The faces of the Semu merchants were very ugly, they whispered for a while, and a Semu merchant came forward and said: "This is too unfair and unfriendly to our merchants from afar, we have the most goods, but the place we came from is too far away, such a method is not in line with the tradition of Great Wei to appease the distant people and subdue them with virtue." ”

Xu Zi first made a firm hand gesture and said: "My ability is limited, I can only take care of myself first, and then my neighbors, safety is always the first, and fairness can only come last." If the merchant feels unfair, he can take a detour, and he can't chase you for money. Besides, although you have come from afar and traveled a long way, but you are not here to make friends with our Great Wei people, you have made a lot of money, and you can't be reluctant to pay a little money, in this case, you are too unfriendly to our Great Wei people, isn't this the truth? ”

There was a roar of applause all around, and many people were almost applauding, and the faces of a group of color-eyed merchants suddenly changed.

Of course, the Great Wei court had its own considerations to create a friendly business atmosphere and attract more people to trade.

Through hundreds of years of development, the trade of the Great Wei is indeed extremely developed, and it has also led to the development of industry and commerce, but the foreign merchants are not here to do charity, of course, they are also making a lot of money, and taking advantage of the preferential treatment of the Great Wei to earn more benefits.

Xu Zixian is not xenophobic, but he just thinks that the practice of either party suffering a loss and taking advantage of the other party is not healthy in terms of interpersonal relations or foreign trade relations, and it will not last long.

If you don't change course, one side will let some benefits come out, and sooner or later, the party that will suffer will use the method of burning, killing and looting to get it back, and finally break up.

Negotiation and concessions are the way to deal with conflicts of interest under a sound system, and of course, very few people can understand this, that is quite few.

"I'm still in a hurry." A merchant with a few porters and a few burdens couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said, "Calculate how much this goods are, I have to pay for the card." ”

"Okay, I'll do the math." Kong He stepped forward energetically, with almost a smile in his eyes.

Regarding the taxation of foreign merchants, especially the merchants of Semu, Kong He and others almost raised their hands and feet in agreement.

And Xu Zixian didn't reveal much news beforehand, until the letter was in hand, and everything was announced to everyone when everything was completed, and Kong He didn't have much resistance to this.

If this kind of thing is leaked out early, it is very likely that unpredictable changes will occur.

To put it simply, Pu Shouchen, who looked ugly in front of him, such a lustful and wealthy businessman also had unimaginable power behind him, if the Pu family knew about it early, his power in Fuzhou Mansion City, and even the network of connections in Jingshi, would be enough to change the reward for Xu Zixian in one direction.

And now that the card has been set up to collect donations, things have already begun, and no matter how big the Pu family's energy is, it will be difficult to get it back for a while.

The key point is that Xu Zixian's method mainly collects money from wealthy merchants, especially color merchants, and has less impact on the interests of small and medium-sized merchants and Han merchants, including local merchants, which will make the local government strongly support, especially Xu Zixian's re-display of skill and ability, which will make a considerable number of people full of confidence in the success of his group training.

And the people of the color of the businessmen to be preferential, in the territory of the Great Wei does not pay taxes but make a lot of money, there have long been complaints, this matter spread, Xu Zixian will not be regarded as greedy, on the contrary, the image of the son of the world will be raised again, although Xu Zixian is just to open up a stable source of wealth for himself, but in the hearts of many people, it will become the dare to open up a knife to the wealthy businessmen, there will be a faint image of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

"It's all raw silk, it's very easy to calculate, one pick one hundred and twenty pounds, twelve runs and one pick, you are five picks, sixty runs, and pay five hundred wen."

"Good!"

The merchant was in a hurry to deliver the goods, and secondly, it might be really urgent, so he took out half a hanging of money from the jacket at the moment, glanced at it slightly, and handed it to Kong He.

Kong He took it, waved his hand very refreshingly, and said: "Write a donation document for him, and then pass through the south mouth, valley mouth, and water mouth, but it is a riverside ferry or an official road, and you don't have to pay any more." ”

"The sooner we start the group training, the more assured we are that the merchants will be able to do business." After paying the money, he felt that he could say a few words, but the raw silk merchant stood still and said a few words of encouragement.

"Don't worry." Xu Zixian smiled and said: "The donors are all righteous businessmen, for the sake of the safety of all the righteous businessmen, we will also do a good job of the group training as soon as possible......

Someone took the lead, and there were more people who followed, and soon the second and third merchants paid their estimates, and several scribes and Zhuang Ding's assistants inspected one after another, and after a good rush, most of the merchants were allowed to leave.

"Forget it, I'll pay too." A group of lustful merchants were in a stalemate for a while, seeing that this place was in order, the past merchants all paid money and left, no one made trouble and no one was dissatisfied, even the lively ones were scattered, they knew that if the stalemate continued, they could only stay in the town for the night, and at the moment someone brought their heads to valuation, and their expressions were full of helplessness.

