Chapter 70: Wealth and Danger
Zhong Hui originally wanted to be polite, but after thinking about it, he agreed directly, after all, it was the master who personally made the shot, and the quality must be guaranteed.
Next, Zhong Hui began to draw a map of the weapon, and then agreed on the dimensions and handed it to Lu Shi. However, when Zhong Hui heard the price of making these weapons, his heart almost jumped out.
According to his current monthly salary, it will take at least ten years to pay for these weapons, and this is only one of them, but he has built six of them, one of them, one of them, one of them, one of the three battalions under his command, and one of the bells, if it goes on like this, he will not be able to afford to sell him.
"That master, I don't have a lot of money on hand, see if you can ......"
Before Lu Shi could speak, the middle-aged man behind him said angrily: "Brother, you just don't know how to lift, Lu Chang personally opened the furnace to cast weapons for you, and many people in the capital can't ask for it, you are too expensive." ”
"Eh, don't be presumptuous. Lu Shi stopped the man from continuing, "I understand Xiaoyou's words, but you get what you pay for, and the things we produce in Bailian Lu have always been worth what price." Since Xiaoyou is in difficulty, I think so, I will build two Breaking Blade-level weapons for you, and the other four will be forged by the disciples, and the price is also cheap, what do you think?"
Lu Shi has already said this, what else can Zhong Hui say, so he had to nod his head and agree to come down and go crazy out of the Hundred Refining House, Zhong Hui has been thinking about how to make the most money in the fastest time, although Lu Shi has given him the biggest discount, but now it seems that he still can't afford it, and he has to find a way to get the money.
When he first came here, he wanted to make a lot of money and travel the world, but fate was such a coincidence, and he had no choice to get to where he is today. Now is the time to force him to realize his original idea. However, at this moment, he realized that he had no clue. Zhong Hui, who was depressed, kept his head down and thought on the road, and followed him honestly, he also felt that Zhong Hui was in difficulty, but it was obvious that he couldn't help Zhong Hui.
"Commander Zhong?" Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded from behind.
Suddenly heard a woman calling himself, Zhong Hui didn't react, looked back, and saw a woman in a purple Luo skirt, dressed luxuriously but not enchanting, generous and decent.
Zhong Hui looked familiar at first glance, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and he looked puzzled. Zhong Hui thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't remember, so he asked, "I'm sorry, I don't know if you are?"
"Little girl Cui Ying, we met in the auction house of Jubaozhai. Come to think of it, I'm afraid the commander doesn't remember. ”
Zhong Hui patted his head and immediately reacted, "Oh, you're the strong woman." I remember. ”
"Strong woman?" the commander laughed. The little woman is just a weak woman who is a businessman, and she can't be a strong person. ”
"Huh. Zhong Hui couldn't explain to her what a strong woman meant, so he had to smile awkwardly.
"I wonder what Miss Cui is looking for?"
Cui Ying did not respond positively to Zhong Hui's question, but said, "I wonder if the commander can appreciate his face and accompany the little girl to have a meal?"
Zhong Hui knew that this Cui Ying would not come to him for no reason, and it happened that he was short of money now, so he could see if he could get some oil and water from her, so he agreed to Cui Ying's request. Along the way, Cui Ying showed her most talented as a businessman, chatted with Zhong Hui very happily, and in a short time, she understood Zhong Hui's preferences thoroughly. Of course, it is not excluded that Zhong Hui himself wants to tell her.
A few people came to Fengxian Tower, Zhong Hui stood in front of the building, and felt a little emotion in his heart, the last time he came here, he met Ye Die, I don't know what chance he will have this time. A few people went upstairs and sat in the private room on the top floor, and after a few polite words, Cui Ying said straight to the point: "Brother Ming, you must have guessed that the little girl would not come to you for no reason." ”
Zhong Hui took a bite of food and nodded. To tell the truth, the food in Fengxian Mansion is really authentic, Zhong Hui can't help but eat a few more bites every time he comes, his way of eating is already very cold, and the madness next to him is up, and he directly picks up the plate and pours it into his mouth. Zhong Hui also stopped him a few times with his hand, but he didn't use it, and he didn't see Cui Ying and her maid move chopsticks, so he didn't stop the madness, thinking that he wouldn't take him out again next time, so as not to be embarrassed.
"Brother Ming, let's be honest, this time the little woman is really in trouble and needs Brother Ming's help. “
"Oh, you are the eldest lady of the Cui family, what other uneven difficulties do you need to find me?" Zhong Hui stopped his chopsticks and asked, Zhong Hui really didn't know, there are still problems in this world, money can't solve them, even if there is, his father's status in the court is not low.
"This is a long story, Brother Ming may not know that the circulation of goods in Shangjing must be checked by the city defense battalion. ”
Zhong Hui nodded, "Well, I really don't know about this, I leave the specific affairs of the city defense battalion to my subordinates." I don't really know what to do, but what's the problem?"
"Originally, there was no problem, but since Brother Ming took office, the import and export tax on restricted bulk goods in the city defense battalion has been increased by more than half. Over the past few months, the little woman has been losing money, and out of helplessness, she had to ask Brother Ming for help. “
When Zhong Hui heard this, he slapped the table vigorously, so frightened that the crazy hand that was picking up the plate trembled.
"This group of bastards dared to do such a thing, don't worry, I will immediately investigate it strictly after I go back, find one by one, and deal with one by one, and dare to ignore what I said, it's really against the sky. "Zhong Hui was really angry this time, I didn't expect that someone would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head and commit a crime against the wind, it seems that there are not enough people to kill.
Cui Ying was also startled when she saw Zhong Hui's posture, and immediately stood up and persuaded: "Brother Ming, stop being angry, in the final analysis, don't blame the people in the city defense camp." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Cui Ying hurriedly explained: "Here's the thing, in the past, when the development of the capital was not large, in order to prohibit the outflow of goods, an export tax was levied, and if the goods were more than five cars, the tax was levied according to 10% of the total value of the goods. Judging from the situation at that time, there were not many things to export, so naturally there was no problem. But later, Shangjing developed bigger and bigger, and there were more and more goods vehicles imported and exported, and big merchants like us often had a large cargo of one or two hundred cars, and if they were taxed according to the previous taxes, then the merchants would not be able to make a profit. So we merchants have a common rule with the city defense battalion.
