Chapter 19 The Wei family is not simple,
Liu Zhai.
Butler Liu An walked into the study with an ugly expression.
He is not from the Liu family, but was born in the Liu family since childhood and was later given a name.
"Master!" Liu An walked up to Liu Fugui and hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Liu Fugui, who was drinking tea, looked at Liu An in surprise.
Liu An hesitated for a moment, then took out an envelope from his arms with a look of embarrassment and handed it to Liu Fugui.
"Master, this is the banknote I gave to Mr. Zheng before!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Fugui frowned when he heard Liu An's words.
"Master Zheng said that the Wei family is not simple. They actually asked Master Li, the prefect, for help, so he can't help us with this matter." Liu An said with his head hanging down and a look of fear on his face.
After hearing Liu An's words, Liu Fugui's expression changed and he immediately put down his tea cup.
Pulling the envelope from Liu An's hand, he opened it and saw that it was indeed a few banknotes sent by him.
"How is it possible? How is it possible for an ordinary member of the Wei family to invite Lord Li? What does Magistrate Zheng mean?"
Liu Fugui naturally did not believe that the Wei family could invite the magistrate.
That was an existence that even he couldn't speak to.
"Master, is it possible that the Wei family has some unknown connection with the prefect?" Liu An said.
"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to see Magistrate Zheng!" Liu Fugui said coldly. He had to ask about this matter face to face.
After a long time, Liu Fugui arrived at the county government office in a carriage, but was turned away.
Faced with this result, Liu Fugui's heart sank to the bottom of his heart and his face turned extremely ugly.
No matter how much he didn't want to believe it, he had to accept this, a result he could never have imagined.
The Wei family actually invited the magistrate.
If not, how could Zheng Zhixian, who always loved money, be so frightened that he sent back the banknotes he received.
He even dared not see his own face.
"How could things become like this!" Liu Fugui really couldn't figure it out.
"Liu An, go and find out for me immediately what the relationship between the Wei family and Mr. Li is!" Liu Fugui said through gritted teeth.
There is really a lot of anger in my heart, and I have nowhere to vent it.
If he can't even deal with Wei Tieshan.
From now on, there will be no face left to talk about in this Qingzhou City.
At the same time, Qiu Xuanji, who was in Jianfeng Building, also learned about Wei Yi's second uncle.
Now I know what Du Yujiang did for Wei Yi.
"It's over, Du Yujiang really took the lead this time." Qiu Xuanji said with a sullen face, somewhat unwillingly.
He knew very well that Du Yujiang helped Wei Yi save his second uncle's life.
With this favor, I am afraid that Wei Yi will choose to cooperate with Wan Jiange no matter what.
However, Qiu Xuanji also knew that if it were him, he wouldn't be able to help much.
He had just arrived in Qingzhou City for less than a year, and his connections here were indeed far inferior to those of Du Yujiang.
At least I know the prefect and can talk to him.
But if you want to ask others for help, you probably aren't qualified enough.
This time I really missed a move, and there was nothing I could do about it.
"This Du Yujiang is really lucky!" Qiu Xuanji was a little depressed.
Du Yujiang had already been given some relief.
Next, get ready to see his jokes.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yi suddenly appeared and gave Du Yujiang a big mouthful of milk.
Most of his plans failed in one fell swoop.
But if he can't get Wei Yi, then he can't sit still and wait for death.
After finally suppressing Wanjiange, they must not be given a chance to breathe.
...
The tea room on the second floor of Wanjiang Pavilion.
Du Yujiang looked at the calligraphy in his hand and said to himself: "Wei Yi's calligraphy is really beautiful. I didn't expect that a blacksmith's hand could write such beautiful calligraphy!" Wei Yi had already decided to go with him
. Wanjiange cooperates. Du Yujiang also discussed the cooperation model with Wei Yi.
He originally wanted Wei Yi to become the internal swordsmith of Wanjiange.
That means signing a contract and becoming a member of Wanjiange.
It's like becoming an inner disciple of a sect.
At the same time, you may also have the opportunity to become the shopkeeper of Wanjiange or other important management positions in the future, and enjoy profit sharing from the entire store.
But Wei Yi still hopes to cooperate on a free-person basis first.
Du Yujiang also gave Wei Yi the highest share model, 28%.
He also promised to pay Wei Yi two hundred taels of silver as a deposit in advance.
He didn't want to give Jianfeng Tower any chance to seduce Wei Yi, so he showed his utmost sincerity.
You know, swordsmiths who work in a cooperative model in the industry only get a 30-70 split at most.
Only the internal swordsmiths who actually signed the contract will enjoy a 28% share.
The 28/20 split model is definitely the highest ratio in the industry.
The cooperation model was determined.
Next, they will make a swordsmith identity banner for Wei Yi and hang it in the store.
So he asked Wei Yi to provide a word as the name of the swordsmith.
So Wei Yi wrote the character "Wei" for him.
I hope he can make the pennant according to his own font.
"Shopkeeper, you're looking for me!" Wang Shouyin walked in from the door and bowed.
"Wang Shouyin, this is the name of our new ninth-grade swordsmith. You should immediately make a Wei-character banner and hang it in the shop!"
Du Yujiang handed the paper in his hand to Wang Shouyin.
There was a big word "WEI" written on the paper.
"Wei-character banner?" Wang Shouyin was a little surprised.
"Yes, just make it according to this font, and make it according to the highest standards." Du Yujiang said seriously.
"Shopkeeper, this newly promoted ninth-grade swordsmith's surname is Wei?" Wang Shouyin asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's Wei Tieshan's nephew, Wei Yi!"
"Huh?" Wang Shouyin's eyes widened and he looked at Du Yujiang in surprise.
"Wei Tieshan's nephew, Wei Yi, that scholar?" Wang Shouyin couldn't believe it.
"Yes, that's him. Look at how well the characters are written. I didn't expect that a scholar can also forge iron. I was just as surprised as you at the beginning." Du Yujiang said with a smile.
Hearing Du Yujiang's words, Wang Shouyin's heart was overturned and he was extremely surprised.
He never expected that the newly promoted ninth-grade swordsmith this time would be Wei Yi.
He originally thought that Wei Yi had made an ordinary sword with the help of other blacksmiths.
It would already be good to return the sword Wei Tieshan owed them.
Now he has transformed into a ninth-grade swordsmith who has achieved the first grade.
He was so valued and appreciated by Du Yujiang.
From now on, his identity and status in Wanjiange will probably be second only to Du Yujiang.
"It's over, it's over, the one hundred and seventy swords we have left are probably going to be completely ruined!" Wang Shooyin felt bitter in his heart.
Given his status, the little money he owed them could not be easily repaid.
I originally thought about making some extra money, but now my dream is completely shattered.
"Fortunately, I didn't say anything too extreme that day, otherwise how would I be able to face Wei Yi in the future." Wang Shooyin muttered in his heart.
"What are you still doing? Hurry up and make the banner. You must hang it up for me early tomorrow morning." Du Yujiang said seriously.
"Oh, okay, I'll do it now!"
"Wait a minute, go to the accounting office later to get two hundred taels of silver and send it to Wei Yi as a deposit. His family has had so many things happen recently, so he probably needs to buy raw materials. We don’t have enough money anymore, so I’ll use this money for emergency cash flow!” Du Yujiang said.
"Okay, shopkeeper!" Wang Shouyin responded quickly and immediately withdrew.
