Chapter 70: Where Are the Three Thousand Fandels (2)
Xiao Zheng asked the three Hu Shangquan smiled like this, and Samai said in a blunt official dialect: "Respected Guogong, we are from the Tang Kingdom to the Western Regions, and Gaochang Country is the place where we must pass through, and we must have a good relationship if we want to pass through their checkpoints, and their nobles also like our goods and the goods of the Tang Kingdom, and I am very familiar with Ahed with them, including their king."
"Oh, that's easy to do," Xiao Zheng said with a long sigh of relief.
"There is a crop in their country called white stacks, and we call it cotton, you know."
"My lord is really knowledgeable, and there is indeed a plant called white stacks," Ahed praised.
"That's good, I'm buying this thing in large quantities, and it's unlimited, the more the better, are you two willing to do it?"
Xiao Zheng said this, the two of them were a little difficult, although this thing is everywhere in Gaochang, but it is not a long way to transport it, and it is inconvenient to move in a large volume, the asking price is low, and the asking price is high, I am afraid that I am sorry Xiao Zheng.
It seems that although the two are doing business, they really don't have the intention of cheating people, which also makes Xiao Zheng feel a lot more relieved about the two.
"There is nothing wrong with the two of them in business, and they must pay attention to making money in business, and the reason why they are unwilling to pull it bluntly is that there is no money to make, but let's change the way, the two of them just need to pull the white stacks over, and one stone of white stacks for a pound of Luoyang Chun" said and smiled and flicked the liquor bottle on the table.
When Samai heard that the chopsticks had fallen to the ground, he stammered and said: "Lord Guogong, the villain is a wine seller, from the villain's point of view, this wine can only be brewed by the true god as supreme delicious, if you can really exchange this wine with the villains for white stacks, I will definitely do it, and I will never regret it, but how do you get this wine?" ”。
"Because I opened this restaurant," Xiao Zheng said with a laugh.......
"My lord, you are simply a business wizard, and the villain admires you for the five-body throw", the three Hu businessmen were full of admiration after listening to Xiao Zheng's words.
"Don't say anything about sycophants, but it is extremely difficult for me to brew this wine, and the amount is not too large, and I have designated that half of the wine I supply you will be bartered, part of it will be exchanged for white stacks, and part of it will be you go to the Western Regions to exchange for war horses for me, and it doesn't matter if you get it from the Turks or from Tuyuhun. However, after your war horses are brought in, I can issue tax-free documents for you, and you can sell those I can't buy to the people. The rest is the old rule, this wine is sold here for twenty and a half catties, I will give you a 7% discount, this time it is five years of exclusivity plus tax exemption, you can make a price."
"Two hundred thousand!" Samai is a wine businessman, and he knows how much profit and business opportunities there are here, so he didn't even hesitate to quote this price.
"No, you can't have such a big business alone, otherwise the true god will punish you for your greed" The remaining two were a little anxious.
"A few people, don't argue, porcelain, silk, and spices are all great big business, but it's not time yet, Samai, you don't have to swallow it alone, how to divide it and discuss it after you go back, I need a strong team of businessmen, not a certain person, our business will still grow in the future, do you understand?"
After discussing it and having enough food and drink, he called Xiao Hai and Zhou Bingrui over, and gave Du Yi a small silver medal in front of the two of them, saying that he would book a room and show this silver medal to the guys in the store later, so he didn't have to wait so long.
This moved Du Yiti and almost knelt down, the masters who can come here to eat in the private room are all top wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, and his humble Hu Shang can be treated equally by Xiao Zheng, instead of using him as a tool to make money, which is enough to make him feel Xiao Zheng's sincerity.
When he went out, Xiao Zheng asked Samai to send the top wine in the store to Yingzhou Pavilion, and collected it all according to the market price, which made Samai receive a surprise again.
