Chapter 200 Xi Family, Li Family
Lifting up the teacup in his hand, Liu Weiyuan just took a sip and put it down.
The soldier with good eyes next to him saw that there was not much tea in his teacup and was about to come forward to pour another cup for him, but before he could do it for him, Liu Weiyuan grabbed the teacup again, held it in his hand and grabbed it tightly, his eyes kept spinning around, obviously very nervous!
After a long time, he seemed to have come back to his senses, turned around and smiled with the soldier standing behind him not far away waiting for his orders, asking: "Where did this military master, the general go? Is there any clear time to come back?"
The smile on his face was obviously forced to squeeze out, so it was very ugly.
"Sir, look, the coach is almost supposed to come back! Before he went out, he mentioned that he had something to do in the afternoon and asked us to prepare things for him. He would get what he would come back at noon, so it should be soon!"
The soldier explained to him patiently!
"That's good...that's good, hey, please trouble you, Jun Ye!"
Although it was not the first time that I got this answer from the soldiers, Liu Weiyuan seemed to have put down something on his face for the time being, and his smile became a little more, not as much as he had just had a bitter smile!
"Haha, who do I think it is? It turns out that it is Jiangui Liu. It's really a rare guest... A rare guest, someone comes to pour tea for Manager Liu's..."
After waiting for a small town again, a burst of hearty laughter came from the room. As Liu Weiyuan waited thousands of times, Li Han and Zhang Meisheng pushed the door and walked in.
"I've been waiting for Manager Liu for a long time. I suddenly became anxious and delayed some time. Please forgive me!"
He smiled and clasped his fists to greet him.
Zhang Meisheng nodded with him with a smile. The two of them were not familiar with each other, so just nodding slightly at him was considered a complete courtesy!
"Mr.... Please forgive me, please forgive me. Zilu's sudden visit has caused many inconveniences to the Marshal. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
Liu Weiyuan has gained a lot of weight after not seeing his figure in a few days. Li Han looked at him for a while and found that his face was indeed full of red and full of wealth. However, he kept taking out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his sweat. The weather was a little gloomy today, and it was very likely that he wanted to rain, so although the weather was stuffy, it was not hot. On the contrary, some cool breeze blew.
Seeing his eyes erratic again, it attracted his attention!
"Shopkeeper Liu, please sit down quickly, please sit down! Come on, sir, please sit down too. I wonder what happened to Manager Liu's visit today?"
"this……"
Seeing him pondering, Li Han waved his hand and the two waiting soldiers in the house retreated, and even brought the door with them when they went out!
"You don't have to see Liu Zhan's story outside. There are no outsiders inside the house. Please tell me if you have any questions!"
Liu Weiyuan wiped the cold sweat from his head. After hesitating for a while, he stood up and said, "Damn it...May the General, save me...Save me!"
After saying that, he knelt in front of Li Han with a thud and couldn't get up.
"Shopkeeper Liu is..."
Li Han's monk couldn't figure out what kind of play he was singing. It was a bit inexplicable to look at Zhang Meisheng, but he was a little better, and he was also vaguely guessing in his heart whether it was related to the people he had been asking about before!
"Shopkeeper Liu, please get up quickly... please get up. If you have any questions, let's talk slowly... let's talk slowly!"
Who knew how to support him? Liu Weiyuan didn't want to get up, but just knelt on the ground and kept knocking, waiting for him to come down.
Li Han looked at the time, but his brows frowned slightly, "Shopkeeper Liu, you haven't spoken out what the hell is, and ask me how to help you!"
"this……"
After hearing his words, Liu Weiyuan was obviously stunned, but he quickly reported it! He quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's Zilu's fault. Please forgive me... Forgive me, only the Grand Marshal can help in this matter, please forgive me!"
He sighed, fumbled in his arms for a long time before he escaped from his arms and handed them to him!
"This is?"
Li Han looked at him in surprise. The two letters had the words "shi" and "Li" written on each of the envelopes, and there was no extra word on the rest, which made him a little confused. He didn't rush to open it. He put the two letters in his hand and weighed it. The letter was no longer light. It was bulging inside. Based on his touch, he felt that there were probably several pieces of letter paper inside. However, he was also a little confused for a while. Who wrote the letter for himself, and why did he write to himself?
"The handsome man will know!"
Seeing that he still did not open the envelope, Liu Weiyuan had to strengthen his courage and whispered a reminder.
"Um!"
Li Han nodded. He was quite curious about who was going to write to him, so he picked up the letter with only the word Li written on the envelope and tore it apart.
He frowned: "What does this mean?"
He snorted coldly, and actually pulled out a stack of silver notes from the envelope. After carefully counting, it was as big as five thousand. He snorted coldly and threw the envelope on the table, staring at Liu Weiyuan tightly, waiting for his reply.
"Big...Master, please read another letter first!"
As the territory in Ezhong became bigger and bigger, Li Han's power also increased day by day. Liu Weiyuan was naturally sweating profusely when he was glaring at him. But at this time, he didn't dare to take out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat. As a result, not only was his back sweating, but even the ground where he knelt was wet.
"snort!"
Li Han took out another envelope, tore open it and took out the things inside. This time he was completely stunned. He was still a silver note. He counted twice as many as the first one, and it was 10,000 taels.
This ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Its significance in this era is no less than that of millions or millionaires in later generations. Moreover, it is better to give it to others. If there is no problem here, it will be a problem!
