Chapter 312: Negotiation (Subscription Requested)
"Your kindness is understood by the official's heart......" Liu Zhang had just finished speaking, and when he saw Lu Su coming up with two clay pots in his arms, he said lightly: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." β
Liu Zhang walked in under the guidance of the golden fat man, Lu Su came over with two clay pots, Liu Zhang just entered the side door, and now the Sichuan army and the naval army are attacking Chaisang, although they did not really attack, but they often went ashore to loot, Jiangdong lost a lot, and it was possible to talk about one day earlier, and one day less to lose.
Moreover, Lu Su is afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, if it drags on for a long time, the main battle faction does not know what variables will be, and it is even possible that Wei Wen really occupied Chaisang.
So Lu Su wanted to seize the opportunity in front of him, and when he saw Liu Zhang entering, he also wanted to follow up, but he was stopped by the gatekeeper at the door.
"Pay the money." A janitor said.
Lu Su was stunned: "This little brother, I haven't gone in yet, what money to pay?" β
"It's an upscale place, you think anyone can come? Pay an entrance fee of 200 wen, otherwise get out. β
Lu Su sighed, there are still shops in Chengdu that pay money first and then enter, it is really unheard of, and he thought that he would go back and promote it to the Jiangdong family, and put some beauties in it to show, maybe he could make money.
But then shook his head, Jiangdong that place, does not encourage commerce at all, except for traditional goods, rarely accept new tricks, if you do that, not only will not be accepted by the Jiangdong clan, but will also be regarded by them as alternative.
Lu Su dispelled his thoughts, held two clay pots, and struggled to dig out the money.
Liu Zhang walked into the store, which was very well furnished, there was a tall booth on the right, which could be seen just outside the gate about two-thirds, and the rows of chairs on the left were already full of wealthy businessmen and nobles.
There is a woman playing the pipa and singing on the booth, the pipa is playing like crying, the voice is crisp, crying while singing, and the unspeakable grievances.
All the wealthy businessmen and nobles were attracted by the women at the booth. Liu Zhang didn't find it when he walked in, only a table of people next to the side door saw it, four people were playing mahjong, and a big man stood up and was about to make a gesture to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang hurriedly signaled to stop.
This big man is Yin Bai.
"Yin Gongzi, why don't you watch it with the others. The bullet is not bad. Liu Zhang said with a smile.
"Hey, we're here to help the golden fat man, this time the golden fat man is bleeding, almost all the belongings have been taken out, and the prisoner's family members have been purchased from all over the country, and hundreds of people have been picked out, just looking forward to selling them for a good price, if he can't sell them, he will be bankrupt."
But we've seen all of them. I picked two that are not bad, and I will bring them to the adults to see, if the adults like ......"
"No need." Liu Zhang waved his hand and said to Yin Bai: "Young Master Yin, do this official a favor." β
"Ouch. My lord, you are tormenting me, saying who it is, I have skinned him. Yin Bai said viciously.
"Not really." Liu Zhang said: "You will see one coming in with two clay pots later." Just help me drag him down, that's the governor of the Jiangdong Navy Army, I don't want to see him now. But you must not hurt him. β
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, my lord." Yin Bai made a look at Liu Zhang, I do things, you can rest assured.
"Chicken."
"Huh, dark seven pairs, hahaha."
Suddenly, a childish voice came, Liu Zhang looked at it, it turned out to be Zhou Budo, only to see a lot of money in front of Zhou Budo, Liu Zhang said that he never gave Zhou Budo money, where did he get the money, and his feelings came from like this.
"My lord, come and play two?" Zhou Budo waved the copper coin string in his hand and said to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang glanced at Zhou Budo, waved his hand to the soldiers, and quietly walked out of the back door under the guidance of the golden fat man, and was about to leave, when he looked at the booth from the door frame, frowned, and said to the smiling golden fat man: "Boss Jin, I have a suggestion that may affect your money." β
The fat man looked at Liu Zhang nervously, these women have all their belongings, if Liu Zhang is not allowed to sell them, he will die.
"I know that in addition to selling beauties, you also buy and sell people, and the barbarians and Qiangqi have sold a lot, but try not to sell the population of Shuzhong to other places."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he left, and the fat man was stunned, walked to the lobby and said a few words to a small servant, who immediately ran up to the high platform and said loudly: "Good news, the buyers of Jingyi Erzhou pay attention, our boss Jin today in order to repay the emperor's benevolence, the buyers of the two states, the price is halved." β
The audience was in an uproar, the buyers in Jingyi Erzhou were very happy, and the businessmen from other places were indignant.
