Chapter 493: [Buy Your Soul!] 】
Get up early and play a trip to Xiang Jiaquan, and then eat half a pot of stewed mutton alone, drink three jars of old wine weighing five catties, and soak in a beautiful bath, although it is not a petal goat milk bath, the water is hot enough, after sweating, sit in the wooden basin and take a nap for a while and then open your eyes, suddenly full of energy, Xiang Meng, who has never understood what is the taste of literati, now feels that the spring breeze is fragrant, the sunshine is warm, and he wants to write a poem happily
Of course, the result is that he can't write anything, this Xiang family's rare martial arts and business genius beats people to do business, but he has no literary talent, the old rhetoric can't be understood, and the new poems invented by Bai Dong can't be done, so he was dull for a long time, and he could only yell 'Happy!' A carp jumped out of the wooden basin, took the clothes given by the maid, wrapped himself, wiped the water on his face with a cloth towel, and asked the steward of the Xiang family waiting in a loud voice: "What is the price of silver today?" Also, will the discussion of the 'Huaxia Banking Division' be held the day after tomorrow? ”
"I just received a letter from Danyang, and the discussion of the General Department of Huaxia Silver will be held the day after tomorrow, in addition to those countries that support the Bai family, the families that own silver mines have also received invitations. It's just that they didn't know that the head of the family had come to Luoyi, but they sent the letter to Danyang a month ago, so the matter was too big, so Cheng Gong sent a special person to deliver it quickly, but fortunately there was no delay. ”
The manager said with a smile: "The General Department of Huaxia Silver is only afraid that we don't know about the fact that we are secretly buying silver coins, but we still have to invite the head of the family and the Korean Zhang Gong, which shows that Bai Dong is already poor in skills." Today came the good news, the price of silver in the market has reached four copper to one and a half taels of silver, this is not important, the important thing is that the Bai family's trading base and Fenghui money bank have had to increase the copper-silver ratio to seven copper to one, and now everyone in the world is complaining about the Bai family. The head of the family, this is a good opportunity, before we secretly 'buy back and sell' silver was discovered by Bai Dong, and actually came up with a way to register and buy, in order to prevent us from secretly using means, and even used the means of household registration in various countries, now the price of silver has been pulled up by us, it can be seen that there is not much silver in his hands, once the supply of silver is cut off, what is the price of silver in the future, is not what we say? It's just that those copper and iron ore owners have been a little dissatisfied recently, saying that we have excessively raised the price of silver, but it seems that their copper and iron are not worth much."
Xiang Meng snorted coldly: "A bunch of fools! Sue them for me, copper and iron are far more practical than silver, and it is currently related to the price of silver, which is just Bai Dong's deliberate suppression of the price of silver and the single-minded recovery of copper and iron coins. If Bai Dong is allowed to do this, when all the Chinese people use up the silver coins, what use will their copper and iron have except for the nations to buy for military funds, or to make some rakes for the peasants? As long as we survive this period of time and let Bai Dong's conspiracy be shattered, we will join forces to implement silver coins and copper coins at the same time in the future, and then the silver and copper prices will return to a reasonable position and not be deceived by the Bai family! If they abandon the alliance because of the small profits in front of them, they will have to wait for death! ”
Cheng Gong has already told them this truth, these people are not completely fools, and they have already said that they will continue to ally against Bai Dong. It's just that Bai Dong doesn't seem to have much silver in his hand, do we still need to buy his silver coins at such a high price? "Xiang Jie is actually very worried, the Xiang family's biggest business is silver mines, which used to sell silver, but now it has become a high-priced cashier from the outside, it has only been two or three months, and the Xiang family has not much copper and iron coins left, and they still owe those." Allies' a lot of debts, if the price of silver suddenly plummets, the Xiang family will be really miserable, but he has always had confidence in Xiang Meng, since the young head of the family presided over the Xiang family, the Xiang family's business has become bigger and bigger, and even the largest Chu family trading company in the Chu country has to let the Xiang family three points, which is something that makes the Xiang family raise their eyebrows.
"Why don't you take it?" Xiang Meng sneered: "Send a letter to various countries to close the market for me, and increase the purchase price by another 10%!" Hehe, I want to see, how much silver is still in Bai Dong's hand? Without the support of the Bai family, where should the head of Huaxia Silver find enough silver for Huaxia applications? By the way, the price increase is still put in the day after tomorrow, and you will go with me at the discussion meeting after tomorrow, and I will sue the General Department of Huaxia Banking at the meeting, if seventy percent of the silver is in my hands today, is this general department an official appointed by various countries to do it or will I do it? It seems that it is more appropriate for my Xiang family to do it? ”

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a while, and Abu Hassan looked at Sun Bin for a long time without replying.
He was so excited, if it weren't for the pride of a Persian nobleman, he would have jumped up excitedly and kissed Sun Bin like those fat old Persian women outside kissing their lovers.
Here's your chance! This Huaxia man brought the good news he was most looking forward to, that Huaxia Baizi actually took a fancy to him, a down-and-out nobleman! Although the conditions proposed were a bit harsh, he couldn't refuse at all!
"As long as you are willing to serve the white son, you will receive 30,000 'Dariuk' grants, and the white child will also help you unify the flower thorn and raise the banner against Kodoman. The conditions are also very simple, your rebel army must be composed of Qin warriors, and I will be the military advisor. ”
"Strategist?"
"Like the wise men of your Persian army, but I will be the true commander, understand?"
"Do you want me to be a soulless husk? No, it's so unfair, I'll only consider it if it's at least 50,000 'Dariuks'! ”
Abu Hassan immediately shouted loudly, that is, he was a little lustful, this kind of clumsy performance made Sun Bin smile, and he could see through this poor down-and-out nobleman at a glance, not to mention 50,000 'Dariuk', even if it was only 30,000, Abu Hassan would agree to Bai Zi's request! That's a yellow gold coin, and even if it is taken to Greece, it will be a lot of money! Besides, is there any choice for this nobleman, who is already on the verge of desperation? It was not enough to have pure blood, and if the governors of the provinces who supported the Xerxes family were to work for him, he would have to show enough strength, even if it did not belong to him.
However, Sun Bin just smiled: "Bai Zi thought that you would offer to ask for 100,000 'Da Liuk', so give you 100,000 Da Liuk worth of silver, are you willing to be a soulless body?" If you agree, in a month the silver and 20,000 troops will secretly enter the Khwarazm, and the name of Abu Hassan Xerxes will resound throughout the Persian Empire! The satraps will praise you as the finest son of Xerxes and the great man of Persia, and who cares if you have a soul in your body? ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Sun said it really well, if Bai Zi is willing to help me like this, I would rather sacrifice my soul."
Gently bowing his head in front of Sun Bin, the cunning in Abu Hasan's eyes flashed, but unfortunately he was still looked at by Sun Bin R1152
