Section 214 Sluts
These merchants are simply a bunch of sluts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info sat down with them to talk to each other, kicking their noses and faces one by one to sit on their heads and. It's only when you really see the benefits that you suddenly realize. If it was a few years ago, Yang Tianhong would have explained it in detail. It's just that now as a marquis, he also holds the power of Anzhou in his hands, and if he does that again, he will definitely be looked down upon by these merchants.
The merchants began to whisper again, and many people moved their minds when they looked at the jar of wine. There are still doubts about this, but there is not as much opposition as before. Fan Qinzhou circled around the table a few times, nodded constantly, and said to himself: "If this wine is really as wonderful as Hou Ye said, the price of twenty taels of silver is worth it." ”
Fan Qinzhou is a smart person. Moreover, much more intelligent than the general concept of smart people.
Obviously, Anzhou has become Yang Tianhong's world. Here, everything is up to him. Even if the Fan family firm had some connections in the court of the Chu State, it was far away from the emperor and could not be taken into account at all. As a festival envoy, you need to consider all matters up and down the state. It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Tianhong's festival makes him look majestic on the surface, but he is also very worried about the money needed to rectify various things in Anzhou. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made this kind of Qingling jade liquid, took it out in front of all the merchants, and sold it for a high price.
Fan Qinzhou concluded that this Qingling Jade Liquid must be real, and it should have the effect of longevity and longevity that Yang Tianhong said. If this is the case, then this business can also be done.
Without waiting for Fan Qinzhou to speak, next to him, Xi Faquan had already sneered, and said loudly: "A mere jar of wine can bring the effect of immortality? Rice selection, steaming, koji, sealing, fermentation...... Although the Xi family is rich. Xi had already seen these things when he was young, and even brewed a few jars of good wine with his own hands. Giving ordinary drinks a good name, and then adding some messy allusions, can be transformed into elixir. As for this immortality...... Does Hou Ye think that this wine, which can be fermented in ten days and half a month in the cellar, can grow for many years. How does ginseng mushroom compare to ingesting the essence of the sun and moon?"
Xi Faquan instinctively didn't believe Yang Tianhong. Jiedu envoy's order to raise the price of commercial goods caused heavy losses to the Xi family firm. Although Xi Faquan is a direct blood relative within the family, he has not reached an absolutely important position. The mutual crushing within the Hao clan is no less tragic than a life-and-death war. Xi Faquan did not bring back enough profits from this trip to Anzhou, and he would definitely be reprimanded by the elders of the clan after he returned. If the punishment is lighter, it may just be out of his own pocket to make up for the shortfall with the money he has not earned enough. If the punishment is severe, there may be no chance to compete for the family heir in the future. Because of this, Xi Faquan hated Yang Tianhong very much, and subconsciously felt every word that came out of his mouth. It's not worth believing at all.
Yang Tianhong did not argue with Xi Faquan. He looked around and said lightly, "Okay! Although this thing is good, it still needs your convincing, and it will take time to verify." I will suffer a loss once and give each of you a jar of wine. As for the efficacy, please taste it, and we'll see you in three days. ”
......
Time flies quickly, and the three-day period is here in a blink of an eye.
The sun has just risen. Fan Qinzhou and other businessmen were already waiting at the gate of the Jiedu Embassy. It is not easy to ask to see a marquis of Yang Tianhong's status, and you need to hand over the prayers one by one. Menzi will enter the house and report it, and only after obtaining permission can it enter. It's definitely not another world where you just need to just ring the doorbell or knock on the door a few times.
The surrounding chatter has not stopped.
"Brother Zhou, what do you think of the effect of that Qingling Jade Liquid? When I first drank it, I thought it was ordinary, at most, it was more mellow than other fine wines. But in the evening. It actually allowed me to sleep peacefully. You know, I've always had trouble sleeping. Over the years, I have been taking prescriptions to calm my nerves and replenish my brain. But it didn't work. I only drank two glasses of this jar of wine given by Yang Houye, and I slept very peacefully. It's been three days, three whole days. Just two cups a day, and when I wake up in the morning, I am full of energy and refreshed. What the Marquis of Yiyong said is true, this wine is wonderful!
