Chapter 196: Military Pay
As soon as Zhao Canniang walked up the steps, she smelled a smell of wine, and there was a sound of wine orders in the room.
Zhao Canniang knocked on the door, and the sound in the room stopped suddenly.
A man in a military uniform walked out.
"It's Miss Zhao...... Oh, now it's Mrs. Chen, congratulations, Mrs. Chen! After the officers and soldiers led by him finished speaking, Zhao Canniang laughed: "We've seen each other before, right!" You're a subordinate of the Black Panther Sect, we've seen it in the restaurant before. ”
It's an acquaintance, and it's easy to talk if it's an acquaintance.
The officer and soldier scratched their heads embarrassedly: "I didn't expect Mrs. Chen to remember me." Mrs. Chen's room please. ”
Zhao Canniang nodded, and then walked into the house.
There were several flasks on the table, and the few people who were still drinking stood up at this moment.
"You keep drinking." Zhao Canniang hurriedly greeted.
The officers and soldiers who were talking to Zhao Canniang scratched their heads embarrassedly, and said, "Mrs. Chen doesn't have to pay attention to them, Mrs. Chen, please take a seat!" ”
Zhao Canniang sat down and asked, "I don't know what the big brothers in Lu Dao call yet?" ”
Zhao Canniang can also see that the officer and soldier who received her just now is the leader in the middle.
"My name is Dayong." The officers and soldiers at the head took the lead in speaking.
Zhao Canniang didn't beat around the bush, so she looked at Dayong and said seriously: "Mingren doesn't say dark words, big brother Dayong, if I have something to say, just say it directly!" ”
Zhao Canniang looked at Dayong very seriously.
Dayong saw that Zhao Canniang's face was full of seriousness, and he also became serious: "Madame, if you have anything to say, just say it, you can rest assured that our brothers are all subordinates of the sect leader." Don't worry. ”
Zhao Canniang nodded, the last time I saw Da Yong, I saw the importance that the Black Panther Sect Leader valued Da Yong.
I still believe in Dayong.
"Brother Dayong, this time I have something to hand over to the Black Panther Sect Leader. This is a very important thing, and you must not make any mistakes. I hope you can bring things to the Black Panther Sect in peace. ”
Zhao Canniang is naturally not stupid enough to say what is in the box, in fact, this time in just two days, the Chen family has gathered enough 30,000 taels of silver, the silver ticket and the silver are packed in the box, it doesn't look like a lot, but 30,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, if any of the few people knows what is in the Dao, and has a bad heart, maybe the silver will not reach the hands of the Black Panther Sect Leader. Zhao Canniang didn't want such a thing to happen.
Dayong had already been told, knowing that Zhao Canniang had something to bring to the head of the Black Panther Sect, and when he heard Zhao Canniang say this, he immediately nodded: "Madame, you can rest assured that our brothers will do things, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile: "Then thank you for a few big brothers here, I have prepared the things, and I will send them over in a while." ”
Dayong was originally staying here to get things, and now he has them. Naturally, he wanted to leave: "Our brothers have also rested in the past few days, and when we get our things later, we may have to leave, so I will say goodbye to Mrs. Chen here first." ”
There are some things that everyone knows. Zhao Canniang understood that Dayong stayed to take the silver, and of course she didn't name it: "There is also a letter here for the head of the Black Panther Sect, and I hope that Big Brother Dayong can help bring it." Channiang couldn't be grateful. ”
Zhao Canniang was very polite.
Coming out of the house, Zhao Canniang motioned to the two little guys who came to carry the things to send the silver in.
This time because time is pressing. There is not much silver now, and most of it is silver tickets.
And in total, I earned such a big box in front of me.
Stuff sent in. The rest of the things are not something that Zhao Canniang can control.
Going back with Chen Zhongqiu, the two walked in the garden, chatting as they walked.
"This matter has been dealt with a little bit for the time being, and my heart is a lot more relaxed, and after waiting for two days, we will start planning to take out those treasures in the warehouse and sell them! The head of the Black Panther Sect needs silver now, and these 30,000 taels of silver are far from enough, and I want to help people to the end. "Zhao Canniang really wants to help the head of the Black Panther Sect.
