Mianzhou County Government is located on the central axis of Mianzhou County.

A pair of male and female lions squat on the Xumizuo to the left and right of the ceremony gate. They have embroidered belts on their necks, bells hanging from them, and nine conch buns on their heads. There are mottled blood stains on their sharp claws, and they open their teeth and claws to make a neighing sound.

There are four dark red characters intertwined with light strips on the base, "Don't get close without injustice."

Passing through Yimen is the main hall of the county government.

The lobby with a platform towers majestically at the front, and the side rooms are brightly lit, with faint conversations and laughter coming out.

"I'm afraid Boss Gu hasn't been to Mianzhou for many years, right?"

The speaker is wearing an indigo scholar's shirt and a square scarf on his head. He has an upright face and an elegant temperament.

"What Xu County Magistrate said," Gu Yong recalled with a look on his face, "I came to Mianzhou once when I followed Master Gu Xi on a study tour. At that time, I discussed Confucian classics with the county magistrate. This has been several years ago. , Mianzhou has changed too much.”

Xu Yue smiled and said: "Under the governance of the county magistrate, Mianzhou has developed rapidly over the years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If Boss Gu is interested, he can invest in building a branch here. The people of Mianzhou have been looking forward to the Shu Road Logistics will lead them to wealth."

"It is a great honor for Shudao Logistics to be so gracious by Prime Minister Xu County. Once the business is completed, I will send someone over to select a site to start construction."

"Then on behalf of the people of Mianzhou, I would like to thank Boss Gu!"

Xu Yue smiled happily, picked up the tea cup on the table, turned his head to look at a young man sitting in the seat below him, and suggested: "Master Yang, why don't you come with me and have a cup of tea instead of wine to pay homage to the boss?"

The young man known as Master Yang looked aggrieved. He clenched his hands and pressed them on his knees motionless, turning a deaf ear to Xu Yue's words.

A sharp look flashed across Xu Yue's eyes. He put down the tea cup and sighed: "Master Yang, I know you are unwilling. But now you are also aware of Yang's situation. That treasure is left in Qin Yang. Family is a curse rather than a blessing.”

The young scholar gritted his teeth and spoke in a sad voice: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I, the Yang family, will bear it myself. The legacy of our ancestors cannot be given away to others!"

"If the Yang family can really handle it, why are you, Yang Shuo, sitting here today?!"

Xu Yue's tone was calm, but his words were like a sharp knife, cutting cleanly the last trace of dignity in the young scholar.

"The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. Yang Shuo, you are also a scholar, so you should understand this. The county magistrate also saw that you have worked hard over the years, so he asked me to come out and preside over the situation for you, Yang."

"If you continue to misinterpret the Lord's love and care, then the Chief Magistrate of this county can just let it go and leave it alone. How about that?"

Yang Shuo's face turned pale, and the panic in his pupils was clearly visible to the other two.

"Mr. Xu, please don't get angry. Master Yang is just young and energetic. He just can't figure it out for a moment. How can he misinterpret the good intentions of the county magistrate and you, right Master Yang?"

Gu Yong laughed and smoothed things over.

Yang Shuo bit his lip, trembling all over, but sadly found that he didn't dare to say 'no' to the two people next to him.

Xu Yue snorted displeasedly and took a cup of tea by himself.

"Master Yang, actually selling that treasure will be a good thing for you Yang family."

"A good thing?" Yang Shuo said in a mocking tone.

Gu Yong looked sincere, "Of course it's a good thing. To put it bluntly, the decline of the Yang family is an indisputable fact now. If the children of the family want to study and become Confucian, it will cost a lot of money."

"Nowadays, the lowest-grade Six-Arts chip costs 600,000 Baobao coins, and the Six-Arts chip that can support promotion to the Eighth Confucianism is as high as one or two million."

Yang Shuo's face turned red and he opened his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Gu Yong.

"I know what you want to say, Mr. Yang, but even if in the future there are children in the Yang family who can inherit the talents of their ancestors and advance to Confucianism and Taoism with their own abilities. But the officialdom is up and down, and there is no money to sail, I am afraid that they will not be able to travel thousands of miles to Jiangling. Will you pay it back later?"

The light in Yang Shuo's eyes dimmed, and he slumped and closed his twitching lips.

What the other party said are the facts in the Ming Dynasty today.

"This time, our Shudao Logistics Group also comes with sincerity. As long as you can sell the number one scholar's legacy to us, you will get two million in treasure money plus two top-grade Six Arts chips."

Gu Yong smiled sincerely, "This sincerity should be able to support the Yang family's continued development for two generations. If a reading seed emerges during this period, the Yang family may not be able to regain its former glory."