"I've felt good after drinking that. I've always had rheumatism on my legs, and it's hard to walk. I drank a glass at the Hou Ye's Mansion that day, and I originally thought it was nothing, and I didn't take the jar of wine to heart after I went back. It was only in the evening that it rained heavily, and the pain that should have been caused was much lessened. For the first time in 30 years, this is the case. I wondered, could it be the effect of this clear spirit jade liquid, so I drank some for several days in a row. In good conscience, if I just rely on drinking alcohol to try to cure my rheumatism, I guess it's unlikely. But the effect was wonderful, at least, it didn't hurt as much as it used to be. By the way, Lao Zhang, haven't you always felt a headache?
The businessman named Lao Zhang looked pained and regretted: "Don't mention it." Lao Tzu and Xi Faquan have a close relationship, and I believed what he said when he was in the Hou Ye's mansion that day. I don't know what's going on, but I want to stand on his side. I didn't move the jar of wine at all, and when I left the gate of the Jiedu Embassy, I gave it to my long-term entourage. When I went to bed at night, I realized that there was no attack at that time when I had a headache every day. At that time, I felt strange, thinking if it was because I had drunk a glass of Qingling jade liquid in the Hou Ye's mansion, so I hurriedly called the chief attendant and asked him about the whereabouts of the jar of wine. Who knew that the damned slave was greedy for a good cup of wine, and drank a jar of wine at dinner. He told me that the wine tasted very good, and that he wanted me to give him another jar...... Damn, Lao Tzu can't wait to split his mind alive. ”
The merchant who spoke first nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "In this way, it seems that Yang Hou Ye really did not deceive us and others." Qingling jade liquid, this wine is also well deserved. Although Anzhou is far away from the Central Plains and the road is difficult, this wine has excellent effect and is also a unique good thing in Anzhou. If it is trafficked to other places, the profits from it are worth the hard work of us. ”
The middle-aged businessman suffering from rheumatism overwhelmed the volume and pretended to be mysterious: "Actually." On that day at the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, I almost wanted to open my mouth and promise the price of twenty taels of silver for Yi Yong. This Qingling jade liquid tastes excellent and is really a fine wine. Even without this miraculous effect of prolonging life, it can still be harvested when transported to the Central Plains. No one is too much money. I don't know if you have found it, although Yang Tianhong and Yang Hou Ye are good at fighting, they are brave and champion the three armies. But when it comes to business, he's still not that material. In fact, if Yi Yonghou had scattered you and me and talked to them one by one, we would have agreed to the price of twenty taels of silver per jar. The reason is very simple! We have come thousands of miles to this hot place of Anzhou, isn't it just to make money? When we see good things, of course, there is no reason to let them go in vain. It's just that as long as we all have one heart, the price of this Qingling jade liquid will definitely not be able to be maintained at twenty taels and one altars. If the hearts of men are scattered. For the sake of yourself...... Don't say it's 20 taels, I'm afraid that even if it's a high price of 30 taels and a jar, someone will still take the initiative to accept it. ”
These words were reasonable, and the two businessmen next to them nodded again and again, and a few more people listened to it interestingly and came over.
"That's right. The brewing method of Qingling jade liquid is unique, and it should be the unique secret recipe of Yi Yonghou. There are only a few good wines in this world. Du Kang, Shuanggou Daqu, Fenjiu, Dong Wine, Erlang Roasted ...... That's right. I heard that a few days ago, there was another Mao Tai. These wines are drunk back and forth, but in fact, the taste is not much different. That is, the bitter cold of Rongdi in the north. I like spirits very much. This Qingling jade liquid comes from Anzhou, the taste is very unique, as long as it is transported to the north, it must be a good business to make money. ”
"The Jiedu Embassy has previously increased the transaction price of Anzhou commercial goods by 20 times. Lao Tzu will not make much money when he goes back this time. If you can't earn back the benefits from this Qingling Jade Liquid, how can you swallow this breath?"
