The source of money and food for the Shence Mansion comes from nothing more than three directions.

The first is the commercial tax, because a large number of workshops and merchants gathered, so the commercial tax has always been the most important source of revenue for the Shence Mansion.

The second is the money bank, relying on the credit of the Shence Mansion, the money bank of the Shence Mansion has made a profit of more than 30 million yuan per year, and this number is still snowballing, especially the money of the money bank has begun to be more generally accepted, so the money bank is not only profitable, but can almost temporarily move almost unlimited money and food for emergencies.

As for the third profit, it is a Wanli Shence Mansion Commercial Bank, this commercial house is mainly for the trade of the desert, because of the monopoly of tea, so it basically belongs to a Wanli, with worthless goods transported to the desert, and then with the desert of cattle, sheep and fur into Henan Province, and finally obtain huge profits, the annual profit, as high as 70 million.

The current annual income of the Shence Mansion is roughly around 200 million, and this huge caravan contributes nearly 30% of the income.

This is the lifeblood of Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, and it is also the lifeblood of Qin Shaoyou.

Now Wei Hongmin is obviously playing this idea, and the capital he relies on naturally comes from his checkpoint, that is, as long as Henan Province wants to trade with the desert, it must pass through Hebei, so he has the root of asking for benefits.

But......

Wang Ju smiled bitterly and shook his head, Hebei is the foundation of Wei Hongmin, but the caravan is the foundation of Qin Shaoyou and even the entire Henan Mansion, once the caravan goes wrong, the current annual expenditure of the Shence Mansion is around 150 million yuan, if this deal is smashed, it means that the Shence Mansion will not be able to make ends meet.

Wei Hongmin must also want to use this as a threat, Wang Ju couldn't help asking: "How does the Governor of Zhaoyi want to pluck the goose." ”

Yang Jiong smiled and said: "All goods, one out of ten." ”

Wang Ju gasped, ten minutes is not as simple as asking for one-tenth of the benefits. For this trade, the Shence Mansion needs to pay a lot of costs, such as the need to recruit people to make tea by hand, such as the purchase of tea, such as the organization of caravans, such as the loss of thousands of miles of water and land routes. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to pay at least five percent of the cost to make a profit of ten yuan, and directly extract one-tenth of the goods, which means that Wei Hongmin wants to extract thirty percent of the caravan's profit at one time.

If it is a year, according to his appetite, he will take at least 20 million guan, and in the future, if the trade is expanded. The more he profits.

This does not include that, once Wei Hongmin is satisfied, the other military towns are afraid that they will follow suit, and wherever the entire Shence Mansion caravan goes, it will be drawn to wherever it goes, but I am afraid that when the time comes, the profits left to the Shence Mansion will be pitiful. Not only that, but if it is a caravan of the Divine Wisdom Mansion, it will be drawn by one. And what about the goods of other merchants? What would it mean if everyone followed suit? It means the industry and commerce of Henan Province. It's just making wedding dresses for others, and all the benefits must be eaten up by these wolf-like local princes.

Wang Ju couldn't help laughing: "This Wei Hongmin can't help but have too much appetite, it's really funny." ”

Yang Jiong said solemnly: "Although it is ridiculous, it is an unavoidable problem, and because of this." His Royal Highness is angry, it is the emperor, and he is also angry, and now the emperor, His Royal Highness and Yang Shizhong are discussing countermeasures in the palace. I'm afraid that it won't be long before His Highness will come back, and at that time, it will be the time for the Divine Strategy Mansion to deal with it. That Wei Hongmin has just arrived in Hebei, and the imperial court has allocated a lot of money and grain to him, and now he has got the money and grain from the treasury of Hebei Province, recruiting troops and horses everywhere, and the momentum is very strong, he has trained 50,000 Zhaoyi troops, which cannot be underestimated, which is why the emperor attaches great importance to this, the emperor and His Royal Highness, now ......" Yang Jiong looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said: "Now it is solidarity, and the emperor is also worried about this." ”

Wang Ju said: "What if His Royal Highness refuses to give this Wei Hongmin benefits? ”

Yang Jiong shook his head: "It's impossible to say, when Wei Hongmin first took office, he didn't dare to make things difficult for the businessmen of Henan Mansion, this is because he didn't have capital at that time, and now, recruiting troops and horses everywhere, he already has capital, and he has the support of the court and various towns, so he has the confidence, so he took advantage of this to make trouble." The old man thought that Wei Hongmin was by no means a reckless person, since he chose this time to make things difficult, he would never give up easily, if the Shence Mansion was unwilling, then next, he would have to make things difficult for the caravan of the Shence Mansion. ”

Wang Ju nodded, but he planned in his heart, if so, how should the Shence Mansion deal with it?

Waiting left and right, Qin Shaoyou didn't see him coming, and the people who came to wait couldn't help but be a little anxious.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Luoyang Palace, it was a different scene.

Wu Zetian was furious.

Of course, she knew what Wei Hongmin wanted to blackmail like this, it was nothing more than that if the Shence Mansion gave in, he would be able to sit on the ground and collect the money, and he would be able to gain an inch in the future. But if you refuse to back down, you can take the opportunity to make trouble.

And Wu Zetian knows that he is closely related to Shence Mansion, and Wei Hongmin's move is aimed at Henan Mansion, Qin Shaoyou, and not himself.

In this great Xuanzheng Palace, there are only Qin Shaoyou and Yang Zaisi who are sitting.

Wu Zetian walked a few steps anxiously, her phoenix eyes flickered, and after a long time, she raised her eyes: "What if the Divine Strategy Mansion doesn't respond?" ”

Yang Zaisi coughed and said, "Then since Wei Hongmin has sent someone, how can he give up easily, if he doesn't respond, I'm afraid that all the caravans passing through Hebei will be intercepted by him." ”

Wu Zetian sneered: "Then let him try it." ”

Although he said this, Wu Zetian knew very well that Wei Hongmin would definitely dare to do this, anyway, as long as the Zhaoyi Army found a random reason, it was nothing more than to transport contraband, or other reasons, why should there be no excuse for the crime that he wanted to add?

Yang Zaisi said: "Your Highness, you must have a perfect plan now, otherwise you will ......"

Yang Zaisi kept looking at Qin Shaoyou, this Qin Shaoyou was the master, but why didn't Qin Shaoyou say a word, as if this was the old man's trouble.

Wu Zetian shook his head: "A foolproof strategy? I'm afraid that the surname Wei is deliberate, relying on all measures, how to deal with it? ”
