When Liu Han arrived at the Yanhao, Jin Liang was drinking tea in the store, looking very leisurely, and when he saw Liu Han coming in in a hurry, he couldn't help but wonder a little.

"What's wrong?" Jin Liang asked curiously as he asked the guy for tea.

"I met Saim just now," Liu Han didn't hide anything, and went straight to the loan agreement negotiated with Saim, and then said: "Saim said that he once made an agreement with you, but Huaiyang will intervene, Brother Jin, is there such a thing?"

Jin Liang looked at him with some surprise, and sighed half-loudly: "Eight cents, one point, one point and two points, Brother Wu, Brother Wu, this shopkeeper should be made by you." ”

After finishing speaking, Jin Liang then sighed deeply and explained: "At the beginning, I negotiated with Huitong Qianzhuang, the interest was two cents, with silver for a month, and borrowed five thousand taels of silver, just the day before yesterday, after we broke up, Huainan would find me and be willing to pay one point and eight, however, all our goods were sold to them, and the price was one percent lower than the market, but they also said that they would ensure the safety of our salt goods." ”

Jin Liang said and took out a contract, Liu Han took it and looked at it, the contract was very simple, there were only three, however, there was no clause to ensure the safety of the goods.

"Why didn't you mention this the last time we met?" asked Liu Han.

Jin Liang chuckled in his heart, he understood a little, Liu Han was probably angry about this, he hesitated and was about to answer, Liu Han interrupted him and said: "Brother Gu and I handed over the salt number to you, which is to trust you, but you should also inform us of such a major matter." ”

"Alas, you and Brother Gu Shenlong can't see each other, I'll go there to find you. Jin Liang argued with some grievances.

Liu Han shook his head: "Brother Jin, this is not a reason, the three of us have joined forces, there must be rules and regulations, and the number of external loans is regulated, according to the system, less than 10,000 taels, you don't need the consent of me and Brother Gu, but you must obtain the consent of me and Brother Gu's representatives." ”

Jin Liang didn't answer, the representative of Gu Heng's faction is the bookkeeper in the store, called Gu Fen, and the representative of Liu Han is called Zhang Liang, who is now in Yantian, Gu Fen is in the store, and he can talk at any time, but Zhang Liang is in the field, and when he comes back, it will be too late.

But this is not easy to explain, Jin Liang hesitated and said: "I showed it to Gu Fen, and he agreed." ”

Liu Han nodded: "Okay, this matter is over, I should send another person to the store, and I will be the second shopkeeper." ”

Jin Liang hesitated and asked cautiously, "This, does Brother Gu agree?"

"He went to Jiankang, and when he comes back, we will discuss this matter again," Liu Han looked a little arbitrary, looking at Jin Liang's expression, he felt that he was not too ruthless, so he changed his tone and comforted: "Brother Jin, the basis of cooperation is trust, and the basis of trust is rules and regulations, let's do things according to the rules and regulations, right?" ”

Jin Liang nodded: "Yes, I was in a hurry to do this." ”

Liu Han nodded: "That's right, it's too hasty, just pay attention next time." Okay, now let's talk about the Huaiyang Society. ”

"This Huaiyang Association is our two major gangs in Yangzhou, the Cao Gang and the Huaiyang Association,"

"Stop," Liu Han hurriedly said: "I know what kind of organization Huaiyang will be, and I also know what his business is, what is the name of the person they sent, and what is their identity?"

"The person who came is called Ji Ning, he is the shopkeeper of Yinfang, this Yinfang is a casino, the casino of Huaiyanghui, almost everyone in Yangzhou City knows it. ”

Liu Han thought for a while: "Have you ever seen the leader of the Huaiyang Society?"

Jin Liang shook his head: "Few people have seen it, this person is a bit mysterious, some people say that he lives on the island of Changchun Lake, but at the end of the day, there are many rumors, no one knows." ”

Liu Han remembered that when he was looking for the nest of the Hundred Workshops in Changchun Lake, he almost turned over the entire Changchun Lake, but he didn't find anything, he didn't find the Hundred Workshops, and he didn't find anything else, including the Huaiyang Society.

"In addition to this silver fang, what other public industries does the Huaiyang Society have?"

Jin Liang shook his head: "I don't know about this, I'm afraid I have to ask the Cao Gang to find out." ”

Liu Han lowered his head silently, Jin Liang was a little uneasy, and a little panicked, this salt number was funded by three people, originally worried about insufficient funds, Gu Heng found a grain merchant Ma Yue, but in the end Ma Yue felt that there was little hope, and he withdrew, so now there are three left, among these three, Jin Liang has the least shares, if Liu Han and Gu Heng doubt him, the result is that this golden hen who can lay eggs is someone else's.

"Brother Wu, you... , I'm ,..." Jin Liang hesitated and said, Liu Han looked up at him, suddenly understood, smiled at him and said: "Oh, it has nothing to do with you, this matter is like this, my agreement with Saim is that if there is a shortage of silver in the future, I will go to Tonghui Money Bank, and I will talk to Brother Gu about this matter." ”

Jin Liang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to compliment a few words, but Liu Han said again: "However, our salt will be handed over to the Huaiyang Society, and the price will be one percent lower, which is not appropriate, well, I will meet this Ji Ning." ”

"Brother Wu, Brother Wu," Jin Liang was suddenly a little nervous: "This Huaiyang Association is just a bunch of smuggler salt dealers, and they eat all the rice that licks blood with knives, Brother Wu, forget it this time." ”

"Let's talk count, since we promised them, this time we will go according to the agreement reached, but it can't be later, Brother Jin, there is a problem with your agreement, and you didn't write the time. Liu Han tapped his finger on the agreement.

