In the Marquis’ Mansion.

"Sir, I just got the news that all the people from the five surnames and seven hopes are gathered."

Pang Tong came to Lin Fan to report on the affairs of the five surnames and seven hopes.

"Oh! Have you been gathered? I guess I'll discuss how to deal with me."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Sir, what will you do if they unite and ask you to give them property in Zhenzhou City?"

Pang Tong asked.

"If they didn't discuss it together and came to see me directly, I might be able to give them some industries for free, but if they discussed countermeasures together, I can't make them get what they want."

Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

“How to do it?”

Pang Tong asked.

"It's very simple. They need to open an industry in Zhenzhou City and buy houses at a high price, otherwise they will get nothing."

Lin Fan smiled.

"Sir, if the five surnames and seven hopes are not enough to buy salt, we will also suffer great resistance if we want to open shops in various places."

Pang Tong said.

"You are wrong. If you don't cooperate with us, the five surnames and Qiwang will lose everything, because their current opponent is not me, but my old father-in-law."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

kindness!

Pang Tong changed his mind and figured out what Lin Fan meant.

yes!

The biggest enemy of the five surnames and Qiwang is actually Your Majesty. If Lin Fan gave Jingyan's business to Your Majesty, the situation where the five surnames and Qiwang monopolize the materials will almost be broken.

Once this happens, their heels and feet in the court will be quickly removed. At that time, His Majesty will increase their taxes and force them to hand over some of their property, and they will obey their orders.

"Sir, you are so calculating!"

Pang Tong said.

"Haha! All of this is because the Lu family is smart and clever. If they don't go to Chang'an City to find my father-in-law, the less I would have thought of this."

Lin Fan sneered.

On the second day, the five surnames and seven hopes came to the door again, and Lin Fan met them in the meeting hall.

Except for the Lu family, there are all six major families. The head of the Boling Cui family took action personally, which shows how much he values ​​him.

"Mr. Wuhou, it is a great honor to see you today!"

When they saw Lin Fan, several clan elders said.

Only Luke just bowed slightly to Lin Fan. Lin Fan didn't care and said with a smile: "Today, people from the five surnames and seven hopes gathered in my Marquis' Mansion to give Lin a face."

"You are welcome to be polite. You are the Marquis of Wu and are on par with Marquis of Yongwu and others. You are the pillar version of my Tang Dynasty. It is our honor to be able to enter the Marquis of Wu's Mansion."

Wang Xing said with a smile.

"Yes, the threshold for the Wuhou Mansion is extremely high. It is not easy for us to come in once. Lord Wuhou, let's get straight to the point and talk about the salty matter."

Li Meng said in a deep voice.

Lin Fan knew that this person should be from the Li family in Zhaojun. Yesterday, he turned him out and he kept a grudge against it.

"My Cui family attaches great importance to Jingyan's business. I heard that Lord Lin means that we want to open a core industry in Zhenzhou City, and this is absolutely fine."

Cui Qinghe said with a smile.

When Lin Fan heard him say that he was from the Cui family, he looked at him more. He knew that the head of the Cui family had come in person and was full of sincerity.

However, Lin Fan also knew that the reason why the head of the Cui family came here in person was because there were too few people in the family who could be of great use.

"So you are the head of the Cui family. Fortunately, you are. It seems that your status is the highest among the people you will sit in again."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

The other people's faces were all curled up, and they looked at Cui Qinghe's face, with a little hostility. Lin Fan said again: "Jingyan's business is actually just about long-term. In fact, I have other businesses here."

kindness?

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by other businesses?"

Wang Xing asked.

"In addition to the salt business, I also have grain business, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and I also have a seed of a crop called pepper."

"This is a seasoning, which tastes very spicy and unique. If you put some in when stir-frying, it tastes great. If you put some in when stewing meat, it tastes better."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"chili?"

A group of people were puzzled.

"That's right, it's chili. This crop is not very popular in the Tang Dynasty today. But I have seeds here, which I can give to you for free."

Lin Fan said.

Since we are talking about business, we naturally want to give these people some sweetness.

When Lin Fan heard that it was given for free, everyone present smiled. Then, Lin Fan said: "Of course, this pepper is given for free, and fine salt cannot be free. Now, my Zhenzhou City has just built a wall, and you have also seen that there is a large open area in the city."

"If anyone who is willing to invest in the construction will give you this salty business. Of course, it is best for you to invest in the construction together, so the risk will be smaller."

Lin Fan said.

"What! You want us to build the remaining vacant lot?"

A group of people said in shock.

Lin Fan said: "I have cement and bricks, but in fact, the investment in building a building is not very big. If you seven major families join forces to build that open space, it will be absolutely fine."

"Ahem! Lord Lin, let's talk about other conditions, we can't meet this condition!"

Wang Xing coughed twice and said.

"If this is the case, then there is only this. I will choose three families from you to trade with me for a salt-salt business. Of course, this is not just for you three families. My Tang Dynasty government also wants to sell salt-salt."

Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

hiss!

It's indeed here!

Lin Fan really threatened himself by selling salt from the official!

"This matter is absolutely not possible! We think that this fine salt business is sold by the official, which is absolutely impossible!"

Li Meng said.

"But you can't meet my conditions. Instead of letting you make money, it's better to let the court make money, so that the country can have money and be stable and prosperous."

Lin Fan said.

"Mr. Wuhou, my Li family has invested in this investment in Zhenzhou City. As long as you give Jingyan business only to our Li family, our family will invest in the remaining construction of Zhenzhou City!"

Li Meng said gritting his teeth.

Although it is difficult to achieve this with the current financial resources of the Li family, building a house is not something that can be built overnight, and investment can be invested in batches.

With the powerful financial aid of Jingyan, you should be able to keep up. In this way, the Li family only needs a period of hard work to surpass the other six families.

"Haha! The courage of the Li family in Zhaojun is really great. The people of my Longxi Li family are not vegetarians. Lord Lin, if we can give us a unique business, our Longxi Li family can not only invest in building houses, but also open all the core industries of the Longxi Li family here."

The people from the Li family in Longxi spoke.
Chapter completed!
