There is a table of wine and food on the table, and three wine bottles are placed on the table.
Yu Qingchun picked up the wine bottle on the table, filled a glass for Zheng Qianhu first, then walked to Yang Yuan and filled the glass with wine.
Zheng Qianhu picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food. He suppressed the smell of alcohol and said with a smile: "You know that when Mr. Yang arrived in Tianjin, I would have already set up a banquet in the restaurant and invited Mr. Yang to the banquet. .”
"You're welcome, sir." Yang Yuan smiled and cupped his hands.
"It's not too late now!" Yu Qingchun laughed, "Shopkeeper Yang heard that Lord Qianhu had two ships, and he wanted to borrow Lord Qianhu's ship to sell their Jin iron to Japan. "
The extended chopsticks stopped and Zheng Qianhu frowned.
Yang Yuan picked up the wine glass and stood up, and said: "This matter will not let Master Qianhu work in vain. As long as Master Qianhu sends out ships and sailors, the profit of Jin Iron sold to Japan will be divided into 20%."
Yu Qingchun, who was sitting aside, persuaded: "Master Qianhu, this is a good business without any capital. You don't have to pay anything, and you can get two cents for nothing."
Zheng Qianhu shook his head slightly and said: "Not to mention the sailors on the ship, just to say that it takes a lot of time for a big ship to go to sea once. Every time it returns from the sea, it must be repaired. If it encounters pirates or huge waves, it is easy to Even if the ship sinks to the bottom of the sea with its cargo, I bear the risk."
After hearing this, Yu Qingchun, a broker, still didn't understand. It wasn't that Zheng Qianhu didn't agree, but that he thought the price was too low.
He turned back to look at Yang Yuan and said: "Shop Manager Yang, you are a master, please give in. When doing business, everyone must make a profit."
Yang Yuan looked thoughtful for a long time before saying, "Let's do this. I'll give you half a profit, two and a half, and I won't be able to do anything more."
Yu Qingchun turned back to look at Zheng Qianhu and said with a smile: "Boss Yang has already given in. Can Mr. Qianhu also give in?"
Zheng Qianhu was silent in thought, but silently calculating in his heart.
A shipload of Lingqiu Jin iron was transported to the Japanese country, and when it came back, it was a shipload of silver. The Japanese silver was not as valuable as the Ming Dynasty silver, and bringing it back to the Ming Dynasty was another huge profit.
Thinking of this, he said: "Brother Yang has said so. I can't help but give face. It's settled. I'll provide the ship and sailors. I don't know when will Brother Yang bring Jin Railway? Brother, there happens to be a ship here. pier."
"It would be great to have a ship. The common people will immediately write a letter and send someone to take it back to Lingqiu and hand it over to the owner. I believe Jintie will be delivered to Master Qianhu's ship soon." Yang Yuan said with a smile.
Zheng Qianhu smiled and said, "Then I will wait for the good news from Brother Yang."
"Don't just talk, come on, let's drink." Seeing that the two of them were talking about the same thing, Yu Qingchun raised his glass.
The three of them raised their wine glasses and clinked them in the air, draining the wine in one gulp.

Liu Heng sat in the signing room and looked through the account books of Dongshan Iron Farm and Mule and Horse Company.
At this time, Zhao Wu came in from outside, stood in front of Liu Heng, and said respectfully: "Master, just now the head of Hanzhuangzi came to Xujiazhuang and said that something happened to Han Erfu's family in their village."
Liu Hengyi frowned.
He remembered the name Han Erfu very clearly. There were 27 casualties among the Tiger Banner cavalry on the grassland, and Han Erfu was one of them.
He asked: "What happened?"
Zhao Wu recounted what Han Zhuangzi had said and mentioned Zhang Laifu and Laicai Gambling House in Lingqiu County.
Bang...Liu Heng slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "You are so brave. You dare to think about pensions. You really think that my tiger flag is just a decoration."
