Chapter Twenty-Three: Grace and Might

What he meant by this, of course, was not to ask Yang Chengzu how much money he would pay, but to ask how much appetite he had and how much meat he wanted to cut off from himself in a year. Who knew that Yang Chengzu was serious and said: "Ninth Master, the younger one is a junior, not as big as your old-timer's family, and that little money really can't be used." Counting the house I live in now, and the forty-eight acres of good watered land in Baimapo, all the furniture does not exceed 700 taels. I'll go find someone to borrow some and get together enough 1,000 taels of silver to buy shares, I don't know what your old man thinks? ”

Does he really want to take a stake, not just talk about it? Zhao Jiuxiong was slightly stunned, if the other party wanted to join the Haohan stocks, as long as he casually said a number, he would have to admit it. In fact, most of the shares are entered in this way, and Yang Chengzu calculated it carefully, which shows that he really has the sincerity to buy shares, rather than simply relying on power to take it.

Yang Chengzu said again: "Ninth Master, what I just said, you probably thought it was a means, but in fact what I said was the truth. If you only focus on Huaxian County, the pattern is too small. The Yellow River in Henan Province is flooded every year, and the old folks are uprooted from their hometowns every year. But then again, this Yellow River is also a cornucopia, as long as the transportation is smooth, it can bring countless dividends to the fathers and elders along the river. These are all real money, and whoever doesn't earn it is a fool of Tianzi No. 1. I am Jinyi and I don't want to join the Cao Gang, but I really want to help each other with Jiu Ye and make a fortune at this good time. ”

He drank the tea in the cup, "The Cao Gang earns countless silver dollars every year, and they are willing to make some money, but since ancient times, Ning has blocked the city gate and not reclaimed the sea." Just three festivals and two birthdays, just give your uncle a little filial piety? To put it mildly, there are so many people in the world, and the gifts you give, Uncle may not take them to heart. Of course, if you don't give gifts, Uncle will definitely remember it. In the entire Cao Gang in Henan, none of them helped the uncle raise military salaries, nor did they take the initiative to let Jinyiwei become a shareholder. As long as you Jiu Ye starts this, I dare to ask for credit for you in this chapter, I dare not say that this chapter can fall into the hands of the uncle, but I dare to say that it will definitely fall into the hands of Commander Song. As long as Commander Song mentions it when he sees his uncle in the future, are you still afraid that your ninth master will not be able to soar? ”

"Besides, as soon as this share is entered, we are a family, and we have a care for each other. Like this traitor's matter, if I covet your family business, as long as I bite it, don't you break half of your family property and make a point, can this matter be passed? Right now, my dividends are from the public funds of the Cao Gang, and the friendship that fell is a real personal relationship between the two of us, Jiuye, you are an old-timer, you still don't understand this? I don't take this share for nothing, not only real money into the shares, but also borrow a few deputy official titles and official lights, just this saved taxes, I'm afraid it's a lot in a year. ”

"I don't dare to guarantee anything else, if your gang is connected with Jinyi to form a line, dozens of surplus military places, I have the final say. Think about it, if this good man under your command wears official clothes, what kind of majesty it must be, I don't need to say more about the key here. ”

At this time, the commercial tax was abolished, but there were many places where the emperor of Zhengde used money, and he also had to think of some ways to do business taxes, and the banknotes everywhere were much stricter than before. Although the ships themselves do not accept the restrictions of banknotes, after all, not all merchant ships can carry them. There are still merchants who have to pay taxes, and the best way to avoid taxes is to borrow a few official titles and hang a few official lamps at night.

In this way, when encountering a banknote customs search, you only need to say that you are a ship of a certain old man's family, and those banknotes will not be embarrassed. After all, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they have to save face with each other, so they can't hurt the feelings of the same dynasty, right? It's just that this official title card and official lamp are not so easy to borrow, after all, it is not in their hands to lend out, and if they transport any forbidden things, they will have to follow it.

Zhao Jiuxiong has wealth and power, and in terms of the government, he can only be regarded as an explosive household, but he is not a real gentleman. When he reported the donation, the apportionment on his head was particularly heavy, and he was occasionally assigned to bear the responsibility of grain tax as the grain chief, and he didn't even think about the official title.

Yang Chengzu and Zhang Jiayin worshipped the new promotion, and they didn't dare to say anything else, so there was no problem in borrowing a deck of official title cards. But after Zhao Jiuxiong heard what he said, there was a wave in his heart. Originally, he was not happy about Yang Chengzu's behavior of coming to force a share today, if it weren't for his family's great business and Jiang Bin's fierce reputation, he would have to fight with him. Hearing him say this, the unpleasant energy in his heart disappeared, but he grabbed Yang Chengzu's hand and said, "Young Master Yang, have you ever married?" Old and talented, there are a few girls in the family, you might as well pick one by one, which one you like, I will give you as a wife, and then accompany half of the family property as a dowry. ”

His sons are not successful, and they have no hope of inheriting the family business, today Yang Chengzu analyzed the on-demand, especially the point out that the shares are just the public funds of the Cao Gang, as long as they are reported, the general altar will be written off. But what he made friends was a personal friendship between the two, which made him feel very uncomfortable. As long as you report a few hundred taels more at that time, won't you be able to fall by yourself?

Listening to the other party's role of being so handy-eyed, he was able to hand the submission all the way to Song Zhaonan, and he could also borrow the official title card, and his opinion of Yang Chengzu changed one hundred and eighty degrees. This is a young hero, with ruthlessness, momentum and brains, and there are backers and relationships behind him, such a person is suitable for recruiting as a son-in-law to support the portal for his family. As long as you treat him well, are you afraid that he won't be able to repay his kindness and take care of his loser sons in the future?

Yang Chengzu said in his heart: The door is right, your Zhao family is nothing more than a whitewashed underworld character, if your daughter is sent to be a child, you can still consider it, and she actually wants to be a wife. However, he said: "The matter of marriage, the words of the matchmaker of my parents, I don't dare to promise anything in front of the ninth master, I have to listen to my mother." Let's talk about this shareholding first, should you or shouldn't you? ”

Zhao Jiuxiong laughed and said, "What's wrong with this? I was blinded by lard, and I didn't see the stakes here, thanks to Yang Gongzi's words to wake up the dreamer, I understood the key here. If you can give me a name in front of Pingyubo, it is worth a mountain of gold and silver. I, Zhao Jiu, say something here, your shares are counted, and I will say that I received your gold and silver outside. But if you send the money, it's like slapping me in the face. As soon as you say it, I will listen to it, and I will enter you for this thousand taels. From today onwards, I will give Jinyiwei a dividend of 1,500 taels every year. If the business is good in the future, I will have more points, and we can make a note now. ”

He thought through in his heart: When I reported to the general altar, I said that I would pay Jinyiwei a dividend of 2,000 every year, and the general altar would have to reimburse me. Otherwise, just wait to be beaten by the brocade guard.

What was talked about inside, there was no way to know outside, Wang Tietou and the others were holding the ash rod in their hands and frowning angrily, waiting for a while to tear up and rush in to save people. Who knew that Zhao Jiuxiong took Yang Chengzu's hand, and the two walked out of it with a smile on their faces.

Zhao Jiuxiong even instructed: "Come on, go and call me a few banquets on the table to entertain the young heroes in brocade." I will write a note, starting from this year, every year, the Jinyi Wei Huazhou Small Banner Office can share 1,500 taels of silver from my Cao Gang. ”
