He felt that he should recommend Jiaozi to Gong Feng, and it was too inconvenient to travel back and forth between Shuzhong and Qingtang with a large amount of money.

When Gong Feng handed over the list to Yun Zheng, he found that he looked thoughtful, so he smiled and said, "What, did I miscalculate?" I've been interested in numbers since I was a kid, so I can't go wrong in general. ”

Yun Zheng shook his head and said to Gong Feng: "I very much hope that I can use Jiaozi to settle all the business taxes this time and in the future." ”

Gong Feng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You tell me why you have to tear the silk into pieces before selling it to Qingtang!" ”

Yun Zheng said seriously: "Yes, because it is needed!" I am a merchant, so I will sell whatever the guests who buy things need, silk will be made into clothes, quilts, tents, all kinds of things in the Great Song Dynasty, but when the silk arrives in Qingtang, it is a tool to express goodwill and respect for the gods, if I sell the whole silk to the shepherd, the shepherd will not want it, in the same way, I sell the torn silk to the Song people, and the Song people will not want it.

Besides, I am selling silk, naturally I hope that everyone will use as much silk as possible, after tearing it up, its loss will be accelerated, I can sell so much silk next time, in this way, a mature and complete silk use market will be formed, in the future my financial resources will not be exhausted, I am here to open up the business road, as for business, but piggybacking. ”

Gong Feng raised his thumb and praised and said: "It is indeed clever, what you said makes sense, how a person is willing to use the things he buys back, it is his own business, even the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can't control it, the method of doing business is only seen in my life, and it would be strange if Young Brother Yun couldn't become a wealthy businessman in the Great Song Dynasty one day."

You said that Jiaozi pays taxes, this doesn't work, it won't work at all, you have exchanged the silk that can't be sold in Shuzhong for Qingtang's products in Qingtang, and you have already earned a lot of money, why do you still want to control the lifeblood of Qingtang. Although I am from the Song Dynasty, that person always has to share the worries of others, so don't think about the matter of Jiaozi. ”

Yun Zheng sighed and said, "It's a pity." This is the fairest trade, why doesn't Mr. take it? ”

Gong Feng looked at Yun Zheng for a long time and said with a smile: "I know the virtue of a scholar clearly, although I don't mind using Jiaozi, and I also like to use Jiaozi, that is my personal matter, if Jiaozi is promoted to the entire Qingtang, this kind of thing needs to be very, very cautious." ”

Yun Zheng didn't talk anymore, paid the taxes, got the voucher, and sent a large bag of tea to Gong Feng. After telling him the method of brewing, he said goodbye and left, the gift on the carriage was not moved, and now it was given to Gong Feng It was completely a meat bun and a dog, and it would not be of any use.

Coming out of the tax office, Yun Zheng and Steward Lu. As well as Han Niu, Monkey, Peng Jiu strolled in Suichuan City, this city is not big, standing on the north street you can see the city wall to the south, but there are many shops in the market, especially the craftsmen who make zuò silverware. Squatting in the sun, constantly striking the silver leaf with a mallet, their hands are very flexible, and the sound of striking the silverware seems to have a certain rhythm.

Yun Zheng has always been full of respect for laborers, and our world is actually changing little by little by relying on their hands, which cannot be taken lightly.

A little Tibetan boy. Wrapped in a sheepskin jacket, with a proud smile on his black and red face, he was holding a silver cup in his dark hand, and he was inlaying copper wire into the silver cup, which was a meticulous job. It is usually made by an experienced teacher, why is it an eleven or twelve-year-old boy here?

Yun Zheng stood aside and watched the time of a pillar of incense, and when the young man finally smoothed out the burrs that appeared when he inlaid the copper wire, Yun Zheng raised the lotus-shaped cup to come over, it was indeed exquisite, if the whole cup was made of silver, although the silver light looked very rich, but then it would also look very luxurious, and in the bronze wire inlaid with a circle of diamond-shaped fine patterns, this cup also had a bit of Qin Zun's meaning, and a little more ancient.

The little boy was also very happy to see that his work was liked, and when he saw the fine beads of sweat oozing from the tip of his nose, he knew that this was the first time that this child showed his skills in front of people, and whether Yun Zheng could buy this cup was very important to him.

Yun Zheng smiled, took the cup and said to the young man: "I want this cup, however, I have a reluctant request, you should engrave your name on the bottom of the cup, I believe that this cup will double his value because of your reputation." ”

"Nolenge, my name is Nolenge, I am not qualified to engrave my name on silverware, I don't have a chisel." The little boy was a little embarrassed, and his two hands rubbed crampedly on his thighs.

"It's okay, I want this cup, but you need to engrave your unique mark on the bottom of the quilt."

The little boy's eyes immediately lit up, and he took the cup and quickly took the small hammer and copper wire, and at the bottom of the cup was inlaid a small dog, and the puppy had a large nose.

