The only possibility is that these people were brought by Jin Fu.
After the clerk came to report, An Jingzhi encouraged him a few words and let him leave.
The people's hearts can be used.
If it wasn't for the purpose of defending the dignity of the City Lord's Mansion, how could this minor official have the courage to warn a person who was suspected to be a noble?
He said to the old steward beside him, "Send someone to watch them. No matter what they do, as long as it does not violate the laws of the city, leave them alone."
"Send someone to inform those merchants that a big businessman has arrived and that he can eat up everything they have."
An Jingzhi led Qucheng to develop together, but he did not just eat the fruits of his labor. The merchants in the city could all get some of the profits from him. Then these merchants would open shops and build factories, recruit more people, and provide more jobs.
Young Master Rong Li was resting in an inn that day. He was awakened by a noisy noise downstairs the next morning. After asking, he found out that the merchants in the city heard that a wealthy merchant had come to Qucheng and wanted to introduce their goods to him.
No businessman is more important than his breakfast.
He sat in his room, savoring the delicious food he had never tasted before.
"Soy milk and fried dough sticks are truly delicious." Young Master Rong Li felt a little regretful that he had not come to Qucheng earlier. If he had come earlier, he would probably have eaten them long ago.
When Jin Fu told him that a commoner dared to disguise himself as a noble, he was only half-believing and half-doubting. Later, he sent a lot of informants to verify the authenticity of Jin Fu's words.
He didn't find much detailed evidence about whether the man was an imposter, but he found out that there seemed to be some problems with Jin Fu's family.
It is not certain whether Jin Fu saw his master fall down and wanted to turn over and bite off his master's flesh.
He was thinking while enjoying breakfast, and only after finishing his meal did he come down to meet the merchants.
Those merchants received a notice from the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, and they couldn't wait to come and see this wealthy businessman this morning. When they saw his fat and broad figure, they felt relieved.
"this……"
Before he could finish his words, Master Rong Li raised his hand, smiled kindly, and said, "Since you all know that I'm a wealthy merchant, please don't waste our time by introducing ordinary items to me."
He appears kind on the surface, but his words reveal a natural arrogance.
These businessmen didn't mind and seemed to be used to such situations.
Li Dafa stepped forward and said politely, "I have something here that I'm sure you'll be interested in."
Young Master Rong Li sneered inwardly, "What kind of thing?"
Li Dafa took out the bag he had brought with him and unfolded it. He confidently picked up a silky square scarf and said, "This is called silk."
"Your Excellency, please."
He handed out a square handkerchief with both hands, and the guard beside Master Rong Li helped to take it.
Master Zhongli held the scarf in his hand and felt its silky smoothness and delicacy.
I was a little confused and asked, "What is this?"
It looks like silk that can be made into clothing, but it seems to be more delicate, exquisite, and the color is brighter.
Li Dafa smiled confidently and kept the question a secret. "What do you think of this?"
Young Master Rong Li pondered and said, "This is very good. If it were woven into clothing, it would be suitable for wearing next to the skin."
Unlike ordinary linen clothes, it will not cause redness or swelling due to friction on the skin.
It is similar to silk, but its quality is far superior.
Li Dafa laughed out loud, "Sir, this is the product I want to introduce to you."
"This is also made of silk, but the weaving method has been modified by our masters, making the silk more smooth and beautiful."
"If this is your cargo, we can talk about it." He gave a look to the guard next to him, and the other party immediately led Li Dafa aside.
Another person followed suit and opened a roll of something he had brought with him, and took the initiative to introduce it: "This is toilet paper."
Young Master Rong Li frowned slightly. He actually put the things related to the reincarnation of grains in the open and talked about them. He was indeed a commoner who didn't know etiquette.
The other party seemed unable to understand Young Master Rong Li's disdain and continued, "What makes this thing better than silk is that it is softer and can be thrown away after use. It doesn't need to be washed. It is a consumable item."
Young Master Rong Li understood the meaning of consumables according to the other party's words. Although he was reluctant to talk about things like bathing and changing clothes, after listening to the other party's introduction, it seemed not bad.
For the nobles, going to the toilet was called "bathing and changing clothes". Ordinary people used bamboo sticks to scrape themselves, and they used silk to wipe their buttocks.
Even wealthy nobles had to wash and reuse silk in an era of extreme productivity.
Young Master Rong Li thought about it, waved his hand, and the man was led aside by the guards.
When the people behind saw that two people had succeeded, they introduced their works more enthusiastically.
…
"Master, all the goods in the hands of those merchants have been sold." The butler came to report as soon as he heard the news.
He sent people to inform the merchants about the coming of the big businessman, and after the negotiation was completed, he would send a gift to express his gratitude.
Only after getting An Jingzhi's permission did he dare to accept the gifts.
"As long as it's sold, with this person's help in promoting it, it won't be long before we start receiving a large order."
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "We must keep a close eye on the tax situation. I've provided them with such a favorable business environment. If anyone dares to evade taxes, they will be severely punished!"
The old housekeeper said seriously, "Don't worry, Master. I'll be watching over it myself."
An Jingzhi nodded in satisfaction. "You have to take care of so many things by yourself. It's hard work."
The old butler was very excited, as if he regarded his friend as a friend. "Master, you are too kind. This is what I should do!"
"You should also teach your other sons well. If there is a chance, you can let them out to exercise." An Jingzhi promised.
The old butler was even more excited after hearing this.
"Okay, go and call Wang Sanwa over for me."
…
After receiving the order, Wang Sanwa immediately put down what he was holding and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion to meet An Jingzhi.
After being the manager for a few months, he has become more stylish and no longer looks as shabby as before.
But when facing An Jing, he remained humble and respectful.
"master."
The people in the mansion addressed An Jingzhi differently from other people, so other people could only call him "Sir".
The people in this mansion were very proud of their closeness to An Jingzhi and being able to call him "Master".
"How's the blast furnace I asked you to build?"
"We're still experimenting. The temperature is still a little off, but it will soon meet the master's requirements."
“What is the situation with raw material extraction?”
"We've already mined a portion of it," Wang Sanwa said excitedly. "Master, I'll show you the results in ten days at most!"
Looking at An Jingzhi, his expression was filled with reverence.
If he could really forge it, Wang Sanwa might become a celebrity! The master said that when future generations mention the first iron sword, they will definitely mention Wang Sanwa's name!
Then sharp weapons will be forged in his hands. Unlike bronze weapons, they are sharper and easier to make.
