Chapter Ninety-Four: Creating Civil Strife
Rest for the night.
Sima Jingling and Ah Pu discussed the details with Mrs. Lin and Steward Zhu until late at night, and then stayed under the arrangement of Steward Zhu.
It's just that at night, only Sima Jingling and Ah Pu can be very relieved as if nothing has happened, and fall into a deep sleep.
And Mrs. Lin and Steward Zhu were both tossing and turning, thinking about all the things that happened in the day today.
When Steward Zhu got up in the middle of the night, he saw Mrs. Lin sitting in the courtyard, and somewhere he found out the fine wine he had treasured for many years, drinking it facing the moonlight.
He looked at the opened wine with some distress, walked up to Mrs. Lin with a sad face, and said to Mrs. Lin:
"Why can't I escape your poisonous hands? I found this with great difficulty. ”
Mrs. Lin glanced up at Steward Zhu, and then, as if on purpose, a small glass of wine that had already been handed to her lips suddenly stopped, and then slowly turned around in front of Steward Zhu before she raised her head and drank the glass of wine.
Steward Zhu gasped and looked at Mrs. Lin's eyes, which were full of accusations.
But he also knew what Mrs. Lin was sitting here drinking for without rest at night, after all, he got up for the same reason.
He looked at the little wine left, and then at Madame Lin's face, which was not drunk at all, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He said to Mrs. Lin, "Mrs. Lin, if you drink like this, I'm afraid you won't get drunk." If you want to get drunk, Mrs. Lin, it is better to get rid of the distractions in your heart first. ”
Mrs. Lin smiled faintly, glanced at Steward Zhu, then drank another glass, then invited Steward Zhu to sit down, poured a glass of wine for Steward Zhu with her own hands, and said to him:
"Steward Zhu got up late at night, for the same reason as me. Now that you're here, let's sit down and have a drink. ”
Steward Zhu shook his head, walked to Mrs. Lin and sat down, took the wine handed to him by Mrs. Lin, glanced at the glass of wine with a complicated face, and finally drank it all.
He felt the sweetness in his mouth, shook his head and said to Mrs. Lin, "Use my wine to invite me in turn, Mrs. Lin, you will do more business than me." ”
Mrs. Lynn laughed,
"I don't dare to steal the limelight from your Steward Zhu, speaking of all kinds of expenses over the years, if it weren't for your Steward Zhu's mind, how could I afford it?"
When Manager Zhu heard this, his face couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Speaking of which, he was able to be reused and become the most trusted person in this force organized by Mrs. Lin's back, which was inseparable from his personal earning ability.
He was a small businessman, and before Mrs. Lin came to him, he was thinking about some gains and losses every day, and he never thought that he would have such a day when he needed to be vigilant all the time.
However, his heart was very happy.
As a small businessman in Beiaoguo, he actually has the deepest feeling for the living environment of the people at the bottom of Beiaoguo.
Especially small businessmen like them, what they have to do every day is actually to struggle to survive, seek business opportunities in the cracks, and look for opportunities.
Because in Beiao, the content of this part of commerce is basically in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and it is monopolized by a few big aristocratic families.
Beiao Shangwu, in fact, does not pay much attention to the two parts of culture and commerce, especially for business, Beiaoguo is very strict, and even does not want to communicate with people through business at all.
In the past, they were supreme in force, and the small countries or tribes around them were not able to fight them at all.
So when they are short of food, money, and resources, they will gather their forces and invade the small nobles of the surrounding countries to get what they need.
But later, their method didn't work.
The main reason is the gradual strengthening of their old rival Nan Yuguo.
The Southern Imperial Kingdom is located in the plains, with abundant food and rich land, and with the friendly exchanges with the Western Fan Kingdom, their economy has developed rapidly, and it has become a very jealous existence of the Northern Proud Kingdom.
In the past, when they were able to win the Southern Imperial Kingdom, they were able to knock out a large amount of money from the Southern Imperial Kingdom to make up for the silver money they spent for starting the war, which is the origin of the war to feed the war.
Later, the armament of the Southern Imperial Kingdom became stronger and stronger, and when they launched a war, they could not please anything, so every time they launched a war, they would lose some money, and in the long run, the treasury was empty, and the court of the Northern Proud Kingdom finally had to start paying attention to commerce.
It brought the underground merchants who secretly resold goods to the surface, so that these merchants who could not go to the surface before could finally appear in the eyes of everyone openly.
However, although it is said that the Northern Proud Kingdom finally has merchants and finally has the concept of commercial development, but like the Southern Imperial Kingdom, the treatment of merchants in the country is not very good, and they actually have no status, and they are not even as good as ordinary people.
However, although the merchants of the Southern Imperial Kingdom have no status, the imperial court will not control them too much, and will allow the merchants to develop freely. How far it can develop depends on the individual's ability.
But in Beiao, the imperial court will intervene.
They didn't want the small merchants to sell everything, so they only let the big merchants, who were personally controlled by their big nobles, come forward and make some deals with the outsiders. In this way, even if commercial trade is not so free, it can still make some contribution to the treasury of the Northern Proud Country.
After all, for the Northern Proud Country, their main purpose is to start a war and start a war. Only when they have every piece of land in this world in their pockets may they think seriously about what they will do in the future.
Therefore, the people outside know about the Beiao merchants, that is, there are only a few famous people, and they will basically find out which big nobles are standing behind their merchants.
It's like saying that Han Li was at the beginning, everyone knew that it was Wei Lan standing behind him, although now that Han Li was driven out by the caravan, he didn't know what the two of them were planning again.
Steward Zhu is actually a small businessman with ability but no background.
Because of his years of experience, he is very familiar with this kind of thing, knows when to do something, and knows how to exchange the least resources for the highest profits. It can be said that he is one of the relatively good mixed among all the small businessmen.
But even so, Steward Zhu still hopes that he can do business freely, although he can be like the Western Fan Kingdom, focusing on business, everyone can do business, everyone is a businessman, but at least he should be like those merchants in the Southern Imperial Kingdom, although he has no status and no status level, but at least he will not be subject to much restrictions. Rest for the night.
