Chapter Ninety-Seven: The End
"Five thousand horses are absolutely impossible, I have said that five thousand horses in Western Xia no one except the king can guarantee the trade, you just threaten me again, it is useless, I don't have that ability." Breaking the ugly and meeting you again, you spread your hands and said.
Lu Zifei said: "I didn't let you trade so much with us at one time, you can trade in batches, you have a lot of horse farms in the Broken Ugly Family, and there are countless horses that go out every year, five thousand horses is not a big number, and no one will find out if it is secret." ”
Po Chou Chong Yu Gui said: "Even if our Po Chou family has so many horses, why should I trade with you, and how much benefit can you bring me, the king may do what you said, but it is only possible, not 100 percent." ”
Lu Zifei took a sip of tea and said, "Weimu family, haven't you seen the fate of the Yeli family?" The next one is the Wuzang family and your ugly family, Li Yuanhao can't tolerate you at all, do you really don't want to secretly accumulate a little strength in your heart, except for horses, as long as we have what you need, we can trade it to you. ”
Breaking the ugly and meeting you again said: "It's not enough, the transaction is at least fair, your chips are not enough for us to take such a big risk, high risk and no high return, will you do it yourself?" Why did your caravan come to Western Xia to trade, wasn't it for the sake of rich returns, do you do it yourself from a different angle? ”
Lu Zifei said: "If the chips are not enough, we can talk about it again, this is not a big deal, when one day your ugly family has no place to stand in Western Xia, our Great Song Dynasty can provide you with a place to avoid trouble, this is okay, right?" The lessons of the past are there, you always have to leave a way back for the Broken Ugly Family, right? ”
Po Ugly Chong Yu Gui said: "Five thousand horses is not a small number, the lowest price of a horse and war horse is now 1,500 yuan, 5,000 horses is 7.5 million yuan, give up 500,000 yuan, and 7 million yuan, how do you want me to believe that you can take this money?" ”
Chong Shiheng trembled and said: "The matter of money, don't worry, as long as you can bring out the horses, I will be responsible for the money." ”
Breaking the ugly and meeting Gui coldly snorted and said, "You? I really don't believe you, what qualifications do you have to say that you can get such a large sum of money, seven million is a lot of money in the eyes of Fan Zhongyan, your Shaanxi pacification envoy, what do you take to make me believe you, it's purely a joke, just to do this business, I will also do it with him. ”
Breaking the ugliness and meeting the noble refers to Lu Zifei, what moved him was Lu Zifei's last condition, he was also disappointed in Li Yuanhao, the two largest families in Western Xia said to kill him, he was afraid in his heart, he wanted to leave a way back for his family, Lu Zifei's conditions were very tempting, he himself knew the Great Song Dynasty people very well, and a heavy minister like him would never do anything to you in the past, and he would give you an official knighthood, which was a victory in foreign wars for the literati of the Song Dynasty, and it was also a kind of glory.
Lu Zifei said: "Do it with me, you can, no problem, money is not a problem, just send your people to Shaanxi to see if I have that strength, to say something you don't like to hear, I can afford to pay the price of 5,000 horses just by selling wine in your Western Xia." ”
Po Chou Chongyu Gui said: "You choose to trade there, Xiping Mansion is not good, it is too close to Xingqing Mansion, in a person who makes Shi Hao the king, he said that you Han people will not choose to betray the king again." ”
Lu Zifei said: "You don't have to worry about this, your family's power is near Gansu, then we will put the location of the transaction in Xuanhua Mansion, which is acceptable to you, right?" ”
Po Chou Yu Gui said: "If you want to go to Qingtang, I can only send you to the border of Xuanhua Mansion, and I don't care about the rest." ”
Lu Zifei pointed to Dong Yu and Qingyi and said: "Let me introduce you, these two are from Qingtang, this is Dong Yu, the eldest young master of Qingtang, and the eldest son of General Ning Yuan. ”
Chong Shiheng looked at the chair unhurriedly, and Lu Zifei, who spoke slowly, sighed in his heart; Some abilities are indeed innate, when Lu Zifei told him that he could get a horse, he didn't believe it, but now he knows that he has already thought about everything, everything is just moving in the direction he expected, and a Qingtang person who meets halfway can be used by him to the fullest, and he has to convince him that he is far worse than the young man in front of him.
