Chapter 199 is fateless
No matter ancient or modern, the wine table will always be a place for chatting and discussion, and what to eat is silent! That's all in your own home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After three times of wine and five flavors, the two old men began to discuss Cai Ji's business behavior, and Zhao Zhen asked strangely: "Could it be that Cai Ji's actions are illegal?" ”
His words suddenly made Ouyang Ye and Cai Qi speechless.
Oh, yes! This Cai Ji did not violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, nor did he do anything to harm others and benefit himself, but did a lot of good deeds to build bridges and pave the way for the benefit of the country and the people.
The two old men both fixed their eyes on how much money Cai Ji earned, which was the directional thinking of the literati.
It was the common view of the literati that merchants valued profits.
Ouyang Xiu frowned and said: "Brother Xian's words are quite reasonable, but Brother Xian has not thought about it, if all walks of life are his Cai Ji family, what about other merchants?" ”
Wu Daguan smiled: "What's this, people pay a lot of taxes!" The monthly tax is as high as 30% of the business tax of Sijing! If the imperial court cracks down on Cai Ji, what will be the consequences? ”
Zhao Zhen listened quietly on the side without saying a word, but he didn't expect that this Wu official was not an idle person, not only did he see Cai Ji's chain development so clearly, but he even knew how much Cai Ji's taxes were, and Zhao Zhen even began to suspect that this person was Cai Ji's person.
Sure enough, Wu Daguan smiled and said: "Actually, I also make money with Cai Ji, no matter how big Cai Ji is, he needs someone to help him, can't he conjure up melons, fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish by himself, right?" Cai Kee doesn't have a cloth where to cut gorgeous ready-to-wear clothes? How can there be so many daily uses for sale without craftsmen? ”
Wu's words made Ouyang Xiu nod: "That's right, Cai Ji also provided an opportunity for many people in the Great Song Dynasty to eat. ”
"I'll just say this to my little nephew, this Cai Ji's salary is very high, and it is only a dozen yuan a day to work in other people's homes, and Cai Ji is calculated on a monthly basis, and it can be given from one to five times a month!"
Wu Daguan's words surprised the people at the table, including Zhao Zhen, who didn't expect Cai Ji to be so generous!
The wages alone are so much, so how much money does it have to earn every day?!
To be honest, even Zhao Zhen himself is not very clear.
Da Song has no branches, and there are no complicated procedures to handle, which makes Cai Kee's chain development enter a viral outbreak state, and quickly encroach on the market in various state capitals.
Monopoly capital slowly began to form, which was completely caused by the business environment of the Great Song Dynasty, fortunately, Cai Ji was in his own hands, if this was someone else's industry, Zhao Zhen, an official, would have trouble sleeping.
Sure enough, Wu Daguan showed a mysterious expression and said under Ouyang Xiu's questioning: "Actually, Cai Ji's owner, Cai Boyu, is just a puppet in the hands of the official family, and the real owner should be the son of heaven of our Great Song Dynasty." ”
Ouyang Ye and Cai Qi's faces changed: "Wu Daguan's matter can't be said at will, the official family is the supreme of the Ninth Five, the head of all the people, how can he run Cai Ji and compete with the people for profit!" ”
Wu Daguan consciously broke his word, the two old men in front of him were officials, wouldn't it be ugly to say such things in front of them? Hurriedly smiled: "This is also what I heard from the market, hearsay is not true!" ”
But Ouyang Xiu nodded again and again: "If it is said that it is related to the official family, it should be, such a huge industry, without the help of the official family, there will never be the current atmosphere." Uncle Wu's news should be right, just imagine, what would happen if such a huge industry was not in the hands of the officials? ”
Ouyang Xiu's words made all the people at the table fall into deep thought, and the two old men's faces changed drastically and glanced at each other, and they actually sweated in the cold.
At this time, Wu Daguan spoke: "If it weren't for the convenience of the official family, I'm afraid this Cai Ji would have been wiped out long ago!" ”
Unexpectedly, no matter how far-sighted this Wu Daguan is, he can still analyze political science in business by drawing inferences, but he is a rare business genius.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the wine table was a little wrong, Wu Daguan opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Eat first, I'll come when I go!" ”
His departure made Ouyang Xiu's face red, and he didn't need to ask to know that he was asking about the little lady's attitude.
