Chapter 330

King Anyang looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a smile, thinking that Lin Xiaoyue would definitely respond, but saw her complex expression.

"This...because only the chain stores in Nan'an County are currently planned, there are only 28 franchise places for the time being."

One shot is 10,000 taels, and the prince deserves to be the prince.

The expressions of King Anyang and Liang Yu changed at the same time.

On the way here, Shopkeeper Liang had already told them the situation.

But they thought that there are ten counties in Nan'an County, and each county can open a lot of chain stores.

When they came to send money, Lin Xiaoyue would refuse without reason.

Unexpectedly, she actually refused.

"Nan'an County is a big place. In addition to Nan'an County, other counties are also very prosperous. For the remaining 22 stores, this king can join and go to other counties." Anyang Wang said.

Liang Yu also looked at Lin Xiaoyue nervously.

Lin Xiaoyue was embarrassed.

"This……"

"Why, Lin Dong's family didn't plan to open chain stores in other counties?" King Anyang's brows furrowed, and his tone increased.

"Naturally not." Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly saluted King Anyang.

"It's just that there are no plans to recruit too many franchisees."

"Minwomen are still quite confident in 'getting up fast', so they are limited by the cost in hand, so they release a part of franchise stores to accelerate brand building."

"But when the brand effect comes out, more franchise stores will be opened or—" Lin Xiaoyue glanced at King Anyang carefully.

"In other words, it is not worthwhile to continue to open franchise stores at low prices."

"After all, the profits of directly-operated stores can be much higher than that of franchise stores. With sufficient capital, I will slowly open stores and expand, and I may make more money."

King Anyang understood, and his face sank.

So, do you mean you want to increase the price?

"Cough, just open the dozens of franchise stores in Nan'an County. How can they support the Chiwu Army? At least two more counties must be opened!"

As soon as Lin Xiaoyue looked at King Anyang, he heard King Anyang continue: "That's it. The remaining franchise stores in Nan'an County are reserved by this king. The quotas for the other two counties are divided between Benwang and Liang's firm."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was about to speak, King Anyang said again: "I'll give you 20,000 taels first. For the rest, wait for the specific number of franchise stores to be determined, and then make up."

Lin Xiaoyue:——

With an uncomfortable expression, he bowed to King Anyang.

"Yes." It looked like he was having a hard time accepting it.

Seeing that King Anyang was in a happy mood.

Liang Yu, who was beside him, was also in a good mood at the moment.

He didn't think that Lin Xiaoyue really made her feel so uncomfortable, but seeing her like this made her feel happy.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaoyue signed contracts with King Anyang and Liang Yu respectively.

The deed is signed, and things are almost done.

Liang Yu only said that things would be done within three days, and the bank notes and land deeds were delivered, and then she left with the shopkeeper Liang and the king of Anyang.

When he was leaving, King Anyang also asked two guards to follow Lin Xiaoyue to the kitchen and took a lot of braised pork, bacon and sausages.

The couple stood on the side of the road to send off the carriage, looked at each other, and both laughed.

"I've opened my eyes today, my wife is eloquent, I admire her husband!" Li Xiao clasped his fists and said to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao, "That's it!"

After speaking, Aojiao turned her head and walked towards the courtyard door.

Li Xiao smiled and quickly followed.

But she didn't know that the smile on Lin Xiaoyue's face had disappeared at this time, and she still sighed deeply in her heart.

Are you eloquent?

Naturally great.

He succeeded in getting the King of Anyang to agree to pay for the rescue of the Chiwu Army, return living materials, nine villagers and 20,000 taels of military expenses.

In addition, there was a joining fee of 20,000 taels of silver.

The sum of all these money is worth more than 200,000 taels of silver. Even for Liang's firm, it is not a small number.

But these are really just enough for them.

She complained to King Anyang that she was under pressure to raise 6,000 people, but it was not fake.

This time I asked Anyang King for so many things, and it would be difficult to ask him to ask him later.

Next, it's really up to them.

In addition, if the border is delayed for another day, the situation of the Chiwu Army will be a little more dangerous.

When King Anyang has settled the matter, they will have to rush to the border.

