Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 347 The Husband
Duan Zhishan laughed loudly, "Where can I call Duan Gong, this young master really flatters me, come here, sit down quickly, come here, and don't bring me some fruit and tea!"

Fu Xuanrong and Li Junhao took their seats together, and went straight to business before the tea was served, "Mr. Duan, you are a smart person, you must have understood the purpose of my visit today."

"I did guess it, but I'm afraid I can't agree to it."

"Oh? Can you give me another reason?"

"Hey, it's said that raising rice raises kindness, and fighting rice raises hatred. I do have some spare money, but how can I take care of all these refugees? Besides, once this is done, other idlers in Jiangnan will use this as an excuse. Come here to ask for silver taels, am I being taken advantage of?"

Fu Xuanrong nodded, "Mr. Duan is still considerate, but I'm here today not to ask you to give money directly, but to discuss business."

"Business?" Duan Zhishan suddenly became interested, "Young master, why not tell me what kind of business it is."

"I also have a batch of silver taels in my hand now, enough to build several factories, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to support the subsequent operation."

"So what does the young master mean, that you want me to give you money to help you run the factory?"

"good."

Duan Zhishan added a cup of tea for himself, and smiled meaningfully, "I don't seem to be getting a good deal on this deal."

"Don't worry, Mr. Duan. After the factory is completed, you will receive seven points of all the silver taels and three points will belong to the common people. In addition, the imperial court will also send a sum of money every year. How to deal with it is up to the local officials in Jiangnan. I will intervene, and it’s all up to Duan Gong.”

Since it is the money distributed by the imperial court, the amount must not be small, even if it is accumulated year after year, it is enough to pay back the capital.

Duan Gong stroked his beard and said, "But how can I be sure that those refugees can stay and work safely? If they take advantage of their own identities to make trouble in the factory, I can't send people directly Suppression, if one or two more lives are caused, it will be my fault."

Fu Xuanrong's expression remained unchanged, "Don't worry, Mr. Duan, I will order the people in the court to patrol around the factory in turn. If there is any riot, they will solve it directly without your help. This will save a lot of trouble and worries. "

"The conditions proposed by the young master are really exciting, but I have to think about it, after all, this is not a small investment."

Fu Xuanrong smiled, "Naturally, Mr. Duan, you are a well-known benevolent person, and you have to give away a lot of money to help the poor in the past. I believe you also have the heart of helping the world."

"My lord, I'm just joking. I'm just an ordinary businessman. I smell of copper all over my body. I dare not wear this tall hat casually." Once he wears it, he will inevitably have to spend money and effort.

"Mr. Duan, think about it carefully. Apart from the two things I just said, I can make you a promise."

"What promise?"

"In recent years, business on the water has become more and more difficult. There are water bandits everywhere. As long as Duan Gong is willing to help, I will send a team to escort your merchant ship. Among them, there will be artillery and steel armor escort."

Duan Gong's eyes changed.

Although he has earned a lot of money over the years, he is a businessman after all, and things that are only available in the court, such as artillery and steel armor, have never been accessible, so he has been attacked by pirates many times.

If it is true what this young man in white said, then his business will definitely spread throughout the entire Jiangnan port.

"I've already said what needs to be said. Mr. Duan should think about it carefully. If he has made a decision, he will send a letter..."

"No need to think about it, I promise you."

Fu Xuan smiled and held out her hand, "Okay! Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Duan Zhishan also smiled, and shook his hand back: "It's a happy cooperation."

The decision on this matter was too hasty, and the specific matters had to be further negotiated.

After all, Fu Xuanrong was a woman, and the outside was very chaotic, so she couldn't move around often, so she simply told Li Junhao and General Lian all the plans in her heart, and asked them to help make the plans.

Three days later, the construction of the factory officially started. Duan Zhishan took advantage of it this time, so he generously spent several thousand taels of silver to open a porridge shop, and piled up a mountain of steamed buns for the refugees to eat.

After coming and going, these fleeing people regarded him as a great benefactor, and even praised some gods behind their backs. When Fu Xuanrong heard this, her mouth almost burst into laughter.

"What Duan Immortal, it should be called Fu Immortal, I came up with this idea."

Li Junhao did not comment on this, after all, it doesn't matter who is a god, the most important thing is to quickly build a factory.

"You said earlier that sending a team to Duan Zhishan was to report to the imperial court and be arranged by the emperor?"

"How could it be that your father wouldn't agree to it? Artillery is simply a problem for him. How can he let it fall to the people?"

"Then what are your plans?"

Fu Xuanrong blinked, "Of course, some people from the Yin sect came here. Don't forget, my people can also make steel armor artillery, and they are definitely more advanced than the imperial court."

"I'm afraid I can't hide it from the prince."

"I didn't intend to hide it from him. Because of this factory, Duan Zhishan has already won the hearts of the people. If the crown prince went to the emperor to read his book, the common people, especially the refugees in the south of the Yangtze River, would definitely regard the crown prince as a thorn in their side. A thorn in the flesh, slandering and insulting everywhere, do you think Li Chen who cares so much about his reputation would be so stupid as to destroy his own reputation?"

At this moment, Li Junhao fully understands what kind of medicine Fu Xuanrong sells in the gourd, and he also admires her many calculations and strategies in his heart.

"You woman, where do you know so many things?"

Fu Xuanrong raised her chin proudly, bragging without blushing, "Don't forget, I'm a phoenix that has lived for hundreds of years, and I've seen so many big scenes, what is this?"

"Well, the lady is indeed smart."

"That's right, but you always call me Xuanrong, and occasionally you call me lady, shouldn't I also call you a different name?"

Should it be called?

Li Junhao pursed his slender lips, and there was some anticipation in his heart, "Yes, you can just think about it."

"How can you think about such things casually, you have to think about it seriously." Fu Xuanrong rubbed her chin, frowning for a while, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, "Why don't I call you my lord like the Jiangnan girls?"

"Lang Jun?" Li Junhao was tired of this title, "Inappropriate, change."

"Then Fulang?" Fu Xuanrong leaned in front of him and called out several times, "Fulang~~Lang~~"

"……To shut up!"
