Section 25: Legal Operations
Seeing Pei Mingcui disappearing, there were only four people left in the hall, you stare at me, I look at you, I don't know why.
Gao Shiqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said: "Miss Pei has always been like this, what she said ......"
"We won't take it to heart." Seeing Pei Mingcui's frizziness, Xiao Buyi could hardly imagine that this was the main task of the famous Pei family's caravan.
"You have to go to your heart." Gao Shiqing said slowly: "Although she looks casual, her words have always been firm and cannot be changed. However, the matter of the bonus, please Brother Xiao had better not talk about it to outsiders, but what Miss Pei promised you, I Gao Shiqing should do my best to do. β
Xiao Buyi was stunned, only to know that Pei Mingcui's promise turned out to be a regulation for him alone.
"I know that a few of you may have a lot of doubts," Gao Shiqing said with a smile, "and maybe even think that we are using profits to trap you and then sell you to the outer lands?" β
The three of them actually really had this idea, and when they heard Gao Shiqing say it, they were a little sneering, and they all said that they didn't have this idea.
"To tell you the truth, the establishment of the Pei family caravan has only been a matter of the past few years." Gao Shiqing said sincerely: "But Tianmao is deep-rooted and difficult to shake, the world only knows Tianmao, but does not know the Pei family caravan." Since my young lady managed the Pei family caravan, she wanted to break this deadlock as soon as possible, just in time for Tianmao to start to be arrogant, so my young lady stipulated a few days ago that as long as Tianmao didn't want a businessman, our Pei family caravan must be brought over. β
"May I ask a question?" Xiao Buyi couldn't help but say.
"Brother Xiao just said." Gao Shiqing is not arrogant about Xiao Buyi, and can even be said to be enthusiastic.
"I know it may be inappropriate, but I'm curious to know, besides the three of us, who else has entered the Pei family's caravan in this way?"
Gao Shiqing's face was a little helpless, "Actually, before you, we have already found three. β
"The result?" Xiao Buyi felt good in his heart, and there were at least three backs.
"It didn't work out." Gao Shiqing told the truth.
"Why?" Xiao Buyi was stunned.
Because Miss Pei always likes to do things herself, she scared the three away. Actually, you promised to come down, and I didn't expect it. Gao Shi said lightly: "People in the world are very smart, and they think that there is no pie falling from the sky, so it is you who eats it." β
Xiao Buyi smiled a little wryly, I don't know if Gao Shiqing said this, whether he praised himself for being lucky, or said that he was not smart enough
***
In the next few days, Xiao Buyi felt like flowing water.
He has been busy tossing and turning, but there is no obvious effect.
Although he felt that what Gao Shiqing said was reasonable and sincere, Xiao Buyi always felt that he was still hiding something and didn't say anything. Is there a trap here? He wasn't sure.
But this doesn't matter after all, he's here to do business, not to check other people's details, as long as he can get out of the jam, he can't control a lot.
Although Miss Pei seems to be in a hurry, Gao Shiqing does things without leakage.
The next day, Gao Shiqing took Xiao Buyi to familiarize himself with the rules of the Pei family's caravan, of course, the rules are all ordinary rules, but Xiao Buyi has never heard of them.
When he heard Gao Shiqing's explanation, he realized that his previous thoughts were indeed a little naΓ―ve.
The Sui Dynasty was extremely strict in the management of the sale of illicit goods, selling a stone, that is, a hundred catties of illicit salt, must be punished by death, you get a tea brick to sell in the Turks, if you are caught by the government, you are afraid that you will have your life to make money, and you will not have your life to spend money.
However, the Pei family caravan is completely different, the Pei family caravan is allowed to do business by the emperor's holy decree, that is, modern people obtain business licenses.
Of course, there are also those who operate without a license, such as smuggler salt dealers, and the punishment will be heavier in this era.
In this way, the Pei family caravan is no longer a simple familiar route and the role of protection, with them, doing business is considered a legal operation, and there is no need for the government to be held accountable.
There is also Tianmao who has this qualification, but Pei Valve's recent emerging momentum is very strong, and there is a vague posture to catch up with Tianmao.
Of course, this is the truth or Gao Shiqing himself put gold on his face, Xiao Buyi is unknown, and it is not easy to study.
