Chapter 279: Discuss Big Things

Since Qin forgot to enter the Chicheng, the Chicheng County Ya held a lavish banquet for the first time.

This banquet was held to catch the wind for the more than 50 merchants. More than a dozen round tables were set up in the hall, and they were piled up with all kinds of dishes. It's just that these dishes are a little more simple and rough, a big bowl of mutton, a few whole chickens and ducks, a fat fish, and a few wild vegetables, it becomes a table, and the color and flavor are probably not the same, which is really embarrassing. Chicheng was short of food, and Qin Forget had issued a ban on alcohol as early as two years ago, and now the small pot of wine on each table is still Chen Wan'er's previous treasure. Although there are not many, they are all good wines, and the good bamboo leaves are green all year round, and they also fight for Qin Wang's face.

The merchants sitting around the round table all frowned involuntarily, these people usually never get tired of eating fine, and when they saw such a crude food in front of them, they really had no appetite, and none of them moved their chopsticks.

Qin Forget sat at the main table with Chen Wan'er, Jin Cheng, and several other merchant representatives elected by the merchants. Among them, the most intriguing ones are Li Chun, Chong Ran, Li Bo, and Jiao Yang, who are from the four countries of Yan, Jin, Qi and Chu, and can be said to be the representatives of the merchants of the four countries. Chong Ran is the old man just now, who has the closest relationship with Jincheng, and Jincheng also contributed the most when something happened.

Seeing that everyone didn't move their chopsticks, Qin Forget couldn't help but blush, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm poor and weak in Akagi, and I can't usually eat these things, so please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." However, this Yellow River red carp and the spring cabbage are the unique delicacy of my Akagi, please try it, try it! He stood up and beckoned to everyone.

Those merchants didn't even dare to say anything, they symbolically pinched a little with their chopsticks, and then no one stretched out their chopsticks.

Jin Cheng and Chen Wan'er next to Qin Forget saw them like this, a trace of annoyance flashed in their eyes, and Chen Wan'er was just about to stand up and say something, but was pulled by Qin Wang.

Qin Wang's small actions were seen by the four people opposite, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, they were young and held a lot of power, but they had such strength, it was really rare.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Qin Wang's serious injury has not healed, besides, there is a ban on alcohol in my Chicheng, Qin Wangwu wants to replace wine with tea, and I will give you a glass." Qin Forget picked up the wine cup, stood up and said loudly.

All the merchants hurriedly stood up, and they all looked at Qin Forget with their wine glasses, waiting for the next step.

"This first glass of wine, I want to pay tribute to the elders and others first, if it weren't for your help, my brother Jin would not have escaped the cage! Thank you for being a younger brother! Qin Forget drank all the tea in the cup.

The businessmen were stunned, thinking that Qin Forget would say something about welcoming everyone to gather in Chicheng first, or thank everyone for their help, but they didn't expect Qin Forget to talk about this private matter first. The look of the crowd

It's wonderful, surprised, strange, contemplative, envious, jealous, and so on.

And Chong Ran and the others were all excited, Qin Wang's move undoubtedly raised their status among the merchants and gave them enough face.

"Boss Jin is righteous, and we are just repaying the favor with a show of hands, I don't deserve the general's love so much, ashamed, ashamed!" Chong Ran hurriedly excused himself, he didn't dare to drink this glass of wine no matter what.

On the scene, everyone held wine glasses, neither drinking nor drinking, and the atmosphere began to be awkward.

Jin Cheng didn't notice this, he only saw that Qin Forget still kept this matter in mind, and would say it on such an occasion, calling him the eldest brother. His heart was so moved that his nose was sore, and he secretly wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"A good sentence to repay the peach, everyone, as long as we can do this, why worry about big things? For these four words, everyone did it! Qin Forget praised loudly and urged everyone.

"It's done!" When the merchants saw that Qin Forget had relieved everyone, they didn't hesitate to drink it all.