Jin Liang's brain almost exploded, and when he looked at it, sure enough, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This loophole is too big, Liu Han frowned and looked at him, feeling that he shouldn't have made such a mistake.

During this time, Jin Liang was under a lot of pressure, there was so much silver, buying salt pans, tidying up salt pans, winter is the best time to tidy up salt pans, after winter, spring, salt pans can be put into production; production equipment, buying coarse salt, these all cost silver, but after buying salt pans, the silver is almost the same, and now the silver to maintain the operation of the salt is borrowed by him.

"I, I," Jin Liang felt a little aggrieved: "Brother Wu, we don't have enough silver! You calculate, after Ma Yue withdrew, the three of us invested a total of more than 80,000 taels of silver, and after buying the salt field, there were more than 5,000 taels of silver left, and the salt field must be sorted out, which would cost more than 3,000 taels, and the machinery and equipment would cost more than 1,000 taels, and the remaining silver would be less than 1,000 taels. ”

Jin Liang let out a long sigh, Liu Han also sighed, and patted him on the shoulder: "I know it's difficult for you, don't worry, Brother Gu and I won't treat you badly, this time it's just a mistake, the silver is not enough, it doesn't matter, this Huitong Money Village is opened, we won't lack silver." ”

Liu Han picked up the paper agreement, looked at it, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and meet the leader of the Huaiyang Society." ”

"Brother Wu, you have to be careful. Jin Liang hurriedly stood up and reminded.

Liu Han smiled, didn't say much, and turned around and went out.

Yinfang, in the wicker alley in the north of Yangzhou City, originally this was the location of Yangzhou Prefecture Silver Library, and later the Silver Bank moved away, this area became the place of Qinglou Casino, which is the most lively place in Yangzhou.

The house of Yinfang is the silver treasury of the year, after Huaiyang will buy it, the house has been sorted out and expanded, and the original relatively narrow lintel has been expanded and renovated, becoming very tall and wide.

The casino is also very large, the whole casino is divided into two floors, the upper floor is a private room, there is a notice at the stairs, the upstairs gambling game bets at least ten taels of silver per game, and the downstairs is arbitrary.

After Liu Han came in, he looked around first, although it was still early, there were already hundreds of people downstairs, each shouting around the gambling table, and from time to time there were surprised laughter and frustrated wails.

"This brother," Liu Han didn't have the heart to gamble money, with his cultivation, the next gambling was to bully them, he quickly found a man in black who was watching, Liu Han hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask Brother Ji Ning if he is there?"

The man in black looked at him and asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for Ji Ye to do?"

"I'm going to talk to him about something. Liu Han said, the man in black frowned slightly, looked at him again and said, "Ji Ye hasn't come yet, just wait." ”

"Brother, when will Ji Ye come?" asked Liu Han.

The man in black was a little impatient: "I don't know, if you come, you will naturally come, just wait." ”

Liu Han was secretly angry in his heart, any shrimp dared to speak to Lao Tzu, he smiled, turned around and walked towards the gambling table, a man in green clothes came over and asked the man in black in a low voice What is the matter.

"It's okay, I guess I want to borrow money from Ji Ye, but this guy hasn't seen it before, and he's a new face. The man in black said casually.

The man in Tsing Yi looked at Liu Han's back, thought about it slightly, and didn't care.

But the man in Tsing Yi turned around and came back, and found that something was wrong, there was a gambling table surrounded by a circle of people, he hurriedly went upstairs, stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked down, and saw Liu Han standing in the inner wall, surrounded by a large number of people around him, this situation he was very familiar with, obviously, those guys were following the bank, that is, following the winner to bet.

The man in Tsing Yi looked at the dealer's hand and began to tremble, shook the color cup, and put it down heavily, Liu Han casually put a stack of silver tickets on the big one, and the people behind him followed, and soon the silver tickets were piled up on the big one.

"Lai Ye, this kid is not good!" a man in black leaned over next to him and said.

Lai Ye's face was gloomy, and he was not good, it was needless to say, but he couldn't think of who this person was, could it be the master invited by the opponent? When did such a person appear on the Yangzhou realm?

"This kid is quite timid, and he just came to our field to stir up trouble. ”

Lai Ye still didn't speak, he was still watching, he didn't have three points of ability, how could he dare to go to Yinfang to stir up trouble, don't worry, take a look first.

Liu Han continued to win, he didn't shy away at all, he was very high-profile, he didn't lose, and every time he was all down, the dealer really couldn't stand it, looked up and looked around, and cast a look for help to Lai Ye upstairs.

Lai Ye felt that he couldn't show up, so he went downstairs and walked towards Liu Han, and the gamblers around Liu Han all knew him, and while talking in a low voice, he flashed a way.

"This brother is so lucky, I don't want to play upstairs. ”

Liu Han looked at him and nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

The surrounding gamblers watched Liu Han go upstairs with Lai Ye with pity, Lai Ye pushed open a door, Liu Han went in defenselessly, but there was no one in the room.

Liu Han didn't care at all, sat down on the chair casually, looked at the neat pai gow on the platform, neatly dressed, and raised his eyes to look at Lai Ye, his eyes were calm like water.

"This brother is short-sighted, and he still asks how to call Brother Tai?"
