Chapter 29: Collusion (Part II)

Yu Tonghai's movements were very fast, and after a while, he led a middle-aged man in his forties and more than seven feet tall into the main hall, and then straightened his face and threatened loudly, "It's my lord sitting in the hall, you are a little careful, it's better not to play in front of him, otherwise hum." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, even if the grass people borrow three guts, they don't dare to pick up the tiger whiskers." Zhang Zhao, the big shopkeeper of the trading bank, immediately took half a step back, waved his hand in response, and then turned his body to Zhu Chongjiu, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed heavily, "Zhang Zhao, the grass people, I have seen the chief manager, I wish the chief manager a long time of martial arts and victory." ”

"Well, get up and talk." Zhu Chongjiu frowned, tried his best to pretend to be majestic, and ordered in a deep voice, "Tonghai, let someone move a chair for him." ”

"In front of the chief manager, how can there be a seat for the grass people." Zhang Zhaoxun raised his head and waved his hand vigorously, "Kill, kill, please take back your life." ”

"If you want to sit, you will sit." Yu Tonghai stretched out his hand and grabbed this person's arm, and pulled it upwards fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense, we Huai'an Army, don't kneel and salute." ”

"Then, then thank you for the chief Ron." Zhang Zhao first pretended to struggle twice, then stood up, and gave Zhu Chongjiu a long bow again, and finally, he looked around, and sat on the wooden chair brought by the soldiers.

"Tonghai, go to the backyard and ask the kitchen to bring a pot of tea." Zhu Chongjiu looked him up and down a few times, and continued to command unhurriedly.

The next life is a typical northern face, honest and a little resolute, but Zhu Chongjiu, who has the memory of two lives, will never dare to take it lightly because the other party has a simple appearance, in his opinion, can collude with high-ranking officials, and search for the white gloves of the people's fat and ointment, all of them are traitors and evildoers, who think they are loyal and honest, they will definitely end up being devoured by even the bones and slag.

"Grass people, how can grass people be virtuous, dare to work in charge of tea, torture and kill, torture and kill." When Zhang Zhao spit out kind words in a large string, he secretly looked at Zhu Chongjiu.

What he saw was a bronze smiling face, not much murderous, and even with a touch of immaturity that was difficult to hide, thick fingers and an overly burly figure, proving that this person was indeed like the legend, born in the market, and had been engaged in a cheap business for a long time, but the light in his eyes occasionally flashed, but at the same time it gave Zhang Zhao a lot of pressure, as if anything he thought in his heart was clearly seen at a glance.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, although relaxed, since you are here to discuss business with Zhu, you are Zhu's guest, so you don't have to be too polite." After looking at each other up and down for a while, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand, smiling and encouraging.

"Then, the grass people, thank you for the kindness of the chief manager." Zhang Zhao quickly stood up again and waved at Zhu Chongjiu again.

At this moment, both sides had a tentative intention in their hearts, so a few polite words were extremely boring, and in the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the room became awkward, and anything else was not right.

Fortunately, this embarrassing atmosphere did not last too long, and soon, Yu Tonghai ran back with a huge copper kettle, Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong, three confidants, were also ordered to arrive, Zhu Chongjiu introduced the three of them to the "distinguished guest", and then, the guest and the host were polite again, and after all the red tape was tossed, the previous embarrassing atmosphere had been swept away.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, please use it slowly, my Huai'an Army has never deliberately embarrassed anyone, even if your owner is a high-ranking official in the capital, as long as you don't take the initiative to make trouble, the caravan has not violated the laws of my Huai'an Army, so there is no need to think about those miscellaneous things." Zhu Chongjiu first drank a few sips of hot tea, and then smiled and gave Zhang Zhao a reassuring pill.

"The grass people are far away in the north, and they have also heard of the benevolent name of Manager Zhu, so the grass people are not worried about their goods at all." Zhang Zhao immediately put the teacup on the ground, then raised his hand, and said loudly, "The grass people are just, I just want to ask for my peers, in the future, how much water will be pumped by the general manager from Jiaozhou Bay to the sea, and after the grass people know, they will have a charter to arrange their respective goods to be loaded on the ship." ”

"One out of ten is a rule, as long as Jiaozhou Bay is still in the hands of my Huai'an army for one day, it will not change again." Zhu Chongjiu didn't even think about it, so he quickly accepted the offer.