"This second glass of wine, I want to salute a person, although she is a woman, but in my Qinjia Village, in my Chicheng when the most difficult time to scatter family wealth to support me Qin Wang. Qin Forget is grateful in his heart, here, I borrow the thin wine in everyone's hands to toast her, Mrs. Wang! Qin Forget glanced at Chen Wan'er gently and gratefully, and drank it all.

Chen Wan'er was also surprised, she didn't expect Qin Forget to bring the past private affairs of the two to this occasion. She glared at Qin Forget in confusion and disgust, but her heart was also full of sweetness.

When this little enemy said such things on such an occasion, didn't he show his importance to himself in front of the people of the world? Oh, I'm ashamed to die, in case I am thought of by others, how can I live if I think I have something to do with this enemy?

Thinking of this, Chen Wan'er's delicate little face turned red all of a sudden.

"To Madame Wang!" This time, the merchants were even more surprised, but with the embarrassing experience just now, they did not hesitate, and shouted in unison without saying a word.

Besides, for Chen Wan'er, they have always admired it, and she is among the most famous people in Dayan with a female stream, and this is the only one in the world. Especially those businessmen from Yan and Jin, who were connected with Chen Wan'er, shouted the loudest.

"This third glass of wine, toast everyone! Thank you for your generosity in helping me in the most difficult time in Akagi. Rest assured, I will never forget the help to everyone! Dry! ”

"! Dry! "The enthusiasm of the businessmen has finally been pushed to the top, and that's what they want to hear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen that my Akagi wharf, warehouses, warehouses, and liquor stores are all in the big way

The mold is under construction. You will have the right to use these first. As you all know, the goods you bring from various countries can only flow to the Khitan Kingdom through my Chicheng, and I will discuss the specific details with several representatives in detail. Now what everyone has to do is to eat and drink, wine and food are not good, you should also know that it is bitter first and then sweet. Qin Wangle said hehehe.

Which merchant is not a human spirit? Qin Forget's reproach to everyone couldn't be clearer, this young man is taking the opportunity to suppress everyone's arrogance. What he meant couldn't be more obvious, who doesn't let go of his arrogance today, then you don't have to think about the tea horse market in the future.

Thinking about this, the businessmen no longer had the pick-and-choose just now, and picked up chopsticks one after another to eat and drink. Although the food was still hard to swallow, no one showed disgust, and some people couldn't stop praising while eating and drinking, which was very different from what they had just performed.

Seeing this scene, a hint of pride flashed in Qin Wang's eyes, and he squeezed his eyes at Chen Wan'er, in exchange for Chen Wan'er's charming big eyes.

After he was full of wine and food, there were only four business representatives from various countries left in Qin Wang's study: Chong Ran, Jiao Yang, Li Bo, and Li Chun.

These four people are the most powerful of these more than fifty merchants, although they cannot be compared with those big families, but they are also medium-strength merchants. can be elected as representatives by everyone, these four people rely not only on strength, but also on prestige and character are convincing enough.

"It's late, forget and don't talk nonsense. I want 40% of the profit from your transactions in Akagi. From the mouth of the Yellow River to the line of Helin, you don't have to pay a penny of tolls, docks, warehouses and other facilities, you can get the first right to use for free, what do you think? Qin Forget said straight to the point.

"Then I wonder how the general plans to collect the toll fees of other merchants and the use of the docks, etc.?" Instead of bargaining as soon as he came up, he asked how to collect these fees.

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately approved by the other four. These people are very shrewd, and if those fees are not much, then they can be cut down and bargained, if they are too much, then it is a different matter.

"It's not decided yet, but I charge according to the value of the goods, whether it's tolls or usage fees for docks. It is tentatively set at 100 miles tax one. But guys, is this little bit of money the point? Qin Forget asked with a smile.

Although the world is chaotic, the taxes of various countries are extremely heavy, but the heavy taxes are only on agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, especially agricultural taxes, since ancient times, the taxes are mainly based on land tax (including household tax and Ding tax attached to the land), supplemented by commercial tax (including customs duties and municipal taxes).