Chen Zhongqiu has never had an opinion on Zhao Canniang's arrangement.
"You make a decision about this matter, you can do what you say, I'll do it, it's just that there are so many treasures, what method do you plan to sell?"
That's the big problem.
Zhao Canniang had already thought of a way in her heart, in fact, Zhao Canniang had been looking for a available method for the past two days, but she had found a good solution.
"Mid-autumn, you see if we can do this, in several relatively large cities, we all open a treasure house, and then take out the things in the warehouse to sell, of course, these treasures are the most suitable to be the treasures of the town store, we can find some treasures to sell, so that we can make money ourselves, and we can also sell these things in the warehouse, naturally if the business is stable, we can also buy the treasures outside, and then this can also form a good industrial chain."
Chen Zhongqiu listened carefully to Zhao Canniang's explanation, and the more he listened, the more energetic he became.
Zhao Canniang said that Chen Zhongqiu's head was thinking at the same time, and gradually a new blueprint had been sketched in his head.
This business can do this, Chen Zhongqiu was happy in his heart: "Canniang, your method is really good, if it is according to what you said, I am afraid that the value of our Chen family will rise at that time." ”
There are many people who have silver, and rare treasures have always been something that everyone admires, as long as there are some people, there are few decent treasures in that family.
"Let's go back to plan this matter, Canniang can marry you, it's really my Chen Zhongqiu's third life, even if your head is not comparable to me, your ideas are so perfect, in the future, you will make suggestions behind me, I will charge ahead, our husband and wife will be combined, and we will definitely be invincible in the mall."
Chen Zhongqiu is very hopeful for the future, he believes that as long as he cooperates with Zhao Canniang, the Chen family will be able to surpass the Ke family in the future and become the commercial overlord of the ancient Zhou Kingdom.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "You can do it, let's go back early and make it clear to my mother." Otherwise, my mother would have suffered again in my brother's heart. ”
The two returned to the main hall. The Qin family and Zhao Qingfeng were still sitting and chatting.
And there are two more people in the room, Lai and Qin Xue.
Zhao Canniang saw Qin Xue looking at Zhao Qingfeng's affectionate look. I was very helpless.
Every time she saw Qin Xue like this, Zhao Canniang felt that her head was big. Zhao Qingfeng also felt like sitting like a needle prick.
Qin Xue's eyes were not disguised at all, even when Chen Zhongqiu saw Qin Xue for the first time, he couldn't help frowning and glanced at Zhao Qingfeng.
"Mother, godmother, brother, I'm back."
Zhao Canniang greeted the three of them, then looked at Lai's and said with a smile: "When did my aunt come?" ”
Lai's Zhilu said that Zhao Canniang didn't like her, pouted, and said a little uncomfortably: "I just came here, I didn't see you coming back today, as a mother's family, I naturally have to be there." ”
At this time, Qin Xue raised her head and looked at Chen Zhongqiu, who was sitting next to Zhao Canniang.
Chen Zhongqiu looks dignified, and Yushu Lingfeng. It looks a lot better than Zhao Qingfeng.
Qin Xue's heart actually rippled a little.
Zhao Qingfeng couldn't think of any way, maybe Chen Zhongqiu could think of it here, the princess of that big family didn't have a few concubines.
Zhao Canniang didn't know at all that Qin Xue's abacus had hit Chen Zhongqiu's body.
There is nothing wrong with Lai's statement.
Zhao Canniang smiled and didn't continue to speak.
Lai's mother and daughter are really not easy to talk here, Zhao Canniang exchanged a few words with a few people, and then followed Chen Zhongqiu to the back garden to rest.
After lunch, Dayong came to say goodbye.
Zhao Canniang's family sent Dayong and the others out of the house.
Lai Shi had lunch, and seeing if there was a chance to make a move today, he had to leave with Qin Xue.