Liu Zhang walked outside and smiled, the fat man didn't say that the price was increased outside Jingyi Erzhou, he only said that Jingyi Erzhou reduced the price, and these businessmen were more traitorous than one another.
Now that the population of Jingyi Prefecture has dropped significantly, Liu Zhang just doesn't want the population to flow out, but now a bigger worry is reflected.
It may not be obvious now, it is still the early stage of business, but what Zhou Budo said at the beginning is that business is likely to form a counter-erosion of morality and politics, and now businessmen are trying their best to make money within the scope of morality.
If it is difficult to make money in the future, morality will be abandoned and everything will be in the service of money.
In the end, not only morality will be abandoned, but also the law will be abandoned, and although everything seems to be healthy now, it has to be guarded against.
Liu Zhang hopes that the problems caused by business will be minimized from the beginning, rather than being solved only after it has already rotted, when business will take shape, it will not be so easy to reform, and it may encounter greater resistance than the traditional clan now......
As soon as Liu Zhang left the mahjong table, Lu Su came in with a clay pot, looking left and right, Yin Bai stood up all of a sudden, looked Lu Su up and down, and exclaimed.
"Oh, is this Lu Su, the Governor of Jiangdong, Lu Zijing? Ouch, it's better to be famous than to meet, the aura is extraordinary, and the appearance is dignified. β
"yes, yes." The other two mahjong sons also praised it.
"I'm glad I will." Lu Su casually arched his hand to Yin Bai and continued to search for Liu Zhang.
"Come, Master Lu, let's play two, it's our honor to play two with Dudu."
Yin Bai pulled Lu Su to the table, Lu Su wanted to break away, but Yin Bai was too strong and pulled over, Yin Bai gave up his position and pressed Lu Su down, Lu Su sat on the seat, looked at the mahjong in front of him, and said to Yin Bai:
"There's something going on down there, let's do it another day."
"Don't give us Sichuan face?"
Lu Su was about to leave. Yin Bai put on the big hat of the Sichuan people and covered Lu Su back.
"But I won't." Lu Su took a whiteboard in his hand and looked at it, not knowing what it was at all.
"It's not easy." Zhou Budo said beside him: "Teach you a formula to learn to play mahjong in an instant, n multiplied by AAA plus m multiplied by ABC+DD to win, mn can be equal to 0." β
Lu Su: "...... Instant ......"
Lu Su was instantly messy.
"Look at you so sincere, listen to me tell you in detail." Zhou Budo casually took out the exercise book on his body. Turning dozens of pages, there are dense drafts on them, and he opened a white page and explained to Lu Su: "First of all, n represents the number of three seedlings, and ABC is the algebra of the three seedlings alphabet......"
Lu Su: "......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lu Su walked around Chengdu for a day and was frightened, and on this day, he wrote an article in the post house.
"Today, I walked the streets of Chengdu. I saw a lot of things that I had never seen before, and I didn't know what they meant, but they made me nervous.
Chengdu has cheap paper, low-cost books, and no need to grind ink. Young people can be seen everywhere studying, and they say that as long as they are literate and break the text, they know how to manage and handle official documents. can be an official.
In addition to the history books, they also read a variety of official document templates, each of which is underneath. There are a lot of questions, fill in the blanks, answers, choices, judgments, and not just write a strategy.
I don't see the privileged class here, the people here, unlike the ordinary people in Jiangdong, always keep their heads down, on the contrary, they all have a yearning for life, they know that what they are doing now can make their lives better in the future, unlike the people of Jiangdong, they always repeat last year.
There are a lot of goods that have never been seen here, chairs have been introduced to Jiangdong very early, and Jiangdong has been imitating, but the types of Chengdu are far more than Jiangdong, and I have also seen the rare white porcelain, according to the boss, white porcelain will be as popular as celadon, which will definitely bring wealth to Sichuan and Shu, but unfortunately, we Jiangdong will not do it.
In addition to these, the slave and maid trade here is also far more novel than other places, and the merchants can make more money, not only the slave and maid trade, but also the others, they are very business-minded, and the Shu people are trying to create wealth under the rule of Liu Zhang.
What's even more amazing is that I saw a nine-year-old child in a shop, and I felt that my knowledge was far from that of him, which frightened me, and I didn't understand all the three seedling letters, three seedling numbers, proportional number series, and substitution method, and I had never heard of it at all, but it sounded very reasonable.
