"Now that Brother Boyang is back, I have to tell you some good news."
Chen Ze motioned Qin Boyang to come closer and whispered: "The tiger talisman will arrive in Qingzhou soon. I have already obtained the management rights of Qingzhou. Once the tiger talisman arrives, I will have the final say in Qingzhou!"
When Qin Boyang heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately raised his glass and said: "If this Qingzhou falls into the hands of my virtuous brother, the people will be really blessed!"
"Those words should wait until the results come out in the future!" Chen Ze said hurriedly: "The tiger talisman should not arrive for another four or five days. Before that, I have to find a way to make some money to prepare for emergencies. Now I almost have no capital.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Boyang hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Brother, I still have some savings at home. If you need it urgently, just take it."
"Okay, bring as much as you have."
"..."
Li Yuankang's eyes widened, you are really not polite to others at all!
"I'll let Aling get it right now."
Qin Boyang didn't hesitate at all and hurriedly asked Qin's sister-in-law to get all the belongings.
After a while, Sister-in-law Qin brought a money bag.
Hearing that it was Chen Ze who needed it, Sister-in-law Qin didn't say anything. She left two taels of silver to live on and took the rest.
After counting, two hundred and sixty-two taels.
"Brother, if it's not enough, I can borrow it."
"That's almost it." Chen Ze took out the twenty taels in his arms and said, "This amount has been doubled at least four to five times!"
Li Yuankang shook his head decisively: "I don't believe it! Master, if you say it can be doubled, I will still believe it. If it is doubled four or five times... then it is a bit bragging."
Qin Boyang gave a bitter smile: "Xiandi, if you say this... I also..."
Li Yuankang said coldly: "Master, do you want to... rob the Hou Mansion?"
"Take the money to gather people and then loot the prince's mansion?"
The corner of Chen Ze's mouth twitched: "Do I have to pay someone to rob it? When the tiger talisman arrives, it will be easier for me to just rob Guan Pinghou's house. Why bother?"
"Ah? Just ransack the house?" Li Yuankang's eyes widened: "Why don't you call an army to investigate?"
"What process should I go through if I have the soldier talisman in hand?" Chen Ze drank the wine in the cup and said, "Just copy it!"
"Young Master, I'm afraid this won't work. After all, Marquis Guan Ping is a serious marquis with a hereditary title. If you just kidnapped the person when you came up, without questioning the guilt or letting the court deal with it, then Marquis Guan Ping must be punished. I’m suing you!”
Qin Boyang also said hurriedly: "My dear brother, please do not act rashly on this matter. The fierce wife of Marquis Guan Ping is from the Wu family in Qingzhou. Someone in the family is an official in the court and has a high position of power."
He lowered his voice and said: "Now the imperial court plans to take over power from the palace. Your behavior is tantamount to giving the court an excuse and reason to take over power. You must be cautious."
"What's more, Qingzhou is not only a big family of the Wu family, but also the Liu family, the Sun family, and the Zhao family."
"These four major clans are usually full of energy. When the time comes when the four major clans unite, my dear brother, no matter what you want to do, it won't be easy."
Li Yuankang on the side nodded quickly: "Master, don't be impulsive!"
"Look at how anxious you two are." Chen Ze waved his hands and said, "Don't get excited, I didn't say you'd just do it as soon as the tiger talisman arrives!"
"Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit."
"I certainly have a way to use these four major clans for my own benefit!"
Chen Ze grinned and looked down at the banknotes and coins on the table: "Now we should consider making money first."
"I have to trouble Brother Boyang about this matter."
"My dear brother, just say it."
"How many candy masters in Qingzhou do you know?"
"Making sugar?" Qin Boyang was stunned and said hurriedly: "There are no sugar masters in Qingzhou. Most of them are traders who make sugar at home and sell it."
"If it's a better candy, you have to buy official candy."
Chen Ze had already tasted the official candy in the palace. It was unpalatable and had a strange smell. It was also extremely expensive. The price inside the palace was only ten taels of silver and half a catty.
Not to mention the candy in the vendor's hand, the taste of it depends on what the vendor touched today.
"Traders can do it, but you can recognize it. It's best to be someone who has been doing it for a long time and has rich experience."
"I basically recognize all the sugar vendors in Qingzhou." Qin Boyang said hurriedly: "Many of them are even skills passed down from their ancestors."
Because the quality of the sugar itself is not very good, vendors will try their best to improve the shape and appearance of the sugar.
For example, the candy figures that Qin Jinke clamored to buy are like this. They may not be delicious, but they look good.
The small animals are all lifelike when pinched.
"There's nothing wrong with the character of these traders, right?"
"Most of them are doing business honestly, but there are also a few who are more oily." Qin Boyang said with a smile: "Jin Ke knows this matter better than me."
"Okay, then please go to Brother Boyang, I'm in Zuimanlou... Ah, forget it, it's better to save a little now and hold a banquet at the Yingke Building nearby. I'll invite those honest traders We have to eat and negotiate a big deal with them.”
When Qin Boyang heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. They are all colleagues. They even fought over the territory in the past. I invited you here. If there is a fight, it will be troublesome."
Chen Ze grinned: "It depends on whether your Brother Boyang's face is big enough."
"Brother Xian... you are really good at calling." Qin Boyang laughed and said, "I'll just go there after dinner later."
The matter was settled, Chen Ze asked Li Yuankang to go to the nearby Yingke Building to book a table.
There were at least thirty or forty people, so we booked six tables just to be on the safe side.
A table of good wine and good food only costs three taels of silver, which is much more cost-effective than Zuimanlou.
In addition, they were afraid of getting into a fight in a hurry, so they asked Zhao Ziyun to draft a few people over to calm down the situation.
As soon as the appointed time arrived, many vendors came one after another.
Qin Boyang's reputation is quite high. Besides, why don't you come to invite him to dinner?
Isn’t it nice to still have sex for free when the business can’t be settled?
Many vendors had put on their most appropriate clothes, but they were a little confused when they arrived at the guest building.
Why did you invite all your colleagues?
Some have good relationships, but some have really quarreled and fought over territory or business matters. Their faces suddenly dropped, they turned around and wanted to leave. They even scolded Qin Boyang, saying, "Aren't you disgusting?"
Qin Boyang had no choice but to block people at the door angrily.
"Brother, we really have big business to discuss today, I won't lie to you!"
"It's okay if you have trouble with others. Why do you have to have trouble with Yinzi?"
"Just don't sit at the same table, out of sight, out of mind!"
After all, he coaxed people back again, and even Qin Boyang was puzzled.
What is the purpose of investing so much money to gather these sugar vendors?