Zhao Qingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. "It's finally gone. Mother, have you told your grandmother about this, my cousin is not a way to do this, I think it is better to find a good family for my cousin to marry! ”
Zhao Qingfeng said that he couldn't bear it, and Qin Xue's gaze was too hot to look at him. And Qin Xue's performance is not too enthusiastic.
Zhao Qingfeng didn't like this feeling.
Qin sighed,
Back in the room, there were only Mrs. Ji and Zhao Qingfeng of the Qin family in the room.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu sat side by side.
"Sister, you can tell me what happened now!" Zhao Qingfeng has long been itching. Curious to figure out what exactly happened.
Zhao Canniang nodded and said, "Brother, do you remember the list you gave me?" It's just that the list that didn't let me read it out, the congratulatory gift they gave to the head of the Black Panther. ”
This matter was taken over by Zhao Qingfeng himself. Of course it's clear.
"I naturally know this matter, and I took the list from Dayong at that time. I don't know what you're asking for? ”
Zhao Canniang then continued to explain: "This is what I want to say, brother, when you were in Yucheng, you knew about the lack of military salaries of the Black Panther Sect, right! ”
Zhao Qingfeng nodded, General Erhu secretly said these things, so Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng both knew about it.
Zhao Canniang then said: "This time the head of the Black Panther Sect is nominally giving me a congratulatory gift, but in fact, the deep meaning is that I want to dispose of those treasures, you know their identities, and they are not suitable for showing up, not to mention that it is a lowly industry like business, they are even more unlikely to be involved, naturally this task falls on us, and the Black Panther Sect leader also trusts us." ”
Zhao Qingfeng knows more than Chen Zhongqiu, at this time Zhao Canniang said a rough idea, and Zhao Qingfeng already understood that the list behind was what the Black Panther Sect Leader had to deal with.
"So what are you going to do next? Each of those treasures is unique, have you thought of a way to deal with it? Zhao Qingfeng asked worriedly.
Chen Zhongqiu, who was sitting on the side, nodded at this time and said: "Canniang has already thought of a way, we plan to open stores in several big cities, and slowly dispose of these treasures when the time comes, and we can slowly pay some of the silver to the head of the Black Panther Sect, and today we will send 30,000 taels of silver out of the city." ”
It's all a family, there is no need to hide it at all, Zhao Qingfeng was happy when he heard it, but then he still complained and said: "Why don't you tell me such a big thing?" Although I don't have a lot of money there, I can make up a few thousand taels, at least I can do my best! ”
Zhao Qingfeng is also enthusiastic.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "This matter is also very urgent, otherwise we would not have been able to get more than 20,000 taels of silver tickets." There is only a little bit of silver. If my brother wants to do his best, there will be a chance next time! ”
Zhao Canniang's words make a lot of sense. Zhao Qingfeng agreed with both hands.
At this time, Qin Shi asked a little puzzled: "What does the Black Panther Sect Leader not explain?" ”
Zhao Canniang smiled: "Mother, didn't I say it at the beginning, the status of a businessman is the lowest." How can they do business with such a noble identity, and I think the head of the Black Panther Sect also wants to help us, you must know that there are many treasures in the middle of the road that are unattainable, and if you take out the things that will be sensational, as long as we make good use of them, the benefits can only be said to be endless. I think the head of the Black Panther Sect also thought of this, so he sent so many valuable treasures over. ”
Zhao Canniang's words hit the heart of the Black Panther Sect Leader, and indeed the Black Panther Sect Leader wanted to solve his own problems on the one hand, and wanted to help Zhao Canniang on the other hand. You must know that many of these things are treasures that cannot appear outside, and the head of the Black Panther Sect just thinks that these things are precious, so he doesn't want to cheapen outsiders with such a good opportunity.
Here, Zhao Canniang's family was discussing the matter of the baby, while in the barracks on the other side, the leaders of the Black Panther Sect were sitting together.
Dahu looked at the panther with a serious face and said, "I always feel that this thing is still too hasty, and those treasures are worth a lot of silver." ”
Dahu felt that it was a bit risky to send so many people out of the middle at once, what if Zhao Canniang didn't understand the meaning of the middle? What if Zhao Canniang is reluctant to take the silver out?
