Winning Him Over

Upon learning that the Jiang Family had transferred some of their businesses to Youshan Prefecture, and that more than half of them were in Qinghe Town!

Qin Yan was also quite surprised, not expecting that after he rejected the other party, they would even transfer their business to his territory.

"My lord, Li Yunsheng, the head manager of the Jiang Family, requests an audience!"

Qin Xiaoyi came to report.

"Let him in."

Qin Yan nodded slightly.

In no time, Qin Xiaoyi led a refined-looking middle-aged man to Qin Yan!

"This humble servant, Li Yunsheng, greets Your Excellency."

Get up!

Qin Yan smiled faintly and said, "I wonder what brings your Jiang Family here?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, on behalf of the Jiang Family, I am presenting you with the land deed for that piece of land in Fuyun County free of charge."

As for that request back then, it was due to the head of the family's lack of consideration, fearing that the Marquis might misunderstand.

That's why I sent someone to explain to you.

Li Yunsheng explained cautiously.

"So that's what it was about." Qin Yan smiled and shook his head, "Go tell Patriarch Jiang Family that I am only temporarily uninterested in matters of children and focused on pursuing the pinnacle of Martial Dao."

If there has been any offense, please forgive me, Patriarch Jiang Family.

"No, no!"

Li Yunsheng his hand repeatedly. Although the Jiang Family was a top business Lineage, in this world, strength ultimately mattered.

Despite his immense wealth, he lacks a powerful and influential backer.

Ultimately, it's just another dish in someone else's eyes.

The man before them, though young, was already a marquis, and in Martial Dao, he was invincible below the Supreme Grandmaster.

By all accounts, this is not something the Jiang Family can afford to offend.

"Actually, the Jiang Family came here this time to cooperate with the Marquis. The Jiang Family is very optimistic about the various products that sell well in Qinghe Town."

We are willing to provide the Marquis with channels to sell these goods throughout the Great Li Dynasty, and even to neighboring countries.

"Oh!"

Qin Yan became interested; it seemed the Jiang Family had come to deliver money!

When he proposed the marriage to the Jiang Family, he began investigating them and obtained some information.

The Jiang Family's long-standing backer has fallen, and he may well be one of the backers the other side was looking for.

"State your terms!"

Qin Yan leaned back in his chair and spoke softly.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, no price is required."

Li Yunsheng said earnestly.

"I wonder if the shopkeeper has ever heard of a saying?"

Qin Yan looked at the other person with a half-smile.

"Please enlighten me, Your Excellency!"

"Often, things that are free are the most expensive."

Li Yunsheng was quite surprised to hear this; he hadn't expected that this young marquis would have such insights!

However, he quickly replied, "The Jiang Family has no intention of plotting against you, sir. We simply want to make friends with you."

For business people, the most important thing is to make money through harmony and to make friends from all walks of life.

The Jiang Family hopes to become the Marquis's friend!

Qin Yan nodded slightly. Youshan Prefecture was his territory, so naturally he welcomed merchants from all over to do business here!

"I am grateful that the Jiang Family is willing to give me that piece of land in Fuyun County, and I will naturally keep my promise."

As for business cooperation, we'll handle it as it comes. I won't take advantage of the Jiang Family!

Overall, Qin Yan actually came out ahead!

With the Yong'an Commerce Association's channels, goods from Qinghe Town can be sold throughout the entire Great Li Dynasty!

To gain the upper hand as quickly as possible.

It's worth it to do someone a favor.

Moreover, Qin Yan will need the Yong'an Commerce Association's help in buying and selling various metal products later!

Li Yunsheng has left!

Qin Yan leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. His empire was now expanding rapidly.

All it takes is one capable person to manage it.

This is the management talent he needs most right now; otherwise, he would have to do everything himself.

If there are any more things to do, he really won't be able to handle it all.

"No, we need to find someone to help us."

Qin Yan couldn't help but think of Song Huan of the Imperial City Bureau, who was the commander of Youshan Prefecture.

This person is someone I've known for a long time.

Perhaps we can use his connections to attract some talented people to come over.

Where are the most talented people?

It's naturally the Imperial City Bureau's prison; finding some convicted merchants there is incredibly easy!

Thinking of this, Qin Yan immediately took action and invited Song Huan over for a chat!

Qin Yan's current status is naturally vastly different from what it used to be.

Song Huan dared not refuse.

Even Song Huan couldn't believe that a young man could become a marquis in just two years.

We've arrived at the Marquis's residence!

Looking at that spirited young man.

Song Huan felt a pang of sadness in his heart; indeed, people's fates are different.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Brother Song, you're too kind!"

Qin Yan smiled faintly, then took the other person's hand and led them to sit down. "It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Song. Today is a good opportunity to catch up."

Song Huan nodded with a smile!

The two exchanged toasts and drinks, and after a few rounds, the conversation continued.

Qin Yan expressed his troubles.

Song Huan listened carefully and then understood why Qin Yan had come in person.

For the sake of some merchants, he could easily find out about such a trivial matter by simply going back and investigating.

"My lord, I will give you an answer to this trivial matter within three days, and I will certainly handle it perfectly."

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Song!"

Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

Song Huan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Qin Yan's identity was extraordinary.

The other party just wants to make money; that's a minor issue.

Whoever becomes emperor will fear Qin Yan's powerful vassal states; if they were to cause trouble, it would be a major incident.

His biggest task at present in Youshan Prefecture is to monitor Qin Yan.

To be honest, he didn't want his relationship with Qin Yan to become too strained; this guy's fearsome reputation came from fighting on the battlefield.

Killing Grandmaster is as easy as killing a chicken or a dog.

Not to mention him, a mere Innate Martial Artist!

Seeing that Song Huan was so accommodating.

Qin Yan naturally wouldn't hesitate and immediately took out a box.

This is a small token of my appreciation.

Song Huan's heart stirred slightly. He opened the box and a fragrant aroma of medicine immediately wafted out.

"That is...!"

"The One Qi Pill can greatly enhance the cultivation level of Innate Martial Artist after consumption!"

Brother Song has been at the initial stage of the Xiantian Realm for quite some time now, so I believe this pill will be of great help to you."

Qin Yan explained with a smile.

This is a type of elixir he refined from the alchemy inheritance of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing this, Song Huan's heart pounded wildly.

He's been stuck at the initial stage of the Xiantian Realm for far too long, because his life is already over.

I never expected Qin Yan to possess such precious pills.

In principle, he shouldn't have accepted this.

Unfortunately, he offered something I simply couldn't refuse.

"Then I thank you, Your Excellency."

Song Huan carefully tucked the pill into his robes and looked at Qin Yan with immense gratitude.

"We're all brothers, why be so polite?"

The banquet was a joyous occasion for both host and guests.

Song Huan couldn't wait to go back, not only to help Qin Yan, but more importantly, to refine the elixir.

They watched the other person leave.

Qin Yan smiled faintly. It would be incredibly difficult for Song Huan to advance further in his life.

Bringing him into our own social camp wouldn't be bad either.

He would bring the Imperial City Bureau of Youshan Prefecture under his command to prevent those guys in the Capital from keeping an eye on him.

He worked himself to the bone to make money.

Those old fogies in Capital would probably be more at ease with me.
