Chapter 134: Easier said than done
"Lin Quan (Zhu Dian), a merchant at the end of the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, has seen the Marquis of Zhongyong."
Chen Shou said with a smile: "You two don't have to be polite, you have come from afar, there is a lot of hardship, please sit down." ”
The two of them glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Chen Shou, the loyal and brave Marquis who was famous in Jiangnan, to be so polite, you must know that he was not a good reputation in Jiangnan.
It is rumored that this person dominates the dynasty, excludes dissidents, and kills people, just like Dong Zhuo and An Lushan in the world.
Now it seems that he is not only clear-eyed, handsome, but also very kind.
Tao'er and Liu'er brought two chairs, and the two of them were polite and thanked before taking their seats.
Chen Shou stretched out his hand and said, "This is my father-in-law." ”
Miao De nodded with a smile, and the two of them quickly got up and saluted again. Even the people in Jiangnan know that Chen Shou's rise depends on the four godfathers, and the four eunuchs of the Great Qi Dynasty have all become his godfathers, and this luck should be against the sky.
"Tea!"
After Chen Shou finished speaking, Tao'er returned to the screen, took the kettle, and poured teacups for the two of them.
The two of them also smiled and nodded, and Chen Shou smiled: "Jiangnan tea is far better than Daqi, but my tea is also unique, please taste it carefully." ”
The two of them picked up the teacup, gently stirred the mist, and tasted it very fragrant.
Although Chen Shou gave enough face to the two people, Lin Quan and Zhu Dian are both businessmen, and in business, it is impossible to bow down because you pay a bow, when it is time to talk, you still have to strive for greater interests.
However, Chen Shou's courtesy still made them leave a good impression in their hearts.
"Sure enough, it's good tea, I, and other people who are so endearing, should be grateful for such a favor from the Hou Ye. However, the two of us are employed by the Chamber of Commerce, but we dare not make our own claims. Coming here today, there are some things that still have to be promised by the Hou Ye himself, and I will wait until I can go back to my life. ”
Chen Shou glanced at Miao De? Two people laughing? "If you think I'm smiling with a knife, you're wrong. Do I do business with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce? Is it sincere? You are in Jiangnan and the price, I will collect the original price! ”
Two people's faces sank? This loyal and brave marquis smiled, I don't know if he is really stupid or pretending to be crazy? The price in Gangnam is Gangnam? When it is transported to Daqi, you have to worry about being robbed on the road, and there is also the freight on the road, how can it be equivalent.
"This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? Lin Quan said: "We transported it to Tanggu, how can it be thousands of miles?" There were many pirates on the way. Labor-intensive? Countless. And don't hide it from the Hou Ye, we also have to buy off the Jiangnan officials, so as not to be confiscated by the government, which is also a lot of money. ”
Chen Shou sank his face and said, "Okay? We can discuss this again. ”
Miao De smiled: "The price is negotiable?" After the price is set, it must not be increased again? That's the most important thing. ”
Zhu Dian hurriedly said: "How can there be an immutable truth? ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work? Do you just say a price? Do I have to take it all? Chen Shou asked angrily.
"It's... It's all about talking. ”
Chen Shou nodded? Pretending to be a complete layman, he asked, "How much do you sell overseas, and I can always collect it according to the price, right?" ”
"Half of the list purchased by Hou Ye is prohibited items that are not sold overseas. Moreover, along the coast of Daqi, there are many fishermen who go to the sea to rob passing ships. We were deeply affected by the transportation to Goryeo and Dongying, let alone directly to Daqi. It makes sense to increase the price appropriately. The two men nodded their heads and responded to each other.
Chen Shou sighed and said, "If you think that Daqi is dangerous, you can transport it to Goryeo, and I will send someone to Goryeo to transit." ”
"Why bother, isn't it easier to go directly to Tanggu? Hou Yezai is in charge of Daqi, if he is willing to start a business, I think the monarchs and ministers of Jiangnan will gladly agree. ”
Chen Shou said in his heart, if I were to control the entire Great Qi, I would have already crossed the damn water practitioner to the south. Not to mention a few military towns in Jiangbei, how many counties and counties can listen to me in Lianghuai?
"Since everyone has so many differences, it is better to take a day off for each other, list their prices and details, and discuss them tomorrow."
Chen Shou frightened the eviction order, and the two of them couldn't talk anymore, and they also wanted to go back and discuss with the people who came with the Chamber of Commerce.
Chen Shou got up, personally sent them down to the water pavilion, returned upstairs and said with a smile: "Merchants are profit-seeking, if you want to keep the price to the lowest, I think you have to talk about it more than ten times." ”
Miao De said: "The silver taels we have on hand are not abundant, so we have to find a way." ”
---
Longmen Mountain, Jiang Chu opened a dossier, and his face became more and more ugly.
"Chen Shou, under the pretense of the puppet little emperor he supported, issued twelve edicts in a row to let Li Xin send troops. It is also shameless to say that we in Longmen Mountain colluded with the Mongols in an attempt to lure foreign races into the customs. ”
Although Longmen Mountain was ready to contact the Mongols, before they could do anything, Chen Shou buttoned down his hat.
This made Jiang Chucai in a dilemma, if he contacted Mongolia, he would be stained with yellow mud in his pants at that time, and he couldn't say clearly.
If he didn't contact the Mongols, he asked himself if he was Li Xin's opponent, especially Li Xin, who had enough money, food and materials.
"If it's a pinch, then you don't want to be famous." Jiang Qixun said viciously: "When the Mongols go south, they lack a mouth, and if it doesn't work, we will vote for Mongolia." ”
"But... There are several Khitan states in between. ”
"The Khitan people are weak, as long as we are reconciled, he is eager for revenge and will definitely be willing to send troops. Even if the whole army did not go south, there was an elite Mongolian army that came to help in the battle. We hold Longmen Mountain, more than enough. ”
Jiang Chu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Even if I am willing, other families in Hedong may not be willing. ”
"Mudicate the waters, and if you don't want to, let the Mongols occupy it! If it really doesn't work, I'll cooperate with the White Lotus Sect for the time being! Anyway, they, like us, also regard Chen Shou as a mortal enemy. "Jiang Qixun is completely let go.
They all saw that Hedong did not have the strength to compete with Li Xin, who was backed by the imperial court, and in order to protect themselves, they could only look for foreign aid.
Jiang Chucai slammed his fist on the table, and said in a deep voice: "My original intention was to take the entire territory of Hedong first, and then I could compete with the Central Plains, who knew that Chen Shou was a dog thief, first used the White Lotus Sect to collude with the Yuan family in Baibo Valley, so that there was a nail on the side of my heart." Then he took advantage of the chaos to recruit troops and occupied many fortresses, and now he is pressing step by step, and he doesn't give me a day to run Hedong at all. ”
"Don't hesitate, the day Li Xinjun arrives is when Hedong is completely plunged into war."
Jiang Chucai sighed and said: "Then our Longmen Mountain will completely lose its moral foundation." ”
"Wait until the future, sell the White Lotus Sect and drive the Mongols out."
Jiang Chucai didn't refute, but secretly said in his heart, how easy is it to talk about...
