Chapter 266: Negotiation

The Chamber of Commerce has been established, Li Zong has naturally become the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and Shi Bin has become the regional general manager of Jinghu South Road. He can handle all business matters other than salt and iron, the key is that such a Zhao Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to completely muddy the water, even if someone with a heart doesn't stare at it, he can't see what the 'business' that Li Yuxi wants to set up has anything to do with herself.

The matter has been done, Shi Bin naturally took Jia Ling back to Ezhou, and let the restless Jia Yidao relax first.

Because the income far exceeded expectations, almost everyone hummed a little song on the way back to Ezhou, and all of them were elated and happy.

"Husband, what do you say we should do with this Jingnan firm? Will it be directly attributed to the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, or will it be partially subsumed into the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, or will it continue to operate independently? Jia Ling asked.

"It's a bit of a hassle for you to say this. If it's all put into it, our foundation will be all known, so it's not good. But it's a loss if you don't go in at all, after all, the tax is low, and ordinary people can't squeeze in if they want to. Therefore, the best way is to put the business name that Li Yuxi wants to run and some of our industries that are not very profitable. ”

"Well, that's pretty good. It not only covers Sister Yuxi and improves our profits, but also makes others think that we will not have a weak business foundation, killing three birds with one stone, good! After listening to Shi Bin's words, Jia Ling said to herself, the more she talked, the more excited she became, and it was better to call it out.

Although Shi Bin himself didn't feel very proud and proud, he still had a sense of accomplishment when he was praised by his wife, so he naturally smiled.

"There is also a specific question, what exactly does the business that Sister Yuxi said she wants to set up operate? This has to be carefully considered, and it has to make money without arousing the suspicion of the Yuan people. Jia Ling immediately calmly raised a very important question after boasting.

"Indeed, we can't make a business a loss, that's a big joke. Even if you don't make money, you have to not lose money. What more do these nomads want than salt and iron, you say? Shi Bin, a guy who rarely buys things and doesn't understand the customs of nomads at all, can only ask modestly.

"What do nomads need?" Although Jia Ling, the eldest lady, is often crazy everywhere, she can't answer this question.

Just as he was about to feel depressed, he saw Li Yuxi beside him in a blink of an eye, and immediately pointed at Shi Bin and laughed: "We are really stupid, isn't there a party member here, isn't she Li Yuxi a nomad?" ”

However, it didn't take long for Jia Ling's smile to stiffen, because Li Yuxi, the princess of the Western Xia royal family, didn't seem to know which commodities their party members needed or liked very much.

"Li Yuxi, don't you know what you need most?" Jia Ling didn't seem to give up yet, and continued to ask.

Li Yuxi, who looked guilty, raised his head and said very 'painfully', "I'm sorry, sister-in-law." I don't know that, I just know what's delicious. ”

After hearing these words, Jia Ling suddenly remembered that although Li Yuxi is now a heroine, but before that, she was a princess born in the royal family, even if she resisted the yuan, she would not care about those things, where would she know what ordinary people need and like, that is, what commodities officials like, she may not know.

gave each other a 'what to do' look, and Shi Bin said helplessly: "That... Yuxi: Do you know what your father or queen mother likes the most? ”

As if seeing a child who showed his opportunity, Li Yuxi suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "I know, my father's favorite is Maojian tea and West Lake Longjing." The queen mother, the queen mother likes the rouge produced in the Great Song Dynasty. They don't hesitate to spend money on it. Li Yuxi said with great certainty.

Men love tea, women love to dress up, why didn't I expect this, Shi Bin immediately scolded himself in his heart for being stupid. What's more, the north is dry and lacks fruits and vegetables, and if you don't have tea, you will get sick, so it is best to do a tea business. Yuan people not only do not exclude, but also very welcome.

"It makes sense, I remember that West Lake Longjing and Biluochun are not decently expensive. You lack fruits and vegetables in the north, you must need tea more, and it should be more expensive. In this way, not only is it easy for us to make money, but our status is naturally high, and the Yuan people will not be easily suspicious. ”

"It seems that yes, I remember that my father was very happy when he met a courtier who paid tribute to good tea, and he would reward a lot of wealth and silk, and those people would be promoted more easily. I remember that a courtier once paid a tribute of ten catties of West Lake Longjing, and his father was overjoyed and promoted him to a level on the spot. ”

These are ridiculous enough, no wonder Western Xia is going to die, Shi Bin slandered.

"Since you have ordered the goods to be sold in the past, you must also think about what you bring back, and you can't go back empty-handed."

"Of course, Xiaoling thinks it's better to bring back what goods to sell? But first of all, don't talk about horses, I have to keep the good horses for myself. Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, it won't rob you of the flesh of the heart. I think their fur is the best, and I have a white fox fur scarf, which is said to be worth five gold bars, and it was given to me by one of my father's men. ”

Five gold bars! This number shocked both Shi Bin and Li Yuxi. Shi Bin lamented that Nazhizhou was 'generous' enough to be corrupt, while Li Yuxi lamented that the merchants of the Song Dynasty were too cunning and greedy, because the purchase price of such furs generally did not exceed five taels of silver.

After chatting for a while, when it came to dinner, a few people naturally wanted to rest and rest, and then chatted after a beautiful meal.

