Chapter 265: Zhao Chamber of Commerce

As Shi Bin expected, Wu Qian, Yu Jue and Zhao Kui had already had a tacit understanding of cooperation with Shi Bin before, and now he is here to send long-term benefits, so naturally everything is easy to talk about, and it goes straight to the point.

Although Wu Qian is very principled, he is not incorruptible, and he has no objection to secretly doing some business. Yu Jue, the perennial feudal official who guards the border gates, is even more happy, and even praised Shibin for being a man, and he also left behind the fact that he didn't get all the latent quotas before, after all, he didn't do things well first. Zhao Kui, the old fox, was more troublesome, and talked with him repeatedly for an hour or two before negotiating, Shi Bin and Jia Ling were stunned to let him be tempered, so that he could do the least effort to get the greatest return. Zhao Kui, this old fritter doesn't need to invest a penny, as long as you open the road, you can share dividends.

Easy things are done, but some are difficult to do.

"Although Zheng Qingzhi's son is greedy for money, he is still his son, he must know about our affairs with Zheng Qingzhi, and he shouldn't care about it." Shi Bin groaned.

"It's okay, Zheng Qingzhi's son who regards wealth as his life can even sell his ancestors for money, let's just give him more benefits. Besides, didn't you join his salt gang? Since there is no withdrawal, everything is still negotiable. Jia Ling said with certainty.

Shi Bin also agrees with this statement, but he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, so he still has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't believe it very much.

"Big brother, sister-in-law's words are very correct, there are too many such things in our Western Xia. If you are afraid of losing face, let me and my sister-in-law go. Li Yuxi firmly supported Jia Ling on the side, and also came to retreat as advance.

"Really? Even if Zheng Qingzhi's son agreed, Zheng Qingzhi would know sooner or later, so what should he do? Shi Bin continued to ask.

Seeing that Shi Bin was so cautious and careful, Jia Ling, the eldest lady who was used to being happy, was a little unhappy, "Why do you want to do so much?" Let's pull Zheng Qingzhi's waste son onto our thief ship first, and then talk about it, I don't believe Zheng Qingzhi is on the boat when his useless son gets on the boat! ”

After looking at Jia Ling's unwavering face carefully, Shi Bin chose to believe that since the two women had gone, how could he still stand by and watch the seven-foot man? That's a big joke.

"Although this time it is said to be a way to send money, but first of all, I still have to apologize, and I must not come to the door empty-handed, then the young master of the Zheng family is not a bun, so I have to choose a good gift." Shi Bin groaned. Lowering his head and thinking about it, he, an upstart who has never seen the world, has not come up with anything useful after all except thinking of 'Cadillac' and 'private jets'.

Of course, knowing what Shi Bin's frowns were, Jia Ling and Li Yuxi naturally didn't laugh, looked at each other and said in unison, "Let's go to the antique market tomorrow and see what good things are there." What he likes most about a gentleman like him is vassal elegance. ”

Shi Bin agrees with this very much, the more nothing he has, the more he wants to get something, Zheng Qingzhi's son has always liked to package himself as a high-grade literati, thinking of this, he immediately said, "It makes sense, tomorrow we will go to the antique market to exchange and change, and if you want to exchange it, don't worry about spending money." ”

Purposeful things are always done quickly, and the next day I only went shopping for a morning, and spent less than 1,000 taels of silver to find three items from the Warring States Period, Jing Ke's fish intestine sword and two gold bottles used by King Zhao.

After lunch, it was agreed that in the afternoon he would persuade Zheng Qingzhi's son to join the Chamber of Commerce.

Waiting is always boring, Shi Bin, the master who never takes a nap, waited and waited to fall asleep, but Jia Ling and Li Yuxi, two noble ladies who pay attention to the rules of life, didn't fall asleep because they had things in their hearts, which is a strange thing.

Maybe it was because the boring waiting made Jia Ling and Li Yuxi impatient, and Shi Bin was already woken up two quarters of an hour before the agreed departure time, urging him to prepare to go to Young Master Zheng's house.

I wanted to complain, but I was about to do something big, so I couldn't pinch it up by myself, so Shi Bin had to be very 'obedient'.

