Chapter 86 Businessman

By the time everything was done, the sun had already passed noon, and as a modern person, in this rhythm in ancient times, I really felt that I had waited too long.

Guo Zongxun got out of the carriage and walked into the store, and most of the soldiers also retreated, leaving only Cao Bin, Tian Daxi and Zhang Tieniu.

Of course, there is also the shopkeeper Cui who has a sad face but does not dare to resist.

"Shopkeeper Cui, where did the grain for your winery come from?"

"If Xiaomin returns to the four princes, this is purchased by Xiaomin from Huainan generation, the cost is very high, Xiaomin's wine-making skills can only be sold, although the price of grain in the north is slightly higher than that of Huainan, but with the transportation of this piece, the cost of transporting grain from the south is higher."

Guo Zongxun nodded, this is okay, not to mention grabbing food from the common people, people are originally family heirlooms to make wine, and they can only rely on this skill to make a living.

"Shopkeeper Cui, you can still take into account the livelihood of the people in the north, don't add chaos to the market, respectable and admirable, since this prince occupies your winery and occupies your family's winemaking skills, this Hundred Battles Heroes Hall will give you half of the share, and then hire you to be the big treasurer of the Hundred Battles Heroes Hall, and there will be a monthly salary, and there will be dividends at the end of the year, what do you think?"

Cao Bin only instigated the flowers on the side, the four princes were too ruthless, occupying other people's wine shops, only giving people half of the share, and turning people from shopkeepers to big guys, how can this be reasonable.

"Xiaomin obeys the arrangement of the four princes."

Cui Zhi didn't complain, he didn't fight or grab, and he cooperated honestly, even Guo Zongxun was a little strange.

"Shopkeeper Cui, don't you have the slightest resentment against this prince for occupying your winery and oppressing you so much?"

Cui Ju raised his head, and a smile appeared on his dark and already wrinkled face:

"If Xiaomin goes back to the fourth prince, Xiaomin is a businessman, this account is still calculated, Xiaomin is now doing things for the royal family, it's too late to be happy, where will there be resentment."

is really a smart person, Guo Zongxun laughed and said:

"It turns out that you were sad just now, not because you were oppressed by this prince, but because you were worried about your old guys, right?"

"Xiaomin's words back to the fourth prince, it is exactly like this, among these guys, there are two or even three generations of my Cui family, Xiaomin is really worried about them."

Guo Zongxun nodded, and said:

"This prince is also in a hurry, and there are indeed some ill-conceived things, so let's wait for the winery to be rebuilt, this will be used as the main store for winemaking and selling wine, and this prince will find a few more shops in Kaifeng City as branches, and then you will be in charge, pick some of the ones you want to recall, and let them go to the branch to sell wine."

Cui Ju knelt down again and kowtowed:

"Xiaomin, thank you for the kindness of the fourth prince, it's just that this severance pay was a little too much just now, and this transaction is at a loss."

Even Cao Bin laughed along, why is the fourth prince so discerning, this Cui is not a businessman, but he is a very interesting and smart businessman.

"Fourth Highness, there are a few shops in the last general's house, and the business has always been average, if you don't dislike it, the fourth highness, the last general is also willing to give it."

Guo Zongxun said with a smile:

"General Cao, do you want to get close to the water and get the moon first? However, this prince would like to remind you that if you get on the thief ship, you can't get down. ”

How could Cao Bin not understand the truth of this sentence, and immediately bowed down and said:

"The last general has made up his mind, and he asks the four princes to fulfill it."

Who is Cao Bin, even the dog thief Zhao Kuangyin commented that Cao Bin is the only person who does not deceive the master after he ascended the throne, which shows the character of this person.

The allusion says: When Song Taizu was a courtier of Later Zhou Shizong at the beginning, Cao Bin was a servant by Shizong's side, in charge of tea and wine. Song Taizu once asked Cao Bin for wine, and Cao Bin said: "This is public wine, I can't give it to you." I bought my own wine and invited Taizu to drink. Later, when Taizu ascended the throne, he once said to his ministers: "The officials around Sejong do not deceive the lord and hide it, only Cao Bin is alone." From then on, he regarded Cao Bin as a confidant.

As for Cao Bin, like many people, he submitted to the Great Song Dynasty of the old Zhao family, and now Guo Zongxun has figured it out.

If it were him, the general trend would have gone, and it would not be the mortal enemy of the regional race, not to mention that at the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were very few people who could uphold the idea of loyalty to the king.

Those who can rather keep the festival are even rarer.

Don't be too careful, too careful, the current Manchu Dynasty civil and military have become the nine tribes.

By the way, there is only one person who does not need to be commended by the nine clans in the Manchu Dynasty, Guo Zongxun also remembered by chance, this person is the current deputy commander of the Guards Department Han Tong.

Guo Rong took Guo Zongxun to inspect the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division, and took the initiative to give Guo Zongxun the Han Tong who led the horse.

Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi joined forces and opened the gate of Kaifeng City, and the only one in the city who led his servants to resist was Han Tong.

The result can be imagined, Han Tong's entire family was slaughtered by Wang Yansheng, who participated in the Chenqiao Mutiny......

It also exposes a lie.

Later, in order to whitewash the fact that the old Zhao family conspiracy to seize power, the Great Song Dynasty fabricated the popular will and bloodless entry into Kaifeng, and Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty was happy and convinced of the Zen position, and also took the initiative to beg for the surname Chai to show that he had nothing to do with the Later Zhou Guo family......

How shameless it is.

History is written by the victors, Guo Zongxun deeply sympathizes with this, and when he completely defeats Zhao Kuangyin, he will step on Zhao Kuangyin's face with one foot and ask very arrogantly:

"Honestly be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou, isn't it fragrant, isn't it exciting, isn't it comfortable, why do you have to rebel?"

Then, the historian was ordered to record it truthfully and spread it to the world.

Guo Zongxun has been asking Wei Zhongxian to pay attention to Han Tong recently, this kind of person is too precious, as long as there is nothing wrong with him, Guo Zongxun will treat him well and reuse him.

What makes Guo Zongxun the most angry is that there are still people in later generations who comment, saying that Han Tong is not necessarily a loyal, and at that time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, anyone who has military power in his hands has a rebellion.

I said, everyone died in the battle for the Hou Zhou Festival, can we be kind, don't you want to show your loyalty, why do you have to question the loyalty of the fait accompli?

Of course, blindly believing in history is also not advisable, so Guo Zongxun takes a very cautious attitude towards how to treat Han Tong.

Let's talk about Cao Bin, this is a famous general in history, and now he can tell Guo Zongxun that he has made up his mind to achieve it, which has made Guo Zongxun very satisfied.

Although, it's just that Cao Bin wants to follow Guo Zongxun to do business with him.

But at least, in the face of rebels like Zhao Kuangyin in the future, Cao Bin will firmly stand on Guo Zongxun's side.

"General Cao, this prince is not a personal friend to the minister of the court, let my father know, you go and explain to him yourself, and also, you vacate a shop first, the location is better, and you can ......pay for the expenses yourself."

Cao Bin didn't know that Guo Zongxun had been thinking about how to get him in his pocket for a long time, and he was now happy that he finally had the opportunity to make a fortune with the four princes.

"The last general will obey the order, these little things will not bother the four princes, and the last will take care of them."

"Remember, your Cao family only goes out of the store, and no one is allowed to participate, after the completion of the Hundred Battles Heroes Hall, the prince will decide on business matters, and no one is allowed to ask."

"The last general understands, and the last general is waiting for the money."
