Chapter 227: A New Path to Wealth

Perhaps it was to reduce profits and give way to the market to make the large and small merchants in the five states think that they were 'acquaintances', and they no longer had an attitude of rejection towards the Jingnan business, an outsider, and reluctantly accepted it.

Although there were places to stand in those places, Shi Bin, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi's faces were no longer so happy. It's really hard to climb higher and fall harder, at the beginning I made so much money every month, but now I suddenly lose 30% of my profit in a month, which is really unpleasant.

Giving up thirty percent of the market means throwing away seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and seven or eight thousand taels a month is more than 90,000 taels of silver a year, and even a rich merchant can't stand it.

Jia Ling, the eldest lady, has been accustomed to seeing a large amount of silver and wealth since she was a child, and she doesn't care if she misses tens of thousands of taels of silver after more than ten days.

Although he knew that he couldn't do it brutely, and Shi Bin wouldn't agree with her doing it, Sai Xishi had a gloomy face since then, and he always seemed to be thinking of a way to grab back the market. You must know that she is a bandit, and the bandits will never easily admit defeat and swallow a bad breath.

Fortunately, Shi Bin knew Sai Xishi's temperament and knew that she would not act without permission, so he let go of his mind a little, but he also tried his best not to anger her, lest she get mad and make a punching bag with this matter.

Now Shi Bin actually doesn't really want to see the financial statements, although he knows that he must have made a lot of money, but it is a lot less than before. The market and the silver are still sent out on their own initiative, which is considered to be soft, just like 'land compensation for land cutting', so I don't ask halfway until the report comes out. Even when the report comes out, he just has a cursory glance, as long as he doesn't lose anything.

At the end of Chunyou's ninth year (1249 AD), Sai Xishi finally couldn't stand it anymore, rushed into Shi Bin's study, walked to the desk, pressed the table with his angry hands, his face was suffocated red, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shi Bin, give me the profit back, give me the market back, this month's less than 20,000 taels of silver is too little, I can't do anything at all!" ”

Although it is less than before, there are also 17,800 taels of income per month, which is much better than before, Sai Xishi's appearance is purely pretending, just to take back the wealth and face that has been lost, although it is indeed full of anger and gritting teeth, but there is no anger, just pure nonsense.

Because Shi Bin didn't want to really anger Sai Xishi in his heart, he didn't break her trick, but comforted her in a very soft tone: "Madam, didn't you already say that your husband wants to let people drink some soup when we eat meat, you also think this is right, why have you changed your hexagram now?" You are also a woman who doesn't let you shave your eyebrows, it seems that you shouldn't be so stingy! Why should we bother with those small people? Isn't that a joke? ”

"Don't hold me up so high, don't think about going around me again this time, if they dare to petition me again, I will really do it and drive them out of the five-state market! Slave family, I must get back the gold and silver that were thrown out, and I don't fight when I look at the financial statements every day, and the more I look at it, the more angry I become, hum! Sai Xi Shi said angrily.

Although he knew that it was just angry words, it was also the truth, and even he Shi Bin himself felt suffocated, let alone Sai Xishi? It's just that he doesn't want to disrupt the market and bankrupt too many merchants, nor does he want to ruin the good name he has earned so hard, let alone become the target of public criticism.

So I had to continue to comfort Sai Xishi, but I didn't expect the leader of the race this time

But no matter how Ren Shibin persuaded her, she didn't accept the current situation, for only one reason: she became angry when she looked at the numbers on the report.

Shi Bin, who had no choice, had no choice but to come up with a delaying strategy, "Madam, it's only been a few months, maybe the situation will be much better in the future, Tanzhou and Dingzhou are the best examples." What's more, it's not so easy to take back the market, since we promised to return it, if you want to come back, you have to take it back in a proper way, not in a businessman's way, right? ”

Seeing that Shi Bin set her again, Sai Xishi didn't bother to pay attention to it, and still said the same sentence: Looking at the numbers on the report, he became angry.

Shi Bin's patience was limited, and seeing that the strategy of delaying the army was still ineffective, he simply launched a temper: "Sai Xi Shi! What do you want! Well, you won't make a slight turn, right? If these five states can't do business, they will go to other places to do business, and the Great Song Dynasty is not only a place on Jinghu South Road! ”

It was also the first time to see Shi Bin glaring so angrily, Sai Xishi was frightened, and suddenly remembered that she was just a concubine, and she was not qualified to talk to the head of the family like this, and if she did too much, she would be finished. The letter of resignation is not only a divorce certificate, but also an insult, indicating that the woman has no woman's virtue, and Sai Xishi can't afford this, so he wiped his tears and escaped from Shi Bin's study.

Sai Xishi, who was wiping tears in the porch and panicked, collided with Jia Ling, who was so happy that she didn't look at the road. The two of them were originally angry and ready to scold, but when they saw each other, they were no longer angry, and they were very surprised by each other's appearance.

"Sister Xi Shi, what's wrong with you, why are you crying like this?" Jia Ling has a much better relationship with Sai Xishi now, and she is already kind and naturally wants to ask.

