45. Earn money! ---- Happy New Year
After getting up the next day, he went to the medicine hall, prepared the medicine and let the man grind it into powder and knead it into a pill, and called Shang Jin'er to bring the golden oil and the newly made pill to the East Market, and saw Du Yi Tizheng shouting and selling goods from the Western Regions.
After seeing Xiao Zheng, Du Yiti happily walked over and said: "Distinguished guest, I am happy for you to come again, you have brought such a beautiful wife to us and let us feel her face, her beauty is like a summer flower that brings us joy......" This guy's mouth is too broken.
When he arrived at this shop, Xiao Zheng sat on the blanket and asked, "Old Governor, hey, Du Yiti, is your shop the largest among the Hu people?" ”
"If you go back to customers, my store can't be said to be the biggest among all our Hu merchants, but it is definitely the largest in my business."
"That's good, I'll come over to talk to you about selling and buying pens today," Xiao Zheng said, took out two copper boxes from the baggage he brought, and handed them to him.
Du Yiti picked up a copper box and opened it, sniffed it, and said: "Guest, this is a panacea, a good medicine for the summer, and now it is only circulated and used in the circle of the nobles and lords of the Tang Dynasty. Wait, guest, you said this thing could be sold to me in large quantities? ”。
This guy reacted instantly, and asked with a surprised expression.
"That's, otherwise what I'm looking for you for, not only is this medicine ready to sell you, I also have a medicine called Rendan, this medicine is mainly used to clear the plague and detoxify the fever, and it is the most effective for people who travel long distances to clear the brain and refresh the mind, you can try it with one pill first."
Du Yiti took the pill and put it in his mouth for a while and praised: "It is indeed a good medicine!" ”。
"Distinguished guest, how did you find these two medicines, since you are making a deal, you have to make me believe that you have the ability before I am willing to pay to cooperate with you."
"Because these two medicines are made by my family, one for external use and one for internal use, as long as I want, I can sell you as much as I want," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Looking at Du Yiti's somewhat skeptical eyes, Xiao Zheng continued: "I will give you the exclusive right to operate these two things for five years, which means that in the past, these two medicines in the Western Regions were only sold to you in the future, as for who you buy again, and how much money you buy, that is your business, but you have to think about the cost of this exclusive operation and the cost of buying medicine before returning to me." If you want to get me at will, then I'll immediately find someone else to cooperate. Also, if you can afford to eat my goods alone, I can take both of these goods that you ship out duty-free."
Hearing Xiao Zheng say this, Du Yi stood up and said to Xiao Zheng in surprise: "Distinguished guest, you can't talk nonsense, if you sell us Wanjin Butter and this Ren Dan, I still believe it, but you can be exempt from taxes, you will be a bit of a big talker."
Xiao Zheng didn't speak, took a box from Jin'er's hand, took out the official seal and official talisman inside, and said to Du Yiti: "Others can't avoid your taxes, but I can really give you exemption, and below is Xiao Zheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty Yuguo and the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
After reading the seal, the beads of sweat on Du Yiti's forehead came down. Hurriedly stood up straight, covered his chest with his left hand, bowed deeply to Xiao Zheng, and said: "Honorable Supreme Grandfather of the Tang Kingdom, I feel extremely honored by your arrival, you are like a jewel hidden in the desert, and he has no due light." The villain is blind and doesn't see it, your medical skills are being praised throughout Chang'an City, the villain should not suspect you, please allow me to do my best to be a landlord" This guy finished speaking and commanded the servant next to him.
After a while, the two orchids brought two cans of chilled wine to the table, and a manservant behind them also brought two roast leg of lamb to the table, and the wine did have the taste of the wine of later generations, sweet and delicious, and the cut piece of mutton obviously smelled cumin sprinkled on it,
"Good wine, good meat!" Xiao Zheng praised the excited Duyi and raised his beard high.
Full of wine and food, Du Yiti asked Xiao Zheng to wait for a while and went to the backyard, and after a while, he came out and said: "Lord Guogong, just now I asked our colleagues, they are very interested in this business, everyone agrees to trade with you, we just discussed, buy these two kinds of drugs with you 50,000 yuan every year, if you can really give us tax exemption, we will set 50,000 yuan for exclusive operation, and if you give us ten years of exclusive rights and tax exemption, we will add another 70,000 yuan."
"The deal, but I'm in a hurry to use the money, you have to pay the tax exemption and exclusive rights to the Ministry of Civil Affairs first, and I also want a one-year deposit of 50,000 yuan for these two medicines."
"This ....., my lord, we gave you so much money without seeing anything, with all due respect, it is a bit bad for us," Du Yiti said with some difficulty.
"Don't worry, I will sign a contract with you in the name of the country and announce it to the world, I can't ruin the credit of the court for your interests, tomorrow you will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to sign the seal after drawing up the contract, and at the same time, in order to show our sincerity, I will make this matter clear to our emperor, as long as you only send these materials to the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty, our army will also ensure your safety."
"Deal!" This time, the governor didn't even think about it, and it would be stupid if such a good condition shouldn't be.
