The merchants of the Song Dynasty were happy, because the traditional policy of "heavy agriculture and suppressing business" began to loosen from the Song Dynasty and became "heavy agriculture and light business".

Although his social and political status is still not high, he can improve his status by marrying high-ranking officials and nobles, and even marry princesses, county lords, and county lords, the daughters of the emperor's family, which is nothing more than spending more money.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty are also pitiful, even if they are rich, they will still be looked down upon, like a fat sheep, and then they will be kicked away after the master's wool, and you can only endure it, not only endure but also have to work hard to eat grass, if you slack off a little will be singled out and killed by a knife to entertain guests, alas, pitiful.

What do businessmen lack most? Lack of rights, but the policy is not given, there is no way but to buy, and it costs a lot of money to buy "status", so the richer the businessman, the more short of money.

In order to make money, the two feet of the merchant can go to the desert of the thirsty man, the plateau where he can breathe, the primeval forest that is inaccessible and the unfathomable sea, where even the enemy countries that are at war dare to go.

The merchant is greedy, everything is about profit, and with three times the profit, he dares to take risks.

If someone tells him that there is a gold ingot the size of two cities in front of him, and he doesn't have to lose his life, and he can be appreciated by the nobles, and he can comfortably make money, ask him if he will come?

Half of the businessmen would just nod their heads and go.

The other half of the businessmen will turn their brains and ask, "Let me go if you complete the conditions".

The dog didn't finish a cup of tea and watched the businessman in front of him change from discussing "selling goods and evacuating immediately" to "how to get through the path of appeasement".

Cough!

The dog coughed, raised his head and looked around, before he said to the three stewards in the middle: "How to go about the relationship?" Does this need to be asked? The obvious opportunity is here, can't you see it? ”

The room full of merchants fell silent.

The dog frowned and said, "Do you think that Wu Dashuai will lose the battle and let everyone lose everything?" ”

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads and said, "How is it possible, Wu Dashuai is like a rock, how can he lose!" ”

The dog wondered, "Then what are you hesitating about?" ”

cough, Lu San next to him asked.

"Dog, are you sure that as long as we donate these goods to him, then Marshal Wu will allow us to undertake the errand of building the two cities?"

The dog pouted, when did he set up a sleeve for people to drill, is the master so stupid?

"Lu Sanye, the kid is just a messenger, I don't have one or two goods in the whole caravan, it's all your own masters, the big guys are all from Longzhou, the kid found this opportunity and said to everyone, I don't know if it is successful or not, just take it as a gamble, if you lose the bet, you will paste the capital of this first trip into it, and if you win the bet, you can earn gold ingots with peace of mind."

"Boy, remind me again, this opportunity is like fireworks, fleeting, you should make a decision earlier, and if this war stops, the next thing is for the displaced people to return to their hometowns, and the local and foreign businesses will rush in, and you will start to compete with them, if you want to make two sums of money and leave, or the birds occupy the dove's nest, you have to think carefully!"

Those who can sit here can be said to be the top businessmen in Longzhou, and their thinking and determination are not low, and the dog only thought about what to eat for lunch, and these people have already begun to argue about how much money each family will pay.

"Ahem, dog, how much do you think we should pay? Do you want to ask those two officials? ”

Just now, he shouted that the three stewards who let Tong judge spank his ass, and now he is full of praise for the cleverness and intelligence of the dog, and the young hero.

Although what he said was true, it still gave me goosebumps in my ears.

"Cough, that third master, how much money do they ask you to raise?"

The third steward stretched out three fingers and said, "Thirty thousand taels!" ”

The dog turned his head and asked everyone: "What is the cost of the goods this time, and how much is the profit?" ”

There are a total of twenty-eight, and the total of them came together and said: "The capital is twenty or thirty thousand, and the profit is estimated to be fifteen or six, and if you go to the territory again, it is estimated that it can reach twenty thousand yuan." ”

Gou'er said: "The two of them need at least 10,000 yuan to buy medicinal herbs and hire Langzhong!" In other words, 40,000 yuan of money is needed, and I heard that there are 100,000 yuan of army silver apportioned by my Longzhou this year? ”

Lu San, who was on the side, added: "There are still 200,000 loads of grain and grass, and a lot of money is needed. ”

"Lizhou West Road is a total of eight states, right? So calculated that the sum of the silver for each state is 800,000? ”

"No," a fat man next to him waved his hand and interrupted: "My family once said that Fengzhou has been disabled in the past two years, and after this peace negotiation, the imperial court has exempted them from taxes, and the money for the army will not be received from them!" ”

"Yes, yes," said the tall and thin shopkeeper next to him: "My family also said that they joined the army, and it is estimated that Shui and Xihe Prefecture will also be exempt from tax this day!" ”

The dog sighed, and the third steward stroked his beard and asked, "Dog, are you calculating how much military expenses can be collected in this army?" ”

The dog nodded, and the third steward said with a smile: "If you don't ask me earlier, it's a total of 550,000 guan, 50,000 guan from Xihe Prefecture, and 100,000 guan from other states, but this amount is an amount after all, and it would be good if the actual collection could reach half!" ”

The dog was stunned for a moment, and clearly remembered that Youchuan County was 20,000 yuan, which was given in ten years, 2,000 yuan per year, and the county government was responsible for half of it.

"Three stewards, what about the remaining half?"