A child is like this, not to mention other people, Jing Yi doesn't know how many capable people are lurking.
All these folk things make the city of Chengdu look like a pot on a fire, which will soon boil.
And Liu Zhang, the lord of Shu, after observation, this person is not as ruthless and cruel as I imagined, I carefully analyzed, he should be a principled person, ruthless to the clan and rebels, but tolerant to the people and obedient, tolerant of the outside and lenient inside, calm and decisive, is really a threat to my Jiangdong.
I used to think that Sichuan and Shu would inevitably collapse under Liu Zhang's rigid governance, but now, I don't dare to conclude at all. β
Lu Su put down his pen and sighed, all of a sudden, he actually felt that it was a mistake to negotiate peace, and now that Sichuan and Shu are in the early stage of reform, they should take advantage of this most difficult time in Sichuan and Shu, Jiangdong and Cao Cao Xiliang united to defeat the Sichuan army in one fell swoop.
But then Lu Su shook his head again and put aside this idea.
Not to mention that this sudden idea of oneself is contrary to the ideas that he has always formed, and it is impossible to convince other civilian clans in Jiangdong that if he fails to negotiate peace, he will bring back a lot of reasons for going to war, and the consequences will be very serious.
Moreover, the new appearance of Shuzhong, which was covered up by the devastation brought about by the rebellion, was like a sprout growing under the broken tiles, if it was not for his own eyes, he would not have believed it, and similarly, Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and the civil and military ministers of Jiangdong and the north would not believe it.
At this time, an entourage walked in, and Lu Su asked, "How does the Yizhou Pastoral Mansion reply?" β
The attendant shook his head: "They still say that Liu Zhang is busy." β
"Ugh." Lu Su sighed, and remembered Liu Zhang's attitude today, "Could it be that this butcher really wants to make a move on Jiangdong?" It's not entirely impossible. β
Lu Su's face was full of anxiety.
β¦β¦
Lu Su stayed in Chengdu, went out shopping every day, and occasionally played mahjong until the tenth day, when Liu Zhang finally ordered Lu Su to come and see him.
When Lu Su arrived at the door, the civil and military forces of the Sichuan army in the hall gathered, Lu Su bowed to Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang quickly got up from his seat and greeted him. took Lu Su's hand and walked up to the main seat, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Mr. Zijing, you and I are old acquaintances, why be so polite, come, sit down." β
"Old acquaintance...... Oh. Uncle Huang lifted. Lu Su sat next to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang turned to Zhongwen and said, "Have you seen it?" This is the Jiangdong Lu Su and Mr. Lu Zijing that I often mention to you. β
"Hello Mr. Zijing."
"Hello Mr. Zijing."
Huang Quan, Wang Fu, Zhang Song and others greeted Lu Su one after another, Lu Su was stunned by such an enthusiastic scene, he didn't turn a corner for a long time, and embarrassedly arched his hand to the Sichuan army.
Liu Zhang said: "Mr. Lu Zijing is the first honest person in Jiangdong, there are two sages in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, but he has a bearing. Mr. Zijing is even better than Zhou Gongjin, Mr. Lu Zijing is here today, it is really brilliant, come, have a drink. β
"Dry. Dry. Zhong Wenwu raised his wine glass, Lu Su's head swelled, he was confused, and he estimated that he would not get to the point again. I was about to go crazy, so I drank a glass of wine and hurriedly said:
"Uncle Liu Huang. This time I came specifically for peace, and there were some misunderstandings between our two sides at the beginning......"
"What?" Liu Zhang looked at Lu Su and said in surprise: "Peace? What did Mr. Zijing say? When we first met, didn't we say it? The Sichuan people and the Wu people are all the people of the Han Dynasty, and Jingyi and Jiangdong are all the territory of the Han Dynasty, has Mr. Zijing forgotten? Since they are all one family, how can they seek peace? β
"Stunned ......" Lu Su thought of a short sentence in his mouth, and he couldn't answer for a while.
Liu Zhang patted Lu Su on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Zijing, as long as you and Wu Hou say a word, we are a family, we must not only live in harmony, but also mutual benefit and common prosperity."
I heard that you have a blank paper there for more than a dozen yuan, which is too expensive, how can this facilitate the people of Jiangdong to learn knowledge and benefit the Han Dynasty?
