At noon the next day, Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang stood downstairs in Juxian, looking at this somewhat old plaque.

This restaurant has a history of more than 100 years, and the honorable ministers may not be able to book a place here.

Yang Hu sent an ordinary invitation, but the location was set here.

A feast.

Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart, with a smile on his face.

Wei Xizhuang already knew that Yang Jiushao was also here, his face was gloomy, and he said to Zhou Zheng: "I brought enough people, if Yang Huzhi and Yang Jiushao still dare to mess around, I will kill them directly!" ”

If it weren't for his sanity, Wei Xizhuang would have rushed in and arrested people a long time ago.

It's definitely not okay to get killed.

Zhou Zheng had a clear understanding of this trip in his heart, and said in a low voice: "No matter that Yang Huzhi, Yang Jiushao, you will definitely be able to take it away today!" ”

Wei Xizhuang hated Yang Jiushao in his heart, and responded in a low voice, "I'll drop the cup later." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed and said, "I also brought people, but they shouldn't dare to mess around." ”

This is also just in case, this group of salt merchants really dare to do anything. If it weren't for Zhou Zheng taking Yang Qishao in the capital, Wei Xizhuang's grievances could only be swallowed by himself, even if he was the grandson of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian!

The two talked a few words and then stepped into the Juxian Building.

Xiao Er was already waiting at the door, and when he saw it, he said, "Lord Wei, Lord Zhou, Third Uncle Yang is already waiting, please come with me." ”

Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang listened to this title, their expressions did not move, and they stepped forward.

As soon as he walked to the staircase, Yang Jiushao walked over with a smile on his face, as if he was reuniting with old friends, looking at Zhou Zheng, Wei Xizhuang and the two laughed loudly: "Wei Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi, I have been waiting here for a long time." ”

When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed.

Wei Xizhuang looked at him, his fists clenched, the undisguised killing intent in his eyes, and the corners of his face were blue.

Yang Jiushao observed his words, looked at Wei Xizhuang's expression, and immediately said: "Master Wei, I have offended a lot before, and today I am here to make amends." I have six shops in the capital, all of which are on Chang'an Avenue, and there is a tea house outside the city, and I will make amends to Wei Gongzi together. If Wei Gongzi is still dissatisfied, as long as I have it, Wei Gongzi can say it bluntly!! ”

In Huai'an Mansion, Yang Jiushao can enjoy his majesty, but it is different in the capital.

Daming business to make money, the first is salt, the second is tea, clothes can be made a year, or even a few years, but salt and tea, no matter how poor people have to buy and use!

Especially in the case of relative monopoly, it is simply an endless stream of huge profits!

The shops on Chang'an Avenue are actually not worth much in the eyes of powerful people, and the tea houses outside the city are the main event, and these things may be worth more than 10,000 taels together!

Wei Xizhuang's eyes were indifferent, suppressed his anger, and said, "Yang Qishao's life-saving money is 100,000. ”

Yang Jiushao's face changed slightly, 100,000 taels, that was basically half of his net worth, but then he smiled and said: "It's good to say, as long as Gongzi Wei is angry, just 100,000 taels is nothing." ”

Wei Xizhuang snorted coldly, 100,000 taels can't buy his anger! In his eyes, this smiling Yang Jiushao is already dead!

Zhou Zheng watched from the side, and shook his head secretly, this Yang Jiushao's vision is a little worse, only staring at his own nest, if he had a good relationship with Wei Xizhuang in Huai'an Mansion and relied on the Wei family, what a big help would it be, and where did it come from so many things?

Even now, this Yang Jiushao still didn't recognize the situation, and actually wanted to use a few shops and a tea house to send Wei Xizhuang away.

There is such a big movement in the capital, if it can be settled in this way, where is the need to wait until now?

"Two adults, please." The little two waited for a while and said again.

Zhou Zheng glanced at this little er, the people in this place, there is no simple.

The little two's face was as usual, respectful, with his head down, and he held the towel as if he were holding a knife.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Wei Xizhuang with a slight gaze, and stepped upstairs, but Wei Xizhuang didn't notice it, and kept staring at Yang Jiushao with cold eyes.

Yang Jiushao looked at the backs of the two, his brows furrowed, and there was a look of annoyance in his eyes.

When has he ever whispered to someone like this?

"Two adults, please." Coming to a private room, Xiao Er pushed open the doorway.

Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang stood at the door, and saw that there was a tea table in the box, the fresh fragrance of tea was permeated, and behind the tea table, a half-hundred-year-old man, expressionless, was making tea with a focused expression, steaming, and the tea was sizzling.

"Come in." Yang Huzhi didn't raise his head, and said lightly.

Wei Xizhuang's expression was cold, and he sneered: "You are such a big businessman!" ”

Yang Huzhi concentrated on making tea, and said: "Being an official is indeed powerful, but the power is not all in the officialdom, since you are here, you must have thought of the conditions, come in and talk about it." ”

Zhou Zheng's expression was dark, this person is not simple!

Wei Xizhuang was so angry with Yang Hu that at this time, he was still pretending to be like this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Believe it or not, I will arrest you and send you to prison and give you a big punishment!" ”

Yang Huzhi finished brewing tea, unhurriedly put the two cups of tea on the opposite side, then raised his head, looked at Wei Xizhuang outside, and said: "The reason why this matter is so far, is because we are in a loss, not because we are not capable enough, if Wei Gongzi wants to arrest me and go to prison, many people will not agree, you know who I am talking about." ”

Wei Xizhuang's face was immediately pale, and his eyes were spewing fire.

