Chapter 197: Imperial Merchant

Just like Xia Mo said to Lao Ba. Things have to be done one by one, and if the action is big, the old man will not spare him first. Therefore, Lao Ba's main target is the eunuch group, and he rectified the eunuchs in the palace as quickly as possible, so that after other people saw the methods of the eighth master, they naturally knew what to do.

The order in the palace has finally returned to normal, but this is only the simplest link in the internal affairs office. Originally, the entry and exit of the palace had their own rules, and eating was the most important part of the day. There are so many people in the palace, and it is a headache to buy this ring every day.

And the supply of financial materials in the palace is actually supplied by several major imperial merchants, and behind these imperial merchants all represent the interests of certain groups, and there is the old man's brother back then, who is personally guarding or something, all of whom are people who can speak in front of the old man. Can the old eight move? The eighth is not afraid, but Xia Mo is afraid.

Xia Mo has been with Su Ma for many years, although she doesn't know much about these things in the palace, but Su Ma has been taught with great emphasis on the relationship of interests. Su Ma talked a lot about the old things of the Xiaozhuang era, and then told her that even if she is as expensive as the Queen Mother, there are only two words everywhere in life, that is, "compromise"! No one can live unscrupulously, no one can.

Xia Mo didn't go through business either. But I've watched a few TV series anyway, she still knows about the bidding, and as soon as she says about what she knows, Xia Mo is just an ordinary urban kindergarten teacher, what can she really teach the eighth child? When she thought about it, she actually worked much harder in this life than in her previous life, so she could only mention one concept.

But who is the eighth child, who has been in business for so long, his brain is not in vain, Xia Mo mentioned it, he immediately understood, praised Xia Mo, kissed it, and went to the study to study it by himself.

Lao Ba recruited several big imperial businessmen, and the uncles shouted, not to mention how considerate their attitude was. Just kidding, it's all the old man's own people, it's really offended, the old man tore himself first.

The imperial businessmen have followed the old man smoothly in the past few years, in fact, to be honest, they are not black, at least not a thousand times the price to send to the palace, but they also have no way, they asked for a picture to take care of things before, they are not black, people force them to be black, and they don't want to really make trouble with the old man. Doesn't this make the old man embarrassed?

What's more, they also have some thoughts to benefit their children and grandchildren, the old man has always been lenient to the old man in the old house, and he gives all the fat shortage, and he said that he can pick a son to attack the position of his imperial businessman. It's really a mess, it's a trivial matter if you can't keep your position, what should my son do? Now that the family has a big business, I really can't afford to plant it.

They are all old men, so they naturally understand the old eight prison countries, but they are afraid that they will take advantage of the old man's absence to ask everyone to recognize the master again. Each sleeve is loaded with a note, not a silver ticket, but a plan, and they have all gathered together the day before to discuss, and the peso Etu has increased by one percent at that time, so I have to give the eighth master a little face.

But when they arrived at the Internal Affairs Mansion, they saw that the eighth child was the same as when he was a child, and he was clever and obedient, which made them a little confused. What is this for? Kill them and they won't believe that Lao Ba just asked them to catch up? One by one, they touched their sleeves, looking very nervous.

The eighth child saw that it was almost over, sat down and knocked lightly on the table, looking as if it was very difficult. The hearts of the imperial merchants hung higher. Is the eighth going to have surgery?

The old eight cleared his throat and smiled:

"You all grew up watching the eighth child, and they are all the elders of the eighth child, and when I was a child, the eighth child didn't eat less candy from my uncles. Huang Ama handed over the Internal Affairs Office to the eighth child, and the uncles also knew that the eighth was the most impatient to do things. It's just that Huang Ama said so, and he can't let the old man really say that the eighth child is a loser!

Cai'er rectified a group of minions in the palace who didn't know the height of the sky, only to know that if you don't know the price of firewood and rice, look at the thousands of things in the internal affairs office, it's really easy to do in the palace, but what to do outside the palace?

But think about it, you are all the old people around Huang Ama, and you are the most trusted by Huang Ama, what is there to worry about with the support of your uncles? So I invited all the uncles to talk and talk. Look at what the Eighth House of Internal Affairs should do? Let's make a charter and come out, and the eighth child is better to deal with the old man to kill his son. ”

"The slave is sent by the eighth master, don't dare to disobey." They are all old people, who have lived finely, and said in unison, without a single superfluous word. In addition to helping the internal affairs government procure, the imperial merchants also have the responsibility of helping the internal affairs government make money, for example, the thirteen lines in Guangzhou, all of which are foreigners' toys and are also monopolized by them, and the money obtained is the old man's private money, which is naturally a little harder.

But what they don't know is that they were really tough before, and now the most profitable people in the Internal Affairs Office are a few brothers in the Northeast, and they are not corrupt, and the old man does not rely on them so deeply.

The old man laughed. Naturally, I understand that although these are from Baoyi, this Baoyi is different from the Baoyi who knelt at his feet a few days ago.