After thinking about this matter for a moment, he understood that Zhang Laifu colluded with the people in Laicai Gambling House, thinking that Han Erfu's family would receive a lot of pension, so they made such a trick.
"My subordinate requested to go to Lingqiu County." Zhao Wu bowed and said.
Although Han Erfu was a cavalry member of the cavalry team, he was also a member of the Tiger Flag. His family allowed others to bully him like this. He, the captain of the escort team, was filled with anger and wished he could personally catch a few bastards from Laicai Gambling House.
Liu Heng closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "It seems that these days I have been focusing on the outside of the city. Some people in the city have forgotten the power of our tiger flag. It's okay, this time we will completely clear out the ghosts and monsters in the city." .”
He pressed his hand hard on the desk.
Zhao Wu looked up at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng ordered: "Pass me an order to inform the people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Intelligence Department to use the underground forces in Lingqiu City to clean up the Lahu and all underground forces in the city. Within half a month, all the people in Lingqiu County will be killed." Only the Huzi Banner family’s underground forces can exist.”
"Yes." Zhao Wu accepted the order and immediately asked, "Can my subordinates go to Laicai Gambling House?"
"Not only do you want to go, but you also want to go openly." Liu Heng said, "I allow you to bring a firecrackers team into the city and arrest everyone who comes to Cai Gambling House and those who are involved in the Han family's affairs. Kill them all and send the rest to Dongshan to mine."
"My subordinate understands."
"Go do it!"
"Yes." Zhao Wu exited the signing room.
Liu Heng rubbed his temples.
He wanted to use this incident to make everyone understand that the beard of the tiger character flag was not allowed to be stroked by others. Anyone who dared to stroke the tiger's beard should be prepared to lose his life.
Not long after Zhao Wu left, Li Shuheng hurried to the signing room.
As soon as he came in, he said eagerly: "Master, something happened, and someone actually tried to provide pensions for our Tiger Flag."
Looking at Li Shuheng who was sweating profusely, Liu Heng pointed to the seat next to him and said: "Brother Shuheng, sit down, drink some water first, and then talk slowly."
"How can I not be anxious?" Li Shuheng said with a worried look on his face, "If this matter is not handled well, the Tiger Flag will lose people's hearts and our good situation will be ruined. You can't take it seriously."
"I know." Liu Heng said, "I have sent Zhao Wu with the gun team to arrest people at Laicai Gambling House."
Hearing that he had already gone to arrest someone, Li Shuheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I was afraid you wouldn't take it seriously."
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Actually, this is also an opportunity for our Tiger Flag."
Li Shuheng picked up the teapot, and before drinking, he raised his head and looked at Liu Heng in confusion.
Liu Heng continued: "Our Tiger Flag has a foothold outside the city and has not put much power into the city. This time we just use this opportunity to sort out the ghosts and snakes in the city and clear out the underground forces in Lingqiu County. Our Tiger Flag The word flag takes its place and completely controls the inside and outside of Lingqiu City."
Li Shuheng held the big tea vat with both hands and said hesitantly, "Would this cause dissatisfaction with Magistrate Guo and the gentry in the city?"
"We only want the underground forces in the dark and will not touch their interests or cause dissatisfaction." Liu Heng said, "We have mastered the underground forces in Lingqiu City, and Lingqiu will only become more stable and have a negative impact on the county." It will benefit both the gentry and the gentry in the city."
Li Shuheng turned to say: "What should we do with Huang Shoubei? He has been staring at our tiger flag."
"Don't pay attention to him." Liu Heng said, "The commander-in-chief is suppressing him above, and the two thousand households below are working against him. When we fully grasp the underground power of Lingqiu, his guard in Lingqiu will be If you can't move even an inch, how can you still have the energy to fight against us?"
"Now that you know what's going on, I'm relieved." Li Shuheng said again, "Several attendants sent by the army have arrived at Xujiazhuang. Do you want to go and meet them?"
"This is an important matter, let's go and meet together." Liu Heng stood up.
The two people left the signing room together.