"Gold and silverware, spices, worth three thousand five hundred yuan, pay thirty-five yuan." After Kong He announced, the merchant took out the equivalent amount of silver, put it on the table, and then received the certificate of donation, and left with an unhappy face.

The rest of the merchants did the same, either giving silver, gold, or copper coins, and the endless flow of people kept passing by, leaving behind a whole basket of copper coins and money.

Li Yi and Kong He and others were sent by Xu Zixian to Sanchuankou, Shuikou, and Gukou respectively to collect the merchants' donations and money.

Of course, those Houfu generals who were fully armed and stood with weapons in their hands also left a deep impression on people.

When some people tried to escape, the young generals did not hesitate to shoot arrows to stop them, and they were not even afraid to shoot the fleeing merchants, which made many people vigilant.

These half-sized teenagers are the most worthy of fear, giving birth to melons, eggs, and children, and their temperament is in the most unstable and cruel period, and they dare to kill people if they are the slightest mistake.

Once subdued, basically they will not rebel or have any unusual thoughts, and most of the orders from above will be resolutely implemented, even if it is killing or injuring people, they will definitely not hesitate.

After dark, the caravan is extinct, and few people in this era will brave the darkness to catch up at night, but for the sake of prudence, Xu Zixian still kept a few Zhuang Ding and a scribe to guard, and after the change, he left Zhuang Ding and the husband, patrolling here, once he found that a caravan had sneaked away, he would ring the gong to call the police, and chase after him on horseback, and he would definitely catch up within a few miles.

The copper coins and gold and silver received were quite heavy, and everyone smelled the smell of copper happily, and even Xu Zixian was quite happy, watching these baskets fall into an indescribable state of joy.

God is pitiful, this is the real first pot of gold he dug up.

Soon after returning to the other courtyard, a few other people also rushed back with gold, silver and copper coins, because there were fewer merchants there, the amount of taxation was not large, and the collection was mainly copper coins, looking at the heavy weight, the harvest was definitely not as much as the south entrance to Fuzhou, even so, it was enough to make people happy.

"Add vegetables tonight." Xu Zixian said to the little sister and Xiuniang who came up: "The Zhuang women who grow vegetables in the back are all called in, wash their hands and ask them to help cook, everyone has worked hard today, and they are ......all eating in the house."

The little sister nodded very calmly, but the glowing eyes still exposed the little girl's unquiet heart.

Xiuniang is in the palm of her hand, getting along day and night, and her confidence in Xu Zixian is inexplicably stronger.

"Brother," the little sister finally couldn't help but say when she turned her head to leave, "You are much better than Daddy." ”

"Let's talk to my father when I worship my ancestors in the Mid-Autumn Festival." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Be careful, his old man comes up to talk to you about this, what's the problem." ”

"It's not serious again." The little sister glared at Xu Zixian fiercely, turned her head and laughed again, Xiuniang's eyes were also crooked, like two rounds of crescents, the two women still couldn't help but look at the gold, silver and copper coins a few more times, and then turned to leave.

"More than 1,000 pieces of gold and silver, and more than 1,000 pieces of copper coins." In the loud noise, Kong He and the others stepped up their counting, and when the food in the back house was fragrant, they finally counted the copper coins and gold and silver.

"Keep the gold, slowly melt it into horseshoe gold, and I keep it useful." Xu Zixian said to Li Yi, Kong He and others: "Take the silver to the Pu family's money house to exchange it for copper coins, there is still their money here, you have to say thank you to others." ”

Everyone laughed and fell, and after Xu Zi relaxed first, the side of the witty and complaining dead college student finally began to be exposed.

Pu Shouchen's face was as ugly as plastered with lime, and under the general trend, the convoy of the Pu family trading house, or the people related to the Pu family, had to pay money.

It can be said that today's events have the greatest impact on the Pu family, and they have been stabbed in the stomach again and again.

Of course, with the Pu family's business pattern covering the entire Fujian Road, as well as Jiangling Mansion, Jiangnan East Road, Zhejiang East Road, and Jingshi, at present, this little thing can be said to be not even a drop in the bucket, but it is not a good thing for Pu Shouchen, he is in charge here, but the family business has suffered losses, and for a shrewd and capable principal, there will be nothing more sad and humiliating for him than this kind of thing.

The Pu family will definitely find a way, but Xu Zixian doesn't know what Pu Shougao will do for the time being, there are too few sources of information, and the original Xu Zixian also knows what happened to him, and now everything has deviated from the original trajectory, and there will be fewer and fewer memories that can be used.

Xu Zixian nodded secretly, in a cheerful mood, he didn't make a decision immediately, but the matter of finding people and establishing an intelligence system seemed to be imminent.