"It's okay, it's okay, the sand got into my eyes, and I just sneezed a few more times." Sai Xishi is very scared now, not afraid that Shi Bin will be angry, but afraid that Jia Ling will stand up for himself after knowing what happened, so he finds an excuse to cover it up.

How can this little trick be hidden from Jia Ling? Without thinking about it, she opened her mouth and said: "You cry like this and say that there is sand in your eyes, when I am a dumb melon?" Tell me what's going on, is that guy Shi Bin bullying you? If it's him, I'll get justice for you! ”

It was she Sai Xi Shi who was arrogant and unreasonable, and now Jia Ling still wants to help her 'seek justice', if she really does this, wouldn't Shi Bin be so angry that she will go crazy? I had to beg and said: "Sister, I was wrong, my sister quarreled with him just now in my husband's study because of too little profit." He kept reassuring me, and I kept asking him to go back to the 30% market, and finally he lost his temper. ”

Knowing that Jia Ling, the eldest lady, would not understand very much how low the status of the concubine was, Sai Xishi said again: "Sister, don't help me out, although I am a flat wife, I am actually still a concubine, and my husband can make me lose my identity with a letter of resignation, then all the things that my Sai family got with great difficulty will be gone." ”

I knew what the letter of resignation was, but Jia Ling really didn't know that this thing would have such a big impact, so she had to calm down and say that she would not help Sai Xishi 'seek justice', and instead said with a smile: "Since my sister is troubled by this, then I have a dose of medicine that can cure your heart disease." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, are you better off with me these days? It's just that I'm not as distressed as you, and the reason why I'm happy just now is because I saw something. ”

"What's the matter?" Sai Xishi hurriedly asked, since there is a way to make more money, of course she, the big shopkeeper of Jingnan Firm, can't wait to know what is going on.

"Killing..."

Hearing this, Sai Xi Shi looked at Jia Ling as if he saw the devil, as if he didn't know her anymore

。

"Don't get me wrong, it's not about killing someone else, it's about killing a smuggler."

Illicit salt dealers?

immediately understood why Jia Ling was happy, if she could really participate in selling salt, it would be guarding an endless mountain of gold. At this time, Sai Xishi's face also improved, and he no longer cried, but smiled and praised Jia Ling for being smart enough. However, they all knew that this was a matter of life and death for Shi Bin's family, and they must not act without authorization, so they all said that they would discuss with Shi Bin first before anything else.

Shi Bin, who was buried in the pile of documents, hesitated, quarreled just now, and had no intention of reviewing the documents, just for example, so there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he immediately noticed it, raised his head and looked at it.

Sai Xi Shi, Jia Ling! Two tigresses came together.

It has always been that those who come are not good and those who are good do not come, Shi Bin subconsciously thought that they were here for the thing he reprimanded Sai Xishi before, so his face was heavy immediately.

"Husband, do you think I'm here to stand up for Sister Xi Shi?"

"Isn't it?" Shi Bin obviously didn't believe it, and replied very unhappily.

"Could it be that Sister Xi Shi and I are just like that? There won't be anything else? ”

This made Shi Bin very surprised, Sai Xi Shi and Jia Ling have never suffered losses, and now the relationship between the two is much better, Sai Xi Shi has been wronged, what can Jia Ling do if she doesn't help?

"It's a shame that you're also a big official all the way to the frontier, so you only have such a little strength and vision, so we won't come to apologize or offer advice for what just happened?"

If others said this, Shi Bin would have believed it, but he would never believe it when the two ladies in front of him did this, but in order not to be embarrassed, he still asked Jia Ling to tell her plan very 'sincerely'.

"Salt..." Jia Ling finished the word meaningfully in a long voice.

Shi Bin, whose eyes were shining, immediately stood up from his chair and looked at Jia Ling worriedly.

You must know that this salt and iron has always been an official camp, and if you dare to sell it privately, you will be directly beheaded with a cane and 30 heavy. If you cook five stones and sell two stones of salt, you will be killed.

Soon he calmed down and was no longer nervous, and sighed. First of all, he lamented that he was so stupid that he forgot how precious salt was in the Song Dynasty, how big the profit space was, and what market to compete with those ordinary merchants; secondly, he lamented that his foundation was too thin, and it took some effort to enter this market for valuation; Again, I lamented that even if I entered this industry, I wouldn't have much business, and most of them could only make a small fuss.

However, Shi Bin is still a contented person, and he knows that this so-called 'small fight' is actually a great fortune.

"Ma'am, do you have a way to get salt leads? Although this smuggled salt trafficking is not a big problem for us, we can take the right path and don't go the wrong way. ”

"Don't worry, can't I get a few pieces of salt, am I still Jia Yidao's daughter? It's just that I'm just as uncomfortable as Sister Xi Shi, and I want to get back all the profits I lost, and a few salt quotes are not enough. ”

Not very profitable?

It means that he wants more, the market Shi Bin is absolutely not allowed to come back in the near future, he can't break his word and get fat, so how can he make more profits? Could it be that Jia Ling has another way?

"What then?"

"We'll do what your horse did!" Jia Ling said with a smile.

It turned out that he wanted to smuggle while doing business normally, which was a good way, but Shi Bin was still beating the drum in his heart, and he didn't want to lose his hard-earned gains all at once. (https:)
