One hundred taels of gold were not too much for General Lin, but it was not too far from ignoring it. With this one hundred taels of gold, no matter who the other party was, he was interested in talking about it. It would be even better if he gave a little more gift.

However, in order to prevent the other party from being an assassin, General Lin did not get too close to Wang Youtian, and his personal guards were always by his side, so there was time to stop any accidents. In addition, Wang Youtian was searched before meeting General Lin and had no weapons on his body.

"General Lin, my master and Lord Liu xx, Lord Wu x are good friends. Guangdong was captured by thieves. My master cannot get out of the thieves' nest. I hope the imperial army will wipe out the thieves as soon as possible." Wang Youtian said respectfully.

"Mr. Liu xx, Lord. Wu x, I understand. Don't worry, Li Shuai is training a million troops and will definitely be able to eliminate the thieves in one battle." General Lin replied with a smile.

Wang Youtian mentioned Lord Liu xx and Lord Wu x. One of them was the Huguang official and the other was the capital official. They were quite famous. General Lin knew that General Lin also knew the intention of Wang Youtian to express the intention of these two people, indicating that "his own people" should not be arrested as spies. As for Wang Youtian's real intention of coming here, General Lin could not guess for the time being.

Wang Youtian did not ask General Lin to wait for long, and soon expressed his intentions. Simply put, it was to do business in the People's Army/ruling area and the Ming ruling area. He hoped that General Lin would give him some convenience. Liang Xin would regularly respect General Lin.

When General Lin heard this, he felt that his chance to make money was coming. One hundred taels of gold was not much for General Lin, but General Lin was always short of money. He was a general himself, his salary was not much, and there was a team of personal guards to raise, so he could only deduct a little military salary from the soldiers below. General Lin did not dare to deduct too much, and it was easy to cause problems. He was afraid of death and had to rely on the soldiers below to fight.

When Wang Youtian took out the glass mirror as a commodity, General Lin's eyes lit up. Isn't this a glass mirror? He has seen that a glass mirror the size of a palm costs hundreds of taels of silver, but he doesn't have a glass mirror.

The product is a glass mirror. General Lin immediately raised the business by several levels, which would definitely be a big business that makes money. In his mind, General Lin planned to find a way to make more money in this business. The best way is to participate in shares. The money earned in this business will have its own part, rather than the so-called filial piety.

Wang Youtian stayed in Linwu County for several days. General Lin asked to participate in the glass business. Wang Youtian agreed to the case on behalf of Liang Xin, but Wang Youtian could not decide how many shares he had. Wang Youtian took out another 300 taels of gold, plus the previous ones, a total of 400 taels of gold, as General Lin managed the funds for the "upper and down" of funds.

Wang Youtian knew that most of the four hundred taels of gold would fall into General Lin's hands, but he had no way to say anything more. There were too few Ming generals like General Lin who were easy to cooperate with.

If Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan have a plan to open up the trade route, they may have to follow General Lin’s business route. General Lin is just a point on the trade route, but it is a very important point. Once this point is replaced, there will be big trouble.

After reaching a cooperation with General Lin, Wang Youtian and his group left Linwu County and continued to head north, preparing to contact the big shots and find the businessmen who cooperated with them through the big shots.

Liang Xin's glass business path has gradually become clear:

Glass was produced from the Guangzhou Glass Factory and sold to the Liang Chamber of Commerce by the People's Chamber of Commerce. The Liang Chamber of Commerce transported the glass out of Guangdong to General Lin's territory. Another merchant received the batch of glass and sold it in the Ming Dynasty ruled area.

The Liang Chamber of Commerce and the cooperative merchants are those who are benefiting from the surface, but secretly there are also major figures connected with the Liang Chamber of Commerce, General Lin, the People's Chamber of Commerce, and even the People's Army and the Ming court can also gain benefits.

The People's Army can collect large amounts of commercial taxes from the Liang Chamber of Commerce, and merchants who cooperated with the Liang Chamber of Commerce also have to pay tolls to the government when transporting glass.

It is also a relatively interesting thing that a glass business can make the People's Army and the Ming court become profitable, and the efforts of merchants are indispensable.

When the glass business becomes bigger and bigger and becomes more and more important people have an interest relationship, even if the Ming court knows that the glass business is related to the People's Army, it cannot be stopped. What's more, the glass business has no other impact on the Ming court except money.

The Liang Chamber of Commerce successfully opened up the most important point on the trade route. It will take some time to open the trade route in the second half, but it is not very difficult. It is only a matter of time before it can be successfully opened.

The Liang Chamber of Commerce was progressing smoothly, but the progress of other merchants was not very smooth. Some merchants sent by them to bribe the Ming army generals, but they did not expect that the target Ming army generals could not be bribed at all. The subordinates fell into the Ming army and lost a lot of money.

The people sent by the merchants are all confidants and make guarantees before departure that if something happens, the wife and children will be raised. Now that something really happens, a lot of money will be needed to support the person. If they don’t raise them, they may be centrifuged.

The trade route has not been opened, but people and money will be lost, which makes merchants feel very distressed. Merchants with a lot of money will continue to look for other directions to try to open up the trade route. Merchants with not much money will either give up the glass business, or think about other merchants opening up the trade route and spend money on their own.

Borrowing the trade routes opened by others will definitely make a lot of benefits. If you can choose, it is better to control one trade route yourself, but this is a matter of luck. No one can guarantee that he can use money to buy a general of the Ming army.

For a businessman, owning a trade route means a steady stream of money. Even if this trade route is unusable in a few years, the glass business alone can make the businessman make a lot of money.

Merchants such as Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin could see that this glass business could make a lot of money. Liang Xin directly sent his confidant to take 600 taels of gold to set off, and the situation between Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan would not be much different.

Before the glass business, no merchants tried to open up the trade route between the People's Army/ruling area and the Ming-ruling area. At that time, the People's Army/ruling area had no specialties that could make money. Even if they opened the trade route, they would not make money, and they would lose money instead.

Now that there is a glass business that can make a lot of money, merchants are going to open up the trade routes from the People's Army/ruling area to the Ming Dynasty ruling area.

Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan and Liang Xin who were staying in Guangzhou City still don’t know that only Liang Xin successfully passed the pass, and Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan were both blocked at the checkpoint.

Even though Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan and Liang Xin have a good relationship, Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan will still try to control a business path of their own. Unless they keep failing, they will choose to borrow the business path opened by the Liang Chamber of Commerce and get a discounted price as friends.
