The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Whether it's 30,000 or 15,000 people, they all need to be settled. Look at how many vacancies there are in the existing factories in Fengying. While Boss Qian hasn't returned to Nancheng yet, we should hurry up and build the factories in Fengying. If Boss Qian leaves, the task of building factories and getting rich will fall on Cheng Feng and Shang Xi. Anyway, this is your job, so you three should figure it out."

Cang Man said: "My Lord, you are too evil. Not only do you make full use of everything, you also plan to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor."

Wan Lianxing said: "How can you think so badly of me? I will pay and you will do the work."

"My Lord, I am not the only one who thinks this of you. My boss Qian also thinks this of you. If you use us like this, my boss will pack up and leave."

"Oh? Boss Qian is packing up and leaving?"

"Cang Man, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I think of you like this?" No matter how Boss Qian tried to signal Cang Man, it was useless. Boss Qian's back was soaked with cold sweat. The people should not fight against the officials, not to mention that this was Wan Lianxing. Even if he had resentment in his heart, he could not vent it. He could only endure it. "Your Majesty, this is all Cang Man's nonsense. Don't believe him."

Wan Lianxing touched the little monkey beside his leg and said with a half-smile, "I don't think so. Cangman is a straightforward person and what he said is probably not false. If you pack up and leave without keeping you, I want to ask Wan Baiqian what you are going to do?"

Cang Man said: "I don't want my wife and children anymore."

Boss Qian stood up and kicked Cangman hard, just to make him shut up: "Can you stop hurting me? When did I say I don't want my wife and children anymore?"

"Boss, why are you so cowardly? Haven't you figured out that this marquis is using you? Your people came from South City, but he doesn't care anymore. He's acting like a hands-off boss. You're working like a slave for the Wan family. If you don't leave now, you'll be kicked out sooner or later, and you'll be even more embarrassed by then."

Wan Lianxing was not afraid of making things worse. He said with a smile, "Since this matter involves so many people, let's go and invite Qian Bai to come, and invite my brother and sister-in-law as well. After the matter is explained clearly, Boss Qian can pack up and leave."

"My Lord, calm down. If you want me to build a factory, I will. Don't invite my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and don't disturb Bai Qian. She will give birth in two months. Don't disturb her or she will upset the fetus."

Wan Lianxing looked at the people present and said, "I will pay for the construction of the factory, you can use the people as you like, and the money earned will be yours. I don't want a penny."

"You don't want the money you earn?"

"I am a clean-handed person, why would I need so much money?"

Cang Man interrupted: "My Lord, your family is stockpiled with gold, right?"

Wan Lianxing laughed, "I am an official of the imperial court, and you are businessmen. What you value may not be in my eyes, and you may not understand what I want to do, but let's talk about the facts. You will not lose anything in this matter. I, Wan Lianxing, will not take advantage of you younger generations, nor will I use your 30,000 people for nothing. When I don't need them, these people will still be used by you. There is no loss for these people who came from afar, they just changed places. I just let these people add popularity to my Fengying. When the day of war comes, everything will be another matter."

Those who can speak are not as good as those who can listen. Cangman was very clever this time. He understood and then changed the subject: "I said that the Marquis is a righteous man and would not do unkind and unjust things. According to this, it doesn't matter where the factory is built, except that the coal mine in the south city cannot be moved here. The candles are grown and the cigarettes are made, and they are the same anywhere. Besides, the Marquis has paid for the construction of the factory, and it is in the Marquis' territory. The relationship between the upper and lower levels is naturally connected, so it is not a loss no matter how you calculate it. There is another advantage. This Fengying has a geographical advantage. It is closest to the Southern Tobacco Country. The goods can be transported to the Southern Tobacco Country. Why not do it?"

Cheng Feng said: "There will be a war soon, and you still dare to go to the Southern Yan Kingdom. This is not a good time to go abroad."

"What is there to be afraid of? We have a business license, so what do we have to be afraid of? I'm going to Liulichang to order some goods these days, and prepare to ship the Liuli to the southern Yan Kingdom. There are also sugar and sweet potato flour that Fengying needs to sell out. Order them quickly. I'll bring more things this time. I'm going to look for business opportunities and explore the way. Cheng Feng, will you come with me?"

Cheng Feng said: "I won't go. Shang Xi is not at home, and she won't let me go even if she is at home."

"Why are you so afraid of Shang Xi?"

Cheng Feng said, "Didn't I go out with you guys once? After that time in jail, I made an agreement with Shang Xi that I would never go out to do business again. Besides, I don't have any business sense. I just followed you guys to look around and enjoy the scenery. Besides, it was very cold when I went out last time. It's not good to be in the ice and snow."

Cang Man said: "You are so boring. The last time we went out was winter, and we went to the north. This time we are going to the south. The scenery must be better than here."

Boss Qian said, "Cang Man, don't encourage Cheng Feng. He can't go. No one in the Wan family will agree to let him go far away, let alone to the southern Yan Kingdom. You should take your own people."

"Well, I'll go by myself, it's just not that interesting."

Boss Qian said, "Normally, I should go with you this time, but I can't leave due to Bai Qian's current situation. I'll go with you next time."

At this time Wan Lianxing asked: "How is the Southern Yan Kingdom?"

Cangman's eyes widened. "The southern Yan Kingdom is vast and rich in resources. Most importantly, there is money. There is no shortage of food and drink. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. Every household is happy and harmonious. That place is great."

Wan Lianxing asked again: "How many days will this trip take?"

"The route this time has been decided, at least three months."

"It takes so long?"

"It's my first time there, so I can't say what I'll encounter. With my experience of traveling all over the country, I'm sure I won't be able to come back in three months. If this goes well, I'll set up a cargo point for our Qianzihao there, so it will be easier for me to go there next time."

Wan Lianxing said: "Bring more people with you and set up a few more of your own cargo points. When I have the chance, I will also go to the southern Yan Kingdom to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Boss Qian stopped him, "My Lord, don't listen to Cangman's nonsense. Going out is not as smooth as Cangman said. There are so many bandits there. None of us has been to the Southern Yan Kingdom. Don't believe Cangman. As a Lord, you'd better not go so far."

Wan Lianxing nodded. Due to his official duties, it was difficult for him to go far away, but he was still envious. "The farthest place I have been to is Fengying."