Yes, she wants to go with Li Xiao.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao went to Qingshi Town.

Entering the city from the West Gate, the carriage crossed two streets before reaching the destination.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and helped Lin Xiaoyue down from the carriage.

Lin Xiaoyue saw that in front of him was a rather grand mansion, with the words "Liu Mansion" written on the plaque.

She recognized the trace, Li Xiao's.

I was a little moved in my heart when three people came out of the door.

The middle-aged man at the head was dressed as a housekeeper, and the other two were dressed as servants.

"The old slave has seen the young lady, uncle!" The middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.

Seeing Li Xiaochong nodding to himself, he looked at the middle-aged man.

"Fang steward doesn't need to be polite, let's go in and talk." He said.

Yes, Fang is in charge.

True identity, Chief of the Chiwu Army. He has been in charge of the Nangong family property before.

After getting in touch with Li Xiao, Manager Fang went to Qingshi Town.

After that, he stayed in this house in Qingshi Town and followed Li Xiao's arrangement.

"Miss Xie! Miss, uncle, please!" Manager Fang made a "please" gesture.

The two entered the Liu Mansion.

After entering the door, Director Fang motioned the two servants to stare at the door, and followed Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue to the study.

After Lin Xiaoyue entered the door, she was observing the house.

It was found that the house was very large and there were many people.

Yes, many people.

And they also kill each other, it looks very difficult to mess with.

Manager Fang followed behind the two of them and deliberately observed Lin Xiaoyue's reaction.

Finding that she didn't show any fear, she recognized the mistress a little more in her heart.

The general king is dead, and the young master is now their new master.

The young master became a relative, and the young master's wife was their new mistress.

When he first arrived in Qingshi Town, when he learned the identity of the mistress, he also held injustice against the mistress and felt that the mistress was not worthy of the mistress.

But later, knowing what happened to the mistress, and seeing the mistress's mind and methods, he only felt that the master's vision was really good.

These people have been looking forward to seeing the mistress for a long time, and today can be regarded as looking forward to the mistress.

When we got to the study, the door was still guarded.

One of the handsome men saw Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue coming, and his face was filled with joy.

"I have seen the master, I have seen the mistress!" Then he brought the two people behind him forward, and knelt down on one knee to the couple.

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.

Seeing Li Xiao beside him, he nodded to himself.

"Get up." So he rushed to the man and waited for humanity.

"Thank you, Mistress!" The man said immediately, getting up.

"Mistress, my subordinates and others have come to expect you!" The man looked at Lin Xiaoyue, and the joy in his eyes could not be hidden at all.

However, Li Xiao frowned.

"cough--"

Following Li Xiao's light cough as a reminder, the man looked at Li Xiao, not only was he not afraid, but his expression turned into a sorrowful expression.

"Cousin-in-law, look at my cousin, as soon as you come here, you will give me a black face." Then, she even said to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.

Looking at Li Xiao.

Cousin?

Li Xiao rolled his eyes at the man, and nodded to Lin Xiaoyue again.

Then strode towards the study.

"Come in." Shen said.

With a smile on his face, the man quickly ran to Lin Xiaoyue's side.

"Hehe, cousin-in-law, I'm Henry Zhang! Cousin's only cousin!" Chong Lin Xiaoyue introduced.

"Oh, cousin, hello!" Lin Xiaoyue returned Henry Zhang with a smile.

What's going on? Li Xiao also has a cousin? I haven't heard him mention it before.

"Hehe, cousin-in-law, you are so beautiful! It's strange that cousin didn't bring you here for a long time, and he hid too tightly..." Henry Zhang said to Lin Xiaoyue in a pleasing manner.

When he said the second half of the sentence, he glared at Li Xiao's back.

Before, my aunt and cousin were worried that my cousin would not be able to find a daughter-in-law, but now, they have found someone who is so capable and so handsome...

Hey, I suddenly feel a little sour in my heart, what's going on?

"Uh, my cousin is rude." Lin Xiaoyue replied a little embarrassedly.

I found that the more I looked at Henry Zhang, the more I felt that he looked like an animal.