The resentment condensed in Yang Shuo's brows dissipated slightly, and he seemed to be a little moved by the price offered by Gu Yong.

But at this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door.

"Is this considered sincerity? Gu Yong, can you please not hold on to your business interests? I feel embarrassed."

A middle-aged man strode in with a thin figure, making the valuable brocade robe on his body look a little empty.

The man, Da Ma Jin Dao, sat across from Gu Yong. He glanced meaningfully at Xu Yue, who was leisurely drinking tea, and then turned to Gu Yong with disdain on his face.

"The price you offered only adds up to three to four million. You just want to buy someone else's number one prize. You must be too dark."

The smile on Gu Yong's face faded, his body leaned back, his eyes lowered and looked ahead, and his whole body exuded a choking smell of gunpowder smoke.

"Wu Jinfeng, what price can Tianfu Heavy Industry offer?"

The late arrival at the helm of Tianfu Heavy Industry ignored Gu Yong and smiled at Yang Shuo: "Master Yang, no matter how much Shu Dao Logistics flows out, I, Tianfu Heavy Industry, will add one million."

Gu Yong's face showed undisguised murderous intent, "Are you making an offer or looking for trouble?"

"You can think whatever you want. Anyway, the legacy of today's No. 1 Scholar can only be taken away by Tianfu Heavy Industry!"

"What a loud tone, Wu Laogou, who do you think you are?"

Wu Jinfeng laughed strangely, like an old dog howling at night, and his body suddenly leaned forward, like a fierce and cruel hyena about to pounce forward.

"Would you like to fight soldier against soldier, king against king, right here? I'll give you one hand!"

This mad dog!

Gu Yong's face turned pale and his body suddenly tensed up.

"Boss Wu, this is the Mianzhou County Government, a place where people solve their problems. I'm afraid it won't look good if you and Boss Gu are doing it here, right?"

Xu Yue, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Oh? I thought who was drinking tea here, but it turned out to be the county magistrate Xu. Since you are the county magistrate, you have spoken, so of course you have to give me face."

Wu Jinfeng looked at Gu Yong with a sinister look on his face, "Boss Gu, you'd better not leave here today, otherwise it will be dark and the roads will be dark. I'm afraid someone will rob the rich and give to the poor."

Being threatened by someone pointing at your nose is simply a shame and humiliation.

Gu Yong's face was extremely ugly. He no longer cared about Confucian politeness and couldn't help but curse: "I said..."

"Both of you!"

Xu Yue slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, "You are all prominent figures in Chengdu House. If the commotion is too ugly, the reputation of your master's family will be damaged if word spreads."

Although in the eyes of Gu and Wu, the county magistrate was only an eighth-grade official, this was Mianzhou territory after all, and they still had to save some face for the other party.

Xu Yue stood up, rolled up his sleeves and hid his robe behind him, and glanced between Gu Yong and Wu Jinfeng.

"Originally, in business, the highest bidder wins, but the county magistrate also knows the importance of the number one scholar's legacy to the two of them. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, your lord has ordered Master Yang to place the things in the Yang family's house. , you can solve the attribution problem yourself.

Xu Yue said carefully, "But there are two points that the two bosses need to keep in mind."

"First, no matter which family the number one scholar's legacy belongs to, Yang must be given eight million in treasure. No matter it is money or goods, no penny should be less! Otherwise, the county magistrate will not be able to communicate with his colleagues at the top and bottom of the Mianzhou County Government. Let them explain."

"Second, no heavy firearms are allowed in Mianzhou City tonight, and no casualties are allowed on ordinary people. This is the bottom line!"

Xu Yue turned his back to the two of them, "Mianzhou has a curfew in Xuzhou. You two need to do your best!"

This was what Gu Yong and Wu Jinfeng were waiting for when they went to the Mianzhou County Government Office today. They laid down the rules so that they could get started.

As for the eight million price offered by Xu Yue, they had no objection at all.

The two stood up and left the Mianzhou County Government Office one after the other.

After a while, only Yang Shuo and Xu Yue were left in the wing.

The county magistrate, who had been so magnanimous just now, was now filled with lingering fear, and looked at the chief clerk with the same look in his eyes.

"Thank you, Lord County Magistrate."

Xu Yue shook his head, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank the county magistrate."

"This time it's his old man who negotiates the price for you under the pressure of two families. Just don't ignore the adults' hard work."

Yang Shuo cupped his fists and bowed, "When the dust settles, Yang Shuo will definitely hand over the 20% thank you with both hands!"

At the same time, a black cross-country car was parked on the street, and Gu Jiamo, who was wearing military uniform, ordered:

"Come in at Xu time and talk business!"
