784, the "Iron Triangle" of Officials and Merchants (I)

"I've seen Lord Jing, I've seen Ma County's order." Feng Zhishui entered the county government and said quickly.

And Jingwen took the initiative to say: "Boss Feng, I heard that you are now piling up a mountain of grain, and your warehouse is full, it seems that you have really made a lot of money!" ”

And Feng Zhishui hurriedly laughed twice, obviously not caring about Jingwen's sarcasm. This time, since they have colluded, they want to threaten the government. However, Jingwen used the majestic capital to tell them, what is the power of capital like a mountain. It is impossible for these small merchants to withstand it. And now Feng Zhishui wants to come over and surrender, and then ask Jingwen not to care about the things they colluded with. As long as you can maintain the industry and don't be squeezed to death by Jingwen's abundant capital, there will be no problem. Therefore, now Feng Zhishui wants to come over and surrender and save his strength.

"Lord Jingwen, one of your whips is for the benefit of the people, which is a good policy that has not been seen in hundreds of years. However, there are some villains, blinded by lard, not only do not understand the adult's heart for the country and the people, but want to resist the adult's good governance. This really doesn't make sense, so these bastards really should clean up. Feng Zhishui said.

And Ma Zhou immediately asked: "It seems that Boss Feng, you are also involved!" ”

And Feng Zhishui hurriedly said: "Oh, I was also forced." At that time, the whole trend was the general trend, and I didn't dare not agree! If I don't agree, then I will be united by them and squeezed out, then I will be miserable. So, please forgive me. ”

Jingwen looked at this guy's face and got used to it. If it was the Jingwen before the crossing, he would definitely slap him when he saw this kind of shameless face. But now Jingwen's qi cultivation kung fu is also much better, so he is not angry, if he wants to be angry, he will already be angry in the officialdom of Chang'an. As for whether what Feng Zhishui said was true or false, Jing Wen didn't care at all, Jing Wen just needed to know that this Feng Zhishui was going to compromise. Since he was going to compromise. Then you can start preparing to break this big net right away.

"Feng Zhishui, since you said that there are seven or eight grain merchants in Mengjin County, although you rank second, aren't you completely strong?" Jingwen asked.

"Yes! Although I claim to be the second-ranked grain merchant in Mengjin County, I don't make much money, it's all hard-earned money! So, please forgive the villain. The villain knows that the adult is not short of money, and there is a concubine in the villain's house, who can serve the adult at any time. Feng Zhishui said shamelessly.

"Phew, I don't just leave seeds!" Jingwen said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes. Since adults don't want it, please make it clear what adults need? Feng Zhishui immediately asked.

And Jingwen immediately said: "There are too many grain merchants in Mengjin County, there are seven or eight, and it is not easy to manage!" ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Feng Zhishui asked.

Jingwen said: "Seven or eight grain merchants are not easy to manage, if there is only one grain merchant, then the grain in Mengjin County can be collected and sold in the future, which is also a good thing for our Mengjin County." ”

And after Feng Zhishui listened. Immediately, my heart was overjoyed, this was Jingwen's hint in Hongguoguo. Jingwen means that he is willing to support him as the only grain merchant in Mengjin County, so it is really a fortune. If he can monopolize the grain trade in Mengjin County in the future, I am afraid that it will be very profitable for him. Although there is no more annual gluttonous feast. However, if you monopolize the grain trade in a county, the profits can also be expanded a lot, after all, it is better to make small profits and sell them than to have a gluttonous feast.

And since Jingwen said so in front of him, it seems that this candidate is also him.

"But my lord. Do you want to pass guò power? This isn't good! Feng Zhishui asked.

Feng Zhishui also knew that it was very bad and against the rules of the mall to drive others away through guò power. So. He also doesn't want Jing Wentong guò power to drive away others, so does he still use it to be a man in front of the villagers?

"No, we use economic means. Later, under a whipping law, we collected a lot of taxes on grain, and then we sold some of the grain for money. And we can sell this part of the grain to you in a unified manner. This way you will never have to worry about running out of supplies, and we can guarantee that we will provide you with food at any time. I can ask the Ma County Commander of Mengjin County to sign an agreement for five years at a time, and within the next five years, all the grain that needs to be sold by the Mengjin County Government will come to you, and it can be sold at a ninety-fifty percent discount on the market price, what do you think? ”

When Feng Zhishui heard this, he felt that although the profit was not as big as he imagined, he couldn't hold up the amount of food! If there is enough grain, the profit will be very rich, which is also a small profit but quick turnover. As long as it is transported to Luoyang, the price still has a certain advantage. Moreover, the key is to be able to monopolize the grain trade in Mengjin County for five years, and the profits obtained will be very large.

"However, the ordinary people who sell grain may not come to me!" Feng Zhishui said.

And Jingwen immediately said: "I can ask the Mazhou County Order to grant you the title of a righteous businessman, and then grant you a mobile red flag to tell the people that your reputation is very good." And we can guarantee that within five years, the mobile red flags will be with you. And after five years, it's up to the people to judge whether you can leave this mobile red flag behind. However, if you get the mobile red flag, then you can't drive people away, then you can see for yourself. ”

"Yes, I'll be able to do it!" Feng Zhishui said.

Of course, Feng Zhishui knew the role of this mobile red flag, that is, the government advertised himself. This is advertised by the government, and the people don't believe it. In ancient times, the official position was much stricter than that of later generations, so the people thought that the official news, even if it was false, was true. As long as the government can come forward to prove it, then you, even if you are a black-hearted businessman, you can get a lot of credibility points out of thin air. And Feng Zhishui of course wants to take advantage of this opportunity to drive others away, because with the mobile red flag, then the people will come to him to sell grain.

"However, you'd better maintain your credibility, and the purchase price shouldn't be too dark, otherwise the people may not vote for you in five years, then you will lose the mobile red flag." Jingwen said.

"Understand, understand, villain understand!" Feng Zhishui said.

After Feng Zhishui finished speaking, he left happily, obviously he was very happy to be able to reach an agreement with Jingwen this time. In the future, it will be the only grain merchant in Mengjin County. Of course, this is not very safe, and it must be done to buy the hearts of the people. (To be continued......)
