The court tribute tea provider is selected once every three years, and at that time, the imperial merchants of each state capital will select the tea landlords with the best tea quality in their territory to pay tribute.

There are not many teas that are paid tribute to the palace every year, but it is an incomparable honor for everyone to get the signboard of tribute tea. The benefits brought by the signboard of "tribute tea" are definitely more than that earned by the tribute tea Silver, with this glory, the future business will definitely double. Therefore, every time it comes to the tribute tea election, all the landowners who have tea gardens in their hands will actively prepare and try their best to fight for it.

This year's competition is particularly fierce. The lazy landowners in Shiqiao Town in previous years were stimulated this year, and one by one began to try their best to fight for it, and everyone was very united. They even formed an alliance and decided to fight for the honor of "Gong Cha". It really opened the eyes of the landlords in other towns in Jiangyi County.

In addition, Wu Ji, who is the most popular in Shiqiao Town, will definitely not lag behind. The Wu family can also be seen in the figure of the tribute tea voters, but I don’t know if it is because the Wu family is developing too fast and things are too fast. Busy, everyone saw that the servants of the Wu family who came to run for office, Wu Qingyuan did not come in person.

This not only displeased the big merchants who presided over the election, but also the other landlords who participated in the election breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Boss Wu's means are good, but he is still too young. He sent a servant to handle such an important matter. Be careful to offend the big merchants and you will definitely lose the election.

But what didn't make everyone happy for too long was that even the servants of the Wu family should not be underestimated. The efficiency and effect of Wu Ji's servants were not what everyone expected. It made everyone burnt out.

Other landlords give gifts, the Wu family also gives gifts, other landlords invite dinner, the Wu family also invites dinner, and other landlords flatter. The quality is also top notch.

Seeing that the servants of the Wu family were about to coax the people from the big merchants into handing over the errands of tribute tea to the Wu family, Mrs. Qian and the others were extremely anxious. The tribute tea quota was their last straw, and without this opportunity, They really had no choice but to leave Shiqiao Town, and they had formed such a big enmity with the Wu family. They absolutely did not believe that the Wu family would die so easily, so they must not let the Wu family get the opportunity to get tribute tea!

In order to win the quota of tribute tea, Mrs. Qian and the others tried their best to bribe big merchants. They doubled the amount of money the Wu family sent, and doubled what the Wu family did. In short, They didn't believe that they were superior to the Wu family in everything and that the opportunity to pay tribute couldn't just fall on them!

So in this fierce competition, all the landlords in other towns were defeated this year, and in the end only the Wu family and Mrs. Qian from Shiqiao Town were left in a stalemate.

However, when everyone was nervously guessing who would be the winner of this year's tribute tea quota, the Wu family suddenly chose to withdraw from the election, and the servants in charge returned to Shiqiao Town with things and people in a flash. The big merchants were confused, and Mrs. Qian and others were even more confused. They were fighting for such a critical moment. How could the Wu family just give up? Isn't it stupid?

The rest of the Wu family were puzzled, and Li Yuanwai, who had become an ally of the Wu family, was also puzzled. They guessed that Wu Qingyuan must be doing something, but they guessed the specifics. If the Wu family gets the signboard of tribute tea, the business of the Wu family will definitely be improved to a higher level.

"The last time when Wu was away, I would like to thank Mr. Li for helping my husband through the difficulties. If Mr. Li believes in Wu, let people buy more fields and hills..."

Wu Qingyuan didn't explain too much, but just reminded Li Yuanwai what to do next. When he was away, Li Yuanwai helped the Wu family. Today, even if he repays Li Yuanwai, the benefits have been sent here. It's up to Li Yuanwai to do it or not. Members outside their own.

Li Yuanwai is a smart man, he paused for a while and thanked him for going home. He believed in the Wu family, an old man's intuition, and he had to pave a smooth road for the descendants of the Li family before going into the soil...

When reminding Li Yuanwai to buy land, Wu Qingyuan was not far behind. He started preparations when the tribute tea campaign was held and invested all the funds on hand in the field.

If you want to develop business in a place, the premise is that the people in this place are rich enough. Only when the people are full and rich will they have extra money to spend, and the business can be promoted. Therefore, the Wu family's factory must be developed, and at the same time the land property Also act quickly.

The Wu family's corn and rice has gradually gained a little reputation in Shiqiao Town, and I believe that people outside will know it soon. It developed before coming to the door, and when it cooperates with those big merchants to promote grain, the Wu family will occupy a place in Xia Guo's grain reform.

Last year, because of the interference of Mrs. Qian and others, it was impossible to carry out these things, and now they must act as soon as possible.

And sending servants to campaign for the tribute tea quota is naturally not because he wants to get the tribute tea signboard. When he was in Jiangyi Prefecture, the Qi family reminded him that this time the tribute tea quota will give rise to right and wrong. Sending people to compete is naturally to stimulate money. Madam and others.

With his current strength, he can only get all of these people at once, and he can't kill them all at once like he does in the last days. If he wants to solve it once and for all, he can only use his strength. Since Mrs. Qian and others are desperately putting all their chips in If they were on the same boat, it would be no fault of him if the boat capsized.

.............

The Wu family gave up the opportunity to run for tribute tea, and the other landlords lost the election long ago. There was no competition, and the tribute tea quota naturally fell to Mrs. Qian and the others.

