Lu Bing stood nervously for a while, his eyes looking into the distance distractedly, but behind the distracted eyes there was a bit of contradiction shining, as if he was making some big decision.

Lu Bing was stunned for a long time, and then reacted and found that everyone was looking at him, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking that if I do it, you have to put your heart in your stomach, don't be scared and jump out, Lao Tzu, this is the great cause of the earth-shattering ghosts and gods. Lu Bing thought in his heart, sat down, coughed lightly and asked, "Why did Miss Shen come this time?" ”

"Oh, you're finally normal, you scared me to death just now." Shen Zishan replied with a smile: "Actually, I came here this time to tell you something, that is the matter of our Shen family and the emperor, and I hope you can give us an idea." ”

"I'm afraid I can't be the master of this matter now, I've already resigned, and now I'm not an official and I'm light, where is my turn to speak." Lu Bing shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands in a helpless expression, and then said: "This matter is the same as what Miss Shen just said, we think differently, our positions are different, and the things we can manipulate and do are different." ”

Shen Yeshan disdainfully "cut", and then said: "Look at your fearful appearance, is this still the famous killing god Lu Bing in the officialdom and the rivers and lakes, it is simply the little ghost Lu Bing." I didn't let you call the shots, you still remember the grudge, I really don't know what you can do. Okay, let's get down to business, I'm here to inform you this time, after all, the original agreement was for you to pull the strings, and now that something happens, the emperor will definitely ask you for questions. Even if I don't ask, I'll have to let you know so you know what to expect, don't you say? ”

"Hmm. Don't make trouble, what's going on? Lu Bing asked seriously.

"Speaking of this, I'm so angry, this Zhu Houxi is simply a villain who doesn't believe in his words, you have no jokes, where is he the king of a country who has the style of saying and doing what he says, and he changes his words every day, shamelessly and obscenely." Shen Yew said indignantly: "We have all agreed on the amount I will pay every year, right?" Three million taels of silver a year. Even if Lu Bing and you are dismissed this year, the 200,000 taels I should give you are correct, which is enough to show the integrity of my Shen family, right? As a result. As a result, the matter that was decided now changed again, and the emperor did not follow it, saying that three million taels was too little, and that it would cost five million taels. Please, okay. We don't just give these three million taels, and don't pay taxes, etc., we don't pay a penny less than we should pay, but what we shouldn't pay is going to rise, it's only been a few years, and my Shen family's capital hasn't been recovered. ”

Shen Yeshan said again: "Do you know what is the most shameless thing about Lu Dao, this year's new deal." A few cities in the south of the Yangtze River are exempted from taxes, and Zhu Houxi issued another secret edict asking our Shen family to still deliver it secretly. It's not allowed to make a noise, the co-authors don't pay the money, just pay the money to our family, this special treatment, 'take care' of our 'care' is too in place. Zhu Houxi is good, he makes a lot of money, but he has a good reputation among the people, this business is very cost-effective, is it difficult for the world to make him smart? My Shen family has become a big wrongdoer, and it is a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis and suffers from losing money. In order to maintain the relationship, our Shen family agreed to the emperor's request one by one with the idea of preserving the capital and not making money or losing money. As a result, just after paying the money this year, Zhu Houxi wanted to take back the control of the Jiangnan Textile Division, Jiangnan's textile is the big head, and he didn't do anything about it after receiving our money, and he also stabbed us upside down, do you say that the emperor is still man-made? ”

"People die for money, birds die for food, this truth seems to be true at all, for the sake of a money word, even our Miss Shen began to speak rudely, you can imagine how big the role of this blockage is. But I think as I just said, it's still the same sentence: people die for money. The emperor is also a human being, and it is reasonable for him to break the so-called oath for money, not to mention that such oaths are not reliable in the first place. The world is not the king's land, but he thinks that the whole world has changed to listen to his dispatch, he can do whatever he wants, even your Shen family should be his assets, Zhu Houxi didn't order you all to hand over to the public is enough to be embarrassed. Lu Bing said with a smile.

