Just now Qi Xing said that his goods were robbed as soon as they were on the official road, this is obviously not credible, the merchant puts profit first, and he will not be greedy for the cheap escort for free? Will you let the robbers on the road rob you?

Qi Xing was questioned by Zhao Xiu, but he didn't panic at all, but continued unashamedly: "Although the branches of the Zhenjin Bureau are all over Tianwu, they must not be fully covered, in order to get a little cheaper, I will never invite people from the Zhenjin Bureau to be bodyguards from a long distance, this road is too far." ”

Zhao Xiu straightened his waist, raised his head, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth with his shabby sleeves.

"I understand what you mean, you just want to say that the world is not peaceful now, and it has become more difficult to transport iron and stone from the outside to Liaozhou than before, right?"

Seeing that Zhao Xiu himself said what they wanted to say, they thought that Zhao Xiu would be like the previous few times, although he would be reluctant, but he would also give up profits according to everyone's wishes.

"Yes, now the world is not peaceful, Liaozhou is fine, out of Liaozhou our goods can not be guaranteed at all, this iron and stone is in demand, we every time we go to Liaozhou to transport iron and stone is this risk." Another merchant spoke, and at the beginning the other merchants began to gossip.

"Lord, yes, Lord, if it goes on like this, not only will we not be able to make money, but we will have to put money into it. If you don't let us make any more profits, we won't be able to carry it any further. ”

Zhao Xiu sneered in his heart, "It's finally here, and the fox's tail is leaking." See how I clean you up. ”

"Everyone, everyone, quiet, quiet" Zhao Xiu finally began to get to the point, this time the merchants were surprisingly unanimous, and they closed their mouths in unison, listening to what Zhao Xiu said.

Zhao Xiu took in the reactions of the merchants, took a deep breath and said: "You have also seen that I, Zhao Xiu, am a royal family, and I am still wearing old clothes when I go out, so it can be seen that not only are you having a hard time, but I am also the same." Zhao Xiu began to cry poor mode, how could the merchants let Zhao Xiu continue, and quickly stood up and planned to make a long speech, thinking that it was worse than what Zhao Xiu said.

Zhao Xiu also hurriedly motioned for everyone to sit down with his white hands, and continued: "But, but I know that everyone must be more difficult than me." As soon as he finished saying this, everyone sitting next to him showed their approval, and there was a hint of pity in their approval.

"Since everyone is more difficult than me, I, Zhao Xiu, am willing to give up my small family for everyone and help everyone tide over the difficulties. What do you think? Zhao Xiu's words made everyone in the audience show joy except for Meng Xin.

"Then, I don't know if the prince is willing to give up a few percent of the net profit and share it with me?" This is the ultimate purpose of their visit, and it is also their primary concern at this time. Everyone rubbed their hands under the table to ease the excitement.

"Now sixty percent of the net profit of the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau is in my hands, and forty percent of the net profit is in your hands, that is to say, the profit of the manufacturing bureau is four or six open. So I'm going to ......" Zhao Xiu pulled up a long tone, deliberately arousing everyone's appetite, Meng Xin stood at the door and looked at the expressions of everyone on the table and couldn't help but feel funny, the people on the table looked like children in the school, looking at Zhao Xiu like an old master with an innocent face, all rubbing their fists and waiting for Zhao Xiufa to eat, and some even flowed out of Halazi.

"So I'm going to split it into twenty-eight, what do you think?" The merchants looked incredulous, followed by ecstasy,

"Thank you, you are really like my parents."

"I didn't expect the prince to be so generous, so sympathetic to the little ones, thank the prince, thank the prince."

"The prince has this eighty percent benefit, even if we go to the soup and the fire, we will not hesitate."

"We must transport more iron and stone to the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau, and we will never back down even if we encounter more dangers!"

For a while, he was grateful to Zhao Xiu for his words, as if he didn't want money, and smashed his head with a head, Zhao Xiu was also willing to see these merchants say more words of gratitude, and he really couldn't bear to hit them directly. The merchants on the table said at least three auspicious words, and Zhao Xiu smiled and nodded frequently.

The big-bellied Qixing raised his glass and stood up again, bowed his waist and said with a smile: "In order to celebrate the better and better business of the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau in the future, let's all toast the prince together." Good no good? ”

"Okay, come on, come on." Everyone at the table raised their glasses and stood up, wanting to salute Zhao Xiu together.

Zhao Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down,

When the merchants saw Zhao Xiu waving his hand, as if he had something to say, they closed their mouths one after another and stood there quietly, "Come on, everyone be quiet, the prince has something to say." Qi Xing understood what Zhao Xiu meant and shouted loudly.

Zhao Xiu stroked his hair, and said with a smile: "I think everyone misunderstood, what I said about twenty-eight points is not what you think, I mean that I account for eighty percent, and all of you here only account for two percent." Do you understand? "Confused! There was not a single one of the people standing who was not stunned. Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau just invited them to join the gang when they divided two percent of the profit to the merchants, after several years of their crying poverty and threats, has come from Zhao Xiu's hands to two percent of the profit, now they have four percent of the profit in their hands. Now the profit in the hand is back to 20%.

These people are here to ask Zhao Xiu for silver today, why is there less silver in their hands in the end?

"No, you're not joking with us, are you? You're eighty percent and we're only twenty percent? There was another cry of confusion among the crowd, and confusion was followed by anger.

Zhao Xiu deliberately glanced at the person who spoke, nodded and said, "You heard it right, it is true that I account for eighty percent, and you can only have twenty percent." Many of the people who were watching Zhao Xiu became angry.

One of them couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at all, and asked loudly: "Lord Wang, if we didn't have a steady stream of iron and stone to the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau, the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau would not be able to practice fine iron at all, and it would not have been possible to have such a big benefit." Now you want me to only share 20% of the profits, and we can't accept it at all. The person who spoke was very resolute, and after speaking, he turned his head and didn't pay attention to Zhao Xiu, and sat down by himself to show his dissatisfaction.

What he said was indeed true, and it was indeed impossible to find iron ore in the entire territory of Liaozhou with the scientific and technological means of the time, let alone mining and refining. These merchants also relied on the fact that only they could transport iron ore to Liaozhou, so they had no fear, and when they heard that Zhao Xiu wanted eighty percent of the profits, they directly said that it was impossible to agree, and Tandu was very resolute.

The big fat man Qi Xing looked at Zhao Xiu's face, felt that something was wrong, and stood up and said tentatively: "Lord Wang, we set a year ago to divide it into six or four, and today we are not here because of anything else, it is really that we have taken too much risk and lost a lot of silver by transporting iron and stone for the Liaozhou Manufacturing Bureau over the years." That's why today I came to think that the prince wanted to live for money. What do you mean? ”