Dong Yu also heard the taste, he said: "Lian Song has always been our heart, we make way for the Great Song Dynasty, you also want to give us a little benefit, right?" Qingtang also had to face the attack of Western Xia. ”
Lu Zifei said: "You Qingtang and Western Xia are trying to survive in the cracks, I can't say that you have actual benefits, but I can let the caravan of the Great Song Dynasty pass through your Qingtang and go to the land of the Western Regions, so that we all get benefits, the caravan brings you materials and money, which can make your national strength go to a higher level, and more importantly, let you Qingtang people get in touch with the world's most advanced culture, so that you can make progress all the time, if you agree, go back and send people to Shaanxi, and we will talk in detail." ”
Dong Yu said: "Yes, as long as you let the caravan enter Qingtang, I can agree to the oral agreement on behalf of my father." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Okay, there's no problem, right?" If there is any problem with Lord Po Chou, tell Wu Qing and ask him to write to me, hoping that we can cooperate for a long time, and Lord Po Chou can also come to Da Song to have a visit if he has time. ”
The various thoughts of breaking the ugly and meeting the expensive are intertwined, which is a bit contradictory! But their nationalism is still not so strong, with the first time there will be a second time, this thing is similar to opium smoking, if you become addicted you will find that you can no longer quit.
Full of wine and food, everyone came to take advantage of the excitement, returned happy, each had their own harvest, each had their own plans, Lu Zifei didn't drink much wine at the wine table, he wanted to write all the things into the chapter, this is the qualifications for politics in the future, one here in Shaanxi, one in Beijing, just written almost, Chong Shiheng came in.
"Don't you go to rest so late?" Lu Zifei looked up and asked.
Chong Shiheng said: "Stinky boy, how are you going to distribute these 5,000 horses, Shaanxi is your hometown, keep a little more?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "Planting public, public is public, private is private, we have to distinguish this clearly, Ma I will help you contact, you can't let me out of the money, right?" How to distribute the horses you pay for is your own problem, and I don't care. ”
Chong Shiheng said with some sadness: "You know the situation in the imperial court, the literati will not spend so much money to buy horses, isn't this a disguised enhancement of the rights of military generals?" Fan Gong estimates that he is also more than willing but not enough, you fund us, and the generals are all good for you. ”
Lu Zifei stopped his pen and said: "Don't, don't say that, I really can't afford it, I had a bad idea last time, and now many people in the court have classified me into the ranks of military generals, I am the champion of the Donghua Gate through the ages, don't ruin me, but I can tell you who is willing to pay for you." ”
"Who? You said. ”
Lu Zifei said: "Of course it's the emperor, this year, the emperor's inner treasury must be rich, and it is estimated that he will take out seven million yuan a year without a little hesitation, you must know that sixty percent of the income from Xifeng wine has gone into the emperor's pocket, and this money is drizzle." ”
Chong Shiheng said: "The emperor's money doesn't have to think about it, even if he is willing, the ministers are not willing, take money from the inner treasury to buy horses, whether it is to help the disaster victims, and it is okay to pay salaries to the ministers, and the emperor is not good." ”
Lu Zifei rolled his eyes and said: "If you want me to pay, it's not difficult, the trading house already has the three components of the border army and the yamen, and there is also a three-million-yuan every year, and you give me goods worth three million, salt, sugar, cloth, porcelain, etc., you can all trade with me in this way, right?" ”
Chong Shiheng said: "You don't lose a way, and the goods of three million guan are not so easy to gather." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Gong, you are not in a hurry for the emperor and the eunuch, you go back and tell Lord Fan, he naturally has a way, Lord Han dreams of a shame, he is more anxious than you, the sky is falling from a high top, do you say yes." ”
Chong Shiheng left, Lu Zifei couldn't sleep and called Wu Qing and Bu Su in, Wu Qing said, "Zifei asked us to come over for something?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "How about the income of the commercial bank these few times, have you calculated the accounts?" ”
Bu Su said: "The profit every time is about one million, mainly because there are too many cattle and sheep traded back, and the backlog is not a matter in our hands, so our liquidity will be very small." ”
Lu Zifei said: "The copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty were originally very scarce, most of them were still in the hands of those families, and the imperial court used silk and cloth to give officials a lot of money, and now a small number of them are also, so you must pay attention to the places where there are copper mines and silver mines outside, we will mine them ourselves when we have the opportunity, and we can't give up the business, and if the cattle and sheep can't be killed, they can sell meat." ”
Wu Qing said: "In this case, our losses will be very large, I mean Henan, Hebei and Chengdu have not experienced war, the peasants are relatively rich, and Shaanxi can give them to them, just as they help us raise." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Uncle Wu's method is very good, you feel that the reasonable method will be practiced, don't wait for me to make a decision, immediately say that this year, Uncle Wu, you hand over the business of Xixia to Brother Bu, your task this year is the two directions of Liaoguo and Qingtang, that is, the business is not done first, the road must be opened, if the court opens a mutual market, our opportunities will be equal to others, and the profits will be thinner when there are more people, and the opportunity must be held in our hands." ”
Wu Qing said: "Okay, I'll plan when I go back, don't work too hard, it's going to be the New Year soon." ”
"It's the New Year! Time is really fast. ”