"Then who knows, this battle has already been conquered anyway, and we will have to wait for the next battle!"

The dog sighed, well, it's good to be an official.

"In this way, it is already good to be able to levy 300,000 yuan!"

The crowd nodded.

"The government affairs of the Yamen are only half completed, and the kid thinks that if we make up the remaining half, well, 50,000 yuan, presumably Wu Dashuai will definitely take a look at it!"

As soon as the words fell, a short shopkeeper in the crowd said: "But, after all, this money is the government affairs of the yamen, as the saying goes, there is a clear distinction between public and private, and we helped them bear it, so what is it?" ”

The dog arched his hand and said, "This uncle, who said that we are going to help the yamen take on official duties?" ”

"Hey, didn't you just say that?"

The dog smiled and said, "What I'm talking about is for ourselves, Ao, that is, the merchants who are willing to pay!" ”

"Dog, you mean everyone is forming a business?"

The third steward guessed the intention after a little thought.

Gou'er nodded: "Yes, let's set up a business and donate in the name of the business, as the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, everyone gets together, and it can be smoother to do business in Xihe Prefecture, isn't it?" ”

"What's that name?"

The dog suggested: "Mighty and domineering invincible business name alliance!" ”

"What a bullshit name, it's better to be called Longzhou Firm!"

The man next to him said: "No, no, what if the locals don't recognize me in Longzhou?" ”

"Why don't they recognize the city we built for them?"

"Someone will sow discord!"

……

After a lot of muttering, he finally chose the "Lizhou West Road Business Alliance".

The matter was so decided, the twenty-eight families present had a total of 50,000 yuan of silver, and this trip was exactly 50,000 yuan with interest, and they signed a contract on the spot, and then wrote back to the backers behind them to talk about this matter.

As one of the initiators, the dog said before he came that it was a part of the trip, which was not a percent of 50,000 yuan, but a percent of conservative profits, that is, a percent of 10,000 yuan, a thousand percent.

and then re-integrated into the business alliance with half of the shares, that is, the dog didn't get a penny this time.

The angry dog can't do it, he said that he would give money, why don't you have a penny? And there was no money to sell the medicinal materials to the people, the dog didn't do it, and he didn't want to run errands, so everyone persuaded him well, and after giving one or two silver errands, the dog reluctantly agreed.

Twenty-eight silver ingots of all kinds were filled in the money bag, and my heart was full of comfort.

In a good mood, the dog went to eat chaos on the street, he had never dared to eat minced meat before, but this time he asked for two in one go, and he also ordered a plate of elbow flowers that were sold next door.

After eating and drinking, this Hatcher began to fight non-stop, sleepy in spring and lack of autumn and napping in summer, plus he was growing taller, he patted his head and shouted, went home to sleep, and walked to the barracks with his legs.

I slept until dawn, and when I finished drinking, I went back to the barracks to continue sleeping, and bought a lot of chewing miles, so I didn't go to the room to eat thin corn porridge that could shine on people's shadows.

Eat and sleep, sleep and eat for a while for another day, seeing that the sky is late again, the dog always feels that he has forgotten one thing before soaking his feet and going to bed.

Wow......

The dog cagged his ears hard.

Bang Bang Bang ......

After knocking on the last watch in the morning, the watchman can go home to sleep, so his strength is not ordinary.

"Straight sissy thief!" The dog lifted the quilt and sat up straight, why did he wake up so early today? I always feel like something bad is going to happen, but this is in the city? It was impossible for Jin Bing to run again, so he lay down again, sighing, it is estimated that he has slept a little too much in the past two days!

The young man never sleeps enough, and after lying down for a while, he snores and falls asleep, just after the dog has just fallen asleep with a pillar of incense.

Two bearded, bloodshot blue-eyed men anxiously came to the barracks with whips.

"Get the hell out of here!"

A whip roared, and the dog fell to the ground in fright.

I thought it was a gold thief who killed it, but when I rubbed my eyes, it turned out to be these two masters, and I saw that the two of them were not at all the usual gentlemen with a polite appearance.

"Two masters, it's not too early in the morning to get old, why are you calling the kid?"

The dog arched his hands lazily and said perfunctory.

I didn't want to be picked up directly by the old man Zhou, the old man's thin body didn't expect to have such a lot of strength, and the shaking dog was dizzy.

"Master Zhou, what do you command, you say, don't shake it, the kid is going to vomit!"

Old man Zhou yelled angrily at the dog: "Where's the money? ”

The dog was stunned, "What money?" ”

Commander Liu, who was next to him, explained in a hoarse voice: "It's the money that the businessmen lent us to buy medicine!" ”

Oops, the dog patted his head hard, he slept in the past two days, and he actually forgot about this stubble, and hurriedly hugged his fists and laughed: "Two masters, this and this, I overslept, I forgot to tell you, let the boy come down and tell you." ”

In this way, the dog told the matter again in high spirits, and when he heard that the merchants had donated 50,000 yuan of silver, the two of them were happy.

Then he generously let go of the dog's left half of the buttocks, and the dog rubbed the right half of the buttocks painfully and said, "Master Zhou, you have to say a few good words for the kid in front of the handsome!" It's better to let us go home early! ”

"Nonsense, how can grandpa be as out of tune as you, for the sake of your injury, you don't have to go to the point this morning!"
