Chapter 85: Deal
Except for several Shen County businessmen, they all looked at Xiao Mo nervously.
I don't know if Xiao Mo is playing with himself, anyway, everyone has such a feeling.
What the? We've all made such a bloody investment, and you can't help it? This iron ore matter, obviously you brought it up, will you have no choice?
Li Yuan's face was a little ugly, "My lord, Ming people don't say dark words, are we not doing enough!" ”
He was really anxious, for the sake of the iron mine, he gave it up.
"What did Li Yuanwai say?" Xiao Mo held the glass cup with great interest, and Li Bai said, 'Grape Wine Moonlight Cup', but he didn't think that he would experience it today.
"Your thoughts, this official knows, of course, after receiving your things, if I don't give you an explanation, I can't say it, right?" Xiao Mo smiled and said: "But first of all, I have to make it clear, the idea I gave you can be said to be worth ten thousand gold, but before that, we need to ...... three chapters of the law."
"Which three chapters?" Li Yuan is in a hurry, Xiao Mo is too good at selling Guanzi.
"First, secrecy, it's about whether you can monopolize it, which is very important, not for me, but for you...... Second, in this matter, the yamen also has to be involved, at least more than forty percent of the shares, but since you have given the official remuneration and are willing to take out the grain, then the forty percent of the yamen will not be wanted, but first say good, the commission, one percent of the annual income, the chamber of commerce must be handed over to the yamen...... What do you think? Xiao Mo looked at Li Yuan and gave him time to think about it.
"My lord, what kind of business is it?" Li Yuan still has to ask clearly, after all, this is the most important thing.
"That's it......" Xiao Mo took out the paperwork that Zhou Chang wrote to himself.
"Lime ......" Li Yuan was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it.
The lime at this time in the An Dynasty belonged to handicrafts, which were used to make some gadgets for people to play with, what profit could there be? How can it be compared to iron ore?
Xiao Mo glanced at Li Yuan and the others, shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate this lime, this official promises, as long as you agree, with the storage capacity of dolomite in Shen County, I'm afraid that you won't be able to mine it in ten lifetimes, and the profit is not as low as iron ore at all!" ”
"Oh?" Everyone was interested, but they didn't dare to rashly agree to the two points that Xiao Mo said.
had to come up with a killer idea, Xiao Mo asked irrelevant people to go out of the room, leaving only himself, Qiao Wenxuan and the squires.
"You also know that lime is pure and can be made into handicrafts, but there is one thing you don't know, in fact, lime is best used for construction, and painting walls is the best material. Xiao Mo took a shallow sip of wine and gave them a little time to think.
Painting the walls? Li Yuan and the others glanced at each other, didn't they use yellow clay to paint the walls?
Loess is cheap, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, it is ugly to paint on the walls, like yellow and white.
"You think about it, this official dares to guarantee, whether it is Luzhou, or Suzhou and Hangzhou, or even the capital, as long as the lime wall painting method is spread, the use of this stone will become more and more popular, and when the time comes, I am afraid that you will be in short supply, and the profit can be imagined!" After speaking, Xiao Mo stood up and then planned to leave.
Li Yuan: It is impossible for them to make a rash decision, and they must be given time to buffer and consider.
"Slow down, adults!" Seeing Xiao Mo away, Li Yuan glanced back at Qiao Wenxuan.
Since Li Yuan and the others let the Qiao family take a part of the matter, of course Qiao Wenxuan did not leave, seeing Li Yuan looking at him, Qiao Wenxuan smiled and said: "I also only knew this idea, and it is useless for Li Yuan to look at me outside...... However, as a junior, I would like to remind you here, Ziheng's words don't seem to have been missed, whether it is in Changle Town or Shen County! ”
What Qiao Wenxuan said is the truth, Shen County has not appeared **** so far, and a lot of credit should be credited to Xiao Mo, first he tried to solve the water source and stabilized the people of the three towns, and then he resettled the disaster victims and drove away the White Lotus Sect, and now, these squires seem to have been eaten to death by Xiao Mo......
Li Yuan glanced at everyone and said, "Don't speak, but talk about your thoughts!" ”
"What can you think?" Among the three moneymakers, the one who took the initiative to reduce the price last time gritted his teeth and said: "Since it was Lord Xiao's idea, we will do it, Lord Xiao can't harm the Qiao family!" ”
He is the eldest of the three money clerks, so when he talks, he also has a little bit of a decision.
There is no way, the shopkeeper Su is still locked in the yamen, his wife and children look for him several times a day, crying bitterly in front of the money clerk, the clerk is really annoyed, but the yamen does not let go of people, he has no choice but to try his best to please Xiao Mo.
"Dry? How? The forester snorted, you just do it, do it if you think it's child's play?
"I mean, if this lime were to be used to paint the walls, it might have worked wonders, and if it did, it would have done a lot, but to be on the safe side, it's better to give it a try!" It was the Great Zhou Wai who spoke.
"Try it?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, this is a solution.
When they had finished their deliberations, the next morning they went to buy lime and had it painted in a room by a craftsman.
It was also the first time that the craftsman had painted the walls with lime, and of course there were some flaws, but the flaws were not concealed, and the effect of the lime still came out.
The originally dim room was much brighter, and importantly, the lime was many times stronger than the coarse loess in terms of adsorption, durability and ornamentation.
This is enough, Li Yuan and the others sighed, three days have passed since entertaining Xiao Mo.
Glancing at everyone, Li Yuan said, "Everyone, get an idea!" It's been so many days, and if you don't make up your mind, I'm just afraid that Lord Xiao will change his hexagram! ”
"! You don't do it to our three brothers! The big money clerk looked at the wall outside, and was faintly surprised, since the effect came out, it means that what Xiao Mo said was not the truth, since Xiao Mo didn't lie to himself, when did Xiao Mo's words miss?
Xiao Moke said that the profit of this lime is higher than that of iron ore, and the dolomite in Shenxian County is enough for his people to mine for ten lifetimes.
Not only did Qian Yuanwai think so, but Li Yuan also thought about it.
"Then do it!" Gritting his teeth, Da Zhou also said a word.
"Good! Since everyone has no opinion, then tomorrow we will transport the grain to Lord Xiao, eight dollars for eight yuan, it is better than rotting in the warehouse! ”
Li Yuan and the others finally understood, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the lime is profitable or not, the important thing is Xiao Mo!
