Speaking of which, Li Cong met Suo Ye for the second time. Li Cong's reconnaissance system is still incomparable with Suo Ye's. After all, Li Cong has just arrived on this planet and can only get some small news. As for some big news,

Li Cong still can't get the confidential things now. If Li Cong could get it, he wouldn't want to enter the upper class society. Li Cong's idea is that just like on the earth, on the surface, there are some powerful countries and large

Power, but in fact, this is unreliable. Europa and the Skull and Bones Society are not countries, but no one can deny their strength. They are more powerful forces than countries. On the surface of this planet,

It seems that the two empires are larger, but in fact? There may be even larger forces below them. For example, why have there been only these two empires for tens of thousands of years? What is the reason why these two empires are so powerful?

The great empire has always been engaged in small-scale wars. This is something Li never understood. Therefore, if you want to understand these things, you must climb up and climb to a very high position. Otherwise, you will be in other places.

It cannot be known.

Suo Ye is a person at the highest level. Although he has not entered the highest level, as far as the people Li Cong has contacted so far, except for the young man who bought Li Cong's things in Yitian last time, Suo Ye may be the one around here.

The person closest to the upper class. The last time Li Cong met Suo Ye was when they were buying and selling slaves in the slave market, but this time it was in Yitiandang's box. The city lord has already arrived, but the city lord is not

I will meet someone like Li Cong. He is a noble. No matter how powerful Li Cong is, he is not a noble. In fact, as far as the entire empire is concerned, some of the big nobles in the imperial capital no longer have so many rules. What do they think?

You can do it if it is beneficial, but there are many small nobles who are enfeoffed in various places like the city lord. They keep the aristocratic code in mind, and they will not be with the common people, because this will make them civilians.

And they don't think that the great nobles in the imperial capital are doing the right thing. They think that those people have become corrupt, and the nobles should have their own habits. For example, when meeting businessmen like Li Cong, they have to let Suo Ye do it.

Only the housekeeper can come forward.

Li Cong's box can accommodate more than a dozen people, but now there are only three people, Li Cong, Lao Yang and Boss Hu. No one else needs to come in. Li Cong also knows Suo Ye. Besides, Boss Hu is always following him.

I was dealing with Mr. Suo. I knew that Mr. Suo was a mysterious person. Back then, one of Boss Hu’s nephews caused some trouble in the provincial capital. He originally thought he would pay a big price, but he just happened to meet Mr. Suo.

With just one sentence, the young master of an earl's family in the provincial capital apologized. Moreover, the earl's young master seemed to be very afraid of Master Suo. At that time, Boss Hu knew that Master Suo was not someone to be trifled with. In addition to paying tribute to the city lord every year

In addition to the tens of thousands of gold coins from the government, Suo Ye has to add 10,000 gold coins, and Suo Ye has been happy to receive them over the years.

Many people don't understand Suo Ye. Suo Ye earns hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year, but Suo Ye still pays a lot of the filial piety money he should receive. Others don't know what this is for, but Li Cong knows this.

After hearing the news, I immediately understood what was going on. What was the reason for Suo Ye to hide himself? It’s just that he didn’t hide it very well. Of course, Suo Ye didn’t keep any of his money and spent it on some

Socially, the reason why the big nobles in the provincial capital like to receive Mr. Suo is because he has the gold coins they want in his pocket. Even though these nobles all look like dogs, they have a lot of salary, but they

Their expenses are even greater, and they spend a lot of money every year just because of their appearance.

"Master Suo, why are you here? Do you have something to do with me? Just call me and ask you to run over." Mr. Hu didn't know that Master Suo and Li Cong knew each other, so he thought something was going on.

, this is the auction house of Yitiandang. Could it be that Mr. Suo has taken a fancy to something, and he doesn’t have enough money to spare and wants to sponsor it? Or is it something else?

"Haha, Lao Hu, I came here to discuss something with Mr. Li. You go out for a walk." This is a very impolite way of speaking. If others talk to Boss Hu like that, I guess Hu

The boss was already angry and wanted to fight him, but it was Suo Ye who was speaking now, so Boss Hu didn't think there was anything excessive.

Li Cong glanced at Suo Ye, and he understood what was going on. If Yitian could come to see him in private, this guy would do the same. He smiled and gave Suo Ye his seat. Lao Yang and Hu

The two masters cried and laughed. They are not qualified to stay here anymore. This is a matter for the top management. They can just go out and walk around. Anyway, it is only half an hour from the start. The two of them

I don't know how long the conversation will take.

Indeed, when Li Cong and Suo Ye reached this point, there was no need to talk about other convoluted things and they just went straight to the topic. Suo Ye opened his mouth and took a sip. This tea was really delicious. "Li

Sir, people in the Ming Dynasty do not do secret things. You must also know the reason why I am here. Mr. Li, it can be said that I am not representing the city lord. I am representing the prince's palace in the imperial capital to negotiate with Mr. Li."

