The next morning, when Yin Peinan and Zuo An entered the city, they saw Lin Youcai waiting beside a carriage.

Lin Youcai came over when he saw the two of them, and bowed his hands: "Boss Yin, husband Yin."

"Butler Lin is early." Yin Peinan said hello, then looked at Zuo An, and said, "The husband, please go first. Go to the shop, I'll be there later."

Zuo An nodded and said, "I'll go first."

After Zuo An left, Yin Peinan followed Lin Youcai into the carriage and went to the Lin Mansion.

Butler Lin took Yin Peinan directly to the main hall of the main courtyard.

The Lin Mansion is also very large. Compared with the Zheng Mansion, the Lin Mansion looks a little more elegant.

Yin Peinan looked around at random, the yard was quite elegant. There are also some paintings and calligraphy hanging in the living room, and a yard is specially set up for the two young masters to study, and green bamboo and orchids are planted in the yard.

"Boss Yin, wait a moment, have a tea break first, and I'll go and invite my master right away." Butler Lin served Yin Peinan tea in person, and then went to invite someone.

"Butler Lin is free."

Butler Lin went out, Yin Peinan glanced at the teacup, didn't touch it, and looked around at will.

After a while, Mr. Lin came over, and as soon as his foot entered the threshold, the voice came over.

"Boss Yin, it's been a long time. I've just had something to do, so I'm sorry for being snubbed."

Yin Peinan stood up and said hello, "Master Lin is serious."

"Sit down, please take a seat." Come on, let's take a sip of tea.

Yin Peinan sat down without bothering to greet him, and asked directly, "I wonder what Mr. Lin is looking for today?" Mr.

Lin put down the teacup, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "Of course it's a good thing."

"Oh . What's the good thing?" Yin Peinan asked with raised eyebrows.

Master Lin smiled and said, "Lin wants to discuss business with Boss Yin."

"I don't know what business Master Lin said?"

"Naturally it is the rice grain business."

Yin Peinan immediately understood that this was what Master Lin was talking about. To dig a wall. Calling yourself over behind Zheng Wenhao's back, didn't you want to dig Zheng Wenhao's footsteps?

He smiled a little, thinking about the countermeasures and said casually: "Master Lin is joking, everyone in the city knows that I am running a rice grain shop with Zheng Wenhao now."

Master Lin waved his hand and said, "Hey, Yin What the boss said is bad. We are in business, and we make profits. Naturally, we will go wherever we can make money, right? You and Zheng Wenhao are open, and I am open. "

Yin Peinan suddenly moved forward a little: "What do you mean by Mr. Lin?"

Mr. Lin took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, looked at Yin Peinan and said earnestly: "Boss Yin, you just started a business, maybe It's not very clear, let me tell you, in this Xinping County, when it comes to the rice grain business, Zheng Wenhao, no, the Zheng family, but I am not familiar with the Lin family. I can say that in this city, at least Eighty percent of the rice and grain business is owned by my Lin family. Do you know?"

"I know a little." Yin Peinan nodded, then in a moment of panic, he got up quickly and said, "Master Lin, don't you think... ...I am a small shop, I run a small business, I can only support my family, but I can't get in your eyes."

Seeing his expression, Mr. Lin waved his hand and continued: "Hey, Boss Yin is joking, that's not what I meant."

"Then who are you?"

"I know you have new seeds for your rice, soybeans, and cotton. I heard that you are making new varieties by yourself. I just want to talk to you. In the future, your new varieties, not only from your family, but also from your village, will be purchased by me at twice the price, what do you think?"

Yin Peinan said. Zhang De didn't have time to close it for a while, and he said, "Master Lin, this, I really can't promise you this, I'm afraid I'll let you down."

"Why? You can sell twice the price, but not No more."

Yin Peinan shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin, thank you for looking down on Yin so much, but

I can't take the place of the villagers' paddy. And mine, these are all grain seeds, we don't want to sell them. Rice."

"The Lin family is also going to sell grain seeds, so Boss Yin doesn't have to worry about it."

Yin Peinan was embarrassed: "This, Mr. Lin, I have signed a contract with Zheng Wenhao, and I have filed a case with the government. If I sell it For you, that means breaking the contract, I can't afford to pay so much money."

Master Lin smiled and said: "This is not a problem, if Boss Yin is in trouble, Lin is willing to help you out."

Yin Peinan: "This is not good. Let Mr. Lin come out."

Mr. Lin saw that he didn't mean it, and changed his tricks: "Boss Yin, it's better. You quit the shop with Zheng Wenhao and cooperate with me, how about it? Lin promises that we can do it. Open a bigger shop, not only selling grain seeds, but when the summer harvest is over, we can also collect the grain to do business together. Moreover, my Lin family's rice grain is not only in this county, but also in many other places, and the roads can also be used. ,right?"

Yin Peinan: "..." I just declined, why can't Master Lin understand? ! Still don't understand. Originally, I wanted not to offend the Lin family for rejecting the matter, but it was not so easy.

He simply said: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your kindness. However, please forgive Yin for his blunt words. Although Yin has little reading, he still needs to be honest in doing business. Since Zheng Wenhao and I have already opened this rice and grain shop, we will stop it. I can no longer open the same shop as others in this city. I can only thank Mr. Lin for his kindness." When

Mr. Lin heard this, his smile suddenly dropped, and he looked at Yin Peinan and said meaningfully, "Boss Yin, this county says No matter how big or small, it's not that easy to do business."

Is this a threat?

Yin Peinan got up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, Mr. Yin is only a rural farmer who only knows how to grow fields. This business is definitely not something that Mr. Lin is good at. It's a small business, and he can't bear Mr. Lin's love. Yin has something to do. I'll say goodbye first."

