Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 70 Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs

"Prefect Cao, it doesn't really matter whether the cat is dead or alive.

“Nothing is important. What’s important is always the people who create things.”

Yang Yuan smiled slightly. If he had a feather fan in his hand and a silk scarf on his head, he would be Zhuge Wuhou.

"Prefect Cao, I need to know about Madam Tong's situation. How much do you know?"

Seeing Yang Yuan's unfathomable appearance, Cao Yong couldn't help but gain more confidence in him.

Although he didn't understand why Yang Yuan wanted to understand the use of a ten-year-old girl,
But precisely because I didn't understand, I felt even more that Yang Yuan was a man of great character, and his thoughts were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Fortunately, the Cao family and Qin Hui are relatives, and he is Qin Hui's confidant. He often visits the Qin family and knows something about Mrs. Tong.

Cao Yong then told Yang Yuan in detail everything he knew about Mrs. Tong.

Before Yang Yuan came, he already had a rough plan in mind, which was the direction to solve the problem.

What he lacked was the specific implementation points, because he didn't know the detailed situation of Mrs. Tong.

After listening to Cao Yong's words, Yang Yuan felt relieved. He laughed and said, "If that's the case, solving this problem will be as easy as pie."

Cao Yong originally just wanted to use Yang Yuan as a prop to show his loyalty to Qin Hui, but now he was surprised and delighted. He half-raised his buttocks and bowed respectfully, saying, "Please let Mr. Yang know clearly."

Yang Yuan said, "First of all, I need the prefect to find me a kitten of excellent appearance as soon as possible. Of course, it must be a flawless white lion cat."

"Okay, okay, then what?"

"Then, the prefect only needs to do this..."

Yang Yuan spoke slowly and Cao Yong listened attentively, frowning from time to time and then relaxing his brows.

He understood what Yang Yuan said, but even if the whole plan went smoothly, it seemed... it was not the result he wanted.

However, Yang Yuan understood that all of the above were necessary steps to solve the problem.

But that's not what his clients want.

This next step, which is superfluous, is the finishing touch of the entire plan.

However, this last step requires the smooth execution of the previous plan, otherwise it will not be a perfect finishing touch but will instead backfire.

When Yang Yuan told him the last step, Governor Cao couldn't help but applaud.

Wonderful!

This is the highest realm of flattery, flattery is invisible and the means have reached perfection!
County Magistrate Xu, who was listening attentively, was also amazed.

In this way, Madam Tong was satisfied, Prime Minister Qin was satisfied, Prefect Cao was satisfied, and this county... was also satisfied!
Everyone is happy!
this is a master
Cao Yong stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Yang Yuan.

"Your talent is truly admirable. I am truly fortunate to have your guidance!

"I really don't know how to thank you, sir. These are just some money-grubbing things, please don't mind..."

Yang Yuan's mind moved, and he suddenly thought of something more useful than making money from Cao Yong.

He laughed and said, "You are too kind, it's just a small matter, why should I be rewarded?

"Yang does have a request, but... it's a little presumptuous..."

Cao Yong has now decided to establish a relationship with this "Youqiusi".

Therefore, Cao Yong said without hesitation: "Mr. Yang, just tell me. As long as this government can do it, there will be no hesitation."

Yang Yuan said: "On May 19th, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, a friend of mine is going to compete with others for the first place in the tide-diving competition.

"He is my dearest relative, and I want to help him, but my words are not important.

"I wonder if Governor Cao can invite a few close friends to sit in the Wanghai Tower on May 19th.

"All we need to do is drink and watch the tide. The presence of the prefect is a boost to my friend's reputation!"

Cao Yong was surprised and asked, "On May 19th, we went to the Wanghai Tower to watch the tide?"

Yang Yuan said: "Yes, my friend likes to play with the waves. It would be a pity if no one watched.

"The prefect is a respected and prestigious person. If we can have a banquet at Wanghai Tower and watch the tide, my friend will be regarded as a fox taking advantage of the tiger's power."

Cao Yong didn't quite believe that Yang Yuan's reason could be so simple. As the prefect of Lin'an, who would be willing to waste the favor like this?
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any way to avoid it.

