Chapter 124: The Breeze Returns to the Snow
Ochre? This guy is actually quite interesting. - Mo Xiangsi
***
Just when Mo Xiangsi was staring at the bean curd in front of him and was annoyed, he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice behind him and asked with a smile: "Can you have the honor to invite Miss Mo to drink a bowl of bean curd?" ”
Mo Xiangsi was taken aback, and turned back in surprise, but saw that the person in front of him was actually sitting next to him yesterday and whispered his ochre, he was dressed in a cyan robe, and he was not outstanding in the group of heroes in Longyuan yesterday, no, not just not outstanding, but very silent and mediocre, very inconspicuous.
In yesterday's controversy, it can be said that everyone present insisted on their own words, and only when he sat beside him all the time, only occasionally Mo Xiangsi did not understand, he would mention a few words on the side. Moreover, there is another point that if anyone doesn't speak, Long Yuan will mostly name him, but this ochre Huai, who sits in the most conspicuous position with him, has not been named by Long Yuan.
Mo Xiangsi listened to Zhe Huai's invitation, and naturally she couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to refuse, because it was really fragrant and really hungry.
"It's better to be respectful. By the way, why are you here? Mo Xiangsi asked familiarly, he took care of himself like yesterday, and Mo Xiangsi also had a good impression of him.
Zhe Huai was not confined to hypocrisy, nor was he pretentious, he ordered two bowls of bean curd and bought some simple breakfast for Mo Xiangsi, and sat down with Mo Xiangsi at this street stall.
"I have been to Jiangnan many times in spring and summer, but this is the first time I have seen the winter in Jiangnan, and I found that the scenery of West Lake in winter is very pleasant. That's why we all come here early in the morning. ”
Mo Xiangsi said that he was sweating, but he also said straightforwardly: "You guys, you are really leisurely." But didn't your prince say that your good days should come to an end? ”
Zhe Huai smiled faintly and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. All kinds of people see all kinds of scenes, but they think all kinds of things. Just like this little Douhualang, Miss Mo thought that he was suffering and freezing here early in the morning for the copper plate in the hands of the peddler's pawn, but how can you know that he didn't want the poor people who had to work hard all day to eat a hot breakfast and then go to work? ”
The two were talking. The old man with a smile on his face had already served the bean curd and steamed buns and sent them over. With a warm and simple face, let's eat it while it's hot.
Mo Xiangsi was slightly stunned, looked at Ochre Huai and said, "What you said is too mysterious, this is not the vision that a businessman should have." ”
Zhe Huai laughed: "Who said I was a businessman? ”
Mo Xiangsi inadvertently. But sure enough, she saw a broker come to the stall, but suddenly found that she didn't bring any money, of course, Mo Xiangsi didn't know if it was true or fake, but she really saw the old man selling bean curd handing over a bowl of hot bean curd and said, "Drink." Not worth a few bucks. On a cold day, your royal family will go early. ”
That man is not hypocritical. brought it over and drank it, although he didn't thank him, but Mo Xiangsi saw the gratitude in the man's eyes.
Mo Xiangsi turned his head to look at this ochre: "In this world, there are really good people roaring." ”
Zhe Huai always looked at Mo Xiangsi with a smile: "If Miss Mo defines herself as a businessman. Over time, it is natural that you can only look at the world through the eyes of a businessman, which is often very boring. Girl. Can be more than just a businessman. ”
Mo Xiangsi said: "Not just a businessman? ”
Zhe Huai smiled and nodded: "Yes, I was just thinking." In this way, the glass world in front of you, three thousand prosperous, will it be less dirty and beautiful in your eyes. ”
Mo Xiangsi looked at him with a smile and said, "You are such a strange person!" ”
Zhe Huai shook his head: "There are strange people around the prince, and I am just the most ordinary one." Eat quickly, it's too late, I'm afraid I'm going to be late for the morning discussion. ”
Mo Xiangsi also hurriedly ate the buns and drank the bean curd in two bites, although he was still unsatisfied, he still got up and followed Zhe Huai.
Mo Xiangsi felt that Zhen Huai made her very comfortable, so she couldn't help but want to get closer, so she couldn't help but chat with him on the side. The two of them talked and laughed, and before they had enough of talking, they arrived at Biyue Tea House.
And when the two of them went, the people in Juxian Hall were basically seated, waiting for Long Yuan, the main master.
Ochre Huai didn't take Mo Xiangsi directly in, but asked the maid to take Mo Xiangsi to bathe and change clothes first, because although Mo Xiangsi didn't feel it, her current title deed is not very elegant.
Wait for Mo Xiangsi to change his clothes...... Well, this time there is no lame woman pretending to be a man, after all, they are not blind, and they have already seen it yesterday, and then pretending to be pretentious, it is better to be generous and generous.
As soon as Mo Xiangsi arrived at the door of Juxian Hall, he met Long Yuan, Long Yuan glanced at Mo Xiangsi up and down, but his brows furrowed slightly. But he didn't say anything, just paused slightly, and then walked through the door.
