Chapter 338: Who Took the Advantage
"Then there is the Han Thorn History, the war horse and ordnance are the most urgently needed things in the Han Thorn History, of course, the war horse is Fengning's specialty, so the price is still very good, our profit is also good, how can a horse be around one hundred and eighty, as for the ordnance, it is more complicated, it is not easy to calculate, but in short, the profit is very expensive. Counting the 20,000 war horses that have been prepared to be delivered, as well as ordnance, it is no problem to earn three or four million from it, and Han Tingshi has a great appetite, and it is said that there is still a demand for fifty or sixty thousand in the future, these are all good profits, and the people of Fengning and Miyun can also get good benefits from it. Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo! Is this account clear? ”
Fang Zhiwen squinted his eyes and looked at Guo Tu with a confused face with a smile, in fact, he was almost laughing in his heart.
The corners of Guo Tu's mouth twitched, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva reluctantly, moved his lips, and said a little weakly: "The general said that tens of millions of taels of compensation are needed to make up for the general's losses?" ”
"What? Isn't that right? ”
Guo Tu thought hard and said, "No, the problem is, my lord probably doesn't have the strength to be friends with the general.1
"Mr. Guo is too humble, the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, the family has a big business, this money and food is life and death for the official, and for the Yuan family, it will not be taken into account at all, maybe Mr. Guo does not know the Yuan family very well, you can convey the official's request to the original, maybe he will have a different statement."
"This"
"Mr. Guo, the amount mentioned by the official seems huge, but in fact, it can be paid in installments, as long as some interest is added appropriately."
"General 1 Guo Tu is very strange, what does Fang Zhiwen want to say? Why does this sound so weird? If this is said at another time and place, for example, after Yuan Shao has agreed on the approximate price, Fang Zhiwen said this is very appropriate, but now, is it a little too early?
Here's the problem. Fang Zhiwen is not a stupid person, how could he say something inexplicable, there must be a deep meaning in this statement, the problem is that Guo Tu's state is really bad now, and he can't understand what Fang Zhiwen wants to say. ~
Fang Zhiwen looked at Guo Tu's confused appearance, and explained kindly: "Pay in installments and batches." You can take the time to raise slowly, and this process of raising and transporting. However, specialized talents are needed, and they must be trustworthy people to be responsible, if not, there will be people who will do it, which must be guarded against, and the official wants to remind Mr. Guo. If Mr. Guo suggested that he should pay in installments and batches, he must pay attention to this. ”
Guo Tu was stunned. Zhen Xiang was a little inexplicable, when did the lord become so kind, and he actually had to remind the other party not to be manipulated by corrupt officials within him? This doesn't seem to be the style of the lord!
Poor Zhen Xiang didn't know that sometimes, the so-called reminder and warning might have the opposite effect.
At this moment, Guo Tu's heart is very complicated, there are worries, ecstasy, and of course, deep jealousy. It's just that this kind of thing is actually very difficult to avoid.
Guo Tu knew that Fang Zhiwen was pointing out a way to make money, no, make a lot of money to himself, and Fang Zhiwen would naturally understand it as long as he pointed it out slightly, because this kind of thing has long been familiar with it.
When purchasing grain, you can buy it at a lower price, because this matter is a government affair. When it is sold, it is according to the public price, which can already make a lot of money from it, not to mention. You can also carry private goods and use the public's capacity and funds together. Ship your own goods and help yourself make a profit.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked! The benefits in this are really amazing, if Yuan Shao really reached such a long-term grain supply agreement with Fang Zhiwen, then the person who presided over this matter will definitely make a lot of money, there is absolutely no need to doubt this.
Now, there is no need for Fang Zhiwen to say anything, Guo Tu also knows, now his own interests have been kidnapped by Fang Zhiwen, although it is a little embarrassing and even uncomfortable, but Guo Tu really doesn't want to miss this opportunity to make money.
What's more, even if Guo Tu is unwilling to accept this condition, I am afraid that others, such as Xiao Ji and Xu You, will gladly accept this condition, after all, it is Yuan Shao who is in charge in the end, and he is just giving him a suggestion.
Speaking of which, even if 10 million taels of silver, including interest, are divided into one-year installments, it doesn't seem particularly unacceptable, if because of this, Fang Zhiwen no longer wantonly helps Taiping Dao train the army, and no longer sells unlimited war horse equipment to Han Fu, then this price may not be worth it.
Compared with the great rivers and mountains of Jizhou, 10 million taels of silver is nothing, with the wealth of Jizhou, a county can raise this amount in a year, as long as it is slightly pressed to suppress the world, there are so many families in Jizhou, divided into one point, one family is only hundreds of thousands, if this can buy Fang Zhiwen's stop, it is indeed worth it.