Shen Yeshan blew his beard and glared, the man's equipment, coupled with the woman's coquettish appearance, always made people shudder, and goosebumps rose suddenly. I only heard her say: "Lu Bing, Lu Bing, do you have a conscience, my Shen Jiabai has given you so much money, and the business you pulled is just the deal, and now I don't ask you to do anything, so I don't want you to say a thoughtful word, and spit out all the money to me." ”

Lu Bingzhi said that Shen Yew was joking, so he pretended to be panicked and said: "Don't, don't, I've eaten it all, and it's disgusting to vomit it again." Haha Good medicine is good for disease, loyal words are good for deeds, the truth is sometimes not good, but it works, it can allow you to accurately locate and solve the problem more quickly, if you can achieve such an effect, I Lu Bing let you scold me and endure it. ”

"But then again, Miss Shen, the Shen family was still able to agree after the price of five million a year was offered by the Holy Lord, which shows that the profit is terrible, so you have to agree. Don't look at me, don't give me a whole thing, businessmen can't afford to be unprofitable, I don't believe any nonsense about maintaining relations, your Shen family and the old Zhu family have a deep hatred, if it weren't for the huge interests this time, how could you cooperate with the imperial court. Lu Bing said.

After a pause, Lu Bing couldn't help but feel a little thirsty, and had already retreated because of the top secret conversation, Lu Bing took a sip of Meng Xueqing's tea on the table, and continued: "Besides, the emperor must have heard something before he would add money to you, and your endurance is very revealing, which corrects the emperor's intelligence and speculation on the side, which can be regarded as your Shen family's self-recruitment, you played the wrong move." Now Zhu Houxi has taken control of the lifeblood of your Shen family, with my understanding of him, such heartwarming things will be indispensable in the future, and he will continue to test the bottom line of your Shen family again and again. You tell me the truth, what I want to ask is how much can the Shen family make in the Jiangnan business that they occupy during this period of time in a year? ”

Shen Yeshan took a deep breath and thought for a long time. nodded as if he had made some big decision, and then stretched out a finger at Lu Bing. Lu Bing asked guessingly: "Ten million taels?" ”

"Ten times more than that." Shen Yeshan said bluntly, and everyone was in an uproar. They all looked at each other, no wonder the Shen family was cattle, how could this kind of business not be cattle, and the overall income was higher than the total tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, the emperor, as the shopkeeper of the world, is just a small business compared to the business of the Shen family, let alone a narrow-minded person like Zhu Houxi. Even if Lu Bing is in that position, he can't stand it.

Lu Bing sighed and said, "Shen Yeshan, it's not right." Why do you tell you so honestly how much money your Shen family can make? This shouldn't be, isn't this a top-secret thing, even if we have a good relationship, you won't say it. What's more, the Shen family earns this money strangely, so much money. I'm afraid that even the whole south will not be able to earn it. How did the Shen family do it, could it be that the entire south has fallen into the hands of the Shen family, even the people who dig dung on the street? I'm afraid that otherwise, then it may not be enough, so what is the purpose of your visit? ”

After Lu Bing finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yew with his eyes, hoping that Shen Yew could give an answer. Shen Zishan nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Where is Lu Bing a martial artist, he is simply a ghost." I can't say how the Shen family earned this family business. This is a secret, once it is revealed, although others cannot imitate it. But you Lu Bing must be able to, there will always be endless troubles in the future, there is no father and son in the mall, let alone friends, I have to guard against you, hehe, I am also a loyal and untruthful truth. I'm going to whet your appetite, but I came here today to ask you one thing, that is, about Zhu Houxi's untrustworthy matter, what do you say should be done? ”

Lu Bing shook his head and said, "I still think it's very strange, you won't come here this time just to ask me about this." Okay, for the sake of the past friendships, I'll just talk about it, the class has an axe, it's not right, a big expert like Miss Shen can't laugh at me. I think there is no need to endure it anymore, the Shen family has a showdown with the emperor directly, and the business will not make the money this year's money to feed the dogs, anyway, last year's profits have also been earned, and everyone has broken up, I think that the emperor must be more anxious than you at this time. ”

"You go on, I'll listen." Shen Yeshan saw Lu Bing pause, nodded and said.

