Agents of the Three Kingdoms

As soon as Zhen Yan returned to the study, her ass was still warm, the attendant came outside the study again, knocked on the door, and reported respectfully: "Master, Xiapi Chen's Trading Company is here to see you."

"Please!"

Zhen Yan rejoiced in her heart, got up and went to the hall.

Although busy, Zhen Yan didn't feel irritable at all, on the contrary, she was very excited and enjoyed it.When she came to the hall, Zhen Yan saw the visitor, nodded her head slightly, waved her hand and said, "Please sit down!"

The person who came was a thin old man. After he sat down, he announced his family name and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhen, I am Xia Chen Ke. He is a side branch of the Chen family in Xiapi. He runs the Chen family business for the Chen family."

Zhen Yan was quite surprised, and said: "Dare to ask, but the Chen family where Peixiang Chen Gui and Chen Hanyu belong?"

"Exactly!" Chen Ke raised his head and said.

Chen Ke had pride on his face, like a proud peacock.

Chen Gui, courtesy name Hanyu, was born in Xiapi, the grandson of Guanghan prefect Chen Yu, the nephew of Taiwei Chen Qiu, the subordinate brother of Wujun prefect Chen Yu, and Ruyin prefect Chen Cong.Everyone in the Chen family has prominent official positions, which can be described as an honor.The Chen family is in Xiapi, and it is said to be an unrivaled family. Looking at the entire Xuzhou, the Chen family also has unparalleled influence.

Even if such an aristocratic family is not comparable to the fourth and third generations of the Yuan family, it is still a powerful family that dominates one side.

Chen Ke was born in the Chen family, and Zhen Yan had to weigh it carefully.

Zhen Yan has been working in the shopping mall for many years, and she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She chuckled twice and said lightly: "It is an honor for Jizhou and the Lord's honor for Chen's firm to come to Jizhou to do business. During the Daoist Conference, Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and other famous scholars have all come to Ye County, and they often discuss the Dao with the lord, I wonder if the Han Yu Guild will come to Ye County?"

With those words, the corners of Chen Ke's mouth twitched, and the pride in his eyes disappeared.

Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning and other great Confucian scholars all came and discussed with Wang Lei.In front of Zheng Xuan, what are you, Chen Gui?With Zheng Xuan sitting in Ye County, Chen Ke no longer dared to be presumptuous.

Chen Ke smiled slightly, and said, "I can't guess the decision of the Patriarch, so it's hard for me to tell you."

"It's a pity that Lord Han Yu didn't come to participate, it's a pity."

Zhen Yan didn't let go, and continued to sigh with emotion.

Chen Ke had no choice but to quickly change the subject, get back to business, and took the initiative to say: "Mr. Zhen, the old man is here to ask for something. Please take care of the land around the venue for this discussion. After all, Jizhou and There are many benefits to Xuzhou's commerce. It has immeasurable benefits for Jizhou and Wangzhou Mu."

"Good talk, good talk!"

Zhen Yan nodded and answered with a smile.

Chen Ke clapped his palms, and in an instant, outside the hall, an attendant walked in carrying a large box.

The box was opened, and the eyes were full of brilliance.

The golden bars, lumps of silver, and countless treasures shine brightly, very dazzling.

Chen Ke stroked the beard under his chin, smiled, and said in a calm manner: "Mr. Zhen, this money is not for you, but for management. When you are in the officialdom, you must follow the rules of the officialdom." .These money can be used, as long as the land outside the venue can be won, there will be generous rewards. If this matter can be done, the Chen family will also give generous gifts."

Zhen Yan nodded, looking interested, but still official, and said: "I will accept the money and do some money for Mr. Chen. But I can't guarantee whether it will work out in the end, I can only say that I will do my best. "

Chen Ke nodded, handed in the self-recommendation letter from Chen's firm, and then left.

After seeing off Chen Ke, Zhen Yan returned to the hall.

As before, Zhen Yan asked the servants in the house to seal the box, and moved the box containing gold, silver and jewelry to the warehouse for storage.With the matter of Su Shuang and Chen Ke, Zhen Yan knew that there must be an endless stream of businessmen visiting today, so he just sat in the lobby and waited.Sure enough, after a while, another businessman came to visit. The businessman who came was also a virtuous person, and he brought money to bribe him.

One after another, merchants came to visit, and presented them with boxes containing money mouthful by mouthful.

Rare treasures dazzle people's eyes.

Throughout the day, Zhen Yan met with countless businessmen and was so busy that her feet never touched the ground.In the evening, Zhen Yan was able to relax for a while.He ordered to thank guests behind closed doors and no longer accept visits.

In the hall, Zhen Yan asked someone to count the items.

A little girl came, she was dressed in white with fluttering sleeves.

The melon-seeded face, without makeup, is glamorous; the big eyes, like a pool of autumn water, are touching; the cherry lips and small mouth, between opening and closing, reveal a different style.Although she was young, her delicate cheeks were the embryo of a beauty at first glance.After seeing Zhen Yan, the girl asked, "Brother, what do you plan to do with the money and items sent by the merchants?"

Zhen Yan laughed loudly and said, "Mi'er, is this brother who is taking the school exam? Brother knows that these things cannot be kept. I have sealed all the boxes. After the matter is finished, I will hand them all over to the lord."

This little girl was precisely Zhen Mi, and together with Zhen Yan, she moved from Wuji County to Ye County.

Zhen Mi thought clearly, and asked, "When will brother finish the work?"

Zhen Yan thought for a while, and replied: "I'm afraid it will take a few days. This is a complicated job, and it is difficult to finish it in a short time. Besides, it is only the first day, and many businessmen have not come to visit. I We must spread widely, catch big fish, and choose good enough merchants to settle in Ye County, and we must not disappoint the trust of our lord."

Zhen Mi sighed softly, and said: "Brother, the money received today must be sent tonight. So much money is in the house, Mr. Wang must know. You send it tonight to avoid suspicion." .”

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Yan was dripping with cold sweat.

"Mi'er didn't remind me, I almost made a big mistake for my brother!" Zhen Yan nodded, and said, "Mi'er, go back and rest, brother seal up all the items, and immediately take people to send the money to the state shepherd's mansion. Report to the lord personally."

Zhen Mi nodded before turning around and leaving the hall.

"I'm really dizzy, I think I'm loyal, but what would my lord think about this kind of thing? Send it quickly." Zhen Yan muttered to herself, and ordered: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and send all The box is sealed."

While the attendant was sealing the box, Zhen Yan asked someone to prepare the convoy again.

After everything was ready, it was completely dark.At this time, Zhen Yan ordered people to light a torch, loaded the large boxes one by one on the carriage, and personally led the team to the state pastoral mansion.

When he came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhen Yan asked someone to knock on the door.

Not long after, the door opened, and the attendant stuck his head out and asked, "Who is knocking on the door at night?"

Zhen Yan took out a string of five baht coins from her bosom, handed them to the attendant, and said with a smile, "Please inform the lord, Zhen Yan has something to see." When speaking, Zhen Yan kept her posture very low.

This is a habit developed over the years of doing business. He treats everyone very kindly. 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, no one can predict what will happen in a few decades.
