Song Shoucai, who originally wanted to ask the county governor to return one hundred taels of silver to him, saw Jiang Yifeng give away one hundred thousand taels of silver and was immediately embarrassed to mention it again.
He still wants some face after all.
"Master Song, Master Zhao, Master Wang..."
At this moment, Jiang Yifeng suddenly took out three sealed letters and handed them to the three of them with a smile, "One for each of you. Inside is the gift I gave you."
"Gift!"
When Song Shoucai heard the word 'gift', he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and was about to open the envelope immediately.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yifeng quickly stopped him, "Master Song, as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. I suggest you go home and take a look."
After speaking, Jiang Yifeng deliberately glanced at the others.
Although Song Shoucai wanted to open the envelope, he was more afraid that others would covet his wealth, so he could only nod in approval and put the envelope away.
Based on Jiang Yifeng's usual generosity, even if he didn't know what was in the envelope, he was sure that it was worth more than one hundred taels of silver.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
He thought he would lose a hundred taels of silver today, but he didn't expect Jiang Yifeng to give him a big gift, which made him feel better.
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhilou and Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment and gave up opening the envelope now.
However, the two of them were different from Song Shoucai, who was a money fan. They always felt that Jiang Yifeng would not be so kind and must have other purposes, but they couldn't think of it at the moment.
"alright!"
After the county guard saw Jiang Yifeng appear, everyone stopped paying attention to him, and said with some displeasure: "It's getting late, we are about to set off, everyone should be sent here!"
"Congratulations, my lord!"
When everyone heard this, they all saluted the governor.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, the motorcade drove out of Suzhou City and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
…
"Mr. Jiang, you are really shameless."
When the convoy reached a few miles outside the city, the county guard looked at Jiang Yifeng, who was riding with him, with a displeased expression on his face, "This hundred thousand taels of silver was obviously what you promised to give to me, so why did it become a gift from the Su family?" ?”
"do not mind the details."
Jiang Yifeng waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "My lord, just remember that these one hundred thousand taels of silver have earned the Su family face. When we get to Luoyi, I will earn face for you."
"That's pretty much it."
The county guard nodded with satisfaction and confirmed again: "Can you really use one hundred thousand taels of silver to earn one million taels of silver in half a month?"
Jiang Yifeng knew that the county governor was worried that his political performance was not enough, so he smiled and assured: "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely do it if I say it can, but..."
The county guard was shocked and quickly asked: "Just what?"
Jiang Yifeng suddenly stared at the county guard and said calmly: "It's just my way of making money, and I'll probably offend a lot of people. Can you protect me, sir?"
The Sheriff asked slowly: "Who will be offended?"
Jiang Yifeng smiled and asked, "Who have I offended? Can you protect me?"
"See what you're worth."
The county guard narrowed his eyes and continued: "As long as you are worth enough, I can protect you even if you offend your emperor."
Jiang Yifeng asked with a half-smile, "What if it's a wealthy family?"
Hearing this, the county guard almost jumped up and asked in surprise: "You earn your money, why do you offend them when you have nothing to do?"
Although the adoption of the imperial examination system in the Zhou Dynasty greatly restricted the growth of wealthy families, it did not completely eliminate them.
In the early and middle periods of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the country was very powerful, and these wealthy families were as obedient as tamed wolves.
However, wolves are wolves after all and are not easy to tame.
When the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty weakened, it gave the powerful families an opportunity to take advantage of it. They relied on constantly encroaching on the Great Zhou court and grew stronger little by little.
Today's powerful families are more powerful than the Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the powerful family is more difficult to deal with than the Emperor Zhou.
"Sir, don't get excited, I'll just talk casually."
Jiang Yifeng laughed at first, then his eyes narrowed, and he lowered his voice and said: "The richest people in Dazhou are the wealthy families. It is better to make the poor people's money than to make their money. What do you think, sir?"
"Are you crazy?"
The county guard's eyes widened in panic, "Is it so easy to make money from a wealthy family? If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces."
Jiang Yifeng's face was full of curiosity, "Sir, is this powerful family so powerful?"
"Of course they are awesome, they are..."
In the middle of his words, the county magistrate suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Yifeng with an angry look on his face, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Jiang Yifeng looked innocent, "No, how could I possibly deceive the county governor."
"You're just trying to trick me."
The county guard stared at Jiang Yifeng for a while and said in a deep voice: "On the surface, you are discussing business with me, but in fact, you are inquiring about the strength of a wealthy family."
Jiang Yifeng's expression remained unchanged, "Sir, it's true, you misunderstood me."
"hehe……"
The Sheriff sneered, "Can you stop pretending? What do you want to know? Can't you just ask?"
"well!"
Jiang Yifeng sighed, shrugged and said, "I would like to ask directly, but your mouth is tighter than Chu'er's legs, and you won't tell me even if I ask."
"What kind of bullshit metaphor are you talking about?"
The county guard was about to be angered by Jiang Yifeng, and said with a dark face: "I won't tell you some things to protect you."
"oh!"
Jiang Yifeng responded absently, not paying attention at all.
If the county guard wants to protect him, he would be a fool to just ignore it.
"lets change a topic."
The county guard didn't want to talk about the wealthy family, so he changed the subject and asked, "When you left Su City, you gave three envelopes to the Song family, the Zhao family, and the Wang family. What gifts were in them?"
"10% share of Shikui Book Store."
Jiang Yifeng didn't hide anything and directly revealed the gift he had prepared.
"Why did you give them shares in the bookstore?"
the Sheriff asked curiously.
He had heard that 10% of the bookstore's shares were worth a lot of money.
"hey-hey……"
Jiang Yifeng grinned at the county guard and said nothing.
at the same time……
Song Shoucai couldn't wait to return home and shouted loudly: "Son, son... come out quickly. Just now your sworn brother gave me a gift. If nothing else, today your father and I not only didn't pay any compensation, but made a lot of money." .”
However, he shouted for a while, but did not hear Song Yuan answer him.
"This loser must have gone out to play again."
Song Shoucai cursed, opened the envelope himself, and saw two pieces of paper in the envelope.
Opening the first piece of paper, I found that it was a share transfer deed, and Jiang Yifeng had already signed it. As long as he signed, the deed would take effect immediately.
"This is 10% of the book store's shares."
Song Shoucai had an expression of surprise on his face and grinned: "Jiang Yifeng is indeed my son's sworn brother. He is so particular that he actually..."
Halfway through his words, Song Shoucai suddenly thought of something, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Then, he quickly opened the second piece of paper and saw that it read:
The shares belong to you, temporarily borrowed from Song Yuan.
After Song Shoucai finished reading, he looked up to the sky and screamed, "No..."
