Li Sanjian opened his mouth and wanted to lend 100,000 yuan of money and 50,000 stones of grain from the Chen family in Quanzhou, which made Chen Guangbi's eldest son Chen Yide in a dilemma.

Lend it to him with all his might, but Chen Yide is worried that it is a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return, if he does not lend it to him, then Li Sanjian can rely on his power to suppress Chen's business in many ways, making it more and more difficult to do business.

After weighing the pros and cons and thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yide was still ready to reject Li Sanjian's debt.

The Chen family's business spread all over the Song Dynasty, even if Li Sanjian held a grudge and suppressed the Chen family's business in Quanzhou, the business in other places could also be supported, and Li Sanjian's hand could not be stretched so long.

The most important thing is that the Chen family of businessmen, who have been in business for many years, have more or less some relationship with the imperial court or local government, and the Chen family even has people who are officials in the imperial court, although they are not high-ranking officials like the imperial court and the executive, but Li Sanjian wants to take the opportunity to take revenge and do whatever he wants, and the Chen family is not without means of counterattack.

Therefore, Chen Yide was still ready to refuse Li Sanjian's move to borrow money and grain, but although Chen Yide had only been in contact with Li Sanjian twice, he also knew that Li Sanjian was a thoughtful person and an extremely smart person.

Of course, Chen Yide's sponsorship of Li Sanjian's study is also for this reason, and I have to say that Chen Yide's vision still has its own uniqueness.

Planning ahead is the least a businessman should have.

At this time, Li Sanjian is far from being comparable to the half-sized son of the year, at this time Li Sanjian is a local member of the imperial court and the respect of Quanzhou, so Li Sanjian came to visit in person today, he must be prepared, and he must not give up until he achieves his goal.

If it is hard to top at this time, then the Chen family may really suffer a big loss, Chen Yide thought again.

So Chen Yide thought about it for a long time, and said to Li Sanjian, who was slowly drinking green phoenix marrow: "What Li Zhizhou said is that with so much money and food, maybe my Chen family will not go bankrupt, but it must be a hard effort, and the old man's words are not false." What the old man wants to say today is that my Chen family took out money and grain to lend Li Zhizhou to you, so what can my Chen family get? Or can you Li Zhizhou have a guarantee? Guarantee that your Quanzhou official office can be returned in full as scheduled. ”

"Okay, Chen Gong's words are enough to show Chen Gong's sincerity." Li Sanjian said happily when he heard this: "Today, since I Li dare to borrow money, of course there is a mortgage, Li is the governor of Quanzhou, and I can tell you today that my Quanzhou Prefecture can use the wine as collateral, if you can't return the borrowed things as scheduled, then how about allowing you Chen's wine for a year?" ”

"Wine... Chen Yide groaned when he heard this.

The so-called liquor is the monopoly of production and sales by the imperial court, and the price or profit of liquor can be set higher, on the one hand, it can obtain high income, and on the other hand, it can also be used to regulate the production and sales of liquor

The main form or way of Song Zhirong liquor is that the large and medium-sized cities, that is, the cities of Zhuzhou, set up liquor affairs to implement official brewing and official sales, and implement complete monopoly; The vast number of villages, that is, counties, towns and townships, allow the people to brew and sell, and implement incomplete monopoly.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, it was not that if you wanted to make wine and sell wine, you could make wine and sell wine, or the wine merchants bought koji and made wine from the quyuan of each state capital, and the government monopolized the making of koji, and did not prohibit the people from making wine and selling it, which is called Yongqu.

Either the government simply implements the official policy, or the government liquor business makes koji and makes wine, and the wine merchants can only wholesale and retail the liquor from the liquor business, which is called the official liquor.

In addition, there are also "buy-po" and "licensed sake merchants" and so on.

The so-called "buying" means that the sake brewers accept the management rights of various breweries and tax farms of the government in the form of bidding, and collect tax money.

If the profit of the "buyer" is less than the money, then he will lose money, and when the "buyer" loses money, he will often go bankrupt, the main reason is that if there is a year of famine or the trade route is blocked, then the government will have no family property to offset the "money", so that he will go bankrupt.

However, if the liquor business "buys" and runs well, it will also get a lot of income.

At this time, Li Sanjian borrowed Chen's money and grain with Quanzhou wine as collateral, which can be said to be quite sincere.

You must know that the system of liquor in the imperial court is not something that you can decide in Quanzhou Zhizhou, and it is a violation of the imperial court system to use liquor as collateral to raise debts, and if it is known, Li Sanjian may be impeached again.

It's just that Li Sanjian held the "Shangfang Sword" at this time, and he had already been personally promised by Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty that Li Sanjian could decide all the affairs of Quanzhou, so Li Sanjian dared to take out Quanzhou wine as collateral, so as to borrow money and grain to help the victims.

"You can decide on Quanzhou wine?" Chen Yide asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes!" Li Sanjian nodded without hesitation and said: "This official is ordered and has the right to deal with it immediately." ”

"What? The right to dispense with the situation?" Chen Yide was surprised when he heard this. Baidu

People say that Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty favored Li Sanjian, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, Chen Yide secretly said in his heart, the right to be executed at the moment is not something that anyone can get, and non-favored ministers and confidants cannot get it.