Suo Ye finally said what he said, and Li Cong was a little shocked at this moment. No matter how he looked, he didn't realize that this guy was actually a matter for the Imperial Palace. Li Cong had only heard that Yitian was the eldest princess's business.

But after all, this princess is still a member of the family in the end. There is no way her influence and connections can match those of the county prince's palace. Which princess in history could have been passed down for a long time, but the prince's palace has been able to survive forever.

"I'm sorry, Master Suo. I really didn't expect Master Suo to be able to speak to me on behalf of the Prince's Mansion in the Imperial Capital. Li was really surprised. If Master Suo can represent the Prince's Mansion, then I think Mr. Suo should also know what I just said.

I have signed a contract with Yitian. From now on, I will give them one thousand kilograms of tea leaves every month. They can guarantee that my tea base will be fine. Now that Mr. Suo has spoken, I cannot ignore your face. However, the output of my place is currently

It's really hard to keep up, Mr. Suo, if you know something in your mind, just give the order directly." Li Cong said with a smile. Although Li Cong said it in a low-status manner, Mr. Suo also listened.

This is what Li Cong meant. Everything requires an exchange of interests. At the beginning, Master Suo never thought of using the name of the Prince's Palace to pressure people. He knew very well that the person in front of him could not use common sense.

To judge, to be honest, I don’t know the details of the young man in front of me. I have already used a lot of contacts to check, but the person in front of me is still blank, as if he is a person who appears out of thin air. Suo Ye knows very well

, such a person has a great background.

"Mr. Li, thank you for this. We don't want much. Our county prince's business is much larger than that of Yitian. It's 2,200 kilograms. I know this number may be a bit troublesome for Mr. Li. 2,000 kilograms is the amount for Imperial Capital County."

The 200 kilograms from the palace belongs to our city lord’s palace. Mr. Li can rest assured that with this batch, I guarantee that no force will come to ask Mr. Li for this again. Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for the palace’s procurement, will not come.

." Suo Ye said with a smile. Li Cong was even more shocked at this time. He really didn't expect that this Suo Ye would have such great abilities. It seems that behind him is not just a simple county prince's palace, but he should have something in his hands.

There are other trump cards. Indeed, there are more things behind this Mr. Suo. For example, most of the old prince’s relationship network was in his hands. The current county prince is in a certain

Sometimes you have to listen honestly.

"Haha, Mr. Suo. Come to a round number, we will be friends from now on. The first batch of 3,000 kilograms will be yours." Since Li Cong wanted to make good friends with Mr. Suo, he naturally had to be more generous and offered eight hundred kilograms again.

It’s a small sum of money. Master Suo is a man who does big things. He bought it directly without even asking the price. Master Suo wouldn’t care about this small amount of money. This amount of money is not a big amount for the county prince’s palace.

But the profit figure after one year would even surprise the county and prince's government. The most important thing is that through Suo Ye, he can take this profitable buyer and seller into his own hands, and he can control more things.

Suo Ye nodded in agreement with Li Cong's performance. Young people are terrible. In fact, 2,000 kilograms or 3,000 kilograms are not very important to Suo Ye and the forces behind him. What is important is Li Cong's cooperative attitude.

With this attitude, everything can be said easily. Suo Ye is not a person who doesn't know how to repay. He took out a box and Li Cong took a look. All of them were gold tickets from the Imperial Bank, one hundred thousand gold coins each.

Yes, this is not something that a city lord's palace can come up with. At a glance, millions of gold coins are unstoppable. This money is indeed a huge sum of money.

"Just take the money and supply it to me. When it is not enough, I will ask someone to deliver it. You have just opened your business, and many places need money. In this county, there are thousands of gold coins.

You can do a lot of things, but getting to the provincial capital requires a lot of money. Money may not be the most useful thing in the world, but it is the best stepping stone." After Suo Ye finished speaking, he went out.

Li Cong sent this man to the door before coming back. It can be said that Suo Ye is now his biggest customer.

Master Suo slowly filled the box with golden tickets for Li Cong. When Master Hu and Lao Yang came in, they took a look at it and took a breath. They had never seen so many golden tickets in their lives. Li Cong laughed.

He handed it to Lao Yang and told him to keep it, at least tens of millions of gold tickets. This was the advance payment Suo Ye gave to Li Cong. It can also be said that this was to let Li Cong know the real strength behind him.

"Mr. Li,... from now on, the City Lord's Mansion will be our partner?" Mr. Hu still couldn't believe it, but Mr. Suo had just gone out, and Li Cong had so many golden tickets in his hand.

Could it be that he made it all up himself?

Mr. Hu has been offering sacrifices to the City Lord's Mansion for so many years, and he still dare not say who his partners are, but Li Cong smiled and nodded, as if to show that he still gave them face by cooperating with the City Lord's Mansion.

Yes, in fact, apart from this, Li Cong also admired Suo Ye very much. He was in charge of such a large resource, but he did not betray the city lord. He still became a small role as before, and even begged for two people to the city lord's palace.

