bridge in Zangjin was also there, knowing that our family sells tea goods, so he asked us to send a few kinds of tea to try it. The 100 catties of old tea we brought over on this trip were carefully preserved by the Gu family, and the tea quality was naturally excellent. We prepared tea before noon and sent it over, and the owner of Yutai Tea Workshop was also there, and I thought it would be okay to try the tea, so let's send them fifty catties of tea every month before the new tea went on the market, and the price was also good," Lin Jingzhong said with a fluttering eyebrow, "To be honest, I was a little scared in the domain last night, but if I could have thought of the immediate benefits of today, I might have said a few bold words at that time." I'll go see Uncle Mengde later, and see if the warehouse can borrow a thousand catties of tea for us first......"

There are still four months to wait until the new tea goes on the market next year, and in these four months, Jiyun Club can only get more than 1,000 catties of old tea from the Gu family, and Yutai Tea House will go 20% at once today, no wonder Lin Jingzhong is so excited, Jiyun Club has not officially opened yet. Jiyun Society takes tea from the Gu family, even if the price is raised by 30% on the basis of Lin Ji Warehouse, ordinary high-foam tea is only 80 yuan per catty, and the sales price of it to Jiangning is 200 yuan. As long as the sales channel is smooth, when the new tea is on the market in the coming year, and the Gu family's 40,000 tea arrives in Jiangning, it will change hands to make three or four thousand silver, even if Gu Wuchen, Zhang Yubo and others are discounted with the interest on silver stocks and various filial piety elsewhere, there will be a net loss of two thousand taels of silver here, which is something that Lin Jingzhong, who originally took one or two silver per month in the Lin Ji Warehouse, could not have imagined before.

Lin Jian laughed, if it weren't for this benefit, why did he bother to report the name of Jiyun Society when he locked Fan Zhimei's throat last night? In two days, I am afraid that most of the people in Jiangning City will know that Jiyun Society is not dealing with Qingfeng Xing and the Domain.

Lin Jingzhong asked again: "By the way, you said that in this Jiangning City, how many opponents does Qingfeng Xing have with the feudal tower?" ”

"This will have to be carefully paid attention to in the future," Lin Jian told Lin Jingzhong about the visit of Chen Laiwu, "Nowadays, we pay attention to the golden mean, unless you can kill your opponent at once, otherwise even if you hate it to death in your heart, you will still be harmonious on the surface, which is called not losing decency." Qingfeng Xing and Fan Lou in Jiangning City Those opponents don't want to lose their dignity, maybe they don't dare to face Qingfeng Xing and Fan Lou as enemies, but they hope that someone will come out for them to disgust and hit Qingfeng Xing and Fan Lou, we just came to Jiangning to gain a foothold, but there is nothing to lose in the system, it's a big deal to pat your ass and get out of Jiangning City......"

Lin Jingzhong thought about it, people who don't have anything are the most courageous, they really want to fight for wealth and glory in Jiangning, how can they succeed if they are too timid? It's just that it's easier said than done, Lin Jingzhong knew that he was in trouble but didn't have the courage, he was very conceited before, and he didn't think there was anything great about those heroes when he read history. He remembered one more thing and asked, "Uncle Mengde said yesterday that he would lend us four people, but you refused, and I will go to see him later, if he mentions this matter again, how should I reply to him?" ”

Lin Jian pondered for a moment and said, "There is no need for anyone in this house for the time being, you can do other things ......."

"Yes, yes." Lin Jingzhong said.

In this era, the local feelings are the most cohesive thing, the government and the central government pay attention to the township party, business and study tours pay attention to the township party, business shops pay attention to hiring hometown people to do work, soldiers and wars also pay attention to the township neighbors, even the grass for the cowards, the sea for bandits, is usually done by gathering villagers.

In the 100 years since the rise of the trade name, this has been a deeply rooted tradition.

Lin Jingzhong, Gu Tianqiao, and Zhao Hu went back last time and brought two apprentices from the Gu family, and Zhao Hu brought his younger brother with him, which is the reason; Lin Jian proposed to recruit soldiers from Dongyang to serve as prison guards in Jiangdao Prison, and Gu Wuchen was quite moved, which is also the reason.

The affairs of the warehouse are about to be planned, and there will always be a shortage of manpower here. Yesterday, Lin Mengde offered to lend someone to this side, because he was worried about Lin Lian's safety in Jiangning, and he borrowed four martial artists to serve as guards for Lin Lian, but Lin Lian refused; Lin Jingzhong mentioned this stubble again at this time, hoping to borrow four skilled guys from Lin Mengde to run errands.

Lin Jian told Lin Jingzhong about the fact that he might go to Jiangdao Prison to be a prison officer, Lin Jingzhong opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "How can it be so coincidental?" ”

"Where is the coincidence? For the post of prison officer of Ejima Prison, I tried my best. Lin Jian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes," Lin Jingzhong suddenly realized, "Jiangdao Prison hangs lonely outside the city, there is no military camp to protect the left and right, and the situation in front of the sky is more complicated than other suburbs. ”

"Yes, this seat is not so easy to sit securely, and there is no oil and water," Lin Jian said, "After the matter is settled, I want Zhou Ye and Zhao Hu to help me, and you will have to worry more about this matter." In addition, be careful to beware of Qingfeng Xing and the people of the clan building making small moves behind their backs. ”
