Chapter 122: Insights from the provincial capital, breakthrough in Ming Jin

Under Ma Wencai's arrangement, Gu Qingshan and his party checked into a high-end inn, without letting Gu Qingshan and his party interfere at all. Ma Wencai had already arranged everything in advance.

After personally escorting Gu Qingshan into the inn and helping to put everything away, Ma Wencai handed over his hands and said: "Brother Gu, it's getting late today and you are all tired from traveling. I won't disturb your rest. I will take you everywhere tomorrow."

Take a look around, there are many places of interest and historical sites in Cangzhou city, you have come here, it would be a pity not to take a look around."

Gu Qingshan said politely: "I'm sorry for bothering you, Brother Ma, but I'm leaving you to be so busy."

"Brother Gu, what are you talking about?" Ma Wencai said, "You are a distinguished guest of my Ma family. When you come to Cangzhou City, I should fulfill my duties as a landlord."

The two of them were chatting,

Gu Qingshan escorted Ma Wencai out of the inn.

"Brother Gu, please stay." Ma Wencai bowed and said, "You should go to bed early. You will definitely not get a good rest during this period."

Gu Qingshan cupped his hands and said, "Well, Brother Ma, walk slowly. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Ma Wen then got on the carriage and waved to Gu Qingshan before slowly leaving.

Watching Ma Wencai and his entourage leave, Artai walked up to Gu Qingshan and said, "The people in the Ma family are pretty good. The young men in our Beicang City are all extremely arrogant. This Ma Wencai is as talented as Jiuyuan."

A direct descendant of the Ma family is actually so humble."

Gu Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "They are also arrogant, but they are well-educated and don't show it, or they don't show it to us."

This Ma Wen is the most noble among the young masters that Gu Qingshan has come into contact with. It really makes Gu Qingshan feel the cultivation of the family, which is not comparable to ordinary people. Whether it is speaking, doing things, or treating others, he is meticulous in everything, which makes people feel

Very comfortable.

but,

From the contact just now, Gu Qingshan can see that Ma Wencai still maintains his own identity.

However, Gu Qingshan can also understand,

Even he is unlikely to pay more attention to the people or things below him after he reaches a high level.

Mr. Huang also came to Gu Qingshan's side and whispered: "This Mr. Ma has been testing me just now. President, it seems that we have reached a conclusion in this negotiation."

Gu Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "Then take your time. Negotiations are like this. Everyone wants to get more benefits. Anyway, when you negotiate, remember our bottom line and don't let them guess our bottom line.

That’s fine.”

Business negotiation is also a disguised war.

Gu Qingshan knew that professional matters should be left to professionals, so he specially brought Mr. Huang here.

After chatting for a while, they all went back to their rooms to rest. After nearly ten days of travel, even Gu Qingshan felt a little tired.

However, after returning to the room,

The first thing Gu Qingshan did was to open the martial arts simulator and teach a famous teacher for an hour every day.

He recharged several thousand taels into the system, which was enough for him to use for a long time.

This simulation teaching,

It is really useful and makes Gu Qingshan look forward to it every day.

The effect is also very obvious,

In less than a month,

He has already half-stepped into the realm of Ming Jin. If he hadn't been busy traveling during this period, he would have already broken through to the realm of Ming Jin. He has a hunch that the breakthrough will be within the next few days.

…

At night, Ma Wencai's carriage arrived at a manor.

He got off the carriage and went straight to a small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man with a rather dignified expression. This man was Ma Kangyuan, the seventh master of the third branch of the Ma family.

The third brother of the Ma family, that is, Ma Kangping's lineage, has three main characters. The eldest uncle, Ma Kangwei, is Ma Wencai's father. He is the representative of this lineage of martial arts. He is also a famous top martial artist in Cangzhou and is expected to become a great master of transformation.

.

The seventh master, Ma Kangyuan, is a business representative, mainly responsible for business and in charge of this line of business.

As for Ma Kangping, the magistrate of Beicang County, he is a representative of the officialdom. They are not actually brothers, but they live in the same house. They are ranked by age. Ma Kangping is the third in this lineage, so everyone in the government respects him as the third master.

"Uncle Qi." Ma Wencai cupped his hands and saluted.

Ma Kangyuan nodded slightly, motioned for Ma Wencai to sit down, and said, "You went to see Gu Qingshan, how did you feel?"

