Chapter 973: Two Birds with One Stone
Once the Zhengshuo Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty is over, all the officials will return to their official offices to run errands, if it is not for the emperor's performance, the general officials have no chance to stay in the performance, only the ministers of the two governments can apply to stay in the affairs, but the ministers of the two governments are shrewd!
They have long seen that something is wrong with Bao Zheng and the official family, especially Bao Zheng, this three-division envoy who abides by the rules and is not flexible, has always acted according to the rules, even the third division does not have much open source in his hands, and all the open source methods are still thought up by Cai Boyu, a concubine, but when it comes to throttling, he Bao Zheng is really an "iron rooster"!
Since even he was able to agree to the government's will to allocate grain from the state's stockpiles to increase the grain in the field, it was obvious that there must be a reason for this, and it was impossible to say that he had already obtained the secret decree of the government......
In this way, naturally there is no Xiang Guild to ask, just wait and see what happens, and this time the Liao envoy Yelujia is afraid that he will not get any benefits, and the grain selling field seems to have solved the urgent needs of the Liao people, but the price is ...... I'm afraid it won't be cheap!
"Bao Xianggong! The price...... The price ......"
There was a scream of disbelief from the yamen of the three divisions, Bao Zheng glanced at Yelujia and then looked at the account book in front of him and frowned: "What's wrong!" Why does the old man look reasonable? ”
"A thousand texts! That's a lot of money! ”
Bao Zheng smiled, he didn't expect that this Yelujia had lived in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and even his accent had changed, and he ...... also knew that Xing Mo: "You miscalculated, Xing Mo has long been abolished in my Great Song Dynasty, and one thousand Wen is just the same money, otherwise how can there be a grain price of eight hundred Wen and one stone?" ”
Yeluja paused for a moment, and then swallowed dryly: "But this has always been too expensive for one stone of grain, I need five thousand yuan to buy five thousand stone of grain in Da Liao, and one hundred thousand stone of grain is a full one hundred thousand!" It's not ...... It's not ...... Is it more expensive than gold?! ”
Bao Zheng's eyes widened and looked at Yelujia: "The Liao envoy laughed, if your Liao Dynasty has a consistent amount of gold and one stone, how much will I want in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Cai Boyu behind the screen covered his mouth and smiled, when did Bao Zheng, the old man, become so interesting? This joke really makes Jeruja angry! It's always only a thousand dollars, how can you exchange it for one stone of gold?
Yelujia looked at Bao Zheng's serious appearance and really didn't know how to answer, he was just a metaphor, who would have thought that Bao Zheng would be so serious?
"This is an analogy, not that."
"Liao makes this a mistake, and the addition of grain in the field is a state affair between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and it is also a major event related to the people, how can it be a child's play, your analogy is inappropriate, well, indecent!"
"Ben was wrong! Please also ask for forgiveness for your sins............ However, does this thousand-run include the use of carriages and horses? ”
Bao Zheng raised his eyelids and asked strangely, "What kind of carriage and horse?" ”
"The price of grain and grass in the Great Song Dynasty is so high, I recognize it, but can I ask the Great Song Dynasty to transport the grain and grass to Zhongjing Road? It's great value for money. ”
Bao Zheng frowned and said: "This is absolutely impossible, your Liao Dynasty needs a huge amount of food, if you want me to transport it in the Great Song Dynasty, then whose consumption on the road is it?" The more food, the more you consume......"
"Of course it's our Great Song!"
Cai Boyu turned out from behind the screen, looked at the surprised Bao Zheng and the slightly happy Yelujia and said: "Although Song and Liao are brothers, it is a matter of course to help each other. ”
Yelujia retorted: "Others don't know, but the envoy knows that this grain trade came to the Great Song Dynasty, and the person who transported the grain was naturally an official camp like you Cai Ji, if the envoy is not mistaken, you Cai Ji also has dry food in the army, right?" In this way, there is no need to consume much of the food sold, if not, you can quote the number, and you can say how much it is worth! ”
Cai Boyu thought for a while and said: "The official family once said to me that doing business should be a business, and you should consider the problem from the perspective of the guests, otherwise people will not buy your things next time, your Liao Dynasty transportation is really inconvenient, and my Da Song car is exquisite, and the endurance of the horses is amazing...... That's it! I, Cai Boyu, will answer you! Consistently money a stone of grain! ”
"Stand for it!"
"A covenant is a covenant!"
Bao Zheng wanted to speak several times on the side, but he didn't speak because of his old-fashioned personality, but when he saw that he was about to sign the contract now, he grabbed Cai Boyu and said: "Is this proper, my Da Song will lose some money and food in vain!" ”
Cai Boyu looked at Yelujia and said, "I don't want to, but we don't want to do it for a long time, we can't do this deal, and then we don't do other deals, right?" ”
It seems to be a small voice, but Yelujia heard it clearly, and looked at Cai Boyu's eyes slightly friendly, as a businessman, Jia can put the guests first, think about the guests everywhere, and deserve him Cai Boyu to make money!
Merely...... Da Liao will not become a big boss again! There will never be a next time!
"Cai Juma is really a genius of businessmen, and everyone in the world thinks that businessmen are trying to make money from guests, but you still have the courage to make money! Under the admiration! ”
Cai Boyu blushed a little and said: "I don't deserve such praise from the noble envoy, Jing Fan is just a profit-seeking businessman, I just hope that the battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty will get better and better!" ”
Bao Zheng skimmed Cai Boyu and didn't say a word, obviously he knew that what he said would not make Cai Boyu change his mind, and Cai Boyu's words did have some truth.
After Yelujia left, Bao Zheng pointed at Cai Boyu and said, "What should I do with the money and food that has been posted in this way?" ”
Cai Boyu laughed: "Of course it's a bad debt!" But our Da Song has made a big deal this time, and you and I may soon be rewarded by the officials! Very good, very good! ”
Bao Zheng looked at Cai Boyu inexplicably, and he was stunned before he said, "Aren't you crazy?" How will the government reward you and me? ”
"Since the Liao Dynasty deepened its guard against my Great Song Dynasty, it has become more and more difficult for my Great Song Dynasty spies to reach the Liao Dynasty, and although the merchants can have their own access, they are businessmen after all, and it is okay to collect some humanistic interesting things, which can be mapped and mapped, marked mountains and rivers, etc., which must be carried out by people in the army, and this is the opportunity for me to explore the reality of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Seeing that Bao Zheng nodded thoughtfully, Cai Boyu said again: "Old man, do you know that this food consumption is measured, and by leaving how much grain there is, my Great Song Dynasty can calculate the number of people here in the Liao Dynasty, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" ”
Bao Zheng finally couldn't help but smile this time: "Okay, you Cai Boyu, you just deceived even the old man, and what did you say for the sake of the guests, what you said almost made the old man think that the businessmen were really benevolent Confucian businessmen!" ”
Cai Boyu shook his head and said: "My words are right, if you want to make money, you can only do this." ”
"Then didn't you smash our big Song business?"
"Do you think the Liao Dynasty will buy grain from my Great Song Dynasty next year?"