After speaking, Yin Peinan turned around and left.

Master Lin looked at Yin Peinan's back and clenched his fists.

Lin Youcai walked up, stood aside and said, "Master, this person is so ignorant, what should we do next?" The

old man snorted coldly and said, "You send people to the various villages below to settle the surplus food in advance. Come down. They sell grain seeds, so we sell rice. The grain seeds don't make a lot of money, and the rice is the big one."

"Then sir, what if they also sell rice?"

"So didn't I tell you to do it? Buy all the surplus grain first, what will they sell it for?"

"Oh, my lord is brilliant." In the

Changlong grain store, Zheng Wenhao looked at Zuo An alone, and asked curiously, "Brother, Anan didn't come today. ?"

"He came and was called away."

"Ah? Who was called away?"

Zuo An didn't hide it from him, saying, "The Lin family."

"The Lin family? The Lin Yingda family?" Zheng Wenhao was taken aback.

"Yes, his father."

Zheng Wenhao asked suspiciously: "What is he doing with Anan?"

Zuo An: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the shop?"

Zheng Wenhao thought about it for a while, and had a bad premonition. Yin Peinan had nothing to do with the Lin family, the biggest possibility was this rice and grain shop.

He said, "Brother-in-law, how long has he been gone?"

"He was picked up by the Lin family's housekeeper when we entered the city. It's been half an hour, and he should be back soon."

Zheng Wenhao went to the door and was at the counter. Before walking around, some anxiety.

After a while, he finally saw Yin Peinan coming back, he quickly pulled him into the lounge, and asked, "Why is old man Lin looking for you?"

Zuo An also looked at Yin Peinan.

"Let me drink some water first. I came back from the Lin Mansion and died of thirst." Yin Peinan drank two glasses of water.

Zheng Wenhao was shocked: "Old man Lin is so stingy? Don't you give me any tea?"

Yin Peinan waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to drink it

."

Zheng Wenhao asked with a puzzled face: "What is there to dare to drink?"

Yin Peinan replied seriously: "What if he drugged me and beat me up?"

Zheng Wenhao: "...That's not enough."

"Who knows, it's so easy to kill one or two people without knowing it." , threw it into the well, but no one knew about it for a few years.

Zheng Wenhao: "...Tell me why he is looking for you."

Yin Peinan sat next to his daughter-in-law and said, "He wants me to kick you and open a rice and grain shop with him."

Zheng Wenhao Stamping his feet, he said fiercely: "I knew it! This old man Lin is very bad, you didn't agree?"

Yin Peinan said with a smile: "Of course, what kind of friendship do I have with you, how can I take advantage of him?"

"Okay. Brother!" Zheng Wenhao happily stepped forward and patted Yin Peinan on the shoulder, and said to him, "He must be in a hurry. Knowing that our grain seeds are good, he is afraid that we will grow bigger, so he wants to bring you in."

"Well, count him . You have a good eye." Yin Peinan thought about the previous conversation, and then said, "But I listened to what he said. Even if I didn't agree, he probably wanted to do something bad and threatened me."

Zuo An asked: " What did he say?"

Yin Peinan repeated the conversation between the two to them.

Zuo An calmly said: "He must also have the idea of ​​harvesting rice in summer."

Zheng Wenhao continued: "His family has many fields and many rice shops. Most of the villages used to sell rice directly to them."

Yin Peinan: "Then let's analyze it carefully. I just thought about it all the way. One of their advantages is that there are many rice shops and they have a wide market; second, the villagers are familiar with them, and most of them sell their rice to them. This is actually because their shops have more stock. Ability is related. But we also have advantages." The

two looked at him.

He continued: "We are the biggest. If you want to buy our new grain, you must sell the surplus grain to us, not to other shops."

Zheng Wenhao blinked: "A Nan, are you threatening them?"

Yin Peinan spread his hands: "No way, we were planning to do part of the rice business during the summer harvest, and now the Lin family comes to intervene, we only have this method that is the most effective. Moreover, this is not a threat, it is called lure, you Are you right?"

Zheng Wenhao laughed: "Yes, lure!"

Zuo An said worriedly, "But you don't know if people buy grain seeds and then sell them. Besides, we don't have such a big warehouse. There is also silver. It is impossible to monopolize the improved rice, and the Lin family will definitely get a share of the pie. Moreover, his shop has more sales, so we can't compete with him in terms of rice."

Zheng Wenhao waved his hand and said, "Yinzi and The warehouse is not a problem, there is no store, the Zheng family has it!"

Zuo An shook his head: "This rice is definitely more expensive than the previous rice, there may not be so many people in the county who can buy it every day, and our store can't sell that much. More. Besides, the rice can't help but grow, and it is easy to grow bugs. If it is collected and not sold within a month, it will grow rice bugs."

Yin Peinan thought about it and said, "Then let's not fight with him for rice, let's master How about selling grain seeds, mainly to other counties?"

Zuo An nodded and said, "This is fine. But we also have to grab the rice from the villagers with the Lin family. Whether we sell grain seeds or rice, this is the follow-up. Question, our main problem is only one, how can we get the villagers to sell the rice to us before the Lin family? Pei Nan said before that using grain seeds to lure us, this is a way, but it is not completely guaranteed, we have to think about it more thoroughly Order ."

Zheng Wenhao asked: "The method we used to exchange old food for new food can still be used, right?"

Zuo An replied: "Yes, but the cost is too high. Now our whole county is planting new varieties of rice, and the old grains in the past could only be collected in other counties. The cost of transportation back and forth, manpower The cost is too big to pay." The

three of them racked their brains to think, but they didn't come up with it.

Two days later, the county

magistrate brought them two more news, one good news and one bad news.