"gentlemen……"
He pushed the thing in front of Zhang Meisheng and found that Zhang Meisheng frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't hear him talking!
"Get up, you, Manager Liu, now I have opened these two letters, can you tell me what's going on?"
He thought for a while, but his head was chaotic, but he could not think of the cause and effect at all, so he had to say something to him in harmony and urged him to get up quickly.
"Drink, 15,000 taels of silver, such a big deal. Manager Liu, can you tell me in detail the story here!"
He was a little impatient, and thought anyone who encountered such a thing would feel confused.
Liu Weiyuan had no choice but to stand up, take out a handkerchief from his arms and wipe the sweat from his forehead, nodded, and responded in a hurry!
"Master, these two letters were sent by someone to Dashan. The reason is that some people think that the Marshal is blocking their way of wealth, so these two letters can also be regarded as filial piety fees!"
Li Han frowned. He seemed to have grabbed something, but he was still a little short of it. He seemed that something had been forgotten by him, and he couldn't remember it for a moment. He had to wave his hand and urge Liu Weiyuan to continue talking.
"Can these ones be the Shanghai Xi family?"
Before Liu Weiyuan could speak, he didn't expect that Zhang Meisheng next to him would take the mouth, his face became more gloomy and asked.
"Yes, yes, as these adults said, it's the Xi family!"
Zhang Meisheng sighed, "Sure enough!"
He turned halfway and looked at Li Han: "Master, it seems that someone has taken a fancy to the salt of the two lakes. One of them is most likely the Shanghai Xijia."
"When Mr. Zhang was still there, he often sighed and said that Hu Xueyan, a man who was so stunning and full of talent, was a man who lost to the Xi family and the Xi family. This is really touching. The Grand Marshal is afraid that he will encounter trouble this time..."
"This adult is right. The Xi family and the Dongting Business Group behind him have always had a bad reputation. When it comes to being cruel, they are only higher than those of Western Businessmen. When doing business, they only talk about interests but not morality. In recent years, many industrialists in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even Anhui have suffered a lot of secret losses in their hands. This time they have taken a fancy to the opportunity of Huai Yan and Sichuan Yan being banned from Chu. They must have made every preparation and made a big profit!"
Liu Weiyuan sighed, "I produce salt in Yingcheng. The output has been increasing day by day in the past half month. It can meet the needs of the six governments in the province. The things that the Xi family is interested in have never allowed others to get involved unless they are allies who are attracted by them. Zilu estimated that if the Xi family had not feared the tens of thousands of soldiers in the hands of the commander, they would have probably used some dirty means that they could not get on the table!" His face was dark, especially when he mentioned the words "dirty means", a burst of blue veins on his face, which seemed extremely ferocious.
It took a long time to look like a deflated ball. "Please forgive me, Zilu's mother, wife and children are now all in their hands. My Liuji Trading Company can now practice more than 30 dan of salt every day. The Xi family forced me to sell him cheaply. After I refused, I asked me to recommend the Grand Marshal to them. After I refused, I made a ruthless move and forced me to give this gift to the Grand Marshal, saying it was a donation to the military government! There is another sentence, I hope to convey it to the Grand Marshal!"
"explain!"
Li Han knocked his fingers expressionlessly, even Zhang Meisheng, who was like an old fox, could not see anything from his very young-looking face!
"The war in the province is in a tense way, and I hope that the general will focus on war. In the future, the salt transported by the Xi family will not enter the scope under the jurisdiction of the general!"
The implication is to let Li Han look forward to his acre of three-point land, and don’t stretch his hands too long!
"And what? It's gone?"
Zhang and Liu were still worried that he would get angry because of this sentence, but he didn't expect that he just nodded casually and exposed it.
"Not a word!"
"So, who gave this letter!"
He asked with a finger pointing at the envelope with the words "Lee".
"It's Li Zongmei, a private salt giant in Huizhou. I have some business dealings with him, so he sent someone to ask me to pass this letter to Dashuai, hoping that Dashuai could hand over the salt produced under his command to him for sale."
Seeing that Li Han was just silent, he couldn't think of what he was thinking, so he spoke again: "This is Li Zongmei of Yi County, who is very principled. The general refused to hand over the salt circulated in the province to him for sale. On the one hand, it saved freight and on the other hand, it could also avoid the aggressive Xi family."
He sighed, "In recent years, the atmosphere in the province has been brought to the point of being bad by Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There are a few more conspiracies and tricks, and there are a lot of less righteousness and kindness. Since Huizhou merchants have failed to support me, our provinces in Hubei and Jiangxi have been the most affected. What a pity... It's a pity!"
After all, he is an honest businessman. Compared to those who are devoted to making money or even using any means, he undoubtedly feels more and more that he can't keep up with the times.
Li Han nodded, "You go back first, I want to think about it, I will give you a reply tomorrow!"
Seeing Liu Weiyuan panic on his face, he waved his hand, "I'll keep the stuff, go!"
It's considered a response.
Only then did he see a hint of joy on his face, and he was about to leave after repeated surprises!
"By the way!"
His body had just left the house, and he seemed to have thought of something, and turned back.
"Master, this is the letter Li Zongmei asked me to pass it to Da Zheng. I just want to make friends with Li Shuai!"
He handed a letter, which contained two additional words "Keep Enlightenment".