Ouyang Ye saw his nephew's appearance like this and said, "Even if the little lady of the Wu family likes you, my uncle will not propose marriage for you now!" ”
Cai Qi nodded slightly, "What Rihua said is." ”
Ouyang Xiu stood up with a blushing face and said: "Uncle Xiu'er taught me that Xiu'er will not coerce each other with kindness, next year will be the year of the imperial examination, and Xiu'er will wait until after high school to come to the Wu family to propose marriage!" ”
Ouyang Ye and Cai Qi glanced at each other and laughed: "Sure enough, it is the descendant of the Ouyang family, this is the polite and polite words, since this is the case, I will make a two-year appointment for you with this old face!" ”
"Thank you, uncle! Please also ask Uncle Cai to be a witness! Ouyang Xiu gave a cheerful salute.
Cai Qi stretched out his hand and nodded at Ouyang Xiu and said, "You kid has a lot of ambitions, and by the way, you have all wiped out our two old guys." After speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Can this little brother also be willing to be a witness?" ”
Zhao Zhen picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "There are two elders, so you don't need the kid to prove it, right?" ”
Ouyang Xiu pretended to be angry and said: "You and I have talked very happily along the way, even if we are confidants, it is not an exaggeration!" For the brother's matter, the virtuous brother can't prove it?! ”
Seeing Ouyang Xiu's anxious appearance, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Then I ...... It's really mine, and I prove it for you. ”
The two old men saw that their identities were extraordinary before they let themselves prove it, how could Zhao Zhen not know? This is a ploy to make a mistake with yourself! Who said that a humble gentleman of letters would not resort to petty means? These two old foxes are very six!
Wu Daguan went for a long time before coming back, and asked with embarrassment on his face, "Can this little brother take a step to speak?" ”
The people at the table looked at Zhao Zhen strangely, why did this Wu official change his face after he came back? Ouyang Xiu's face immediately turned pale, he thought of everything, but he didn't expect that the little lady of the Wu family would fall in love with Zhao Zhen, who was traveling with him!
Zhao Zhen saw Ouyang Xiu's expression of disgrace and said to Wu Daguan with a bitter smile: "Oh, Wu Daguan, please!" ”
Wu Cai led Zhao Zhen into the back hall, stretched out his hand to the side of the case, and said, "Son, please keep your eyes on it." ”
On the case is a painting pressed under the paperweight, not Zhao Zhen and who it is, leaving Juanxiu's small words on the side of the painting:
The beauty is like a crown of jade, and the words of the horse are like pearls.
The splendid heart can be faced, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful and abundant.
Chen Simiao's sentences should be in a literary tone, and Wei Jueyi's tolerance is appropriate.
Who can solve a romantic relationship, can pick a girl to get drunk with Xi Shi.
Zhao Zhen froze in place, what the hell is this?! Is he so popular and loves flowers to bloom?
The bloody plot came so suddenly, Zhao Zhen turned his head to Wu Cai, who was bitter, and said, "Is your little lady willing to be a concubine?" ”
Wu Cai's face changed and he said angrily: "How can this happen?!" My Wu family is also a rich family, although I can't marry my son as a wife, but I won't be that inferior person in vain! ”
Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but looked at him with a smile, and then Wu understood what Zhao Zhen meant, "The son has a marriage contract, why don't you say it earlier!" Plainly let me misunderstand, I really shouldn't have been! Come on, come and drink with me in the flower hall! ”
In fact, Zhao Zhen's words made Wu Cai breathe a sigh of relief, he was already optimistic about Ouyang Xiu, how could he not see Zhao Zhen's bearing after many years of messing around in the shopping mall, at first glance, it was not comparable to other idlers, such a person's own daughter could not afford to climb.
"You Wu official don't know how to do things, you were supposed to tell my brother about it, why are you talking to me about business?!"
Zhao Zhen walked from the back hall angrily and shook his cuffs to complain, Wu Cai instantly understood Zhao Zhen's thoughts and hurriedly apologized: "Childe is not from Tokyo City!" Look at your dress, you must know the people in the dental industry, the little old man thinks badly, how about punishing yourself three cups for offending? ”
"That's it, my brother loves the little lady, and now he makes a grand wish, and he will come to marry in high school next year, and you can give me a word soon!"
Ouyang Xiu saw that Zhao Zhen and Wu Daguan were going to discuss the matter of the sale, and immediately calmed down, and said with a ruddy face: "Brother Xian, don't say it, shame me!" ”
Wu Cai said to Ouyang Ye and Cai Qi at the top: "This is a good thing!" If the virtuous nephew can be named on the gold list, I will also save the list to catch my son-in-law, haha! ”
The wine table began to become lively again, but the hall behind the flower hall was a different scene.
The little lady of the Wu family looked at her paintings and wept secretly, the tears dripped on the painting paper and slowly smudged, and the originally chic and elegant flying white became a blurred handwriting: beautiful woman, but there is no fate......
