"More than two million taels?" In the study, Li Ji looked at Xiao Mo excitedly. 【&n】

"My lord......" Xiao Mo wiped his sweat, looked at Li Ji's harazi who was about to stay with some embarrassment, and said in his heart, Lord Li, what's wrong? More than two million taels of silver, isn't it like this? Besides, this money hasn't arrived yet, and even if it does, it's not your own, it's all going to be handed over!

After being excited, Li Ji said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng! I really want to thank you, more than two million taels, uh...... It's hard to imagine that it will exceed that number in the future! ”

"Thank me?" Xiao Mo understood, it turned out that what Li Ji was excited about was his political achievements!

Yes, if the proceeds from the sale of iron ore this time are handed over to the state treasury, one can imagine how much repercussions it will cause in the government and the opposition.

A county town with three years of drought and less than 10,000 households can still pay millions of taels of silver! What is this concept?

"Ziheng!" After Li Ji calmed down, he returned to his usual appearance and instructed Xiao Mo: "This official didn't look at the wrong person!" Ziheng is really a wise man, and this time the iron mine matter depends on Ziheng! It's best to get rid of these merchants as soon as possible! ”

Xiao Mo nodded, although Li Ji didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Mo also knew that Li Ji wanted to make his political achievements before August, when his term of office was about to expire!

After thinking about it, Li Ji said to Xiao Mo: "When the time comes, this official will definitely not forget Ziheng!" ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "My lord Yu Xiao Mo has the grace of knowing him, so there is no need to say thank you!" Besides, after dealing with the affairs of Shen County, Xiao Mo also ......"

Shaking his head, Xiao Mo sighed. "I'm afraid I can't go with the adults!"

"What's wrong?" Li Ji wondered, and said in his heart, isn't he good enough for him?

Xiao Mo glanced at Li Ji, if it weren't for you, there would be so many things if you had nothing to do to expose Yun Xue's identity? complained in his heart, but Li Ji pretended to be confused about himself in Yunxue's matter, and Xiao Mo couldn't say it clearly, so he could only say to Li Ji: "Adults forgot?" The identity of a student or a talent is still ...... after all. It's to read! ”

I see! Li Ji nodded and said, "You really can't waste your studies!" When it came to his studies, Li Ji suddenly came to his senses again: "Ziheng has been in the yamen for so long, and I don't know how well you are doing in your Jingyi homework, or I will take the test for you now?" ”

Right now? Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "My lord, I was bedridden for three years, and then I dealt with county affairs...... How long has it been since you read a book? ”

"That's it!" Li Ji was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to accept Xiao Mo as a student, but Xiao Mo didn't accept the offer, he was also a little helpless, after Yi Xing Shan, Li Ji lost his interest in chatting, and picked up a teacup to Xiao Mo!

Xiao Mo and Li Ji had a drink and left the study......

Back in the house, seeing Lin Yiye, Xiao Mo asked, "Liang An, how is it?" ”

Lin Yiye pointed to the Sihu room and said, "I invited you to the people, but ......"

"How?" Xiao Mo smiled: "They are not willing to cooperate? ”

"Hmm!" Lin Yiye was a little embarrassed, after all, this was the first time he didn't do anything in front of Xiao Mo.

"It's okay!" Xiao Mo is very relaxed, since these businessmen are willing to come to the county government, it means that they are still unwilling to leave Shen County like this, since they are unwilling, it will be easy to do!

Pushing away the people in the house, Xiao Mo walked in with a straight face.

When the four Zhejiang businessmen saw Xiao Mo, they were about to get up, Xiao Mo waved his hand to them and said, "Hypocrisy is free!" ”

The merchants sat down awkwardly, they were also a little anxious, this afternoon, back to the post station, whether it was Zhejiang merchants or Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, they were talking about their results, but no one came to sympathize with them!

It's no wonder that businessmen are profit-oriented, these four people angered Xiao Mo, and after seeing Xiao Mo's tough wrists, they all learned to be obedient! Now that they can get iron ore, who will get close to them?

"At the auction tomorrow morning, the official decided to leave four iron mines, after all, you have come from afar, and the officials are not good for everyone to return empty-handed, but whether you want this iron ore or not, it depends on your sincerity!" Xiao Mo doesn't go around the bend with them, he deals with businessmen, what's the use of going around the bend? Straightforward is the most effective when it is.

Hearing that there was hope again, the merchants' eyes lit up and they all rejoiced.

"I wonder what the adults want?" Someone still calmed down and asked.

"It's very simple, in terms of price, the official will give you a fair price, but you have to do one thing for the official!"

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"Tomorrow, this official will let you also participate in the auction, but there is one thing, you don't need to participate in the bidding of other iron mines, but the last four iron mines, you must fight to the death with the bidder, the price is less than 800,000 taels or more, you must not let go, understand?"

"800,000 taels......" The merchants looked at each other, but they didn't know what Xiao Mo's intention was in doing this.

"My lord, what if the other party shouldn't?"

"Shouldn't?" Xiao Mo laughed, "If it shouldn't be priced, it shouldn't be, those four iron mines, I believe you also want to dye it!" ”

"Good! Adults have to talk about it! ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" Xiao Mo laughed, and then sent the guests off.

After the four merchants left, Lin Yiye walked in and asked, "Ziheng, there won't be any problems with them, right?" ”

"No!" Xiao Mo shook his head and said firmly: "After this afternoon, they already know who has the final say in Shen County, they won't be so stupid, and they went to find Pu Wen and them, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, they have nothing to do with it, businessmen are very profitable, don't think that one person and one iron mine can satisfy them, they can't wait to snatch these four big iron mines from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce or Pu Wen!" ”

Lin Yiye nodded, and suddenly admired Xiao Mo!

That's what you're capable of! Xiao Mo can make the businessmen obey in a few words.

In fact, in the final analysis, Xiao Mo was just taking advantage of their greedy nature!

Man is a special animal, but no matter how special it is, its nature cannot be changed. Xiao Mo took advantage of this, first broke up the alliance of the merchants with random punches, then secretly instructed them to compete for the price, and finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman!