"Yes. The price of twenty taels is too high. Qingling jade liquid is indeed good, even if it doubles several times in the Central Plains, the price of one hundred taels and one jar can still be sold. But if you can lower the price in Anzhou, ten taels ...... No, five taels. Five taels at most. When this money arrives in our hands, everyone can do this business with one heart. At that time, maybe you will be able to get two or three taels of silver. ”
The last person to speak was a merchant surnamed Zhang. His words immediately resonated among the surrounding merchants, and people nodded their heads. It's just that the sound is not loud, like a swarm of chaotic bees "buzzing" and flying, which makes people feel dizzy when they listen to it.
......
Yang Tong appeared at the gate of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion as usual, and shouted with a full of neutrality: "Lord Hou has an order, please enter the mansion to meet you." ”
Yang Tianhong's clothes are still so ordinary. Seeing dozens of wealthy businessmen sitting down in order on both sides of the hall, a sneering sneer flashed in his eyes, and his right hand slowly flicked on the arm of the chair, and said lightly: "The three-day period has passed." I'm sure you've already drunk the good sake brewed here. Let's talk about it! What is this clear spirit jade liquid?"
No one spoke. It's not that no one wants to say it, it's just that no one wants to take the initiative to stand up at such a time. The businessmen were all thinking about how to get greater benefits from it, and they were all waiting and seeing, wanting to see if anyone stood up first, groping and speculating on Yang Tianhong's mind in their words.
Xi Faquan sat on the chair and looked Yang Tianhong up and down with meaningful eyes. It's just that the meaning contained in the gaze is definitely not friendly.
Fan Qinzhou didn't speak either. In fact, he had already prepared the draft, but no one stood up to take the lead, and it was not convenient for him to speak.
There was silence. It was as if sitting in the hall were a group of unconscious dead people.
"Why, no one speaks? Or do you think that the Qingling Jade Liquid of this Hou has too many benefits, not only can it prolong life and strengthen the body, but it can also make people deaf and bright, and have an incomparably magical ability, so that others can understand what they want to express without speaking?"
Yang Tianhong looked around extremely strongly, with a strange but sunny smile on his face: "Since this is the case, then Ben Hou will understand what you mean." It's okay! I feel annoyed if I have too many good words. Since the effect of this Qingling Jade Liquid is obvious to everyone, this price is no longer the twenty-two and one altars mentioned before. This candidate has set the rules now: Qingling jade liquid is a special commodity in Anzhou. The price of each jar is fifty taels of silver. ”
As soon as the words came out, a violent tremor like a volcanic eruption was immediately triggered in the hall.
"What, fifty taels?"
"The price I said before was obviously twenty taels, why did it suddenly become fifty taels now?"
"What are you kidding? Fifty taels? It's good for ordinary people to earn ten taels of silver all year round. Fifty taels and one jars, such an expensive price. Who's going to drink?"
The merchants spoke loudly, in stark contrast to the silence just now. There were countless spittle stars splashing in the air, and the faces were full of excitement and anger.
Fan Qinzhou also felt that there was a nameless ghost fire burning in his heart. He felt cheated. Yang Tianhong is simply an untrustworthy guy. has been doing business in various countries in the world for many years, and it is the first time that Fan Qinzhou has encountered this kind of noble official who does not count when he speaks, and he turns his face and does not recognize people. Yes, the negotiated price three days ago was obviously 20 taels. Today, it has suddenly increased to fifty taels. Is he Yang Tianhong stupid or crazy? Does he really think that silver is as simple as the wind blowing?
Yang Tianhong sat on the main seat, not reacting to the excited and angry businessmen at all. He sipped his tea slowly, looking like he was in a good mood.
