Chapter 148 Six Girls Who Scared People to Death 3

Wei Zhao and Su Cen leaned forward in unison, and shouted at Gu Xinyue over the table.

is that both of them are handsome beauties, and this face suddenly came to the front, Gu Xinyue was still a little surprised.

He leaned towards Gu Mohan's side unconsciously.

Gu Mohan was also frightened by her words, but as soon as she moved, her body subconsciously stepped forward, half-covering Gu Xinyue, and said to the two opposite: "What are you doing?" I want to scare people and find someone else! My sister is weak and can't stand it! ”

It's your sister who scares us!

Wei Zhao and Su Cen glared at Gu Mohan, but they still sat back honestly, calmed down, and regained their original graceful and elegant appearance.

"Xinyue, ......" Seeing that the two of them sat down and glared at him again, Gu Mohan hesitated for a moment and called softly, but the words behind him were a little indescribable.

How did you come up with such a thing?

Gu Xinyue walked around between the three of them with wide eyes and innocently, and said puzzledly: "Isn't it good?" However, I think this is very good, you see, my brother's Zhuangzi can collect a lot of grain in a year, but he doesn't have a grain store, so he can only sell it to those grain merchants at a low price, if I can send it directly to Ganzhou, as long as the price is higher, I can make money, and also, those grain producing areas, the price of grain is even cheaper, the locals gather to transport their excess grain to the border and sell it at a high price, what a good thing, why not do it? And you also save trouble, as long as you supervise the merchants well, you don't need so many people to worry about transporting grain, how good! ”

Well, of course it's good!

But this is really what you little girl came up with!

Wei Zhao and Su Cen kept looking at Gu Mohan with suspicion and horror.

Since ancient times, military rations have been the top priority of the imperial court, from the collection of grain to the allocation to the transportation to the distribution, there are many links, and the officials, soldiers and civilians used to occupy a lot of labor, and every year, the imperial court uses much more money on this than military salaries.

But what if you let this go and let the businessmen do it?

Merchants have been lowly people since ancient times, as long as they are a little self-motivated, they will not be merchants, so the power of merchants is limited, even if they are merchants, they are just small fights.

However, after the Chu Dynasty, the status of merchants began to rise, and today, there are many big merchants who are fully capable of transporting a certain amount of grain to the border passes.

If the scale is formed, then not only the military department and the army can save a lot of things, but the imperial court can also save a lot of expenses and personnel.

But such a method was something that Wei Zhaodu had never considered, let alone those ministers above the court who regarded merchants as inferior.

And how does Gu Xinyue know about a little girl's film? Could it be that Gu Mohan instructed it?

If a military general is not only powerful in force, but also powerful in this kind of thing, then ......

The look on Gu Mohan's face was similar to theirs, looking at Gu Xinyue was inexplicably shocked, his voice stammered a little, and said, "Xinyue, you, how did you think of this?" ”

"Huh?" Puzzled by their surprise, Gu Xinyue looked left and right, and said, "What's so strange about this, I'm not thinking about how to earn you a military salary?" When I saw those grain stores, I thought, ah, there are so many granges of the Hou family in Huibei, all of which are sold from their own shops, and then I think that our Zhuangzi also has a lot of grain, and then I think about it, you see, we have so much grain ourselves, why can't we sell it to the border army ourselves? It's to increase freight manpower or something, but if the court is willing to add this part of the cost to me, then I still make money, and the court also earns, because my own business must be very strictly controlled, and the cost will be reduced, but it's not better than the court to get lucky? If you run into a few corrupt officials like Huibeihou, wouldn't that brother's soldiers be very unlucky? ”

Gu Mohan and Su Cen looked at each other for a moment, and Su Cen laughed twice: "The sixth girl is really thinking about your brother." ”

However, ordinary noblewomen think so much!

Yes! Yes!

How old are you! With just a list of grain shops, you can God spread so far!

Before his voice fell, Gu Xinyue had already turned his head to look at him and said, "So, Brother Su, you can promise me, you see, the price I want must be cheaper than you to buy and ship it yourself!" The money you save will make up for my brother's salary!" ”

Belch......

Su Cen and Gu Mohan were stunned for a moment, and Su Cen glared at Gu Mohan with jealousy.

Gu Mohan lowered his head, his eyes were tender, with a little bit of water, and said softly: "Xinyue, the military order made by my brother means that you can't ask the court for a copper plate anymore, even if the court saves money, you can't give it to your brother." ”

"Huh? Why are you so slammed! Gu Xinyue said disappointedly.

"Six girls." Since listening to Gu Xinyue's first sentence, Wei Zhao has been pondering, and said with an inquiring look in his eyes: "You only think that you can make money by transporting grain, have you ever thought that the imperial court transports grain by itself, and many payments can be postponed or deducted in other ways, but if you want to pay to merchants, it has to be cash, where did the imperial court get so many silver taels?" If there is no money to pay you, won't you lose money? ”

"Ahh The court is so discredited? Gu Xinyue looked at Gu Mohan slightly.

"He doesn't dare to owe my sister's money, but it's hard to say about other businessmen." Gu Mohan laughed softly.

The status of businessmen is already low, whether it is not given by the imperial court, or by the officials in charge, businessmen have no place to appeal, so they can only suffer dumb losses.

However, the amount of grain transported is very large, and the amount of money involved is also large, as long as you are owed an order, I am afraid that you will be bankrupt.

There is a huge profit in it, and those businessmen are afraid and dare not do it.

"Hey, I knew that the imperial court was short of money, but I really didn't expect such a lack of money." Gu Xinyue sighed and said.

"However, the sixth girl can have this thought, and ......" Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup, and began to think about the feasibility of this matter, and comforted casually.

But before he finished speaking, he saw that the little girl's eyes on the other side lit up again, and the light made Wei Zhao's heart rise up.

Gu Xinyue clapped her hands and said, "Ah! It's not that hard! It doesn't matter if the court doesn't have money, didn't Brother Wei also say that even if he transported his own grain, he would use something else to replace it? I remember that the tea and salt in our Chu country are all sold by the government, ordinary people cannot buy and sell, and they can also be priced as silver, so can the silver money to be paid be exchanged for a certain amount of tea and salt, and after the price is lowered a little, it can be used to pay for the grain of those merchants, and then, those merchants will go to the designated place to extract salt tea and bring it back to sell it themselves. ”

With a pop, Wei Zhao's tea squirted out again.