"Exactly!" Li Sanjian nodded.

"Congratulations to Li Zhizhou!"

Just when Li Sanjian thought that this matter should be about the same, he didn't expect Chen Yide to say again: "At this time, Quanzhou has frequent floods and trade routes are blocked, so a year's worth of wine is far from enough!" ”

Damn, what a fucking profiteer, Li Sanjian scolded secretly in his heart when he heard this, a year's liquor is operated by the government liquor business, and it may not be worth 100,000 yuan and 50,000 stone grains, but your Chen family can recoup at least half of it if you manage it well for a year, right?

Moreover, even if the Quanzhou Prefecture Government is unable to return the borrowed money and grain on time, it will not fail to repay the debt, right? After a few years of postponing the return, will you Chen still lose money? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

However, Li Sanjian also understands that businessmen are profit-seeking, especially people like Chen Yide, who have been in business for generations, and they put interests first, and they will not make a move unless they are several times or even dozens of times the profit.

Chen Yide is still hesitating, Li Sanjian is not in a hurry, although the disaster is like fire at this time, but it is not in a hurry at this time, it is said that this kind of thing is not in a hurry.

So Li Sanjian simply cocked Erlang's leg, shook his right leg gently, looked at Chen Yide and said with a smile: "As far as Li knows, the Chen family mainly deals at sea, right?" Chen Gong, the main goods of your Chen family are in Quanzhou, right? ”

At this time, Chen Yide was nothing more than bargaining, so he would raise the price a little more, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"You... I... As soon as Li Sanjian said this, Chen Yide was not only happy, but a little annoyed in his heart.

Li Sanjian has two meanings in this statement, if Chen Yide takes out the money and grain, then Li Sanjian, who is promoted by the Quanzhou City Bo Division, will definitely take more care of it for the sake of Chen's borrowing of grain, if Chen Yide is not so happy, then the Quanzhou City Bo Si will not be so happy.

Chen Yide is old in the rivers and lakes, how can he not hear the meaning of Li Sanjian's words?

Chen Yide originally wanted to use the words that you Li Sanjian can't cover the sky with one hand and can't do whatever you want, but when Chen Yide said this, he officially turned his face with Li Sanjian, although Chen was not afraid, but it was a little inappropriate to turn his face at this time.

"Chen Gong!" Li Sanjian then said with a smile: "There is a way to make money, and we should take righteousness as profit, not profit." Take righteousness as profit, seek righteousness and avoid wealth. Profit by righteousness, prosperity and prosperity, sacrifice righteousness for profit, righteousness and profit are lost. If the Chen family takes out money and food to help the victims this time, this is a great righteousness, and it will definitely bring unexpected wealth to your Chen family, and Chen Gong will not understand the subtlety, right? ”

"Li Zhizhou, it's a pity that you don't do business." Chen Yide glanced at Li Sanjian and said, "Since Li Zhizhou's words have come to this, the old man has nothing to say. However, Li Zhizhou, this matter is too big, Chen really can't make the decision, wait for Chen to go back to discuss with the clansmen, and then go back to Li Zhizhou, how about it? ”

The patriarch of the Chen family is Chen Guangbi, the father of Chen Yide, no matter what, Chen Yide must first tell his father about the matter, and then the old father will convene the clan to discuss the matter.

At the same time, the matter of the Quanzhou Prefecture government borrowing money and grain is indeed very important, so Chen Yide also has the intention of delaying, first dragging Li Sanjian to see how he reacts, and then making a decision as appropriate.

"There's no need to discuss, Yide, you will go tomorrow to prepare money and food, and take them to the state government as soon as possible." At this moment, when Li Sanjian was secretly annoyed, a slightly old but relatively loud voice came into the ears of Chen Yide and Li Sanjian.

"Daddy, you... This is... What do you mean? Chen Yide turned his head and saw his old father Chen Guangbi walking in, and hurriedly went over to help him.

Although Chen Guangbi is over the age of old, his beard and hair are white, but his body is relatively tough, his voice is relatively loud, and his crane hair is childish.

"Thank you, Mrs. Chen!" Li Sanjian didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, Chen Guangbi's words Li Sanjian heard it clearly, so he hurriedly thanked him.

"Li Zhizhou doesn't have to be like this, since the old man said it, there is no reason to regret it." Chen Guangbi waved his hand and said: "The old ancestor created the 'Shecang', which is to know the truth that 'the family of accumulating goodness must have afterglow, and the house of accumulating unkindness must have aftermath', so he created this family business. The old decay ancestor is like this, does the old decay dare not obey? ”

Li Sanjian's face flushed slightly when he heard this, and he arched his hand again and again: "The Chen family is full of righteous people, and Li is deeply admired!" ”

It's okay, today's matter is finally done, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Li Zhizhou, please take a seat." Chen Guangbi first invited Li Sanjian to sit down, and then sat on Li Sanjian's side and said: "However, although my Chen family has surplus wealth, it is not blown by the wind, so the old man also has one thing to ask for, I don't know if Li Zhizhou should do it?" ”