Zhao Gang can't do without wine at every meal, and he will be sullen if he doesn't have wine, so even when he is marching, he has to drink two glasses to enjoy himself.

After drinking less than two sips, he smiled and said, "Today's rice wine is mellow and sweet, much better than what I drank in the Jingshi Inn a few days ago." It's a pity that I haven't drunk rice wine and fruit wine anymore. ”

Rice wine, rice wine and fruit wine? Hearing this, Shi Bin seemed to think of something, but he couldn't say it, and when he thought about it, he thought of red wine and vodka. Since you can't think of it, you don't want to, maybe the answer will show itself at that time.

"Yuxi, you party members should also drink bars."

"Sister-in-law, of course we drink, but not like you."

"What kind of wine is that, see if I've ever drunk it." Jia Ling asked very curiously.

"I'm afraid not, we're drinking milk wine." Li Yuxi patiently explained: "It is a wine made from the milk of cows, horses, camels, goats and sheep. ”

Shi Bin had known about this for a long time, but Jia Ling had not only never drunk it, but had never even heard of it. When she was about to ask what the milk wine tasted like, Shi Bin slapped his palm on his thigh and said with a smile: "Wine, wine." Let's sell all kinds of liquor to those Yuanren who are addicted to alcohol, do you think they will buy it? ”

Of course, Jia Ling, Li Yuxi, and Zhao Gang didn't answer but nodded desperately, with golden light in their eyes, as if mountains of gold were in front of them. This reaction is naturally a bit excessive, but selling good tea and good wine to the Yuan people, even if it is not a mountain of gold and silver, will definitely make money every day.

"Thank you, Zhao Gang, you drunkard has helped us a lot." Jia Ling laughed and teased on the side.

Now that the sale has been decided, the next step is to see who is responsible. This business is to contact the warriors who have lurked in the party, and Li Yuxi naturally has to go for the first time, but she must not be alone, at least one or two deputies must be used, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that the matter is successfully completed and everyone is evacuated safely.

At this time, no one spoke, and they were all together in large numbers, as if they were cautiously thinking about something.

"Yuxi is my wife, I should go!" Zhao Gang was the first to speak and said firmly.

"You?" Shi Bin, Li Yuxi, and Jia Ling said in surprise in unison after hearing this, with an incredible expression on their faces.

"Hahahaha, Zhao Gang, can you do this? Not to mention that Sister Yuxi's going is already very dangerous, if you still go with you, can your temper not hurt her? Jia Ling pointed at Zhao Gang and said with a reprimanding tone.

With such a reproach, Zhao Gang immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Zhao Gang, tell me who is better?" Shi Bin's voice came at this time.

His eldest brother asked, what does it mean that Zhao Gang can not understand? Zhao Gang is just reckless, not stupid, and occasionally there are some wise people who naturally say without hesitation, "Of course the eldest brother is the most suitable." The eldest brother has made several meritorious contributions by sneaking behind enemy lines, and he is the most experienced in this, so he is the most suitable. ”

"Zhao Gang! Are you trying to kill your big brother? What do you mean by him being a feudal official to be an agent? Li Yuxi and Jia Ling heard two stern rebukes together.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing again, Zhao Gang didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only give Shi Bin an apologetic look and bow his head.

Naturally, he couldn't miss such a fun and exciting opportunity, Shi Bin planned to start a Jedi counterattack, and said solemnly: "Who said that Zhao Gang was going to kill me?" I think it's a good thing, it's to help me! In a year or two, I will have to go to war with the Yuan people again, shouldn't I, as the commander of the whole way, go on a field trip? Do you have to listen to those scouts who only know what to do? ”

"I really convinced you, this can be reasonable, but I don't believe the information Xu Feng brought back, you won't believe it, I think it should be the best choice to let Xu Feng accompany Yuxi on a trip." Jia Ling said with a smile.

Li Yuxi immediately agreed, and said that he would definitely come back safely with Xu Feng.

"How can this be? Xu Feng is my personal guard, who will protect my safety when he leaves? ”

Jia Ling, who was about to run out of options, was a little anxious, her eyes were fierce, and she said, "If you dare to go, I will go to Ezhou to tell my father about this, let him join you, and let the emperor reprimand you and not let you send troops to fight against the Yuan next time!" ”

There was actually a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle? Jia Ling is ruthless enough, Shi Bin said secretly. Although I believe that she won't do this, it's just a momentary anger, but I'm also a little scared, afraid that the relationship with her will be ruined.

However, Shi Bin still didn't want to give up such a fun opportunity, so he asked with a smile: "May I ask why the good wife is sure to let me go?" ”

"It's not that you can't go, it's just a condition."

Looking at Jia Ling's sly gaze, Shi Bin guessed a few points but was still unsure, so he pointed at her and said, "Could it be you..."

Before she finished speaking, Jia Ling laughed and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Husband is really smart, yes, I will go too." If you don't let me go, don't go either, let Xu Feng accompany Yuxi! ”

Knowing that there was no need to discuss, in order to taste the freshness of this underground work, Shi Bin had no choice but to reluctantly agree to take Jia Ling with him. Even if Li Yuxi and Xu Feng tried their best to dissuade them, it didn't work, and in the end, they could only go to Yuanren's 'business' with these two guys who like to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