He asked the arrow to turn the matter back to the cottage to inform him, and he and Yang Dezhi stayed in Mayi to purchase some items to fill the faΓ§ade.
Things seem simple, but it is quite complicated to explain to the cottage. Xiao Buyi was a little worried that he was not familiar with traditional Chinese characters, he forgot to write the pen, he couldn't write the letter, and he was worried that the explanation of the arrow could not make the cottage understand.
Unexpectedly, after the arrow came back, Xiao Buyi knew that he was worried in vain, and the arrow only brought back seven words from the owner of the village and the second master, and the less master was in charge.
Silk brocade, tea and porcelain, these seem to be ordinary items in the Central Plains, but when they are taken to the Turkic side, they can be exchanged for good horses, furs, cattle and sheep, medicinal herbs and other items.
These are all common sense instilled in Xiao Buyi by Yang Dezhi, so Xiao Buyi is ready to buy something nearby at least to fill the scene, and of course doing business must look like doing business.
Gao Shiqing was busy with affairs, and after Da Rough and the three of them talked about some rules, he asked a small servant named Xiao Liu to take them to the place where the merchants lived and waited for departure.
This is no better than a modern train, which departs on time and on time. A caravan is a group, and it takes time to gather vendors, hire dart masters, purchase goods, select porters, wait for the right time, and then choose a zodiac auspicious one.
When the three of them arrived at the place where the vendors lived, they realized that they had been entertained like never before last time.
The place where the vendors gather is a large compound that occupies a lot of land. Two rows of wooden houses are lined up side by side, and there are several large mansions in the innermost part, some of which are of a size, but they are also somewhat rudimentary.
There is no bamboo cultivation here, birds singing and flowers, only chickens, ducks and geese calling, there is a strange smell.
Some of the wooden rooms are closed, some are open, some are closed, and some are open, and the open ones are even bigger.
Several men sat there shirtless, looking at the three of them with squinted eyes.
Xiao Wu led the three of them into the compound, and a thin man in a long shirt with a hawk nose had already greeted him, "Little Liuzi, a newcomer is here?" β
Although the man's face is long in the cold winter, his smile is the rejuvenation of the earth, and he looks at the three of them with burning eyes, like a girl looking at the uncle who has entered the green building, which is meaningful, ruthless and affectionate.
"These three masters were brought by the master." Xiao Liuzi whispered.
The man in the long shirt was obviously stunned, and stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "Long admiration, long admiration, my name is Li Zhixiong, how many brothers have the surname Tai?" β
Xiao Buyi said in his heart, you kid is duplicitous, since you don't know our name, then what have you admired for a long time, have you admired us for a long time?
After reporting his name, Li Zhixiong said that he had admired his name for a long time, and then asked: "What business do the brothers do?" β
After a few words, Xiao Buyi already knew that this person had different hearts and mouths, and he was two-faced and stabbed, and he couldn't have deep friendships.
"It's not decided yet." Yang Dezhi replied.
"Not decided?" Li Zhixiong was a little puzzled, but suddenly realized, and patted his head, "I'm talking too much, I should be beaten." β
Xiao Buyi and the three of them had the idea that this person should really fight at the same time, but they were all silent.
Li Zhixiong saw that the three of them were not very old, but they were extremely calm, and they were neither contemptuous nor enthusiastic about him, but they really didn't dare to underestimate him.
"Little Liuzi, are these masters going to live over there?" Li Zhixiong pointed to the big house at the end.
His efforts in this moment have already made the three of them older, and asking about the residence is even more meaningful.
Because it is the same caravan, there is also a difference between large and small households.
Experienced businessmen who have a backstage, or can bring profits to the Pei family's caravan will usually arrange a large room, so just from the residence, you can see how much weight people have in the Pei family's caravan.
"It's not." Xiao Liuzi shook his head, "Master Gao ordered that they live with Lao Bangzi." β
Li Zhixiong's blazing enthusiasm cooled down a lot, "Then you guys are busy first, and we'll talk when you're free." β
This person's kung fu changed three or four titles for a while, and Xiao Buyi said in his heart that the world was cold and warm, and it was the same thousands of years ago.
Coming to the row of houses on his right hand without mind, Xiao Liuzi pushed open the door directly, stretched out his hand and pointed, his attitude was lukewarm, "Several, you will live here first." β;
