Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

You Chun could only sit there while Bai Lingjun sat at the top, letting the merchants below communicate with each other. They also knew a thing or two about some of the news.

Xie Zezhi, however, was observing the young man beside him at this moment, "Did Mr. You just return to Que County?"

"I'm going back to the county town. It's almost the end of the year and my family is urging me to go back." You Chun was sitting alone, facing so many people, but he didn't seem embarrassed.

Xie Zezhi nodded. He knew about the You family, which was just taken in by Xie Xian. Now it was a good time for this boy to serve the queen.

He said calmly: "Ah Xian is a girl, and I will need Mr. You's help in many things in the future."

"It is my honor to serve you, my lady." You Chun showed a look of panic.

"Good! Come with me. This is the head of the Huang family. His family is in the jade business. This is the head of the Wen family. The firewood and charcoal shop on West Street belongs to him..."

Xie Zezhi was of course happy to have someone to help. As Xie Xian's uncle, he naturally had to consider his niece, so he couldn't wait to introduce the newly appointed Deacon You to everyone.

As You Chun glanced at each person, the forces behind them automatically popped up in his mind.

Well! This Huang has the backing of King Chen. In addition to selling jade, he also does some kidnapping and trafficking. We cannot cooperate with him.

Isn't this Wen the boss behind the local tyrants in Que County? It seems that he has a feud with the lady and cannot cooperate with her.

You Chun is truly worthy of being the elite of the largest intelligence organization. He has so much information about various parties that he can tell who is good and who is bad at a glance.

In less than a cup of tea, all the people who came were screened, and those who could cooperate with them were selected.

Seeing how he handled the situation with ease, Xie Xian looked through the curtain with satisfaction in her heart. She thought she had found the right person. His attitude towards people was different, so he must know something. As expected, he was the most well-informed person.

She sighed in her heart, are all the people who walk the rat path so powerful? There were also people who troubled You Chun, but he sent them away with a few words, and there was no need for Xie Ze's help at all.

This guy has some stuff, and I have to use it now. Even though he is injured, I can't hold him back.

Seeing that the Xie family steward was a bit difficult to deal with, everyone prepared to use the simplest means to suppress You Chun. Toast!

You Chun's expression changed slightly. The wounds on his body were healing slowly, and if he drank alcohol, the efficacy of the medicine would definitely be reduced by half. But at this moment, facing the malicious gazes of everyone, he did not back down.

He took the wine glass from the maid and drank it all, but the refreshing aroma of tea entered his mouth. He was a little surprised, but he remained expressionless and turned to look towards the side hall. When Xie Xian saw him looking at her, she blinked and signaled him to do his best.

You Chun seemed to be warmed by her bright smile. He looked away expressionlessly and immersed himself in the drinking game.

Xie family steward? Not bad, he thought.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone started the final bidding process. Xie Zezhi and Xie Xian discussed for a long time and decided to use a secret bid.

Using clear bids can easily offend people. To avoid embarrassment, everyone writes their bids on a piece of paper, folds it up, and the highest bidder wins.

Of course, these are based on the fact that the quality of the goods is the same. However, Que County is not big, and most of the merchants who come here know each other. The competition is not that fierce. They are all well-known people, so everyone knows each other.

Xie Xian looked at them all calmly and sneered in her heart. That was why she agreed to use a secret bid! It would be fun if they turned against each other later.

You Chun narrowed his eyes. He had anticipated this situation, but he was not as optimistic as Xie Xian.

When the first round of bids were announced, everyone was shocked. They had agreed to sit in a row and eat fruit, but someone did not play by the rules. Xie Xian only announced the bidding results and never mentioned what the price was.

"The Wang family is too unpolite. Cloth is not their exclusive business, so why are they joining the competition?" Someone was unhappy. He was the largest cloth merchant in Que County.

The Wang family steward sneered: "Although my Wang family is not good at the cloth business in Que County, it does not mean that there is no cloth business in other places."

"Everyone knows this. The Wang family's foundation is in the south, and many mulberry gardens belong to them. This is a good opportunity!" Everyone's minds raced, and they suddenly realized that the plan set up by the Xie family was not simple.

The mine purchases are all in large quantities, and I heard that a wharf has been built in Blackrock Guard. As long as our own goods can be shipped through the Huai River, we can have more sales channels. Why not do it?

Besides, with Lord Bai Ling here, no one dares to use his power to bully others. This is a good opportunity to open up sales channels for our company.

There are no fools here. No one would think that this will disrupt the market structure of Que County. The Xie family mine provides food, clothing, housing and necessities for thousands of people. This is a new cake that is still hot!

You Chun saw that the people around the table had changed from being arranged according to seniority at the beginning to now having their own ulterior motives. The people from each family were divided into factions based on their region and closeness.

The merchants, on the other hand, split into another faction, and finally the small vendors huddled together for warmth.

Just a secret bid was enough to make the originally invulnerable merchants automatically disintegrate into three forces in less than a cup of tea. He stroked the small pot in his hand, wondering in his heart, could such a method really be done by the lady of Xie family?

Xie Xian in the side hall finally smiled, ate and drank happily, and responded to Meng's casual conversation.

Meng saw that she was absent-minded, so she left, making an excuse that she had to look after the backyard.

Xie Xian nodded and said, "Thank you for accompanying me, Madam. Go and see my brothers and sisters soon!" She readily agreed.

When all the prices in the front hall were settled, everyone left one after another. The only thing left was to go to the county government to sign the deed.

When You Chun entered the side hall, he saw Xie Xian looking boredly at Songyuan Yazhu across the street. He coughed lightly and sat down beside the low table.

Xie Xian turned around and saw that he had finally finished his work, and came back to her senses. Oh, how boring it was. If she had known that she didn't have to do it herself, she would have wanted to lie down immediately.

She smiled and offered You Chun a cup of tea, "Thank you, Mr. You, for today," and then showed an expression that said, "What would I do without you?"

You Chun looked at the teacup in front of him, did not take it, and gave Xie Xian a displeased look.

Xie Xian immediately remembered that this person must have drunk a lot of tea just now. She withdrew her hand somewhat angrily, thinking that drinking too much tea would make it difficult to sleep.

"Today, the bidding is under the control of the lady, and Chun dare not take credit for it." He said this sincerely. In addition to bidding, Xie Xian also proposed a sales model of pre-ordering honeycomb coal, but this requires a deposit to be paid first.

He watched helplessly as people from merchant families came here to sell goods, bid, make reservations, and pay money.

Moreover, Xie Xian’s rule is that the deposit must be paid within three days, otherwise the batch of goods will be postponed to the person who made the reservation later.

This move was not ruthless. He felt that the shopkeepers had lost three taels of weight when they left. So, they were all in a hurry to mobilize funds.