Before leaving, Xiao Zheng said to Du Yiti: "This wine is good, I'll take two cans with me, and get me some of the seasoning you spilled on the roast leg of lamb."
"No problem, Grandpa Guo" After a while, Du Yi came over with two jars and a pack of cumin, and a wooden box more than an inch thick under his armpit. handed the box to Xiao Zheng and said: "This is a small gift for you, please accept it, I wish us a happy cooperation."
"Don't worry, tomorrow morning you go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is the waist card I gave you, and then we will tell the guards that you can go directly to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but say that you will sign a contract with one hand and pay the money with the other."
"Don't worry, my lord, you Han people are a promise, and we Hu Shang are also a good word" It seems that this guy knows a lot of Chinese.
Before leaving, Xiao Zheng said to Du Yiti: "I also told you that there is a secret of the golden oil, you come here" Xiao Zheng whispered to Du Yiti.
"And if it works, I'll try it at night," the guy said with a wicked smile
"That's right, I don't tell him in ordinary people, well, I'll be waiting for you in the Ministry of Civil Affairs early tomorrow morning."
Walking to the street, Jin'er took Xiao Zheng's arm and jumped up and down like a little girl and said happily: "My husband is really capable, he has earned so much money in such a short time, no wonder Aya said that you gave birth to a copper coin head."
patted Jin'er and said, "Come less, do you think your husband has earned it?" It is they who really make money, although the two medicines can be sold for money, but the meaning of this tax exemption is greater, and in the future, they will make money is equivalent to being tied to my Datang, and the business opportunities here are immeasurable. Our family's panacea doesn't look expensive, if it goes to the Western Regions, it will be an incredible price, let's say that our Tang Dynasty silk, a silk can be exchanged for ten virgin slaves when it arrives in Persia."
"It's not serious," Jin'er said with a twist of his arm.
asked the two family members to escort Jin'er to the palace to find the eldest grandson, and carried the wine and the wooden box to the entrance of the civil department.
"Damn, if it weren't for your Lao Cheng to stop him, Lao Tzu would have to tear down his bird people's department, and it would be so hard to ask for money, as if this money was the same as his mother's family" There was a voice from the door, how could he be scolded before he went out.
When I entered the door, I just walked opposite to Yu Chi Laohei and Cheng Yanjin, "Two, what's the matter, what is the matter with the left and right generals of Wuwei to mention it in person, no need to scold, come, the best grapes from the Western Regions, Tianzheng drink two sips to extinguish the fire, just one can per person."
"Good wine! Just rush to your wine, Lao Tzu's fire against your civil ministry today is gone, otherwise Lao Tzu will have to smoke Du Ruhui," Yu Chi Laohei said with two sips of wine while carrying the jar.
When I asked Wei Chi Laohei, I knew that Li Shimin had approved 20,000 yuan of military salaries for the left and right military guards, 10,000 was the salary and 10,000 yuan was used to improve the ordnance city defense.
The saints have all criticized you, and Du Ruhui dares not to give it? At that time, Yu Chi Lao Hei jumped like thunder, grabbed Lao Du and was about to use force, but fortunately he was stopped by Cheng Biting Jin and dragging him alive, Lao Du didn't fight back, and threw another sentence stubbornly: "There is no money to kill!" So in desperation, the two of them came out and happened to meet Xiao Zheng.
"If you are as good at talking as you Mr. Xiao, if Lao Tzu doesn't have money, he will be smooth, that guy has become an iron rooster, and he can't pull out a single hair, and it's quite hard, damn it" The two scolded and walked away with wine.
When I entered the lobby, I saw that pens and case files were spilled on the ground, several subordinate officials were cleaning up, and Du Ruhui was kneeling in front of the desk and sulking.
"Okay Lao Du, I know what's going on, isn't there still a little money in the treasury of Taifu Temple, and it's not that there is no 20,000 yuan, if you don't give it to him, it's over, and you can't be angry."
"To him?! Lord Xiao, people don't know the price of firewood and rice, why don't you know the price of firewood and rice when you become a family? ! I gave him 20,000 yuan for the left and right guards, and what should I do if other departments ask me for money? This ten thousand, those twenty thousand, can be tossed a few times, and if there is no money, if there is an emergency, the saint urgently needs money, where can Lao Tzu find money, and ask you Lord Xiao for it? "It's rare for Du Ru to be so angry and ruined.
"Okay, okay, Master Du, I'll look for the money, this thing was given to me by a Hu businessman, now I'll give it to you, don't be angry, I should give you a reward for grievances" said and handed over the wooden box in his hand.
"What's that?" Du Ruhui took it and asked.
"I don't know, I haven't opened it yet."
"Hiss ....." Du Ruhui opened it and took a breath of cool air, waited for a while and said to Xiao Zheng: "Brother Xiao, you didn't do anything corrupt and perverted the law, right?" Such a valuable gift, people will give it to you casually? ”。
"I see what kind of treasure scares you like this" Xiao Zheng looked into the inner box, and when he saw the things inside, his nose was almost crooked.
