Chapter 154: Talking About Things and Flickering (Happy New Year)

At noon the next day, Sun Xiangfu came to Chunjiang Tower as promised, and it was still Li Xiangdie who greeted him, and he didn't know that there was a resentment in this woman's eyes, anyway, Sun Xiangfu was very uncomfortable looking at it.

"Master Sun has been gone for a few months, but I still remember the little girl."

"You're not small! I think it's all plump a little too much. Sun Xiangfu answered casually, but it was the success of making Li Xiangdie's resentful eyes turn into white eyes.

"Adults are used to laughing, you men, you will only be too small, not too big."

"That makes sense."

Sun Xiangfu smiled, and followed her upstairs to the private room, at this time, there was already a wine banquet waiting for him.

Wu Shi Tong did not come, on this occasion, as the acting chief official of a place, he was not suitable to come, so today's negotiations with the four major families in Yangzhou were completed by Sun Xiangfu alone.

"In Xia Sun Zhengming, I haven't consulted ······ yet"

"Yangzhou Zhu Fan, I have seen Sun Xiamu."

"Yangzhou Zhang Zheng, I have seen Sun Xiamu."

"Yangzhou Gu Yong, I have seen Sun Xiamu."

"Yangzhou Lu Chen, I have seen Sun Xiamu."

"Hehe, Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu are also a lot of people! I don't know what your identity is at home? ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this title, he knew that the person who came was not the head of the family or something, of course, the heads of these big families generally have official status, and their grades may be much higher than Sun Xiangfu, so naturally they will not condescend to talk to Sun Xiangfu about business.

"Foreign Steward." The four of them spoke in unison.

"What authority does this foreign affairs director have?" Sun Xiangfu nodded when he heard this, and continued to ask.

"Naturally, I can manage all the affairs of the family's external business." That Zhu Fan took the lead and said proudly.

In the four major families in Yangzhou, the core children of the family are all studying and becoming officials, and they don't have to worry about business matters at all, and the general manager of foreign affairs is to assist the family in managing all the affairs of business transactions, and the power is very large.

"This official wants to buy a batch of soybeans in Yangzhou, I don't know how much the price is?"

As soon as Sun Xiangfu said this, Zhu Fan immediately put away the pride on his face, and the other three also looked at it with a smile and asked, "How much do you want?" ”

"Three million stones."

"Hiss~"

Hearing this, the four of them took a breath at the same time, exchanged glances in surprise, and then Zhu Fan turned to Li Caidie and said, "Miss Caidie, a distinguished guest like Lord Sun is here, why don't you invite the singing and dancing team to come up and wait, I really don't know what." ”

For this kind of condescension, Sun Xiangfu is too lazy to laugh, several major families use them to take care of business operations, not without reason, they must be particularly good at this aspect, three million stone soybeans, that is a transaction of more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan, if Sun Xiangfu is talking to them on behalf of the royal family, then there are more ways to operate here, they have been in business for so many years, and they have never seen an official who does not love money.

Soon, the women who showed their hemispheres and thighs were greeted by Li Xiangdie, and she herself even put a pair of huge breasts on Sun Xiangfu's arms, helping him pour wine and vegetables and feed fruits.

Soon, after the four of them communicated in private, Zhu Fan took the opportunity to toast and came to Sun Xiangfu's case, and did not shy away from Li Xiangdie, and whispered to Sun Xingfu, "I wait for a few families, a total of 4.5 million stone soybeans in hand, if Sun Xiamu collects all according to the market price, there will be a good reward." ”

"Four and a half million stones? Well, that's enough. What is the market price of Yangzhou soybeans today? Sun Xiangfu stared at Zhu Fan's eyes.

"Eighty wen a stone, this is the price at which each shop is sold outside."

"It's expensive." Sun Xiangfu said without even thinking about it.

"What do you think is the right price?"

"Thirty cents and one stone."

Zhu Fan was stunned when he heard this, but his face was not very good-looking, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Isn't my lord making fun of us?" Thirty wen is enough to buy seeds for one acre of land this summer. If it is such a low price, I am afraid that the entire farmers in Yangzhou will rebel. ”

Zhu Fan's words are actually not wrong, even if the yield is four stones per mu, planting two seasons a year, the output of one mu of land for the people of Yangzhou is only more than 600 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of planting one season of rice or millet before, which is already a loss of labor, so the samurai will buy the soybeans in the hands of the farmers at this price to appease the farmers and avoid changes.

But since Sun Xiangfu said that the price of thirty wen is exported, there is a reason for him, because if the four major families pull these soybeans to the north to sell, the income will not be higher than this price.

