Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Heart Is Insufficient, and the Snake Swallows the Elephant
So I didn't want to explain to Mo Yu here, and then said the value of these things, this time Mo Yu chose to believe it directly, and didn't do too much struggle, that is, he didn't bargain too much.
Therefore, it is more authentic to say that the last thing is unintentional, first say the value of this thing, and then tell them that when someone comes, you can talk to them according to this value.
This is already against some commercial things, so it is more authentic for them to say that Wuxin is unintentional, because there is no way to decide these things without intention, so they have to give some advice to the two of them.
So there was another person, this person was exactly the same as the person yesterday, and then Mo Yu and Jiang Liang raised the value to the highest, and then the whole link was over.
has also completely said what he wants, but during the whole process, Mo Yu still remembered some things, that is, these things seem to be the Lin family, there is really no coaxing, all of them are true.
In the past, Mo Yu thought it was an exaggeration to say that some businesses were rich and rivaled the country, but today it seems that this is not just a problem of being rich and rivaling the country.
It is likely that it can be done in some hard power.
Then Mo Yu didn't stay too long, went directly to the Elder's Mansion, and then asked Jiang Liang to go back first.
Because Elder Duan still has a few high-level people, who eat and live in the Elder's Mansion, and their families can also sit there, so Mo Yu will go to the Elder's Mansion this time to send money.
This money can be regarded as Elder Duan's own private property, but he is still a little scared in the future, what will he do if he really wants to investigate this matter as Elder Duan said.
Is it really a reassuring confession?
Therefore, Mo Yu is still more worried in some cases.
But before Mo Yu had time to think about it, Mo Yu had already handed the money to Elder Duan, and then when Elder Duan wanted to give some to this Mo Yu, Mo Yu definitely didn't accept it.
The two of them shirked back and forth in a small secret room many times, but in the end Mo Yu still insisted on it, after all, his position was still too small, and if he really accepted a lot of money, Mo Yu was afraid that he would not be able to eat it at all.
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Mo Yu still understands this truth, this money is something that can never be wanted, and then Elder Duan still wants to leave Mo Yu to eat here.
Mo Yu felt that this was quite acceptable, and it happened that he had been busy for a long time and had not eaten, so he ordered some of his soldiers on night duty to go somewhere else to get some food.
After all, at this time, some people who can really cook food have already gone home and stopped working, so it should be that they should also go to other restaurants to get it, which is not a special trouble, so Mo Yu still accepts it.
Then the two of them discussed the materials that Mo Yu sent over in the afternoon while talking.
First of all, Elder Duan of course exaggerated Mo Yu, praised Mo Yu's more practical work, and said that Mo Yu could be embodied through some real materials, unlike some other people who only said some empty words.
Moreover, Elder Duan really listened to Mo Yu's suggestion for the most part, for example, on the issue of expanding this market, Elder Duan was ready to silently provide some government publicity for some small merchants, and he would not charge any fees.
On the one hand, it must be to restrict large merchants, and on the other hand, it must be to stabilize their hearts, so that they can stay here with peace of mind, so that they can continue to do business here.
In this way, they can provide a steady stream of tax revenue, to put it mildly, 90% of the country's fiscal revenue is theirs, which is not a win-win situation, which means that they still have something to take care of.
As far as the city of Beidacheng is concerned, in fact, the fields near it also belong to the other two cities, and the activities in that city are all imported from commerce, whether it is food and drink, or clothing in daily life.
The city was completely unable to be self-sufficient, or even to produce at all, and some of the army's stuff must have been purchased far more locally.
Moreover, the price given to the army by some merchants is very low, which saves the country's affairs, and sometimes it is only necessary to send the front desk, and the country still needs to transport the necessary things and weapons to the army.
But the city was still thriving, and the population was growing, and that must have been due to the merchants, who were able to sustain the local community by bringing in a steady stream of supplies.
Although the state will have some price suppression on these businessmen, the contribution that these businessmen can make is naturally great.
Sometimes the wool is also based on the fat of the sheep, and if I say that it is too thin, it is likely to force the sheep to death, and no one wants to see this situation.
There is also Jidu, which is basically such a model, except for some workers who need basic life, almost all of the cities are composed of caravans.
I just want to show the importance of merchants in the polar country, and the wealth they can increase is not only the convergence of the wealth of the people at the bottom of their country.
Sometimes they can use some foreign wealth to strengthen themselves, and the use of trade differences can make the wealth flow into the polar countries, and the existence of polar merchants can be seen in almost all countries.
The degree of access to information is much higher than that of businessmen in other countries, and many people have a keen sense of smell for this information.
This is the necessity of the existence of overseas halls, they are to carry out a higher tax, to create a higher money, in fact, in this case, there are still most businessmen who go to follow.
The main reason is that the state is not as sensitive to certain prices as businessmen, and the Venerable Master generally does not do anything that harms others or himself, at least on the surface, when they feel that it is profitable or the benefit is many times greater than this tax, then they will not care about the money.
This is why there are so many people in the polar countries who speak some other languages, and there is a fairly strong market for them, which has contributed to the emergence of this type of people.
Of course, other countries are not stupid, with the understanding of this kind of thing, they have also begun to slowly increase some means of trade difference, but for some huge institutions, it is still certainly not as good as the polar countries, so this situation is likely to exist for a long time.
Elder Duan and Mo Yu chatted about their true purpose, which was a bit confidential, or that sentence for something too confidential.