I also heard that Jiangdong porcelain cloth is old, Kan Ze once said: There is no cloth in Dongchu, how can this work? Everyone is a family, how can we let the people of Jiangdong live in dire straits, we decided to sell our Shu brocade porcelain to Jiangdong cheaply, to ensure that it is cheaper than Jiangdong's own production.
Also, over the years, two generations of Wu Hou have governed Jiangdong well, the people have enough food and clothing, and the food is inexhaustible, you know, we have just suffered a flood in Shuzhong, and experienced a rebellion, and the people are living in hardship. β
Liu Zhang wiped his eyes as he spoke: "I also hope that Mr. Zijing will say a few good words to Wu Hou and help us, rest assured, we will never ask for it in vain, we will definitely pay." Zijing, what do you think? Liu Zhang looked at Lu Su and said.
Lu Su now heard what Liu Zhang meant, and refined it to say that if you want peace, you must agree to two conditions, first, you must sell goods to Jiangdong, and second, you must buy Jiangdong's grain.
Lu Su said in his heart, aren't all buying and selling civil affairs? What if you say yes? Immediately said to Liu Zhang: "What Uncle Huang said is yes, the two families should be mutually beneficial and prosperous, Jiangdong is in need of goods in Shuzhong, if there is surplus grain, we are also willing to sell it to Shuzhong." β
"Zijing is really a sincere person." Liu Zhang sighed: "Okay, that's it, Mr. Zijing go back, ask Wu Hou to convene the civil and military, notify me, and say that all our Jingyi goods are allowed to enter Jiangdong, and only the store tax will be charged according to the Jiangdong level."
In addition, we must ensure the safety of our Shuzhong merchants, if the Shuzhong merchants break the law, we must severely punish them, if the Jiangdong people deliberately embarrass the Shu merchants, then ...... There had to be some legal constraints. β
"How does this work?" Although Liu Zhang's words were vague, Lu Su still heard it at once, now the cross-border commercial taxation is very complicated, and there is no regulation yet, after all, the Han split has not been long ago, but it is undeniable that cross-border businessmen will be exploited.
Liu Zhang's article completely exempted the Shu merchants from being exploited and enjoyed the treatment of local merchants.
And the most important thing is that sentence: "If the merchants in Shu break the law, we will punish them severely." "Liu Zhang directly took away the right to punish the Shu merchants, but the Jiangdong people harmed the Shu merchants, so they were explicitly restricted, which is completely unfair.
Lu Su stood up all of a sudden, looked at Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang looked at him in surprise and said, "Mr. Zijing, you talked so well, why are you suddenly angry?" We all felt that Mr. Zijing was sincere, so we were willing to talk to him, but Mr. scared us like this, and it was difficult for us to carry out negotiations. β
"You ......" Lu Su just showed anger, but suddenly thought of Jiangdong's predicament, if Liu Zhang fought regardless of himself, Jiangdong would be immortal and crippled, and the consequences could not be bearable.
Liu Zhang said it tactfully, but it was already a threat, and Lu Su could only sit down again.
Liu Zhang looked at Zijing with a smile, personally poured a glass of wine for Lu Su, and said: "That's good, our goods in Shuzhong are sold to Jiangdong, but also for the sake of the people of Jiangdong, and we don't force them to buy and sell, if the people of Jiangdong think it's not affordable, they can not buy it, right?" This is only good for Jiangdong and not harmful, right, Mr. Zijing? β
"Yes, yes." Lu Su took a deep breath and said.
"Since we sold things in Shuzhong to Jiangdong, don't say that we only make money and don't return it, I think Wu Hou will sell us 50,000 stone of grain this time, and we are willing to pay 1 million yuan."
"What?" Lu Su just drank half of the wine poured by Liu Zhang, and almost spit it out, 50,000 stone of grain, according to the minimum official purchase price, is at least 30,000 yuan, more than 30 million yuan, Liu Zhang paid 1 million yuan, which is 30 times lower, is this the purchase of Chinese cabbage? No, it's a big ball of dung.
"Shu Hou forgive me, we don't have extra food in Jiangdong." Lu Su said in a deep voice.
"Really?" Liu Zhang asked.
"Really."
Liu Zhang was suddenly inexplicably indignant, and slammed the case: "How can this be reasonable, Fan Lixiang dared to lie to me, saying that Jiangdong has a lot of grain in stock and can fund the Jiangling displaced people, and said that Jingzhou and Jiangdong are both Chu people, and they are in the same breath."
If you can't get the surplus grain relief from Jiangdong, you won't be able to restrain those displaced people, and you may invade Jiangdong. (To be continued.) )