He was planning to establish close ties with Youqiusi, so he thought about it hastily and couldn't think of any harm.
He readily agreed, "Okay, I agree to this matter. On that day, I will bring my friends to Wanghai Tower."

Yang Yuan quickly stood up and thanked him. Cao Yong smiled and said, "How can there be no prize for playing with the tide? Let me set the prize!"

Yang Yuan was delighted. This Cao prefect was very considerate. He even wanted to accept the bonus from Nongchao.
This time, I not only borrowed Cao Yong's power, but also borrowed Cao Yong's wealth, so I can save some money again.

Yang Yuan thanked him happily and then said goodbye to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong insisted on seeing him off, but as the prefect of Lin'an, how could he send someone dressed as a hanger-on out?

So Cao Yong led Yang Yuan to the side door of the government office.

When they arrived at the side door of the government office, Yang Yuan asked Cao Yong to stay. Cao Yong waved to the housekeeper, took the box, and handed it to him with a smile.

"Sir, please accept this small gift."

When Yang Yuan saw that Cao Yong was struggling to take the box from the butler, he knew that the things inside were not simple.

After getting the box in his hands, Yang Yuan's hands suddenly sank downwards, and he quickly exerted some strength to finally hold it up.

So heavy..., this is gold!
Although Yang Yuan did not open the box, he knew from the weight of the small box that it was not filled with silver.

One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for one string of coins. This Governor Cao is really generous.

But Yang Yuan still declined, saying, "I have already been honored by the prefect to help my friend.

"The prefect also accepted the bonus for watching the tide. How can Yang accept the prefect's generous gift?"

Cao Yong said: "I am convinced by your plan. Please do not refuse this reward."

Yang Yuan was unwilling to accept it, but the gold was too heavy, so he had to hold it tightly to his chest and refuse sincerely.

After a lot of pushing and shoving between the two, Yang Yuancai finally accepted the offer with a smile.

The housekeeper opened the corner door, looked out, and seeing that there were no pedestrians on the road, he stepped aside.

It was not convenient for Cao Yong and Xu Haisheng to continue seeing him off, so they said goodbye to Yang Yuan and watched him walk out carrying a heavy box.

There is no way. It is certainly convenient to use official Jiaozi, but these officials are unwilling to use it.

The transaction of gold and silver, the coming and going, is just a matter between two people.

But the official Jiaozi had to go through a money house, so the officials were very cautious.

After the corner gate was closed, Magistrate Xu smiled and said, "It's nothing that the prefect gave him a generous gift, but it's a bit of a condescension for the prefect to send him off."

Both of them gave gifts to Yang Yuan and did not hide anything from each other, so Cao Yong felt close to Xu Haisheng.

Hearing what he said, she laughed and said, "When it comes to marriage, you give silver and I give gold.

“After all, we didn’t give it to Yang Yuan, but to Prime Minister Qin.

"Besides, today it seems that this 'Youqiu Si' is indeed very capable.

"You and I have been through ups and downs in the political world, and there will inevitably be times of storm and rough seas.

"If I make a good relationship with Yang Yuan today, I might have an extra way out in the future, don't you think?"

County Magistrate Xu nodded in agreement. Seeing that the prefect attached so much importance to the "Youqiu Division", he couldn't help but feel even more in awe.

Yang Yuan was holding a box of gold, but he didn't dare to show it off in public.

Whether he is deep or not is another matter. People in the underworld have a very sharp vision.
If they saw it, they would immediately guess that the box contained yellow and white objects.

In order to avoid any further complications, Yang Yuan rented a mule cart nearby and asked the driver to take him to the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant.

Yingge gave me a batch of jewelry, um..., there is still the balance to be paid.

County Magistrate Xu gave a box of silver, and Prefect Cao gave a box of gold...

Yang Yuan patted the box on his lap, a smug look on his face.

This is the absolute advantage that can be gained by having unique products and services.

In such a short period of time, even before the official opening, we have already obtained such huge profits.

future……

It’s worth looking forward to!
