I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

As soon as the price of fifty taels of silver for one tael of tea was announced, the whole audience fell silent, and then an even greater uproar broke out.

"Are you sure? The product of the thousand-year-old tea tree of the Yuntian Chamber of Commerce is only worth fifty taels of silver per tael. Can this tea be compared with the product of the thousand-year-old tea tree?"

"You have two arms? The price was set by Old Master Yun himself. Doesn't he know whether it's worth it or not?"

A large group of businessmen were talking about this. Although they knew that this was a way to make money, they had no choice but to give up because the money in their pockets could not compare with Yun Langtian's.

Jiang Yuan slammed the table. Fifty taels, this price was far beyond his expectations.

"Alright! Patriarch Yun is offering fifty taels of silver per tael for 2,500 bottles of tea. The next auction will be for the remaining half, divided into two lots, each auctioning one thousand bottles!"

Yun Langtian's mouth twitched fiercely.

Profiteering businessman! Profiteering businessman!

I thought I could finalize the supply of all goods at once, but you only auctioned half of them.

What to do with the remaining half? To drive up prices, of course.

But this move is really clever. Everyone knows that rare things are valuable.

Looking at Yun Langtian's reaction, Jiang Yuan smiled slightly. This was exactly the result he wanted.

If he only sells tea to one company, there will obviously be a monopoly effect. If the other party does something weird, will he have to make another trip to Luoyun City?

Stop it, I'm very busy.

"Great! So there are still some left, and there are only a thousand bottles. Even if the price is fifty taels, it's still only fifty thousand taels of silver. I'm going to fight for it no matter what!"

"Ask for thirty taels of silver per ounce!"

"I'll give you thirty-five!"

"Fifty taels!"

Another loud shout was heard, and this time the person who shouted made everyone feel a little incredible.

Li Yun.

The guy who was competing with Jiang Yuan in tea drinking last night, now stood up in public to buy Jiang Yuan's tea.

"For this little bit of tea, are you even losing your dignity?" someone whispered.

Jiang Yuan was only a little surprised that Li Yun could offer a price. After all, how could someone who could fight with Yun Langtian for decades be a fool?

Generally speaking, making money is not a bad thing.

"Is there anyone who wants to pay more?" Jiang Yuan looked around with a smile and directly finalized the result of this round.

Jiang Yuan was really surprised by the winner of the next round of auction, as it turned out to be Bai Ming, the lackey.

After all the auctions were over, Jiang Yuan looked at the many "leeks" in the audience with a smile, ah, the many angel investors.

"Everyone, the auction of Daluo Tea has come to an end. Don't be discouraged if you didn't win any. Everyone who participated in this auction will receive three bottles of Daluo Tea as a gift. If you need any in the future, you can come to Taiping County to find me."

"Taiping County has many products that are not inferior to Daluo Tea. See you later!"

After shouting this, Jiang Yuan immediately brought Yun Langtian, Li Yun, Bai Ming, and Fatty Zhuge into the room.

"Jiang...little brother." Yun Langtian, who originally wanted to call him Lord Jiang, decisively changed his words after being glared at by Jiang Yuan.

"Haha! Please take a seat." Jiang Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand.

Wang Gang walked in with great effort, carrying a large stack of papers.

"If you are sure you want to cooperate, then take a look at our contract." Jiang Yuan smiled and let them look through it themselves.

The contract was divided into four parts, each of which had more than a dozen pages, and the font was so small that it made people's scalps numb.

Yun Langtian looked at two pictures with gritted teeth, and found that there was really no big problem, so he simply stopped looking at them.

"I have no problem, you can sign it."

The slightly younger Li Yun was also extremely anxious. Half an hour later, Li Yun and his companions breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem, but what do you mean by my last sentence, 'The final right of interpretation belongs to Taiping County'?"

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly: "Well, there's nothing special about this. As long as you don't break the contract, this statement is nonsense."

"So what does this sentence mean? If someone breaks the agreement, they will be impotent, infertile but with many children and grandchildren, pus will flow from their head, sores will form on the soles of their feet, and they will be paralyzed on one side of their body*&*... There's no toilet paper, but there's a loquat tree growing tall and gracefully at home? Can you change it a little?"

After reading for five or six minutes in one breath, Li Yun looked at Jiang Yuan with a dry mouth.

"No! It can't be changed at all." Jiang Yuan refused directly.

Several people wiped the sweat from their foreheads at the same time. What kind of weird contract is this?

They didn’t care about the long-winded talk at the beginning, but what about the curse and the final right of interpretation at the end?

Yun Langtian thought carefully for a moment and decided to sign. After all, Jiang Yuan was a county magistrate. He couldn't do something like giving birth to a child without an anus, right?

"Okay, everyone, I wish us a happy cooperation. From now on, you just need to go to Taiping County to pick up the goods at the beginning of every month." Jiang Yuan's face was full of smiles, but to the four people, this smile looked like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Yun Langtian stood up first.

As he approached the door, Jiang Yuan slapped his forehead and spoke quickly, "By the way, everyone, our Taiping County has been living in the deep mountains for a long time. There's a group of bandits entrenched in the mountains for a long time. They occupy a natural barrier, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, every time you pass by, you need to pay a toll. Five hundred taels of silver, not much."

Yun Langtian and his companions nodded and agreed without thinking. Compared to the business they were doing, five hundred taels of silver was not a lot.

After they left, Chen Qing looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion: "Sir, isn't Black Cloud Mountain gone?"

Jiang Yuan straightened his expression and patted Chen Qing on the shoulder: "Well, you are the leader of Black Cloud Mountain. Isn't it you who has the final say on whether this is allowed or not?"

Okay, you want to make money from both the black and white worlds, Chen Qing nodded immediately.

Jiang Yuan laughed and walked out of the room. This journey was already half completed. As for the other half, he believed there would be no problem.

"Master, when are we going back?" Wang Gang asked, scratching his head.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Wang Gang, you will come with me to see the governor this afternoon. Zhao Kai, Li Hu, and the others will receive ten taels of silver from the bank account and are free to move around."

"How about I go with you?" Zhao Kai said eagerly.

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you really think you can wear a Dragon Guard token wherever you go?"

Zhao Kai scratched his head and had to give up.

Yun Langtian took two thousand five hundred out of the five thousand bottles of tea, while Li Yun and Bai Ming took one thousand.

Logically, there should be 500 bottles left, but three bottles were given to each person who didn't take the photo, so only 350 were left. 300 bottles were given to Fatty Zhuge, and the remaining 50 bottles were all packed by Jiang Yuan and placed in a brocade box.

After lunch, Jiang Yuan asked Wang Gang to find out Tian Wen's address and then went out.

A moment later, in Tian Wen's mansion, the governor walked slowly and stood there in a daze, looking at Jiang Yuan in a black robe and county magistrate's uniform.

Jiang Yuan calmly bowed and said, "I am Jiang Yuan, the Magistrate of Taiping County. I pay my respects to the Governor."