That's the kind of effect you want. When these people were called in, Yang Tianhong expected this situation. He was not worried about this, nor did he feel that a group of businessmen who could only talk about it could pose a threat to him.
The best way to deal with chaos is to be patient. After all, people are not machines, enough trouble. When they are tired and the strength in their bodies is exhausted, they will naturally stop.
The confusion and shouting did not last as long as Yang Tianhong expected. Although the merchants were angry, they only talked about it, and it was impossible to make substantive moves. After a long time, the voice in the hall gradually fell, and people invariably focused their eyes on Yang Tianhong. At this time, Yang Tianhong slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand. Glancing casually at the few merchants standing at the front, he calmly asked, "What else do you have to say?" It can be said together. I'm in a good mood today, so I don't have to hold you accountable for your loud and loud noise. ”
Fan Qinzhou's heart suddenly froze. Only then did he remember that his identity was a citizen, and Yang Tianhong was an out-and-out Marquis of Dachu and an envoy of Anzhou. Even if a businessman is rich, he still belongs to the common people.
No one spoke anymore. Silence returned to the hall.
"Aren't you going to say it? Very well, then please prick up your ears and listen to what Ben Hou has to say. ”
Yang Tianhong stretched his body, with undisguised disdain and ridicule: "Anzhou is closed, you must think." Without the existence of the Chamber of Commerce, the people of Anzhou will definitely fall into hardship. Hehe! It's a wonderful idea, and it's realistic. It's a pity that Ben Hou has always been very stubborn, and I don't know what flexibility is. As long as it is something that is to be decided, there is absolutely no reason for it to be changed by others. Since the price of commercial goods in Anzhou has increased by 20 times, it will never fall again. Since the price of Qingling jade liquid was originally set at fifty taels and one altar, it would definitely not be sold for forty-nine taels. ”
Hearing this, Xi Faquan couldn't help it. He stood up from his chair suddenly, walked quickly to the center of the hall, smiled coldly, and said slowly: "Yi Yonghou is indeed a rare strong man in the world. Not only is his military achievements outstanding, but even his tone is so tough. Don't you know that all the commercial goods in the world have their prices and are never fixed. It's like cheap food in a good year, and rice is expensive in a disaster year. Between the high and low, there is always a cause and effect. Anzhou is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is difficult to get around. I really don't understand, what is the intention of Hou Ye to set such a high price for the crude goods in the middle of nowhere? Could it be that Hou Ye has forgotten that this land of Anzhou has become prosperous precisely because of the hard work of rich merchants such as us. If it is because of Hou Ye's stubbornness and cutting off our financial route, this Anzhou will probably be the last time we will come. Don't say that it will wait until next year, I'm afraid that in a few days, all the businessmen up and down Anzhou will be clean. ”
Xi Faquan is very smart and shrewd. After a few words, all the businessmen nodded frequently. On the issue of interests, everyone must agree. Xi Faquan saw this and stepped forward. Faintly. Xi Faquan has become the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, proudly resisting the Yi Yonghou who wants to embezzle the people's fat and ointment.
Yang Tianhong obviously does not intend to let go of this topic. He looked at Xi Faquan and said calmly: "That's right, Anzhou has indeed become prosperous because of your merchants. That was all in the past, though. Since Ben Hou has become the ruler of Anzhou, all affairs here must be decided by Ben Hou. Anzhou's business is here, and whoever wants to do it, as long as they abide by the law, there is no problem. Don't think that things in the world can't be done without someone, that's just your complacent thinking. For the sake of all of you who have contributed to Anju in the past, I would like to give you a chance. If you are willing to obey the laws and regulations honestly, and do things according to the rules. Then the number of Anzhou commercial goods and Qingling jade liquid sold in the future can allow you to get some preferential treatment. If not, get out of Anzhou early. Moreover, the business name and family where this person works are all regarded as bad intentions, and they will always be the enemies of my Anzhou!" )
