More than 100 years of war have given birth to one of the most fashionable professions of this era: banditry!

In order to survive, in order to avoid military disasters or heavy conscription, the people gathered in groups of three or five, hundreds of people roared in the mountains and forests, gathered in the water, and made a grand robbery of this unprofitable business.

It's a pity that there are more monks and less porridge, because this profession is too hot, so hunger has become a normal life for bandits.

The end result of fishing is that everyone in this industry will face the crisis of unemployment.

Under the mediation of people with lofty ideals, this road is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, and if you want to live from here, leave the road to buy money, it has become a new benchmark for the industry.

Because the bandits found that those who only seek money and do not want their lives often live much better than those who want money and death.

Seeking only money, not life, is of course a kind of progress in the bandit industry, and it is a manifestation of the industry's tendency to formalize.

But there are two sides to everything, someone benefits, someone is destined to be damaged, and the most serious damage is of course the ancient express delivery department dart, which bears the brunt.

They not only had to pay the taxes of the imperial court, but also had to pay all kinds of tolls, security fees, and safety money to the bandit villages of all sizes along the way.

In the long run, it will be difficult not to lose money.

The reason why Ping Shiyuan is determined to be a fast catcher is because the dart industry in the four seas has suffered deeply.

Now I heard Wen Qihang actually persuade her to be content and not too greedy, and finally broke out unbearably.

"Bandits!"

Ping Shiyuan repeated. She was a little excited, but also a little aggrieved........

What is the difference between what Wen Qihang is doing now and those robbers, they are all the same righteous and arrogant words in the world.

"Bandits........?!" Smelling Qihang, he couldn't help grinning, and he didn't know why Ping Shiyuan was suddenly so excited.

"Little sister, be cautious!" Ping Sihai hurriedly dissuaded. Although there is a hindrance from the smell, in the final analysis, this is after all an act of the imperial court and a will of the emperor himself.

"Fourth brother, don't persuade me, today I will ask for an understanding, let him give us an explanation, why do he say a word, we have to hand over the business road that we have worked so hard to build with our lives." Ping Shiyuan said excitedly.

"Don't get so excited! Sit down and let's talk slowly. Wen Qihang comforted with a wry smile.

In fact, to put it bluntly, when a dynasty was first established, before the concept of a state was formed, its behavior pattern was not much different from that of bandits. As long as it is conducive to the rule of the regime, it is normal to say that it is just a confiscation of a trade route, even if it is the nationalization of an industry.

"What is there to talk about!" Ping Shiyuan said hardly.

"I know that uneven distribution of spoils is the easiest to cause infighting." Wen Qihang coughed lightly and said, "Then let's start from the beginning and see if there is any problem with our share, how about it?" ”

"I'm listening!" Ping Shiyuan pursed her lips and said.

"Okay." Wen Qihang shook his head helplessly and said: "The income of the cattle and horses this time is a total of 1.2 million yuan, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Ping Shiyuan snorted lightly, which can be regarded as confirmation.

"Of them, more than 200,000 yuan is taxes, and the rest of the money will be given to the soldiers of the Yongxing Army more than 500,000 yuan, and then the cost of manpower and material resources will be deducted this time, and finally there will be a balance of more than 400,000 yuan, and our two families will be divided into 55 yuan, and one family will be more than 200,000 yuan, which is right?" Wen Qihang sighed in his heart.

"That's right, that's right, but why give the Yongxing Army a big head?" Ping Shiyuan said dissatisfied.

"Without them, do you think your fourth brother can safely transport all the more than 5,000 cattle and horses to Jingshi? Is your fourth brother's life important, or is money important? Wen Qihang said angrily: "I usually look at you as a very smart woman, why do you always make mistakes at critical moments!" ”

"How different are they from bandits!" Ping Shiyuan muttered in a low voice, and continued: "........ Even if the amount of money is correct, but what about business, it's gone! In the future, it will all be handed over to the imperial court, so what about us? After a lot of hard work, what did you get in the end........ The bamboo basket is empty, and I don't know who is paving the way! ”

Wen Qihang couldn't help sighing: "Hey, this woman! Otherwise, how can you say that the hair is long and the knowledge is short! ”

“........ What do you mean? Ping Shiyuan frowned.

"Don't be unwilling, I'll give you an analysis, can you see if what I said makes sense?" Wen Qihang shook his head helplessly and said: "Let's talk about this cattle and horse transaction first, we have indeed made a lot of money, but are you sure that next time, after your fourth brother transports back a batch of cattle and horses from the Uighurs, will they still be able to maintain the current high price?"

You must know that although the price of cattle and horses has not loosened much this time, the rising trend has been contained, otherwise Your Majesty would not let me go so easily.

I can assure you that when your fourth brother brings back a batch of cattle and horses from the Uighurs, the current price of cattle and horses will inevitably fall sharply, and it may even be impossible to maintain the price of the cattle and horses.

Any idea why this is?

Because the affairs of the world are actually very simple, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three, and everyone will know that there will be a steady stream of cattle and horses from the Uighurs to Beijing in the future.

Tell me, can the current high price be maintained?

If the price of cattle and horses falls to more than 200 yuan, do you think there is still a need for this trade route to continue to operate?

At that time, I am afraid that the cost we pay will be greater than the final benefit, and the loss is certain! ”

Countless painful experiences in the stock market have taught us that once the market eventually collapses like an avalanche, the value of its things must be much lower than its own value. The ancients, who have not experienced this kind of catastrophe, cannot imagine what kind of despair it is, and those who commit suicide by jumping off a building will be like a carp crossing the river.

“........ Even if you make sense, that's for later. But as long as it is done this time, it can alleviate the current predicament of our darts in the four seas. "Ping Shiyuan's wisdom, after all, is extraordinary, and she can still understand the truth that Wen Qihang said.

"Woman! Woman! It's really a lust for profit! Wen Qihang wiped his face and said. I have been talking hard for most of the day, and it seems that it is in vain.

"Don't think you're the only smart person in the world!" Ping Shiyuan clenched her fists.

"I don't say I'm smart, I don't think anyone in the world is stupid. Why don't you want to think about it........" Wen Qihang glanced at Ping Sikaidao, who was trying to pretend to be calm next to him: "If it is your good fourth brother who transports cattle and horses back from the Uighurs this time, and finally leads to the collapse of the price of cattle and horses, how will those nobles in the capital who have invested millions of dollars in this matter react?"

Anyway, I don't dare to carry this pot, maybe you have a big head and a deep background, and you can withstand their anger.

As the saying goes: Good money is hard to give up.

Maybe they can swallow their anger once, if they can do it twice........ Anyway, I can't imagine what the consequences will be.

Probably, perhaps, I only have to roll up and run away. ”