"There are two reasons, one is that as far as I know, the Shen family has occupied the majority of Jiangnan's tax revenue, once it is withdrawn, it should be within two or three years, the economy will regress rapidly, no one can replace it, and the reduction of national tax revenue is inevitable. Although the emperor has made some policies over the years, the economy has been slow but continues to pick up, and the treasury is also a lot stronger, but he is still very poor, who knows that the floor tiles in front of the Fengtian Hall in the previous dynasty are broken and there is no money to repair them, and now he has just mixed the whole country with food and clothing, so the emperor needs money more than you. In addition, the past few years have not been peaceful, a small number of peasant uprisings in many places, and many places have been seriously affected, and the state must open warehouses and allocate grain funds for disaster relief. If today's country lacks a large part of your Shen family's taxes, and the latecomers do not make up for it quickly, the emperor will inevitably become poor again as soon as the vacuum state is revealed. What's more, if you don't do business with each other, the emperor will lose five hundred taels of benefits every year, so it's no wonder if you're not in a hurry. He wants to make a big head and make a lot of money, but you can simply shoot two scattered chickens and fly eggs to counteract Zhu Houxi. ”

Lu Bing talked eloquently, although many words are too modern for everyone to understand, but the meaning before and after the connection can also be guessed, which makes Lu Bing even more knowledgeable and powerful. Lu Bing continued: "The second point, there is no end to concessions, today is to add more money, collect more taxes, and go back to the Textile Division, what about next year?" I'm afraid I'm going to knock on the bones and suck the marrow next year, this is an endless business, I'm afraid that it will definitely affect the channel of your Shen family's tens of thousands of dollars every year. In case the emperor finds out about this channel and asks for it for you, will you give it at that time? If you don't send troops to raid your home and continue to be wanted, if you give it, you will really lose your wife and lose your army. ”

"Although there is no need to endure it anymore, but now it drags on like this, and if it goes on, let the emperor get used to eating his mouth, take it smoothly, and raise a round body and fat, and when the time comes, he doesn't want to endure it anymore and can't turn over. You said that in addition to your Shen family, I Lu Bing can also do this channel, although I haven't guessed it yet, but I think the emperor will definitely be able to do it. I, Lu Bing, am full of confidence, but I still have a good idea of which is more important than the emperor and me. As I said just now, then when he discovers this trade route, that will be the catastrophe of your Shen family, if you don't kill you, you can't be a monopoly, and monopoly can make a fortune, I think your Shen family should know better than me. Besides, you Shen family doesn't have the ability to be a blatant enemy of the imperial court, right? It's better to have a showdown now, at most it is a relationship that can't be bought and sold, rather than a rebellious thief, which is reasonable and reasonable, and it is not easy to be criticized. ”

Shen Yeshan clapped his hands and stood up, his face was filled with bursts of blush, and said: "It's all hit, it's all hit, what my father said is really good, Lu Bing is the business wizard in the world, okay, I know the answer, we will have a date later, I want to see what earth-shattering things Lu Bing can do after resigning." Farewell, please stay, don't send it far. Shen Yeshan said and left the hall quickly, leaving everyone at a loss.

Lu Bing gave his hands and fists to send him off, but saw that Shen Zishan did not shirk at all, just strode away, Lu Bing scratched his head and muttered: "Neuropathy." Then he walked away.

Yang Feiyan said with a smile: "These two people are not very sick, by the way, sister, what did Shen Yew say just now, what did his father say and so on?" Yang Feiyan's words were a little jealous, although the two of them had a deep relationship when they were trapped together and helped each other, but for men, Yang Feiyan didn't want to have a fourth child to get started.

Meng Xueqing smiled and said: "Hehe, sister, listen to your jealous look, how is this possible, if I had been a little worried before, now, my lord is afraid that he will not get the promise of the Shen family in two or three years, businessmen value profit over parting, they are mercenary, the master can't shine again, the Shen family will not make a move." In their eyes, marriage is just a deal to take their business to the next level. However, a few years later, if the lord is important again, it is inevitable that this kind of thing will happen, the power struggle will increase his strength, and if the lord also likes it, then he will fulfill his wish, which is not a bad thing for our Lu family. ”

"Sister, you have a really big heart." Yang Feiyan snorted coldly, and then the sisters looked at each other and smiled, Xiangyun also gaged from it, and Xia Dade had to go back to the courtyard to practice martial arts first. (To be continued......)