Mo Yu felt a little unbearable, whether you said it or didn't want to listen.
It's just that something has come to your ears, can't you cover your ears and say I don't listen, I don't listen? Obviously, this is not possible.
Elder Duan talked about the problem of the construction of the city, so the reason why he said this problem was because of this incident about half a year ago to a year ago.
The above came to inspect, as if Mo Yu had not yet taken over the position of the city lord at this time, and then when the above came to investigate, he said that the defense of the thirty-nine cities was too weak, and at that time, Elder Duan still felt that this kind of talk was nonsense.
Being in a position almost a little south of the polar country, it is impossible for some fierce battles to occur, and as far as this level of defense is concerned, some small bandits are absolutely impossible to break through, or they will not do such stupid things at all.
Then he ordered Elder Duan to hurry up and start operating this matter, so that the level defense of 39 City would be raised to a higher level, and he promised that he would allocate funds in the future.
At this time, Mo Yu seemed to understand, and then Elder Duan continued, the next thing is naturally to spend some money to sort out this city first, and then deepen the city's defense capabilities.
But when it came to the time to start asking for money, it seemed that the above began to disadmit the things again, of course, it sounds good to say that the reason is very good, that is, because of the recent expansion of the army, it has cost a lot of money, plus the increased defense capability of your city is indeed a bit too much, and the implication is that the money spent is indeed a bit too much.
Therefore, we can't give you this money anymore, so you can find a way to solve it yourself, and then reveal some of it to Elder Duan, and even hint at some solutions.
And so this happened.
Of course, the occurrence of this situation is also very helpless for Elder Duan, in fact, the above meaning is already very clear, that is, there must be someone who is a bad person.
Let you let Elder Duan do this bad guy, of course, this bad guy will definitely not let you do it in vain, as for how you can get some of the things you want, it's up to you, we will definitely not care about this.
And then one of these happened.
In fact, Mo Yu didn't know much about the previous situation, but when it came to this point, it was already so clear that Mo Yu suddenly wanted to laugh.
I found that the people with black bellies were not only businessmen, but these people above were also quite black-bellied, and Elder Duan's helplessness was deeply reflected in Mo Yu's body.
Mo Yu was thinking about one thing, if it was really the time when he had to do it one day. So how do you do it?
Then Elder Duan said that these secrets did make Mo Yu feel heavy, Mo Yu was thinking in his heart, what are you telling Lao Tzu to do this, you just let me do these things, he told me such a deep secret, I don't want to know these things.
In fact, Mo Yu also saw through one thing, that is, it seemed that the people above let Elder Duan casually obtain some of his own benefits, in fact, in the end, if the above really wanted to turn over some old accounts, these words were not as good as at the beginning, and they would not be unreasonable if they were unreasonable.
I said that if I don't admit it, I won't admit it.
No road is smooth sailing, no road is absolutely upright and bright, is this why Mo Yu thinks that Elder Duan will not be so stupid, just at the mercy of others?
must have left some of his own backhand, Mo Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, could this also be treating himself as a worse person, in other words, will he be a scapegoat?
However, Mo Yu thought about it, this kind of thing should not happen, because he is also a family, and if he really deducts from himself, I believe that no one will be willing.
It seems that Elder Duan should have completely absorbed this matter, hey, Mo Yu suddenly felt a little distressed about Elder Duan's meaning, if Mo Yu felt that Elder Duan had a choice, he would definitely not choose such a risky way.
The people above are really too scheming, first asking you to do something that seems normal, and then pushing you to a point where you have to do it.
In terms of this status, Mo Yu also understood Elder Duan's suffering, and decided to share some of it for Elder Duan, so he completely revealed all his thoughts.
In fact, this is the case with the pie of the entire polar country, that is to say, this pie is fixed, and if the pie of the thirty-nine cities wants to expand a little, it will inevitably interfere with the interests of other cities, that is, it will have a hostile posture with other officials.
So Mo Yu didn't have any good ways, but he just said that he had to be careful if he did this, after all, it was not a particularly good thing to offend some people on this occasion.
It is inevitable that someone will go through the old accounts and talk about this matter in the future, and if he really finds some more handles, it will be a bit dangerous for Elder Duan.
Elder Duan shook his head: "Mo Yu, I know, how can I not know these things, first attract all the information in the vicinity, let them share it a little, so that everyone will have a lot less hatred for me, maybe they will probably not care about such a trivial matter."
"Okay, come and eat, don't talk about business, don't talk about business, you should get married, do you want me to find one for you?" This sentence said that Mo Yu almost threw up the rice.
Mo Yu is reluctant to find one in this place, of course, it doesn't mean that the people here are not good, Mo Yu is still willing to find a similar one, so it won't take so long to go back to his parents' house.
Mo Yu can be regarded as hating this situation, this kind of long-distance travel scene Mo Yu can be regarded as fed up, so Mo Yu will not find a local one to kill, and he knows that coming to this kind of place is also a gold-plated, and it will definitely not last long.
Therefore, Mo Yu resolutely resisted Elder Duan's kindness.
He thanked Elder Duan with a smile, then politely declined and continued to eat.
It didn't take long to go back here, and I usually have to practice swordsmanship when I go back.
His sword is also in some official places, so he should not be afraid of losing it, and basically when he doesn't carry it with him, he puts it in the place where he lives.