In short, all kinds of worries. The things that were given to Zhao Canniang were all their intentions, but the remaining treasures were all the soldiers' salaries for the next year!
Erhu on the side stood up and said, "I believe Canniang will understand what we mean." And I'm Canniang, that girl is very smart, it's impossible not to know what we mean. We just have to wait until they come back. Everything is not known. ”
The other few people didn't speak, watching the big tiger and the second tiger arguing.
The head of the Black Panther Sect said at this time: "None of you need to say it. I know this matter in my heart, just like Erhu said, we just need to wait a little longer for this matter, and we have no other way now, you also know the situation of the Dao treasury. The emperor gave us those rare treasures as food, we can only sell them, no matter how precious they were before, no matter how precious they were, they were dead things, and there were hundreds of thousands of precious lives of our soldiers. ”
"Zhao Canniang, I still believe it, just like the second tiger said, Zhao Canniang is smart I believe he can understand what we mean, we just need to wait a little longer, I still have tens of thousands of taels of silver on hand for the time being, I will give you the silver when the three tigers wait, you all buy grain and grass, the soldiers are all family, and everyone will send some silver out of the river."
The head of the Black Panther Sect is really a good general.
Two months later, Dayong and the others finally rushed back to the border pass, and they brought back the wooden box that Zhao Canniang called back.
Dayong and the others were not curious to open it and take a look.
When the big wooden box was placed in the center of the tent, the head of the Black Panther Sect and several generals were excited.
They had a hunch that Zhao Canniang understood what they meant.
The head of the Black Panther Sect hurriedly asked someone to smash the lock and open the box.
On the upper floor were neat stacks of silver tickets, and below were gold and silver.
Dayong was also a little surprised when he saw the contents of the box, in the past two months, he was not curious to open it to see, but he didn't expect that all the silver tickets and silver sent by Zhao Canniang were silver.
"By the way, Mrs. Chen still has a letter for me to bring to you." As he spoke, Dayong took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to the Black Panther Sect Leader.
Several people leaned in to take a look.
In the middle of the sound, the head of the Black Panther Sect finished reading the letter, and said to several generals: "We bet right, Canniang understood what we meant, the letter said that because of the urgency of time, this time the son got more than 30,000 taels of silver, and they recently tried to collect more silver to send it, and they also said that they planned to sell all the treasures we sent, and the silver sold was sent to us." ”
The head of the Black Panther Sect was indescribably excited, although 30,000 taels of silver was not a lot, but as long as there was a steady stream of silver, all the problems could be solved.
As long as the treasury is gradually filled, the problem can be solved.
They didn't have to worry about food, the panther sect leader was very happy, handed the letter in his hand to the three tigers, and then squatted down and carefully checked the silver ticket in the box.
The five tiger generals are very excited, fortunately, things have taken such a big turn now, as long as Zhao Canniang can sell those rare treasures, then they don't have to worry about food and salary every day.
The treasury is empty, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and many places need to use silver, and there are many natural disasters this year, and the treasury has long been stretched, and the food and salary are a big head.
The emperor also had no choice, so he gave these rare treasures obtained by the raider to the head of the Black Panther Sect, and asked the Black Panther Sect Leader to figure out a way by himself, which was the military salary.
At the beginning, the worries of the big tiger were all gone.
Erhu's face was full of smiles: "I just said that Canniang is not that kind of person, that girl is very smart, but I am worried that those rare treasures are not easy to sell." ”
Those treasures are often tens of thousands of taels, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.
Erhu's worries are not unreasonable.
"I'm also worried about this, but I don't care, I believe that Canniang's business mind is better than ours, as long as we can sell things, everything will be easy, keep half of the 30,000 taels, and distribute the rest!"
The leader of the Black Panther Sect ordered that they had owed the soldiers a few months of military salaries, and although everyone did not say anything, as generals, they felt guilty. (To be continued......)