Yang Huzhi is right, he has no problem arresting Yang Qishao, it is because he has been wronged in Huai'an Mansion, Wei Zhongxian must support him, Hou Guoxing, Keguangxian and others can only not speak. But Wei Xizhuang's revenge should also be moderate, if it is beyond the scope of Yang Qishao, such as arresting Yang Huzhi, then the nature is different, and Hou Guoxing and others will definitely not allow it.

After all, they have great interests in it.

Wei Xizhuang is inferior to Hou Guoxing and others in front of Wei Zhongxian, if Wei Zhongxian thinks that Wei Xizhuang has other plans, it is difficult to say who he prefers.

Zhou Zheng's expression has remained unchanged, but he is extremely vigilant in his heart.

This person is not simple! saw things extremely thoroughly and pinched their weaknesses.

"We really can't arrest you."

Zhou Zheng walked in with his feet raised, sat down opposite Yang Huzhi, looked at the crystal clear tea, picked it up and took a sip gently.

Wei Xizhuang knew the purpose of coming today, suppressed his anger, and sat next to Zhou Zheng.

Yang Huzhi looked at Zhou Zheng with an indifferent expression, his eyes were sunken, and there was a hint of gloom.

Zhou Zheng put down the teacup, looked up at him, and said, "Jiang Qi is in my hand." ”

Jiang Qi, a member of the household department, was in charge of this year's salt introduction, and at the same time collected money from salt merchants and distributed it to those officials large and small involved in this matter.

If he is arrested, it will definitely affect this year's salt merchant plan, not to mention, Jiang Wei knows too much!

Yang Huzhi didn't seem to hear Zhou Zheng's words, looked at Wei Xizhuang again, and said, "Let's talk about the conditions." ”

Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand, took the teapot in front of Yang Huzhi, refilled a cup, and said, "You should have thought of the conditions when you came to us, let's hear it." ”

Yang Huzhi looked at Zhou Zheng's movements and said, "As long as it's not too much, I can nod." Positions, money, women, what do you want? ”

Zhou Zheng took another sip of tea and said, "I believe you are more anxious than me, go straight to the point and say the conditions you gave." ”

Yang Huzhi has always been in charge of discourse, this kind of thing happening at the negotiation table is simply fatal, how can Zhou Zheng always allow it.

Yang Huzhi looked at Zhou Zheng quietly for a while, and said, "No wonder the old seven folds are in your hands." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "He can't go back." ”

Yang Huzhi didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, looked at Wei Xizhuang, and said, "Lao Jiu will give it to you, live or die casually." In addition, the salt of those ships will also be given to you, which is worth fifty thousand taels, fifty thousand taels a year. ”

50,000 per year!

Wei Xizhuang listened to the color change, this is money falling from the sky! If he can really have it all the time, even if he doesn't do anything, he will be comfortable enough to live a lifetime!

In comparison, Yang Jiushao is no longer important!

Zhou Zheng noticed Wei Xizhuang's expression, and his eyes suddenly tightened to look at Yang Huzhi.

This Yang Huzhi's methods are really clever, far from being comparable to Yang Jiushao. 50,000 taels a year will pull Wei Xizhuang on the boat, not to mention Wei Xizhuang's ability, it is the signboard of the Wei family, it is far from being comparable to 50,000 taels per year!

Yang Huzhi saw Wei Xizhuang's intentions, his face was still indifferent, he turned to Zhou Zheng, and said, "Zhou Ji's things, I will buy 100,000 taels every year and help you sell them." ”

The cost of Zhouji's things is very low, after all, it is not a strict formula for later generations, processes, and utility, 100,000 taels, and the profit may be as much as 70,000 or 80,000 taels!

It is equivalent to giving Zhou Zheng seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver for nothing every year!

What a big deal!

The corners of Zhou Zheng's eyes trembled slightly, and the Yang Huzhi in front of him was less than Yang Qi, and Yang Jiushao's wrist was much higher!

Wei Xizhuang was excited for a while, and quickly calmed down, especially when he saw that Zhou Zheng didn't speak, his face was straight, and he didn't answer, thinking about the trap in his heart.

Yang Huzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Do you still want it?" ”

Yang Huzhi has already seen that the key to this matter is not in Wei Xizhuang, but in Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng's heart flew inward, looked at Yang Huzhi's expression, and said, "Lao Wei's conditions remain the same, mine has to be changed." ”

"Tell me about it." Yang Huzhi looked at Zhou Zheng straight and said calmly.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyelids, his expression was calm, and said, "I don't need you to buy the things I have in Zhouji, I want to buy 500,000 stone salt from you every year, 200,000 taels." ”

The price of salt in the Ming Dynasty varies from place to place, and the average price is about one stone and one tael of silver, and Zhou Zheng wants to use 200,000 taels to buy 500,000 taels of goods!

Yang Huzhi sat up a little straighter, looked at Zhou Zheng, his expression was still indifferent, not surprised, not angry, his eyes were cold, and he couldn't see the bottom.

Wei Xizhuang knew the price, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Zhou Zheng to really open his mouth so much, it was equivalent to asking for 300,000 silver for nothing in a year!

"Anything else?" Yang Huzhi reached out and picked up the teacup and said indifferently.

Zhou Zhengdao: "Let your people be quiet." ”

Yang Huzhi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, sat on the chair, and looked at Zhou Zheng quietly.

Zhou Zheng said that he used 200,000 yuan to buy 500,000 yuan of salt, but in fact, he cut out their profits, and 200,000 yuan was very close to the cost, not a loss.

The crux of the matter is that Zhou Zheng actually hit the idea on the salt.