When Long Yuan and Mo Xiangsi sat down, everyone saluted, and there was no other nonsense, and they went straight to the point.
Mo Xiangsi still sat in the position last time, on Long Yuan's right hand, leaning on the ochre below, and Long Yuan's table had already placed the strategy written by everyone who stayed up late last night, it seems that this Biyue Tea House was not idle all night last night.
But after all, yesterday Long Yuan used Chu Kuang's opinion, and today everyone was quite a little interested in Chu Kuang's face, but Chu Kuang didn't care about these at all, and seeing that no one spoke, he was the first to start telling Long Yuan about his strategy: "Lord Wang, about the disadvantages of opening the sea ban, such as uneven luck, chaos in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, unstable foundation, and the impact of Yunling's economy on Zhongzhou, as well as the problem of long-distance shipping, there are twenty-one of these things, and these disadvantages have been discussed in the past two years. I really can't bring forth the new, and in response to these 21 articles, I have written out the methods of dealing with them one by one, and they have been presented to the prince......"
Long Yuan was still looking down at Chu Kuang's strategy in his hand, did not raise his head, and motioned for him to continue concisely, this is not for Long Yuan, but for the doormen and Mo Xiangsi present, and then let them put forward their own opinions, refute with Chu Kuang, concentrate everyone's wisdom in the debate, find new problems, and propose new solutions, and then let Long Yuan decide how to deal with it.
Mo Xiangsi listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and also looked at Long Yuan's expression, Long Yuan didn't say much after reading the strategy in his hand, it seems that Chu Kuang's approach has been roughly accepted by Long Yuan.
However, the doormen under the dragon did not look at Long Yuan's face, there are hidden dangers in various problems, and Long Yuan may not be able to penetrate it at a glance, Long Yuan has always encouraged his doormen to express their opinions and go against the current, so this crowd is still very noisy, but it is just a discussion of some specific implementation details, and everyone has no opinion on whether to open the general trend of the forbidden sea.
However, the process of this controversy is very slow, and the more questions are raised, these doormen who look at things with a critical eye always put forward the next problem without solving a problem, although Chu Kuang is talented, but many problems, he can't think of a good solution for a while.
Seeing that it was almost noon, but there were only a handful of things that had been discussed, Long Yuan glanced at Mo Xiangsi, who had not made a sound all morning, and called him again: "This king called you, but I didn't just let you sit there like a nerd, what do you think?" ”
Mo Xiangsi listened to Long Yuan's kind tone to himself who was not at all like his doorman, and also pouted at him before he spoke, and boldly said the little thing he thought of in the morning: "I don't think there is any need to worry about the fact that the large number of merchants from Yunling Kingdom has poured into Zhongzhou and caused losses to Zhongzhou's money and silver. ”
Su Yu was obsessed with this matter, and now Mo Xiangsi was once again-for-tat with him, which caused Su Yu's eyes to look at Mo Xiangsi unkindly.
Mo Xiangsi said: "First of all, the trade between Zhongzhou and Yunling is to be negotiated between the two countries, and all aspects of how to open the sea ban must be negotiated and come up with a rule, and it is definitely impossible to say that it is opened and then no one cares." These things you are talking about can be managed by the government and the court, and we can collect taxes! ”
Everyone was shocked by Mo Xiangsi's idea that had jumped out of the business district, and what businessmen hated the most was the state tax, and they had always tried to evade taxes and avoid talking about it, but they didn't expect Mo Xiangsi to use taxes as a tool!
Mo Xiangsi continued: "When overseas things come in, we have to charge according to the amount, and other things are not easy to control, but this is a matter for the imperial court, and the imperial court can naturally set a tax for them like the tax we pay, if once their goods are too popular in Zhongzhou and sell too well, so that Zhongzhou's silver money will be lost, and when there is a danger to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce or even Zhongzhou, the imperial court can raise this tax, so as to share the profits with their merchants. In this way, the imperial court can take back a part of it to subsidize the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and it can also make the merchants of Yunling Kingdom feel that Zhongzhou does not have so much money to make, and suppress their enthusiasm to do business in Zhongzhou. This is also a protection for the Zhongzhou Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and if the Zhongzhou Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is too strong and squeezes the newborn Yunlingguo shops to no business, then the imperial court can increase the taxes of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and reduce the taxes of foreign merchants, which is an encouragement for them to do business in Zhongzhou. ”
Chu Kuang listened to Mo Xiangsi's words, and his eyes lit up.
Mo Xiangsi seemed to think of something again, and continued: "By the way, not only that, but there are also people from Yunling Kingdom who open shops in Zhongzhou, we can also stipulate where he can only open it, and what kind of business must also be strictly controlled, for example, he can only sell spices, not silk, or can only buy silk, not spices, anyway, that's probably what it means, since you think that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce can't help them, then let the imperial court control it, don't let it be free." ”
Long Yuan listened to Mo Xiangsi's fresh and refined remarks, and couldn't help but smile and nod his head, but Mo Xiangsi continued as if encouraged: "Also, in addition to the twenty-one questions I just said Chu Kuang, I have one more question, which is ......" (to be continued) R466