Ma Wencai said slowly: "It's similar to what my third uncle said in the letter. He is indeed a rare young talent. He is very impressive and very measured in his words and actions. As for his ability, it goes without saying. He is definitely the leader in the world of Beicang County.

Not bad, worth making friends with.”

Ma Kangyuan nodded and said: "That's okay. You don't need to be responsible for the negotiations. Your main task is to make friends with Gu Qingshan."

Ma Wencai asked doubtfully: "Then, who will negotiate?"

Ma Kangyuan said: "I will send someone else."

Ma Wencai said: "Uncle Qi, today I tested Gu Qingshan. He is very calm, especially the Mr. Huang he brought with him. He is also the person who is mainly responsible for negotiating with our Ma family this time. He is a capable person."

, most people can’t stand it!”

Ma Kangyuan smiled slightly and said: "In this negotiation, our Ma family can suffer a little loss. The focus is not on business and making money, but on Gu Qingshan.

Wencai, you have to understand that the current situation is special. Your third uncle Kang Ping needs to gain momentum in the past two years. We did not expect that something would go wrong in the big house and did not prepare in advance. Now your third uncle wants to fight for the title of head of the family.

position, we are a step behind in terms of prerequisites.

And now if we want to make up for this step, Gu Qingshan is crucial, so you have to make it clear that our cooperation with Gu Qingshan, making money is only a secondary purpose, the main purpose is to let Gu Qingshan, or the Tianying Gang

I can support your third uncle even more in Beicang County."

Ma Wencai nodded and said, "My nephew understands."

Ma Kangyuan added: "Furthermore, judging from your third uncle's evaluation, Gu Qingshan is not the kind of greedy and short-sighted person. If we give him more benefits in business, he will understand and return favors in other places."

.

As long as your third uncle can take the position of the head of the family, there is no harm in spending more money on this room. Therefore, you must remember that I specially asked you to pick up Gu Qingshan this time just to let you make peace with Gu Qingshan in advance.

relationship, you will continue to cooperate with Gu Qingshan in Beicang County."

"My nephew understands, I will definitely pay attention to it."

…

Negotiating with the Ma family cannot be completed in a day or two.

However, Gu Qingshan did not take responsibility and handed everything over to Mr. Huang. The Ma family also sent a special team to handle the matter, and the two groups were having a lively conversation.

In the past few days, Gu Qingshan had been enjoying the scenery of Cangzhou City under Ma Wencai's warm invitation.

Gu Qingshan also gained some knowledge.

Cangzhou City is indeed a provincial city and is much more prosperous than Beicang City. According to Ma Wencai, the previous Cangzhou City had very good security, at least on the surface, no one was arrogantly walking through the streets with weapons.

, there are also very few gang fights, and the police patrolling the six doors on the street are also very diligent.

But during this time,

Cangzhou City is very chaotic, much more chaotic than Beicang County.

There were obviously many troops stationed inside and outside the city, but it was even more chaotic than before.

According to Ma Wencai, during this period of time, various forces competed in Cangzhou City, and many large gangs were reduced to cannon fodder, and many aristocratic families were even destroyed.

When Gu Qingshan was walking around the city,

I have encountered several scenes where the army and government raided homes and exterminated families, and it was really a river of blood.

What particularly impressed Gu Qingshan was that under the heavy weapons of the heavily armed army, personal bravery was suppressed to an extremely low point.

Gu Qingshan once encountered a great Anjin martial artist with a combat power of twelve points. He was surrounded and killed by a hundred-man cavalry, but he did not waste much strength at all.

At that moment, Gu Qingshan was very touched.

In addition, there are really many martial arts gyms in Beicang City, and many of them have real things. Gu Qingshan has seen several martial arts schools in the past few days that are similar to his Qingshan martial arts gym.

In comparison, there are only a handful of schools in Beicang City that can match the quality of Qingshan Martial Arts School.

However, it has not reached the point where Ming Jin is not as good as a dog and An Jin is walking around as Gu Qingshan had guessed before. After walking around for several days, he only met a dozen Ming Jin martial artists, and the only An Jin great martial artist was still there.

Surrounded by the army.

Of course, this is normal,

If the provincial capital is really not as bright as a dog, and secret power is everywhere, then where are the gangs in Beicang County? If you just pick up a few people and they can be used as double-bonus sticks, then everyone will come here to hire people at high prices.

These days, apart from shopping,
