Chapter 085: Get What You Want
Sang Xia now has this confidence, precisely because her rules are clearly listed, and people with discerning eyes understand her persistence, and many people who want to do something from it are honest.
But it's not entirely none.
There are always some people in this world who think they are smart and think that their talents are above everyone else.
"This is the sixth piece of evidence received, Lord Xu, has it been verified over there?"
"It's been verified." Xu Fang raised a few pages in his hand, "This person knows his old background very well, and he found out that it is basically the same." ”
"Announce it, confiscate seventy percent of his assets, and don't get out of business."
"Yes."
Sang Xia snorted lightly, "Since you have to kill chickens to make an example of monkeys, I don't mind slaughtering a few more big ones, I am in a panic because of the lack of silver." ”
Everyone else laughed, but no, if there were a few more restless people like this, it would be equivalent to a lot of silver for nothing.
An Pingzhi pushed the door in and nodded slightly to the others, "Hold Heng, the ten grain merchants have arrived." ”
"If you don't remind me, I'll forget." Sang Xia slapped his forehead, got up and said to Xu Fang: "Lord Xu, this matter will be handed over to you, no matter who he finds to intercede, he will refuse, and the official will bear all the consequences." ”
"Yes."
The grain merchant asked to serve tea in the flower hall across the courtyard, and when the official came down a few days, Sang Xia walked more and more vigorously.
When she was about to arrive at the flower hall, she suddenly stopped and turned back, An Pingzhi looked back suspiciously, "What?" ”
Sang Xia solemnly said thank you, and no matter what An Pingzhi's reaction was, the corners of the big red official uniform were raised, and he quickly stepped into the flower hall.
An Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, then covered his eyes and smiled.
Is Zhiheng telling him that she sees everything he does in her eyes and in her heart? That's a real pleasure.
Listen to the sound of peace in the house. An Pingzhi took a deep breath and followed.
"I invite you to come here for one thing: food." Sang Xia didn't say half a nonsense, and went straight to the point, "You are all big grain merchants, and you have several granaries of grain in your hands, and this official will not get you for nothing, the new rice is bought at 70% of the market price, and the old rice is bought at 60% of the market price." This official has checked before. Although the price is a little lower, it doesn't make you lose money, and you should still be able to make a little profit. ”
But there's no profit at all! The grain merchants looked at each other and smiled bitterly. What's more, "adults are benevolent, and grass people are willing to do their part, but grass people already have plans to leave their business status." This is already seventy percent handed over, and you can't do business in the future. The remaining thirty percent is the only reliance in the family, if it is taken away by the imperial court at a low price, the grass people, the grass people, the grass people......"
Sangsha looked at the old man who spoke. "Old Zhu?"
The old man hurriedly bent over, "Don't dare to be." ”
"It's true that there isn't much money to make, but this official is not doing business with you now. The situation in Jiangnan is unstable, and people die every day to grab a bite to eat. Are they wrong? It was God who decided that they were born in the land south of the Yangtze River, and it was God who made them lose everything, all they want now is to live, and since the official is in charge of this matter, he should do everything in his power to help them, even if he takes advantage of the people, the official does not care. ”
Sang Xia's eyes swept over the ten people coldly, all of them were ruddy, fat and strong, eight out of ten eyes were full of disapproval, she was not angry, anyway, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, she was now the thighs that couldn't be twisted.
"Regardless of whether you get rid of your business status or not, the grain official wants it, this matter is not negotiable, there will be an official messenger coming to the door soon, you cooperate well, the court will not forcibly occupy it for nothing, but it cannot be deceived."
"My lord has mercy, if all the grain is bought by the imperial court, won't the grain stores of the grass people have to be cut off? There are still a few months left before the autumn harvest, how can this be supported, and please be merciful to the grass people to leave a way to live! ”
"Lu Benguan will naturally point it out to you." Sang Xia knew that he had to give another red date to hit a stick, and he couldn't really force people to be in a hurry, "The tax in this autumn will be a little lower than in previous years, of course, only for those who have merit, as for how to be meritorious, you must know how to do it." ”
As a grain merchant, the grange is indispensable under his name, in addition to the amount that can be owned on the surface, the amount in the secret is even greater, if the official can really raise his hand......
Some people are still settling the calculations, and some people have already stood up, "The grass people are only obedient to the orders of adults." ”
Someone opened this head, how dare others really offend the court officials, they bowed their heads one after another, and the matter was settled.
Sang Xia quietly breathed a sigh of relief, these ten people are the biggest grain merchants in the capital, as long as they get the grain in their hands, they can solve part of the problem first, and they can buy her some time.
Under the personal supervision of Sang Xia, the grain was transported out of the granaries at a rapid speed, and it was transported to Jiangnan without much stop, and the long procession walked on the street, so that the people eating, drinking and having fun on both sides were very quiet for a while.
But just after a while, as soon as the team passed, the capital was still bustling and noisy.
It was already five days in the blink of an eye, and as the first people to get the news, Qin Xin, Xu Yueshan, Kong Hongfeng, and Tao Yu were the first to get their wish.
When they came out of the household with a new household post, the four of them all had red eyes, they had been cheap from Shang Gu, and now, they have finally taken off their lowly status!
The other people who came to watch the results saw that they were like this, how could they not know that the matter had been done, and there was an uproar, what does this mean? It shows that Master Sang did not deceive them, and it is true that as long as seventy percent of the assets are handed over, they can get out of business!
For some people, don't say seventy percent of their assets, as long as they can find a better path for their children and grandchildren, eighty percent of them are willing to go.
Sang Xia looked at it not far away in civilian clothes and didn't approach, but her face after a few days of hard work showed some looseness, she had done all the arrangements that should be made, and the development of things was also expected by her, she had done everything she could, and the rest of the matter could only wait.
"Childe, miss." An Jia's attendant trotted over, "A guest from home, ask to see Miss Sang." ”
Sang Xia got into the carriage, An Pingzhi followed, the attendant jumped on the carriage flexibly, and the carriage rushed home, Sang Xia asked at this time, "Who is coming?" Is there a greeting sticker? ”
The attendant hurriedly replied, "There is no post, there are a total of five sons, they all look like they have gone on a long journey, and the small ones look at the eyes, they should not be from the capital." ”
Who could it be? Could it be that my mother sent it? Except for this, Sangsha really can't think of other possibilities.
It would be nice if it was really someone sent by her mother, Sang Xia Tuo, Master Zuo, they were all sent to Jiangnan by her, Jiangnan couldn't come back, and there were only willow branches and pearls left around her, and the two of them were made by her all day long, if it weren't for the people of the An family who followed her call, she would have been unavailable.