Out of the door, Du Yiti pulled Xiao Zheng aside and handed him a few pieces of paper and said: "Dear Lord Guogong, this is the news that my caravan came back from the Turks, and many of them are also from their own people, not necessarily accurate, now the small ones will give these to you."
patted Du Yiti on the shoulder and said: "Good job, if there is really valuable information in it, I will report it to our emperor, your information helped us a lot last time, and I will reward you at that time, and you can also talk to your two partners, and let them help us do the same thing, but you don't eat inside and out, if you really let me know, you will ......" After speaking, Xiao Zheng gestured with his hand to kill.
After hearing this, Du Yiti was so frightened that he woke up halfway, and hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Grandpa Guo, I swear to our true god that the villain will never do anything to betray Datang, and besides, all the villain's family property is in Datang, how can he do something to betray Datang, please rest assured."
"That's good, don't worry, if you really make a great contribution, I will let our emperor confer you an official position" Xiao Zheng said with fright.
When I got on the bus, I found that there were a few more boxes on the car, needless to say, they were sent by a few Hu merchants. When I got home, it was time to hold the lamp, and when I entered the house, I found that the atmosphere was not right, Xiao's mother sat on the chair with a serious face, and Jin'er sat next to her mother-in-law with a straight stomach, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and it seemed that she had just cried.
What's the matter, Xiao Zheng was wondering in his heart, Xiao's mother opened her mouth and said, "Zheng'er, I heard that the sage gave you a lot of palace maids?" ”。
News spreads so fast? I had to reply, "yes, what's wrong?" Mother".
Jin'er heard Xiao Zheng admit it so happily, so she cried out, and said in a choked voice while crying: "Mother, have you seen it, the family Fang Xiang and General Wei Chi know that the wife of the chaff does not go to court, only he has no conscience, his daughter-in-law is still pregnant, and he will accept the beauty given to him by the saint, you have only been rich for a few days, have you forgotten Aya's spirit in the sky?" ”
Xiao Zheng's head was big for a while after hearing this, what kind of mess was this, and he hurriedly explained to his wife and Jin'er, and it took a long time to comfort Jin'er.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier, today Jin'er came back from the medicine hall and cried all the way, saying that the saint also gave you a beauty, since it is official business, forget it, don't care about the mother, daughter-in-law, you should also go back to rest, don't listen to the wind and rain in the future, the two of them must trust each other" Waiting for Xiao Zheng to explain the real situation, Xiao's mother said with a smile.
After coaxing Jin'er away, Xiao's mother stopped Xiao Zheng and said, "Zheng'er, why don't you pick a few good-looking ones from inside and take them to the house as concubines?" ”
"Mother, you just supported Jin'er, why did you just turn your face and let your son do this?"
"Son, you and Jin'er have only had a result now, this heir is thin, you see how much our family suffered when the spring ploughing ceremony, you don't have a son and a half daughter for your mother now. If you look at the saints who are similar to you, they don't know that you are three years old and have five children, so you don't have to worry about it."
"That son won't be able to think of it if he really accepts a concubine."
"Then persuade my mother, rest assured, my mother will definitely persuade Jin'er," Xiao's mother said with her eyes shining.
"Forget it, the child doesn't have that mind, mother, your old man dares to sleep tightly."
When he returned to his room and looked at Jin'er and laughed vigorously, Jin'er pouted and said, "You are still laughing, now Chang'an is spreading that your Ministry of Civil Affairs is going to send palace maids to all the princesses."
"Don't worry, we don't want any of them, okay," he said, touching Jin'er's bulging belly.
Jin'er hugged Xiao Zheng tightly and said, "That's what you said, you are not allowed to bring any of them to the house, not outside."
"Good! Good! From now on, I only love you, spoil you, I won't lie to you, I will do everything I promise you, everything I say to you is the truth...... I will coax you to be happy, and I will always think you are the most beautiful,...... In my heart, there is only you! Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered those classic lines.
Jin'er buried her head in Xiao Zheng's chest, closed her eyes and whispered: "Husband, what you said is so good, Jin'er hasn't heard you talk to me like this for a long time."
"Okay, it's not early, let's go to sleep" Xiao Zheng kissed Jin'er's face and said.
"You have to carry me up to ......."