When he landed, the generosity on Zhang Zhao's face disappeared in an instant, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, "The chief manager is gracious, the sea is stormy, and there are many dangers along the way, ten ships are released, and five can come back safely, which is already a blessing. ”

"Yes, one out of thirty, it's just in Quanzhou City, several other cities, Zhu remembers that it should be fifteen, could it be that Zhou is wrong" Zhu Chongjiu smiled and slowly counterattacked.

"Therefore, the number of municipal divisions in the imperial court has been reduced from more than ten at the beginning to three now, but the grass people and others are still forced to secretly go to the sea." Zhang Zhao's face turned slightly red, he didn't dare to make a hard connection, and quickly changed the direction.

This sentence, the meaning of the threat is very strong, the Mengyuan Imperial Court's city shipping division fifteen draws one, so they have to find their own port to go to sea, escape the tariff, so that those city ships are useless, and finally have to be cut off by the Mengyuan court itself, if the Huai'an army insists on one out of ten, they will also deal with the same, abandon Jiaozhou, the outlet to the sea, so that the Huai'an Governor's Mansion can not receive a penny.

Immediately, Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong frowned, glared angrily at Zhang Zhao, the big shopkeeper of the firm, and were about to reprimand, but Zhu Chongjiu's faint voice came from his ears, "In this case, why don't you let your goods go straight to sale in the future, over there, it seems that there has never been a market manager in charge, as long as you do it properly, you don't need to pay a penny, Zhu Mou here, there is no need to add any manpower, take care of the troubles of you traders." ”

"This" Zhang Zhao didn't expect the legendary mercenary Zhu Fozi, who suddenly felt troublesome about counting money, and was stunned, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

"I'm a single draw, whether it's inbound or outbound, and no matter how much your goods are sold elsewhere." Zhu Chongjiu glanced at him lightly, and slowly returned the move, "If you have ever been to Huai'an and Yangzhou, you should know that the rules mentioned by Zhu are not set for you alone. ”

After that, no matter what Zhang Zhao's reaction was, he picked up the teacup and savored it.

"Where to go, Shopkeeper Zhang decides for himself, and our Huai'an Army will never force people." Feng Guoyong also smiled and helped, and then learned from Zhu Chongjiu's appearance and drank tea slowly.

Chen Ji and Zhang Yi, although they were confused, but seeing that their father-in-law was so calm, they also knew in their hearts that the surname Zhang might not take advantage of the slightest advantage in the first round of negotiations, so they also smiled and turned their eyes and energy to the teacup.

The entire main hall of the Daru Huachi Yamen became extremely quiet in a blink of an eye, except for the occasional sound of waves and wind entering through the window, there was no longer the slightest noise.

The ratio of one out of ten is the tax rate that has passed the test of time in Yangzhou and Huai'an, although at the beginning, there were many traders who jumped up to express their opposition, but with the implementation of the new tax system, everyone has slowly all stopped, the reason is very simple, although the tax rate of the Mengyuan government is on the surface of thirty draws, inside, but it has added a single draw, double draw, customs consumption, miscellaneous donations and a number of tricks, etc., which have to be calculated, even if the imperial court has issued a preferential treatment in Quanzhou City, the tax rate of export goods is as high as more than two percentAs for the tax rate on imported goods, it will be doubled.

The tax rate of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion is a genuine one-tenth, and after all the goods have been pumped once, they will not be pumped a second time, and any local government has no right to set up a card to rub oil, so compared with the two, the real tax rate stipulated by the Huaiyang Governor is much lower than that of Mengyuan.

Zhu Chongjiu is not afraid of the opponent's nonsense.

The guy surnamed Zhang has put so much effort into it, it must not be just to save a little tariff, at the moment the two sides are watching the war of words and swords, in fact, it is just to continue to test each other, the real business to be done is not Haimao at all, this point, Zhu Chongjiu believes that he is not wrong, and he also believes that the other party knows very well in his heart.