Everyone should be happy to have this opportunity, but Mrs. Qian and the others are not happy anymore. They always feel that something is wrong, and they feel a little trembling. Wu Qingyuan threatened them like that before, and this time the tribute tea campaign is here. Why did the Wu family suddenly give up at the last important moment? It's so strange!

Having played against Wu Qingyuan so many times, Mrs. Qian also has some understanding of Wu Qingyuan's behavior style. This time, the Wu family gave up the election at the last moment, which made her feel an ominous premonition, but she couldn't figure it out. What's the problem? At this moment, all the chips have been invested in and there is no way out. No matter how wrong I feel, I can only bite the bullet and go down this road.

At the same time, the Wu family's branches also unknowingly set up branches in most small towns in Jiangyi County, as well as "Wu Ji Cargo", a shop that is similar to an escort agency but not an escort agency, similar to a caravan but not a caravan Base points have also been established in various small towns.

For the people in the town, they don't quite know what the use of "Wu Ji Cargo" is. If you want to send things, you have a government post, and if you want to transport things, you have an escort. The Wu family's freight shop is nothing too new for them. The place.

But if you are a modern person, you can understand what Wu Qingyuan wants to do. Advanced business concepts and precautions are the necessary qualities for every successful businessman. For express delivery, he wants to build an ancient version of express delivery company.

Backward communication and transportation was the biggest problem in the development of ancient times, especially for businessmen, the transportation of goods was a very big problem. If he wanted to quickly develop the Wu family's business, he needed to have his own transportation network.

Wuji Freight is not directly open to the common people, but to the inside of Wuji. Once this transportation network is successful, Wuji's business will develop rapidly in a short period of time, at a speed that no one can predict!

Jiang Da has been watching Wu Qingyuan's actions. After living in Wu's house for a few months, he found that his more than ten years of business experience and vision have been subverted, and the flame of struggle in his heart is blazing.

On the eve of leaving home, Jiang Da found Wu Qingyuan and had a secret talk with him for a few nights, and finally the two became partners, and Jiang Da got a plan and contract that Wu Qingyuan gave him alone.

The two signed an alliance across a river and sea. Wu Qingyuan developed in Xia Kingdom, and Jiang Da acted in his hometown island. While cooperating in business, if anyone is in trouble in the future, overseas is the way out for the Wu family, and Xia Guo is the way out. Jiang Da's asylum.

Anyone who keeps a hand, and those who start from scratch must keep a back door. All eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Before the end of this year, the Wu family was doing the business of the Wu family, and Madam Qian and others were busy preparing the tribute tea. Unlike last year when the business in the town was fiercely contested, everything seemed to have calmed down.

But it was like the calm before the storm. On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the emperor passed away, the prince died of illness, and the news of the second prince's ascension to the throne was suddenly announced to the world.

The news doesn't have much impact on the common people. It's just that the country has changed its emperor. It has nothing to do with them. As long as the new emperor pays miscellaneous taxes carefully, they can still farm and eat. For other officials and big merchants, this news is in their fundamental interests. big news.

The change of the emperor means the change of the power of the court, especially this time it is not the crown prince who was originally scheduled to take the throne, but the second prince who is inconspicuous. It is certain that the power of the court will change greatly. One can imagine the fate of people who are in the wrong position.

After the news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne was announced, in this new year, a large number of officials in the court were sacked, and the houses of major merchants outside were ransacked for various reasons. The officials suffered together, the whole family was convicted, and the family property was confiscated.

The big merchant Liu's family collapsed, and the tribute tea affairs that he was in charge of before naturally disappeared, which meant that Mrs. Qian and others who participated in the tribute tea election campaign lost all their bargaining chips overnight. !

The news is confirmed. Just like the predicament that the Wu family faced at the beginning, those supply bosses who cooperated with Mrs. Qian and others rushed to ask for debts. The Wu family owed goods on credit to them, and these people also have bills in their hands. , now it is clear that Mrs. Qian and the others are doomed, and they can't let themselves lose money as well.

Faced with the news from the imperial court and the demand for debts from the supply bosses, several big landlords in Shiqiao Town could not accept it on the spot and passed out. Madam Qian sat in a chair in a daze for a long time, unable to move.

If they stopped and left early or bowed their heads in peace, they might still be rich and continue to live their next life as the landlord and wife.

But in order to win the tribute tea election, they invested almost everything, ignoring other businesses during the competition. At this moment, all the business within a radius of [-] miles in Shiqiao Town is firmly controlled by the Wu family, and they have no chance of struggling.

The creditors come to the door, the money in their hands is not enough to repay the debt, and the empty shops are even more worthless. The only way out is to sell the land. After the matter is over, they will have nothing. Famous landlord families were transformed back into ordinary-class families.

He made a lot of noise, secretly plotted against Chen Cang, and only sent servants to campaign with Wu Qingyuan's character. They were all fooled by such an obvious method.

Now to blame, you can only blame them for being stupid and ignorant of how to cherish them. The Wu family actually gave them a chance. The other party sent the bandit corpse to their door not to threaten them, but to give them the last chance.

If they wanted to understand and cherish at that time, whether they bowed their heads to the Wu family or packed up their things and left, they would not have ended up where they are today.

It's a pity that if there is no if, the only person in Shiqiao Town who can see it clearly is Li Yuanwai, because the other party has a heart that they don't have.

"Call the accountant to liquidate the property... Also, call me Zhao Haisheng."

Madam Qian lowered her head bitterly, then clenched her fists.