"This is my mark, dog-nosed Norlenge, if the inlaid copper wire is off, or the cup is flattened, you bring it and I will help you repair it, no money!"

Yun Zheng laughed and flicked his finger on the child's nose, which was slightly older than the average person, and paid the bill, holding the silver cup in his hand and continuing to shop.

Miaochuan City is really not big enough, and Yun Zheng even thinks that a single eight-bull crossbow can send a crossbow gun from the north of the city to the city wall in the south of the city. The distance from the young man who made the silverware to the highest room in the whole city was one hundred and seventeen paces, and this distance was exactly the best distance for a warrior to start running, adjust his speed to the best after running thirty steps, and finally throw the javelin, at which time the javelin was at its most powerful.

Yun Zheng wandered around Suichuan City for half an hour, and went to all the places where the city could go, and even made two small transactions in Suichuan by the way, seeing that the sun was rising overhead, he was sure that Jiaoluo would not see him, so he went out of the city and returned to the caravan outside the city. ”

Jiao Guluo did not meet Yun Zheng, but he met Gong Feng, people are still as kind as before, with a smile on his face, Gong Feng himself knows what a cold heart there will be under this kind face.

Jiao Guluo rummaged through Yun Zheng's account books, and finally pointed to the one of the thirty-three war horses and asked Gong Feng: "Why are these horses not within the scope of taxes?" I remember that merchants were not allowed to sell horses in Qingtang. ”

Gong Feng replied: "Marshal, these horses are not sold by Yun Zheng, these thirty-three war horses are all gifts from the Qingtang people to the caravan. ”

"How can he be so favored by the people of Qingtang, you didn't check what is the unsightly thing here, I heard that the Song people are businessmen, the most able to exploit loopholes, our Qingtang laws are inevitably a little more lenient, some problems we didn't think of at all, if he is using the simplicity and kindness of the people of Qingtang to collect money, even if he is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, I will not be spared."

Gong Feng shook his head and said: "The head of the tax office personally followed this caravan to supervise on the spot, and after what they saw and heard, this caravan was indeed doing business honestly, and there was no illegal incident." ”

The horned man stood up suddenly, and asked Gong Feng again: "Are you sure he has no lawlessness?" War horses are the lifeblood of the Qingtang people, how could they be given to a caravan lightly? ”

Gong Feng was accustomed to such intimidation, and said in a deep voice: "This is a gift from Yun Zheng who treated the disease and saved people along the way, and you also know that if the Qingtang people give horses to that person, it means that this person is very kind to him, and his subordinates think that they should not be taken lightly." ”

Jiaoluo looked at Dong Yu beside him suspiciously, and Dong Yu hurriedly said: "Father, it's true, there are a total of thirty-three of these war horses, all of which are given to Yun Zheng by herdsmen, and three of them were given to Yun Zheng under the nose of the child.

Yun Zheng asked Qingyi to greet his father, and also said that the problem of the thirty-three war horses, Yun Zheng said that as long as his father did not want the Qingtang horses to flow out, he planned to exchange these horses for some goods in Suichuan City, and would never embarrass his father. ”

"It's nice to say, Dong Yu, you have to learn from this official businessman in the future, he said not to embarrass your father and me, in fact, after saying these words, he put the problem into my hands, if I don't agree with the outflow of Qingtang horses, it will be regarded as a villain by the herdsmen, if these war horses are allowed to outflow, it will set a very bad precedent, no matter what you do, you are not a person inside and out.

Gong Feng, have you been talking to that young man for a long time, did you say that you didn't discover his true intentions? The old man always felt that how could a young man who was so smart come to Hehuang to open up business without fear of hardships and dangers, such young people should not be many in the Great Song Dynasty, Gong Feng, tell me your opinion, the horse thing is like this, since it is a symbol of affection, we are not easy to start, this kid is so fateful, if he came three years earlier, the old man will definitely rob him of his wealth, no matter how much wealth he has amassed, in the end it will be all ours, and the most worthy thing for the Tubo people is the sword. ”

Gong Feng said with a smile: "This person is definitely the top of the youth, I think that he came to Qingtang for only three purposes, one of them, to sell the silk in Shu, which has been confirmed, last year Shuzhong was hit by a disaster, grain production was reduced strictly, and the money in the hands of the people was stripped clean by the grain merchants, so the official sale of silk became the only salvation hand, in the face of such a big event, it is logical to send the elite of Shuzhong to come."

Second, the lowly investigation learned that this person was not actually a military attaché, originally a civil official, you know, in the Great Song Dynasty, the civil official was replaced by a military attaché, which is almost a humiliation, so the humble speculation that this young man came to Qingtang in order to show his talent, which is a way for him to make political achievements for himself.

Third: I always feel that this person's goal is not ...... my Qingtang, because his actions in Qingtang are very casual and his posture is minimized, so he guesses that he has asked for my Qingtang ......"