Guo Tu's eyes turned quickly, calculating the gains and losses of this matter in his heart, but in fact, he was just calculating how to complete this matter, so that he could make a lot of money from it.
Fang Zhiwen looked at Guo Tu who was thinking nervously with a smile, he was very satisfied with his trick, Guo Tu's character is really easy to use!
It's just that Fang Zhiwen didn't think about it, the benefits contained in this are so huge, even if it is a loyal person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to refuse such a temptation at once, not to mention, it is not only personal interests, but also the interests of the family, so the temptation is three points greater out of thin air.
"What the general said is very reasonable, but this year is like this, it is difficult to guarantee that Han Fu and Taiping Dao will come to find the general again next year, isn't this matter endless?"
Guo Tu still retains his sanity, knowing that no matter what, now his backer behind him is the Yuan family, and it is okay to use the power of the Yuan family a little bit to loot it, but if it really hurts the vitality of the Yuan family, then it will be worth the loss, unless he has another way out, the problem is, there is no yet!
"Mr. Guo, being a man and doing things are about a moderation, but also need to pay attention to a credibility issue, people do not stand without trust, although the official is a military man, but he also knows this truth, since he agreed to Mr. Guo, he will naturally do his best to sit on this matter, as for next year, next year's things no one can measure, and now I am worried about some unfounded suspicion."
Fang Zhiwen's voice was not loud, but it contained strong confidence and determination, which dispelled Guo Tu's last doubts, or in other words, Guo Tu may not really be worried about what will happen next year, what Guo Tu is really worried about is that Fang Zhiwen will go back on his word, he promised Yuan Shao here, and turned his head to bargain with Taiping Dao and Han Fu, this kind of excessive squeeze is difficult to accept.
Of course, now it is only Fang Zhiwen's verbal assurance, who knows if Fang Zhiwen will really not go to Taiping Dao and Han Fu to extort bamboo again?
In fact, Fang Zhiwen really didn't give up the idea of going to Taiping Dao and Han Fu to continue extorting bamboo, but he would not do anything to tear up the agreement with Yuan Shao, after all, it is better for people to talk about credibility, otherwise this reputation will spread, and it will really damage reputation, and reputation has a great effect!
Speaking of which, Han Fu actually doesn't have so much money and food to support a large number of cavalry, 20,000 war horses have been digested by Han Fu for a period of time, as for the people of Taiping Dao, millions of money and food are still a lot of pressure on Taiping Dao, and they may not expect to continue to increase the number of trained troops.
However, the reason why the art of knocking bamboo poles is called art lies in how you can play smartly, in Fang Zhiwen's opinion, if you want to continue to knock on Han Fu and Zhang Jiao's bamboo poles, you may not be able to do it, there are many ways.
Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his waist and saluted Fang Zhiwen: "In this case, let me retire first, and Tu will come to visit the general again in the near future." ”
"Well, Mr. Guo is good! But time has to hurry, Zhen Xiang, send off the guests for me. ”
"No1
I understand under and retire 1
After sending Guo Tu away, Fang Zhiwen did not go back to his office immediately, but carefully thought about what happened just now, as well as Yuan Shao's possible reaction, and after thinking about it, it would be better to discuss this matter with everyone, so he called the guards to inform Zhen Jiang, Tian Chou, and Tian Feng to come here for a meeting.
And Fang Zhiwen himself washed the teapot and began to make tea again.
Zhen Xiang came back after a while, and while helping to make tea, Zhen Xiang asked suspiciously: "Lord, why has this Guo Tu changed so much before and after, why don't I understand that he suddenly seems to be on the side of the lord?" ”
Fang Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, laughing so much that Zhen Xiang was very embarrassed, obviously he had asked something stupid.
"Dingyuan, don't you know that when I reminded him to be careful of someone getting up and down, I was actually telling him that I could get up and down from it?"
"Huh!?"
"Does Dingyuan know how much profit can be earned in this?"
"How big?"
"Whatever you calculate, it won't be less than two million taels, and Guo Tu can use this position to win over or exclude the family in Jizhou, which also involves huge family interests, understand?"
"I see, no wonder he is on the side of the lord1
"It's not like you think, Guo Tu is still on Yuan Shao's side, but on the basis of not hurting Yuan Shao too much, he is temporarily aligned with our interests."
"It's so complicated1 Zhen Xiang blinked, trying hard to figure out the Tao here, but unfortunately he was a little powerless.
Fang Zhiwen sighed softly, if this world is simpler, it is naturally much more cute, but where there are people, how can it be simple, the water is clear, there are no fish! If that were the case, this world might not exist, Fang Zhiwen shook his head and patted Zhen Xiang on the shoulder.
"Come on, Dingyuan 1
"Oh 1 to be continued.