The door of Young Master Zheng's house is indeed not difficult to enter, after all, Shi Bin is Jingnan's pacification envoy, so he can't help but give him this face. But when he entered the living room of Young Master Zheng's house, it was empty. Shi Bin and the others understood that this was to give them a look and express Young Master Zheng's dissatisfaction. It's also an old fritter, Shi Bin can still bear it, but after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, he didn't even serve a pot of tea, and he, the guy who feels sorry for the woman, is already angry.

knew that Shi Bin had already lost his temper, but he had to bow his head because he wanted to do big things, otherwise he would have started fighting a long time ago. Jia Ling opened her mouth and asked, "What about your Young Master Zheng?" Why haven't you come yet? I don't know if Jing Nan appeased Shi Bin to come? Or did you not report it at all? ”

The subordinate was taken aback by this, and immediately replied tremblingly: "Madame, forgive me, the villain must have reported the matter of Lord Shi's coming, but the young master was taking a lunch break at that time, so he had to tell his personal guard first, as for whether the guard told the young master or not, the villain really doesn't know." ”

"I see, then report it again. Let's just say that Lord Shi has something good to come to him to discuss, if he doesn't want this benefit, then we will leave. Lord Shi is also a good day, and he has no time to spend with him! Jia Ling said very 'angrily'.

As soon as he heard the 'good things' and 'benefits', the next person immediately rushed to Young Master Zheng's bedroom, and within a cup of tea, the eldest young master of the Zheng family stood in front of Shi Bin with a smile.

"Why did Lord Shi come here today?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there are some things I want to talk to Young Master Zheng about." Shi Bin deliberately said vaguely, and motioned to Young Master Zheng to let the man go out.

With such a look, can Young Master Zheng not understand the meaning? Although he was stupid, he was not stupid, and immediately motioned for all his subordinates to go out, and hurriedly asked, "What does Lord Shi want to talk to me about, why did you let those subordinates go out?" ”

"Hey, Young Master Zheng, do you think Lord Zaifu's money is a little less?" Shi Bin sighed and asked, "His dignified Zaifu's annual income is only 10,000 taels, where is it enough?" ”

Shi Bin's words immediately made Young Master Zheng come to his senses, "Sure, where is enough, it's just that these subordinates live a tight life..." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, as if remembering that Shi Bin and his father in front of him were political enemies, and they had nothing to do. Then he said coldly, "Lord Shi, what do you mean by this?" My father is as honest as water, even if the court is not enough, he will not be corrupt! ”

I couldn't wait to immediately step forward to give this shameless guy a five-finger mountain and knock out a few of his front teeth, but Shi Bin still held back and smiled very 'sincerely': "This is natural, how can Zheng Jaefu be corrupt?" This official understands why Zheng Gongzi reacted like this, is it because of the conflict between my father-in-law and your father last time? That's because they have different political views, and it's not that they have a deep hatred. I'm here to be the peacemaker this time, please see! After speaking, Shi Bin asked Xu Feng to show the prepared gift.

As soon as he saw these rare antiques, Young Master Zheng immediately lost his temper and stopped pretending, and said with a smile, "Lord Shi is really polite, how can Zheng afford it." Although these things are not peerless treasures, they are rare to see, and they are also very rare. ”

"Where, where. It's just a small courtesy. Shi Bin smiled again.

"What is the good thing that Lord Shi just said?"

"It's simple, I want to form a big chamber of commerce with a few adults and do some small business together. Now that the treasury is empty, and the Yuan people continue to invade the south, they are using money everywhere, so we can pay some taxes to some extent, and it can be regarded as serving the country and sharing the emperor's worries. ”

After listening to Shi Bin's words, Young Master Zheng immediately agreed, but after a while, he calmed down and said, "Lord Shi is really loyal to the country, I will definitely join, but it is best for my father to join as well." However, the relationship between my father and your father-in-law is a little too stiff, and I am afraid it will not be easy to handle. ”

"Zheng Gongzi, can you help us beat the side drum and say something good?" Jia Ling said with a kind face.

The favorite thing is money women, and now that there is money and Jia Ling, a stunning beauty, she naturally did not hesitate anymore with a smile, and immediately agreed to help Shi Bin persuade Zheng Qingzhi to join the Chamber of Commerce.