In this era of underdeveloped transportation, when a large weight unit needs to be transported over a long distance, the manpower required will be amazing, and this year, the beans in the north are also very sufficient, and they can't sell them at a high price, so if they can't sell them, they have to smash them in their hands, and as long as the policy is not loosened, they will continue to smash it next year, because they dare not disobey the orders of the imperial court.

"This is as a punishment for you who cooperated with Wang Lin before and wanted to trap me."

Since Zhu Fan's face has changed, Sun Xiangfu naturally doesn't need to give them any good looks, but when he said this, Li Xiangdie, who was still snuggling up to her just now, shook her body in fright, and hurriedly distanced herself from Sun Xiangfu.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Fan was a little speechless.

"The meaning is very simple, don't agree, the fields of your four families will be planted with soybeans next year, and all of them need to plant soybeans, agree, I will not blame the past for the previous things, and give you a way to go." Sun Xiangfu said in a condescending posture.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Fancai was shocked to realize that behind this person was the emperor and the imperial court, and the four masters of Yangzhou had the strength to confront the imperial court?

"What way?"

"What do you think of the shares of the Yangzhou branch of Wangjianglou?"

Hearing this, Zhu Fan's face took another 180-degree turn, and he stared at Sun Xiangfu unexpectedly for a long time, and after confirming that he was not joking, he gave up his hand and said, "My lord, this business is discussed, can you allow me to discuss it with a few of them." ”

"It doesn't matter, I've always been tolerant of people who are willing to cooperate with me, and you can discuss it for as long as you want."

After that, Sun Xiangfu's eyes had already looked at Li Xiangdie, who was restless on the side of the case.

"Miss Li, what tasks did your master give you, I have no interest in knowing, I only know that he looks down on you and treats you as a cheap commodity, give this and dedicate to that, although you have a face, you don't have a dignified life, even if you have some musical talent, but after all, you are a prostitute who sells skin, and she can't be called an artist."

Hearing this, Li Xiangdie's miserable face showed two lines of tears, and she said in an empty tone, "It seems that after a slave family and other criminal officials, there is dignity at all, and it is already an honor to be their plaything and live decently." ”

"You are wrong to think so, I think that a person, no matter what his status, can be respected by people with his art, and you don't feel people's respect for you, that's because your artistic level is not enough, and you are not a real artist.

Just like the legend of the white snake that I performed in Wangjianglou, I dare not say that it will be passed down through the ages, but it will definitely become the memory of the people of this era, we do not rely on selling hue, not selling our dignity without a bottom line, but relying on the beautiful stories we show to move people.

When people think about it, when they see this play, they don't think about the background of the person who performs it, but only pay attention to the play itself, because of your excellent performance in this play, people will like you, chase you, involuntarily, from the heart. ”

In later generations, there were many outstanding artists who even transcended the boundaries of language, race, and skin color, and reached admirable heights, and this is what a true entertainer should pursue.

For example, Michael Jackson, Sun Xiangfu fell in love with him without understanding a lyric he sang and watched his dance for a second, just because he heard a voice on the street that made him feel cool. Because of his black identity, he suffered from vitiligo, and he worked hard under the eyes of many discriminators, and spent his brilliant life, so that the people who admired and respected him far exceeded those who discriminated against him.

Of course, there are also great artists like Beethoven, who are completely deaf and still insist on their artistic creation, their lives may not be perfect, but the art they left behind has influenced generations to come.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu can't say that Li Xiangdie will become a person like them, but he feels that it is necessary for him to wake up this person who has not yet lived to understand.

"Me, do I still have a chance?"

No one wants to be willing to fall, especially people like Li Xiangdie, who don't know where they should go after the fall, she was confused by what Sun Xiangfu said, and she doubted life, which is right.

Fooling the people of this era, it is Sun Xiangfu's own skills that cross the party, with more knowledge precipitation and accumulation, it is easy to put the ancients who are not broad-minded in the clouds, since it has made a start, Sun Xiangfu naturally wants to carry this matter to the end.

"Of course there is, everyone has the right to choose how they live, it depends on what you do, continue to do things for Wang Lin, you may be able to worry about food and clothing, but get rid of him, you may gain dignity and achieve greater achievements."

Li Xiangdie is the most talented musician in the world that Sun Xiangfu has ever seen, and she can copy the soundtrack of the White Snake with her memory of the voice, which is far inferior to Yu Xiuer.

You know, for this kind of large-scale soundtrack, more than a dozen instruments are required to be played at a time. If you want to put these things together, you must first understand these things, so if you can plot against Li Xiangdie, not only can you let Sun Xiangfu know a lot of Wang Lin's secrets, but also add a general in quyi performance to his camp.
