In Maowan Village, Yang Anping, the village chief, was sitting in his main hall drinking tea.

But I feel a little absent-minded.

There were three men and a woman sitting on the left and right in the hall. The elderly were thirty-five and six years old, wearing light blue round-necked gowns and a squid head. This was the official uniform. At first glance, they were from the yamen. The other two men were one of thirty-one and two, and the other was twenty-eight, all wearing ordinary ties and square scarves. These three men were all Yang Anping's sons, and the other was in his early thirties, the wife of the eldest son Yang Changshan. She was plump and fashionable in dress, and at first glance she was born into a wealthy family.

"Dad, this matter is not too easy. Even if you only repair the dock, you will need to invest at least 100,000 yuan. Then Zhao Dalang is just a crazy fool. Yang Dayuan and the others are familiar with it. The family is poor and there is no tiles. How much money can Yang Dahu make? Ermazi and Ermao are even more unbearable. Just a group of gangsters on the dock. Don't be impulsive!" After drinking tea for a long time, the second son Yang Changhai said carefully.

"Dad, the second brother is right. What can a fool and a group of mud-legged men do? Although our family has some money, it has been earned with hard work. Once the water is wasted, more than ten people in the family can only drink the northwest wind!" The youngest son Chen Changxing also spoke.

"Father-in-law, just listen to the two uncles. This matter is too mysterious. You also said that the stupid man just wanted to bring us as a shield to suppress the people in Dawan Village. The risk is so great, why should we trek into this muddy water?" The woman sitting next to Chen Changshan also persuaded him.

"Changshan, I have been thinking about it for so long, what do you think?" Yang Anping looked at his eldest son.

Yang Changshan grinded with a bunch of beards and pondered for a moment, saying, "Dad, it's not impossible to do this, but the risk is indeed a bit big. I also asked the yamen's corps, and he agreed that if we repair the wharf, we can arrange some of the charcoal ships to load and unload. As long as it is done, we will definitely make money!"

"This is also the reason why I called you three back for discussion. Zhao Dalang was indeed crazy before, but since the appearance of the mountain god, the limelight has been very popular recently. Although I don't know where they got 20,000 guan, I am indeed optimistic about their plan. If we don't participate, they will succeed by then, and our status in the village will be threatened. The future position of the village may fall on Yang Dayuan!" Yang Anping said after a long silence.

"Dad, what's the point of thinking about a village? There's nothing but the food tax that can be reduced by two or three hundred guan every year..." the youngest son Chen Changxing muttered.

"Damn it, what's wrong with two or three hundred guan? You're eating and drinking at the wharf, and you only have a hundred guan a year. Your elder brother is in the yamen and earns only three or five hundred guan a year. Now you are all married and have a big business. You have to build a house and buy a carriage in separate families. No money is needed. If you don't take the lead, you don't know how expensive it is. Humph!" Yang Anping snorted coldly and paused the teacup on the tea table.

"Dad, since you want to participate, then spend less money and don't do it yourself. If you work with Yang Dayuan, you will tell them that we will only have dividends in the future and sign an agreement, which will be three years. If you don't make money in three years, they will return the money to us, along with the principal and the profit!" said the second son Yang Changhai.

"What if the dock makes a lot of money?" Yang Anping hummed with dissatisfaction.

"If we make money, we naturally ask to share the money according to the proportion, and we can even find ways to squeeze out Yang Dayuan and others and hold the wharf in our hands!"

"Dad, this is indeed a good way to have the least risk!" Yang Changshan thought for a moment and nodded.

"I'm afraid that it won't be as simple as you think. When I saw Zhao Dalang's conversation yesterday, I never thought that there would be such a huge change in just half a month. You didn't see those planning pictures, and you would be moved when you see them. Even someone who is so cautious can't help but want to get involved. How could they just cooperate with us? Today I heard that Zhao Dalang followed Liu Laoqi to the town. I'm afraid he had thought of this consequence long ago and wanted to win over Liu Pengcheng from the Kiln Factory. I also heard that some time ago, Zhao Dalang saved the second boy from Liu Chengpeng's family in the pharmacy in the town!"

"If the Liu family gets involved, this matter will be difficult to control in the future!" Yang Changshan nodded with a somewhat ugly expression.

Yang Changhai and Yang Changxing also had a little bad expression.

"So, we should get involved in this matter, or just don't get involved!"

"Dad, then don't get involved. The Liu family is also a big family in Yanggong Town. There will be a lot of trouble when they are arguing with them!" Yang Changhai said directly.

"Oh, I just can't bear to bear it. The picture looks so beautiful!" Yang Anping sighed and shook his head with a depressed look on his face.

All three sons looked at each other.

I don’t know what kind of picture it is, but it actually seduced my father, who is usually innocent and has no desires, so fascinated.

However, if they knew the beautiful PPT brochures of real estate companies in later generations that Zhao Qi had seen, the harbor villas facing the sea, and the commercial street planning maps that made money when they bought it for three generations and earned millions after buying it, they would probably impulsively sell it.

It is said that impulse is a devil.

But this devil is often because of an uncontrollable desire to make money in his heart.

"Father-in-law, Zhao Dalang and Mr. Liu from the town are here to visit!"

Just as the father and son were hesitating, a young woman in her twenties came in.

Say Cao Cao arrived.

The father and son put down the teacup together and looked at each other.

"Please!" After a brief silence, Yang Anping stood up.

"Let's prepare some tea first!" Yang Changshan's wife stood up and exited the living room with the young woman from the side door. Then the father and son welcomed the door of the living room together. Sure enough, they saw a carriage driving into the yard. After the stop, Zhao Qi and Liu Jiangui were blushing and talking and laughing.

The two sides met, and after a few greetings, they introduced each other and then entered the guest hall, and the guest and host sat down. Soon the two women brought a few cups of hot tea.

After thanking him again, after drinking a few sips of tea, Yang Ping'an asked with a smile and said, "I wonder what Dalang and Manager Liu are saying together?"

"San Master, of course it's what the kid said yesterday. The investment in the port is relatively large, so I brought Liu Yuanwai to invest together. I wonder what the third master is thinking about?" Zhao Qi didn't want to continue to delay and asked straight to the point.

"Brother Qi, my father said you drew a planning drawing for Dawan Village Bay. I wonder if you can take it out and take a look?" Yang Changhai said bluntly.