With Zheng Qingzhi's son leading the way, Zheng Qingzhi's mansion Shi Bin was naturally unimpeded, even if he knew that the relationship between his master and Shi Bin was not so good, he didn't dare to stop it, so he had to hurriedly tell Zheng Qingzhi that there was a bad god in his house.

On the way, he knew that the person who came was Shi Bin, and the surprise was why his son brought it, Zheng Qingzhi could only faintly feel that there was something strange about it.

As soon as he entered the door of the study, Shi Bin, who was already waiting there, quickly stood up from the Taishi chair and saluted, "Hello, Lord Zaifu." ”

"Hello Lord Shi, may I ask why you are here today?" Zheng Qingzhi has a bad relationship with Jia Nidao and Shi Bin, so he naturally speaks in a cold official tone.

"Xiaguan is here for the Great Song Dynasty." Shi Bin said very slyly.

Shi Bin's words made Zheng Qingzhi a little puzzled, although Shi Bin would not be outspoken, he would not be flamboyant, why did he look like a traitor now?

"Please make it clear to Lord Shi, this official still has a lot of official business to do!"

Seeing that this method didn't work, Shi Bin had no choice but to signal Zheng Qingzhi's son to speak, and the few of them shut up.

"Father, yesterday Lord Shi went to the child's house to discuss with the child about filling the treasury..."

Filling the treasury? When did his son, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, care about national affairs? Zheng Qingzhi looked at his son suspiciously, didn't speak for a long time, and finally couldn't help but curiously signal him to say something specifically.

"Father, Lord Shi's method is very good. He wants us to partner to form a big business, so that it will be much easier and much easier to make money, and if you pay part of this money to the treasury, won't the treasury be full? ”

"Fart! Bastard things, this is called personal fraud, where is what fills the treasury? After hearing this, Zheng Qingzhi immediately shouted angrily, "You get out of here!" ”

Being yelled at like this, Young Master Zheng was so frightened that he crawled out of the study, leaving only Shi Bin and Jia Ling.

"Shi Bin, what do you mean by this, insulting this official?" Zheng Qingzhi shouted.

"The lower officials don't dare, I really want to fill the treasury through this law, if the adults think that this is a personal fraud, then please ask the emperor to say that I am a private fraud. If you also want to fill the treasury through this law, how about the emperor set up this chamber of commerce as an official camp? Shi Bin did not panic when he heard Zheng Qingzhi's roar, but said the above words calmly.

glanced at Shi Bin for a long time, during which his brows were tense and sometimes loose, obviously extremely contradictory in his heart. This kind of malpractice has long been seen everywhere, and it is very good to be willing to make this kind of thing into an official business and then pay some taxes. If he refuses, Shi Bin can still unite many officials to do it together, so he Zheng Qingzhi has become the target of public criticism, so it is very stupid to oppose him in this matter.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Shi Bin, you are amazing." The official agreed, but you must ensure that all the officials involved pay taxes and do not smuggle! ”

"This is natural, this chamber of commerce belongs to everyone, not a certain person, if someone does not pay, then this chamber of commerce can still tolerate him? It's just that Lord Zaisuke, everyone is here to make money, so you can't set your taxes too high. ”

Where would Zheng Qingzhi not understand this? Now there are also his interests in it, of course, the lower the tax amount, the better.

After the negotiation was settled, Shi Bin, Jia Rudao, Lu Wende, Wu Qian, Zhao Kui, Yu Jue, and Zheng Qingyi applied for the establishment of an official chamber of commerce, called the 'Jia Chamber of Commerce'. Seeing that there was money to be made and there was so much support from important ministers, Ding Daquan, who was originally hesitant, immediately seconded it.

Rimu, who was overwhelmed by the emptiness of the treasury, naturally agreed without blinking. However, since this is the official Chamber of Commerce of the Great Song Dynasty, it naturally cannot be called the Jia Chamber of Commerce, and Li Zong said that it should be called the Zhao Chamber of Commerce.

In the eyes of Shi Bin and others, there is no difference between calling the Jia family or the Zhao family, as long as there is silver, naturally the Zhao Chamber of Commerce was established.