Sure enough, just after just a minute or two, Zhang Zhao began to take the initiative to give in, gritted his teeth, and pretended to be extremely painful and said, "Well, since the rules of the chief manager's side cannot be changed, the grass people and grass people can only admit it." ”

"Don't be reluctant." Zhu Chongjiu put down the teacup and waved his hand with a smile, "Since you are here to talk about business with Zhu, of course it is you and I who are willing to do so for a long time, if it is just Zhu who is unilaterally happy, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be a lot of trouble." ”

When the words fell, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly turned better, and he changed several colors one after another before he smiled and arched his hand, "The chief manager laughed, grass people, how dare the grass people go back on their word to the chief manager, the grass people just now, they were in a hurry just now, so they said the wrong thing, the grass people, the grass people, the grass people, please forgive the general manager." ”

"Forget it, if you talk about business, it will inevitably ask for a price and pay back on the ground." Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand with a smile and responded with a pleasant face, "But"

"But nothing." Zhang Zhao immediately shuddered in his heart, and blurted out the words of questioning.

"But if someone is not sincere, no matter how much they bargain, it is a waste of saliva, it is better to be serious from the beginning, shopkeeper Zhang, do you think the words of this manager are reasonable."

"Yes, yes, the chief manager said it perfectly." The beads of sweat on Zhang Zhao's forehead seeped out one by one, and he quickly jumped down from the stool and arched his hands in response.

Although from the very beginning, he did not dare to underestimate his opponent, but he never thought that this Zhu Fozi's ability to do business was still far above the march and battle, and after a few rounds, he would be overstretched by the old Jianghu who had been in the shopping mall for many years.

Where did he think that the Zhu Fozi in front of him was a person with the memory of two lives, in addition to making all kinds of money-making objects, what he was best at was probably doing business with people, from Xuzhou to Huai'an, and all the way to Yangzhou, even if he fought with Shen Wansan, he didn't suffer any losses, let alone with him, a typical "system" official and businessman.

However, for businessmen, winning or losing is a common thing, as long as they have not exited, it cannot be regarded as a complete defeat, so after a while, Zhang Zhao, the big shopkeeper of Jiaozhou Commercial Bank, reinvigorated his spirits, and threw his hand at Zhu Chongjiu, smiling, "The general manager forgives the sin, the grass people were greedy just now, and the general manager should actually know that the grass people originally shipped from Jiaozhou, and they did not pay taxes to anyone at all, so they were confused just now, and they were a little confused, and they were offended, and I hope the general manager will bear with me." ”

"The Great Yuan Dynasty does not levy your taxes, it is a matter of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Zhu here, has never made an exception for anyone, if you feel a loss, even if you find a port to go to sea from elsewhere, it must be very easy for your master." Zhu Chongjiu smiled and faked his words.

"I won't look for it anymore, I won't look for it again, my master, in fact, has always admired Mr. Zhu very much, and would rather spend more money and make friends with Mr. Zhu." Zhang Zhao immediately took over his words and responded loudly.

The drama is here, not only Feng Guoyong, who used to help the characters of the green forest sell their stolen goods, but also Zhang Yi and Chen Ji, two relatively pure readers, also understand that the negotiation is finally about to enter the main topic, so they are full of spirit and watch the battle attentively.

I saw Zhu Chongjiu take a few sips of tea slowly, and then turned his gaze to his opponent again, and asked with a smile, "Oh, how do you say this, can Shopkeeper Zhang say it in detail." ”

Zhang Zhaoxun looked around, and then responded with a wink, "My master has always thought that the reason why Manager Zhu raised troops was because the court persecuted him too much, but now in the court, from top to bottom, there are a group of blind people, so that heroes and heroes have empty skills, but there is no future, although my master sympathizes with the situation of Manager Zhu and other red turban heroes, but he is alone, and he does not dare to take the initiative to express it publicly." ”

"So, your master is a visionary." Zhu Chongjiu shook his head, revealing a suspicious look.

Zhang Zhao straightened his chest and responded proudly with a proud face, "It's not just visionary, my master is far from being able to compare with the thief of the country in terms of mind and temperament, or ability and vision. ”

"Poof." Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong all put down the teacup quickly, twisted their heads to the side, and took great effort to avoid spraying the tea on their front placket.

The night is not closed, the road is not forgotten, there is such a beautiful place in the world, since the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty, there have been corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are piles of thieves in the countryside, even in the capital, there are only a handful of days without curfew in a year, how can there be the kind of paradise that Zhang Zhao said, if there is really anything, the people have long been with their families and flocked to vote, how is it possible, until now it has not been known by the outside world,