A hundred pounds of tea leaves, this thing can make huge profits in the future.

A few people chatted for a while, and three beautiful girls came in at the door. They were all waiters in Yitian. All of them were red-card girls, but they were all virgins, and they were all in the same place.

They were trained in a special training place. Each of them is worth a lot of money. Although they are not as valuable as the girls from the Mengbei tribe, they are definitely not the common people on the street.

"Mr. Li, the big shopkeeper asked us to come here to remind you that the auction is about to begin, and we will act as your messengers." One of the beautiful girls said, because Li Cong and the others were on the third floor, so it was impossible to follow them.

The people outside just opened their mouths and bid. Even if they shouted out, people outside couldn't hear it. From the front, Li was completely like a screen. Of course, there were a few small holes to see above.

, when looking from the outside in, you can only see these small holes, but if Li Cong and the others look from the outside, there will be no problem. The design of Yitiandang is still very good.

Below, the second shopkeeper of Yitiandang, as the host of this auction, has quickly walked to the rostrum. Below, hundreds of well-known businessmen have also arrived. They have already anticipated this coming.

There were a lot of people, so we made a lot of preparations to add more people, but in the end it was still not enough. It is said that there are still many businessmen rushing towards Kahuan County City, but those people are obvious

Even if I can't make it, the auction will only last for two hours.

Normally, it is impossible for an auction in a county town to have such a scale. At this moment, the second shopkeeper saw not only several wealthy businessmen and some people from big families in the city, but also some high-level business leaders in the provincial capital.

They all saw it. They were not looking for these so-called treasures. What they saw was the 1,100 kilograms of tea leaves. This was what they needed most. Maybe they didn’t even have the tea leaves they released last time.

They had a chance to taste it. Now Yitian Dang gave them a cup of tea, and they all drank it. This is simply delicious food in the world. I have been doing business for a lifetime. If you can't see this, you don't need to do business.

They can only compensate for whatever they do.

"Everyone, first of all, please allow me to welcome everyone to our auction on behalf of Yitiandang. Our top priority in this auction is naturally the tea that has appeared recently. This thing is very important to us in Yitiandang.

, this is an extremely new item, and we don’t know much about it, but we have all tasted their deliciousness. I believe everyone will give their own psychological price. Okay, without further ado, let’s start now.

Our auction this time is a warm-up project. This is a huge farm in Wulan County, which is under our Kahuan County. This farm has 3,000 hectares of fertile land and 10,500 working slaves.

, it can be said that this farm can be profitable after buying it. There is no other kind of business that is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money. The low price of 20,000 gold coins can be said to be very cheap. If you buy it directly outside,

Not to mention the more than 10,000 slaves, I think this piece of land costs at least 25,000 to 30,000 gold coins. Moreover, all the fields in this farm have wells drilled, so there is no need to invest a penny at all.

Yes, the bidding will start in one minute." After the second shopkeeper finished speaking, the hourglass over there started counting, and many people began to discuss with those around them whether they wanted to buy it.

Li Cong has no interest in such a farm, but Mr. Hu is different. He made his fortune from the land, so he is most in favor of this kind of land sale, and he is also thinking about it at the moment.

Xiao Jiujiu's, but now is not the time for him to quote. In the past, he must have quoted below, but now he can't. He feels that he has reached the private room on the third floor. This is the best place.

There is no other place more noble than here, so you have to wait a while.

In fact, in the past auctions, there would be a good item, but at most it was only three or two thousand gold coins, but this time it is different. This time, it turned out to be a big item worth tens of thousands of gold coins. If this thing is in

In previous years, it can definitely be regarded as a finale product, but this year there is not so much to say about it, because there are countless teas in recent years.

"What, Lao Hu, are you ready to buy this place?" Li Cong saw that Mr. Hu had been thinking about it for a long time, and it seemed that he was tempted.

"Haha, it's a joke to call Mr. Li a joke. Mr. Li is engaged in big business. Naturally, he won't think about this the same way as me. I am just a person who lives on the land. If all my money is in my hands, I will

I don’t feel very reassured, but if it’s land, I would be reassured. This land can produce something every year, and there are still some slaves working. I don’t need to put in any effort at all. Let me buy this farm.

You have to get me at least two thousand gold coins every year. I can get my money back in ten years, and then I can collect ninety years of rent. The empire stipulates that if you buy a piece of land, you can get it back in one hundred years.

And when the empire was brought back, it was bought back at 30% of the price you paid for it, which I think is very good." Mr. Hu thought for a while and said, his family's vast hectares of fertile land cannot be bought in a day, sometimes.

Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy land, so he will definitely buy it if he has such an opportunity. He cannot let himself regret it.

Li Cong smiled and shook his head. This is a typical small-scale peasant economy, but it is no wonder that if people of this era do not buy land, they will not be people of this era. If they all run to do business, no one will grow food.