"What does the master know, it's just that the old man can't see the master so clear now. When the master was in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, some people came to the door and took a fancy to this piece of cake. Although the master will not agree, the income in your hands is the grace of the emperor, and of course I, as a son, can't do that tiger's mouth. You're right, aren't you? ”

From the self-proclaimed eighth child just now, to the self-proclaimed master, the imperial merchants sitting below with three products suddenly felt goosebumps on their bodies, and their hands clenched tighter in their sleeves, feeling that it was unlikely that they wanted to get out of the whole body.

But in line with the unspoken business rule that the enemy does not move, I do not move, they hit a haha, but they just don't let go.

The eighth child is a little annoyed, these people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin.

"They gave the master an idea, saying that the previous stroke was too rough, and the few of you were too hard, so it was better to subdivide it again, and then let more people out to do it, I was afraid that I could share the burden of the old ones, and the master said at that time, what is this? Isn't this still taking the food of the elders?

As a result, they said that they all knew that the elders were loyal ministers of the emperor. is the most loyal, but the rumors outside are very unfavorable to you, if you can set an example and prove that you are loyal ministers, the emperor Ama is not wrong, you have to show sincerity.

Subdivide the errands, take the sign back to the Internal Affairs Office, and the old ones stand with them, who proposes a good method and a fair price, and who marks the errand back, and several of them are old people. Naturally, they have more ways than them, they fought for their loyalty to the emperor, and accompanied a few people to make a good show to block the mouth of the world.

I thought about it, this method is good, it's fresh, and it's so fun. A few of you should play with them, when you are bringing a newcomer, you have already gone to the excerpt with the old man, I think it will be approved in two days. Don't worry, even if there is really any accident, the old man still has a few things to guarantee, and naturally it will be handed over to the old ones, and the old man has always been kind to the old ones, and he will never kill them all. ”

The eighth smiled brightly, and the few people sitting below didn't even have the strength to wipe their sweat. In his words, although he did not take away their qualifications as imperial merchants, the old eight smiled and took back all the signatures back to the Internal Affairs Office, and they did not have signatures, so they were in vain. If you can't buy and sell, what kind of imperial merchant is it? Say that they won't take it all away, there will be a few things guaranteed, their family has a big business, and every day when they open their eyes, it is money, what is the guaranteed silver enough for? And the old man avoided it, and he had already agreed to it, so he either honestly competed with those businessmen for the lot, or quit from now.

The eighth child also invited them to eat with a smile, deliberately one egg per person, and then said very kindly, "Ten taels of silver, the saint is reluctant to eat more, and today I specially asked people to make a reward for a few uncles to show their honor." ”

The last straw was finally pressed. The elders didn't know how they got home, but the first thing they did when they got home was to recruit all their sons, close the door, tighten the door, and the errand was gone.

The next day. The elders were on the fold of resignation at the same time, all of them on the grounds of old age and infirmity, and they didn't even pay for their son's begging, and they all quit directly.

The excerpts of their resignations were sent to the palace along with other important military affairs. The old man let out a long sigh, they were all old people who had come with him since childhood, playing together when they were children, and when they were sad, they were also their long-term companions. And when Aobai was in power, it was also they who stood firmly behind themselves.

But looking at the fold of the old eight, he was in great pain, and finally said, "Now the old people are retreating, at least the dignity of the monarch and the minister." ’

The old man is fifty years old, who knows how many more years he can live? Now, of course, I can keep them rich and noble, and the guests and hosts get along, but when the pro-monarch comes to power, the sticks in their hands have to kill them. It is an honor to quit like this.

The old man gave the elders a commendation order, and sealed one of their heirs an honorary title, and the problem of the imperial merchant was over. The imperial businessmen cried loudly after receiving the holy decree, in fact, the excerpt of the resignation was sent, they still had some expectations in their hearts, the old man thought that they would be merciful in the case of their lack of merit over the years, but I didn't expect that the old man really didn't leave them any room at all. It seems that even if they don't retreat, they can force them to retreat, and when they retreat, I'm afraid that there will be nothing.

Lao Ba separates the thirteen lines from the purchase, and the thirteen lines are also used for bidding, and there is no topping, every three years, whoever bids high, who has a three-year franchise. This is very sought-after, think about it, in addition to supplying the royal family, foreigners' things are so sought-after in the aristocracy, so the enthusiasm is extremely high.

Lao Ba also negotiated a contract with his staff, and when he showed it to Xia Mo, Xia Mo only saw a piece of thin paper, and then looked at the content, he had neither rights nor obligations, only how many things he contributed every year, and how much money he wanted. Xia Mo is dizzy.

This is an indicator of significance, and in the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will gradually use this open way to determine everything, so I am not afraid of too many terms, but I am afraid that they will not be detailed.

Those foreign goods are monopolized by them in China, that is, they are monopolized, so isn't it sky-high prices? You have to give them a restriction, and you can't let them mess around. Thinking about it again, yes, he doesn't mind selling it to rich people for one or two thousand times, but he has to take a cut.

Xia Mo fell to the ground! Why is Lao Ba so obsessed with making money? In this way, he can think of collecting money, it seems that the little bun is like him!
